Hogwarts professor in Marvel

Vera paused, as if organizing her words, and said solemnly: "Teacher, I talked with some mages of Kamar-Taj and found something that I don't know whether it is true or false."

"If it's true, it's going to be very tricky."

"A friend of mine mentioned to me that there is a teahouse in Kamar-Taj, which completely imitates the Vientiane Book Cafe in every aspect."

At this point, Vera hesitated a little, glanced at Lockhart, and then slowly said, "Including, the magic card you made, I heard that the other party also copied it, the effect is exactly the same, but the name has changed, the magic card has become a wizard card, and the magic points have become wizard points."

After hearing this, Lockhart showed no expression, but nodded to show that he understood.

In fact, he had already asked Casillas and Morin to inquire about the other party.

After all, I have only joined for less than two months, while Casillas and Morin have lived in Kamar-Taj for many years and are deeply rooted.

Based on the feedback, Lockhart has determined that the other party may have had a plan for Vientiane Book Cafe.

After he refused, he opened a teahouse in a very short time. The most important thing was that except for the name, everything was an imitation of himself.

Lockhart believed that if it weren't for the fact that Kamar-Taj already had a library, the other party might have chosen to open a book cafe.

If this is true, then the other party's behavior is not imitation at all, but can be directly called a replica.

"Vera, is there anything else you want to say?" Lockhart continued.

This time, Vera shook her head, and Lockhart asked encouragingly: "Vera, do you have any good solutions for what you said above?"

"Teacher..." Vera hesitated, but seeing Lockhart's encouraging eyes, she expressed her thoughts: "I personally don't have a good solution. Although the other party imitates us, their advantage is that they are in Kamar-Taj."

"And Kamar-Taj itself is a gathering place for mages, so there is a natural flow of traffic."

"We are in New York. Because of your relationship with Master Casillas, the mages from the New York Temple tend to come to us. There are very few others who come."

"but...."

"I talked to Mr. Carter before, and Mr. Carter gave me a suggestion that sounded very good to me."

"That is to reposition the Wanxiang Book Cafe, raise the threshold for reception, and specifically receive elite mages with good strength or special abilities."

"Let Kamar-Taj's teahouse become a gathering place for ordinary mages, and we will become a trading place for high-end mages."

"By then, even if the other party wants to compete with us, Wanxiang Book Cafe, there will be nothing we can do."

At this point, Vera's tone was somewhat excited: "According to Teacher Carter, the advantage of doing this is that we can completely influence the mage's cognition."

"In their opinion, the person they connected to was an ordinary mage, without any style, or rather, of low quality."

"We are receiving the elites, which immediately distinguishes the two. Those elite mages will consciously avoid going to the other side and choose our Wanxiang Book Cafe."

"The most important thing is that the elite mages are more powerful, richer, and have more good things, which can further increase the income of Wanxiang Book Cafe."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

After listening to what Vera said, Lockhart clapped his hands lightly, his eyes full of approval.

Carter is worthy of being the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. and has rich experience in struggle.

This plan is very good and can completely help Wanxiang Book Cafe get out of its current predicament.

It can be said that it was almost the same as what he thought.

If he competed face to face with the other teahouse, even if he could win, it would only be a miserable victory at a huge cost.

Therefore, he did not think of confronting the opponent head-on, but changed the track and knocked the opponent down to the low end, making him ordinary and a representative of low.

Wouldn’t it be great to make money from rich wizards?

"but...."

Hearing Vera's worried tone, Lockhart instantly understood her concerns and comforted her: "Don't worry, Vera, don't worry about resources."

"I, your teacher, can't say much about other things, but in terms of gold galleons and magical resources, ordinary pure-blood families can't compare to me."

Well, he directly emptied the inheritance vault of the pure-blood family of Lestrange, and took away many of Voldemort’s precious magical items.

Not to mention, he had previously resold a lot of potions and magic items from the Marvel world and made a lot of money.

Let me just brag about myself, I'm rich as hell, there's nothing wrong with that.

