"You have two main tasks. The first is to prepare the beauty potion. Do as much as you can. I will pay you for each bottle of potion."
"Although your fixed monthly salary is 60 Galleons, you can earn much more than that."
As a qualified boss, Murphy is now very familiar with making cakes.
This job sounds very good. Alex nodded vigorously, "I will try my best!"
"Very good, the second job. This bag is full of medicinal materials, some of which are white fresh, and some are other medicinal materials. You have to crush all the medicinal materials in this bag and mix them together. You have to crush them into powder so that people can't see the raw materials at all."
"After mixing, put them all in cloth bags and pack them in this barn. Someone will take away the mixed powder every Monday."
"Wait until these materials are taken away. Come on, go and buy potion materials. The most important is dioscorea, followed by the raw materials for the beauty potion. I will make a list of other potion materials for you later. Buy as many of these materials as Diagon Alley has. "
"Someone will bring some other herbs here on Monday afternoon. You mix the dioscorea you bought with those herbs and then crush them."
"Crush, mix, pack, wait for someone to take them away, then buy more materials, crush, mix, pack... repeat. This is your most important job. Do you understand?"
Alex nodded blankly.
"What, is there a problem?"
Alex hesitated for a while, "The money for buying potions..."
"I will give you a sum of Galleons every week, and I won't let you pay for it."
Alex breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that he has suffered losses in this regard before?
"One more thing, Mr. Peter Parker, is there a fireplace here?"
"Fireplace?"
"That's right... I need to use the Floo Network to go to Diagon Alley..."
Murphy was stunned, "You can't Apparate?"
"I didn't get a license." Alex looked a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid my limbs will be separated..."
"Waste..." Murphy sighed.
Alex was aggrieved, "I, I can use the Knight Bus to work here..."
"...Okay, I forgot to say just now that the work I asked you to do needs to be kept confidential. My identity, this barn, and what you buy with the materials you want to do, all need to be kept confidential and cannot be told to any wizard, do you understand?"
"Knight Bus... Tsk, forget it, I'll make you a portkey later."
"Oh, headache."
Murphy sighed, wizards are really useless.
But it's normal to think about it. Not everyone in the Muggle society can drive or fly a plane.
With the Floo Network being very popular in the magic world, ordinary wizards don't need to use risky travel methods such as Apparition.
On the contrary, dark wizards or Aurors who fight against dark wizards will use it more.
"Oh, by the way." Thinking of dark wizards, Murphy felt that he had to remind them, "Be careful when you buy potions."
The first two times he went to buy materials, he vaguely felt that he was being watched.
However, after all, it was a one-time purchase of tens of thousands of Galleons, so it was normal to attract other people's attention.
"Showing off your wealth may attract prying eyes. You'd better be more careful. It's best to change your identity to buy materials. Do you know how to make Polyjuice Potion? Always have some. In short, don't wander around after buying things, and come back quickly."
Alex was already a little uneasy.
"Mr. Parker, can I, can I think about it again…"
"A monthly salary of 80 Galleons."
Alex was fine.
"Then let's start working today. There are quite a few materials in this bag..." Murphy said, and suddenly felt a vibration in his waist, and then a ding-ling-ling sound like an alarm clock.
He was stunned for a while, and then he took out the big mobile phone from another seamless stretch bag on his waist.
This thing has no caller ID, but Murphy guessed that it should be Patrick calling.
Sure enough, after the call was connected, Patrick's voice came out, "Hello, hello, boss? Can you hear me?"
"I can hear you, what's wrong?"
"It's not clear over the phone, why don't you come over first."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
"Wait, you don't want to come to my house to find me, do you?" Patrick said, "Come to the office, we just rented a whole floor of the Lloyd's Building. The address is..."
Murphy was a little embarrassed. As the founder and big boss, he didn't know the address of his company until he had moved.
After hanging up the phone, Murphy was ready to leave. After thinking for a while, he took out a pen, wrote down his mobile phone number, and handed it to Alex, "Do you know how to use the public phone? If you have something to do, call me on this number. Owl is too slow."
Alex looked at Murphy talking to someone with a black lump blankly, took the note blankly, and looked at Murphy leaving blankly. He felt that he seemed to have come into contact with too many things today, and his brain was not enough.
However, thinking of his monthly salary of 80 Galleons, Alex became happy again.
Mr. Peter Parker is a good man!
You have to work hard!
He opened the bag Murphy gave him and began to pour the herbs inside.
Various herbs gushed out of the bag continuously. At first, Alex remained calm. After all, people hired him to handle the herbs, so there must be a lot.
But after a few minutes, Alex was a little uneasy.
This is not right, this must be several thousand pounds, right?
Murphy bought not only magic materials, but also a lot of Muggle medicinal materials. Compared with the former, the latter is the bulk of the medicinal materials.
When the bag was finally emptied, Alex looked at the pile of medicinal materials and felt his eyes go dark.
He felt that he had never seen so many medicinal materials in his life!
How long will it take to process it?
80 Galleons a month is not so easy to get.
Mr. Peter Parker might be a devil!
…
On the other side, Murphy Apparated to the center of London, and then took a taxi to the Lloyd's Building.
Murphy was stunned when he saw the metal building in front of him.
This is not a skyscraper, it is less than 100 meters high, but its outer layer is all wrapped in steel, huge pipes run through the entire building, metal open-air stairs and large glass curtain walls make this building look as if it should appear in 2187 instead of 1987.
"Cool!"
It's so damn cool!
Take the elevator to the 10th floor, Murphy gave Patrick a thumbs up when he saw him.
"Okay, you have good vision!"
Patrick didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although you are the boss, my son is almost as old as you, okay?
"If you mean this building, I think it is more in line with the technological concept you want to achieve. However, we can only afford to rent this floor at present. With the addition of personnel, office equipment and the like, we have no money and even owe the bank a little."
"What are you afraid of?" Murphy waved his hand, "I was born with talents that will be useful. I will make it back even if I spend all my money. Just build it! If you go bankrupt, it's your ability."
With a bunch of magic potions that can form a dimensionality reduction attack on Muggles, how can I be short of money?
At most, the speed of cashing in the early stage can't keep up, but it doesn't matter. At worst, I can find another blind rich man to beg for favor.
Murphy has no psychological burden at all for taking the capitalists' money to develop productivity.
Patrick smiled bitterly, "No need to build it, we are almost bankrupt."
"Huh?"
