Chapter 32 Flying Carpet

Saturday, Hogwarts, Great Hall.

Ron and Harry got up very early today, because the Gryffindor Quidditch team will have a half-day training program on Saturday morning. This is an agreed rule for the major college teams. Each college team has a weekend Half-day court use, unless otherwise approved by the professor.

So the team arrived very early. There were not many people in the auditorium at this time. Even top students like Hermione would choose to sleep more on weekends, which would help improve learning efficiency. Anyway, Hermione is like this Said.

However, what surprised Ron was that Malfoy also got up very early today. He walked towards Raven holding two cylindrical packages that were taller than a person, one on the left and the other on the right. He also held a copy of the latest "Prophecy" in his hand. Daily News.

At this time, there was an exclamation from the long Gryffindor table. Reading the newspaper while eating breakfast is an old tradition for the British.

"Oh my god, Ronnie, look at today's newspaper."

"Dad, how could they allow such a thing to happen?"

George Fred was so surprised that he slapped today's Daily Prophet on Ron's desk.

Ron also read it carefully.

[The Ministry of Magic will relax some restrictions on wizards' home flying machines, and flying carpets can now be sold legally. ]

[Charlie's Cannons sweep across Puddlemere United, the Firebolts, and their developers, the Fang Wizard Home Flying Company. ]

[Explore the mysterious fanged wizard home flying machine company, Gringotts\u0026The Malfoy family\u0026Ali Bashir\u0026The mysterious French majority shareholder. ]

……

This Ali Bashir Ron also heard that an Arab flying carpet merchant had visited several times but was rejected by Arthur.

Rejecting flying carpets from the British wizarding world is not Arthur's decision alone. Behind it are the huge flying broomstick companies such as "Sweep" and "Comet", as well as the actual holding companies behind these companies, the "pure-blood family". ”, even the only Potter left, Harry, is included.

It is in the interests of all the families to reject flying machines other than broomsticks.

But what is going on with this new "Fang Company"? Is "Firebolt" a new model of broom?

There is a new company in the wizarding world that sells brooms, oh no, it sells aircraft. Ron was surprised, but as a Quidditch enthusiast, his favorite team defeated the old and strong team with a new broom. This is more worthy of cheering, isn’t it?

Ron screamed happily, but was stopped by Wood's death gaze. Oh, I forgot, Wood is a big fan of Puddlemere United.

What happened to the Fang Company? Of course, Gringotts provided the money, Malfoy provided the channels, Ali Bashir provided the production line, and the French majority shareholder behind the scenes provided the technology.

The major shareholder behind the scenes has already finished his morning tea. According to the plan of the major shareholder behind the scenes, Raven, first let Firebolt make a name for itself in the British Quidditch League, let wizards recognize the Fangs brand, and establish its top Status of aircraft manufacturer.

Then let Lucius Malfoy exchange his share of the flying carpet for shares in the broomstick companies of the major wizarding families.

With the strong performance of the Firebolt series, isn't it simply waiting for the devaluation of the old broomstick company? Old Malfoy is willing to take everyone to drink soup, so why not give him face and eat cabbage alone.

As for the counterattack from these broomstick manufacturers? It doesn't exist. Lucius will know it when he brings them the improved versions of the Firebolt.

What would happen if the current Firebolt appeared on the market at an extremely affordable price? These broomstick companies also know this. This is how they started, isn't it? Relying on the advantages of technology and cost, it squeezes out the established companies.

They should be thankful that Raven didn't plan to compete with them in the household broom market. Of course, this was also related to Raven's plan to sell the flying carpet at a high price.

At that time, ordinary wizard families will use brooms, and those with galleons in their pockets will buy fanged flying carpets. This will be a happy ending for everyone, everyone will be a winner, win three times!

On the Quidditch pitch, while everyone else was training, Oliver Wood showed Harry these game balls for the first time.

Wood is an out-and-out action man. He always feels that it is better to practice for ten minutes on the field than to practice for an hour, so he didn't mention the team's affairs to Harry much before.

"The Quaffle is just a ball. Three chasers are responsible for throwing it into the opponent's goal. Each goal gets ten points, and I am the goalkeeper of the team."

Wood pointed to a red ball and introduced it to Harry.

Then he patted the box again.

"These two locked black balls will attack players on the field indiscriminately. The two batters are responsible for hitting the opponent's players with their bats and protecting their own players. George is the one who likes to attack and protects the players. It’s Fred, it’s easy to tell the two of them apart on the field.”

Then Wood opened a closed small box and took out a golden ball.

The little golden ball spread its wings in Wood's hand, fluttering quickly and trying to fly away.

"This is the guy you need to be responsible for, the Golden Snitch. He is small in size, flexible in movement, and extremely fast. If you catch him, you will get 150 points, and it means the end of the game.

Harry, what you have to do is to catch the Golden Snitch before the opponent. Don't care about how many points are on the field. That's a matter for our other positions. You need to attack, attack and attack again. Do you understand! "

Wood's explanation was relatively relaxed at first, but became more and more exciting as he went on.

Harry nodded in confusion.

"It's started, it's started, Wood, he's started again, Hey, Wood, don't scare our new Seeker."

"The former king Charles departs, and the tyrant Wood is crowned."

Hearing George Fred's strange remarks, Wood didn't get too angry.

Charlie invited them to train last semester. He has long been accustomed to these two guys. Wasn't Charlie often annoyed by these two younger brothers at the beginning?

So Wood took a deep breath and yelled at the two of them.

"You have time to laugh at me here, why not go train! If you don't knock out Marcus Flint in the next game, just wait for me to give you extra training!"

After yelling out, Wood felt that the pressure had become less. As soon as Charlie left, the burden of the hospital team fell on him. He couldn't collapse as soon as the former captain graduated and the new captain took office. Then should Wood still play?

But who is Wolong Fengxiao? Can you be fooled by your little Wood?

But they left anyway because their good friend Phineas came over.

As Raven's pet, Phineas met George Fred for the first time since school started.

After all, for him, there were not many opportunities to stay with his master. It was fun to fool around with those two guys, but the master's pocket was Phineas's eternal harbor.

Um? Why does it sound like a bit of a scumbag?

Phineas was here, and Raven must be nearby, so George Fred searched subconsciously, and soon they found Raven and Malfoy carrying the package.

They were on the grass. Raven seemed to be looking for someone, and then he saw two people, Crouching Dragon and Phoenix. His eyes lit up, and he came over with Malfoy.
