Simultaneous travel: I have forged an immortal name in the heavens

Chapter 314: Controlling the Magic World through Economy

Ron didn't come back until the Quidditch match was about to start.

This move seems a bit abnormal.

After worrying for a few times, Harry simply opened the tent and climbed out, wanting to find someone to ask.

They found that Mr. Weasley, who had finally lit a fire, was sitting around the fire with Charlie and the others, brewing black tea. The small pot was bubbling on the fire, emitting a rich tea aroma.

Looking at the shabby wooden frame over the fire, Harry could conclude that Mr. Weasley had certainly built it all himself without using any magic.

He always liked doing this.

"Harry." Mr. Weasley was very enthusiastic when he saw Harry and waved to him, "Would you like a cup of afternoon tea that is made without magic?"

"." Harry was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassedly, "Thank you, Mr. Weasley."

It seemed that Mr. Weasley regarded this as something worth bragging about.

After Harry sat down, Charlie handed him the teacup and Bill poured tea for him.

"Thank you."

As if he could see that Harry was hesitant to speak, Mr. Weasley asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything you're not used to?"

"I'm worried about Ron. I don't think he's going to miss the Quidditch final." Harry told the truth. He was a little worried about his friend.

To be honest, the big fight between Ron and Hermione also dampened his excitement for watching the Quidditch match.

"Mr. Weasley, I think we should go look for Ron," Harry suggested.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Weasley looked at Charlie and Bill and burst into laughter.

"Okay father, I really don't understand Harry as well as you do." Charlie shrugged, took out his wallet and handed Weasley a gold Galleon.

The same goes for Bill.

"What's going on?" Harry looked confused. Seeing this, Mr. Weasley, who had won a match against his two proud sons, smiled gently and said, "Let's make a bet. Before the game starts, you will come out and ask me if I want to go find Ron."

"Don't worry." Charlie patted Harry and said, "Dad's colleague saw Ron wandering around in the nearby woods. He probably didn't plan to come back for the sake of face. I bet we can see him near the competition venue."

Harry heard this and looked at Mr. Weasley who winked at him. He then felt relieved and looked a little embarrassed.

He said, how could Mr. Weasley, who always cared about children, just ignore Ron.

It seems that the father understands his children, and the brothers understand their younger brother.

"That's fine."

Harry picked up the tea, blew on it lightly, took a sip, and his expression suddenly froze.

"Oh! Damn." Charlie thought of something and quickly handed over a plate with sugar. "I forgot to add sugar. It's very bitter, Harry."

"Not bad." Although Harry said this, his wrinkled facial features betrayed him.

Soon, Mr. Weasley glanced at his watch and signaled everyone to get ready to go.

Spectators in other tents can be seen preparing to trek across the swamp camp toward the competition venue in the distance.

Harry still felt a little excited.

"Put all the unpleasantness behind you, kid, and enjoy the joy that the Quidditch game brings!"

Mr. Weasley patted Harry's shoulder with his big hand, which made him feel warm inside. "Thank you, Mr. Weasley."

He began to look forward to the game.

the other side.

"It's time for us to set off."

Yang An was a little bored. After this incident, Penelope and Hermione knew each other. Penelope wanted to test Hermione intentionally, and Hermione was grateful for Penelope's comfort.

The two of them now act like good sisters together, chatting about everything from dormitories to classmates, to their respective families and so on.

I found that the two of them have a lot in common.

For example, they are both very smart and not pure-blooded. Penelope is generally considered to be a larger Hermione, except that she is more ambitious in her career and not as stubborn and rule-abiding.

We also talked about Penelope's experience more than half a year after graduation.

To be honest, Hermione began to feel confused and worried about her future.

However, when she found out that Yang An was actually a senior consultant for the Birmingham Security Company, a staff unit responsible for the safety and order of the entire Quidditch game, she was stunned and surprised.

"Is this true?"

Hermione was a little bit unbelieving, but Senior Penelope would not lie to her.

Yang An, who had been left aside, stood up and stretched his body, speaking as if nothing had happened.

"Indeed, Miss Hermione, it's too early for you to worry about your future now. If you want, you are always welcome to work in the Birmingham Company."

