Hogwarts Kryptonian

"What a nostalgic necklace!"

"..."

"Miss Greengrass, don't worry. Since I gave you something, you won't want it back. Just wear it."

"You have something to say, don't talk about these useless things." Lu Yunkai glanced at Daphne, who was embarrassed by Mrs. Zabini's two words as soon as they met. He stood up to block the muzzle of the gun, and then looked at Bray who was aside. Secretary, "Is Padma coming?"

During the first Hogsmeade weekend in fourth grade, Lu Yunkai took Daphne and followed Blaise to the Three Broomsticks bar.

Compared to the messy Pig's Head pub and Mrs. Puddieff's teahouse, which is more suitable for romance, this is indeed the best place in Hogsmeade for business.

"...I didn't call her." Blaise's face turned slightly red again.

"...Silly boy." Mrs. Zabini sighed.

Forget it, this precious son of his was really manipulated by Lu Yunkai. He had finally tried to gain some bargaining advantage over Daphne, but now he had lost all of it.

"The cooperation method is still as agreed upon before. Is there anything else to discuss?" Seeing that he had the upper hand, Lu Yunkai changed the topic to business matters.

"About maintenance." Mrs. Zabini took a deep breath and continued: "I think it is very difficult for those who bought the mirror to pay every year or even every month. And The workload is also very huge..."

"So?" Lu Yunkai nodded.

This is a fact, and it is impossible for him to open a business office in England.

"So I suggest simply setting a service life of the communication mirror, such as fifty or one hundred years, and then adding this part of the money directly to the selling price." Mrs. Zabini continued, "I thought about it, one month One gold galleung should be more appropriate, so in one hundred years it will only be one thousand two hundred gold galleons..."

"See, you have to be like your mother when talking about business! Your method of handing over all your cards to me without saying anything can really ruin the family fortune that your mother has saved for you with so much effort!" Lu Yun spoke earnestly. Said to Blaise who was standing aside.

"...What do you mean?" It was Daphne who asked.

She didn’t hear anything wrong with Mrs. Zabini’s suggestion!

And not only is it not inappropriate, it is also very reasonable. To be fair, who is willing to go to Diagon Alley every month for a gold galleons? Floo fans are almost worth half a round trip...

"I am fully responsible for the magical maintenance of the communication mirror. Whether and how much of the income will be divided... Who can say clearly in the future?" Lu Yun smiled and said to Daphne: "What if this mirror is sold for two years? Now that I have money, I decided to avoid Blaise completely. There is nothing he can do about it. But if I had included all the money when selling the mirrors, wouldn’t I have to worry so much? "

"Oh..." Daphne nodded.

"That's what I mean." Mrs. Zabini did not refute Lu Yunkai, and nodded in approval, "It's better for everyone to settle the accounts first."

"But if we suddenly increase the price of this mirror by more than a thousand gold galleons, will it not be sold?" Blaise muttered next to him.

Quiet.

Lu Yunkai had a weird smile on his face.

Mrs. Zabini's face was full of embarrassment.

"Of course, there are other ways." Mrs. Zabini coughed lightly, breaking the awkwardness: "I thought about the advertising issue you mentioned before, and I can completely eliminate this cost."

"Yes, yes." Lu Yunkai nodded, "But I want to take more of this part of the commission. After all, maintaining these magics also requires labor."

"Just leave it to the one named Irene." Mrs. Zabini didn't want to give in.

"Even if Irene is asked to do it, the salary should not be less." Lu Yunkai did not want to give in.

"In the contract you signed with her, you originally had to go to the store to take care of the business. Now just replace it with this part of equal value." Mrs. Zabini insisted.

"Then her salary must be deducted from the sales before sharing." Lu Yunkai also insisted.

"impossible."

"There's no need to talk about that."

At a stalemate.

Although both Lu Yunkai and Mrs. Zabini were smiling, they refused to give in.

"Is it necessary to argue like this?" Daphne muttered next to her.

"It's tens of thousands of gold galleons a year, what do you think?" Mrs. Zabini snorted.

"Mom!!" Blais couldn't stand it anymore.

Quiet.

"You silly boy, who do you think I am fighting for!" Mrs. Zabini lost her temper completely.

"You had to reach an agreement with Lu Yunkai here a year earlier, and the extra money you would earn would be more than these tens of thousands of gold galleons, right?" Blais muttered, "Whoever earns and who loses, you can't figure it out clearly?"

"You..." Mrs. Zabini was angry.

