Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

"good!"

The Rock Nest Tribe masters applauded excitedly.

Some people even stood up, tears welling in their eyes: "That's so well said!"

Duan took a serious look at Li Zhi for the first time.

See the stubbornness, resilience, and sincerity in her eyes.

The defensiveness in her eyes finally disappeared, replaced by approval and respect.

"You have a lot of ideas."

"A person who can endure hardship and plan for the sake of his race will also be a trustworthy partner."

"The Rock Nest Clan is willing to cooperate with you."

Li Zhi took out a can of cola, and then took out just enough cups for everyone.

Fill it up.

Raise a glass.

"Defeat Celia!"

The Rock Nest Clan masters, who had been puzzled, suddenly became excited.

They all raised their glasses together.

"Defeat Celia!"

Duan and another Rock Nest merchant exchanged a glance and also raised their Coke cans.

Li Zhi: "Defeat the Forging Clan!"

Rock Nest Clan: "Defeat the Forge Clan!!!"

Li Zhi drank the cola in one gulp.

Several masters from the Rock Nest tribe also finished their drinks in one gulp.

"Burp~"

Duan's eyes lit up instantly.

"What is this?"

The Rock Nest Tribe masters also looked on with curiosity.

Li Zhi: "This is the most popular drink among the younger generation of our new race. However, the production process is complicated and the quantity is extremely limited. It is only because I have made friends with like-minded people like you that I am willing to share it."

The master was deeply moved: "The moment you walked in, I knew you were a good kid. My judgment has never been wrong."

After emerging from Beta Tree 1209, Li Zhi burped twice in a row.

The Rock Nest tribe was too enthusiastic, and they shared the same hobbies.

I couldn't resist sharing 1.5L of the drink.

When he got carried away, he cursed Celia for three hundred rounds.

The inventory has all been cleared out.

Their friendship deepened.

The Rock Nest tribe also brought out their unique snacks.

A crunchy, salty root vegetable and meat product called tagara that goes well with cola.

Before leaving, Li Zhi insisted on giving her a bag.

She should visit the Rock Nest tribe when she has time.

Li Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder the Rock Nest Clan lost so badly to the Melting Forge Clan in the last century.

Just about mindset.

Celia alone outnumbers the entire Rock Nest Clan by 800.

"What are you thinking about?"

A hoarse voice suddenly came from beneath my feet.

Li Zhi was startled.

He patted his chest, annoyed, and said, "I just came back from working hard to negotiate a deal for our business, and you're trying to scare me?"

Celia: "You don't look like you're having a hard time."

Li Zhi complained, "Does it mean that we have to be beaten up and left looking disheveled to be considered hard-working?"

Celia: "Did you mention that the Forging Clan will also be joining the exchange?"

Li Zhi: "Let's talk on the boat."

Once they arrived at Celia's luxurious suite, Li Zhicai found a large rock to lie down on and relaxed, saying, "Of course I told them. What if they back out after the exchange opens?"

"Did Duan agree?"

"She agreed," Li Zhi said casually. "I told her that you and I are enemies, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and she agreed without hesitation."

Celia's suspicious gaze instantly turned to doubt: "That's it?"

Li Zhi: "He also said a lot of bad things about you."

Celia remained expressionless: "Anything else?"

Li Zhi: "Oh, they think 1% of the shares is too little, and they're only agreeing if you reduce your shareholding."

Celia: "You agreed too?"

Li Zhi: "Wasn't this something we already agreed on?"

When Li Zhi persuaded Celia to cooperate, he used a 50% shareholding as an example.

But just as Black Iron Harbor's annual transaction volume exceeds 100 million gold, she couldn't possibly give Celia a 50% stake.

Therefore, the final figure they agreed on in the letter of intent was actually between 30% and 40%.

The exact figure will depend on the subsequent equity distribution among the cooperating races.

The more races that join the exchange, the harder it is to persuade them, and the more money Celia and Li Zhi will have to give up.

But it doesn't matter whether it's Li Zhi or Celia.

They all hope to give away the other party's share.

Celia: "How much did you say you'd give them?"

Li Zhi: "It's still in the negotiation stage, nothing has been agreed upon yet, that's why I came back to talk to you. How much are you willing to give up?"

Celia gave her a threatening look: "Are you planning to use all of my share?"

Li Zhi complained, "I'm not the one who has a grudge against the Rock Nest Clan. I worked so hard, talked myself hoarse, and humbled myself to negotiate the cooperation. To get them to agree, I even drank a lot of unhealthy beverages. Don't you know how fragile our newborn race is? I've already given enough!"

Celia was skeptical.

It is certain that Li Zhi did persuade the Rock Nest Clan to join the exchange.

Because it's impossible to lie about something like this.

Persuading the Rock Nest Clan and the Melting Forge Clan to cooperate, even if it's not a true collaboration but simply becoming shareholders in the same company, is already very difficult.

Li Zhi may have really paid the price for this.

It's just a matter of how much of a price to pay.

Celia is difficult to define.

Li Zhi sighed: "I didn't want to get involved in your feud with the Rock Nest Clan. If you hadn't insisted on dragging me into it, why would I have gone through all this trouble to persuade your two families to cooperate?"

"Ultimately, I was just trying to protect myself if the Rock Nest Clan found out about the auction."

Celia's eyes instantly darkened: "You told the Rock Nest Clan that the auctioned microcrystalline energy converter was given to our Forging Clan?"

Li Zhi: "I told you, this matter will be exposed sooner or later. Saying it in advance will maximize our profits. As a mature businessman, you shouldn't be unaware of this, right?"

Celia's expression and prosthetic limb changed simultaneously: "I'll let it go this time, but if you dare to leak the secrets of the Forging Clan again, I won't show any mercy."

The hairs that had stood up on the back of Li Zhi's back slowly slumped down, his face filled with disappointment and accusation:

"Look at you, threatening me again! I treated you as my life mentor, but you keep pushing me away and don't trust me at all!"

Celia did not speak.

Li Zhi: "If it weren't for the interests of the Forging Clan, I would have already determined the share when I was negotiating the cooperation with the Rock Nest Clan, and directly allocated it from you. I could have easily concluded the cooperation, which would have been entirely beneficial to me. So, who do you think I'm benefiting from by leaving time for negotiation?"

Celia's hoarse voice softened slightly: "I know it wasn't easy for you to persuade the Rock Nesters. I'll provide 80% of the share you agreed on."

Li Zhi's eyes darted around: "If I bet below 2%, you'll have to sell everything."

Celia thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Before Li Zhi could even smirk, she let out a chuckle: "But you'll have to contribute 80% of the share needed to persuade the Feathered Spirit Clan."

Li Zhi sat up straight instantly: "Why?!"

Celia: "Your level is too low and your strength is too weak. Without the smelting clan as a guarantor, the Feathered Spirit Clan cannot join the exchange. I will handle the trouble you caused. You should pay more of your share. Isn't that your logic?"

OK OK.

Is this how you play it?

Li Zhi retorted, "I'll only contribute 50% at most!"

70%.

"60! That's the most I can offer! And you have to guarantee I can attend the trading conference!"

"make a deal."
