It has to be a pure-blooded gentleman who knows how to do business.
The popularity of the alchemy shop has driven the flow of people, so we took the opportunity to open some small businesses in the surrounding areas.
A sure-profit trade.
Vincent looked up at the most conspicuous black pyramid.
Even at night, the mysterious line symbols on its surface are still bright, and it has become a landmark building in Knockturn Alley.
The glittering "Wayne Alchemy Shop" sign was floating in the air, and there were many customers standing on the invisible floating stairs next to it.
Vincent and Hermione lined up quietly behind them.
Wait a few minutes, walk through the platinum corridor, and enter the beautifully patterned metal door.
After the marble staircase is an exhibition hall with white lights and black walls, a strong contrast between light and dark.
Cecia, who was entertaining customers, quickly noticed the two of them.
A man and a woman, dressed in black robes and hoods, either hiding their identities or being dark wizards.
After saying sorry to the customer, she went straight to the central rest area where the two of them had just sat down.
"Good evening you two, how can I help you?"
Vincent revealed half of his face under the hood, "It's me."
Cecia looked at it suspiciously for several times, and suddenly she covered her mouth in surprise, "Are you... the boss?"
The changes were already huge when we met last month, so why are the changes even greater this month?
So, the lady next to him...
Hmm - it does look familiar.
Take a few more glances.
"Miss Granger?" Cecia was startled.
I'm afraid I haven't seen him for a year or two.
Vincent coughed and reminded that this was not the place to talk.
Cecia quickly calmed down and stretched out her hand politely, "You two, please come inside."
The office is underground, directly above the factory.
Xila, who was on duty, was quite puzzled until the two mysterious men took off their hoods.
He wiped his eyes and scratched his head.
Do children today grow so fast?
Is it an age-increasing agent?
But it’s not necessary.
Vincent had no intention of explaining and walked into the office door opened by Cecia.
The layout is very simple, and the long sterling silver table with ledgers neatly placed in the middle is particularly eye-catching.
He opened the account book and looked through it casually, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to take a look and set up the production line for new products."
Cecia's eyes lit up.
Alchemy products are in short supply every day, and the factory's automatic assembly line is running 24 hours a day to barely meet the demand.
In two months, the monthly turnover has exceeded 100,000 Galleons, and even if the profit margin is not high, there is a net income of nearly 20,000 Galleons.
If we add new products, our performance next month will definitely be even higher.
"By the way." Vincent put down the ledger, "Who are the people doing tricks this month?"
Xila took out a notebook, which was full of portraits and detailed information.
"There are a total of three waves of suspected foreign forces, and they have been packed up and thrown out of the UK by us.
Many people from those wizarding families came, some were talking about cooperation, and some were making small moves behind the scenes, but we all sent them away.
Dark wizards appear almost every day. Lucifer is responsible for the finishing work, and the Ministry of Magic should not be able to detect any clues.
There is no movement from the Alchemy Association, they are probably planning something."
Vincent nodded and took the list handed over by Xila.
Italy, Finland, and Austria are new faces, just like those from last month, they are all here for testing.
The cooperation invitations from the country's wizarding families are all for profit. The alchemy shop has no plans to expand globally for the time being. Greengrass and Rozier are enough to handle the current situation.
The Ministry of Magic usually does not interfere with the death or disappearance of dark wizards, as long as no traces are left.
The Archenemy Alchemy Association is keeping its composure, perhaps because it is considering next year's Cairo International Alchemy Conference.
As Christmas approached, Vincent brought out new products and gifts without saying anything in particular.
After arranging the factory's production line, he and Hermione went back directly.
Somewhere in the Scottish Highlands, two people took off their robes and hoods.
The moonlight is nice tonight, very suitable for a date.
"How is it? Is my alchemy shop okay?"
"Quite good." Hermione was in a better mood than he was.
Her smile is beautiful and has an inexplicable charm.
She is confident and calm, her eyes reveal wisdom, and her looming intellectual beauty is full of unique charm.
"You look so pretty when you smile."
A blush appeared on Hermione's face, but her eyes did not dodge, and she looked directly into his eyes, "I will smile more in the future."
The soft moonlight fell down and shone on the two of them.
Vincent was stunned, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "I made a deal, and I won't go back on it."
