No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 877 Making Money
"I have an idea. We have cleaned out a lot of things recently and we can sell them for charity." Ou Mengmeng said hurriedly.

She believes in eating meat before eating rice. She is now donating money to Gryffindor to buy brooms. She is afraid that Dumbledore will take advantage of her, so she has to think of a solution at school.

It just so happened that they were in the Room of Requirement, and except for metal objects, they actually sorted out all kinds of things. There were a lot of them, and they also tried to repair them, which made them learn and improve quickly. But Ou Mengmeng didn't think there was any point in keeping these things there. So she thought, should she clean them up and put them out slowly.

Like books, in addition to the black magic book, there are many other books and notes, which are all very useful, various ancient toys, wizard chess, magic tools, and even kitchen utensils. Ou Mengmeng doesn't know where this came from.

"This... Oh my God..." When Hermione was about to express her support, Harry fell from the sky and grabbed the Snitch. However, the Gryffindor team members also saw it and rushed over, but they didn't control it well and Harry was knocked off his broom.

Ou Mengmeng was depressed. Even though Dobby was gone, our poor Harry was still left behind. So this was actually destined.

However, she noticed that Professor Lockhart was flitting towards Harry like a butterfly.

"Go and stop Lockhart!" Ou Mengmeng immediately shouted to Draco. She knew very well that Lockhart had lost the bones in Harry's hands. In the movie, little Harry's arms were as flexible as rubber, which made her laugh for a long time. But now, let's not do that.

Draco flew over in a hurry, and he didn't brake, so he knocked Lockhart away.

In front of the whole school, Professor Lockhart was thrown into a parabola, first flying up into the air, then falling heavily. Even Harry, who had broken his arm, sat there, not knowing what expression to give to everyone.

"It's the power of the curse!" Hermione was the smartest among them, and she said loudly. Are you kidding? It was "Little Petunia" who asked Draco to stop him. What should I do now? Who should I blame? I can't blame anyone! It must be the power of the curse.

"You're right." Ginny nodded seriously. This had absolutely nothing to do with Draco. Although she was really indifferent to Draco, between Lockhart and Draco, Ginny firmly stood on Draco's side.

Draco sat on his broom and covered his face in shame. He really didn't expect this! However, after hearing what his two friends said, he felt much better. Now he felt that Ginny didn't look like a Weasley anymore. She looked much cuter.

Professor Lockhart was offline like this. Of course, the good thing was that he didn't rush forward to change Harry's hand bones, forcing him to lie in the hospital wing to grow bones. Madam Pompey used a spell and gave Hao some potion by the way, and he came back. Professor Lockhart's condition was a bit serious, so he was sent to St. Mungo's.

By chance, he met a former victim in the hospital, an old explorer who was cursed with oblivion. Because of a small accident, he also came to St. Mungo's. He was "coincidentally" found to be cursed again, and then after a series of coincidences, Professor Lockhart was imprisoned in Azkaban. This was really not done by Ou Mengmeng. Later, Professor McGonagall revealed that it was done by old Dumbledore. Dumbledore actually knew what kind of person he was a long time ago. He specially invited him back, one to expose him in school, and the other to let him learn a lesson. But he didn't expect that the lesson was a bit big.

Then, of course, there are a series of compensation issues. Fortunately, he has the money from selling the copyright, and Ginny, as the copyright owner, also expressed her apologies to the victims, stating that there is a sum of money from the copyright that belongs to Lockhart every year, which will be used to compensate the victims. As long as it can be sold for one day, the victim's family can get a fixed amount.

Ou Mengmeng made such a schedule at the time because she thought that she would have to lose money later on, so she said that after buying the copyright, she would give the author a certain percentage of the profit every year, which was a very generous condition.

The book had already been promoted in the Muggle world. Of course, Professor Lockhart paid compensation for the stock in Flourish and Blotts, but he still asked Flourish and Blotts to sell as many copies as possible. As a result, once he was imprisoned in Azkaban, the book could no longer be sold. So Ou Mengmeng could only buy it at a low price with tears in her eyes, did some magic removal, and sold it to the Muggle world as a collector's copy.

A mysterious fantasy novelist, a dead otaku, set off a wave of magic fantasy stories in the Muggle world. There are also various peripherals (peripheral toys are produced by Foster Toy Company).

Ginny got 20% of the dividends and achieved financial freedom overnight. Hermione was the planner, and she also got 10% of the wealth, which she put in her bank in the Muggle world as a stable investment. Ou Mengmeng was the issuer, and her pie was the biggest, but Ou Mengmeng didn't care. The money went directly into the bank, and then her investment team would invest in blocks according to the situation. She didn't care much about this.

And the books are not published all at once, but one by one slowly, one book every year. Anyway, Ou Mengmeng is learning from JK Rowling. We take it slow. Anyway, as long as I write one book, I can live comfortably by relying on the peripheral products.

Looking at the production value, even Hermione wants to write a book. What is it? She read the reviews and found that people are interested in the whole magical world. She is a Muggle herself, so she knows what children like.

Ou Mengmeng thought this was pretty good, and even specially underlined it, suggesting that she write about something, mainly to build a world view. Just like JK Rowling, her best thing is to build a complete world view through ancient legends and fairy tales, making people all over the world believe that there may be a small world hidden around us, and the people in this small world are still working hard for ordinary people like us.

Just for this reason, this lady should always be respected. So when Hermione wanted to write, Ou Mengmeng strongly supported her and even asked some good writers in the wizarding world to write together. We don't have to create a world view, but we want to let the Muggle world know that we have created a world view.

Like the ladybug reporter Rita Skeeter who likes to make up stories, isn't this her specialty? And the parents of the crazy girl Luna Lovegood, they know so many stories, why do they run a tabloid like "The Quibbler" that has no future? Wouldn't it be better to write some novels and reach the peak of life? Oh, the mother of the crazy girl Luna Lovegood did not die due to the intervention of Ou Mengmeng. Now she is writing children's books at home with her husband. Isn't it just right for them to write about the magical world?

It was windy in Wuhan today and the air was very humid. I have been wanting to take a shower for a long time and have prepared the water, but I am waiting for the JD Express. I called and was told it would be here soon, but it still hasn't come.
