Seeing that this novelty attracted the attention of most people, Lin Cai said: "The data stored in the card is everything about coffee. Equipment and methods required from fruit processing, roasting to brewing. The content of each step and each link is not unique, and there are more than two methods recorded, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. ”

Flipping the water mirror technique that he turned on, he showed the contents 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 content, and said: "The content of the book is the same as the one stored on the card. It's just to avoid that some people are not used to staring at the water mirror screen, and they have to read paper books to stop. ”

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's eyes were attracted by the water mirror screen that he opened by swiping the card, Lin once again clarified his thoughts and said: "Regarding the coffee business, I propose three plans, and I ask you to choose according to your own needs. The first one, the cost of XX kiel (20 gold), 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 and other magical materials to bear, so the two will be set at the same price. ”

This price is very low for the knowledge of a new business. But several old people who were aristocrats were ready to move when they heard this. Of course, Lin knew what they wanted to say, and it was also the person he came into contact with during this time to talk about the coffee business that he wanted to make the most of them. So he preemptively said:

"I set this price because I don't want anyone to monopolize this money-making technology. And to be honest, compared to the expected benefits in the future, you want to monopolize it with XX Kiel alone, and don't want others to meddle in this business, do you think it's possible? ”

"No, Lord Tripwood. For a new business, we not only have to assess its viability, but also the necessary costs to be paid, and it may not be accepted at the beginning, which can make our investment fail. If there are too many competitors, this will not be good for our profits, let alone our future cooperation. As a result, our family had to reconsider whether or not to get involved in this business. ”

"If you really believe what you're saying, and if you're really so unconfident, then maybe we're really not fit to work together. What do you say? ”

Although it was not too ugly, it was very vernacular and direct, which made the old man who spoke choked. However, Lin didn't embarrass the other party too much, and after inviting the other party to sit down, he said: "Don't worry, I will find a few people to come over, of course I won't provide any advantages." Let's hear me out about the other two options first. ”

At the foot of the stairs, the old man was not a stubborn person who could hard-topped, so he pretended to sit down as if nothing happened. Or if his personality was really that tough, he wouldn't have been sent out by the family to meet with this magician who didn't know how to evaluate it.

"The second option, the technical knowledge is still the same price, but you can make an appointment with me. I can come to your door to give you advice or to guide you on the shortcomings. Of course, there is an additional charge for each door-to-door guidance, which is not a free service. The third option is to hire me as a consultant, and I will come to the door at a fixed time every week. Of course, my guidance is not always needed, so sometimes I offer something that I think can be improved. Of course, these suggestions are not mandatory, but only my personal opinion, so I will not interfere with your dominance in buying and selling. ”

To put it bluntly, the former is charged by piece, and the latter is paid a fixed salary. The few young people who didn't speak on the side laughed a few times at this time. It seems rather unimpressed.

Lin ignored the contemptuous laughter and said to himself, "My time is limited, I have to be busy with the affairs of the academy, and I also have my own magic research. To put it simply, even if someone comes to me with money, I don't necessarily have time to help. A few don't think that magicians are all full of food and idleness, and they come and go at the beckoning of others. In fact, this business has not been hired until now because I was busy until now. ”

Speaking of this, everyone also understands some doorways. However, some people still have the same attitude, not thinking that after gaining technical knowledge, they still need anyone's help. Originally, he was about to kick away after learning all and stealing teachers, but now why bother to pull the other party into his group.

Of course, another group of people think that the money spent is actually an opportunity from the Tripwood magician. The other party is not only the person who is most familiar with coffee, but also a magician, and the magician who has burst the tower of the great sage of a demonic lord and brought it to new life.

Such a person can not only give some advice on this business, but at least keep himself from crossing the river in the dark. Moreover, such an opportunity to get closer to such a person is also hard to come by.

