Arms Dealers From Hogwarts

Chapter 47: If you can't get it, you'll be ruined!

  Chapter 47 is ruined if you don’t get it!

  After the game, Harry was not well.

  A feeling of sorry for the people and sorry for the audience spontaneously arises. Harry's head is low and he is completely afraid to look at other people's eyes. He is really afraid of seeing disappointment in those people's eyes.

   "Don't be sad, Harry, you are flying well." Wood who was in a bad mood comforted Harry, who was also in a bad mood.

   "But I still lost. In terms of technology and broomstick, I am worse than Jemini." Harry fell dejected.

   "Oh-that's all right." Fred waved his hand in a humble mood: "You are not the one who is less skilled than him. He can fly without a broom, let alone riding a broom."

   "We all know your skills. That guy's existence is a foul. You don't blame you for this. It's the same for Charlie." George spread his hands.

  Although everyone was comforted by everyone, Harry still couldn't adjust his mood.

On the Quidditch field, a group of Slytherin snakes surrounded Jemini in a group, chatting in excitement, and Draco exclaimed with a proud look: "I'll just say that between you It’s not just a little bit of poor strength!"

   As he said, he looked at Harry triumphantly. He looked triumphantly like the snitch he had caught.

  For winning the game, Jemini is naturally very happy, although he is not as proud as Draco.

  In the second weekend of Slytherin's victory over Gryffindor, Hufflepuff defeated Ravenclaw in the game.

However, Ravenclaw’s Kitty Hawks were not too disappointed. Their new Seeker, Qiu Zhang, is just a second-year girl. Although Quidditch is very talented, it’s better than Hufflepuff’s. Derek was still close.

  At this point, the first Quidditch season of this semester is over, and the final match between Slytherin and Hufflepuff will be held after the final exam in June of the following year.

   "Where did your broom come from?"

   "I picked it up."

  For Snape's question after the game, Jemini replied.

  Fortunately, Snape didn't embarrass him too much. After all, he had previously said not to buy a broom for Jemini, and they made a better one. At this time, it was obviously a bit unreasonable to blame Gemini if ​​he didn't tell him.

  Not to mention the ridiculous speed of the broomstick, Jemini won the game, so Snape didn’t bother with Jemini about the broomstick.

The days after the game gradually became flat. Apart from the weekly Quidditch training and night tours, nothing can make Jemini’s heart turmoil, unless Slytherin's seniors came together to make trouble for him. , Might make him a little excited.

  But it’s a pity that the Slytherin students can’t wait to offer Jemini...

  A long period of peaceful days will also be boring, and Jemini finally remembered his old profession at this time.

  Actually, from the beginning, Jemini knew very well that coming to Hogwarts would definitely affect his own money.

  There is no other reason. The population of the magical world is too small, and the economic market is too small. Searching the entire British magical world, there are few people who can eat more than tens of millions of pounds.

  Families like Malfoy may be able to get it, but it’s not that Jemini looks down on them. In the final analysis, these pure-blood families are nothing more than a foundation, and there is no good way to make money.

  The reason why he came to Hogwarts is that, on the one hand, Jemini has no room for rejection, on the other hand, it is to realize his dream of the past life.

  This is Hogwarts. It's bragging to say that you don't want to come here to go to school.

  There is a saying, after coming here, it did affect Jemini’s fortune.

  Although he is not in a hurry for so many years, the feeling of collision between ideals and money really makes Jemini feel a little uncomfortable...

  So almost—

   "I want to buy the Philosopher's Stone, can you make a price."

  It was another night of night travel, and Jemini once again met Dumbledore, who was also awake.

   "Oh ha ha... I guessed you would be interested in that thing." Dumbledore said cheerfully, "Mr. Fox, how much do you think it is worth?"

  "A stone with magical power, no matter what magical power it has, it is still a stone in essence." Jemini squeezed his chin and thought about it for a long while: "10 Nat, there can be no more."

