Chapter 11 Take the Route of Industry-University-Research Integration with Hogwarts Characteristics (Part 1)
"Although I really want to understand, and I don't mind signing a confidential magic contract, little one, for you, contract magic is a burden, and I'm sorry."
"What are you talking about and haven't you watched movies, animated TV series?" John returned to the living room with the bottle of wine.
"The little guy has a business idea, and I'm quite interested in it, but he feels that he needs a secret magic contract. I think his age limit is not suitable, and the burden is too heavy for him."
"A business idea requires a confidentiality agreement, so let's implement it on paper first. How about an ordinary business confidentiality agreement? I think with Albus's status in the wizarding world, our family will not violate it easily."
"Oh, that's right, you can also sign a magic contract with me in the name of your family."
"Then let's finalize the filing of the paper contract first. It's really feasible, and then consider the magic contract. I'll go get the paper business confidentiality contract. There are many fixed format contract templates in my workroom."
Signed paper confidentiality agreement
"Muggle business contracts are indeed clearly regulated. This is really a novel experience. Little one, you can tell me what you think."
"There are photos in the wizarding world, but there are no TV and movies in the wizarding world."
"That's right. But in fact, wizards who have such needs will buy Muggle TVs, and then after magical transformation, they can be used normally in the magical world without malfunctioning due to interference from magic. And this kind of use has other
Magic-modified Muggle technology products with their original functions are not restricted by the laws of the wizarding world."
"But being discriminated against by traditional wizards, after all, damages the wizard's sense of superiority, right?"
"E, I really can't deny this. It's the mainstream thinking of pure-blood wizards."
"Let me talk about my idea first. First of all, entering the memory is an immersive holographic imaging experience. This is a completely different experience from traditional Muggle movies and TV series. The scenes are more realistic and far away from the screen.
It’s far beyond compare.”
"Oh, yes, with the current level of science and technology, it is impossible to achieve this effect." John assisted.
"Fake memories, editing and construction are similar to the technical means of film editing and post-production, but they can be completely understood as paintings, sculptures, music performances, such forms of artistic creation and performance shared by wizards and Muggles. Movies are
Known as the seventh art."
"Thinking about it this way, it does make sense."
"This art form was created by Muggles, but expressed through the method of memory, which fully reflects the advantages of traditional magic over Muggle technology. The beginning of magic requires the hard work of several or even dozens of generations of Muggle technology inventors.
Only when a sudden inspiration comes to you can you reach the highest peak. I think this is a very effective way to impress those old diehards in the wizarding world."
"really"
"Last and most important, the emerging application of memory magic, Hogwarts' research and teaching capabilities are obvious to all the wizarding world, and they must be responsible for their duties. And the related user-end production, memory content production, is an emerging industry in the wizarding world
, a newly created big cake, not only has huge benefits, but can also bring more jobs for wizards. And this emerging magic technology product, like Muggle electronic technology products, is universal, and with the diffusion of technology and
Before it is cracked, you can harvest all the gold galleons in the world."
"Baby, your idea is perfect for your age. It does have very good business prospects. However, I am skeptical about whether the magic technology can be realized, and whether there are enough practicing wizards."
"I have to say, little guy, you brought me too many surprises today." Dumbledore took off his glasses and wiped them. "The overall idea is very clear. I just need to research and develop relevant magic according to your ideas."
, making magic props and opening up administrative links can completely form a new industry. Magic and props can be improved and perfected based on the existing finished products in the wizarding world. It is very operable."
"As for John's doubts, I can guarantee that there is no problem at all in relevant magic research, and the problem of the number of practicing wizards will not exist in the short term. Although the number of wizards in the UK is very small, in addition to most pure-blood wizards, many are born in Muggle families.
The job of a wizard actually doesn't have many options."
“Doesn’t your school have career guidance and recommendations?”
"E, many people are recommended to the Ministry of Magic and the Auror Office. But with more than 100 graduates every year, only a few elite students and students from pure-blood families can enter the government department. Others may be recommended to the Wizarding Bank
, Magical Animal Breeding Farm, Magical Plant Farm, Wizarding Hospital. The actual number of graduates who can sign for employment is about 50. Good jobs are always a scarce resource."
"The industrial structure of the wizarding world is really weak to be able to digest such a small number of people. You have to know Albus, the number of professional actors registered by the British Screen Actors Guild alone is tens of thousands. The Muggle film industry is also labor-intensive.
A large-scale industry requires a large number of manpower. If it is a war scene with a huge scene, hundreds or even thousands of extras may be hired. Now I am even more doubtful whether the British wizarding community can support this industry."
"e" Dumbledore felt it made sense and was speechless.
"It's a bit wrong for you to compare the Muggle industry to the wizarding world, John. Constructing scenes through memory basically does not require supporting practitioners such as props, costumes, lighting and sound engineers, unless it is something unimaginable, which may require a physical reference.
Now, in most of these cases, we only need to make a model, which can save costs compared to traditional movies.”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm ignorant."
"It's nothing John, there will be various problems in the emerging industry, not to mention that it only exists in our imagination now. Even I, a wizard who has lived for almost a century, failed to consider the problems you will consider and find out about you.
There is no solution to the problem. But this does not affect the greatness of the little guy’s idea.”
"I think I can go to the school board and propose it."
"No, I don't agree. After all, we are not signing a contract with the school director. If it is a budget issue, you can set up a research team after returning to school and then calculate the budget. Our family can invest in pre-research, and we can discuss how to distribute the magic technology results.
.This idea is ours, and the leadership should belong to us. You are not the only wizarding school in the world, Hogwarts."
