NOVEL NEXT Arms dealer from Hogwarts
Chapter 47 If You Can't Get It, You'll Be Destroyed!
Chapter 47 If You Can't Get It, You'll Be Destroyed!
After the game, Harry was in a bad mood.
A feeling of being sorry for the people and the audience emerged spontaneously. Harry lowered his head, not daring to look at other people's eyes at all. He was really afraid of seeing disappointment in those people's eyes.
"Don't be sad, Harry, you fly very well." Wood, who was in a bad mood, comforted Harry, who was also in a bad mood.
"But I still lost, no matter in terms of technique or broom, I am worse than Jemini." Harry was dejected.
"Oh—that's fine." Fred waved his hand disinterestedly: "You're not the only one who is less skilled than him. He can fly without a broom, let alone ride a broom."
"We all know your skills. The existence of that guy is a kind of foul. It's not your fault. It's the same with Charlie." George spread his hands.
Although he was comforted by everyone, Harry still couldn't adjust his mood well.
On the Quidditch pitch, a group of Slytherin snakes surrounded Jemini, chirping excitedly, and Draco shouted with a complacent look: "I'll just say, between you His strength is not even a star!"
As he spoke, he looked at Harry triumphantly, as if he had caught a snitch with such a triumphant look.
Jemini was naturally very happy about winning the game, although he didn't get carried away like Draco.
On the second weekend of Slytherin's win over Gryffindor, Hufflepuff beat Ravenclaw in a match.
But Ravenclaw's Kitty Eagles were not too disappointed. Their new Seeker, Qiu Zhang, was only a second-year girl. Derek was still close.
This marks the end of the first Quidditch season of the term, with the final final between Slytherin and Hufflepuff to be held after the final exams in June of the following year.
"Where did you get your broom?"
"I picked it up."
Jemini replied to Snape's question after the game.
Fortunately, Snape didn't make things difficult for him too much. After all, he said before that he wouldn't buy a broom for Jamie, so they got a better one. It's obviously unreasonable to blame Jemini for not telling him.
Not to mention that the broom was ridiculously fast, and Jamie had won the competition, so Snape didn't bother Jamie any more about the broom.
The days after the game gradually became dull. Apart from the weekly Quidditch training and night tour, there was nothing to make Jamie feel turbulent, unless it was a group of Slytherin seniors who came to trouble him , might make him a little excited.
But it's a pity that the Slytherin students are now eager to confess Jemini...
A peaceful life will become boring after a long time. At this time, Jemini finally remembered his old profession.
In fact, from the very beginning, Jemini knew very well that coming to Hogwarts would definitely affect his ability to make money.
There is no other reason. The population of the wizarding world is too small, and the economic market is too small. After searching the entire British wizarding world, there are not many people who can take over tens of millions of pounds.
Families like Malfoy may be able to get it out, but it's not that Jemini looks down on them. After all, these pure-blood families are just living on their laurels, and there is no good way to make money.
The reason why he came to Hogwarts was that Jemini had no room to refuse on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was to fulfill his dream in his previous life.
This was Hogwarts, and it would be bragging to say you didn't want to come here.
But there is one thing to say, after coming here, it really affected Jemini's financial resources.
Although he is not in a hurry for so many years, the feeling of the collision between ideals and money really makes Jemini feel a little uncomfortable...
So-
"I want to buy the Philosopher's Stone, please make a price."
It was another night of night tour, and Jamie met Dumbledore again, who also did not sleep.
"Oh hehe... I guessed that you would be interested in that thing." Dumbledore said cheerfully: "Mr. Fox, how much do you think it is worth?"
"A stone with magical power, no matter how magical it is, it is still a stone in essence." Jemini squeezed his chin and thought about it for a while: "10 Nats, no more."
Dumbledore seemed startled by this shameless answer. He looked at Jemini with a face full of surprise, and it took him a long time to speak slowly: "Minerva told me that you are a kid who is very good at making money. I didn't believe it before." , Now I believe it, I think even the vampires in Eastern Europe will be ashamed and angry when they see you."
Jamie shrugged. "Thanks."
"But it's a pity, child. After all, it is not my property." Dumbledore said kindly: "It belongs to my old friend, and we have unanimously decided to destroy it."
"The last Philosopher's Stone in human history should be regarded as the cultural heritage of wizards, right?" Jemini sighed leisurely: "In a sense, you are committing a crime."
"The existence of the Philosopher's Stone will arouse people's greed. If it can really disappear in history, that would be a good thing." Dumbledore said slowly.
"It's a pity, that's the treasure that turns stone into gold..." Jemini sighed sadly: "If you give it to me, it can save a lot of trouble..."
Dumbledore blinked: "It seems that you don't care that it can make the elixir of life, but you care about those external things?"
"Who wouldn't care?" Jemini spread his hands.
It's just an elixir, but it's not real life. Just look at Nicole Flamel in the movie-his bones are brittle.
"I guess the elixir of life can only greatly prolong people's lifespan, and it certainly won't be the real immortality, so I pay more attention to turning stones into gold. After all, money is not everything, but without money, it is absolutely impossible." Jie Mini spread out his hands: "With money, I can buy whatever I want."
"I don't quite agree with your idea, Fox." Dumbledore felt that as the headmaster, he had the obligation to correct Jemini's wrong idea: "Love, time, health, these cannot be bought with money. "
"That's right..." Jamie laughed and said, "But you are changing the concept secretly. Can't I have these things while I have money? If I don't have these things and have no money at the same time, wouldn't that be even worse? ?”
Dumbledore: "..."
