Chapter 287 Hosting the Quidditch World Cup!
"Miss Granger, this is the recent purchase receipt from Saints in Diagon Alley."
"Check it out."
Diagon Alley, Saint's shop.
Hermione, who has been studying management and economics for a long time, welcomes the opportunity to get started.
Take advantage of this summer vacation to study with Vita.
Vita was quite satisfied with this little Muggle-born girl, but when she saw Hermione and Argus, she always had a feeling of reincarnation.
The difference is... Hermione still has a chance, at least there is no one else in Argus' heart.
I...have no chance.
He is the black rose blooming in France, but unfortunately, it is not the one in his heart.
"Okay, Ms. Rozier."
Hermione is worthy of being the future Minister of Magic, and she picks up the skills very quickly.
In just a few days, he was able to handle various affairs of the saints skillfully.
"Aunt Vita, how's the deal going with the sponsorship of the Quidditch World Cup?"
"What was Fudge's reaction?"
The Quidditch World Cup is as important in the wizarding world as the Football World Cup in the Muggle world.
Even worse.
As the largest force in the UK at present, it is also the largest business empire.
Yagus certainly wouldn't miss it.
Whether it is door keys, food, clothing, housing and transportation during the World Cup, or taking this opportunity to promote new products of the Saints Group.
It seems like a huge investment, but the actual profit is absolutely unimaginable.
"Fudge has handed over the portkey and the right to host the stadium to us on behalf of the Ministry of Magic."
"But... Yagus..."
Vita frowned slightly: "According to previous years' practice, the World Cup organizer only needs to provide the stadium, and we will also provide tents and the like, right..."
Hermione on the side also showed doubts in her eyes, but she knew that her current vision was not enough to compare with Vita and Yagus.
Therefore, he only blinked and looked at Yagus without interrupting.
"We are not supplies, Aunt Vita."
Yagus explained with a smile: "The tents are only temporarily provided for them to live in. They will be taken back later and can be reused."
"Although the hosting of this Quidditch World Cup is handed over to the United Kingdom, wizards from all over the world, especially Europe, will come to watch the game."
“This is a great time to get us out of the UK.”
"Germany and Austria have lifted our captivity on the surface, but there are too many opportunities to stumble us secretly."
"We need to use a certain reputation and reputation to get ordinary wizards in these two countries to put pressure on them."
"But this investment is too big. If we want to recover the cost in a short time, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Vita didn't object, only raised her concerns.
"Tents are divided into different grades. We only provide the most basic ones. As for the high-end ones...it's very simple. Just spend money."
"Anyway, those purebloods lack everything except gold Galleons."
"The tents are positioned in three grades, and the highest grade is limited."
"It's not just wealth, it's a symbol of status and identity."
"Believe me, these purebloods who are obsessed with face are absolutely willing to spend a lot of money to compete for a so-called face status."
"As for ordinary tents, they are simpler. We provide tents, but some inexpensive samples can be placed inside."
"For example, candies, prank toys, etc. If you want to buy them, you can summon the saint's house elves."
Yagus originally wanted to say that except for the tent, all other items inside need to be paid for.
But then I thought about it, although this would make a lot of money, it would destroy the reputation that the saints had accumulated for many years.
It's really not worth it to lose a lot because of a small thing.
"Adult wizards have a strong sense of self-restraint, but children may not."
"Especially when the things they love are right in front of them, visible but not tangible."
Argus's words made Hermione and Vita suddenly realize.
Vita is used to Argus' business acumen far beyond ordinary people, but Hermione has never experienced this!
It's clearly written on his face...can he still operate like this?
In the past, she thought that the Saints' development to this day was mainly due to the contributions of Vita and others.
Yagus only speaks out at critical moments.
After all, given his age, no matter how talented he is, he still doesn't have enough experience.
It wasn't until today that she truly saw that all the strategies that supported the Saints' development into a British behemoth were proposed by the young man in front of her!
"Aunt Vita, go get ready."
"You can communicate with the Quidditch team in advance and ask them how many VIP box tickets they have sold."
“Based on the number of tickets, the number of tents in the highest grade will be reduced.”
"Okay, I'll go and communicate with them right away." Vita nodded.
"One more thing. Mr. Orion, the assistant teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, wants to see you."
"I said I owe you something."
"Orion?" Yagus didn't react for a moment.
I was stunned for a moment before I remembered who it was.
Sirius!
He hasn’t gotten his hands on the treasures of the Black family’s books yet!
"Tomorrow, I'll wait for him at Saints Bookstore."
"Okay, I'll have someone give him a reply."
Vita agreed and left.
Hermione was a little confused: "Mr. Orion? What can he owe you?"
Argus then remembered that he hadn't mentioned Sirius to Hermione yet.
He briefly explained Sirius's affairs to Hermione, and then finished explaining his grievances with Snape, Harry and others.
This caused Hermione to sigh.
Without mentioning it beforehand, Snape just called Harry his father.
It can be said that the only way to die was thought of by Sirius.
Although it wasn't his betrayal that caused it, if he hadn't turned into the King of Ideas, Peter wouldn't have been given the opportunity to tell the truth.
"So, Mr. Orion...oh, no, it seems that the Ministry of Magic has not clarified the case about Sirius, right?"
"No, we just caught him at first, but he escaped before we could hand him over to Principal Dumbledore."
"But with the testimony of me, Professor Lupin and Snape, Dumbledore should continue to investigate."
Argus knew Dumbledore's temper.
Although the Black family is small in number, it has a huge voice in the magical world.
If Sirius could really be fished out, it would be of great benefit to both him and Harry.
Unfortunately, Dumbledore would never have imagined that the Black family had been hollowed out by Argus.
Even if they are rescued, they can only provide a gathering place.
"Just leave this matter to me. You can help Aunt Vita deal with the Quidditch World Cup first."
"You can also ask Aunt Vita for advice on magic. Her strength is no worse than the dean of Hogwarts."
"I don't want to go back to school and find out I don't have any competition!"
"No way!" Hermione waved her fist, signaling Argus not to underestimate her.
She immediately lowered her head and continued working on the documents that Vita gave her.