This obsessed, silly boy! !

"Originally, in our agreement, the employee expenses were included in your share, and you were responsible for it yourself." Lu Yunkai had no intention of giving in on this matter, because he knew that as long as he made a small concession, he would probably end up with more in the future. Concession: "Now it is settled before the share, which means I also contributed a large part. If you think it is unreasonable, then I can allow Irene to be transferred to do this full-time maintenance, and then her salary will have to come from your share. No more deductions will be made.”

"Then she can't get such a high salary."

"The income from maintaining such a magic system is not as good as growing herbal medicine? Don't you feel ashamed to tell me?" Lu Yun asked with a smile, "What if you could find someone as capable as Irene, responsible and serious in doing things, and absolutely reliable?" If you are a wizard who will be poached and manipulated, of course, I will be responsible for the review, otherwise the same thing as the previous clerk will happen again..."

"Just do as you say!" Mrs. Zabini glared at her son and sighed.

"Don't be so helpless!" Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "Otherwise, whoever gets the promotion advertising expenses will get 10% as a bonus first, and then we will calculate the general ledger."

"Okay." Mrs. Zabini, of course, immediately agreed to Lu Yunkai's proposal without blinking an eye.

"Wouldn't the whole mirror be covered with ads you received by then?" Blaise, who was standing aside, continued to interject.

Mrs. Zabini glanced away, causing her son to quickly lower his head in fear.

"You don't have to worry about this." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "Didn't you always ask me before why this mirror has some pictures in the background when it is not in use and only displays text information? Then there will be some advertisements."

"Oh!! I understand!" Blais suddenly realized, "So you have already started making preparations?"

"Tell me about the price of the mirror! How much do you plan to sell it for?" Mrs. Zabini interrupted Blaise's praise of Lu Yunkai.

She now really regrets having to discuss business with Lu Yun in front of her son.

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Lu Yunkai asked.

"A thousand gold galleons?" Mrs. Zabini thought for a while and said tentatively.

"Is it cheaper?"

"Is it expensive?"

Daphne and Lu Yunkai said two completely opposite words almost in unison.

"Is this expensive?" Daphne shook her head resolutely, "Such a useful thing is definitely more than a thousand gold galleons! The mirror you gave my father that can only allow two people to talk to each other can sell for tens of thousands of gold galleons!" "

"How much this thing can sell for doesn't depend on how much it's worth, but how much the buyer can afford to pay." Lu Yun explained with a smile, "According to me, I can accept five hundred gold galleons. As long as the guarantee The British wizard can do everything, but I’m afraid I won’t make any money in the future?”

"Well, it's good that you think so. Originally, I wanted to make it as cheap as possible, but I was worried that the price I mentioned was too low for you to accept." Mrs. Zabini said with a look of appreciation on her face.

"This was researched by Lu Yunkai, and you didn't contribute. Of course, you think the cheaper it is, the better it is." Blaise muttered again.

"Who are you from??" Mrs. Zabini finally couldn't control her emotions and exploded.

"But this is a long-term consideration. But if it is a buyout price, more than a thousand gold galleons is too cheap." Lu Yunkai added, "Those who mind receiving some advertisements that do not affect their use may not be able to use it at all. Wouldn’t mind spending more money.”

"Yeah. That's right. Then accept the advertised version, which is five hundred gold galleons a side. If you don't accept it, it's three thousand..."

"Three thousand! Be more generous, start from ten thousand." Lu Yun smiled and shook his head, "This is not a question of whether the price is reasonable, but what kind of mirror do you want to sell?"

"Okay." Mrs. Zabini smiled and nodded. Indeed, for them, advertising income may be the biggest part. "Then when can you supply me with goods?"

"I have a batch in my hand, about a thousand noodles." Lu Yunkai weighed it and reported the number, "But they are all versions that cannot accept advertising. After all, I didn't think of doing this at first."

"This...if you want to change it, how long will it take to change it?"

"It can't be changed. Everything I designed is locked with magic and magic circles. If anyone can change it, then wouldn't you be digging a hole for yourself by selling it cheaply?"

"That's true." Mrs. Zabini nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "I want five thousand noodles that can accept advertisements. How long will it take for you to make them?"

"Five thousand? So much?" Daphne looked surprised.

She did a mental calculation, and based on the selling price of 500 pieces, this was 2.5 million gold galleons! !

Of course, she didn't think Lu Yunkai could sell the thousand noodles that Lu Yunkai said he planned to sell for ten thousand gold galleons.

