Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

"Hello, where is your store manager?"

There were many guests downstairs, but there were not many people on the sixth floor, which only wizards could come up to. Adam randomly found an idle waiter.

"Hello, do you need any help? 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, such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc., and then I will see if you can accept custom orders here. I will also ask how to sell the treasures of the town."

The waiter knew halfway through that it was time to call the manager. She couldn't bear the commission on this order. When she heard the last word, surprise appeared on her face:

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

"Yes, that's the Cuitou Noodles."

Adam nodded and looked at the waiter:

"What, is that mask not for sale?"

This situation is not unheard of. The treasure of the store is purely used to promote the appearance and attract customers, and is not sold to the outside world.

"this……"

The waiter hesitated. Their treasure could be sold, but...

"It's not that it's not for sale, it's just that the store manager said that he only accepts barter."

Adam suddenly realized that since a set of Di Cui Tou Noodles was for sale, the rich ladies in Hong Kong should have taken action long ago. Why did they keep it until today? It turned out to be this reason.

Money is easier to use than anything else until it reaches a certain amount, because it is a general equivalent and more flexible than any other resource.

But when it reaches a certain order of magnitude, it is just a number. The goods corresponding to this price range are priceless and rare treasures that cannot be bought with just money.

No matter how expensive a set of Di Cui Tou Noodles is, there will be no shortage of people to buy it, but if it must be bartered... to exchange treasures of the same price for a set of pure decorations, even if rich wives are willing, their families will not agree.

Adam thought for a while, he had quite a lot of rare treasures, so he said:

"Take me to meet your store manager first. I'll see what his price is. If I don't have enough, I'll go back to China to pick it up."

The tone of his voice was that he was determined to get the treasure of the town, and he didn't feel that he could not afford it at all.

This is natural. Not to mention half of the treasures in Nico Flamel's secret vault, there are many treasures that Adam has obtained by himself, even if Anubis's scales and Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem cannot With casual trading, the Light Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak are also rare treasures. The Lightning Strike Wood he just bought can be exchanged for several sets of Cuitou Noodles.

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

But based on this alone, I went to call the boss...

Just when the waiter was struggling, Adam saw why she was in trouble and said:

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

Li family?

The waiter's face looked a little strange. It was okay if Adam didn't say it. 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 glance at his third uncle.

‘Don’t Third Auntie come here often? She doesn’t have any face at all? ’

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

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

"What's going on?"

There were not many guests, so the strangeness on Adam's side was inevitably a bit conspicuous, and a smartly dressed lady came over.

"Does this guest need anything? I can try to help you."

"Mr. Chang, this guest..."

The waiter told the manager Adam's needs, and finally mentioned that Adam was from the Li family.

"oh?"

The manager's eyes lit up, and when he looked at Adam, his eyes were immediately full of enthusiasm, much more eager than before:

"It turns out that you are a distinguished customer. I will help you contact the store manager immediately. However, it may take a while for the store manager to arrive. Mr. Li, please go to the reception room with me to have tea first."

The waiter was stunned and looked at the manager with confusion in his eyes.

After working as 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 over before!

Judging from the previous situation of the Li family and Mrs. Li, it was obvious that even if they wanted to see the treasure of the town, they would be politely rejected...

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

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

Another male waiter had nothing to do and couldn't help but start to inquire about gossip.

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

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

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

No wonder Sister Xiaoyun has been working as a waiter for so many years... She doesn't read or listen to the news in this business district!

Now, who doesn’t know that the Li family has a foreign relative from nowhere who is so rich that he even bought the 700-year-old Jingzhe and Thunder Strike jujube wood that the old Cheng family had been suppressing for so many years?

Many owners who planned to wait for Lao Cheng to lower the price were so regretful that they smashed the table!

But even if they regret it, they won’t pay for it if they are asked to pay for it, and this is the reason why Adam is famous now——

Not only does he have money, he is really willing to spend it!

What a pity. If only it was him who received the reception just now, he would have reported it directly to the boss. As for the manager, they will be on the same level next month. Why are you afraid of her?

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

Xiaoyun was left alone, still confused.

"Mr. Li, please have some tea."

Sitting down after a set of operations that looked very hot, the manager served Adam and Li Chunren tea, and then waved.

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

"The boss is already on his way. Mr. Li said before that he also wanted to buy some jewelry. This booklet contains our store's collections. You can choose from them and we will help you take them out from the warehouse."

Just like downstairs, the items displayed in the display cabinets are just ordinary items. The items in this booklet are treasures. No matter whether they are expensive or cheap, at least you don’t have to worry about bumping the jewelry with others when you take it out.

Adam heard the words and looked at the booklet. The waiter must have been specially trained. After Adam read it, he would immediately turn the page. After Adam's eyes stayed on a certain jewelry for a while, he would introduce it. The introduction was simple and clear. Click to stop. , not offensive.

The third uncle initially glanced at it to see if he would choose one for his wife as well. After all, the wedding anniversary was coming soon, but after seeing the string of numbers under one of them, he withdrew his gaze and concentrated on drinking tea.

Anniversaries happen every year, so why buy something so expensive? Just go downstairs and buy a ring later.

Adam remained silent all the way to the end, and the waiter and the manager opposite showed no impatience at all, and the timing of refilling the tea was just right.

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

"Is there anything else?"

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

Adam raised his eyebrows:

"Diancuige is a chain store?"

"Mr. Li was joking. It is naturally from the inventory of other jewelry stores."

The manager smiled:

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

Uther and Bernard always say that they can do business, but this is what they really mean by being able to do business and feel at home.

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

"Bring the other books as well."
