Chapter 407: Please teach me how to do business
"Me?" Robb deliberately lowered his voice and said in an arrogant tone, "Your husband and you aren’t that familiar with each other. Do you have anything to talk about with me?"
Hearing that he called himself her "husband", Marian didn't say anything. Instead, she showed an admiring face. "You are the greatest businessman I've ever seen. You can make everything powerful and miraculous. My father often tells me the story that you told him you can cut cake into eight pieces and sixteen pieces to sell, and also tells me the story that you charge a year in advance for running water, and the advertising game you taught my father, all of which benefited our family a lot..."
Robb was speechless
Marian blushed and said, "I adore you so much. I want you to be my teacher like Robb. He’ll study wind magic and I'll learn business skills. Is that okay?"
Robb was speechless
It was very embarrassing. Robb was willing to teach people. When he was interested, he would teach people around him all kinds of knowledge. But if he wanted to be a teacher and teach them how to do business in a systematic way, it would be impossible. On one hand, he was not in the mood, and on the other hand, he didn't have the ability to do that.
Marian felt very sad now. She pouted pitifully, turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing her pitiful look, Robb felt a little sorry for her. [when I first went to the magic school, this girl took good care of me. She asked for money and materials. She helped me a lot, so I have to take care of her,] he thought.
What could he teach her without effort? At the same time, if this news spread, it would improve the world!
"Ah!" Robb suddenly said, "Marian, I don't have time to teach you how to do business, but it's okay to lay a foundation for you. I want to ask you, your family often needs to calculate the number of guests, right?"
"Then, how do you calculate the math?"
Marian cheered up and waved at the servant who followed her. The servant brought a strange set of tools and placed them on the table in front of Robb.
Robb took a closer look and found that it was a large board with several parallel lines drawn on it. There were also many "boxes" like a "chessboard" on it. Each of them was made of copper with a diameter of about two or three centimeters. The numbers of 0 to 9 were marked on it.
Marian said with a smile, "this is a threaded abacus. Our family uses it to settle accounts. It's very fast."
"Oh?" Robb was very interested and came up with a simple math problem. Seeing that Marian was quickly setting up the board, he quickly thought of one.
With a smug smile, she said, "Godfather, I'm not bad at calculations. My father has trained me to use the threaded abacus since I was a child. My calculation speed is faster than my father's. I'm the best in the Corton family."
Robb smiled and said, "yes, you're right. It's really fast, but it's still not as fast as I am. Look at it."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
