Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

The little loli's attempt to be cute in exchange for a discount failed, and in the end she could only pouted and bought a dozen cans at the original price. Seeing that they were all relatives, Zhang Xu took a lollipop from his inventory and gave it to her as a topping.

Although the Zhang family came to the UK mainly for tourism and secondarily for business, it would be a bit outrageous if none of them were at the booth on the first day of opening. There were only employees and no bosses here.

The booth of the pharmaceutical factory was not suitable for everyone to gather together, so Zhang Xu’s grandparents were at the booth of the Basilisk Farm to watch the fun and help out.

So, when Zhang Yanao came to the booth with a blonde and blue-eyed beauty, he was surrounded by people.

"This is Ms. Hu De, the proprietress of the coffee shop in the village here." Zhang Xu hurriedly introduced, "She is here to see the goods."

Hu De on the side showed a well-trained smile. In fact, she didn't mind causing a little trouble to Zhang. If she knew that Zhang Xu's elders were here, she would hold Zhang Xu's arm. Xu's arm came over.

"Welcome, Ms. Hu De." Upon hearing that business was coming, Mr. Zhang stepped forward and welcomed him in English, "Our products are exclusive to the world and have a wide range of varieties. Zhang Xu, please introduce to Ms."

"ah?"

Zhang Xu did not expect that this task would fall on him.

At this time, the old man's voice reached his ears: "Use your beauty trick to fool people, and I will give you a kickback when the time comes."

(??￣д￣)

Khan...this is my grandpa...

Zhang Xu could only take Hu De to the booth behind the booth, and pointed to the exhibits above to introduce them.

"The basilisk meat we sell is divided into two categories, one is cold and fresh, and the other is canned."

"After killing the basilisk, the cold meat is quickly frozen to a temperature between 0 and minus 4 degrees Celsius. The storage time at minus 4 degrees Celsius is generally about ten days.

This is enough time to fly it to the UK. "

"There are many types of canned food, including braised sauce, black bean sauce, five-spice sauce, tomato sauce, curry, thick soup, etc."

"The price is negotiable. I'll give you the wholesale price. You can buy some of the same and go back to try it out."

"Can you help deliver the goods to your door?" Hood asked.

"?"

"You can't let me, a lady, carry so many things around the venue, can you?" Hu De said to the puzzled Zhang Xu.

"That's easy to say." Zhang Xu took a business card from the table and handed it to her, "If you want to help run errands and deliver things in the future, you can contact them."

"Socks Logistics?" Hood looked at the sock trademark and name on the business card and was confused, "Why did you come up with such a name?"

"Because this logistics company is made up of house elves from managers to employees, and only a few shareholders are humans." Zhang Xu explained, "Their manager is that Dobby."

"Is this okay?" Hood's eyes widened in surprise. She knew about house elves. For her, hearing that the house elves started a company was more shocking than hearing that Prince Charles would take the throne tomorrow.

"Why not?" Zhang Xu said nonchalantly, "What's so strange about being self-reliant? Those little fairies who create atmosphere for banquets, dances and other events don't make a living by renting themselves out. Performance companies formed by Veela have a better business , they opened their mouths to us lions because of the poor security conditions in the UK. It’s not surprising that house elves run transportation, and they also opened companies in the traditional housekeeping industry. "

Hood has a strong ability to accept, and he accepted this fact in less than a minute.

There are still many wizards who find it difficult to accept Dobby's opening of a company, especially those older pure-blood wizards. Even the Weasleys were reluctant to accept it at first, but Hermione finally convinced them.

Among the young wizards of mixed blood and Muggle origin, there are a lot of people who can accept it. They don't have the deep-rooted prejudices of old-school wizards, and they have dealt with house elves in the kitchen a lot over the years. In addition, letting house elves deliver things is much more reliable than owls, which makes Dobby's company Got off to a good start.

Moreover, the two companies of Sock Logistics and Sock Housekeeping are not only run by house elves. The four shareholders behind the company are all humans, which makes the wizards who oppose them feel better. It's just that the company's two public shareholders are still copying school rules in the dungeons of Hogwarts. As for the other two shareholders who did not want to be identified, one of them is currently missing, while the other simply uses this company as a channel to transfer Gringotts' private money.

During this New Year's Festival, Socks Logistics has become the only designated delivery company. Customers can use this company to transport purchased goods to their designated places in Europe. In order to build the company's brand, the only free-standing shareholder in the board of directors and the company manager unanimously decided to offer a 50% discount on door-to-door delivery fees from the New Year market.

After listening to Zhang Xu's explanation, Hood looked in disbelief at the house elf in front of him who was wearing a yellow pillowcase with red socks embroidered on the back and was loading cans into the same yellow backpack. He always felt that what this company represented was behind it. The meaning is not simple.

After she paid the house elf staff, the house elf disappeared with a "biu" sound.

A minute later, the house elf came back with a "biu" sound, and then handed a receipt receipt with a cat's paw print to Hood with both hands respectfully.

The business was finally over, and Hu De still wanted to go shopping, so Zhang Xu also left his booth with her.

"Is it your idea for the house elves to open a company?" Hood asked after receiving a flyer from a beverage company.

"No." Zhang Xu shook his head and said, "I just analyzed what industries house elves can engage in, and the person who started the operation from scratch was Hermione Granger. She invested all her property in She joined the company, and she got her first investment from Harry Potter."

"Then how much did you invest?" Hood asked.

"No comment." Zhang Xu replied, "But the investment plan she gave me was returned and revised almost ten times before I agreed to invest in this company."

"You are so strict." Hood said with a smile, and then she pointed, "Let's go to that tea shop."

Zhang Xu walked with her to the booth of a tea dealer and said at the same time: "This is necessary. Business investment cannot tolerate any sloppiness. This can be regarded as a practical lesson that I gave her. You also know that I am now I'm already starting a company. In business, I'm not like Harry Potter, who just relied on her words to take out the money. If you want to invest, I suggest you get involved as soon as possible. The analysts hired by the company are very optimistic about this market. If you don't want to have annoying negotiations with other shareholders, you can buy my shares."

Hu De covered his chest with his hands again and looked at Zhang Xu in surprise, "Since you are optimistic about this company, why are you still willing to sell your shares to me? Do you have any other plans for me?"

"Don't you understand if I have any other intentions for you?" Zhang Xu glanced sideways at her.

"I won't give you ginger and fish cakes," Hood said firmly.

"Alas..." Zhang Xu sighed and said, "I am willing to sell the shares to you because with your participation, I can make this cake bigger. Don't say you don't know, you are on guard against my level. It’s only the first level compared to a two-hole socket. It would be strange for a company in which I hold a lot of shares not to be put under the microscope by you and guard against it.”

"Who knows if you will take this as an opportunity to provoke the house elves to rebel when the time comes." Hood said in a low voice.

Zhang Xu shrugged and did not answer the question.

Just when Zhang Xu and Hu De were about to enter the tea dealer's booth, there was a burst of noise from the other side of the tent, and then many low sobbing sounds came from the other side of the tent.
