Chapter 207 Los Santos Irresponsible Infinite Magic Company
When Mike came back from dinner at Flitwick's house, the originally dilapidated villa had changed a lot.
The originally mottled fence had been completely removed, and the weeds in the garden had disappeared, replaced by a green and smooth lawn.
Mike looked at the villa and opened the door, and saw Shuke and Beta waiting at the door. As soon as Mike opened the door, they bowed deeply to Mike.
The situation inside the villa was even more beyond Mike's expectations. Not only was the marble floor wiped so that it could be used as a mirror, but even the wooden furniture was re-waxed, shining under the light of the fireplace in the living room.
Looking at Shuke and Beta who couldn't bow for a long time, Mike nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands gently and praised: "Excellent! You did a great job!"
Finally getting the praise they wanted, Shuke and Beta both showed bright smiles on their faces.
After encouraging his outstanding employees, Mike walked to the second floor.
The situation on the second floor was slightly worse than that on the first floor. Because it was made of wood, it had aged after being vacant for many years. Mike could hear a creaking sound when he stepped on it.
Mike frowned slightly but said nothing. He walked straight into the largest bedroom on the second floor and prepared to go to bed.
Mike had designated this room as his bedroom from the beginning, so Shuke and Beta were particularly careful when cleaning it.
The bed in the room was not only made soft and fluffy, but they also placed special incense in the room to prevent Mike from smelling strange odors when he slept.
Mike threw himself on the bed, smelled the elegant fragrance in the room, and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, at the Weasley family's house, the Weasley brothers looked at Mike sitting on their bed with shock.
"Are you kidding? You're actually going to open a Dolphin Magic Drink factory?"
"Yes, Mike, we're still students, and we don't have time to run a factory."
Facing the questioning of the Weasley brothers, Mike glanced at Ron who was peeking out of the Weasley brothers' bedroom, and said lightly:
"Don't worry about that. I've found someone to help run the factory while we're in school."
After that, Mike snapped his fingers lightly, and then Shuke and Beta appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.
"You actually have house elves!? And two of them!" Fred said in surprise as he looked at Shuke and Beta in front of him.
After that, Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison again: "This is so cool!"
"Shuke will supervise everything in the factory, so your previous worries are completely unnecessary." Mike said, "and what I want to establish is not just a factory, but a company! Los Santos Unlimited Magic Company with No Liability! Los Santos Company for short!
In the future, my company will not only sell Dolphin Magic Drink, but also a variety of novel magic items! And this time I came here, I want to invite you to be the director of the R&D department of Los Santos Company! George, Fred, you two are geniuses! I believe that with your abilities plus my talent, you will definitely be able to develop Los Santos Company! By then, you two will be promoted and get a raise, marry beautiful and rich women, and reach the pinnacle of life and become one of the most famous people in the wizarding world!"
Although Mike is not proficient in the skill of drawing big cakes, it is enough to deal with the inexperienced Weasley brothers in front of him.
Looking at the Weasley brothers who were breathing heavily and blushing in front of him, Mike's mouth corners slightly raised, and then said: "Of course, the company has just been established and it is difficult, so the salary may be relatively low. Let's do this. I will pay you 50 gold galleons per month. In addition, if the things you develop are adopted by the company, then the company will give you bonuses and dividends from product revenues depending on the situation! Of
course, you have made a lot of money with me in the past two years, and you may think that this salary is too little, but now is the starting stage after all. I promise that I will give you a salary increase as soon as the company gets on the right track!"
George and Fred looked at each other, and both sides understood the meaning in each other's eyes, so they turned their heads and said to Mike in unison: "Mike! Let's do it!" Hearing this,
Mike, who was sitting on George's bed, immediately laughed and told Shuke to take out two three-year employment magic contracts and handed them to them. George,
the older brother of the two brothers, originally had some doubts about Mike's big pie, fearing that Mike wanted to get them for free, but he immediately put his mind at ease after seeing that the time on the contract was only three years.
After all, three years is not too long. They are still young and would rather use these three years to take a gamble. If they win, wouldn't they be rich?
Mike put away the signed magic contract with a smile and gave his first order as a boss to the Weasley brothers.
"Then George, your first job now is to select a site for the factory. Remember, I need a remote place far away from human habitation." Mike said seriously, "Fred, go to the Leaky Cauldron and Hogsmeade and post some recruitment advertisements. Remember, I want to recruit wizards of Muggle origin who have a certain foundation in Potions, and then conduct unified interviews. Let's recruit 100 people in the first round." Upon hearing this, the
Weasley brothers showed puzzled expressions on their faces, and asked uncertainly: "Aren't we the directors of the R&D department? Why do we still need to do these jobs?"
"I've said, the company is just starting out now, so I'll inconvenience you a little bit now." Mike stood up and said loudly, "When the company is well established, you will be the founding fathers, and I will never treat you unfairly!"
After listening to Mike's explanation, the expressions on the faces of the Weasley brothers eased a little, but then they asked Mike as if they suddenly remembered something: "Wait, we are doing all the work, so what are you doing?"
"Of course I have more important things to do. I will take care of finding material suppliers and sellers! In addition, I have to go to the Ministry of Magic to handle the formalities. This is much more difficult than yours.
Well, no more nonsense, you two go quickly, be careful on the road."
After finally sending George and Fred away, Mike sat back on George's single bed alone and pondered.
Since the summer vacation, Mike has been thinking about the plan for the next school year. During this period, he can clearly feel that his strength is growing slowly. The fire spell has basically been developed to the extreme by him, and his mental strength and magic control can only be slowly improved by meditation songs without any adventures. The only thing that is still growing rapidly is magic.
