"Mirror, mirror, who is the most beautiful person in the world?" After hearing Ollivander's words, Hans' first reaction was to directly ask the question in Chinese, which most people could not understand.
"Master Hans, what is..." Snape asked John in a low voice.
"He was talking about the fairy tale Snow White, where the Witch Queen asked her about her magic mirror~" Jane explained to everyone, and everyone suddenly understood.
"Use magic mirrors to realize video calls... Ollivander, you are really experienced." Lao Deng sighed, "Using the existing magic and magic mirror production technology, we can observe each other through magic mirrors and transmit sounds.
, it’s not difficult!”
"Oh! Sorry, I didn't notice you were here, Dumbledore." Ollivander simply greeted Old Deng, "When it comes to magic mirrors, Hogwarts has a very strong say -
-"
"We all know the situation of the Mirror of Erised at Hogwarts. The mirror that shows people's inner desires to themselves." Hans raised his hand to signal Ollivander to stop bragging, and then turned his head to Old Deng.
, "If you have ideas, you can communicate with Ollivander and work together to develop a cheaper magic mirror. Start with a 1-to-1 intercom mirror. In addition to making calls, relying on the magic mirror to realize the function of playing film and television works should
Is it simpler?" Hans pointed to the TV on the wall, "After all, it is just a terminal that receives audio and video signals for playback, and there is no need to consider the interaction between the two parties."
"Emmm, it doesn't sound difficult, but the cost of the magic mirror..." Dumbledore didn't know how to explain.
"This is not about making a traditional magic item like Eris that can be passed down for thousands of years. You design it as a consumer product. The enchantment can last no more than 20 years at most and the minimum guarantee is 10 years. I hope the price of selling it is about 20
Between -50 galleons. If you want to make it like Eris, how can ordinary families afford it?" Hans rolled his eyes at Lao Deng, "Think about the flying broomstick. There will be a replacement product in a few years, but the function will still be the same.
The performance is gradually improved, so that this production industry can be maintained and a long-term, safe and stable, emerging employment industry can be provided for Hogwarts graduates. And this manufacturing industry can drive the production and supply of raw materials, and the entire chain industry
The stable development of television. And TV needs to broadcast content, which will give birth to an equally emerging content creation industry."
"The upstream and downstream forms an industrial chain, spanning many fields and forming an industrial network of related interests. Are you planning to build a media group in the wizarding world, little Hans!" The Iron Lady exclaimed, "In addition, the Ministry of Magic also has
I have to obey your orders, and the content review and supervision are actually in your hands, and you can easily monopolize the entire wizarding film and television industry!"
"Don't forget that TV is still a traditional media. Monopoly also means that public opinion is controlled. Public opinion is the best tool to promote ideas and values." Hans's additional explanation made the Iron Lady's eyes flicker, "And the information dissemination channels in the wizarding world are
At present, there are only traditional paper media such as newspapers, periodicals and magazines. They are still living in the era of the industrial revolution. They can easily influence their thinking and manipulate their actions by using the asymmetry of information. They cannot fall into the brainwashing and indoctrination methods of television media.
"
"What is the asymmetry of using information?" Dumbledore asked nervously and doubtfully, "And I don't think that using the media to spread information can brainwash others. This is too unimaginable!"
"Haha!" Hans sneered with contempt, "You have been closed off for too long, and you have no understanding of the various industries in the ordinary world and the government's control measures. Let's not talk about anything else, but the necessities of life in the wizarding world.
For example: what are the prices of milk, chicken, eggs, etc.?"
"One galleon can buy 200 eggs, 10 pints of milk, and 15 pounds of chicken." Dumbledore thought for a moment and then replied, "This is the bulk purchase price at Hogwarts. The retail price may be more expensive, but generally
Wizarding families all raise their own chickens and grow some potatoes and corn, and the cost should be low--"
"My grocery store can buy 27.8 pounds of frozen chicken, 25 pints of milk or 25 dozen (300) eggs for about 5 pounds." Meryl couldn't bear to listen and interrupted Lao Deng's words directly. "
I think you should check to see if your Hogwarts suppliers purchase from ordinary people’s farms and pastures. They still purchase the lowest quality agricultural and sideline products that abuse hormones and antibiotics. Thousands of people use them.
For schools, the bulk purchase price of these daily necessities can be at least 10 points lower. If there is a long-term and stable supply contract, more than 5 years, the price can be easily reduced by 20-30%."
"Although it is different from what I planned to say, if your supplier is really using agricultural and sideline products from the ordinary world to trade in the wizarding world, it is obviously taking advantage of the asymmetry of information to grab high amounts of money.
Profit." Hans continued after Meryl's words. "Just grabbing profits is nothing. The businessmen in the wizarding world may have evil intentions, but they don't have many means. If they learn the methods of capitalist dumping, they will be completely
If you destroy the farming and animal husbandry industry in the wizarding world, you will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others."
"How is this possible?" The three wizards expressed disbelief in unison.
"You should really understand the history recorded by ordinary people. The history and background of the Duck War are enough to prove what I say." Hans gave the three people a big eye roll and started to select the video with the remote control, "Chat with you.
It's so tiring, they are just a bunch of illiterate people. Here, watch it for yourself!" "It's history-Duck Movie War" is playing!
"This war... is really dirty and ugly! The British Muggle Parliament still has such a history? This will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!" Lao Deng's evaluation made the Iron Lady look extremely embarrassed.
"There is no bottom line for capital, which is really unscrupulous. Wizards continue to be self-righteous. When ordinary people one day discover the hidden and unexplored virgin land of the wizarding world, when stagnant magic cannot compete with the ever-changing technology, you and the Qing Dynasty will
The ending must be very different. History is a magic mirror that can truly predict the future!" Hans's words made the three wizards nod in agreement.
"This topic is a bit... too heavy~ I think..." Jane hugged Hans's arm tightly. She finally understood why Meryl's repressive thoughts dominated Hans's attitude!
"Compared with the war against neon, it is much easier to talk about the war invaded by European and American powers. After all, it is relatively far away." Hans's indifferent tone made Jane's mood become even more depressed, and then
His words made her heartbroken: "What's more, the invasion and plunder driven by profit, compared with the inhumane Jinling Massacre and 731--"
