v16 Chapter 2: Guarantor Problem

"Such a decision...is it really good?"

Lin Xiuyi carefully mentioned the mortgage of Sakura no Sato to Yingzi, because he did not want to give Yingzi the impression that he wanted to interfere with her. And Yingzi, after hearing Lin Xiuyi's caring question, couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.

"Hey, this matter... I have thought about it very seriously! I hope, Officer Lin, you can support my decision!"

Sakurako bowed her head cautiously, and then asked Lin Xiuyi seriously. And after listening to Yingzi's explanation, Lin Xiuyi didn't know what to say for a while!

"But... After all, there is a lot of uncertainty in investing overseas! If you really put all your fortune in there, don't you think about the consequences of failure?"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi still hadn't persuaded Yingzi, Yuzi couldn't help but remind her again impatiently.

"In fact, I've been thinking about this for a long time. Although I understand that everyone is well-intentioned, but... I still want to stick to my current decision. Mortgage Sakura no Sato!"

"But the business situation of Sakura no Sato is so good now. If you really lose it, wouldn't you feel a pity?"

"What a pity? Of course I feel that way, but... every time I think about those ancient coffee trees there, I feel like I shouldn't miss this opportunity no matter what!"

...

Seeing Sakurako's resolute attitude, Lin Xiuyi and Yuko, who were friends, didn't know what to say for a while. Mingmei, on the other hand, sat quietly by the side, looking at everyone worriedly, but she didn't know what to say.

"Ah... I think everyone should try the coffee beans I brought back! One of them, I have decided to use it as my secret weapon for participating in the World Barista Competition!"

As Sakurako spoke, she stood up and gave everyone a salute, then walked straight to the coffee machine behind the bar. After she explained a few words to her staff, Sakurako picked up three coffee cups, and then skillfully made three cups of Espresso.

When Sakurako returned to the seats of Lin Xiuyi and the others with three cups of Espresso, she handed the coffee in her hands to everyone with a look of anticipation, and then said to everyone in a very expectant tone:

"Please taste it seriously, I think...you should be able to easily find the difference in this cup of coffee!"

Seeing Sakurako's slightly mysterious smile, Yuko and Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but glance at each other, and then brought the coffee cup to their lips. Just before Lin Xiuyi was about to taste it, a fresh pine wood aroma could not help but activate Lin Xiu's taste buds. The aroma alone made him look forward to this cup of coffee.

"This scent..."

"It seems that you feel it too. Does it smell like a faint pine wood?"

"Yeah! This aroma is really special! It feels like a completely different style compared to the coffee I've had before!"

Lin Xiuyi praised in surprise, then took the cup and put it to his lips and took a careful sip. After entering the mouth, although it was still a fusion of sour and bitter tastes, Lin Xiuyi still tasted it after careful discrimination. Got to where this coffee is unique.

"It seems to have a sour and bitter taste of fruit similar to berries... This bitterness is really indescribable, and it feels like a grain of grain. This taste is really indescribably beautiful!"

As Lin Xiu spoke, he slowly tasted the cup of Espresso in his hand. Every time he sipped it, he could always find new flavors in the coffee, which made him look at the cup of coffee in front of him with admiration.

"It's unbelievable, this coffee... it's..."

When the cup of coffee was empty, Lin Xiuyi looked at Yingzi in surprise, and when Yingzi saw his reaction, she already knew that she didn't need to say anything more.

"It's really delicious! But...I can't say the merits of this cup of coffee like Shuichi-kun. If I were to compare the Espressos I've had before drinking this cup of coffee, I would definitely Choose this cup."

"Where's Mingmei? What do you think?"

Seeing that only Mingmei, who was sitting on the side, did not express her opinion, Sakurako couldn't help but curiously asked her opinion.

"I also think it's good. It doesn't feel as bitter as the coffee I've had before. All in all, it's the kind of taste you'll love after drinking it once!"

...

Hearing everyone's praise for this coffee, Sakurako's face was full of pride and satisfaction. She slowly sat back to her previous position, and then confidently asked everyone:

"Now, do you still think I was cheated?"

"No, but I still think you're taking a risk. If you really mortgage Sakura no Sato, what if you fail miserably in the future, even if you have such excellent coffee beans in your hand? Otherwise... Let's think of another way!"

Seeing that Lin Xiuyi was still worried about herself, Yingzi didn't know how to convince him for a while. Just like that, everyone who had been excited by the delicious coffee suddenly fell into silence again. Sakurako said to everyone a little ashamed.

"I'm so sorry, everyone is worried about my affairs..."

Just as Sakurako was apologizing, Yuko suddenly raised her hand and whispered to her:

"Wait a minute, I have a question, Sakura-chan! Excuse me... Even if you really mortgage Sakura no Sato to the bank, do you still need a guarantor to guarantee you when financing?"

"guarantor?"

When Lin Xiu heard Yu Zi's question, he asked him in surprise.

"Before, my family's farm also tried to get financing from the bank, but it finally gave up because I couldn't find a guarantor who could be trusted by the bank! So... I think even if you really mortgage Sakura no Sato to the bank, it's very likely that you won't be able to borrow it. sufficient funds."

As Yuko spoke, he leaned over to everyone, and then suddenly lowered his voice and asked everyone:

"Mingmei-chan~lightnovelpub.net~ If you insist on mortgaging Sakura no Sato to the bank, I am afraid that only we can guarantee you!"

"This... I will think of other ways!"

"Eh...other methods? It won't be usury or falsifying the guarantor's information, right? That's going to go to jail!"

"me……"

Under the questioning of Lin Xiuyi and Yuzi, Sakurako didn't know how to answer for a while.

...

"Look at this, since... if you take out a loan from the bank, you can only ask us to be your guarantor. Why don't you just... let's just lend you money directly!"

"Eh?"

Hearing Yuko suddenly make such a suggestion, Sakurako was immediately speechless in surprise.

"Ah, I also have some savings on my hands, and they're in the bank anyway, so I might as well lend them to Sister Yingzi!"

When Akimi heard Yuko's suggestion, she immediately understood.

"Can you count me in if you can? By the way, I think maybe we should consult the opinions of those friends in the study meeting. I remember that Ha Sa-san works in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries!"
