Overturning Hogwarts

Now that I have switched to gold galleons, the first thing I should do is of course buy a wand.

Moreover, Zhang Rui has been to the Forbidden Forest so many times that he is even familiar with the eight-eyed spider that Hagrid once raised, but he still hasn't even touched the fur of the unicorn.

It's a pity that the eight-eyed spider has no hair, and some of the spider silk was taken away by Zhang Rui, but it is obviously not suitable for making a staff core.

If you have a choice, it is of course more convenient to find a professional staff maker.

After asking random people, I found Ollivander's wand shop.

Although this shop is shabby and small, it is the only one in the British wizarding world, and wands are a necessary product for wizards, so they are not afraid of losing business.

Two bodyguards were waiting outside as usual, and Zhang Rui walked into the store alone.

"good evening."

An old man suddenly appeared.

However, Zhang Rui's spiritual sense had discovered the other party earlier and was not frightened - this was the result of his recent practice of the Nine-Character Mantra.

"You are..." Ollivander squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to connect Zhang Rui with a certain wizard in his impression, so as to show that he kept every customer in mind.

But it obviously failed. Zhang Rui's parents were not wizards, and they never bought his wand.

"I want to buy a magic wand." Zhang Rui said directly.

"Oh, you are a little wizard from a Muggle family." Ollivander responded.

"Yes."

Zhang Rui pointed to the shelf behind Ollivander, "Can you show me all the wands on that shelf?"

It is said that very rich people buy clothes like "this one, this one, and this one. Except for these three, just pack them up for me and take them away."

Although Zhang Rui has never bought clothes like this, he plans to buy wands like this. In his subconscious mind, the more wands the better - I can still break them and play with them if I don't need them.

Ollivander was stunned when he heard this. He had never seen such an arrogant little wizard in so many years, and even suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"I'm sorry, what did you just say?"

Zhang Rui thought that the other party was afraid that he could not afford so many wands, and thought impatiently, as expected, there are such despising shop assistants everywhere.

He just threw a big bag of gold galleons on the counter. Of course, this wasn't all the money. He couldn't carry five thousand gold galleons. If the money was not enough, he could always ask someone outside to bring the money in.

"I said I want all the wands on the shelf!"

He was too lazy to try them one by one. Anyway, when he took Malfoy's wand and tried it out that time, he found it quite easy to use. He estimated that wands were all about the same. The only difference was the length and whether he liked the style.

"Oh my God!"

Ollivander said with an angry look on his face: "It is the wand that chooses the wizard, not the wizard who chooses the wand! Sir, your attitude in selecting goods is blasphemy against the wand!"

Zhang Rui laughed angrily, and refused to do the business that was delivered to his door. Is this because he was worried about the money?

"I think the wizard can feel whether the wand is used smoothly or not. After all, only the feet know whether the shoes fit properly. If the shoe is not comfortable, just change it. There is no need to deliberately raise the wand, something mindless."

Zhang Rui seems to think that the wand is just a commodity in the wizarding world. Almost everyone has one. It is not the magical weapon with a spirit in Chinese legends. There is nothing that the wand can choose or not, only whether it fits or not.

Of course, this is also because he does not have a guide like other wizards who can tell him the "principles" of wands spread in the wizarding world, but who can guarantee that what is spread in the wizarding world must be correct? Have they verified it again?

"The Ollivanders make wands with thought. Every Ollivander wand is unique because no two unicorns, dragons or phoenixes are exactly the same."

"There are no two identical unicorns. Can only one hair of the same unicorn be used as a wand?"

Zhang Ruike is an expert at finding logical loopholes.

"Ah, this, this..." Ollivander didn't know what to say for a moment. The previous sentence had been passed down in his family for thousands of years and had never been refuted by anyone.

Because the first people who buy wands are little wizards, they are usually immersed in the wonderful fantasy of magic. They are about to get a unique wand. Which child can refuse such a fairy tale?

Although some adult wizards came to buy new wands, they did not think too much about what they had believed in as children, why two or even three "unique" wands would choose him.

"...And don't think that being unique means it's more valuable. Every leaf is unique, but a leaf is just a leaf." Zhang Rui continued.

You spend your own money to buy things, you don’t bargain, and you buy so much, you still want to teach me how to do things? I'm not used to this problem of yours.

"How can the leaves compare with the wands made by the Ollivander family? Our Ollivander family has been making wands since 382 BC!" Ollivander protects the reputation of the wand just like he protects his faith.

"Yes, yes, there is no one in the British wizarding world who knows how to make wands better than the Ollivander family..."

Ollivander was nodding with satisfaction, thinking that he had finally convinced the little wizard and defended the dignity of the wand.

"...That's because your family is the only one in the British wizarding world that makes wands. If I start this business, I will surpass yours in less than ten years."

Zhang Rui, as a business tycoon, still has confidence in this regard. The Ollivander family has been just a small family workshop for more than two thousand years. They don't understand what large-scale mechanized production is, what scientific research is, what It’s called numerical control, what is big data?

Why are all wands made of wood?

It's not because only wood is suitable for wands, it's because no one has tried other new materials, such as various alloys, organic polymer materials, and new composite materials.

The tradition of wizards is closed and backward, which limits their magical productivity.

"Nonsense! Our family's inheritance for thousands of years... Every guest must be tested for various physical data, and every wand must be tested by the wizard to find the most suitable owner..." Ollivander retorted with an example. .

"Speaking of data testing, the little wizards who are just eleven years old are still growing. Can the data measured now be used for a lifetime?"

Among the students in the same class, those who are tall now may suddenly stop growing in the future, while those who were originally short may suddenly become much taller in the future. Zhang Rui does not believe in Olivan's various data regarding height and arm length in the future. De can know.

"...And not every wizard comes in person to buy a wand. Some wizard families don't need the little wizard to be present when choosing a wand for their children."

Malfoy's first wand was picked out for him by his mother when he was talking to Harry in the wizarding robe shop, and his second and third wands were purchased while he was still at Hogwarts.

Apparently, some wizarding families have experience helping their children choose wands, even if they don't know as much about wands as the Ollivanders.

"Since you know so much about wands, please leave here and make your own wands! You will never buy any wands at Ollivander's Wand Store in the future!" Ollivander shouted angrily.

……

When Zhang Rui walked out of the wand shop with a large bag of gold coins, he was very angry.

Do you still treat big customers like this?

I'm kind enough to help you clean up your inventory, but you don't appreciate it?

What I used to refute you was also the truth. It was you who took the lie as the truth but did not allow others to point it out for you.

The most important thing is that I don’t have a magic wand anymore!

This is not possible. Even if I want to make my own wand, it will be too late.

"One of you go in and beat that old man up." Zhang Rui said to the two bodyguards, "I spent money to buy something, but he didn't sell it to me. Go beat him up to make me angry."

"Whoever makes the move will own this box of money."

Zhang Rui kicked the box on the ground that was a little used but still contained more than 200,000 pounds and said.

"I'll go." The two said together.

"One person is enough." Zhang Rui chose a relatively thin one, "Be careful, that old man has some tricks. You should get close to the old man first, don't let him get that little stick, and then attack suddenly, don't hit him too hard. , just raise it up to scare him, remember to knock down the two shelves at the back and let the old man clean it up..."
