Meeting Elder Lysania Shadow Song again was not as difficult as it had been the first time. With Stasha leading the way, Xu Yi and his party entered the Moon Shadow Tribe without any trouble.
When Elder Lysania Shadow Song learned that the negotiations would be handled by Delier and Anise, two elves from the Night Song Tribe, and that Xu Yi, a human, would not intervene at all, she was briefly surprised before visibly relaxing. The guarded look she had given Xu Yi turned friendly.
Watching Anise and Delier follow Elder Lysania Shadow Song into an elven cottage, accompanied by Stasha, Xu Yi smiled and casually found somewhere to sit in the Moon Shadow Tribe.
Xu Yi felt completely at ease about these negotiations.
After a period of practice, Delier had become somewhat seasoned at business negotiations. Although she certainly was not as crafty as many veteran human merchants, she was more than capable of handling negotiations with Elder Lysania Shadow Song.
Besides, from any perspective, this arrangement offered the Moon Shadow Tribe nothing but benefits.
Although the Rubber Processing Factory they were about to establish would nominally belong to the Xinfei Merchant Guild, it would actually be controlled entirely by elves, just like the Night Song Plastic Processing Factory in Falling Rain Valley. The Xinfei Merchant Guild would retain ownership in name only.
At the same time, the Xinfei Merchant Guild would continuously place orders with the Rubber Processing Factory according to its needs, ensuring that the factory always had work to do.
As for rubber-processing technology, the Night Song Plastic Processing Factory and the Xinfei Merchant Guild would both assist the Moon Shadow Tribe, collaborating on research to ensure that the tribe could fully master it.
In short, the Moon Shadow Tribe would not have to worry
