The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 22 Foreign Chamber of Commerce
Aarons doesn't know much about other countries.
Since Poor Man was not valued at home, the Marquis had never taught him knowledge about the territory. Even though he had learned some from psychic programs and rumors from outsiders, it was only the tip of the iceberg.
Now he only knew that the two countries bordering the Marquisate would often send caravans here to trade with the Empire or another party.
"You... you probably don't know much about the neighboring countries."
Karin and Xia Ye are both strangers who drifted here from other places, and they probably don’t know much about the Marquisate.
"Master, do you need us to help you get this information?"
"No need, I just think I should find a chance to catch up on my studies."
This matter is different from other things, Aarons must do it himself.
Only by understanding how the territory usually operates stably can Aarons find the key point for entry - and this is his only chance to turn the tables.
"Master Aarons, if you and your attendants are ready, please follow me into the car."
After Aarons put the armor back home, the crowd of onlookers quickly dispersed. However, when he walked out again with two alien attendants, he immediately saw the large animal-carrying cart parked in front of the Marquis's mansion.
"You actually sent a car to pick me up. That's quite considerate of you."
"You are the son of a marquis. How dare we, a small chamber of commerce, neglect the nobles of the empire?"
"Heh, let's go then."
Aarons knew that this was a test from the other party.
Anyone who stayed in the city for a day or two would have heard that the Marquis was dead. If they heard some exaggerated descriptions, they would have known that Aarons, the only surviving eldest son of the Marquis, was an incompetent waste.
The other party, knowing this information, still sent a car to pick up the worthless Aarons. I'm afraid they just wanted to take the opportunity to find out what cards the Marquis's family has now.
Although he was not very good at playing cards, Aarons also knew some bluffing techniques - this was where his experience from his previous life could come in handy.
"Oh, I can't feel any vibration at all. Did you use some kind of magic?"
"Sir, do you know something about magic? The wheels of this car are indeed attached with earth magic, which can absorb most of the vibrations."
Aarons could easily guess that this was related to magic. After all, the wheels were made of pure wood and the road was not very flat. If there was no magic to dampen the shock, it would have shaken people to pieces.
"I learned a little bit when I was in school, but unfortunately I'm not cut out to be a magician."
Because of his poor talent, Aarons actually only had a vague understanding of magic and fighting spirit. After all, it was useless for him to learn these things, and it would only be a waste of time.
Even if he managed to master the fighting spirit and reached the second level, it would only slightly improve his physical fitness.
"Haha, you are so modest, sir. Most people in this world enjoy the convenience of magic, but not many are willing to learn theoretical knowledge."
After Aarons and the merchant chatted for a while, the animal cart finally arrived at its destination and slowly stopped.
"This is the temporary residence our Chamber of Commerce has rented. Our president is waiting for you inside."
"Oh, it turns out you are not the one who wants to discuss business with me. Seeing your elegant temperament and extraordinary conversation, I thought you were the leader of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh, how dare I accept this. Please come in, the three of you."
After subtly complimenting the other party, Aarons and his two alien attendants walked into a slightly plain three-story building on the street.
Because this is a place for the chambers of commerce to stop and rest, the interior decoration is much more gorgeous than the exterior. However, there are only a few merchants in the hall counting their goods, and it doesn't seem to be very lively.
Aarons, led by the merchant, walked through the hall and turned several corners in the aisle before finally arriving at his final destination.
"It's right here. Please wait a moment... President, I've brought the son of the Marquis family with me."
"—Please come in."
Although Aarons had a fleeting fantasy that the president of the Chamber of Commerce was a beautiful female CEO, after entering the room, he was disappointed to find that the president was just an ordinary man with average looks and a bloated body.
"Oh, you must be Lord Aarons, the eldest son of Marquis Moti, right? I have heard about you before, and today I am fortunate to meet you and find that you are indeed a noble man with extraordinary temperament."
"Forget about that. I know my own limitations."
"Haha, you are too modest, sir. We are the Sulin Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Cardia. It is an honor to meet you."
The businessman who had brought Aarons here earlier had quietly retreated to one side of the room, while Aarons sat down opposite the president without any hesitation.
At this time, two strange beauties stood behind him, one on the left and one on the right, making him look like an incompetent playboy who was addicted to fun all day long.
"Tell me, what business do you want to discuss with me?"
"Hahaha, don't be impatient, young master. How about trying the tea our Chamber of Commerce brought from the Kingdom of Cardia?"
This world does have drinks similar to tea or coffee, but Aarons doesn't know whether the taste of these things is similar to those in his previous life.
A young girl dressed as a waitress quickly brought a white pot, and the president first poured some into his own cup, then drank it all without hesitation before starting to pour tea for Aarons.
——This action is to prove to Aarons that there is no hidden danger in the tea.
"This young master doesn't understand this, and I don't know what the standard is for good or bad. But since you've poured it for me, it probably wouldn't be appropriate not to drink it."
After deliberately expressing his thoughts in an exaggerated tone, Aarons picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip of the tea from this other world.
It's probably the taste of black tea.
"Sir, you are so modest. As a noble, you should have higher taste than the rest of us."
This is purely ironic.
Aarons had dealt with such businessmen in his previous life. Every word these people said was actually to create negotiating advantages for themselves.
"I don't like beating around the bush, so Mr. President, just tell me what kind of business your Chamber of Commerce plans to do with the Marquis' family."
"Then I will dare to ask you a question first--"
Seeing Aarons' incompetent appearance with no business experience, the slightly wealthy president suddenly revealed a weird smile.
"First, can you please tell me how much these two alien attendants of yours are worth?"
