"Then we can't just make the History of Magic syllabus for the first grade," Joel quickly found the more important point, "We also have to make it for the other four grades."
"Books in a series are more popular. As long as they get a lot of benefit from buying the first book, they will buy the second and third books!" Joel paced back and forth in the dormitory, looking excited.
Sergey shrugged his shoulders, "Then the first-year History of Magic syllabus we made will be suppressed for now?"
"...Fat!" Joel said: "But we must speed up and sort out all the outlines of the history of magic before OWL!"
After the OWL exam, Hogwarts no longer restricts compulsory subjects. The vast majority of students will not continue to take History of Magic in the sixth and seventh grades. No students take this course, which means there is no market.
Eddie also rushed back from the common room, took the History of Magic outline and read it twice, "No problem, I think those lazy students will like this outline!"
"The price is just... 1 galleons, how about it?" Joel thought for a while, "Do you think it's reasonable?"
"It's almost the same. Even a book like "Magic Theory" costs 2 Galleons, and "Advanced Potion Making" costs 9 Galleons. It's not too expensive for us to buy 1 Galleone." Eddie was very impressed with the price.
sensitive.
After coming to the Magic World for more than a month, Joel discovered that the books sold here are extremely expensive. The monthly income of an ordinary wizard in the Magic World is only about 50 Galleons, but a set of spell books (ranging from 3 to 7 books) sells for
The price is only 20 Galleons, equivalent to 40% of a wizard's income, which is ridiculously expensive.
Compared to those books, the 1 galleons' outline of the history of magic is still a good deal.
As long as you pay 1 galleung, you can get a decent score for this year's History of Magic grade, and you don't have to endure reprimands from your parents anymore. It's a great deal when you think about it.
Later in the evening, Joel asked Bobby the owl to fly to the Quick Book stationery store in Diagon Alley with his list of items to buy several automatic writing quills.
For these books, the copy spell has no effect.
The replication spell essentially uses magic to create an identical clone of the original object, but this spell cannot be used on food, money, or living creatures. In Joel's understanding, it is more like a camouflage spell, which only uses magic.
The shape of the item is created, and after the magic dissipates, it will turn into nothingness.
When Sergey made the instructions for Landlords before, these instructions could only be kept for 3 days, and they would also disappear after the magic disappeared.
If books could be copied using copying spells, why would they buy textbooks? Even the printing companies in the wizarding world would not have to work.
They have not contacted the printing house now, so they can only use the simplest method - an automatic writing quill to copy it over letter by letter.
This kind of automatic writing quill pen sells for 2 cents each. The quality is not high. There will be many typos when writing, and they have to proofread it carefully.
Sergey was forced to accept this job because he couldn't keep up with Joel in organizing outlines. In this text-oriented task, Joel made full use of his previous life learning experience to make his ideas clearer and clearer.
Three days later, Eddie left the dormitory with the ten outlines of the history of magic that he had produced in advance. As soon as he arrived in the common room, 8 copies were sold, and each of the eight female freshmen in Ravenclaw bought one copy.
If you're not stupid, you can see how valuable this 100-page booklet is.
As long as you spend 1 galleon to buy this booklet, memorize the key concepts, and complete the exercises from previous years, you will be guaranteed to get an E (Exceeds Expess) grade.
Doesn't it smell good?
Most Ravenclaws care about grades. They don't really love a certain subject, they just don't want to fall behind others.
After seeing this syllabus, many senior students excitedly asked if there was a history of magic syllabus for higher grades. Eddie responded one by one and lied to the outside world that Joel and Sergey had already prepared a template.
I'll wait until I can make a few more copies and sell them to them.
Within an hour, all ten outlines were sold out, which made Joel and the other three even more delighted.
Allen offered to help them find a printing house. He wrote overnight and trusted Grandpa Allen's relationship. They found Obscurus Books as their publisher.
They made an appointment with the book company to meet on Saturday. This time, Joel and the four of them left the castle through the One-Eyed Witch Passage. After arriving at Hogsmeade, they took the Knight Bus to Diagon Alley.
After a bumpy journey, they arrived at No. 18a on the south side of Diagon Alley ten minutes later.
A fat man who looked like a walrus received them. After seeing the templates provided by Joel and others, he readily agreed to the business.
"We print 300 copies at a time, and we charge 1 sieko for each book. For more than 500 copies, we charge 25 copper nat per book." The fat man's voice was like a bell.
"Isn't it okay for less than 300 copies?" Eddie asked.
The fat man hesitated and felt a little embarrassed: "You have to know that if the printing volume is too small, it will be difficult for us to recover the cost, so the fees we have to charge will be higher."
The number of first-year students at Hogwarts is not that large. More than 60 people cannot digest such a huge amount of printing, and the syllabus for the remaining four years of the History of Magic is far away.
"Have you never thought about spreading this book to other countries?" The fat man helped them think of an idea, "There are indeed too few wizards in the UK."
Joel's brain was spinning rapidly. This outline of the History of Magic focused on the founding process of Hogwarts in the early stage, and of course also included some content on the history of magic in Europe...
He could follow suit and make outlines of the history of magic from the other two magic schools in Europe, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons.
But there was a very real problem before him: although there were some books in the Hogwarts library that related to the founding history of the two schools, there were certainly no history of magic exam questions from the two schools.
With only key concepts and no simulation exercises, the effectiveness of the History of Magic review outline will definitely be greatly reduced.
They rushed here with great hope, but reality gave them a blow.
Joel took a deep breath, an idea flashed in his mind, and he whispered his plan into Sergey's ear.
"There seems to be something feasible." Sergey thought for a moment and nodded.
On the pretext of going back and thinking about it seriously, they left Obscurus Books and went to the streets of Diagon Alley.
"What did you just say to Sergey?" Allen was a little curious.
"We still need your help next." Joel stepped forward and grabbed Allen's robe, his eyes sincere.
"Huh?" Allen didn't know why, and Eddie beside him was also confused.
"We are not only going to make review outlines for the history of magic, but also make outlines for other subjects! To dominate the Hogwarts teaching aid market, it's time to show off your potions talent, Alan!" Joel said