But Mike knows that the growth of magic is only because he happened to reach the high-speed development period. When he becomes an adult, the growth level of magic will be greatly reduced.
So now he can no longer guarantee that his strength can continue to grow rapidly, and it was not until last night that he finally finalized the final plan.
Strength does not only refer to personal strength.
Money, power, fame, subordinates, etc. are also strength, or a kind of power, but they are all expressed in different ways.
Now that the increase of personal strength has entered a stable but relatively slow growth period, it is necessary to start from other aspects.
If personal strength wants to advance by leaps and bounds, it needs an adventure like the Ravenclaw Secret Realm that is hard to come by, but money and fame are different.
The first thing Mike thought of was the Dolphin Magic Drink.
He made the decision to open the Dolphin Magic Drink factory almost without hesitation. In the market of Hogwarts, which mainly sells to students, Dolphin Magic Drink can make an annual profit of 40,000 gold galleons, so what about putting it in a larger market?
So Mike didn't worry that Dolphin Magic Drink would fail at all, and after having money, Mike could do more.
For example, in the semi-finals of the duel competition, the eldest master Bruno almost made Mike overturn with his money ability, and when Dolphin Magic Drink sells well, Mike will have the same ability.
This is only secondary. With money, Mike can recruit soldiers and gather strength.
This is not only to fight against Voldemort who may be resurrected in the future, but also for the possible war against pure bloods in the future.
Don't think that Mike has been in contact with most people who are close to Muggle wizards during this period. He has forgotten what he encountered and saw when he first entered the wizarding world. Mike has always remembered what the pure bloods did to those with impure blood. If there is a chance in the future, Mike will definitely let the pure bloods taste the taste of being pulled down from the throne.
Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help but clench his fists, and his body trembled slightly.
At this time, Ron's faint voice came from outside the door.
"Uh, Mike, are you okay?"
Ron clung to the door frame and looked at Mike timidly. He just saw a very scary expression on Mike's face. In addition, Percy became suspicious after fighting with Mike. As long as Mike appeared, he would be paralyzed by fear, so he was also a little afraid of Mike now.
"Sorry, I'm too excited. I was just imagining what Los Santos Corporation will look like in the future, so, you know. By the way, what's up with you?"
Mike turned his head and slightly relaxed his ferocious expression and told Ron the explanation he had prepared long ago. Ron was relieved after hearing it and then said, "That's good, I thought you were sick."
Mike didn't say anything after hearing this, but looked at Ron with a smile.
He actually discovered from the beginning that Ron was eavesdropping. With Mike's current mental strength, an ordinary little wizard like Ron couldn't hide it from him.
"Um, I just overheard your conversation with George and the others, so I wanted to ask, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Oh, let's do this, Ron." Mike's mouth curled up slightly, and he said to Ron, who was a little uneasy in front of him, "Go help me advertise, find a newspaper and ask them to write some soft articles or something."
After hearing this, Ron was stunned and stood there. After a long time, Ron suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Luna! I remember that Luna's father is the founder of the Quibbler, and their home is on the mountain not far away!"
Mike knew both Luna and The Quibbler that Ron was talking about. The former was the girl with unique temperament and ethereal eyes, like an elf, whom Mike had seen at the opening party of the second grade.
Originally, Mike planned to get to know this character who played a lot of roles in the original book, but he forgot about it because too many things happened later.
However, Mike heard that this girl's thinking process was different from that of ordinary people, and she often made some brainless remarks. As a result, she was rejected by her classmates and did not have a good time in Hogwarts.
The Quibbler is a magazine with the theme of weirdness and curiosity. It often publishes some remarks that disagree with the mainstream media, and some explanations of biological habits that do not exist at all.
Relying on such weird content, The Quibbler actually has a group of loyal readers.
Of course, the above views on The Quibbler are all subjective opinions of readers. Luna's father, who is also the editor-in-chief, writer, and operator of The Quibbler, does not think so. He believes that The Quibbler is a realistic publication, and it is an insult to him to confuse it with gossip tabloids.
Mike laughed at this.
Mike doesn't care who is right or wrong here. He only cares about the traffic that The Quibbler can bring.
So Mike snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "Ron, this matter is now in your hands. Go contact Luna's father. This matter is a test for you. If you can pass it, you can become a formal employee of Los Santos Company, and your salary will be the same as George and others."
"Really? That's great! I'll do it right away!"
Ron jumped up excitedly upon hearing this, said hello to Mike and ran out of the room in a hurry.
Mike listened to the faint sound of Mrs. Weasley scolding Ron for running around the house downstairs, put his hand on Shuke's shoulder and gently uttered two words: "Let's go home."
"Yes, Master."
Shuke replied respectfully and asked Beta, who was still unable to Apparate, to put his hand on his shoulder.
After getting ready, Shuke lowered his eyes, stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers in the air.
Before the sound of snapping fingers completely faded away, Mike and Shuke, two elves, disappeared into the Weasley brothers' room. Only the wrinkles on George's bed caused by Mike's sitting could prove that someone had just sat there.
In the villa of Godric's Hollow, a faint light flashed, and Mike and two house-elves appeared out of thin air.
Mike took his hand back and covered his mouth to suppress the feeling of vomiting.
The comfort of the house-elves' Apparition is not comparable to that of the wizard's Portkey and Apparition. Mike has experienced many space teleportations, but the first time he tried to let Shuke Apparition with him, he almost vomited. After
finally relieving himself, Mike looked up and saw Professor Flitwick sitting on the sofa in his living room, looking at him seriously.
