Lawrence and the others used the iron pot in the kitchen to make tea. Considering that this time they needed to make a large pot of tea at once, and after yesterday's investigation, they found that everyone prefers milk tea with a stronger taste. So he made this time
Simply boil water in one pot, and use another pot to boil a pot of milk that was just squeezed out this morning.
Of course, the milk must be cold when drinking tea. However, since fresh milk is a very good bacterial culture dish, Lawrence thinks it is better to heat and sterilize the milk first. Otherwise, black tea and milk tea will be made public for the first time.
It would be bad to show up and make everyone drink and have diarrhea.
Fortunately, the three of them are extraordinary people, so they can easily complete the work of transporting huge containers filled with liquids. After working for a long time, milk tea for more than 100 people was finally brewed. By this time, everyone had already
After breakfast, the milk tea is served and can be used as an after-dinner dessert or drink.
"Hey, what is this?" Looking at someone behind them bringing cups of brown liquid, the people who had eaten there before, both humans and tauren, all showed curious expressions as if they had seen something new. "Smell it.
It has a mellow aroma of milk and a special taste."
"This is a new drink we developed together with the Tauren. It is a new type of tea." Nora flew in from outside the room and said, "Today is the first time that this kind of tea is invited to be tasted on a large scale.
If it tastes good, this thing will become an important specialty of New Saul Island, and it will also become an important link between us and the tauren."
"So, I hope you can put forward some more objective opinions on this tea." Lawrence also walked in from outside the house with the tauren shaman at this time, and said at the same time, "Because this is the only way we can
Being able to further adjust the flavor of these teas will allow these teas to become best-selling products.”
After listening to Lawrence's words, everyone present took a serious look at the light brown liquid in the cup in their hands, and then tasted it with serious faces. However, after taking the first sip, most of the people present
Some tauren and humans all showed satisfied expressions.
Obviously, this kind of drink that combines the aroma of milk and tea is more in line with everyone's aesthetics. At least after tasting it, most people think that this new drink at least meets the taste preferences of most intelligent races. But
Some people also put forward some opinions on the issue of taste.
For example, many tauren think that the flavor of this tea is not strong enough. Although it tastes good, it is still far from the best state they expected. According to them, if the tea is
It would be more perfect if the bitter taste was stronger, but the current tea taste is still a bit weak for them.
"Ah, this is indeed our problem." Lawrence nodded after listening to the opinions of the Tauren. After all, the taste of this thing is adjusted according to human tastes. For Taurens, the taste of food and drink is heavier than that of humans.
Generally speaking, this thing is indeed a bit bland.
For example, when Lawrence and the Tauren of his mission were eating here these days. In order to avoid the situation where the Tauren added too much salt on the first day and all the humans had to bite the bullet, they simply used
A small pot is provided for several of them to cook individually.
Although the tauren will not consume too much of this thing, it reminds Lawrence that there are not only intelligent creatures in the world, so they also have to introduce different types of tea according to different markets. For example, for the dwarves
The tea leaves sold may need to be as strong as the tea leaves that can be given to the tauren, but if they are sold to the elves, they may need further fermentation to reduce the bitterness in the tea leaves.
The next step is the specific negotiation about the joint company, because the negotiators from both sides have all received instructions before the negotiation, requiring that this negotiation should be based on fairness as the most basic and most important principle. Therefore, everyone is not like ordinary negotiations.
In order to fight for as much percentage of the shares as possible, you and I went back and forth. Instead, we sat together and began to estimate how much resources both parties could devote to this enterprise.
In this kind of communication, both parties first come up with a self-evaluation, and then exchange that information with each other to evaluate the other party. In the process, they discovered that because of the different environments in which both parties are located, they have completely different valuations of many things.
, there is even a big gap.
Therefore, in this case, both parties need to spend a lot of time and energy to uniformly value some of their respective things. Fortunately, both parties have had some contact with each other before and understand many of the other's things. Therefore,
An agreement can be reached through simple negotiation during subsequent valuations.
By noon the next day, the articles of establishment of the joint company between Lawrence and the Minotaurs and the general framework of the subsequent cooperation had been slowly established during the discussion. A relatively specific written document was then formed.
was sent to Lawrence.
According to the content shown in this document, after previous calculations and discussions, Lawrence will own 83% of the shares of this joint company, and the tauren tribes distributed in this hilly area will be established as a whole in the soon-to-be-established company.
The new company owns 17% of the shares.
According to the requirements of the agreement, after the agreement is signed, both parties will start the project seven days after the agreement is signed. As the human side, they need to build various tea processing facilities and prepare for publicity and preparation for subsequent shipments.
Make various hardware and software preparations.
For example, the short-term plan is to transport necessary tools and weapons to the Tauren tribe and prepare a group of steam ships that can sail in the inland river. The long-term plan is to build a narrow gauge railway (the narrow gauge in this world is equivalent to the Lawrence River).
The standard track of this world) connects the Tauren tribe area and New Saul Island, completely connecting the two sides.
The Tauren's short-term goal is to expand the actual control area outwards after obtaining the weapons prepared by Lawrence and completing training to ensure the safety of important raw material production areas, and at the same time expand the road leading to the river.
to ensure that the goods can be transported smoothly in the future.
The long-term plan is to expand to the surrounding areas and spread civilization based on complete control of the hilly areas, and then further expand the tea planting area to prepare for future development.
Since the successful production of black tea, Lawrence has determined the future development path of this island. In view of the fact that the biggest problem of the island is the lack of sufficient mineral resources, other than farming, it cannot develop other industries. Therefore, after discovering that this island can be developed from
After seeing the specialty products grown in the ground, he immediately determined that tea would be the flagship product of the island.
As for the cultivation of food crops, he will not give up, let alone how important food security is to this isolated overseas island. Just becoming a food base can affect the surrounding neighbors to some extent.
A little was enough for Lawrence to choose to expand production of these foods.
Not to mention that these teas require hilly areas, which are different from the plains required for growing food. Therefore, the two can develop together.
"I can't wait to get ready to go back to New Sauer Port now." Lawrence said to Nora after completing the signing of the cooperation document. "After all, it has been almost a week since we came out. Even if we can be contacted by radio, there are still some problems."
