Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 540 Cooperating with Goblins
"I came here just to make up for my regrets——"

When Amosta said this in a casual tone, there was a brief silence in the room. Mr. Barna stared at Amosta Blaine opposite him calmly, as if he were an old man. The creases in the bark-like skin deepened.

"What a pleasant surprise, Mr. Blaine--"

Mr. Bana said slowly, without showing the slightest surprise in his heart. How could a wizard like Amosta Brain reverse the decision he had already made?He squinted his eyes, showing just the right amount of joy,
"I must thank you for your tolerance, Mr. Brain. Of course, you don't have to worry about remuneration. In this matter, the goblins will not charge any fees. All advertising fees belong to Hogwarts. "

"Please don't get me wrong, Mr. Barna--"

Amosta smiled softly and said,
"I still don't plan to let those mixed workshops or companies advertise during the Triwizard Tournament hosted by Hogwarts. This is not the venue of the Quidditch World Cup. The commercial atmosphere is too strong and it is not appropriate-"

Under Bana's focused gaze, Amosta took out something from his arms, turned around and handed it to Jinge beside him. The little elf had been waiting beside Amosta in fear, and was stunned for several seconds. After regaining consciousness, it hurriedly finished something with its one hand and trotted to the other side of the dining table.

"This is--"

Mr. Barna played with what Amosta Brain had taken out. He moved the reading glasses on his nose and said without missing a beat,

"This is what was mentioned in the security report you submitted to the competition review team at the Wizards' Council. The surveillance mirror is a very interesting invention and very practical. The goblins have conducted internal evaluations. If this thing can be realized Mass production will create another huge market.”

Bana's voice became more interesting.

"Yes, this thing is indeed widely used, but -"

Amosta smiled and said,

"For some reasons, I personally don't want it to be used on a large scale in the daily life of wizards. Mr. Bana, now that you have some understanding of the surveillance mirror, have you ever considered using it to Live broadcast of the Triwizard Tournament?"

The old goblin was really stunned now. It didn't expect that Amosta Brain would actually make such a suggestion, but——
In Europe, all countries with Gringotts broadcast the Triwizard Tournament live.
The turbidity in Gerson Bana's eyes was quickly replaced by light.

"Can you play the picture at the right time?"

Bana sat up straight with a slight stoop, his tone filled with surprise.

"Need some means--"

Amosta nodded slightly,

"You can cooperate with WWN (Wizard Wireless Broadcasting) and pay to borrow the signal receiving stations they have established in various European countries. You only need to make some adjustments to the surveillance mirrors and there will be no problem. Although the Triwizard Tournament is only for young wizards It is a competitive activity, but this traditional event has a considerable status in the history of magic in European countries. I think many people will be interested in it--"

It starts with interest!

Even the two little fairies Jin Ge and La Di realized how much wealth was hidden in it!
The tickets to watch the game are only the most basic. The advertisements placed at various game venues and the Gallonas that can be earned from gambling organized by the goblins are unimaginable when Amosta Blaine refuses to cooperate in the production of surveillance cameras. , Mr. Bana still felt a little disappointed, but now, the blood flowing in the veins of its old body has completely surged.

"This is indeed a very good business, Mr. Blaine--"

The old goblin's hoarse voice was full of excitement.

"You will become one of the richest people among wizards with this wonderful idea. Mr. Brain, if we can promote this method to the Quidditch League, then-"

Amosta raised his eyebrows, feeling slightly surprised.

This goblin's business acumen is indeed good. He just started it, and it can immediately introduce new things.

This is indeed an idea that can continuously bring wealth, but there are still many joints that need to be opened before it can form a stable source of wealth.

Looking at the old goblin who was thinking about the future of the industry, Amosta tapped the table with his fingers.
"You have a very keen business sense, Mr. Bana, but we can take time to talk about these long-term matters later. For now, what we need to focus on is the broadcast of the Triwizard Tournament."

"Ah, please forgive me for being rude, Mr. Blaine——"

The old goblin immediately broke away from his imagination and lowered his head slightly towards Amosta, "I haven't come across such a brilliant idea for a long time. Ah, of course, we are currently discussing the live broadcast of the Triwizard Tournament. We have to hurry up and reach an agreement with WWN, and rent venues and newspapers in European countries for publicity. But this will still bring us huge profits, you see——"

"The goblin needs to pay me [-]% of the profits--"

Amosta smiled and said something that the elf could not believe,

"This [-]% of the profits will be paid to the warriors who participated in the Triwizard Tournament to thank them for contributing wonderful competitions to the European magic world."

In other words, Amosta Brain is not going to interfere with all the remaining profits. All of them belong to the goblins?

This is impossible!

Gerson Barna made a judgment instantly.

In his long career, he has encountered many traps set by cunning wizards. Without exception, these traps are all wrapped in tempting clothes, but if you are really blinded by greed and dare to eat, then you must Will suffer unbearable losses.

Goblins are always pursuing the greatest interests, but this does not mean that they will be dazzled by the golden galleons. In fact, because of their desire for wealth, goblins are more ambitious than most wizards.

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Blaine--"

Gerson Barna calmed down, its voice regained its vigilance,
"But I think that you contributed this wonderful idea, and you and Hogwarts should be rewarded handsomely for it, right?"

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Barna--"

Amosta still maintained a graceful smile,
"Neither Hogwarts nor I will take a single gold coin from the proceeds from the live event, but that doesn't mean we have nothing else to ask for."

Looking at the old goblin who was listening intently, Amosta said calmly,
"On the surface, goblins focus on Gringotts' banking business, but in fact, goblins are involved in many industries privately. In addition to investment, there are various alchemy workshops that you directly control in various countries, and I What is needed is an alchemy workshop in the UK with complete production functions."

The old goblin's drooped eyelids trembled,

"An alchemy workshop with complete production functions, Mr. Blaine--"

There was a hint of displeasure in Mr. Barna's voice,
"You should know its value."

"I know very well -" Amosta said calmly, "but I think the income from the Triwizard Tournament live broadcast should be enough to pay for the purchase of the Alchemy Workshop, right? In fact, I can use the income I deserve to buy it. , but I don’t have much time and energy to spend on this matter, so I chose this convenient method.”

Bana quickly made a calculation in his mind, and then fell into silence.

To be fair, this transaction was not a loss, but it was a little uneasy because it was not clear Amosta Brain's purpose of eager to obtain the alchemy workshop.While it was deep in thought, its eyes suddenly touched the surveillance mirror on the table in front of it. The old goblin's eyes lit up and he blurted out,

"Do you want to build an alchemy workshop to mass-produce surveillance mirrors, Mr. Brain?"

Bana felt that he had found the truth of the matter. The applicability of alchemy tools such as surveillance cameras was very wide. As the inventor, Amosta Brain must have easily obtained the production license, which meant that he could exclusively enjoy this invention. In the long run, it can also gain profits from using this invention in the Quidditch League. No wonder he found excuses to refuse cooperation on the surveillance mirror.

"Oh, I already said it, Mr. Barna--"

Just when the old goblin was sure that he had discovered the truth, Amosta shook his head slightly and said with a smile,

"I don't intend to widely promote this invention into the daily life of wizards. I need the alchemy workshop because I have other things that need to be mass-produced."