That’s ten thousand! ! Although there are many rich wizards, it does not mean that there are many people who are willing to be taken advantage of.

"Before Christmas." Lu Yunkai said casually for a while.

"Okay." Mrs. Zabini nodded, "Give me your thousand noodles first, and I'll think about the sales strategy, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sell them..."

"There's no good sales strategy." Lu Yunkai smiled and shook his head, "You can just sell this batch as a VIP limited edition. It just so happens that the number in my system is from one to one thousand..." To be honest, if I had time, I would also know some rich people..."

"What don't you know? They're just the parents of these classmates in the school! Have you forgotten that Pansy came to you before and asked if you had any mirrors to sell?" Blaise interjected from the side.

Then he got another glare from his mother.

"...Well, actually if I were to sell it, I would sell it for 50 million gold Galleons." Lu Yunkai said with a smile, interrupting the scene of a loving mother and a filial son.

"Fifty million??" Daphne was stunned by this number.

"Do you think that if your father doesn't have the pair of mirrors I gave you, would you mind spending 100,000 gold galleons to buy a mirror with your mother's birthday number as a gift to her?" Lu Yunkai asked Daphne, "And what about your mother? Is that right? Would you like to buy one for your father too?”

"...terrible." Daphne weighed it, and when she looked at Lu Yunkai, her eyes were filled with awe.

Not to mention, for two hundred thousand gold galleons, it would not be a problem at all for her parents to buy a pair as gifts for each other.

And he might also buy them with birthday numbers for her and Astoria... This is because her grandparents have all passed away, and three or four generations of Pansy and Millicent's family live together. Yes, it may be possible to buy from all directions as soon as you make a move.

After all, Lu Yunkai claims that this mirror can be used for a hundred years! This rounding up is a lifetime! For families like theirs, it is not a loss to buy something that can last a lifetime for 100,000 gold galleons.

"Besides, among those who want to please the Minister of Magic, maybe some of them would like to buy a mirror with the number one..." Lu Yunkai said with a smirk on his face, "I will mark this mirror with a hundred I can probably sell it for ten thousand gold galleons. Of course, if I am more ambitious, I can just hold an anonymous auction..."

"Will so many people recognize this thing of yours?" Daphne was shocked by Lu Yunkai's rebellious mentality. She said something arrogantly, as if she had forgotten that just now she thought Lu Yunkai was selling it cheaply: "Without this thing, it wouldn't be possible." No impact."

"If only a few people around you use it, and everyone still uses owl communication, that's okay. But if you and Pansy both use it, but Millicent doesn't...will you two take her to play together?" Lu Yun laughed. ask.

"This..." Daphne couldn't refute for the moment.

It seems indeed...

"Maybe one day, every wizard will need this mirror, just like they need a wand. The wand can only show that you can use magic, and your friends stored in this mirror can prove that you really are. A wizard." Lu Yunkai confidently said the slogan he had been thinking about for a year.

"You! Learn from others!" Mrs. Zabini sighed softly when she heard this, and said to Blais, "Don't be stupid all day long. If you have half the brains of him, I won't be lazy." He’s still running around at this age!”

"Okay, that's it." Lu Yunkai once again interrupted his roommate's pitiful experience of being taught a lesson by his mother about someone else's child. "When I go back, I will sort out the mirrors and give them to you. You can look at them and sell them. As for maintaining communication magic, I have put it at my house before. If you think it is necessary, I can ask Eileen to take it and put it in your store. "

"I'd better find a way to deal with the protective magic in the store first." Mrs. Zabini shook her head, "This must be safe."

"That's fine."

"Then it's settled!" Mrs. Zabini let out a long breath, "Don't forget to stock up on the ordinary version of the mirror."

"I know it. And I have to test the advertisement sending magic again. After all, I have only tested point-to-point single sending with Blaise before, and I need to test the mass sending."

"Yes." Mrs. Zabini nodded, "You can take care of these yourself. I only want the things."

"Then I'll leave first. You and Blaise are here to chat first?" Lu Yunkai stood up with a smile.

Daphne also stood up quickly.

"Me too..." Blaise also stood up.

"Sit down!!" Mrs. Zabini glared at Blaise fiercely.

"...You guys walk slowly."

Blaise sat down with a bitter look on his face.

Lu Yunkai and Daphne looked at each other and smiled helplessly, then ran out of the Three Broomsticks bar hand in hand.
