#489 - Core Hub (asking for monthly ticket recommendation)

"Aren't you afraid he'll really encounter danger if you let him go to the outer perimeter?" Gail teased with a light giggle.

Clement couldn't help but roll his eyes at her words. Could they not know how dangerous patrolling the outer perimeter was? Towards the end, those patrol duties were practically leisurely strolls.

After joking with Clement, Gail became serious again and said, "But is it really okay to promise them new protective gear? Even the club hasn't been able to get many of those tactical vests, and we'd have to compete with the other two bases for them. Although we're the largest, we won't be able to get them in the short term."

"I'm aware of that too." Clement stroked his goatee and continued, "But the maintenance team does face real risks every day. As time goes on, many magical creatures that weren't very dangerous initially have grown larger, and the pressure they put on the maintenance staff is increasing daily."

"If we don't find a way to strengthen their protection, the probability of accidents will only increase. If this happens too often, the conflict between the maintenance and patrol teams will also escalate."

"Your considerations are certainly good, but don't we lack the means?" Gail shrugged helplessly. "Those tactical vests aren't something you can buy with money. Even in the UK, ordinary wizards can't get their hands on that equipment from Silver Flash Trading Company."

Then Gail seemed to realize something. "Are you suggesting we purchase some protective gloves and protective pendants to use first?"

"Frankly, those alchemical items might be useful in the hands of ordinary wizards, but in the park, those toys that can only cast [Protego] aren't very effective."

"Against the flames of those fire dragons, against the claws of those griffins, Protego can at most give them a little more reaction time. Moreover, the members of the maintenance team themselves know [Protego], but they still get injured frequently. Don't waste money in vain."

Gail mercilessly poured cold water on Clement's idea. When Silver Flash Trading Company first entered Germany, they hadn't considered those protective gloves and amulets.

But they also found that while these items were indeed powerful, that was only for ordinary wizards. They were still lacking when facing high-risk magical creatures.

An ordinary [Protego] isn't as effective as a powerful [Full Body Shield], and these gloves and amulets aren't very durable. After activating the built-in magic, they have to go back to replace the core components.

But the German distributor can't replace them in a timely manner. They have to wait for the goods from the UK to arrive, which is very inefficient.

So, considering both practicality and cost, these second-tier items can't become standard equipment for the park.

"I'm aware of that, but perhaps I can find a breakthrough from other directions." Clement smiled mysteriously and handed Gail a letter with elaborate decorations from the table.

Gail took it and saw that it was an invitation. Then she curiously read the contents.

"Anduin Wilson? Is this the founder of Silver Flash Trading Company? He actually wants to invite you to meet?" Gail's mouth dropped open in surprise. "This big shot actually came to Germany in person?"

"Hehe..." Clement smiled smugly. "You've been staying in the park and may not know, but this Mr. Wilson sent me an invitation today. It is said that he came to Germany this time to find stable distributors."

"I specifically checked and found that this is indeed the case. The distributor agreement signed in Egypt before was only for a one-year short-term cooperation. Now, long-term stable partners are needed. The other party has been in Germany for several days and has even met with several local business负责人."

"Oh? You mean?" Gail seemed to understand Clement's idea.

"That's right. Since we can't get equipment from the club, let's think of a way from this Mr. Wilson. If my magical item company can really win the agency of Silver Flash Trading Company, perhaps we can receive tactical vests from Silver Flash Trading Company."

"Even if this equipment is prohibited from being sold privately, being able to get more protective amulets can also make it regular equipment in the park. Although it's a bit troublesome to replace the core every time it's used, it can at least satisfy the maintenance team."

"This is indeed a good opportunity, but are you confident in winning the agency of Silver Flash Trading Company? There should be many merchants vying for this spot. Although I spend most of my time in the park, I also know how popular Silver Flash Trading Company's products are." Gail once again dampened Clement's spirits.

"Why are you always so pessimistic?" Clement glanced at her helplessly. His secretary was good in every way, but she liked to pour cold water on others. "Everyone knows the benefits of winning the agency, but it also requires sufficient financial resources."

