"Your Excellency, don't be so cautious. The goblin said with a little dissatisfaction.
Kern didn't answer, and looked at him quietly.
"Alright, then let's get down to business, my name is Cathy, and I'd like to work with you on the Flying Robes. "
The goblin was a little helpless, and no longer cared, but introduced himself.
"Why should I work with you? "
Kern shook his head and asked rhetorically.
"This is a win-win situation, I can see that your output is not high, if you cooperate with us, you only need to authorize us to refine the method, and then just sit and collect money, it is definitely more than you make it yourself. "
Cathy spoke eloquently, his face full of confidence.
"No matter how high the production is, what does it do, five thousand Galleons is not something that anyone can ~ afford. "
Kern said with a blank face.
"No, no, no, this price is too high, there is a saying in the Muggle world, small profits are quick turnover, if you price five thousand Galleons, there are only so many people in the entire wizarding world who can afford it, and the Galleons you earn are very-limited. "
"But if you lower the price, the more people will be able to afford it, and the more you will earn - the more galleons you will make. "
When Cathy talks about making money, there is a gleam in his eyes, and they are good at this.
Kern naturally knows about small profits and quick turnover, but can this small profit and quick turnover really make more money? Unless the sales volume can reach an order of magnitude, let alone share the profits with others in this case.
"Even if I teach you the method, you can increase your yield? My flying robe is not easy to refine. "
Kern was a little suspicious, he himself knew the difficulty of refining the flying robe, and it would take him an hour.
"Rest assured, we are experts in this area, and we have studied your flying robes beforehand, and it is true that your work is excellent, but we have also probably worked on a copy of it. "
Kern's eyes narrowed suddenly, and with his flying robe, he directly launched a copy, Are you Hua Nabei?
Kern didn't believe it at all, it was a trust in his flying robe and anti-heavenly understanding.
Seeing Kern's slightly disdainful gaze, the goblin smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Of course, there are still a lot of flaws compared to your flying robes, but if you can hand over the refining plan to us, we can achieve a quality similar to your work, after all, we have a lot of goblins and dwarfs here." "
Dwarfs?
Kern immediately knew what the other party relied on, the dwarfs and the goblins were both "people" defined by the Ministry of Magic, and they had a unique talent for alchemy.
Kern's eyes flashed, and if they could really increase production, he was indeed a little tempted.
"And we can launch the Deluxe Edition and the Normal Edition, the Deluxe Edition and your work are of one quality, sold exclusively to pure-blood wizards, the regular version is a little less quality, but can sell more!"
Cathy continued, as if he had calculated everything before he came, and he believed that the other party would cooperate with him as long as he was not stupid.
"How much can you make in a day, and how much does the regular version cost?" asked Kern, pondering for a moment.
"In fact, our imitations are good enough, but the key technology is missing, and we speculate that producing fifty pieces a day is not too much of a problem, and as for our pricing, we are ready to fight with the broomstick, one thousand two hundred Galleons. "
Kern now believes that the other party is prepared, 1,200 Galleons, according to his current salary, he can afford it in less than a year, and he believes that those who want to buy it can still afford it by gritting their teeth.
Fifty a day... It's more than a thousand pieces a month, and even if he can only sell this month's amount, it's a lot of terrifying Galleons, which can make him worry-free for the rest of his life.
To tell the truth, he began to be tempted, and he also had the idea of talking deeply.
"How are profits distributed?"
Kern asks a crucial question.
"You only need to provide the refining method, we are responsible for all the rest, we are not only responsible for manufacturing, but also responsible for sales, but we are willing to give sincerity, eighty-two points. "
Cathy took care of everything, seemingly in charge, but in fact he wanted to weaken Kern's share.
"In fact, your business would not last without us, and we have friends in the Department of Magical Communications at the Ministry of Magic who have been concerned about your flying robes.
It's just that you only sell one in the market now, and the other two are in our hands, otherwise the Department of Magical Transportation may have intervened, you must know that the designated flying vehicle in the British magical world is the Broomstick, so the Department of Magical Transportation has a Broomstick Authority. "
Seeing that Kern was silent, Kathy said confidently.
"You can sell it instead?" Kern didn't believe it.
"We can push the Department of Magical Communications to allow us to sell flying robes for a few Galleons, which, of course, don't need to be paid by you as a sign of our sincerity. "
Kern was a little speechless, and for some reason, he wasn't surprised at all.
He began to ponder, considering Cathy's plan, and it seemed that this was indeed the only way to earn more Galleons.
