Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 1747 A war without a winner (one hundred and ninety-seven)

"Ron is getting along with Lavender again?"

Several days had passed since we separated from Ron in the coffee shop. One day, Albert learned the good news while chatting with George.

It was not difficult for him to guess the reason, but he still raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

"I remember I heard you say that Ron and Lavender were having a bad time last time."

"I have never said such things. It was all said by Fred. That guy likes to talk about other people's gossip." George winked at Albert.

"I've only gossiped a few times, so don't blame me for everything." Fred poked his head out from the other side of the cabinet and complained that George was blaming himself again.

"More than a few times."

"What a wonderful world this is!" Albert muttered.

"I don't know much." George turned to Fred and said, "Tell me what you know!"

"I heard that the idiot Ron didn't want to accept the truth, so he went to ask Hermione to meet. As a result... he was probably severely rejected by Hermione. Anyway, he was very stimulated!"

"You can't force a relationship." George muttered, "However, I think Ron is lucky to be with Lavender. It's not easy to find a suitable one."

"How are you and Katie?" Fred also wanted to gossip about his twin brother.

"Have you ever..."

"Yes, I have, and the relationship is very stable." George interrupted before Fred could ask, "Katie is a smart girl and knows what she wants. Anyway, she is more economical than your Angelina. More heart."

"It feels the same!"

"It's the same."

"Women are just as troubled."

George rolled his eyes at Fred and hummed: "If you don't get rid of Angelina as soon as possible, you will suffer a lot later."

"Don't worry, I will take care of her!"

Fred was more worried that Angelina would go to extremes, so he asked his friends for help, but Albert's answer was a bit intriguing.

This directly led to Fred having been hesitant to let Angelina get pregnant in the near future.

If Angelina still refuses to give up due to retirement, Fred will be in big trouble next.

"How's the communication bookmark going?"

Albert took the initiative to end the topic and asked him the main reason why he came to "Fun House" to find the Weasley twins.

"It was a success."

Fred took the "communication bookmark" he made and handed it to Albert for inspection.

"Very reluctantly."

After Albert looked at the communication bookmark in his hand, he shook his head and said, "It can only be regarded as a semi-finished product."

In fact, Albert had already expected that the "communication bookmark" made by Fred would have a shorter service life.

In fact, not only communication bookmarks, but also many magic props can only be regarded as semi-finished products in Albert's opinion.

Some are due to the manufacturing method, and some are due to the fact that the Weasley twins' magical attainments are not high enough. Anyway, for many reasons, the communication bookmarks made can be used normally for a short time.

To a certain extent, this is actually a good thing, otherwise who would spend money to buy it, but if you want to sell the "communication bookmark" at a high price, the service life must be more than one year.

"You need to put more thought into it, especially George. Your talent in the field of transformation is relatively..."

"You really want to leave everything to me and Fred?" George interrupted with a low beep.

"Who will do it if you don't do it? If I have to do everything, this store will have to do it sooner or later." Albert glared at George and continued, "If that doesn't work, just spend money to hire a reliable guy who is good at transformation magic. "

"Is it necessary to do it so well? I feel like it's enough now. It's too good. If the magic doesn't work, how can we make money?" Fred did not hide his nature as a profiteer.

"You can definitely raise the price." Albert said without thinking.

"Then no one will buy it. The higher the price, the harder it will be to sell it." George reminded.

"If the magic fails easily, you won't actually earn any Galleons. Even if you sell a lot, you will only earn a hard fee." Albert talked to the twins about his plans and communication in a leisurely manner. Final price for bookmarks:

A set of ten galleons.

"Sure enough, you are still a black-hearted guy." George muttered.

With Fred's manufacturing level, it would never be sold at this price.

"You don't understand. The communication bookmark will definitely be very popular with everyone. This is a money tree." Albert no longer concealed it and said directly.

Fred and George suddenly became serious, and the latter even closed the store door.

"Although communication bookmarks do have certain thresholds, they absolutely cannot stop others from imitating them. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a reputation from the beginning and let everyone know that genuine products are the most reliable and guaranteed."

"The most important thing is that the conflict between wizards and goblins is inevitable. The Ministry of Magic will need this thing by then. Well, I have actually received an order from Kingsley." Albert took out a The letter was handed to George and said: "You should all know the profits contained in it."

"As expected of you!"

Fred and George suddenly understood why Albert began to release communication bookmark technology.

It turns out that he planned to make a lot of money from this from the beginning!

If the transaction partner is the Ministry of Magic, there will definitely be requirements for the quality of the communication bookmarks.

This is not difficult to understand.

If it is too bad, it will be difficult to get orders so easily in the future.

Moreover, even after the conflict with the goblins is over, the Ministry of Magic will most likely still order a small number of communication bookmarks as a communication tool, which is a stable income.

What's more, when the technology of communication bookmarks is fully mature, it can even replace the way of sending letters by owls to a certain extent. Albert believes that many parents with children studying at Hogwarts will not refuse to buy a set of communication bookmarks for their children, just like parents gave their children who went to school outside their homes mobile phones in the previous life.

"You are worthy of it!"

George simply glanced at the contents of the notes and had a clear follow-up idea.

"You can launch a couple's version first." Albert continued, "I believe many couples in Hogwarts will be willing to pay Galleons."

"What should I do with the orders from the Ministry of Magic?" George had already read Albert's letter.

"That's not urgent."

"Come on, if you're not, then we are!" George said unhappily, "I think the third goblin rebellion will start when you leave England."

"I'll finish it with you by then, so don't worry, we still have several months."
