Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Chapter 63 Mike's Small Business

Perhaps because of the fact that he got rich overnight in his previous life, Mike has always spent money lavishly. Even so, Mike never felt like a prodigal.

There are two ways to save money: open source and throttling. Mike believes that open source is far more important than throttling between the two. Although throttling can save money, it will also make people like Penello. A bum who can't even spend money, only open source can make people become a real rich person while saving wealth.

Due to the school holiday, the business of Dolphin Magic Drink had to stop. If the business does not have to be done, there will naturally be no income. It is not good to sit and eat like this.

Yesterday, Penello's poor look gave Mike a great inspiration. This era is not as bad as his previous life, the currency depreciation is so severe, in the UK in this period, the pound is still very tough.

For example, in 1989 an average worker could earn around £3 an hour, which is £528 a month based on 8 hours a day and 22 days a month. It's 1992 and it's only been the past 3 years that he's earning £600 a month with inflation. With this 600 pounds, it is enough for a family of three to eat and drink, of course, provided that it is not in a first-tier city.

An income of £600 a month is definitely representative of the income level of most people in the UK today.

The exchange limit given by Gringotts is 100 gold Galleons per year, which is 500 pounds, which is definitely not a small amount for these ordinary families.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic has subsidies for the items on the Hogwarts admission list, so buying all the items on the admission list is far from 100 gold Galleons. As a result, most Muggle-born wizards will not exchange 100 gold Galleons.

In Mike's view, this is a blatant waste, and Mike considers himself a good and thrifty teenager, so naturally he will not allow such a thing to happen.

As a result, at the entrance of Diagon Alley, two teenagers, one black and one white, stared at the wall of the entrance every day without doing anything.

As long as they see people in Muggle costumes and come to Diagon Alley alone, these two people will come forward and ask sneakily: "Friend, Jin Galleon is going to attack?"

And if they were accompanied by their family members, the two would turn into good-hearted people, introduce everything about the wizarding world to their popular science, and finally tell the other party that they could provide free pounds for them to exchange for Jin Galleon, the price is only some Just an insignificant draw.

It is said to be a negligible commission, but it is actually very black.

For each transaction, the two of them have to take 80% of the handling fee. Among them, the black and white teenagers get 50%, and Gringotts, the goblin who specializes in the pound to gold Galleon business, gets 100%. Thirty percent.

These two teenagers are naturally Mike and Franklin.

In terms of observing Mike, he is a professional, robbing a bank and stealing things in his previous life is essential, which also makes him a pair of sharp eyes.

Who are Muggles and who are wizards. Some people's families are in good financial condition, and some people's families are so poor that they can't afford to eat. These Mikes can be recognized with just a few glances, which makes it a lot easier for them to do business.

Hogwarts is about to start school, and everyone is thinking about buying the items they need for the new semester in these two days, so the traffic in Diagon Alley is very large.

As a result, Mike and Franklin's small business is also doing more and more. Although the commission ratio he gave was very exaggerated, after all, it was Jin Galleon for nothing.

Of course, there are some people who are not long-sighted who tried to bargain with Mike, and even blackmailed Mike on the grounds that they were speculating and violating the interests of the Ministry of Magic.

Of course Mike was not polite to these people. He told the other party his name generously, and claimed that he would look good on him when the school came.

Mike's reputation in the school last year was not small. Now all Hogwarts students know that he is Professor Flitwick's proud disciple, and his strength is also very strong. For a few gold Galleons, he will almost certainly be offended in the future. Someone who would be a prefect or even the president of the Boys' Council was clearly inappropriate.

So these thorns had to obey obediently and let Mike take a huge rake.

It turns out that most of these Muggle and half-blood wizards who go to school at Hogwarts have poor family conditions. In just three days, Mike and Franklin earned nearly 1,000 Galleons.

On this day, Mike and Franklin met a few acquaintances when they were looking for business as usual.

"Mike? Franklin? What are you doing blocking the entrance?"

It was Mr. Weasley who spoke, and behind him were Mrs. Weasley and Harry, as well as the five children of the Weasley family.

"Uh..., we're shopping." Mike faltered for a long time and now made up an excuse.

"We're just going to buy a new book, let's go together!" Harry was probably locked up during the summer vacation, and now he likes to be lively, so he hurriedly invited Mike when he heard that they were shopping.

"No, we have to wait." Mike shrugged.

"Waiting for who? Penello?!" Percy jumped out after hearing the words and asked in an extremely sharp voice.

"I don't think it has anything to do with you." Mike realized that Percy was not good, but he did not show weakness, and replied word by word, "Mr. Percy-Weasley!"

This time Percy didn't want to, and poked his fingers hard on his left chest, where there was a Hogwarts prefect badge shining in the sunlight.

"You give me a good look! I'm the prefect! The prefect! Is that how you talk to the prefect?!"

"Wow, the prefect of Gryffindor is here to take care of my Ravenclaw business, Prefect Percy, you are so powerful." Mike said in a very strange tone, and he looked at Franklin after saying this. At a glance, the two of them burst into laughter.

Percy's angry face turned contorted, and his right hand trembled as he groped for his own wand, as if he was looking for his wand.

Mike's wand had already appeared in his hand. As long as Percy dared to point his wand at him, he would invite Percy to take a disarming charm. He and the Weasley brothers had a good relationship, and it would be worth it to make Percy suffer a little. .

But before Percy took out his wand, George, who was beside him, dragged him forcibly towards Mr. Weasley, who was shopping in front of him. Fred made a face at Mike, nodded and bowed in a weird way. What he meant was that Mike understood, that Mike would not have the same knowledge as Percy.

Because of his affection, Mike was not easy to attack, so he waved his hand to signal them to leave quickly.

Fred didn't speak when he saw this, nodded at Mike and quickly followed George and Percy who had not gone far.

Looking at the figures of the three of them still pulling, Mike smiled disdainfully and spat in the direction they left.

When Franklin on the side saw this, he probably thought it was cool to do so, and he spit it out. It's just that he vomited far more than Mike, and almost vomited onto a young lady passing by.