Hermione thought of the enthusiastic middle-aged man with a scar on his face last night.

There is also the silver World Tree badge on the other person's chest.

She was impressed by the staff's good attitude at the time, and didn't expect that Yang An was also from the same company.

"Do you have a badge like that?"

Hermione had gradually forgotten about Ron, and she did so on purpose. She turned around and looked at Yang An curiously.

But he turned his hand and threw an identical badge over.

Hermione quickly caught it, and Penelope also leaned over to look.

This medal is well-made and looks small and exquisite. The hollow design of the silver world tree is very shocking.

"Why do I feel like this pattern is a little different from what I've seen before?" Hermione frowned, recalling the World Tree emblem she had seen, which had a normal top and a hollow tree trunk scattered below.

This one has a normal top, but has an extra black dragon coiled under the world tree at the bottom.

"My identity is different, so the badge must look different." Yang An walked away and explained, "Okay girls, it's time to go."

Hermione returned the badge to Yang An, her face still full of shock. Yang An was the same age as her, but when she was still thinking about her studies, Yang An already had a decent and apparently important job.

"You never fail to amaze me."

Penelope nodded in agreement. Indeed, Yang An's mystery was what attracted her deeply. She could always find some surprises in Yang An, which made her gradually fall in love with him.

Yang An put away the badge and said nothing.

The three of them quickly packed up and walked out of the tent.

The so-called Birmingham Security Company is just an external claim, but internally, they call themselves Nighold, who cut off the roots of the world tree, caused the fall of the high gods, and was the initiator of Ragnarok.

There is no doubt that the gods are a metaphor for the pure-bloods and the ancient families who are at the top of the world tree of the wizarding world.

Yang An's followers are secretly digging into the existence of the roots of these ancient pure-blood families. One day they will completely overthrow the glory of the pure-bloods, bring them down to earth, and finally establish a brand new magical world.

Yang An, unsurprisingly, is the world-devouring dragon, so there is a black dragon under his badge.

Hermione and Penelope didn't understand this yet. Open the tent curtain.

The noise suddenly amplified tenfold and entered the ears of the three people.

It can be seen that the sky was cloudless in the afternoon, which was a very good day. The whole camp seemed particularly busy, and many people had already begun to trek to the competition venue not far away.

"Everyone is very excited." Yang An sighed. He had never seen so many wizards gathered together.

"Are these all wizards? God, I didn't think there would be so many." Hermione sighed, and her bloodline was exposed by God.

"Yes, there are a lot. It is said that this year is not the one with the largest number of participants." Penelope smiled.

She was sure that Hermione probably had a crush on Yang An, but the threat was not great. In all aspects, Penelope was confident that she would be more attractive.

It can be seen that many people who don’t want to move slowly with the crowd choose to Apparate and leave directly, teleporting directly to the competition venue.

Once the first person did so, the second person followed suit, ignoring the Ministry of Magic's order prohibiting the use of magic.

Don't expect these wizards to follow the rules.

The principle that the law does not hold everyone responsible applies everywhere.

At the same time, there are also some vendors selling various magic props.

But what made Hermione a little strange was that the most popular group in the crowd were all wearing the same uniform, and the various magic props on their stalls were obviously more exquisite than those of other small vendors.

Soon, Hermione noticed the silver World Tree emblem on the trailer they were pushing.

"these are?"

"Well, when it comes to business, Birmingham companies are involved in all walks of life." Yang An smiled. Since he knew about the Quidditch World Cup, how could Boker, a top businessman, miss this opportunity to make money.

With Yang An's strong promotion, many talents who research magic props have joined the company. In addition to researching advanced magic props and arrays, some of the magic props they produce as by-products are also very popular.

Hermione and Penelope squeezed forward and picked out some interesting props with great interest.

It can be automatically soundproofed and comes with a hat similar to that of a radio commentator, which can be chosen in green to represent Ireland or red to represent Bulgaria.

Many children are attracted by a complete set of Quidditch models that can fly, play, and produce different results.

This is much more high-end and exquisite than the Firebolt models sold by other vendors that just fly around like a rocket.

