"Thirty percent?" Elder Elusia's expression shifted. After a moment's thought, she asked, "President Xu, may I ask how serious the losses this caused your guild were?"
"Under the contract we signed earlier, this delayed a small portion of our Magic Fan production, leaving a batch of orders unfinished by the deadline. As a result, we paid the customer three thousand gold coins in compensation for breach of contract," Xu Yi replied.
Sincere regret appeared on Elder Elusia's face. "I'm sorry, President Xu. I'll find a way to make up for the losses your guild suffered."
Xu Yi watched Elder Elusia for a while, then slowly shook his head and sighed. "Elder Elusia, a loss of three thousand gold coins actually isn't much to our guild. By comparison, your tribe has suffered a greater loss."
Elder Elusia looked at Xu Yi in surprise. "Why do you say that?"
"First, the defective products came from the goods your Night Song Tribe delivered. Under the contract, your tribe should bear the losses caused by those defective products. According to the usual practices among human merchants, you should also pay the Xinfei Merchant Guild an appropriate amount of gold coins in compensation."
Elder Elusia nodded without hesitation. "That's only right. However, our tribe doesn't currently have enough gold coins to pay you back..."
"We can discuss that later." Xu Yi waved a hand and continued gravely, "Second, this time the Xinfei Merchant Guild commissioned your Night Song Tribe to produce twenty thousand plastic casings for Magic Fans. Yet more than thirty percent of the products you delivered were defective. By human standards, our guild would have serious doubts about your tribe's capabilities. Even if we had similar orders in the future, we would be very unlikely to consider commissioning your tribe again."
