Chapter 426: Falling into the trap again
The news that a malicious guy sent a malicious Christmas gift to Albert has spread throughout the castle through the mouths of Gryffindor House students.
This incident once again proves that there are no secrets in Gryffindor House.
Many boys in Slytherin House gloated about Albert's misfortune, and some students who were not on good terms with him even threatened to send him cursed packages. Malfoy even said a lot. In a weird way, he suspected that the last Christmas gift was sent to him anonymously by Albert.
Most 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 disclosure of the formula for the redness and swelling remover. Since the potion formula was disclosed, most of the girls in the school had a favorable impression of Albert, and some even jokingly said that he should Thanks to the coward who anonymously sent Albert the tuber pus of Babbo. If it hadn't been for him, the redness remover might not have appeared so quickly.
The topic quickly got sidetracked.
Whether the guy who sent the anonymous package would be depressed, Albert didn't know, but Fred and George were very depressed now. They couldn't figure out why Albert would reveal the formula for a redness remover, which was a very profitable business.
You must know that independent business is the most profitable.
Especially after Albert sold all the trial-produced redness and swelling remover, Fred and George's thoughts became even stronger. You must know that Albert's redness and swelling remover can contain three psicordine per small jar. Sold at a high price, it's a huge profit.
If other people also prepare and sell redness removers according to the formula, they will directly divide their customers.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan were still too young and, tempted by the prospect of more galleons, began to persuade Albert to make more redness removers, but Albert eventually declined.
Albert hopes that the three of them will be patient. After all, the technology of redness remover is not mature enough and needs to be improved and perfected before it can be officially sold. Even if everyone knows the formula of redness remover, sometimes they spend time, money and energy to make it themselves. It's cheaper than just buying a bottle.
Obtaining the pus from the baba tuber is inherently difficult. Even if all the raw materials for the redness and swelling remover are collected, it may not be possible to prepare a high-quality redness and swelling remover.
Otherwise, why would so many girls come to the twins to buy a small jar of Sanxico’s redness and swelling remover?
This stuff is currently in limited supply, and each person can only buy a small bottle.
Although related to the shortage of supply, the most important thing is that Albert adopted hunger sales.
This is Albert’s advertisement for redness remover.
The Weasley brothers have accepted Albert's statement. If there is a better formula in the future, it would not be a disadvantage to reveal the formula now. After all, they need to accumulate popularity.
The redness remover is indeed miraculous in eliminating acne. After using it, many girls went to the Weasley twins, hoping to buy some more redness remover from them for emergencies, but Fred and George had no choice. The ground said that they had used up the pus from the Babo tuber, and Albert had no plans to continue to create new redness removers.
Most of the girls regretted this and wished someone could send Albert another copy of the pus from the Barbo tuber.
Nowadays, the anonymous gift incident has become a hot topic among school girls after dinner. Everyone is guessing who sent it, and Kenneth Toller even used it to start a betting game.
Everyone only needs to press one Sickle, and if they guess correctly, they will be rewarded with ten galleons. Suddenly, a bunch of Slytherin students rushed to say that they remembered the anonymous package, and also provided various details to make this matter straightforward. Became a joke.
…
“Are you really going to stop making redness removers?”
In the library, Fred, who was doing homework, couldn't help but ask about it. It was a torture for Fred and George to have money but not make any money.
Several girls around heard Fred's question and all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop.
"I've been very busy recently, and I have no raw materials." Albert said casually. He didn't value the redness and swelling remover. After all, it was just a simple attempt.
“I heard that Kenneth Toller found someone to make a large batch of redness remover and planned to sell it to girls in school.” Lee Jordan said tentatively.
“Kenneth Toller is such a nasty guy.” George did not expect that someone would come to steal his business.
“It doesn’t matter, if Kenneth Toller wants to sell it, let him sell it!”
"Making a redness remover requires some magic potion level. I hope Kenneth won't do what happened last time." Albert didn't care about this at all.
“Kenneth Toller really doesn’t know how to do business!”
After returning to the dormitory, Albert said this to Fred, George and Lee Jordan privately.
You can obviously make money by lying down, so why do you have to offend customers? It is really not cost-effective to get a lot of infamy just to make that little money.
A good reputation can be considered a kind of capital!
“Be careful he can’t find a girlfriend in school.”
“He never had a girlfriend.” George said quietly.
They were also unhappy that their business had been taken away, and even wanted to teach the other party an unforgettable lesson. The two planned to put powder in Kenneth Toller's pajamas and make him covered in boils.
This matter was finally stopped by Albert.
The more they thought about it, the more unwilling they were, Fred and George still contacted Mundungus Fletcher privately, trying to obtain undiluted pus from the Bobo tuber.
Although there are also Barbo tubers in Greenhouse No. 3 in the school, the plants in Greenhouse No. 3 are dangerous to a certain extent. Since the last time Albert visited the greenhouse, the greenhouse has been closely monitored by Professor Sprout.
It would be difficult for ordinary students to sneak into Greenhouse No. 3 to get themselves some pus from the Babo tuber, and a girl has even planted it on it. A Hufflepuff girl tried to break into the greenhouse to steal some pus from the Bamboo tuber. She was caught red-handed by Professor Pomona Sprout, and was severely punished and had her points deducted. Confined.
"Failed?"
Looking at Fred and George who came out of the Room of Requirement dejectedly, Albert asked.
"what are you saying?"
Both of them were a little panicked. Neither of them knew how Albert found out that he was secretly preparing the redness and swelling remover.
Albert looked at the two of them calmly and said nothing himself.
“You also said before that we need to master the method of making redness remover.” Fred muttered guiltily.
"Why should we watch Kenneth Toller take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune?" George couldn't help complaining, "It's so irritating."
If you don’t make money but don’t make money, you are a **** and will be struck by lightning.
“You really think Kenneth Toller can earn a lot of Galleons?” Albert sighed silently in his heart. Money made Fred and George impetuous, and now both of them were thinking about Galleons.
"Is not it?"
"Of course I can't make much galleons." Albert couldn't help but shook his head, "After all, the current redness and swelling remover is just an inferior version. As long as I come out with an improved version, he will lose money."
"Have you already developed an improved version?" Fred finally understood why Albert wanted to disclose the formula. It turned out that he still had a better formula in his pocket.
“No, you are overthinking it. I just said that the redness and swelling remover can be improved.”
“We understand!” the two said in unison.
Albert was immediately speechless.
What exactly do you understand?
“I suddenly realized that Kenneth Toller is really pitiful. He was tricked by you again.”
After the twins learned the truth, they no longer envied Kenneth Toller, but felt a little sympathy for him.
“I didn’t trick him.”
“He was tricked by you in the last Buffy brain-reviving agent incident.”
