The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 422: The Weasley Brothers' Black Workshop (Part 2)

Under the leadership of George and Fred, Link visited the remaining classrooms one after another.

It wasn't until this time that Link suddenly discovered that George and Fred's black workshop industry had completely covered more than 5 classrooms in this corridor, covering an unreasonably large area.

In addition to the dung bombs seen earlier, its specific industries also include fake and shoddy love potions, various alchemy prank props, and even a classroom dedicated to the workshop for product packaging.

These so-called job shops all have a lot in common.

The hygienic conditions are extremely poor, the potential safety hazards are great, and the number of employees is small. One person often plays multiple roles, and the quality of these employees is extremely low.

After completing a series of parades, Link and the others stood in the corridor again.

Link was silent and contemplative.

George and Fred looked at Link and Emily in fear.

They knew that the future fate of their workshops was in Link's hands.

Although Emily had hinted before that their Link may not have such a big malice in coming this time.

But when things came to an end, they were still instinctively uneasy.

Finally, Link spoke and said:

"Didn't you tell me that there are so many people signing up that you all want to expand further? Why don't I see many people here?"

George and Fred were taken aback by the sudden question, they looked at each other, and then Fred came out with a forced smile and replied:

"Of course there are a lot of people who sign up, but we also want to control the cost. Some jobs can be done by just one person, so there is no need to hire two people. There are also some students such as potions and alchemy classes, they The level is very high, but we can't afford to hire them, and the things we manufacture are not too high-tech, so we don't need them to join."

"So," Link continued to ask, "how much do you pay these existing student workers?"

"The hourly salary is 20 nats," George said as a matter of course. "This is already a very high salary level. After all, the jobs they do are simple jobs with no technical difficulty."

As soon as this remark came out, Emily's expression remained unchanged.

After all, she was born rich and noble, and she had no concept of money itself, which is a unit of copper nat.

But Link's expression management is a little out of control.

In order to integrate into the magic world as soon as possible, he had a detailed understanding of the world's financial system and prices.

What is the concept of 20 copper nuts?

A copy of the Daily Prophet costs five nats.

That is to say, these students work hard for one hour, which is enough to buy four newspapers.

More importantly, from what Link observed.

The amount of work done by these students is not what Fred claims - one person is enough.

What they are doing is clearly the workload of two, or even three.

But what they got was just such an outrageously low salary.

Good guy, in the magic world, a society where workers' costs are extremely inflated, the brothers George and Fred can be said to have come to an end on the road of squeezing workers' surplus value.

Link stared at George and Fred with a scumbag look and said:

"Doesn't your conscience hurt when you treat workers like this?"

"Oh, Link, you are wronging us by saying that!" George and Fred were a little anxious, and you said each other, "We have treated them well enough, you know the two of us When I developed and produced by myself, the salary was much worse than them, and the workload was several times that of theirs now."

Link nodded.

He believed it.

His previous education gave him a solid understanding of how diabolical capitalism works.

Therefore, he is very clear that at the beginning of the birth of any micro-enterprise, the business owner is often the first person to oppress and exploit himself. In the process, they gradually mastered how to correctly oppress and exploit workers—by practicing on themselves, they finally took the most firm and powerful step towards the capitalists.

Perhaps because Link was a little flustered after not speaking for a long time, Fred came up to him and added jokingly:

"Link, do you know what is the funniest thing? The salary we offered at the beginning was actually one silver Sickle per hour, but there were too many people applying for the job. In order to compete for the job, they paid the hourly salary to Pressed down, it really made us laugh."

"Ha! My good fellow, you even encountered a worker who was involved in meddling."

Link shook his head and said.

"In...involve? What is involute?"

George and Fred had obviously never heard of this word before, and asked in confusion.

But Link waved his hand and continued to return to his pensive state.

What George and Fred did was indeed abominable, but it also provided Link with a very crucial piece of information.

