Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"Is this what you want me to see?"

In the shack outside the burrow, Anduin looked at a classic Ford Anglia that Arthur showed him, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Not bad!" Arthur introduced to Anduin enthusiastically, "This is a magic car that I personally modified. Even though its appearance is old, the talismans installed inside were all made by me and Randolph Bar.

Demo asked for it."

"Randolph Badmore?" Anduin nodded clearly, "I remember that he was recently developing a new type of broomstick that was intended to break through the limits. It seemed to be called the Firebolt. He also learned from me before.

This patented the 'Wilson's Levitation Curse'."

Arthur nodded again and again, "Yes, yes! The car also has that charm, as well as the top-notch 'acceleration charm', 'braking charm', 'shock-absorbing charm' and 'deceleration charm'."

"This allows it to drive at high speeds on normal roads and in the air, and ensures stability and driving experience. In addition, I also added invisibility and shielding functional charms to the body to avoid being accidentally discovered by Muggles."

"sounds good."

Anduin didn't expect Arthur to have this ability. He used to think that the other party was just more interested in Muggle items. Although Molly always complained to him that Arthur was tinkering with Muggle items, he never took it seriously.

thing.

After all, delving into spells and alchemy consumes a lot of energy. Although making large alchemical items is simpler than small and miniature props, it cannot be completed just by being interested.

It is obvious that Arthur has invested a lot of time and energy in his interest. He actually built a car by himself through hard work, and the functions are not weak.

"Really? Haha, I usually take the time to fiddle around and come up with it randomly."

Arthur scratched his head modestly, obviously being recognized by Anduin, the alchemist master, which made him very proud.

The truth is naturally not as simple as what he said. In order to tinker with this car, Arthur went through a lot of trouble. Not only did he teach himself spells, he also found many scholars to consult specifically. Unfortunately, Anduin was usually too busy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have to go through so many detours.

"You don't have to be humble. I can see that you must have put a lot of effort into this car." Anduin affirmed, "How about it? Have you ever considered mass-producing this magical car?"

"Mass production?" Arthur was slightly startled when he heard this, "Are you talking about developing it into an alchemy product and selling it in Silver Flash Trading Company?"

Arthur really hadn't thought about this. He mainly wanted to share his work with Anduin today, and he was quite satisfied to get the other party's approval.

"Yes, I can see that this kind of magic car should have great market prospects. The ordinary flying broomstick itself has many limitations. For example, it can only be ridden by one person and cannot carry passengers. Moreover, you have to face the wind and rain alone when driving.

The driving experience is not that good either.”

To be honest, Anduin was really surprised by Arthur's magic car. This comfortable vehicle was much more comfortable than a broomstick or a flying carpet. He often used a spaceship to travel because he didn't like riding a broomstick.

"But is this appropriate? The target of the magic car is too big. Once those shielding charms malfunction, it will be easily noticed by Muggles, and this will not infringe the Misuse of Muggle Articles Act."

Arthur frowned worriedly, "I have caused dissatisfaction among many people by changing the law to allow many products in Silver Flash Trading Company to circumvent the Misuse of Muggle Items Act. They will not allow alchemy like magic cars.

Items appear on the market, especially those from broomstick manufacturing companies!"

Over the years, Arthur has opened a lot of backdoors to Silver Flash Trading Company through his position, so many products that are suspected of violating the law can be put on the market normally. This is one of the reasons why Anduin made Arthur a shareholder.

But the reason why this small move can be executed so smoothly is because the alchemy products of Yinshan Trading Company basically did not affect the interests of other British business groups, so they did not receive much opposition. Of course, this mainly depends on the fact that in addition to Feitian, the British

There are no other magic items companies other than Broom Makers.

But the magic car is different. It is positioned as a vehicle, which has affected the status of broomsticks. In order to protect the local broomstick industry, the Ministry of Magic has spent a lot of money.

For example, the most famous "Flying Carpet Ban Ordinance" directly controls flying carpets across the board, so no one can see flying carpets being used in the UK.

The reason given by the Ministry of Magic is that flying carpets are not safe enough. This is pure nonsense. Many more people are injured every year due to improper flying broomsticks than flying carpets.

In the final analysis, it is because broomsticks are the pillar industry of the local industry, and obstacles must be cleared for it. If the magic car is put on the table, it will definitely be suppressed by the broomstick manufacturers. The most advantageous weapon at that time is the "Prohibition of Abuse"

Muggle Articles Act".

Anduin naturally understands this truth, and he has to be careful to advance the copies he produces in order to compete for the Quidditch market, let alone directly produce competing products of flying broomsticks.

However, he still said decisively, "There is no way to solve this problem. Since the magic car will affect the broomstick market, let's bring them all in and cooperate together."

"cooperate?"

"That's right." Anduin nodded, "I can take the lead and invite the leading broomstick manufacturers, Sideswipe, Nimbus, Cosmos, Comet and Thunderbolt, to jointly open a magic car manufacturing company and let them all hold a part of the shares.

.”

"This way, even if the magic car affects the market share of broomsticks, their actual revenue and profits will not be reduced."

"But if they don't agree, there are a lot of details that need to be debated. How many shares each company holds, and whether it has the right to influence the company's decision-making. Just solving these problems will take a lot of energy!"

After so many years of cooperation, Arthur is no longer the business novice he used to be. He is now able to think about issues from the perspective of a partner.

"We can't tolerate them not agreeing." Anduin looked stern and said with a sneer, "We can't just open a similar company in the UK and make me angry. I can go to Germany to start the magic car industry."

"With Silver Flash Trading Company's business channels in the global wizarding world, and the large amount of money spent to promote several activities such as racing, I will be sure to squeeze broomsticks out of the European market within three years."

