Chapter 62
The first semester at Hogwarts was the first time that Argus had been separated from Vita for a long time since he traveled to the magical world of Harry Potter. After years of living together day and night, Vita has gradually replaced the role of mother in his life. The only thing that puzzled him was that the other party seemed to have a special liking for dark green robes. She was like this, and so was Professor McGonagall. Do old women like dark green? "Let's go, I'll take you home." Vita didn't know what Argus was thinking. Seeing him standing there in a daze, she thought it was because he hadn't seen her for a long time. She stepped forward, took his hand, and led him out of the station. The two came to an empty corner, and after several apparitions, they appeared in the manor they had purchased.
After not coming back for a while, the manor was still clean.
There was no dust or weeds, obviously because Vita often maintained it.
"Would you like to eat something? I prepared a lot of your favorite food."
After enjoying the food of the Hogwarts house-elves, it was obviously difficult for Argus to enjoy Vita's cooking skills that had not improved in the past ten years.
He tried to clean up most of the food on the table.
Argus rubbed his face, which was a little forced to smile, and picked up the recent income report of the Saints Group.
It showed that in just a few months, the income had reached nearly 20,000 gold galleons.
You know, in the magic world, the monthly salary of an ordinary wizard is 60 to 80 gold galleons.
The professors at Hogwarts only have about 250 to 300.
Harry, who is known as the little local tyrant in the magic world, inherited only tens of thousands of gold galleons.
It was still the accumulation of the Potter family for countless years!
"Sure enough, no matter which world, the most profitable thing is always capital!"
Agus sighed.
He has only opened the store for a few months, and he can earn 10,000 or 20,000 gold galleons. How much do the British purebloods have saved after so many years?
For real estate companies like the Malfoy family, let alone!
Continue to look at the documents on the table.
Seeing that the other stores in Diagon Alley have adopted the same sales methods as the Saints in order to protect their own profits, Agus couldn't help but sneer.
"You really don't want to use your brains at all. Do you think you can make money by learning my sales methods?"
"Just right, Christmas is coming soon, let me show you what real marketing is!"
Agus said, calling Vita to his side, and carefully explained his Christmas sales plan to her.
Vita was stunned.
"Will this work? Will our profits be..."
"Small profits but quick turnover, not to mention that we are not small profits, just a little less profit per product." Agus explained patiently.
"Aunt Vita, goods are only called goods if they are sold. They are worthless if they are just kept in your hands."
"What's more, we have already established a firm foothold in Diagon Alley. The next plan to replace Gringotts requires a lot of gold Galleons."
"The right way is to turn the inventory in hand into gold Galleons as much as possible."
"What do you have planned for Gringotts?" Vita knew that when it came to business, Argus's mind was far superior to hers.
So she didn't dwell too much on this issue, and chose to ask another question instead.
"Gringotts has been quiet for too long. I remember the last time something happened was when I just started school."
"I understand." Vita smiled knowingly.
If you want to talk about business, I may not be good at it.
But if you want to talk about this kind of thing, I know it too well!
Grindelwald did a lot of similar work back then, and now he has the opportunity to return to his old job!
"Remember to make a big fuss, and it's best if those big customers of Gringotts see it with their own eyes."
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
...
Three days later, Christmas is coming.
The whole Diagon Alley was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and gift boxes and pendants symbolizing Santa Claus could be seen everywhere on the street.
The wizards who should have wandered around and taken their families to go shopping were now all gathered around the Saints' shop.
Even if it was crowded, it couldn't stop these people's crazy steps.
This morning, they received a message as soon as they arrived at Diagon Alley.
During Christmas, all the goods in the stores under the Saints Group were sold at a reduced price, and the full reduction mechanism was enabled.
Ten gold galleons were reduced by three, twenty gold galleons were reduced by seven, and fifty gold galleons were reduced by twenty!
The more you sell, the more you can reduce!
Support cross-store mergers!
The wizards' arithmetic ability was not strong to begin with, and they heard the fight.
The discount is already crazy.
What's more, there is a discount for every full purchase!
18 equals 8, 28 equals 16, March 8th Women's Day...
Rounding up, it's like giving it away for free!
In a hurry, a group of wizards didn't care about shopping and strolling, and rushed to the Saint's store like crazy!
If Argus hadn't made preparations in advance, the first stampede in the wizarding world would probably have happened in the Saint!
"Shopping guide, give me a pint of Acromanthus venom!"
"Okay, sir, this is your receipt, please take it, there is a special cashier at the end of the street, who will calculate the total amount of gold galleons you spent this time based on your receipt, and deliver the goods to you after you pay."
"Shopping guide, I want a bird snake feather!"
"Shopping guide, give me a pint of venomous leopard saliva!"
"Shopping guide, I want a wizard robe!"
Before a young wizard finished speaking, countless wizards rushed forward behind him.
Originally, Argus arranged about ten shopping guides in a store, thinking that it was more than enough.
But looking at the current situation, let alone ten, even twenty may not be enough!
The Aurors responsible for maintaining order in the store have long been squeezed away.
Many even joined the rush to buy!
They work hard, but only earn more than a hundred gold galleons a month.
If you want to buy the materials and potions you need, you have to save for a long time.
It's not easy to come across a discount promotion, how can you let it go easily!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't worry, the Saint's store has enough goods."
"There will never be a shortage of stock, so there is no need to be impatient, please queue up in order."
As it approached noon, the popularity of the Saint's store not only did not decrease, but became more crowded due to word of mouth among wizards.
Argus also stood up at this time, pointing his wand to his throat, explaining to everyone.
"Wizards waiting outside the store don't have to worry. We have prepared a rest area for you. Tea and drinks are available without limit!"
The crowd cheered immediately.
Agus signaled the Saints behind him with his eyes, and tables and chairs were immediately placed near the store.
At the same time, a long cordon was set up at the door to prevent too many people from pouring in like in the morning.
Not far away, the back teeth of several pure-blood shop owners were creaking.
They managed to keep their current customers by learning the sales model of the Saints.
Knowing that Christmas is coming, they deliberately lowered the price again.
Who would have thought that the other party would be so generous!
Now it's too late for them to lower the price. All the wizards have been sucked away by the Saints and don't come here at all!
Look at the Saints' side, there is no room for them!
Look at their side, there is no more than a slap in total, and the boss and employees have to be added.
Several bosses are ready to cry!
Just then, a violent explosion sounded!
