Claire didn't tell anyone about the mermaid, he just told Sophia about his plan to open a store in Nafu City.
Shane also acted as a wingman at the right time and said, "I have already opened a tavern and hotel in Nafu City, and now I plan to open another tailor shop."
Claire secretly gave a thumbs up to Shane.
Count Lamb looked a little surprised after hearing this. His mind was spinning rapidly. He had some understanding of Nafu City's information. It was just getting started. Is it necessary for Lady Sophia to open two such stores there? And it's still at the border of such a remote kingdom.
Lamb hesitated for less than a few seconds before making a decisive decision. "Actually, I have always wanted to cooperate with you Viscount Claire, but there was no chance..." Although he didn't understand why Sophia wanted to open a store in Nafu City, it did not affect him in the slightest. He did not know Nafu City well enough, but he understood Sophia! If there wasn't an opportunity to make money, she would never go there even if her father asked her to open a store. And Ansier Family seems to have also participated. Two of the three magic giants have participated. In this situation, you know how to choose even if you close your eyes.
Since the other party was talking about this, Claire naturally knew how to pick up the conversation.
"I have always hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate with the Lixis Merchant Guild. It just so happens that my city wants to add some stores. I wonder if Count Lamb is interested?"
"Of course that's good!" Count Lamb replied happily. Lixis Merchant Guild is not only an expert in mining, but is also involved in other businesses.
"Okay." Claire smiled on his face, "Let the people below talk about the rest."
"I will ask Moulton to discuss cooperation matters when I get back."
As they spoke, the two raised their wine glasses and touched each other, with happy smiles on their faces.
After chatting for a while, Count Lamb found an excuse and left. After Count Lamb left, a short while later, before Claire took the initiative to go to the people from the major chambers of commerce to discuss, people gradually came forward to get acquainted with him for various reasons.
Claire then understood that Sophia's action before entering the door turned out to be more than just taking advantage of himself.
Emmm, the image of the other party in my heart seems to have improved a little bit. At least he knows how to give back to himself after taking so much advantage of him before.
Later business negotiations were easier. Claire directly treated Sophia like a tiger. When those people heard that Sophia, Ansier Family's young master, and Lixis Merchant Guild's Count Lamb were all joining the company, they directly reached an intention to cooperate with Claire without even thinking.
Again, even if they don't believe in their own judgment, they will believe in the decisions made by Sophia and Ansier Family.
Although they are considered to be top nobles, there is still a slight gap between them and Sophia. At least these two people are one of the few people closest to the royal power. Sometimes they can get information they don't know. Anyway, they just follow the other party. Even if they can't eat meat, they can still drink some soup.
"Things are going very smoothly." Claire said while lying on the sofa.
In less than an hour, he had already met with most of the nobles present. Nafu City's problem of lack of consumer goods in the West District had also been solved, and it was even better than he imagined.
"No, with Lady Sophia telling you everything, these people will feel safe boarding your pirate ship."
"What is a pirate ship? This is the bright road to wealth." Claire grabbed Shane's neck and pulled him over.
"I haven't asked you yet, what happened to that dress?"
"What clothes?"
"It's the dress given to Madam Sophia..." Claire blurted out, but halfway through the sentence, she remembered that this was a banquet scene, and then added the word "Madam" at the end.
"Is there something wrong? Are they all designed according to your requirements?"
"It's fabric! Why did she say the fabric is very good?" Claire is still a little at a loss. He doesn't know if Sophia said that at that time to be a sarcastic comment on him or what he meant.
"Oh, this." Shane slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to tell you. After the tailor master saw your design, he threw the fabric I brought on the ground and stepped on it. He said that such a fabric was not worthy of such a design, and then used the best fabric. Because he didn't take the money, so I didn't tell you."
"Confiscated money?" Claire grasped the point. He had money, but the province should spend more money. He felt bad for spending more money on gifts to Sophia.
"Yes, no money will be taken."
"Then it'll be fine."
"By the way, that master wants to meet you." Shane mentioned.
"Let's talk about it when I have time."
"Then when are you free?"
"I'm free when I'm free."
Shane: "..."
"You might as well just say no."
"That's what you said, I didn't say that." After a while, Claire said again, "Whenever I design new clothes, you can help me bring them to him."
It is impossible to accept someone else's affection without any reason.
After a while, Shane suddenly said, "It's almost time."
"What point?"
Shane looked back in confusion, "Have you forgotten who this banquet is for?"
Claire was stunned, "King His Majesty's Little Princess's sixteenth birthday?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his pupils shrank, and he remembered that he was coming to discuss business, so he didn't take it to heart at all.
Then he asked slightly nervously, "Are you preparing a gift for Little Princess?"
Shane looked even more surprised and asked, "Aren't you prepared?!"
"Pa!" Claire slapped himself in the face. Damn it, he really wanted to prepare a gift. Can he go to Sophia and get that Qipao back now?
"It's okay, it's okay!" Claire waved his hand and began to recall in his mind what else he could use in his Spatial Ring.
Shane also became nervous and began to rummage through the contents of his Spatial Ring, but the treasures he transported were all placed in another Spatial Ring specially used for transportation. He didn't bring them with him at all this time. His current Spatial Ring contained some personal belongings. Although there were some luxuries, he couldn't get rid of them.
"How about I go find my father and ask him if he has any extra treasures." Shane said.
Claire is still rummaging through Spatial Ring. Would you like to send Snow Salt as a gift? No, this is just an ordinary household item for people, and the price is only 1,000 yuan Gold Coins, which is impossible to get.
The value of the few Magic Scroll I brought is indeed worthy, but how can I give Magic Scroll as a gift?
If you really can't give it away, give Magic Handgun away. Although I'm a little reluctant to part with it, I can ask Teklin to help make another one when I go back. But it seems that it's not good to give Magic Weapon to a little girl.
"Have you figured it out?" Shane was already sweating profusely for Claire, even more nervous than Claire himself.
"Don't panic. The problem is huge. It's useless to panic." Claire calmed himself down and scanned Spatial Ring again.
"Have you found a solution?"
Claire After his mind calmed down, his thoughts gradually became clearer and he replied, "I have some clues. I should be fine if I make full use of my advantages."
"What advantage?"
"Telling stories..."
