Flivi's home.
Mike looked at Arthur and Vesemir with empty hands in front of him, a little speechless.
"Don't you two have any luggage?"
Hearing that Vesemir's face blushed, and Arthur said as a matter of course: "Didn't you say that there is everything there?"
It’s correct to say that, but you two came here from the United States thousands of miles, didn’t you bring any luggage?
While ranting frantically in his heart, Mike informed the opponent's factory's Floo network coordinates.
Los Santos is not responsible for the Dolphin Magic Drink Factory under Unlimited Magic Company.
Although the coordinate name is very confusing, it is necessary to recite the coordinate name if you want to accurately apply the Floo Net to the designated location. So Arthur and Vesemir memorized it for a long time before reluctantly remembering it.
Now three days have passed since Mike and Vesemir finalized the signing. The reason why Arthur and the others were allowed to go to the factory was delayed for so long because the old man Vesemir requested too much.
Not only an independent and high-quality dormitory, but also a full set of training equipment and training venues.
In order to meet the old man's request, Mike had to invite the wizard construction team again, and it took a day and a half to finally complete everything the old man requested.
"Stop talking about this, are you ready?"
"Alright... right?"
Facing Mike's question, Vesemir was a little unsure, and reciting the slurred name was really difficult for him, an old man with a decline in memory.
Mike ignored him, went directly into the fireplace and sprinkled the Floo powder in his hand to transmit.
Arthur and Vesemir looked at each other and could only follow.
After a period of floo network transmission, Arthur and Vesemir finally felt down to earth again.
What appeared in front of them was a large conference room. The two of them patted the smoke and dust off their bodies before they walked to the Mike who had been waiting outside.
"Are you ready?" Mike said with a smile, "See my factory!"
Speaking, Mike pushed open the door of the conference room and walked out, Arthur and Vesemir slowly followed, a trance appeared on their faces immediately after seeing the scene outside.
I saw dozens of workers wearing uniform black uniforms sitting on a long assembly line. There were men and women, old and young, but each of them worked very seriously and did not notice Mike and others. 's arrival
Suddenly, the magic clock hung above the wall of the factory made a crisp sound of music, and all the workers on the assembly line stopped hearing this sound. Arthur looked up and saw that there were only a few simple text blocks on this magic clock, namely, work-meal-rest-off work.
At this time, the only pointer on the magic clock was pointing to the dining location.
Turns out it was time for dinner.
Vesemir suddenly realized and continued to look at the workers.
What surprised him was that the scene of going to the restaurant in twos and threes, talking and laughing, did not appear. The thing of order seems to have been carved into the bones of the workers, and they lined up in order, in batches. Leave the workshop one by one and go to the cafeteria next door.
"How is it, not bad?"
Mike said proudly.
Now, the Dolphin Magic Drink Factory has gradually become better after a period of running-in. The employees who love troubles are constantly being singled out and driven away, leaving only those who obey orders. The workers are concerned about their daily work. I also became familiar with it, which led to a further increase in the factory's output, reaching 5000 bottles+ per week.
But this output is still not enough compared to the huge market. In desperation (happy), Mike and the Weasley brothers can only increase the price and double the wholesale price of Dolphin Magic Drink to filter out those Low-level consumers.
Nowadays, there are no less than ten sales outlets of Dolphin Magic Drink in the two large wizarding areas of Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. Those dealers who originally dismissed Dolphin Magic Drink are now Everyone begged Mike to purchase.
Of course Mike readily agreed.
Of course, the price and benefits are naturally inferior to those of the first batch of dealers.
Although the price is a bit expensive, these distributors still agreed very readily. The reason is that they can pass on the extra cost to consumers. Now that the supply of Dolphin Magic Drink is in short supply, they do not need to worry about not being able to produce the goods. problem.
When the major distributors were making a lot of money, Tom, the owner of the Broken Cauldron Bar, was very uncomfortable.
Because his dealer application has not been answered until now, what he doesn't know is that Mike did this deliberately, and he has not forgotten everything he experienced in the Broken Cauldron Bar when he first entered the wizarding world.
He is going to go to the Broken Cauldron Bar in person tonight and recount the old times with Tom, the boss.
Come back to Arthur and Vesemir.
The two followed Mike straight through the workshop to the staff living area behind the factory.
Compared with the hot workshop area and canteen in front, the living area is even more lively. Although the schedule set by Mike is three shifts, eight hours of intensive work a day obviously cannot completely drain all the energy of the young workers.
So they got together in twos and threes, chatted and played wizard chess.
Vesemir even saw some men and women walking together hand in hand, seeming to be in love.
What surprised Vesemir and Arthur was that no matter what these workers were doing, when they saw Mike, they would immediately stop their movements and hit their hearts with their right hands.
Mike will smile back and nod to it.
Until Mike disappeared from the workers' sight, they would relax and continue what they were doing.
"You still do this thing here?"
The scene of the workers saluting Mike reminded Vesemir of some bad things, which made him a little uneasy.
And Mike also saw his inner thoughts and replied faintly in the face of inquiries: "Order is a shortcut to increase productivity."
Vesemir looked at Mike deeply, stopped talking, and believed him for the time being.
In other words, he was unwilling to believe his original conjecture.
A few minutes later, Mike led Arthur and Vesemir to a small two-story mansion.
Xiaoyang Building is located on the edge of the factory. Standing on the balcony on the second floor, you can see the endless forest sea. On the edge of the small western-style building, there is a large newly opened site.
This open-air field is somewhat similar to the playground in a Muggle school, with many white lines drawn with magic paint on the ground to divide the training area. There are also a large number of training equipment and alchemy dummy on the field. Although it is not as good as Professor Flivy's training room, it can basically satisfy Arthur's training.
