Rushing out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in embarrassment, Harry breathed a long sigh of relief after making sure that little Harry, who had recovered well, had nothing wrong with him. She had to leave the imperial capital immediately and avoid Lilith for the time being, hoping that after this time, her interest in herself could be dissipated.

I originally planned to go to Prontera to see how the business of the shampoo and bath series was developing, and by the way, I helped Nilander get 100 binoculars. Then go back to Jifen directly to take Tang Ling to the imperial capital, her parents are already free, and she must miss it too.

Kiru and Senny have been getting better recently, and they must not be willing to go to Prontra with him, and it seems that there is no use in his place anyway, so I don't want to break up the two of them.

In the past, Kiru only had feelings for himself in his heart, but he didn't have any attachment to life, so he only wanted to repay himself wholeheartedly. The appearance of Xianni finally made him feel the beauty of life, and his heart began to be full of sunshine again unconsciously. The grief of the past faded, and now Kiru finally stopped having his sole goal of repaying Harry. However, his relationship with Harry was as strong as ever, and if Harry needed his help, he would say yes. Harry was also very happy with the situation, and finally Keru had learned to see himself as an equal friend, and there were not many friends he could 'make', and Kiru was one of the rare ones.

Without any preparation, Harry said hello to Kirusani and left. Relying on flying skills all the way, he arrived in Prontera that night.

Harry knew that 'Men' Teleev had a habit of going to bed early, and it was already late at night when he arrived, so he didn't bother him. Although Prontera's large 'door' was closed, it was a bit noticeable that Harry chose to sneak into Gargamel's house.

Harry shook his head and had to wait outside, but the room was quiet and a little weird, and Harry couldn't help but use his 'spirit' power to inquire about it, and there was only one person in the room!

Harry went up and knocked on the door, and it was only after the sound that the door opened.

"What are you doing?" said Harry as he entered the door, but he soon noticed that Gargamel's eyes were bloodshot and full of exhaustion. is completely different from the obscene, cunning, and 'shrewd' middle-aged uncle in my previous impression.

Gargamel's depressed expression was swept away when he saw Harry, and he cried out, "Your Excellency, you're finally back!"

"What's going on?" Gargamel's appearance made Harry keenly aware that something big must be happening. Gargamel wasn't so frustrated when he was exposed by himself.

"It's not a good thing!" Gargamel said with an exaggerated face, "our shampoo and bath products are about to change hands!"

It turned out that after Harry left, the first month was fine, and according to the plan, the 400 sets of products of ** quickly brought 300,000 gold coins to Harry's business group, and everything was on the right track.

Harry put the financial power in the hands of Mendeleev, and the original intention was that Mendeleev didn't care about money, so it should be safe and reliable. In fact, it is. But the bad thing is that the 'door' Terev doesn't take money as money.

Mendeleev had a 30% share of the shares, and his financial situation improved dramatically, so the auction house became a frequent place for him. At first, there was no problem, although the magic materials auctioned were valuable, they were also affordable by Mendeleev, after all, the things that could make him look at were all rare things, and there were not many things that could be bought.

So Gargamel didn't notice that he was satisfied as long as he got his share of the commission. But three months later, 'Mendeleev' suddenly came to Gargamel and said that he wanted to borrow money!

Gargamel's sales of the shampoo and bath series exceeded 1 million gold coins at that time, excluding the apprentice's salary and some costs, as well as public relations fees and the like, and the net income was about 1 million gold coins. In other words, the 'Gate' Dyleev can get a share of 300,000 gold coins, how can the 'Gate' Tryrev have no money with so much money?

Gargamel heard something strange about this. It turned out that since the second month, Mendeleev had often bought a large number of items from the auction house, all of which were precious and abnormal, rare alchemy materials. Moreover, the price of these materials is surprisingly high, Gargamel knows very little about alchemy materials, but as far as he knows, the price of these materials is at least 10 times higher than the market price!

What is the concept of 10 times? Ordinary items can be 'delivered' at the auction house at 1.1-1.3 times the market price, rare items can be 'delivered' at about 1.5-2 times the market price, and ** items can be 'delivered' at only 2-3 times the market price. And the alchemy materials bought back by 'Men' Deleev are at most rare, although they are rare, but they are not nowhere to be found, for example, you can go to the mercenary union to issue a no-** task, and many materials will be delivered to the mercenary in your hands, and the 'spending' fee is only 1.5 times the market price.

So Gargamel immediately guessed that someone must have maliciously raised the price. For example, the other party does what he likes, collects a lot of materials that 'Men' Deleev is interested in and auctions them in the auction house, and then entrusts others to participate in the bidding, and 'Men' Deleev is an expert in alchemy, and buying things can only be regarded as a big wrong, no matter how high the price is raised by others, as long as he thinks it is worth taking, he will auction it all. As for whether the price is high or low, it is not something he cares about.

