Chapter 708 Prank Goods
"It's really wonderful."
Seeing the funny banner, Harry and Ron cheered, "That's awesome."
They happily squeezed through the crowd and took the lead in squeezing into the joke shop.
Business is booming in the store, and there are customers everywhere. When they squeezed in, they found that the farther they went in, the more people there were, and they couldn't squeeze in front of the shelves.
George took advantage of his height to easily look at the furnishings in the store.
The cardboard boxes were piled up to the ceiling, and it was written in large scrawled characters, "Quick-acting skipping candy." Next to the large letters was an introduction in small letters, introducing the varieties of skipping candy.
Nosebleed nougat is the most sold on the shelf, because it is so popular that only the last half box is left on the shelf.
There were also several open chests containing magic wands.
The clerks were explaining to the customers in front of them that the cheap ones could be turned into rubber chickens and trousers with a flick. The most expensive one can make a lot of fists and beat the opponent hard.
There are also boxes of quill pens on the shelf, with labels indicating their respective uses, including automatic inkjet, spell check, quick answer and other functions.
At this time, there was a commotion in front of the crowd. George looked over there and saw a group of teens watching excitedly as a wooden figure slowly climbed the steps to a realistic set of nooses. These two things are on top of a box.
The box reads: Reusable Scrabble Executioner, if you can't spell the right word, hang him Executioner is a Scrabble toy. It usually consists of a gallows and a villain. If the person participating in the game makes a certain spelling error, the villain will be put on the gallows and executed. !
George looked slowly and thoughtfully. The products in Fred and Joe's Joke Shop are indeed novel, but it's hard to say for a while about their usefulness.
If it is only positioned as a toy, it is difficult for these products to attract customers for a long time.
After all, if he was a teacher, he wouldn't have a good impression of those students when he saw the students pretending to be sick and skipping classes.
Hoax products, if they were meant to evade study, he might consider banning them from schools.
From this year, he will be headmaster of Hogwarts. According to his plans and ideas, Hogwarts will change a lot this year. This year, students need to face many tasks and many changes.
At such a critical time, he could not tolerate some unexpected appearances that would affect his plan.
With his constraints, Fred and Joe's mischievous merchandise, this year or even the next few years, is afraid that it will be difficult to open up sales among students.
If even the students are not going to buy these things. Fred and Joe's products, but it's hard to find other guests, and adult wizards will only be less receptive to these mischievous goods.
George silently mourned for Fred and Joe for a few seconds. Under his iron-fisted management, Hogwarts could not tolerate the best-selling of these joke toys.
Don't blame Fred and Joe for their business acumen, they've done a great job.
The entertainment industry is a huge and enduring industry in life. Under normal circumstances, these goods would have a good market. It's just that they didn't catch up with the good times and just hit the muzzle of George's gun to change Hogwarts.
However, he was not worried about Fred and Joe. Fred and Joe were still young, and this time they were lucky enough to buy the location at the store price.
Their joke toy store, even if the operation is not good in the short term, will not affect their future.
It is even said that a short-term setback can help them. Let them put their minds back on learning and magic. As a wizard, after all, you still need a lot of power.
In just a few minutes, when they squeezed from the door to the counter. George has made up his tragic end to Fred and Joe's joke shop.
After school starts, he will definitely be banned in the school,
Those joke toys that affect students' learning.
In front of the display case on the counter, there is another special patented product from Fred and Joe's store, "Daydream Charm!"
A brightly colored picture was printed on the box: a handsome young man and a fascinated girl, holding hands, standing together on the deck of a pirate ship.
The introductory text on the box says that just by chanting a spell, you can enter a high-quality, utterly lifelike, thirty-minute daydream.
It is suitable for ordinary school classes, and the operation is simple and absolutely imperceptible. Side effects include a dull expression and slight drooling. Not for sale to children under the age of sixteen.
Looking at these meaningful explanations, George couldn't help but wonder. Where did Fred and Joe get those experiences and turn those experiences into magic. It seems that while they were at school, they didn't have a girlfriend.
"This kind of magic is really strange!"
Hermione lowered her head and read the introductory text on the box.
"Long time no see, George," said a voice behind them.
Standing in front of them was a smiling Fred, wearing a red robe that matched his fiery red hair incongruous and dazzling.
"How are you, Harry, hello, Hermione." He patted Ron on the shoulder and gestured towards Harry and the others. "Whatever you like, you can pick a few for free."
Fred turned his body sideways, "There are some novelties in it, I'll show you around."
After getting everyone's approval, Fred took everyone to the inside of the shop, where there was a booth with cards and rope tricks.
"Muggle magic!" Fred pointed them out happily. "Muggle goods, new and cheap, and not illegal. They sell them to my dad's weirdo who likes Muggle stuff. They don't make much money. A lot, but a little water. It's all very interesting stuff.”
"Oh, here comes Joe." Fred beckoned to a wizard who looked exactly like him.
Fred's twin brother, shaking hands warmly.
"Let's keep going and look in the back. That's where we really make the big money."
"If anyone dares to steal, it will be more than Galleon!" He suddenly warned a little boy, who quickly marked "Edible Dark Mark - Whoever eats it is disgusting!" shrunk back on the plastic bottle.
Joe lifted a curtain next to the Muggle magic tricks, and inside was a darker, neater room. The product packaging lined up on the shelf is very low-key, not surprising.
