At the table, old Madame Rosanna, who smiled as brightly as the sun, kept giving Mordred food, as if she wanted to turn these foods into decades of longing and confide in Mordred.
Mordred was a bit of a scramble, eating this and that.
Fortunately, her appetite has increased a lot in the past few years because of her sufficient exercise, and she has a tendency to be on par with her ancestors and Artoria, otherwise she would have eaten a long time ago.
Charles and Artoria were eating breakfast while silently looking at the old and the young, Mordred had recovered from the shock of learning about her origins, her eyes were not as dull as before, and the old lady Rosanna treated her as if she were her own granddaughter, and asked her to call her grandma.
At that time, Fachetti touched the back of his head, and there was suddenly an elder in the family, so he didn't react for a while.
Fachetti came over yesterday afternoon and seemed to have something to discuss with Old Madame Rosanna, but the sudden accident obviously caught him a little off guard, but Grandma's business was the greatest, so he put it down first.
And old lady Rosanna had been talking to Mordred at breakfast to-day, and Facchetti tried to speak several times but couldn't interject at all.
Charles has been watching all this, and at the same time he is a little helpless in his heart, he has realized that he has been calculated by Fachetti.
After breakfast, old lady Rosanna asked the butler to prepare the car, she was to take Mordred to the city to shop, Fachetti was to go back to the Chamber of Commerce with her, and Charles and Artoria also took the car back to the city.
Halfway through, Facchetti finally seized an opportunity, and he said to Old Madame Rosanna: "Grandma, ...... in the Chamber of Commerce"
Before he could finish speaking, Old Madame Rosanna stopped him from going on, and said, "I said that the Chamber of Commerce will be handed over to you, so do as you want, and I will leave it alone." β
Fachetti was visibly relieved, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Not long after entering the city, old lady Rosanna got off the bus with Mordred, who was still a little reserved, and walked into a shop with dolls in beautiful little dresses outside the door.
The three people in the car could still hear her shouting to the waiter as soon as she entered the door, "Give you half a minute to find your boss."
Fachetti shook his head with a smile and said, "The owner of this shop is an old friend of my grandmother. β
And Charles didn't take it, he just watched Fachetti smile quietly and didn't say anything.
Fachetti was a little embarrassed by him, and said, "Your Excellency, is there something wrong?"
Charles narrowed his eyes, and then said, "Prepare a few sets of casual clothes for the two of us, and I won't pursue your calculations about me." β
Fachetti was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded in agreement. There was one thing he did not do properly, and Charles had a reason to put a few pairs of small shoes on him.
Charles then asked, "Do you know about the Gleason Chamber of Commerce?"
This use of one's own name as the name of the Chamber of Commerce is not uncommon, especially in places like the Principality of Milan, where there are many Chambers of Commerce.
Facchetti's expression was a little strange, and he said: "Does Your Excellency the Count have something to do with this chamber of commerce, they are in Florence City, and now they are about to go bankrupt, if you want to collect debts, it is estimated that it is too late." β
Charles asked, "How could they go bankrupt?"
"The Gleason Chamber of Commerce's main business is to make elven-style ornaments, but it also buys second-hand elven ornaments to repair and sell," Facchetti said. β
"It's just that in the past year, the number of jewelry exported by elves has increased dramatically, and the price is cheaper, so the imitations made by their chamber of commerce are not marketable, and the market for second-hand jewelry refurbishment is not so big. β
"You know, the material cost of these jewelry is very expensive, and the chamber of commerce owes a lot of money to the material dealer, and at the end of the year, they can't pay it back and it's over. β
Charles stopped and shook his head, it turned out to be a "copycat machine" and a "refurbished machine", but he didn't expect to encounter Queen Victoria's order to reduce the price and clear the inventory, and it was over.
Speaking of which, it has something to do with Charles.
At that time, he analyzed the problems of the elves as a supply side of the elves, such as the aging of the product structure, and the queen later ordered his subordinates to investigate the matter, and found that the situation was just as Charles said.
In Charles's opinion, it will take a few years for the elves to encounter difficulties in exporting, but in terms of the elves' view of time, this is an imminent and serious problem.
So Queen Victoria secretly ordered the guys, who were slow to change their minds in the eyes of humans, to quickly clear their warehouses and make a fortune, and at the same time to do some new tricks to seize new markets.
The most important thing is that Queen Victoria ordered Charles to open an "online store" on the dream platform on the human side, and then she personally approached Leif to solve the logistics and collection of payment problems by relying on the dragon's courier.
Those who buy these high-end jewelry are not bad at money, and they pay more attention to face than money.
In the past, I bought knockoffs because there were so many sales of genuine goods, and I couldn't buy them with money. Now that the supply of genuine products is sufficient and the price has been reduced, who will buy a copycat.
And now there is a dragon door-to-door delivery service, that's a dragon, and the face is even bigger.
In this way, this Gleason Chamber of Commerce is miserable.
Charles thought for a moment and asked, "Is anyone planning to buy this Chamber of Commerce now?"
Fachetti thought for a moment and replied, "I haven't heard of anyone buying it lately, and His Excellency the Earl is interested in that chamber of commerce?"
Charles said, "I'll have to go and see." β
At this time, Facchetti took out a beautiful small wooden box from his pocket and handed it to Charles, the lid of the wooden box was also printed with the logo of the Black Eagle Chamber of Commerce, he said: "This is the business card of our Chamber of Commerce, you can use it as a stepping stone, our Chamber of Commerce still has some face in the Principality of Milan." β
Charles took the box of business cards and handed it to Artoria for her to put away.
When the carriage arrived at the door of the Chamber of Commerce, Facchetti got out of the carriage, and he had just taken two steps to notice that Charles and the others had not followed, and when he turned back, he found that the carriage had already driven away.
Mearu in the carriage had made up his mind to skip work, and after Facchetti got off the train, he removed the soundproofing magic in the carriage and asked the coachman to send them back to their accommodation.
After resounding the car, Artoria asked Charles, "What are you going to do next?"
Charles stretched and said: "How about we spend a few days in the Duchy of Milan, I've always heard that there are a lot of fun things here, I remember there is a saying that if you don't come to the Duchy of Milan, you don't know what it means to enjoy." β
As a result, Artoria said "hehe" twice, "Do you think you have enough money?"
This sentence completely made Charles die down, high enjoyment means high consumption, although he made a small profit a while ago, but this little money is sprinkled in high-end entertainment venues.
This made him a little helpless, as the No. 1 tyrant in the mainland, he didn't have the money to go out to play, can this be believed?
But the poor also have the poor man's play, Charles said: "Why don't we go shopping, just look at it and don't buy it, what do you say?"
Artoria thought for a moment and said, "I know there's a nice place you should like and it doesn't cost anything. β
Charles didn't know what she was talking about, but he was certainly right to follow her.
