Conquering the Heavens: Beginning at Hogwarts

Chapter 46 Business Planning, Visiting (Revised)
Borrowing from the Ministry of Magic, Pender used Floo powder to come to the coast near Augustus Island, and then flew back to the island with a broomstick.

Say something.

The dust along the way made Pendor suffer a lot.

When he returned to the island, his face looked darkened.

"Welcome home, young master." Old Anli was the first to appear, next to Lanli who was holding a water basin. It seemed that they had been prepared long ago.

"Thank you." Pan De took the towel and wiped his face. After removing the dust, he finally felt much more comfortable.

"How are the herbs in the manor now?"

Pan De asked old Anli while walking towards the medicine field.

"Surprisingly good, young master." Old Anli always had a smile on his face when he said this, "Thanks to you, the herbs in the manor grow amazingly."

Pan De waved his hand and came to the medicine field to have a look. Apart from the huge holly he ordered to plant, there were also many herbs that old Anli had found from other places.

Common ones include ginseng, licorice, Houttuynia cordata, rehmannia glutinosa, Poria cocos, etc.; rare ones include red, yellow, and black ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, etc.

"En." Pan De looked at the medicine field. The giant holly is really big. The ordinary holly is very small, even smaller than a blueberry, but the giant holly, which is a magic plant, is about the size of a chestnut.

As for the other herbs, they were also a little bigger than the ones Pan De saw at school.

"What method did you use? Why are these herbs growing so amazingly?" Pan De was surprised. This was even more amazing than what the old Anli said in his letter. If the old Anli hadn't lied, there would be ten tons in the warehouse of the old house now. of the best herbs.

"It's thanks to you."

"Don't talk about these useless things, tell the truth."

Old Anli hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's Pete and Lanli. They are proficient in the technique of planting herbs, and they are born with the innate magic to ripen herbs. They can be ripened all the time as long as they have enough rest."

"Yeah." Pender nodded, and it made sense now, "What about Pete, where is he now?"

"Ah, please forgive me, young master!" Old Anli suddenly prostrated himself on the ground, looking very flustered.

"what happened?"

"Peter, Pete is sleeping, he didn't come to pick up the young master, it's a big sin."

Pan De looked at Old Anli, he had never seen other house-elves, but the Augustus family seemed to be very special.

"Get up, this pleading is a good one, don't play with it in the future, young master, I won't punish you for no reason, now the herbal medicine is cultivated so well, it should be rewarded."

Seeing that his little thoughts had been seen through, Lao Anli was so nervous that his body tensed up. He was ready to be beaten for his son.

But Pan De didn't care about these things at all. Anyway, with the imprints of the house, he could know their positions and thoughts anytime, anywhere, and control their life and death. There was no need to care about these small things.

"Get up, Pete is tired of casting spells and resting is fine, take me to the warehouse to have a look, this is related to my plan, young master."

Old Anli was very happy that he didn't have to be beaten. Which house elf wouldn't be happy?Oh, and the other house-elves might not be happy.

"Yes, please come with me, master."

Old Anli brought Pan De to the warehouse.

As soon as the door was opened, the smell of medicine came to the face.

All the herbal medicines in the warehouse are stored separately, and they are very well preserved, and the treatment is just right. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with Pan Dekuai's second-level alchemy skills.

"Fine, this is great!"

Pan De said happily: "With these, we will soon be able to earn enough funds. Let alone repairing the old houses and islands, it is not impossible to expand!"

"Anli, get me a sample of each herbal medicine, I want to take it away, today, or the day after tomorrow, I'm going out the day after tomorrow, help me get these ready, young master, I'm going to start a plan!"

"Young master, your request will be fulfilled."

Pendor came to the Black Tower.

Although the herbs and potions here can no longer be used, the ore is okay, and there are so many books, so we can't waste them.

The energy of the black tower is exhausted, if it is not replenished, it will not be able to show its original strength at all.

Pan De looked at the manual again, and came to the core part of the Black Tower.

An empty inner room with a magic circle and spells covering the entire room.

Pan De could understand those incantations, and the magic circle could also understand it. It was a control formation.

As long as you master this formation, you can easily control the black tower.

just
Just because you can understand it doesn't mean you can do it.

Pendor's Charmology is not enough to support him to make changes to this formation.

"Forget it, you can't become fat if you eat it in one bite, let's leave this thing for now, the ancient great magister is really dangerous"

Pan De muttered, took all the ore and books that could be taken away from the black tower, then sealed the black tower again, and returned to his room.

After returning to the room, Pendor began to write letters to Hermione, and attached the types and pictures of herbs.

"The herbs in the manor are consistent with what old Anli said. Our business plan may be carried out. I will write to Mr. Malfoy and them now, and I will visit them one by one the day after tomorrow or next week."

