Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

#754 - Gold Mine (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

No one expected that during a seemingly ordinary new product launch, Anduin would be able to invite the German Minister of Magic to personally endorse Silver Flash Commerce.

At the same time, with the strong recommendations from Andre, Fudge, and Moody, everyone was completely convinced of the powerful functions of the Magic Communicator.

Anyway, after Anduin finished his conversation with Andre, most of the wizards present were asking how to buy it.

"Everyone!" Anduin was quite satisfied with the scene, and then struck while the iron was hot, "I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the communicator's capabilities, but what I just introduced to you is only its most basic communication function."

"The most basic function?"

"Does this communicator have other uses besides talking?"

Anduin's words immediately aroused everyone's curiosity. In their eyes, an alchemy item that could be bought for 7 Galleons was already very powerful with the functions just demonstrated. What more could they want for such a cheap price?

"That's right." Anduin nodded, "Or it can be said that the magic network system jointly built by Silver Flash Commerce and the Ministry of Magic is not only limited to communication."

"First of all, I want to introduce to you the emergency alarm system!"

"Alarm system?"

"That's right, for the prosperity and stability of the British wizarding world, and to create a comfortable and safe living environment for everyone, Minister Fudge suggested to me at the beginning of the establishment of the magic network system to build an alarm platform with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."

Anduin generously gave the credit to Fudge, making the plump minister beam with joy.

"Wizards who have a communicator, no matter what danger they encounter within the coverage of the magic network, whether it is an attack by a dark wizard or a high-risk magical creature, injury, sudden illness, or other serious situations, or even minor troubles such as encountering a thief, can directly contact the Ministry of Magic by calling the help hotline."

"At that time, the Aurors or relevant personnel from the Ministry of Magic will promptly dispatch to solve the difficulties for everyone and prevent tragedies caused by untimely rescue," Anduin explained in a concise tone.

"I see."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. This function was indeed very useful to them. After all, who could guarantee that they would not encounter an accident?

Especially these wizards, who like to tinker with magic at home when they have nothing to do. Once a casting error occurs, the consequences are often very serious.

At the same time, with the alarm service, some people who love adventure and research dare to go deeper into remote areas.

If there had been such a tool during the Wizarding War, many wizards sighed slightly in their hearts. Many wizards they once knew had died in that dark era because they could not get support or did not know how to seek support.

Thinking of this, someone took the lead, and a burst of applause rang out from the scene, spreading from a few sporadic claps to a boiling applause.

Fudge couldn't hold back the smile on his face when he saw this scene. At the same time, infected by the atmosphere, he couldn't help but straighten his chest, showing the majesty of the Minister of Magic.

After a moment, Anduin raised his hand and pressed down to restore calm to the scene, and continued, "Everyone, you should have already seen that whether it is simple communication or the alarm system, it is based on the magic network, and the magic network can do more than that."

"Next, I want to introduce the 'Magic Projector' and 'Magic Recorder'!" After saying that, Anduin took out a fist-sized spherical object and an item similar to a miniature camera to show to everyone.

"These two items are the source of the films that everyone has watched before. The 'Magic Recorder' is used to record and save images, and then the 'Magic Projector' can be used to play them."

"They are somewhat similar to the magic cameras and magic photos we used to use in the past, but they save more complete content."

Anduin used the recorder to shoot a scene on the spot, and then played it with the projector, demonstrating it to everyone on the spot.

Both the recorder and the projector, like the communicator, have their own different shapes and models, which can meet the needs of families to media organizations.

Of course, the price of these two devices is not as cheap as the communicator. The price of the recorder ranges from 200 to 800 Galleons, which is considered a relatively luxurious item.

In comparison, the projector is much cheaper, with sales prices ranging from 30 to 200 Galleons depending on the needs. Most wizarding families can afford ordinary models of projectors.

For the audience watching the scene, these two props are much easier to understand than the communicator, after all, they had just watched a public trial film.

However, for most people, their demand for these two props is not high, mainly because the price is too high.

Although the projector seems to be very cheap, the recorder is expensive.

What's the use of them just buying a projector without recorded films? Isn't this just a decoration?

At the same time, a trace of doubt arose in everyone's mind. Didn't Anduin say before that these two props are also related to the magic network? But it seems that the two are not related.

But soon Anduin answered everyone's doubts.

"In addition, Silver Flash Commerce has also jointly established a magic broadcasting company with Wizard Wireless, which will develop various entertainment programs for everyone, and will also transplant a series of radio programs to the broadcasting company, including the well-known 'Magic Time', 'Toots Sprout Show', 'Wizard Radio News Network', etc."

"And these programs can be received by the magic projector through the magic network. As long as you pay 2 Sickles a month to Silver Flash Commerce or the broadcasting company, you can watch the corresponding programs."

"At the same time, the magic broadcasting company can also be opened to other media, such as the 'Daily Prophet'. You can choose to produce your own programs and put them in, and even officially purchased recorders can be broadcast live after obtaining permission!"

Anduin's words immediately aroused everyone's interest.

Their previous channels for entertainment and receiving news could only be through magic radio or newspapers. According to Anduin, in the future, they will be able to directly watch video programs broadcast by major media on the projector.

Those audio programs that could only be heard on the radio in the past have become programs with specific pictures, which is a huge improvement!

Thinking of this, many media workers at the scene had many associations in their minds.

At first, when they heard Anduin's introduction, they felt that this might have a considerable impact on their paper media business, but if this new broadcasting company could allow them to enter, it might not be a bad thing.

At the same time, many wizards also saw business opportunities from it. If this kind of magic broadcasting can become the norm like radio, can they also put advertisements on it?

