Chapter 198 To generate income
Chen Lin's arrival caused a bit of a stir in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. After all, with his rank at this time, even the dean had to go out to greet him in person!
Before eating, Chen Lin was led to drink tea in the living room, and the dean excitedly showed him some of the recent new achievements of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
"Didn't we talk about cash crops before we came back? In fact, we now have a very powerful cash crop."
The dean used a projector to show it to Chen Lin. What appeared on the screen was a large round fruit, which was black as a whole and partly red.
"We currently call this thing the Starlight Fruit."
The dean said with a smile: "This thing was found from the records of the Coman Library and the planting in some villages. This thing is actually coffee from another world."
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. He couldn't understand why the discovery of such a thing could make the dean so excited.
"This thing was originally used by magisters to stimulate the body's magical resonance. Taking the water soaked in its fruits will enhance one's sensory sensitivity, but later ordinary Coman people discovered that its fruits can also be used to refresh themselves. , so there is also a small amount of planting in some areas."
"We have analyzed the composition of the fruit and found that it contains more than 100 different substances, including one ingredient - asterolin. This substance shows a star-like effect under a microscope, hence its name. This ingredient It can stimulate the central nervous system and respiratory system, expand blood vessels, accelerate heartbeat, enhance people's excitement and relieve brain fatigue... That's why it's called coffee."
Chen Lin then added: "In this case, wouldn't it be no longer competitive with coffee?"
"Although this thing has similar effects to coffee, it is actually better. The ingredients of starlight can be perfectly absorbed by the human body, and can continuously and efficiently increase the body's excitement level. After many rounds of testing, this thing has no Any side effects."
"It is a very good additive that can be used in beverages or daily drinks, and its taste is more sour and sweet than coffee."
As the dean explained, the projection picture in front of him naturally switched to a picture of starlight being added to the drink, "This thing and coffee belong to two different fields, so there should be no conflict."
When Chen Lin heard this, he nodded with a smile, but he was not particularly optimistic about the prospects of this thing. After all, there are so many types of drinks sold on the earth, and the dean's remarks can be regarded as... The optimist spoke up.
Chen Lin would not speak out to attack the dean. After all, the final word would depend on the sales volume.
"We conducted a small-scale product test on this thing..."
The dean said this without thinking at this time. He turned to look at Chen Lin and said: "The taste of this batch of drinks is relatively light. It is not like Red Bull, which has an obvious taste improvement, and it is not like coffee." Such bitterness can be regarded as a compromise to select a group of audiences."
"We only sold more than 2 bottles in the first batch, and the final reviews we received were pretty good."
"So we are preparing for a wave of mass production."
When Chen Lin heard this, he still said: "This must be tested for multiple rounds before making a decision. Don't destroy the sign."
The dean of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen. The official store we established will have a new batch of products every two weeks. Many of them are clearly for testing effects. We are very Watch how these things sell."
"After all, it's all about generating income!"
Chen Lin looked at each other and immediately laughed.
Income generation seems to have little to do with him. In fact, every money earned by the outpost has a part in commission plan that Professor Yu obtained for him is still in progress, and the association and the two bases are strictly implementing it - at this time, Chen Lin's bank card has an unimaginable amount of money. It is tens of thousands of times the initial reward amount of the association, all based on the value of various resources transported by the association from other worlds!
Even if it is the sale of goods of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Chen Lin will take a part of it.
Speaking of which, Chen Lin is still a little confused to this day as to how Professor Yu persuaded the Red Dragon Association to finally agree to this plan.
lunch time.
Chen Lin took his seat and took a brief sip of the wine poured for him by the dean himself. It was clear and sweet, and it could even be said that there was no bitterness or irritating taste of ordinary spirits.
"This is our home-brewed wine. It uses a kind of food crop here as raw material. This thing is also called Ganquan wine. It has a lot of stamina. Mr. Chen must control the amount."
The dean laughed, and Chen Lin nodded and motioned for everyone to use their chopsticks to eat. He was really hungry.
When Chen Lin woke up, it was already past ten o'clock the next morning.
He sat up from the bed holding his head. Xiao Wu immediately noticed it keenly, opened the door and walked in from outside the house, calling Mr. Chen.
Xiao Wu had an expression of relief on his face.
"Have I slept all day?!"
Chen Lin stared at Xiao Wu and asked. After receiving the affirmative answer, he immediately felt that it was ridiculous.
"What kind of magic water did this Academy of Agricultural Sciences give me? I was able to sleep for a whole day!"
Grass! Chen Lin borrowed the room at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and took a good bath. After cleaning up, he asked if anything special had happened recently.
"There is nothing special, but Professor Yu called me several times to ask how you are doing..."
"This news can't stop it."
Chen Lin rubbed his temples. He didn't know how much of the Ganquan wine he drank, but he suddenly fell unconscious.
The stamina of this thing is really powerful when it works! What Xiao Wu didn't say was that Chen Lin's hangover-like behavior immediately made his exclusive office anxious. In the middle, he pulled the dean of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences out and severely criticized him, and even cut his salary. Two months!
The expert medical team sent by the office performed systemic blood tests on the sleeping Chen Lin every two hours. No wonder Chen Lin only felt a little pain in his arm when he got up... However, after mastering the magic element, his physical fitness has improved. Yu had already made too many improvements back then, but it didn't have much impact.
Chen Lin stood up and let out a long yawn. He didn't have any adverse effects of a hangover. He just felt light and full of energy.
"It's just a pity that I have forgotten everything the dean said to me that night..."
He shook his head and said regretfully: "I'm really interested in the research of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."
