Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 449 Guiding Magic Glue (ask for monthly ticket recommendation)
Sebastian was very candid with Gerard's explanation and came straight to the conclusion.

And this is not out of Gerrard's original expectation, "It seems that 'Golden Snidget' is the key, we can consider starting from him."

"Among you old people, he is the most loyal to the leader, and he is your former brother, can you really do it?" Sebastian is still not 100% sure of Gerald's position. , or he is not sure whether Gerrard's current position is temporary, and the other party is really hot-headed and can do anything.

"You don't need to worry about this!" Gerald glanced at the other party coldly, "You should pay attention to me at any time now, and once the headquarters contacts you, no matter whether it is the Golden Snidget or the Rune Snake, remember to send me Give me a copy of the information!"

"Understood." Sebastian was not surprised by Gerrard's strength. His teacher has always used this tone to talk to others, and whoever makes others strong, can't he admit he is cowardly if he can't beat him? ?

After Gerrard got everything he wanted from Sebastian very roughly and efficiently, he stood up slowly and disappeared into the room without saying hello.

Seeing this, Sebastian and Martin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Thunderbirds put too much pressure on them. The previous cooperation was not so much persuading Sebastian as it was persecution.

But Anduin, who left Gerald behind, felt very relaxed at this moment.

"I didn't expect Thunderbird's identity to be so easy to use. You don't need to beat around the bush. You can be reckless when you come up. It seems that in the future, if you don't want to be reasonable, you can use Gerald's face to deal with it."

Anduin sneered slightly, and then dug out the materials he had collected.

The next thing Anduin has to do is two things.

First, study these materials, find out the loopholes in the headquarters of this organization, research and modify the original faceless mask, and it is best to use this to strengthen his mask tracker.

Second, complete the refining of the bloodline. Only in this way can he fully inherit Thunderbird's mask and view the information and contacts in the opponent's mask.

After finishing all this, he can use the identity of 'Thunderbird' to contact the silver spear and those members scattered all over the place.

However, it can't be completed in a short period of time, and the next step is to complete the Egyptian walk first. Fortunately, he and the Sphinx said hello, and the reappearance of Anduin will not cause the silver spear to change.

As for whether his connection with Sebastian will be leaked, Anduin is not too worried. Based on what he has learned about the Silver Spear during this period of time, the people in this organization are not so much hiding their identities. Rather, it is a lack of basic trust between each other.

So even if the Sphinx doesn't trust him, he won't reveal his affairs, and it doesn't matter even if it is leaked. Spear, take his place.

After making a plan, Anduin returned to his original self and returned to the hotel.

As soon as he came back, Bianca approached him. Now that the three-day alchemy conference has ended and the trade agreement has been re-signed, Bianca is also here to discuss related matters.

"Anduin, what have you been up to these two days? You probably signed an extra contract with a master alchemist." Bianca looked at the young man in front of her with a smile. Now Anduin is a member of the British Ministry of Magic. He wished that the other party's business would spread all over the world.

Anduin felt a little speechless towards the impatient Bianca, and then shook his head helplessly, "The distribution contract is not so easy to sign, and the trade relationship with the local alchemist in Egypt is mainly due to you and Professor Burns. Leading and guaranteeing, I have to review merchants in other countries, otherwise what if I am cheated."

"In the past two days, I have been researching and inspecting local alchemy tools. There are a lot of alchemy products here, which can provide me with some inspiration for developing new products. Maybe after a while, new alchemy equipment will come out here. Oh, and it’s still a summons, so you can look forward to it.”

Anduin also looked at Bianca with a smile, but he didn't completely deceive her. In addition to following the Sphinx, he also visited Karahei for a long time, during which time he collected a lot of alchemy materials and materials.

In fact, to put it bluntly, he bought a lot of alchemy props and alchemy books that he had never seen before.

Anduin didn't lie about the new product. After researching the mask of the silver spear before, he used it to develop a prop that can make long-distance calls. He used this to communicate with Hogg before.

It's just that this new item is expensive to make, so Anduin has been looking for ways to reduce the cost, but in the information Sebastian gave him before, he found a material with lower cost and better effect , a man-made material named 'Magic Glue'.

