Chapter 218 begins

Harrison's body suddenly stiffened after hearing Mike's voice, and he lowered his head and reluctantly returned to the podium.

Mike's eyes swept back and forth on his face, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt. He couldn't help but ask, "Have we met somewhere before?"

"Boss, we met in Diagon Alley at the beginning of the month."

Harrison's expression was very complicated, helpless and mixed with a little bit of as expected, looking a little pitiful.

Mike only reacted at this moment, it turned out that this Harrison was the kind-hearted person who reminded him that someone was robbing in Diagon Alley before.

"Hahaha, it turns out to be you! We are really destined to meet!" Mike laughed and patted Harrison's shoulder hard while saying, "You are very good, I think you still have room for improvement!"

Harrison's stature was not tall, and he was almost the same height as Mike, who was already 1.7 meters tall. Although he was still very nervous at this time, he could only force a fake smile to accompany Mike, the boss, who patted his shoulder so "intimately".

Mike didn't care how fake his smile was, and then said to the audience: "Do you know why Harrison was asked to come up first to receive his salary? Because he is our outstanding employee this week, and his piecework bonus is the highest in the factory, reaching 5 gold galleons!

So, in order to commend Harrison for his outstanding contribution to the Dolphin Magic Drink Factory, I decided to give him an extra bonus of 1 gold galleon as a reward!"

As soon as Mike finished speaking, Shuke snapped his fingers again, and a golden gold galleon flew into the hands of Harrison, who was a little bit unbelievable.

When the audience saw that Harrison really got the gold galleons, a total of 14 gold galleons, the greed for money overwhelmed the fear again, making them regain some vitality and talk about it.

Most of them looked at the pile of gold galleons on the stage with anticipation, because they would also go on stage later and receive their own salary from it.

But there was still a small number of people who still distrusted Mike, and these people were constantly lobbying others to join them.

Mike knew that it would take time to deal with these people, and he would hammer them. In the end, as time went by, most people would return to his arms, and he would not show mercy to the few who were hopeless.

"Okay, from now on, the person with the highest piecework bonus will receive a bonus of one gold galleon, so you don't have to be jealous of Harrison." Mike waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, continue to roll the names!"

With Mike's order, the people whose names were called ran up to the podium in high spirits, and after receiving the coins given by Shuke and Beta, they excitedly ran back to their original positions and began to share their joy with their companions around them.

And those who had not yet been called looked at those who had received the money and looked like they were showing off, and they were scratching their heads anxiously.

Finally, when the last person received his salary and returned to the team, Mike came to the center of the podium again.

At this moment, the attitudes of the people in the audience had changed drastically under Mike's kindness and power.

Originally, these people didn't have much respect for Mike and the Weasley brothers, but this was normal, because both Mike and Weasley were underage wizards.

If your boss was a child who was not yet an adult, you would not be convinced.

Now it was different. Mike fully demonstrated his abilities (strong strength, huge wealth) to these employees and conquered most of them with it.

Mike looked at the silent crowd below the stage and nodded with satisfaction.

This was a good start. No matter how many people pretended to obey him, he didn't care, because people would develop habits. Some things would happen countless times after the first time.

"I believe everyone has received their own salary. Now that the happy things are over, I will start to tell you some bad news." Mike's expression suddenly became serious, "First of all, it's the issue of clothing. I know that everyone will inevitably get some stains on the materials when working, so everyone is working in their own old and unwanted clothes, but it looks too ugly, so I prepared uniform work clothes for everyone!"

After saying that, Mike took out another bag of traceless stretching spells and poured out a large number of uniforms from it.

They are called uniforms, but in fact, these are common casual clothes in the Muggle world, and the color is uniformly black.

The only difference is that the clothes, pants and shoes are all printed with the words "Los Santos Irresponsible Unlimited Magic Company".

Everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the styles of these clothes.

They are all wizards of Muggle origin, so they have a deeper understanding of the Muggle world. To be honest, they are really afraid that Mike will take out a lot of work clothes worn on the construction site for them to wear.

"Next, from your performance today, your behavior is very casual, and you don't have me as your boss in your eyes!" Mike took out a piece of parchment and continued, "So I decided that all employees in our factory will abide by the following regulations in the future:

Salute when you see the boss, that is, me!

Don't talk when eating in the cafeteria!

Wear work clothes at all times in the factory in the future!

...

The above are all the rules. If you violate the rules, you will be fined! The amount of this fine is temporarily set at 1 silver Sickle per time!"

Mike said a lot of rules, and everyone in the audience's face turned black.

"Um, boss. I think..."

An employee in the audience couldn't help but want to persuade Mike, but Mike interrupted him before he finished speaking: "I don't care what you think! I care what I think! You have to remember that I am your boss and you must obey my orders!" Mike

directly silenced the employee, but Mike seemed unsatisfied and continued: "Oh, by the way! You didn't raise your hand or salute when you spoke just now. You will be fined 1 silver Sickle. Fred, you will remember it."

The employee's face was completely black.

Mike's behavior undoubtedly caused dissatisfaction among many people below. A young man with a childish face, who seemed to have just graduated from Hogwarts, shouted loudly: "I quit! This place is simply a prison! No! Azkaban is ten thousand times better than here!"

His roar was particularly obvious in the silent auditorium, and the attention of everyone present was attracted in an instant.

However, before Mike could say anything, a middle-aged wizard stepped forward and grabbed the young man, whispering in his ear: "Calm down! Don't be impulsive! This is the best job that we, Muggle wizards with no skills and no background, can find! You will regret it later if you act impulsively now!"

The young man's expression froze when he heard this, and then he obviously relaxed a lot.

