Chapter 81: The Philistine Disturbs Himself
There is nothing in the world, and mediocrity disturbs itself.
Connelly. Fudge was undoubtedly a philistine, and the way he heard Voldemort's name knew he would not be counted on in the Second Wizarding War.
Originally, he was just a clay puppet in peacetime. The various pure-blood families tacitly put him on the altar, because in the post-war years, he did not have the ability to toss.
For him, incompetence is his greatest function. Being a pastemaker, trying to restore and maintain the order that once existed, is his limit.
Kano walked out of the three-broomstick bar, and the two men behind him were whispering.
"What a kid is he? How I feel like I'm facing Dumbledore. Fudge was a little irritable.
"Minister, could it be that Dumbledore taught him these words?" Umbridge asked, pinching her throat.
"No, Dumbledore wasn't that boring. This time, he should really not be involved in the affairs of France. Fudge shook his head in denial, "He must have been beating me himself." ”
"He banged on you? He was just a thirteen-year-old. ”
"But he is also the head of the Black family and the new director of Hogwarts, both of which have weight."
Fudge asked the proprietress Mrs. Rostamer to refuel herself with another glass of whiskey and take a sip to calm down.
"It doesn't matter, Dumbledore has a lot of supporters, he wants money, he wants people, he doesn't miss Blake."
"As long as Dumbledore doesn't try to challenge my authority, then I can continue to sit in the position of Minister of Magic."
If Kano heard these words, he was afraid that he would laugh off his big teeth.
Fudge saw Dumbledore as his biggest threat, but in reality, as long as the pure-blood family nodded, he would get out of the Ministry of Magic before he went to work tomorrow, or on the knight's bus.
Leaving the bar, Kano was wandering around Hogsmeade when he saw the twin brothers standing in front of Jokowi's joke shop.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" Kano slapped them in the back.
"Kano? You're finally starting to break the school rules? It must have been Fred who patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically.
"Impossible, Fred. Kano had always been a good boy, never wandering at night or going to the Forbidden Forest, and the library was his home. George teased with a wink.
That's because Lao Tzu did a concealment, the troublemaker of you two performative personalities!
"Less nonsense, I came out today with the approval of the principal. What do you have your eye on? Kano asked.
"We're not here to buy anything, although this year we have an extra silver in our pocket money."
"We wanted to come to see the new product launch of Jokowi's joke shop, but unfortunately we couldn't get in without an invitation, so we had to take a look at the door."
Kano looked at the bustling crowd in the store strangely: "Aren't there a lot of people inside?" Invitations are hard to come by? ”
"No, as long as you spend 5 Galleons in the store, you can get an invitation. Not to mention those in the business world. Fred gestured, "But Dr. Jokowi is old, and the products he designed are a bit outdated, and we don't want to give him money." ”
"We know Kano you have money, but don't spend it for us." George added, "This is the last time we're looking forward to Jokowi's new product, if it's not satisfying..."
At this moment, there was an awkward but polite applause in the store. Trembling, Dr. Jokowi used his newly invented "stilt shoes" to turn his legs into three meters long, and his gray-haired head almost hit the ceiling.
"It's funny, haha, ha."
"yes, it's going to be a big hit... Haha, ha. ”
The people in the store tried to grin and show their "surprise" and "love" for the product.
"Getting longer again?" Fred vomited.
"Last year it wasn't longer, last year it was wider." George reminded him, "If you want to open up, at least we won the bet with Jordan." ”
"I couldn't be happier at all."
Kano couldn't help but interject: "Jokowi's name for the joke Dr. can't be Apple, right?" ”
Fred shook his head together with George. But Kano listened to their discussion, and always felt that the trembling Jokowi seemed to be copying Apple Plus, Pro and other operations, either longer or wider.
"Jokowi is old, it's so sad."
Two little wizards whose families are struggling with their living standards are standing outside the shop window and looking at the store with sad eyes as they are trying to show the effect of the product.
"Or do we do it ourselves?" George casually said, "Our idea is much better than Jokowi's." ”
"yes, why doesn't Jokowi make his legs longer and at the same time, make his feet feel itchy, and he wants to scratch but can't reach them?" Fred had no more than a diabolical idea.
Kano didn't expect that today would be the day when the idea of the two of them starting their own business germinated. It seems that the corrupt giants who are not worthy of virtue are indeed the best soil for nurturing new forces.
"But we don't have any money." The twins glanced at each other and said helplessly.
"I suspect you're playing tricks on me." Kano pouted, "You need start-up capital?" ”
The twins immediately affectionately put their arms around Kano and led him to the corner.
"You know our ghost ideas, and we will not lose money by investing." Fred and George spoke in surround voices.
"Okay, it's okay to invest, but my money doesn't come from the wind." Kano said solemnly, "In business." ”
"I'll give you fifty Galleons, and you're going to make me three mass-produced joke merchandise in two years." Kano said.
"If you do, I'll invest more. If I can't, I'll have to pay it back fifty Galleons. ”
This condition can be regarded as strict, because Kano is not ready to invest money unconditionally to the twins, and there is pressure to be motivated.
The twins looked at each other and held out their hands together.
"Deal!"
Given the twins start-up capital, Kano went to the Literati Stationery store and bought a quill pen, stationery and a sturdy stack of envelopes.
He sat down at the table in the literati house, and wrote down the story of what Fudge had just talked to him on a piece of stationery, and sealed it in an envelope. He also stopped by Duke Honey to buy a few new candies and pack them up.
Kano walked to Hogsmeade's long-distance letter office, where he sent the letters and sweets to Fleur.
Even the owls of the wizarding world are too reluctant to let them fly across the English Channel. Long-distance mail offices generally put a batch of letters together in a box made of door keys, silver flashes, mail across borders.
Then the wizards on the French side gave the letters to the owls according to tradition.
Kano walked out of the mail office with a smile on his face, realizing that he was expecting a reply.
Wake up, Kano, the letter hasn't been sent yet.
