Chapter 268 Returning to Brijuni Island
After the last accidental destruction, Brijuni Island has already taken on a new look with the support of sufficient funds.
The original dense bushes on the island have now been replaced by tall trees. This not only provides a wider space for the Acromantula to move, but also greatly facilitates the subsequent collection of venom.
The former dragon farm, after the last batch of Ukrainian iron bellies were disposed of, no new fire dragons were introduced for safety reasons.
Nowadays, a new business model has been adopted here, and the food of Acromantula has been outsourced.
To put it bluntly, dragons are no longer raised here. Instead, they have chosen to sign an agreement with a nearby dragon farm to purchase fresh dragon meat on a regular basis.
It can be regarded as an exchange of interests, which achieves mutual benefit and effective utilization of resources, and also avoids unnecessary potential troubles.
…
Right in the center of the island.
An exquisite small estate.
Ino was carefully reviewing the financial report in his hand, and opposite him sat the middle-aged wizard Delen, the person in charge of the spider farm.
"Well done! Really!" Ino put down the information in his hand.
The spider farm, which is on the right track again, is now able to bring in very considerable profits, with a net profit of three thousand galleons in half a year.
In the face of praise and recognition, Delen behaved very humbly:
"This is what I should do! If Mr. Scamander hadn't come forward, this place wouldn't be so peaceful."
There is no pride in taking credit. When he reaches middle age, Delen is no longer the young boy he once was. What's more, the sudden change on the island made him realize many things clearly.
The young boss in front of him managed to capture 15 fire dragons and 23 adult wizards all by himself without any damage.
Similarly, Ino nodded secretly after hearing the other party's humble answer. This kind of calm and capable employee is welcome no matter where he is.
"Deren, there is still something you need to do now. Build an alchemy factory in the center of the island, and recruit some wizards with alchemy foundation in Croatia..."
Recruiting Croatian wizards was something he considered carefully. Rather than traveling thousands of miles to find local wizards in England, taking proper care of local wizards is more in line with long-term development.
Half an hour later.
As Delen left, Ino also walked out of the office and walked towards the other side of the manor.
…
Compared with Ino's busyness, Draco, as another shareholder of the spider farm, is a little leisurely at the moment.
Under the tree-shaded pavilion, three woven rattan lounge chairs stood in between. George and Fred were exchanging ideas with each other on the lounge chairs, and Draco also interjected from time to time.
The overall chat atmosphere seemed very harmonious, with a sense of leisure and contentment far away from the chaos.
"It seems you are getting along very well!" Ino smiled and walked into the pavilion.
From afar, he saw three people lying here in a mess, with various candies and drinks beside them, as if they were on an island vacation.
"Are you done? What are we going to do next?" Draco sat up and asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Next? We'll probably be on the island for a few days."
On the ground, an ice and snow chair of the same style as the wicker chair rose up. After sitting down, Ino took out three identical notes.
"These are the specific steps for making film and television mirrors. Before recruiting employees, I hope you can be familiar with its production methods and then train qualified employees as soon as possible."
However, neither Draco, nor George, nor Fred reached for the notes.
This probably corresponds to the proverb, smart people are all equally smart.
moment.
Draco was the first to break the calm.
"Eno, thank you for your trust, but what I want to say is, will this seem rash?"
In fact, it's not just Draco, George and Fred also feel this way.
They have been in business since they were young, and they both know the commercial value behind the film and television mirrors, but considering their friendship with each other, they don't refute it openly like Draco.
Ino could see the expressions of the three of them.
Actually, Draco was okay, after all, his family had money. But the performance of George and Fred has to be admired by the Weasleys' family education.
Although he was satisfied with the performance of the three people, he still expressed his thoughts:
"Don't worry! This is not blind and hasty. The reason why I did this is because no one dares to interfere with the film and television mirror..."
When doing business, or doing business within the rules, the most taboo thing is to eat alone.
Although he was not afraid, the sudden change in the dragon farm last time also reminded him.
"...Draco, do you remember that time in the common room, when I made them a promise?"
Unlike George and Fred, who were at a loss, Draco looked at Ino in disbelief.
"Are you serious? I thought you were just trying to appease them!"
"I never use lies to appease people." Ino waved his hand.
"So I still need your help on this matter. You will inform the little wizards below the fourth grade. For the remaining seniors, I will let Marcus handle it. The location will be Malfoy Manor. What do you think? Sample?"
At this moment, George and Fred finally came to their senses, but they also looked incredulously in each other's eyes.
Ino's attitude makes it clear that everyone wants to make money. And this everyone refers to the entire Slytherin.
Slytherin, a school where purebloods and half-bloods gather, may not be very clear to others. But George and Fred, who grew up in the magic world, have heard and seen it, and guessed the energy behind it.
In this case, perhaps it is really as Ino said, the production method is laid out, and no one dares to intervene rashly.
...
Time always passes inadvertently.
This time, Ino stayed in Brijuni Island for a full five days.
During these five days, Deren not only built the factory, but also recruited three wizards who were proficient in alchemy from Croatia.
This proficient level is probably that they can independently complete a pair of straw rings under the guidance of George and Fred.
In Deren's words, he has released the news as much as possible, but there are only these three people in Croatia who know some alchemy knowledge.
Faced with this situation of picking the tallest among the short ones, Ino can only accept it helplessly.
This really can't be blamed on him. If you want to blame someone, blame Croatia for not doing well. They are willing to take care of local wizards, but no one meets the conditions.
The morning of the sixth day.
With the initial construction of the island completed, there was no need to continue to bring it.
Returning from Croatia to England, Fide once again played an important role as a transportation hub.
Ino opened the suitcase, and Draco and the other two got in one after another.
Although he never thought that Fide was that scary, he still chose to give him the traceless extension suitcase, which was also to avoid the tragedy of Lucius from happening again.
