"Actually, it's all very simple things. When your grandfather communicated with them and visited each other, I accompanied each other a few times, and after introducing each other, I got to know each other. After a few simple contacts, I met each other by chance, even if I was the only one myself, I would say hello to each other after meeting them, and a few simple chats. Some of the people within the race or power also knew me." Snape smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head, "From then, I found that when I negotiate trade with all parties, it would be surprising smoothly. As long as the price and supporting services I gave were the same as other merchants, in the end,

I must be among the people who can complete this transaction. In fact, it is easy to understand that for those forces, whether they buy or sell, they have to trade anyway. Since the conditions of each party are similar, why not leave it to me? Not only will there be no losses or harm, but it can also make the demigods on their own side feel better. So, you see, this is a manifestation of the influence of demigods. They often have no tendency, but their influence will penetrate into every corner of their respective forces. If they do not control it, it will be too easy to brand their own forces."

"Indeed, if it were me, I'm afraid I would think so too. No, it should be said that a similar choice is a matter of course. If as you said, the invisible influence of the demigods would be terrible." Catherine nodded in approval, imagining if Panis did not come forward, but had some private matters to ask for help from the elves, and without damaging the interests of the elves, would they agree easily to come without damaging the interests of the elves.

Yes. The knight girl secretly looked at the beautiful elf queen like a work of art. The respected Flar was looking at Panis screaming in the sky with unscrupulous smile. While laughing, she accompanied Panis's exclamation with the four-string zither, which actually matched the harsh screams into a beautiful melody. The knight girl wrinkled her nose and secretly grinned her teeth at Flar who was facing her back, muttering: "Hmph, you will definitely be troubled."

"What?" Marquis Snape asked in confusion: "What will be difficult?"

"No, no, no, nothing. Hahaha, nothing, it's all an illusion." Catherine stuck out her tongue mischievously, laughed dryly in a standard Penisian way of changing topics and said, "Ah, by the way, it turns out that this is how your business empire was originally established, and this is the first time I know it."

"Yes, I got the biggest return from my investment in your grandfather. The surprise he gave me increased my progress for at least twenty years, for at least twenty years." Snape said in a heavy tone: "From then on, my business has become bigger and my wealth has accumulated more and more. Haha, the larger the base of wealth, the easier it is to make money."

"But your investment in my grandfather eventually failed." Catherine said with a wry smile: "Although the surprise he brought to you greatly increased your wealth, as you said. It improved your progress for twenty years in a short time, but his subsequent mistakes also brought you back to the beginning in a short time. If my father said it was not wrong, you were in a bankruptcy crisis at that time, and even almost couldn't even save the property in your family at the beginning."

"Well, it's not an exaggeration to say that, but your family doesn't understand business at all, so they don't really understand my situation at that time." Snape shook his head and said, "Yes, I was almost on the verge of bankruptcy at that time, and almost all industries were sold to make up for the broken capital chain, but these actually did not make me completely desperate. For a successful businessman, the loss of funds is just a small matter, a real important thing. Not only did I not lose, but I still gain something."

"Is it a connection?" Catherine asked, thinking, "That's right, something like a connection will not be lost with the loss of funds, at least it will not be completely lost."

"Connects and reputation are the most precious wealth of a successful businessman." Snape explained: "Although your grandfather's experiment failed, he caused me great financial losses, he immediately sold a large amount of property to help me repay all the debts in time, thus protecting my business reputation. Most of the people who have worked with me will think that it is valuable to have the priority to repay debts rather than transferring funds to reduce losses.

It means that I am a business partner worthy of long-term cooperation. In other words, that bankruptcy crisis not only prevented my reputation from being damaged, but also improved a lot. As for the connections, although the loss of funds kept many business friends away, those were within the expected range and were not surprising. However, the connections your grandfather brought me not only did not leave me, but also gave me a lot of help in the moment of crisis. For example, elves and dwarves, their

I can advance the goods at will. Not only do I don’t need to pay the goods directly like before, but I don’t need to deliver any mortgage. As long as I take the goods, I pay the goods in time. The Winged Humans have further improved. Not only do they allow me to advance their alpine specialty tea and herbs, they will also help me pay for transportation in advance. Basically, as long as I find enough people to form a caravan, I can get a large amount of goods without any cost and make money from it.

To make profits. Of course, after the goods are sold, I will make up for the debt in time and pay full interest according to the market price. Everyone has maintained happy trust and cooperation until my economic situation improves, and they will resume the original normal trading method. Not only that, I later vaguely discovered that since that time, most of the demigods have changed their attitudes, and their relationship with me is no longer as unfamiliar as they were at the beginning. Not only has they become closer, but they are also respectful."

"Of course, this matter can fully demonstrate your trustworthiness and firm sense of responsibility. Those who can maintain good moral character in the most critical moments are enough to win the respect of most people." Catherine seemed a little surprised and said with a smile: "I think I understand what you meant to say to me today. Are you trying to tell me that in fact, the three generations of our family do not really owe you anything. Instead, you can achieve what you have today by relying on my grandfather."

"Yes, you never owe me." Snape sighed and said, "On the contrary, I owe your family two lives. If it weren't for your feeling that you owed me my debt, your grandfather and your father wouldn't have died so early, and you wouldn't have been like this now..."

"You are wrong, Grandpa Snape." Catherine straightened her waist and said seriously: "You are the ones who don't understand."