When Harry and the others heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, because they were no strangers to the live broadcast that Anduin said. The Hogwarts dungeon was a long-term live broadcast program.

"Do you think the live broadcast the professor is talking about is prepared for those dungeons?" Hermione's mind was quick, and she quickly thought of this.

"Very likely!" Ron said excitedly in a low voice, "Didn't the professor say before? Those dungeons will be put on the market in the future. What we are experiencing now may be what will happen in the wizarding world in the future."

"It seems that the professor is playing a big game." Harry nodded after thinking for a moment, "With the attractiveness of those dungeons, I dare to guarantee that no one can resist its temptation. Maybe the images of those people playing the dungeons will be made into separate programs!"

Several young wizards whispered excitedly, while the other onlookers were even more excited and discussed loudly. The information they received today was surprisingly large. No wonder Minister Fudge said they were witnessing history!

"Everyone!"

Seeing that everyone was so interested, Anduin immediately threw out another good news, "Yesterday I promised to prepare a mysterious gift for the friends who participated in the public trial, and this thank you gift is the basic magic communicator!"

"At the same time, all the wizards present today will be able to obtain a copy of the public trial video, and everyone can enjoy it slowly after returning!"

"And the next time will be returned to you. You can try out the new products in the exhibition area behind the venue, and also support on-site purchases. I wish you all a good time today!"

After Anduin finished speaking, he slowly walked off the stage. In fact, he did not introduce all the functions of the magic network to everyone today, such as the online entertainment platform, the online shopping platform, etc., which were not mentioned at all.

But he did not intend to launch these functions so quickly. On the one hand, he has not completed the acquisition of owl post offices in various countries, and on the other hand, because he understands the benefits of gradual progress.

Looking at the reactions of these wizards today, most of them will definitely buy a magic communicator, but it should be the basic model.

After locking in these customer groups, it will be time for Anduin to highlight new features, but the communicators that can be used to play new features will definitely not be these basic models.

Then those wizards who bought the ordinary models will have to buy a new communicator again, which is equivalent to him being able to sell twice as many communicators for this. Isn't this better than launching it all at once?

On the other side, the crowd at the scene who had heard two good news in a row was once again ignited with enthusiasm, especially those wizards who had participated in the trial, who cheered happily.

The rest were pondering in their hearts whether to buy a magic projector back on the spot, after all, they had obtained a public trial video that they were very interested in, and they would always feel itchy if they didn't watch it.

As for the communicator, as Anduin expected, almost all the audience at the scene decided to add one for themselves, after all, the price was not too expensive.

Before long, thousands of wizards lined up outside the exhibition area, and everyone couldn't wait to get their own communicator as soon as possible.

The popularity of the exhibition area made Harry and the other young wizards rush over to help.

Seeing this scene, Fudge couldn't help but smile, and then he couldn't help but leaned close to Anduin, "It seems that the effect of this press conference is very good. How many new products do you think you can sell today, and how many gold Galleons can you receive?"

"Depending on the situation, it is estimated that there will be 30,000 to 40,000 Galleons, and the sales of magic projectors should also be good," Anduin said after a slight calculation in his mind.

"30,000 to 40,000 Galleons? A day? Merlin's beard, this is too scary!" Fudge was obviously frightened by this number, and at the same time, the smile on his face became more and more brilliant. The more income Silver Flash Commerce has, the more income their Ministry of Magic will have.

"Heh... this is just a small part. There is not much profit in selling these devices, especially the communicator. We basically sell it at cost price."

Anduin shook his head indifferently, and then took out a few documents from his body and said, "This is the real source of profit after the establishment of the magic network. As soon as the press conference ended, the director of the 'Daily Prophet' contacted me, presumably someone reported the news in advance during the meeting."

"They said that they are willing to pay a fee of 10,000 Galleons a year to open a radio station exclusively for the 'Daily Prophet' in the magic broadcasting company."

"In addition, there are several other media, and even the Quidditch Professional League, who are preparing to open independent radio stations or produce programs in the broadcasting company. It seems that their vision is not bad."

"Good heavens! Is this broadcasting station so profitable?"

Fudge opened his mouth wide in a daze. He was still complacent about the sales just now. Who would have thought that Anduin would bring him an even bigger surprise. If this deal is reached, it means that tens of thousands of Galleons of income can be generated out of thin air every year.

"Did you sign a contract with them so quickly? What is the total amount?" Fudge asked impatiently after sighing.

Seeing Fudge so anxious, Anduin couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "I rejected them all."

"Ah? Why is that?" Fudge's heart shrank from Anduin's words, and his expression was even more nervous than when facing Voldemort.

"Why? Naturally, the price was not negotiated. They actually wanted to sign a 5-year contract at the current price. How could it be so easy?" Anduin smiled and patted Fudge on the shoulder, "Don't underestimate our magic network. This is a gold mine with unlimited potential!"

"After the magic broadcasting station is gradually promoted, the subsequent advertising revenue and promotion revenue will continue to pour in. How can we only earn tens of thousands of Galleons?"

Fudge couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile when he heard Anduin call tens of thousands of Galleons small money. He didn't know if the other party was crazy, or if his pattern was too small.

Anduin calmly said, "I plan to sign a one-year contract with them first, and then increase the contract fee according to the benefits. I expect that in less than three years, the benefits that magic advertising will bring us will not be less than 100,000 Galleons, so you have to pay attention to me. They definitely want to dredge up the relationship from you, so don't let go easily!"

After saying that, Anduin gave Fudge a warning look. He didn't want the other party to hold him back.
