"Maybe there's a place where you can get what you need." Fenrir Grebock Road.

"Say, hiss."

"Three days later, there was a black market deal, and it was said that there would be a lot of good stuff there."

"Black market trading, who organizes it?" Voldemort sat up straight.

"It's the Dracula family who have plundered a lot of resources and skilled craftsmen these days, and it is said that Olympandre has fallen into their hands."

"Is it the Romanian guys who want to intervene too?" Voldemort's Way.

"It's not that simple, they have connections with those Muggle politicians, and in fact, they have quite a lot of influence over the economy of the Muggle world." Walton McNeill Dow.

"I see, I'll put an eye on them. I'll go to the black market, hiss. ”

After a high-profile move to Gringotts, our Mr. Borgin is once again in the dark phase. Of course, this low-key is relative.

Everyone was stunned when the wizards recovered from Gringotts' change of ownership and set foot on the Daia Palace Road again.

Although the wizarding world is full of miracles, the scene in front of them is still beyond the scope of their imagination.

Diagon Alley is gone!

Strictly speaking, it's not that Diagon Alley is gone, but that only the middle street is left in Diagon Alley, and the original large number of shops on both sides, a dazzling array of goods, and those enthusiastic shopkeepers have all disappeared into the huge black curtain.

It's a bit like a Christmas street, walking through the streets, there is darkness on both sides, and the dead silence and oppressive atmosphere overshadows a qiē. If it weren't for the Gringotts building, and the Wesley Brothers joke item shop at the end of the road, everyone would have thought they were in the wrong place.

"Look, there, up there!"

I don't know who shouted, everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky, and above the Gringotts, a huge six-pointed star-shaped light screen appeared at some point.

"The old era is over, the new era is coming, and we look forward to the opening of the Magic Hypermarket in the Grand Arcana."

Underneath this slogan is a countdown, which should be seven days later in the morning, according to the conversion of magical time.

Also disappearing into the darkness is the Borgin Burke store at the back of Diagon Alley, where a sign stands in front of the original location.

"The store has been incorporated into the Magic Hypermarket in Grand Alcana."

As a result, although Mr. Borgin disappeared temporarily, the mystery he left behind became the focus of almost everyone's discussion.

"What the hell are you doing, old Bojin? What about our shop? ”

Seeing that the shop she had bought with great difficulty also turned into darkness under a spell cast by Bogin, Mrs. Raz couldn't help but ask.

These days she was like a dream, and although the old man named Bo Jin pulled her into this game, she was still confused by Mr. Bo Jin's behavior, who claimed to be smart.

She used a rune given by Bo Jin to pass through the strange black veil, and the sight in front of her surprised her.

There was an empty space in front of me, and the original shops had disappeared without a trace, and at a glance, only the flat floor was seen.

"Madame Raz, you don't think we've gone to such great lengths to simply change the owner of the old shop, do you?" Mr. Borgin appeared in front of her with a grin.

"As you can see, I used the magic of the dark canopy to cover this area, and then used spatial magic to flatten all the original buildings to make it what it is now."

As he spoke, he took out a bag and handed it to Mrs. Raz, "I have collected all the valuable things in your shops, and they are all here." As for my plan, it is to turn the entire Diagon Alley into a giant magical arcade. ”

"Mrs. Raz, to be honest, I'm a little disappointed that you haven't managed the Wesley Brothers store so far, and it was originally in my plan that the whole Diagon Alley should be left with only our magic arcade except for the newspaper office and the bank.

"Well, that's because the Ministry of Magic got involved." Mrs. Raz said with some embarrassment.

"Oh, yes, then please report the situation to Miss Rita Skeeter of the Daily Prophet, the son of a Ministry of Magic official in business, but you can make some articles." Mr. Borgin still said with a smile on his face.

"But what are these, can these little things be able to build a house?" Mrs. Raz said, pointing to a little golden thing flying past her.

