Hogwarts School of the Dark Arts

"You are so awesome! You can even fool Snape! From now on, you will be my idol!"

"It's not good for you to deceive Professor Snape like this, isn't it? What if he finds out..."

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how will he find out? As for the magic materials, just say that the test didn't succeed and that's the end of it!"

At this moment, Ron's brain suddenly became more useful, leaving Hermione speechless.

"I don't know anyone in the magical world, so I want you to help contact my uncle and aunt to help me buy some magic materials and send them to Hogwarts. Is that okay?" Xavier asked.

"Of course!" Ron wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve: "My mother should stay at home every day to take care of my sister. If you pay for my mother to enjoy shopping, she will be very happy!"

"That's good." There's some left."

"If you are short of galleons, I can give it to you. My parents left some for me. I have nothing to buy." Harry said suddenly.

Xavier and Ron were stunned at the same time, but the reasons why they were stunned were completely different.

Ron suddenly discovered that his best friend turned out to be a hidden rich man, while Xavier looked at Harry, then Ron, and finally Hermione, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

"I suddenly had an idea... How about we set up a company?" Xavier suggested.

"Company? What company?"

Hermione asked as she poured spinach into the hot pot. She was also conquered by the hot pot...but she couldn't eat spicy food.

"Look..." Xavier clapped his fingers and said, "I have the original technology for hot pot base ingredients, and I can invest in the technology."

"Harry has money and can invest in it."

"You just said that you have a sensitive sense of taste, so you can help improve the taste and develop new flavors. The taste of food is very important, and it can also be regarded as technology investment."

"As for Ron, he can help buy raw materials from outside Hogwarts, and his two brothers are very popular and can help with sales, which can be regarded as a channel to invest."

"How about the four of us joining forces and sharing the money we make equally, each with 25%?"

They didn't understand what investing in a stock meant, but they understood the other contents.

Harry immediately objected: "Isn't this bad?"

Xavier frowned: "It's really not good. After all, we are trading without capital, and you are really investing real money. If you don't make money, none of the three of us will have any actual losses. Only you will make a real investment." Really lose money...or give you 40%, and each of the three of us will share 20%."

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Harry waved his hands repeatedly: "What I mean is that you invented this thing, and we will share it equally after making money... It doesn't feel good."

"I agree with what Harry said, I don't feel good about it either. If you need help, I'll be happy to help you." Hermione said after thinking for a while.

Ron looked at Harry and Hermione and gritted his teeth: "I...well, I don't feel too good either."

Xavier glanced around them and suddenly didn't know what to say.

These people really don’t understand business at all.

"Well, Harry bears the greatest risk as the investor, so he accounts for 40% of the income."

"If the product cannot be sold, it is worthless, so Ron, who is responsible for sales and providing raw materials, accounts for 30% of the total revenue."

"As for Hermione and I, we are responsible for the technology and bear the minimum risk. We each account for 15% of the total revenue."

"If you are really willing to help me and feel that you will not suffer from the distribution method I proposed, then just do what I say, how about it?"

The three of them looked at each other, and finally the other two looked at Harry. After all, he got the biggest profit.

Harry looked at Xavier's expression, as if he was confirming whether Xavier was serious.

Xavier nodded vigorously to show that he was serious.

"Okay, I agree, how much do you need me to pay?"

Xavier fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a while he raised three fingers.

"Three thousand? So much?! I may not have this..."

"Three hundred galleons."

"Phew, I'm shocked. If it's three hundred, I'll definitely have it."

hiss~

Ron on the side took a deep breath and quickly drank water to calm down his shock.

"But all my money is in Gringotts' vault. I have it with me..." Harry touched his pocket and took out a handful of various currencies: "That's all."

"There is no need to pay now, just determine the amount of investment first." Xavier smiled: "I will use my money to purchase materials for testing first, and test the feasibility first. After we have the feasibility, we will formally establish the company."

"By the way, I just thought of a company name, Clover. What do you think? Clover represents luck, and we happen to be four people." Xavier changed the subject.

"Clover Food Company? It sounds good." Hermione thought for a while and said.

"It doesn't have to be limited to food." Xavier said, pointing at Ron: "Don't Ron's twin brothers make a lot of prank toys? They can also sell them... Their products are what He and I Min won't participate in the share without any involvement, but Ron, if your brother agrees, Harry's share must be given."

"That's for sure!" Ron agreed immediately... Although it didn't matter whether he agreed or not, it belonged to his brothers.

Harry wanted to refuse, but after seeing the look in Xavier's eyes, he had to swallow the words that were on his lips.

Maybe because they found it interesting, a few people gathered around the hot pot and discussed enthusiastically how to price, how to promote and how to sell, completely forgetting that their company had not yet been officially established, and their main products were not yet known.

Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday and there are no classes, so it doesn't matter how late we talk today.

And since they were chatting in the Gryffindor common room, they didn't have to worry about Mr. Filch suddenly jumping out.

However, what the four people don't know is that there are actually more than the four of them in the common room at this moment, and there are also two invisible customers, and one of them is the principal and the other is the vice principal!

"Let's go."

Professor McGonagall signaled Dumbledore with her eyes, Dumbledore nodded, and the two of them instantly apparated to the principal's office.

"What do you think, Headmaster Dumbledore?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"Hmm...it smells good. I can't wait to try it."

Professor McGonagall:  …

Who asked you this!
