System: I open an inn in the desert

When it comes to skin care products, the actual situation is much more complicated.

Lin Yu could only make up an excuse: "Yes, that is an exclusive secret recipe, which is in the hands of the successor. The raw materials and techniques are quite demanding. It can only be made by hand and cannot be mass-produced. If they want to cooperate on this, I really can't do anything."

Lin Yu spread his hands helplessly. Didn’t he know that cosmetics and skin care products were a very profitable way to make money?

It is said that the easiest money to make is from children and women, and that is on the premise that they have irreplaceable advantages. If they could be mass-produced, the inn would have opened a production line long ago.

They also tried to increase production after launching skin care products for a period of time.

However, after testing, it was determined that the requirements for raw materials to achieve stable quality are indeed extremely high. Currently, only crops produced by farm land can have this effect. However, the total amount of land is repeatedly restricted by the system through upgrades and various activities, which clearly does not want him to take too many shortcuts.

Lin Yu also considered that these would eventually disappear in the future, so he did not add too much pressure on the projects that required stacking buffs. The beauty and skin care line still maintained a small production volume, which was only sold in limited quantities in his own inn convenience store and online store.

"That's not the case. My mother has used that cosmetic and she said it's better than the ones she bought before that cost tens of thousands of yuan. The reason your products are so cheap is that there is a production limit. Otherwise, if you sell them at such a low price and high quality, you would have been beaten by your peers a long time ago."

The driver's tone was full of helplessness. His brother was really honest. There are ways to do business with small output and large output. It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits.

But this young man is just guarding a treasure mountain and doesn't care about it. He is obviously running a business that can make a lot of money, but he sells it at a very low price. How can he not make his peers envious and jealous?

This is the illusion created by drivers and passengers due to the information asymmetry between the two parties.

Lin Yu opened the inn to make money, of course, and he stopped working hard for this goal. He promoted the inn to attract tourists and started multiple side businesses - flower processing, gifts, photography, short drama shooting, TV drama shooting, etc., all to increase actual sales.

Of course, he can add multiple sub-industries to make money, and even accumulate extremely considerable wealth in a very short period of time, becoming a rich man in the real sense, the kind who counts money until his hands cramp.

But he always remembered his original purpose - to transform the Baldan Desert, develop this barren land, make it rich and livable, and ultimately complete the system's world-class resort mission. This is the top priority.

But is this his main purpose?

Making money is secondary. Their only and most important goal is to maintain the normal operation of the inn and attract more people to settle here and revitalize the desert. Everything else is secondary.

Do not put the cart before the horse.

But he couldn't say this to outsiders, so no matter how outsiders saw him as a fool holding gold ingots but only able to eat steamed buns with pickled mustard tubers, he would still do what he was supposed to do in the future. At most, he would reach some branch cooperation without affecting the ultimate goal, increase the income and popularity of the inn, and accelerate the completion of the goal.

"... Haven't you noticed? Half of the alumni who came here today are not from the same class as us." The driver didn't notice that Lin Yu was distracted, and continued to introduce him in a low voice dutifully: "Doesn't the initiator look familiar to you? He is the senior who is two years older than us. You should have seen him in the bulletin board for outstanding graduates."

Lin Yu was sweating. He thought he saw a bunch of unfamiliar faces because he was face-blind and didn't remember them. It turned out that they were people he had never seen before... This was the first time he heard of a class reunion where several alumni gathered together: "... No wonder, I said I had left the group, how could the invitation letter still be sent to me? It turned out that the student union president has connections everywhere. But hasn't he graduated for two years? How come he still has channels in the student union?"

Driver: "The current student council president is his girlfriend."

Lin Yu: “…Oh.”

The network of relationships is really powerful.

The two were talking when the speeches on stage ended. Although I didn't pay attention to what was said on the stage, I guessed that the two of them just said those clichés and they wouldn't say the important things in front of everyone, so I just followed them and applauded without saying anything.

When the first part of the process was over, a line of waiters came in pushing a dining cart.

The dishes on the dining car were all covered with shiny golden lids. The few activists who had just stood up to applaud and join in the atmosphere sat back in their seats consciously, and the waiter began to serve the dishes.

"Ho!"

As soon as the lid was opened, Lin Yu sighed a little: "This must be a lot of money, really arrogant."

Yes, now only these two words can express Boss Lin’s thoughts.

The first thing served was the cold dishes. The names given by the waiter had good meanings but were quite complicated. Lin Yu did not remember them, but the presentation was very nice and the ingredients looked not cheap - there was an abalone and foie gras sashimi platter and a small bowl of cold-brew Buddha Jumps Over the Wall for each person, which was a full display.

"Wait a minute, the hot dishes are the main course. Enjoy them. The chefs here are all very skilled cooks." The driver whispered.

Lin Yu nodded. He had dozens of chefs in the inn who cooked delicious food for him in different ways. Although these things did not conform to his usual eating habits, he had eaten them more or less, so he had no surprise or expectation about the taste.

He just lamented that he felt that this meal did not seem like a class reunion.

I remember that when they graduated, they also had a meal together with a group of classmates. Although everyone had not yet started working officially, they were willing to spend money because they thought it might be difficult to see each other again as they were separated by thousands of miles.

Everyone pooled their living expenses and pocket money to have a meal at an Internet celebrity restaurant, and then went to a KTV to party all night. In total, each person only spent a few hundred yuan for a whole day of fun.

After a while, the hot dishes came up: matsutake mushroom, fish maw, abalone, wagyu, crab, grouper...

Based on the experience he had gained from eating at the inn over the past six months, Lin Yu secretly estimated that this table would cost at least 2 yuan, and there were as many as 10 tables in this place. One meal would cost the equivalent of a small car... It would be a burden to eat for free.

So I whispered to the driver: "How much is the share money per person? Why haven't I received any information? Maybe they didn't have the courage to ask me for it?" I asked quickly and gave the money, otherwise it would feel like I was just trying to get a free meal.

Driver: "You're overthinking it. The president will pay for today's meal and no one needs A. It is said that he has raised this amount of sponsorship for this event alone." He then held up three fingers under the table.

"Great! But there are big guys sponsoring the class reunion? What's the point of paying us for free?"

Xiaolin was pleasantly surprised to be able to have a free meal. He planned to taste the food and exchange ideas with his chef when he returned. If he came up with any new ideas for fusion dishes, he would be the first to benefit.

"Free food is the most expensive. The main meal will begin when you put down your chopsticks. Enjoy your meal, kid..." the driver said in a tone of experienced person.

Lin Yu: Supernatural.

But the fact is that the intuition and experience of Shi Cheng, who has been trained as a reserve boss since childhood, are always much more accurate than that of Lin Yu, a little sheep who was forced to do something...
