#314 - Order

"Amelia is right, we also have to consider the cost, and I'm also planning to purchase several humanoid targets for daily training," Minister Bardnor agreed.

"That humanoid target is indeed a good thing, and Anduin's concept of power value mentioned earlier is also very valuable for reference," Amelia nodded in agreement.

"Perhaps..." Minister Bardnor pondered for a moment, then looked up at the others, "In the future, we can use humanoid targets to test candidates preparing to join the field, as well as for promotion assessments for frontline staff. Wouldn't the results we get be more standardized that way?"

Hearing Minister Bardnor's words, several directors also lowered their heads to think. Among the departments under their command in the Ministry of Magic, the Minister was basically targeting the three of them regarding the allocation of field personnel.

Adding humanoid targets to employee assessments would indeed make it easier to select more outstanding talents for them, but being too standardized wouldn't be a good thing for them either. If they wanted to place some cronies or acquaintances in the future, wouldn't it be troublesome if they were blocked by this thing?

"Hmm?" Seeing everyone's silence, Bardnor guessed their little thoughts and frowned as he scanned the room.

"I think there's no problem!"

"Minister is wise!"

"Minister, you are truly far-sighted!"

Seeing Minister Bardnor's expression, they understood that the Minister's mind was made up, and their opinions couldn't change anything, so they immediately expressed their attitude.

Moody glanced at the few people sarcastically, secretly laughing in his heart, 'You still want to play tricks with the Minister, you're just courting death.'

"Okay, let's settle it then. I've decided to order three humanoid targets first, one for each department. Power tests must be added to future ability assessments, and we'll increase the number when conditions allow," Minister Bardnor finalized the decision.

"Yes, Minister!" Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion, the others had no choice but to obey.

"Now that the procurement target has been determined, let's discuss the number of equipment to order, as well as the priority of the equipment. After all, it takes time for Anduin to produce them."

Under the chairmanship of Minister Bardnor, the directors finalized the specific details of this procurement.

So, without making Anduin wait too long, they called him into the small conference room.

"Anduin, here are the specific amounts of equipment we've ordered. Take a look. The Anti-Magic Handcuffs and Tracking Eyeglasses need to be supplied with priority. How long will it take you to deliver them?" Amelia pushed a piece of parchment to Anduin, who had just sat down opposite her.

Anduin picked up the parchment and was delighted when he saw the numbers recorded on it. As expected of the Ministry of Magic, they were so generous.

The equipment ordered by the Ministry of Magic included 100 Defense Charms, 80 Communication Charms, and 50 Sonic Boom and Flash Charms each. The charms alone were worth 3160 Galleons.

The Ministry of Magic ordered 80 pairs of Tracking Eyeglasses and Anti-Magic Handcuffs each, which was probably enough to equip most of the field personnel. They also pre-ordered 50 pairs of Defense Gloves. The Self-Checking Pocket Watches were fewer, only 10. All of them added up to 6800 Galleons.

The quantities of the two types of jammers ordered varied greatly. They only wanted 5 Shielding Jammers, but they ordered 20 Anti-Apparition Jammers, which cost 2850 Galleons in total.

Plus, they also wanted three humanoid targets for 2250 Galleons. Unfortunately, they didn't want any Tactical Backpacks or Tactical Boots, which showed that the Ministry of Magic's orders were very targeted.

However, Anduin didn't care about this, because in addition to this large batch of supplies, there should be many Ministry of Magic employees who would come to buy them individually later.

But with this order alone, he could earn 15060 Galleons, and only he knew that the net profit alone could reach 10000 Galleons. He was quite satisfied with such income.

Of course, although bulk orders were great, it wouldn't be so easy to sell so many products at once again in the future. More would depend on renovating old products and retail sales, unless he could find more customers.

"I'll expedite the production of the Tracking Eyeglasses and Anti-Magic Handcuffs for you, and they should be delivered within three days. I can also replenish the rest of the items within a month. What do you think?" Anduin calculated slightly in his mind. If he also personally participated in the production, such a construction period could be fully supported.

"Really?" Minister Bardnor and several directors were slightly surprised when they heard that they could pick up the goods in just three days. After all, that was more than a hundred alchemical items.

"You're not going to give us a discount on the quality, are you? We won't accept it if the quality is not up to standard," Amelia interjected and emphasized.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to deceive the Ministry of Magic. You can inspect the goods yourself when the time comes. If the product quality is not up to standard, I can guarantee a free return," Anduin said with a confident smile.

"If you can really do it so quickly, that would be great. By the way, after these two items are completed, please give priority to supplying us with Anti-Apparition Jammers. The humanoid targets can be delivered last," Minister Bardnor said, feeling slightly relieved after hearing Anduin's guarantee, and then added.

"No problem, the customer is Merlin, so I will naturally do my best to meet your requirements," Anduin nodded and smiled.

"Well, if everything can really go smoothly, then you will have helped us a lot," Minister Bardnor nodded, then took out another piece of parchment, "This is the risk assessment report for your company's products."

"Among the products you are currently selling, Defense Charms, Communication Charms, Protective Gloves, and Self-Checking Pocket Watches are classified as XX-level products and can be sold to all wizards."

"The remaining two types of charms, as well as Anti-Magic Handcuffs, Tracking Eyeglasses, Tactical Backpacks, Boots, and Humanoid Targets are classified as XXX-level and can only be sold to the Ministry of Magic or its employees. Remember to register the Ministry of Magic employee account of the purchaser when selling them."

"As for those two types of jammers, they are classified as XXXX-level items and must not be sold to anyone other than the official Ministry of Magic. Even if Ministry of Magic personnel come to purchase them, they must produce the corresponding approval form."

"If you violate the relevant regulations, then your company is equivalent to violating the laws of the Ministry of Magic, understand?" Minister Bardnor kept a straight face when talking about this, appearing very serious.

"I understand," Anduin nodded equally seriously, then looked at Minister Bardnor with some confusion, "Why are Humanoid Targets also classified as XXX-level? They don't have any harmfulness."

"XXX-level represents the danger that capable wizards can cope with, and the humanoid target has a mechanism for launching spells. This function is relatively dangerous for individual adult wizards with slightly weaker abilities, and for underage wizards," Minister Bardnor explained.
