Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1626 A war without a winner (seventy-six)

No wonder this beauty shop is so popular among girls.

The owner of the witch beauty shop is the best advertising sign of his shop. When everyone sees that the owner is so beautiful and the identity of the owner, they naturally believe most of them. Albert also helps to endorse this. Today’s British wizarding world The feeling about Albert is quite good.

Of course, the most important thing is that all the owners of witch beauty shops are beautiful women. There are several such cases, which makes the witches who originally followed the crowd to take advantage of it start to consider whether the products in their hands are really that good. Such a miraculous effect.

It can only be said that the operation plan provided by Albert has stepped on the hearts of girls. Spending a few galleons can make yourself more beautiful. Many girls are still willing to pay, especially the probability of winning the bet. It's still quite big, so there's no reason to give up at all.

Of course, in order to make everyone willing to pay, Albert also used many tricks.

For example, due to the decoration of the store, the space inside is not large, and the number of customers that can be accommodated is even less. The most obvious evidence is that after Hermione and her group poured into the store, it became extremely crowded.

In addition, most of the girls are willing to take advantage, register themselves for free, and wait slowly in the store, which makes it seem that the Witch Beauty Shop has a lot of customers. In fact, there are only a hundred customers in the whole day.

Then, if the limited edition products on the shelves are sold out, it will give the customers in the store a wonderful illusion that the store is very popular.

"All sold out?"

Qiu, who had no idea that she had fallen into a consumption trap, looked at the empty shelves and the "sold out" sign on her face, her face full of surprise and disbelief.

"Yes, they are all sold out. I didn't prepare too much originally, and I didn't expect it to be so popular." Katrina raised the corners of her mouth slightly, but still pretended to be helpless and said: "If you want to buy, you can first go to Book here. Well, it’s equivalent to Owl mail order. We’ll have Owl deliver the items to you at that time, but it may take a few days. As for the price, you’ll also enjoy today’s discount, of course, due to the opening event. The reason is that each person can only buy one item of each item, and the discount is only available for pre-ordering today.”

One of the reasons why relatively cheap products on the shelves are snatched up instantly is naturally due to the scarcity of supply.

It's far lower than everyone's expectations, but it doesn't matter if the quantity is insufficient. It can be pre-ordered. Seeing the row of pre-order lists, it naturally creates the illusion that the witch beauty shop is selling well.

Of course, it’s not an illusion. The products here are indeed very popular, and the girls who fell into the consumption trap obediently handed over the galleons in their wallets.

The addition of Mrs. Primpine is also one of the tricks. The beauty potion shop she runs is also famous in Diagon Alley, and the other party actually became a clerk in the witch beauty shop. This is enough to show that this witch beauty shop The value of the store.

If there is really no hope, no boss will give up his own store easily and turn around to join someone else's store as an employee.

"Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

George's voice sounded from outside the door. He had always admired Albert's generosity, and was also curious about how this store could make money.

"Although facial cleanser is relatively cheap, it needs to be used continuously to be effective." Katrina explained to everyone present, "This thing is not only used by girls, but also suitable for men."

This is very straightforward.

They are in a long-term business, so it doesn't matter if they lose a little money at the beginning. What's more, even if they cut the price in half, they won't actually lose money. At most, they will just make less labor costs.

This is another reason why many girls are willing to buy. Those who plan to do long-term business basically have confidence in their products. Otherwise, if others are deceived once, no one will want to come back again.

After all, no one is a fool, and no one wants to be treated as a fool.

Although they were very reluctant, all the girls had to admit that the owners of those witch beauty shops were all beauties, in every sense of the word.

"Can't you always bask in the sun?"

Angelina listened with astonishment to the advice given to her in English with a French accent.

"Yes, although everyone is saying that wheat-colored skin looks healthier, this is actually a helpless lie. Excessive exposure to the hot sun will damage the skin. If you don't want to age faster in the future, you need to Pay special attention to this aspect.”

Louise, who was rosy and radiant, picked up a small bottle of sunscreen and put it in front of Angelina and suggested: "If it cannot be avoided, it is best to use sunscreen on yourself, but I still recommend avoiding it as much as possible, or doing Good protective work.”

"Beauty is a lifelong thing. You can't expect to rely on some magic potion to solve your problems. If there is such a magical potion, please tell us, and we will all be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it." Kathleen said in a more serious tone The tone of voice gave Shanna her own advice, "If you don't care much about your appearance, it's enough to do some simple maintenance every day. This is also the advice we give most to most customers."

Facing the professional advice from the beautiful shop owner, the girls can feel that the other party's teaching is very practical and does not mean to fool them. The only problem is that they all find that maintaining their own skin is quite expensive, even the cheapest solution. They have to squeeze out a few galleons every month to buy the cheapest beauty package "facial cleanser and essence" to take care of their skin. As Katrina said before, they are in a long-term business.

However, the most interesting thing is Qiu’s consultation.

As a famous beauty in Ravenclaw, she was actually very curious about the changes in Isobel.

Even though Isobel was married at a young age and had children, she was still elegant, beautiful and full of charm.

In the end, Isobel recommended Katrina's book to her, and through this book, she briefly told her how to take care of her body and keep herself attractive.

When the girls finished the consultation and came out of the witch beauty shop, they couldn't help but shiver. They found that their wallets were silently deflated.

"No wonder Mrs. Primpine didn't even want to own her own shop, but came here to work as an employee." Qiu Zhang looked back at the Witch Beauty Shop with fear.

"No, I think you may have misunderstood. Mrs. Primpine is willing to come here as an employee, probably because they offered a good price."

Shanna noticed the looks from the other girls around her, shrugged and explained: "Albert has done something similar."

"Not only can you directly eliminate your competitors, but also, what will others think when they see Mrs. Primpine not even owning her own shop, but also coming here to work as an employee?" Shanna reminded, "You also You see, the products were sold out on the first day the store opened, and a bunch of people had to pay and wait for the owl mail. It was an irresistible temptation for those beauty-loving women.”

"Have any of you seen Hermione?"

Ginny asked suddenly, she realized that there was someone missing here.

"Hermione is the last one." Angelina looked back at the witch beauty shop, "Just wait, she should be out soon."

At this moment, in the witch beauty shop.

Hermione was facing the unabashed scrutiny of Albert's lovers with a stiff expression, and these impolite guys even started whispering in French directly in front of her.

Although Katherine and her friends didn't point it out directly, they obviously believed that Hermione had lowered the average level of Albert's lover. Therefore, he gave Hermione a lot of serious advice, from dressing up to combing her hair, from facial care to body management, to cultivating her temperament.

For this reason, Hermione finally came out of the witch beauty shop with a dark face and a book written by Katrina in her hand.

"This is……"

Qiu Zhang noticed the book in Hermione's hand and cast an inquiring look in surprise.

"Isobel gave it to me. She said we might be able to use it."

Hermione handed the book to Qiu Zhang, took a deep breath and said, "Go back. I regret coming here today. It was a waste of time."

"No, I feel it's worth it."

This is the sentiment of most girls, and they all feel that the advice given by the shop owners is quite reliable.

"No, I mean I was wasting my time by coming here today."

Hermione looked back at the Witch Beauty Shop, which was about to close, and told everyone to get ready to go back.

She didn't like Albert's lover, very much. Fortunately, she didn't go to the welcome dinner that night, otherwise she would have been pissed to death.
