PS: The second update is sent, "Travelers in the Marvel World" looks forward to everyone's subscription, rewards, monthly passes and other support!
Leaving the enthusiastic Ollivanders wand shop, Liu Ruian, who casually threw the dragon horn staff into the space bag, came directly to the bookstore in Diagon Alley.
With a large amount of gold gallons thrown out, all the books sold in the entire bookstore were purchased by Liu Rui'an.
The same sweeping behavior is also happening in other magic book stores and magic item stores.
In less than half a day, the news that there was a gray and rich person in Diagon Alley, and his strength was also gray and strong, quickly spread.
After purchasing all the items that were valuable to him, Liu Ruian did not stop long, but left Diagon Alley directly and returned to the bar.
"Mr. Ren, please be careful." After bringing a glass of Sydney to the table, Tom, the owner of the bar, whispered.
"Thank you, Tom, I will." Liu Ruian, who knew very well what the other party was talking about, replied with a smile.
In fact, during the previous frenzied shopping, Liu Ruian soon discovered that unknown characters began to appear behind him.
If it weren't for the large number of people in Diagon Alley, and the old shops I went to for a long time, I'm afraid something bad would have happened.
Liu Ruian is not surprised by this, on the contrary, he is happy to see it.
No, after drinking the Sydney wine in front of him, Liu Ruian pushed open the door of the bar and flashed people.
After Liu Ruian returned to the garden villa he had just bought, that night, several black shadows easily entered the villa without the slightest defense.
As a result, after the first wave of shadows entered. It didn't cause any movement before it lost its traces.
After some time, a second wave of dark shadows also entered the villa under the cover of night.
And then it doesn't work for eggs!
After three waves of dark shadows were "swallowed" by the villa. Finally settled down.
When the sun rises in the east and the first rays of sunlight shine on the garden in front of the villa. The door that had been closed for a long time finally opened.
"At this time in London, the air quality is not bad." Liu Rui'an, who walked to the garden and stretched his waist, smelled the fragrance of soil and grass in the air, and said to himself with a smile.
After moving his body for a while, Liu Ruian, who returned to the kitchen of the villa, began to prepare breakfast for himself.
"Oh, I seem to have forgotten the most important thing, house-elves."
Liu Ruian, who quickly prepared breakfast for himself, suddenly found that he had forgotten something.
Don't look at the original plot, Dobby betrayed his master Lucius. Malfoy. But I have to admit that this creature is really a must-have in the home.
What's more, a house-elf like Dobby with an "avant-garde" mindset seems to appear in the entire Harry Potter plot.
With this idea in mind, Liu Ruian, who had finished enjoying breakfast, quickly returned to Diagon Alley through the guò bar.
It didn't take too much time, and Liu Rui'an, who was a big gold gallon, found himself two house-elves of absolutely high quality.
Generally speaking, the magic of the house-elf club is mostly life magic, such as cleaning, cooking, repairing, and so on.
But in fact, the magic of the house-elves is much more than that, and more house-elves are needed by various families, not because of their life skills but because of their supernormal magic.
Even some house-elves may have magic far beyond their owners, of course. This does not apply to Liu Rui'an.
Even if the two elves he bought at a high price had magical powers that many wizards envied, he still didn't have to worry about endangering his own safety.
In addition to buying house-elves, Liu Ruian has another important mission to come to Diagon Alley this time.
That is, buy a shop and become your own boss.
That's right. It's your own boss. Not for the glittering Golden Galleons, though.
As long as Gringotts does not cancel the business of exchanging British pounds for huàn gold gallons for a day, Liu Ruian will not be short of money for a day.
As for why he opened a store even though he was not short of money. The reason is simple.
During the two-day procurement process, Liu Ruian discovered that the glittering gold gallon was not a panacea.
For example, scarce magic materials. There are magic books that are hard to see on the market, and there are magic items that are treasures of town shops or town houses, and so on.
Want to get these things. There are only two paths to take.
The first is to grab it directly, this road is not impossible to take, but for Liu Ruian, who plans to enter Hawkwarts, the gains outweigh the losses.
As for the other way, you just need to exchange a magic item of high enough value for it, or you can also trade it with some conditions that the owner can't refuse.
It's like the saying that has been circulating in human society for a long time, money is not everything, but without money it is absolutely impossible!
Even in Diagon Alley, a well-known commercial street in the wizarding world, it is not easy to find an empty store, but it is not too difficult to find a store that wants to sell or find investors because of bad business.
With a large sum of gold galleons as a fee, Gringotts quickly got the deal done.
Under the enthusiastic guidance of the goblin who had received him, Ryan soon arrived in front of a potion shop called Mellenwaltz.
"This is Mellen. Mr. Watts, owner of Mellen Watts' potion shop. ”
"This is Imodaried. Mr. Ren, a powerful wandering wizard. ”
Under the enthusiastic introduction of the goblin, the two sides quickly had a basic understanding.
One wanted to buy, the other wanted to sell, and with Gringotts' guarantee, the deal didn't take much time to finalize.
Liu Rui'an, who didn't ask the other party why he wanted to sell the store, almost didn't make a counteroffer, so he took out five million gold galleons and bought this potion shop.
Doesn't it mean that Liu Ruian has two money to burn, and he is willing to be the big boss of this injustice.
The price of five million is not high, it is indeed very high.
After all, the value of gold galleons in the wizarding world is still very strong, and after Harry Potter won the championship of the Final Four Tournament, the final reward was only 1,000 gold galleons.
This money was given by Harry Potter to the twin Weasley brothers, as part of their starting funds.
As a result, this pair of living treasures directly opened a magic trick shop in Diagon Alley.
Although there should be help from the Weasley family, how much spare money can the Weasleys, a well-known poor wizard family, have to help their two sons with their careers.
This also means that the five million gold galleons that Liu Ruian took out are enough to open 5,000 new stores, even if there are not so many, thousands are not a problem.
Fortunately, such a large sum of money, in addition to the Mellen Watts Potion Shop, also includes all the finished potions and materials for making potions in the store.
That's not all, the price also includes a lot of contacts and channels.
Compared to the value of this potion shop itself, Liu Ruian really values the last two aspects.
However, in order to ensure that what he sees is not empty white teeth and mirrors, Liu Ruian also added the condition that the other party needs to work in his own store for one year in the content of the transaction.
To say that this condition is not excessive, five million gold galleons, in pounds is twenty-five million for me.
This is almost more than the sum of the generations of some small and medium-sized families combined, not to mention that Liu Ruian has also offered a good enough salary and a certain amount of autonomy.
For wizards, a year is nothing at all. What's more, there is such a good treatment, according to Mellen. Watts probably won't refuse.
didn't think about it, and the other party hesitated in the face of this condition.
Under Liu Rui'an's questioning on the grounds of the cancellation of the transaction, he finally understood why the other party would sell the shop in the prime area when it was still in peace.
It turned out that there was a large family who fell in love with this potion shop, and wanted to get it but refused to give enough money.
On the surface, although he didn't do anything to violate the laws of the wizarding world, he did a lot of tricks in private.
Unbearable Mellen. Watts then decided to sell the store at a high price, which is quite a bit like I can't afford to provoke and hide.
The answer to this question is very simple.
Mellen. Watts still stayed in the shop to work for a year, and the affairs of the wizarding family were handled by Ryan Liu.
And, once met Mellen. Watts' safety is threatened, so he has permission to leave on his own instead of having to stay in the store.
With such a promise, coupled with Gringotts' guarantee, it didn't take too long for the potion shop to officially change owners. (To be continued......)
