Hogwarts Homecoming

Remus has already submitted the relevant information and catalog to the Department of International Magical Cooperation for review. Now, Amosta and Remus need to elaborate on the submitted information.

The atmosphere in the conference room became solemn after a few coughs from Ms. White, and the warm smile on Marcil's face disappeared and he looked at Amosta seriously.

"Then, now we will start questioning the function and safety of the 'Morning Star Learning Machine' product submitted by Amosta Brain and Remus Lupine. Please elaborate on it."

Amosta glanced at Remus with a smile, and the latter understood, cleared his throat, and began to introduce in a slightly tight voice.

This matter has been going back and forth for almost half a year. According to the requirements of relevant parties, Remus has already submitted several versions of materials to MACUSA for review. None of the people who appeared in the conference room today No one was familiar with what Remus was talking about, and everyone knew that the problem didn't lie in the information at all.

As the narrative progressed, Rhimes's voice gradually became smoother, while Amosta, Marcille White and Truck Graves, who really decided the outcome of this review meeting, all remained silent.

An hour later, Remus, who was thirsty and tongue-tied, finally finished reading out the information he had highlighted and cast his eyes slightly expectantly at the two senior officials of the Magic Congress.

"So, is there anything else you need to add?"

Marciel asked in a serious voice.

A small commotion appeared in the conference room. Amosta, who had been sitting there like a smiling sculpture for a long time, finally recovered. He quickly glanced at the expressionless Marcil and Grevi across the conference table. Si, after weighing it in his mind for a moment, finally decided to express his thoughts arising from Nut's unintentional words.

"Ahem--"

With a slight cough, Amosta focused all eyes on himself. He smiled calmly, and his loud voice surrounded everyone's ears.

"Mr. Remus Lupine has just given you a brief overview of the product functions and safety of the learning machine. I am now here to add some considerations about the marketing model of this product in our workshop."

Marketing model?

Remus's eyes flashed with surprise. He had not been informed by Amosta before.

And Marcil's calm eyes also had some ripples due to Amosta's words.

As a person in charge of international magic trade, she is always more sensitive to the word 'marketing'.

She glanced at Trak beside her as if nothing had happened, and found that the serious-faced Trak's eyes were also floating like a pool of stagnant water.

"I believe you all already know that the learning machine, an alchemy tool of great practical value, has initially opened sales channels in various European countries. In Europe, we adopt a direct marketing model, that is, the workshop conducts external sales Publicity, and customers who are interested in purchasing place orders directly to the workshop.”

Amosta looked at the focused faces and talked eloquently.

"The original plan was that if we could pass the product review by the Magic Congress, we would adopt the same sales model in the United States. However, after these days of on-site inspections, I think this method is not suitable for the American wizarding community."

Many people showed surprised expressions, and even the light in the blue eyes of Ms. Marcil, who was in charge of international magic trade, condensed.

Could it be that, based on the resistance he has felt these days, Amosta Blaine plans to back down?

Marcil's breathing became softer, and there seemed to be a chill on his body that made Graves frown. He knew that Marcil was bound to facilitate this trade, but he did not expect that Marcil would pay attention to this. situation.

Whether it is to continue to exclude Amosta Blaine today or to allow his products to enter the American wizarding community smoothly, it is a harmless thing. The most important thing is to let Amosta Blaine leave the country as soon as possible. His condition could no longer be sustained and he had to experiment with that magic as soon as possible.

No matter from all aspects, we can no longer be entangled with Amosta Blaine because of this matter.

With his thoughts turning, Graves listened carefully to Amosta Brain's next explanation.

"Because of the existence of the common trade agreement, the import and export trade of products from European countries is much lower than the import and export tariffs charged by transactions with magical civilizations on other continents. At the same time, because of the distance, we need to pay to the Owl Post Office for delivery. The cost has always been under control.”

Amosta said calmly,

"But once the marketing business expands to magical civilizations on other continents, the proportion of these two expenses in the marketing costs will surge. Unless there is a large-scale price increase in terminal sales, our workshop's profit expectations will be greatly reduced. ”

"Mr. Blaine, what do you mean?"

Marcil narrowed her eyes, with an unpleasant tone in her voice.

"I hope that MACUSA will agree to receive special treatment in terms of tariffs when this product enters the wizarding community in the United States?"

Not only Marcille White, but all the employees of MACUSA who attended the meeting were secretly resentful and resented Amosta Brain's strength.

At present, there is no conclusion yet on whether the learning machine can be sold in the American wizarding world. Is Amosta Blaine asking for more benefits?

The suddenly unfriendly atmosphere caused cold sweat to break out on Remus' back. If he wasn't under the attention of so many eyes, he might not be able to help but wink at Amosta.

"What I'm thinking is this-"

Amosta did not return to Marcil's question, but still said calmly,

"In order to ensure the interests of a single learning machine, we can also accept the distribution model to sell the learning machine."

"Distribution?"

Marcil's heart moved, and the dissatisfaction in her eyes was reduced a lot.

"Yes, Ms. White--"

Amosta nodded and smiled.

"That is to say, our workshop accepts the recommendation from the Magical Congress of the United States and cooperates with some powerful alchemy workshops or retailers in the American magic world. As long as they pay a deposit first, they can get goods from our workshop at a relatively low price. It is then returned to the Magical Society of the United States for sale. At the same time, the transportation costs are borne by the buyer, and the customs duties are also negotiated between the buyer and the Magical Congress of the United States. "

Wow——

Before Amosta's voice could settle down, the silent conference room immediately became agitated, and the whispers were like the sound of a large group of Billywig insects vibrating their wings.

Marcelle unconsciously clenched the quill in her hand, her gentle breathing became rapid, and her blue eyes sparkled.

This was a means of conveying benefits, and Marcil saw it.

Amosta Brain transferred part of the gold that would have gone to MACUSA to some powerful families in the American wizarding world in exchange for a license to sell learning machines in the American wizarding world.

wrong!

Looking at Amosta Blaine with a slight smile on her face, Marcil suddenly woke up again.

Amosta Brain's move was not entirely a matter of "compromising", but rather a way of passing on the conflict.

No matter what the result of today's review will be, once today's review is over and the plan proposed by Amosta Brain is leaked, then the disputes between him and the Magic Congress will completely disappear, and he will no longer have to worry about studying. The issue of machine security review, because those magic families who are interested in taking a piece of this trade will step on the threshold of the Magic Congress!

Marcil understands those greedy guys. In order to grab more gold coins, they will use all means to try to 'persuade' the resistance in Congress.

Marcil knew that there had always been magic families who secretly wanted to get involved in the trade. The reason why these people exercised restraint was not because they were afraid of the Magic Congress or Graves' family, but because they were afraid of Amosta Brain himself. , but now that Amosta Blaine has taken the initiative to let go, will they still have any scruples?

Marcil pursed her lips, and unconsciously, her heart beat loudly.

Originally, she hoped to promote this trade in order to obtain political achievements. But since Amosta Blaine is willing to lose part of the profits to promote this matter, she may not be able to interfere with this part of the profits!

Faced with this situation

Marcil glanced at Trak calmly. Her capable old friend's solemn face turned pale slightly, and the hand resting on the notebook unconsciously clenched. Marcil was gloating about his misfortune.

Amosta Brain's counterattack is so sharp, Trak, how are you going to respond?
