Chapter 32 Loser, Please Learn to Spend Money

Teaching a group of second-year teenagers to master the skills of defense against the dark arts, Kane is actually not very interested in this.

Lupine was a little excited to hear that he, too, might be a professor at Hogwarts.

And when he saw the employee benefits of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce, he was very excited, very excited.

He was allotted a house in Hogsmeade village.

Kane said that this is called one room with multiple uses, which is not only a benefit, but also a rope, or an advertisement.

Lupine knew the concept of advertising, he just didn't quite understand why the house became an advertisement.

"One of the newly expanded businesses of the chamber of commerce is building and selling houses. The houses assigned to all employees are equivalent to display models."

Only then did Lupine know that the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce was also building and selling houses.

In fact, it is not only for sale, but also a big sale. The whole set is sold, and it is also sold apart. It is really like selling a model, which can be combined at will, or a certain functional part can be selected at will.

But if you really want to go into the details, it's nothing. It is common in Muggle society, the main difference is that it has been magicalized.

So the one that Lupine got was pretty decent in appearance, with two floors and an attic with a pointed roof.

Considering the overall style of the houses in Hogsmeade, the roofs are covered with magic thatch instead of bricks.

Kane told Lupin that this place was only temporary, and that the house that really belonged to him was located in the middle of the mountain in the north of the village, Fir Mountain Villa, there.

Lu Ping had noticed before that there was a lot of construction going on there, and the project was not small. Only now did he know that it was a construction project of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce.

"That's enough to satisfy me."

Lu Ping was not being polite, but in his eyes, this cozy little house was really nice, with a lawn of more than ten square meters in front and a small fenced yard in the back, but the inside of the house was different.

Constantly stretching the spell without trace, the interior space of the house is very large, and the usable space of the attic is more than 400 square meters. This is not the basement of more than 100 square meters. The small window seen from the outside is seen from the inside. Large windows with good lighting.

In other aspects, it is really not much different from the houses that ordinary people live in, except that the kitchen utensils are magical. The furniture is complete, and it is not lighting candles, but magic lamps, so you can move in with your bags.

"It's okay, but in terms of safety, compared with Fir Mountain Villa, it is still a few chips away." Kane said, pointing out the most critical settings in this room, energy stones, master control runestones.

He explained: "Wizard wars have made everyone have higher requirements for the safety of houses. The kind of houses that are destroyed by death eaters just a few times can no longer meet people's needs. .”

"This kind of house launched by the chamber of commerce has window gates and door gates. As long as the energy stone is continuously supplied, the protection will be excellent. The mysterious person will not be able to break through it for a while. If you buy advanced protection, you can even perform magic spells." Counterattack. If it is impossible, you can also use the one-way teleportation fireplace in the basement to go to the densely populated Muggle prosperous place. Of course, if you have the ability, you can also set the refuge at the Office of the Minister of Magic."

Lupine sighed: "If only James and Lily had a house like this."

"Yeah, that's why I suffer from a long memory. If my nest is not safe and warm enough, I will feel very insecure, as if all the achievements of my struggle will be lost at any time."

"Well, I agree, especially for a wandering person like me, who has long wanted to have a stable home. You said that the house in Fir Mountain Villa is safer? I can't even imagine what it would be like."

"The ancient magic circle, in addition to protecting individual facilities, the entire manor also has overall protection capabilities."

"Tsk tsk, it's a fight with Hogwarts."

"In terms of safety protection alone, it's better." Kane said with certainty.

This is really not bragging, he is the chief designer, the technical power used by Fir Shanzhuang,

Naturally he knows everything.

However, he didn't discuss this issue in depth, which doesn't fit his current status. He changed the subject and said, "So, how many years are you going to sign the mortgage contract? The longest is twenty years, and the shortest is five years." He produced a contract and handed it to Lupine.

Lupine took it over, read it carefully, and then made some calculations before saying, "I think five years is not bad."

"In that case, you would only have one hundred Galleons per month, plus bonuses and annuities, the average would be two hundred. Are you really determined to save money?"

