Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 218 Start

After hearing Mike's voice, Harrison froze suddenly, lowered his head and reluctantly returned to the podium.

Mike's eyes swept back and forth on his face, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and he couldn't help asking, "Did we meet somewhere?"

"Boss, we met in Diagon Alley at the beginning of the month."

The expression on Harrison's face was very complicated, and there was a little bit of resignation in his helplessness, which made him look a little pitiful.

It was only at this moment that Mike realized that this Harrison was the kind person who reminded him of a robbery in Diagon Alley.

"Hahaha, it turned out to be you! We are really destined!" Mike laughed loudly, and patted Harrison on the shoulder vigorously while saying, "You are very good, I think you still have room for improvement!"

Harrison's figure is not tall, standing next to Mike who is about 1.7 meters tall is about the same height. Although he is still very nervous at this time, it is also true that he is so "intimately" patted on the shoulder by the boss Mike. He could only force a fake smile to accompany him.

Mike didn't care how fake the smile on his face was, and then said to everyone in the audience: "Do you know why Harrison was the first to come up to receive salary? Because he is our excellent employee this week, piece bonus The first place in the whole factory, reaching 5 gold Galleons!
So, in recognition of Harrison's outstanding contribution to the Dolphin Magic Drink Factory, I decided to give him an extra bonus of 1 Galleon as a reward! "

As soon as Mike's voice fell aside, Shu Ke snapped his fingers again, and a golden Galleon flew into the hands of Harrison who couldn't believe it.

When everyone in the audience saw that Harrison really got the Galleons, it was a huge sum of 14 Galleons in total. Greed for money overwhelmed their fear again, which made them regain some vitality and started talking.

Most of the people among them looked expectantly at the pile of Galleons on the stage, because they would also be on the stage later and receive their own wages from it.

But there are still a small group of people who still maintain a distrustful attitude towards Mike, and these people are still lobbying others to join them.

Mike knew that it would take time to deal with these people, and with a real hammer, in the end, most people would fall into his arms again as time went by, and he would not show mercy to the very few who were hopeless. .

"Okay, from now on, the person with the most piecework bonus every week will get a bonus of one Galleon, so you don't have to be jealous of Harrison." Mike waved his hand, "It's getting late, continue to roll the roll!"

Following Mike's order, the people whose names were called in the audience ran up to the podium happily, and after receiving the coins given by Shuke and Beta, they ran back to their original positions excitedly, and began to talk to each other. The companions around share their joy.

And those who haven't been called for the time being, looked at the bragging looks of those who had received the money, and scratched their heads anxiously.

Finally, when the last person returned to the team after receiving his salary, Mike came to the center of the podium again.

At this moment, the attitude of everyone in the audience has changed greatly under Mike's kindness and power.

Originally, these people didn't have much respect for Mike and the Weasley brothers, but this was normal, because both Mike and Weasley were underage wizards.

If you were anyone, you wouldn't be convinced if your boss was an underage kid.

It's different now, Mike has fully demonstrated his ability (powerful strength, huge wealth) to these employees, and used it to conquer most of them.

Mike looked at the silent crowd in the audience and nodded in satisfaction.

This is a good start, no matter how many people below pretend to obey him, he doesn't care, because human beings will form habits, and once there are some things for the first time, there will be countless times.

"I believe that everyone has already received their own wages, so now that the happy things are over, I will start to tell some bad news." Mike's expression suddenly became serious, "First of all, it is about the dress, I know everyone When working, it is inevitable that some materials will be stained with stains, so everyone is working in their old clothes, but this looks really ugly, so I prepared uniform work clothes for everyone!"

After that, Mike took out another bag of the traceless stretching spell, and poured out a large number of uniforms from it.

It is said to be a uniform, but in fact these are casual clothes that are common in the Muggle world, and the color is uniform black.

The only difference is that the words "Los Santos No Liability Infinite Magic Company" are printed on the clothes, pants and shoes.

Everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief seeing the styles of these clothes.

They are all Muggle-born wizards, so they have a deep understanding of the Muggle world. To be honest, they are really afraid that Mike will take out a lot of work clothes worn on the construction site and wear them for them.

"Next, judging from your performance today, your behavior is very lax, and you don't have me as the boss in your eyes!" Mike took out a piece of parchment and continued, "So I decided that in the future, the employees in our factory will Must abide by the following regulations:

When you see the boss, that is me, you have to salute!

Don't talk while eating in the cafeteria!
From now on, I will wear work clothes all the time in the factory!
……

The above are all the rules, if you violate the rules, you will be fined!For the time being, the amount of this fine is set at 1 silver xike a time! "

Mike Balabala said a lot of rules, and the faces of everyone in the audience turned black.

"Um, boss. I think..."

An employee in the audience couldn't help trying to persuade Mike, but before he finished speaking, Mike interrupted him: "Don't you think! I want me to think! You have to remember, I am your boss, You must obey my orders!"

Mike directly silenced the employee, but Mike seemed still not satisfied, and then said: "Oh right! You didn't raise your hand or salute when you spoke just now, and you will be fined 1 silver Sickle, Fred. Write it down for me."

Now the employee's face was completely dark.

Mike's actions undoubtedly aroused the dissatisfaction of many people below. A young man with a childish face, as if he had just graduated from Hogwarts, shouted loudly: "I quit! Your place is like a prison! No! Azkaban is ten thousand times better than here!"

His roar was particularly obvious in the silent auditorium, and the eyes of everyone present were attracted to him in an instant.

However, before Mike could speak, a middle-aged wizard stepped forward and grabbed the young man, and whispered in his ear: "Calm down! Don't be impulsive! This is already for those of us who have no skills and no background." The best jobs Melon wizards can find! You will regret it later if you are impulsive now!"

