Chapter 132: KFC in the Wizarding World!
Chapter 132: KFC in the Wizarding World!
Just as Harry was thinking about these things, the fire had spread up the stairs and up the second floor.
This was not the flame of Muggle cognition, Harry had experimented with it when he was just learning magic, and a piece of iron could be lit and placed in the fire for a long time before it was extinguished.
The fire is raging.
A few people left the Leaky Cauldron and stood on the streets of London.
It was peaceful outside.
Muggles coming and going, who would have thought that right next to them, a fire was going on.
The flames covered the narrow wooden door of the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and in less than ten seconds under the gaze of everyone, it turned into a pile of ashes, revealing the red scene inside.
After a few minutes, the flames died down because everything that could be lit was lit.
In front of them was bare, with only an open field filled with ashes from the burning of wood.
Harry stood where it used to belong to the Leaky Cauldron Bar, with the sun above him, and the sun was shining on his body, and there was no longer a dark first floor without sunlight.
Harry was satisfied, he would rather have this bare land than the previous Leaky Cauldron Bar.
He took out the map of the hotel's results that he had prepared a long time ago and handed it to the fat man bag foreman.
Harry didn't want his hotel to be a completely modern product decades later.
This is the UK, after all, and this is the Wizard Hotel.
The aesthetics of wizards and Muggles are still a bit different.
Harry thought it would be difficult to find a hotel that would be acceptable to the wizard, but after looking for it, he found that it was not as difficult as he thought.
After searching for books on the architectural changes in Britain in the past 100 years, he found many pictures that matched his ideas.
Luxury, luxury, prestige.
Harry then took a look at many of London's top hotels.
A complete image of the hotel comes to mind.
Harry then gathers information, photographs, and everywhere he can think of it, there are corresponding images.
He's been busy with this for the past few days.
He has been in and out of five-star hotels, Cambridge, famous historic buildings, and even Buckingham Palace.
More than 200 pictures.
The fat man looked at the photo and said, "It's too luxurious, it's too difficult to build, we can't do it as a construction company." ”
How reluctant he was to say that, but the two-month deadline Harry had said simply wouldn't work.
Just the presidential suite he saw, he was shocked.
The large living room is far larger than the three bedrooms and two living rooms of ordinary people's homes, and the large floor-to-ceiling glass wall is outside the view of the Thames River, you can see the lush embankment, overlooking the bustling high-rise buildings in the heart of central London, a sofa is facing this view, sitting on the sofa, watching such a view, while drinking wine, while enjoying the most luxurious service.
This is just the living room, the suite has a total of 3 bedrooms, a maid's room, a study, each bedroom is equipped with a bathroom toilet, the bathroom decoration is so luxurious, so that the fat man can't help but think: this life, if you can live in such a bathroom, it will be worth it. Not to mention the exquisite decoration of the other rooms.
He cried and mourned: "Merlin is above, we are just ordinary wizards." ”
Harry gave him a disgusted look, you are still a wizard, you can't do this little thing, it's a shame.
"Okay, I know, I will contact other decoration companies, you work together, you must do the fastest, the best, not satisfied, no salary. ”
......
Harry loved contracts so much.
Anything can be signed in the contract, the rules and regulations are clear, and there is no need to worry about someone on both sides making trouble, because the consequences of breaking the contract are unbearable.
So Harry was relieved to hand over the money to the two construction companies.
Do you want to wait for the future, open a shop in the human world, specializing in all kinds of magic contracts, who to sell to, it depends on fate, you can also contribute to the urban legend, the name, it's called the eighth pawnshop, it's good.
Harry's total assets were about 700,000 Galleons, and it only cost more than 300 Galleons to buy the Leaky Cauldron Bar.
It's not even a fraction of what it takes to build a new Broken Axe Bar.
According to the budget of the two renovation companies, it will cost about 600,000 Galleons, totaling more than 30 million yuan.
It is naturally impossible to build a luxury hotel for 30 million in 20 years, and it will not be possible to get it without hundreds of millions, but this is 1997, and the currency at this time is naturally not comparable in the future, so it is possible for Harry to build such a luxurious hotel.
Harry hadn't intended to invest that much in the Leaky Cauldron in the first place.
In his mind, it would be nice to spend a hundred thousand pounds on the Leaky Cauldron to upgrade it.
But he didn't expect the situation to be so bad at the Leaky Cauldron.
If Harry still threw money into it, it would be like decorating shit with gold leaf.
It's a terrible idea.
Harry had the idea to rebuild a hotel.
At first, Harry thought that the newly built Leaked Cauldron Hotel was just a high-end hotel, and he didn't plan to invest all his money in it, but when he saw the luxurious palaces and castles in the book, the Broken Cauldron Hotel he originally imagined was upgraded step by step and became what it is now.
To do this, Harry had to invest more than ninety percent of his assets.
Harry wouldn't have any regrets, his own luxury hotel was much better than cold coins.
The pile of golden Galleons in Gringotts was emptied, and the remaining Galleons, Harry calculated, converted into pounds, less than 100,000, what can this less than a million yuan do?
Well, Harry was ready to spend all the money he had left, not a single bit.
Harry walked around the streets of London and decided where to spend the rest of the money.
......
The sudden move of a grocery store in Diagon Alley didn't attract much attention, but the next day a group of people arrived, and they were a professional renovation team.
The first thing they did was to change the name of the store, the background was white, and two three-dimensional yellow characters hung on the wall: Magic Castle.
Then, the wooden door was removed and two glass doors were installed, and the magician inside looked at the picture, waving his wand, painting, wallpapering, and changing the floor.
In less than an hour, the store was completely transformed.
Even if the original owner returned, he couldn't find a trace of his own shop.
Clean, transparent, bright and neat.
It doesn't fit in with the Diagon Alley style, it's like a black and white photo with a rainbow in it.
After a while, dozens of delicate small wooden tables were moved into the store one after another.
When the magician in the house had done this, he locked the door and left.
Sunlight is refracted through the glass into the room, illuminating the room.
The people of Diagon Alley are curious about this new shop, Magic Castle? What is this selling?
......
Harry thought he had a great idea, Diagon Alley sold everything, but there was nothing to eat, and the snack house didn't count.
So if you open a Muggle fast food restaurant, how popular will it be?
As for what fast food, do you still need to think about it, of course it's KFC.
Follow the path of the successful, and there will never be failure.
It's just that it can't be called KFC, because wizards are still very reserved about accepting Muggle things.
And because KFC is best known for its burgers, Harry decided to name the fast food restaurant 'Magic Castle'.
