Chapter 262 Capitalists and Magicians
“Very good…”
Lucius Malfoy stood up, as if he wanted to say something harsh, but after a blow in his throat, he Said in a stiff tone:
"Thank you for your tolerance, Dumbledore...I...I may need to talk to my son again."
"This is as it should be. "Dumbledore said: "There is an empty classroom on the seventh floor. I think Severus is willing to take you there."
"Of course"
Snape shook off his robe. , and when he walked out of the door, he glanced at Wade.
His eyes seemed to say - "Wait for me!"
Malfoy followed with a tight face, as if he didn't want to say a word to Dumbledore.
He glared at Draco with a cold look and said, "Follow me!"
Draco winced, but Narcissa was already on her feet.
She took her son's hand and led him out of the principal's office.
The presence of his mother seemed to give Draco a lot of courage. After walking outside the door, Wade heard his voice whispering:
"I really didn't mean it. , Mom... help me tell Dad..."
Narcissa said softly: "You shouldn't do this, Draco. Vincent is your friend who grew up with you."
"He has changed!" Draco said angrily: "He said bad things about me behind my back..."
Vade showed an expression as if he had a toothache.
How did Draco defend himself earlier?
What he said now sounds like it was intentional.
Maybe he feels that he only has his mother around him, so he feels free to act coquettishly and complain.
However, the principal's office tower has a spiral staircase structure, and the escalator is surrounded by a circular tube, like an echo tube, so that several people in the room can clearly hear the whispers of the two.
The eyes of Big Crabbe in the room suddenly became extremely fierce.
Seeing Wade looking at him, Big Crabbe put away his ferocious expression again and stood up to say goodbye.
"I'm leaving too, Dumbledore."
He said hoarsely: "Vincent and his mother are still at St. Mungo's."
"I'm sorry that this kind of accident happened to Vincent at school..."
Before Dumbledore finished speaking, the ajar door was pushed open again with a bang.
Big Malfoy stood at the door, his light golden hair seemed to be filled with chills.
"Ah, Lucius." Dumbledore asked gently: "Is there anything else you can do?"
Malfoy barely maintained his politeness.
"Sorry... to disturb you."
His eyes turned to Wade and said, "I want to buy this set of mirrors - give me a price."
After leaving, he suddenly Thinking back on it, although they had reached an agreement with the Crabbe family, the scene recorded by the mirror was still a handle and could have a bad impact on Draco at any time.
So Lucius didn't even bother to say hello to a few other people, and hurried back immediately.
Vade hesitated.
Although the flow mirror has begun production, there is currently no accurate price for it.
According to Marchionne, the flow mirror is an epoch-making invention, and he needs to conduct market research before he can determine the price for the first sale.
But in any case, due to production limitations, it is impossible to sell them cheaply.
This is just a sub-mirror.
They have no intention of selling the mother mirror at the moment.
Within two seconds of Vader's hesitation, he didn't know what kind of association Malfoy had, and he immediately set a price himself.
"Six thousand Galleons."
He said simply: "That set of mirrors, together with the pictures inside, I will pay six thousand Galleons for it!"
< br>"Deal!"
Vade said decisively, and then under the gaze of Dumbledore and Crabbe, he reduced the magnified secondary mirror and stacked it together with the mother mirror.
With a swish, as if by magic, he took out a palm-sized box from his pocket, put two mirrors in, then locked the lock and handed it to Malfoy.
"Here is your mirror, Mr. Malfoy."
Lucius Malfoy looked at him deeply and said, "I will send the money to you by owl "No need." Vader said, "Just transfer it to my vault - No. 317. You can contact Goblin Culler in Gringotts. I hope to see the news of the Galleons in the account on Monday." ”
Next Monday, Gringotts will, as usual, send Vader an account of the changes in the funds in his treasury, down to every Knut change.
It's Saturday now.
This means that Malfoy had better make money as soon as he returns.
In everyone’s perception, teenage children will only complain about too little pocket money, but they will not be so naked in urging them to pay.
Malfoy gave Vader a strange look, took the box, and left without looking back.
Subsequently, Crabbe also said goodbye.
"The flow mirror is a very good invention. In the future, every wizard family may want to own one. But at six thousand galleons, only nobles may be able to afford it."
Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Professor, if you want to buy it, a submirror only costs 30 Galleons."
Wade paused and added: "This is the internal price."
"What about the normal price?" Dumbledore asked curiously.
"About a hundred or so? This depends on Mr. Marchionne's opinion."
Wade thought for a while and said.
Dumbledore couldn't help but be silent for a moment when he thought of Malfoy's arrogant 6,000 Galleons.
When Malfoy knows the normal price, he might be very angry!
Of course, if the rarity of double-sided mirrors was used in the past, this price would not seem so outrageous.
Wade coughed dryly and explained: "That's it, he bought a set...the mother mirror is not for sale and is much more expensive."
"If it sells for 100 Galleons , can you make money?" Dumbledore asked.
In fact, he rarely cares about business and economic issues, but since it is related to Wade, he also wants to know about it.
Weid said: "You can only make a little money. But no matter how expensive it is, many people won't be able to afford it. TV...I mean streaming TV, the more viewers it has, the more valuable it will be." The bigger.”
100 galleons sounds like a lot, but in fact most people can afford it.
For example, Filch's weekly salary is 15 Galleons, and he has room and board at the school. As long as he saves for two months, he can easily buy himself a "TV".
Another example is the Weasleys. Their family is famously poor in the wizarding world, but with Arthur Weasley's salary, if they live frugally, a few months of savings will be enough.
The reason why the Weasley family lives a tight life is mainly because the couple has no habit of saving at all. They basically live on their own every month, so that when the children start school, There was not even two gold galleons to be found in the entire treasury.
In fact, because most wizards are very self-sufficient, they value money much less than Muggles. If they are willing, they can even go without spending money for many years.
For example, Dumbledore, the principal salary he gave himself was not high, but he still saved a lot of money.
But after hearing Vader's price, Dumbledore immediately paid for it and bought a mirror from Vader.
He was playing with the mirror and noticed some switches on the side. After pressing it, he asked strangely: "Why is there no picture?"
"The content will not be displayed until the broadcast starts."
Vade walked over and talked to this guy who was over a hundred years old. An old man said:
“If you are not a magician, you can adjust the sound through the knob on the side.”
"Currently, the sub-mirror can only play the exact same picture, but within a year, we will allow the audience to have at least three more programs to choose from at the same time..."
Dumbledore immediately understood: "It's like Muggle TV...can change the channel?"
"Yes."
"Can this mirror do it?"
"Of course not." De smiled like a capitalist: "It doesn't have this function yet!"
Dumbledore looked at him with a smile: "...Vade?"
"Huh? "
"You know magic is very dangerous, right?"
Wade blinked: "Of course"
"Then you know that horse. Has Mr Chioni encountered many attacks?" Dumbledore asked again.
Vader was silent for a moment and said: "Maybe then... there will be a trade-in service or something like that?"
Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction.