Dumbledore seemed to be taken aback by this shameless answer. He looked at Jemini in surprise, and then slowly said: "Minerva told me that you are a very profitable child. I didn't believe it before. , Now I believe it, I think even the vampires in Eastern Europe would be ashamed and angry when they see you."

  Jemini shrugged: "Thanks for the praise."

   "But it's a pity child, that is not my property after all." Dumbledore said kindly: "It belongs to my old friend, and we have decided to destroy it."

  "The last Philosopher's Stone in human history, should it be regarded as the cultural heritage of wizards?" Jemini sighed: "In a sense, you are a crime."

   "The existence of the Philosopher's Stone will arouse people's greed. If it can really die out in history, it would be a good thing." Dumbledore said slowly.

   "It's a pity, that's a precious baby..." Jemini sighed in a daze, "If you give it to me, it will save a lot of things..."

  Dumbledore blinked: "It seems that you don't care about its ability to make the elixir, but you care about the external objects?"

  "Who wouldn't care?" Jemini spread his hands.

  It's just an elixir, not a real longevity. Just look at the appearance of Nicole LeMay in the movie-his bones are brittle.

"I guess the elixir of life should only greatly extend people's lifespan. It will definitely not be true immortality, so I pay more attention to the point of stone becoming gold. After all, money is not everything, but no money is absolutely impossible." Jie Mini spread his hands: "With money, I want to buy what I want."

"I don't really agree with this idea of ​​yours, Fox." Dumbledore felt that as the principal, he had an obligation to correct Jemini's erroneous thinking: "Love, time, health, these are all things that can't be bought with money. "

"That's right..." Jemini smiled: "But you are secretly changing the concept. Can't I have these while I have money? I don't have these and I don't have money, wouldn't it be even worse? ?"

  Dumbledore: "..."

"Money can satisfy most human desires, and when the desires are satisfied, even if they are unhappy, they will at least produce positive emotions such as happiness. In this case, you have to say that you are unhappy. That person is not insatiable. It's just hypocritical, no matter what, it's not a good thing."

  Jemini said with a chuckle: "So, I hate those guys who sit on Baoshan and yell that they are not happy every day."

  What regrets creating Ali, what does not know the beauty of his wife...

  What do you say you pretend to be?

  Donate if you regret it! If you don't know his wife's beauty, then you can force him to be ugly! Will you see if he screams at that time?

  Dumbledore was pleased and helpless.

  I am gratified that Gemini has a clear mind and will not go down the crooked road like Voldemort; what is helpless is because his mind is so clear, it is estimated that he will not go to the right path...

  Jemini was not disappointed because Dumbledore planned to destroy the Philosopher’s Stone, which is not to say that he looked away.

  It’s mainly because he can’t get it, and others don’t want to get this ugly psychology...

  If you can’t get it off, you’ll be ruined! Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie~

Of course, this ugly psychology is nothing more than self-comfort. In addition to this kind of psychology, it is more of a kind of open-mindedness. It is true that Jemini likes money, but he likes more of the sense of accomplishment when making money. , And the merchandise in the weapon store, pure wealth does not attract him much.

  So although the Philosopher’s Stone was destroyed, it was a pity for him, but if it was destroyed, it would be destroyed. It would be nice to enjoy campus life in Hogwarts quietly.

  —I am a dividing line—

  About the price of Harry Potter at the time—

  First of all, Harry Potter's background is in the early nineties, so if you feel that the price is unreasonable, you must first consider the current era!

  In the early 1990s, my dad’s salary was more than 700 a month, which was very high in our small place, but it was only about 50 pounds at the exchange rate of pound sterling at the time.

In the previous article, the price of the broken kettle bar was priced at 10, which included breakfast and dinner a day, which was about 50 yuan in RMB, which was already very high in terms of domestic prices at that time. At that time, a good guest house was only 20 or 30 yuan. Money, a hotel of fifty or sixty dollars is already a very good condition.