"Do you mean that? It is a probe. "Don't underestimate these little things, they're great otherworldly creatures. ”

I saw a dozen probes shuttling back and forth quickly, constantly squeaking, and engraved a soft blue light on the flat ground like an engraving, and after a few hours, the entire ground was covered with this thin blue light.

"Alright, let's not bother these little things with work, after all, we still have a lot of things to do ourselves." Mr. Borgin said.

"Do what?" Mrs. Raz was puzzled.

"The supply." Mr. Borgin sighed and said, "What we are going to open is the largest retail store of magic items in the whole of England, perhaps the whole world, so where do the goods in our store come from?" ”

He clapped his hands, and from the darkness came the sound of triumph, a tall old man, on crutches, his face covered with scars, his nose cut off, and his left eye like a coin, large and round, still blue, constantly turning.

"Merlin is on top, Mr. Alasto-Modi, why is he here?" Mrs. Raz was taken aback.

"Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Modi, the security manager and director of the legal department of the Magic Alcana hypermarket." Mr. Borgin bowed slightly.

"He moved to the neighborhood of my hometown after retiring from Hogwarts last year, and I happen to have some friendship with him."

"Hmph, I should say that I have dealt with a lot of dealings, but you hid your tail very well and didn't let me catch it." Modi said.

Mr. Bokin said with an unchanging face, "He also wants to know what the hell I'm doing, so I hired him to take charge of the security of our new store, you have no opinion." ”

"Well, if it's Mr. Modi working for us, of course I'd welcome that." Mrs. Raz said.

"Very well, you and I have full confidence in Mr. Modi's professionalism." Mr. Borgin rubbed his hands.

He took a stack of papers from Mr. Modi's hand, handed it to Mrs. Raz and said, "I've set out to do some work, but it's not enough, so I need your help." ”

"You're amazing to me, Bogin." Flipping through the purchase agreements in her hand, Mrs. Raz said.

"Actually, this kind of sales is already very common in the Muggle world, and I think that's exactly what we need to improve the situation right now." Mr. Borgin explained.

"The original business model, each store is operated first-class, each through its own raw materials to purchase, the quantity is small, the purchase price is high. The level of personnel management is uneven, the capital conditions are limited, the ability to resist risks is low, the commodity variety is single, and the choice is small. In the Muggle world, this situation also existed for quite some time, but decades ago, the Fourier and DeVre families came up with a solution to this problem. That's the hypermarket, or the retail style of the big city. ”

Mr. Borgin waved his cane, and a few lines of text appeared in the air:

"Mass---------- for wizarding customers of all levels at the same time."

"Integrated --------- sells a wide range of products, come to the hypermarket and buy everything."

"Flexibility--------- the freedom to adjust the sales size of each item according to different requirements."

"Combination--------- reasonable combination of cargo structure, will not affect the overall operation due to a class of goods."

"Low cost---------- large purchase volume, low material and logistics costs, and strong bargaining power."

"High traffic---------- the daily flow of goods and payments is far greater than that of ordinary stores."

He explained them one by one, and looked at Mrs. Raz with a grin.

"Cunning old Bokin, you still have a lot to say." Lady Raz said: "For example, money and credit, you are now the boss of Gringotts, and there are so many goblins under your command, in terms of money turnover, I am afraid that no one in the entire British wizarding world can have an advantage over you." And these rules, which all sound very good. But I want to ask, what am I going to do? ”

"Responsible for purchasing and receiving." Mr. Borgin spoke his intentions.

"During this time, you have bought so many shops, and the money you have spent is even less than mine. And you are experienced, you know the quality of materials and goods well, who is more suitable to do this procurement work than you? ”

"Okay, old Bojin, you were scheming on me from the beginning." Madame Raz suddenly realized.

"You have a lot of shares in this store." Borgin said only one word, and Mrs. Raz turned her anger to joy.

"Okay, my wife is reluctant to make it difficult, so I'll take this job." Mrs. Raz nodded, "But there are still two issues that have not been resolved. ”

She said, looking at Bogin.
