"Qiu? Why are you here?"
Glenn looked at the girl and said with some surprise.
Qiu glanced at him and asked coquettishly: "What? Can't I come to you?"
"Yes! Of course I can!" Glenn nodded quickly without any hesitation.
"In fact, Miss Qiu Zhang has been sitting here waiting for you for two hours."
Old Ollivander, who was quietly watching behind the counter, suddenly said something.
Glenn touched his hair and said with a little embarrassment: "How about I treat you to ice cream? As compensation for waiting for so long."
"Okay." Qiu nodded happily without thinking about it.
"Goodbye, Mr. Ollivander, thank you for chatting with me for so long and causing you trouble." Before leaving the house, Qiu didn't forget to turn around and say.
Grandfather waved his hands with a smile and watched the two of them leave. The kind smile on his face proved that he had already begun to take advantage of these CPs.
"What did you and my grandfather talk about?" Glenn couldn't help but ask as he walked on the gravel road in Diagon Alley.
Qiu glanced at him sideways and shook her head with a smile: "You take your time and guess, I won't tell you."
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Glenn to react, she quickened her pace and walked towards Florin Fusco's ice cream shop.
Compared to the well-behaved person she was in the wand shop before, she has obviously changed.Glenn was alone in the wind for a while, and then quickly caught up.
"One with milky peach ice cream, and the other with the same old vanilla cookie."
At the entrance of the ice cream shop, he finally caught up with Qiu and spoke to Fusco first.
Qiu looked back at him slightly surprised, nodded and said, "Not bad, you still remember that I like this taste."
"It should, it should!" Glenn said quickly and humbly.
The two of them found a quiet place with no one around under the awning facing the street, chatting casually about each other's current situation.
There were not many customers at the moment, so Fusco quickly served the ice cream.Just like last time, the portion was double the normal portion, and the ice cream cup almost overflowed.
"You kid, how long have you been here since?" Fusco complained, pretending to be dissatisfied.
Glenn shrugged and said with a smile: "You don't charge me every time I come. If I don't come, won't you lose less money?"
Fusco was stunned: "Don't say it, this seems to make sense."
There was a hint of laughter in his tone, and it didn't look like he had been fooled at all, he was just playing along with the joke.
Qiu scooped up a spoonful of slightly chilled ice cream and put it into his mouth, the smile on his face became a little brighter.
"Sure enough, it still tastes the same. It's really good. I wish I could eat it more often."
Glenn looked at her with a smile and said, "Isn't that simple? Just let Fusco open a branch in Hogsmeade."
"You told me to open it, and they did it. Why?" Qiu couldn't help but roll her eyes and said angrily.
"Tell me, if he rents this store from my house, is that okay?" Glenn blinked and asked with a smile.
Qiu then remembered that the Ollivanders were the big landowners of Diagon Alley, and this store was naturally the property of the Glenn family.
In fact, if Fusco really opens a branch in Hogsmeade, and with the familiar Hogwarts secret passages, he can eat delicious ice cream anytime he wants, wouldn't it be a big deal? Beautiful things.
Thinking of this, she also became interested and looked at Fusco, who had not left yet.
Fusco never expected that he was just giving away two ice creams for free, but for some reason, he suddenly talked about opening a branch.
"How about, Mr. Fusco, let's find out about the Hogsmeade branch?" Glenn put down his glass bowl and said.
"I have a small store like this with few employees. How can I afford to open a branch?" Fusco thought for a while and couldn't help but shook his head.
Glenn immediately began to lie: "If you ask me, you can't just take things at face value. Where is Hogsmeade? It is the only village in the UK that is full of wizards. It has more residents than Diagon Alley, plus Hogwart. With so many students, what a broad prospect is this?"
He played a word game.
It is true that Hogsmeade has more residents than Diagon Alley, but he said nothing about Diagon Alley's huge floating population.
Fusco didn't notice it for a moment, he was really moved, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
He thought for a moment and said, "I still feel it's a bit risky. Although there are many students in Hogwarts, we can't go to Hogsmeade every day, right?"
"Things can't be thought of like this." Glenn said immediately. "In Hogwarts, students in third grade and above have several opportunities to participate in Hogsmeade weekends every semester. After a year, it is always better than them. Do you go to the street a lot? Think about it, is the time when your business is most prosperous every year during the summer vacation? "
"That makes sense..." Fusco savored it carefully and nodded.
Glenn struck while the iron was hot and added: "Let me tell you a little tidbit, Dumbledore's favorite is sweets. Every time he likes a new candy, it will set off a craze among the students. Do you know, because of this Wealth code, how many galleons can Honeydukes make from Hogwarts every year?"
His mouth was a little dry as he spoke, and he took two bites of ice cream before continuing.
"Given my relationship with Dumbledore, asking him to mention your ice cream occasionally is as simple as drinking water?"
"Is it really as good as you say?" Fusco felt more and more that what he said was reasonable. Although he was still questioning it, he was already thinking about how much money he had saved over the years.
"Besides, just opening a branch doesn't mean you should give up your old store in Diagon Alley. You can stay in Diagon Alley during the summer vacation, wait until Hogsmeade weekends, and then go to the branch for a few days to keep an eye on the rest. For your business, just hire a few people and train them."
"In that case..." Fusco couldn't help but start to enjoy a bright future, "It seems like it's not impossible to consider."
Seeing that he had been persuaded, Glenn unleashed his trump card.
"Let's do this." He said generously, "I can invest 500 Galleons to help build the branch, and only need one-tenth of the dividend. At the same time, the Diagon Alley store will also be exempt from rent for half a year. How about it? , is this condition very sincere?"
As the sole heir of the Ollivander family, Glenn was naturally entitled to adjust the rent, and Fusco had no doubt about this.
Coupled with the substantial investment of 500 Galleons, it really made him feel full of attraction.
Glenn looked at the girl and said with some surprise.
Qiu glanced at him and asked coquettishly: "What? Can't I come to you?"
"Yes! Of course I can!" Glenn nodded quickly without any hesitation.
