Chapter 387： Draw a pie

Chapter 387 Drawing a pie

On weekend morning, as soon as Albert arrived at the Gryffindor table to have breakfast, he was blocked by Truman and others. The Hufflepuff prefect was very dissatisfied with the progress of the popularity of wizard cards and hoped that Albert could get it. Come up with reasonable solutions.

 The copying of wizard cards is too slow and requires a lot of time and energy. It is far from meeting the needs of other club members. Many club members have already complained to him about this matter.

"Before the wizard cards are truly formed, I will not be manufacturing them on a large scale, nor do I have the equipment or energy." Albert said calmly, "If you think the speed is too slow, I suggest you find someone to help copy the wizard cards. Give some money. For example, if you help copy a wizard card, how many Nats are given? A set of wizard cards only requires a few Sickles. Those senior students who have spare time should be willing to help copy and make a small amount of money. .”

Truman thought about it carefully and felt that this idea was feasible.

After Truman left, Fred, who was eating grilled sausage and frowning, complained, "This is not fair to us. The three of us helped get so many wizard cards, and asking for hard work is not excessive at all. "

"You are working for yourself, not for others." Albert looked at Fred, who was holding a sausage in his mouth and speaking slurred words, and asked, "Have you ever seen any boss who pays himself a salary? ?”

The three of them all frowned and thought. Although they thought Albert's words made sense, they still felt that something was wrong.

"Now, the wizard cards have not yet been formed, and you start selling them for money. Aren't you cheating others and yourself?" Albert lowered his voice to a level that only a few of them could hear. "Once the reputation of the club is ruined, the club will lose money." It will be gone soon."

"But…"

“We will definitely make money from selling card packs, decks and premium cards in the future. Before that, we need to build our wizard card and make it more formal, rather than focusing on the small money.”

“That’s a lot of money,” George muttered.

There are a bunch of members in the Wizard Card Club. If the Wizard Cards require money to buy, they can earn a small bag of Galleons.

This is indeed not a small amount of money for the Weasley brothers who have empty pockets.

However, after a few people glared at Albert again, they obediently shut up.

"The Wizard Card will bring us continuous Galleons in the future, instead of harvesting a wave now and making things a mess. You should take a longer-term view. The Wizard Card will become our first gift after graduating from school. Work, before that, we'd better complete the rules and wizard cards thoroughly, and we also need to have a sufficient number of groups."

"I think Albert is right." Li Jordan actually didn't understand what Albert was talking about, but he felt that even though Albert was willing to invest money in wizard cards after graduation, he would never let it happen. He had lost money himself, and he had never seen Albert make a loss-making business, not to mention, he had never seen Albert lose money.

Since you don’t understand, just follow the people who do understand and sneak away behind them. Moreover, Albert is willing to take them to play together. Lee Jordan still trusts Albert.

Fred and George looked at Lee Jordan speechlessly, but didn't say anything.

 They do want to make money.

 There is no other way, people are going crazy because of poverty.

"Those students who find someone to copy the cards will not target us even if they complain in the future, because we only provide free templates." Albert said mysteriously: "And there is a saying... free is the best. Expensive, I know you don’t understand, but trust me, you will understand in the future.”

 The three of them looked at Albert in confusion, and nodded in understanding.

Albert glanced at Ron, who had just sat over and wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"What are you talking about."

"The future development path of the Wizard Card Club." Albert didn't hide it. He smiled and took out a notebook from the leather bag of the Transformed Lizard, which contained a blueprint for the future development of the Wizard Card.

The three of them gathered together to look through the notes, and their faces soon showed unconcealable astonishment, because they saw Albert's overall plan for the wizard card.

 The current wizarding cards can only be considered in their infancy. Albert's goal is to have a large enough number of loyal fans of the wizarding cards and completely complete the wizarding cards before they graduate from Hogwarts.

 After they graduate from Hogwarts, they can start taking their first steps.

 Completely promote the Wizard card and then sell random card packs to make the game popular in the British wizarding community.

After the wizard card becomes famous in the magical world, he will have his own tavern, similar to the stillborn board game store in his previous life, and maintain a series of activities, and Albert's target is the Leaky Cauldron Bar. . And the income they have will change from selling wizard cards to selling wizard cards and advertising space.

 The last step is to open a similar franchise store or open a branch, but this is also the most difficult step and is still very far away from now.

 It turns out that Albert’s development plan for the Wizard Card has already been arranged. Although the three of them felt it was a bit incredible, they felt that Albert would succeed. He was in the process of initially accumulating popularity. There was no doubt that Albert was doing very well, and a large number of students had already joined the Wizard Card Club.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, the three of them admire Albert's approach.

Lee Jordan did not look that far ahead with the Wizarding Cards, and his goal was simply to make them popular among Hogwarts students.

The situation is similar for Fred and George. Their joke shop is also mainly focused on Hogwarts students. However, Albert's plan for wizard cards has involved the entire British wizarding world, and even the world.

Although there is a suspicion of turning the pie into a cake, people really need to have a dream. If you don’t even have a dream, you are just like salted fish.

Of course, Fred, George and Lee Jordan didn't know that Albert's wish was not as great as they thought. He just wanted to find some friends to help him open a company, help him make money, and achieve the so-called "win-win situation." ".

 With money, you can do what you want to do without any worries in the future.

However, this seemingly grand blueprint really shocked the three of them.

“Then what do you think we should do for our joke shop in the future?” Fred and George looked at each other, and finally decided to seek Albert’s opinion.

“You can divide your business into different areas, and finally take the magic goods route.” Albert thought for a moment and said, “The joke shop can indeed make you a lot of money. However, you need to keep in mind that most students are not wealthy.”

 The three of them did not speak and continued to listen.

“What really makes money is not the joke props, but this thing.” Albert shook his protective bracelet and said, “Dark magic defense is the real money-making field.”

"After the store opens, I will help you get some interesting things and expand the product categories. There is no future just selling joke props." Albert reminded with a smile.

"Interesting thing? What interesting thing?" Fred couldn't help but ask.

“This.” Albert took out two metal cards from the deformed lizard skin bag and handed them to Fred and George.

 “What is this?” Fred asked in confusion.

 “Correspondence card.”

 “Communication card?” the three of them repeated.

"Write on it and the writing will appear on the other card." Albert noticed the puzzled looks of the three people and said with a smile, "This thing costs ten galleons."

 “Ten galleons?”

The three of them stared at the metal card dumbfounded, unable to understand why this thing was so expensive.

 “Do you know who this thing is going to be sold to?” Albert asked with a smile.

 “Sold to whom?” Fred and George asked in unison.

 “Couple?”

This time, Li Qiaodan's mind was running very fast. "As long as they have this thing, they don't need to write letters to each other anymore. They can contact each other directly through the communication card?"

"I don't think they will buy it." Fred suddenly said, ten galleons is too expensive.

 “They’ll copy you and do it themselves.”

"They can't do it." Albert shook his head and said, "This involves advanced use of the transformation spell."

Perhaps, students who have mastered the Transformation Spell can make something similar, but when communicating, both people must be able to use the Transformation Spell. More importantly, even if both parties can use the Transformation Spell, can they fully present the text? It’s hard to say.

“Sell a pair and you can keep 20% of it.” Albert said with a smile, “There should be a lot of lovers in the school. How many Galleons you can earn depends on your ability.”

 “It’s so dark.”

 “But…we like it.”
