The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 358 Persuasion (asking for subscription, asking for collection, asking for tickets)
After eating two snacks, Mrs. Weasley finally talked about the main purpose of coming today.

"Ryan, I know that with your help, their academic performance has improved a lot. But I hope their grades can be higher, so that they can enter the Ministry of Magic in the future. Not only me, Arthur also thinks so Yes. And if you open a shop, it will distract the two of them too much.”

"Well, Mrs. Weasley." Ryan thought for a while after listening to Mrs. Weasley's words, then nodded and said to her seriously. "I can understand your expectations for the two of them. As a parent, you definitely hope that your children will have a better life in the future. But with all due respect, you'd better ask your two sons what they think. Not everyone is suitable for magic Ministry work."

"But Arthur, and Percy—" Mrs. Weasley was interrupted by the twins before she could finish. "Mom, we are different from Dad and Percy. Working in the Ministry of Magic from morning to night will really smother us to death, and it may cause a lot of trouble. The salary we earn every month is not fined at the end. many."

"That's true, Mrs. Weasley." Ryan said, looking at Mrs. Weasley. "Both of them are older than me, they are almost adults. So they should have their own mature ideas, and it is not a good thing to force them to do things that they don't like, to have a career that they don't like. "

After Ryan finished speaking, he saw the twins nodding vigorously, with a look of strong approval on their faces.

Mrs. Weasley probably wasn't very firm about twins on that front, so she let that go and moved on to another concern of hers. "But they just make stuff for kids. It's okay to go to school now, how can they support themselves after graduation?"

It seems that parents all over the world are similar, especially when faced with their children engaging in some emerging industries or special industries, they always feel that a stable job is better for their children's future.

"You don't need to worry about this, Mrs. Weasley." Ryan analyzed carefully. "Fred and George are very talented in inventing new magic toys and even magic props, and even they have mastered the basics of alchemy in a very short period of time. In this case, the prospect of opening a magic prop shop is very bright. "

After hearing this sentence, Mrs. Weasley's face began to soften.Ryan hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "For example, there is a store called Zuko's Joke Shop in Hogsmeade. Because the owner Zuko is old, the things in it have not been updated in the past ten years. Even so The Galleons that this store earns every day may be equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Magic. I want to use Fred and George's newly developed things plus some of my works to surpass Zuko's jokes It’s not a very difficult thing to shop.”

"Let's talk about it." Ryan spread his hands. "As a Muggle-born wizard, I am willing to invest most of my wealth in the wizarding world in them. As their mother, please give them more trust."

"Have you really thought it through? Have you really decided to open a magic product store as your future goal in life?" After listening to Ryan's persuasion, Mrs. Weasley looked at the twins seriously and asked. "It's hard for your family to help you with this. So are you ready to face the difficulties and challenges alone?"

"Yes, Mom. We have already thought about it." The twins looked at each other at this time, and then said in unison.When these words were said, the faces of the two showed unprecedented seriousness and determination.

"Very well, remember your choices today. As a mother I wish you all the best, and your father and Percy and I will be there when the store opens this weekend."

After a cup of tea, Mrs. Weasley and the twins left.Lane could see the Weasley twins smiling happily until they Apparated away.

It's the weekend, the day before going to Sirius' ancestral home.After packing his luggage early in the morning, Ryan and Hermione went to Diagon Alley to attend the opening ceremony of Weasley's joke shop.

"If it weren't for some wizards' disgusting concept of blood, your name should also appear on the store door." Hermione said while watching the store that started to set off fireworks.

"In business, as long as you make money. Fame is not that important." Ryan replied. "Okay, let's go in and have a look. Although I am the major shareholder and have helped a lot for the opening, I have never seen all the products in the store."

The store looks like it has been renovated once, and it is much brighter than the gray warehouse it used to be, and it can even be said to be a little too bright.The walls on the first floor were replaced with a large display window. The left display window was colorful and displayed various products that rotated, twitched, flashed, jumped and screamed, while the right display window displayed some more serious ones. commodity.Ryan saw that the brass bracelet he had made earlier was placed at the top of a large pile of merchandise in the right window.

"Lian, Hermione is welcome." A large group of people rushed in because the store had just opened.So Ryan and the others squeezed to the innermost part of the shop to see the busy twins and the Weasleys.

The two of them were called over by the clerk before they had a chat, and Ryan and the others could only check the various products in the store by themselves.On the first floor are mainly various joke products, such as snacks and candies with various spoof effects, as well as magic wands and quills that can be used to trick people.There are even one-off runestones made by the twins after they learn the basics of alchemy, each of which promises half an hour of perfect daydreaming.

"Really, a ghost——" Ryan glanced at it and knew what it was. Earlier, Ryan and the twins restored the layout method of an ancient illusion defense array found in the library. Ryan himself used this knowledge to make a A complete set of phantom arrays that can be quickly deployed as a fixed-site defense.Unexpectedly, the twins actually simplified the above knowledge and used it for this.It can only be said that the two of them are indeed very talented in mischief.

The second floor is where magic props, mainly defense against the dark arts, are sold.Unlike downstairs, it is mainly adults, and it is not as noisy as downstairs.

"Hey. Ryan, Hermione." George greeted them after watching them call upstairs.

"Thanks to you, the market for these magic props is very good now." George called a clerk to replace him and walked over to Ryan and said. "Although those Ministry of Magic guys have been bragging that it's safe now, at least the escape of the ten Death Eaters has caused many people to start looking for something to protect them, and we can provide these things."

"So have you registered real names for some of the more important commodities?" Ryan asked what he was concerned about.

"That's necessary. We don't want our goods to be used by those Death Eaters against our relatives and friends. Even if we lose some business by doing so." Speaking of which, George picked up a few coals from the shelf, which looked similar to coal. s things. "For example, this kind of stealth smoke bomb that must be dispelled with a matching spell, and your defense bracelet, which will be very useful in actual combat, we require customers to purchase with their real names. Of course, like decoy bombs to divert people's attention or There is no need to do this for clothing that can only prevent some minor curses."

"By the way, there is another opening gift for you." Ryan finished speaking and took out a wooden box from under the wizard's robe and handed it over.After taking it, George opened the box and found a pair of headbands that seemed to be made of patterned steel.He looked at Ryan with some puzzlement.

"I made this with magic metal. On the one hand, as a defensive item, this head ring can resist ten stun spells in a week. On the other hand, this head ring can allow people to enter the mechanized mind for half an hour every three days. Under certain circumstances, the user can guarantee that he will not be affected by any emotions to make various judgments, which is very useful in battle, and can even save a life."

"It's too expensive, I can't accept it. As far as I know, some so-called pure-blood family heirlooms with a relatively short history may not have this level." George was a little surprised after hearing Ryan's introduction.

"It's okay. After all, I am the main investor in this store. In this situation, I think that only when you guarantee safety can I protect my interests."

In the end, Ryan persuaded the twins to accept the gift with the reason of safeguarding his own interests, and then left the store.