The expression on the young man's face froze when he heard the words, and it obviously eased a lot.

"Hmph! If you don't want to do it, you can resign! Anyway, some people want to do it, one more than you is not too many, and one less than you is a lot!" Mike said with a cold snort, "Anyone who doesn't want to do it can stand up, just today After the salary is paid! You can take your salary and get out together!"

The expression on the young man's face became restless again, and he clenched his fists tightly.The strange thing is that he didn't take the next step, but silently lowered his head, it seemed that he had listened to what the middle-aged wizard said just now.

The reactions of the other people around were similar, the expressions on the faces of the younger ones were not very good-looking, while those of the older ones were more helpless and indifferent.

They are used to it.

Mike looked at the reaction of everyone in the audience and smiled with satisfaction.

Fortunately, there are no post-85s and post-90s in this group of people. If it were the young post-90s in the previous life, if Mike dared to yell at them like that, they would have resigned a long time ago.

"Okay, the matter is decided like this! You all line up one by one to get your uniforms, and then those who should work go back to work, and those who should rest go back to rest!"

After leaving these words, Mike stood aside, and then the employees in the audience came up to get their uniforms.

Everyone who received the uniform would salute Mike according to Mike's demonstration when they passed by Mike, and slapped his heart with his right hand.

Mike noticed that most of these people were extremely stiff when saluting, as if they were a little embarrassed.But a few people did it very naturally, and a very few even hammered their chests to make a muffled sound. Mike couldn't help taking a breath when he saw it.

Mike silently recorded the looks of these people, and people who can flatter like this must be cultivated well.

After the meeting was dismissed after watching everyone get their uniforms, Mike returned to the meeting room, took out the pen and parchment and started writing letters.

Mike had to write a lot of letters, among which, apart from the supply price list for various bars, restaurants and snack bars, the main one was the start-of-action letter to Lockhart and Lita Skeeter.

Now that Dolphin Magic Drink has a stable source of supply, it's time to start advertising and distribution.

Lockhart and Lita Skeeter's soft papers have been written, and Mike has read them and is very satisfied.

As long as Mike's letter reaches the two of them, the report about Dolphin's magic drinking will appear on the front page of the Daily Prophet early the next morning.

At the same time, Lockhart will also start a new book pair sale.

On the other hand, Mike hasn't been idle these days. He has traveled to almost every store in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade to persuade their store managers to buy Dolphin's magic drink.

Of course, except for some stores that had already started to cooperate with Mike and the Weasley brothers, the other stores rejected Mike's request without hesitation.

Mike was not disappointed about this, and he asked these stores to post the magic posters of Dolphin's magic drink for a long time.

In this regard, these merchants originally did not intend to agree, but under Mike's money offensive, most of the merchants finally agreed to Mike's request.

This is enough, and to be able to do this, Mike is already very satisfied.

He could even imagine that the day after the letters in his hand were mailed out, every wizard who came to the wizarding places like Diagon Alley or Hosmeade would see the overwhelming posters of Dolphin's magic drink , and those wizards who stay at home and can't come out will also know Dolphin's name from the Daily Prophet!

Dolphin Magic Drink and Los Santos Company will become household names in the British wizarding world, and the price of all this is only less than 5000 Galleons.

It just made a lot of money!

With such a large amount of publicity, Dolphin's Magic Drink will definitely become a trend in the next period of time. Coupled with its relatively expensive price, Mike can almost meet him. Items that families vie for.

At that time, those shops that had originally rejected Mike's supply request would beg Mike to sell them the goods.

Thinking so, Mike sealed all the parchments that had been written, and finally Mike came to the owl rental shop in Diagon Alley, handed these letters to the staff, and asked them to mail them immediately.

When he saw the large number of owls in the rental shop, Mike suddenly thought of the exploited old owl Errol in the Weasley family, so he directly proposed to the staff to buy an owl.

However, to Mike's surprise, the staff turned down Mike's request, and said that if Mike wanted to buy owls, he had to go to a pet store not far away to buy them. Not for sale.

Mike didn't believe a word of the staff's explanation. Judging from the attitude of wizards towards magical creatures, owls, creatures that are not even considered magical creatures, are at best expendable to wizards. It’s just a mailing tool, it’s absolutely impossible to say how much you cherish it.

The only thing that can explain the clerk's behavior is that they have a shady py transaction with the pet store.

In desperation, Mike had no choice but to go to the pet store and buy an owl that was in its prime. The clerk assured Mike that the owl had been trained, and he could start sending letters immediately after buying it home.

This further deepened Mike's suspicion that there was a py transaction between the two stores.

Mike, who was not short of money, paid the money directly, and returned to the factory with this robust owl named Carrot, and handed it over to the Weasley brothers.

The Weasley brothers are indeed representatives of the capitalists. When they learned that Mike wanted this young owl to exchange for their old owl, they agreed without the slightest hesitation. A lifetime of nostalgia for owls.

In the end, Mike could only laugh and cry and took Errol back to his home.

When Mike returned home, the sky was already dark, and at this time, many owls also brought Mike's letter to the receiver.

Lockhart and Lita Skeeter wrote to the bookstore and the Daily Prophet as soon as they read the letter, asking them to publish their books and articles as planned.

And in Diagon Alley and large wizard gathering places across the UK, the shopkeepers who received the letters also took action, putting up posters that Mike had been compared to them.

Among them, the shops in Diagon Alley are the densest, so almost the entire Diagon Alley is covered with posters.At the same time, Weasley and the others were also busy. Together with Shuke Beta, they sent the Dolphin Magic Drink to the shops that had placed orders through the Floo network.

These Dolphin magic drinks are quickly on the shelves, waiting for the guests to come the next day.