It’s a pity that this is a blind box set and cannot be purchased directly. Instead, you have to buy blind boxes to collect all the props.

Yang An naturally did not miss out on the highly profitable product like blind boxes.

However, if you buy the same one, don’t panic, you can exchange two identical ones for a new blind box.

But some of these models do not appear to have exactly the same probability.

If you want to collect this complete set of Quidditch figures, it is impossible without more than a thousand Galleons, unless you are extremely lucky.

But not only children, adults and young people also like it and buy it.

Penelope and Hermione both preferred to buy the blind box of magical creatures next to it.

Among them, giant monsters can be disassembled, but there are also centaurs, phoenixes, golden legendary veela, dragons, etc.

They were all attracted by the elves dancing in the glass display case and the Veela that looked like Barbie dolls.

After Hermione squeezed out with a pile of things in her arms, she curiously asked Yang An, "Aren't you worried that others will imitate you?"

"We have patents. If anyone imitates us, we will sue them and bankrupt them. However, we don't care about low-quality products made by ordinary small vendors. If they are very exquisite textiles." Yang An said this and smiled, "We usually go to their door and give them a generous reward that is hard to refuse, and invite them to join us."

Penelope put on a green hat and planned to give one to Yang An, but he decisively refused.

Penelope felt a little regretful, but at the same time asked curiously, "What if they refuse?"

"Sue him until he loses everything he owns."

Penelope asked again, "What if he hides or doesn't accept it?"

Yang Antong looked at Penelope with a strange look, "At the same time, the company's security team will teach him a lesson and make him spit out twice as much as he eats."

Penelope was stunned, and then she thought of those security guards who had obviously undergone special training and whose aura was no less than that of Aurors. It was obvious that they were not there to do nothing.

If they don't pay the money, they will be greeted with an iron fist.

After such a series of moves, the Birmingham company no longer cared about those inferior imitations, and all the exquisitely made ones that were almost identical were also taken in. Even if there were a few stubborn ones, they would all go bankrupt after losing everything.

For the first time, Penelope felt the terrifying power of this super large multinational corporation.

“We will also recruit franchisees.” Yang An smiled and pointed at the other small vendors. They were not dissatisfied with the appearance of the company’s stalls.

"You can join us with just a franchise fee. Even if you don't have money, you can apply for technical support. All you need is some shares and a contract. I'm actually wondering, those small vendors who are still unwilling to join us, are they really not jealous of others making money?"

After this smooth series of moves, the retail toy and magic props industry in the magic world in countries like Britain and France is almost monopolized by the Birmingham company.

Fortunately, there is no antitrust law in the wizarding world.

Wizards are vulnerable to the financial means of modern society.

When night falls.

Hermione also saw the magnificent building with a super-large silver line frame in front of her. It was like a wonder rising from the ground.

To be honest, when she saw that the building looked a bit like a bird's nest or a tree trunk, she immediately thought of the Birmingham company.

She turned her head and looked at Yang An for confirmation.

"This is not done by the company." Yang An seemed to know what she wanted to ask and spoke first.

"call"

Before Hermione could breathe a sigh of relief, Yang An said, "But the design drawings did come from the company, and the company also participated in part of the construction. This will become a landmark building in the future, and various wizard gatherings and Quidditch matches from all over the UK and Ireland will be held here."

Hermione didn't know what to say, she actually didn't know much about the wizarding world.

After all, Hermione had been staying in Hogwarts for the past few years and had never really been to the wizarding world. During holidays, she would return to her parents' dentist clinic and was almost isolated from magic.

Fortunately, she could still subscribe to periodicals such as the Daily Prophet at will, but obviously there would be no publicity from the Birmingham company in them.

It thus quietly integrated into the wizarding society.

Penelope's gaze towards Yang An became brighter and more passionate.

Follow the wide and bright road.

There is a series of snack streets on both sides, where you can find all kinds of world-famous and unknown snacks.

Dazzling.

Hermione almost thought she was in Diagon Alley, because some of the famous shops in Diagon Alley had stores here.

She looked at Yang An again and again.

There was something odd in the brown eyes, could these be the same?
