After this period of operation, the library book bar has developed very well, and the early investment has not only been fully recovered, but Jialan has also mastered a large amount of activity funds.

This fund was not saved by Jialan, but was all invested in the book bar and library, and a comprehensive upgrade was carried out in terms of raw materials and hardware.

Some people ask, what kind of people are mages?

In Jialan's time, in addition to being the masters of mystical power beyond the worldly elite, mages were also a symbol of mystery, power, wealth, and nobility in the eyes of the common people.

A mage, regardless of whether he has a noble title or not, has a social status that is definitely no less than that of a true nobleman, and this social status will also increase as his spellcasting rank increases.

It can be said that mages are the real uncrowned nobles by nature, and their status does not need to be recognized by the secular regime, but the secular aristocratic class cannot but recognize it, because neither the nobles nor the royal family are willing to easily offend a mage who has the ability to cast mysterious spells.

Therefore, although the vast majority of spellcasters do not care about power and status, they have a transcendent identity, admired and worshipped by the world, which is often reflected in the rich life that is longed for by ignorant commoners.

Money is not very important to mages, but few mages are really poor enough to have no money to eat, and the mystical knowledge they have can always easily earn them a lot of money.

Compared with the money required for those expensive and extravagant spell tests, the expenses that the mages spend on living are really insignificant, and the mages who do not pursue a luxurious life may not realize that the daily necessities they use are not necessarily willing to be used by even the real wealthy nobles.

Drinking from a luxurious Swarovski crystal cup worth 20,000 gold coins and drinking from a crude oak cup worth two copper coins were no different for the mages, and they were just daily necessities purchased at will when the experimental funds were abundant, and naturally there were servants and housekeepers who took care of the mage's life to take care of these things.

However, the servants of the caster do not have such a detached mentality as the master of the mage, and with the huge financial support provided by the master, they will often try to purchase the best quality and most expensive luxury daily necessities for the master, so as to ensure the happiness of the master.

The mages unconsciously use the most luxurious daily utensils all day long, enjoying the most expensive food, clothing, housing and transportation, which invisibly elevates their taste of life to a very high level, and this word and deed has become a natural habit in their lives.

After all, the attitude of the mages towards life is just indifferent, and they are not really stupid, a delicious roast suckling pig and a hard erection of poor black bread, when you are hungry, which do you think the mages will choose?

This kind of natural luxury living habits, in the eyes of ordinary people, naturally become the so-called "natural aristocratic temperament".

Living in such a living environment since childhood, Jialan naturally also has this so-called "natural aristocratic temperament", so when choosing various hardware facilities in the book bar, he randomly chose what he liked from the samples sent by the merchants.

This may not be visible in the "public area" in front of the library, but in the "Wizard of Oz" area at the back of the library, which has not yet opened, it is very obvious.

As the sun gradually set, the light in the ancient forest gradually dimmed, and not far from the entrance of the forest, several middle-aged people with angry faces were walking along the road with Ellan on their faces.

They are the heads of the management office, teaching office, and finance department of the [Kemo University] college, and it is interesting that most of the middle managers of the college are not magicians, but just ordinary people hired with management skills.

In a sense, they are also equivalent to the butlers and servants who served the spellcasters in Jialan's time**?After all, the vast majority of magicians are focused on the research of the magic field, and they have no extra mind to take care of these complicated management affairs.

Therefore, in addition to laboratories, museums, libraries, and other areas involving magical items and books, it is not unreasonable to leave some of the academy duties that are not important to be managed by ordinary people who specialize in them.

The three middle-aged people were in a very bad mood at the moment, a student who had suddenly been appointed as a librarian dared to put up such a big shelf, let them wait for an afternoon, and let them come and ask them, the academy administrators, to condescend to see him!

Who did he think he was? The magic professors of the Academy of Magic? Or the Dean?

If he were one of those magicians with a strange temper, they ordinary managers couldn't afford to mess with, but you, a magic apprentice who had just entered the school, were qualified to put such a big score?

But as they went deeper into the woods, they found that the atmosphere here was completely different from what they had imagined, which should be dark, damp, full of corruption, and eerie ancient forests!

Because the Wizard of Oz area has not yet been fully built, it is not open for business for the time being, and after the craftsmen finish work, it is very quiet.

The soft grass under your feet and the ancient trees full of historical mottled sense leisurely exude a refreshing and rich phytoncide, and every dozen meters of branches, the milky white gauze lanterns hanging on the branches cast a soft light, illuminating a forest path.

