Chapter 978: The Pureblood Man's Magical Home Appliance Brand
The sky cleared up, the rain stopped, and a certain young master felt that he was fine again.
The Daily Prophet no longer reported on him, and when Vincent saw how arrogant he was, he immediately started a more intensive anti-strike training.
Maybe it was because he was beaten too many times, so he became full of energy again after just two days of peace.
"Come on! Wayne, kill me if you can!"
"Still stubborn" and "Once the wound has healed, the pain has been forgotten" are used to describe people like Draco.
What Vincent can do, of course, is to continue to increase his intensity.
However, the happy campus life only lasted for a week, because on Tuesday, the 8th, the wealthy Master Lucius booked the entire front page of the Daily Prophet.
His purpose is very simple, just to advertise.
"Led by the Malfoy family, the 'Nobili' magic appliance brand, jointly established by the Parkinson, Nott, Zabini, and Flint families, was officially established today..."
Vincent continued to read on while eating his breakfast with an expressionless face.
“Nobili is an innovative brand that aims to lead new trends in the wizarding world, improve the quality of life of wizards, and bring more entertainment to everyone.”
Original brand?
When it comes to shamelessness, we have to look at the pure-blooded gentlemen. This is clearly a OEM brand.
There is nothing wrong with the brand name. The Latin word "nobili" means nobility and dignity, which perfectly fits their image.
It does sound quite intimidating at first glance. If there is no heavyweight competitor, the future magic home appliance market in the UK will probably belong to them.
At noon, Vincent received a video call from Bagman.
"Mr. Wayne, someone wants to win the live broadcast rights for the Triwizard Tournament."
No doubt it was those old men.
Vincent thought about it carefully and did not refuse immediately.
The fact that they are willing to spend a huge amount of money to acquire the live broadcast sponsorship rights is enough to show that they are determined to win the new market.
If I'm not mistaken, they probably want to officially release the product before the first event of the Triwizard Tournament begins.
"Mr. Bagman, let's forget about the naming rights. This is an official event after all. Too much commercial atmosphere will divert people's attention."
Bagman, who was projecting the screen, looked regretful. "Indeed, I will reject Nobili and the others right away."
"Wait..." Vincent's mouth curled up slightly, "Mr. Bagman, I just want the live broadcast to be purer. I don't mind them inserting advertisements during the event."
Wayne Enterprises will receive all advertising revenue, and since these wealthy gentlemen are determined to get it, they will definitely spend a lot of money on publicity.
Although advertising is not as effective as sponsorship, it is better than booking the entire front page of the Daily Prophet every day.
Bagman was in a trance for a moment. "Mr. Wayne, don't you have a particular aversion to them?"
Vincent shrugged. "Mr. Bagman, there is a principle of fair trade in the Muggle world. Besides, I am a businessman. How can I refuse the opportunity to make a lot of money?"
"Oh." Bagman replied softly, "Then I'll have them contact you directly."
Before hanging up the phone, his expression became extremely complicated.
There was surprise, incomprehension, but more of contempt.
Vincent didn't care too much. It was normal for officials to look down on businessmen.
However, Bagman's transformation is indeed huge. If he was still the gambler he used to be, he would definitely shamelessly act as a middleman to earn commissions.
A few minutes later, Bagman's video call came again.
But this time, it was Lucius who showed up with a fake smile on his face.
Vincent looked around and walked into an empty classroom.
"Good afternoon, Wayne--sir."
Vincent felt relieved when he heard Lucius's reluctant "Mr. Wayne".
"Good afternoon..." His smile was full of sarcasm, "Mr. Malfoy, I didn't expect that I could actually help a great master like you."
Lucius narrowed his eyes for a moment, but soon showed a hypocritical smile again, "No, Mr. Wayne, I sincerely want to cooperate with you this time."
Vincent put away his mocking smile and said, "It doesn't matter if it's genuine or not. Based on the principle of fair trade, I will not reject any brand that wants to cooperate with Wayne Enterprises."
Lucius stopped pretending after hearing this, "Well, we'll take all the ads for the live broadcast of the Triwizard Tournament from our Nobili brand!"
The wealthy, pure-blooded master speaks differently, and he wants to contract all the advertisements right away.
Vincent did not respond immediately.
He knew that Sirius was going to set up a new brand to attack the Malfoy family, and it was neither reasonable nor moral for him to give a response now.
"Mr. Malfoy, I still say that all our business cooperation with Wayne Enterprises is based on the principle of fair trade. It is impossible for you to take over all the advertisements."
Lucius showed an expression of "as expected", "Mr. Wayne, what do you want?"
Vincent smiled wickedly. "If I let you take over all the advertisements for the live broadcast of the event, it would be no different from taking over the naming rights."
His eyes were particularly sharp, as if they could pierce the other person through the projection screen. "I will hold a bidding meeting on Saturday, and I will invite all brands and companies that want to cooperate with Wayne Enterprises in advertising."
The bidding means the highest bidder wins, and in terms of wealth, the Nobili brand far surpasses any individual or group in any walk of life in the wizarding world.
For Lucius, anything that could be solved with gold galleons was no problem at all.
He raised his chin slightly, "Mr. Wayne, we will be there on time."
Vincent looked at Lucius on the projection screen with deep meaning.
Compared to the hypocritical look just now, he prefers this proud attitude that is unique to pure-blooded gentlemen.
"I will look forward to that day, Mr. Malfoy."
After cutting off the communication, Vincent called Sirius.
After waiting for a long time, the other party finally answered.
"Vincent? What's up? I'm busy right now."
Behind Sirius were rows of alchemical assembly lines, and old Shafik and the others were also there.
"Something's going on, and it's a good thing."
After roughly explaining the situation, Sirius' eyes lit up.
"You want us to attend your bidding?"
"Such a good opportunity, I believe you will not miss it."
The combined financial strength of the Black family and the Shafik family is, if not greater than that of the Nobili brand, at least equal to it.
Moreover, the new brand that Sirius is planning to establish will adopt the general solution of Wayne Enterprises, which will save costs while significantly reducing R&D expenses. The final selling price will definitely be much lower than that of Nobili, whose name implies nobility and dignity.
Besides, you don't necessarily have to win the bid in a bidding event. Simply raising the price to disgust the other party is also very good.
