Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1823 "Sea Monster" ([-])
Hogwarts students must go to Honeydukes every day when they go to Hogsmeade, which is full of all kinds of novelty candies.

Since the cooperation between Astonia and Honeydukes, the number of candies in Malfoy's house has increased again, and unlike the candies made by Naxisha himself, the candies provided by Astonia are more professional, so that Lucius Malfoy's pocket It is inevitable to put two bloody lollipops in it.

He gave one of the lollipops to Severus, and ate the other one by himself. While eating the candy, he looked at the icy water. It was hard to imagine that it was summer.

"Guess what." Lucius said as if inspired, "If the formula is changed, the product will not sell well."

"What?" Severus asked in a bad mood.

"Processed food company." Lucius said indifferently, "customers are fickle. Today they are worried about too much sugar, and tomorrow they are worried about fat. After shopping around, they still buy whatever they want and eat whatever they want. Customers I will never buy food that tastes bad.”

After speaking, Lucius put the lollipop in his mouth.

"You're telling me about the Danone acquisition now?" Severus asked in disbelief.

"Food companies provide low-sugar, low-fat, and low-calorie foods, but customers don't choose them. Can you blame the food companies? I know those people. They will not give up huge benefits and change themselves in order to ease the emotions of customers. Since they are not willing to change the formula of high-selling products, why should we change it?"

Severus didn't answer, he put the bloody lollipop in his mouth.

"If people are worried about obesity, then develop drugs to lose weight. Do you know what the best drug is now?"

Severus still ignored him.

"The most important thing is to beat the competition. I think you've heard about the monopoly case that Honeydukes and Zuko's Joke Shop sued Weasley's Trick Shop." Lucius said slowly, "Funnier and better-tasting products will Only when someone buys it can you make money. Health is the business of the hospital. Last year, a senior executive of a food company resigned and switched careers to promote healthy food. This is also the selling point of Danone’s products. It’s like boxing, one party must fall.”

"How do you know it wasn't the fat man who fell first?" Severus smiled sarcastically.

"I remember that 30 years ago, Americans suddenly started drinking skim milk. Do you know how many dairy farmers' interests will be lost?" Lucius said, "In terms of some large-scale publicity and public marketing, individual dairy farmers It's unaffordable, but Congress organized all the dairy farmers in the country, set up a dairy company, took 1% of the total income of dairy farmers every year, used it for schools and cheese promotion, and dairy image and key issue management, they paid for it 25 physicians and dieteticians support their programs, as well as professional football teams."

"How dare professional athletes eat such high-calorie food?" Severus asked.

"Milk products are not just milk and cheese. If the milk is layered, the lightest is butter, the heaviest is cheese, and the middle is whey. The original Americans only like butter and cheese, and the whey must be poured out. Yes, now the whey is turned into a protein powder that can be sold to athletes and bodybuilders."

"when will you……"

"When I heard about the acquisition I kept thinking, do you think we still need protein powder?" Lucius asked Severus.

"Your son needs it, he's as thin as a girl." Severus said angrily, putting the lollipop in his mouth.

"When a person is fat and has no money, he is a loser. I heard that many young people in the United States still suffer from gout, and even the conscription is affected." Lucius shook his head, "I really don't understand, How can girls like Draco like that now."

"He's your son," Severus reminded.

"Being good-looking does have advantages. If the Dark Lord wasn't so handsome, I don't think Bella would be so crazy about him." Lucius said flatly, "I thought that being a bully is better than being a bully." Draco would be better off on that side, but the adult world still affected him, especially when he was in sixth year, thank you, Severus."

"You don't have to say that," Severus said awkwardly.

"I hope you don't think I'm pushing you," Lucius said, "but you do have to think about Muggles."

"The boy inside helped me, and I couldn't leave him," Severus said.

"I could apparate directly just now." Lucius smirked. "But look at us, eating candy like members of the Order of the Phoenix."

"Because I mentioned the Phoenix?" Severus asked.

"It's a very rare magical animal. It can only be seen once in 1000 years." Lucius said sadly, "I didn't expect Dumbledore to have a phoenix as a pet."

Severus seemed to remember something.

"Tacitus wrote in his book that there was a phoenix in Egypt." Severus said after a moment, "But it may not be a real phoenix, because the little phoenix buried the old one."

Lucius froze for a moment. "A bird? How did it do it?"

"The phoenix is ​​immortal," Severus reminded.

"I heard that the phoenix appeared when we were dealing with the basilisk. Why doesn't it appear now?"

"Compared to Phoenix, we can find Garuda, which is the natural enemy of Naga..."

"What?" Lucius stared at the suddenly enlightened Severus.

"We can use fire, like a devil's web!" Severus said.

"I suggest you better not do that, you don't know what the consequences will be, maybe the cave will collapse, which means total war."

Severus looked displeased.

"You can think about it slowly, I don't think that kid will die for a while." Lucius stared at the small room and said, "And you don't know what the liquid is for, what if you break him down."

Severus was silent.

"Speaking of stratification, I remember it." Lucius said slowly, "In the Middle Ages, they were called yeoman farmers, but now they are called the middle class. They are an important part of the tax base. If the middle class reduces the tax base It will be corrupted, not only will it not be able to collect taxes, but the society will also become unstable. What do you think the middle class corresponds to? Butter, cheese or whey?"

My heart is pierced by Cupid,
I disdain all glittering gold, what are gold and silver treasures,
There is nothing can console me,

but my jolly sailor bold.

Come all you pretty fair maids,

whoever you may be,

Who love a jolly sailor bold, who love a jolly sailor bold.

Suddenly a woman's singing sounded in the dark and dark pit, and the two stopped talking immediately.

"I didn't expect that there would be a day when I hated Paris." Lucius muttered, drawing out his wand and preparing to fight. "The story of the phoenix you just mentioned, which city is it?"

"Heliopolis is called Um in Hebrew." Severus said, "No matter how other places change, the landscape of that land is still the same as described in the Bible thousands of years ago."

"I made you godfather because of tradition," Lucius said.

"I know," Severus said. "Look out, it's coming!"

As soon as his words fell, ripples appeared on the water surface of the tunnel, as if a giant was moving towards this side.
