The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts Chapter 249

"I think your request can be achieved, but you need to charge an additional modification fee." Tom actually didn't want to take Lucius' order unless Lucius added money.

"How much?"

"Two hundred Galleons, cash."

"Why don't you go grab it?" This time Lucius couldn't hold back and almost jumped up in anger.

"Because it's almost like redoing a ring, and taking only two hundred Galleons makes me feel like I'm doing charity."

Lucius took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He completely gave up the idea of ​​modification, and backhandedly took out four colorful tickets from his arms and put them on the counter.

"The contract has been completed, and we have cleared it." He put the ring back in the box and stuffed it into the deepest part of the inner pocket of the robe, keeping it in the safest place. After putting away the ring, Lucius picked up his cane and walked towards the door.

But before he could put his hand on the doorknob, the door opened. Certainly not because Tom or Mr. Penny had changed the door to a sensor door, but because there were new guests in the workshop.

There were four new guests in total. The one-eyed witch Naya and the senior Orodelix were at the head, and behind them were two gentle-looking Ministry of Magic officials wearing gold-rimmed glasses. One of the two was the secretary to the Director of Magical Law Enforcement, and the other was an assistant sent by the Office of the Minister of Magic.

The reason for these four people to come is also very simple: to talk business with Mr. Qi.

The Auror Office highly respected the anti-curse gloves and wanted to buy a batch of them, but was questioned by Pierce Sinkenis.

Borns was very optimistic about this project, so she personally sent an assistant to negotiate with Mr. Seven from the alchemy workshop together with representatives of Sinkenis and the Auror 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.

The group of four in front of him, Lucius all knew. The Ministry of Magic is not a super organization with hundreds of thousands of employees. Those are the common people. In addition, Lucius has a very leisurely job, so almost all the officials of the Ministry of Magic have him. Acquaintance - at least heard the name, you can think of his or her background the first time you meet.

This is also a compulsory course for pure blood nobles. A reckless pure-blood aristocrat has no future, and people who go around everywhere will eventually kick the iron plate one day. But Lucius is different. To most people, he has a arrogant and ignorant attitude. Before firing, he would think for a moment, and he would only speak ill of those whom he could provoke or would not have a negative impact on.

For those key figures, Lucius is still very observant and steered by the wind. This is an instinct engraved in the blood of the Malfoy family.

"Good morning, Mr. Malfoy," Monica greeted Lucius politely, "We have something to discuss with Mr. Seven here."

However, she only said that she had something to talk about, and Monica did not want to reveal the specific content of the conversation.

Lucius said a few words to her, then waved goodbye to the four of them.

After walking out of the alchemy workshop, his eyes narrowed slightly.

'Talk about things? ' He touched the ring in his arms, and combined with the Auror in the Auror's office among the people who just appeared, he probably guessed the purpose of these people: probably to discuss cooperation with Mr. Qi, and buy some magic props. ? Go back and find out how much the custom props sell for.

With this thought in mind, Lucius left Knockturn Alley.

After the foursome of the Ministry of Magic entered the alchemy workshop, they didn't say much nonsense, and went straight to the topic and started negotiations with Tom.

"This anti-curse glove has a lot of limitations. It needs to be reloaded every time after using the magic spell. What's even more outrageous is that it is still worn. In my opinion, it is not worth the price you offer." Monica sat down On the chair that Tom had conjured, he was menacing.

There was Naya's glove in front of her. She picked it up and said with a little disgust, "What's more, the spell on it is triggered manually, which is unbearable."

Tom:  …

He could see 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: You have a lot of money in the Ministry of Magic, and you still have to bargain when you buy things? You are not buying ordinary daily necessities, but cutting-edge equipment for Aurors. They are the kind of priceless treasures!

There is a selfless alchemist like me who is willing to sell you an unlimited amount of defensive magic items. You should be grateful. Why do you come to me to bargain?

The Ministry of Magic's stinginess makes Tom angry. The United States, on the other side of the ocean, never bargains when purchasing arms! They would only raise it to the congressman after the purchase was complete, so much so that the Air Force offered over a thousand dollars for a mug. Of course the supplier won't receive a thousand dollars, but don't haggle over the original price!

Tom's face sank all of a sudden~www.mtlnovel.com~ He didn't want to pay attention to Monica, but the woman was chattering: "We hope to purchase the anti-curse gloves you can provide in principle, its The performance, although mediocre and far from what we expected, met our standards and hit the pass line. However, I think you should make some concessions in terms of price, in my opinion, the group purchase price is only Don't exceed ten Galleons...I will try to persuade the department to increase the number of orders and make bulk purchases - it would be even better if after-sales service was added."

Tom rolled his eyes directly.

"Mr. Delix, I didn't expect you to come to the store today. I remember that your custom ring doesn't seem to be on time for delivery, right?" He spoke directly to Delix who was sitting beside him.

Monica: [??_???]

Delix: っ??Д??)っ

The other two: ...

Although Dulix was a little panicked, he didn't dare to ignore the alchemist's question, so he said in a low voice that he was here to act as the representative of the Aurors.

"You're lucky, your ring is ready - I've been in good shape these days, are you rich now?"

Delix was startled at first, and then felt a surge of ecstasy welling up in his heart. Just like the figurines purchased by my member purchase not only have no premium, but are also delivered on time.

"I'm going to get the money." In the past few days, Delix first found Scrimgeour, volunteered to apply for overtime, joined the security team during the World Cup, and then patched together 800 Galleons - for this reason he Also borrowed some money from Kingsley.

Seeing the appearance of Delix, Monica slammed the table: "What's going on? Are we still discussing the order for anti-curse gloves?"

Tom thumped back harder, shouting, "It's over!"
