Hogwarts Crawler

"Hello, where is your store manager?"

There were many customers downstairs, but there were not many people on the sixth floor where only wizards could go up. Adam found a free waiter at random.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with? Let me see if I can solve it. If not, I will ask the manager or store manager for you."

Looking at the perfect hospitality smile on the waiter's face, Adam said:

"I plan to buy some jewelry, rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc., and then see if you accept customization here, and also ask how the treasure of the pavilion is sold."

The waiter knew that she had to call the manager halfway through. She couldn't eat the commission of this order. When she heard the end, she was even more surprised:

"You... want to buy the treasure of the pavilion?"

"Yes, that set of kingfisher headdress."

Adam nodded and looked at the waiter:

"Why, is that set of headdress not for sale?"

This situation is not uncommon. The treasure of the store is purely used to maintain the store's appearance and attract customers, and is not sold to the public.

"This..."

The waiter hesitated. Their family's treasure can be sold, but...

"It's not that it's not for sale, but the store manager said that it can only be exchanged for goods."

Adam suddenly realized that since a set of kingfisher headdress was for sale, the rich wives of Hong Kong Island should have sold it long ago. Why did they keep it until today? It turned out to be this reason.

Money is more useful than anything else before it reaches a certain amount, because it is a general equivalent and more flexible than any other resource.

But when it reaches a certain level, it is just a number. The goods corresponding to this price are all rare treasures that are priced but not sold, and cannot be bought with money alone.

A set of kingfisher headdress, no matter how expensive it is, there will be no shortage of buyers, but if it must be exchanged for goods... using treasures of the same price to exchange for a set of pure decorations, even if the rich wives are willing, their families will not agree.

Adam thought about it, he had a lot of rare treasures, so he said:

"Take me to see your store manager first, I'll see what his price is, if I don't have enough, I'll go back to get more."

The tone of his voice was determined to get the treasure of the pavilion, and he didn't think he couldn't afford it.

This was natural. Not to mention Nicolas Flamel's half of the secret vault, Adam himself got a lot of treasures. Even if Anubis's scales and Rowena Ravenclaw's crown can't be traded casually, the light resurrection stone and the invisible cloak are also rare treasures. The lightning wood he just bought is enough to exchange for a few sets of kingfisher headwear.

The waiter was shocked by Adam's words. Although he looked like a child, judging by his appearance and temperament, he had some trust in him.

But just because of this, he went to call the boss...

Just when the waitress was struggling, Adam saw why she was embarrassed, and said:

"The Li family won't make fun of you, just go ahead and call."

The Li family?

The waitress's face was a little strange. It would be fine if Adam didn't say anything. If it was the Li family, wouldn't it be even more unaffordable?

Seeing the waiter's expression, Adam was stunned and seemed to see something, and couldn't help but look at his third uncle.

'Doesn't your third aunt come here often? Don't you have this face? '

The third uncle covered his face with his hands and blinked a few times.

'Your third aunt does come here often, but shopping and buying are two different things...'

"What's going on?"

There were not many customers, so Adam's strangeness was inevitably a little conspicuous. A lady in capable clothes came over.

"Does this guest need anything? I can try to solve it for you."

"Manager Chang, this guest..."

The waiter told the manager about Adam's needs, and at the end he mentioned that Adam was from the Li family.

"Oh?"

The manager's eyes lit up, and he looked at Adam with enthusiasm, much more eager than before:

"So it's a distinguished guest. I will help you contact the store manager immediately, but it may take some time for the store manager to come. Mr. Li, please follow me to the reception room for tea."

The waiter was stunned, and looked at the manager with confusion.

Having been a waiter for so many years, she can certainly tell whether the manager is really enthusiastic or fake. You didn't have this attitude when Mrs. Li came before!

Based on the previous situation of the Li family and Mrs. Li, it is clear that they would be politely rejected if they wanted to see the treasure of the town hall...

Watching the manager take people to a higher floor, the waiter returned to his post with doubts.

"Sister Xiaoyun, what happened to the guest just now?"

Another male waiter was bored and couldn't help but start to gossip.

Xiaoyun told him what happened just now, and finally couldn't help but said:

"Why do you think the manager's attitude has changed so much?"

The manThe waiter's eyes twitched twice, and he looked at Xiaoyun with surprise and understanding.

No wonder Xiaoyun is still a waiter after working for so many years... She doesn't read or listen to the news in this business circle!

Now who doesn't know that the Li family has a foreign relative from nowhere, who is so rich that he even bought the seven hundred year old Jingzhe lightning-struck jujube wood that the old Cheng family has kept for so many years?

Many family owners who planned to wait for the old Cheng family to lower the price regretted it and smashed the table!

But it was just a regret. If they really paid for it, they would not pay, and this is why Adam is famous now-

He is not only rich, but he is really willing to pay!

It's a pity. If it was him who received it just now, he would report it directly to the boss. As for the manager, they will be on the same level next month. Why should he be afraid of her?

Thinking of this, the male waiter sighed regretfully, lost interest in gossiping, and returned to his post.

Only Xiaoyun was left confused.

"Mr. Li, please have some tea."

The manager served tea to Adam and Li Chunren after a set of operations that looked very hot. Then he waved his hand.

The waiter who had been waiting at the side and back walked to Adam with a booklet in his hand, knelt on one knee and showed Adam the booklet in his hand.

"The boss is on his way. Mr. Li said he wanted to buy some jewelry. The ones in this booklet are all treasures of our store. You can choose them and we will help you get them from the warehouse."

Like downstairs, the items in the display cabinet are just ordinary goods. The ones in this booklet are treasures. No matter whether they are expensive or cheap, at least you don't have to worry about bumping into other people's jewelry when you take them out.

Adam looked at the booklet after hearing this. The waiter should have been specially trained. Adam would turn the page immediately after reading it. Adam would start to introduce a piece of jewelry after his eyes stayed on it for a while. Moreover, the introduction was simple and clear, and it was to the point, which would not make people feel disgusted.

The third uncle had originally glanced to see if he should also pick one for his wife, after all, the wedding anniversary was coming up, but when he saw the string of numbers under one of them, he retracted his gaze and concentrated on drinking tea.

Anniversaries come every year, why buy something so expensive, it’s better to go downstairs and buy a ring later.

Adam didn’t say a word all the way to the end, and the waiter and the manager opposite didn’t show any impatience, and the timing of refilling tea was just right.

After the waiter closed the booklet, Adam looked at the manager:

"Are there any others?"

"This one is our store's collection. If Mr. Li needs it, we also have collections from other stores here."

Adam raised his eyebrows:

"Is Diancui Pavilion a chain store?"

"Mr. Li, you are joking. Of course, it is the collection of other jewelry stores."

The manager smiled:

"The entire Hong Kong Island, even the collection of jewelry stores that only sell illegal tools is included. If Mr. Li likes it, he can call it over with one phone call, saving time, effort and worry."

Usther and Bernard always say that they know how to do business, but this is what it means to really know how to do business and make guests feel at home.

Adam sighed in his heart, and then reported a string of numbers, which were the numbers of several jewelry he thought were good in the booklet just now, and said:

"Bring the other books here too."
