59. The future of magic cards

"Can some of the prank toys we made be used as other prizes?" George asked in an uncertain tone when no one was speaking.

Listening to his words, McGoth's eyes lit up, yes, how could he forget about them, you must know that the twins' prank toys will be all over Hogwarts for the next few years, and it is definitely the best choice to use those things as a reward.

"Great, I think this is a very good proposal, do anyone else have any suggestions?" Seeing them shake their heads, McGoth settled on it.

After discussion, they decided that the prize for the champion would be a powerful life-saving box, with two mischief toys from the Weasley brothers in second to fifth place, and one prank toy in sixth through tenth place.

"Originally, I wanted to make a gratuitous, casual, light-hearted game, but now that we've put so much into it, and now we're pulling in the Weasley brothers' work, I don't think we want to let our efforts be forgotten after only a few times."

"So what do you think?" Speaking of this kind of problem, which is close to inheritance, everyone's face became solemn.

"My idea is, since we've set up the rewards, let's set up this game to be paid, what about you.

"Paid? What is the paid method? ”

"We can sell tickets for the tournament and only those who have a ticket can play the tournament. to have a chance to win magic cards. ”

Hearing his words, everyone's expressions were a little hesitant, and they began to discuss it. Magos didn't speak, waiting for their voices to subside.

"I have a bit of a suggestion for the price that everyone is talking about, I think whether it is the seventeen Galleons that Malfoy said or the one Galleon that Roger and others said, I think it's a bit much, you must know that there are still many students in the school who need to rely on the Hogwarts Board of Trustees, and our ideas and ideas should not be set only for the rich, but try to involve as many people as possible. But you can't keep the price down infinitely in order to get everyone involved, like Harry's talk about a few copper nats and a silver sico suggested by Cadwallad, I think it's a bit too low, you know, if the threshold is too low, it will make people feel that the event is meaningless and worthless, and once people have this idea, they will give up sooner or later. ”

"How much do you think is appropriate?" Cedric asked.

"Ten, ten silver sike." McGoth slammed into the air. "It's neither too high nor too low, anyone can afford it, and we're a one-time fee, as long as you give it, you'll be able to participate in this tournament until the end of a season, which is equivalent to ten silver sike can have the value of half a semester. Another point is that most Muggle families, including me, are used to the whole number of tens, so this is my personal advice. They looked at each other and discussed a few words, and they voted unanimously if they thought it made sense.

In fact, this is also the result of McGoth asking Ron in private, McGoth has asked Ron since he thought of this, because he has many brothers in the family, so life has always been relatively poor, and the cost of his participation is still paid by him and Harry for him, although he insisted that he would pay it back when he had money. He asked Ron what the maximum amount he could afford if he was asked to participate in a game that required a fee, and Ron was talking about a Galleon, and McGoth looked at him with a reluctant expression, and could see that this was the maximum amount he could afford. So he thought for a moment, one Galleon is seventeen silver sico, then cut off the fraction and become ten. And he also felt that it was pleasing to the eye, he was used to the life of ordinary people, and he still couldn't understand the proportion of money in the wizarding world. When McGoth asked Ron if he would think it was a lot if he had ten silvers, Ron said that it wasn't much, and that he wouldn't hesitate if there was an interesting game that only needed ten silvers to participate in. That's why he said ten silver sicos.

In this way, the rule is that those who want to participate in the King of Cards must come up with ten silver west as entry fees. At the same time, they felt that everyone who participated in the competition should receive a commemorative badge, which could be a little comfort for those who did not make it to the finals, and it could also be used as an attraction. McGoth agrees with this, and he has the idea that he can use the badge as a necessity to purchase certain items when he opens his store in Diagon Alley in the future, and that it can be added when the Weasley brothers open a prank toy store in the future. However, a simple charm must be set on the badge to prevent anyone from copying it.

"And what do we set up our badges to be?" The person who spoke this time was Anita, who rarely spoke.