Pendor's letters to Hermione were casual, almost like a face-to-face chat.

After writing, it will be sent by owl.

Then Pendor began to write letters to Malfoy and others, or two letters.

One is a business visit letter, and the other is a visit letter to classmates and friends.

"Mr. Malfoy (Black, Weasley):"

"I'm."

"I have rich resources and capabilities in herbal and potion methods, and I want to have business discussions with you and seek cooperation."

"My friend, dear Draco (Harry, Ron, Neville):"

"Hope you all had a great holiday."

After the letter was written, Pan De began to think about business cooperation.

When he was in Vaatlan, he had a business experience.

At that time, because I had no money, I did some reselling business while traveling.

To be honest, Vayatlan's economic status is too primitive, perhaps because of magic, people can use magic directly for whatever they want, so not many people study business.

The most are those traveling merchants, who will sell some special products that are not available in other regions, so as to earn some price difference.

but this world
As the same body of the earth, its development can be said to be very similar.

The London that Pan De has seen now is already very prosperous, with various business operations emerging one after another, and Pan De's mind that doesn't know how to play tricks can't control these at all.

But if it's just for negotiation, Pender will still be able to do some.

After preparing these, Pan De started to do his own winter vacation homework.

Potions, Snape asked him to learn three antidotes and an additional invisibility potion that he needed to master in the next semester within two months.

Charmology requires a thorough memorization of known runes, as well as hieroglyphs and Chinese oracle bone inscriptions.

According to Flitwick, hieroglyphs and oracle bones possess powerful magical powers that must be mastered.

Herbalism is to memorize all the second-level herbal medicines, and you need to write silently at the beginning of the next semester.

There are also Transfiguration, Protection of Magical Creatures, Astronomy, Divination, Arithmetic and Divination, etc., and even if McGonagall did not stop him, during this short two-month winter vacation, Pande would have to learn Alchemy assigned by Dumbledore
Pendor began to study, and time passed quietly.
Malfoy Manor.

Mrs. Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy is angry.

"That's unreasonable! He sent my son, my only son, to the Forbidden Forest! He was also attacked by a suspected Death Eater, and almost got a death curse! I'm going to find him, how could he do this!"

"Shut up." Lucius was very calm. He could see that Narcissa didn't know that she hated Dumbledore, but was just afraid.

"This is a good training. At least we know that Draco is not a waste pureblood who can only brush sticks. He has the potential to become an excellent wizard."

Lucius leaned over, hugged his wife gently, and said in a low voice: "And this is what he has to go through, since we agreed to that plan and sent him... you know."

Narcissa looked at her husband and finally chose to accept, but she was still very scared.

"Biepa, it's okay." Lucius stared at Narcissa, and the two got closer
"Dad? Mom? What are you doing?" Draco came over and interrupted the two who were about to kiss together.

"Hmm, you should knock on the door first, Draco. A gentleman must be polite." Lucius turned his head in embarrassment, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Draco held up two letters and a package in his hand, "Pender has a letter, one is for you, and there is a package."

"For me?"

Lucius was a little surprised, took the letter and read it.

Draco said: "He rescued me in the Forbidden Forest, and he performed very well. At one point, I thought that if I wasn't there, maybe he would have confronted the Death Eaters head-on. Oh, yes, he still has to do it with our family." Business, his potion success rate is very high! I've seen it, almost [-]%."

"Well, that's true." Lucius handed the letter to Narcissa, and opened the package.

Inside are the herbal medicine samples sent by Pan De, and the primary potion set that Pan De made himself.Including primary recovery potion*2, primary energy recovery potion*2, three antidote potions*2, and petrochemical skin potion*1.

"His herbal medicines are of very high quality, and the quality of his potions is also very good. As expected of Dumbledore's nephew, I think cooperation is feasible. To invite him to come to our place tomorrow, Draco, the relationship between you and Pendor is very important." Well, this kid has great potential."

"Well, I understand." Draco nodded, whether it was out of family interests or personally, he felt that Pendor was a friend he could associate with.

Lucius sat down on a chair, picked up a pen and began to write a reply.

The same thing happened with the Weasleys and the Blacks.

Arthur and Sirius also invited Pender at the same time.

Since the Potter couple has been in a coma and Harry is young, the Potter family's property is managed by Sirius.

Not to mention, Sirius is very powerful. With the help of his family's business and the help of Lucius and Arthur, he successfully built the Potter family into one of the three business giants in the British wizarding world, even more powerful than the Black family.

That night.

Pan De looked at the three reply letters in his hand, and one of them was ecstatic.

He hurriedly wrote back to the three parties to confirm the time of the visit, then prepared gifts, and finally wrote to Hermione, explaining the recent situation.