Hearing this, Vera nodded silently and slightly put aside her worries.

Then, he heard his mentor smiling and asking as if testing him, "Vera, it's a good idea to go high-end, but Carter should have mentioned it to you as well."

"To be a high-end company, the most important thing is to raise the threshold and refuse unsuitable mages from coming in. If you don't know how to refuse, it will be difficult to be a high-end company."

"The second is to increase the price. The most obvious difference between high-end and low-end products is the price, which is also a criterion for many people to judge."

"And now, we already have quite a few members, most of whom are ordinary mages."

"Tell me, when we raise the threshold and increase the fees, how can we solve the problems of these ordinary mages?"

At this point, Lockhart smiled calmly and continued, "One more thing, have you ever thought about how to make it impossible for the other party to imitate us if we go high-end?"

Vera was excited to hear a series of questions from her mentor. It seemed that these paths were not wrong and her mentor was very supportive.

So, I sorted out my thoughts a little bit, and said slowly but clearly: "Teacher, I think the first thing we need to do is to reshape the book cafe environment........."

"......"

"In order to make it impossible for the other party to imitate, or to make them afraid to imitate, we can..."

"........"

Hearing Vera talking and her tone becoming more and more excited, Lockhart nodded slightly and looked at Vera with admiration.

What Carter said is right, Vera is really talented in management and should be well trained.

In the future, maybe Vera will become his right-hand man.

His idea of ​​a top wizarding academy would require a lot of talent.

............

At night, S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Trident Building.

Nick Fury, sitting in his office, looked at the heroic old boss in front of him with a dazed look in his eyes.

It was as if I had returned to more than 20 years ago, when Director Peggy Carter was in the limelight, leading S.H.I.E.L.D., Pierce, and myself, together with Chief Howard.

Fighting against the FBI, CIA, military and other forces step by step, winning, and gradually growing stronger to become the world's top spy organization.

Soon, Nick Fury came back to his senses and spoke with a hint of excitement, or perhaps, a hint of respect that he was not aware of.

"Director Carter, congratulations on your rejuvenation. I wonder how things are going with the wizard professor."

Chapter 236: Peggy Carter Joins S.H.I.E.L.D.? (Third update)

"Fury, it's been many years, and I didn't expect you to be the same as before, never being polite and getting straight to the point." Carter said with emotion as he looked at the black director Nick Fury in front of him.

Hearing his old boss's sigh, Nick Fury no longer had a cold face towards his subordinates as before.

Instead, he forced a smile on his stiff face and responded, "Ms. Carter, you know that I have always been a clean and efficient person. Even after becoming the director, I have not changed that."

Although his tone was gentle, during the conversation, Nick Fury silently changed his address from Director to Ms.

As if hinting at something?

Hearing this, Carter smiled and replied: "It's good that you haven't changed. I liked this about you before. I gave you many tasks to do, and you completed them well."

"As expected of you, you are the ace agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. I remember your completion record is even higher than Pierce's, almost close to 100%."

Hearing Carter's praise, Nick Fury smiled silently and did not respond.

When Carter was the director, he was indeed trusted by Carter and he was taken care of in many ways. He could not deny this.

If he doesn't admit it, his reputation will be really ruined among all institutions in the United States.

Seeing Nick Fury's silence, Carter seemed to recall something and said in a daze, "By the way, Fury, thank you for taking Steve to find Professor Lockhart. Otherwise, I might still be an insane old man now."

Well, letting her boyfriend seek help from a wizard of unknown strength for herself, although the result is good, the person who gave the idea definitely has bad intentions.

What's more, he dared to fool me when I was a little unclear in mind. He is worthy of being the successor that I and Pierce are optimistic about.

As if he didn't hear the meaning behind Carter's words, Nick Fury said shamelessly and modestly as if he was praised: "This is mainly thanks to Professor Lockhart and the captain's deep affection for you."

"Otherwise, how could you become young again and still be so full of energy?"

