The Great Writers of Hogwarts

Chapter 44 Crazy, Crazy (7K)

Andre was also dumbfounded when he saw Ginny open the closet as if to invite him to have a snack.

If others saw this, he would not be able to clean himself up by jumping into the Yellow River.

Andre is really not that kind of pervert!

Just as Andre was thinking about how to reply appropriately without hurting Ginny, Ginny's impulsive brain finally cooled down.

Her face was flushed red, and she cursed secretly in her heart, not knowing how she could say such words impulsively.

For a moment, an awkward atmosphere reverberated in the room.

Fortunately, there was a commotion outside at this moment, which finally broke the awkward atmosphere and saved Andre and Ginny at this moment.

It was a series of apparating pops.

After the explosion, Andre saw the red hair from the window.

This shows that it is the agents of "The Quibbler" who are here at this moment.

Andre looked at the time subconsciously, and it was almost an hour before the feedback node they agreed on.

Why did all these agents come here ahead of time?

Andre was startled.

Could it be that something went wrong when the agent sold it?

At this moment, he didn't care about explaining anything to Ginny, so he ran outside in a hurry. After Ginny put away the sheets and pillow covers, he followed closely behind.

Andre came outside and hurriedly asked the agents who had just landed.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Isn't it the appointed time yet? Why are you all here?"

The Weasleys and Xenophilius on the side all tensed their hearts, for fear of hearing any bad news.

After all, they don't have a system that can check the response level in real time like Andre.

Until now, they had been ignorant of the response to The Quibbler.

Seeing that the agents came back earlier than expected, they all subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and each of them couldn't help but clenched their palms tightly.

This issue of "The Quibbler" can be said to be crucial, carrying the hopes of all of them.

If something goes wrong, it will be a huge blow to everyone.

Fortunately, the agents brought good news.

As they recovered from their post-Apparition wobble, almost in unison all the agents shouted out the purpose of their trip.

"Restock, replenish us quickly!"

"The Quibbler here is almost sold out. Judging from this situation, it will be a matter of time before the physical Harry Potter cards are sold out."

"I want three times as many copies of "The Quibbler" than before, and the cards are doubled for me. The guests are all waiting for it!"

"Me too, me too, very urgent!"

The clamoring for replenishment one after another really surprised and delighted the Weasleys and Xenophilius.

Goods sold out?
So fast? !

Xenophilius couldn't believe it.

This time, the first issue of "The Quibbler" he prepared reached [-] copies. In the past, he might not be able to sell so many copies in a whole issue, but judging by the attitude of these agents, it may take less than a day today. All stocks can be sold.

"What happened, what happened?"

"How did it sell so fast?"

For the question Xenophilius asked in shock, the agents' eyes lit up, and they looked at Andre with sincere eyes.

"Everything is exactly as Andre said, no, it is more exaggerated than what he said."

"When they saw the physical card of the savior Harry Potter, they went crazy, everyone went crazy.

They want more cards and higher rarities like crazy.

Everyone is buying the Quibbler, and when we told Andre to limit the purchase of five copies of the Quibbler per person, after that, if you want more Harry Potter cards, you need to buy extra, It really happened! "

"Merlin, you should really see this and that scene with your own eyes.

I dare say that Gringotts doesn't make money faster than this little card, it's printing money! "

Following the descriptions of the agents, an exciting scene slowly unfolded before everyone's eyes.

……

Turn back the time.

Inside the tequila bar, the customers who were reminded woke up like a dream.

If they want to get a Harry Potter card, why don't they just order The Quibbler?
And why pay the price of a tequila special when you can only have a drink with this card from Fry?Think through your ass to know which will be more cost-effective.

So the customers who were really waiting in line to clink their glasses with the "Blessing of the Savior" card sat back one after another, not buying the bar owner Frye's account at all.

Frye saw that the business opportunity he found slipped away in a flash of inspiration, and he was also disappointed for a while, but he still didn't give up and wanted to persuade the customers.

"Hey, by the time you send out the order mail now and then send it to "The Quibbler", I'm afraid it will take three days to go back and forth.

Don't you think it's too late by then, the opportunity to gain the blessing of the savior is right in front of your eyes! "

This rhetoric has indeed moved some customers who are in a very urgent mood.

But then someone noticed something different in Fry's copy of The Quibbler.

"Hey guys, here's the latest way to order The Quibbler.

From now on, we don't need to send order emails to the distant Quibbler headquarters, just email the nearest agent.

And now the nearest agent is only a dozen miles away, and it may be delivered in 15 minutes! "

"Frye, your calculations are about to go blank!"

As soon as these words came out, Fry touched his bald forehead in annoyance.

"Hell, I thought it was a business opportunity."

"Okay, okay, you guys go send emails now.