"Hmph!" Anduin smiled coldly, "Let them enjoy themselves in this small place in England then."

"But if that happens, it will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Ministry of Magic, and even completely change its attitude. At that time, it may also affect the industry of Silver Flash Trading Company. There is no need to offend both parties because of a product."

Arthur looked at Anduin very worriedly. If he had known this, he would not have shown the magic car to him.

"So the best result is cooperation. As long as the joint company can be opened, it will naturally be good for you and me, but everyone must be firm when operating."

Anduin gave Arthur a firm look, "Don't worry, I will take care of everything. And this is not something that will be done immediately. We have to solve the technical problems first."

After that, he looked at the classic car again, "When you get back from France, give it to me to study and improve it. At least make it less like a Muggle item, just like what we did before.

"

"Then we also need to conduct some tests on the magic car. This piece can be placed in the replica world I am currently working on."

"In addition, the magic communication system also takes more time. Once the influence of the magic network gradually penetrates into all aspects of wizards' lives, no one can touch the Silver Flash Trading Company."

"By then we will be negotiating with those manufacturers, and we will be able to take the initiative in our hands."

It only took a few minutes for Anduin to plan everything in his mind, which made Arthur on the side stunned.

"Sure enough, you are better at doing business. I didn't expect that a toy I made casually would have such great prospects." Arthur sighed with his hands on his hips, and then he couldn't help but admire his work.

At this time, outside the shack, the Weasley brothers and Harry were eavesdropping on the conversation between Anduin and Arthur.

However, they were not interested in the so-called products or companies. They only knew that Arthur and Anduin seemed to be very optimistic about the magic car, so they couldn't help but focus on that car.

"What are you guys doing?"

Just as the boys were enjoying their peeping, Ginny's voice suddenly came to their ears. Looking at the frightened little Hogg she was holding in her arms, it was obvious that this guy couldn't escape her clutches in the end.

.

"No...it's nothing." Several people were startled by Ginny, and Ron even stuttered and said perfunctorily, "Why did you come to the yard? Ginny, that one in your arms...is Hogg?"

"

"I can go wherever I want, do you care?" Ginny rolled her eyes at Ron, and then couldn't help but glance at Harry next to her, "You are the Boy Who Lived, Harry

·Potter? We met at the station at the beginning of last school year, do you remember?"

"Well, how could I forget this?" Harry responded with a smile, and then like the other Weasleys, they couldn't help but focus on Hogg in Ginny's hand. This was the first time they had seen it.

This bastard is exhausted.

"You don't look like there's anything special about you." Ginny looked at Harry up and down, then curled her lips in disinterest.

She had grown up listening to Harry's stories, and she used to admire this legendary boy.

But it is a pity that Ginny's godfather Anduin is much more legendary than Harry. He has lived with each other since childhood, and his ears are almost full of stories about Anduin's adventures told by Hogg and Shalltear.

After listening to something too much, you will develop an immunity. Coupled with the pampered life, Ginny later had no reaction to the story of the Boy-Who-Lived. However, she was always very interested in Harry.

Looking at it now, it seems that the other person is no different from other young wizards, except that he has an extra scar on his forehead.

Facing Ginny's questioning, Harry didn't feel anything at all. He had never thought that he was special than others.

Ron, on the other hand, saw that his good brother was looked down upon by his sister, and immediately refused, "Don't underestimate Harry, he is very strong, and his intelligence is the best in his grade."

"Intelligence? What is that? Does Hogwarts still depend on IQ?" Ginny could only enroll after the summer vacation, so she didn't understand the magic of the Silver Flash Talisman.

Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that the brothers refused to show her their own attributes. Who asked this girl to protect the alchemy tools in her hands like treasures and not even allow her to touch them.

"I don't know. It will become clear when you go to school this year." Ron raised his chin proudly, and then pulled Harry and the twins out of the shed.

Not getting any advantage from her brother made Ginny pout in displeasure, and then she pinched Hogg's hand harder. But poor Hogg, now he only hoped that someone could save him.

After a while, Augusta and Neville also arrived at the Burrow before lunch, and with Neville joining in, the group of children soon got into trouble together.

In the afternoon, Anduin and Arthur were still nesting in the shed studying the magic car, while the three Weasley brothers and Ginny took Harry and Neville to visit the Burrow. Soon the time was up

night.

After the three families had dinner together, it was time for Anduin and others to set off.

Only then did Harry understand why Uncle Wilson chose to travel at night.

I saw Anduin leading Hogg, Shalltear, Harry, Neville and Ginny to the open space outside the Burrow, and then took out a transparent glass bottle from his body.

At this moment, a miniature sailboat was lying quietly inside the glass bottle. It looked like the Leona that Harry and others had seen.

Immediately afterwards, Anduin threw the bottle into the open space in front of him, and everyone saw that the sailboat in the bottle began to expand, and after a while, it broke the bottle and grew to its original size.

"Let's go. Leona is too conspicuous during the day. Even if she is covered with a shielding spell, she will easily attract attention. Let's set off at night. When everyone wakes up, we will arrive in France." Anduin smiled and waved to everyone.

He waved and then walked up first.

"I didn't expect we could take a boat on this trip. I've long wanted to try walking through the sea of ​​clouds." Ginny hugged Hogg and followed excitedly, which made the brothers behind her jealous.

.

Harry and Neville did not hesitate when they saw this, and followed Anduin's footsteps onto the ship. However, Harry was a little confused. Uncle Wilson's Any Door was so convenient, why did he have to fly to France?

Can't you just open the door and go through?