"Eighty-two points is not good. "
After a moment of silence, Kern looked up and said.
Cathy suddenly smiled bitterly, but he was a little happy in his heart, knowing that he was close to half the success.
He immediately complained, "You don't know, we are a business consortium, and there are still many members who need to distribute profits, have you never seen how greedy those dwarfs are, and there are some wizard families, it is already our greatest sincerity to be able to take out 20% of the profits." "
"June Fourth. "
Kern ignored the other party, he still heard a little about the greed of the goblins, and he didn't think there was a truth in the other party's words.
A long tug followed, and even most of the wizards in the bar had finished their drinks and left, occasionally seeing the owner of the place betting on them, as if trying to drive them out and close the shop.
In the end, Kern and Kathy talked about the price of 3.5, and Kern handed over the technology and could get a 3.5 profit share, and Kern was still satisfied with this share.
"You're a tough wizard. Cathy said with a wry smile.
Kern took this as a compliment, and he crossed his hands and placed them on the table, his face extremely serious, and now there was only one crucial question left.
"How do I know that you won't cross the river and tear down the bridge, and you won't run away with our refining methods?"
Kern said in a cold voice with a serious face.
"If you want me to say, you don't drink a drop of wine, just go back, why stay here in the middle of the night. "
Cathy was about to say something when she was interrupted by a rough voice.
Both looked at the person who came, it was the barkeeper Aberforth Dumbledore, the younger brother of Professor Dumbledore.
Kern didn't say anything, and the goblin directly took out a sum of Galleons, which was more than a dozen pieces, and put it on the table.
"Give us a little more time. "
How many of these bars could they buy for their business, how could they be interrupted at this time.
Aberforth saw the shining Galleon, and smiled, the fool who didn't drink and only talked about things, earned so many Galleons for nothing, and unceremoniously put them away, not caring about their table.
"The credibility of our goblins has always been secured. Cathy said with a slight agitation after Aberforth left, as if angry that Kern had doubted their credibility.
Kern looked at Cathy like a fool, how stupid he had to be to hope for someone else's credibility.
Cashy was defeated in Kern's gaze before he said, "We can sign a magical contract, and if we break it, we will put a curse on me." "
Or we can find a witness for each other to witness our transaction. Cathy made another suggestion.
The magic contract is not safe, what if the goblin in front of him is treated as an outcast, after all, there is such a large amount of gold galleons involved.
As for the role of the witness, it is more about standing up and speaking after the other party has broken the contract, so this witness needs a person of high moral character, a person who disdains lying, a person who has someone to believe, and there is no doubt that this person can only be Dumbledore. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
But this is just an insurance, and the goblins are also very likely to turn their faces and deny the account, and there is still no insurance that can really restrain the other party.
Kern pondered, although it was a bit risky, it was still worth trying, after all, Dumbledore's prestige was enough to intimidate the elf community.
If even Dumbledore can't deter them, it's a big deal to figure out a way when the time comes.
"Yes. "
Kern agreed, and of course the magic contract had to be both. []
"Now, can you know your honorific name?" the goblin immediately asked, seeing that the cooperation had been preliminarily negotiated.
"Kern. "
"It turned out to be the new professor of magical innovation at Hogwarts. The goblin was a little surprised when he heard it, and their news was no more than closed, as far as he knew, this Professor Kern was just a squib, and he actually had such an alchemy talent.
"One more thing, we're also interested in recovering the magic crystal. "
They talked for a long time, and when they got back to the dormitory, Kern slept until noon.
"Ha~"
Kern yawned and walked towards the Great Hall, where many young wizards greeted him and looked at him differently than usual.
"Professor Kern. "
Before he could enter the auditorium, he was stopped by Professor McGonagall, who handed him a piece of paper.
"What is this?" Kern took it in confusion, and found that it was full of student names.
"Yesterday the content of your course was circulated, and many young wizards were very interested in coming to me to sign up, and the registration time was already closed, but there were quite a few students who signed up this time, so..."
Kern glanced at the list, and the number of students had roughly doubled, from nearly one hundred and twenty students in three classes to now double.
"So I'm wondering if I'm going to add another class?"
As soon as these words came out, Kern's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Professor McGonagall, I think it is enough for these students to be merged into the previous class, and there are eighty students in one class, and they can still teach. "
Just kidding, he didn't want to work two hours longer.