Therefore, even if the shampoo and bath series sold well, he couldn't withstand the toss of 'Mendeleev', and he not only divided his and Harry's two shares of gold coins into the defeated 'Jing' Guang, but also owed 500,000 gold coins in foreign debt. Because the auction house did not need to pay the bill on the spot, Mendeleev later found that he had no gold coins to pay off his debts. So the 'door' Deleev 'confused' and 'confused' the formula and production technology of the shampoo and bath series as collateral to the auction house, of course, it is only a paper contract, and the formula and technology have not been 'delivered' for the time being. But if you can't come up with enough gold to repay the bill within a month, then the formula and technology of the shampoo and bath series really belong to someone else.

Gargamel secretly complained that even if he took out all the four months' commissions, it would only be enough to fill the gap of 100,000 gold coins, and how could he get out the 400,000 gold coins? But fortunately, there are still more than 20 days to go, and if he produces dozens of more sets of products this month and sells them, he can barely make up the remaining 400,000 gold coins.

Then, something even stranger happened, as if all the nobles of Prontera had discussed, the shampoo and bath series in Gargamel's hands could no longer be sold, for 20 days in a row, the sales volume was only a mere 40 sets, basically the ordinary version, seeing that the time for the book to be reprinted αр.1 (6) κXs.сom contract ** was about to come, Gargamel was anxious for a few days without sleeping, and he was trying to figure out how to make up 400,000 gold coins.

Seeing that Harry was back, he seemed to have met a savior, and he 'handed over' everything to Harry. He has nothing to do, if it weren't for the fact that several noble 'ladies' who were 'friends' with him secretly bought a lot of products, I am afraid that he would not be able to sell a set.

After hearing this, Harry's brows immediately tightened, and he didn't need to think about it to know that someone was secretly indulging in all this, and this person's purpose was the formula technology of the shampoo and bath series. It seems that it was a big mistake to 'hand' over the financial power to 'Men' Deleev at the beginning, and it is the right way to 'hand' money to someone who understands money. Even if Gargamel wasn't very reliable, at least he understood the importance of gold and knew how to protect and use it. Even if Gargamel escapes with money, he will only lose some gold coins, and he will always be able to earn it back over time, after all, his products have no cost at all, and Gargamel has no background or strength, how can he escape?

As far as it seems now, Gargamel is still a qualified employee, the formula and technology of the shampoo and bath series are completely none of his business, he doesn't have to lend his commission to 'Mendeleev' to pay off his debts, even if the formula and technology are transferred, he Gargamel has 100,000 gold coins enough for him to 'spend' for a lifetime. But now he was anxious about his own business, which couldn't help but make Harry a little moved.

Hmph, who dared to hit me in the head, Harry was secretly angry in his heart. The other party was sure that Gargamel had no strength and no background, and although the strength and identity of 'Gate' Deleev were there, he was an old fool, and he was deceived and let him fall into the trap. If you are not the person in charge behind it, this recipe and technology may really be 'got' by the other party.

But who is this secretly indulgent person? Auction house? On the surface, it is indeed very similar, after all, it all revolves around the auction house. But on a deeper level, auction houses have always been known for their reputation, and there is no reason why they designed the 'Gate' Dyleev for an alchemical formula. And with such a large backstage background of the auction house, it is impossible for their proprietors not to consider the magical union behind the 'Gate' Deleev. Besides, although his business makes a lot of money, it is still small compared to the auction house, and the auction house has no reason to give up the big and seek the small.

However, although the mastermind is not the auction house, the auction house must have known the details, and they did not intervene, indicating that the mastermind still has some weight. The auction house did not violate their rules by letting this matter go, after all, if Mendeleev himself did not 'mess' pay money, no one could 'force' him. Don't forget, 'Men' Deleev is a level 9 magician, who dares to 'force' him?

Harry thought for a moment and asked Gargamel, "Do you know why our products haven't been sold for the past 20 days?" The shampoo and shower gel couldn't be sold, and someone definitely intervened, so Harry didn't believe that those noble 'ladies' were willing to give up such a good thing. Some clues may be gleaned from this intervention.

"I've inquired about this matter, and it's said to have something to do with the castle lord. Gargamel replied, "He called on the nobles and merchants of Prondra not to buy our products for the time being, because we will soon reduce the price...... To be honest, I do have the idea of reducing the price, and if I can scrape together enough 400,000 gold coins, I'd rather get a little less of the commission! ”

"The city lord intervened? Harry analyzed: "There are two possibilities for this: first, the city lord is the one behind the seizure of our recipe technology, but there may be many doubts about this. Prontera is the capital of commerce, and the city lord is not allowed to engage in business as an official, and he does not dare to openly produce ** when he gets our formula technology. Moreover, once this matter is revealed, His Majesty the Emperor will not let him go in the first place, and the crime of disturbing Prontera's business is not small. ”

"Your Excellency, you are right, maybe the lord of the city only knew about this, so he decided that we would sell at a lower price in order to make up the debt of 400,000 gold coins, so I suggested that the noble merchants should not make a move for the time being. With Harry in charge, Gargamel's stress cleared and his mind became nimble.

