Chapter 22: The Harvest
With Dumbledore's help, Karl gave Jokowi the franchise for Hearthstone's operation to Jokowi's joke shop in the form of a share.
This way he no longer has to worry about all the mess, and he no longer has to spend time reading books to make his own hands, just sit there and wait for the money to be collected.
But all of this was expected by him, and what really pleased him was another thing.
"It's a very good achievement, Carl. I think, as a reward for this achievement—"
"As a bonus, Professor," Karl interrupted Dumbledore, "I hope to get your approval for the forbidden section. ”
When he said this, Carl didn't think it would work out at all, just had the mentality of giving it a try.
He expected Dumbledore to reject him directly, but he didn't expect that Dumbledore didn't do so.
After hearing Karl's request, Dumbledore did not reply immediately, but thought about it seriously.
He thought about it for so long that the portraits of the previous principals on the wall, who had been eavesdropping, yawned.
The Headmaster's room was silent, no one spoke, and no one interrupted Dumbledore's thoughts.
It wasn't until an hour later that the look of thought in Dumbledore's blue eyes faded.
He shifted his gaze to Karl and said slowly, "I think Hogwarts should be able to give a little preferential treatment to students with outstanding talents. ”
"Really?" Carl was a little surprised, he didn't expect this old man to be so stingy with information this time.
Then, he thought of something and added, "Professor, when I say the forbidden book area, I mean the entire forbidden book area. ”
"Of course. Dumbledore nodded calmly.
Karl was very happy, but he didn't lose his cool, he planned to expand the victory, "Then Headmaster, can I, I mean, if I can, I want to see the books on your shelves." ”
The books on the shelves in Headmaster Dumbledore's office are the best of Hogwarts' collections, which contain countless advanced knowledge of the dark arts, even the specific production methods of Horcruxes.
"That's a bit of a stretch, Carl. Dumbledore refused without hesitation.
He had a smile on his face, and Carl wanted to punch him.
So, coming out of the principal's office, Carl had a note in his hand:
Carl Cooper is hereby allowed to read all books in the forbidden area, but is not allowed to lend them.
―Albus Dumbledore
......
Carl gave the Hearthstone to Jokowi's joke shop, and logically he didn't do anything wrong, but he still intended to compensate the twins.
After all, during this time at Hogwarts, the two of them have been running around.
In fact, the ideal situation is that two people open their own stores and run them, and Carl gives them the right to operate them, but now they are too small to be impossible.
So, he plans to give all his previous income to the two of them as the start-up capital for the Weasley Magic Joke Shop in the future, and Jokowi will only give him more in the future.
But his decision was strongly opposed by George and Fred.
Here's what the two said, "You've given us a whole set of cards, Carl! If we buy it ourselves, God knows how many years it will take." ”
That's not because of the sales model and price set by the two of you, Karl Xin said, so that now Jokowi has directly copied the past.
"And Carl," George winked at Carl mysteriously, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one around, and then said, "You have no idea how much we have earned!"
"When you look at them, you won't say anything like that. Fred said meaningfully.
It was a lot of money, indeed, when George and Fred pulled a large box out from under a broken curtain, and together with Carl, the three of them worked together to pour the contents onto the bed—
Seeing this pile of gold galleons full of beds, Carl was also taken aback.
If you just look at the gold coins in this bed, you don't know which wizard family's vault you will come to.
"There must be tens of thousands, right?" said Karl.
"Ten thousand seven hundred and eighty-five, we counted them five!" said George and Fred proudly.
"That's not right. Carl frowned, "Even if you sell one card pack for 1 Galleon, I will only make a total of 120 sets, and I won't be able to sell it for this money?"
The twins looked at each other and smiled smugly, "We kept 100 orange cards with the best special effects and put them up for auction, and each one sold for at least 20 Galleons. ”
"You're amazing!"
What else can Karl say.
There are so many tyrants in the school!, Carl sighed. But even so, if they can earn tens of thousands of Galleons, the two of them are estimated to have emptied all the pocket money saved by all the young wizards from grades 1 to 7 at Hogwarts.
Ten thousand Galleons, even if an ancient wizard family like Malfoy takes it out, it is estimated that it will hurt for a while.
Carl had made three million, but that money was currently in the hands of his adoptive parents, and he couldn't touch a dime.
He persuaded his adoptive parents to take some money and make some investments, but they said, "That's something adults should worry about, and children should have a happy childhood." "I came back directly.
I don't know what Nick and Louise are doing with the money, Carl thought, but don't leave it in the bank.
After thinking about it so much, it doesn't help at all at the moment.
Carl and the twins stared at the sum of money in a daze.
It's too much of a loser to spend it all, and even if it is spent, what can they buy.
