a certain scientific harry potter

Hermione could understand Harry's excitement at this time, because this problem had really troubled him for too long, but today, he inadvertently saw a glimmer of a solution.

So, she also touched Harry's back with both hands, and responded to Harry's gentle hug in front of everyone in the room who were either surprised or teasing.

"Okay~"

"Haha, the two of them really have an affair!"

And this kind of action completely ignited the atmosphere of the entire teahouse. A large group of guys who watched the excitement stood up and applauded, and many people even started to whistle directly.

And just at this moment, the Weasley brothers also pushed the door open at the same time, as if they knew that Harry and Hermione would be here, they naturally joined the ranks of the crowd.

"Hey, let me just say, the two of them will definitely come here, and they can't help it~" Fred laughed while applauding.

"That's right, but what should Ginny do?" George thought of another problem. Once today's incident is widely spread, his sister will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

"We can talk about her matter later, anyway, the most important thing is to join in the fun~"

"That's right! Come on, Granger!" Hearing what his brother said, George immediately stopped caring about his sister's girlish heart, and started to heckle loudly.

The farce in the teahouse lasted for several minutes before it gradually dissipated, and the two of them, after glaring at the booing Weasley twins at the same time, followed them out of Mrs. Puddife's teahouse.

However, they didn't know at this time that the turmoil of this incident did not end there.

"The Granger siblings had a tryst at Mrs. Puddiffe's teahouse, and they both had an orgasm because of their discussion of study." This gossip will definitely spread like wildfire in the school in the next few days.

Of course, that's all for later, the Weasley brothers have arranged for the person in charge of the village council at the Three Broomsticks, and next, Harry is about to negotiate a big deal.

Chapter 380 Bargaining starts with cutting in half

The Three Broomsticks Bar, when Hahe and his twin brothers came here together, the person they wanted to meet had already opened a private room in the bar.

Two men and one woman, none of which Harry had ever seen.

"Harry, let me introduce you. This is the honorary chairman of the Hogsmeade Village Council, Mr. Hengis." Fred pointed to the kind-looking old man among the three and introduced, "Hogsmeade The village was first established by the wizard Hengis from Woodcroft, and to commemorate him, the wizards of his descendants will be elected as honorary presidents, responsible for leading the big and small affairs of Hogsmeade village."

"Mr. Hengis, hello." Knowing that the other party was the main person he was negotiating with today, Harry greeted him politely.

"Potter... No, Mr. Granger, nice to meet you too." When the old Hengis saw Harry, his expression was very excited, just like a star-chasing fan who suddenly met his idol .

To be honest, after all these years, Harry has long been immune to this kind of expression... Of course, the other party may really be just anxious to sell the land.

"This lady is Mrs. Rosmerta. She is the owner of this bar. My brother likes her very much. He blushed when he saw her for the first time. As for the rest, he is the owner of the Pig's Head Bar... "

George introduced the remaining two to Harry. Among them, Mrs. Rosmerta was well maintained and could be described as still charming. It can be seen that she should be a beauty when she was young.

As for the last person, George was a little hesitant when he mentioned him, because the other party was a guy with a weird temper, and he hardly participated in the affairs of the village. I don't know why he was suddenly interested in the land acquisition.

However, Harry didn't need the Weasley brothers to introduce him. As soon as he heard the title of 'Pig's Head Bar Owner', he already reflected the identity of the other party.

The tall and thin old man in front of him with a strand of gray hair like wire has bright blue eyes similar to Mr. Principal; when he was sitting there, his eyebrows and shoulders were shaking slightly restlessly, giving People feel a little anxious.

Aberforth Dumbledore... This man is the brother of the principal, and also a former member of the Order of the Phoenix.

Out of some precautionary considerations, Harry has been collecting information about the Order of the Phoenix through various channels, and the owner of the Pig's Head Bar is naturally on his radar.

However, the other party seemed very mysterious, and it was said that even Sirius had only met him once.

The reason why he appeared here today is probably because he is the protagonist of the land sale, so he rushed over to have a look out of curiosity.