"How? It's not bad here, right?"
"Reluctantly."
Vesemir answered Mike pretending to be calm, but the corners of his slightly raised mouth had already betrayed him.
As for Arthur, he had already rushed into the small western-style building and looked at the furniture inside curiously.
"Then the safety of this factory is up to you." Mike said with a smile, "Your job is very easy, as long as you maintain the daily order, you can stop any disputes with the workers, don't let them If there is a physical conflict, at least you can't draw out your magic wand."
Vesemir listened carefully, and Mike continued when he saw this: "Of course, your protection also includes factory equipment and various properties. Once theft occurs but the thief is not caught, you will deduct wages."
"no problem!"
Vesemir agreed without hesitation. Relative to such a high salary, this amount of work is simply not worth mentioning.
"It's late, let's go to lunch."
"it is good."
Vesemir started to walk back when he heard the words. He had already remembered the location of the cafeteria on the way here. However, Mike stopped him suddenly and said with some doubts:
"Where are you going? I have asked Shuke and Beta to prepare lunch in your dormitory, as your welcome ceremony."
Vesemir was startled when he heard the words and looked at Mike in surprise.
In the sun, Mike smiled gently, his blond hair shining brightly, and his smile was extraordinarily warm.
Vesemir's heart was warm, a smile appeared on his face, and the anxiety in his heart caused by the salute of the workers before disappeared.
Impossible, how could a teenager with such a smile be the same as those two people.
At night, Mike bid farewell to Arthur and Vesemir, and came to the Broken Cauldron Bar through the Floo Net fireplace.
At this time, the cauldron bar was empty, and the old drunks had disappeared. This was driven away by Tom deliberately. Today, Tom will be here to welcome an important guest.
Tom paced back and forth in the bar anxiously, and the dull footsteps were especially pronounced in the silent night.
Mike is already late.
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the fireplace, and Tom turned his head to look, and saw a young man with short blond hair walking slowly out of the fireplace.
"Mr. Tangli! Long up for a long time!"
Tom immediately put on a smiling face, and when he greeted him enthusiastically, he hugged Mike.
However, facing Tom's hug, Mike hid sideways, which made the smile on Tom's face suddenly froze.
"Boss Tom, it's been a long time."
A slightly immature voice came from Mike’s mouth, which made Tom react. The slight displeasure on his face disappeared quickly. He eagerly pulled a chair away and said to Mike: "Sit down, sit down, you want to drink something What? My treat tonight!"
Ignoring Tom’s hospitality, Mike looked at the cleaned tables and chairs, nodded in satisfaction and sat down, and then took out two bottles of iced Dolphin’s magic drink from the non-marking stretch curse bag. One of them was handed to Tom.
Tom’s eyes were glowing when he saw Dolphin’s Demon Drink. The reason why he kept his breath so low was for this cute little thing. In his eyes, the baby with water drops on the bottle wall was not a drink at all. But the golden Jin Jialong.
"Ha!" Tom let out a sigh of relief after opening the cap and filling half the bottle, "It's a good thing! I feel like I am back when I was young!"
Mike was indifferent to Tom's compliments, just playing with the drink bottle in his hand, as if this Dolphin's magic drink was different from other drinks.
The smile on Tom's face gradually stiffened. According to international practice, the two of them should talk to each other before discussing business. However, now that he had thrown away the conversation, Mike ignored it.
The flattering on the horse's legs felt uncomfortable. Mike's behavior made Tom very dissatisfied. He even wondered if Mike came here specifically to humiliate himself this time.
He didn't know the identity of Mike before, but after investigating it, he remembered that Mike was the kid who clashed with Old Pete two years ago.
Old Pete disappeared after a conflict with Mike, and the body was not found in the lake until a week later.
The preliminary conclusion given by the Ministry of Magic was that after falling into the water after being drunk, the old Pete's family had no doubts at all. After the corpse was treated hastily, they happily divided up his few possessions.
Seeing that no one cared about this matter, the Ministry of Magic gave up and continued the investigation.
This is the so-called people do not raise officials and do not investigate.
To be honest, Tom can understand the family of Old Pete. Although Old Pete comes from the blogger family, all his immediate family members are dead, and it has always been a fine tradition in the British wizarding world to eat absolutely nothing~EbookFREE.me~ And usually because of his bad temper, he doesn't make good friends, no one cares about his life and death.
Even at the beginning, Tom believed the Ministry of Magic's statement. After all, old Pete was an alcoholic, and it made sense to fall into the lake when he was drunk.
But after learning about Mike's existence, Tom began to doubt the cause of old Pete's death. The reason was impossible. Mike's deeds in the past two years all proved that he was a cruel man.
Old Pete probably killed him!
Tom is not willing to believe this conclusion, because if this is the case, Mike has been killing people at least since he was twelve.
This is really scary.
It's not that he didn't want to report Mike in the past, but he has no evidence. And Mike has met a lot of big people in the past two years, in case he doesn’t die...
Tom suppressed the horrible thoughts in his heart, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Mr. Townley, look at our Dolphin distribution contract..."
Tom stopped abruptly in the middle of speaking, looking at Mike expectantly. This makes Mike very boring.
Originally, he planned to come here to have a pretending addiction, but the bar owner Tom didn't get involved at all. He just let you beat and scold him, so Mike didn't have the pleasure of revenge.
Looking back on it carefully, Tom didn't seem to have much malice towards him at the beginning. In a sense, he drove himself out of the bar to prevent him from being hurt more.
Thinking of this, Mike sighed, but when he was about to let go, he saw a figure suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
"Um, boss Tom. Is there any hot dog sausage or something else?"
Harry, in pajamas, walked down the stairs and was taken aback when he saw Mike and Tom in the empty bar.