Early the next morning.

Pender got up early, dressed up, and came to Malfoy Manor with gifts.

Compared to the Augustus family's splendor of having an island, the Malfoy family's fortress was a little worse, but the Pender family was poor and had no decorations and treasures, but this Malfoy manor was much more grand than his.

"Pender!" Draco waved his hand and came out of the manor to greet Pendor.

Pender responded with a smile, "How have you been recently?"

"Don't mention it," Draco's face collapsed in an instant, "My dad said that my performance in the Forbidden Forest was too poor. Recently, I have been training my combat response ability and magic spells. I am suffering."

"That's for your own good too, let's go, I have to meet Uncle Lucius first."

"No!" Draco said suddenly, frowning.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Pan De was taken aback.

Draco said seriously: "You can't call my father uncle. You are the nephew of Principal Dumbledore. According to your seniority, he has to call you grandpa."

Pender: "."

"How do you know that Dumbledore belongs to my uncle?"

"My dad said it last night. I was so shocked that I didn't fall asleep all night! Now I want to see the expressions of Harry and Ron. They must know too."

Draco smirked.

"Draco is right, but can you not mention it, kid?" Lucius walked out of the castle, he was still very well dressed, the same as when he was seen at the train station.

"I met Pender again, how are you doing recently?"

"Everything is fine." Pender smiled slightly.

"Well, come with me, Draco is going to make tea, the tea made by house elves is not good at all, remember to use Huaxia tea."

"clear."

Lucius took Pender to the castle and walked all the way to the third floor of the castle. This was Lucius' living room and his office.

As soon as he sat down, Lucius said directly: "I don't play adult tricks with you kids, just quote directly, I think your product has great potential.

Not only the quality of herbal medicines, it can be said that it is the first time that medicines are packaged and sold. We can use this to quickly occupy the market and build a reputation before others realize it. The biggest question is, do you have so much time to refine medicines?Where does the production of medicine come from? "

Pan De had expected this result.

Hermione was right, she should use her reputation more.

Whether it is a fellow practitioner from the Fourth Academy, or the nephew of Dumbledore, the leader of the Order of the Phoenix, who is the leader of the White Wizard, if you choose one of the two identities, there will be a lot of speculators coming up to help you.

"The three major wizarding companies in England and the Augustus family can't supply them in time. How about other families?"

Pender smiled, "We'll just do custom, a custom package."

"Oh?" Lucius sat up straight.

"Customized high-end potions have gained a reputation with a higher success rate than most potion masters on the market. There are three major companies in the British wizarding world, Dumbledore, the leader of the white wizard, and Snape, the master of potions. won't believe it."

"And our combination packs, ranging from daily applications, to exploration adventures, and even for Aurors - as long as there are some fields that need to be used, we can launch corresponding combinations, the price is a little cheaper than buying alone, and we expire packs change~"

"Then you won't lose money?"

"Hehe, the potion has a shelf life of 30 years."

Lucius thought for a while, and felt that Pender's plan was feasible.

There are guarantees, and it is indeed more affordable than the market. If it is really possible to sell the combination, it is indeed very attractive. After all, who in the current wizarding world does not want to carry some life-saving things with them?
"Sell herbal medicines first, and at the same time slowly sell individual medicines, then start customization, and finally sell them in combination"

Lucius just thought about it, then made detailed adjustments to Pender's plan.

"Are you in a hurry?" Lucius looked at Pender.

"You know, I'm the only one in the Augustus family."

"Ok."

Lucius found a piece of paper at random.

"The sale of herbal medicines can open up the market. This is what is most needed at present, and it is also the first step. Later, during the on-site sales of herbal medicines, occasionally sell a few bottles of high-quality 'Master's Handy Works' to open up the market for potions."

"After your name as a master is known, someone will come to your door and ask you to customize the potion. At that time, they will show their skills and promote it. Well, it's almost the same. The wizarding world is no different from the Muggle world. The people here are very simple. "

"Combined selling is the killer feature. You have accumulated potions in the past two years, and when the time comes, you can sell them directly to win this market."

Pan De listened carefully and took notes.

Lucius was very satisfied when he saw this. Not only was Pan De's talent excellent, but his intelligence was also first-class.

"The last key question, how many shares do you need?"

Lucius didn't pretend, just raised a finger, "I can provide you with stores, manpower, and even sales channels, and I can also help you contact the other two.

The condition is very simple, I only need [-]% of the shares, but you need to give me priority when it comes to distribution. "

"no problem."

"Okay, nice to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

Pendor and Lucius shook hands, both smiling broadly.

One solved his urgent need for money, and the other made a random investment.I didn't lose anything, but I made a profit~
