Chapter 547 This is an era where the leftovers are kings
Malfoy has been very distressed lately.
Their family coat of arms is a peacock, and thanks to this, he himself likes peacocks very much.
He had six peacocks, the kind a son would raise, and Draco made exactly seven.
That would make him one more son than Arthur Weasley.
So six peacocks were brought to the World Cup, a symbol of Malfoy's luck.He is very superstitious about this stuff.
But one day, the tent got damaged and collapsed.After he came back, he found that his beloved pet—the peacock... was gone.
Malfoy is so angry!
It was his favorite peacock, the family crest, a symbol of good luck!
Asking Fudge for help, the minister directly refused him on the pretext of being too busy.
Malfoy hates that!
Help find a peacock, and ask him for a bribe... Fudge, a beast!
This is not once or twice.
Last year, when Black escaped from prison, Fudge came to the door specifically, saying that after Malfoy visited Black, Black escaped from prison.
He must have done it.
Fudge also sent Mad-Eye, who was about to retire, to watch outside Malfoy Manor.
In the end, Malfoy had no choice but to donate a sum of Galleons to settle the matter.
In addition to the Buckbeak matter, Fudge took the money, but said that the Hippogriff was lost.
Therefore, Malfoy really doesn't want to see this minister now... wish he could die.
just wait!
This World Cup, Malfoy is going to secretly do something big, to remind people in the wizarding world that although the Dark Lord is gone, don't forget their brothers.
Especially Fudge, be careful walking at night in the future!
Now that they were all ready to do bad things, Malfoy wasn't going to pay for it.But there are [-] wizards, and he can't find the peacock himself.
In the end, I had to post a bird hunting reminder outside the tent.
At noon that day, I heard that the Mudblood had a big piece of shit and beat the Trinesian team to win.
Malfoy laughed all afternoon.It seems that Stark also has a little bit of magical talent, but he is really not good at gambling.
In order to slap him in the face, Malfoy pressed England for [-] Galleons.
Then... that night he was slapped in the face.
Stark spent 20 Galleons and made [-] by changing hands.
Malfoy is so sour.
Too sour.
Look at his son, he is so talented in magic, and he can even gamble!
Look at his own stupid son who doesn't live up to expectations.In the past few years, Draco may have spent less than [-] Galleons just to buy Stark's alchemy products.
It's like sending money!
Wait... All the money for gambling with Stark came from his family? !
For a moment, Malfoy had an inexplicable urge to re-train the trumpet after he was exhausted from practicing the trumpet.
But this trumpet is not something you can practice if you want to.
He tried, and asked Snape for potions.But the kidneys were exhausted, and the child was still not born.
Sissy also complained that he was not good, not a man...
Just when Malfoy was under multiple blows, Fudge found him again, saying that he had important information for sale.
Malfoy, who wasn't going to spend money on Fudge, was so curious that he spent another thousand Galleons to buy the news that Stark bet on the Norwegian team.
Seeing that the odds were high, Malfoy knew his chance had come.
He was also very courageous this time, beating the Norwegian team with [-] Galleons directly... However, that night, the Norwegian team was massacred by the US team.
Fortunately, he was not the only one who lost money, even people like Fudge lost money, Stark also lost [-]...
No, Stark lost, it's none of his business, he didn't earn 20 before!
In the third game, everyone began to wait and see.
But Malfoy saw that Stark suppressed [-] Galleons, and he felt that he had read Stark's inner thoughts.
I must have lost on purpose last time, and I will definitely win this time.He gritted his teeth and followed another [-] Galleons.
The result was disastrous...a crushing defeat for defending champion Canada.
Everyone started saying Trelawney was on point, winning three in a row.Malfoy thought about it, and decided to follow Trelawney.
But this time I lost fifty thousand.
And Stark won half a million.
Malfoy doesn't believe in evil, thinking that Stark will definitely lose in the next game.He decided to continue pressing Trelawney in Game [-].
Sure enough, Stark lost 30... McGonagall earned [-] Galleons.
Back and forth, Malfoy lost a total of 30 Galleons.
Everyone is saying: Malfoy is a fool.
Malfoy now has only one sentence in his mind:
Even if I am dead and nailed in a coffin, I will cry out in the tomb with this decayed vocal cord:
Gambling dog must die!
……
……
Malfoy is just a microcosm. Countless wizards like him, in this World Cup feast, either became rich overnight or went bankrupt.
Stimulated by the huge amount of Galleons, everyone was very wild, thinking that they knew how to play football, and they would definitely hit the next one.
Therefore, as the World Cup continues, the eyes of the whole world have once again gathered from Venice to England.
Soon, the World Cup group stage came to an end.
Not surprisingly, the England national team easily ended their World Cup journey with a complete defeat.
They broke through the quarterfinals in the reverse direction and entered the quarterfinals strongly, creating a brand new history.
Canada, the previous defending champion, did not escape the fate of being a champion. In the last overtime match, they lost to the Egyptian team and were blocked from the quarterfinals.
Instead, Scotland stumbled and joined hands with Ireland to advance to the quarter-finals.
inside the tent,
A group of wizards were sitting, and William and the others were holding a sales strategy meeting for Akali's mysterious store.
At this time, the meeting was halfway through, and Hermione, as William's personal secretary, was taking notes.
Fred fiddled with the telescope in his hand, and said quickly:
"The binoculars on the market can replay the picture... watch the picture at a rate of 0.75 times. It can also quickly flash the analysis of the game situation."
"And our technology department has developed 0.5 times speed, double speed, and quadruple speed."
"That's right." George continued: "On the basis of the analysis of the match situation, player information and real-time odds are added... Once this telescope appears, it will definitely sweep the market."
"What's the price?" William asked with his arms crossed.
"Preliminary pricing, twelve Galleons per plane." Qiu, who was in charge of sales, replied.
"Too expensive." William shook his head.
"Ten Galleons are enough to meet most of the needs of telescopes on the market. Many customers won't spend an extra two Galleons."
He thought for a while and said, "The price also remains at ten Galleons."
"In this case, our profit will be reduced too much." Qiu frowned. "Our costs are inherently higher."
"Qiu, the World Cup is our best chance to seize the market." William explained softly:
"We have to fight price wars and trade wars to monopolize the market. This is an era where the leftover is king.
We have strong funds, so it doesn't matter if we lose tens of thousands, or even 10,000+ Galleons.
If we monopolize the market in the future, how much will we not be able to earn back? "
Qiu nodded.
"And badges." William held up a badge.
It was a glowing rosette - green for Ireland, decorated with shamrocks dancing in the wind.
"I have already negotiated with Fudge, we will represent the production and sale of official commemorative coins."
"Official commemorative coin?"
"Yes, officially recognized by the Ministry of Magic, it has a genuine badge with the logo of Akali's mysterious store."
William knocked on the table and said with a smile:
"We're going to issue the first batch of commemorative coins first, for example... commemorative coins for England's top sixteen."
"..."
William believes this thing will be very popular.
It is probably as popular as the four-way Titan, the figure of Chuan Jianguo, and the commemorative coin of the US new crown diagnosis exceeding [-] million...
