Chapter 323 Market Supervision (I)
The Magic Trick Shop was still in a state of disrepair.
Although the walls and decorations outside the store have been repainted and replaced, the goods have not yet been put away. The store's warehouse is filled with cardboard boxes so full that there is almost no place to put them, and the unopened goods outside are piled up to the ceiling.
The twins began to unpack boxes and stock the empty shelves.
"These are things that students like, you know, the old style, specially for professors." Fred introduced them to the major shareholder Jian Yu like a product manager, "Quick-acting skipping candy - the kind that makes people's nose bleed; magic wand - our most popular product; canary biscuits - this must be kept from Ginny for a while; and these automatic writing and spell checking quills..."
Jian Yu was not surprised by these gadgets, as they were all products developed by the twins in the past few years.
But the contents of the next cardboard box she opened stunned her—
That's a bunch of edible Dark Marks!
"We really got a chance to take advantage of the traffic." Jian Yu picked up a skull with a snake coming out of its mouth and praised, "It's really pitiful that the Death Eaters can't apply for a patent for their company logo from the Ministry of Magic, but I think their peripherals will sell like hot cakes."
The twins' eyes lit up and almost glowed!
"Follow trends and keep up with current affairs!" The two of them gave a thumbs up at the same time. "Thanks to you, we have a wealth of experience in peripheral manufacturing! Now give us a Dark Mark, and we can make stickers, tattoos, and fireworks! If you give me a high-definition, uncensored photo of the You-Know-Who, we can directly make his statue run naked with his Death Eaters. His admirers will definitely rush to buy it, and we will make double the money!"
Before he could finish his words, a loud sound like someone suffocating because something was stuck in the throat was heard at the door!
The three of them looked over there at the same time. The twins immediately booed loudly, and Fred called out "Sir" in a sarcastic tone.
Now Jian Yu finally knew who the "annoying guy from the Ministry of Magic" they were talking about was.
That was their biological brother: Percy Weasley!
"You will be murdered in your sleep!" His face turned pale, and he stared at his brothers in shock, almost fainting, "How dare you - Dark Mark - You-Know-Who and Death Eaters - HD Uncensored - Naked - Merlin's beard, I will not approve your store opening procedures, I will go back to the office and get your documents back now!"
"Hey!" Fred and George shouted at the same time. "What documents are you looking for? Your high-definition and uncensored Crucible report?"
Percy's face instantly turned from pale to red, a color that came from being angry:
"You - you - are you being decent? The approval documents you submitted said it was a joke shop, but you actually sell these shameful and filthy things. Is this correct? Is this decent? Is this suitable for underage students?"
He pulled out a large notebook from his wizard robes and raised his voice an octave higher as he read:
"Time: This Monday; Action: Routine patrol; Location: Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes; Event: Purchase of special-effect love potions prohibited by the latest regulations of the Ministry of Magic. No major impact was caused, and a fine of 2 Galleons was imposed."
"Time: Tuesday this week; Action: Routine patrol; Location: Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes; Event: Insulting a public official, raising the third finger of the right hand to the person in question, making an international friendly gesture, and being fined 3 Galleons."
"Time: Wednesday this week; Action: Routine inspection; Location: Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes; Event: Manufacturing a simulated hangman's noose game, suspected of promoting serious bloody violence, but causing no significant impact, a fine of 2 Galleons was imposed."
"Time: This Thursday; Action: Routine inspection; Location: Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes; Event: Assault on a public official, resulting in a bruised eye and damaging the image of the Ministry of Magic, and a fine of 5 Galleons..."
Jian Yu stood behind the twins, listening in shock to the string of fines and violation records that continued every day, half of which were even one-sided beatings and verbal abuses by the twins against their older brother.
We are of the same root, why are we so eager to fight each other?
This Percy Weasley...could he have become rich by fining his brothers the money?
"Okay, stop nagging! It's just about money." George, whose head was aching from being nagged, reached into his pocket and pulled out a handful of gold Galleons. "I'll pay you five Galleons, Percy, and let us punch you on the left cheek. Then we'll pay you five Galleons, and you give us your right cheek - then we'll pay you five more, and you give us the paperwork -"
Percy was so angry that his hair almost stood up. He snatched the Galleons and threw them aside, rolling his eyes:
"Trying to bribe public officials! Causing a very negative social impact! Look at yourselves, failing the exam is fine, but you're almost tainted with pornography, gambling, drugs, bloodshed and violence when you open a joke shop! Why don't you open a shop in Knockturn Alley? Diagon Alley has no room for you!"
"Great idea!" Fred and George said in unison, "The next branch will be in Knockturn Alley! No formalities or approvals are required!"
"You - you -" Percy, who felt that he was about to be killed by his brothers' arguments, used his trump card, "Don't forget, you still need my signature for your documents. I tell you, if you continue to be stubborn, my name will never appear on your business license!"
The twins were silent, and they looked at each other reluctantly.
Fred raised an eyebrow, and George closed the roller shutter at the store entrance.
"What are you going to do?" Percy asked in panic, with every hair on his body alert. "If you dare to beat up Ministry of Magic employees again, it won't be as simple as 5 Galleons!"
"You have sensitive skin, Percy?" Fred scoffed. "Can't even the civil servants beat us?"
"We don't plan to do it ourselves. After all, you are too weak to be touched." George smiled at him maliciously, moved to the side, opened the shelf and revealed Jian Yu behind it, "But if I bring out our shareholder, the well-known Miss Jian, how will you deal with it?"
This time it was Percy who was the misfire.
He immediately changed his expression at the speed of light in front of his two younger brothers. He first straightened his back subconsciously, and used his right hand to push his slightly messy hair back so that the hairspray and hair would fit better. He then nervously put aside the large notebook full of law enforcement records, and straightened the front of his wizard robe with both hands to ensure that he was meticulous and suitable to meet people.
Finally, he looked serious, took three steps forward at a standard pace, put his left fist to his mouth to clear his throat, stretched out his right hand, and began his classic opening remarks as always:
"How are you?"
