Chapter 119: Back to the hut
"So, how did you turn the distribution right into the sole distribution right, and fool people into employees?"
Gemma was shocked when she heard the new news Luke had told her. Looking at Luke, who claimed to have no talent for business, he didn't know what to say for a while.
The corners of Luke's mouth, who heard this question, twitched: "You may not believe it...... These are the conditions he himself gives. ”
Strictly speaking, what Luke said was not a lie, after all, these conditions were indeed promised by Lane himself. Luke was just doing a little bit of guidance on the side.
For example, "a big group to be established but a researcher", "everyone will be a family in the future, and this group is to buy special products for everyone" and so on.
After saying that, Len said that he didn't know much about this, but he was good at researching it, not only the portkey, but also the magic spell research.
Luke didn't know if there was water or not in this very good way, but it was easy for a researcher to fool a rabbit.
Gemma looked at Luke's somewhat delicate face, and knew that this matter might not be the same as she thought. But now I don't have to worry about it. It's not a bad thing after all.
And Gemma was greatly relieved.
"When I was discussing with Old Lance just now, I found that we said that there are a lot of industries, but the things sold by these industries are not very competitive. It looks like the scale is not small, but there is no ability to make it big at all. Gemma looked at Luke and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you have convinced Ryun, although it is something that cannot be sold on the table, but this special portkey can help us occupy a complete market after all." ”
Luke listened to Gemma's words and said with some surprise, "You really went to find all those Muggle books as I said." ”
Gemma rolled her eyes at Luke and said, "I'm half-blood, okay." Although I haven't had any contact with the Muggle world for many years, some memories from my childhood are still there, and some common sense is still there, so of course I don't have so much rejection. ”
Half-blood wizards, because of their cultivation in school for so many years, naturally have a greater or lesser rejection of the Muggle world. It is said that these years have been fine, and for some time before, after half-blood wizards graduated from Hogwarts, they were reluctant to have any contact with the Muggle world because of the influence of their classmates and even some teachers.
There are even cases where they have cut off their relationship with their father or mother.
It was one of the craziest eras for pure-blood worship. But this trend of thought, for now, is only dormant.
And now, Gemma can take the initiative to learn Muggles, but in the eyes of the mainstream of the wizarding world, it can be said that it is quite deviant.
"Very good, keep it up, learn more, anyway, you can still learn now, in the first few years, we don't make any money, you try to combine some of the knowledge you have learned from the Muggle world with the reality of the wizarding world."
Luke didn't think that the methods of operation of the companies in the Muggle world could be swept away in the wizarding world. No matter what kind of experience you have, you can't copy it. No two leaves are the same in the world.
Gemma nodded, although she didn't understand the truth very well, but she also knew that Luke's words were not aimed at harming her.
"I see, by the way," Gemma suddenly remembered something, and quickly said to Luke, "Let me go to his internship before the Squib you arranged for me to be active in the Muggle world, and see how this is practiced......"
"That's what I arranged, too."
Luke interrupted Gemma before she could finish. Looking at the embarrassed look on Gemma's face, Luke was helpless, but not surprised.
"Just go, you go and see the Muggle world now, don't be like those old hats, lying in the pile of old papers all day looking for your honor."
"I'd love to have some contact with Muggles, what else would you not want?"
This isn't the first time Luke has put on an unquestionable look in front of Gemma. But it was the first time that he took himself out as an example, and it can be said that he directly scolded many nobles.
But Luke had a point, he wasn't ashamed of being in contact with a Squib, and the rest of his men wouldn't be ashamed of it, no matter how reluctant.
After all, the boss of your family is like this in that kind of honorable capacity, are the people under you more noble than your boss's identity?
It is true that some noble-born courtiers may not look down on the boss who was born recklessly. But if this boss is stronger than you, has a stronger background than you, and has a bigger fist than you, after being fully crushed, it seems that there is no room for him to be strong.
"Okay, I'll say yes. In the last half semester, I will apply to study abroad in advance. Let's go there and learn first. ”
Gemma also agreed very happily, if she has no reason to object, and this matter does not touch the bottom line, then it is definitely much better to agree happily than to win the battle after a useless entanglement.
Luke nodded, then thought for a moment before speaking, "If you can, let Raymond show you more of the current Muggle world." ”
Luke didn't say much, but looking at his expression, it seemed to be quite helpless.
Gemma didn't quite know the reason for Luke's expression. But she nodded and said, "I will." ”
Luke let out a sigh.
It is much harder to make wizards open their eyes to the world than those seen in history in previous lives. After all, he's just a kid.
Take your time, there's still a long way to go.
"Have you discussed everything with Old Lance? I'm not going to sign a vassal pact with them this time. Really troublesome, and also brought a couple of drag oil bottles. I don't know when I'll think about terminating this contract again. ”
Luke doesn't alike working with the Reims family. But that doesn't mean he doesn't dislike the Lance family.
When you can use it, you will come over and rush to be a vassal or even a subordinate. When you can't use it anymore, you find a way to terminate the contract. No matter how hard it is, it is difficult for such a family to say that others are favorable.
Gemma noticed the old Lance behind her, who had discussed some things with Lane Kane, and also noticed the embarrassed look on the old Lance's face, and knew that it was Luke who was giving old Lance eye medicine, saving him from pulling his hind legs and making a trip.
