Chapter 49
The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for a long time.
Arthur was stunned.
He had been guessing who the big shot was, but he was standing next to him!
In his mind, Argus was just as old as his son.
He might have to ask him to take care of him in the future, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he would stand side by side with his boss!
The dignitaries around him might not even be able to talk to him.
This made it difficult for him to believe his eyes for a while.
Ginny's eyes had turned into hearts.
As early as the first time she saw Argus, she was attracted by this gentle and dignified boy.
After receiving the gift from him, this attraction turned into a girl's admiration.
Young and famous, with extraordinary appearance and elegant temperament.
All these things together are too destructive to a young girl in love!
Mrs. Molly was nothing special, she just urged her.
"Dear, go up quickly, don't let others wait!"
"Okay, Mrs. Molly."
Argus looked calm and didn't show any trepidation.
With elegant and calm steps, he walked up to the ceremony platform and came to Fudge.
"Mr. Grindelwald, please look here!"
The reporter of the Daily Prophet had already arranged it. Seeing Argus and Fudge and others side by side, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
Fudge smiled brightly, gently hugged Argus's shoulders, and acted very intimate.
Argus would naturally not refuse this opportunity to make a big move.
He gave so much money to the British Ministry of Magic, wasn't it for these!
Many members of the pure-blood families around saw this scene and made a secret decision.
Let their children have more contact with Argus!
They had met Argus a few times at some gatherings before, but due to the age difference between the two, they admired him more as a junior.
Even though they knew that he was very popular among the younger generation, they never had any other thoughts.
But now it seems that his skills and vision have long surpassed his peers.
Such a genius who can see the future at a glance, the shrewd pureblood will naturally not let go.
"Thank you all for coming!"
After taking photos with Fudge and other senior executives, Argus bowed slightly to everyone.
His elegant behavior attracted countless people's admiration.
"In order to thank you for taking the time to attend our opening ceremony, all the products in the Saints store are discounted today."
"Buy one and get 10% off, two and get 20% off, and three and get 30% off!"
"In addition, there is a group purchase activity. You can invite any three people and get a discount based on the total number of items purchased by the three people! The more you buy, the more discounts you get!"
In one sentence, the crowd boiled again!
Countless people flocked to the various stores of the Saints Group.
Argus's mouth curled up.
Can't you bear it?
If I play a wizard version of Pinxixi and Double Eleven in the future, won't you go crazy?
These sales methods were left over by many people in the previous life, but they are indeed very novel at this time.
Especially for the backward wizarding world, this is even more so.
Fudge's eyes were almost unable to open with laughter.
No matter how much these stores sell, they will benefit the British Ministry of Magic.
Of course, he hopes to sell as much as possible!
Unlike others, Lucius's eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.
While others were busy socializing, he came to Argus and asked softly.
"Mr. Grindelwald, I admire your promotional methods."
"Just... about our supply reserves, isn't it..."
Argus's expression was calm.
"Don't worry, Mr. Malfoy, I've been ready."
"Please follow me."
The two passed through several narrow tunnels and came to an underground warehouse.
As Argus waved his wand, all the magical animal materials he had purchased from Hagrid were presented to Lucius.
Lucius stared at him.
He rubbed his eyes hard to make sure he was not hallucinating.
"Mr. Grindelwald, these... all these materials are..."
"As you think, they are all stored in our store."
"Incredible, incredible!"
Lucius reached out and touched the unicorn's horn.
The Malfoy family's collection of thousands of years is indeed much more than this, but the amount of collection and the amount of sale are completely two different concepts.
If he were asked to sell magical animal materials in large quantities like Argus, he would never dare to do so.
"Mr. Grindelwald
, I know this question is a bit presumptuous, but I want to know, are these materials the saints' reserves, or..."
"Of course they are from the UK."
Argus smiled slightly.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank the pure-blood families in the UK. These sources were all delivered to me by them personally."
"Delivered to you personally?" Lucius was puzzled.
"Mr. Malfoy, don't you think these materials look familiar?"
"You may have come into contact with these magical animals!"
"I have come into contact with them?" Lucius was confused.
The Malfoy family has always been speculating in land. When have they ever done business in magical animal materials?
Argus saw his expression and stopped keeping him in suspense.
"Hogwarts Forbidden Forest!"
"All these materials come from Hogwarts Forbidden Forest!"
"Hogwarts!! "Lucius was shocked.
As a director of Hogwarts, he knew the background of Hogwarts too well.
How many people's eyes are on this!
I didn't expect that Argus got it!
But he was a little puzzled.
"But what does this have to do with pure-blood families?"
"Hagrid, the guard of the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, you should know, is the half-blood giant." Argus's smile became even stronger.
"He wanted to sell some magical animal materials to the pure-bloods in Diagon Alley before."
"But the people there looked down on him and the prices were so low that they were unbearable to look at."
"I only used the market price and took all the materials from him."
"And we have reached a long-term cooperation. As long as he picks up materials from the Forbidden Forest, I will take them all! "
Lucius was completely dumbfounded.
He had never thought that a Forbidden Forest Guardian could bring such a huge profit!
In addition to regret, he secretly cursed those pure-bloods for being short-sighted!
They couldn't even grab a handful of gold Galleons right in front of them!
Argus got it for free!
If they could show a little sincerity, there would be no need for Argus now!
He could tell by just taking a quick glance at the goods here.
At least tens of thousands of gold Galleons could be earned!
Argus quietly admired Lucius's expression.
He was not worried that he would do something secretly.
Hagrid was so stubborn and had a natural aversion to pure-bloods that he would never cooperate with them.
As for forbidding Hagrid to take things from the Forbidden Forest...
Come on, you also care about what people picked up from the ground?
What a joke!
Lucius was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.
"Mr. Grindelwald, your vision is really admirable."
"The Malfoy family will be your most loyal partner."