McGoth shook his head, this is not his strong point, he is responsible for coming up with ideas, planning and planning for the future, this kind of detail is still left to special people, he looked at the twins who were about to move.

"Leave this to the Weasley brothers, I think they're good at that. By the way, I propose that 60% of the entry fee in the future be given to their brothers, and the production and experimentation of prank toys will also cost a lot of money. ”

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

……

The twins were a little embarrassed to accept, but they couldn't resist everyone's persuasion and agreed.

"The remaining 40 percent will be seen for the time being to see what changes are needed in the future."

"McGoss, we'll show you a sketch of the badge in two days." Fred was confident.

"Trust us, we won't let you down." George's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"There's no hurry, just make it before the magic card is made, and the last thing is who will charge this fee." Everyone said that they didn't care about his question, and since it was he who proposed it, let him put it away. McGos is adamantly against this, and he says it shouldn't just be left to the people they are doing.

"It's not just us who collects, who else?" Osido's words speak for everyone.

"For the time being, my idea is for the Weasley brothers and one of my designators to be in charge."

"Who?" Harry asked, puzzled.

"Hermione."

"Hermione?" Ron looked at him incredulously, "What are you kidding, Hermione will never agree." People who didn't know Hermione asked Ron who she was, and after Harry and Ron's introduction, everyone disapproved of her personality.

"McGoss, he should have his idea, this plan was organized by him, I don't think he will make such a low-level mistake." Kang, the only sixth-grader, spoke, and everyone slowly stopped talking, their eyes focused on McGoss.

McGoth nodded to Kang in thanks, then smiled confidently at them, "I know what everyone is worried about, first of all, I want to say that this is not only my plan, but also the result of the efforts of everyone here to get to the present, so don't worry that I will betray everyone, I and everyone else don't want it to die." Listening to his words, all the members subconsciously nodded in agreement, "I proposed Hermione for a reason, first of all, I have known Hermione since before I came to Hogwarts, I know what kind of person she is, whether she wants to accept it or not, she will not betray us, this Harry and Ron can testify." ”

Both Harry and Ron knew what McGoth was referring to, and nodded in agreement in the face of the others' inquiring glances.

"The second point is that if she agrees, then she can definitely be fair and just, it's not that I can't trust you, I want to ask everyone, if it's just a few hundred or thousands of Galleons, it's nothing, if it's tens of thousands, tens of millions of Galleons." Ron and a few other first-graders subconsciously swallowed when they heard this. Malfoy laughed and said how could it be.

"It's impossible now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future, if it really has this value, I don't think there are many people who won't be impressed, which is why I gave up."

"And can you guarantee that Hermione, who you're proposing, won't be impressed?" Beard asked.

"Now I can't give you a positive answer, even if I say no, you will definitely feel that it is impossible, in that case, why not try it, then you will know."

Then everyone fell into the discussion, this time no longer about Hermione, but about the profit that McGoth was talking about. However, after their calculations, it was almost impossible to do so, and Hogwarts students alone might not have the value he said for hundreds of years, so everyone couldn't help but relax. Hearing this, McGoth smiled secretly, why did everyone only stare at the school, if it really became bigger, it would be more than just a Hogwarts, but he wouldn't say this.

After the evening discussion in the secret room, everyone went back to their own lounges, and today's comments put forward by McGoth still had a big impact on them, in the past, they only thought about finishing the magic cards, and then distributing them to start the game, and now after he said this, everyone has a kind of worry and confusion about the upcoming game in addition to the expectations from the beginning.

"Don't worry, after so much discussion, we will definitely succeed." On the way back, he cheered on Harry Malfoy and the others.

"McGoss, is it really possible to make that profit?" The twins secretly asked McGoth while no one else was looking. I don't know why they always feel that what he says is likely to come true, and they are surprised that they have such thoughts.

McGoth looked at the twins, thinking to himself that he deserved to be the future business tycoon of Diagon Alley, this acumen was not comparable to others, but what came out of his mouth was, "How is it possible, I just want them to agree." ”
