Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“And for your Silver Gleam Commerce, the benefits are naturally numerous. All you need to do is ensure production, including both quality and quantity.” Bianca became serious at this point. “The Ministry will provide the raw materials for these international trade products. Of course, we hope you can lower the selling price a bit, as we still need to add tariffs.”

“Secondly, your products must pass the quality inspection of the British Ministry of Magic and be stamped with the Ministry's seal before they can be sold. At the same time, the distributors you choose must be legal. We need to supervise this aspect.”

Hearing the word 'tariff,' Anduin nodded knowingly. So, you're working so hard to facilitate international trade to get a share of the profits. Sure enough, no one gets up early without a benefit.

However, being able to provide raw materials is quite good. The biggest costs in his alchemical products are actually raw materials and electricity. But the electricity bill can be solved with Muggle currency. If he doesn't even have to pay for the raw materials, then the cost can be said to be negligible.

Thinking of this, Anduin felt that even if he lowered the price, he would still make a profit?

“Okay, I have no problem here. If the Ministry of Magic can provide the raw materials, I can sell them at 30% off the original price. Of course, the so-called original price is the original price agreed upon with the Ministry on the spot.” Anduin raised his eyebrows at Bianca as he said this.

His meaning was actually equivalent to giving 30% of the profit to the British Ministry of Magic. If you include the previous discount given to the Ministry, the profit in this area would be even greater.

Of course, Anduin had calculated it himself and knew that even if he gave up so much, his profit would actually increase.

However, Bianca's expression was quite wonderful after hearing Anduin's words. A 30% price reduction meant that 30% would become tariffs.

Bianca had originally imagined that Anduin could reduce the price by 10% to 15%, which would be great. They could then add a little to the actual selling price. For example, something worth 10 Galleons could be sold to foreign distributors for 12 Galleons including tariffs, so the Ministry could have a revenue of 3 Galleons.

Although this also had hidden dangers, such as a decrease in sales, or the breeding of smugglers, or 'daigou' parties, etc.

But now, it was equivalent to selling a 10-Galleon amulet to foreign distributors for 10 Galleons, and the Ministry of Magic could still get 3 Galleons in profit.

“Are you serious? Won't this affect your profits?” Bianca looked at Anduin very seriously. The international trade agreement every three years is actually the real theme of the Alchemy Conference. At this time, Anduin's decision would affect the British Ministry of Magic's decision in this trade agreement.

“Of course I'm serious. As long as I can open up the international market, even if my profits are less, at least I'll have some. The Ministry and Minister Baudino have given me so much help, so a proper return is necessary.” Anduin said nice things righteously, making him look like a conscientious businessman willing to take risks.

“Good boy, starting tomorrow night, it will be our meeting with the magic ministries of various countries to re-draft international trade. At that time, the directors of the International Magical Cooperation Department and the Magical Transportation Department will also come to the meeting.”

After Bianca finished speaking, she patted Anduin on the shoulder again appreciatively.

If everything went smoothly, Anduin and Silver Gleam Commerce would be considered the British Ministry of Magic's own children in the future.

No, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were even their own fathers.

After exchanging ideas with Anduin, Bianca became extremely excited and led him to the banquet hall of the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center headquarters with a happy face.

The decoration in the banquet hall was even more luxurious than the hall downstairs. Everywhere you looked, there were golden decorations flashing with strong magical fluctuations. At the same time, many magical atmosphere lights were added here.

Apparently, the people at the research center had purchased them from Anduin yesterday, and they were used on the spot. This helped Anduin's Silver Gleam Commerce with another GG.

At this time, a large number of wizards had already arrived in the banquet hall. Many people immediately whispered to each other after seeing Bianca and Anduin.

You could vaguely hear words like 'that young man is...' 'Silver Gleam Commerce' 'magic lamp' 'Pioneering Contribution Gold Award' and other words.

“Bianca, Anduin, you guys are late enough.” Bones quickly greeted them after seeing the two of them. At the same time, he was followed by several older wizards.

“Mr. Bones.” “Sorry, Edgar.”

Anduin and Bianca also greeted Bones immediately after seeing him.

“Come, Anduin, let me introduce you to several local alchemy masters.” Bones smiled and stepped aside, then introduced them one by one.

“This is Mr. Issa, an alchemy master, a senior researcher and honorary chairman of the research center. He is a leading figure in alchemical materials science. The largest Weather Carpet manufacturing company in Cairo is his business.” Bones pointed to an old man around sixty years old.

