Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

"...I don't understand why Mr. Malfoy raises so many questions about the relationship between me and my partner." Jody naturally had some assumptions about the relationship between the two, and he also repeatedly confirmed Lockhart's cooperation.

Only then did he return his wand to him.

It’s not troublesome to explain, but the trouble is that the more time you spend explaining these useless details, the less time you have to attract investors.

The charity sale is about to begin, and the guy hosting the auction is already setting up the stage.

It seems that it is too late to carry this MLM activity to the key investment stage.

Jody quickly adjusted his mentality. It was already too late to do the final thing, so he had to do his best with what he had at hand.

His calmness made everyone here think highly of him. After changing the topic, Jody began to talk in a humorous tone about how he supported Lockhart in some of his adventures and how he made small props for him. He also did the same.

It’s time to deepen the impression of his character in the minds of the bosses.

After discovering that the MLM was not completed in the end, Lockhart felt mixed. He didn't know whether he was relieved or disappointed, or maybe both.

The auction officially began, and Jody had to put away his set of drawing boards and screens.

Calmly finding his position and doing it well, Jody still looked confident, holding his head high and his back straight.

"Ricky, did we fail?" Lockhart was relatively unsettled. He leaned towards Jody and asked in a low voice.

Jodi glared at him, "Sit tight! The battle has just begun."

Being among a crowd of wealthy people, Jodi did not dare to use his spiritual consciousness segmentation technique excessively. However, he still retained some necessary attention to observe the movements of the people around him.

After the publicity was over, it was obvious that many people were frequently looking at me.

Among them, the one with the highest frequency belongs to a certain short blond Maomao.

The young and innocent little Draco was obviously very interested in the fancy cards in Jody's hand.

Little Draco's popularity in the novel is average, but after the movie came out, he attracted countless fans. At this time, the little Draco who appeared in front of Jodi seemed to be more noble than the image in the movie, maybe because of his clothes.

question.

It seems that the only thing missing between the young gentleman and his father is a cane that matches him.

There are many items in the charity sale, including some valuable paintings and some unique magic items with all kinds of strange functions.

It's not like Jody has never imagined that he could find something at an auction, or get an old ring with his grandfather's ring on it, or a broken pottery piece with a lost spell written on it.

Unfortunately, the embarrassment of not having a penny in his pocket prevented him from doing anything.

If this pyramid scheme failed, things might get a little troublesome. Fortunately, he still had Lockhart's wool to shear.

As the auction continued, Jodi could not help but feel a little irritable as he heard some unattainable large figures.

The waiting is excruciating, and whether it will succeed in the end depends on the results after the auction.

As the charity sale came to an end, many people began to leave.

Lockhart was dealing with a few of his fans, while Jody stayed where he was. The few people who came to say hello just exchanged a few words and left.

No one expressed interest in his investment plan, but Jody did take a lot of business cards.

Just when Jodi's sense of expectation was getting weaker and weaker, he was about to think that his plan had failed.

Lockhart came over with a look of surprise on his face.

"Quick! Jody. Someone big wants to talk to you about your cards!"

Jody looked puzzled and followed Lockhart through the hall and towards the garden.

A group of three people was already waiting there.

Draco Malfoy smiled happily when he saw Geordie appear.

The boy's smile allowed Jody to confirm a lot of information.

Lucius, is the purpose of your constant naysaying just to eliminate your competitors?

And those guys who leave in a hurry after leaving ambiguous smiles, were they also instructed by you?

Deliberately create a sense of loss that no one cares about in order to achieve better negotiation results?

Tsk, cunning locals!

"You should know the distinguished Mr. Lucius Malfoy." Mitiel, who was following Lucius, spoke first, reminding Jody who has the most noble status here.

"Of course, it's an honor for me to have the opportunity to listen to your teachings." Jody said a line that even made her feel sick.

"My question embarrasses you?" Lucius asked Jody condescendingly what he thought.

At this time, Jody no longer had much emotion about Lucius's previous offense. In his eyes, Lucius, who would call him here at such a moment, had become his big benefactor, a person who was open to him.

wallet

"No way, you only gave me the opportunity to explain those problems to everyone. In the final analysis, you gave me a chance."

Lucius was obviously satisfied with what he said. He nodded and finally brought the topic back to business.

"You know why I called you here, right?"

"I dare not make random guesses. I only know that the purpose of asking Lockhart to bring me to the dinner today is to promote our research. And since you are willing to give me the opportunity, I will work harder to introduce them to you."

"Hahaha! I like your character that is so focused on the goal. Where are you from?"

"When I was very young, my father brought me from the United States to settle here...in order to find my mother. She still has the influence of the vampire curse. My eyes are inherited from her. My father

My family is not a famous one, you probably have never heard of it." Jodi now made up a pure-blood identity.

When lying, some small details can make the content of the lie more believable, such as the bloodline of black magic creatures that Jodi is talking about now. In public understanding, people will never go out of their way to embarrass themselves.

In the perception of purebloods, mixed-bloods of special races are much better than mudbloods born from Muggles.

Lucius was obviously more satisfied, "Tell me more about your research. Forgive me for being harsh. After all, I can't just invest my precious energy without knowing anything."

At this moment, Jodi's brain was constantly working to analyze what Lucius needed. Now that he had called himself in front of him, his investment intentions were very obvious.

The only thing left was the final kick, and he couldn't make a mistake.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lockhart, who was accompanying him. Jody came to some realizations. He seemed to have guessed Lucius's purpose.

Perhaps it is true, as Lockhart said, that the Malfoy family paid a very high price in order to seize power at Hogwarts and consolidate the pure-blood party's influence on the Ministry of Magic.

Wealth is only part of the equation.

Regardless of whether the Malfoy family was originally in financial crisis, the loss of a large amount of money must have made them feel panicked.

So Qiaodi needs to focus on deceiving... no, focusing on promoting the product features. Naturally, it is its high return and short revenue cycle.

After figuring out the key, Jody quickly passed through the part about card technology. He changed the topic to marketing and had a great talk with Malfoy.

During the chat, there was nothing that Jodi could not understand about the topic platform that was completely prepared for Lucius. Lucius could easily join the conversation and make suggestions for Jodi's marketing plan.

The scene that Jodi described for him at the beginning was very grand. His target market was defined as everyone in the entire magical society. For this, he needed a lot of investment and the approval of a lot of people.

After Jodi's compliments, Lucius did not deny the influence Jodi said about him. In his complacency, Mr. Lucius confirmed that he could bring more influence to this investment plan.

Jody told him through little tricks in his words that Mr. Malfoy would be an indispensable presence in his plan.

The topic had reached this point, and it was already difficult for Lucius to resist his desire to give it a try.
