The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

v3 Chapter 250: broken negotiations

,!

Monica was taken aback by Tom's aura, she didn't expect Tom to dare to yell at her.

"What are you talking about? Mr. Seven, I remind you very seriously that I represent the Ministry of Magic!" Monica said angrily.

"No!" Tom stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Monica, "You only represent yourself, and the breakdown of today's negotiations is entirely your responsibility."

Monica:?

"Do you know who the person in front of you is?" Tom stared into Monica's eyes seriously, "I am an alchemist, and I am an alchemist who can refine defensive magic items. You are an alchemist who can refine defensive magic items and is willing to half sell them to the Ministry of Magic at a very low price, and what is your attitude towards me?"

Tom decided to separate the arrogant and indecisive guy in front of him from the Ministry of Magic, so that she could not do anything wrong in the name of the Ministry of Magic.

In many cases, being in a huge group will give people an illusory sense of security, and make the originally small individual become domineering because of taking advantage of the general trend of the group. When some people suddenly gain power—even if it's just as small as a fingernail, they will get carried away, be dazzled by this power, and act very irrational, unreasonable, and disgusting.

Faced with this kind of crazy person, the simplest coping strategy is to separate him or her from the group, let them realize that they cannot represent the group behind them, and their behavior is to pay the price themselves, not That collective is responsible for the actions.

Before Tom took Monica out, it was Tom who was talking to the Ministry of Magic, and the breakdown of the negotiation was that the arrogant alchemist refused to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic. But after Tom stripped Monica from the Ministry of Magic as a whole, the negotiations between the kind-hearted alchemist and the senior Ministry of Magic who cared about his subordinates were disrupted by a small assistant.

The alchemist was right, the Ministry of Magic was right, it was all the assistant's fault!

The Ministry of Magic will not fire assistants—the job in the Ministry of Magic is an iron rice bowl, and Bertha Jorkins is such an outrageous guy. That's the end of political life.

"Of course I am willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic, but with you as the representative, I don't think there is any need for this negotiation to continue!" Tom grabbed the table in front of him, flipped it over, and let the quill on it , inkwell, parchment scattered on the ground.

Tom glanced at the four stunned people in front of him, and said word by word: "You should understand the preciousness of defensive magic items—Mr. Lucius Malfoy ordered a similar magic item from me just now. A total of 800 Galleons! Although the curse-proof gloves have reduced most of their performance, what is the difference between the asking price of 20 Galleons and free gifts?!"

"Masters of the Ministry of Magic, can you still find a second alchemist who is willing to refine magic items at this price?" He bent down, picked up the glove that fell on the ground, and dusted the dust on it , and handed it to Naya.

How can I say that this glove was paid for by others, and it is my guest, so it deserves a little preferential treatment.

"Can't you find it? How many alchemists are there in Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley?" Tom smiled contemptuously, "It's you who should correct your attitude!"

After saying these words, the four members of the Ministry of Magic were speechless, and Dawlish and Naya bowed their heads in embarrassment - Tom's words made them ashamed. They who are on the front line understand how much benefits a piece of anti-curse gloves can bring. The price offered by Mr. Qi is already extremely favorable, and they really don't have the face to bargain.

As for the representative of Director Shinkenis, he looked like he had nothing to do with himself. He knew too well the position of himself and the director behind him. After the Minister of Magic got involved, he and the Director had lost their say in the matter. To jump too far on the matter would certainly attract the attention of Minister Burns, which Mr. Thicknesses did not want.

But it just so happened that his low-key attitude allowed him to escape successfully.

Monica's entire face flushed red. She didn't expect that she just remarked casually and instinctively paid back the price, which would cause such a strong backlash.

When she was in charge of international trade before, she never encountered such a situation! Those merchants were all polite to her, but how did she become like this when she came to this alchemist?

I bargain, you can talk to me, why do you have to yell at others?

The former Monica represented the British Ministry of Magic, so her various outrageous behaviors were covered by the behemoth behind her. The suppliers who negotiated with her hated her because they wanted something from the British side. I have to hold back my smiling face until today.

Today Monica is facing someone who just doesn't need it. In other words, before Monica played Party A, today she is Party B. Magic items are a seller's market, and she has no negotiation capital at all! Burns sent her here for many purposes: delivery time, purchase volume, type, whether group buying offers discounts... Bargaining is definitely at the bottom of the list.

She put the cart before the horse.

The more Monica thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Cried? Tom was a little surprised. Is the special agent's psychological quality so poor? They came in through the back door!

"You are really not suitable for negotiation." Tom looked at the other three, "Go back and report to your leader, just say please send someone with a clear mind. Also, Mr. Dawlish, you can prepare to pick up the goods."

Several people left their seats ~lightnovelpub.net~ and prepared to leave through the gate.

"If you want a passively triggered magic item that doesn't need to be reloaded, is not afraid of wear and tear, fine!" Seeing Monica's "it's not me, it's the world" look, Tom still couldn't hold back, stood up and sneered One sentence, "add money! Two hundred Galleons, there is no upper limit, you are satisfied."

Monica staggered, covered her face and ran out of the gate of the alchemy workshop.

Dawlish and Naya fell behind, relatively speechless. In the end, it was Dawlish who complained: "Is the current assistant minister so unprofessional?"

"I have a good father, who came to the minister's office for gold plating. Minister Burns never thought that this kind of negotiation would be messed up by her..." Naya was also speechless. Today was a waste of time. She looked at Germany. Lux: "You'd better go to Gringotts to withdraw money on the way, you won't return empty-handed."

Dawlish showed a smile, bid farewell to his companions, and went to Gringotts to withdraw money alone. A quarter of an hour later, he rubbed a ring with joy and returned to Naya.

This ring that made him emptied his savings, can be regarded as his hand!

Good night, or good morning.
