Chapter 263 Finalizing the Cooperation
But Hermione suddenly laughed.
"Perhaps because Beausbarton has been an investor for so long, he has a natural tendency to examine others from the perspective of someone in a position of authority."
The little witch's increasingly powerful magic gradually spread out, and her sitting posture became arrogant.
An increasingly powerful pressure emanated from her, and even without using any magic, Lady Sinta felt as if she were being controlled by gravity magic.
When the two witches' souls merged into one, they displayed majesty through magic, achieving an effect almost comparable to illusion magic.
From Sinta's perspective, the small potions classroom suddenly became enormous, her sense of space was gradually being lost, and she herself was slowly becoming smaller.
The little girl in front of her suddenly became incredibly tall, and the seats that were originally parallel became uneven, with one high and one low. She had to raise her head to see the witch sitting upright on CCTV.
She was so dazzling, so bright, like a bright moon, casting boundless moonlight.
It was only then that Sinta suddenly remembered that although the other party had proposed the deal first, in this world where force reigns supreme, Hogwarts, with Dumbledore, did not need to consider anyone's opinion, not even the Mafia!
No, now there's one more—Hermione Granger!
"Her strength is probably not much weaker than Dumbledore's; she could single-handedly wipe out Beauxbatons!"
The experienced alchemist lady was filled with apprehension, regretting her earlier slight arrogance.
With these two top-tier fighters, Hogwarts is now standing at the pinnacle of the world, even without considering others!
What right does she have to ask others, and how confident she is?
Hogwarts' willingness to cooperate on an equal footing is not because they can only cooperate on an equal footing. If the other party were Grindelwald, perhaps Madam Maxim would have offered the contract without hesitation and expressed her deep gratitude to the Malay Party for being willing to buy at market price.
Even though Dumbledore is still no match for Grindelwald at Hogwarts now, holding him off shouldn't be too difficult. So, can Granger break through the Felix Fey of the Vigilantes? How long can Rozier, Black, and the others hold out against her?
Sinta suddenly realized that this castle, which had always presented itself as peaceful, had actually developed such sharp fangs.
"They simply lack the time and experience, but that's not essential. Beauxbatons isn't there to offer help in times of need, but rather to add to what's already good!"
She immediately realized that she had made a major mistake in positioning herself for this trip, but fortunately it was not too late!
The little witch was simply demonstrating her power, but at the same time, she was answering her question.
"Didn't you ask me what the chances of getting into Hogwarts were? Well, I'll show you."
The power she is displaying at this moment is the best answer to this question.
"Once we get back, we must immediately devise a new plan for communication with Hogwarts!"
Sinta took the pipe out of her mouth, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and tried her best not to let the mental anomalies caused by the immense magic affect her.
"Miss Granger, I misspoke."
The next moment, the mountain-like pressure vanished without a trace, and she was back in the Potions classroom. Hermione, like an innocent little girl, sat opposite her, smiling at her.
"Let me first introduce Beauxbatons' antibiotic industry."
"Regarding the specific conditions, you can listen to this first and then we can continue the discussion."
Hermione smiled and nodded.
"Beauxbatons possesses the complete antibiotic production process and equipment, all of which came from a deal with the Muggle regime in the East." Mrs. Sinta's imposing manner had diminished considerably; at this moment, she resembled a project presenter.
"Antibiotics, hailed as a Muggle miracle drug, are being sold at exorbitant prices worldwide. Their production capacity is severely limited by raw materials and the fact that production is controlled by fairies, so they are constantly seeking partners."
"And Beauxbatons, who maintained a neutral stance, was the most suitable ally they chose."
"If you remember the Muggle leader you saw at the Wonders Expo." She paused.
"The reason we made him so comfortable was precisely for the sake of this entire production process and equipment."
"60% of the antibiotics currently on the market actually come from Beauxbatons, and of course, we split that revenue with Chelomere."
Hermione said thoughtfully, "So, our deal with you is actually about secretly taking a cut from this trade?"
Sinta nodded: "This can't be brought up in public, but Beauxbatons can certainly satisfy both families' appetites."
Hermione had to admire the minds of these business geniuses. They were essentially just manufacturers for Muggles, but now they could take a cut of the products and sell them, and the profits didn't have to be shared with the Muggles. They were making a killing.
The production of antibiotics requires a large amount of organic raw materials such as seeds, which Hermione doesn't quite understand. The food production on the Muggle side is also insufficient. On the contrary, wizards have various means to ensure a sufficient supply of raw materials. Therefore, the production capacity is actually far greater than the needs of the Muggles.
"How can you guarantee that this cooperation can continue in the long term?" Hermione asked after thinking for a moment.
"If the Muggles change their minds and take back their technology—"
Lady Sinta gave a sly smile: "No Muggle can keep a secret from a wizard."
"Even if we don't understand their technology, it's not complicated to replicate a production line exactly as it is. Alchemists are a profession that requires a lot of brainpower."
Hermione couldn't help but smile. Before coming, she had specifically researched that antibiotics were invented before the war. In recent years, they have only been updated and improved to be more efficient. The technology itself is not very difficult, and there are not many goblins involved, so the wizards were able to steal them quite easily.
"What about the production workshops? How do we trade?"
Mrs. Sinta said, "You can designate a person to pick up the goods. The antibiotic workshop is quite secluded and guarded by wizards, so it's best not to change the person picking up the goods too often."
Hermione nodded, considering the matter in her mind, and then asked, "So, have you made a final decision?"
We've come back to the original topic, but Sinta's state of mind is different now.
Although Mrs. Maxim may face immense internal pressure, only by confronting Hermione's intimidation can she know which choice was the right one.
Regarding whether Hogwarts can return and whether Hogsmeade can be rebuilt, although she couldn't say for sure, even as an outsider, she felt very confident.
"We choose the second one!"
"Let's bet on the future! Once Hogsmeade is truly built, Beauxbatons will come back to collect today's rewards!"
Hermione smiled with a hint of satisfaction. If Hogwarts weren't currently short of real money, she wouldn't have even bothered to make such an empty promise, as the future costs would be much higher.
"Well then, it's a pleasure to cooperate." With their hands clasped together, a discreet and simple contract quietly came into effect. There were no words, no evidence; this transaction beneath the surface needed to remain silent.
