Chapter 142 The Plan to Make Money
"Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-seven — two thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight — two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine — three thousand!"
Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief as the last gold coin was placed down.
An ordinary long dress was sold for three thousand gold coins.
Angel gripped the edge of the table with both hands, her eyes wide as she stared intently at the stacks of gold coins.
She had never seen so many gold coins in her life.
"Gulp~ So many gold coins! Is this really the price my clothes can fetch?" Angel swallowed hard, still somewhat incredulous.
She felt as if she were dreaming.
I never knew my clothes were worth so much!
Dorothy picked up the coin and tossed it in front of Angel, who immediately reached out and caught it.
"Wow, those are real gold coins!"
Angel recalled that the most expensive magic robe she had ever made had only sold for 150 gold coins.
Moreover, it took her nearly three months to make that magic robe, which was enchanted with two spells. It can be said that it took her a lot of time and effort to make it.
If someone had told her before that she could sell a very ordinary long dress for three thousand gold coins without any enchantment, and even if it was made in a rush, Angel would have thought that either she was crazy or the other person was crazy.
But now the facts are clear.
"Gulp—" Angel swallowed hard and knelt down in front of Dorothy.
"Miss Dorothy, I will definitely obey your every word from now on!"
"In that case, let's sign this indenture, or rather, this contract, first."
Dorothy took out the magic contract she had prepared beforehand.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely get all the benefits and perks. I'm a great boss."
Dorothy held the magic contract in her left hand and patted Angel's shoulder with her right, reassuring her that she would never betray her.
Angel looked up and couldn't help but twitch her lips as she recalled the scene of Dorothy locking herself in the dark room a couple of days ago to rush to make clothes.
But for some reason, this feeling of being forced and exploited actually gave Angel a strange kind of pleasure.
In particular, he found himself unable to muster any resistance when facing a young child like Dorothy.
What a humiliation!
"So? Will you sign or not?" Dorothy bent down and showed the magic contract directly to Angel.
Angel glanced at the contents of the magic contract; if she signed it, she would lose her freedom.
Her lips trembled slightly.
"I, I————"
The thought of being dominated by Dorothy for the rest of my life...
This feeling doesn't seem so bad.
"I'll sign!"
Angel's face flushed with excitement, and the expression in her eyes was hard to tell whether it was determination or excitement.
But her mind was definitely not working properly at that moment.
Dorothy's eyes twitched as she looked at Angel's excited expression; she wondered if she had mistaken her for someone else.
Is it too late to find a new fashion designer right now?
Looking at Angel, who had already signed the magic contract, Dorothy felt a slight pang of regret.
But now that we're on the train, there's no way to jump off.
Angel's reputation had already spread among those noble ladies.
The fairytale-themed long dresses will definitely continue to be produced, but they can't be released so quickly.
After all, this thing is valued for its rarity and preciousness.
Next, they will use Angel's reputation, which has spread among those noble ladies, to trade with other caravans and start making clothes of a lower grade.
Those businessmen are very well-informed, and with Lafite deliberately spreading information about the tea party, people are bound to become interested in the mysterious fashion designer.
That alone is enough to get them to cooperate with Dorothy.
Furthermore, Lafite will be a backer of their chamber of commerce.
With a member of the royal family as a guarantor, merchants would be more willing to cooperate with Dorothy.
The workers and various materials that Dorothy had previously worried about could all be provided by those merchants.
Because Dorothy can help them make money.
However, Dorothy also knew that this was only the first step, because right now she only had a fashion designer named Angel, and nothing else.
If anything unexpected happens along the way, this trade route will be completely cut off.
Therefore, Dorothy needs to quickly absorb the gold coins from other merchants in the shortest possible time and then rapidly establish her own caravan.
Moreover, Dorothy had a second plan.
She dreamed of being a plagiarist.
It just so happens that Raffi had been very interested in that story from the fairy tale princess series, and Dorothy is preparing to write it out in its entirety to see if she can make some money from it.
Moreover, she has a lot of good stories in her head, such as Dragon Ball, Pirate King, and the like.
Although Dorothy isn't very good at drawing, she can find someone who is.
The only problem is that books are a bit expensive for ordinary people, and they won't waste their precious money on such entertainment.
Therefore, whether it's a storybook or a comic book, it can only be sold to the aristocratic class if it's to be circulated.
"Anyway, my current goal isn't to achieve high volume with low profit margins; the products I'm selling are luxury goods anyway."
Dorothy is very clear about the positioning of what she is selling now; it is not a mass-market product.
The only problem now is that the winter festival holiday is coming to an end, and Princess Raffi will have to go back to school.
Moreover, both Elor and Lyons have their own jobs to do.
It's fair to say that Dorothy had to handle everything from then on on her own.
After Angel signed the magic contract, Dorothy sent her out to buy the various tools and materials needed later.
Winter festival holidays typically last from November to February.
The start of the school year in the City of Apprentices is around this time as well.
At this stage, many young apprentices have already begun learning meditation, just like Dorothy did last year.
The advanced apprentices also returned to continue their studies, hoping to become magicians as soon as possible.
Dorothy is currently very free.
Normally, after she completes the verification of her magical experiment, the City of Apprentices would come looking for Dorothy and ask if she had any intention of staying in the City of Apprentices.
The problem is that Dorothy hasn't made a big fuss about becoming a wizard, and Gareth is deliberately ignoring her existence.
In Gareth's view, it was not important whether Dorothy was verified as a formal wizard.
The witch race cannot be judged by common sense.
Moreover, in Gareth's eyes, Dorothy was someone equal to or even stronger than himself.
It's enough for such beings to remain in the City of Apprentices.
So he didn't care at all what Dorothy was doing.
For various reasons, Dorothy now has the time to launch her business plans.
As for the other suspect, Anna, this elf lady is out of the question.
Dorothy could only regard her as a good-looking bodyguard.
Now, accompanied by the bodyguard loli, she headed to the Merchant Guild.