"Mr. Granger, I heard from two of your classmates that you want to buy the land at the Shrieking Shack?" After a few people got to know each other, old Hengis took the lead to get to the point, "You should still be a student, right? You know, buying and selling land is not a joke."

"Mr. Hengis, don't worry, I never joke about serious things." Harry responded politely, "I have seen the plot of the Screaming Shack just now, and it is basically enough. My request. If you are really anxious to make a move, you might as well quote me a price."

"That's right, Mr. Granger, once our land in Hogsmeade is bought and sold, the right to use it belongs to you for life. Unless you or your later family members move out of Hogsmeade with all your property village, otherwise the village council will not forcibly take back your land for any reason.”

"Moreover, you are completely free to use this land. Whether you build your own house or use it as a shop, the village council will not interfere with it. As for the price, it must be very suitable, and it will never let you Lost~"

Obviously, this Mr. Hengis is an honest man who is not very good at negotiating business. He was too anxious to settle the land of the Screaming Shack, so that Harry just wanted to ask him a little, and he wanted to hand over the old man directly. Out.

And after his description, Harry also knew exactly how much the 'suitable price' that old Hengis said was.

"One gold Galleon for five square meters, Mr. Granger, what do you think of the price?"

A five-square-meter Jinjialong land... How to say this price, it is no longer a question of appropriateness...

This is the price of cabbage~

Think about it, five square meters is only one gold coin. In other words, even if Harry bought a land of [-] square meters, the final total price would only be [-] Galleons.

If it is converted into pounds, it is basically equivalent to one pound per square meter.

You know, in some border counties in England, those cheap land may cost more than three pounds per square meter, and that kind of land is basically only allowed to be used for agriculture and livestock, so don't even think about it. Build a house on it.

However, Hogsmeade Village, a place that can be called a hot spot in the wizarding world, has a land price that is only one-third of that of Border County, and once purchased, it is owned for life. Not only can it be used at will, but it can even be passed on to future generations. This can really be called a big sale by jumping off a building.

So, such a bargain... Of course Harry would be embarrassed to haggle with the other party~

Can it be cheaper? Let me talk about it first. As a person from the Celestial Dynasty, what we enjoy is the thrill of bargaining... Besides, what if it happens~

"With all due respect, Mr. Hengis," Harry said calmly after typing the manuscript a little, "the land of the Screaming Shack is indeed okay, and the flat terrain is more suitable for building houses. But there is one problem. Well, this is the worst haunted house in England. Even the villagers of Hogsmeade Village don’t dare to approach it at all. Basically, any shop opened here can only lose money, and it is difficult to attract enough people. Passenger flow, do you admit this?"

"This... this is indeed the truth." Old Hengis looked embarrassed, he had never expected Harry's words to be so sharp.

Harry said it was of course true, if it wasn't because the place was haunted, how could he be anxious to find a buyer?

Even a 'kid' like the Weasley twins approached him, and he was willing to meet a third-year kid like Harry.

Because he knew very well that with the 'notoriety' of the Screaming Shack, and the speed at which Hogsmeade Village has attracted new residents and shops in recent years... If this land cannot be sold in the near future, it is likely that it will never be sold.

"So your price must have been set high. If you really want to sell it, then I'm not hypocritical... One gold Galleon per ten square meters, what do you think of this price?"

From five to ten, Harry directly slashed in half!

Chapter 380 During the second negotiation, you can take the initiative to explode the backstage

"Ten... ten square meters for one Galleon? Mr. Granger, are you joking?"

Sure enough, Harry's slash was so hard that old Hengis was so angry and anxious that he couldn't sit on the stool.

"The sale of land in Hogsmeade Village has never been recorded at such a low price! Sorry, Mr. Granger, I can't agree to your proposal at all!"

"Mr. Hengis, don't rush to refuse." Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Harry hastily tried to persuade him, "Actually, you should understand that the Screaming Shack is to you and to the whole of Hogsmeade. As far as the village is concerned, it is a drag, and you sold it to me, which is equivalent to getting rid of this burden in disguise."