At present, students are in urgent need of part-time jobs to earn pocket money.

After all, the little Muggle wizards in the wizarding world exchanged very limited amount of Galleons from Gringotts every year, and the children of ordinary wizarding families also had less pocket money because of Hogwarts' free food and lodging.

There is also the cost of additional practice materials required for courses such as learning potions and alchemy.

In short, the result of all this is that students rush to even such a demanding and painful job, and even form involution.

After confirming such a piece of information, Link had a brand new vision of resisting Umbridge.

Can he also set up a platform for student temporary workers?

The purpose of this platform is not to make money, but limited, to distribute money to students within a certain range.

Link thinks this should be a good idea.

Umbridge can use the way of drawing big pies to fool and win over senior students.

Then he can also use money to attract students.

Anyway, he has plenty of money.

A large number of black and white industries in the two lands of Germany and China are sending countless wealth to the Foley family at all times.

A little bit of the income in it leaked out and took out a little bit, which was enough for Link to settle the matter.

I believe that as long as this platform can be truly implemented, then everything can return to Link's control.

Thinking of this, Link looked at George and Fred again.

Now there is only one question left in front of Link.

That is the black workshops of George and Fred, is there still a need for them to exist?

The answer is yes.

George and Fred's estate must exist!

It has to exist for a long time!

Link quickly came to this conclusion.

Sprinkling money can indeed win a large number of hearts in a short period of time.

But human desires are endless, and this characteristic will not change just because humans become wizards.

Spending money blindly for a long time will only make people dissatisfied.

The story of the rich man and the beggar, and the story of Doumi Ensheng Mi Qiu have already proved this point.

If you want to continue to win people's hearts, you need to let people see the tragic scene in hell while they are deep in heaven.

Happiness is always in contrast.

The black workshop of George and Fred is very suitable to serve as the "hell" to be compared.

But for now, George and Fred are not enough as "hell" and need to add some more fluff.

The corners of Link's mouth rose slowly.

This made the two brothers George and Fred who were already very nervous under his gaze suddenly feel a sense of creepiness.

It was as if the person standing in front of them was not their classmate.

It was a ferocious beast that was opening its mouth wide, trying to tear them apart and swallow them up.

"George, Fred, I will not prevent them from continuing to open student workshops. On the contrary, I can provide you with protection so that your workshops can continue to open for a long time."

Link smiled and said, "But the premise is that you must cooperate with me to do something."

"We understand this! We all understand it!"

While speaking, George hurriedly took out a heavy cloth bag from his arms. Although he was smiling, there was a kind of tangled distress.

Because that small cloth bag contained a full 20 gold Galleons, which was all the savings left by the two brothers.

"No, no, no, I don't need your poor gold coins." Link shook his head. "What I need you to do is to further deepen the exploitation of student workers. Make their working conditions and treatment more harsh, It’s best to have one or two minor accidents as soon as possible.”

George and Fred looked at each other, their faces were ugly.

Because they don't understand what Link can get out of it.

If they don't understand, it means that this matter contains risks they don't know.

"Don't worry, I will help you solve all the problems. You should believe in my strength. Moreover, I have extra compensation for you."

While speaking, Link also took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it on the ground.

clatter——

The mouth of the cloth bag was opened directly under the action of gravity, and a large number of gold coins engraved with the dragon pattern poured out of the mouth like a tide.

"There are 1,000 Galleons here. We will sign the contract later, and the money will be yours after signing."

Link said with a smile on his face.

At this moment, George and Fred no longer cared what Link said.

Their attention was completely drawn to the shining hills of gold coins on the ground.

Seeing this, Link was not in a hurry, and just quietly watched George and Fred with Emily.

The faces of these two people are full of greed for wealth.

Both Link and Emily have seen this expression too much.

Generally, this kind of people are the so-called slaves of money, they can't see the attributes of money at all.

The so-called money is actually just a tool in the eyes of people like Link and Emily who truly understand the nature of parts of the world, and it does not have any value in itself.