  Even if it’s in the UK, with a century-old shop environment like the broken cauldron bar, the convenience of magic by the wizards, 10 Westcos is not a lot at all!

  In the third book of the original book, among the Prisoners of Azkaban, Harry’s ride on the knight bus costs 14 sikes, plus three sikes for sandwiches and hot cocoa.

  The price of goods is high at first glance, but if you look closely at the place names that appear in that section, you will find one thing.

  Harry’s journey from Privet Road to the Broken Cauldron Bar is not a direct route. In just a short time, the Knight Bus ran a full circle around the UK! Bit Me is fast in a fighter jet!

  Who has ever been on a plane that costs £5?

  So in fact, I have carefully measured the prices in the magic world market in this book according to the economic situation at the time and the purpose of the items. Even if it is a little cheaper, it will not deviate too much.

  The other is the protagonist’s price of weapons.

  For example, the spider serum before, the protagonist bid 20 million pounds, some people think it is cheaper.

  In fact, not only do you think it’s cheap, but I also think that if this thing is sold for 2 billion now, someone will definitely buy it.

  But first of all, you have to know one thing, as a commodity, if it cannot be sold, then it has no value at all!

  The only value of ‘commodity’ is the money obtained after the sale.

   was sold to Reid for 20 million, because he could only put out 20 million, he was going to sell the kidney, and at most he could get an extra apple.

  After measuring the other party’s economic strength, it still has to come up with a price that the other party can't afford. At first glance, it seems quite appropriate, but it is certainly impossible to do such a thing in less than ten years of cerebral thrombosis...

  The purpose of the protagonist is to make money, not to pretend.

  Many used things are set too high, how many can afford them?

  The spider serum is only a few thousand pounds in the weapon shop. He only makes 20,000 yuan, let alone 20 million.

  PS: The spider serum was initially estimated to be too cheap. At that time, I wanted the protagonist to have a certain amount of combat effectiveness in the early stage. It was not thoughtful to consider, but it didn’t matter. Just treat it as a novice benefit. There will be serum items that will adjust the price later.

  Finally, it’s about the fact that some people think it’s too easy for the protagonist to hang up, and they can easily earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions.

  In fact, it is not.

  Let’s talk about the magic world first.

The thin population base and the small market environment prove that they cannot master too much wealth, and it is not necessarily that pure-blood families have money, nor does it necessarily mean that they are rich in tens of millions of gallons, which is unrealistic. , Maybe there are, but there are certainly not many.

  So in terms of volume, it is impossible for the protagonist to make dozens of millions of orders in the magic world, and can sell at most a curious product, such as Armstrong cyclotron jet Armstrong guns...

The second is the Muggle society. With the protagonist, it is impossible to sell arms on a large scale. I had this idea before, but it was greatly passed by my editor Penglai. The main reason was that I was worried that the river crab, and the protagonist, would not be able to interact with the government. There are transactions, no matter which country it is from, it just doesn’t work. I can only say that the water here is deep, everyone knows everything...

  The last point, I think I should make it very clear. Although Jemini is not very emotional and pays more attention to interests, he is essentially a principled, bottom line, and a person who sticks to it.

  Until now, no readers have expressed dislike for Jemini’s character, which proves that the characterization of my character is quite successful, at least very pleasing.

  And the reason why everyone likes him is not because he has a gentlemanly demeanor, a sense of humor, and at the same time has a bottom line and principles?

  The protagonist went up and puffed and killed a few Muggle rich men, and then he was a good guy on the spot. It's cool. Come and take a look. Isn't it boring?

Therefore, even if the hanging is relatively large, due to various restrictions and reductions, the protagonist may have a strong strength in the first half, but it is only relative to ordinary people. Don’t worry about strength issues, I will maintain a good balance. State.

  Above, just sauce!
