v4 Chapter 141： Witch Takkyubin

The use of house-elf to deliver courier has been unanimously approved by everyone, but there has been disagreement on the issue of remuneration.

Hermione insisted that house-elves should be treated well, not only with wages, but also with vacation and sick days.

Fred and George looked at each other and giggled.

"Wages and vacations?" Fred shook his head. "House-elves don't need that!"

"Yes, they like to work." George echoed. "We can let them deliver the courier for free."

"Who said that?" Hermione retorted. "Dobby needs it, doesn't it, Dobby?"

Hermione looked at Dobby with encouraging eyes, it stood up tremblingly, and said firmly: "Yes, Dobby needs wages!"

"Okay." George raised his hand, "However, a weirdo like Dobby... ahem, I mean, it's rare to see a pixie with a personality."

"Yeah, it's their nature to work, and they like it, understand?" Fred said.

"If they're not allowed to work, they're uncomfortable, and it's an insult to them to be paid."

"So you are ready to continue enslaving them." Hermione looked dangerously.

The twins looked at William as if they were asking for help.

William raised his hand, motioning for Hermione to be quiet. He said calmly: "Of course we have to pay wages."

Hermione lifted her chin with a triumphant look.

"First of all, we have to recognize the most basic question, do you want to pay for the owl to deliver the courier?" William asked.

"Of course I do," Fred said.

Unless it is a domestic owl, such as an owl that delivers newspapers or an owl that delivers gifts, all need to be paid.

Occasionally, they will ask for dried small fish, and they will peck your arm if you don't give it.

When they see beautiful hair, they will forcibly pull out a few strands and take them back to lay a bird's nest.

This also varies from person to person, and Professor Snape never has such troubles.

The owl who tried to do such a thing was smoked to death the moment it opened its mouth.

"Since owls have to be paid, why hire house-elves to deliver couriers and not pay them?" William asked.

The twins were silent.

"There's one more thing you guys misunderstood," said William, "who said most house-elves don't get paid?

House-elves work in wizards' homes, and that's what they eat.

Although this is not equivalent labor, it is also a transaction. "

"We won't provide house-elves with food and lodging. Naturally, we have to pay wages and let them get the supplies to meet their own survival needs."

To put it bluntly, when it comes to house-elves, wizards deliberately blur the issues of pay and labor.

But isn't eating and living a reward? It's just that this kind of payment is too cheap compared to the labor of house-elves.

William decided to leave room and board alone and let the house-elves figure it out on their own. Then wages are not the problem.

It is impossible for any wizard to say: I don't care about food and accommodation, and I don't give money for work!

So will William lose money? of course not.

House-elves are a kind of labor resource. They use magic to do other things, which can create more residual value than housework!

"Then how are their wages calculated?" Qiu asked after thinking for a while. "That's a lot of money."

"It's very simple. Since it's express delivery, it's as good as Owl's delivery price for the time being." William said.

"That's not enough for a house-elf to survive!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Certainly enough," William explained, "House-elves are not like owls who can only deliver once a day.

They can Apparate, let's not talk about it, let's say send it to London.

The base price of the market is five nut, and you have to pay extra for overloading.

A house elf, using Apparition, can run at least fifty orders a day.

That's 250 nut, 3.54 Galleons a week..."

"Enough." Dobby rejoiced: it's too much, I'm enough for one Monday Galleon. "

Hermione stared at Dobby speechlessly.

"Hermione, we can't immediately improve the treatment of house elves to a very high level," William comforted.

"But it's just the beginning, and only if the price is low enough can it grab the market."

"When everyone is used to this logistics method, we will definitely increase the price, understand?"

Only grown leeks are good leeks!

It's convenient to cut it like that!

And Hermione's problem is that she's obsessed with giving the elves a good deal, giving them wages, clothes, and a comfortable environment.

But there are only slogans, no real plans.

Hermione even thought that she could rely on the little wizard to raise funds, and persuade the elf to ask for wages voluntarily...

These practices are all in vain. Neither wizards nor house-elves would respond to her.

But William was simple enough to fix it.

That is, relying on Akali Mystery Store to establish a new logistics system and liberate them from the role of family nanny.

This is a relatively modest improvement that prevents riots from happening.

"And what about their vacation?" Cedric asked.

"Of course it's 996." William said of course.

996 is a blessing from a previous life!

William made a big difference from the 24/7 house-elves.

"Too little, at least two days off a week," Hermione said.

"No! Too much!" Dobby shuddered, as if so much free time was terrifying.

"Miss... Dobby likes freedom, ma'am, but he doesn't want too much freedom, he prefers work!"

"..."

"There is also the issue of clothing." William knocked on the table and said seriously: "Dobby, I don't care what you wear when you are resting.

However, during work, work clothes must be uniform, not fancy, and must be clean. "

Dobby nodded quickly.

"I will let Mars, the elf from Nico's family, come and give you two months of training."

William even thought about the style of clothing, so let's just wear yellow work clothes.

Wearing a helmet, he looked inexplicably friendly.

It would be better to have an elf equipped with a broomWilliam is now working on transforming the wizarding world into something he is familiar with.

Maybe in a few years, in Diagon Alley, you will see investment advertisements such as Ele.me and Meituan.

If you can't change yourself, then change the world!

"What's the name of our new shop?" Hermione asked eagerly.

"It's just..." William held his chin, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "Witch's Delivery Service!"

"Remember, we're not here to make money." He stood up and waved.

"We're not interested in money!

Our goal is to ensure that house elves get reasonable wages and a good working environment.

We are not capitalists, we are real...philanthropists! "
