Chapter 184: Stocks and Capitalism (2)
As soon as I arrived, the civil servants at the Commercial Affairs Bureau immediately recognized me and approached.
"Baron Rothschild, thank you so much for making the effort to come all the way here."
When I created the guild last time, my noble status had ensured that the officials gave me some preferential treatment. However, this time, as soon as I arrived, the official didn’t rush out to greet me personally, nor did they call me “Baron Rothschild” before introducing themselves. They didn’t bow excessively either.
‘How did they recognize me? I didn’t even inform them I was coming.’
They couldn’t have seen my photo on the internet or TV, after all.
“You’ve had a long day.”
“If I can be of any help to you, Baron, it would be my honor.”
My social status is quite different from that of other nobles.
As a merchant, people would consider me to be on the verge of becoming a tycoon, and once the information regarding Ifriqiya is made public, I’m likely to officially take my place as one of the great tycoons.
As a noble, I’ve just recently been elevated to Baron, so my territory is small. But because I’m the son-in-law of Duke Visconti, my political importance is relatively high.
Given all this, it seems the Commercial Affairs Bureau sees me as a VIP.
‘Considering even a low-ranking civil servant at the Bureau reacts like this, there’s no need to doubt it.’
