Chapter 104 Seizing Business Opportunities
"I really don't know what you're trying to do. What's the use of this thing?"
Bringing his newly researched product to Zabini Magic Item Store, Lu Yunkai handed the sample mirror in his hand to his best brother Blaise at Hogwarts, and heard his question.
"Why is it useless?" Lu Yunkai spread his hands, "You write on it, and I can receive it immediately... This is a very complicated spell..."
"What's complicated! Isn't it just a revealing spell and a binding spell, plus a fixing spell at most..." Mrs. Zabini interrupted.
"Madam, Blaise shouldn't know any of the spells you mentioned?" Lu Yunkai glared at her, "And it's not that simple at all!"
Young people talk, and old people interrupt! !
Do you know that I didn't sleep for five consecutive days in order to make a mirror able to send messages to two mirrors alone or at the same time?
"That's because you're stupid. This effect..."
"An owl can do it! What do you need this thing for?" Blaise interrupted his mother.
"It takes at least half a day for me to write an owl message and for you to receive it?" Lu Yunkai shook his head. "But my product allows you to receive it immediately after I write it on my side, and my mirror can now send messages to four people at the same time, and you can choose to let one or more of them see it... Well, although four is not a lot, don't you think it's interesting?"
"It's so complicated!" Blaise interrupted Lu Yunkai's introduction.
"Oh! You don't understand!" Lu Yunkai sighed as if a summer insect can't talk about ice.
If you live another 30 years, you have the ability to not use this thing?
Oh, wizards may not really use it...
"Can it be seen by everyone, or by a specific person among them?"
Hearing Lu Yunkai's words, Mrs. Zabini was stunned.
She immediately realized the value of this thing.
If she also had one, she would send a message to Blaise when she needed to talk to her son, and contact Lu Yunkai when she needed to talk about business matters...
Very practical! !
"Yes!" Seeing that Mrs. Zabini finally got the idea, Lu Yunkai nodded with satisfaction.
"That's an owl..."
"Can you let an owl send messages to me, Draco, and Daphne at the same time, and let us see them at the same time?" Lu Yunkai explained to Blaise who didn't understand yet.
"Is it necessary? At worst, we can just let the owl send messages a few more times."
"Well, for example, the four of us agreed to go to Diagon Alley to play, and you want to choose next Thursday, but Draco said he has something to do on Thursday, so why not Friday, and Daphne has to accompany her mother on Friday, and I am only free on Sunday... Come on, calculate how long it will take you to finish the message with an owl?" Lu Yunkai continued to ask.
"..." Blaise was confused.
Mrs. Zabini on the side laughed.
When he looked at Lu Yunkai again, his eyes were full of admiration.
Don't say it, this kind of thing may really happen. Just like when she and her best friends want to go out and play together, they use owls to send messages and sometimes they can't decide for a month. They can only get together to discuss it when they have time, and then they can decide.
If there is such a thing, how great it would be!
"How many mirrors are there in a set?" Mrs. Zabini is already very interested in Lu Yunkai's product.
"This thing doesn't matter in sets." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "You only need one, and then exchange a number with another person who holds this mirror, and you can send messages to this person."
"... Number?"
"Yes." Lu Yunkai nodded, "This number is the number of this mirror in an information transfer system I established. The message you send to another number will be transferred there and will appear on the mirror with the corresponding number."
"Then can't I make a mirror myself?"
"Your mirror doesn't have a number in my information transfer station, and there is no related magic!"
"Your thing sounds like it has something to do with the method Granger came up with to help you convey owl letters?" Blaise, who had understood a little bit, interrupted.
"That's where I got the inspiration." Lu Yunkai nodded.
And this thing is called a call center in the Muggle world... ahem.
"How far have you progressed in this research?"
Mrs. Zabini, who had already fully understood it, blushed with excitement.
After the baptism of Lu Yunkai's lucky bag sales, she had already opened up a little bit of her business sense and had completely understood the business opportunities in Lu Yunkai's stuff.