Lupine's eyes widened. "Do you think having more than a hundred Galleons per month is enough to save money?"

"Ahem!" Kane realized that he had slipped his tongue a bit. With the average consumption level of wizards in this era, more than one hundred gold galleons is not a small amount.

Moreover, Flack Owen is also a poor kid, and he has to allocate part of his monthly salary to support his mother and younger siblings. How can he have such an attitude towards money from a wealthy person?

"Well, what I mean is, you must have other needs, such as dating with a girlfriend, strengthening your abilities, etc. Is it too late to start dating after paying off the mortgage?"

Lupine frowned, thinking that what Kane said made sense, he was already thirty, already an older youth. "Ten years then. I don't think I will marry a lady who fell in love with Jin Gallon."

"Having said that, it must be said that you have to change your consumption concept."

"Oh?"

Kane first asked Lupine to sign the form that should be signed, and gave Lupine the contract and keys to the other party.

Then, using the fireplace in the basement, I went directly to Aberdeen.

Kane led Lupine along and introduced: "This property belongs to us, and it is disguised as a theater that mainly performs stage plays."

"Stage Theater!?"

"That's right. From the perspective of Muggles, only the explanations of theater actors can make them eliminate their curiosity about most wizards' attire."

"You mean wizards dress differently in the eyes of Muggles."

"Very, eccentric. The eccentric that would never dress up like that, except for masquerade, Halloween, or raves."

Kane said again: "Since it is a theater, there is makeup, there is makeup, including a full set of washing, cutting, blowing, and clothing tailors, etc. The chamber of commerce has requirements on the dress of employees. I am performing a task, not Formal wear."

So I went to measure the size first, then went to wash, cut and blown, and when I came back, the clothes had been cut.

"Need as many as ten sets?"

"In fact, six sets are enough, two sets of winter clothes, summer clothes, spring and autumn clothes, but you have to have casual clothes, right? Your own can only be used as work clothes, or only for special occasions."

"And what about doubled shirts and stuff like that?"

"The etiquette regulations needed by the chamber of commerce cannot be solved by just cleaning up. This is not just a question of whether it is clean or not. But if you don't change your shirt, it will be considered as not coming home last night. A man who is not at home, in the At some point it will be seen as a faux pas and a lack of credibility."

"Am I going to do diplomatic work?"

"No, but the chamber of commerce does not want to affect the image of the chamber of commerce because any employee is inappropriately dressed in formal occasions."

"Okay, so what's next?"

"Three treasures that show a man's charm and taste, watches, ties, pins, and leather shoes."...

Lupine finally saw what consumption concept needs to be changed.

Following Kane, he felt like he was going to be a duck. The amount of money spent was thrilling, and it was all hard indicators. If you don’t spend it, you can’t do it. After a series of consumption, his salary for a year will be in vain. .

"This is already an internal price. The Chamber of Commerce will subsidize at least 30%. There will be no such good opportunities in the future. In general, if you can make money, you need to match the consumption power. It can't be like the past. So shabby, it's not a suggestion, it's a rule."

"This rule also..."

"Unfriendly? The boss said that this is precisely part of the corporate culture of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce. We are not cultivating misers, but cultivating people who can live and work hard to make money. Only those who can spend money can make money and know better The importance of making money. It can even cultivate a sense of honor, gain a sense of accomplishment, and strengthen centripetal force."

"Look at the disgraced people around you, and think about who else can provide you with a job opportunity. It is not easy to be a successful person, with at least the dignity that a successful man should have. As for how difficult it is, debt and high consumption It will always remind you that you need to forge ahead, remind you that there are many people chasing after you, and there are many people who are not inferior to you in ability, but just lack an opportunity."

"Well, I feel like I've joined a very unusual organization."

"Well, there is a bit of conceptual shock. But as the boss said, you will get used to it, including getting used to the envious eyes of those people looking at you and trying to get close to you."

Lupine sighed: "I thought our boss had experienced a tragic escape, but now I believe that she actually went to a noble academy for further study."

"Maybe it's because she finally discovered the truth that God Money is the only supreme god in this world."