And Lin watched a group of people struggling with their heads in their minds, as if they were thinking about how to compete with others. He also only thought it was funny, and said, "In my opinion, you don't have to worry about too many competitors at all, because there is another big problem to worry about." And that's something I can't solve. With your words, it may still be possible. ”

There is that flexible brain, as soon as I was reminded, I immediately thought of it, and said the key word: "coffee raw materials." ”

"Yes, as far as I know, the production area where a lot of coffee is grown is the mountain village outside Wulian City. I think you all know the location, a lot of people have told me that. However, the coffee trees there are all wild and there is no planning, which means that the yield is not large and the quality is not varied. Anyone who wants to get into this business can't avoid the problem of being limited by raw materials. ”

Several people from different families glanced at each other, and the most senior one of them came forward and asked, "Then I don't know what your Excellency can do to solve this?" ”

"Ask me." After Lin Hehe smiled, he said: "In the short term, of course, it is to grab the resources of that mountain village. There are many people who want to try to control it. It's just that at this stage, it seems that there is no real benefit, so no one has really enclosed the land, and the iron bucket built there is like a water can't be splashed. ”

Having said this, Lin also noticed that several people frowned. I don't know if he is not suitable for this kind of business method of grabbing territory, or if he is not satisfied with his answer, he only feels funny in his heart. But he continues: "In the long run, the best way to do this is to build your own coffee estate. Planting coffee trees on a large scale and in a planned way, pruning each tree in the most suitable way for picking the fruit, is much more efficient than picking wild fruit in the mountains and fields in that mountain village. ”

After saying that, he saw many people disapproving, as if he had heard some nonsense, but the more Lin laughed in his heart, the more happy he became. I picked up a card containing coffee knowledge, shook it in front of everyone, and said, "I have written down the method of planting coffee trees and the planning of the manor." Of course, after all, I am not a farmer, but I am just a statement based on my observations and thoughts. So let's just take a look. Of course, it would be best to have a farmer who is good at the crops in the field. ”

These words really moved this group of people. They never imagined that this small card, a magic stone the size of a fingernail, would have such content in it. words, everyone will speak; But few people really understand the method.

Compared to gold and silver mines, when they are dug up, they are gone. What grows in the ground can last for thousands of years, and this is the family's inheritance. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. You can have a direction, find a few people who are familiar with farming, and try it.

Although he guessed the psychological changes of these people, Lin was not a roundworm in someone else's stomach after all, how could he know the detailed turn. He just looked at the change of expressions and felt amused. But he hadn't forgotten the purpose of bringing in Master Smith.

Although the other party said that he also wanted to intervene in the coffee business. But what Lin values more is the experience of the other party in making the first roaster in the history of this mysterious land. That's why I invited the other party to participate in this conversation.

The man being pointed at and the nobles present have an incompatible temperament. With gray hair and a deep face, the years have indeed left traces on him. However, that spirit is not much better than that of a young man. Master Smith never spoke. But being stared at by those big copper bell-like eyes gives people a feeling that they have done something wrong.

"If you're not satisfied with planting or brewing, as far as coffee is concerned, you have to start with the roasting aspect," Lin said. And baking, though, is essentially just a process of cooking something. But no matter what kind of flavor you want to express or what kind of correction you want to make, the process of baking cannot be ignored. ”

"Master Smith is good at baking?" Some young people recognized the old man, and as soon as they seized the opportunity, they did not hesitate to launch a spicy counterattack.

Arch people out, of course Lin won't just ignore them. He said on behalf of the proud old man, "If you want a more convenient roast of coffee beans, then you have to ask Master Smith." Because I designed a machine specifically for roasting coffee beans, and it was done by a master. The design of this machine is not put in here. ──”

As he spoke, Lin shook the card in his hand again. After all, there is a lot of magic involved in the machine, and I don't want it to be misused by someone with a heart. Therefore, even if the design is submitted, it will be handed over to the Wizards' Guild, which is not suitable for anyone to learn. Therefore, the only two people in the world who can make a roaster are the master and me. ”

I thought I was just here to hear how the coffee business works, but I didn't expect Lin to help me do the publicity, which was really unexpected. Master Smith stood up and greeted the crowd.