Carter looked at Nick Fury with a half-smile on his face, sizing up Nick Fury's black face, which was as thick as a city wall.

Immediately, Carter straightened his expression and didn't want to continue talking about these topics.

After all, she has been removed from her original position, and Nick Fury is now the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Fury, I have already started working with Professor Lockhart. The specific information is affected by the magic contract, so I can't say more." Carter said seriously: "However, I now need SHIELD to invite some business experts to consult on high-end products."

“I want to communicate with them about how to make a book cafe high-end.”

Hearing what Carter said, Nick Fury tapped the table with his fingertips, thoughtfully.

After hearing what his old boss said about the magic contract, Fury felt a little disappointed, but he was not overly anxious.

It is all too common for agents like them to be restricted and unable to clearly reveal information.

Like most agents, they will consciously train the corresponding skills, not to mention their experienced superiors.

Sure enough...Nick Fury heard what Carter said next.

What does it mean to make Book Cafe a high-end one?

A lot of information is revealed.

Why do we want to go high-end? Doesn't this mean that we have competitors?

Moreover, a head-on battle has not yet been adopted. Either the strength of both sides is equal, or there is a very stable order in the magic world, which makes everyone dare not act rashly.

With this thought in mind, Nick Fury nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Ms. Carter, I will immediately ask someone to find a business consulting expert."

"SHIELD will pay for the expenses. You can communicate anywhere you want."

Having said that, Fury tapped the desk lightly with his fingertips, as if hinting at something.

In response, Carter shook his head and said it was impossible.

This made Nick Fury a little disappointed, but he didn't think much about it.

After a moment of silence, as if thinking of something, he asked tentatively: "Ms. Carter, now that you have regained your youthful state, are you interested in returning to S.H.I.E.L.D."

Hearing the probing tone in Nick Fury's words, Carter looked at Fury with a teasing look on his face, and slowly said, "As for me, I won't be returning to S.H.I.E.L.D. for the time being. After all, it's been a long time, and I haven't been involved in many things."

"Now I can just relax and teach the students. It's a break from my busy schedule."

Hearing this, Fury felt relieved.

Peggy Carter has been an active agent since World War II and later founded S.H.I.E.L.D.

He could not fully predict the political resources and personal connections he had.

Not to mention, Peggy Carter's remaining influence in S.H.I.E.L.D., even he and his boss Alexander Pierce were affected by her.

Especially Peggy Carter's Rejuvenation, the information contained in it is enough for some old guys to make a decision.

It can be said that as long as Carter takes over S.H.I.E.L.D., there is a possibility that he will be sidelined or even driven away.

Although he is confident that he can secure his position as director, it will definitely take up a lot of his energy.

Now that he heard Carter clearly state that he would not interfere in SHIELD's affairs, he naturally felt relieved.

The next moment, a scene that surprised Nick Fury appeared.

He saw Carter take out something that looked like a branch. If he guessed correctly, it should be the wizard's wand.

Sure enough, he heard Carter say, "Besides, Professor Lockhart said that I have good spiritual talents and can become a wizard. I have to focus on how to practice magic in the future."

"We still have to rely on you for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s affairs. You are someone that Pierce and I both think highly of. I believe you can make the right decision."

Magic, Carter actually mastered magic.

At this moment, Nick Fury received this key information, his brain worked rapidly, and he showed the most gentle smile in his life. He said gently: "In this case, I will try not to disturb you from teaching students and practicing magic."

"However, after all, you were once the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D. If you encounter some troubles, S.H.I.E.L.D. has an obligation to help you solve them."

"In this way, I can authorize you as a Level 7 agent in my capacity as director. On the one hand, I will try not to disturb your life. On the other hand, if you need any information, you can obtain it directly through the SHIELD intelligence system."

Hearing the friendly tone in Nick Fury's words, Carter showed a faint smile on his face.

But at the same time, I sighed inwardly.

Since he was able to practice magic, he naturally made the decision to join Lockhart's side.
