Chapter 434： ? Cross-border selling

Facing Dumbledore who was feeling a little out of control, Mike neither comforted nor explained, but just looked at him silently.

About five minutes later, Dumbledore took a deep breath and finally raised his head, looking at Mike with a complicated expression and said:

"I'm starting to regret leaving this matter to you."

"What? You have an affair with the Avery family?"

"It's just a few trivial friendships," Dumbledore said with an open hand. "I just think your handling of these things is too extreme. It's not good, very bad."

"I know, I will change it." Mike replied insincerely, "So now can you tell me about this pendant box?"

Dumbledore's expression was a little helpless, he knew that Mike was completely perfunctory, but in the end he picked up the pendant box and said while looking at it:

"First of all, this is indeed a real Slytherin pendant box."

Mike's brows frowned quickly. This was the answer he least wanted to hear.

"In addition, I found some remnants of familiar flavors on it. I can be sure that it is definitely Voldemort's flavor. This also shows that your guess is correct. This pendant box is indeed a Horcrux." Dumbledore frowned. "At least it used to be a Horcrux, because the smell on it now is very weak, which means that someone first removed the Voldemort's spirits attached to it, and did it without damaging the pendant box. !"

Hearing that Mike was relieved at first, his expression became solemn again.

The Soul Dispersion from the Slytherin pendant box was removed, which is definitely good news for Mike, because it shows that Voldemort's Horcrux now only has Harry Potter.

But at the same time Mike also smelled a conspiracy.

Besides them, who else is destroying Horcruxes?

What purpose does that person or group of people have?

...

Countless questions kept popping up in Mike's mind, which made him miserable.

Reason told him that the guy who wiped out the distraction on the pendant box was probably Chris, but Mike couldn't figure out why the other party did it.

You know Chris is a pure-blooded wizard, and Voldemort's existence is good for them. In that case, why did they do this kind of thing?

After a moment of thought, Mike, who was still puzzled, finally raised his eyes and looked at Dumbledore.

"Do you think that person would be Chris? Why would he do this?"

Compared to Mike's dignity, Dumbledore's expression was much lighter.

Facing Mike's question, he slowly spread his hand out and persuaded:

"Anyway, judging from the results, we are still successful? Although we don't know what those people think, at least one Horcrux has been wiped out. You have done well, and the rest is left to Me, I will take care of it. As for you, I suggest you take a good rest or review potions. After all, you didn’t like this course very much when Snape was there, so your grades were not very satisfactory. . But this year is different. I am going to invite a new professor of potions. This new professor is different from Snape. He is very friendly and strict."

While talking, Dumbledore suddenly laughed as if he was thinking of something happy.

But the Mike opposite him was obviously not in a good mood, he just narrowed his eyes and continued to stare at Dumbledore.

Mike knew very well that what Dumbledore meant was to ask him to leave these things alone.

I believe this is because Dumbledore made the decision after misunderstanding that Mike had massacred the entire Avery family.

Dumbledore would rather drag his half-dead body around and run around than let the tragedy of the Avery family reappear!

In this regard, Mike still did not make other excuses.

Afterwards, Dumbledore began to talk to Mike about the Hogwarts new semester's precautions. He seemed to want Mike to return his attention to school and study, and kept telling Mike about Hogwarts. Interesting things happened in Cli.

To be honest, the events he told are very interesting and the narrative level is also very high.

However, there is really no difficulty for Dumbledore. After all, he has been at Hogwarts for nearly a hundred years. Mike even suspects that if he needs to, he can talk about it and never repeat the previous day. Overnight.

It's just that Mike is useless for Mike.

To be honest, he has no interest in Hogwarts, because the Hogwarts courses are no longer helpful to him.

The reason why Mike continues to go to school is to monitor the movements of the Harry Potter trio. For the protagonist trio of the original book, Mike has not relaxed his vigilance for a moment.

In addition, his subordinates at Hogwarts are also an important reason.

It's just that now most of his subordinates are also about to graduate, and Voldemort is about to launch a more fierce attack, Mike is even ready, as long as the opportunity is right next school year, he will leave Hogwarts at any time !

Naturally, Dumbledore didn’t know all of this, and when Mike saw that the other party was no longer willing to disclose more information, he got up directly, bowed to Dumbledore with a blank expression, and then turned around and left the office before leaving. Qian didn't even forget to hold the string of Slytherin pendant boxes in his arms.

Mike left the forest villa at a very fast speed. When he walked out of the villa, the house elf who didn't know whether it was called a small tea cup or a small teapot greeted Mike again diligently.

Of course, Mike still ignored him, and sent away with the door key with a black face.

At this time, on the balcony of the forest house, Dumbledore shook his head helplessly as he watched Mike's leaving twisted figure and the somewhat lost house elf in the garden.

...

Mike was busy again after leaving the villa in the forest.

As mentioned before, the exploitation of resources in the Avery Secret Realm is an extremely tedious and huge task. Mike is not a black-hearted capitalist. He would not allow Benjamin to complete such a huge workload alone.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason, but in fact it is because the efficiency of letting Benjamin handle it alone is too low.

After drew a dozen business elites from Los Santos and worked together for a few days, Mike finally figured out the specific situation of the Avery family industry.

The production cost of Avery Magic Cloth and Avery Magic Liquid is actually very low. It can even be said that there is no cost at all. After all, the labor and raw materials are completely free.

And their output is amazing.

But in order to maintain stable market prices and high profits, the Avery family has been controlling the amount of Avery magic liquid and magic cloth circulating in the market over the years.

