"An unprecedented success!" This is what Hermione said about the Hogwarts School Magazine.

The first issue alone caused a stir on campus, and people were discussing the contents of the magazine, and came directly to Hermione, saying that there were hundreds of little wizards who wanted to subscribe for three years at a time.

Hermione had to borrow an auto-writing quill from Clark so she could jot down the names of the men.

"You're so good at making money!" This is what the Weasley brothers had to say about Clark.

At the very end of each Hogwarts Journal, there is a blank page with nothing but a small plastic bag attached to it.

When the young wizards ripped off the bag and tore open the package, they found only a card with a delicate pattern printed on it.

The card is about the size of a playing card, and like the card in the chocolate frog, the characters printed on it are also moving, but these little wizards have not heard much of it.

Fortunately, someone soon found out about the card game promotion advertorial that George and Fred wrote in the entertainment section, and understood how to play the card game.

A new kind of table game!

The little wizards immediately felt eager to try, after all, on such a rainy day, what could be more comfortable than nestled in the lounge and playing games.

It's just that according to the article, one card is not enough to play a game, and they don't have a map to play magic cards.

At this time, it reflected Clark's foresight, and before the magazine was released, he prepared dozens of card game-specific placement maps in advance and gave them to the twin brothers to sell.

Not only that, but he also guessed that some young wizards must not have the patience to collect the giveaways of the "Hogwarts School Magazine", so he prepared more than a dozen sets of magic cards in advance.

And considering that the little wizards didn't have enough money, and many of them couldn't even get a gold Galleon, he gave up the way of selling the entire set of cards directly, and instead changed to a bag of four cards, each bag of two silver sico, and made a card pack mode for card drawing.

A couple of well-played little wizards only need to spend a small amount of money, draw a few card packs, and then mix them up with each other to get a deck.

This combination of lottery and collection of card purchases is very popular, and some rich little wizards, such as Draco Malfoy, spend all their pocket money in order to draw a golden "Fire Dragon" card.

However, it also made the Weasley twin brothers a lot of money.

"You're amazing!" The twin brother stood beside Clark and emphasized again, "Compared to you, our ability to make money is only that of a younger brother. ”

At this time, the Gryffindor lounge was crowded and lively. Several tables were filled with young wizards, who were watching others play a magic card game.

This is another clever idea that Clark came up with, card rental.

When something new comes out, some people hesitate, after all, this set of magic cards is not cheap for young wizards, and many people don't know if it's fun or not.

Except for some little wizards who are not short of money, they are hot and impulsively spending, more people still choose to wait and see, and at this time, the Weasley twin brothers provided card rental business.

They provided the necessary cards and maps for the game in the common room, charged by the hour, and provided free snacks and drinks, turning the lounge into a game room, and the business was very popular, even attracting many students from other colleges.

In the end, the two brothers had to quickly find a few friends who had a good time in other colleges, develop a downline, and provide cards and other tools for them to do the same in their own college's lounge.

"The hundred bags of cards and packs you prepared for us have all been bought, this is two hundred silver sike, after deducting the cost, we also earned ninety-three silver sike, if it weren't out of stock, we could earn more."

George snapped his fingers and counted the proceeds of the sale of the cards to Clark today, while Fred looked at the notebook used to keep time.

"The rent of our game is 3 copper nats for an hour, and it is 6 copper nats for two people to play, 24 coins for four tables, and now the book is booked at twelve o'clock in the evening, according to you, by the end of the time, there are still six hours, which is 144 copper nats.

Of course, the other colleges still need to share a little bit of our friends, but just like that, tonight's rent alone will be more than 300 copper nats. ”

The two of them said with their eyebrows fluttering, no way, this is just the first day, when have they ever seen such a quick way to get money, this is much stronger than their previous hard work of selling tricky props, and they have to risk being caught by the teacher.

Clark looked at the two of them with a smile on their faces, but poured cold water on them.

"It's just a short-term business, there are only so many students in Hogwarts, and we're a novelty, and adults outside don't necessarily like it.

So when the stock of cards in the Little Wizard starts to increase, the number of people who buy cards and lease them will decline, after all, everyone has their own cards, who will rent you. ”

The twin brothers were already convinced by Clark at the moment, so as soon as he finished speaking, the two of them were shocked, "What should I do then?" ”

"Cold salad." Clark looked at the hot scene in front of him, and his heart was extraordinarily calm, and he was even in the mood to joke.

At the same time, after working together during this time, his evaluation of the two cousins has also been lowered a little, after all, they are children from poor families, and his two cousins are still too narrow-minded.

A lot of things are only focused on the small profits in front of them, and a little bit of the big picture is missing.

But this is also normal, the reason why it is difficult for the poor to turn over is precisely because they have exhausted all their strength just by living, so how can they have any energy to care about the future?

Fortunately, the two of them are still young, and there will be more plasticity in the future, and with a little experience, they can also be entrusted with important tasks.

Therefore, he also knows everything about his two cousins.

"Don't worry, at least until then, we still have to earn. In the future, I will also release different series of cards, and update the version frequently to ensure the vitality of the game.

As for this card rental business, it can almost be converted into a card game club, and when there are more people, we can also organize card game competitions, just like Quidditch matches, and when it is promoted, it is another means of making money. ”

George and Fred were completely overwhelmed by Clark's idea, nodded their heads repeatedly, and even took notes and prepared to go back and ponder them again.

