Chapter 312: The Troublesome Child Has Candy to Eat
Ida never expected that Linda would really agree that she didn't have to go to class.
Although Linda insisted that Ada go to the academy at least once a day and perform the contents of the magic practice class in front of her, to make sure that her magic skills did not regress.
But for Ada, this is already the greatest liberation.
Compared with the previous heavy study, I just need to go to the academy every day to report, and the rest of the time is completely free.
Ida opened her hands and exclaimed as she embraced the world: "Ah, the feeling of freedom!
Amber glanced at Ada, who was facing a large open box full of gold coins.
"Shouldn't it smell like gold?"
"So the taste of freedom is the taste of gold coins?"
Ida lowered her head, frowned at the box in front of her, and suddenly said, "Your Excellency Death, I always feel that you are teaching me badly. β
"Oh? β
"I would have been a great magician, but you have been tempting me to be a cunning businessman. β
Ada's expression was extremely serious: "Ms. Linda told me yesterday that I am now at an age where it is easy to be influenced by others, and it is easy to fall into depravity at this time. β
"Oh, really?"
An Baichen sneered and said, "Then I will take back all the undead, cancel the contract with you, you are free, go back to the Thorn Flower Academy!"
"Huh, can the contract still be terminated?"
Ada's face turned pale, and the serious expression on her face turned into tears: "Your Excellency Death, I was joking just now......"
"Think about how to get your magic chamber of commerce on the right track. β
An Baichen sighed and said, "Have you finished reading all those books I gave you last night?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Death is really knowledgeable, the knowledge of economics has opened my eyes, and I am confident that I will become the most successful businessman!"
"I want to warn you that you still owe me money for a pill, and I have paid a great price for you to understand the words and knowledge. β
"How much money, I'll give it to you now!"
Ida stepped on the gold coin and waved her hand, very arrogant.
Although her movements are indecent, her fluttering hair and big eyes make her temperament unchangeable, and she will always be so cute and beautiful.
"Not much. β
An Baichen said lightly: "Ten thousand magic crystals of ordinary capacity." β
"Huh?"
Ida couldn't help but be dumbfounded, she glanced at the box in front of her, and said with a sad face: "Your Excellency Death, these tens of thousands of gold coins are not enough to buy." β
"Out of the way, you have enough time to earn, I'm patient. β
"Your Excellency Death, can it be cheaper? I owe so much before I make any money, and I'm under a lot of pressure. β
"Can't be cheap. β
"It's stingy. β
An Baichen was angry.
Am I being stingy? In order to let you understand the knowledge and theory of economics, I used a fantasy prop that I exchanged for twenty years of life!
It's my life!
With a twenty-year lifespan, you have to earn at least 240,000 undead breath to make up for the loss.
Only one magic crystal of ordinary capacity can provide about 1,000 points of undead breath.
I just want 10,000 magic crystals in return.
Is it expensive!
Well, it's a bit pricey indeed.
But after all, this is an investment with interest, and I never make loss-making transactions.
Ida couldn't get the discount, and she was very sad.
"Have you figured out what to do?"
An Baichen didn't want to care about the little girl's mood, he only cared about whether his investment could receive enough returns: "Your current situation is not particularly optimistic, but your advantages are not well managed, do you have a plan in mind?"
"Your Excellency Death, I have already figured out what to do, just watch!
"But now I only see you being lazy, holding the gold coin and shouting slogans. β
"I'm waiting for the right time!"
Ada said unconvinced, and with that, she turned and left the room, finding a servant.
"Miss Ada, do you have any orders?"
"The people on this list, you visit them all, and say that I will hold a banquet in the Duke's castle tonight, and the Wilson Chamber of Commerce will choose the excellent Chamber of Commerce as its partner tonight. β
An Baichen glanced at the list through the eyes of the undead, and the names on it were the merchants of the city that Ida had ordered the butler to collect last night, most of them were managers of the Magic Chamber of Commerce and the large general Chamber of Commerce.
"As you wish, Miss Ada. The servant glanced at the list and left the chamber of commerce.
As a servant of the Duke's Castle, his status is naturally higher than that of ordinary people, not to mention that he is visiting these merchants on behalf of Miss Ida this time.
"Your Excellency Death, did you say they would come to my banquet?"
"You have a good idea, to use your aristocratic status to induce merchants to cling to you, but you must not forget the essence of merchants seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. β
An Baichen said lightly: "In my estimation, there will be many businessmen who come here tonight who want to cooperate with you on an equal footing, but in fact, they are seeking asylum as a duke. β
"In a sense, working with these kinds of merchants will break the rules of the city that your father made. β
"Don't worry, Lord Death, I'm not that stupid. β
"One more point, I think it's necessary to remind you. β
An Baichen paused and continued: "Don't you think, your magic chamber of commerce is now in space? There are simply not enough people to use, and there are not enough good backbone members. β
"Don't tell me that you're going to do everything yourself. β
"No, I'm going to be a great magician, how can I deal with gold every day. β
"Then you have to recruit some good people and members of the chamber of commerce. β
"Aha, that's my next step. β
"Really? You must have thought of this through my reminder, right?"
