Before the train reached the Hogwarts platform, news spread that Harry Potter had passed out when facing the Dementors. Naturally, his archenemy Draco Malfoy would not miss this opportunity to give Harry a hard blow.
But this has nothing to do with Joel. He is still busy discussing the Hogwarts school magazine with several roommates.
"So we, CLBT, are going to make a comeback?" During the sorting ceremony, Eddie, who was sitting on the Ravenclaw table, heard the news and was eager to give it a try.
In the past two years, he tried to start a small business on his own, selling some small items that were only available in the Muggle world in school. Not to mention the hard work, the profits he earned were quite meager - once the price was raised, many people who were also born in Muggles
Students from all over the world come to grab business.
In the past two years, he has only made a little more than a hundred galleons here and there, which is not even a fraction of what he earned from clearing the entire CLBT magic course.
Eddie admires his roommate Joel's ability to make money. He always has various ideas for making money.
"That's it," Joel raised his head and glanced at the teacher's chair, where a new student was sitting on a four-legged stool nervously putting a hat on his head, "Eddie, you are responsible for selling the advance version of the magazine and opening up sales for us.
Alan and Sergey will be responsible for part of the manuscript, and the content of the manuscript will be about the subject knowledge that you two are good at..."
The two roommates nodded in unison. Of course they would not refuse the great opportunity to make money, and at the same time, they could make their presence felt in front of the students.
"What about me? I just sell magazines?" Eddie felt a little sad and angry after hearing this. He felt that he was just like a salesman in the Muggle world. The job that Joel arranged for him made him feel unchallenged and difficult.
Isn’t it that Eddie Carmichael’s worth is selling magazines to three introverted roommates?
"Don't worry," Joel placed his palm heavily on Eddie's shoulder with a serious expression, "The organization still has important things to entrust to us."
Eddie burst into tears upon hearing this.
"I plan to open a Quidditch column in the magazine. I need to collect data on monthly Quidditch events, and then select one or two for analysis and evaluation," Joel explained, "Quidditch at Hogwarts."
The atmosphere is very strong, and your understanding of Quidditch tactics is absolutely top-notch, which will help us increase sales a lot."
Eddie's face flushed with excitement when he heard Joel's words. He was confident that he would show off his skills in what he was good at.
The sorting ceremony ended in a hurry. Joel and his three roommates devoted themselves to the work of producing the Hogwarts school magazine. Haylis had nothing to do. She was not good at interpersonal communication. Except for Herbology, she was good in various subjects.
None of their abilities are particularly outstanding - Joel, Alan and Sergey have very high standards in specific fields. Haylis's ability to get first in grade mainly depends on balance. She has worked hard to make herself better.
Not biased.
In terms of investment, Joel suggested registering a company in Diagon Alley. He took the lead in investing 2,500 Galleons, Alan and Eddie each invested 500 Galleons, and Haylis also invested 1,000 Galleons when she had nothing to do (the rich woman also wanted to
Cast more but was beaten by Joel
Stopped), all Sergey’s money was used to pay off his father’s gambling debts, or the other four people discussed and determined the total shareholding to be 5,000 Galleons, and the remaining 500 Galleons were regarded as Sergey’s shareholding, to be obtained
It is then deducted from the income.
In this way, the share ratio of the company called "Raven Faith" was determined, with Joel holding 50%, Haylis 20%, and Allen, Eddie and Sergey each holding 10%.
Joel planned to make the cover of the magazine's first issue the principal of Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore. On the morning of two days after school started, Joel successfully found the principal at the teacher's bench, and he was stuffing it into his mouth.
A piece of honey bread.
"Use my photo?" Dumbledore was a little surprised at first when he heard Joel's words, but then he laughed, "No problem, I also think it's appropriate for me to be the cover of the first issue of the magazine.
"
The two of them found an empty corridor. Joel took the magic camera that Haylis lent him and took a full-body photo of Dumbledore. In front of the camera, Dumbledore was wearing a moon-white robe with a kind smile on his face.
, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking affable.
The content of the first issue of the magazine is very thick. Joel invited Professor Flitwick to write a message. The magazine also contains the following parts: Basic spell skills written by Sergey, teaching how to quickly cast obstacles and spells from multiple angles.
Allen also came up with the bottom-of-the-box trick - the concise method for refining the Living Hell Potion; Eddie contributed his in-depth review of the 1990 Quidditch World Cup finals.
In addition, a special page was set aside to publish the anecdotes of Hogwarts these days. Joel also made a special report on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts over the years. Many students expressed their disapproval of the annual change.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is extremely interested.
After finishing the layout of the entire content, Joel looked at the manuscript of the magazine, which was more than 20 pages thick. He always felt that the selling point of this magazine was not attractive enough. Why do students have to spend money to buy this magazine?
Although the content in the magazine is of great value, you must know that a magazine can be circulated among many people. Although Joel does not expect to make much money from this magazine, he cannot be taken advantage of and lose gold and galleons.
For the first issue of the magazine, he only used "his own people." If the subsequent magazine's invitations were to target other senior students and professors, it would be unjustifiable not to pay them. In addition, the production line of publication, printing and distribution requires a steady stream of money.
galleons.
A simple idea popped into Joel's mind and he decided to put it into action.
Two weeks after the start of school, the first batch of 150 magazines successfully arrived at Hogwarts.
Eddie began to fulfill his duties, but in fact he didn't put much effort at all. The magazine named "Hogwarts" was sold out within two days.
The students were very satisfied with the content in the magazine. When Joel formulated strategies, he tried to take care of every type of student in Hogwarts Castle so that they could find interesting content in the magazine. For a time, the school magazine
The topic was all the rage at Hogwarts.
What interests them the most is the lottery number on the last page of the magazine. The number is unique and cannot be copied, but this black technology cost Raven Faith Company 300 gold galleons. This is one of Joel's methods to attract students to buy.
Every time you purchase a magazine, you will get a lottery number, and the winner list of the previous issue will be announced when the next issue of the magazine is released.
The first prize is a silver necklace provided by the Selwyn Family Company, the second prize is a complete solution to the CLBT magic course, and the third prize is a box of Bibi's multi-flavored beans, the signature snack of Bote Company.
The three prizes were all raised by the sponsors and cost no money at all. The students flocked to them and enjoyed the pleasure of winning.
