Chapter 189: The Coffee Business

Amari brought a cup of hot tea and handed it to her teacher. She stayed in the academy all the time and didn't follow her teacher around socially. She prefers to be in such an environment rather than talk to a group of people, as long as she is not forced to train with that group of children.

"Ann, it seems you're right."

The girl looked at her teacher in bewilderment. What she saw and said, there was never anything wrong. It's just that what is the teacher referring to this time?

"You once said it was a terrible man. I didn't think so, but today's events prove that you are right, he is indeed a terrible man. ”

Juan Javier hates familiar magicians more than magicians with strong magical powers. The former can know the limit of his ability from various rumors and temptations, and it is not a problem to cooperate or deal with it. However, it is difficult to guess whether his actions have other meanings. Whether as a colleague or an enemy, it is difficult to cooperate or cope.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Lin was not thorough. It's just the experience of the earth, whether it's personal experience or film and television works, all tell him that such and such things will happen. Now that we know what the situation is, it makes sense to think of some solutions. It's just that he came from a non-professional education system, and he can only choose a less bad result from a few options.

Fortunately, the children who came here were like a blank sheet of paper for their understanding of magic. They may have had unrealistic reveries, but they will still meticulously complete the requirements of the teachers and leaders in the academy.

On top of that, they can't understand the meaning of good or bad talent, and anyway, people who also learn magic and shine orange light are now fucked like dogs; Those who shine yellow are also fucked like dogs; Even Juan's rare genius, the glittering Charlotte, and the eight-year-old girl had the same fate...... It doesn't seem to be bad for any flash.

In addition to teaching magic miscellaneous, Juan Javier also began to pay attention to the children's behavior. And through the interaction between Amali and the children, we can peek into their inner thoughts. Because the progress of this group of children in learning magic is faster than he imagined.

Almost all of the children's one-ring magic is almost transparent, except for a few newcomers who have only been joining for a short time. Some people have learned the magic of the Second Ring, but many more have begun to learn the various techniques and tricks of the magic of the First Ring. It's only been a few months......

However, the progress of children is not without limits. At least the accumulation of mana power depends on time and perseverance. So in addition to the daily opportunity to enter the meditation room, they will seize every free time to harmonize their spirit and touch the omnipresent power.

Time goes by around the children's learning.

One afternoon, there was a break at three o'clock in the afternoon, which was a fixed coffee break for the three magicians who were members of the academy. Under the skillful hands of Ammary, the coffee exudes a charming aroma that stimulates the sense of smell of those present. In addition to Lin, Juan Javier, and Eli Huber, there were also Fin, who rarely appeared, as well as several minor nobles from the Frank Kingdom, and Master Smith, a blacksmith and magician whom he hadn't seen for a while.

Served and brewed by a young but full-fledged magician, several of the elders of the minor nobles were terrified. But the young man of their family showed a different look, delusionally trying to get close to this young and beautiful female magician.

However, in the evaluation of the three students by the two people in charge of drinking, Ammary's skills need to be strengthened, and Kaya and Halumi have their own characteristics. Fen never criticizes, Eli is just a fat man.

The presence of several nobles was also for the business in front of them.

Lin had the idea of starting a coffee business a long time ago. Maybe if he didn't have the academy, he would concentrate on the coffee business. But nowadays, there is no extra energy left in this area.

In the months following the establishment of the academy, the use of coffee as a means of public relations communication also brought this refreshing drink into the eyes of some people. There are also many people who are interested in running it as a business.

But just like the planet, most capitalists look down on technicians. Willing to give a sum of money that even beggars dislike, it is already a great mercy of those old men, how dare they put forward the mud legs who can only be technical, and how can they make too many unreasonable demands.

Therefore, the related skills of coffee have been pinched in Lin's hands until today. On the one hand, because of the promotion during this period, a small number of believers have been cultivated, and these people are still very influential; On the other hand, it is also because I have been busy for a while now, so I have time to deal with coffee. Therefore, Lin recruited a suitable initial partner in the observation during this time.

The more important factor is that the small mountain village full of coffee beans has been discovered. Because there was no idea of secrecy from the beginning, people who were interested in the process of finding out the whereabouts of Gaybrash Tripwood after returning to the city of Wulian soon found the existence of that mountain village.