There is a faint and subtle fragrance wafting in the air, blended with the phytoncide emitted by the trees, which makes people feel refreshed!

They are also members of the academy's management, and they are also high-ranking people in society outside the academy, so they naturally identified that they were from the [Southeast Continent]-[Velenna County]-[Blade Desert] region, the [Spiritual Incense] of the Desert Elves [Kashma] tribe!

It is said that this rare magic incense has a very magical effect, which can improve the mental power and concentration of the magician, so that he can obtain better results when memorizing and reciting magic spells.

However, this kind of magic incense is extremely expensive on the market, and a dose costs hundreds of gold talans, even those magicians and masters, in order to give full play to the best effect of [Kashma Meditation Incense], they often lock themselves in secret rooms to use it.

How could someone have lit [Kashma incense] in such a large woods? What a luxurious thing would it take for a person to do such a wasteful thing?

After walking a distance, von Kasmer, the head of the college's finance department, suddenly discovered that the yarn lamp hanging from the branch was actually burning [Fish Man Oil]!

This kind of transparent oil quenched from fish-man fat has a very strong fishy smell when it is not burned, but after burning, it has a faint fragrance, and at the same time it will emit an extremely bright and stable light, and will not produce any oil smoke.

Good quality means expensive price, 500ml costs 10 pieces of Quintalan lamp oil, not everyone can afford to use, although fish oil is very durable, a little can burn for a long time.

But along the way, they passed dozens of yarn lamps, to say the least, if all the lamp oil used in these yarn lamps was [fishman oil]...... The Minister of Finance, von Kasmer, swallowed, was it a duke they were going to see?

Perhaps because of the quiet and solemn atmosphere in the ancient woods, coupled with the low-key luxury effects of [Kashma Contemplation Incense] and [Fish Man Oil], the three of them were no longer annoyed unconsciously, but became cautious.

The meeting place did not go too far into the ancient woods, and soon, under a strange crooked neck ancient tree, next to a bush of purple lavender flowers, a simple round table appeared in front of them.

A young man with black hair and black eyes was sitting quietly at the table, reading a heavy old book, and on the round table in front of him, a cup of hot coffee emitted a faint mist under the bright light of the gauze lamp, making him look as if he was shrouded in a hazy mysterious atmosphere.

Ten young girls in delicate purple dresses stood in two rows in the afterglow of the gauze lanterns, neither abrupt nor overlooked, and their hands drooped like quiet elves in the dark night.

Ailan, who led the way, quickened his steps and walked to the black-haired young man's side, leaned down slightly on his slender waist and whispered something, and then stood behind the black-haired young man with another girl in a long purple dress.

The Minister of Finance and the others involuntarily stopped not far from the round table, and carefully held their breath as if they were servants waiting for their master's summons.

Just when they felt confused for a while, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong in this atmosphere, the black-haired young man put down the book in his hand, stood up leisurely, and saluted slightly: "Good night, everyone, please sit down, come and taste the newly arrived Nusaki coffee, I believe you will like it." ”

The three people who looked at each other involuntarily bowed slightly, and then sat down carefully at the table with some restraint, while the girls who were hidden in the darkness began to be busy lightly.

Some took out a steaming clay pot from behind the bushes, others grinded the beans with an ancient crank hand mill, and soon three cups of fragrant coffee were placed in front of them, and the maidens silently returned to the darkness beyond the light, as if they had never appeared.

Picking up the cup of coffee in front of her, Jialan smiled and gestured to the three managers, and took a sip gently, revealing a satisfied expression.

The three managers, who had been a little confused by this strange atmosphere, were a little embarrassed to pick up the delicate glass coffee cup and taste the Nusaki coffee in front of them, which cost 1 piece of Quintalan.

When the three of them were immersed in this kind of fragrant taste of expensive coffee, even with the high salary they had, the high salary brought by them, and the aroma of expensive coffee that they couldn't enjoy often, Jia Lan Shi Ran smiled and said, "I don't know what the three managers are looking for me?"

The three people who were squinting their eyes and tasting coffee were stunned for a moment, and then they remembered the intention of the three of them, and they were suddenly at a loss when Jialan asked.

This time, he thought about the huge profits shown by the operation of the library book bar in just a few days, and took the lead in bringing the two directors of the management office and the teaching office to the library accountable, in an attempt to take over the management of the library book bar from the hands of the new librarian, so as to divide the benefits.

