"…" Hearing Feng Qianyu's words, Shifeng fell silent.
It was normal to haggle when working together.
Both sides would strive for the greatest benefits from their own standpoint.
While this might seem smart, it would actually put them at a disadvantage. After all, neither side knew the other's bottom line. The side that spoke first would have their bottom line tested first.
Moreover, since Feng Qianyu had already said so, how could he take advantage of the situation?
After a long time, Shifeng remained silent. However, Feng Qianyu was not anxious at all. On the contrary, he leisurely admired the scenery around him.
"What does the Phoenix Pavilion Master think of 20% of the shares?" Shifeng finally asked after thinking for a long time.
"20%?" Feng Qianyu was stunned. He then shot Shifeng a look that said, "You're screwing me over?"
The channels Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion controlled and provided raw materials and recipes were what a trading firm needed the most. The more channels one had, the more customers one could attract. Not to mention, they could provide raw materials and recipes in bulk. This was what a trading firm lacked the most.
Although Candlelight's scale was not small, there were only two cities that were truly useful. One was White River City, and the other was Star-Moon City. If Shi Feng and Phoenix Pavilion worked together, they would have ten or even dozens of cities. The benefits they could bring to the Pavilion would be more than ten times greater than what they currently had.
The only things Shi Feng could take out were his abundant Gold Coins, Intermediate Mana Armor Kits, Light Stones, and Basic Strengthened Armor Kits. Aside from that, there was nothing special.
However, Shifeng was only offering 20%.
Normally, if it were someone else, they would be willing to offer 50% or even 60%.
"That's right, 20%. This is the limit of what I can offer. If the Phoenix Pavilion Master is unwilling, then forget it, "Shifeng said seriously.
Feng Qianyu did not know this. Shifeng had only offered Gentle Snow 15% of the shares. Moreover, this was only after incorporating Ouroboros. Although Feng Qianyu could provide more channels, Shifeng did not need such things at this stage of the game.
Although they might provide a great advantage in the early stages, the core of a trading firm was not the channels but the product itself.
To forge iron, one needed to be strong.
Overwhelming Trading Firm's channels were much better than Candlelight's, but so what?
If not for the Fire Dragon Potion supporting the Overwhelming Trading Firm, the Overwhelming Trading Firm would have long since lost its market.
As long as one trading firm had an exclusive product, there was no need to worry about others not coming to buy it.
Take the Epic items for example. Even players from other empires and kingdoms would be willing to pay an exorbitant teleportation fee to purchase them.
Most importantly, Candlelight had an advantage that no other player had. That was the Special Space of a 2-Star Trading Firm. That place could nurture a large number of Forgers and other Lifestyle players. Not only was it efficient, but it could also save money.
Although it was good to have more channels, there was one thing that the trading companies couldn't produce that many products. It was like looking at a treasure but not being able to obtain it. It was meaningless.
Whether it was the Intermediate Mana Armor Kits or the Fire Dragon Potion, the production of these items was extremely low. Very few people were able to purchase them. Hence, Candlelight was able to surpass the Overwhelming Trading Firm. The main reason was that the Light Stones were an ordinary trading company.
Feng Qianyu's offer was merely icing on the cake. He was only willing to offer 20% of the Overwhelming Trading Firm's shares because of its future development potential, not the current situation.
"President Hei Yan sure is confident in Candlelight. With this, I can rest assured, "Feng Qianyu said, smiling." Alright, then. I've already said that President Hei Yan can name the price. Naturally, I won't go back on my word. 20% it is. When the time comes, I'll send someone to contact you secretly. In addition, I'll also provide you with information on the cities in other kingdoms and empires. If President Hei Yan wishes to develop in any major city or needs anything, just inform him. He'll arrange everything. "
Following which, the two signed a contract.
Feng Qianyu's decisiveness slightly surprised Shifeng.
"Phoenix Pavilion Master, don't you feel that you're losing out?" Shifeng asked, smiling.
Ordinary people wouldn't agree to such a seemingly harsh request. They would definitely develop their own trading firm. At the very least, they would have complete control over the trading firm. However, Feng Qianyu had agreed without hesitation.
"Losing out?" The Phoenix Pavilion Master shook her head. With a hint of clarity in her eyes, she said, "I don't think so. I can feel that President Hei Yan feels that you're losing out more than I do.
"To put it more bluntly, I've clearly made such a good offer. Yet, Guild Leader Black Flame, you still don't care about it. You're even offering such a high price. There's only one reason for this, and that is that the Candlelight Trading Firm is hiding a secret that I don't know about. The value of the Candlelight Trading Firm is even higher than my offer.
Feng Qianyu's words left Shifeng at a loss for words.
The Fairy Queen truly lived up to her reputation. It was no wonder that Super Guilds had acknowledged the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's current status because of her existence.
After Feng Qianyu quietly left …
Shifeng smiled inwardly as he looked at the Epic Treasure Chest Feng Qianyu had left behind.
He could open an Epic Treasure Chest right now.
No matter how he looked at it, he had profited greatly from this transaction. If Feng Qianyu found out about this, he would definitely be depressed.
"I wonder what kind of good items I'll get from the Epic Treasure Chest?" Shifeng could not help but look forward to it.
As far as he could remember, he had never heard of an Epic Treasure Chest. As for what kind of good items he could get from it, he could only guess. However, at the very least, it would be an Epic item.
However, how could an Epic item possibly satisfy him? To maximize the benefits he could get from the Epic Treasure Chest, Shifeng had no intention of opening it right now. He wanted to wait a little longer.
Luck played a huge role in opening a Treasure Chest. Currently, Icarus's Heart was only Dark-Gold rank. It had yet to reach its limit. Moreover, it was already close to reaching Epic rank. As long as he collected more Life Force, he would be able to reach Epic rank.
After all, Dark-Gold rank was only at the standard of mortals, while Epic rank was at the extraordinary standard. There was a qualitative difference between the two. At that time, his increased Luck would definitely increase significantly.
Opening the Epic Treasure Chest at that time would be the wisest choice.
What he needed to do now was to collect as many Magic Crystals as possible.
Eighty-eight Mana Stones would cost a significant amount of Magic Crystals. Not to mention, the Divine Colosseum would open in the future. That was a bottomless pit that would devour Magic Crystals.
Following which, Shifeng stored the Epic Treasure Chest and left the VIP reception room, heading towards the Starstreak Trading Firm.
The Starstreak Trading Firm was originally the most prosperous trading firm in White River City. However, after the rise of Candlelight, the trading firm's liveliness had dropped significantly. Currently, the main reason why players still visited the trading firm was to purchase some of the common goods that only NPCs sold. However, the Starstreak Trading Firm still provided Shifeng with plenty of benefits.
The Starstreak Trading Firm was established by NPC, and it had branches in the eight cities surrounding White River City. Unlike the player-established trading firms, the Starstreak Trading Firm did not have to pay a cross-city fee. Hence, Shi Feng would still place some of his high-ranking products in the Starstreak Trading Firm for sale. Only, the cities where the Candlelight Trading Firm was located would not sell these items.
"Your Highness Ye Feng, you've arrived," Anna, who was currently busy, hurriedly stood up and greeted Shifeng when she saw him enter the President's Office.