In other words, he has learned the production process of 'Magic Glue'. I have to say that Egypt's alchemy is really rich. This material only needs to use some common magic alloys, and then add magical animal oils and magic plant secretions. things can be synthesized.

This synthesis method is quite unscientific in Anduin's eyes, but it is very magical, and of course it is also practical. At the same time, Anduin has seen the actual material of this material, which is the mask used by the silver spear.

The production cost of this material is not cheap to be honest, but since the material is not an alloy monopolized by goblins like Iser Mithril, it is not very expensive, and if it is made bigger than bean sprouts In the case of wireless earphones, the profit margin of that 'communication earphone' is quite high.

"Really?" Bianca became excited again when she heard that Anduin had a new product coming out, "I can't wait."

Seeing that Bianca was excited like a child at this moment, Anduin couldn't help but look at him amusedly. It seems that the profits from a large amount of tariffs made these Ministry of Magic officials not calm down.

"By the way..." Anduin suddenly thought of something, "How is the trade negotiation this time, how many trade quotas have we opened up?"

This is related to the next foreign trade of Silver Flash Trading Company. He was busy killing people and setting fires before, so now he has time to understand clearly.

In fact, it seems that the trade agreements of the Ministry of Magic of various countries are all information with a high level of confidentiality. After all, it is necessary to prevent people from using power for personal gain.

But Anduin is different. Originally, the British wizarding world was quite clumsy in terms of trade. Finally, the products of Silver Flash Trading Co., Ltd. were so popular. tailor-made.

And talking about this, Bianca is not sleepy, "In the beginning, we only planned to increase the annual trade quota by 3 to 5 galleons, but the distribution agreement you reached with those alchemy masters gave us a lot. Great confidence."

"After all, the transaction confirmed at the scene alone is close to 8 Galleons. If we count the tactical equipment directly sold by the Ministry of Magic, we estimate that it can be close to 10 Galleons. This is only a country in Egypt, although Egypt is the entire wizarding country. It is a major trading country in the world, but it obviously also sends a powerful signal to other wizarding countries!" Bianca shouted a little excitedly, as if he earned the money.

"So? What's the final quota?" Anduin felt that Bianca was a little too excited. Why do you say that there is so much and nothing? Just report the number. I have to rely on these numbers to arrange production and production. Add a lathe.

"Let's do the math, even if you consider your order in Egypt as a one-year order, and count 'France', 'Italy', 'Germany' and other European countries with developed trade, at least it must be in that Basically tripled, and our estimate may be more optimistic, so we finally signed a quota of 50 Galleons! This is equivalent to doubling the UK's annual trade quota!"

This trade negotiation was almost like a big adventure for Bianca, so he was very excited and a little nervous at the same time.

"50?"

Anduin frowned slightly when he heard about it. In his opinion, the British Ministry of Magic is still a little too conservative, because the new products in his hands are in the highest demand when they first enter the market in the first year, because no one has seen them. However, early adopters impulsive consumption will account for the majority.

It's like in the era without household appliances, a radio suddenly appeared, and families with conditions would try to get one.

And when the market is familiar with the product and becomes saturated, sales will slow down. After all, alchemy props are not consumables. After having one at home, even if a new product is released, many wizards will still consider the cost of the family and not replace it. .

Although Anduin specifically limited their lifespan, it would take several years before trying to replace them.

In addition, when his products become popular, pirated copies and imitations will definitely appear, but Anduin has long been prepared for this.

The prices of all his alchemy props are inflated, and the premium is very serious. This is what he prepared for future price wars.

When piracy starts to appear in the future, he will carry out a diving price reduction, directly by 10%-20%. At that time, no other alchemy workshop can withstand his impact, because he does not need to consider labor costs for the production of alchemy props , the cost is inherently low.

Coupled with the uniform quality and specifications, it is easy to grab the market back, and he has already taken these into consideration.

Therefore, after the opening of foreign trade, the first two years will definitely be the peak sales of the product, and the sales will gradually level off as time goes on, and will decline after piracy occurs, and after he starts the price war, the sales will rebound again.

This is Anduin's assumption and inference, so the trade quota of 50 in the first year was still a bit low. He had already greeted Bianca before the negotiation, telling him to be bold, don't be afraid, but obviously He overestimated the opponent's basic guts.
