Chapter 54 The middleman earns the difference

The Quidditch arena was noisy until the middle of the night, when it gradually quieted down.

It's not that everyone is tired, but the members of the England national team have been captured by the Ministry of Magic and taken to Azkaban.

Fudge says that he wants to catch the troublemaker, but he can't really catch him.

There are 100,000 wizards on the scene, and there are so many Aurors in England...... Who are you going to arrest? Azkaban can give you a pop!

In the end, in desperation, the Aurors had no choice but to arrest the members of the England national team...... It is said to be caught, but it is actually temporarily protected to prevent further excesses by fans.

It's okay to get out of the rage, but you can't really kill it.

However, it is not safe in the Aurors, and there are several people who want to kill this group of waste.

After all, 10:390...... I'll do it too!

Fans in England were also under siege. They were very aggrieved and said that they would stop fighting and unite with the outside world.

Say that during the World Cup, all blacks will be exempted?

Say yes......

Say your sister!

The dish doesn't make people spray, does it depend on love to influence?

The Scottish fans, in particular, were the most jubilant. Who let the family win the runner-up in the last World Cup?

At that time, it was sprayed with various 'falling brooms' and 'swimming back'...... But everything is afraid of comparison.

Compared with the spicy chicken team of England, Scotland is simply a glory for the country.

Sure enough, England is also happy, and it depends on us Scotland to win the championship.

The funniest thing is the wizard from Argentina, who burns the photos, and they follow suit.

However, they did not distinguish between England and Ireland, and they took out the photo of Aidan Linzi, the Irish national team seeker, and burned it.

This is not surprising, as Argentines have always been at odds with other countries.

The last time the Argentine Council of Magic was ironically eliminated from the South Korean Quidditch national team, the official newspaper showed a photo of the North Korean Muggle government, the eternal chairman, Jeong-il.

Then, the Argentine Quidditch team was blackfooted in a friendly match.

After this wave of Argentine operations, the originally tense relationship between fans is about to erupt.

Not only are Scottish fans clamoring for a referendum on independence, but Irish wizards are also clamoring to form their own Second Ministry of Magic to compete with the British Ministry of Magic!

A kick-off match in which the Quidditch World Cup camp is in chaos.

The England national team is really a villain, and it is not assigned to Azkaban to cut sugar cane...... It's just not enough civilian dung.

The next morning, William and Hermione walked out of the tent.

The whole camp was in shambles, like a bad thief. There were also sorcerers lying here and there on the ground, with empty bottles in their hands.

Many of the surrounding tents were splashed with paint with slogans written on them:

"You are a disgrace to the team's 520-year history!"

"Shameless people, get out of the g!"

"You are no longer welcome to this land!"

Obviously, the England national team broke the hearts of many fans and was unilaterally expelled from citizenship.

Especially those fans who thought they could win the game, they pressed a lot of money.

Line up at the Quidditch pitch in the morning and wait to jump off the sports table.

William and Hermione didn't care, huddled under a small umbrella, avoiding the sight of the wizards around them, and walked towards the elf's tent.

Creditors...... Go collect the bills!

Two hundred and twenty thousand Galleons!

"So, Professor Barblin is in contact with that person." Hermione whispered.

"No, the professor didn't agree immediately, and he was still deliberately hanging Tom."

Staring at the foggy sky from afar, the green girl smiled, narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and said with a smile on her eyebrows: "

I know...... Do you want to get away with it...... You are a veteran in this area, rich in theoretical knowledge, and invincible in practical experience. ”

William's face was confused, and there was still a little innocence in his eyes, as if he couldn't understand what the girl was saying.

The corners of Hermione's mouth curled, and she reached out to take William's arm.

Overall, Professor Babling is really good.

She had been staring at William's face early in the morning.

yes, what other face grabs Tom's attention more than William's?

It was a face he couldn't refuse.

Professor Barburing also gave full play to his identity as a professor of ancient magic texts, and brought up some kind of ancient power in class.

Mentioning this kind of thing in a different profession would seem abrupt, and the identity of the ancient demon professor ...... Hit the spot.

Sure enough, Tom's attention was immediately attracted away, and he also took the initiative to approach Barburing last night.

William suddenly remembered Professor Barburing's words: "Someone has worked with the Grim Reaper." ”

This sentence really made him care.

Both William and Nicol dreamed of death and received his guidance.

There is some wonderful connection between the two sides, but it is not a partnership. Is there anyone else in this wizarding world who has ever worked with the Grim Reaper?

Passing by the Malfoy tent, William spotted an ad for a fall from grace.

But Malfoy definitely can't find it, those fat peacocks, I don't know whose belly they have entered for a long time.