"No, it's really one of my plans. β
No matter what Ada said, at least she's on the right track.
In the afternoon, Ida and a few servants arrived at the city's West End Market, where the city's unemployed and a large number of outsiders would look for work in the designated places of the West End Market.
This was not an unwritten rule, but a rigid requirement from the duke, who did not allow a large number of unemployed and famous people in the city to disturb the social order.
From a certain point of view, the cultural level and social awareness of the Kolia continent are not low, except for some differences in cultural styles, most of the cognitive levels are comparable to those of the technological society, but the way of dealing with things will be slightly different.
In the city of thorns, even people who are not good at it can find a satisfying job, there are so many opportunities here, this is a very prosperous city.
It will be easier for a person to find a job if they can have enough talents, such as a moving craftsman, a bankrupt merchant, a magic apprentice without a certificate, and these professions are sought-after in any city.
Especially in the city of thorns, it can be said that there are talents everywhere.
It's like being a big city on the planet, where people can walk everywhere, and the more backward the place, the less people can walk, and there are surprising commonalities in many worlds on this point.
Ida found enough good talents in the West End Market, and it can also be said that because of her high-profile announcement of her identity, many talents defected, and even said that many excellent talents are still considering whether to change jobs.
No one doubted the strength of the Wilson Chamber of Commerce, or even if people didn't believe that Ada could run the Chamber of Commerce well, they didn't care.
As long as you can follow Miss Ada, then you can catch the big ship of the Wilson family.
For the vast majority of middle-level and low-level social people, whether they can successfully hug a thigh determines whether they can completely change their life destiny.
It's just that to An Baichen's surprise, Ida didn't leave a little gold as a cost of operation, and she used all the gold coins to recruit talents.
One afternoon, with a wave of her hand, she recruited hundreds of talents of all kinds, most of whom were well-known freelancers in the city, and even some of them were key members of the Chamber of Commerce who took the initiative to change jobs.
No one dares to complain about Ida, even the Chamber of Commerce, whose interests are affected by the job-hopping incident.
The jewel of the city wants to share this cake, and everyone will only share a portion of the profits to fill her taste, not rebel against her.
It's not Ida who is important, it's the surname behind her name and the Duke.
Ida has been going well so far, and this kind of success has been predicted by Amberson for a long time, but soon she will have her first challenge and decision.
Merchants are cunning, and if Ada is too naΓ―ve, she will still fall into the temptations and traps laid by the merchants, and be used as an umbrella and shield.
An Baichen felt that at tonight's banquet, Ida would make a mistake.
But unexpectedly, Ada suddenly canceled the banquet in the middle of the banquet, and instead instructed the other servants to secretly invite a few of the large magic chambers and a few small ordinary chambers of commerce alone.
"Your Excellency Death, in fact, today's act of sending a banquet invitation to the city's chamber of commerce is just to announce that the Wilson Chamber of Commerce has officially joined the game. β
"I think every chamber of commerce that gets an invitation is planning what kind of attitude they should have towards me, but I don't really want to invite everyone. β
"I have a good butler, and she has told me that a large part of the chamber of commerce is actually very unhappy with my father's strict rule, and may secretly make some trouble for me. β
Ida said with a smile: "I don't need to contact these people with evil intentions at all, I only need to focus on contacting a few large magic chambers of commerce, these large chambers of commerce have the support of nobles behind them, and they don't particularly need my protection." β
"But my status makes them have to pay attention, after all, I am the daughter of the Duke, although I can't ban a chamber of commerce, but I can easily influence the income level of a chamber of commerce in the city this year and even in the next few years. β
"I see. β
An Baichen sighed: "The children who can make trouble have candy to eat, you are changing the direction and threatening the major chambers of commerce." β
Although Ida is not the city lord and has no right to give much convenience to the major chambers of commerce, her identity is very special and can create many difficulties for the chambers of commerce.
I can't give you a great benefit, but I can hold you back!
If you want the imp not to be difficult, then give it to Sugar.
If Ada contacts the entire city's chambers of commerce at once, everyone will breathe a sigh of relief, at least Ada will not threaten so many chambers of commerce, this will affect the economic direction of a city, and the Duke will not allow her to come so nonsense.
But Ida abruptly canceled the evening's banquet halfway through.
This is an attitude that does not need to be said explicitly, and when Ida sent someone to contact the major chambers of commerce privately, everyone already knew it.
This little girl has come to ask for candy.
