Chapter 262 Capitalists and Magicians

"Very good..."

Lucius Malfoy stood up, as if he wanted to say something harsh, but after pausing, he said in a stiff tone:

"Thank you for your tolerance, Dumbledore... I... I may need to talk to my son again."

"That's what I should do." Dumbledore said: "There is an empty classroom on the seventh floor. I think Severus is willing to take you there."

"Of course."

Snape threw off his robes and glanced at Wade when he walked out the door.

His eyes seemed to say-"Wait for me!"

Malfoy followed with a tense face, as if he didn't want to say a word to Dumbledore.

He glared at Draco with cold eyes and said, "Follow me!"

Draco shrank, but Narcissa had already stood up.

She took her son's hand and led him out of the principal's office.

The presence of his mother seemed to give Draco a lot of courage. After he walked out of the door, Wade heard him whispering:

"I really didn't mean it, Mom... Please help me talk to Dad..."

Narcissa whispered: "You shouldn't do this, Draco. Vincent is a friend who grew up with you."

"He has changed!" Draco said angrily: "He said bad things about me behind my back..."

Wade showed a toothache expression.

How did Draco defend himself before?

What he said now sounded like he did it on purpose.

Maybe he felt that he only had his mother around him, so he felt relieved to act like a spoiled child and complain.

But the tower of the principal's office is a spiral staircase structure, and the automatic staircase is surrounded by a circular cylinder, like an echo tube, so that the people in the room can clearly hear the whispers of the two.

The big Crabbe in the room suddenly became particularly fierce.

Seeing that Wade was looking at him, the big Crabbe put away his fierce expression and stood up to say goodbye.

"I'm leaving too, Dumbledore."

He said hoarsely, "Vincent and his mother are still in St. Mungo's."

"I'm sorry that Vincent had such an accident at school..."

Before Dumbledore finished speaking, the half-closed door was pushed open again with a bang.

Big Malfoy stood at the door, his light golden hair seemed to be cold.

"Ah, Lucius." Dumbledore asked gently, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Malfoy barely maintained his politeness.

"Sorry... to bother you."

He turned his eyes to Wade and said, "I want to buy this set of mirrors - name a price."

After leaving, he suddenly remembered that although they had reached an agreement with the Crabbe family, the images recorded by the flow mirror were still a handle that could have a bad impact on Draco at any time.

So Lucius didn't even bother to say hello to the other people, and immediately hurried back.

Wade hesitated.

Although the flow mirror has begun production, there is no exact number for its price.

According to Marchionne, the flow mirror is an epoch-making invention, and he needs to conduct market research before he can determine the price for the first sale.

But in any case, due to the limited production, it is impossible to sell it cheaply.

This is just the sub-mirror.

They have no intention of selling the main mirror at the moment.

In the two seconds that Wade hesitated, I don’t know what kind of association Malfoy had, he immediately made a price himself.

“Six thousand Galleons.”

He said very straightforwardly: “That set of mirrors, together with the pictures inside, I will buy it for six thousand Galleons!”

“Deal!”

Wade said decisively, and then under the gaze of Dumbledore and Crabbe, he shrunk the enlarged sub-mirror and stacked it together with the main mirror.

He took out a palm-sized box from his pocket, as if performing a magic trick, put the two mirrors in it, then buckled it and handed it to Malfoy.

"Here is your mirror, Mr. Malfoy."

Lucius Malfoy looked at him deeply and said, "I will send you the money by owl."

"No need." Wade said, "Just transfer it directly to my vault - No. 317. You can contact the goblin Kuller at Gringotts. I hope to see the news of the deposit of Galleons in the letter on Monday."

Next Monday, Gringotts will send Wade the account of the change of funds in his vault as usual, down to the change of every Knut.

It is already Saturday.

This means that Malfoy had better transfer the money immediately after returning.

In everyone's cognition, teenagers will only complain about too little pocket money, but will not urge for payment so blatantly.

Malfoy looked at Wade with a strange look in his eyes, took the box, and left without looking back.

Afterwards, Crabbe also said goodbye.

"The flow mirror is a very good invention. In the future, every wizard family may want to own one. But at 6,000 Galleons, only the nobles may be able to afford it."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Professor, if you want to buy it, a sub-mirror only costs 30 Galleons."

Wade paused and added: "This is the internal price."

"What about the normal price?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

"About a hundred? It depends on Mr. Marchionne's opinion."

Wade thought for a while and said.

Dumbledore thought of Malfoy's generous offer of 6,000 Galleons just now, and couldn't help but be silent.

When Malfoy knows the normal price, he will be furious!

Of course, if the two-way mirror is rare in the past, this price does not seem so outrageous.

Wade coughed and explained: "It's like this, he bought a set... The mother mirror is not for sale, and it is much more expensive."

"If you sell it for 100 Galleons, can you make money?" Dumbledore asked.

In fact, he rarely cares about business economics, but since it is related to Wade, he also wants to learn about it.

Wade said: "You can only make a little money. But if it is more expensive, many people can't afford it. TV... I mean things like streaming mirrors, the more viewers they have, the greater their value."

100 Galleons sounds like a lot, but in fact most people can afford it.

For example, Filch earns 15 Galleons a week and eats and lives in school. He only needs to save for two months to easily buy himself a "TV".

Another example is the Weasleys. Their family is notoriously poor in the magic world, but with Arthur Weasley's salary, if they live frugally, they can save enough for a few months.

The reason why the Weasleys live a tight life is mainly because the couple has no habit of saving. They basically live paycheck to paycheck every month, so that when the children go to school, there are not even two gold galleons in the entire vault.

In fact, most wizards are very self-sufficient and pay much less attention to money than Muggles. If they want, they can even not spend money for years.

For example, Dumbledore, the salary he gave himself as the headmaster was not high, but he still saved a lot of money.

But after hearing Wade's price, Dumbledore immediately paid for a sub-mirror from Wade.

He fiddled with the mirror and noticed some switches on the side. After turning it on, he asked curiously: "Why is there no picture?"

"The content will be displayed after the broadcast starts."

Wade came over and introduced to the over 100-year-old man:

"If you are a person who does not know magic, you can adjust the sound through the knob on the side."

"At present, the sub-mirror can only play the same picture, but within a year, we will let the audience have at least three programs to choose from at the same time..."

Dumbledore understood immediately: "Just like Muggle TV... can you change channels?"

"Yes."

"Can this mirror do it?"

"Of course not." Wade smiled like a capitalist: "It doesn't have this function yet!"

Dumbledore looked at him with a smile: "...Wade?"

"Hmm?"

"You know magic is very dangerous, right?"

Wade blinked: "Of course."

"Then do you know how many attacks Mr. Marchionne has encountered?" Dumbledore asked again.

Wade was silent for a moment and said: "Maybe at that time... there will be services such as old-for-new?"

Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction.

I won't stay up late today, there is only one chapter
