#457 - Big change (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

Diagon Alley, first floor of Silver Lightning Alchemy Development Company.

Although only a little over three months have passed since Anduin's trip to Egypt, the changes inside the company are now so great that they can almost be described as unrecognizable.

The original store on the first floor was only a little over 200 square meters in space. In the beginning, Anduin even specifically separated a very small area of ​​a few dozen square meters as a shop. Later, although it continued to expand, it only used the previous space.

But if you enter from the gate at this time, the store in front of you has at least 3,000 square feet of space, which has obviously been expanded by the 'Undetectable Extension Charm'.

At the same time, the vertical space has also been expanded upwards, raising the original nearly four-meter-high ceiling to six or seven meters high, and all of it has been decorated with magical decorations and lighting.

This was inspired by Anduin's visit to the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center. The decoration there can be described as luxurious, simply blinding everyone's eyes, and leaving a deep impression on everyone who enters.

So Anduin absorbed some of the Egyptian decoration style, added some features, and renovated the ceiling and walls.

And the sales area at this time has changed even more drastically, looking like an international supermarket at a glance.

Since Anduin has signed trade contracts with many foreign companies, Silver Lightning Company's products will be exported overseas, and many foreign props have also appeared in Anduin's store.

Among them, in addition to the previously seen alchemy props such as magic cameras and weather carpets, there are also many non-alchemy products or semi-alchemy products, because most of the wizarding world's alchemy props are basically monopolized by Egypt, and some countries do not have alchemy product specialties.

Therefore, Silver Lightning Company has magical fashion and beauty potions from the French wizarding world, wines and magical kitchenware from the Italian wizarding world, and magical tents and snacks from Northern Europe.

Anduin even signed a distribution contract with the Romanian uncle who had set up a stall with him before, after all, that uncle helped him a lot in the Carrahei Market, and now he also has a large number of magical animal hams, sausages, and bacon.

However, seeing Hogg staring at these meat products every day, Anduin knew that he must not leave this guy behind when he was not at home.

Silver Lightning Company also specially renovated to welcome these foreign products. At the same time, Anduin also reconfigured the internal area and specially created a foreign specialty area, and then divided and placed the goods by country.

Of course, its own products will definitely be placed in the most central and front positions.

In fact, selling these alchemy props in your own store does not make much money, the profit is only 5%-10%.

Or it can't be said that it doesn't make money, but it is not as profitable as directly selling the alchemy props it produces. Usually, the profit is around 50%, which makes Anduin's appetite a lot bigger.

But the most important role of introducing foreign goods is to attract traffic and expand influence. You must know that his store is the only international store in the UK.

If this continues to develop, it may even become a landmark shop in the British wizarding world. In fact, even now, basically all British wizards know this company.

In the future, if you ask a wizard who was born in the UK, if he doesn't know Silver Lightning Company and doesn't have one or two props produced by Silver Lightning Company on his body, then he is definitely not a genuine British wizard!

Even due to the influence of Anduin and Silver Lightning, many magical broom production companies and Quidditch teams in the UK hope to cooperate with him.

These institutions want to sell magical brooms and Quidditch peripherals on his behalf.

However, Anduin painfully rejected this request, because this kind of behavior is too hateful. Originally, the business of other local alchemy shops is not very prosperous, and they are all like Quidditch specialty stores.

If he also robs Quidditch's business, wouldn't he be forcing people to death?

In fact, even now, Mrs. Primpernell next door is already very unhappy with them. Originally, one sells alchemy props and the other sells beauty potions. There is no conflict between the two, and even before, because Silver Lightning Company's business was booming, Mrs. Primpernell's business also benefited a little.

But it's different since Anduin started doing import business, because the French beauty potions sold in Silver Lightning Company are not only beautifully packaged, but also of very good quality. Although they are said to be more expensive, doesn't expensive represent quality?

Mrs. Primpernell is now almost numb. She can't compete with Anduin with those shoddy potions she used to use. This also leads to Mrs. Primpernell no longer having the previous kindness in her eyes when she sees Anduin.

So in order not to over-attack the local business environment and cause public anger, Anduin has raised the prices of those imported goods a lot, and does not accept the entry of local superior goods. He only sells props independently produced by Silver Lightning Company and products of cooperative companies.

