Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity
#99 - Roger's Magic Company
For such high-intensity mental work, Roger naturally offered top-tier compensation, at least three times the hourly rate of ordinary temporary jobs on the market. Of course, this time was calculated based on the actual working time in the virtual world, not real-world time.
In addition to that, there were also performance bonuses. Although Roger's alchemical research often lacked funds, he wasn't short of a few Galleons.
Inside the Room of Requirement, in Roger's 'junk room,' he could casually flip out a couple of alchemical items that failed in their creation direction and sell them, which would be enough to replenish the funds.
Not to mention, the 'inferior version of the Wizard System' that Harry once borrowed, if sold to those wizards trapped by their talents, they would probably be willing to go bankrupt!
In Roger's eyes, that thing would lower the upper limit of a wizard's growth, but in the eyes of other wizards, it could raise the lower limit of growth.
In the eyes of people lacking talent, it could be called a divine artifact.
After a brief discussion with Dumbledore, Dumbledore believed that Roger's idea was feasible.
He also stated that he would arrange for Roger to have a negotiation meeting with the members of the Hogwarts Board of Governors soon. Roger would join the meeting as a business employer.
After discussing everything, Dumbledore said, "If you really intend to get it off the ground, you'll probably have to register a company with the Ministry of Magic."
After all, Hogwarts students can't join a black workshop without even a license after graduation.
Roger might not care about this, but the students who come to work and their families do.
"I know, I can take care of this small matter myself in the next two days, but I need to trouble you to approve a leave of absence from school for me," Roger said.
Although Dumbledore's words are really effective in the Ministry of Magic now, Roger can't take a chicken feather as an arrow and ask Dumbledore to come forward for every trivial matter.
After a long absence, he came to the Ministry of Magic again.
The decoration and layout here have not changed in any way.
However, the atmosphere in the dark was very different from the last time he came.
Roger felt from the tense expressions of the surrounding wizards that a hint of gunpowder was floating invisibly in the air.
Dumbledore had told him a few days ago that there was some trouble with the legal reforms, which should be the reason.
The fact was indeed the case. Fudge, as a politician, had a qualified vision.
Things really developed according to Fudge's predicted direction.
The legal reform began vigorously under the impetus of many people who were dissatisfied with the existing laws, but everyone's points of dissatisfaction with the laws were different, and they also had different opinions on how to modify them.
This is not a 'the more truth is debated, the clearer it becomes' problem. People live in the world and have their own positions. Modifying the law according to one party's requirements often harms the interests of the other party. Now, it has almost become a political team, with each other squeezing each other.
Well, there is also the reason why Fudge, as the Minister of Magic, has an unstable foundation and his real power is not concentrated, leading to a mess of forces.
Power hates vacuum. When something is not clearly managed by someone, anyone with the ability to reach out wants to touch it.
The various factions within the Ministry of Magic, which were originally united and cooperative, would probably have seen blood if it weren't for Dumbledore's presence, daring to use violent means. At the very least, it would have been a mass brawl in the conference room.
Although he noticed it, Roger didn't care much, and didn't even ask further.
Even if he was the initial trigger, Roger didn't push things to this point. The Ministry of Magic's own affairs, what reason does Roger have to care?
He went straight to the department in charge of registering wizard business licenses. Roger waited in line for the formalities to be completed.
In the wizarding world, there are no strict age restrictions for business license registration, just like the Weasley twins opened the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes while still in school.
As long as there is registered capital, proof of identity, submission of application materials, and business scope, you can get a license.
Afterwards, engrave an official seal, open an account at Gringotts Bank, and you can start business.
The laws of the wizarding world are inherently chaotic. Due to the particularity of the wizarding system, many things do not have too detailed clauses.
It's like a constitution, with direction, but how to interpret it depends on the situation at the time, and the vague range is very high.
However, Roger's company registration trip was not smooth, and an unexpected place stuck him.
"'Future'—this name has also been registered?" Roger couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
"That's right," the Ministry of Magic staff member said sternly.
The wizarding society is not large, but looking at the whole world, there are still many, and some wizards have very long lifespans.
The inheritance is long, and many names even existed since BC.
This leads to a problem. When Roger wants to take a good-sounding, meaningful company name, they are basically registered or preemptively registered to avoid trademark disputes.
Roger didn't expect that in 1992, he would actually encounter a similar problem where all the good names had been taken by others.
Roger originally thought that the legal reform had nothing to do with him.
But now, Roger realized that the laws of the Ministry of Magic were really...
According to regulations, assuming there is a company called 'Future Company', even if Roger adds a few words 'Roger Future', 'British Future', 'Wizard Future' are all non-compliant company names and are suspected of infringement.
Unless it's called 'No Future', the whole meaning will change.
It is said that there was a very lengthy infringement lawsuit between two companies with very similar names before this overcorrection regulation was made.
After thinking for a moment, since Dawn, New World, Prophet, Second Reality and a series of names that are either auspicious, appropriate, or have their own symbolic meaning are not allowed, Roger decided to come up with something evil.
"This name should not have been registered by anyone," Roger wrote down a string of English letters.
"This one really doesn't exist," the Ministry of Magic staff member nodded after checking.
In the wizarding society, they are not very interested in Muggle new culture, and always feel that it has a bit of a 'collapse of etiquette and music' flavor, so newly emerging Muggle cultural vocabulary and professional vocabulary in Muggle theories are rarely used for company registration.
Although Roger didn't come with Dumbledore this time, many people still know about his relationship with Dumbledore, and the subsequent process was all green lights.
So, in mid-April 1992, Subspace Magic Technology Co., Ltd. was officially established!
Roger's affairs were settled, and Dumbledore also brought good news. The Board of Governors agreed to start a consultation meeting with Roger on the issue of Roger's on-campus recruitment and on-campus training!
Under Dumbledore's arrangement, Roger officially met with the school board members inside Hogwarts.
"Good morning, everyone, I am Roger, the person in charge of Subspace Magic Technology Co., Ltd." Roger's opening statement made it clear in what capacity he was meeting with them this time.
