"Boss Xiang, since you have the sincerity to cooperate, we welcome it. However, I must clarify one thing: even though I'm just the middleman, I still need to collect a fee. So, apart from the one-time payment you make, I'll also take a cut of the profits. Don't say we're bullying you, I've always had a sixty-forty split with Yan Bin, but since it's our first time doing business, I'll only take thirty percent," Ding Yongzhi said.
The moment Xiang Yu saw him, he knew Ding Yongzhi was the typical shady merchant; there was no way Yan Bin would actually give him money, much less a sixty-forty split. Xiang Yu laughed and said, "That won't do."
Ding Yongzhi thought Xiang Yu disagreed, when in fact, his ideal was to take a twenty percent cut. As a middleman, he would always collect his fee, and getting a cut of the profits was like picking up free money.
