Big Capitalist

Merlin's eyes flashed with excitement. He knew what this meant. With the support of the Arcane Academy and the Aize Federation, the admission of other races was finally settled. He quickly flipped through the documents and had already begun to think about how to turn the whole thing into huge profits.

Allowing students of other races to enroll in the Arcane Academy would not only bring new vitality to the academy, but also bring in huge financial revenue.

How could Merlin be willing to accept this if he didn't make a lot of money from other races?

"Yuna, we must develop a detailed plan to ensure that we can attract more foreign students, and at the same time set their tuition fees reasonably." Merlin raised the corners of his mouth slightly and took out a document that had been prepared long ago from the drawer.

Yuna had recently learned a lot of "capital" knowledge from Merlin. She naturally moved closer to Merlin, lifted her hair, and bent down slightly, saying, "We can provide the best services in terms of food, accommodation, courses, etc., to ensure that students of other races enjoy an unparalleled experience."

"That's right!" Merlin could smell the pleasant scent emanating from Yuna, but he didn't think much about it. After all, Yuna had been working almost next to him these days.

"In terms of food, we can launch exquisite menus targeting the specialties of each race to attract their taste buds. For example, the elves' herb-baked fish, the dwarves' beer stew, the orcs' roasted whole lamb... Each dish can become our signature dish, allowing them to feel the taste of home. Of course, it is normal for the price to be a little expensive."

Yuna's eyes flashed with cunning. "As for accommodation, we can set up a luxurious foreign guest building. Not only will it provide a comfortable environment, but we can also introduce expensive magical furniture. We can divide the dormitories into different levels. The higher the level, the more expensive it will be, so as to attract students who are willing to spend more."

"Yuna, you are such a genius. What do you think about letting your Royal Chamber of Commerce design the furniture and decoration for the Foreign Guest Building?"

Naturally, he used his power to give many conveniences to those who followed Merlin.

It was the academy's public funds anyway, so it would be a waste if we didn't make some money! The research funds that were withheld plus the compensation from the Royal Chamber of Commerce were enough for the initial period, not to mention that they had squeezed a sum of money from the six empires last time. The gold coins obtained were simply an astronomical figure for Jenny, but at the same time, it also made the vice president particularly angry. To be able to come up with such a large amount of compensation, how much benefit did the six empires get from the Arcane Academy?

"What about the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce?"

"The dormitory must also have some decorations made by the Elf Master. We can just go to the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce and purchase a batch."

Merlin said indifferently, "The key point is the teachers. We have to give them some soup even if we eat meat. I heard that my actions these days have made many teachers unhappy."

Yuna asked suspiciously, "What are you going to do?"

"Ha! Naturally, we're going to offer extra lessons!"

That’s right, it’s the remedial classes on Blue Star that give countless primary, middle and high school students such a headache!

Merlin smiled evilly and said, "I plan to set up a remedial class system in the college. Teachers can apply for remedial classes from the college and explain some knowledge that students cannot learn in class during their spare time."

"Will this work? Maybe those students who want to make progress are willing to pay for it, but those who want to earn a lot of credits will definitely sign up for a lot of courses, so how can they have spare time to make up for the lessons?"

"Hey, that's wrong. Who says there are no credits for tutoring classes? What's more, can these students decide on tutoring? We directly recommend it to their parents. What parent doesn't want their children to learn more knowledge? They want their sons to become successful! I believe those nobles will be happy to pay for their children's tutoring!" Merlin laughed.

Yuna looked at Merlin in shock. This guy was really a devil. He went straight to the students' parents to ask if they could give them extra lessons, totally not caring about the students' life or death!

"I plan to adjust the curriculum and offer some special courses suitable for different races, such as magical herbalism and inter-ethnic cultural exchanges, to ensure that they can learn more knowledge and skills here. Of course, I will hint to the teachers in the academy to be as vague as possible in these non-compulsory courses. Only by taking supplementary classes can they learn the real things. As for the compulsory courses, if they dare to do so, I will make them get out of the academy!"

Listen, is this something a human being can say?

"Of course, although teachers need the approval of the management to apply for remedial classes from the college, the remedial classes must be set up in classrooms, and renting classrooms naturally requires the approval of the student union..."

Yuna stared at Merlin blankly, it turns out this cram school is a way for you to get money from the teachers!

As the plan gradually took shape, Merlin's smile became brighter. "We can use the publicity channels of the Aize Newspaper to carry out large-scale advertising promotion, showcasing the advantages and characteristics of the academy and attracting more students to sign up. As long as we use it properly, the gold coins of other races will continue to flow into our pockets."

"By the way, we can't give too many places to foreign students in the first year. The fewer the number, the easier it will be for us to raise the value..."

As soon as Merlin finished speaking, Yuna said with some concern, "Will this cause dissatisfaction among foreign races? After all, we humans don't have such restrictions, and you have even reduced the tuition fees a lot."

"On the surface, there aren't many places available for admission, but isn't it something that I can decide with a word?" Merlin smiled faintly. He had already undermined Vice Dean Jenny's power. Now, no matter what he said, Vice Dean Jenny would agree.

"On the surface? What does this mean?" Yuna seemed to have grasped the key point.

Merlin chuckled. "I will grant a certain number of foreign enrollment quotas to the chambers of commerce and forces that cooperate with our Arcane Academy. We can rely on these quotas to cooperate with other races and gain certain benefits. Well, Yuna, what do you think of me giving your Royal Chamber of Commerce 10,000 foreign enrollment quotas?"

One... ten thousand??? Yuna knew the value contained in this, and she couldn't remain calm when she heard this number.

"Isn't it a bit too much?" Yuna asked with some concern. She would naturally not refuse such a good thing.

"A lot? Not much! If each race gets a share, there won't be much left. I've always been generous to my own people." Merlin laughed. He only wanted to limit the number of admissions on the surface, which was also an explanation to the six empires. After all, the fact that foreigners were allowed to enter school had caused dissatisfaction among the six empires.