For Link, industries, resources, and even people are the real wealth.

Link's act of directly throwing money can actually be regarded as a test for George and Fred.

The current obsession doesn't really matter.

But if the two brothers can't extricate themselves for a long time, it means that they are also part of the countless mediocrity, slaves of money.

On the contrary, it proves that they are still saved.

call--

After a long time, George and Fred finally woke up amidst the sound of heavy breathing as if a drowning person was finally rescued.

At this moment, their eyes were red and their bodies were soaked in sweat, as if they had just fought a life-and-death fight, they were embarrassed and tired.

"We can help you with this, but you have to let us know what kind of accident you are talking about, a 'not minor or not serious accident'? Is this enough?"

As George spoke, he pointed to the classroom next to him where the dung bomb disaster had just erupted, and the poor students who were still being washed down until now.

Link frowned and said:

"It's a little too much. What I need you guys to do is attract hate, not really make things angry. What you need to remember is that student workers can be injured, but not seriously injured. Their injuries have to be the kind of medical It can be cured at will."

As soon as Link said this, George and Fred looked at each other in unison again, and saw the same answer in each other's eyes.

This job is capable!

Neither George nor Fred were really greedy for money.

Their sole purpose of making money is to fulfill their dream of opening a magic joke shop.

And if they get Link's daughter Galleon, then their initial venture capital will be directly collected!

In this case, as long as what Link needs them to do is not too crazy, then they can do it.

Even being expelled from Hogwarts for this!

As for, what is Link's purpose in doing this?

They are no longer interested in knowing.

Anyway, in their impression, Link is such an inexplicable person, and this time he may be losing his mind again.

"We agreed! When will the contract be signed?"

Having figured it out, George and Fred said in unison.

Hearing this, Link finally nodded in satisfaction.

George and Fred barely passed his test.

This has both advantages and disadvantages for Link.

The advantage is that they have the ability to help with more things.

The disadvantage is that such people probably cannot use money to induce them to sign the 'unbreakable oath', and thus firmly control them.

Link took out a piece of parchment stamped with the goblin stamp of Gringotts.

"Let's sign it now, we will discuss the specific content of the contract."

Both George and Fred's expressions became serious.

Because they recognized the parchment.

Fairy's Magic Contract!

Once this kind of contract is violated after it is signed, the violator will be backlashed by the goblin magic above.

Although it won't die, it will definitely not be easy.

After all, the knowledge of the two brothers George and Fred is still too little.

In their view, this kind of contract can be regarded as very formal and strict.

"Okay! Then let's discuss it!"

After hesitating for a long time, George finally nodded seriously.

After half the start, in a fierce dispute, the contract finally burned itself into fly ash after both Link and the Weasley brothers signed their names.

The atmosphere in the corridor finally became more relaxed.

"Link, since that's the case, we won't send you off!"

"Yeah, yeah, hurry up and have dinner, we won't send it away."

George and Fred said with a smile on their faces, while they were still picking up the gold coins on the ground.

Link didn't reply, but turned his gaze to the classroom temporarily sealed by him with ice and said:

"What are you going to do about this?"

"Ah, what are you talking about, isn't this easy to handle?" George looked up, and then said lightly, "Let's find some wood and mud to seal it up later, don't worry, we will never let it The stench spread, and we don’t want the property inside. Anyway, it’s just some material money, tools and so on are brought by the workers, so we don’t have to lose money.”

"It's not good for you to do this...?"

Emily, who had been watching, finally couldn't help but speak.

Hearing this, Fred raised his head and said nonchalantly:

"Anyway, Hogwarts is all kinds of disgusting traps with strange shapes. It's no big deal to make one or two more, and no one will care."

After saying that, Fred bent down again, and began to happily pick up gold coins.

And Emily was completely speechless.

Link couldn't help stretching out a thumb and said:

"As expected of you guys!"
