"What is this?" Hermione asked.

"This is an invitation from Emily to invite me to the Lights of Hope celebration." Maple said, then reached out to make an inviting gesture and said to Hermione, "Can I invite this beautiful Miss Granger to come with me to this ball?" ”

"It's an honor!" Hermione took Maple's hand and happily agreed.

Maple was so busy dealing with basilisk and Claret in the wizarding world isolated from the mundane world that his information about the Muggle world was a bit lagging. He didn't expect that in just two years, he only started at the beginning, and the Ray of Hope company has developed from scratch into a small giant company.

However, it is no wonder that it is still the era of arcade machines, and the entertainment industry and the game industry have developed rapidly under the background of peace.

Maple was only a prophetic light, and it would be impossible for Maple's Light of Hope to be as hot as it is now in the 21st century, when computers begin to enter the home and the PC game industry begins to boom.

The Muggle world is different from the closed wizarding world, in the context of gradual globalization, Ray of Hope can quickly make a name for itself in Europe after selling its products all over the United Kingdom, and then spread its sales line to the whole of Europe and even the world.

After Maple dealt with the troubles encountered by the first batch of Hope Ray companies, Emily and the others also bought some newspapers and media companies as the mouthpieces of the company at the suggestion of Maple, and also established their own legal department with the company's first batch of law students as the backbone.

At the same time, the philanthropy that was not too popular among the rich at this time was first proposed and carried out on a large scale, on the one hand, it attracted enough eyeballs to increase the company's influence, and on the other hand, it gave the public a favorable image in public opinion.

Although in a few decades, the middle and low-level people in Europe and the United States will not be able to obtain the real so-called rights of democracy and freedom. But the number of people is huge, as long as it can arouse enough repercussions among the masses and create strong enough public opinion pressure, it will allow the Light of Hope Company, which does not have enough assistance in the government departments, to have the ability to counteract government officials who want to take advantage of them.

However, although under Maple's suggestion, they did not ask Maple for help again this year, Emily and they also solved a series of troubles encountered by the Light of Hope company perfectly. It's just that in the process of rapid development, various problems have begun to be exposed within the Light of Hope.

The rapid growth has led to a shortage of talents in the company, and the quality of the absorbed personnel has begun to compete for power and profit within the company.

But these Maple didn't plan to help, and Maple, who was just a little dick in his previous life, wasn't very good at these things.

Maple will only have a simple and crude one-size-fits-all approach, and as long as Emily is okay with Maple's approval, he will leave it to them.

It is rare that Emily and several other management from the bottom have not forgotten their original intentions, the orphans who abandoned the orphanage after becoming rich, and the Light of Hope University that Maple proposed not to set a threshold for the poor.

In this case, Maple naturally did not allow the latecomers to occupy the magpie's nest, drive Emily and the others away, destroy the company, and waste Maple's hard work.

After receiving the invitation letter from Emily herself, Maple was immediately relieved that everything in the company was still under her control, and there were no serious problems that could get out of control.

Reading the letter sent by Emily with the invitation, Maple learns that the company's game is working with an anime company to produce an anime adapted from the game, and the banquet where Maple receives the invitation is a celebration party after the two companies have reached a cooperation.

Maple feels that today's Light of Hope company is very similar to the later Du Niang, and now the company's cash flow should be extremely rich, but if you are immersed in the current achievements, the Light of Hope is likely to follow in the footsteps of Du Niang.

Money in the secular world doesn't mean much to Maple, so as an outsider, Maple can always stay awake, but I don't know if Emily can do it.

Maple didn't know if Emily and the others were always aware of the crisis, and if they didn't, Maple felt the need to remind them.

The mode of lying down to collect money cannot last, and the drunken dream of dying will also fall silent in the end, and will finally be forgotten by the industry.

The University of Hope has only just been established, and some philanthropic models will continue to lose money for the foreseeable future, but Maple doesn't want to let it fall through. Maple can feel that after his dream is realized, the Light of Hope University is really established and continued according to his original vision, and the countless sense of accomplishment gained from it can continue to sublimate Maple's soul in the future.

So as the Ray of Hope company, which supports the main funding of Ray of Hope University, Maple will never allow it to fall.

The company is now only supported by one product, and once the popularity of the product has passed, the Light of Hope company may begin to lose stamina. On the one hand, Maple felt it was time to remind Emily to start working on new titles once the current card game was on track.

