"I think your request can be realized, but an additional modification fee will be charged." Tom actually didn't want to take Lucius's order unless Lucius added money.
"How much?"
"Two hundred galleons, cash."
"Why don't you grab it?" Lucius couldn't hold it back this time and almost jumped up in anger.
"Because it's almost like redoing a ring, and charging only two hundred galleons makes me feel like I'm doing charity."
Lucius took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He completely gave up the idea of modification, took out four colorful tickets from his arms and placed them on the counter.
"The contract has been completed and we are settled." He put the ring back into the box and stuffed it into the deepest pocket of his robe, keeping it in the safest place. After putting away the ring, Lucius picked up his
took his cane and walked towards the door.
But before he could put his hand on the door handle, the door opened. Of course, it was not because Tom or Mr. Pony had changed the door into a sensor door, but because a new customer came to the workshop.
There are four new guests in total, headed by the one-eyed witch Naya and the senior Auror Lux. Behind them are two gentle-looking officials from the Ministry of Magic wearing gold-rimmed glasses. One of them is a magic law enforcement officer.
The Secretary of the Department Director, and the other is an assistant sent from the Office of the Minister of Magic.
The reason for these four people coming is also very simple: to discuss business with Mr. Seven.
The Auror Office highly praised the anti-curse gloves and wanted to purchase a batch in bulk, but was questioned by Piers Thicknesse. The two sides were in a stalemate, and finally went to Minister Bones.
Bones was very optimistic about this project, so she personally sent an assistant, along with Thickness and a representative of the Auror Office, to negotiate with Mr. Seven of the Alchemy Workshop.
"Miss Monica, I didn't expect to meet you here." Lucius knew Monica from the minister's office, so he took the initiative to say hello to her and nodded to the other three.
Lucius knew all the four people in front of him. The Ministry of Magic was not a super organization with hundreds of thousands of employees. There were just those common people. In addition, Lucius's job was extremely leisurely, so he knew almost all the officials of the Ministry of Magic.
Acquaintance - at least you have heard the name, and you can remember his or her background as soon as you meet him or her.
This is also a compulsory course for pure-blood nobles. A reckless pure-blood noble has no future. Those who argue everywhere will eventually get kicked. But Lucius is different. For most people, he
It's all a arrogant and indifferent attitude. He will think for a moment before opening fire. He will only speak harshly to those he can afford to offend or who will not have a negative impact if offended.
For those key figures, Lucius was still very perceptive and able to act according to the circumstances. This was an instinct engraved in the blood of the Malfoy family.
"Good morning, Mr. Malfoy," Monica greeted Lucius politely, "We have something to discuss with Mr. Seven here."
However, she only said that she had something to talk about, and Monica was unwilling to reveal the specific content of the conversation.
After Lucius exchanged greetings with her, he waved goodbye to the four of them.
After walking out of the alchemy workshop, his eyes narrowed slightly.
'Talk about something?' He touched the ring in his arms. Combined with the fact that among the people who just appeared were Aurors from the Auror Office, he roughly guessed the purpose of these people: they probably wanted to discuss cooperation with Mr. Seven and buy
Some magic props? You can find out how much customized props cost later.
With this idea in mind, Lucius left Knockturn Alley.
…
After the four-person team from the Ministry of Magic entered the alchemy workshop, they didn't say much nonsense and went straight to the topic and started negotiations with Tom.
"This anti-curse glove has great limitations. It has to be reloaded every time after using the spell. What's even more outrageous is that it's still worn. In my opinion, it's not worth the price you offered." Monica sat down.
On the chair that Tom conjured up, he looked menacing.
Naya's glove was in front of her. She picked it up and said with a hint of disgust: "What's more, the magic spell on it is actually triggered manually.
This is simply unbearable.”
Tom:……
He could see that the witch in front of him was looking for trouble. The fundamental purpose of making trouble was to bargain.
Tom was very speechless about this: You, the Ministry of Magic, are very wealthy, but you still have to bargain when buying things? What you are buying are not ordinary daily necessities, but cutting-edge equipment for Aurors, the kind of goods that are priceless in the market.
baby!
You should be grateful that a selfless alchemist like me is willing to sell you an unlimited amount of defensive magic items. Why do you come to me to bargain?
The stinginess of the Ministry of Magic made Tom angry. Across the ocean, the United States never bargained when purchasing arms! They would only increase the price and submit it to Congress after the purchase was completed, so that the price of an Air Force mug exceeded one thousand dollars.
Of course the supplier will not receive a thousand dollars, but don’t bargain on the original price!
Tom's face suddenly darkened. He didn't want to talk to Monica, but the woman kept chattering to the side: "In principle, we hope to purchase the anti-curse gloves you can provide. Although its performance is mediocre,
It is far from our expectations, but it is also in line with our standards and has reached the passing line. However, I think you should make certain concessions in terms of price. In my opinion, the group purchase price should not exceed ten galleons.
Wonderful...I will try to persuade the department to increase the order quantity and purchase in bulk - it would be better if after-sales service can be added."
Tom simply rolled his eyes.
"Mr. Delis, I didn't expect you to come to the store today. I remember that your custom-made ring hasn't been delivered yet, right?" He spoke directly to Delis who was sitting next to him.
Monica:[??_???]
Deluxe:っ??Д??)っ
The other two:...
Although Delis was a little panicked, he did not dare to ignore the alchemist's question, so he humbly stated that he was here to act as the representative of the Aurors.
"You're lucky, your ring is already ready - I'm in good shape these days, are you well off now?"
Delis was surprised at first, and then felt a burst of ecstasy welling up in his heart. It was like a surprise that not only did the figure purchased by his membership purchase not have a premium, but it was also shipped on time.
"I'm going to withdraw the money." In the past few days, Delis first found Scrimgeour, took the initiative to apply for overtime, and joined the security team during the World Cup. Then he scraped together eight hundred galleons - for this he
I also borrowed some money from Kingsley.
Seeing Delish's appearance, Monica slammed the table: "What's going on? Are we still discussing the order for anti-curse gloves?"
