Hogsade Village, Honeydukes Candy Shop.
Ambrosio Froo is replenishing the store shelves with candy in preparation for the arrival of Hogwarts students to Hogsade.
"Ugh!"
Froo sat back at the counter, stared straight at the notebook on the table, and sighed softly.
The candy shop owner has been in a bad mood recently. Since the rise of Fred and George's "Happy House" joke shop, he can clearly feel that the business in the Honey Duke candy shop has declined significantly, which makes Froo the most angry. It was Zuko's betrayal. He clearly agreed to suppress Fred and George's business together. As a result, the guy turned around and went directly to the enemy, and now he is still earning a lot of money, which makes Froo like eating shit. Uncomfortably, he was hesitating whether he should accept the invitation.
The magical candies that Fred and George sold did not actually overlap with the candies and desserts he sold. The two sides did not seem to have conflicted. However, there are so many people in the entire British wizarding world, and the purchasing power of most children is limited. Bought the "Happy House" candy, and also ran out of money to buy the candy in the Honeydukes store.
At least, for the vast majority of Hogwarts students, the magic candies are more attractive to them when they are younger.
Even though his Honeydukes candy shop is well known across the UK, Froo is well aware that most of the shop's custors co from Hogwarts students.
The Honey Duke's candy store is obviously about to be defeated by those magical candies, but he has never been able to crack and create more attractive products.
"Darling, look at the store for first, and I'll go talk to Zuo Ke." Froo closed the notebook, handed over the task of inspecting the store to his wife, and walked directly to Zuo Ke's magic joke shop go.
He saw Zuo Ke, who was chatting with John at the post office at a glance, and after the two had finished chatting, Froo walked over to say hello.
"Looks like your business is booming."
"It's not very popular, but the business is okay, it just doesn't have much to do with ." Zuo Ke seed to rember sothing and sighed helplessly, "Why, are you planning to join too?"
"I did think about it. I plan to talk to Fred and George first, but I can't contact them for the ti being." Froo didn't hide that who made Zuoke's business fire, making him jealous.
Who else can't get along with Garen?
"Don't look at , I can't contact them either." Zuo Ke shrugged and motioned for Froo to speak in the store.
"Can't you do it?" Froo frowned slightly.
"There's no way." Zuo Ke complained, "I heard that they were targeted by Death Eaters, and now I don't know where to hide. No wonder they asked to help sell the goods. I always feel like I was cheated by them. ."
"What did you an when you said it had little to do with you?" Froo ignored Zuko's complaint, which ans that unless the Wesley brothers are killed by Death Eaters, the store will reopen. It's just a matter of ti.
"I am actually the owner of this store. I can get a fixed salary every month, and I get a small commission for the items sold, but I chose to keep the ownership of the original products in the store, so the commission rate is low. "Zuo Ke was a little depressed when he talked about this, because he found that many products in his original store could not be sold, even if they were discounted. Long is quite impressive and sustainable. The most frustrating thing for Zuo Ke is that Lee Jordan has reminded him many tis about it, and he still stubbornly makes the worst choice. Big fool.
Froo frowned slightly after listening to Wes Lai's offer to the twins to Zuo Ke. Because the other party's conditions are not attractive to him at all. Although the Honey Duke candy store is not as popular as it used to be, it is still very profitable. According to Zoco's contract, it is not attractive to him at all.
"If you cooperate, the situation should be different. After all, my shop was going to be closed at the beginning." Zuo Ke comforted: "You can consider contacting him to talk about the cooperation between the two parties."
"Sigh, it would be great if the Ministry of Magic could limit their monopoly." Froo is a little regretful. It's not that he hasn't studied those magical candies, but he has never been able to crack the mysteries. Even if the ingredients are cracked, the effect is achieved It's also far less effective than those magic candies.
"Don't think about it, if we could restrict them, we would have succeeded long ago." Zuo Ke understands Froo's depressed mood, after all, Zuo Ke's magic joke shop was in a worse situation than the Honey Duke candy shop, otherwise He also won't accept cooperation invitations. He lives such a busy life. Just because he needs to receive every day, consignnt sales and bill settlent make him half tired. Sotis Zuo Ke wants to hire soone to help him, but think of the other party's salary. After I wanted to go out myself, I gave up this tempting idea.
"If you can contact them one day, tell them that I am willing to talk to him about cooperation." Froo felt that he should leave a way for himself, lest the other day plan to enter the candy field, Honey Duke Candy Store Maybe it will end up in Zuoke's store closure.
"I will, but you'd better not have expectations." Zuo Ke looked at his old friend and shook his head.
Froo walked out of the joke shop and was about to return to the candy store when he saw two Ministry of Magic employees who had just finished their patrol and were chatting with Ms. Roserta, the owner of Three Broomsticks.
After the eyes of the two sides t, Froo just nodded slightly towards Ms. Roserta, then turned and returned to his shop.
This scene fell into the eyes of the mid-life crisis response team mber who was in charge of the patrol. UU Reading uukanshu
"Is sothing wrong?"
Another young crisis-response team mber stopped and looked back at his colleague.
"nothing."
The two returned to the temporary base to rest, made themselves a cup of black tea, picked up the newspaper to watch the latest news, and chatted about the current situation incidentally.
"Do you think anyone in Hogsade is really under the Imperius Curse?"
Since the Ministry of Magic sent people stationed in Hogsade Village, they have checked the residents here more than once, but they have not found anything abnormal.
Beidi Pavilion
"If there is, it must be a profound Imperius Curse, otherwise the flaw would have been exposed." The middle-aged wizard took a sip of black tea and continued to flip through the newspaper in his hand.
"Why are you so betting that soone in Hogsade is under the Imperius Curse?"
"I don't know, maybe there's a new clue from the Auror's office." The young wizard stood by the window, looking outside with his binoculars.
"Maybe they've planted a spy on the You-Know-Who."
"How is it possible to go to the mysterious man to be a spy, do you think your life is not long enough?"
It's a good job anyway, at least it doesn't need to be as busy as everyone else. "Looking at the news reported in the newspaper, the Ministry of Magic employee sighed, "I always feel that those guys are crazy. Now things are getting bigger and bigger. Once things can no longer be covered up, I really don't know how to end." "
"It's not very good..."
"what?"
"I an this has nothing to do with us, let the minister worry." The middle-aged employee secretly raised his wand and cursed at his colleague.