Hmph, but I'm a regular customer who sings a different tune, maybe only regular customers can have this kind of card. "

Bar patrons laughed.

"Still stubborn?"

"Frye, then you just wait and see. You just missed the best chance to sell this card. After that, there will be no such good things."

Then, these people wrote the purchase mail and sent it to the agent closest to here with an owl, asking him to send all the "quibblers" that everyone ordered to the tequila bar.

That's right, they just want to open the card on the spot, and take a good breath of Frye, who is blind to money.

And less than 10 minutes after the owl flew away, an apparition bang sounded outside the tequila bar.

The nearest agent here, a distant relative of the Weasley family, brought a thick stack of "The Quibbler" directly to the door of the Tequila Bar.

According to Andre's requirements for them, the sooner they are delivered to customers, the sooner they can build customers' trust in this sales model, and they will be selected as agents to place orders in the first place in the future.

The order from the tequila bar was the agent's first big order. In order to ensure the fastest delivery, he simply apparated over here.

The customers in the tequila bar were also taken aback when they heard the sound.

Such a fast transportation speed is a novel experience that has never been seen before.

Not long after the order was placed, the item was delivered directly to the hand.It's not like before, sometimes I bought something on impulse, but after a few days or a week when the item was delivered to my hands, the impulse and expectation had dissipated.

Now they are very interested. After the agent delivered "The Quibbler", they also crowded around to ask about "The Quibbler".

"Do these Quibblers come with Harry Potter cards too?"

The agent replied in the affirmative and also told them.

"The type and rarity of the cards attached to it are random, and what cards can be drawn depends on luck."

"It may be an ordinary white card, but it's not impossible to get an incomparably precious golden legendary card. I think this is also a way to test your luck."

"However, you should know that "The Quibbler" chooses to give away cards to give back to readers. In fact, every time you sell a copy, you will lose a little, so each person can only buy five copies.

If you want more cards, you can only buy them separately. "This made them even more impatient, everyone first saw what Harry Potter cards they could draw.

These words further aroused customers' interest in drawing cards.

They quickly flipped through the "The Witcher" that they had already read.

I have to say that although I have read it once, and this time it is a speed read, "The Witcher" still caused them a lot of emotional fluctuations, and once again added some bricks and tiles to the response of "The Witcher" .

Immediately afterwards, rays of light lit up in the tequila bar, accompanied by passionate voices.

"ordinary!"

"ordinary!"

"ordinary!"

"..."

"rare!"

In the huge bar, most of the people issued ordinary cards, and the contents of the cards were not so attractive.

Like Harry Potter's smile, Harry Potter's stare, things like that.

While it's sure to be thrilling too, it's a bit of a letdown with Frye's "Blessing of the Messiah" gem ahead of it.

Even a small number of lucky ones who got blue rare cards failed to get another card comparable to the "Blessing of the Savior".

This made Frye, who had been regretful, smile again.

"Aha, the card you open is not good.

Anyone else want to order a tequila special so I can lend you some messianic blessings. "

Stimulated by Frye's words, all these customers went to the top without exception.

They don't believe it, so many people can't draw a better card than "Blessing of the Savior"?

On the spot, they surrounded the agent again.

"Give me five more copies of The Quibbler!"

"I want ten!"

"I also want ten copies. I don't believe that out of the ten cards, I can't get even one good card!"

Frankly speaking, this agent was very tempted, but thinking of Professor Andre's sales strategy, he still refused the customers' request to purchase "The Quibbler" in large quantities.

"Sorry, "The Quibbler" comes with a card to reward readers, and every copy sold is actually a loss, so each person can only buy five copies.

If you want more Savior cards, you can only buy them specifically. "

The bar customers were stunned at first, they had never heard of the purchase restriction, how can this be done without doing business?

But after hearing the agent's explanation, they suddenly realized.

"So that's how it is. The bonus cards that come with the naysayers are selling at a loss, so purchases should really be restricted."

"Then what if the Quibbler goes bankrupt at a loss, maybe you won't see the story about the Quibbler in the future.

Come on, I still want to see the follow-up chapters of Harry Potter and The Witcher.

Then I will only buy the limited purchase of five copies, and then buy five additional cards to support it. "

"How much is the card alone?"

When the agent quoted the price of one Gold Galleon and one card, his heart was really pounding.

When Andre talked about the unified pricing, these agents felt like they were robbing.

No, the robbery is not so fast. Can someone pay for such a high price?

And the reason Andre gave them was that the purchase limit of five copies was to allow wizards with little financial resources to participate in the game, taking the path of small profits but quick turnover.

As for the high-priced extra cards, that's a price anchor.

It will make the wizard who bought five copies of The Quibbler feel like they've made a fortune, and it'll make the wizard who buys extra cards feel good.

These remarks made the agents dubious, but the facts proved that Andre was correct.

