But Thor clearly didn't quite understand. He scratched his head and said, "And then? You Earthlings are too weak; other Worlds are very dangerous for you."
Harry was choked up by this muscle-brained Thor. At this moment, he actually wished Loki was here instead.
"After we open up this route, the various realms can establish contact, engage in commodity trade, cultural exchange, and so on—if you were a king, you should know the importance of trade."
"I really don't understand this. If only Loki were here." Hearing this, Thor's reaction was vastly different from before, and he seemed a bit low in spirits.
If it were before, he would definitely have bitten the bullet and claimed he understood these things.
Harry blinked as he looked at him, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "But now he is gone. You are destined to become the King of Asgard. Why not start here?"
After a moment of silence, Thor accepted Harry's statement, "You are right, I should learn. But I don't think you can provide anything useful."
Harry waved his finger and said, "If we're talking about technology or magic, we really can't provide anything. But we do have some unique things, like this."
The holographic equipment flashed, playing the most popular movie on the market right now: Avengers.
"This thing is called a movie, equivalent to your plays. Using some methods, we recreated your heroic deeds and expressed them through this medium."
Seeing this, Thor became a bit interested, but he pointed at his actor and said, "Is this me? I am much stronger than this."
"Well, if you're interested, you can play yourself." Harry shrugged.
"But can things like plays also be sold as commodities?"
This question stumped Harry. Asgard's culture was different from Earth's. If one had to describe it, they had a monarchy, but resources were not scarce, and there were no divisions or wars; it had always been unified. It was fundamentally completely different from Earth.
In other words, their commerce was very underdeveloped—perhaps there was no commerce at all.
He needed to change his approach to negotiate with him.
Thinking carefully, they probably wouldn't be profit-driven, and they had a high sense of honor, pursuing quality of life.
Long lives and the boring life in Asgard should make them interested in specialties from the outside World—not necessarily useful things, but interesting things.
"We have all kinds of alcohol, beer, wine, red wine, white wine..." Harry listed dozens of types of alcohol in one breath.
"Finally, something interesting." Thor revealed a drunkard's perverted smile, then restrained it under Jane's gaze. "I mean, Earth's alcohol is indeed quite good, with many varieties."
Besides alcohol, Harry listed over a hundred types of food and a series of items with distinct Earth cultural characteristics, such as Thor's favorite fried chicken, entertainment products, beverages, and so on.
Thor's eyes grew brighter and brighter—Earth really did have many good things!
This Asgardian was indeed more interested in quality of life and exotic items. Thinking about it, he didn't need to trade with the entire Asgard; wasn't it enough if Thor was willing to give him things?
Of course, these things could be easily replicated by them, but why would they replicate them? They didn't need to rely on these to make money, and it was obviously more exotic to have Earthlings make these things.
And Harry only needed to get some learning opportunities and scientific technology from them. To them, this was more like a reward than a trade.
Having grasped the key point, Harry and Thor talked more and more happily.
In the end, Harry successfully persuaded this Asgardian prince—soon, Earth's specialties would be sold to Asgard.
And as for the rewards, any materials and technology provided by Asgard would have very good effects on Earth. Harry could reverse-engineer these things in the extraterrestrial materials laboratory.
Once Osborn became powerful, he could strut over to other Planets to engage in development—like Alfheim, Vanaheim, and such places.
So, in the end, the two shook hands happily. Thor received thousands of tons of various Earth alcohols and promised to give Osborn some Heavenly Palace specialties.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Thor took a huge loss in this trade, but he was very happy, smiling like a half-ton child.