And the most direct result of this is that the goods hoarded in Avery Secret Realm have reached an eye-popping amount.

Since Mike wants to squeeze out all the profits in Avery Secret as soon as possible, he intends to sell these goods all at once.

Only in this way, the profit that can be gained from buying and selling is very low, because the influx of such large quantities of goods into the market will inevitably saturate the market and cause the price of goods to fall.

This is almost an unsolvable problem for the original Avery family, because their market basically only exists in the local area of ​​the country, and the number of local wizards in the country is not too much.

But for Mike, it is much simpler to solve this problem.

You know, they have been planning overseas markets years in advance. Major wizarding areas such as France and the U.S. even have specialty stores of Los Santos Group.

Although these stores have been losing money, Mike has never given up on them, and now, Mike's investment has finally paid off.

Through the International Floo Network, a large number of goods that have been renamed Los Santos Magic Cloth and Los Santos Magic Liquid are directly transported to Los Santos specialty stores in various wizarding places around the world.

These extremely effective materials directly conquered all the local clothing manufacturers and potionists.

Not only that, Mike also refers to the Muggle World’s low-price zone policy when selling these products. When facing the black witch shamans on the African land, the price of Los Santos magic liquid and magic cloth will be much lower. , At the same time, it continued to launch preferential activities, continuously discounting the original price, which brought down the price in the high-priced area, and the price in the low-priced area became even lower.

In comparison, the prices in European countries such as France and the United Kingdom are more expensive. Of course, compared to the prices in these countries in the United States, they are still cheaper, because Mike directly increased the prices of these two goods in the United States. Almost twice!

There is no way. At this stage, the wizards in the U.S. are the richest in the wizarding world, just like the U.S. itself. How could Mike miss such a chance to slaughter him.

As for Asia, Mike did not give them much discount.

Especially for the wizards or fairies in that huge ancient country, Mike's price is almost exactly the same as that of Qiguo.

This is because the group of wizards who claim to be immortals are all big money, and the economic conditions of the wizarding society are not worse than that of the country!

Due to the existence of the low-price zone policy, a brand new profession has emerged, that is, overseas purchasing agents.

They usually go back and forth between the low-price area and the high-price area, and help wizards such as the high-price area to buy cheaper goods through smuggling and other methods.

It is actually very simple to deal with these people. It is enough to limit the products sold in the low-price area.

But Mike didn't do that. He didn't want to choke all these agents to death. Therefore, although he also limited the sale of the low-price area, the scope of this limited quantity of goods was firmly controlled by him in a range where the purchasing agents had money but not much.

The main reason for this is to make the name of the Los Santos Group more widely known!

Facts have proved that this kind of policy is very effective. Under Mike’s connivance, the European market, which had become a little gloomy because of the return of Voldemort, has once again become lively. A large number of purchasing agents, and the use of Los Santo’s magic cloth and magic liquid. Products flow into the market.

For a time, Los Santos magic liquid and magic cloth became famous, and as the producer and seller of these two kinds of goods, the name of Los Santos Group also reverberated throughout the wizarding world.

And all of this happened in just half a month.

In the past half month, Mike has directly cleared all the inventory in Avery Secret!

Due to the low-price zone and continuous preferential activities, although there are constant subsidies in the high-price zone, the profit from selling this batch of goods is still somewhat less than expected.

But these are just small problems. Mike's original goal-to quickly drain the benefits and realize it.

And now the markets all over the world have been opened up, and the reputation of Los Santos Group and Magic Cloth Liquid should also be hit!

The current needs of the global market can never be satisfied with a small Avery secret.

So what Mike will do next is to increase the price as it should be!

Those who are used to magic cloth and magic liquid will slowly find that the goods they need will become more and more expensive, and eventually become more expensive than they were originally in the country.

This is the long-term development plan that Mike made as a backup. The original Avery family was too conservative, and they did not dare to drag overseas markets, causing a large amount of goods to be hoarded.

In Mike's opinion, this is really a waste, and now that he is here, it can't let this happen again.

If his plan can proceed smoothly, the output of Avery Secret Realm in the future will be several times the original!

Of course, the reason why Mike can make so much money is also due to the hard work of the giant ants in the secret realm Mike originally thought that the queen Lilith would still treat him for a while, after all, From the other side's point of view, his actions may have a hint of gratitude and revenge.

But in fact, after observation, Mike found that instead of being lazy, the ants were working harder!

This made Mike a little puzzled.

But Mike still likes the way they try to make money for themselves, so Mike relaxes some of the resource blockade on the queen.

Begin to allow Lilith to ask for some food and belongings within a certain range.

Mike swears that his intention to do this is to compensate and reward Lilith, the queen ant, but Lilith obviously treats this as a salary for work or something.

As a result, on the second day after the gift was given, all the ants in Avery’s secret territory went crazy. They started to cut down those mushrooms frantically, even the soldiers who didn’t need to work at all All have been sent out to carry supplies!

Mike, who was in the office of the Freemasonry Secret Territory, was a little stunned after listening to Penello.

But after reacting, he laughed, and laughed happily.

"Hahaha, it seems that she likes my gift very much. That's great. If they can continue to maintain this enthusiasm for work, the ration for Lilith will double next month."

"understood."

Penello smiled and took down Mike's words, ready to pass them on later.

And the Mike in front of him finally returned to normal, smiling and saying:

"Help me gather all the Freemasonry members. I will have a small meeting later."
