Chapter 651 Five Years is Too Long, I Strive Only for the Present
Scheer put down her glass, and looked into Mag’s eyes as she said, “I also think that many of the policies in the Chamber of Commerce are unreasonable, and are leading the Chamber of Commerce on a descent into a dark abyss. That’s why I hope you can change the Chamber of Commerce together with me, Mr. Mag.”
“I look forward to seeing your vision come to fruition, Young Mistress Scheer. However, I won’t fire Miya just so I can join the Chamber of Commerce.” Mag shook his head in response as he continued, “Also, I don’t think I would provide much assistance to you during the upcoming election by joining the Chamber of Commerce.”
“With your cooking skills, it’s only a matter of time before Mamy Restaurant reaches the top of the Aden Square food competition rankings. In the future, there will be no restaurant that can compare to Mamy Restaurant’s influence in the Aden Square. When that time comes, you’ll be an extremely influential figure in Chaos City’s gastronomic industry. The gastronomic industry is an important constituent of the Chamber of Commerce, holding a lot of weight during the elections. Hence, it is of the utmost importance to the upcoming election.” Scheer leaned forward slightly as she looked in Mag’s eyes with a serious expression.
Mag looked at Scheer with a smile, and said, “I don’t know much about the Chamber of Commerce, but I do know that President Jeffree holds absolute control and authority over the Chamber of Commerce. If things continue like this, there’s only a very slim chance that you’ll secure victory in the upcoming election, right? In other words, you’re doing all of this in preparation for the next election, am I correct?”
“You really are a smart man, Mr. Mag.” Scheer faltered slightly upon hearing this, but then a smile quickly appeared on her face. She leaned back in her chair in a leisurely manner, and nodded as she said, “I’ll try to win the upcoming election, but my chances are admittedly very slim, so I’m mostly setting things in motion in preparation for the next election. We’re still young, yet Jeffree is already old, isn’t that right?”
“Indeed. You’re only 18, Young Mistress Scheer. Even in five years, you’ll only be 23, yet President Jeffree may not be around for that many more five-year stretches.” Mag nodded as he looked at Scheer.
In the business world, prodigies were not uncommon. In his past life, he had met many prodigies who had thrived on Wall Street even at just 17 or 18 years of age.
However, it was very rare to see someone so young with so much patience, even to the extent that they were able to bide their time and set a foundation five years in advance. Compared to those impatient and impulsive prodigies, Scheer was more like a seasoned businesswoman.
She was well aware of her strong points, and she knew how to maximize the effect of the advantages that she held.
A woman like her was very terrifying.
“Would you be willing to wait those five years with me, Mr. Mag? When that time comes, Mamy Restaurant will become the number one restaurant in the Aden Square, and all of those terrible policies will be abolished,” Scheer offered with a smile.
“Five years is too long, I strive only for the present.” Mag shook his head as he looked at Scheer before lowering his voice slightly as he said, “My cooking may not be able to influence the election much, but I have something interesting that could perhaps transform the Chamber of Commerce in a short time. Would you be interested in that, Young Mistress Scheer?”
“What are you referring to, Mr. Mag?” Scheer was still leaning back in her chair as she asked back with a smile.
“Young Mistress Scheer, you’re aware of the steam engine that Principal Hydle is developing, right?” Mag asked with a smile.
“No way!” Scheer sat bolt upright as she stared at Mag with a bewildered look.
“If I told you I possess the technology to construct a complete steam engine, would you believe me?” Mag nodded in confirmation.
Scheer continued to stare at Mag with a hint of disbelief in her eyes. However, she quickly composed herself, and nodded as she replied, “I wouldn’t believe you if you were anyone else, but I believe in you, Mr. Mag, because you’re a smart person.”
“You’re also a smart person, Young Mistress Scheer, so you should know how much of an impact the steam engine will make on this world.”
“I actually don’t know what impact it’ll have, but I have a feeling that it will change the entire world as we know it. I just didn’t think you would be the one to develop it first, Mr. Mag.” Scheer looked at Mag with a slightly complex expression.
She was the one who had made an executive decision to fund Hydle’s research, and she would meet Hydle once every quarter to listen to him deliver a report on his research progress, as well as how he envisioned the steam engine was going to be used in this world.
She didn’t know anything about mechanics, but her acute business sense told her three years ago that this was something that could change the world. If something as common as coal could be converted into a controllable form of energy, then it was very difficult to imagine how drastic a revolution the world would undergo.
The first person to master this technology would oversee this revolution, and countless opportunities would be thrown their way.
This was why she was willing to invest large amounts of funds into Hydle’s research, even though it had always been stagnant.
However, Mag was telling her that he had already mastered this technology, which came as a massive shock to Scheer.
“Principal Hydle gave me a lot of inspiration, but I completed this steam engine prototype on my own. If I want to promote the steam engine, my best option would be to cooperate with either the city lord’s castle or the Buffett Family.” Mag nodded in response. Scheer’s reaction told him that she already understood the importance of the steam engine, which saved him a lot of explaining. As such, he continued, “I already have some ideas about the practical application of steam engines. If you have some time on your hands at some point, perhaps you can listen to my ideas.”
“Tomorrow is fine for me. I want to see the steam engine that you’ve created, is that ok?” Scheer immediately asked.
“That’s fine. You can come to my restaurant tomorrow at the conclusion of the breakfast service, Young Mistress Scheer.” Mag was slightly taken aback by Scheer’s eagerness, but he still nodded in response.
“I trust that this will be an interesting collaboration.” Scheer raised her glass.
“My thoughts exactly.” Mag gently clinked his glass with Scheer before taking a sip of red wine.
Right at this moment, Vivian’s voice suddenly sounded. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m Vivian. If everyone could spare some of your time and attention, I would like to invite Teacher Luna of Chaos School onto the stage to share some stories with you all.”
Mag turned in the direction the voice had come from with a slightly surprised look. On a tall platform set up within the banquet hall, Vivian handed over what appeared to be a microphone to Luna before jumping off the stage.
The banquet hall gradually fell silent as everyone turned their attention to Luna.
A beam of light shone down on her, and her light green dress coupled with her delicate features made her appear very amiable and likable.
Luna looked down at the pairs of eyes focused on her and hesitated momentarily. Her gaze then fell on Amy, and she suddenly thought of all of the pairs of bright and expectant eyes that looked up to her every day. She stepped forward, and said in a clear voice, “I’m a teacher of Chaos School, and I’m also one of the normal people who give food to the homeless kids on the streets of Chaos City every day. Those kids call me ‘Teacher Luna’, just as my students at Chaos School do...”
