The Great Writers of Hogwarts

Chapter 89 "The Elder Scrolls" released, crazy?

this evening.

The Quibblers were called in.

Everyone seems to have heard the news from Frey that The Quibbler is coming to an end, with worried faces.

But when they saw Andre appear, they comforted Andre instead.

"Andre, we feel that the difficulties will always pass."

"Don't worry, we will firmly stand on the side of "The Quibbler"."

"It doesn't matter if we don't pay a salary, we already earned a lot before, enough for a year.

Let's talk about money after we get through the storm. "

Andre and the Weasley family also smiled when they looked at these agents.

The suffocating anger that someone betrayed before was also swept away.

Although there are always people who forget righteousness for profit, there are still many people who can distinguish right from wrong.

Andre smiled.

"Did someone tell you that "The Quibbler" is coming to an end?"

"You don't really believe it, haha, stop joking, just rely on the "Daily Prophet"? They have this ability?"

"Don't worry, the salary will be paid as usual, and "The Quibbler" will only get better and better."

Seeing that everyone seemed a little skeptical, Andre took out a stack of the new issue of "The Quibbler" that had already been printed, and signaled them to feel it here.

An hour later, when Andre woke up the agents one by one from the wonderful experience of "The Elder Scrolls", their faces still had unfinished and amazed expressions.

"Merlin, did I just enter a real world through words?"

"I can cook freely in it, I can explore freely in it, and I can do whatever I want!"

"Uh, I have to remind you that the chicken at the gate of Ximu Town cannot be killed..."

"Stop it, woo woo woo.

Go to Fucking Faendal, I helped him deliver the letter to bring the beauty home, and then when I went to the entrance of the village, I accidentally hacked the chicken to death.

This grandson was the first to turn his face and shoot me with a bow and arrow! "

The agent's words caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Amidst the laughter, the hesitation about the future was also swept away.

Is The Quibbler going to die?

What a joke!
No agent will believe this kind of nonsense anymore. On the contrary, anyone who still has the ability to think normally can imagine how shocking this issue will cause!
No one can resist the joy of exploring a different world freely, no matter men, women or children, this issue of "The Quibbler" will become the best-selling book of all time!
Next, Andre also announced one more thing.

"From this issue onwards, the price of "The Quibbler" will increase from the original ten copper Knuts to one silver Sickle due to rising costs.

As an agent, do you have any opinions? "

Everyone was stunned for a moment, they didn't expect Andre to choose to raise the price at this time.

But they thought about it, this issue of "The Quibbler" comes with such a magical thing as a character card, so it is normal for the cost to increase.

Besides, such a unique experience, not to mention a silver Sickle, might even trigger a craze for a gold Galleon, it is worth the price!

Therefore, no one has any opinion on this price increase.

On the contrary, Xenophilius felt a little uneasy.

For a long time, the prices of newspapers and magazines in the magic world have remained basically unchanged, especially since the "Daily Prophet" has been selling five copper Knuts for hundreds of years, this situation is even more difficult to shake.

People in the magic world are used to the price of newspapers.

Even if the Daily Prophet raises the price of a copper Knut, it won't be long before they are flooded with angry yelling letters and unsubscribe emails, and then have to fire another "temporary worker" in disgrace and announce the previous price increase The news is purely rumor.

Because of the five copper nats of the "Daily Prophet" as a price anchor, newspapers with prices that are much higher than this cannot be opened at all.

But if it was sold at the same price as the "Daily Prophet", the "Daily Prophet" could make small profits but sell more, and still have a steady stream of advertising revenue. How would those small newspapers make money?

That profit margin is simply minuscule.

In a sense, this low price is also one of the moats for the hegemony of the Daily Prophet.

Because of this situation, Xenophilius was a little worried.

"Andre, isn't it a bit too hasty to raise the price to one silver Sickle?"

Andre showed a confident smile.

"We hold the core technology and have a unique experience that cannot be provided by the entire magic world, so it is only natural to increase the price.

Maybe the public will not understand it at first, but as long as they see the charm of "The Elder Scrolls", they will be able to accept it.

After all, the price of a silver Sickle is affordable by anyone. "

"not to mention……"

Andre's eyes showed a sneer.

"The Daily Prophet sees us raising prices, don't they want to?

If they don't have this idea, do they need to blow the wind every once in a while and test the readers' opinions?
When we go up to a Sickle, the price of the Daily Prophet will surely go up as well.

Look at their recent greedy style, I am afraid that it may rise to twenty copper nats. "

"The problem is, readers will soon discover that The Quibbler is a unique experience, well worth the price of a Sickle.

So why did the Daily Prophet raise its price?Do they have any core technology?

They don't want to be sprayed to explode, so they can only obediently reduce the price and return to five nuts.

Every day this process is delayed, their readers will lose more and more serious.

But if they drop back to the original price, we can sell it for a silver Sickle. You say, other newspapers will follow the "Daily Prophet" and sell it for no more than five nats, or find a way Cooperate with us?

How much profit can the newspapers and periodicals of the "Daily Prophet" be at a price of five nuts?
Why fight with our side? "

Andre made a figurative metaphor.

"The Daily Prophet cut prices, and we slowly bled them to death."

"If they don't lower their prices, we'll just hang them on the gallows."

"Their end is doomed."

Xenophilius' breathing suddenly became rapid.

In Andre's description, he seemed to see that the moment when "The Quibbler" defeated the "Daily Prophet" was not far away!

Time passed minute by minute.

At four o'clock in the morning, all the work of the team has been sorted out, including training on how to deal with readers' dissatisfaction due to price increases.

At this time, Andre took a deep breath and waved his hand.

"Then I declare that from now on, everyone will bring "The Elder Scrolls" and start a new era that belongs to us!"

"Let the Daily Prophet tremble!"

……

The next morning.

As usual, copies of The Quibbler were sent around the wizarding world.

On the side of the "Daily Prophet", department head Ole, editor-in-chief Barnabas, and many high-level executives were already waiting in the conference room early.

Immediately, they got a copy of "The Quibbler".

And when they saw the price of this issue of "The Quibbler", the executives of the "Daily Prophet" were so confused that they even rubbed their eyes, for fear that they were sleepy and misjudged the price.

After confirming that this issue of "The Quibbler" really raised the price to one silver Sickle, they were all crazy with joy.

"Crazy, crazy, they are already crazy, completely unscrupulous!"

"Hahaha, do you think that raising the price will increase profits and allow them to live longer?
madness!Their readers will just leave them like an avalanche! "

But at this time, a tempting idea churned in the hearts of these high-level people.

"They are the first to raise prices, and they must be the worst scolded.

Then why don't we also secretly raise the price?
Even if the increase is only one copper Knut, the profit margin will increase by [-]%! "

After several people looked at each other, they still couldn't resist the temptation.

Editor-in-Chief Barnabas hit the nail on the head.

"Prices are soaring now. We have been selling five knuckles for hundreds of years. It is too small to only increase by one copper knat.

When it goes up to twenty, we'll sell it for twenty copper knuts apiece! "

"Believe me, the founders of the Daily Prophet would want to get out of their coffins and give us a hug if they knew what we've accomplished! The Daily Prophet will lead us to a place never before seen. Reached new heights!"
