Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 455 Big Change (Seeking Monthly Ticket Recommendation)
Diagon Alley, the first floor of Silver Lightning Alchemy Development Company.

Although it has only been more than [-] months since Anduin's trip to Egypt, the interior of the firm has changed a lot now, and it can almost be described as beyond recognition.

The original storefront on the first floor only had a space of more than [-] square meters. Even at the very beginning, Anduin specially set aside a very small dozens of square meters as a store. Although it continued to expand later, it only used the previous space. .

But if you enter through the gate at this time, the storefront that appears in front of you has at least [-] square meters of space, which is obviously expanded by the 'Untraceable Stretching Curse'.

At the same time, the vertical space was expanded upwards, so that the ceiling that was originally nearly four meters high was raised to six or seven meters high, and all of them were decorated with magic decorations and lighting.

This is Anduin's inspiration from the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center. The decoration there is not unreasonably luxurious, it blinds everyone's eyes and leaves a deep impression on everyone who enters.

So Anduin absorbed some Egyptian decoration styles, added some features, and decorated the ceiling and walls.

At this time, the sales area has changed even more, and it looks like an international supermarket at first glance.

Since Anduin has signed trade contracts with many foreign companies, the products of Silver Flash Trading Company will be exported overseas, and many foreign props also appear in Anduin's stores.

In addition to the alchemy props such as magic cameras and weather blankets that I have seen before, there are also many non-alchemy products or semi-alchemy products, because most of the alchemy props in the wizarding world are basically monopolized by Egypt. There is no alchemy item specialty.

Therefore, there appeared magic fashions and beauty potions from the French wizarding world in Silver Flash Trading Company, drinks and magic kitchen utensils from the Italian wizarding world, as well as magic tents and snacks from Northern Europe.

Anduin even signed a distribution contract with the Romanian uncle who had set up a stall with him before. After all, that uncle helped him a lot at the Kara Black Market, and he also appeared in a large number of magical animals including ham, sausage, and bacon. Category.

But seeing Hogg staring at these meat products every day, Anduin knew that he must not keep this guy when he was not at home.

In order to welcome these foreign products, Silver Flash Commercial Bank also specially renovated it. At the same time, Anduin also reconfigured the internal area, specially set up a special area for foreign products, and then divided and placed the products by country.

Of course, their own products will definitely be placed in the center and front.

In fact, selling these alchemy props in their own store is not very profitable, and the profit is only 5%-10%.

Or it can't be said that it doesn't make money, but it's not as profitable as selling the alchemy props it produces directly. Usually, the profit is around 50% and it makes a lot of money, which makes Anduin's appetite a lot bigger.

But the most important role of introducing foreign products is to attract traffic and expand influence. You must know that this is the only international store in the UK.

In the long run, it can even become a landmark store in the British wizarding world. In fact, it is now that almost all British wizards know this company.

In the future, if you ask a wizard who was born in England, if he doesn't know the Silver Flash Trading Company, and if he has every item or two produced by the Silver Flash Trading Company on his body, he must not be an authentic British wizard!

Even because of the influence of Anduin and Silver Flash, many magic broom production companies and Quidditch teams in the UK hope to cooperate with him.

These organizations all want to sell magic brooms and Quidditch peripherals on his behalf.

But for this request, Anduin reluctantly refused, because such behavior was too hateful. Originally, other local alchemy firms were not doing well, and all of them were like Quidditch stores.

If he snatched the Quidditch business again, wouldn't he want to drive people to death?

In fact, right now, Ms. Primpernell next door is already very upset seeing them. Originally, one sells alchemy props and the other sells beauty potions. There is no conflict between the two. Ms. Rimpernell's business is still a little brighter.

But since Anduin started the import business, it's different, because the French beauty potions sold in Silver Flash Trading Company are not only beautifully packaged, but also of very good quality. Although it is a bit expensive, does expensive mean quality?

Ms. Primpernell is almost numb now. She can't compete with Anduin by relying on the potions that cut corners before. Not as friendly as before.

Therefore, in order not to hit the local business environment too much and cause public outrage, Andu raised the prices of those imported goods a lot, and did not accept the entry of local superior products. He only sells the props independently produced by Silver Flash Trading Company. and products of partner companies.

