Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 386: Exclusive trading

“Communication cards make the distance between us disappear.”

Albert stood in front of the Gryffindor bulletin board, looking at the advertisement, and fell into a brief silence. His roommates were really talented, and the slogan was well written.

Below the ad is an introduction to the effects of the communication card.

Price negotiable

Well, if I just say ten Galleons, it will probably scare away a lot of potential customers!

That’s fine!

Let them do whatever they want!

Albert didn't care at all what the Weasley twins were going to do, as long as he could sell it and make money.

By tempting them with benefits and forming an interest group, the relationship will be more stable, although there is actually no need for them to do so.

However, Albert did not care so much about the issue of money, mainly because it was not difficult for him to make money now, at least it was not difficult to make a large amount of pounds.

"I saw it a few days ago. Fred and George were looking for people to sell communication cards." Sana stood quietly beside Albert, also looking at the advertisement in front of her, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you make this?"

"Yeah." Albert responded casually.

"That's amazing." Sana had also read Albert's last paper, and when she saw the advertisement, she guessed what was going on.

She asked with emotion: “Have you succeeded yet?”

"No, communication cards are only used to transmit messages unilaterally. Wizards don't really need to use them. Except for couples in love, no one would pay for communication cards." Albert came to the fireplace, bent down and picked up his own Tom. "I'm just making a prototype now."

"That's already impressive." Sana sincerely admired Albert's ability to act. Not everyone can put their ideas into action.

At this time, the door of the common room was opened, and Fred and George walked in. Their faces were flushed, with a confident smile on their lips, and they even walked with their heads held high.

"We sold eight copies in three days." Fred and George looked at each other and said in unison.

While the two were talking, Fred took out a purse and placed it in front of Albert.

"What about you?" Albert turned his head and asked Lee Jordan.

"One," muttered Lee Jordan rather gloomily.

"It seems that you are not a qualified salesman." Albert jokingly poured out the Galleons and began to count the quantities lightly.

Sana looked at Albert counting the money and couldn't help but sigh, "Nine people actually bought that thing."

She knew the price of the communication cards. Last time, she happened to hear the Weasley twins selling this thing to a couple. They even took the so-called communication cards and let the other party try out the effects.

"It should be eighteen people. The communication cards are five Galleons each, and two make a pair. Usually each pays half. Of course, there are not many students who can afford this much money." Fred took the eight gold Galleons handed over by Albert and explained to Sana happily.

"It's about the same as I estimated. Considering the number of couples in Hogwarts, selling fifteen communication cards is already the limit." Albert's action of counting the Galleons attracted the attention of many students.

"Wow, where did you get so many Galleons?"

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came to my ears.

Several people turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from. Ron and Harry were standing nearby, watching the division of the spoils in amazement.

Harry had his own vault with a large amount of Galleons, so he didn't care much about money, but Ron was different.

Ron had never had a single Galleon in his pocket in his life and was extremely poor. When he saw Fred and George putting the Galleons they were allocated into their pockets, he was almost going crazy with envy and jealousy.

When everyone was poor, he wouldn't say anything, but now Fred and George were rich, and he saw it with his own eyes. Ron suddenly felt unbalanced and kept feeling jealous.

"Here, this is for you!" George reached into his pocket, put the thing in Ron's hand, patted his shoulder, then put his arm around Fred's shoulder and left together.

The gold coins jingled happily in their pockets, sounding pleasant to the ears.

Both of them now understood why Albert always looked so confident.

Having money means confidence!

They also plan to shop around to see if they can find another suitable seller.

The Weasley brothers were able to sell eight communication cards in three days, all thanks to the Marauder's Map. They were able to always find the right targets and start with them accurately.

Ron looked down at the candy in his hand, his originally happy smile froze, and his cheeks flushed red. He thought it would be... but he didn't expect it would be two candies.

"Those two little bastards are still as bad as ever!"

Lee Jordan couldn't help laughing as he watched this scene.

"Okay, Ron!" Harry reached out and patted Ron on the shoulder. While taking away a candy, he stuffed a Sickle into his hand.

Ron's eyes lit up when he saw an extra Sickle in his hand, but soon dimmed again. He stuffed the money back into Harry's hand, unwrapped it, and put the candy in his mouth.

He said to Harry, "Those two guys have been playing tricks on me since I was a kid."

"Well, let's study the treasure map we found in the book not long ago!" Harry said to Ron.

"Treasure map?"

Lee Jordan and Albert looked at each other.

Could it be...

That should be it.

Both of them had meaningful smiles on their faces.

“Your smiles are so creepy.” Sana couldn’t help but mutter as she looked at the two people laughing meaningfully.

"Has anyone tried to hack my communication card?"

Albert changed the subject and asked Lee Jordan about issues that he was more concerned about.

"Well, some people have tried it. They think your communication cards are too expensive, so they plan to make a batch of their own to sell." Lee Jordan felt even happier when he talked about this.

"If this thing were cheaper, I think a lot of people would be willing to pay for it," Shanna muttered.

"The price is already very low. It can't be any cheaper. If it's any cheaper, it would be selling at a low price." Albert shook his head and explained, "Although the communication card looks like just a metal card, the magic technology contained in it is not low, and one card can be used for a long time. It is totally worth the price."

"This thing is much more convenient than writing a letter, and we can keep in touch at any time." Lee Jordan agreed with Albert's words, "Otherwise they wouldn't spend money to buy it."

"Did they succeed?" Sana asked curiously.

"They all probably failed. In the end, that Ravenclaw senior still had to hold his nose and come to me to buy a communication card." Speaking of this, Lee Jordan really wanted to share with the two of them how unlucky that guy was.

Albert was not surprised at all. The communication cards involved the advanced use of transformation spells. Most students would not be able to reach that level, let alone make similar things.
