Entrepreneurship and Wealth in the Order of the Phoenix

The elevator reached the top floor, and Harry walked into the office area of ​​the executives, where Tonks' office was located.Before Harry saw anyone, he heard her scolding the staff from a distance. He walked over and saw the petite Claire wearing high heels of more than ten centimeters, holding a roll of unknown documents, counting In front of him was a dejected man like a defeated rooster.

"Hey, Claire?" Harry interrupted President Tonks' rage.

"Oh! God! Harry! It's so good to see you!" Claire exclaimed exaggeratedly, her eyes were full of surprise and joy.Just when Harry thought he was going to come over and give him a hug, Claire's face turned faster than the boat of friendship, and she folded her arms on her chest. "Oh, you still know, I'm exhausted every day, and my life is worse than Pepper's."

"You—" She turned her head to look at the employee being trained, walked to the drawer vigorously, tapped a few times on the computer, and a notice of termination of the labor contract floated out from the enchanted printer , flew directly to the man's hand.

"You can pack up and go home."

The man who was expelled because of embezzlement of public funds was found by the company's intelligent system, and then he got fired.

In the past few years, Claire has changed from a drunken employee who was fired by the company to an uncompromising president of a large company. She has also realized her dream of letting the company be destroyed and the boss who sexually harassed her sent to the hospital.While poaching the opponent's company, our domineering female president also met a handsome and gentle male secretary. The subsequent story is of course very beautiful.

Because of this incident, Tonks only yelled at Harry and didn't continue to nag him. He handed Harry a wedding invitation, and Harry turned it over to read it. Coincidentally, Claire's fiancé also His surname is Lupine, but he doesn't know if he is related to Remus.

Harry came to the company this time because he had business to do. If he was free, he would have gone to the Avengers Building to play.After the Great War of the Ministry of Magic, Albus had too many things to do, and the new Minister of Magic, Kingsley, was also very busy.Before the existence of wizards was disclosed, Order of the Phoenix Pharmaceuticals had been making health and beauty products, nothing more than diluting the potion and adding some stabilizers.

Today, most ordinary people know that there are wizards in the world, and there are magical things like potions. The Muggle army requested healing potions from wizards, and the mutant police department also rushed to ask for them.Fortunately, Harry reminded Claire that this situation will happen sooner or later, and asked her to develop a few more production lines.Their factory is in the outer suburbs of London, divided into two parts, inside and outside.

Only wizards can enter the factory, where they brew potions.It is different from the working environment full of dried mouse skins, cubs' fingers, grass straws, toad blood, etc. that most ordinary people imagine. There are waste tanks classified by different magical components, electronic balances, etc., and the silver knives are sorted and placed on a clean shelf.

The only thing that Muggles imagined was that it was really dark here.Whether potions are stored or made, some medicinal materials cannot be exposed to strong light, which is why Snape's office and potions classroom are eerie and weird, and there is nothing he can do about it.

Potion brewing needs to incorporate the magical power of wizards. This process cannot be industrialized. That is to say, with limited manpower, the potion here can only be produced in one day, and it is impossible to produce more.

There are about a few hundred people in the whole factory, most of them are young British wizards. Every year, they recruit more than a dozen Hogwarts graduates with Potions grades above E, and some of them are American wizards.There are more adults in the United States, and more wizards than in the United Kingdom. The work here is relatively easy, there is no major danger (unless you are a good hand at frying the crucible), the salary is very good, and many people come overseas to apply for jobs. strange.In addition, there are sporadic French and German wizards.

The potions here are transported to different production lines in foreign factories, and this link is automated production.Most of the workers here are Muggles, and the environment is very clean, like a large laboratory.After all, potions are easily contaminated. If something is mixed in, the quality drop is a trivial matter, but the explosion is a major event.

The company's research mainly focuses on this link.The formula of the potion has been tested by thousands of years, even Snape has difficulty changing the formula, what they have to do is how to make the diluted potion exert a greater effect.Harry also took a stroll around the lab, and saw an acquaintance by accident.

"Mademoiselle Delacour?"

Fleur's silver hair was particularly dazzling under the bright light, and she smiled back, obviously not that surprised. "Mr. Potter, I was just wondering where you were."

"What is Miss Delacour looking for from me?" Harry smiled in a rare and gentlemanly way.