Some wizards in the Tequila Bar who don't have enough money naturally can't buy such an expensive card, but after hearing the price, they feel that it's bloody money to buy a copy of the Quibbler and get a free card, so they just buy all of them. Directly bought the limit of five copies.

And wizards with strong financial resources don't care about such a small amount of money. On the contrary, they enjoy the envious eyes of the people around them. What's more, buying the card directly can save the trouble of reading "The Witcher" to unlock the card. accept.

So something really happened that took the agent by surprise.

Whether poor wizards or rich wizards spend as much money as they can afford on these cards, it's nothing short of divine!
And after getting these cards, all wizards couldn't wait to open them in the tequila bar.

"ordinary."

"ordinary."

"rare!"

A wizard who bought extra cards issued a rare card called "Saviour's Courage".

"The courage of the savior. Infected by the courage of the savior, you will gradually become confident and brave. Say goodbye to the cowardly self in the past."

The wizard was simply ecstatic, and put it in his arms.

Looking at the envious eyes of the people around him, he still made a strong declaration.

"I felt it. There was a faint heat spreading from this card to my whole body. I have never felt so brave!"

Such words further increased the fanaticism of the wizards.

And then, a gorgeous purple light appeared, pushing this atmosphere to the peak.

"epic!"

The first purple card in the Tequila Bar appeared, and it turned out to be the owner of the bar, Frye.

Frye himself was stunned. He bought an extra card after he bought all the restricted copies of "The Quibbler".

The limited purchases only came out as ordinary white cards. At first, he didn't have any hope, but he never thought that the last extra purchased card would burst out with a gorgeous purple light after scratching off the seal on it. .

In an instant, ecstasy hit Frye's heart, and he couldn't help but climbed onto the bar table, roaring excitedly.

"One shot into the soul, one shot into the soul!"

"It's purple!"

When he was jumping for joy, this purple card revealed its true face.

The actions and expressions of Harry Potter on it are obviously richer than common and rare cards, and the card surface is also more sophisticated.

Harry Potter made a gesture of using his fingers instead of a wand to cast a spell, and at the same time a line of writing appeared on the card.

"The talent of the savior, the savior will share his own characteristics with you, improve your talent, it will be more useful for little wizards."

When he saw this card, Frye was a little disappointed, because he relied on wine making and bartending skills for a living, and his magical talent was not that important to him, and he even rarely used a magic wand.

As for the children?He is still an old bachelor.

But the customers with children in the bar went crazy.

"Twenty Galleons, Frye, give me this card, I want to give it to my child."

"Thirty, I want it too."

"..."

In the end, this purple card was bought by a wizard at a price of one hundred gold Galleons in front of everyone.

Looking at the heavy purse in front of him, Frye showed a dreamlike expression.

Is it so easy to make money?
At this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the "Blessing of the Savior" that he had placed in the bar.

For a moment, Frye showed a pious expression on his face, and saluted this card with folded hands.

"It must be its blessing, it works!"

The guests at the bar also stared wide-eyed.

Maybe this card really has some kind of special magical power?

Otherwise, how could Frye be so lucky?

Then, they all scrambled to order the special tequila, just to get a little blessing and then come to open the card.

This scene in the bar is really like a carnival.

Customers cheered and screamed for a good card and lamented for a mediocre card.

This is not only the case in the tequila bar, but also in the Malfoy house, which has always been known for its aristocratic demeanor.

After Lucius Malfoy asked the house-elf to buy more "The Quibbler" according to the contact information left by "The Quibbler", he was preparing to go out.

He still has a few tasks to deal with today, and several meetings to attend.

As the helm of a large family, there are always various businesses to be busy with, otherwise the Malfoy family would not have been able to maintain such prosperity.

What he didn't expect was that it took less than 10 minutes from the time the house elf went to order "The Quibbler" to the time the agent came to Malfoy's house.

This little work is not enough for him to drink tea and read today's "Daily Prophet"!

This delivery speed really satisfied Lucius.

And when the agent said that "The Quibbler" was limited to five copies, but a separate card would be prepared for truly respectable people like the Malfoy family, even though he knew it was flattery, Lucius was still quite satisfied.

"Then let's get a hundred first, one hundred Galleons? You keep it."

When he received the heavy money bag from Lucius, the agent showed ecstasy on his face, and handed Lucius a prepared suitcase of cards.

"My dear Mr. Malfoy, I wish you luck."

After the agent left, Lucius fell into rare hesitation.

Reason told him that by now he should be getting ready for those meetings.

Although the things to be discussed at the meeting were not urgent matters, it had always been Lucius' habit to deal with these family affairs at an appropriate time. Even in those years when he followed Voldemort, he never neglected to take care of the family.

Just looking at the suitcase in his hand, Lucius really felt itchy when he thought of the cards with unknown rarities and card faces inside.

