Tang Bai looked at the tall middle-aged man in front of him with a slightly haggard face with a scrutinizing gaze. The man looked a little restless under Tang Bai's gaze.

"Mr. Mellen-Watts?" Tang Bai first broke the atmosphere of silence.

"Hello Mr. Bai-Tang." As soon as the silent atmosphere was broken, Melun's still somewhat apprehensive expression suddenly relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he recited Tang Bai's name with some difficulty.

"Just call me Don." Tang Bai waved his hand. Listening to the other party's strange pronunciation of his name upside down, he always had an indescribable sense of strangeness in his heart.

"I heard you're interested in selling your entire potions business?" Tang Bai took a sip of the black coffee that Melen handed over, and never touched it again. The two of them are now in Merlen's herb shop in Diagon Alley. The full name of the other party's shop is [Mellen Watts Potion Shop], which is as unnew as Ollivander Wand Shop and Madame Morkin's Robe Shop.

Adult wizards in the wizarding world seem to have all kinds of quirks to a greater or lesser extent, either they are not good at dealing with people, or they are sloppy and unkempt. Although the man in front of him was a little nervous and unsociable, he was obviously not at home in disguise. The other party's face and expression are very well done, but there is a shrewdness in the depths of his eyes.

"Yes, yes." Mellen nodded repeatedly.

"Then you should know my intentions, I don't know how many gold gallons are needed to take over your entire estate?" Tang Bai can't be said to be ignorant of business negotiation skills, but he is definitely not proficient, so he asked straight to the point at the beginning. What's more, he has limited time, and he also wants to cut through the mess quickly, at least before he leaves this time, he can agree with Mellenwaltz.

"Three million gold Galleons." Tang Bai asked refreshingly, Melun answered very crisply, and stretched out three pale fingers to dangle in front of Tang Bai's eyes. At this moment, he was like a different person, and the cowardice at the beginning was swept away.

Tang Bai was silent. It's not that the price scared him, but he calculated the gains and losses in his heart. Regarding the economic system of the Harry Potter world, especially the wizarding world, Tang Bai is almost blind. But the bits and pieces of information revealed from the book can still make Tang Bai initially establish a yardstick in his heart.

Harry Potter won the Final Four Tournament and was rewarded with a thousand gold Galleons, which were given by Harry Potter to the twin Weasley brothers as part of their starting capital to open a magic trick shop in Diagon Alley.

A thousand gold galleons doesn't seem like much, but if you convert it to pounds sterling and RMB, that's 50,000 pounds and more than 500,000 RMB!

Mellen Watts asked for three million gold galleons, that's fifteen million pounds, more than 150 million RMB!

Tang Bai Gringotts' account has more than 10 million gold galleons lying in it, and the price of 3 million gold galleons is up from him. But the only thing that constrained him was that he didn't know much about the economics of the wizarding world and didn't know how much moisture Mellen Watts had in offer.

Fortunately, Tang Bai wanted the goblins of Gringotts to ask some questions about the purchasing power of the Golden Galleons and the value of the various shops in Diagon Alley, but he could also deduce the true industrial value of Mellen-Watts. To put it bluntly, Tang Bai didn't care about losing some price, and gave Mellen Watts some benefits, so that he could buy the medicinal herb shops and industries in the other party's hands in a short period of time, but this water must not be too large.

"The price is a bit high, you know, the entire wizarding world is now in a turbulent dark period." After calculating in his heart, Tang Bai raised his head and shook his head at Melen Watts, who was looking at him expectantly.

"It's because it's a damn dark time that I'm selling at this price. Even a few years ago, I would not have been able to sell at such a low price. You know, my industry is not only a store in a prime location such as Diagon Alley, but also a variety of contacts and channels! ”

Mellen Watts looked a little frustrated, he waved his hand, stood up from his seat suddenly, and continued with a bit of anger: "Maybe the scale of my industry is not worth mentioning compared to the industries under the command of some pure-blood noble families, but in the medicinal herb industry, the scale of Mellen Watts Medicinal Herb Shop is definitely second only to their existence!" This is my family's ancestral property! ”

"But that doesn't match the price the goblins recommended me." Tang Bai spread his hand helplessly.

