Chapter 494 Potion (Modified)
In the middle of the night, the Hogwarts library was empty, and Alan and Hermione occupied the quietest corner of the library alone. There was silence all around, and only Hermione's quill was heard on a stack of thick parchment. Here Modify the sound of some words and sentences there.
Allen had finished his dissertation, and he looked at the reference books Hermione spread out on the table, most of which were books on economics and management, which were not available in the Harris family's library , in the eyes of wizards, these books do not belong to the category of precious books at all, but some nonsense of Muggles can't even be regarded as the category of books...
On the contrary, the Hogwarts library stores some of these books in an unorganized manner, presumably as materials for Muggle studies classes.
"Finally the general idea has been planned." Hermione stretched, yawned lightly, and put down the quill in her hand.
"Can I have a look?" Allen asked, pointing to the stack of parchment in front of Hermione.
"Of course, I also want to hear your advice." Hermione wiped the corners of her eyes and rubbed her face, as if she wanted to wash away the tiredness on her face.
Allen browsed quickly, and after a long time, he put down the planning plan in his hand.
"How did you think of planning this, conglomerating the Harris family's industry and conducting unified management and operation? This is really an amazing plan, Hermione." Allen was amazed. Such a detailed plan seems It takes a lot of energy and time. Allen was a little ashamed, his thinking had solidified, it was completely the way of thinking of a wizard, and he didn't even think of such a move.
This made Hermione's cheeks flushed, and she looked at Allen with bright eyes: "This is not my idea alone." Hermione told the conversation of the Harris family after Allen left at Harris Manor that day. Allen asked, "Do you think this plan is feasible?"
"This plan is highly operable, and I think it is feasible." Allen is very supportive of this move. He is worried about his lack of time, although he knows that the management model of a pure-blood family is not completely suitable for the rapidly developing Harris, but he has absolutely no energy for it. If this plan is implemented, it can be expected that he will be completely freed from the family's tedious business decisions. In addition, since Hermione is in charge of this project, the relationship between her and Harris will get closer and closer, plus her own training class... so it will be logical in the future.
"I think we should vigorously develop pharmaceutical technology and biotechnology. We have convenient conditions. The basement floor of the Harris Tower building is a magic garden, which can speed up the cultivation of the most valuable plants, and the medicinal plants that need to be used in large quantities can be purchased uniformly. And Alan, you have the records of the special processing of medicinal materials and making potions in the Half-Blood Prince handbook that Professor Snape gave you and in the tower. We produce and make potions with good effects and high efficiency. I believe that in a short time , we will be able to form a monopoly on the potion industry. And potions are consumables, which are different from wizard TV products that can be used for many years after buying one. Even though the population of the magic world is small, potions are a long-term It needs to be used. These are the industries that can quickly gather funds, which are different from the previous industries that required large investment and were slow to return funds, and we can even develop the potion industry abroad!"
Allen's encouragement doubled Hermione's confidence, and she uttered her thoughts in one go.
"In addition, we should also prepare in advance for the war that may be triggered by that person's return. It is not enough to rely solely on training everyone's spellcasting level. We can also develop some military equipment, so that on the one hand, it can improve the ability of ordinary wizards to encounter Voldemort and his Death Eaters have self-defense capabilities when they create terrorist incidents. On the other hand, if war breaks out, then both officials of the Ministry of Magic and ordinary wizards will need these things to arm themselves for a sense of security. From ancient times to the present, Arms trading has always had high profits." Allen was inspired and suggested that Hermione add the content of armaments.
Hermione nodded and continued to communicate with Allen on some details of the planning case. The more discussions, the more open the mind, and new ideas kept flashing in Alan's mind: "This set of plans is very good, but I will use your set of plans as the basis and add some of my ideas."
There is no doubt that these things have been brewing in Hermione's mind for a long time. During the communication with Alan, she spoke clearly, and Alan nodded repeatedly.
"There is nothing wrong with anything else, except that the experience and methods of making potions in the Half-Blood Prince handbook that Professor Snape gave me need to seek his consent before they can be widely used." Allen praised Hermione after a while Said.
"Well, yes... I ignored this problem. After all, Professor Snape invented these techniques alone, even though he did not publish these discoveries but gave them to us directly." Hermione is not good at dealing with these worldly things, but Missed this point.
"Don't worry, it's not a big problem." Allen felt sure to convince Professor Snape, after all, he knew where his weakness was.
Allen didn't like to procrastinate, and after Potions class the next day, he stayed until the end.
"Professor Snape." Hearing Alan's voice, Snape raised his head from the pile of bottles and cans handed in by the students, his face full of disgust.
"Professor Snape, the Half-Blood Prince Handbook you gave me, can I use the above knowledge in business, and use it on a large scale?" Allen directly explained his purpose.
"Okay, you go out." Now that it was given to Allen, Snape didn't think about how he would use it. He continued to lower his head, sniffed a bottle of potion, and put it on the roster with disgust. Hit a D.
"Professor, we will give you dividends." Allen added.
"Leave me alone, I don't need it, you can leave now." Snape frowned, he just wanted to quickly complete the identification of these antidote potions. Lily Evans passed away, these things were meaningless to Snape, otherwise, he would have used this knowledge to exchange for a large amount of Galleons.
"Professor, since you don't want it, I plan to use the dividends that originally belonged to you to set up a public welfare fund to provide assistance to wizards who aspire to become potion masters. I plan to call it-E&S." Allen said calmly. said slowly.
ES, the initials of Snape and Lily Evans.
Snape raised his face, walked down from behind the podium, and looked directly at Aaron.
"Professor, when the mysterious man and his forces are completely defeated, I will directly change the name to the Evans Snape Fund." Allen added.
Professor Snape twitched his face, as if he was stimulated by the name of the foundation that Allen named so obviously. He hesitated between being disgusted and relieved, and the eyes on his raised face drooped. After being silent for a long while, he said, "Just call the Lily Foundation directly. Besides, don't come to Potions class this semester. They will try to copy how you do it as soon as they make potions. You will affect other people." Students' learning situation." After speaking, he pointed to the D on the roster, "In addition, my N.E.W.T. class only accepts "O" students."
Alan, who was pleasantly surprised, left the Potions classroom. At the door of the auditorium, Umbridge, dressed in fluorescent pink, looked like a fattened candy, and stopped with a cloyingly sweet smile. Allen.
