Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

Diagon Alley, first floor of Silver Lightning Alchemy Development Company.

Although only more than three months have passed since Anduin's trip to Egypt, the internal changes in the trading company have been very great, which can almost be described as beyond recognition.

The original store on the first floor only had a space of more than 200 square meters. Even at the beginning, Anduin designated a very small area of ​​several dozen square meters as a store. Although it continued to expand later, it only used the previous space.

.

But if you enter through the gate at this time, the store that appears in front of you has at least 300 square meters of space, and it has obviously been expanded by the 'Invisible Stretch Curse'.

At the same time, the vertical space was expanded upward, so that the ceiling that was originally nearly four meters high was raised to six or seven meters high, and all of them were decorated with magic decorations and lighting.

This was Anduin's inspiration from the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center. The decoration there was so luxurious that it blinded everyone's eyes and left a deep impression on everyone who entered.

So Anduin absorbed some Egyptian decoration styles, added some features, and decorated both the ceiling and walls.

At this time, the sales area has changed even more. At first glance, it looks like an international supermarket.

Since Anduin has signed trade contracts with many foreign companies, Silver Flash Trading Company's products will be exported overseas, and many foreign props will also appear in Anduin's stores.

In addition to the alchemical props such as magic cameras and weather blankets that we have seen before, there are also many non-alchemical products or semi-alchemical products, because most of the alchemical props in the Wizarding World are basically monopolized by Egypt, and some countries

There are no alchemical products specialties.

Therefore, the Silver Flash Trading Company has magical fashions and beauty potions from the French wizarding world, drinks and magical kitchen utensils from the Italian wizarding world, and magic tents and snacks from Northern Europe.

Anduin even signed a distribution contract with a Romanian uncle who he had set up a stall with before. After all, that uncle helped him a lot at the Karahei Market. He also had a large number of magical animals such as hams, sausages, and bacon.

Category.

But seeing the way Hogg stared at these meat products every day, Anduin knew that he must not leave this guy behind when he was not at home.

In order to welcome these foreign products, Silver Flash Trading Company was specially decorated. At the same time, Anduin also reconfigured the internal area, specially created a special area for foreign specialties, and then divided and placed the products on a country basis.

Of course, our products will definitely be placed in the center and front.

In fact, selling these alchemy props in your own store is not very profitable, the profit is only 5%-10%.

Or it can't be said that it doesn't make money, but it's not as huge a profit as directly selling the alchemy tools produced by oneself. Usually the profit is around 50%, which is a lot, which makes Anduin's appetite a lot bigger.

But the most important function of introducing foreign products is to attract traffic and expand influence. You must know that this is the only international store in the UK.

In the long run, it may even become a landmark store in the British wizarding world. In fact, even now, basically all British wizards know this company.

In the future, if you ask a wizard from the UK, if he doesn’t know about Silver Flash Trading Company and has every one or two props produced by Silver Flash Trading Company, then he is definitely not an authentic British wizard!

Even because of the influence of Anduin and Silver Flash, many magic broomstick production companies and Quidditch teams in the UK want to cooperate with him.

These organizations all want to sell magic broomsticks and Quidditch merchandise in his generation.

However, Anduin still reluctantly refused this request, because this kind of behavior was really hateful. The business of other local alchemy shops was not very prosperous, and they were all the same as Quidditch stores.

If he takes away the Quidditch business, wouldn't he be pushing people to death?

In fact, even now, Ms. Primpenel next door is already very unhappy with them. Originally, one family sold alchemy tools and the other sold beauty potions. There was no conflict between the two. Even before, because of the booming business of Silver Flash Trading Company, Pu

Ms. Rimpnell's business is still doing well.

But things have changed since Anduin started the import business, because the French beauty potions sold in Silver Flash Trading Company are not only exquisitely packaged, but also of very good quality. Although they are a little more expensive, the priceiness does not mean that they are of high quality.

Ms. Primpenel is almost numb now. She can't compete with Anduin with the jerry-rigged potions she used before. This also causes Ms. Primpenel to have a look in her eyes when she sees Anduin.

No longer as amiable as before.

Therefore, in order not to harm the local business environment and cause public outrage, Andu raised the prices of imported goods a lot, and refused to accept the entry of local superior products. He only sold props produced independently by Yinshan Trading Company.

and products from partner companies.

