Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

"It is not unusual for Gadwin Robards to take office. Barty Crouch is still the director of the Legal Enforcement Department. It is impossible for Millicent to bypass him and join the Auror Command." Murphy said.

Barty Crouch obviously also knew that his trial of Sirius was flawed, so he kept delaying it. Six months later, the retrial has not yet started.

Thanks to this caution, although his reputation has been slowly declining since the tragic death of "Barty Crouch Jr." in prison, he still has many supporters and is still sitting in the position of director. Steady and steady.

Lucius Malfoy, sitting opposite him, had a gloomy look on his face.

A few days ago, the position of Director of the Auror Office that had been vacant was finally confirmed to be filled by Gadwin Robards, which obviously did not meet Lucius's expectations.

"It seems that your gold coins are not so useful in the Ministry of Magic." He said angrily.

Murphy raised his eyebrows, "Why, do you care about the candidate for this position?"

"'Our friends' are very dissatisfied with this result," Lucius said, "and I have promised that this position will be filled by Rasim Selwyn."

Murphy sneered, "Even now, this Rashim hasn't appeared in front of me once?"

"Selwyn's family actually has a good relationship with Rufus. They are a little dissatisfied with your design to bring down Scrimgeour."

"Ha." Murphy seemed to have heard a big joke.

"Even though they have long coveted the position of Director of the Auror Office?" Murphy snorted disdainfully, "They are obviously a group of scavenging vultures, but they come to blame me for killing their prey? What a group of noble gentlemen."

Lucius was speechless, and after a while he said: "It will not be good for us to have Gadwin Robards take office."

"But there's no harm in it. At least it's better than giving your place to a disobedient dog."

Something in Murphy's words irritated Lucius, and he moved the corners of his mouth as if his teeth were sore, but in the end he did not have an attack.

"Could it be that you took the lead in this matter?" he finally asked.

"I don't need to do anything. Barty Crouch doesn't have many people at his disposal. Gadwin Robards has limited resources. If he wants to secure his position, he needs to rely on his superiors. Barty would be better off without him." If I have a choice, I will definitely choose him.”

Lucius looked at Murphy. He had already said that Barty Crouch would not let the position of Director of the Auror Office go out.

Although this young man said that he had no friends in the ministry, he could predict the direction of things more accurately than himself.

Maybe my judgment of him was not accurate. Maybe he was not just the upstart that I imagined.

"But why didn't you stop it?" Lucius asked, "At least Rasim Selwyn is on our side..."

"Oh? Really?" Murphy looked at him with a half-smile.

"In the past six months, I asked you to invite him to sit down three times, right? He hasn't come yet. So, do you think it's because he looks down on me, or because you didn't take your words to heart?"

Lucius didn't answer.

"Gadevon Robards is just a clown who is attached to Barty Crouch. He can't become a big deal. I can even kill Rufus, let alone him? But once a dog that doesn't recognize its owner becomes swollen with power, , it might backfire on its owner."

Murphy stood up, "I don't give them money for their enjoyment."

"I let them live comfortably now, not to let them go against me."

"Since they don't know that yet, I think it's time to rein in the reins."

"I remembered that the Selwyn family is in the magical beast business?"

Lucius felt something terrible in Murphy's words, just like he had felt in Shetland a year ago.

"Yes, the Selwyn family has been engaged in the business of magical animals since their ancestors. The pet shop and owl shop in Diagon Alley are their industries. They also have two zoos that exhibit magical animals. In addition, they also operate some and Magical beast-related potion ingredients and potions.”

Murphy nodded, "In this case, I need you to prepare and place a store next to each of their stores. Magical animals are imported from France, Germany, wherever they are, and we will do whatever they do, and they will sell them." We will sell whatever we sell, and we cannot sell less than them. Moreover, the selling price of all our products must be 10% lower than theirs.”

"this……"

"I haven't finished yet. You also need to investigate their purchasing channels. Either buy out their suppliers, or snatch up all the goods at a price that is 10% higher than theirs. In short, cut off their supply. Supply.”

"Finally, aren't they selling potion materials? From today on, when he sells materials and potions to any of our potion shops, he will only provide one-tenth of the original price."

At present, Murphy has monopolized almost all the potion business in the British wizarding world, which has basically cut off the Selwyn family's financial path from selling magical creatures and potion materials.

These three items basically blocked all the Selwyn family's business in the wizarding world. Anyway, they were just throwing some money. Murphy, who was burning hundreds of millions in the Muggle world, didn't feel any distress at all about this.

He didn't bother to count tens of thousands of galleons.

"Is this going too far?" Malfoy asked.

"Don't they have a lot of backbone? I'm happy to see people live with a strong heart, just for one year. If they can survive one year, I won't be embarrassed anymore. You can tell them clearly, It’s up to them whether you want to bow your head or not.”

Of course, Malfoy's so-called "our friends" are not limited to the Selwyn family, and Murphy's move is nothing more than killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Tell them, "In the future, I will keep my word on the territory of the wizarding world. Don't treat me like a person."

In the past, he spread money widely to show kindness to these people, but if he only showed kindness, he would be regarded as weak and could be bullied.

In fact, Murphy didn't want to press people's heads to make them sing "Conquer" like Voldemort. He just planned to leave the place and go about his own business without being disturbed.

Of course, he also understands that as his influence in the wizarding world expands day by day, he will definitely occupy the space of the original "noble lords". No one will be willing to give up their things, so Murphy needs to kill Seth. Erwin, the chicken, made the monkeys who were about to throw stones feel a little afraid.

He wanted to let those "friends" know that when friends come, there is good wine, and when enemies come, there are swords and guns. He also wanted the "friends" to understand that the reason why Murphy did not lift the table was just because there was no need, and it did not mean that he did not lift the table. No.

"Why me? Wouldn't it be better for you to do this kind of thing yourself?" Lucius finally asked.

Hey, why you?

Do you really think my money is so easy to get? Still want to be paid and not work? Do I, Murphy, seem to be such a loving person?

"Lucius, do you know what they call you behind your back?" Murphy said suddenly.

"What?!" Lucius was stunned, not quite understanding what Murphy said.

"Peacock."

The corners of Lucius's eyes twitched. He really liked those beautiful creatures and even kept a few at home.

"Beautiful, arrogant, showing off, but useless." Murphy looked at him with half mockery and half pity, "In their eyes, you are nothing more than that."

"Lucius, it's time to choose your true friends."