On the other hand, the company can improve the ecology around the product, just like Alibaba, the new technology developed when improving the product ecology will also become the company's new product.

PC games are obviously more comfortable to play than offline games, and the company can naturally start to invest in research on home computers and server technology, and in this day and age, Emily and their investment now may be able to get a head start in the hands of the world's richest man in the future.

"It's amazing that Mr. Weasley has won the Grand Prix in the Daily Prophet!" Maple said.

"yes, I heard Ron say that Mr. Weasley is going to take the family on a trip to Egypt." Hermione lowered her head and continued to flip through the Daily Prophet.

It wasn't until Ron's father won the jackpot that Hermione noticed the Daily Prophet, the only newspaper in the wizarding world, and Hermione began to subscribe to the Daily Prophet, a newspaper that knew the dynamics of the wizarding world in Britain, and she even ordered the previous issues of the newspaper that she hadn't read before.

"It just so happens that we can travel abroad with our aunts and uncles, after we have attended this banquet that Emily invited. Which country do you think we should go to? Maple remembered that Hermione and her parents went to France at the same time that the Ron family went to Egypt, and Maple thought it would be good to go out with Hermione once in a while, but it was too boring to stay in England.

"Okay, let's go to France!" Hermione said that she didn't mention going to Egypt either, with Ron, after all, it was a gathering of their Weasleys, and she and Maple still couldn't bother.

"Okay, I'll go tell my uncle and aunt." Not long after Maple left, Hermione soon heard her father's hearty laughter from the living room.

Hermione was happy when she sensed that Maple was having a good time with her parents, but her smile stopped abruptly when she looked down at the newspaper in her hand.

"Rita Skeeter!" Hermione frowned at the name.

After flipping through the previous issues of the Daily Prophet's newspaper, Hermione quickly came across Rita Skeeter's report on the Hogwarts unicorn. Hermione flipped through the front and back of the paper, but found no mention of her and Maple's successful contract for a unicorn.

Throughout the newspaper pages, Rita Skeeter only mentioned one name, Harry Potter.

Harry was a good friend of Hermione's, and Rita Skeeter wouldn't be angry if she had written a good story about Harry. Just serious things, such as Harry's wonderful Patronus Charm at the Unicorn Pact Gala, Rita Skeeter only used a small amount of pen and ink, and she spent a lot of time choreographing Harry's daily life. A good documentary report was written by her as a gossip weekly, and such a report was actually published in the Daily Prophet, and it was given such a large space, which really made Hermione, who originally had great expectations for the Daily Prophet, suddenly a little disappointed in this newspaper.

Then Hermione's brow furrowed even deeper when she flipped through another newspaper.

Inside Hogwarts, Hermione had no idea about the unicorn pact event held by the Ministry of Magic outside the school.

She had no idea that only one person had succeeded in the contract event organized by the Ministry of Magic.

Immersed in peace for too long, the wizarding world is surprisingly weak. The reason why the unicorn agreed to Dumbledore's contract with the wizard was to seek the protection of the wizard, and they naturally refused to agree to the contract when they encountered weak chickens with weak strength.

But the people of the pure-blood family with good strength are all dark wizards, and unicorns will not approve of it. As a result, except for some wizards who did not come forward, the Ministry of Magic only succeeded in contracting a unicorn, which was worse than the students of Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic was really disgraced.

The Ministry of Magic was reluctant to let the truth about the unicorn incident in Hogwarts be known to the public, and Rita Skeeter's article came at the right time to serve as a good fig leaf for the Ministry.

The Daily Prophet's audience is still very wide, although it has a powerful magic that is unmatched by secular people, but the speed of information transmission in the wizarding world is not as fast as that of the Muggle world, which makes the Ministry of Magic, which holds the lifeblood of the Daily Prophet, fool many people in the wizarding world through this ostrich posture.

Comparing the two articles, the clever Hermione seemed to understand the doorway, but she didn't like the attitude of the Ministry of Magic very much.

Harry's birthday was approaching, as Dursley's company had previously secured several collaborations with Rays of Hope with Maple's help.

Because of this relationship, the Dursleys now have a good attitude towards Harry, and they didn't even lock up Harry's wand, spellbook, and broomstick when Harry came home from vacation.

Maple planned to help Harry before going to France with Hermione, and asked Emily to give Dursley another project, so that Dursley should directly agree to sign Harry's Hogsmeade application form, and as for whether Harry would flatter his aunt, Maple was not going to pay attention.
