"Take me some cake. Today's chocolate strawberry cake is so delicious. I can eat another three more."

"Do you want orange soda? I asked for an extra cup, you can drink it."

"I heard that the Ministry of Magic is under the jurisdiction of the Muggle Parliament. We will still remain mysterious in the future. The Muggle government will completely block our news. Ordinary people will still be in two worlds with us."

"The new Minister of Magic is Kingscai. Do you know how he got into this position? Humph, because he used to be the secretary of the Prime Minister in the Muggle World, and led the Order of the Phoenix to break up the Muggle Society, so he got into this position. My father said that he was a traitor in the magic world and a lackey of Muggle."

The auditorium at Hogwarts was brightly lit, and many young wizards were eating while discussing the changes of the times.

Times have changed, and the era of magic is gone, and the wizard is no longer high and above. This can be seen in the center of the auditorium, and the British flag is hung.

The national flag is a symbol of national sovereignty, and when the Gryffindor lion, the Scarlettling snake, the Ravenclaw eagle, the Hufflepuff badger, the head of the national flag, who is in the leadership position at a glance.

Among the four academies, Scattering, who pursues pure blood, is the academy that most disgusted with the wizard being ruled by Muggles.

But people are under the roof and have to bow their heads. Some words are OK, but there is only a dead end to the action.

"I talked to Slughorn. He said that the wolf poison potion you made has reached the master level craft and is only one step away from the potion master." Wang Xu sat next to Hermione with a wine glass.

Hermione looked up slightly, lowered her voice and said, "I am like a divine helper in class today. After the professor finished speaking above, I understood below. My brain has never been so clear."

"Then I want to congratulate in advance, our classmate Hermione is going to become a potion master." Wang Xu picked up the wine glass: "Cheer to the potion master!"

Hermione smiled mischievously, touched the cup gently with Wang Xu, and whispered: "What's the point? Isn't it that you're doing work during the day and you're doing it at night?"

"Hehe" the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was indifferent.

the next day

"Welcome to Wang and Granger Potion Store. I am the store manager Wang Xu. This is my chief potionist, Miss Hermione Granger."

After a month of preparation, Wang Xu's pharmacy opened after the first-class wizard world stabilized.

Wang and Granger Potion Store is taken from the surnames of Wang Xu and Hermione. Wang Xu swears to the sky that he is not trying to please the girl, but Hermione is still moved and treats the Potion Store as a part of him.

There were many people on the day of opening, but there were very few customers. Basically, they were professors from Hogwarts or members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Wang Xu was not concerned about this. The magic world was moving from turmoil to stability. Many wizards who fled abroad were returning one after another. The prosperity of Diagon Alley is just around the corner.

Wizards cannot leave potions, and not all wizards are good at refining potions and like to refine them themselves.

According to Wang Xu's market research, the demand for potions in the British magic circle can support 4 to 6 potions stores.

Previously, there were three on Diagonal Alley, two on Tumbling Alley, and five magic shops jointly divided the market, and the market was basically saturated.

Now, there is only one magic shop left in the Overturn Alley, and one of the three magic shops in Diagon Alley has been transferred to him, and the two are still closing down.

In a short period of time, the potion business will definitely be the only one. Wang Xu is actively negotiating with the other two stores in Diagon Alley to buy each other as much as possible and turn the British potion business into a monopoly business.

"Good morning, Mr. Goodrian, Mr. Magill." Two big-bellied wizards walked across from him, and Wang Xu smiled and greeted him.

These two people are the owner of Guderian Potion Store and Maggiller Potion Store. The target Wang Xu wants to acquire is also the competitor that cannot be acquired.

"As early, Mr. Wang, I discussed the proposal you gave us with Maggie. We are very optimistic about the potion industry. Now that Voldemort has stepped down, the magic world is becoming more stable, and the potion store will be a good deal to make money. After discussing with Maggie, I will officially reply to you. We will not sell our own store, and we are not the fool Isaac."

Isaac was the one who sold it to Wang Xu's potion store. Goodrian used Isaac as a representative, obviously showing his determination.

Wang Xu touched his chin and asked, "Is the price not high enough?"

"It has nothing to do with the price. We just don't want to sell the hens that lay eggs. No matter how high the price is, it won't be." Maggie then replied, with a very obvious attitude towards rejection.

Wang Xu nodded slightly, it was not a price issue. Then there was no way to talk about it.

Soon, Goodrian and Maggie left, and the two walked out talking and laughing, as if discussing when the business will open.

"Professor, hasn't the agreement been made?" Hermione, who was in charge of greeting guests with the sign of the chief potionist, walked over from the crowd.

"No, it seems we have to use some commercial means." Wang Xu sighed and whispered: "Create an appointment for me for those medicinal materials suppliers, as well as the owners of the shops around these two shops, and the pharmacists of these two potions."

"What are you going to do?" Hermione looked at him inexplicably.

Wang Xu took a deep breath and replied: "I want to use our financial advantages to raise the prices of herbs and artificial prices to force the prices of herbs to rise. Refining potions is inseparable from two things, one is a potionist and the other is herbs. Both are indispensable. When the price of both increases at the same time, the price of the potions will also rise accordingly, and the original cost price will even approach the current transaction price.

If the price of the potion is not increased, you will lose money. The more you sell, the more you lose. I am rich and powerful. If I don’t raise the price, I will lose money. If the potion cost 10, I will sell it for 9. If they don’t lower the price, they will have no business, and if they lower the price, they will lose money. This is a competition of capital. Whoever has the capital chain breaks first, who will be kicked out."

"What if they close?"

"I will open a branch when they close the door and open five branches in Diagon Alley in one go. The demand for potions in the wizarding world is stable. Diagon Alley can only support the survival of three stores at most. No matter how much customer flow is, it will be dispersed, and no one can make money. In the end, if anyone who makes money will enter an industry that does not make money will only sell their stores to me because my price is the best."

Wang Xu learned from the competition between CNPC and Sinopec. In the late 1990s, CNPC and Sinopec took action and began the acquisition plan of gas stations.

Small gas stations have been acquired one after another, and medium and large gas stations, if you don’t sell them, they will open gas stations at your doorstep.

The traffic flow is stable. There are 1,000 cars in one area, which can only support one gas station to make profits. If two gas stations appear, everyone will lose money.

Many medium and large gas stations go bankrupt in this malicious run. After all, they do not have the funds of the two giants, Petrochemical, and cannot withstand the long-term unprofitable model, so they can only sell their gas stations.

Wang Xu had to use the model of the two giants to integrate the magic shops in Diagon Alley, and even the magic shops in the overturned alley would receive an impact.

Goodrian himself said that he would not sell the hen that placed an order, so if the hen does not lay eggs, can it be sold?

The price battle is bloody. Even if you only get one Gallon, you can still run the other party’s Squikoro.

Wang Xu has strong funds and can withstand it. Guderian and the other two who have just suffered from turmoil will not have such confidence, and will not let an unprofitable store be ruined.
