Chapter 126 Transaction Master
Arion scratched his head, confused.
How could a first-year student who just escaped from a magic school have anything valuable?
"Could it be a magic wand..."
Thinking of this, Arion laughed secretly in his heart.
Students in magic schools often have this misunderstanding.
Last year a third year student also tried to escape and sell his wand, but failed.
In fact, the basic wands issued by magic schools are not worth much.
"This is the IOU that the nobles of the empire owe me." Ruan Xiaozhe said as he took out a notebook.
"Oh my God..." Arion's jaw almost dropped to the table.
Is this crazy...?!?
"Originally, I was planning to take these IOUs to those families to collect the debts, but damn, the principal moved the bases of those families near the college to other places."
"Yes, yes, things like this... are indeed valuable."
Arien's eyes lit up. This account book was indistinguishable from cash!
And it’s not just about cash!
If you take these IOUs to those families, the other party will definitely be very grateful, because nobles attach great importance to honor and credibility, and this way you can gain the other party's favor without knowing it!
"but……"
Although he was very excited, Arien remained rational.
"It is enough for you to see these IOUs, and I will lend you the money."
"Then these IOUs..."
"No, Master, just keep it."
"..."
Hearing Arien's words, Ruan Xiaozhe's expression seemed to say "Is this businessman new to the business?"
Normally, when borrowing money, the collateral should be kept by the lender, not the borrower.
Arien saw the other person's expression and felt a little aggrieved: "I am showing my trust in you..."
The reason why Arion did not covet those IOUs was simple - they were equivalent to agreements between the Vodanazi family and other noble families.
If the young master of the Vodana family takes these IOUs to visit other families in the future, the other party will definitely be very grateful because this maintains the honor of the nobility.
On the other hand, if Arian took these IOUs to other noble families, he would also gain benefits, but the Vodanazi family might not be happy.
"Did this merchant deceive the ignorant Vodanaz and get these IOUs?" - The nobles will definitely think so of Arion at that time.
Arien would rather suffer a small loss than cause misunderstanding among the nobles by deceiving the young master.
Even if this practice makes people wonder "Is this businessman new to the business?"
"Master, please think about it. Since you are a descendant of the Vodanazi family, what is the point of me taking these IOUs? You will always pay back the money anyway."
"That's right, but it would be better for you to keep it..."
"...Would you like me to show you around? You may need a lot of things."
Arien decided to change the subject.
He knew exactly what the students who had just escaped from school needed, so his attempt to change the subject worked immediately.
Ruan Xiaozhe nodded upon hearing this.
"Then I'll leave it to you. However, you won't take me to the store under the Chamber of Commerce, right? I don't have the money to buy it..."
“…No way!”
Arien began to doubt whether the young man in front of him was a descendant of the Vodanaz family or the Chamber of Commerce.
Because children of aristocratic family usually have an innocent temperament, but Ruan Xiaozhe has none of that at all.
"what?"
When Ruan Xiaozhe walked out of the room first, Arien, who was following him, noticed that the snacks he had just taken out were gone.
"Has he finished eating? That's strange, he didn't even touch anything just now..."
Arion shook his head in confusion, then inadvertently noticed that the pockets of Ruan Xiaozhe's cloak were bulging.
"... Could it be... Well, that shouldn't be the case..." Arien said with a wry smile.
……
"How about this puff? This is a dessert made by the most famous chef in our village. The thin shell is full of cream. Even the nobles are full of praise..."
"Do you have any recommendations for something that's easy to store and small in size?" Ruan Xiaozhe interrupted Arion.
"Well……"
At this moment, Ruan Xiaozhe's behavior was just like an empire's supply officer purchasing supplies.
He didn't care for foods that were bulky, fragile, and easily spoiled, no matter how delicious they were.
He only seeks maximum compression and most efficient utilization.
"Look at this can..." Arion said, picking up a box of cans.
"This is a can that's very popular in the Empire State recently. It's a beautiful design, isn't it?" he said like a good salesman.
"You're pretending to be dissatisfied like this!" Ruan Xiaozhe shook his head.
"..."
Ruan Xiaozhe didn't hesitate for even a second and swept the cans aside.
This left Arien stunned.
…Should we wait until he graduates from magic school and then persuade him to work at the Chamber of Commerce?
No matter how you look at it, he is a natural born businessman...
……
Ruan Xiaozhe carefully selected various foods. He not only calculated the volume and weight himself, but also picked the boxes to pack the food himself.
"Master, wait a minute, you can't bring the carriage into the school, or Principal Os will punish us."
"I know, I will take it back myself." Ruan Xiaozhe said confidently.
“……???!!”
After hearing this, not only Arien, but other employees were also stunned, with an expression of "Should we persuade the manager?" written on their faces at the same time.
"No, he must have his own plans." Arion remained calm.
Now, he has faced the reality.
This young master of the Vodana family not only has the talent of a businessman, but also possesses outstanding wisdom!
He must have some ideas! He won't harm himself!
"Then let's go find a tailor to make you some new clothes."
"Huh?" Ruan Xiaozhe showed a puzzled expression.
"Uh... don't you feel uncomfortable in that outfit?"
The uniforms of the magic academy looked hard and rough, even the employees noticed.
But Ruan Xiaozhe seemed not to care.
"I don't think so."
"!?" Everyone was stunned.
"Of course, it would be nice to have some new clothes..." Ruan Xiaozhe added.
His words made Arien feel relieved.
Fortunately, he still needs new clothes!
"Then let's go to the cloth shop instead of looking for a tailor." Ruan Xiaozhe said.
"…Are you planning to do it yourself?"
"Yes."
"Forehead……"
When Ruan Xiaozhe walked into the fabric shop, he only picked out thick and durable fabrics, which made Arien feel dizzy.
Obviously, something special must have happened among the freshmen of this magic academy.
Maybe these freshmen have a very, very miserable life...
"Why is this fabric so cheap?" Ruan Xiaozhe asked in confusion as he looked at the price of the fabric.
"Because the pattern is outdated..." Adeen explained.
"Then just give me outdated fabrics... Which one is more resistant to water, this one or this one?"
After the food store, Ruan Xiaozhe also demonstrated amazing business acumen in the cloth shop.
He carefully selected from countless fabrics, and even the cloth shop owner and Chamber of Commerce manager Arien had to admit that the young man from the Vodana family was the real controller of this transaction! !