In addition, the facilities for processing green beans were not abandoned, so Lin was still doing a solid job at the time when he was thinking about future availability. And those facilities that do not belong to the general mountain and rural areas, of course, attract the attention of those who are interested, a few danba (copper coins) open the way, and then ask, everything is exposed.

Choke the raw materials from the source, so as to force people to compromise? Maybe the stakes aren't big enough to drive people to do this, or maybe the mountains and forests with coffee trees are too big and too vast to be completely controlled. But even so, there are still people who let out rumors, suggesting that the mountain forest has fallen into the hands of a certain force - although many forces claim so——, all of which make Lin understand one thing, and if he doesn't act, maybe things will completely get out of control and develop in a direction that he can't predict.

Don't look at the nobles who are found are not locals, these small nobles are flexible in their means, and the forces united behind them are enough to compete with those who claim to be big nobles in this city of magicians.

And most importantly, because their status is not very high, they are willing to put down their subordinates and negotiate with the masters on an equal footing. Even if Lin doesn't fight for that breath, he also pays attention to a comfortable way to do things. If you have a choice, you don't have to work with someone who will make you unhappy, do you?

I chose to talk about things in the academy, also because the place was grand enough to bring some magicians to the scene. What's more, this is Finn's opinion. The home in the community is for relaxation, and she shouldn't go there to disturb her if she has nothing to do.

During this time of aristocratic gatherings, the Lich's long-sleeved dancing almost made people forget who she once was. What he saw and heard, he didn't look like a powerful demon king in the Dark Ages. However, for those who can see Fen's behavior at home and outside, it is very understandable why she would ask so much to protect the peace of the home in the community.

It's just two people! You stupid birds who are so obsessed with meat and vegetables do you know what she looks like at home.

Someone once wanted to break the news, of course, it wasn't malicious, but just jokingly wanted to expose the true face of the former demon king. But that time, he really received a death threat, and Lin felt a chill down his spine and shiver and leak urine just thinking about it. In the end, of course, he swore a poisonous oath, saying that he would never dare to do this again, and the matter came to an end for the time being.

However, on such an occasion to discuss business, Fen is just a matchmaker, and the main negotiator is still a hard-working guy. In the eyes of others, Lin has become a servant of a certain lich.

Although this is not directly related to Juan Javier and Eli Huber, they are equally interested in coffee. If you can get a kick in such a business, why not do it, after all, no one is afraid of money. Coffee is another good thing, it really can't be sold, and it's not a waste for personal use.

Everyone in the room waited in small talk, waiting for someone to get down to business. This is not a business negotiation strategy, but because in the past, whenever someone talked to Lin about this, he would always be rudely responded with words like 'I don't want to talk about it now'. Maybe sometimes it will be a little more tactful, but the common denominator is that as long as someone doesn't want to talk about it, it's useless to pester, so you can only wait.

In fact, until now, Lin is still thinking about how to run coffee. Although I watched a lot of film and television works with ups and downs in the business world during the Earth period, or various cases in business magazines, it does not mean that I can become a big boss. And most importantly, I don't have much time to deal with this part of the matter.

In the end, during this period of time, the plan that had been formed in my mind, although there were many shortcomings, was still proposed. Lin took out a thin metal piece the size of a business card, and in the center was inlaid a fragment of a Red Yao-level magic stone. The fragments are leftovers from the processing of magic stones. The metal sheet is made of pig iron plated with a special layer of silver, and it is covered with magic arrays and charms.

This is a by-product of how to arrange magic arrays in the homes of the community, which is a by-product of the mixing of ordinary materials and magic materials. The silver used for the plating was magical, but the pig iron that was wrapped in it was not. Combined with the power in the magic array and the magic stone fragments, you can produce a magic effect.

And this business card-like magic prop is a new product developed by Fen - a digital book. In front of everyone, Lin demonstrated how to use it. First, open the water mirror of the forum browser, and then swipe the card towards the water mirror, and the text content saved in the magic stone fragments will replace the screen of the forum and be presented on the water mirror screen.

Pushing the card in front of several talkers, of course, the two magicians Juan Javier and Eli Huber were not missing. At the same time, he took out several books with the same content and placed them on the table.
