The city of Antika, Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce.

Celina sat in her office, with several contracts spread out before her.

According to the agreement, the development of The city of Antika's new district was entrusted to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber immediately mobilized all available resources that could be mobilized for the task.

However, even so, the expenses required were still substantial.

Fortunately, they received financial assistance from the Duke's treasury, which allowed the development project of the new district to proceed smoothly.

At this moment, Lorenzo walked in from outside.

"Celina, as per your instructions, we have established communication stations in all major cities within the Duke's territory."

"Good." Celina nodded. "Well done."

"Lorenzo, even though we have hired low-level magicians, their fees are not cheap. I wonder why you want to establish communication stations..."

"Lorenzo, I have to doubt whether you actually started doing business with my father." Celina looked at Lorenzo and questioned.

"I apologize, Miss Celina. Forgive my ignorance. Please enlighten me."

"Lorenzo, what do we value the most in our business?" Celina said, gesturing as she spoke. "Is it money? Relationships? Intelligence?"

Then, she shook her head.

"None of these."

"What we value the most in our business is information."

After saying that, Lorenzo seemed to have realized something.

"Miss, are you suggesting...?"

"Yes, even though most of them are only first or second-level magicians, they can already use magic doves to quickly transmit information."

"Similar to how we conduct trade between cities and exchange information on commodity values. It may take three to four days for short distances and up to ten days or even longer for longer distances."

Then, Celina pointed to the map behind her.

"We all know that in general, the longer the trade route, the greater the profits, but at the same time, the greater the risks."

"These risks are not only due to the unstable safety on the road but also the uncertainty of information."

"For example, we sell ceramics. One month ago, the price of ceramics in The city of Antika soared to three gold coins. In the past month, cities with available inventory gradually received the news, and merchants rushed in groups."

"At this time, the earlier the merchants received the information and arrived, the greater the benefits they obtained. On the contrary, latecomers may face oversupply and lower prices, or even losses."

"In this process, apart from transportation speed, information is the most important. Information that arrives one day ahead of others can create value exceeding tens of thousands of gold coins."

"And the magical doves that can act as advanced carriers of information only require first-level magicians to use. The higher the magicians' levels, the only difference is the range of transmission, not the flight speed."

"Compared to taking dangerous or low-paying and unstable jobs at the Adventurer's Guild, working for our Chamber of Commerce not only provides decent salaries but also allows one to continue their studies without giving up their dreams."

"And with the spread of information, we can grasp first-hand commercial information and quickly strike, seizing the maximum profit before other chambers of commerce. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

"Celina, you..." After listening to Celina's explanation, Lorenzo was in awe of this young girl in front of him.

"Lorenzo, as they say, a good bird chooses its tree. In our family, who is superior and who is inferior, I believe your keen eye will be able to tell who can help you reach higher in the future." Celina said while standing up, pouring a cup of tea for Lorenzo.

"Miss..." Lorenzo was stunned. This eighteen-year-old girl in front of him didn't seem like an inexperienced novice at all; she clearly had the demeanor of a future leader.

"Alright, Lorenzo, I'm sure you have other matters to attend to. Make sure to handle the construction of the new district well. This is our pledge to the Duke, and it must be completed perfectly.""Understood." Lorenzo nodded and then finished the red tea in his cup before walking towards the door.

"Isn't it hot...?" Celina whispered as she watched Lorenzo close the door.

After all, this was freshly brewed red tea. Drinking it like that, he must be a tough person.

...

On the night she received the notebook from Osen, Celina started reading the contents.

It contained Osen's own insights on the economic development of a parallel world and specific measures for reforming the guild.

After seeing Osen's new method of obtaining information asymmetry, Celina was stunned.

Indeed, in the field of business, there had been no new theories for hundreds of years. Everyone competed for wealth, relationships, and sometimes even resorted to dark methods in order to obtain information asymmetry.

Commonly known as internal competition.

After all, no one would have thought of using rare magicians as messengers, like telegraph operators.

And this innovative idea proposed by Osen, Celina knew that its long-term economic benefits far exceeded the profits from constructing The City of Antika's new district.

So, what Osen meant by defeating her older brother was truly about defeating him in business.

Indeed, although the Prussia and Aragon regions were prosperous, the Silver Moon Guild's operations in both areas could only be considered average. If Celina could expand her business in the Antika region to its fullest potential, it was not impossible to reach the top.

After that, everything progressed orderly according to Celina's expectations. With the recruitment of communication magicians in each city in the Antika region, the Silver Moon Guild's speed and level of obtaining commercial intelligence in the region would reach unprecedented heights.

Celina sat back at her seat and, after handling this batch of accounts, took out Osen's notebook again.

Now, she regarded this book as a treasure and always kept it with her.

Of course, due to her busy schedule, she hadn't finished reading it.

Today, she was planning to finish reading the last few pages of the notebook.

After that, she opened the notebook and went to the page where she had left off.

A few minutes later, she looked at the last page of the notebook.

There was a sentence left by Osen.

【If after reading all this, it allows you to understand the market's rules, would you choose to become the one who regulates the market or embody the market?】

Celina pondered upon seeing this question.

After a long time, she stood up and then quickly walked out of the guild.

Looking at her assistant, she said anxiously, "Get a carriage ready for me. I'm going to the Duke's mansion."