"Let's try the five mirrors first." Lu Yunkai said this very seriously, "After all, I built the transfer station myself, and the communication capacity is very limited. I am worried that it will have problems because it is not reliable enough. Let's run it for a while first, and then after returning to school, I plan to add some more..."
"Don't!! This matter can't be delayed!" Mrs. Zabini interrupted Lu Yunkai, "You said five mirrors, who did you give it to except this one?"
"Tomorrow is the day when Draco and I agreed to visit the potion master, and I happened to give him his one. We can test it first tomorrow night. What?"
"Don't give it to him!! Let me handle this thing of yours!" Mrs. Zabini didn't care about her son's stunned face next to her, and she was so excited that she even spoke in a girlish voice.
"...You?"
"If the news about you leaks out, people from the Ministry of Magic will probably intervene before you can escape. By then we... ahem, you will have nothing left here." Mrs. Zabini also suddenly realized that her son was still there, and hurriedly He calmed down a little and said, "They even monitor owl communications. They can't just let this kind of thing go unchecked."
"...Hmm." This Lu Yunkai understood.
"We must build this thing directly so that the people who join it are strong enough to unite to resist the intervention of the Ministry of Magic." Mrs. Zabini continued: "At that time, we only need to collect the communication fee to maintain the mirror every month. You can have enough food and clothing.”
"...You think further than I do."
Lu Yunkai sighed softly.
I just want to be a mobile phone buyer, and Mrs. Zabini just wants to be a telecom operator!
Such ambition! !
"Bruce! You really...have made a good friend!"
Mrs. Zabini thought that if every wizard in England had a mirror in their hands, even one person would only have to pay himself five gold galleons a month...
So excited! !
"Don't you think it's a pity that he is not your son?" Blais looked at his mother who wanted to tie Lu Yunkai to her side, with a black line on her forehead.
He said this very restrainedly, but in fact, what he was thinking about was another...
"Damn kid! What are you talking about!!"
Mrs. Zabini finally woke up from the extreme excitement after being complained about by her own son, and her expression showed a little embarrassment.
"I think I should give Draco a mirror first. After all, what I need now is to check whether this thing is stable or not." Lu Yunkai also felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and quickly changed the topic, "Sell directly without testing. Go, what if something goes wrong in the future?”
"You can give it to me first... Ahem, well, then you should study it first! By the way, can you give me this mirror first?"
"Oh, sure." Lu Yunkai glanced at Blaise, whose face was already very dark, and felt a little regretful.
He shouldn't be allowed to meet in Diagon Alley today.
If I had known that Mrs. Zabini would follow, I might as well have gone to his house myself!
This thing is making a fuss...
"Okay, is there nothing else?" Blais flinched a little when he saw Lu Yunkai looking at him, and he was too embarrassed to be angry with Lu Yunkai.
To be honest, why should he be angry with Lu Yunkai over this matter? It's his mother there...
well! How can a son blame his mother?
Headache.
"No more. You should accept this mirror first. I will bring another mirror to Mrs. Zabini the day after tomorrow." Lu Yunkai was still a little cautious when he spoke, "I can also try to add an extra mirror to the original one." What an impact it has.”
"You...if this thing is really done, it might be better than the owl." Blaise saw that Lu Yunkai was still worried about him, so he could only say a few more words.
He has to show that he is not so resistant to this thing, so that Lu Yunkai can know that he is not angry with him, right?
"The owl can also deliver goods, so it is definitely better than this." Lu Yunkai thought for a while and nodded.
However, the idea of integrating the function of transferring objects into the mirror secretly began to sprout in his mind at this moment...
"Yeah. Fortunately, the owl is still useful. Otherwise, I don't know what those poor little guys will do in the future." Blaise nodded, "You can't just stew them and eat them, right?"
"..."
Lu Yunkai looked at Blaise, who was laughing after he finished speaking, with an awkward smile fixed on his face.
Dude, you really can't tell a joke.
but……
Is the stewed owl delicious?
…