At the same time, he also visited several alchemy shops in the British mainland during this period of time, and reached an agreement with them, allowing the items of the Silver Flash Trading Company to appear on their counters.

Of course, their profit from consignment sales is very low, maybe less than 3%, and they can only sell goods for ordinary people, and the styles are not as many as those in Silver Flash Trading Company.

But in view of the current reputation and international status of Silver Flash Trading Company, those alchemy shops readily agreed. After all, they can also sell magic lamps, phonographs and records, so at least they can attract many customers.

Moreover, such profits are not particularly small in the eyes of those shop owners. The big deal is to increase the price by themselves. The selling price is a little bit more expensive than the main store. Presumably most wizards will not have any objections.

The reason for this arrangement is that apart from wooing the local alchemy firm, the main reason is that Anduin is going to transform the Silver Flash firm. It is no longer completely a store in the front and a factory in the back, and it produces and sells itself.

Instead, they began to follow the standards of those large local broomstick manufacturing companies, mainly focusing on development and production, and gradually dispersed to foreign partners and other local alchemy shops in terms of retail.

Of course, the main store in Diagon Alley will continue to open. The props sold here must be the most complete and complete, while those retail stores will sell new and high-margin products, so that sales will be higher, and production The product range will not become particularly complicated.

After Anduin had properly arranged the things in the Silver Flash Trading Company, he could then free himself and head to Europe with peace of mind.

At this time, in the office behind the store, Anduin, Hogg, Shalltear, Qiqi, Vivienne, and Azalea were sitting.

"My lord, are you ready?" Qiqi looked at Anduin with some trepidation, "If you take Shalltear away this time, I will be left alone in the firm. I'm a little worried that I won't be able to handle it Come."

After hearing Qiqi's words, Anduin didn't say anything, and Vivienne rolled her eyes first, "Oh, Qiqi, I'm not a transparent person, won't I stay to help after they leave?" ?And there is Azalia, there are three of us, a broken shop can't take care of it?"

"Uh, that's not what I meant..." Qiqi immediately shook her head nervously after hearing Vivienne's reprimand, "I just... Now that the firm has expanded so much, and there are still many foreign businesses to be connected, just There are quite a few of the promised orders that have not been processed, and I am afraid that I will mess up and delay your business."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Kiki." Anduin smiled lightly, "Besides me, you are the most familiar with the business in the firm. I am very relieved to entrust it to you. When I am away, you will be the manager of Silver Flash. Or, remember what I told you before, learn to think for yourself, didn't you do a good job before?"

"It's not mother-in-law's. Since Anduin continues to hire me, I won't abandon the firm!" Vivienne interrupted with a very thick skin.

And Hogg next to her heard the words, and glanced at her speechlessly, what's your business with the adults talking to Kiki, and if it wasn't because you failed to apply for a certain magic gossip magazine, how could you shamelessly come over and let the adults Take you in.

After a speechless sigh, Hogg raised his head and glanced at Shalltear, "Hey, stinky bat, have you finished testing the sunscreen on your body? Don't cry until you get tanned!"

"Nonsense! Do you think I'm going to make fun of my own life like you silly dog?" Shalltear, who looked like a loli, pursed her lips in disdain, and sprayed at Hogg.

At this time, Shalltear's clothes are very different from the previous ones. Although it is still the gothic Lolita-style lace dress, there is an extra layer of close-fitting black stockings on her legs, and she also wears black stockings on her hands. A pair of long lace gloves, and a small top hat with a lace sunshade on the head, looks a little more seductive, and also has a touch of mystery.

At the same time, her clothes basically cover her whole body tightly. This is actually a sunscreen combat uniform specially developed by Anduin for Shalltear, which can ensure her normal activities and battles in the sun, although she is still a little naked position, but did not cause adverse reactions.

"Okay, if you two quarrel again, I'll leave you here, anyway, I don't have to take you to action." Anduin glanced at the two of them, and then looked at Qiqi, "Pay attention to the housekeeper , and keep an eye on Vivian, the store is selling a lot of food, don't let her eat it."

"Hey, hey, aren't you a bit outrageous, I'm still next to you, just say that." Vivian stared at Anduin and said angrily.

Anduin gave her a blank look, and then looked at Azalia, "You should also pay attention, if you receive news from the headquarters or the villain, remember to contact me in time, and I may go to Northern Europe, see See if you can rescue your sister by the way."