He hesitated at the door of the house for nearly a minute, then muttered to himself.

"It's completely enough to open a few cards and go there in time, and it won't affect any work."

After giving himself this excuse, Lucius immediately returned to the long table with some peace of mind, and neatly arranged the cards in the suitcase on the long table one by one.

After taking a deep breath, Lucius scratched off the first card.

"ordinary!"

His expression did not fluctuate.

Of course there are a lot of ordinary cards, this is a normal phenomenon, nothing to be touched by.

Lucius then scratched off the second, third...fifth card.

"Normal! X4"

This made Lucius frowned all of a sudden.

Five consecutive cards are common?
Is my luck so bad? It's impossible.

Could it be that the agent gave him the wrong card and wanted to kill him?

If that was the case, Lucius promised to let him know what cruelty was.

At this moment, Narcissa had already dressed up and was ready to go out to attend the tea party of the ladies.

This is also her responsibility as a member of the big family, and she needs to maintain the connection with the big family.

Narcissa looked quite surprised when she saw Lucius still standing in front of the long table.

"Lucius? I thought you had already left for a meeting, why are you still here..."

"You have to hurry up, or time will be tight."

Lucius exhaled lightly, and said to Narcissa.

"There's still time, don't be in a hurry. Come and open a card for me."

Narcissa looked at the neatly arranged cards on the long table.

"Are those Harry Potter cards?"

She scratched a card with a sense of novelty.

The next moment, a ray of purple light flowed out, accompanied by a passionate voice.

"epic!"

A look of joy appeared in Narcissa's eyes.

"Epic? Purple card?"

"That looks good, Lucius, is my luck okay?"

Lucius nodded with a complicated expression.

It's just that the footsteps that originally wanted to leave to attend the meeting couldn't move, and were fixed in front of the long table as if they had taken root.

Narcissa issued a purple card. It seems that there is no problem with these cards. Is it really my bad luck?
Lucius was really a little unconvinced.

"Open a few more, at least I will also open a purple card."

By the last minute when it was time for him to go to the meeting, Lucius had more than 30 opened cards in front of him.

But except for the one opened by Narcissa, the others are all blue and white "blue sky and white clouds".

Lucius gritted his teeth, becoming more and more unconvinced.

He looked at the time and a thought flashed through his mind.

Anyway, I can't make it to the meeting, or I'll excuse myself not feeling well temporarily, so I won't go.

Lucius waved his wand, summoned his patron saint, sent a message to the venue where he was supposed to go, and then focused all his attention on these cards.

"Purple card, purple card, another purple card."

However, the purple light he was expecting never appeared, and it was always a common and rare call.

It wasn't until the No.90 card that a touch of purple finally burst out from the card.

Lucius waved his fist excitedly, the previous gloom was swept away, and he almost jumped up.

"it is good!"

"Looks like I've changed my luck!"

He continued to open it, hoping that some precious cards could be opened in the last ten cards.

It was only when his hand was empty that Lucius found to his annoyance that all the [-] cards he bought had been opened.

But he always felt that maybe with one more card, another purple card or even a golden legendary card could be produced.

Lucius gritted his teeth and called the house elf at home.

"Dobby, contact me with that agent."

"I want to buy another hundred cards, no, three hundred more cards!"

……

Outside the Weasley family's shabby house, the agents were vividly describing the customers who were crazy about buying "The Quibbler" and cards.

"God, you don't see Lucius Malfoy like that.

I dare say he is completely on top, and he will never stop until he is issued a gold card!
He ordered hundreds of cards one after another, which meant hundreds of Galleons! "

"Merlin, it's crazy to spend a lot of money on some cards, it's really crazy.

I never thought money was so easy to make, and I daresay not even Gringotts is as good as our business. "

The agents who were still apprehensive about this matter now have a complete reassurance.

They all came back early this time, in order to take advantage of this craze to increase the purchase volume, and everyone wanted to make a fortune.

Andre said.

"We paid in advance for the first batch of goods. According to the contract, if you want the second batch of goods, you need to pay back, otherwise our capital chain is not enough to produce the next batch of goods."

"You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Agents are okay with that.

Each of them was carrying a suitcase, which was full of the Galleons they had received so far, and they brought them here just to buy.

Then, Mrs. Weasley put together a huge table, and the agents poured out the Galleons from these suitcases one by one, and poured them on the huge table.

As the suitcases were emptied one by one, a hill made of stacked gold Galleons appeared on the table, gradually making everyone who saw it dumbfounded.

Every agent knows it's lucrative, but they never imagined that they could make so much money in less than a day.

Mrs. Weasley counted the number of these Galleons tremblingly, and after the report was made, everyone present gasped.

"This?!"

　Seven thousand words today, thank you readers for your support.Thanks to the old white guy who only reads but doesn't speak for the reward.