"Actually, you're going to call me Mrs. Weasley in a month." Fleur's face was full of blissful smiles. She took out a silver-white invitation card with beautiful patterns from her bag, and held it with both hands. present. "Bill and I are getting married. You and Ron are good friends, right? You must come then."

Harry: "..."

What is it like to receive two wedding invitations in one day? ?

The crit of a single dog increases exponentially, and there is no way to live this day.

Everyone: Hehe, we are to blame, there are many girls who like you, who told you that you are demanding.

After seeing the factory and making sure that all the functions were working well, Harry put away the two invitations, and went to the mutant police station with Claire to find the deputy chief.The Mutant Police Headquarters in the UK is very interesting. The chief doesn't care much, and he is probably a mascot with high combat effectiveness.The daily affairs are basically handled by the shrewd deputy director who took office two years ago. This deputy director is named James Morris, who is a telepathic mutant.

Harry always thought this guy looked familiar.

"That's impossible." Harry glanced at it and pushed back the list Morris handed him. "It's not a matter of price. The key is that our daily output is only a small amount. The number of wizards is scarce, potions need to be handmade, and there are only three newest production lines for wound medicine. It is impossible for us to give up other businesses. You Know how much beauty potions are in demand among women, and how eager British men are to snatch hair restorers."

"But it's not the same as wound medicine, Mr. Potter. Our mutant police have paid a lot in the process of maintaining social stability and harmony." The deputy director said sincerely.But Harry didn't think he was showing his heart, but felt that this person was playing a game.

"Your potions bear the responsibility of saving lives and healing the wounded!" The deputy director sighed in an exaggerated tone: "Actually, I just looked at the budget, and the price we can afford can be doubled—"

"make a deal."

Tonks: "..."

Although what you said is the truth, is this too shameless, right? ?

"I really think he looks familiar, what's going on..." After coming out of the mutant police station, Harry scratched his hair with a confused expression. "Are you sure he's a mutant?"

"I'm not too sure. You may have to ask Professor X about this. Generally speaking, it's difficult for a mind reader with weak abilities to judge, because you don't know whether he is reading your mind or inferring your thoughts. But I don't know. I don't see the need for how long he can hide from a bunch of mutants if he's an ordinary person."

"It also makes sense." Harry didn't think much, and together with Claire, drove to the next destination, the London Temple.From there, they will arrive at the New York Temple through the portal of time and space, and then go to the joint factory of Stark Industries and Phoenix Pharmaceutical Company.

After they left, the deputy director named James Morris suddenly changed his expression and put on a crazy smile.

"Dear Sherlock - where are you? Why don't you come out - play - game - games?"

……

In addition to potions, alchemy, which is relatively unpopular in British magic, can also play a great role.Since the existence of wizards was exposed, several countries with the same source of magic decided to form a magical parliament, including Britain, the United States, Germany, France and several other European countries.Of course, other countries also have magical powers, but a group of cultivators said that those who fly with swords will not play with you broomsticks.

The seat of the parliament is underground in the United Nations building, and only wizards can enter.Albus has been arguing with a group of wizards in this place for the past few days. Wizards from other countries have heard that someone in the UK has taken the lead in establishing a wizarding enterprise in the Muggle world, and they all expressed their willingness to join—they also thought about doing it themselves, but Once there is competition, there will be competition, and competition will make the monopoly disappear. The total number of wizards is not large. Instead of fighting among themselves and making money for Muggles, it is better to unite and make money for Muggles.

In this way, the American branch of the Order of the Phoenix was established.From the management to the workers, its employees are basically Americans. This is also a concession made by the British Ministry of Magic to the US Ministry of Magic.Relying on the fact that he has the most people, the American wizard still feels that he is the world's boss. It is already very good to put the company under your name and let you take so many shares.

British wizards are good at potions, while American wizards are good at alchemy. It is their idea to cooperate with Tony's military industry.In the process of research and development of Stark Industries, this situation often occurs: some indicators of the product do not meet the requirements (such as low temperature resistance and high temperature resistance, but also maintain toughness, the power system cannot fail, etc.), change The materials again greatly exceeded the budget.

If science can't solve the problem, let's use magic.

Although the labor costs of wizards are expensive enough, no matter how expensive or troublesome it is for advanced weapons such as missiles, it is cheaper than improving the design over and over again. A group of people showed off the crazy operation of enchanting missiles.
