Chapter 453, Section 451: International Businessmen

Sheen now has his own workshop.

After the contract takes effect, he will inherit most of the jade workshop;

A small portion, concerning the international trade department, was done in cooperation with the Terra family witches who were by his side.

"Please take a look. I am formally applying to become your agent... My God, luck always comes unexpectedly..."

Suya lowered her head, appearing both reserved and excited, with a hint of furtive nervousness.

"Agent..."

Sheen took the contract, somewhat puzzled.

"Let me explain to you..."

Suya couldn't suppress the urge to smile, so she could only speak earnestly in an excited tone.

"In the magical world, wizards' products are easily sold all over the world... Your Excellency Hermes, you see."

Those wizards wearing Ministry of Magic uniforms and medals were from the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

They are responsible for approving international transactions by wizards and include: the International Office of Magical Law, the International Association for Magical Trade Standards, and the International Wizarding Federation.

Most of them were specialists from the International Magic Trade Standards Association stationed at the Emerald Workshop.

When we want to sell magical products internationally, we need to partner with an international merchant who has been accredited by the Ministry of Magic.

Suya mentioned a special concept in her words—international businessmen.

"It's such an honor to have the opportunity to apply for a collaboration with you... Oh, and as you may know, I'm also an international businessman."

Suya smiled, a faint blush spreading across her cheeks, earlobes, and even neck.

What could be more wonderful than partnering with Hermes, the greatest wizard of the future and a triple great, and experiencing the mysteries of alchemy together?

Sheen turned his gaze to Professor Terra and carefully read the contract again, and then he roughly understood.

Thanks to the existence of Portkeys, the Floo Powder network, and other technologies, wizards face no difficulty in engaging in international trade. Consequently, the Ministry of Magic has spawned a massive department—

International Magic Cooperation Division.

They will verify the qualifications of wizards and allow some wizards to engage in legitimate international trade.

The relationship between international merchants and the International Magic Cooperation Bureau is similar to that between overseas merchants and customs.

Because the magical items sold by wizards are so difficult to guarantee—Sheen knows that Hufflepuff used to carry "nuclear bombs" around—the International Department of Magical Cooperation only officially allows international merchants to freely carry goods into and out of different countries.

That makes perfect sense.

After all, in the wizarding world, carrying several wands in a seamless extension bag might be considered a war crime.

"It's up to you, Suya... Though dull-witted, he's still quite diligent."

But before that, let Suya show you some other international businessmen. A few decent ones have come up to you like puppies smelling a bone.

Professor Terra said calmly.

Suya's neck was a little red.

The three of them were walking in a small garden, which was filled with magical loops that not only blocked out sound but also maintained a suitable temperature and humidity.

"They say you are at least on par with Nicolas Lemaître."

Sua said softly, her slightly trembling wrist indicating that she was not calm.

"Mr. Lemaître is the true master of alchemy."

Sheen said.

"You're too modest."

Suya said in a low voice.

Finally, they stopped in front of a sturdy door, inlaid with a magical creature encyclopedia and emerald-colored stone slabs, and decorated with brass door knockers.

Suya hesitated for a moment, then reached out and knocked on the door knocker before immediately backing away.

At the same time, the door burst open with a creak, sweeping the decorations in front of it aside.

The three wizards behind the door seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"Dear—"

A wizard suddenly fell silent. He sat up abruptly, took a few steps across to the fountain in the center of the garden, and excitedly grasped Sheen's hand.

"My student, dull-witted Mar."

Professor Terra offered his unsparing critique.

"Mr. Marr is an international businessman whom Aunt Terra is quite satisfied with. Although he is sometimes unbelievably shrewd, he is very passionate about alchemy."

He invested half of his income in alchemy experiments.

Suya added in a low voice.

Sheen looked at her with some surprise.

"Oh, please don't look at me like that. Although we are competitors, Aunt Tara has always told me that truth is truth and falsehood is falsehood. Fairness brings justice."

More importantly, I believe you will choose mine—

Suya seemed to be encouraging herself.

The opposing player, Mal, gave an embarrassed, self-deprecating laugh:

"Professor Terra, please preserve some dignity for me."

He almost pleaded, then turned his burning gaze to Sheehan.

Young...too young...

In the center of the fountain where the group was, there was a dolphin statue, sitting on an intricately carved white stone base, with a notch in its tail that pointed upwards.

Behind the fountain is a rose bush, which is particularly bright and beautiful. The flowers are all indigo blue, and some petals have a faint purple edge.

When you get close, you can smell the unique fragrance of roses, which is stronger than that of ordinary roses.

Behind the flower bushes, two other international businessmen approached Sheen.

"Dear Mr. Hermes—"

Latino witches have a capable and efficient demeanor.

"Aura, an international wizard-merchant in charge of the Vargadu trade."

Professor Terra's tone softened slightly.

"Aura, a rising genius alchemist in Vagado."

Of course, she is no match for you at all. Oh, by the way, I heard that she chose to become an international businesswoman after you attended the International Alchemy Congress.

Thanks to her fairly solid foundation in alchemy, her trade progressed relatively smoothly.

Suya said.

"Dear Senior Terra, and dear Mr. Hermes..."

Her eyes were fixed on the little wizard, without blinking.

If looks had warmth, Sheen would probably have melted by now.

The last one to approach was a chubby male wizard, who said shyly:

"Mr. Green, how's the Hogwarts menu lately?"

These words startled Sheen.

"Lilavita, the wizard in charge of Hogwarts' international trade."

He was responsible for procuring potion ingredients, magical equipment, food, and even handling the book exchange at Hogwarts Library.

Professor Terra said.

Sheen's eyes lit up; he had always had a little problem.
