Next comes the negotiation on revenue sharing percentages.
Duke was well-prepared, having had the Arcane Master Association staff draft a framework agreement, which exclusive licensors from various regions could modify.
There were many clauses, with licensing fees being paid in a lump sum, ranging from tens of millions to billions depending on the size and market potential of the region.
The revenue sharing percentage was the core, and Duke's bottom line ranged from ten to fifteen percent of sales revenue.
He expected some haggling, but was surprised that most licensors readily accepted; the East Coast's Star Dome Commerce Association even proactively offered twelve percent, stating that the technology was worth the price.
Next came the channels outside the Wizard Plane.
Representatives of the Arcane Master Association spoke first.
