Monica was taken aback by Tom's aura. She didn't expect Tom to dare to yell at her.
"What are you talking about? Mr. Seven, I seriously remind you that I represent the Ministry of Magic!" Monica said angrily.
"No!" Tom stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Monica, "You only represent yourself, and the breakdown of today's negotiation is all your responsibility."
Monica: ?
"Do you know who the person in front of you is?" Tom stared into Monica's eyes very seriously, "I am an alchemist, I am an alchemist who can refine defensive magic items, I am He is an alchemist who can refine defensive magic items and is willing to sell them half to the Ministry of Magic at a very low price, but what is your attitude towards me?"
Tom decided to cut the arrogant and unwilling guy in front of him from the Ministry of Magic, so that she could not act in the name of the Ministry of Magic.
Many times, being in a huge group will give people an illusory sense of security, making the originally insignificant individual become bossy because of the general trend of the group. Some people suddenly gain power—even a tiny bit of power as small as a fingernail.
In the face of such a crazy person, the easiest coping strategy is to separate him or her from the group, so that they can clearly realize that they are not representative of the group behind them, and their actions are to pay for themselves, not for That collective is responsible for the actions.
Before Tom took Monica out, it was Tom who was talking to the Ministry of Magic, and when the negotiations broke down, the arrogant alchemist refused to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic. But after Tom separated Monica from the Ministry of Magic as a whole, the negotiation between the kind alchemist and the high-level Ministry of Magic who cared about his subordinates was disrupted by a small assistant.
The alchemist is right, the top of the Ministry of Magic is right, it's all the assistant's problem!
The Ministry of Magic will not fire assistants - the Ministry of Magic's job is an iron job, and they have endured not firing a guy like Bertha Jorkins, and naturally they will not fire Monica, but Monica Thus ended his political life.
"Of course I'm willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic, but with you as the representative, I don't see the need to continue this negotiation!" Tom grabbed the table in front of him, flipped it up, and overturned the table, letting the quill on it go. , inkwell, parchment scattered on the ground.
Tom's eyes swept across the stunned four people in front of him, and he said word by word: "The preciousness of defensive magic props, you should understand - just now, Mr. Lucius Malfoy ordered a similar magic prop for me. It took a full 800 Galleons! Although the anti-curse gloves have reduced most of the performance, what is the difference between the asking price of 20 Galleons and the free gift?!"
"Masters of the Ministry of Magic, can you still find a second alchemist who is willing to make magic items at this price?" He bent down, picked up the glove that fell on the ground, and brushed the dust off it. , and handed it to Naya.
How to say this glove is still paid for, it is his own guest, so it deserves a little preferential treatment.
"Can't you find it? Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, how many alchemists are there?" Tom smiled contemptuously, "It's you who should correct your attitude!"
After some words, the Ministry of Magic's four-member group was speechless, and Dawlish and Naya bowed their heads embarrassedly - Tom's words made them ashamed. Those who are on the front line understand how much benefit a piece of anti-curse gloves can bring. The price offered by Mr. Qi is already very favorable, and they really have no face to bargain.
As for the representative of Director Sinkenis, he looked like he had nothing to do with him. He is too aware of the positioning of himself and the director behind him. After the Minister of Magic got involved, he and the Director had lost their say on the matter. Jumping too **** the matter would surely attract the attention of Minister Burns, which Mr. Sinkenis didn't want.
However, it was just right that his low-key attitude allowed him to successfully escape the catastrophe.
Monica's face flushed red. She didn't expect that she just said casually, and instinctively repaid the price, which caused such a strong backlash.
When she was in charge of international trade before, she never encountered such a situation! Those businessmen were all polite to her, but how did they become like this when they came to this alchemist?
I haggle, you can talk to me, why do you have to yell at people?
The previous Monica represented the British Ministry of Magic, so her various outrageous behaviors were covered up by the behemoth behind her. The supplier who negotiated with her even hated her because of the British side. I also have to endure the loss of a smile, until today.
What Monica met today was just a needless one. In other words, Monica played Party A before, and today she is Party B. Magic props are a seller's market, and she simply doesn't have the capital to negotiate! Borns sent her here for many purposes: delivery time, purchase volume, variety, whether the group purchase can be discounted... The bargaining is definitely at the bottom.
She put the cart before the horse.
Monica became more and more angry, and finally a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Cried? Tom was a little surprised. Is this commissioner's psychological quality so poor? Come in through the back door!
"You are really not suitable for negotiation." Tom looked at the other three. "Go back and report to your leader, and say please send someone with a clear mind. Also, Mr. Delix, you can prepare to pick up the goods."
Several people left their seats and prepared to leave through the gate.
"I want a magic item that doesn't need to be reloaded, is not afraid of wear, and is passively triggered, okay!" Seeing Monica's "it's not me, it's the world" picture, Tom still couldn't hold back and stood up and sneered. One sentence, "Add more money! Two hundred Galleons, there is no ceiling, and you are satisfied."
Monica stumbled a bit, covered her face and ran out of the door of the alchemy workshop.
Delix and Naya were left behind, relatively speechless. In the end, it was Delix who complained: "Is the current assistant minister so unprofessional?"
"There is a good father who came to the minister's office to be gilded. Minister Burns could not have imagined that this kind of negotiation could be screwed up by her..." Naya was also speechless. Delix: "You'd better go to Gringotts to withdraw money, you won't come home empty-handed."
Delix showed a smile, said goodbye to his companions, and went to Gringotts alone to withdraw money. A quarter of an hour later, he rubbed a ring with joy and returned to Naya.
This ring, which had emptied his savings, is now in his hands!