"Hell fairies! They're all misers! Mellen Watts roared angrily, her tall body seemed to lose the strength to support it for a while, and she collapsed on the soft chair, looking at Tang Bai with a somewhat dull gaze: "Two million gold Galleons, this price can't be less." Otherwise, I'd rather these properties rot in my hands. ”

"Okay. That's the price you said. Tang Bai nodded.

Mellen Watts jerked her head up when she heard this, and her eyes regained some light.

"But I have a couple of strings attached." Tang Bai smiled.

"On what terms?" Mellen Watts asked urgently.

"The transaction must be completed in the near future, as short as possible, no later than two days!" Tang Bai said and looked at Mellen Watts with an inquiring gaze.

Seeing Tang Bai's gaze sweeping, Mellen Watts nodded hurriedly, it was not that he hadn't thought about selling these industries in recent years, so the materials and other materials had already been prepared.

"Second, for some reason, I can't stay here for long, so when I don't find the right manager, you have to stay and be in charge of these properties for the time being." When Tang Bai said this, he was also a little helpless in his heart. He is alone in this world, and there are no available manpower at all except himself.

"This ......," Mellen Watts groaned suddenly, grimacing. Looking at his somewhat hesitant and evasive look, Tang Bai suddenly realized that things didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined.

"Is there anything embarrassing about Mr. Mellen?" Tang Bai leaned forward.

"In the wizarding world now, it's a little too dangerous to show up." Mellen Watts looked a little embarrassed.

"That's not the reason, I feel like there's something important Mr. Mellen hasn't told me about it, and it's related to our deal." Tang Bai said thoughtfully.

"You're too careful." Mellen Watts chuckled.

Looking at Melen Watts, whose eyes were slightly evasive, Tang Bai shook his head and said, "I believe my feelings, since Mr. Mellen Watts doesn't want to say it, then the transaction between us will be stopped, and I will negotiate with another medicinal herb merchant." ”

"No, no, no! I can tell! Seeing that Tang Bai really stood up, Mellen Watts waved his hands in a panic.

"I'll just sit here and listen." Tang Bai was originally posturing, of course, if Mellen Watts didn't stay, he wouldn't mind taking advantage of the situation. Now that his purpose had been accomplished, he sat down again and reached out to Mellen-Watts and made a gesture of please.

"Anyway, the deal between us will still take place, right?" Mellen Watts had irritability and uneasiness on his face, a pair of pale palms rubbing helplessly, and his words were a little pleading, looking at Tang Bai, as if he wanted to get a definite answer from his mouth.

"Of course. As long as my interests are not completely violated, the transaction between us is still valid. I'd love to make this deal with you. Tang Bai's tone was very tactful, and he didn't promise to take it all over, but left himself a way out.

"It's Mulseber, he also has a fancy for my property, but the price he gave is too low, I can't accept it!" Mellen Watts looked indignant and distressed.

Tang Bai recalled the name in his mind, and it seemed to be somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember the exactly. Tang Bai thought for a while, and didn't get an answer in his memory, and then asked directly: "Mulseber? Who is he? ”

"He's a goddamn Death Eater."

As soon as Mellen Watts spoke, Tang Bai's mind immediately recalled the name as if it had pierced the fog. Mooresabeth, a classmate of Snape-Severus. A trick with no sense of existence.

Mellen Watts seemed to be a little broken, and regarded Tang Bai as an object to talk to: "Some of those people, with the power and power of that person, are crazy to reap benefits for themselves and their families, if I don't still have a little energy and connections in my hands, my industry may have been carved up by them a long time ago!" How many shops and industries have been taken by them by various means, I don't know how long this turbulent story will last, he has been pressing more and more tightly recently, and I can't hold it anymore. ”;
