This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Compared with the British magic world, the Italian magic world is more traditional and conservative.

Because of the existence of the Roman Catholic Church, wizards here can live in peace without too much contact with Muggles, let alone worrying about whether magic will be exposed.

But if no changes are made, the gap between the Italian Ministry of Magic and other countries will only get bigger and bigger.

A great opportunity is in front of us, and any decision maker who wants to make a big career will not easily refuse.

Scipio loosened his frown, "Mr. Wayne, I am very interested in our next cooperation."

Vincent, who was sitting opposite, stretched out his hand to him as if he had expected it, "Mr. Minister, I believe our cooperation this time will be very pleasant."

"Yes, I believe it too."

The handshake between the two means that Wayne Enterprises and the Italian Ministry of Magic have reached a preliminary consensus on cooperation.

As for more detailed conditions, it is not possible to negotiate in a short time.

Near noon, Scipio had lunch with the two.

Italians are particularly particular about table manners, and even their wizards are no exception.

For example, lunch must be between 1pm and 2:30pm, the appetizer must be bitter or sour, and the recipe must strictly follow the freshness and seasonality.

The cafeteria of the Italian Ministry of Magic is also very interesting. When the meal time is approaching, the house elves will move a long dining table to the small garden under the dome.

Whether they are low-level employees or high-level officials, or ordinary visitors, they will all sit at the same table to eat.

Although they will not sit alternately, the higher the level, the closer they will be to Minister Scipio's main seat.

As important guests today, Vincent and Hermione sat in the second seat on the left.

Before starting the meal, Scipio raised his glass to everyone, "Buon appetito!"

After saying that, he repeated it in English to the left, "I wish you two a happy meal."

Vincent and Hermione raised their glasses and gently clinked them with him.

The sour and astringent aperitif seemed to tell the two people's taste buds to be ready for lunch.

After taking a few bites of the appetizer, Scipio took the initiative to chat with Vincent.

"Mr. Wayne, your Gwent card is very popular here. Have you considered releasing some card sets with Italian characteristics?"

"Of course, Mr. Minister, our Gwent card plan will launch some card sets with characteristics of various countries in the future, but Italy is an important market for us, and we need to design each card more carefully."

Scipio straightened his back slightly, "Mr. Wayne, what do you think of my image?"

Vincent looked at him very seriously, "Mr. Minister, I think I need to design your cards more carefully."

"Hahaha——" Scipio laughed heartily and raised his glass to him, "Mr. Wayne, then I will wait for your good news."

"I believe I will not let you wait too long."

Italians usually like to eat and chat at the table. They think that everyone is neglecting the guests if they just eat.

But even when they are with their families, they can eat from lunch to dinner.

Eat for a while, chat for a while, rest for a while, and then continue eating. This is the most normal thing.

Hermione thought she could eat quietly, but the female senior executive of the Italian Ministry of Magic next to her started talking to her.

"Miss Granger, you have a really good taste in clothes. Do you have any tips? My husband always says that I dress old-fashioned."

Hermione quickly swallowed the ravioli in her mouth, "Mrs. Roonida, if you insist on telling me the tips, I think you should ask your husband for his advice."

Roonida smiled slightly, "Miss Granger, I think you must have a boyfriend, right?"

Hermione unconsciously glanced at Vincent on the other side, "Yes, ma'am."

"No wonder you pay so much attention to your image." Roonida's eyes were full of meaning,

"It's a pity that my husband's taste is not very good. He always likes some colorful clothes."

Hermione timidly made a suggestion, "Madam, you can actually listen to his opinions appropriately. Maybe the matching effect will be very good?"

Roonida nodded, "Miss Granger, I will seriously consider your suggestion."

The lunch while eating and chatting lasted until 3 pm.

Office hours are here again. The long dining table, along with the empty plates and empty wine glasses, disappeared out of thin air, and everyone flew back to the office area on the dome on the cylinder.

Vincent and Hermione came to the minister's office again and talked to Scipio and several senior officials about the details of the cooperation.

During this process, Vincent gave Hermione many opportunities to perform.

She also gradually became proficient in the harmonious atmosphere of the Italian Ministry of Magic, and could speak out the details of the cooperation that had long been remembered.

Scipio had a lot of things to consider. Alchemy has always been their weak point. Although they can ignore the attitude of the International Alchemy Association, the idea of ​​developing a series of innovative equipment for magic base stations may lag far behind other countries.

Hermione glanced at Vincent, and after getting his nod, she proposed a new plan:

"Wayne Enterprises can provide relevant design drawings, and you can adopt or modify them appropriately, but we need to retain the most core technology."

After a brief discussion, Scipio and other Italian senior executives decided to adopt her new plan.

Why not use the ready-made design drawings?

Of course, Wayne Enterprises is not working in vain. All equipment manufactured according to the design drawings will charge a certain licensing fee.

The ratio has been negotiated from the initial 30% to 15%. Vincent also helped in the middle, but it was mainly Hermione who negotiated.

Seeing his girlfriend becoming more and more proficient, he couldn't help but feel fortunate for his decision.

I believe that after visiting the magic governments of 27 European countries, she can grow greatly in addition to face recognition.

Nearing the evening, after the joint efforts of both parties, two copies of the magic contract finally came out.

Vincent and Scipio read it carefully, and signed their names on it after confirming that there were no omissions.

The contract officially came into effect, and everyone was finally able to relax.

Mrs. Roonida smiled at Hermione, "Miss Granger, your performance just now was really beyond my expectations."

Although she was a little stage fright at the beginning, she adapted quickly and did not look like an inexperienced novice at all.

Facing the praise from senior officials of the Italian Ministry of Magic, Hermione showed a mixed expression of surprise and uneasiness on her face.

"Madam, I'm still far from it. If it weren't for Chairman Wayne's help, I would have been stuck until now."

Her flattered look made the officials around her smile.

Although she was still a little awkward, her performance today was indeed professional enough.

Including Scipio, they all remembered this young witch from England.
