Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

"A newspaper!" exclaimed George.

Fred asked, "Doesn't your family have a stake in the Daily Prophet? Why do you want to run another newspaper?"

"To be precise, what I want to run should be the bimonthly magazine attached to the Daily Prophet." Clark emphasized.

"We are not yet able to apply for the publication number of the Department of Magical Publications and Publishing of the British Ministry of Magic, so we can only rely on the name of the "Daily Prophet".

Otherwise, you can only entertain yourself in school, or publish underground publications like the magazines you like to read. "

"What are you talking about? We usually read serious publications!" The twin brothers denied it almost in unison.

Hermione looked at them with a confused face. As a little witch from a Muggle family, she didn't know what these people were talking about.

So she directly ignored the meaning of the three boys' words, and asked:

"Clark, have you ever thought about it, since there is already a copy of the "Daily Prophet", why would others pay an extra fee to subscribe to your newspaper?

Besides, we are still students, and we are too busy with homework every day. No matter whether it is time and energy, it is not enough to support us to run this newspaper. "

George and Fred also nodded, "That's right, we can't do this. You said it's okay to ask us to do business and sell things, but let us write articles. Please forgive us."

Seeing their embarrassment, Clark laughed loudly, "No, where did you get the confidence to think that we could run a newspaper with just a few of us."

When the twin brothers and Hermione heard this, their faces collapsed.

Clark accepted it as soon as he saw it, "Just kidding, don't be so nervous, I will answer your questions one by one."

"First of all, the positioning of this newspaper is to focus on all kinds of interesting things inside and outside the Hogwarts campus. I even thought of the name, and it is called "Hogwarts School Journal".

Simple and straightforward, it is different from the "Daily Prophet" which focuses on news about the British magical world.

The audience is also very clear, first of all the students and staff in the school, and then the parents of these students. In addition, there are still many adult wizards who graduated from Hogwarts in the British wizarding world, and they must also miss the campus life very much.

With these potential readers, believe me, we'll be successful, at least not much worse than the Daily Prophet. "

George nodded subconsciously,

"That's right, if you put it that way, there must be thousands of students and their parents."

Fred scratched his fingers and began to count, "One newspaper is 5 nats, 1,000 copies is 5,000 nats, and 5,000 copies is... How many galleons is 5,000 newspapers?"

"About 50 Galleons," Clark replied.

"That's quite a lot!" Fred sighed,

Clark held out his index finger and shook it.

"It can't be counted like this. As Hermione said, as students, our main task is to study, and running a newspaper is just a kind of adjustment activity between our classes, so I set this "Hogwarts School Magazine" as a bimonthly magazine. , issued every two weeks.

In this way, we can have enough time and energy to collect the content materials of newspapers and periodicals, and the price of each copy can also be set a little higher.

Moreover, since this newspaper is affiliated with the "Daily Prophet", complex tasks such as editing, typesetting, reviewing, and developing magic photos are naturally completed by employees arranged by the newspaper. "

Clark speaks clearly, and has considered all aspects of the problem. It can be seen that it has been planned for a long time.

Hermione pondered for a while, and after careful analysis, she had to admit that this matter was very interesting.

But she still subconsciously said, "Since you have made all the arrangements and people from the newspaper office are helping, why do you call us here? Do you want to show off to us?"

As soon as the words came out, she regretted it. In fact, she still wanted to participate in this matter. It didn't matter whether she made money or not, the main thing was to be able to work with Clark.

Fortunately, Clark knew that she was playing a small temper for the joke just now, so he didn't care, and explained with a smile.

"Those employees in the newspaper office are only helping us temporarily for a while, and when everything is on the right track, we still have to replace them with our own people.

After all, I, Clark, do things and try to do my best, but I don't want to depend on others forever. "

He turned to look at Fred and George, and continued, "I called you two here because of the magic card."

"I've thought about it, if the magic cards are sold directly, it will be a big problem to popularize the playing methods of the cards.

If you rely on you to teach people to play, it can only spread in a small area in a short time.

But with the "Hogwarts School Magazine", we can open up an entertainment game section in the school magazine, introduce the content and gameplay of magic cards in detail, and achieve large-scale dissemination and teaching.

Not only that, I also have a plan to set up an activity to order newspapers and give cards. "

"No!" Before Clark finished speaking, the twin brothers denied: "You said it yourself, a set of magic cards has 1 gold galleon, and the newspaper is only how much. If you order a newspaper, you will get a card. That is not a loss." Is it? Besides, you have finished ordering, who else will buy cards?"

Clark hurriedly reassured them, "When I said to give away cards, I meant to give away one card, not a pair."

"Then..." The two brothers knew that they were impatient, "That's a huge expense."

"Don't worry, I won't lose you," Clark scolded, "You have to be generous in doing business, and you can't search for it. If you don't invest, where will you get the reward?"

"Listen to what I've said first. The card subscription event I'm talking about is for users to subscribe to the "Hogwarts School Journal" for three years at a time. Then, for the first five issues, two magic cards will be given along with the school magazine.

Think about it, some of the subscriptions of students and parents are repeated, especially during holidays, they only need to subscribe one copy, so that one-time subscription for three years will increase income virtually.

Besides, the money collected in advance for these three years is a large amount of money. With this money, we can use it for other things, do more promotional activities, and develop the school magazine faster.

As for the ten magic cards given away, although they are considered costs, there are forty cards in a game. If they don't want to waste them, they can only spend money to make up for the remaining thirty cards. Promoted card sales.

And we can also use the method of random gifting. Each faction will give away a few cards. In this way, if two camps and four races want to get all of them together, they will have to buy four decks of cards. "

"Ah~~" George and Fred showed serious expressions on their faces, "Listen to what you have to say, you will change your outlook on life!"