"What's more, what I want to buy is not just the small plot of screaming shack, I also want to buy the land around it. In this way, after my house is built, I can connect the remote suburbs with the The village center is connected together, and the original site of the Screaming Shack will be completely isolated from the village, and will never be seen by any villagers again. Don’t you think this solution is perfect?”

"This... this should require a lot of land to realize, right?" After listening to Harry's description, old Hengis couldn't help being a little puzzled, but his curiosity was indeed aroused, "Mr. Granger, what do you want to buy? How big is the land?"

"It's easy to say, with the Shrieking Shack as the boundary, I want to buy all the land that extends 500 meters horizontally and vertically into the village!"

While speaking, Harry directly took out the sketch he had drawn earlier, and pointed out the land he had delineated to everyone.

Seeing the boxy wireframe on the sketch, even the people on Harry's side, their eyes widened in astonishment.

It turned out that what Harry was going to talk about was not a small business in a big fart place like Screaming Shack, but a big business of 25 hectares!

After hearing Harry's real intention, Mrs. Rosmerta, who originally wanted to say something, immediately changed her mind.

"After chatting for so long, everyone must be thirsty. I'm going to prepare some butter beer. I'm going to treat you today~"

She hurriedly got up, swayed her figure and walked out of the room, at the same time, she did not forget to give Harry a friendly wink.

"Please help me prepare an ordinary fruit juice. I can't drink alcoholic beverages." Seeing this, Harry also returned a kind smile.

Butter beer is a drink favored by wizards. It is said to taste sweet and not as greasy as butter. Its sales and reputation have always been quite good.

However, due to the influence of his previous life's occupation, Harry himself did not drink alcohol at all, so it was a pity that he missed this star drink.

"No problem, I'll have the waiter deliver it later." Mrs. Rosmerta nodded and hurriedly opened the door and left.

From the looks of it, she didn't intend to come in to help Hengis again.

As expected of a well-rounded person, he could see the current situation clearly at once.

If it was just a small business like a small shop, Mrs. Rosmerta certainly wouldn't mind helping old Hengis as a consultant; but what Harry wants to talk about now is a large order of tens of thousands of Galleons, and he also made it clear that he wants to talk to old Hengis. Bargaining, then she'd better not interrupt.

After all, as long as she intervened, she would most likely offend Harry no matter whether the deal was successful or not.

After all, the Three Broomsticks wanted to open the door to do business. It was definitely not a wise choice to fight against someone as rich, famous and backstage as Harry Potter.

It's just that not everyone can protect themselves as wisely as she does.

"The land is 500 meters long and 25 hectares wide... If you want to buy such a large piece of land, then the price you mentioned is even more impossible." After Mrs. Rosmerta left, Aberforth suddenly said, "According to According to your calculation, if Hogsmeade Village sells this land to you, they can only charge you [-] Galleons in the end, you are simply robbing~"

"Mr. Dumbledore, you are really joking. Which robber have you ever seen rush to give money to the victim?" Harry chuckled lightly, and at the same time, he looked at Aberforth without hesitation. , "It doesn't matter if it's fifty thousand or twenty-five thousand, do you think it's better to lose than not to earn? What's more, the Screaming Shack is like this. If I buy it, no matter what I do in the future, But it’s all about taking a lot of risk~”

"You... okay, you're a good kid~"

Aberforth was helplessly defeated in just one round. There was nothing he could do. When it came to debate, he was far behind his brother.

Originally, he was just angry, but Harry kept talking about the Screaming Shack, so he offered to help Hengis pay back, but he didn't expect to be slapped back by Harry directly.

But after thinking about it, Aberforth felt that Harry's style of handling things was quite interesting. This kind of style of taking advantage of the opponent's weakness was very different from his brother.

So, he simply stopped talking and decided to quietly watch Harry continue to perform.

"Mr. Granger, is it convenient for you to tell me, what exactly are you going to use for such a large land?" At this time, old Hengis also tentatively asked.