“This is Ms. Abdu, also an alchemy master, a professional scholar in rune inscription. She also corresponded with you. I don’t know if you still remember. The largest magic camera company in Cairo is under her name.” Bones pointed to a middle-aged woman and introduced.

And Anduin also respectfully greeted the two masters.

At the same time, Issa and Abdu also nodded kindly to Anduin.

“Finally, this is my colleague in Charms. His attainments in Charms are even higher than mine. This is Mr. Sebastian, a senior researcher and honorary chairman of the research center.” Bones smiled and patted Anduin on the shoulder and introduced.

Oh? So they met again? It seems that this Sphinx is quite familiar with Professor Bones, Anduin muttered in his heart.

“Hello, Mr. Sebastian.” Anduin naturally wouldn't reveal any flaws in front of this Silver Spear.

“Hello, Mr. Wilson is really young and promising.” Sebastian said politely at this time. At the same time, he took a few more glances at Anduin, and then nodded secretly in his heart.

He is covered in magical props. It seems that this young man's alchemy skills are indeed good. I wonder if he was able to fight Thunderbird and not die because of his equipment or his strength. It should be equipment. Looking at Thunderbird's furious appearance, you can tell that he will only be so annoyed if someone uses alchemy props on him.

After the two met, they were both performing with ulterior motives. However, Sebastian only knew that he was acting, and Anduin not only knew that he was acting, but also knew that the other party was performing, so there was a bit of a watching-a-play mentality in his eyes when looking at the other party.

“Anduin, don’t mind if I call you that. Today is the first time we’ve met after corresponding for so long.” Ms. Abdu was obviously more familiar with Anduin. “You caused quite a stir in the Kalahei market yesterday. Many people are asking around who the boy selling lamps is.”

“Not bad.” Mr. Issa also responded with a smile. “Not to mention the magic lamp and the gramophone, you can see that they are now used in the banquet hall. But what surprised me the most was the human-shaped target you sold. I specially asked my assistant to buy one from you yesterday. Its function is so fascinating that it even made me like casting spells again. I haven't practiced spells so happily in a long time.”

“Is that so? Then it seems I missed something.” Ms. Abdu raised her eyebrows regretfully. “I only bought a few magic pendants. Their workmanship is really amazing. All the runes are almost exactly the same, and I even thought they were made with a duplicating charm. Moreover, in terms of their materials and rune inscription accuracy, the price of 12 Galleons is ridiculously cheap.”

“You two are too kind. Ms. Abdu, if you need one, I can give you a human-shaped target as a gift. After all, I have learned a lot from you in terms of rune inscription over the years.” Hearing the two alchemy masters praise him, Anduin immediately said modestly.

Of course, many of these words were sincere. The reason why his alchemy has progressed so quickly in the past few years is that, in addition to constantly practicing with the alchemy materials he obtained from the Travers family, he also relied on these alchemy masters whom Professor Bones knew. As leading figures in various fields, they generously pointed out knowledge to Anduin.

“No teacher dislikes students who are both smart and hardworking.” Ms. Abdu said with a smile. In fact, she also got a lot of inspiration from the echo charm invented by Anduin, and developed two new models of magic cameras because of it, and both were very popular. Therefore, she had a very good impression of Anduin.

The Sphinx on the side watched Anduin talking eloquently with the two masters, and muttered secretly in his heart, is this kid so popular?

And looking at Abdu's reaction, his alchemy skills are obviously higher than imagined. It's a pity to let Thunderbird clean him up.

Alas, if I had been the one who went to England to establish a branch, maybe I could have won this young man over because of shared interests. This Anduin is now gaining momentum and is almost catching up with Dumbledore back then.

“Sebastian, Sebastian...” When Sebastian was secretly shaking his head, he suddenly heard someone calling him. When he reacted, he realized that it was Abdu who was calling him.

“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly in a daze?” Abdu saw that Sebastian finally reacted and immediately asked puzzled.

“Ah, I suddenly thought of some academic problems just now, and I was too engrossed in thinking about them.” Sebastian showed an apologetic smile and replied somewhat awkwardly.

“Haha, this guy is usually just a bookworm, a workaholic. He probably can’t fit anything other than Charms in his head.” Mr. Issa couldn’t help but joke.

That's not necessarily true, he might be thinking about how to kill me, Anduin looked at the awkwardly smiling Sebastian, and sneered in his heart.

“By the way, what were you talking about just now?” Sebastian asked in order to relieve the awkwardness.