"In Germany, there are only three or four merchants who can compete with me. There's no need to consider the merchants in East Germany, because Mr. Wilson should already know that the products代理 in East and West Germany are not the same after a little inquiry. I guess this is why he's so anxious to find new agents."

"If we only look at West Germany, then there are only one or two left to deal with. It just so happens that I have a good relationship with one of them, and I can talk to them privately, even if it means giving up some benefits."

"In this way, as long as I'm willing to spend a lot of money, I'm very confident in winning the agency." Clement said with considerable confidence.

"I see." Gail seemed to think it was really possible after hearing Clement's words. "Then I wish you success in advance."

"Well, then I'll have to trouble you with the work in the park for the next two days. I have to focus most of my attention on the Silver Flash Trading Company agency. I'll leave after I finish the inspection work on the [Core Hub], and I may not come back tomorrow." Clement smiled and instructed Gail.

"Understood, then I'll take my leave first."

Gail nodded slightly and withdrew from the room, and Clement didn't waste any time. He tidied up the room a little and left the office.

Xia Tiya, who heard this outside, learned that Anduin had actually met with this Clement, and knew that her family's master was also taking action. Furthermore, he was not intimidated by the huge array of this breeding base, and seemed determined to destroy this park.

After deducing this news, Xia Tiya finally felt a little relieved. After all, it was not a long-term solution to lurk here, and she could not accept living as a bat all the time.

After leaving the room, Clement walked straight towards the center of the base. Xia Tiya quickly followed him when she saw this.

Along the way, the people in the park, including those wizards and Muggles, stopped and politely greeted Clement when they saw him. Clement also greeted everyone around him very gently, showing that this manager was very loved by everyone in the base.

Clement arrived at the central spire and walked straight in. Xia Tiya also guessed that the [Core Hub] he was talking about must refer to this place, but the spire was very empty all around, and she really couldn't find a way to sneak in.

What Xia Tiya was more concerned about was that Clement had not come out since entering the [Core Hub]. She waited for two hours across from the spire and did not see him again.

"It seems that this [Core Hub] has a way to leave the base directly. Is it a Floo Network set up separately, or does it have an area inside where you can Apparate?" Xia Tiya was curious about what was in this spire after discovering this secret.

At this time, Anduin, who had been busy outside all day, came to Hogg again.

"How is it? Have you recorded all the information about this base clearly?" Anduin looked down at Hogg, who was busy.

"Hehe, although I can't guarantee 100% accuracy now, after all, the area of this base is too large, and the number of surveillance cameras is not enough to cover everything, but I have roughly figured out the situation." Hogg confidently handed a parchment to Anduin.

As a veteran in monitoring, he was able to take care of hundreds of Slytherin wizards in uniform at Hogwarts at the same time, and he could remember all their names clearly. Now it was just a change of place. The only trouble was that he was limited by the slightly fewer monitoring points.

Anduin couldn't help but be secretly surprised after seeing the record sheet handed over by Hogg. He didn't expect that there were so many people in this breeding base.

The wizards in this breeding base can be roughly divided into four categories according to their functions: patrol team, maintenance team, medical team, and handymen.

The patrol team's duty is to be responsible for the security work of the park. There are a total of 36 people, of which 16 are responsible for the night shift and 20 are responsible for the day shift. Among them, there are internal patrol team and external patrol team. 6 people patrol outside at night, and 10 people patrol during the day. The internal patrol personnel are 10 people regardless of day or night shift, and are divided into 5 teams of 2 people.

This arrangement is also normal. The external patrol people will be more likely to come into contact with those Muggles who come to explore or camp. The probability of encountering them during the day will be higher, so more people will be arranged to patrol outside during the day.

The maintenance team is composed of wizards who are responsible for the internal work of the park, mainly responsible for the transportation, placement, and control of dangerous creatures of magical animals. There are 35 people in total, divided into 7 teams, each with 5 people, and each team will be equipped with a captain.

As for the medical team, they are wizards who are responsible for nursing those magical animals. Among them are scholars who are proficient in magical zoology, as well as ordinary healing wizards. The total number of people ranges from 25-30. Most of these wizards spend most of their time in those giant sheds, so Hogg's record is not very clear.
