Chapter 56: This is a time when the remnant is king
Malfoy has been distressed lately.
Their family coat of arms is a peacock, and thanks to this, he himself is very fond of peacocks.
He had six peacocks, the kind his son raised, and he and Draco had just enough to make up seven.
So he had one more son than Arthur Weasley.
So six peacocks were brought to the World Cup, a symbol of Malfoy's luck. He's a superstitious thing.
But one day, the tent broke down and collapsed. When he came back, he found that his beloved pet, the peacock, ...... Nope.
Malfoy's so angry!
It was his favorite peacock, the family coat of arms, a symbol of good luck!
Asked Fudge for help, but the minister refused him directly on the pretext that he was too busy.
Malfoy's hate!
Help find a peacock and imply a sexual bribe to him...... Fudge, this beast!
It's not once or twice.
Last year, when Blake escaped from prison, Fudge came to the door and said that after Malfoy visited Blake, Blake had escaped from prison.
He must have done it.
Fudge also sent a retiring Mad-Eye to keep an eye on Malfoy Manor.
In the end, Malfoy had no choice but to donate a sum of Galleons to settle the matter.
Coupled with the Buckbeak affair, Fudge took the money, but said that the Hippogriff was lost.
So, Malfoy really doesn't want to see the minister right now...... I wish he were dead.
Wait!
This World Cup, Malfoy is going to secretly do something big and remind the people in the wizarding world that although the Dark Lord is gone, don't forget their brothers.
Especially Fudge, be careful when walking at night in the future!
Now that they're all ready to do bad things, Malfoy isn't ready to pay for it. But there were 100,000 wizards, and he couldn't find the peacock himself.
In the end, I had to post a bird-hunting revelation outside the tent.
At noon that day, I heard that the mud was so big that it crushed the Trinesian team.
Malfoy laughed all afternoon. It seems that Stark has a little bit of magical talent, but he is really not good at gambling.
In order to slap him in the face, Malfoy pressed England with 20,000 Galleons.
And then...... He was slapped in the face that night.
Stark used 20,000 Galleons and made 200,000 from his hands.
Malfoy's sour.
It's too sour.
Look at other people's sons, who are so talented in magic, and they can gamble!
Look at your stupid son who is not angry. In the past few years, Draco may have spent a small amount of 20,000 Galleons just to buy Stark's alchemy products.
It's just sending money!
Wait a minute...... Co-authored Stark's gambling money, all from his family?!
For a moment, Malfoy inexplicably felt the urge to practice the tuba again after the tuba practice had been scrapped.
But this trumpet is not something that can be practiced if you want to.
He tried, and asked Snape for a potion. But the kidneys were all drunk, and the child was still not born.
Nassi also complained that he was not good, that he was not a man......
Just as Malfoy was under multiple blows, Fudge found him again, saying that there was important information peddling.
Malfoy, who was not going to spend money on Fudge, was so curious that he spent another thousand Galleons from him to buy the news of Stark's bet on the Norwegian team.
Looking at the odds, Malfoy knew his chance had come.
He was also very bold this time, and directly pressed the Norwegian team of 50,000 Galleons...... However, that night, the Norwegian team was slaughtered by the American team.
Fortunately, he was not the only one who lost his money, even Fudge and others lost money, and Stark also lost 40,000 ......
No, Stark lost it, what's the matter with him, he didn't make 200,000 yuan before!
In the third game, everyone began to wait and see.
But Malfoy saw that Stark had pressed sixty thousand Galleons, and he felt that he had read Stark's inner thoughts.
I definitely lost on purpose last time, and I can definitely win this time. He gritted his teeth and followed another 30,000 Galleons.
The results were disastrous...... Defending champions Canada suffered a heavy defeat.
Everyone started saying that Trelawney was accurate, winning three times in a row. Malfoy thought about it and decided to follow Trelawney's lead.
But this time he lost fifty thousand.
And Stark won half a million.
Malfoy doesn't believe in evil, believing that Stark will definitely lose his next game. He decided to continue to press Trelawney in the fifth game.
Sure enough, Stark lost 100,000 ...... McGonagall earned three hundred thousand Galleons.
Before and after, Malfoy lost a total of 300,000 Galleons.
Everybody's saying: Malfoy is a loser.
Malfoy now has only one sentence in his mind:
Even if I were dead and nailed to the coffin, I would cry out in the grave with this rotten vocal cord:
Bet on the dog to die!
……
……
Malfoy is just a microcosm, countless wizards like him, in this World Cup feast, either overnight rich, or bankrupt.
Under the stimulation of the huge Galleons, everyone is very wild, thinking that they are the emperor who understands the ball, and the next one will definitely be able to press.
Therefore, as the World Cup continues, the eyes of the whole world have gathered back from Venice to England.
Soon, the group stage of the World Cup came to an end.
Not unexpectedly, the England national team ended the World Cup journey with a complete defeat.
They made history by breaking through the quarterfinals in reverse and entering the round of 16 strongly.
Last year's defending champions, Canada, did not escape the curse of the champions, losing to Egypt in the final extra-time and being excluded from the quarterfinals.
Instead, Scotland stumbled and joined Ireland in the quarter-finals.
Inside the tent,
Sitting a group of wizards, William they are convening, Akali Mystery Store Sales Strategy Meeting.
Halfway through the meeting, Hermione, William's personal secretary, was taking notes.
Fred fiddled with the telescope in his hand and said quickly:
"Binoculars on the market can replay the picture...... Look at the picture at a rate of 0.75x. It also quickly flashes an analysis of the situation. ”
"And our technical department has developed 0.5 times the speed, and two times the speed, four times the speed."
"That's right." George continued: "On top of the match analysis, player information and real-time odds have been added...... Once this telescope appears, it will definitely sweep the market. ”
"What's the price?" William asked, with his hands crossed.
"Preliminary pricing, twelve Galleons each." Qiu, who manages sales, replied.
"It's too expensive." William shook his head.
"The telescopes on the market can meet most of the needs as long as ten Galleons. Many customers will not spend an extra two Galleons. ”
He thought for a moment and said, "The price also stays at ten Galleons. ”
"In that case, our margins will be pushed down too much." Qiu frowned. "Our costs are already higher."
"The World Cup is our best chance to seize the market." William explained softly:
"We have to fight a price war, a trade war, in order to monopolize the market, this is an era where the leftover is king.
We have abundant funds, even if we lose tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of galleons, it doesn't matter.
In the future, we monopolize the market, how much can't we earn back? ”
Autumn nodded.
"And badges." William held up a badge.
It was a glowing rose-shaped badge – a green color for Ireland and adorned with a shamrock dancing in the wind.
"I've already negotiated with Fudge that we'll be the agent for the production and sale of the official commemorative coin."
"Official commemorative coins?"
"Yes, an official badge of the Ministry of Magic with the Akali Mystery Shop logo."
William knocked on the table and smiled:
"We're going to start with the first batch of commemorative coins, for example...... Commemorative coin of the top 16 of England. ”
“……”
William was confident that it would be in high demand.
Probably with the four-way Titan, Ivanka figure, and the commemorative coin of the United States that the new crown has been confirmed to break 100 million...... Just as sought-after.
……
……
(Ask for recommendation votes, big guys.)
Thanks to the "trance Xiaobai" boss for the reward. )
