Chapter One Hundred and Ninety First Involved in Shopping Malls
Seeing that this novel thing attracted most people's attention, Lin Cai said: "The data stored in the card is everything about coffee. From fruit processing, roasting to brewing, the equipment and methods required. Every step.
, the content of each link is not unique, there are more than two methods recorded, each with its own advantages and disadvantages."
He turned over the Water Mirror Technique he had activated and showed the content of the coffee book to everyone. At the same time, Lin also opened one of the paper books, turned to the page with the same record, and said: "The content of the book is the same as the card
What is stored on the Internet is the same thing. It just prevents people who are not used to staring at the screen of the water mirror and will not give up until they read a paper book."
While everyone's attention was attracted by the water mirror screen that he opened by swiping his card, Lin once again clarified his thoughts and said: "Regarding the coffee business, I propose three plans, please do it according to your own needs.
Choose. The first one costs xx Gil (20 gold). The money spent is to buy what you are looking at. Although the paper version is troublesome to copy and requires a lot of labor, the card version also has magic stones.
You have to pay for the magic materials, so the two will set the same price."
This price can be said to be very low for the knowledge of a new business. But several old men who were noble talkers were eager to make a move after hearing this. Of course Lin knew what they wanted to say, and he also came into contact with it during this time.
, the most desired request from the person with whom he was discussing the coffee business. So he took the lead and said:
"I set such a price because I don't intend to let anyone monopolize this money-making technology. And to be honest, compared to the expected future benefits, I just want to monopolize xx Kiel and don't want others to get involved in this business.
, do you think it’s possible?”
"No, Mr. Tripwood. For a new business, we not only have to evaluate its feasibility, but also have to pay the necessary costs. Moreover, it may not be accepted by people in the early stage. These may make us
The investment failed. If there are too many competitors, this will be detrimental to our profits, let alone our future cooperation. As a result, our family has to reconsider whether to get involved in this area of business."
"If you really believe what you are saying, and you really lack confidence, then maybe we are really not suitable for cooperation. What do you think?"
Although he didn't speak too harshly, he was very plain and direct, which made the old man who spoke choke. However, Lin did not embarrass the other party too much. After asking the other party to sit down, he said: "Don't worry.
, I will find a few people to come over, and of course they will not provide any advantages. Please listen to me finish the other two options first."
When he got down the steps, the old man was not a stubborn person, so he sat down as if nothing had happened. In other words, if his personality was really that tough, he would not have been sent out by the family. I don't know how to evaluate this person.
The magician meets.
"The second option, technical knowledge is still at the same price, but you can make an appointment with me. I can come to you to make suggestions or personally guide you on any deficiencies. Of course, there is an additional fee for each visit to provide guidance.
This is not a free service. The third option is to hire me as a consultant, and I will visit you at a fixed time every week for guidance. Of course, my guidance is not always needed, so sometimes I will take the initiative to propose some things that I think
Things that can be improved. Of course, these suggestions are not mandatory, they are just my personal opinions, so they will not interfere with your control over your buying and selling."
To put it bluntly, these two plans charge a piece-rate fee, while the latter charges a fixed salary. Several young people who were silent at the side sneered a few times and seemed to disagree.
Lin ignored the contemptuous laughter and said to himself: "My time is limited. I have to be busy with college affairs and also have my own magic research. To put it simply, even if someone comes to me with money, I won't necessarily
Help me when you have time. You don’t think that magicians just have enough to eat and just come and go when called upon. In fact, this business has only been delayed until now to find someone to cooperate with, and it’s also because of me.
I was so busy before that I was so busy."
When it comes to this, everyone also understands some tricks. However, some people still have the same attitude. They don’t think that after acquiring technical knowledge, they still need help from anyone. Originally, they were learning everything, and after stealing the teacher, they had to kick it.
Why bother to bring the person you kicked away into your own group now?
Of course, another group of people believe that the money spent is actually to exchange for an opportunity from Tripwood Magician. The other party is not only the person who is most familiar with coffee, but also a magician, the one who defeated a demon.
The tower of the great sage of the great king, the magician who gave it new life.
Such a person can not only give some advice on this business, but at least prevent himself from crossing the river in the dark. Furthermore, such an opportunity to get closer to such a person is also rare.
