The news that a malicious guy had sent Albert a malicious Christmas gift had spread throughout the castle through the mouths of the loud-mouthed students of Gryffindor College.
This incident once again proved that Gryffindor House had no secrets.
Many boys in Slytherin College gloated over Albert's misfortune, and a few students who were not on good terms with him even threatened to send him cursed gifts. Malfoy even said a lot of sarcastic words. He suspected that the last Christmas gift was sent to him anonymously by Albert.
However, most of the students expressed sympathy for Albert's experience, especially the girls in the school who were very angry and thought that the guy who sent the anonymous package was just a useless coward.
Of course, the girls' reaction was related to Albert's public disclosure of the formula for the redness and swelling remover. Since the formula for the magic potion was made public, most of the girls in the school have had a good impression of Albert, and some even joked that they should thank the coward who anonymously sent undiluted pus from the Babo tuber to Albert. If it weren't for him, the redness and swelling remover might not have appeared so quickly.
The girls' chatter soon turned away from the subject, and they began to make fun of the coward who had sent Albert the pus of the Babo tuber.
Albert didn't know whether the anonymous package sender would be depressed, but Fred and George were very depressed now. They couldn't understand why Albert wanted to make public the formula of the redness and swelling remover, which was a very profitable business.
You should know that unique business is the most profitable.
Especially after Albert sold all the trial-produced redness-reducing agent, Fred and George had this idea even stronger. You know, their redness-reducing agent was sold at a high price of three sikes per small can, which was a huge profit.
If anyone else were to sell a redness reducer based on the formula, they would simply be diverting their customers.
Under the temptation of Gallon, Fred, George and Lee Jordan began to persuade Albert to make more redness and swelling reducers, but were eventually rejected by Albert.
Albert hopes that the three of them can be patient. After all, the redness and swelling reducing agent is not mature enough and needs to be improved before it can be officially sold. Even if everyone knows the formula of the redness and swelling reducing agent, they will not deliberately manufacture it.
After all, it was difficult to obtain the raw material of undiluted pus from the Babo tuber, and even if all the raw materials for the redness and swelling remover were collected, it was not certain that the redness and swelling remover could be prepared. Otherwise, why would so many girls come to them to buy a small can of three Sickles of redness and swelling remover
Moreover, this thing is in limited supply and each person can only buy a small bottle.
Although it has something to do with the imbalance between supply and demand, the most important thing is to adopt hunger sales.
This is an advertisement for redness and swelling reducing agents.
The twins reluctantly accepted Albert's statement. If there were better ones in the future, it wouldn't be too much of a loss if this formula didn't fail now, after all, it could accumulate popularity.
The redness-reducing agent was indeed very effective in removing acne. After using it, many girls went to the Weasley twins again, hoping to buy some more redness-reducing agent from them in case of emergency. However, Fred and George said helplessly that they had used up all the pus from the barbo tuber, and Albert had no plans to continue making new redness-reducing agent.
Most of the girls expressed regret about this and wished someone would send Albert another portion of the pus from the babo tuber.
Now, the anonymous gift incident has become a hot topic among the girls in school after dinner. Everyone is guessing who sent it. Kenneth Toller even started a bet on it. Everyone only needs to bet one Sickle, and if they guess correctly, they can get ten Galleons. Suddenly, a bunch of Slytherin students rushed to say that they were the ones who sent the anonymous package, and they also explained the process of the crime in detail. The incident became a joke.
…
“Are you really not making redness reducers anymore?”
In the library, Fred, who was doing his homework, couldn't help but ask about this matter. It was a torment for Fred and George to have money but not make it.
When the girls around heard Fred's question, they all pricked up their ears and eavesdropped.
"I've been very busy lately, and I'm out of raw materials." Albert said perfunctorily. He didn't think much of the redness and swelling reducing agent. After all, it was just a simple attempt.
"I heard that Kenneth Toler had someone make a large batch of redness-reducing liquid to sell to the girls in school," Lee Jordan said tentatively.
"Kenneth Toller is such a nasty guy." George said indignantly. He didn't expect that someone would come to steal his business. It was really hateful.
"It doesn't matter, if Kenneth Toler wants to sell it, let him sell it!"
Albert didn't care about it at all. "It still takes a certain level of magic to make redness and swelling eliminating agent. I hope Kenneth Toller won't do the same thing as last time."
After hearing what Albert said, the girls' original idea of going to Kenneth Toller to buy redness-reducing agent suddenly faded. They naturally also heard that Kenneth Toller had prepared a large batch of redness-reducing agent, and the price had risen to five Sickles a bottle. Although the amount of redness-reducing agent had increased, they were still very dissatisfied with it.
"Kenneth Toler really doesn't know how to do business!"
After returning to the dormitory, Albert said this privately to Fred, George and Lee Jordan.
You can make money without doing anything, so why do you have to offend customers? It is not worth it to get a lot of bad reputation just to make a little money.
Be careful not to find a girlfriend at school.
The twins were also upset about their business being taken away from them, and wanted to teach the other a lesson. They had already planned to put a lot of powder in Kenneth Toller's pajamas, so that he would be covered with boils.
In the end, this matter was stopped by Albert.
Fred and George, feeling increasingly unwilling to give up, contacted Mundungus Fletcher privately, trying to obtain undiluted pus from the Babo tuber from him.
Although there are also Babo tubers in Greenhouse No. 3 in the school, the plants in Greenhouse No. 3 are all dangerous and have been under strict surveillance since the last theft.
It was difficult for ordinary students to sneak into Greenhouse 3 to get some pus from the Babo tuber, and some girls had even fallen into it. A Hufflepuff girl tried to break into the greenhouse to steal some pus from the Babo tuber, but was caught by Professor Pomona Sprout, who gave her a severe lesson, deducted points, and placed her in detention.
"Failed?"
Albert asked as he looked at Fred and George who came out of the Room of Requirement dejectedly.
"What are you talking about?"
Both of them were a little panicked. They didn't know how Albert discovered that they were secretly preparing the redness and swelling reducing agent.
"How could you possibly hide your little tricks from me!" Albert said with a smile.
"I really can't get over this. Why should Kenneth Toller take the opportunity to make a fortune while we just sit there and watch? It's so infuriating." George couldn't help but complain.
If you don't make money when you have it, you're a jerk and will be struck by lightning.
"Do you really think Kenneth Toller can make a lot of money?" Albert said with a smile.
"Isn't it?"
"Of course he won't make much money." Albert couldn't help but shake his head. "After all, the current redness and swelling remover is just an inferior version. As long as I come up with an improved version, he will lose money."
"Have you developed an improved version?" Fred looked at Albert in shock. "No wonder you made the formula public. It turns out you have an even better formula in your pocket."
"No, you're overthinking it. I'm just saying that the redness and swelling remover can be further improved."
"We understand!" they said in unison.
Albert was speechless.
What do you know
"I suddenly find that Kenneth Toller is really pitiful. He has been cheated by you again." George said dimly.
"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"In the last Bafey brain-stimulating drug incident, he was badly tricked by you."