After talking to Professor McGonagall, Kern went into the auditorium to have lunch, and while eating, he thought about the events of yesterday night, as the so-called soldiers are fast, and they should make money a day earlier, and Cathy naturally had this idea, so the two sides decided to sign the contract tomorrow, which means that the Witnesses must be found today.
How to say it to Dumbledore, it can only be a bundle of interests, which is a real benefit, but the Witnesses are not partners, so they don't need to spend too much Galleons.
He has to think of a name to give Dumbledore a Galleon, maybe Dumbledore is not short of Galleons, and there is no need to accept his Galleons, then he can give this Galleon to Hogwarts, he knows that Hogwarts has always relied on the funding of the Ministry of Magic and the school director, and it has no profitability itself, and the money must be very tight.
Maybe he should talk to Professor McGonagall first, after all, Professor McGonagall, as the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, is in charge of practical affairs, and knowing that Garon is not easy to come by, it should be safer for her to invite Dumbledore to be his witness.
After eating, Kern went to Professor McGonagall's office, knocked on the door and entered, Professor McGonagall saw Kern and asked suspiciously, "Professor Kern, do you have anything to do with me?"
Kern didn't speak directly, but inquired from the side.
"Professor McGonagall, I would like to ask, what is the financial situation of the school?"
Professor McGonagall gave Kern a strange look, thinking that Kern was worried about his salary, and after calculating the time, Kern had been in school for almost a month, although it was a weekly salary system, but it was generally settled on a monthly basis for professors.
"Oh, Professor Kern, if you're short of money, you can tell me, and you're welcome, I'll pay your previous salary first. "
Kern suddenly cried and laughed, how good it would have been when he first came to Hogwarts, and now he had no shortage of these tens or hundreds of Galleons.
"Professor McGonagall, I didn't mean that, I was asking if Hogwarts was short of funds, and maybe I could help. "
Professor McGonagall's sense of Kern changed suddenly, but he didn't expect Kern, as an orphan with little money, to help the school with his meager salary.
Previously, Filch also said that Kern was very miserable in the Muggle world, so he brought him to Hogwarts, which was considered a kind of Hogwarts rescue for Squibs, so Kern was able to stay at Hogwarts.
"Thank you for your kindness, Professor Kern, but there is no need for this, the school still saves enough to maintain daily expenses, and your little salary is still well saved, and you can use it for love and marriage in the future. "
Professor McGonagall said earnestly that dedication to the school is not such a dedication.
"If you really want to do something for Hogwarts, you might as well take a few more lessons. "
"Ahem..."
Kern coughed violently when he heard this, and talked about the issue of overtime.
"Professor McGonagall, I have a little money left over now, almost five thousand Galleons, which I want to donate to the school, which can be used to support some poor students, and can also be used to renovate some teaching aids. "
Professor McGonagall looked at Kern incredulously, "Professor Kern, where did you get so much money?"
Kern then told Professor McGonagall about his sale of the Recovery Shard and the Flying Robes, focusing on the upcoming cooperation with the elves, which would cost hundreds of thousands of Galleons, and of course, casually talking about finding a Witness.
After listening to this, Professor McGonagall's mouth opened slightly, and she felt a little like listening to a story, and she was also a little surprised, hundreds of thousands of Galleons! That's probably the asset of an ancient pure-blood family, and Kern has been in contact with the wizarding world for less than a month, and he is about to accumulate such wealth, is this what Dumbledore said about the magic?
"Since Professor Kern has this in mind, then on behalf of Hogwarts, I would like to thank you for your sponsorship, in fact, Hogwarts has been strapped for funds. "
Professor McGonagall's serious face had a smile on her face at this moment, which was very difficult to see.
"But Professor Kern, I need to warn you, goblins are not easy to get along with, and although they are integrated into the wizarding world, wizards are always wary of them, they are far smarter than other creatures, and you should be cautious when you make deals with them. "
Professor McGonagall reminded Kern, who accepted it humbly.
"By the way, you can find Albus about the Witnesses, with him, the goblins don't dare to deceive you. "
Kern's heart was overjoyed, but there was a look of embarrassment on his face, "It's just... Wouldn't that be too much trouble for Professor Dumbledore?
"It's okay, I'll help you tell you, you're part of our Hogwarts after all, I think Albus will agree. "
Professor McGonagall immediately stood up and hurriedly led Kern to the Headmaster's office, after all, Kern's matter was about five thousand Galleons, and if Kern was deceived by the goblins, then Professor McGonagall would not be able to accept Kern's donation.
