Chapter 55: Marchionne's Magic Workshop

Marchionne was a man who was passionate about the pursuit of wealth, and he was always very explicit about it.

After signing the contract, Marchionne urged to take the next step immediately. He was not willing to waste a second of making money. This time, Professor Murray asked Steven to entertain the guests at the party while he accompanied Wade to Marchionne's magic workshop.

"It's best to put the first batch of goods on the shelves before the start of school. Students and their parents will definitely be willing to empty their wallets to buy our goods." Marchionne said enthusiastically: "We can also launch different packaging and different quantities. , different qualities. Even if it is just to add some printing on parchment and sprinkle some gold powder, the pure-blood nobles are willing to pay three times the price. By the way, I have to rush to make a batch of posters and put them up tomorrow morning. Go to Diagon Alley!"

Wade couldn't help but be speechless and asked: "Is it too late?"

"Of course!" Marchionne blinked: "Dear Vader, the world of magic is omnipotent!"

Vader thought he had some magical spell that could speed up production, but when he used Floo powder to get to Marchionne's company, he discovered that it was the power of money.

The company hall is very spacious, with a small flowing waterfall in the center, and the large characters "Aslan's Magic Workshop" shine in gold above the water waves. The arched dome is painted with pictures of various magical creatures, some of which are still moving slowly. There were burning fireplaces all around, with green flames rising and falling, and wizards coming out of them from time to time.

"Why are you suddenly notified that you have to work overtime during the Christmas holiday?" A young man probably didn't notice that his boss was also nearby and complained loudly: "I was planning to travel to Italy!"

"I heard that there are products that need to be produced urgently." Another witch said with joy: "Overtime pay will be three times the usual rate!"

The short-haired young man immediately calmed down: "That's it, that's not bad."

“Give way—please give way—”

A goblin shouted loudly, directing the box as high as a hill to move with difficulty. He moved slowly because there were many people in the hall, which made the goblin look very irritable.

The sudden increase in work tasks made everything look messy, and there were also several house elves running between people's legs, running around quickly and delivering various things.

Colorful paper airplanes were hovering in groups over the hall. From time to time, when they spotted a person, they would plunge down from above with a whooshing sound.

"Oh, damn!" A wizard suddenly wore a paper airplane on his hat. He took off the airplane and unfolded it to take a look, and immediately shouted: "Why did I just find out now that there is not much oil in the stone scale fish! I said it long before the holiday. Check the inventory and replenish it promptly! Don’t let me know who is neglecting their duties!”

He hurried through the crowd, almost knocking over the goblin, who was so angry that he dropped the box and cursed loudly.

Wade was very surprised.

Judging from the current messy state of the magic workshop, Marchionne may have just ordered all employees to prepare to work overtime after seeing the effect of the Book of Friends - at that time, everyone still held out hope of negotiating with Professor Murray, but the situation was Marchionne, who must win, may have already thought about how to carry out the follow-up work.

"Sorry, it's really messy here today! It's not usually like this. Vader, Professor, follow me, this way."

Marchionne led Wade and Professor Murray through the crowd and entered the special elevator. He breathed a sigh of relief, pressed the button for [Sixth Floor - Technical Department], and loosened his collar at the same time.

"Your workshop now has seven floors?" Professor Murray squinted at the row of elevator buttons and said, "I remember it was only five floors when I came here last time."

"Yes, we have developed well in the past few years." Marchionne said proudly: "The transformation of the magic radio is a big step, and this is also thanks to the professor's willingness to give us authorization."

"There are not many wizards who are willing to take the initiative to accept new things, let alone modify Muggle objects. Many people still think that Muggles are stupid, low-level creatures. They are really stupid!"

"When I first went to school, I saw the scarlet train running like a giant beast in the Scottish Highlands. I was deeply shocked by the wisdom and power of Muggles. After graduating from school, I originally wanted to I went to a Muggle university to study, but due to various reasons, I regretfully gave up..."

"——For various reasons, isn't it just because I don't understand?" Professor Murray revealed the facts bitterly.

"Hahaha - don't speak so bluntly in front of children, Professor!"

Wade suddenly discovered that although Professor Murray often complained about Marchionne, the relationship between them was much better than it seemed on the surface. When talking in private, there was a special tacit understanding.

He looked at the posters on the elevator and listened silently without interrupting.

There are two goblins and five or six wizards in the technical department. They have prepared various tools and are waiting in the office. This place is different from a Muggle office. There are all kinds of wonderful, slowly moving magical objects, lights of different colors flash from time to time, and the room is filled with many tiny sounds.

When they arrived here, Professor Murray and Marchionne found an empty table and sat down to drink tea while Wade communicated with the people in the technology department.

Ved first demonstrated the production process of the Book of Friends. He brought ready-made potions that took a long time to prepare. All the people present were experts. They almost mastered the general process after watching it once. Then they disassembled the whole process step by step, and finally reached a point where more than 80% of the small steps could be completed even by third-year students at Hogwarts. Some people were constantly calculating how to further reduce the cost and find various materials for preparation. In less than half an hour, the technical department had determined the production process of the first batch of products, and the entire magic workshop really entered the stage of high-speed operation.

During this time, although Marchionne only occasionally chatted with Professor Murray in a low voice, he was also observing Ved without leaving any trace.

The black-haired boy was not very tall. He rarely spoke after showing his work, but every time he spoke, he would speak meaningfully and to the point. The members of the technical department tried to change his magic rune circuit several times, but before they did it, he pointed out the consequences of doing so - either reducing stability or causing delays or even loss of transmitted information.

As it turned out, he was right every time.

Marchionne secretly stuck out his tongue, finally understanding why Professor Murray had always looked down on his level - he had clearly scored an E (good) in the Ultimate Wizard Registration Exam -

Look at this kid, he not only has genius creativity, a diligent attitude towards study, but also a very pragmatic and hardworking experimental spirit - if he had not tried dozens or hundreds of times, how could he know all the changes?

No wonder Professor Murray, with his current status, is willing to give up his face to stand up for this kid and personally fight for greater benefits for him.

There are many geniuses in the world, like flowing water, and Marchionne himself is also called a genius by some people, so he understands even more - if many geniuses only have smart minds, they will be lost in the crowd as they grow up, and even go straight to Azkaban for further study because they are too "smart". Only a genius like Wade - as long as he does not die halfway - his achievements are unquestionable, and his glory is obvious.

How to win over such a genius?

Marchionne changed his strategy, which he had adjusted three times.

Eleven years old... Is this child really only eleven years old? It makes him feel as if he has lived on the body of a Flobberworm for more than thirty years...

Could it be...

Suddenly, Marchionne leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Professor - Professor Murray - tell me the truth - this child is actually your illegitimate child, right?"

Wade, who was discussing the lead powder ratio with the technical department, suddenly heard a scream. He turned around and saw that Marchionne had rolled down from the table to the ground, and Professor Murray smiled and indicated that everything was fine.

——But for some reason, his smile was a little hideous.

Wade blinked blankly.
