Chapter 2 Guarantor Puzzles
Such a decision...... Is it really good?"
Lin Xiuyi cautiously mentioned the matter of mortgaging Sakurako to Sakurako, because he didn't want to give Sakurako the impression that he wanted to interfere with her. And Sakura, after hearing Lin Xiuyi's concerned inquiry, she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.
"Hey, this thing...... I hope that you will support my decision, Officer Lin!"
Sakurako lowered her head a little stiffly, and then asked Lin Xiuyi seriously. And Lin Xiuyi didn't know what to say for a while after listening to Sakurako's explanation!
"But...... After all, there is a lot of uncertainty in investing overseas! If you really put your whole net worth there in a desperate gamble, wouldn't it ...... Haven't you thought about the consequences of failure?"
Seeing that Lin Xiuyi still hadn't persuaded Sakurako, Miko couldn't help but remind her again with some anxiety.
"I've actually been thinking about this for a long time. Although I understand that everyone has good intentions, but ...... I still want to stick to my decision. Mortgage Sakura-no-Sato!"
"But Sakura-no-Sato's business is doing so well now, wouldn't you feel sorry if you did lose it?"
"Sure, I feel that way, but ...... Every time I think about those old coffee trees there, I feel like I shouldn't have missed this opportunity anyway!"
……
Seeing Sakurako's resolute attitude, Lin Shuichi and Miko, who were friends, didn't know what to say for a while. Akemi, on the other hand, sat quietly on the sidelines, looking at everyone with some concern, but she didn't know what to say.
"Ah...... I think you'd better try the coffee beans I brought back first! I've decided to make it my secret weapon for the World Barista Championship!"
Sakurako said as she stood up and saluted the group, then walked straight to the coffee machine behind the bar. After she had explained a few words to her staff, Sakurako picked up three coffee cups and expertly crafted three cups of espresso.
When Sakura returned to the seats of Lin Xiuyi and the others with three cups of Espresso, she handed the coffee in her hand to everyone with an expectant face, and then said to everyone in a very expectant tone:
"Please take a good look at it, I think...... You should easily spot the difference between this cup of coffee!"
Seeing Sakurako's slightly mysterious smile, Miko and Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but glance at each other, and then picked up the coffee cup and put it to their mouths. Just before Lin Xiuyi was about to taste it, a fresh pine aroma couldn't help but move Lin Xiuyi's taste buds, and this aroma alone made him full of expectations for this cup of coffee.
"This scent ......"
"It seems that you also feel it, don't you smell a faint smell of pine!"
"Yes, this aroma is really special! It feels like a completely different style than the coffee I've drunk before!"
Lin Xiuyi praised in surprise, then picked up the cup and put it to his lips and took a small sip carefully, after entering the mouth, although it was still a fusion of sour and bitter, but under the careful distinction, Lin Xiuyi still tasted the unique place of this coffee.
"It's like a berry-like fruit with a sour, bitter taste...... The bitterness is indescribable, and it feels like there is a hint of grain. This taste is indescribably beautiful!"
Lin Xiuyi said as he slowly tasted the cup of Espresso in his hand, every time he took his mouth, he could always find a new taste in the coffee, which couldn't help but make him look at the cup of coffee in front of him.
"It's unbelievable, this cup of coffee...... It's ......."
When the cup of coffee was drunk, Lin Xiuyi looked at Sakurako in some surprise, and Sakurako saw his reaction at this time, and already knew that he didn't need to say anything more.
"It's really delicious! But ...... I can't tell the merits of this cup of coffee like Shuichi-kun does. If I had to compare the Espressos I've had before this coffee, I'd definitely go with this one. ”
"What do you think?"
Seeing that only Akemi, who was sitting on the side, did not express her opinion, Sakurako couldn't help but ask her opinion with some curiosity.
"I also think it's good, it doesn't feel as bitter as the coffee I've had before. All in all, it's the kind of taste that you'll love once you drink it!"
……
Hearing everyone's praise for this coffee, Sakurako's face was filled with pride and satisfaction. She slowly sat back in her position, and then asked everyone very confidently:
"Now, do you still think I've been lied to?"
"No, but I still think you're taking a risk, if you really mortgage Sakura-no-Sato, what if you fail in the future, even if you have such excellent coffee beans in your hands......? Let's think of something else!"
Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was still worried about himself, Sakurako didn't know how to convince him for a while. In this way, everyone who had been in a lively atmosphere because of the delicious coffee suddenly fell into silence again. Sakurako said to everyone with some shame.
"I'm so sorry that everyone is worried about my business......"
Just as Sakurako was apologizing, Miko suddenly raised her hand and whispered to her:
"Wait a minute, I have a question Sakura......-chan! Even if you do mortgage Sakura-no-Sato to the bank, do you still need a guarantor to guarantee it for you?"
"Guarantor?"
As soon as Lin Xiu heard Yuzi's question, he asked him with some surprise.
"My family's farm had tried to get financing from the bank, but I couldn't find a guarantor that the bank could trust......, so I gave up! I think even if you do mortgage Sakura-no-Sato to the bank, there is a good chance that you won't be able to borrow enough money. ”
As he spoke, Miko leaned over to everyone, and then suddenly lowered his voice and asked everyone:
"Akemi-chan, if you insist on mortgaging Sakura-no-Sato to the bank, I'm afraid we are the only ones who can guarantee you!"
"This ...... I'll think of something else!"
"Huh...... The other way? It won't be usury or falsifying guarantor information, the kind that will lead to jail time!"
"I ...... I ......"
Under the questioning of Lin Xiuyi and Yuko, Sakurako didn't know how to answer for a while.
……
"Look at how this is, since ...... If you want to borrow money from the bank, you can only ask us to be your guarantor, it is better to ...... Let's just lend you money!"
"Huh?"
Hearing Miko's sudden suggestion, Sakurako was immediately speechless in surprise.
"Ah, I also have some savings in my hand, and I put them in the bank anyway, so I might as well lend them to Sister Sakurako!"
Akemi heard Miko's suggestion and immediately said with a sudden realization.
"If you can, can you count me as one?By the way, I think maybe we should consult the opinions of those friends in the study group, I remember that Hasa-san works at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries!"
