Chapter 130 Agreement? That's for the Ministry of Magic

After entering the store, the pudgy witch adjusted her glasses, then walked to the counter where the magic items were placed, and reviewed them one by one.

"This anti-curse glove is interesting, but you need to stare into the opponent's eyes to deflect the curse. Bad review!"

"This retractable ear can listen, but it needs to be connected to a thin wire. Do you really think that everyone else is blind? Bad review!"

"This protective ring can build a defensive barrier, but it's too expensive. Bad review!"

The short and fat witch walked around the store and sprayed every product she encountered. Ivan was confused. If he hadn't known in advance that the other party was here to purchase things, he would have almost thought that this guy was sent by the wizard market. Looking for trouble

Fortunately, among the four people who came over, Delis and Sunny were also among them, so Ivan went up to ask about the situation.

Delis looked solemn and did not answer, but Sunny lowered her voice and spoke quietly.

"This is Mrs. Mu En from the Finance Department of our Execution Department. She was sent by the department to lower the price."

Speaking of this, Sunny also blushed a little, because their executive department has been extremely poor recently, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Does the Ministry of Magic still need to lower prices when purchasing? Aren't you an official organization?

Ivan was speechless. He thought the Ministry of Magic was rich and rich.

No wonder this woman started picking out all kinds of shortcomings as soon as she walked in the door.

Mrs. Mu En suddenly turned her head and glanced at Sunny. The little girl who had just joined the job was immediately startled, and she did not dare to reveal any more information to Ivan.

After looking around, Mrs. Mu En finally stopped, touched her gold-rimmed glasses, and spoke.

"In short, although these items meet the Ministry of Magic's procurement standards, they are far from what I expected. In addition, I think the price should be discussed further."

"For example, the Ministry of Magic is planning to purchase the anti-curse gloves in large quantities at one time. The price should not exceed five Galleons. Otherwise, the Ministry will reconsider whether this purchase is worthwhile."

Ivan frowned slightly. He was really not suitable for bargaining. Fortunately, Aisiya spoke up at this time.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Moon. Seven galleons is already the lowest price. Including the research cost, you can't even earn one Sickle. So if the Ministry of Magic refuses to purchase it because of this, then I can only express regret."

Asia looked at Mrs. Mu En tit for tat, without any intention of giving in.

Judging from the news she received, the Ministry of Magic has suffered a lot of personnel losses in the past few days, and there is no way it will give up on purchasing anti-curse gloves and rings.

Mrs. Moon's eyes immediately moved away from Ivan, and turned to look at Asia. The atmosphere on the field seemed to condense.

Ivan was sandwiched between the two of them. He felt that he was under great pressure for a moment, so he simply gave up the place and prepared to fool the other idle Aurors.

The next step was almost the home court between Mrs. Moon and Asia. The two sides talked at odds for more than an hour before reaching a formal agreement.

The Ministry of Magic purchased 300 curse-proof gloves at a price of 6 Galleons and 10 Sickles at a time, totaling nearly 2,000 Galleons.

Ten rings of protection were purchased, and the price of one ring was reduced to sixty-five galleons, for a total of six hundred and fifty galleons.

In addition, retractable ears and quick-witted quills were also purchased in small quantities, adding up to a total of three thousand galleons.

After the discussion, Mrs. Mu En was obviously very satisfied and felt that she had almost achieved the cost price.

But she didn’t know that the so-called research expenses and research time were not as high as she imagined. It was a miracle created by three geniuses in one month!

What Ivan didn't expect the most was that Mrs. Mu En was extremely interested in the enhanced version of the potion he brewed.

"Are these potions really such a big improvement?" Mrs. Mu En held a bottle of enhanced joy potion in her hand. The sign below said that the potion was twice as effective as the normal potion!

The other potions on the counter have much higher effects than normal potions according to the descriptions above, but the prices are not much higher than those on the market.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can try it yourself." Ivan said confidently.

Mrs. Mu En hesitated for a moment, then unscrewed the cork on the bottle of joy potion, shook it gently as if tasting red wine, and finally poured out a little and took a sip.

The next moment, Mrs. Mu En's wrinkled face relaxed instantly. She felt as if her body and mind had been washed away. The worries and depression at work were swept away. A satisfied smile hung on the corner of her mouth, with a slight hint of satisfaction. said with a hint of surprise.

"Which potion master's work is this? Can it have such a strong potion effect?"

You must know that the efficacy of common potions such as joy potions is generally relatively stable, and it is difficult to make major improvements unless a potion master improves the original formula.

Ivan just smiled and said nothing.

Mrs. Moon didn't ask any more questions. High-quality purchasing channels are always secret. She just felt it was a pity. She had originally thought about whether she could invite him to serve as a consultant at the Ministry of Magic.

Although the ministry has a cooperative relationship with St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, some ordinary potions can be purchased from there, but those special high-level potions can only be prepared by individual potion masters.

Perhaps because of the effectiveness of the joy potion, Mrs. Mu En generously included some strengthening potions in her purchase list.

After leaving the deposit and signing two agreements, Mrs. Mu En left with satisfaction.

"The anti-curse gloves are 11 Galleons? The protective ring is 120 Galleons. Didn't Mrs. Moon lower the price? Why is the price even higher?" Ivan stepped forward curiously, took a look at the content of the agreement, and found that it seemed to be the same as what was discussed before. Not quite the same.

"Because this agreement is for the Ministry of Magic!" Asia explained lightly, and then put the agreement away.

"Ministry of Magic? Aren't they from the Ministry of Magic?" Ivan asked strangely.

"To be precise, he's from the Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic!" Asia glanced at Ivan.

Ivan immediately understood,

The Ministry of Magic is also divided into multiple departments. Although it is an official organization and has a great cause, there are too many places to spend money. Every department is eagerly waiting for the Ministry of Magic to release funds. The competition for funds between them is very fierce. The Executive Department they contacted is only one of them. Just a department.

Therefore, when reporting funds to the higher authorities, the Execution Department will naturally report as much as possible, and the remainder will be added to the department's independent treasury for use in other needs.

But then Ivan felt a little strange. In this case, how could Asia let Mrs. Mu En lower the price.

Perhaps seeing Ivan's thoughts, Asia spoke up again.

"In exchange, they are willing to order some potions from us in the future."