Lin looked at a group of people sullenly calculating, as if they were calculating how to compete with others. He only found it funny and said: "In my opinion, you don't have to worry about too many competitors at all, because there are other
It’s a big problem that I have to worry about. And that’s something I can’t solve. With your words, it might still be possible.”
Someone with a flexible mind immediately thought of it as soon as he was reminded and said the key word: "coffee raw materials."
"Yes, as far as I know, the place where a lot of coffee is grown is the mountain village outside Wulian City. I think you all know that location, and many people have told me so. But the coffee trees there
They are all wild and without any planning, which means that the output is not large and the quality is different. Anyone who wants to enter this business cannot avoid the problem of being limited to raw materials."
Talkers from several different families looked at each other, and the most senior one among them stepped forward and asked: "I wonder if you have any solution to this problem?"
"Ask me." Lin laughed and said: "In the short term, of course, it is to grab the resources of that mountain village. Grab people, grab land, grab coffee beans, there are many people who want to control it. Just
However, it seems that there is no real benefit at this stage, so no one has really gone to enclose the land and build it like an iron bucket, which water cannot pour into."
At this point, Lin also noticed that a few people frowned. He didn't know whether they were not used to this kind of land-grabbing business method, or were dissatisfied with his answer. He just felt funny in his heart. But he continued:
"In the long run, the best way is of course to build a coffee estate yourself. Plant coffee trees on a large scale and in a planned way, and prune each tree in the most suitable way for picking fruits. This is comparable to that in a mountain village with mountains and fields.
It would be much more efficient to use the land to pick wild fruits.”
After saying that, he saw many people disapproving of it, as if they had heard some nonsense, but Lin smiled more and more happily in his heart. He picked up a card containing coffee knowledge, shook it in front of everyone, and said : "I have written down the methods of planting coffee trees and the plan of the estate here. Of course, after all, I am not a farmer. I am just making a statement based on my observations and thoughts. So you can just take a look. It would be best if we could invite farmers who are good at growing crops in the fields."
These words really moved this group of people. They had never thought that this small card, a magic stone no bigger than a fingernail, would actually have such content in it. Everyone would say the words; but the method, But few people really understand.
Compared with gold and silver mines, once they are dug, they are gone. Things that grow in the ground can last for thousands of years. This is the family's inheritance. Regardless of whether this method is true or false, there can be a direction. Find a few people who are familiar with farming and you will know after a try.
Although he was guessing about the psychological changes of these people, Lin was not a roundworm in other people's stomachs after all. How could he know the detailed twists and turns? He just looked at the changing expressions and found it funny. But he did not forget to find Smith. The purpose of the master.
Although the other party said that he also wanted to get involved in the coffee business, what Lin valued more was the other party's experience in making the first roasting machine in the history of this place. That's why he invited the other party to participate in this conversation.
The man being pointed at has an incompatible temperament with the nobles present. He has gray hair and deep grooves on his face. Time has indeed left its mark on him. However, his spirit is no less than that of a young man. Although Master Jean Smith never spoke from the beginning to the end, being stared at by those big copper bell-like eyes gave people the feeling that he had done something wrong.
Lin said: "If you are not satisfied with the situation of planting or brewing, as far as coffee is concerned, you have to start with roasting. Although roasting is essentially a process of cooking things, no matter what you want, What kind of flavor you want to express and what kind of modifications you want to make, the baking process cannot be ignored."
"Master Smith is good at baking?" A young man recognized the old man, and when he got the chance, he launched a fierce counterattack without hesitation.
Of course, Lin would not just ignore him. He said for the arrogant old man: "If you want to roast coffee beans more easily, then you have to ask Master Smith. Because I designed a special machine for roasting coffee beans." The machine used to roast coffee beans was completed by a master. The design of this machine is not included here.──”
Saying that, Lin shook the card in his hand again. "─After all, the machine involves magic knowledge, and I don't want these to be abused by interested people. So even if the design is submitted, it will be handed over to the Magicians Association. That's not right. Anyone can learn it. So, now the only two people in the world of Lost World who know how to make roasters are the master and me."
I originally thought that I was just here to hear how the coffee business is done, but I didn't expect that Lin actually helped him promote it. This was a surprise. Master Smith stood up and greeted everyone.