So she also echoed and said: "Well, it's almost been discussed, after all, it's just a few small things, and without the help of the Lance family, it's just a few more years of effort." We're all young, we're still long, and we can afford to wait. ”
Old Lance became more and more embarrassed the more he listened to it, but the expression on his face did not change in the slightest. It's just that this little bit of mockery is not worth his blushing face for this.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Luke didn't give him any more chance.
"Then let's go first. I didn't expect things to settle so quickly. I thought there were so many important things to deal with. Luke shook his head as he looked at the darkening sky, then turned to old Lance and Lynn and said, "If you don't have anything else to say, we'll go first." ”
Old Lance immediately handed over the contract in his hand, and then said with a smile: "There is still a contract left to sign." ”
Luke took the pile of parchment, shook it for a moment, and tapped it with his wand. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he nodded and asked Gemma again, "You have checked all the contents, right?" ”
"The content is fine."
Gemma said calmly.
Luke didn't expect anything to be wrong, he was more worried about the contract itself than the content of the contract.
After confirming that everything was correct, Luke did not hesitate, turned the parchment to the last page, took the quill from the inkwell, and wrote his name in elegant style.
After that, the golden light flashed on the contract, and the contract was completed.
Of course, although the strength of this contract is very high, it is not comparable to the previous vassal contract. In other words, the cost of terminating the contract will be much lighter.
Luke is happy to see this happen. He also didn't have much trust in the Reims family. It's good that everyone is using each other now.
After signing, Luke threw the pen back into the inkwell and handed the old man the object.
Old Lance saw everything in his eyes, and knew a little more about Gemma's place in Luke's heart.
"Won't you stay for a meal? I've got a sumptuous dinner ready here. ”
Old Lance's tone was very sincere.
In fact, he did want to leave Luke for dinner.
It's not that he's talking about it, but, as far as he knows, Luke really doesn't have any family. Unless he returns to Hogwarts now, he will most likely be alone tonight Christmas Eve.
And Luke waved his hand as expected, "No, I still have things to do at home." Speaking of which, you're just here to accompany Gemma along the way. ”
Everyone was silent, but Luke got up and walked in the direction of the door.
"Wait!"
Lynn, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, caught up with Luke, and pulled a new ring from his pocket.
It's exactly the same ring I used when I came here.
Obviously, it's also a portkey.
"Your address is not a secret in circles. I'll have one for you after I found out. ”
As he spoke, he handed a ring with a string attached to it to Luke's hand.
After Luke pinched the rope and took it, Lane spoke again, "This is my newly invented portkey variety, it can set up two locations, the first one is set by me, which is near your house. ”
Speaking of this, he said with some annoyance: "The degree of magic protection in the forest around your house is too high. I can't get close. After barely entering, the door key is also unusable. So this portkey can only take you outside of the forest in your home. ”
"As for the second location, you can just look at the setting yourself, and the first one is a fixed location. The second one can be changed temporarily. Just follow the normal steps to make a door key. You know how to do it. ”
Luke nodded, he didn't know how to make the portkey yet, but it shouldn't take much effort to learn.
In this half semester of school, he has completed a lot of small side tasks. There were a lot of spell cards rewarded, but he didn't open them. If you really need it, you can gamble on it.
Lane nodded, and said again, "This portkey can only be used 5 times, which is the limit of what I can do now." ”
"It's already good."
Luke said very seriously, compared to the normal portkey that can only go back and forth between two locations and has a lot of restrictions, this portkey can go to two different locations, which is already very powerful.
The limit on the number of times it can be used, it may be the structure, it may be the material. Think of a way to increase the number of times as much as possible, even if it can't be solved. That's the researcher's job.
Luke glanced at Lyon and said with a smile, "It seems that you do have a talent for research. ”
Ryn straightened his chest proudly, then he turned to Gemma and said, "I'll make you a portkey too." The one-time kind, send you home. ”
"No, I have Floo Net at home."
Gemma shook her head, rejecting Ryn's kindness. In fact, Luke also has a Floo network at home, but if Lane does it, then the difference between using a door key and using a Floo network is not too big.
But if you want to make the portkey, the two of you have to discuss where the family lives, and if Ryn hasn't been there, you have to find the closest place possible. It's too much trouble than Floo.com.
The excitement on Laien's face eased suddenly, and he muttered "How can the Floo Network have a portkey to use", but he didn't say anything more.
Luke looked at the crowd with a smile, and then said softly, "Goodbye, everyone, for a glorious tomorrow." ”
Gemma, the old Lance Lane had a straight look on his face.
Although they hadn't heard Luke say anything like that. But what to do now, they are all clear.
"Yes, for a glorious tomorrow."
Luke grabbed the ring and disappeared in place.
In the next moment, he saw his own forest that was extremely familiar.
Eerie, dark, and smells of danger.
Kindness...... A familiar feeling.
So he took a deep breath of the scented air, and strode into the forest.
As soon as Luke stepped into the small forest, he felt a burst of cheers.
It was as if the forest was welcoming him back.
In fact, it was not much different from the forest welcoming his return, and when Luke approached his hut, he saw snakes active around the hut.
They were not defeated by the cold winter, in this period of time when Luke was away. They had been waiting here, waiting for Luke's return.
They were overjoyed and cheered at the sight of Luke, but they didn't rush up in droves.
Instead, he lowered his head and showed a gesture of surrender.
But their excitement did not diminish at all.
Luke felt his nose sour.
Damn, it feels like home.
