Chapitre 634: Presentation
On the third day after confirming the effectiveness of the new incense, Steven called Yuga to inform him that the representatives from the school were already on the way to Verdanturf Town.
This noble Pokémon Trainer school, known as the Trust Comprehensive Trainer Academy, was located in Rustboro City. It was a specialized institution that encompassed everything from beginner to advanced Trainer education. Whether one was a traditional Trainer, a Coordinator, a Breeder, a Pokémon Doctor, or a professional Referee, this school welcomed students of all specialties. Overall, this comprehensive academy had gained a good reputation within the Hoenn region.
Naturally, such a prestigious school came with exorbitant tuition fees, earning it the reputation of a school for the elite.
On the morning of the second day after receiving Steven's call, a young man and woman from the Trust Academy arrived at the YoYo Day Care. After verifying their identities, Yuga welcomed them into a meeting room within the Day Care.
The man, who appeared to be in his early thirties, was the one in charge. His name was Ferreira, and he served as the head of the Academy's Logistics Department.
Ferreira was tall and well-built, dressed in a black suit with a tie. His neatly combed hair was swept back, and he had a stern expression, giving him an air of precision.
Despite his serious appearance, Ferreira was not difficult to get along with. He was polite and carried himself with a demeanor befitting a representative of a prestigious school, exuding a teacher-like quality.
The woman that come with him was much younger, around twenty years old. According to Ferreira's introduction, she was his assistant named Isa. However, Yuga suspected that Isa was relatively new to her role. She appeared extremely nervous, following closely behind Ferreira and rarely speaking.
Upon entering the meeting room, Yuga invited both of them to take a seat. Almost immediately, Audino, brought in some tea. Ferreira got straight to the point, saying, "Let's skip the formalities. Let's see what you have."
Yuga nodded in agreement and gestured to Audino, who, after understanding the cue, left the meeting room.
Before long, Audino and Wigglytuff each entered with a tray. On the trays were neatly arranged porcelain boxes of various colors, each containing a different type of incense.
Audino placed the tray in front of Ferreira, while Wigglytuff set the tray in front of Isa.
Yuga made a gesture, saying, "Feel free to look. We hope that the quality of our incense here at the YoYo Day Care will meet the Trust Academy's satisfaction."
Ferreira nodded in acknowledgment to both Yuga and Audino, saying, "Thank you."
Isa, who was sitting beside him, noticed their exchange and hurriedly whispered a thank you to Wigglytuff.
Ferreira picked up one of the incense boxes and carefully smelled it. As the Head of Logistics at the Trust Academy, he had experience with a wide variety of incenses and could easily discern the quality of each.
Without a doubt, the incense before him was of top-notch quality. Whether it was the materials used or the craftsmanship, there was nothing to fault.
Setting down the box he had examined, Ferreira turned to Isa, who was still daydreaming. He shot her a reproachful look, clearly frustrated with her lack of attentiveness.
Isa blushed when she snapped back to reality and hastily followed Ferreira's example, picking up one of the incense boxes and taking a sniff.
However, it was apparent that Isa lacked Ferreira's discerning eye. Other than finding the contents of the box pleasantly fragrant, she couldn't differentiate much else.
Seeing Isa's response, Ferreira shook his head in resignation, no longer paying her much attention. He proceeded to pick up the next type of incense.
After conducting their examination, Ferreira was confident that the incenses before him were no different from those shown to them by Steven. Nevertheless, he remained cautious and asked, "May I light one to try it out?"
Yuga smiled and replied, "Of course."
After speaking, Yuga instructed Audino to bring two incense burners and placed them in front of Ferreira and Isa.
Yuga, though aware that the young lady across from him was pretending to be knowledgeable, chose to ignore it. He had Audino prepare a burner for her as well. Yuga had everything prepared; he saw no reason to let the young lady lose face.
Ferreira opened the blue porcelain box, took a small wooden spoon from the tray, and placed some incense into the burner. He then lit it. Before long, a gentle wisp of smoke filled the room, carrying a unique and refreshing fragrance.
Ferreira had chosen the Wave Incense, which had a subtle scent of seaweed that was not fishy but rather natural and fresh. Soon, the air in the meeting room began to feel slightly humid, a result of the Wave Incense's gathering of water-type energy.
Impressed by the special aroma filling the room, Ferreira was highly satisfied with the incense from the YoYo Day Care.
After Ferreira tried the Wave Incense, Isa used her burner to test the Rock Incense. Ferreira, too, was pleased with its quality.
Ferreira didn't test the remaining types of incense one by one, as using one incense burner would interfere with the effects of another. Mixing scents would not only nullify their effects but also produce unpleasant odors.
Yuga asked, "How is it, Mr. Ferreira? Are you satisfied?"
Ferreira took a deep breath and nodded. "Very satisfied. Can Mr. Shimzu guarantee that the goods provided to us will always be of this quality?"
Yuga smiled and replied, "Of course. Honesty is crucial in business, and I have no reason to deceive you. I rely on you to make a profit."
Ferreira, rarely showing a smile, was appreciative of Yuga's honesty. "In that case, we can proceed to sign the supply agreement."
As long as the quality of the goods was good, everything else was manageable for Ferreira.
Yuga agreed, "Signing the supply agreement is not a problem. However, we have even higher-quality incense available. Would Mr. Ferreira like to take a look?"
Yuga didn't rush to accept their offer but instead dangled a tempting offer.
"Higher-quality incense?" Ferreira exclaimed in surprise. He had just seen one of the best batches of incense among those he had encountered. He couldn't believe they had something even better.
Yuga nodded, saying, "Not only is it of higher quality, but it also has unique effects that ordinary incense lacks."
"Oh?" Ferreira's interest was piqued. "If that's the case, we certainly wouldn't want to miss out."
Ferreira was genuinely interested in the incense with special effects that Yuga mentioned.
Yuga felt a sense of satisfaction hearing this. The reason he didn't immediately present the new incense was to create a comparison with the regular incense, allowing him to sell the new incense at a higher price. The incense from the YoYo Day Care was already of better quality than what was available elsewhere, so the newer, superior incense deserved an even higher price.
