Chapter 197: You guys are so showy, why don't you go to arms?

However, Ivan pondered it carefully and felt that this kind of character-like thing should not be used to make magic props.

Ivan is still confident in this...

Ruling out a possibility, Ivan saw that George and Fred had no clue, so he didn't ask any more questions, and instead talked about the business model of the magic trick workshop.

George and Fred even proposed to formally hire Ivan as a special advisor to the Magic Trick Workshop, owning one-third of the shares of the Magic Trick Workshop.

"Are you sure? I don't seem to have done much as my special adviser. Ivan was surprised.

The research on these magic items was done by both George and Fred, so Ivan didn't want to take advantage of them.

"Of course, this is something that Fred and I decided together, and you've helped us a lot with so many ideas before." George nodded and spoke.

Fred added.

"Besides, we didn't thank you for helping us get the order from the Ministry of Magic during the summer vacation, otherwise Mom would have burned all the research results of our research..."

At this, George and Fred smiled at each other, told Ivan about the interesting things that happened in the Burrow, and finally joked.

"When Mom saw the fifty gold Galleons you gave us, she thought we had done something bad, and she didn't believe it when she told her that it was the Ministry of Magic that gave us the money."

Ivan didn't expect that he had asked Maca to send Golden Galleons and that Mrs. Weasley would accept George and Fred's research work, and he remembered that Mrs. Weasley hated them the most for not doing their jobs.

"So, you're completely free to do research at will?" Ivan was heartily happy for the two.

"Almost.." Fred nodded.

Soon, Fred wilted like a frosted eggplant again, and slammed his mouth. "But Mom requires us to have all our homework this semester above E (beyond expectations), otherwise we won't be allowed to study."

Ivan shrugged his shoulders and said that there was nothing he could do, and that George and Fred were actually doing well in their studies.

But in the case of studying while doing research, it is indeed a bit difficult for them to have a grade above E in all subjects.

George and Fred were depressed for a while, but quickly adjusted.

It's still far from the end of the term, and it's still too late to work hard...

George didn't think about these troublesome things, and spoke to Ivan. "So a third of the shares are what you deserve."

"Well, since you say so." Ivan refused.

Based on his status as a special adviser, Ivan naturally would not simply perfunctory them with some theoretical knowledge he had seen in his previous life, but seriously gave them advice.

For example, in the early days, magic trick workshops could rely on "practical" props such as auto-answering quill pens and quick-acting skipping candy to quickly increase sales.

You know, homework and classes are the biggest headaches for most young wizards...

Soon after, the Quidditch tournament was also a great opportunity for Ivan to advertise and sell joke magic merchandise.

For example, get some amplified props, or colorful flags that can display the name of the team, I believe most of the little wizards who like to watch the game will buy it.

Transform the fireworks into celebratory fireworks, the winning house will definitely need this thing to celebrate....

Ivan gushed out, and George and Fred soon joined the discussion,

"In that case, someone will buy our big dung eggs, and those academies that lost the game will definitely need this to vent their anger." It occurred to George that point.

"That's right! Boom pyrotechnics can actually be used to beat people... We can also sell some of the little wizards of the opposing academies and let them fight each other! Fred also became more and more excited.

Ivan looked at the two of them in a daze, and was speechless for a while,

You guys are so showy, what kind of magic are you learning? Why don't you go and become an arms dealer!

It's sure to make a lot of money!

However, Ivan also had to admit that the two had a good idea, and participated in the discussion of some details of the sale.

After chatting for a while, Fred, who was still unsatisfied, suddenly said mysteriously.

"By the way, when it comes to Quidditch, why don't we make a gamble and make a big profit like we did last time? I'll do it this time, because I don't have to compete and train, so I have more time..."

Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Fred with a strange expression, no wonder Fred gave way so readily when he joined the team before, it turned out to be this idea!

However, hearing Fred say this, Ivan was somewhat moved, and no one would be too little to be a little bit of a gold gallon.

Don't look at the fact that he researched a lot of magic props a few months ago, and they are selling very well, but this is considered the income of the store, and Ivan can't use them at will, and the research expenses can't be reached out to the family every time.

The money he got from selling the wolf poison potion was his own.

However, due to the high cost of publicity in the early stage, most of the gold gallons were smashed into propaganda, otherwise the Daily Prophet would not have reported on him every day.

In addition, the wizarding world is not only infested with werewolf wizards in the British Isles, but also in the whole of Europe and even the whole world, so publicity is a big expense...

More crucially, to move the store out of Tumbledown Alley and into Diagon Alley, you need at least 20,000 gold galleons.

That's why Ivan cares about the newly opened magic trick workshop.

There are thousands of young wizards in the seven years of the four Hogwarts houses, and they can make a lot of money every year just by selling these small props.

"What do you think? Fred and I can pay a hundred gold Galleons as the principal. "Compared with last year, when he saved five gold galleons as the principal, George was very arrogant this time, and he was a hundred gold gallons as soon as he made a move.

"Yes, I'll pay a hundred Galleons too." Ivan didn't hesitate too much and then made a decision.

Most of this hundred Galleons were the surplus of funds that Althea had when he bought books for him, and the rest was earned from selling wolf poison potions.

With two hundred gold Galleons as the principal, George and Fudley threatened to make a big move, and a small fight like the last time would not satisfy their appetite.

"It's a pity that we played against the Slytherin team once in practice last time, and this time I guess most people will buy us Gryffindor to win!" George was somewhat disappointed when he said this, which meant that they might not make much money this time.

And they can't play match-fixing and deliberately make Gryffindor lose the game, otherwise Wood will kill them...
