Chapter 20 Business

While seeing the purple-haired contestant, Alibaba then asked the competition announcer near their seats to come to his location. When the announcer saw Alibaba, who was the third prince asking him to approach him seemingly to ask a question, the Announcer quickly went to be Alibaba was as he thought that he shouldn't offend Royalty even if from the rumours he heard that the third Prince was pretty friendly even to commoners like himself.

The male announcer said while bowing towards Alibaba, "Your Third Prince, How may I help you? Do you have anything you want me to do anything, third Prince?" Alibaba then said, "Can you raise your head now because it's making me uncomfortable? And I had called you here just because I want to ask sometime about that contestant over there."

As Alibaba said this, he pointed out the Purple-haired youth. When the announcer saw the person that Alibaba pointed out, he just nodded at Alibaba. He started to look at the book he was holding earlier, which contained the info about the contestants who entered this competition.

In recent months Alibaba seeing that the technologies in this world were significantly lower than Alma Torran, where he lived back then, and comparing the current technology of this world and the mysterious knowledge he got when he started to regain his memories as Solomon was like comparing a children's drawing to a professional Artist's Drawing.

When Alibaba had been Reborn with his past life's memories as he grew older these last two years, some knowledge about various magic tools and other types of technologies which seems to be powered by other stuff than magic, which some of them were, coal the sunlight, etc.

So due to this knowledge, Alibaba started to slowly introduce his father to these technologies, which he said were his own ideas, when King Rashid and the council members heard of Alibaba's Ideas for various technologies. Everyone was very skeptical at this, especially of making something that has the same function as magic tools. Even King Rashid, who always believes in his son's ideas, said to Alibaba,

"Son, although we know you're a genius in many categories, I don't think your ideas are possible and what is a fossil fuel. Anyway, couldn't we use lightning magic for this thing you call a car, which honestly looks like a waste of metals and manual labour? And this phone to although the idea is great of talking with another person from far away from each other without magic, but what is this signal."

After being told of this, Alibaba realized something as ideas suddenly started flooding in his mind due to his immense intellect and wisdom due to Solomon's past life memories. Alibaba was smart enough to see through the disadvantage and advantages of the ideas it got from reborn.

After this, in his mind, Alibaba started forming new ways to improve the technologies and magic tools he had gotten. So after being told over by his Father and Council members, Alibaba then, due to his quick thinking, decided to temporarily halt his ideas for advanced technologies and magic tools for now and then said to Rashid,

"I apologized for the flawed ideas, father, as I seemed to have just gotten inspired by some things due to my dreams lately; however, father, I still think some of the ideas I have proposed today have potential, so after this, I'll improve my designs over them until it would be satisfactory enough for everyone her until everyone thinks my ideas would be satisfactory."

"However, Father and the council, aside from my proposal on these devices and magic tools, I have also since there are relatively few ways of entertainment in our kingdom or every kingdom to be exact. So I had developed some ways for our Kingdoms another way of entertainment aside from Combat, Music, and Literature."

Then as Alibaba said this, he brought out a wooden box that he brought with him when he entered the council room earlier, and inside the wooden box were parchments filled with designs of various games. Alibaba then said after seeing the confused expressions of everyone in the room after they saw the parchments.

"Father, this is some ways of entertainment I have thought up with to entertain both Nobles in their own home without even standing up." So after explaining the details about the parchments, he showed them to everyone in the group. You can play various ways, especially with the card games that Alibaba showed, which interested most Nobles. Most of them rarely have any other entertainment source, aside from orchestra duels amongst magicians, warriors, and some books.

It was recently unlike the normal types of books before, which commonly talked about history and academics commonly printed back then. This new type of book consisted of fictional events with fictional characters, which unknown to everyone in the room was also an idea given by Alibaba by chance to Sahbmad a while back when they talked to each other.

And in recent days, after the release of this new type of book to the public from Sahbmad's new merchant group named Sabren Merchant group. This book becomes popular immediately to everyone as the people had few sources of entertainment recently, especially since most commoners and previous people of the slum are now jam-packed with work, which leads them not to have much time as before to have fun outside and due to this book they can read it while they are working or at home, so it became popular immediately.

After inspecting the designs that Alibaba showed them in the parchment, after a few minutes of talking, the council and King Rashid thought this would be a great idea and approve of Alibaba's design. And after talking for a while about how they can handle this, what to do with these designs. The council decided to hand over these designs to Sahbmad, the second prince, since they knew that he wouldn't be ungrateful if they did give Alibaba's design to his own brother, and they might even be able to get more. benefits

So after this, Alibaba then gave these designs and other projects. He also thinks that his brother can sell in his own merchant group some of the other ideas he had that can help the nobles and commoners in their livelihood.

And so after this, Sahbmad's Sabren Merchant group started to grow quickly due to its unique selections of items, and recently Alibaba had also proposed the idea of copyright law in the kingdom to King Rashid which when King Rashid heard the idea of this law, they immediately implemented this as because of the years of being high members of Balbadd they also didn't like of some shady merchants in their country taking an inexperienced merchant's valuable goods and selling it once again with a much higher price than the inexperienced merchant's base price.

Although some Nobles mostly ignore the type of scenarios due to some goods that are possibly stolen lands on a person who was not a thief, a lot of trouble is produced due to this, and sometimes an inferior good is sold instead of the real goods which are higher quality than the inferior goods.

So due to this, some Nobles in the council were fooled by some cunning merchants selling them fake goods or stolen goods, which either made them lose a ton of money or landed some of them in major problems, so they saw this law's advantages to them and the second princes business, so they readily agreed to it.

And due to these events, Sabhmad's Merchant group, until the day of the completion where Alibaba was currently at now quickly became the 10th largest merchant group of Balbadd and will inevitably become the top merchant group in the future once given time as Sabhmad's Merchant group are known for their special goods and unique items which other merchants weren't able to acquire due to the copyright law that was established. Even though some tried to smuggle some of the goods, they were quickly arrested by Balbadd soldiers after being found and arrested. And due to this new treatment, once found violating the copyright rule, many shady merchants started to either become straight merchants or left Balbadd all together due to not being able to do their shady jobs anymore, at least in the public eye on all of this.