"Money can satisfy most human desires, and when the desires are satisfied, even if they are not happy, at least they will have positive emotions such as happiness and happiness. In this case, if you still say that you are unhappy, then this person is not greedy. It’s just hypocrisy, no matter what kind, it’s not a good thing.”
As Jemini said, he sneered: "So, I hate those guys who are sitting on Baoshan and shouting that they are unhappy every day."
What regrets Ali, what does not know the beauty of his wife...
What do you think you are pretending to be?
Donate if you regret it!If he doesn't know how beautiful his wife is, give him an ugly one!When the time comes, will you see if he barks again?
Dumbledore was relieved and helpless.
The good news is that Jamie has a clear head, and he will not go down the crooked path like Voldemort; the helpless thing is that because his head is too clear, it is estimated that he will not go on the right path either...
Jemini isn't disappointed that Dumbledore intends to destroy the Philosopher's Stone, which isn't to say he takes it lightly.
The main reason is that he can't get it, and others don't want to get this ugly psychology...
If you can't lose it, you will destroy it!jie jie jie jie~
Of course, this kind of ugly psychology is nothing more than self-consolation. Apart from this kind of psychology, it is more of a kind of open-mindedness. It is true that Jemini likes money, but he likes the sense of accomplishment when he makes money. , and the goods in the weapon shop, pure wealth is not very attractive to him.
So although he felt a pity that the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed, it was good to enjoy the campus life in Hogwarts quietly.
——I am a dividing line——
About the price of Harry Potter at that time——
First of all, the background of Harry Potter is in the early 90s, so if you feel that the price is unreasonable, you must first consider the current era!
In the early 90s, my dad’s salary was more than 700 yuan a month, which was very high in our small place, but it was only about 50 pounds according to the exchange rate of the British pound at that time.
In the previous article, the price of the Leaky Cauldron Bar was priced at 10 cents a day with breakfast and dinner. Converted into RMB, it was about 50 yuan, which was already very high in terms of domestic prices at that time. At that time, a single room in a good guest house was only 30 yuan. , a hotel of 60 yuan is already a very good condition.
Even in the UK, with the environment of the Leaky Cauldron, which has been around for hundreds of years, and the convenience of wizards' magic, 10 Sickles is not a lot at all!
In the third book of the original book, Prisoner of Azkaban, the price for Harry to take the Knight Bus is fourteen Sickles, plus three Sickles may get sandwiches and hot cocoa.
This price seems high at first glance, but if you look carefully at the place names that appear in that section, you will find one thing.
Harry's journey from Privet Drive to the Leaky Cauldron was not direct. In just a short while, the Knight Bus ran a full circle around Britain!It's faster than taking a fighter jet!
Has anyone ever flown on a £5 flight?
So in fact, for the prices in the magic world market in this book, I have carefully weighed them according to the economic situation at that time and the purpose of the items. Even if it is slightly cheaper, the deviation will not be too big.
The other is the selling price of the protagonist's weapon.
For example, the previous spider serum, the protagonist called for 2000 million pounds, which some people thought was cheap.
In fact, not only do you think it is cheap, I also think that if this thing is sold for 20 billion now, someone will definitely buy it.
But first of all, everyone should know that as a commodity, if it cannot be sold, then it has no value at all!
The only value of the 'commodity' is the money you get from selling it.
It was sold to Red for 2000 million because he could only take out 2000 million. He was selling a kidney, and the most he could get was an extra apple.
After weighing the other party's economic strength, it is still necessary to come up with a price that the other party cannot afford. At first glance, it seems quite suitable, but without ten years of cerebral thrombosis, it is impossible to do such a thing...
The main character's purpose is to make money, not to pretend.
Many used things are priced too high, how many can afford it?
The spider serum was only a few thousand pounds in the weapons store, and he would make a profit even if he sold it for 2000, let alone [-] million.
PS: The initial valuation of spider serum was a bit too cheap. At that time, I wanted the protagonist to have a certain combat power in the early stage. It was a bit inconsiderate, but it doesn’t matter. It’s just a novice benefit, and the price will be adjusted if there are serum items later.
Finally, it is about the fact that some people think that the protagonist is too easy to get hooked up, and it is easy to earn tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
Actually not.
First of all, the magic world.
The thin population base and the small market environment prove that they cannot control too much wealth, and not all pure-blood families are rich, and it is not necessarily that their money is hundreds of thousands of galleons, which is unrealistic , maybe there are, but certainly not many.
So in terms of volume, it is impossible for the protagonist to make tens of millions of orders in the magic world. At most, he can sell a curious product, such as the Armstrong cyclotron jet Armstrong cannon or something...
The second is the Muggle society. With the protagonist’s situation, it is impossible to sell arms on a large scale. I had this idea at first, but my editor-in-charge, Penglai, passed it down. The main reason is that I am worried about the river crab, and the protagonist will not be able to fight with the government. There are transactions, no matter which country it is, it just doesn’t work, I can only say that the water here is very deep, and everyone knows everything...
The last point, I think I should make it very clear. Although Jemini is not very emotional and puts more emphasis on interests, he is essentially a person who is very principled, has a bottom line, and has his own persistence.
So far, none of the readers have expressed dislike for the character of Jamie, which proves that I have successfully portrayed this character, at least it is very pleasing.
And the reason why everyone likes him is not because he is a gentleman, has a sense of humor, and at the same time has a bottom line and principles?
The protagonist went up and puffed and killed several Muggle rich men with a few knives, and then he was a good guy on the spot.
So even if the hanging is relatively large, due to various restrictions and reductions, the protagonist may be strong in the first half, but it is only relative to ordinary people. You don’t have to worry about strength, I will maintain a good balance status.
Above, just sauce!
