[Chapter 407 Please Teach Me About Doing Business]

“Looking for me?” Robb deliberately lowered his voice and said old-fashionedly: “I don’t know you well, how can we chat?”

Hearing him claiming to be an old man, Marianne didn’t complain, but showed a face of admiration. : “You are the greatest businessman I have ever seen. You can turn everything into a miracle. My father often told me the story of how you cut the cake into eight and sixteen pieces, and also told me about the pre-collection of tap water. The story of the one-year fee and zero initial installation fee, as well as the advertising gameplay you taught my father, have benefited our Cotton family a lot…”

Robb: “…”

Marianne blushed: “I love you Incomparable admiration, I want to take you as a teacher like Robert, he learns style magic, and I learn business skills, okay?”

Robb: “…”

This is embarrassing, it’s not that Robb doesn’t want to teach people, he is interested When I was a student, I would teach the people around me all kinds of knowledge casually, but if I wanted him to be a teacher and teach people how to do business in a systematic way, it would be impossible. First, he didn’t have the mood, and second, he didn’t have the ability.

Being a teacher is a university question. There are many people in this world who are full of talents but can’t teach others. Besides, Robb doesn’t think he is very talented. He knows all kinds of messes borrowed from later generations. Business common sense.

Robb shook his head: “I don’t teach, I don’t teach! I’m not familiar with you, and you came to visit me for some reason. I haven’t brushed my teeth yet.”

Marianne said, “I will pay a very generous tuition fee.”

Robb continued to shake his head . : “I’m not short of money.”

Marianne felt very uncomfortable now, her little mouth pouted pitifully, and she turned to leave in aggrieved.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Robb felt a little sympathetic. After thinking about it, when I first went to the Magic Academy, this girl took care of herself quite a bit. She asked for money for money and materials for materials.

Is there anything you can teach her without much effort? At the same time, this thing can improve the world when it spreads!

“Ah! Got it!” Robb said suddenly: “Marian, I don’t have time to teach you business slowly, but it’s okay to lay the foundation for you. I want to ask, people in your family often need Do you want to do a large number of calculations?”

Hearing Robb’s greeting, Marianne turned her head in delight: “Yes, we often have to settle accounts.”

“So, what method do you use to calculate mathematics?”

Marianne spirited With a shake, he beckoned to the servant who was following behind, and the servant actually brought a set of strange tools and placed it on the table in front of Robb.

Robb looked closely. This thing was a large wooden board with several parallel lines drawn on it. There were also many counters like “chess pieces” on it. Each counter was made of copper, about two or three centimeters. A square circle with Arabic numerals from 0 to 9 marked on it.

Marian put these counters on the wooden board and smiled: “This is the threading abacus, and our Cotton family uses it to calculate accounts. It’s very fast.”

“Oh?” Robb was very interested and casually said For a simple math problem, I saw Marianne quickly arranging the calculator on the wooden board, and after a while, she calculated all the problems he gave.

She was a little proud: “Godfather, I’m pretty fast, right? My father has trained me to use the abacus since I was a child. My calculation speed is faster than my father! It’s the best in the Cotton family.”

Robb laughed . : “Yes, you are really fast, but you are still not as fast as me, you are optimistic.”

Robb stretched out his hand, took something from the air, and a piece of wood flew over.

As soon as he rubbed the wood, he rubbed the wood into a big Chinese-style abacus. It turns out that this is a “decoration” produced by the carpenter in the game “Dark Blade”. This abacus is used for pure decoration on the back.

When Robb was in college, he took a few abacus classes. Although he was not very good at using abacus, he would still do it.

He put the abacus in place and smiled: “You said you are the best in the Cotton family, so what’s the matter? I’ll make you the best in the entire Gran Kingdom.”

Marianne looked at the abacus with a bewildered face . “This is?”

“This is also an abacus.” Robb smiled: “Come on, report the bill, and I’ll show you the calculation.”

Marianne looked puzzled and looked at a string of beads, not sure what it meant , but of course there is no problem in reporting the bill, she just rushed into and out of the account, spending X gold coins for purchases, and earning X gold coins for shipping…

Robb listened to her counting, and fiddled with the abacus beads in his hands. He fortunately didn’t forget the abacus lessons he took in college, but he barely kept up. If he couldn’t keep up, he would pretend to fail. . Fortunately, the liver emperor is the liver emperor. The first few abacus lessons were also obtained from the liver. It is not very skilled, but it is enough to abuse the Western “threading abacus”.

Marianne finished reporting the bills, and Robb just finished it. He closed his hands and pretended to be calm and said: “The answer is that the final balance is 1032 gold coins, right?”

“So soon?” Mary An was taken aback: “I just finished the question, you are finished?”

Robb smiled and shook the abacus in his hand, and the abacus beads made a clattering sound: “This is the power of my abacus, other things I I’m too lazy to teach, but I’ll teach you the technique of using this abacus, which is also a part of doing business.”

Marianne looked at the abacus in Robb’s hand and at her own threading abacus. He hurriedly threw his threading abacus into the distance, and then saluted: “Thank you Godfather.”

“Come here, sit down.” Robb asked her to sit across from his stone table, put the abacus in place, and explained with a smile Get up: “The bottom bead means 1, the top bead means 5, one on one, two on two, three on three, five on four…”

Abacus is easy to understand, you can teach it once, and then recite it. Oral decision and practice questions.

Marianne has a certain talent in mathematics, and has been dealing with numbers all year round. Such a person can learn the abacus extremely fast. It only took a little while, and she was very fast in basic addition.

I saw her pulling the abacus beads to the sound of clattering, and she said cheerfully: “This abacus is so powerful! It’s so convenient, it’s really amazing, with this thing, I really have the confidence to become a Granny. The person who settles accounts fastest in the kingdom.”

“Well, if you like it.”

As soon as Robb finished saying this, the crystal ball on the table lit up, and it was time for Her Majesty to chat with him on the phone.

Robb didn’t tell Marianne to avoid him, so he asked her to pull the abacus bead next to her and pick up the phone.
