The use of house-elves to deliver couriers has been unanimously approved by everyone, but there are disagreements on the issue of remuneration.

Hermione insisted that house-elves should be treated well, not only with a salary, but also with vacation and sick leave.

Fred and George looked at each other and giggled.

"Pay and holidays?" Fred shook his head, "House-elves don't need that!" ”

"Yes, they like to work." George chimed in. "We can get them to deliver for free."

"Who said that?" Hermione retorted, "Dobby needs it, doesn't it, Dobby?" ”

Hermione looked at Dobby with encouraging eyes, and it stood up tremblingly, and said firmly, "That's right, Dobby needs a salary!" ”

"Okay." George held up his hand, "But, a strange man like Dobby...... Ahem, I mean, there aren't many elves with personalities. ”

"Yes, it's in their nature to work, and they like it, you know?" Fred said.

"If they don't let them work, they will feel uncomfortable, and paying them is an insult to them."

"So you are prepared to continue to enslave them." Hermione gave her a dangerous look.

The twins looked at William as if they were crying for help.

William raised his hand, motioning for Hermione to be quiet. He calmly said: "Of course we have to pay the salary. ”

Hermione lifted her chin and gave her a triumphant look.

"First of all, we have to recognize a basic problem, the owl sends a courier, do you want to give money?" William asked.

"Of course." Fred said.

Unless it's a home-owned owl, like an owl that delivers a newspaper, or an owl that gives a gift, it needs to be paid.

Occasionally, they will ask for dried fish and peck at your arm if they don't give it.

When they see beautiful hair, they will forcibly pull out a few of them and take them back to lay the bird's nest.

This also varies from person to person, and Professor Snape has never had this kind of trouble.

The owl who tried to do such a thing was smoked to death the moment he got his mouth.

"If owls are all paid, why don't you hire house-elves to deliver couriers and not pay them?" William asked.

The twins were silent.

"There's one more thing you misunderstood." William said, "Who said that most house-elves, unpaid?

The house-elves work in the wizard's house, which is also in charge of food and housing.

It's not equivalent labor, but it's a transaction. ”

"We don't provide food and shelter for the house-elves, so we naturally have to pay them to take care of the supplies they need to survive."

To put it bluntly, when it comes to domestic elves, wizards deliberately blur the issue of remuneration and labor.

But isn't eating and sheltering a reward? It's just that this kind of remuneration is much cheaper than the labor of house-elves.

William decided to leave food and lodging alone and let the house-elves figure it out on their own. Then wages are not an issue.

It is impossible for any wizard to say: I don't care about food and shelter, and I still work without paying!

So did William lose money? Of course not.

House-elves are a labor resource, and they use magic to do other things, and they will create more surplus value than doing housework!

"And what about their salaries?" Cho thought for a moment and asked. "It's a lot of money."

"It's very simple, since it's a courier, it's as good as the owl's delivery price for the time being." William said.

"That's not enough for house-elves to survive!" Hermione disgruntled.

"Of course." William explained, "House-elves are not like owls, they can only deliver once a day.

They can be apparitions, let's not talk about the close, let's just say send it to London.

The base price of the market is five nats, and you have to pay for overloading.

A house-elf that uses phantasmal manifestation and can run at least fifty orders a day.

That's two hundred and fifty nats, and a week that's 3.54 gold galleons......"

"That's enough." Dobby rejoiced: It's too much, I'll have enough Galleons a Monday. ”

Hermione glared at Dobby speechlessly.

"Hermione, we can't immediately raise the treatment of house-elves to a very high level." William reassured.

"But this is just the beginning, and only if the price is low enough to seize the market."

"When everyone gets used to this kind of logistics, we're definitely going to have to raise the price, understand?"

Only leeks that grow up are good leeks!

It's convenient to cut it like that!

Hermione's problem was that she was hell-bent on giving the elves a good treat, a salary, a dress to wear, and a comfortable environment.

But there are only slogans, no real plans.

Hermione even thought that she could rely on the little wizard to raise donations, and persuade the elves to consciously ask for wages......

These are all useless exercises. Neither wizards nor house-elves will respond to her.

But William was very simple and could solve this problem.

That is to rely on the Akali Mystery Store to establish a new logistics system and liberate them from the role of family nanny.

This is a relatively gentle way of improving and preventing riots.

"And what about their holidays?" Cedric asked.

"Of course it's 996." William said as a matter of course.

996 is a blessing from the previous life!

Compared to the house-elves, who have been working all year round, William has made a big change.

"It's too little, at least two days off a week." Hermione said.

"Nope! Too much! Dobby shuddered, as if so much leisure time was very scary.

"Miss...... Dobby likes freedom, miss, but he doesn't want much freedom, he prefers work! ”

“……”

"And the clothing problem." William knocked on the table and said seriously: "Dobby, I don't care what you wear when you are resting."

But during the work, the work clothes must be uniform, no bells and whistles, and must be clean. ”

Dobby nodded hurriedly.

"I'll have Mars, the elf of House Nicol, come and train you for two months."

William even thought of the style of the costume, so he just had the yellow overalls.

Wearing a helmet, it looks inexplicably kind.

It's best to have an elf equipped with a broomstick.

William was now working to transform the wizarding world into what he knew.

Maybe in a few years, I will see investment advertisements such as Ele.me and Meituan in Diagon Alley.

Since you can't change yourself, it's better to change the world!

"What's the name of our new store?" Hermione asked eagerly.

"It's called ......" William held his chin, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Witch house delivery!" ”

"Remember, we're not here to make money." He stood up and waved his hand.

"We're not interested in money!

Our goal is to ensure that the house-elves receive a reasonable wage and a good working environment.

We are not capitalists, we are real ...... Philanthropist! ”