At the same time, he also visited several alchemy shops in the UK during this period and reached an agreement with them, so that Silver Lightning Company's props can appear on their counters.

Of course, the profit they sell on consignment is very low, probably less than 3%, and they can only sell goods for civilians, and there are not as many styles as in Silver Lightning Company.

But given Silver Lightning Company's current reputation and international status, those alchemy shops readily agreed, after all, now they can also sell magic lamps, phonographs and records, so at least they can attract a lot of customers.

Moreover, such profits are not considered particularly small in the eyes of those shop owners. It's no big deal if they add a price themselves. Selling it a little more expensive than the main store, presumably most wizards will not have any objections.

The reason for making such an arrangement, in addition to attracting local alchemy shops, is mainly because Anduin is preparing to transform Silver Lightning Company, no longer completely the previous front shop and back factory, self-production and self-sale.

Instead, it began to look up to those large local flying broom manufacturing companies, mainly focusing on development and production, and gradually dispersing retail to foreign partners and other local alchemy shops.

Of course, the main store in Diagon Alley will continue to open. The props sold here will definitely be the most complete, and the retail stores will sell new products and high-profit products, so that sales will be higher, and the types of products to be produced will not become particularly complicated.

After Anduin properly arranged the affairs in Silver Lightning Company, he was able to free up his hands and go to Europe with peace of mind.

At this time, in the office behind the shop, Anduin, Hogg, Shatia, Kiki, Vivian and Aselia were sitting.

"Master, are you ready?" Kiki looked at Anduin a little nervously, "If you take Shatia away this time, I will be the only one left in the company. I am a little worried that I won't be able to handle it."

After hearing Kiki's words, before Anduin could say anything, Vivian rolled her eyes first, "Oh, Kiki, am I invisible? After they leave, won't I stay to help? And there is also Aselia, with the three of us, can't we take care of a broken shop?"

"Um, I don't mean that..." Kiki immediately shook her head nervously after hearing Vivian's accusation, "I just... now the company has expanded so much, and there are still many foreign businesses to connect with. There are quite a few orders that have been promised that have not been processed yet. I am afraid that I will mess things up and delay the master's business."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Kiki." Anduin smiled calmly, "You are the most familiar with the company's business besides me. I am very relieved to leave it to you. When I am not here, you are the manager of Silver Lightning. Remember what I told you before, learn to think for yourself. Haven't you been doing well before?"

"Stop being so nagging, since Anduin continues to hire me, I will not abandon the company!" Vivian interjected with a very thick skin.

Hearing this, Hogg glanced at her speechlessly. What does the master's conversation with Kiki have to do with you? And if it wasn't because you ran to apply for a job at a certain magical gossip magazine and failed, how could you shamelessly run over and ask the master to take you in?

After sighing speechlessly, Hogg raised his head and glanced at Shatia, "Hey, stinky bat, have you finished testing the sunscreen on your body? Don't cry when you get sunburned!"

"Nonsense! Do you think I would joke about my life like you, a silly dog?" Shatia, with the appearance of a loli, curled her lips in disdain and sprayed at Hogg.

At this time, Shatia's clothes are very different from before. Although it is still the Gothic Lolita style lace dress, there is a layer of close-fitting black stockings on her legs, and she also wears a pair of lace long gloves on her hands, and a small hat connected to a lace sunshade on her head, which looks a bit more seductive and a bit more mysterious.

At the same time, her clothes basically wrap her whole body tightly. This is actually a sunscreen combat suit specially developed by Anduin for Shatia, which can ensure that she can move and fight normally in the sun, although there are still some exposed positions on her body, but it will not cause adverse reactions.

"Okay, if you two quarrel again, I will leave you here. Anyway, I don't have to take you on the action." Anduin glanced at the two of them, then looked at Kiki again, "Take care of the house, and keep an eye on this guy Vivian. There are still a lot of foods sold in the store, don't let her steal them."

"Hey, are you being a little too outrageous? I'm still next to you, and you say that." Vivian glared at Anduin and said angrily.

Anduin rolled his eyes at her, then looked at Aselia again, "You also need to pay attention. If you receive any news from headquarters or the evil婆, remember to contact me in time, and I may go to Northern Europe to see if I can rescue your sister by the way."