At the same time, he also visited several alchemy shops in the UK during this period and reached an agreement with them, allowing Silver Flash Trading Company's props to appear on their counters.

Of course, their sales profit margin is very low, maybe less than 3%, and they can only sell products for civilians, and the styles are not as wide as that of Silver Flash Store.

But in view of the current reputation and international status of Silver Flash Trading Company, those alchemy shops readily agreed. After all, they can now sell magic lamps, gramophones and records, which can at least attract a lot of customers.

Moreover, such profits are not particularly small in the eyes of those shop owners. The worst they can do is raise the prices themselves, and the prices they sell are slightly higher than those of the main store. Most wizards must not have any objection.

The reason for this arrangement was that, in addition to wooing the local alchemy trading company, Anduin was mainly willing to transform Silver Flash Trading Company into a self-produced and self-sold company.

Instead, it began to be in line with the large local broomstick manufacturing companies, mainly focusing on development and production, and the retail aspect was gradually dispersed to foreign partners and other local alchemy shops.

Of course, the main store in Diagon Alley will continue to open. The props sold here must be the most comprehensive and complete, and those retail stores will sell new and high-profit products, so sales will be higher, and production will

The product categories will not become particularly complicated.

After Anduin properly arranged things in Silver Flash Trading Company, he could free his hands and head to Europe with peace of mind.

At this time, in the office behind the shop, Anduin, Hogg, Shalltear, Qiqi, Vivian and Azalea were sitting.

"Sir, are you ready?" Qiqi looked at Anduin with some anxiety, "If you take Shalltear away this time, I will be the only one left in the trading company. I am a little worried that I can't handle it.

Come."

After hearing Qiqi's words, Anduin didn't say anything. Vivian next to him rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, Qiqi, I'm not a transparent person. After they leave, won't I stay and help?"

?And there’s Azalea, there are three of us, and we can’t even take care of a shabby shop?”

"Well, that's not what I meant..." Qiqi immediately shook her head nervously after hearing Vivian's reproach, "I just... the business bank has expanded so much now, and there are still a lot of foreign businesses to deal with.

There are quite a few orders that were promised but have not been processed yet. I am afraid that I will mess up and delay your business."

"There's no need to belittle yourself, Qiqi." Anduin smiled calmly, "Besides me, you are the most familiar with the business in the firm. I am very relieved to leave it to you. When I am not around, you will be Yin Shan's management.

Sir, remember what I told you before, learn to think for yourself, didn’t you do a good job before?”

"It's my mother-in-law's fault. Since Anduin continues to hire me, I will not abandon the company!" Vivian interjected with a very thick skin.

When Hogg heard this, he glanced at her speechlessly. What does it have to do with you, Sir, talking to Qiqi? And if it wasn't because you failed to apply for a magic gossip magazine, how could you shamelessly come here and ask Sir?

Take you in.

After sighing silently, Hogg raised his head and glanced at Shalltear, "Hey, stinky bat, have you tested the sun protection on your body? Don't cry until you are covered in sun!"

"Nonsense! Do you think I'm going to make fun of my own life like this stupid dog like you?" Shalltear, who looked like a lolita, curled her lips in disdain and spat at Hogg.

At this time, Shalltear's clothes were very different from before. Although she still wore the Gothic Lolita style lace skirt, she had an extra layer of tight-fitting black stockings on her legs, and she also wore them on her hands.

Wearing a pair of long lace gloves and a small top hat with a lace sunshade on her head, she looked a little more seductive and also had a touch of mystery.

At the same time, her clothes basically wrap her whole body tightly. This is actually a sun protection combat suit specially developed by Anduin for Shalltear. It can ensure her normal activities and fights under the sun, although she is still a little exposed.

location, but will not cause adverse reactions.

"Okay, you two are quarreling, I left you here, anyway, I don't have to take you to move." Anduin glanced at the two of them, and then looked at Qiqi, "Keep an eye on the house.

Also, keep an eye on this guy Vivian, there is still a lot of food for sale in the store, don’t let her eat it secretly.”

"Hey, hey, are you a little too outrageous? I'm still here, and you just said that." Vivian glared at Anduin and said angrily.

Anduin rolled his eyes at her, and then looked at Azalea, "You should also pay attention. If you receive news from the headquarters or the evil woman, remember to contact me in time, and I may go to Northern Europe to see

Let’s see if we can rescue your sister by the way.”