At this time, Hermione, who was in charge of counting the Hogwarts School Magazine, also walked over.

"How?" Clark looked at Hermione, who was slightly haggard, and asked with concern.

Compared with the Weasley twins, who still need to be tempered a little, Hermione, who has been trained by him for a year, can already be regarded as his right-hand man.

"It's okay, no, it's okay, it's a great thing!" Even after a busy day, Hermione's tired face still had a big smile.

She couldn't help but be happy.

"There are 143 students who come to me today to book a three-year magazine, 271 for a year, and 446 for the next issue, with a total of 490 gold galleons, 14 silver sike and 20 bronze nats."

Hermione couldn't help but lower her voice, as if she was afraid that others would hear her, but the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't hide it.

Hearing this number, the Weasley twins' breath was a little shorter, you know, the two of them only have more than twenty gold galleons in their savings now.

"I was stunned when I finished settling the score," Hermione took out Clark's magic wallet from her bosom and reached out to hand him back, "I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep well with such a large sum of money, so I will keep it for you." ”

Clark was not polite, reached for his wallet and put it in his arms.

Seeing him like this, Hermione opened her mouth to speak, wanting him to take an inventory, but Clark waved her hand, "You do things, I don't worry, just remember to do the accounts." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand again, and the drink that George had prepared for the students who rented cards suddenly flew into his hand.

"You've been busy all day, and your voice is hoarse, so let's drink saliva first."

Hermione took the cup and drank it in one gulp.

"Today is just the beginning, and those parents and adult wizards outside the school in the back must also want to subscribe, so the financial part still needs to be troubled for you to continue to manage."

Clark looked at her and asked, "Are you busy alone, do you want to find someone else to help you?" ”

Hermione shook her head when she heard this, "I would like to find someone to help too, but this involves a large amount of money, and it is a bit inappropriate to find outsiders, and Ginny has a bit of a problem with their arithmetic, and they almost miscalculated the account." ”

Clark also smiled bitterly at this time, the bottom people in Britain all advocate happy education, and they don't attach much importance to mathematics itself, and the basic education of mathematics in the wizarding world is even more lacking.

In this case, it is indeed difficult to find someone who knows the roots and knows how to count to keep accounts.

It is only a child like Hermione, who was born in a middle-class family, that has mastered good arithmetic skills.

"That's just going to bother you." Clark looked at Hermione, then at George and Fred.

"Now the Hogwarts Magazine is on the right track, but we can't relax, these methods are just some small tricks, you know, the most important thing for us to run a magazine is the content.

Only by providing good content to readers, they will be willing to continue to support, so our next task is still very serious, and the content of the next issue of the magazine must be prepared. ”

The Hermione and Weasley twins nodded solemnly, but Clarke, who had beaten them, smiled again, "Of course, that's for later, now all we have to do is cheer and success to our heart's content!" ”

Clark was right, and the next day, everyone experienced the joy of success.

Early in the morning, as they sat down at the long table enjoying breakfast, a shower of owl rain almost poured down.

Countless owls flew into the Great Hall of Hogwarts as if there was no end to it, covering almost the entire ceiling.

"Hogwarts School Hall, Mr. Clark Prewit!"

Clark saw his name on an envelope carried by an owl, and he reached for it, but a second or third owl landed in his hand.

They squeezed around, spilled the milk, touched the bread, and wanted to be the first to give him the letter.

In addition to him, Hermione, George and Fred also received a lot of letters.

The whole Gryffindor table is making a commotion, how about you? Quite a few little wizards pay attention.

"What's going on?" Ginny asked in amazement, because she was not short of money, she was now a regular employee of the school magazine, specializing in assisting Hermione.

Clark casually opened an envelope.

"It's a letter from a reader!" He happily said, "These are all of them, and it seems that readers outside of school also like our magazine." ”

"Me too." Hermione had a piece of stationery in her hand, sent by an adult witch in her thirties.

"I love your magazine, I didn't expect to see Hogwarts again after so many years of graduation. It feels like I just graduated yesterday, and I am really grateful to you for reliving the warm campus life. ”

She read the contents of the letter excitedly, her eyebrows fluttered, her face was bright, and she only felt that no matter how hard and tired it was, it was worth it.

There are many more such letters, and in addition to some thank-you letters, there are also some subscription letters from wizards outside the school.

They also enclosed the letter with coins of varying value, and in order not to miss a single person, Clark had to go straight to the long table in the auditorium.

Neville, Ginny, and Ron sorted the letters, George and Fred counted them, and Clark and Hermione kept the accounts.

In the face of an endless stream of owls, several people began to process the letters in an orderly manner, and finally they were in time for class.

"I'm tired."

George stretched, and Clark rubbed his wrist, which was sore from long hours of writing.

"We won't be like this every day, will we? There are too many letters from these readers, and some of them have been submitted. ”

Ginny said with some concern, the envelopes in front of her were piled up in three piles, all of which were the result of their sorting.

"No," Clark comforted his cousin, "we're semi-monthly, so we'll get a little more letters in the next few days, but in that case, we're going to have to hire more." ”

Hermione also added at this time, "Not only that, but we are afraid that we will have to prepare an office space, and it is not a problem to work in the auditorium like this every day." ”

Clark nodded, "I'm going to apply, not only to get an office space, but also to get a bigger one, in the future, our team will definitely grow gradually, it's best to do it in one step, save it and move later." ”

Everyone laughed at his confident look.
