This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 237 Selling Things

Now Andrew received two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

The good news is that the principal is not slacking off every day, nor is he mentally ill. He really has things to do and his schedule is very tight.

The bad news is that he has to take on an extra job, and he was brought over as a mascot...

Damn it—what dignity does he have?
This was really hard to understand, but he had no choice but to get ready.

However, before that, he had to prepare well for the reception - the fact that Professor McGonagall had sent a special letter was very telling, and he was not as carefree as Dumbledore.

Fortunately, it was not an official visit, and the problem was solved by simply asking the elf to clean it up.

But entertaining this fact is...

"Ask Dumbledore for help? Forget it... Asking the headmaster for help is really too outrageous... Fortunately, there is someone to ask for help."

Unlike decorating the auditorium, receiving three vice presidents was a very impressive task. It was not shameful to ask for help from one's own dean...

At least you won’t be kicked out of the office—the etiquette issue is still there.

So, Andrew turned to his dean for help with a bitter face without hesitation, "Help, dean! The headmaster is just making things difficult for me. I am a pure Ravenclaw!"
While the tone and vocabulary certainly need to be very elegantly embellished, this is the reality.

Fortunately, although Professor Flitwick was a little dissatisfied with the fact that he was not seeking knowledge about spells, he thought that etiquette issues were at least within the scope of knowledge.

After about two hours of instruction, Andrew successfully figured out how to do it without appearing too rude.

As for other things, it didn't matter - Professor Flitwick gave him a hint that inviting Dumbledore to the meal after the tour would make up for a lot of the gap. As for the etiquette during the reception, he generously assisted all the Ravenclaw prefects who stayed in school.

"Gryffindor doesn't have a retained prefect, but we can ask Professor Black to come out. Well, let's not bring the professor... Let's talk to Hufflepuff and have the retained prefect receive them... After all, we can still talk to Professor Adams..."

"Of course, bring all the lab members out. They are mixed anyway, but we need to remind them not to talk nonsense, otherwise they won't be able to sell at a high price..."

"That's it. Anyway, Professor McGonagall will be with me throughout the whole process. That's enough..."

-

"Pegasus...is coming..."

Andrew, along with a bunch of prefects and people from the power lab, stood at the reception area, waiting for the Pegasus to land. Hagrid was in charge...

Professor McGonagall was the first to get off the carriage, followed by four wizards, two men and two women.

???

Andrew was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show it. He quickly went up to greet him, "Professor, you're back."

"Well, everything is fine," Professor McGonagall nodded, "Let me introduce you, Taylor. This is Headmaster Aika Amato of Beauxbatons."

"Welcome to Hogwarts, sir."

After them are the other three, Bardo Roland of Durmstrang, Dora Aurora of Castrobinger, and Elf Neto of Ilvermorny. It is worth mentioning that Professor Neto is the only one who is not a vice-president.

These four people came from four magic schools, two from the three major European schools, Ilvermorny which has risen in the United States in recent years, and Castrobuse, who Andrew was very familiar with and often exchanged documents with.

Yes, this magic school in South America, Castrobusa, has the best relationship with Hogwarts, and the two schools have exchange programs from time to time. Andrew once heard Percy complain when he was dealing with the list. His brother Bill used to be a pen pal with a student there, but unfortunately he couldn't get enough money to carry out the exchange program.

"There's nothing we can do. Exchange students have to pay. But the herbal medicine there is very good. After all, the environment is advantageous. I remember Professor Adams said..."

As Andrew was reminiscing, he greeted the visitors politely - he didn't know whether it was because Professor McGonagall had told him in advance or because the other party had good manners, but Andrew didn't notice any overly outrageous looks.

"It's a holiday after all, so please forgive me if there are any problems with etiquette."

After that, the members of the laboratory were introduced. Andrew, who knew that he didn't know much about alchemy, stepped back a few steps and let the professionals do it. At the same time, he winked at the Ravenclaw in the team - just watch it, don't say too much about the cost, and the same goes for the price!
After that, a group of people came to the castle and visited the laboratory, and then they admired and commented, and even bargained - Andrew, who was not good at this, just listened with a smile.

However, the negotiation issue is not how many units to purchase, but the purchase of the right to use them - permanently.

Yes, as a magic school with heavy protection, naturally, outsiders cannot be allowed to participate in the construction and layout. So it must be built by ourselves, even if we take a step back, it must be done by people recognized by ourselves. And although this thing can be learned by looking at it, it cannot be copied directly.

There is no way to control the problem of personal plagiarism, but everyone has to save face, so, after buying the license, it is your own business how you change it. We do not sell it to others, and you don't have to control how we play or install it.

"Yes... I was overthinking..."

Andrew reviewed the situation silently, watching Professor McGonagall and the others handle the negotiations with ease.

"It's a pleasure working with you, Taylor. Just go and draft the agreement. Come back soon."

He was called upon to print the document as if he were a camera - using magical permanent ink on parchment and then stamping it with the official seal.

After that comes the reception and dining activities - but this task is led by the seniors.

"You go and sign them separately, Taylor, and then give them the sorted information - although they can do it themselves..."

In the office, while the professors and the headmaster were being taken away by other students, Professor McGonagall spoke in a low voice.

"Just collect the original price at Ilvermorny. The other two schools will get a 30% discount, and our old friend will get a 50% discount. Don't be surprised when you collect the money, and don't say anything."

...

professor?

Andrew was stunned - he didn't expect Professor McGonagall to start this trick.

But it's also true that everyone has a different cooperative relationship, and the high price is definitely a trap for Ilvermorny...it's normal to charge double the price.

"Will Albus be at the luncheon banquet?"

"Yes, Professor, I spoke to the president specifically, and he is willing to change his schedule."

"That's good. Basically, nothing serious has happened. How is your Transfiguration during this period?"

"I'm still working on the course assigned by the principal. It will probably be completed in two or three days."

"That's good. You've worked hard this time... Albus really is... I don't know what he's busy with..."

Professor McGonagall shook her head and said, "I'll give you three days off. Have a good rest."
