Chapter 120 The Lake Family Banquet

"This update of monster cards is epoch-making! Because this painting card can really affect reality. This is a brand-new, groundbreaking, and shocking magic! This may open up new avenues for our magic pattern research. "The Gate" - "Magic Monthly"

"Connor Lake, the twelve-year-old young patriarch of the Lake family, founded Lake's Magic Chess and Cards Workshop, and a buying frenzy broke out in Diagon Alley." - "Wizard Weekly"

"The Lake family's series of tricks are dizzying. The reporter visited the Diagon Alley experience store and experienced the magical charm of this store firsthand." - "Daily Prophet"

"We still don't know whether Lake Chess and Cards has conducted more in-depth research on this new type of magic. What changes will magic paintings that can affect reality bring to our wizarding world? And are these changes necessarily benign?" - "Sing sing a different tune"

"The Knott family sued the Lake family for stealing their family's magic. The Lake family denied it, claiming that the Facebook magic pattern was their own. The two parties have not reached a consensus yet, and our reporter is following up on the report." - "The Owl's Secret Garden"

"The magic cards that arrived across the ocean were wildly sought after by British wizards on the other side of the ocean. After reading this article, I will take you to learn about the magical Pokemon cards in three minutes." - "American Times"

After Connor's repeated operations, not only the British wizarding world, but also the entire Europe, North Africa, and even the United States across the ocean...all the wizards who learned about the situation set their sights on this little card.

Various newspapers and periodicals rushed to report on it. Some were touting, some were doubters, some were joking, and some were eccentric. In short, in various senses, Pokemon cards were truly popular in the wizarding world.

Some countries even find it hard to believe how those stodgy British wizards came up with so many new and weird products.

Today's Lake Manor is a bit lively. The Lake family is holding a "family dinner". Everyone is here, including grandfather, Flora, second aunt Elena, second uncle Charles, cousin Blanche, Connor and Ivan. , all sitting on the long table.

The atmosphere was a bit serious, because the grandfather sitting in the main seat kept a sullen face, as if someone owed him money, but Connor next to him knew that he must be secretly having fun. The more lively the house was, the happier his grandfather was.

"Dad, there are still people who think we are engaged in a conspiracy? What about 'Lake's Facebook may eavesdrop on personal privacy'? And you are urging everyone to be careful when buying? Hehe, I watch their production every day. Is there something wrong that I don't know yet? ? I never thought that our products could have such a function!" Second aunt Elena threw away the "Quiet" in her hand and sneered, with an unreasonable face.

But Connor was reading the newspaper seriously, his grandfather was there, Flora raised her glass and took a sip of tea, but no one answered her for a while.

The second aunt was stunned and asked hesitantly: "No. Is it true?"

"."x3

Connor put down the nonsense entertainment tabloid in his hand and said: "Of course not, Aunt Elena, we are serious businessmen, and of course we will not do such despicable things as eavesdropping."

"Hey, let me just say, these little magazines are just chasing rumors. No, this is completely imaginary. I think they are obviously envious of our family's high income." Elena criticized righteously.

"Huh, that's not what you said when I called you back." Grandfather said angrily, which made Elena blush with anger and didn't care. Grandfather turned to Flora and said:

"Flora, there are a lot of things in the workshop, are you still busy?"

"Fortunately, except for the previous negotiation with the Morgan family, which was a bit unpleasant, everything else went smoothly. All the major families in Europe are very willing to sell us face." Flora talked eloquently, her thoughts were clear and organized, and her temperament as a boss became more and more important. Richer

"Well, that's good. We will try to sell our monster cards to every wizard gathering place within half a year. I will go to Egypt again in a while. I plan to open a few more factories there." Grandfather quickly and Flora chatted happily, Connor rolled his eyes and started reading the boring magazine in his hand again.

Connor felt that he was out of tune with the group of highly motivated Slytherins in his family. He was obsessed with talking about business during every meal.

In fact, the popularity of Yokai cards has brought quite a lot of excitement to these people in the family.

Only a week after it went on sale, the monster cards were already almost out of stock. The production speed could not keep up at all. The enthusiasm of the wizards shocked my grandfather. There were piles after piles, no, tons after tons. Of gold galleons.

I understand that the wealthy generation like my grandfather, who has seen too much money and never takes money seriously, was shocked to death. After living for decades, he now realizes how easy it is to make money.

Although the previous monster cards were also very popular, they were only popular in the UK and a few nearby countries, and the audience was still biased towards young people.

Although the gameplay of monster cards is very interesting and the picture cards are beautiful, they still belong to the category of "toys" in the eyes of some people. No matter how popular the toy is, it is still a toy, and there will always be some people who will dismiss it.

But... when the new version of the three-dimensional picture card appears, the monster card is more than just a toy, its own "magic charm" attracts more attention!

Those who didn't know about it before may want to learn about it because of this magical magic and then buy the new version of the Yokai card.

And Connor feels that from the moment you touch my monster card, you are already my prisoner.

Cheating, you are so confident.

Now, the focus of the Lake family's industry has all shifted to Monster Cards, such as the magic snacks they used to operate, packaging other products... all of these previous "old businesses" were left to the younger brother.

Grandfather is mainly responsible for official matters, Flora is responsible for sales, Aunt Elena is responsible for production, and Connor is responsible for providing technical support.

A big family with a clear division of labor.

The house elf served the food, and my grandfather stopped talking, started the meal, and then resumed chatting.

"By the way, Connor, what kind of animation company did you set up in the Muggle world? How's it going?" Grandfather asked Connor, but Connor knew he was asking Uncle Charles.

Connor's eyes suggested that Charles nodded and said: "Let me tell you, I have always managed Lake Company. Currently, only the copywriting, planning and editorial department is in operation... In addition, the main structure of the company has been established. Now, the main work now is to set up the production department, and we are recruiting painters."

People are forced to come out, no, two months have passed, and uncle Charles, a street writer, has transformed into a domineering president, and he has also managed the company in a good way.

The last time Connor went to the company to inspect on behalf of the "board of directors", he knew that the company was almost done.

The administrative department, finance department, human resources department and distribution department are all set up (at least the office is set up). As long as the painters are in place, all tools and equipment are ready, and they can draw according to the script. That’s it.

Ciel didn't know what method he used to poach an editorial manager from Marvel (Ciel: In the Muggle world, you can do anything you want with money).

Now it seems that a British version of Marvel Comics will soon be born under Connor.

The company's next plan is to release Lake Comic, followed by animation, peripherals, and movies. At present, everything seems to be on the right track.

After listening to Charles' long speech, my grandfather pretended to understand, nodded, and ignored Uncle Charles.

He turned his head, smiled like a chrysanthemum, and said, "Little Blanche, have you chosen the school you want to go to?"
