Chapter IV Large-scale Procurement
"Sir, are you sure you want to order all the books that are in circulation now, no matter how many?" A week later, the clerk of the Blotted Bookstore looked at the handsome baby-faced young man in front of him with the eyes of a nervous disorder. So many books, enough to open a large library!
"Yes, as long as it is a book that is not expressly forbidden by the Ministry of Magic, as long as it is a book that is in circulation on the market, whether it is a novel, a magazine, or a textbook, a teaching aid, no matter what the content is, as long as it is a book that has been practiced in modern times, even if there are many reprints, find me the same, of course, the price is easy to say!"
Ning Yuan has always believed that knowledge is priceless, and in such a hp world that is definitely a high-magic world in terms of the popularity of magic, as long as you have money, you can buy magic books, and if you don't use them under such good conditions, Ning Yuan won't be so stupid.
Therefore, the first thing to do after strengthening the wizard bloodline is to buy all the books that you can collect. Even if it's not about magic, it can at least give him a more comprehensive understanding of this magical world that doesn't know how long he will stay, rather than the seemingly unreliable descriptions in one-sided superstitious novels.
"By the way, it would be better if I could collect all the collections of all the newspapers in the wizarding world since the inception of the Daily Prophet, rest assured, I have enough money to pay you, and I am not here to joke with you." Ning Yuan looked at the clerk and explained.
The clerk looked at Ning Yuan's expression carefully and made sure that it was not a bad joke, so he said respectfully, "Sir, I can't call the shots in this matter, I need to contact the shopkeeper, please wait." With that, he led Ning Yuan to a reception room, and with a wave of his wand he got a cup of hot tea from somewhere, before leaving the room and contacting the shopkeeper he was talking about.
Perhaps in the face of the big customers, the shopkeeper attaches great importance to it, and in just over ten minutes, a shrewd short and fat man walked into the reception room with a smile on his face, "Hello, young stranger, the owner of the contemptible Ritted Bookstore, Cromwell Avery!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan shook hands with the fat boss who looked like a fox in a friendly way, "Hello, Yuan Ning, you can call me Ning or Yuan." ”
"That's right, I heard my clerk say, Mr. Ning, you plan to search for all the paper publications in modern times, although I really want to do this big business, but I have to remind you that your identity is collecting all the paper information in the wizarding world with great fanfare, which may lead to some bad snooping."
"Personally, I don't believe you have any bad behavior towards the British Ministry of Magic, but you should have immigrated to the UK seven days ago, which really challenges the bottom line of the Ministry of Magic, even if the British Ministry of Magic is not known internationally for its perfect efficiency." Cromwell narrowed his blue eyes and looked meaningfully at Ning Yuan's Asian face.
Ning Yuan didn't think it was strange that Cromwell was able to get some of his information in less than ten minutes, it was true that a person who had just emigrated collected information about the wizarding world like this, even if these things were public, but in the eyes of others, it still looked very suspicious, especially when the relationship between the wizarding governments of various countries was not really unbreakable.
"But I suppose in the eyes of your family, Mr. Avery, shouldn't that be a problem, right?"
In the early thirties of the twentieth century, the Catalogue of Purebloods was published anonymously in England, an unnamed "authority source" listing 28 "true pure-blood families" with the aim of "helping these families to maintain the purity of their bloodline". This is a passage from Jk Rowling's peripheral setting, Ning Yuan, who once wrote hp fanfiction, remembers very well, and after this is the twenty-eight pure-blood surnames in the setting listed by Jk Rowling. Avery is one of them.
After coming to this real world, after knowing the name of the owner of the Blotted Bookstore, Ning Yuan, who felt familiar, finally determined that Jk Rowling's spoilers worked in this real world after many inquiries......
"Of course, I don't think the Avery family is unknown in the wizarding world, but Mr. Ning, I don't know if it's worth taking too many unnecessary risks for a stranger, maybe you don't know, the pure-blood family in Britain is actually not as prominent as it is rumored, whether it is Dumbledore, who is close to Muggles, or our Mr. Minister, they are very wary of pure-blood families." Cromwell shook his head, not immediately relenting, but the meaning of the other party's words was obvious, and it was obviously worthy of the copper-smelling Avery in Tom's mouth.
Ning Yuan took a sip of tea elegantly, and then said unhurriedly: "I know what Mr. Avery means, in business, in addition to the money needed for procurement, I will pay 50,000 gold galleons worth of pure gold as labor costs. ”
In the past three days, in addition to inquiring about some information, Ning Yuan also learned about the price of the magic world, this 50,000 gold gallons is a lot of money even for the pure-blood family, as Avery said, the power of the pure-blood family is indeed not as good as before.
"I'll admit it, the price you offered makes me tempted, but I'm afraid it will take a while for the things you need to be gathered, and Mr. Ning must pay the [deposit] before that." Avery apparently couldn't refuse such a large sum of money, and didn't ask why the transaction was made in gold instead of Galleons, who didn't have a secret these days.
For the Avery family, who have been in business for generations, Jin Gallon can buy anything in the world, and this matter is not as strict as he said, after all, what Ning Yuan asked for was something that was not explicitly forbidden by the Ministry of Magic, and he only said this for the sake of Ning Yuan's new immigrants, the background of being alone, in order to get more benefits.
"That's it, let's just say it, I'll send a deposit of 50,000 yuan before tomorrow." Ning Yuan nodded knowingly, "Also, if I can, I hope Mr. Avery will help me find a house in Hogsmeade Village, and the price is equally easy to say." ”
"Well, Hogsmeade doesn't have property in the name of the Avery family, but I can put you in touch with a buyer, but it's not a good place to settle, and if you're looking for a house, our Avery family actually has a estate in Godric's Hollow." Avery introduced to Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan shook his head, "I think Hogsmeade Village is very good, it's so close to Hogwarts, and I ...... Dumbledore" said as if he remembered something, and didn't continue.
But apparently, Avery noticed the name Dumbledore, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but as if he hadn't heard the name, he looked very natural.
Seeing the other party's expression at that moment, Ning Yuan secretly laughed in his heart, he was indeed ready to have a relationship with Dumbledore in the future, but now Dumbledore probably didn't know that he was such a person, but this didn't prevent him from pulling the tiger skin to make a big banner, didn't it.
Although with the reputation of the other party's business family for many years, there will not be anything bad, but on the premise that there may be many transactions in the future, it is not bad for them to have a little concern, and the great wizard recognized by the world, Dumbledore is obviously enough.
"Since Mr. Ning has decided, then I will try my best to contact the other party, and I will give a definite answer before tomorrow afternoon." Cromwell took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in a rather kind tone.
Actually, if possible, he still wants to get a house-elf, but considering that it is enough to be eye-catching now, he slowed down, but now that he has a good relationship with the Avery family in this transaction, it will be much more convenient to get anything in the future, after all, Avery is not only a local snake, but also started in business, and his connections are not comparable to him alone.
After having lunch with Avery at a high-end restaurant in Diagon Lane, Ning Yuan slowly returned to the bar, preparing for the gold he needed to pay tomorrow.
