Chapter 407: It's over
While Harry, Ron, and Hermione were racking their brains to get Hagrid to find out about Nicol Lemay, Albert was snuggling up in the library to eliminate his weekly homework and free up as much free time as possible for himself to do other things.
Fred and George are also busy in the library, but instead of doing their homework, they are looking for the recipe for the laughing potion and the details of Ariot in preparation for making the laughing toffee.
At the moment, the twins are discussing how to get cheap ingredients. It's not easy to make a good laughing toffee, the little pocket money in their pockets can't afford to spend, research is a very expensive thing, and they don't have the ability to make money like Albert.
And, if the pharmacy didn't sell the leaves of Ariot and the honey of the heartworm, they would have to try to get it from Mundungus Fletsch, or find something to find out with the owner of the pig's head bar.
"Your letter!"
Lee Jordan pulled up a chair, sat down next to Albert, put the folded note in front of Albert, looked at the twin brothers opposite with a smile, and pretended to be surprised, "What are you doing here?"
"We've figured out how to make laughing toffee, should we add it?" asked Fred, shaking the parchment in his hand, and smiling.
"Forget it, don't beat me up with my pathetic pocket money idea. Lee Jordan clutched his pockets tighter.
"You really don't participate?" George took the parchment from Fred, raised his hand to reach forward, handed it to Lee Jordan, and said, "Are you really not interested in our future money-making plans?"
"You?" Li Jordan looked at Albert beside him uncomfortably, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure it's yours?"
"Well, I was wrong, it was Albert's money-making scheme. ”
"Didn't you do it?"
Hearing that it was Albert's plan, Lee Jordan had some confidence, and Fred and George always gave him a feeling that he was not very reliable.
"Whose letter?" asked George, curious. It was rare for him to see Albert receive a letter, and a thick one was the norm for him.
"Hagrid, invite me to his place for tea tomorrow. ”
Albert casually put the note in his pocket, and he could probably guess the reason, presumably Harry went to Hagrid and mentioned that he knew what the item in the restricted area on the fourth floor was, which made Hagrid suspicious of him.
"How?" Fred asked with a smile.
"Don't you think it's weird to call it a magic grocery store?" Lee Jordan complained. In his opinion, the name was terrible.
"It's just a name, and I'm sure I'll think of something better when the time comes. Fred didn't care about that at all.
"By the way, do we really already have so many products?" asked Jordan again, as he found a whole bunch of lists on the parchment, all kinds of merchandise, including wizard cards.
"Most of them are semi-finished products. Albert explains, "Just take a little time to fine-tune and you're good to go. ”
"Why is the head office in Hogsmeade and the branch in Diagon Alley?" asked Lee Jordan again, "and besides, do we have so much money?"
The start-up capital above is actually a thousand Galleons?
"No, but there will definitely be in the future. Albert said nonchalantly: "What we need most now is to expand the number of products and prepare for the future." ”
"How much start-up capital do we have. Lee Jordan asked curiously.
"5 Galleons. Fred said angrily, "That's my pocket money and George's." ”
"It's two hundred times worse. ”
"Your computing power is good. George said angrily
"Thank you so much for the compliment. Lee Jordan asked Albert, "I really don't understand this kind of thing, what are you going to do?"
"I'll provide the money and technology, and the store may have to be run by you. ”
"What about the wizard cards, together?"
"At first, it must be put together, after all, there is not so much money, and when it gradually becomes popular, it will naturally be gradually divided. ”
"Will the wizard cards be split in the end?"
"Just like you can see above. Albert lowered his voice and said, "We will gradually complete the plan, and the road will be smooth in the future." Of course, it's my thing. ”
"It feels like there's a mess on it, and I can't read it at all. Lee Jordan muttered, "Forget it, you just decide." But let me be clear, I don't have many Galleons. ”
"No one expects you to be able to help with many Galleons. George said angrily, "Albert said he had a way of getting enough Galleons, and we didn't need to worry about that." Of course, it would be even better if I could help out with some Galleons. After all, there will be a shortage of money at first. ”
"Can it really succeed?" Li Jordan was still a little skeptical, not that he didn't have confidence in Albert, but that he didn't understand these things at all.
"If you don't want to, forget it. ”
"Who said I don't want to. ”
Lee Jordan naturally didn't plan to give up, since he slipped away with Albert, he has never lost money, even if he really failed, it just took more time.
"You have to have faith in Albert. Fred patted Lee Jordan on the shoulder, took the parchment back from the other's hand, and carefully folded it away.
"But there are seven projects in total?" Lee Jordan couldn't help but mutter.
Not only him, but even Fred and George were very surprised when they first saw the contents of the parchment, and no matter how they looked at it, they felt that it was too greedy to be involved in so many fields.
"Don't rush, take your time. Albert has already decided to bring in more people to work for him. Well, no, I should say that I helped them fulfill their dreams, and I was really a good person!
Naturally, they don't know Albert's thoughts very well, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to think about this aspect in their lives.
"When are we going to go to the fourth floor?" Fred asked suddenly. It's been almost two months since they've been at school, and they can't help but want to make trouble.
"It's not time yet. Albert shook his head.
"Why?"
"Someone has their eye on what is in there, do you want to be cannon fodder?"
"You think the thief who broke into Gringotts is in the school?" all three were taken aback, thinking it was ridiculous.
"Why not, I said it earlier, compound potions can make one person become another. Albert reminded, "As long as you keep drinking it, it won't be so easy to spot." ”
"You mean ......"
"Who do you think is more suspicious?"
"Professor Quirrell?" replied Fredti Albert, "it must be Professor Quirrell, or you wouldn't have bothered him three or two times." ”
"Isn't it normal for students to ask questions and ask teachers?" said Albert with a sense of confidence.
"Questions?" Fred said, with a strange expression, "Professor Quirrell will take a detour when he sees you now." ”
"Is it really Professor Quirrell?" asked Lee Jordan.
"Possibly. ”
"That's it. George muttered, "I think he might be out of luck." ”
"I remember Albert saying at the beginning of the school year that Professor Quirrell would be in bad luck. Lee Jordan nodded in agreement.
I don't, don't talk nonsense.
Fred reached out and patted Albert on the shoulder and said, "It's incredible, but what you said has come true." ”
