Kenneth Toller looked at the three people beside him with a strange expression. In the end, Mrs. Puddifoot put a chair at the table, otherwise he would have to stand.
"Mr. Anderson, you are younger than I thought," said Mrs. Primpianer, shaking hands with Albert.
"Well, everyone says so." Albert politely extended his hand to shake hands with the lady in front of him.
"Everyone?"
Mrs. Primpianier was a little curious about who the "everyone" Albert was referring to, but she did not forget what she came here to do today.
"Let's talk about the topic of today's meeting. Your redness and swelling reducer version 2.0 is indeed very good. However, your taste in naming is really hard to agree with." Mrs. Primpianier said with a smile.
Isobel gave Albert a smile that said, "See, I told you you don't know how to name something."
"500 Galleons is not something I cannot accept, but I am more concerned about how much profit it can bring me. I mean... I heard that Mr. Anderson only spent half a month to improve the potion formula." Mrs. Primpenier took a sip of red tea, looked up at Albert and asked, "If I buy your formula and you improve it again, I will lose everything I put in."
"It's not entirely my credit to improve the potion." Albert raised his hand and pointed at Isobel and said, "My friends also helped me a lot."
"Who is this lady?" Mrs. Primpennell looked at Isobel and asked curiously.
"Isobel MacDougal." Albert introduced, "The genius of Hogwarts."
"If you are interested in beauty potions, I welcome you to apply for a job in my store after graduation." Mrs. Primpenier shook hands with Isobel and invited, "I will give you a satisfactory price."
Kenneth Toler and Katrina were both a little embarrassed and couldn't get a word in.
"I'll think about it." Isobel politely declined.
"Okay, Mr. Anderson, you haven't answered my question yet?" Mrs. Primpianer turned her gaze to Albert again.
"Five years. I think five years should be enough for Mrs. Primpenier to make back her investment." Albert thought for a moment and said, "And she can make a lot of money."
"The time is too short." Mrs. Primpenier shook her head and refused. "If it's only five years, I'm afraid I can only give you half the price."
"You should have used potions before. Redness and Swelling Eliminator Version 2.0 is already a mature product. In Hogwarts, a large number of girls and boys use it to eliminate acne on their faces. Everyone likes to make themselves look prettier." Albert said to the lady in front of him while drinking milk tea, "I think you will definitely make a lot of money, at least you won't lose money."
Mrs. Primpianer tried to say something, but was interrupted by Albert raising his hand.
"Improving potions is not that simple." Albert continued, "As a pharmacist, you should also be aware of this."
Mrs. Primpynel remained silent, because the boy in front of her was right, this was a sure-win deal, and she just wanted to get more benefits for herself.
"This is just a gamble at best. If I don't come up with a better potion, 500 Galleons will be equivalent to the formula for Redness and Swelling Eliminator Version 2.0. Madam Primpenier will undoubtedly make a fortune."
Mrs. Primpynell did not dispute this, for she was equally aware that the boy before her knew well the price of the formula.
"Do you think this is a bet?" Mrs. Primpianer looked at Albert with interest.
"Yes." Albert said with a smile, "Besides, you won't lose the bet. At most, you will earn a little less. If I lose the bet, I will definitely lose a lot. Of course, I dare to gamble because my luck has always been good, and I am very confident in my luck."
Mrs. Primpynel thought about it for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
Because what Albert said was absolutely right, the unique business was very profitable, and she would not lose money on this childbirth anyway.
To take a simple example, the quick-smoothing hair spray used in the magic world today was a product invented decades ago. The inventor made a lot of money from it, and eventually he sold the shop and the formula of the potion, making him a rich man directly, but today the quick-smoothing hair spray is still very profitable.
If Albert had not developed a new redness and swelling reducing agent, it would mean that this formula would also be very valuable, and five hundred Galleons might not even be enough to make a fraction of the profit.
Is it really that easy to improve potions
As a pharmacist, Mrs. Primpianer naturally knew how difficult it was to improve potions.
Finally, she agreed readily, and took out a contract recognized by the Ministry of Magic and handed it to Albert for signature. Both parties happily reached the deal.
However, Mrs. Primpianel pointed out in the magic contract that the new and improved redness and swelling reducing agent must be different from the current one, otherwise it would be considered as a breach of contract by Albert, and Mrs. Primpianel had the right to spend a certain amount of Galleons to purchase the potion formula.
Albert and Isobel were naturally aware of this little detail, but Albert didn't care, because the Redness and Swelling Eliminator 3.0 would definitely be an ointment, not a medicine.
Katrina, who witnessed the entire transaction, stared in amazement as she watched Albert easily acquire five hundred Galleons, and he was so generous as to give Isobel fifty Galleons.
Katrina opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing and just left the teahouse in a daze.
"It went better than I expected." Isobel smiled and said to Albert while drinking milk tea, "But you are really generous."
"You helped throughout the whole process, didn't you?" Albert said lightly.
Isobel didn't pay much attention to Garlon's question and continued talking about what happened just now. She hoped that Albert could help her sister. This was actually the second time, but because of their relationship, Katrina was slowly excluded from their original small circle. After all, when the two of them were together, they didn't want a third party to be there, and Isobel meant that she hoped to help Katrina again.
"That's no problem." Albert asked jokingly, "But aren't you afraid that I'll kidnap your sister?"
"Don't be afraid. I am still very confident in myself." Isobel kissed Albert's cheek and said, "Besides, I don't believe you would do that."
"Haven't you heard that all boys are playboys?" Albert couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"It seems that you are very confident in yourself!"
Isobel ignored Albert's self-mockery and glanced at the bag of Galleons and said, "Although I like your confidence, but... I think Mrs. Primpa Neil will probably open champagne to celebrate when she returns!"
"I don't feel like I've lost out." Albert said calmly.
Even if I kept the formula for the redness and swelling reducing agent, I wouldn't be able to sell it for 500 Galleons, so it would be better to just exchange it for money.
"In my order, the redness reducer is a ointment. I believe we can complete the redness reducer version 3.0. You know, my luck has always been good." He said to his girlfriend.
"I like your confidence," Isobel said, "but you are really bad at naming."
"Then remember to help me think of a nice name."