As can be seen, the management of [Kemo University] is actually divided into two parts, internal and external, and the internal management is composed of [Kemo University]'s:

[Faculty Management Office] composed of the presidents of each branch;

[Mentor Supervision Association] formed by the leading professors of magic in each department;

[Student Association] composed of outstanding student representatives in various disciplines;

The "upper, middle and lower" management is composed of three levels of management, who are only responsible for the education of students and internal affairs, while the external management is composed of external managers from various departments of the college, who are responsible for the operation and management of the college.

In terms of status, there is a subordinate structure between the two, and these external managers have no right to interfere in the decision-making of the [Faculty Management Office] and the [Tutor Supervision Association], and even the student activities organized by the [Student Union], they can only assist from the side, but cannot interfere in the management.

Even the actions of the management staff are monitored and reported by the students and staff, but the main day-to-day management of the college is carried out by them, including the operation and development of the college, and the contact and communication between the college and the outside world.

It can be said that this level is a kind of compromise cooperation between the top management of the college and the outside [Coran City] forces, and it is strictly forbidden for outside forces to interfere in the internal affairs of the college, but the outside forces are allowed to obtain some direct or indirect "benefits" from the college at the cost of serving the college.

After all, magicians can't completely avoid the fireworks of the world, and many places need to use some power in the world, not to mention those tedious management work that takes up a lot of time and energy, and is a headache, and no magician is willing to take over at all.

Therefore, when someone is willing to take on this part of the work, the senior management of the academy is willing to hand over these troublesome matters to them, which leads to the existence of the academy management, an intermediate class that cannot interfere in the decision-making of the academy, but has management power.

The "benefits" of having someone in the family serving as the administrator of the [Kemo University] are obvious, just from the hands of the magicians of the academy, obtaining some magic items and magic techniques is enough to make the major forces in [Kelan City] compete to break the blood.

Therefore, the large and small positions in the management of [Kemo University] have always been an important position in the exchange of interests and power games between the major families and major forces in [Kelan City].

The market, restaurant and other consumption places within the college are also the management personnel placed in the college by the major families, and use their power to win the management rights for the family.

Just imagine, a college with a population of more than 400,000 is almost equivalent to the size of a small and medium-sized city.

Because students can't easily leave the college to go out during their study days, it has become a closed life circle, and so many people's life problems need to be solved, so how huge should the benefits be contained in it?

The best thing is that because the status of [Kemo University] in [Corland City] is much higher than that of [Corland City Civil Council], not only is it not managed by [Corland City Civil Council], but even all kinds of business projects in the college do not need to pay taxes to [Corland City Civil Council]!

For the major families and forces of [Kelan City], the internal market of the college has become an extremely fat piece of big fat, who can win the right to manage and operate, it is equivalent to who has obtained tax exemption and amnesty treatment, how can it not compete for a hard bite!?

But no one expected that out of their sight, the originally dilapidated and deserted college library would suddenly emerge a so-called "book bar" run by the library.

Originally, I thought it was just a temporary adjustment made by the new librarian to fix the library, and the reading area was temporarily placed outside the library.

However, the administrators soon discovered that a group of new students who were employed by the library and worked on a work-study basis had actually started a book bar to provide light meals and drinks to readers, and this book was understandable.

However, after they learned about the prices of light meals and drinks provided by the book bar, and estimated the number of people who consumed at the book bar, their faces almost turned green!

Although the profits of the major families and the powerful forces in the various branches within the [Kemo University] are extremely profitable, after all, there are more wolves and less meat, and everyone divides them, and there is always a feeling of unfinished business.

Because the on-campus consumption places do not need to pay 10%~25% of the commercial tax to the [Kelan City Civil Affairs Council], there is a relatively large profit margin, so in order to obtain more benefits from [Kemo University], they can only continuously improve the quality of their own consumption places, reduce the consumer price, and strive for students from other branches to consume on their own turf.

However, under the large number of competitors and vicious competition, the market potential and profit margins have been tapped and squeezed almost transparently.

At this time, this library book bar that suddenly appeared, but without warning, without greeting any college management, forcibly inserted into the student market, seriously squeezed their living space, and made the turnover of each business place drop to the lowest point in history.

It is important to know that there are many branches and departments of Ludao [Kemo University], but there is only one big library, no matter which branch, which department of students, they must go to the library to borrow books, the original library environment is bad, the location is remote, not many students stay, to the meal or will return to their respective colleges to eat.

But now, the library book bar provides meals and drinks to students who borrow books, even if the meals provided are far less rich and delicious than the college cafeteria, which also leads to a large number of students being too lazy to return to the college to eat on the spot, and suddenly cut off everyone's financial resources!
