Chapter 299: Potion Counterfeiting
It has to be said that Snape's heart-wrenching words successfully aroused the students' tension.
Black market transactions gradually flourished among fifth-year students, especially the Bafey brain-stimulating agent, which had been sold for a price of twelve gold galleons.
But correspondingly, counterfeiting has also flourished.
Jian Yu was annoyed by the constant complaints, and all the class leaders were overwhelmed by it.
——To the point that everyone has to join forces to crack down on this kind of counterfeit and shoddy product deception of consumers.
"We found that some people used fox feces to impersonate dragon claw powder, and some used frog brain preparations to impersonate Bafe brain-stimulating agents."
At the prefect meeting, Hermione was so angry that she slammed the bottle of fake potion on the table:
"Eddie Carmichael and Harold Dingo of Ravenclaw... these were all confiscated from them."
"I charged students twelve gold Galleons for a pint of fake potion. Harry and Ron almost made a fool of themselves. If I hadn't taken it away in time, I'm afraid they would have owed a fake debt for the rest of their lives..."
All the prefects turned their eyes to Ron, the prefect who looked a bit like an anti-fraud propaganda officer who was ripped off by a fraud gang.
Draco reacted almost immediately. Seizing this great opportunity to taunt the enemy, he immediately challenged:
"As a prefect, you broke the law knowingly. You might as well step down as soon as possible, Weasley! If you can't do it, then don't do it. There are plenty of people who can do it anyway!"
This made Ron's face turn red, and he wanted to bury his head in the ground to repent for his behavior as a prefect who was blinded by greed.
But amidst the noisy discussions and quarrels, Jian Yu sensitively captured two key words.
A pint?
Twelve Galleons?
"Calm down, Hermione." Cedric spoke helplessly to stop Hermione from slapping Ron on the head. "At this time of year, the trade in brain stimulants is endless. In fact, we have been unable to stop it. We can only investigate and deal with them one by one based on the clues reported."
Repeatedly banned? Endless?
Jian Yu felt his cerebral cortex become active.
She didn't want to spend five months traveling around confiscating and searching for fake potions!
"To be honest, sometimes I really can't help wanting to buy it." Ernie MacMillan, the fifth-year Hufflepuff prefect, lamented, "Concentrate, refresh the mind, and improve efficiency. Who can resist such temptation, especially when facing the OWL exam?"
Jian Yu finally understood everyone's desire for these brain stimulants.
This is just like the "reading pills" and "top scorer pills" that are advertised on the eve of the college entrance examination to improve memory...
Even if it may not be effective, it can at least provide great psychological comfort.
Of course, as potions, Bafei Brain Refresher and Dragon Claw Powder have been proven to be effective by students of all previous years.
An idea quickly emerged in Jian Yu's mind, causing her to smile mysteriously and suggest:
"Everyone, it's better to control it than to block it. If we catch one person, there will be another one. We won't be able to have peace until the exam."
"Since Bafe Brain Refresher and Dragon Claw Powder are so popular, why don't we open a legitimate channel so that everyone can take the medicine properly?"
Not only can they make money together, but it can also reduce her workload in combating fraud and improve students' review efficiency...
This is simply a permanent solution!
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the class leaders' eyes lit up.
Especially Ron, he almost jumped up from the stool immediately and raised his hands and feet to show his support:
"I agree with your proposal 120 percent. Of course, it would be even better if the prefects had the right of first refusal. Ouch! It hurts!"
He was elbowed by Hermione, causing him to crash in mid-air, falling back onto the stool with his four legs in the air, and he did not forget to let out his final cry:
“Reasonable pricing! Guaranteed quality! Otherwise, the high cost will lead to debt, and counterfeiting will lead to too many side effects, affecting everyone’s review…”
He seemed to have never understood his brother Percy, whom he thought was the most old-fashioned and boring, so much that he even shouted excitedly:
"If you need charters... I can steal Percy's Great Crucible Report... and his pile of market surveillance charters..."
Jian Yu felt like he was slapped in the face, because last time he had ridiculed Percy's crucible quality report as "really amazing and could change the world."
Hermione slapped him on the mouth, and several senior Gryffindor prefects also came together to hold Ron down.
Their faces flushed red, as if they were embarrassed by others, or perhaps they realized that Gryffindor's reputation had been completely destroyed by Draco's ridicule.
"That's a very good suggestion." Cedric had to speak up to save Ron who was about to be suffocated. "I think this is feasible. I will propose it to Professor McGonagall. This is a good thing for the benefit of all students. It can improve everyone's review efficiency at a reasonable price, while limiting the dosage for each person to prevent accidents. I think she will agree."
The corners of Draco's mouth rose a little, and like Jian Yu, he felt the scent of money and spoke proudly:
"In that case, I can ask my father to order the herbs. Our family has a channel that is a little lower than the market price." ×|
He secretly flipped through his notebooks, which were filled with business theories he had studied, and continued with great confidence:
"Of course, since it is for students to use, our charges will be lower than the market price."
"Moreover, the bottle will be printed with the image of Jade, the logo of our game console, and the Malfoy family crest, just as a kind of additional advertisement... I can give away peripherals to cheer you up for your review. I hope you don't forget the great charity we are doing..."
It seemed that he had indeed managed to learn something from those Muggle business theories and decided to put them into practice in a big way.
After that, he patted his chest and promised Jian Yu that if he failed, he would come to see him with his head on his back and ask for forgiveness.
Faced with his advice, Jian Yu, who felt that he only needed to lie down to get the job done and collect the money, smiled with satisfaction.
Young people should be positive like this!
How can she reap the benefits if he is not proactive?
