The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts
v3 Chapter 249: It has ended
"I think your request can be fulfilled, but an additional modification fee is required." Tom actually didn't want to accept Lucius' order unless Lucius added money.
"How much?"
"Two hundred Galleons, in cash."
"Why don't you go grab it?" Lucius didn't hold back this time, and almost jumped up in anger.
"Because it's almost like redoing a ring, charging only two hundred Galleons makes me feel like I'm doing charity."
Lucius took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He completely gave up the idea of modification, and took out four colorful tickets from his pocket with his backhand and put them on the counter.
"The contract has been completed, we are settled." He put the ring back into the box and stuffed it into the deepest pocket of the robe, keeping it in the safest place. After putting away the ring, Lucius picked up his cane and walked out the door.
But before he could put his hand on the doorknob, the door opened. Of course it wasn't because Tom or Mr. Pony changed the door to a sensor door, but because a new guest came to the workshop.
There were four new guests, the first was the one-eyed witch Naya and the senior Auror Rhodes. Behind them were two gentle-looking Ministry of Magic officials wearing gold-rimmed glasses. One of the two is the secretary of the Director of Magic Law Enforcement, and the other is an assistant sent by the Office of the Minister of Magic.
The reason for these four people to come is also very simple: to discuss business with Mr. Qi.
The Auror office highly respected the anti-curse gloves and wanted to buy a batch in bulk, but was questioned by Piers Thicknesse.
Burns was very optimistic about this project, so she personally sent an assistant to negotiate with Mr. Seven of the Alchemy Workshop together with representatives from Thickness and Auror's office.
"Miss Monica, I didn't expect to meet you here." Lucius knew Monica from the minister's office, so he took the initiative to greet her and nodded to the other three.
Lucius knew all of the group of four in front of him. The Ministry of Magic is not a super organization with hundreds of thousands of employees. Those are the common people. In addition, Lucius's job is extremely leisurely, so almost all the officials of the Ministry of Magic Acquaintance—at least you have heard the name, and you can think of his or her background as soon as you meet.
This is also a compulsory course for pure-blood nobles. A reckless pure-blood nobleman has no future, and a person who goes around everywhere will eventually be kicked to the iron plate one day. But Lucius is different. He has an arrogant and ignorant attitude towards most people. Before firing, he will think a little bit, and only those who he can provoke or will not have negative effects after provoking, he will speak ill.
For those key people, Lucius is still very able to observe the situation and act according to the wind, which is an instinct engraved in the blood of the Malfoy family.
"Good morning, Mr. Malfoy," Monica greeted Lucius very politely, "We have something to discuss with Mister Seven here."
However, she only said that she had something to discuss, and Monica was unwilling to disclose the specific content of the conversation.
After Lucius exchanged pleasantries with her, he waved goodbye to the four of them.
After walking out of the alchemy workshop, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
'Talking about things? He touched the ring in his bosom, and combined with the Auror from the Auror Office among the people who just appeared, he probably guessed the purpose of these people: probably they want to discuss cooperation with Mr. Seven and buy some magic props ? You can find out how much the customized props sell for later.
With this in mind, Lucius left Knockturn Alley.
…
After the four members of the Ministry of Magic entered the alchemy workshop, they didn't say much nonsense, and went straight to the topic to start negotiations with Tom.
"This anti-spell glove has great limitations. It has to be reloaded after each use of the spell. What's even more outrageous is that it is still worn out. In my opinion, it is not worth the price you offered." Monica sat down On the chair Tom conjured up, menacing.
There was Naya's glove in front of her. She picked it up and said with a little disgust: "What's more, the magic spell on it is triggered manually, which is simply unbearable."
Tom: ...
He could tell that the witch in front of him was here to find fault. The fundamental purpose of finding fault is to bargain.
Tom was very speechless about this: Your Ministry of Magic is rich and powerful, and you have to bargain for things you buy? What you buy are not ordinary daily necessities, but cutting-edge equipment for Aurors, the kind of priceless treasures!
There is a selfless alchemist like me who is willing to sell you unlimited defensive magic items, you should be grateful, why come to me to bargain?
Tom is furious that the Ministry of Magic is stingy. The United States on the other side of the ocean never bargains when purchasing arms! They will only increase the price to the Lord Congress after the purchase is completed, so that the price of a mug from the Air Force exceeds a thousand dollars. Of course the supplier won't receive a thousand dollars, but don't bargain over the original price!
Tom's face sank all of a sudden. He didn't want to talk to Monica, but this woman was chattering on the side: "We would like to purchase the anti-spell gloves you can provide in principle. Although its performance is mediocre and far from our expectations, it is also It meets our standards and has reached the passing line. However, I think you should make some concessions in terms of price. In my opinion, the group purchase price list should not exceed ten Galleons...I will try to persuade the Ministry to increase The volume of orders, buying in bulk—it would be even better if you could add after-sales service.”
Tom rolled his eyes directly.
"Mr. Dalis, I didn't expect you to come to the shop today. I remember that the delivery time for your customized ring hasn't arrived yet, right?" He directly talked to Dalis who was sitting beside him.
Monica: [??_???]
Dawlish: っ??Д??)っ
The other two: …
Although Dawlish was a little panicked, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com did not dare to ignore the alchemist's question, so he humbly stated that he was here to act as the representative of the Aurors.
"You're lucky, your ring is ready—I'm in good shape these days, are you well-off now?"
Dawlish was startled at first, and then felt a burst of ecstasy welling up in his heart. It's like the surprise that the figures purchased by my members are not only free of premium, but also delivered on time.
"I'm going to get the money now." These days, Dawlish first found Scrimgeour, volunteered to work overtime, joined the security team during the World Cup, and then made up 800 Galleons by scraping together—for this reason, he also paid for it. I borrowed some money from Kingsley.
Seeing Dawlish's appearance, Monica slammed the table: "What's going on? Are we still discussing the order for anti-spell gloves?"
Tom beat back harder, and he shouted: "It's over!"