"This is the second possibility! But I estimate that even if we reduce the price of sales, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make up the debt, since the other party has already launched, there must be a perfect plan, how can a price reduction interfere with their plan. Harry affirmed.

"So what are we going to do?" Gargamel looked at Harry expectantly.

Originally, 400,000 gold coins was not a difficult thing in Harry's eyes now. The mansion in the imperial capital is worth 1 million gold coins, and it will not be a problem to borrow 400,000 gold coins by taking it as collateral, and it will only take one day at most for the imperial capital and Prondra to come and go, with Nilander and the Grand Duke as guarantees, it must not take long to get the money, and there is no problem in time. As long as this crisis is resolved, and Mendeleev is restrained from 'messy' and 'spending' money, 400,000 yuan will be earned back in less than two months.

But it's not Harry's style to think he's unlucky when he's pitted, and he still had scruples before, after all, he was a wanted criminal and a green-robed thief. No matter what kind of identity you are, it will not be good for you to be exposed. Now that the emperor and the prime minister have no intention of pursuing their own identity, and they still have a faint intention to be a backstage for themselves, wouldn't it be a pity if they didn't grasp the situation well. The loss of hundreds of thousands of gold coins in vain is also distressing for individuals!

"Nothing!wait!" Harry said slowly, squinting his eyes.

"Wait?" Gargamel's eyes widened, "but in a few days, if we can't raise any more money, our recipes and techniques will belong to someone else!"

"Hmph!" Harry snorted, "then he has to have the ability to get his hands on it." Tomorrow I will go to the 'Gate' Deleev and find out the details by the way. I see you've been tired lately, don't worry, you can rest and rest these days. After this matter is resolved, there are still areas that need you to be busy. Harry calmed Gargamel.

Gargamel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Harry's confident appearance, and he collapsed on the 'bed' and fell asleep like this.

Early the next morning, Harry rushed to the laboratory of "Men" Teleev, facing the angry Harry, "Men" Teleev shrank in the chair like a child, and he knew that he had done something wrong, after all, the formula was Harry's creation, and only the raw material technology was his own invention, and he also used up the 600,000 gold coins belonging to Harry......

Harry couldn't blame 'Men' Deleev, he could only blame himself for not thinking it through at the beginning, and he asked 'Men' Deleev in detail about the specific situation.

"All the materials I bought are in that room, and although some of them have been used, most of them are still there, so if you want, take them all...... It should be able to make up for what you lost......" Although 'Men' Teleev said this, his eyes were full of reluctance.

"Who wants your broken material!" Harry was angry, and went into the back room to see a few random things, the value of which did not exceed 10,000 gold coins, and the total value was only about 100,000 yuan, and he actually let the 'door' Deleev move it back for 1.5 million.

"I ask you! Who made you sign that contract for the transfer of recipes and technology? Harry asked, staring at the 'door' Teleev.

"The auction house told me that I owed them 500,000 gold coins, but I didn't have enough gold coins to pay the bill, so they came up with a plan, saying that someone was willing to help me advance the money first, as long as it could be paid off within a month, he would not charge any interest. But I need to mortgage the recipe and technology, and if I don't pay it in a month, then the recipe and technology will be transferred to him. At that time, I thought that our products could sell for 300,000 a month, Gargamel also had more than 100,000 gold coins, and I still had about 100,000 gold coins in my hand. ”

"Is the contract there?" asked Harry, stretching out his hand.

"Yes, that's it. "Mendeleev took the contract.

Harry quickly glanced at it, there was nothing special about this contract, the terms and requirements were clearly written, and the point was that the contract stipulated: if Mendeleev did not pay off the arrears of 500,000 yuan "in full" within the agreed time, the formula and technology would be transferred to the borrower.

Since it was the auction house as the intermediary guarantor, the signature was also Prontera Auction House, and Harry still didn't know who was working on the idea. The point of this contract is to pay off the arrears in full, even if there is a difference of one gold coin, it is considered a breach of contract by 'Mendeleev', and it is still necessary to 'hand' over the formula. The opponent is really a good trick, and they seem to have expected that 'Mendeleev' will not be able to scrape together 500,000 gold coins within a month. After all, the financial constraints of the "door" Deleev were well known before, and now it is all about the ** shampoo and bath series to have some money, so as long as the ** channel of the shampoo and bath series is strangled, the "door" Teleev will be unable to do anything.

However, since the other party has missed himself, then they deserve that their ** plan will not succeed......

There are only 4 days left before the repayment date, but Harry does not feel nervous at all, and looks like he is ready, waiting for the creditor to come to the 'door' in the 'door' Teleev's laboratory.

Gargamel had the backbone and was not in a hurry, although he did not understand why Harry was so sure, after all, the contract signed by Mendeleev had the effect of imperial law, and it could not be denied.