If a house is built on a plot of 25 hectares, more than one ultra-luxury villa can definitely be built; and if a shop is to be opened, the scale must be the largest in the wizarding world in England!

So... this is no longer a question of whether to sell the land, but whether Hogsmeade Village will miss a super-large landmark building!

"I want to build a nursing home." Harry didn't hide his plan, "After I get the land, I will build a garden villa-style nursing home here, and invite some respectable people to live here For example, my teachers, Nicole Flamel and his wife, and of course Newt Scamander and his wife, I have already talked to them."

"At the same time, since I am a student of Hogwarts, I will also give some preferential treatment to the teachers of Hogwarts. For example, Professor Kettleburn, who just retired last year, can move in after the nursing home is completed. ...In short, in order to make these elders live more comfortably, the place I need will naturally be larger."

"Mr. Granger, did you just say...Nicole Flamel, and...Newt Scamander?"

In other words, old Hengis is no longer calm at all. He even drank the butter beer he just delivered, but it didn't have the slightest effect on the shock.

This is actually a small trick of Harry's. After all, the backstage doesn't need to be expired. Only by letting old Hengis clearly know his own energy can he gain an advantage in this negotiation.

Likewise, it was a deterrent to Aberforth Dumbledore.

My backstage is much stronger than your brother's, so whether you are out of curiosity or for other reasons, it's best not to come to my affairs!

Chapter 380 Three Peeves Can Bring Big Surprises

"In short, the situation is probably like this. It is impossible for me to pay you 25 Galleons for a total of [-] square meters of land, and [-] is about the same. Of course, Mr. Hengis, you can also take your time. Consider, I have plenty of time to wait."

After gulping down the drink in his cup, Harry got up and chose to leave: "Let's go here first today, and when you think it over clearly, you might as well talk to me again."

When talking about business, you should not be eager for quick success, because if you appear to be in a hurry, the other party will find out your flaws, and then they will sit on the ground and raise the price, causing extra problems.

So it's better to stop here and ask Hengis to discuss it with the other village councilors who didn't come.

Anyway, Harry was sure old Hengis would not refuse, and neither would any of the others from the Hogsmeade Village Council who hadn't come.

After all, no one would take the initiative to offend Harry and the group of bosses behind him for a wasteland that was destined to rot in his hands.

Of course, the final transaction price of this land should be more than [-], so I can add some more~

Anyway, whether it is [-] or [-], I will definitely take advantage of it.

"Hey, kid!" Harry, who was about to go back to school after leaving the Three Broomsticks, was stopped by Aberforth from behind.

"Mr. Dumbledore, what can I do?" Harry asked turning around.

"Nothing special, I just think you're pretty funny, and you're really dark enough to start." Aberforth blinked at Harry, "You've been talking about the Screaming Shack , I don't believe you don't know what's going on in that house~"

"Of course I know. The Screaming Shack is just a haunted and troublesome house. There is nothing special about it." Harry replied to Aberforth lightly, "Dumbledore Mr. Lido, if you really feel sorry for Mr. Hengis, you can go to your brother to make up the difference. After all... I didn’t spread the rumor that the Screaming Shack was haunted~”

"You... hey, interesting, you really are an interesting guy." Aberforth didn't seem to feel offended by Harry, but instead laughed and patted Harry on the shoulder, "Your personality, I suddenly feel a little familiar. And you just said... you are also a student of Nicole Flamel?"

"It's just thanks to the teacher's appreciation." Harry nodded, but then shook his head again, "As for your familiarity, I think it should be an illusion."

"Forget it, I won't chat with you, come to the Hog's Head Bar when you have time, I'll treat you~" Noticing Harry's attitude was a little cold, Aberforth shrugged in displeasure, then turned and left.

But Harry didn't intend to apologize for this, nor did he want to respond to the other party's invitation.

Not every 'celebrity' is worth befriending, especially if one's own details are easily exposed.

That damned sense of familiarity... It's clear that I've seen him in my last life!

Harry had enough things to worry about now, he didn't want to add another branch of Aberforth for nothing because of something as simple as buying land.

...