"Humph! If you don't want to do it, just quit! Anyway, there are people who want to do it, one more or one less won't make a difference!" Mike snorted coldly, "If there are still people who don't want to do it, you can stand up. It just so happens that the salary has just been paid today! You can take your salary and get out together!"

The expression on the young man's face became indignant again, and his fists were clenched tightly. Strangely, he did not take the next step, but just lowered his head silently. It seems that he listened to what the middle-aged wizard said just now.

The reactions of the other people around him were similar. The expressions on the faces of the younger ones were not very good, while the older ones were more helpless and indifferent.

They are used to it.

Mike looked at the reactions of the people in the audience and smiled with satisfaction.

Fortunately, there were no people born in the 80s or 90s among these people. If it was the young people born in the 90s in the previous life, they would have resigned long ago if Mike dared to yell at them like this.

"Okay, it's decided! You all line up and come up to get your uniforms, and then go back to work if you need to work, and go back to rest if you need to rest!"

Mike said this and stood aside. Then the employees below the stage came up to get their uniforms.

Every person who received a uniform would salute Mike according to Mike's demonstration when passing in front of him, and pat their heart with their right fist.

Mike noticed that most of these people were very stiff when saluting, as if they were a little embarrassed. A few people did it very naturally, and a few even pounded their chests to make a muffled sound, which made Mike gasp.

Mike silently memorized the appearance of these people. People like this who can flatter must be cultivated well.

After watching everyone get their uniforms and adjourn the meeting, Mike returned to the meeting room, took out a pen and parchment, and started writing a letter.

Mike had a lot of letters to write, including the price list for supply to various bars, restaurants and snack bars, and the main one was the start letter to Lockhart and Rita Skeeter.

Now that Dolphin Magic Drink has a stable supply source, it is time to start advertising and distribution.

Lockhart and Rita Skeeter's soft copy has been written, and Mike has read it and is very satisfied.

As long as Mike's letter reaches them, the report about Dolphin Magic Drink will appear on the front page of the Daily Prophet the next morning.

At the same time, Lockhart will start selling his new book.

On the other hand, Mike has not been idle these days. He has almost run to every store in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade to persuade their store managers to buy Dolphin Magic Drink.

Of course, except for some stores that have already started cooperating with Mike and the Weasley brothers, other stores have not hesitated to reject Mike's request.

Mike was not disappointed with this, and he asked these stores to post magic posters of Dolphin Magic Drink for a long time.

In this regard, these merchants were originally not going to agree, but under Mike's financial offensive, most of the merchants finally agreed to Mike's request.

This is enough, and to be honest, Mike is already very satisfied to be able to do this.

He can even imagine that the next day after these letters in his hand are sent out, every wizard who comes to Diagon Alley or Hosmeade, a gathering place for wizards, will see the overwhelming posters of Dolphin Magic Drink, and those wizards who stay at home will also know Dolphin's name from the Daily Prophet!

Dolphin Magic Drink and Los Santos Company will become a household name in the British wizarding world, and the cost of all this is just less than 5,000 gold galleons. It's just

a ton of money!

With such a large publicity effort, Dolphin Magic Drink will definitely become a trend in the next period of time. Coupled with its relatively expensive price, Mike can almost foresee that Dolphin Magic Drink will become an item that those wizards with a little wealth will compete with each other.

By that time, those stores that originally rejected Mike's supply request will beg Mike to sell them goods.

With this in mind, Mike sealed all the parchments that he had written. Finally, Mike came to the owl rental shop in Diagon Alley and handed the letters to the staff, asking them to send them out immediately.

When Mike saw the large number of owls in the rental shop, he suddenly thought of Errol, the old owl who was exploited in the Weasley family, so he asked the staff to buy an owl directly.

However, to Mike's surprise, the staff rejected Mike's request and said that if Mike wanted to buy an owl, he needed to go to a pet shop not far away to buy it. The owls here were all excellent employees who had undergone rigorous training and were not allowed to be sold.

Mike didn't believe a word of the staff's explanation. Judging from the attitude of wizards towards magical creatures, owls, which are not even magical creatures, are at best consumable tools for sending letters to wizards. It is absolutely impossible to say how precious they are. The only explanation for

the clerk's behavior is that they have an unspeakable py transaction with the pet shop.

In desperation, Mike could only go to the pet store and buy an owl in its prime. The clerk assured Mike that the owl had been trained and could start mailing letters immediately after it was bought home.

This further deepened Mike's suspicion that there was a pet transaction between the two stores.

Mike, who was not short of money, paid the money directly and returned to the factory with the strong owl named Carrot and handed it to the Weasley brothers.

The Weasley brothers were really representatives of capitalists. When they learned that Mike wanted this young owl to exchange for their old owl, they agreed without hesitation and had no nostalgia for the owl that had worked for their family all their lives.

In the end, Mike could only return home with Errol, laughing and crying.

When Mike returned home, the sky had already darkened, and at this time many owls also brought Mike's letter to the recipient.

Lockhart and Rita Skeeter wrote letters to inform the bookstore and the Daily Prophet as soon as they read the letter, asking them to publish their books and articles as planned.

In Diagon Alley and other large wizarding gathering places across the UK, shop owners who received the letters also took action and put up the posters that Mike had sent them long ago.

Diagon Alley had the most shops, so the entire lane was almost covered with posters. Meanwhile, Weasley and his friends were also busy. Together with Shuke and Beta, they sent the Dolphin Magic Drink to the shops that had placed orders through the Floo Network.

The Dolphin Magic Drink was quickly put on the shelves, waiting for the guests to come the next day.
