Chapter 179 World Cup (Part 2)
When she returned to the Weasley camp, she found that Harry and Sirius were already there.
"Yu! You're finally back!"
Their eyes lingered cautiously behind her for a moment, and after making sure that Dumbledore would not suddenly appear, they pounced on her happily.
"We went to pick up Hermione - she's helping with the fire right now!"
These are two wealthy and easy-to-talk-to clients!
Jian Yu immediately winked at Fred and George.
The twins received the signal keenly, surrounded them from the left and right, and successfully seized the opportunity to pick the customer's pocket:
"How about some trick wands, Harry? Or some fat tongue taffy?"
Harry looked curiously at the contents of their bags, as if wanting to make a selection.
But Sirius's actions were much simpler and more direct than his. He pulled out a fake wand from the bag and waved it. The wand made a quack and turned into a rubber parrot.
"That's so fun! Give me four! And some candy!"
He burst into laughter, and the rebellious look of his youth returned to his eyes.
He unpacked the bundle of trick wands and stuffed one into Harry's pocket and another into Jane's.
"What are you doing—? Jade! You're back!"
Hermione came in holding a matchbox, her eyes sparkling with surprise, she threw the matchbox on the table and came over to hug her:
"Thank you for sending me the ticket! I never thought I would have the chance to watch the game! These tickets are impossible to get!"
"Oh – Sirius, thank you too!"
She also received a magic wand from Sirius.
Soon Mrs. Weasley arrived with Percy and the others, and the tent suddenly became noisy.
"Want to place a bet on the game?"
Ludo Bagman came to visit, and the Head of Sports tried to take them on a bet, and the Weasley twins looked a little tempted.
"What if you lose? And you still have to sell the goods. If you bet money, there will be no Sikko and Nat to give change to the customers."
Jian Yu reminded them with a disappointed look.
Cherish life and stay away from pornography, gambling and drugs, don’t you know?
The twins shuddered, and they successfully suppressed their desire to save enough money overnight to open a store and get rich.
What if I lose the bet? I’m afraid I won’t be able to save enough money to open a store by the time I graduate!
"Let's go! We have to get to work - to sell our joke merchandise!"
Fred and George stood up and pulled up the investor Jian Yu as well.
Seeing the three of them go out, Harry, Ron and Hermione followed.
They moved among the vendors and went to different camps to sell their wares.
"Want a little something, sir? Only five Galleons a pop—"
Jian Yu asked a wizard who was wearing a thick robe embroidered with dark patterns. His clothes looked very luxurious and he was obviously a big customer.
He waved his hand impatiently to dismiss her, but paused oddly when he saw the object.
"How much is your wand?"
There is a possibility of a deal!
She immediately began to sell it with feigned enthusiasm:
"Only five Galleons, sir. You can't afford to be cheated, so have one!"
The wizard's voice suddenly became a little excited, and he lowered his voice:
"Give me two bundles... no, give me three bundles!"
The wizard next to him also heard the business here, and he came over and looked at the wand curiously.
"Would you like to have one too, sir? These are disposable wands, used and thrown away! Even Ollivander couldn't make such an invention!"
The wizard was stunned for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then he handed over a heavy purse:
"I want three bundles too... no, four bundles!"
The magic wands were a huge hit and sold out almost immediately.
Even Jian Yu wondered why this fake magic wand sold so well.
She sat cross-legged, counting the gold Galleons in her bag and quickly calculating the funding gap.
"If we sell another batch of the same number, we can open a store."
At her words, Fred and George exclaimed, their eyes turning into the shape of gold Galleons.
"We have to go home! We didn't bring enough supplies."
They never expected that the sales volume would be so high!
But when they sneaked back to the camp and opened their mouths to ask Mr. Weasley, they were immediately sanctioned by their mother. х
But the twins had prepared a countermeasure. They calmly opened the bag full of gold Galleons.
Mrs. Weasley's mouth opened, the reproachful sound caught in her throat.
"Bill - Charlie -" she called out to the two oldest Weasley sons, "Come and get your brother - come back when you've got the things, and don't run around - if anything happens - watch out for your ears!"
......
The stadium where the Quidditch World Cup is held can accommodate 100,000 spectators, and every inch of it is cast with a Muggle-repelling spell.
"Seven first-class tickets, three second-class tickets—Arthur, you have to divide them up!"
the witch at the entrance shouted.
"We're going to sell our products!" Fred and George shouted, "Dad, the class of tickets doesn't matter to us--"
Mr. Weasley glanced at them approvingly, and continued to pick among his sons, quickly locking onto his target:
"Ron—"
Ron froze when his name was called, and his spine slowly bent.
"Five Galleons!"
He revived with full health.
Jian Yu came to a small box. Her seat faced the playing field. There were pitching rings on both sides. On the right was a huge blackboard with golden words flashing on it. She found that it was an advertisement put up by Lucius.
[Game console: brings joy and happiness, helps improve magic power...]
Jian Yu felt that all his facial features were wrinkled.
That’s it? A few lines of text?
Isn’t this too backward?
What about short videos?
Is this how the propaganda is promoted?
She soon saw other ads:
[Cornflower: A flying broom for the whole family——]
[Fengya brand wizard clothing——London, Paris, Hogsmeade...]
She wrongly blamed her partner.
It turns out that other stores also advertise this way.
She turned her head and was met with a pair of huge brown eyes and a large tomato-shaped nose.
It was an elf that looked very much like Dobby, and it was sitting behind her, looking at her curiously.
But Harry had already called out the name "Dobby" first.
"I'm not Dobby, my name is Winky, sir—"
It covered its face with its hands and its voice was shrill, but it still turned its head curiously in the direction of Jian Yu, looking at her with its big eyes peeking out from between its fingers:
"But Winky also knows Dobby - Miss, Winky heard the gentleman just called your name, you must be Jade Jane!"
Jian Yu nodded.
"Ah, you helped Dobby." Winky's expression was full of awe. "We knew each other for a long time - you got him settled down so that he wouldn't go around looking for fun, which is not suitable for a house-elf -"
"You paid him." Its eyes widened. "He is free and has fun - but Dobby is not very decent. House elves should not have rewards and fun - we must obey the master's orders completely. Even though I am afraid of heights, Winky is a good elf and Winky obeys orders."
Shanshan, who was afraid of heights, looked at the edge of the box in fear, covered his eyes completely and stopped talking.
The box gradually filled up with people, including the British Minister of Magic Fudge... the Bulgarian Minister of Magic...
The Malfoys came in. They nodded and smiled at Jane, then frowned and glanced at the Weasleys, big and small.
It was another verbal battle between Weasley and Malfoy. Fortunately, for the sake of face, both sides did not develop it into a free fight.
After a period of chaos, the World Cup finally began.