At the fetching location, William also saw that the well was yellow, apparently a group of wizards from last night had used it as a toilet.

Luckily there was water in the tent, and they didn't use it from here. I don't know who will be the unlucky guy who uses water.

When he was about to walk to the fairy tent, William unexpectedly saw two familiar figures at the door.

- Ludo and Fudge!

In the middle of the night yesterday, Ludo tried to find William.

However, he knew that the camp would be restless, and there was a lot of magic outside the tent, and he couldn't get in at all.

Ludo thought about it, so he had to come to the gambling place early in the morning to block people.

The purpose is naturally to bet with him, and by the way, talk about Sanqi...... Ah no, the twenty-eight thing.

I didn't think that Minister Fudge thought about it this way, and came to the fairy tent early in the morning.

"William, I have something important to discuss with you, and I will talk about advertising." Fudge lowered his voice.

"Let's talk inside." William nodded.

The four of them walked towards the fairy tent, and Minister Fudge asked for a quiet room.

Hermione didn't go with her, she took the key to the vault and went to the elves to collect the two hundred and twenty-two thousand Galleons.

Sitting down in his chair, William wondered:

"Isn't the advertising fee already negotiated?"

Like many Muggle tournaments, the Quidditch World Cup has advertising sponsorships.

After all, it's a feast of matches against wizards from all over the world.

However, it is certainly not as expensive as the Muggle Super Bowl, where advertising costs are not as expensive.

In William's previous life, the average cost of a 30-second ad at the Super Bowl had reached a terrifying $5.6 million, an average of $186667 per second.

And at this point in time in 1994, the 30-second ad has exceeded one million dollars.

But what are the ratings, and what kind of stinky fish and shrimp are you in the Quidditch World Cup?

There is no live TV, only radio. The size of wizards in the world is so large, and the advertising price is naturally much cheaper.

But no matter how low it is, a game can range from hundreds to thousands of Galleons. For example, the 58 advertising spaces in the World Cup final have reached nearly 10,000 galleons.

It is not an exaggeration to call it a gold cave.

"William, you've already bought three advertising spaces for the finals, don't you want to buy some more?" Fudge suggested.

William earned 200,000 Galleons in one night, so he could spend more.

And the Quidditch World Cup has dozens of matches, and if it is not the big favorite, there will not be many spectators, and tickets will not sell well.

There are not many advertising positions, and Fudge is also in a hurry.

It's all golden Garons!

"Of course I can buy more, seven or eight more is fine, and I can even charter it. But ......"

William thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I don't buy advertising space, I buy other things." ”

"What do you buy?" Fudge wondered.

"There was a mascot performance in the final, and after that, I wanted to have 30 seconds to perform."

"What?!" Fudge was stunned and blurted out, "No." ”

The Quidditch World Cup has never been played like this.

"I'm bidding high." William laughed.

"How much?" Fudge immediately asked.

William picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip.

"Ludo, go and help me see the odds tonight." Fudge agreed.

"Minister's ......"

"Hurry up."

Ludo reluctantly stood up, this kind of trade secret, it was normal for people not to let him listen to it.

After Ludo left, William whispered, "I'll give fifty thousand Galleons." ”

"Fifty thousand Galleons...... Fudge's little heart paused for a second.

It's really a local tyrant, so much as soon as you open your mouth!

However, they only earned 200,000 Galleons last night, and 50,000 is nothing!

Fudge's eyes when he looked at William were also instantly hot.

"William, we have a good relationship...... But this position is important and there has never been a precedent...... I'm going to be under a lot of pressure......"

"Sixty-five thousand, no more." William said.

The 1994 Super Bowl 30-second commercial was no more than a million dollars. According to the exchange rate between Galleons and the US dollar, 100,000 Galleons are 730,000 US dollars.

But the Super Bowl has live TV, Quidditch doesn't. And the number of wizards is far less than that of Muggles.

So the median price of sixty or seventy thousand Galleons is very reasonable.

Fudge thought for a long time, and suddenly said:

"William, we have a good relationship, this is also a form of advertising that has never been before, it is not easy to estimate.

But the first time I tested the waters, I could only charge 30,000 Galleons. ”

William was stunned, he originally thought that Fudge would open his mouth, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to reduce the price.

William only thought about it for two seconds, and then he realized it instantly.

How much advertising money is charged now, it is all from the Ministry of Magic, and he is the Minister of Magic...... What does it matter!

Anyway, this is a new form of advertising, and Fudge even deliberately lowered the price, charging only 10,000 Galleons...... But middlemen, they always have to make a little difference.

In Fudge's opinion, what do those officials of the Ministry of Magic know, Garon...... It should be collected by the right people!
