Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 551 Workshop Owner

This time, Remus's injuries were not too serious. He just suffered a slight shock when he fell from upstairs. During the two days he was imprisoned in St. Mungo's, he basically recovered. Eighty-eight, but by the time he was actually discharged from the hospital, a few more days had passed.

On the day Amosta visited the Ministry of Magic, Fudge asked Sirius to negotiate with the Westsmith family, the controllers of Floo, to confirm whether Remus had just suffered an unreasonable disaster.

But everyone knew that this was undoubtedly a poor excuse. If Remus was really invited to discuss matters, then when the Ministry of Magic sent Aurors on duty, they should have made this clear in advance.After receiving the order, Sirius and Tonks immediately wanted to rush to St. Mungo's to release Remus from imprisonment, but they were persuaded by Amosta.

He spent a lot of effort to build a ladder for Fudge to step down smoothly. Fudge, who had obviously realized something, did not expose the truth. Instead, he cooperated very well and gave Remus a chance. But if they release Remus immediately, Si, then the Minister of Magic’s face is somewhat ugly.

Therefore, he still used Gringotts's channels to make an appointment with the Westsmith family, and obtained from them a letter of employment for Remus Lupine to be responsible for security work "three months ago". The incident came to an end.

"--The machine's universal parts list and material performance requirements are in the list I just gave you. There is no need to produce these parts independently. The fairies will cooperate with you to inspect some powerful supplier factories. If you If you think there is no problem, you can make your own decision and sign a cooperation agreement with the factory.”

At the end of October, the midday sun was like a drunken wine, lazily shining on the black stone pavement of the complex entrance lane of the Diagon Alley industrial area.

Amosta, Sirius, and Remus, who had just been picked up from St. Mungo's, walked slowly in the alleyway, talking while bathing in the warm sunlight.

As a few people went deeper, the thunderous roar of machines began to sound all around the originally quiet place, and the road became dozens of times wider. In the factory areas on both sides of the road, some towering chimneys were spewing out big drums of white smoke. .

There are many people in different costumes busy in each workshop.Most of these people are natives of the magical world, just like the villagers living in Hogsmeade who make a living from agriculture.

Very few Muggle-born wizards choose to do the most menial jobs in workshops after graduation, because in that case, they might as well return to Muggle society. A large number of those who choose this profession are actually similar to squibs. He had a little more magic power than Muggles, but his limited magic talent was not even enough to be admitted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so he had to work in a noble's factory to earn a living.

They do their best to stay in the wizarding world, hoping that one day in the future, the descendants of the family will have enough talent to enter Hogwarts, have decent jobs after graduation, and escape from the fate of being inferior to others.

Perhaps stung by the numbness on the workers' faces, Remus withdrew his gaze.

"Where are the important components?" Remus asked, "Can the core of the magic corridor that realizes its function be mass-produced?"

"Not yet—"

Amosta shook his head slowly.

"There is no workshop on the market that can produce magic corridors that are as complex as our products. Although I have designed this thing, we do not yet have the ability to mass produce it.
For the time being, I can only rely on myself to engrave magic patterns by hand, but if I want to create a machine for mass production, this part of the knowledge is very professional and I do not have this ability, so you have to use the alchemists in the fairy workshop. , Of course, it’s no problem if you hire someone with a high salary outside--"

"The cost of research and development is staggering, Amosta--"

The few people continued to walk forward, and Remus frowned and said,

"Although you have reached an agreement with the goblins, I'm afraid we can't expect them to keep pouring out gold for investment——"

"yes--"

Amosta responded calmly,

"We can't rely entirely on them, so we have to adopt a pre-sale sales model. Currently we have two prototypes. I have promised Fudge to donate one to the Ministry of Magic, and I will give the other to you. You can First advertise with the "Daily Prophet" and mainstream newspapers in various countries where magic civilization thrives. With my reputation and that of Hogwarts as endorsement, many people will be interested. Then you can bring the prototype with you. Door-to-door introduction--
If anyone is interested in purchasing, they can sign a contract in advance and collect a certain deposit to support research and development. The product delivery period is tentatively scheduled for half a year. If we can achieve mass production within the half-year period, then all problems will not exist, even if it does not work. , I will also hand-make some core components for production and supply--"

Remus was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Don't be too burdensome, Remus-" Amosta smiled and said in relief,
"I will definitely not stay out of it, including Dumbledore. If we encounter difficulties, he will not stand idly by. As I told you, we set up this workshop to ensure that if there is a war in the future, Huo Gwartz won't be strung out on operating capital, ah, here we are"

What appeared in front of them was a workshop that covered an area about the size of two Quidditch pitches. Such a scale was considered medium-sized even in the alchemy industrial area with many workshops.There are four factory buildings and a 'Gringotts'-style office building with white marble exterior walls in the factory area. It looks very grand and majestic. In front of the office building, all the workers in the workshop are queuing up and waiting. The new boss has arrived, and Jin Ge is leading a group of goblins guarding outside the big iron gate.

"That's what I told you, the little fairy Jin Ge sent by the fairies to help the workshop get on the right track--"

Looking at Jin Ge trotting over, Amosta smiled at him and said softly,

"There is no need to be too restrained in front of them, Remus, you have to remember that you are the decision-maker of this workshop, they are just your subordinates-"

"I see."

Remus took a deep breath and said.

It was impossible for Remus not to be nervous. Although he had been in the wizarding world for so many years and had extensive connections and knowledge, he had never had the experience of managing and operating a workshop, especially... Amosta has made it clear that if this workshop can be successfully opened, it will be of great significance to them.

"Mr. Blaine!"

The one-armed goblin Jinge stopped in front of Amosta, panting, and bowed down respectfully.

"Everyone in the workshop has gathered, they are waiting for your instructions!"

"This is Remus Lupin. I have told you before that he will be responsible for the future production and operation of this workshop-"

Amosta gestured to Remus,

"Mr. Lupine represents me fully, and I hope you will treat him with respect."

"certainly--"

Goblin Jinge immediately changed the direction of his lowered head and pointed it at Remus.

"It is a great honor to work with you, Mr. Lupin. Everyone in the workshop will obey your management. Do you want to say something to the workers?"

Except for half a year as a professor at Hogwarts, Remus had not had many opportunities to gain respect over the years, especially from a group of arrogant goblins.He pursed his lips and looked back at Amosta and Sirius, both of whom were smiling at him.

"I am equally honored to work with you, Mr. Jin Ge——"

Remus clenched his fists, took a deep breath, turned his head back, and smiled at Jin Ge.

"Let's go, Mr. Jin Ge, let's go say hello to the staff-"
