Chapter 143 Carter Chamber of Commerce

Chapter 143 Carter Chamber of Commerce

Dorothy is very efficient.

She traveled back and forth between the city of apprentices and the capital.

Many merchants wanted to see Dorothy. Of course, Dorothy couldn't meet every single one; she had to be selective.

For those prestigious chambers of commerce, Dorothy would only choose a few to talk to the branch presidents of.

Dorothy's main targets were the emerging small business associations.

Because these small chambers of commerce are just starting out, they have some strength but not a strong background. The key is that they are full of enthusiasm, and there is an 80% chance that they will cooperate with Dorothy.

Most importantly, the price they offered was very honest.

Many chambers of commerce were willing to let Dorothy take 50% of their profits, even after they had contributed their own manpower and resources.

It could be said that Dorothy only needed to come up with one idea.

Dorothy didn't need to worry about any of the other tasks, from purchasing materials to making, transporting, and selling clothing, including the storage and handling of goods.

Of course, although magical contracts exist, Dorothy will only allow these merchants to sell goods; she will absolutely not allow them to have any other contact with them.

For example, Dorothy would not allow them to have access to the most important and core part of business—publicity.

In the spacious and bright office, a slightly overweight middle-aged man rubbed his hands together and looked at Dorothy with a smile.

"So, Chairman Carter, is that a deal?"

The other person's face was full of flattery, and the Chairman Carter he mentioned was naturally Dorothy.

Leonce registered a Carter Chamber of Commerce using Dorothy's last name, Carrecat.

Dorothy went out to communicate with other chambers of commerce, using the identity of the president of the Carter Chamber of Commerce.

Although the Carter Chamber of Commerce was a newly emerged chamber of commerce, businessmen who knew the inside story did not underestimate it at all.

Therefore, despite Dorothy's childlike appearance, no businessman would actually treat her as a child.

After Dorothy and Anna left the middle-aged businessman's office, Dorothy said to Anna with a grin, "Raffi's identity is really useful, Anna. Did you see that businessman? He didn't haggle much at all."

Anna shook her head slightly as she looked at the smug Dorothy.

"Now that you've used Raffi's identity to cause so much trouble, how are you going to pay it back?"

Dorothy shrugged nonchalantly: "We'll see when the time comes. I can always repay you with my body."

Of course, saying something like "I'll repay you with my body" is definitely a joke.

Lafite was willing to let her do it, and she was also willing to take the corresponding risks.

As for the return, there is only one return that Raffi needs, and that is Dorothy herself.

Anna cautioned, "While your status as a princess is advantageous, you'll definitely attract the attention of other members of the royal family."

.

Dorothy nodded. "I know, everything needs to be done quickly."

Once other members of the royal family learn that Raffi has a trading company under his control, they will definitely inquire about Dorothy's existence.

If nothing unexpected happens, all they'll know is that Dorothy is a magician from the City of Apprentices.

If there are radicals, they might come to see her because of Lafite.

If there are any conflicts with Lafite, he might use his connections to get other merchants to distance themselves from Dorothy, thereby destroying Dorothy's merchant guild.

Dorothy has considered all sorts of aspects.

Therefore, Dorothy had to make money quickly, accumulating enough capital before others noticed her.

In that case, even if the worst-case scenario occurs and the Carter Chamber of Commerce cannot continue operating, Dorothy will have already earned enough money.

She can even use the money she earns to invest in other things later.

"Alas, it's a pity I don't have any help right now, Anna. Do you know where I can find someone who is both loyal and hardworking?"

Dorothy asked it casually.

After all, such people simply don't exist in reality.

However, after careful consideration, Anna actually gave Dorothy an answer.

"Loyal and hardworking people usually need to be nurtured from a young age. I know some knights under nobles who were discovered to have talent from a young age and then trained. They are very loyal to the nobles they serve."

Dorothy listened thoughtfully: "An orphan—"

This is indeed a very large group.

Dorothy thought of herself.

Her identity in Lauren Village was that of an orphan.

She didn't starve to death because Knight Laurent was kind and gave her a job.

There are quite a few people with backgrounds like Dorothy's.

After thinking for a moment, Dorothy asked, "Anna, do you know of any places that gather orphans together for adoption?"

Anna shook her head slightly: "I don't know. My understanding of the human world is basically hearsay and cramming over the past few months. If you're talking about places that specifically take in orphans, I really don't know if they exist. If they do, then probably only the Church of Holy Light would do that."

Dorothy nodded: "Looks like I'll have to ask around later."

Dorothy thought some lords might do the same, since population was the most important thing in a territory.

"Forget it, I'll stop thinking about these things for now. I don't plan to build any faction, and I don't even have my own territory, so why bother thinking about these things?"

"Come on, Anna, let's move on to the next business association."

The primary goal now is to make money.

For this reason, Dorothy temporarily put aside something as important as leveling up her skill proficiency.

If you don't raise enough money, you're losing money.

For others, the loss of time might be small, but for Dorothy it was a huge, real loss.

After all, Dorothy's time can truly be exchanged for a huge increase in strength.

During their conversation, the two arrived at the next chamber of commerce.

Dorothy gently patted her light blue dress, a warm, professional smile on her face, and walked straight to the entrance of the merchant guild. She spoke softly to the guard standing at the door, "Excuse me, sir, I am the president of the Carter Merchant Guild. Could you please go in and announce my arrival?"

The guard at the door looked down at Dorothy, paused for a moment, seemingly unable to believe that the little girl in front of him was actually the guild master. However, judging from Dorothy's demeanor and clothing, he figured she wasn't just a child causing trouble. He then gave another guard a look and went into the guild to report.

Dorothy didn't have to wait long before the guard came out, his expression quite interesting. He dryly invited Dorothy, "Please come in, President Carter. Our president has been waiting for a long time."

Dorothy lifted her skirt slightly and thanked the guard.

"Thank you, sir."

She then took Anna with her into the business guild.

At this moment, the guard who had just reported the news said to his companion, "I can't believe it! That child was actually the president of the Chamber of Commerce! And judging from his attitude, he seems to be of very high status. Could he be the child of some royal noble?"

His companion shook his head slightly.

"Who knows? No matter how noble their status is, it has nothing to do with us. Just stand guard properly."

""

That's true.
