Chapter 1626: A War Without Winners (Seventy-Six)

No wonder this beauty shop is so popular with girls.

The owner of a witch beauty shop is the best advertising sign for her shop. Seeing how beautiful the owner is, and her identity, people naturally believe most of it. This is also because Albert helped to endorse her. The British magic world now has a very good impression of Albert.

Of course, the most important thing is that all the owners of witch beauty shops are beautiful women. There are several such cases, which makes the witches who originally followed the crowd to take advantage start to consider whether the products in their hands really have such magical effects.

It can only be said that the operation plan provided by Albert has stepped on the hearts of girls. Spending a few Galleons can make yourself more beautiful. Many girls are still willing to pay, especially since the probability of winning the bet is still quite high, and there is no reason to give up at all.

Of course, in order to make everyone willing to pay, Albert also used a lot of tricks.

For example, due to the decoration, the space inside the store is not big, and the number of customers it can accommodate is pitifully small. The most obvious evidence is that after Hermione and her group rushed into the store, it seemed particularly crowded.

In addition, most girls are willing to take advantage of the situation and register for themselves for free, and wait slowly in the store, which makes it seem that the witch beauty shop has a lot of customers, but in fact there are only a hundred customers in the whole day.

Then, if everyone sees that the limited-edition products on the shelves are sold out, it will give the customers in the store a wonderful illusion that this store is very popular.

"All sold out?"

Qiu, who didn't know that he had fallen into a consumer trap, looked at the empty shelves and the "sold out" signs on them, and his face was full of astonishment and disbelief.

"Yes, they are all sold out. We didn't prepare too much originally, and we didn't expect it to be so popular." Katrina's mouth corners slightly raised, but she still pretended to be helpless and said: "If you want to buy, you can pre-order here first. Well, it's equivalent to owl mail order. When the time comes, we will let the owl deliver the things to you, but it may take a few days. As for the price, you can also enjoy today's discount. Of course, due to the opening event, each person can only buy one of each item, and only pre-orders today can enjoy discounts."

One of the reasons why the relatively cheap goods on the shelves were snapped up in an instant is naturally the scarcity of supply.

It is far below everyone's expectations, but it doesn't matter if the quantity is insufficient. It can be pre-ordered. Seeing the row of pre-order lists naturally creates the illusion that the witch beauty shop is hot.

Of course, it is not an illusion. The goods here are indeed very popular. The girls who fell into the consumption trap all handed over the gallons in their wallets obediently.

Mrs. Primpenier's joining is also one of the routines. The beauty potion shop she runs is also quite famous in Diagon Alley, and the other party has become a clerk in the witch beauty shop, which is enough to show the value of this witch beauty shop.

If there is no hope, no boss will easily give up his own shop and turn around to join someone else's shop as an employee.

"Aren't you afraid of losing money?"

George's voice sounded from outside the door. He has always admired Albert's generosity and is also very curious about how this shop can make a profit?

"Although facial cleanser is relatively cheap, it needs to be used continuously to be effective." Katrina explained to everyone present, "This thing is not only used by girls, but also by men."

This is very straightforward.

They are doing long-term business, so it doesn't matter if they lose some money at the beginning, not to mention that even if the price is cut in half, it is not a loss. At most, they will earn less labor costs.

This is another reason why many girls are willing to buy. Those who intend to do long-term business are basically very confident in their products. Otherwise, if others are deceived once, no one will be willing to come again.

After all, no one is a fool, and no one wants to be treated as a fool.

Although they are very unwilling, all the girls have to admit that the owners of those witch beauty salons are all beauties, beauties in every sense.

"Can't you sunbathe often?"

Angelina listened to the other party's advice to her in French-accented English with a look of surprise on her face.

"Yes, although everyone says that wheat-colored skin looks healthier, this is actually a helpless lie. Excessive exposure to the sun will damage the skin. If you don't want to age faster in the future, you need to pay special attention to this aspect."

Louise, with a rosy face and radiant, picked up a small bottle of sunscreen and placed it in front of Angelina and suggested: "If you can't avoid it, it's best to use sunscreen on yourself, but I still recommend avoiding it as much as possible or taking good protective measures."

"Beauty is a lifelong thing. You can't expect to rely on some magic potion to solve your problems. If there is such a magical potion, please tell us, we are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it." Catherine gave her own advice to Sana in a more serious tone, "If you don't care much about your appearance, it's enough to do some simple maintenance every day. This is also the most common advice we give to most customers."

Facing the professional advice of the beautiful shop owner, the girls all felt that she was very practical and did not mean to fool them. The only problem was that they all found that it was very expensive to take care of their skin. Even if it was the cheapest plan, they had to squeeze out a few Galleons every month to buy the cheapest beauty package "Facial Cleanser and Essence" to take care of their skin. Just like what Katrina said before, they were doing long-term business.

However, the most interesting thing was Qiu's consultation.

As a famous beauty in Ravenclaw, she was actually very curious about the changes in Isobel.

Even though Isobel was married at a young age and had children, she was still elegant, beautiful and full of charm.

In the end, Isobel recommended Katrina's book to her and told her how to take care of her body and keep herself charming through this book.

When the girls finished the consultation and came out of the witch beauty shop, they couldn't help shivering. They found that their wallets were quietly deflated.

"No wonder Mrs. Primpinel didn't even want to sell her own shop, but wanted to work here as an employee." Qiu Zhang looked back at the Witch Beauty Shop with fear.

"No, I think you may have misunderstood. Mrs. Primpinel is willing to work here as an employee, probably because they offer a good price."

Sanna noticed the looks from other girls around her, shrugged and explained, "Albert has done something similar."

"Not only can you eliminate your competitors directly, but what will others think when they see that Mrs. Primpinel doesn't even want to sell her own shop, but wants to work here as an employee?" Shanna reminded, "You also saw that the products were sold out on the first day of the store opening, and a lot of people could only pay and wait for owl mail, which was an irresistible temptation for those beauty-loving women."

"Did anyone see Hermione?"

Ginny suddenly asked, she found that there was one less person here.

"Hermione is the last one." Angelina looked back at the Witch Beauty Shop, "Wait a little longer, she should be out soon."

At this moment, in the Witch Beauty Shop.

Hermione was facing the undisguised scrutiny of Albert's lovers with a stiff expression, and this group of rude guys even whispered in French in front of her.

Although Catherine and her group did not point it out directly, they obviously thought that Hermione lowered the average level of Albert's lovers. Therefore, they gave Hermione a lot of suggestions seriously, from dressing to hair combing, from facial care to body management, to temperament cultivation.

For this reason, Hermione finally came out of the witch beauty shop with a dark face, holding a book written by Katrina in her hand.

"This is..."

Qiu Zhang noticed the book in Hermione's hand and cast an inquiring look in surprise.

"Isobel gave it to us. She said we might be able to use it."

Hermione handed the book to Qiu Zhang, took a deep breath and said, "Go back. I regret coming here today. It's just a waste of time."

"No, I think it's worth it."

This is the voice of most girls. They all think that the suggestions given by those shop owners are quite reliable.

"No, I mean I'm wasting my time coming here today."

Hermione looked back at the witch beauty shop that was about to close, and told everyone to go back.

She didn't like Albert's lover, she really didn't like him, but luckily she didn't go to the welcome dinner that night, otherwise she would be pissed off.
