London, Leaky Cauldron Bar.

Ringo got out of a car and walked straight inside.

It's still the same.

A bunch of old wizards who behaved and dressed strangely gathered here, quiet and noisy, choking smoke mixed with the smell of alcohol and decay.

Ringo didn't plan to stay.

But just as he was about to cross the counter to the patio, he suddenly noticed a black-robed wizard sitting next to him, drinking alone.

He then turned around: "Professor? Why are you drinking here alone? ”

The black-robed wizard was Snape.

Wen Yan glanced at Ringo and snorted coldly: "Otherwise? Being bitten by those mosquitoes that smell blood at home? ”

Mosquito?

Ringo was stunned for a moment.

But soon realized what the old bat was talking about - he had recently been pestered by reporters and was going to be interviewed as soon as he went out.

But that's definitely not the reason.

As a master of potions, Snape had a hundred ways to deal with the reporters without breaking the law.

There's no need to be forced to stay home.

Right now......

Ringo's eyes fell on the bag on the side of the table, and through the opening, he could vaguely see the medicine bottle inside, and he suddenly understood: "I'm going to the pharmacy now, professor, do you want to be together?" ”

Snape holding his glass.

Staring at Ringo.

After a moment he drank it all: "What are you going to do there?" ”

"Talking about acquisitions, you know, I'm going to open a potions company."

"Yes, I know." The corners of Snape's mouth hooked up with a hint of mockery, "That's why those mosquitoes are targeting me, and that's why going to the pharmacy to sell medicine will be depressed." ”

"Then the professor can come with me." Ringo said confidently, "As a student, it is necessary to vent your anger to the professor. ”

"Oh? You're going to smash the drugstore? ”

"That's ...... illegal"

"Hehe, do you still know it's illegal?" Snape stood up, "Then I'll see how you help me out." ”

"Keep it ...... not to disappoint the professor"

It was a surprise to meet Snape, who was the top batch of potions masters, and the pharmacy dared to lower the price, which was also capable.

But......

This is understandable.

Who made Diagon Alley the only one drugstore, not even Diagon Alley, but all the pharmacies in the UK almost monopolized by the Bobin family......

With their minds in mind, Ringo and Snape stepped into Diagon Alley and headed straight for the drugstore.

By this time it was already night.

Pharmacy......

Still no one.

As soon as I entered, a pungent smell of rotten eggs and rotten cabbage leaves hit my face, which was why no wizard wanted to visit the pharmacy except for the time necessary.

But neither Ringo nor Snape were indifferent.

Ringo was even in the mood to look at the pharmacy, because some of the medicines were still seasonal, and coming back here was a little different from the last time: buckets of sticky things lay on the floor, jars of herbs, hay roots, and brightly colored powders lined the walls, and bundles of feathers, strings of fangs and claws hung from the ceiling.

In the midst of the many materials, sat Bobin, the owner of the pharmacy.

"What do you want...... Oh? Snape, you're here again, figured it out? Ready to sell at the price I said? Bobin looked at Snape with a smile.

Snape wore his trademark sneer.

But he did not answer.

This made the smile on Bobin's face more and more embarrassing, and finally turned to Ringo: "What about this ...... Oh, Mr. Shelby? I don't know Mr. Shelby came here to ......"

"Talk about cooperation." Ringo still looked at the pharmacy, "Does Mr. Bobin have any idea of transferring this store?" ”

"Nope." Bobin shook his head directly, "I've been thinking about this day since the day I saw Mr. Shelby's news, but I'm sorry, it's the family business. ”

"I'm not going to touch Bobin's pharmacy chain, I just want this drugstore." Ringo pinched a bottle and looked at it, "As long as this façade, all potions are not wanted, a thousand Galleons, how?" ”

"I'm sorry."

"Do you accept investment?"

"Not really."

Ringo glanced at Snape, and saw a hint of sarcasm flashing in the old bat's eyes, but he didn't care, but continued: "Then accept low-priced potions?" ”

"Accept." Then Bobin immediately changed his words, "I want as much as I want, Mr. Shelby, as long as the price is half off what you said." ”

"The price can be as low as 1.5% off, but I have the conditions."

"You say."

"All future leader potions, you are not allowed to increase the price, only allowed to sell them at a discount of two, with the trademark of 'Future Leader Potions Company' on them, and at the same time, Bobin wants to sell me potion materials at cost price, note that it is a long-term and stable supply of medicinal materials." Ringo finally said his purpose, "That is, I want to share the origin of the materials of the Bobin chain of pharmacies. ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"Impossible!" Bobin swiped to his feet, "Absolutely impossible." ”

"It's a win-win partnership." Ringo's eyes narrowed, "I'm sure you should be able to figure it out." ”

"But the Bobin family doesn't allow anyone else to interfere with the potion price." Bobin was even more desperate, "Before coming, Mr. Shelby should inquire clearly." ”

Of course, I inquired clearly.

The price of potions throughout the UK is set by the Bobin family - although international prices are also referenced, in general, the British potions are sold by them.

Ringo was not hopeful, but he came to test it.

Right now......

"Can't you be flexible?" Ringo's face was expressionless.

"I can't."

"That's a pity, I'd love to work with the Bobin family." Ringo put the medicine bottle down, "Boss Bobin won't give you a chance......"

"Where, it's clear that Mr. Shelby doesn't give him a chance, and how much money can be made by selling potions at two percent will only disrupt ......," Bobin didn't finish, "Of course, I'll always keep the door open here, waiting for you to come again." ”

Is that called coming again?

That's called a big sale after going bankrupt!

Bobin's words were clear, he did not approve of Ringo's cheap sale of potions to occupy the market, and like everyone else, he thought it would not last long.

So.

Seems like a good word.

But it's like a provocation.

This made the smile in the corner of Snape's eye, who had been watching from the sidelines, even more obvious - it was still quite interesting to watch his gifted student eat deflated.

However.

The smile on Ringo's face still didn't go down: "So, Boss Bobin is going to treat me as a competitor?" ”

Bobin spread his hands.

Didn't speak.

"Okay." Ringo turned to look at Snape, "Professor, would you like to sell me the potions you have?" I am willing to buy at the market price. ”

Snape closed his gaze and thought for a moment, "No problem. ”

"Then Professor, please ......" Ringo gestured, gesturing for Snape to walk across the board.

This scene.

The corner of Bobin's eye jumped.

And not only him.

Even Snape was stunned, wondering what Ringo was going to do, but Ringo had already walked to the door of the store and waved his wand at the store directly across from the Bobin Pharmacy.

The next moment.

A glowing sign reading "Future Leader Bifold Magic Drugstore" appeared in the darkness.

And under the signage.

There are also two fluorescent notes hanging down:

"Potions for sale at 2% off are on pre-order - no deposit required, sign and order."

"Acquire potions made by the Potions Master at the original price—always higher than the Bobin Pharmacy."

But this store was taken down by Ringo at some point, and it had already been made into the structure of a pharmacy, and at this time the door of the store had been opened, and Ringo walked over slowly.

Turn around again:

"Come on, Professor, you're my first guest."
