Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Chapter 99 The direction of the protective umbrella

A lifespan of more than a thousand years... Hey, if you round this up, doesn't it equal an eternity?

Nicolas Flamel only lived over 600 years old.

"But why haven't we heard of such a long-lived vampire?" Murphy wondered.

"Ahem, this is just the upper limit of theoretical cell life under laboratory conditions, but the real situation in the human body is much more complicated than this. After all, the number of divisions does not mean that the cell function has not changed, not to mention that there are also cells such as nerve cells that are difficult to regenerate. .”

"Furthermore, the living environment of vampires is much worse than that of ordinary people. For example, extreme photophobia means that they can only move at night. Without sunlight, they will lack vitamin D, which will not only lead to osteoporosis, but also increase hypertension and heart disease. The risks may also affect their mental health.”

"However, one thing vampires are similar to bats is that they are very resistant to germs and viruses, and they are extremely difficult to get sick from them. In addition, they can instantly increase their heart speed several times, thereby greatly enhancing various physical abilities. They exceed This is how ordinary people’s speed, reaction and strength come about.”

"Currently, we have two team members who are trying to explore the underlying reasons for vampires' DNA repair ability. This research will undoubtedly have great reference value in extending human lifespan."

"In addition, we have also done research on the true blood of vampires."

"We found that true blood has a high concentration of cells and contains a large amount of substances that can infect other cells. It can transform an ordinary cell into a cell containing vampire chromosomes in a very short time."

"However, we have not yet studied the specific transformation process and mechanism. We have observed some abnormal phenomena, in which there may be some signs of the involvement of magic power. However, since there is no method of measuring and observing magic power, we cannot be sure. However, we have heard that research on spells The team is working on a magic detector, maybe we can find some testing methods in the future."

"Well, they have already built it. You should communicate with the conjuration research team about this. By the way, how is the research on Animagus?" Murphy asked.

Although the DNA repair ability of vampires may be able to extend human lifespan, which is an unexpected surprise, Murphy did not forget that the original purpose of studying vampires was to study the transformation pathway, and the core of the transformation pathway is the Animagus.

"I was just about to discuss this with you." Andrew said, "We referred to the method of preparing Animagus potions in the book and found that Muggles cannot make it at all, and Teacher Alex also said, No one has ever sold this potion. But without the potion, we wouldn't be able to do our research..."

The method of making animagus potion is almost the most complicated of all the potions Murphy knows.

The first step is to ask the wizard to put a mandrake leaf in his mouth and hold it for a whole month, not to mention collecting dew that has not seen sunlight and humans for seven days. Before the next thunder and lightning weather comes, every day Say mantras to yourself in the morning and evening, etc.

The steps were so complicated that even though Murphy had long wanted to become an Animagus, he tried two or three times during school, but all ended in failure.

There is a reason why Animagus are rare in the wizarding world.

The fact that Sirius and others can become Animagus is enough to show that their relationship with Lupine is really good.

However, this problem must be solved. Without magic potion for reference, it would be impossible for Andrew and the others to find the core principle of Animagus transformation out of thin air.

"I'll find a way." Murphy said.

Murphy has made up his mind to recruit a bunch of wizards and let them put blades of grass in their mouths every day. At most, if they spend a little more money, there will always be someone willing to do it.

"Boss." After chatting with Andrew for a while, Boris finished the physical examination and came over.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Murphy always felt that this guy seemed a little paler and thinner.

"So, Andrew didn't abuse you, did he?" Murphy teased.

"No, Dr. Andrew and others take great care of me." Boris answered seriously.

Well, okay, Boris is good in every way, but he is a bit too serious.

After taking him out of the magic laboratory and through the gate to the bungalow, Murphy asked about Mariana's situation and learned that she had almost recovered and was studying painting recently.

"Do you know almost everything about the company?" Murphy asked.

"We all roughly understand that Umbrella is a great company." Boris said, "The profitability is breathtaking and the development potential is unlimited."

Murphy nodded, and everyone could see this, "How do you think the umbrella should develop in the future?"

This can be regarded as a small test.

Boris pondered for a moment and said: "Umbrella companies are still in the stage of rapid expansion. Generally, at this stage, there are actually two directions that the company can choose in the future. One is to open up the upstream and downstream and carry out deep cultivation in the industry vertically; the other is to Expand our business and expand horizontally into more industries.”

"In fact, every company with grand ambitions will be involved in these two directions, but the emphasis is different."

As a practicing accountant, Boris is no stranger to corporate strategy.

"So which aspect do you think the umbrella should focus on?"

"I think umbrella companies are more suitable to focus on vertical deep cultivation routes."

"The umbrella company currently owns a pharmaceutical brand Isis Pharmaceuticals, which currently mainly sells Baiyao-related products. There is also a high-end cosmetics brand Camelot, whose cosmetics are mainly Venus series. In addition, there is also a research and development center, which also has In addition to patent output, patent licensing can also bring a lot of benefits.”

"In the eyes of outsiders, the R\u0026D center provides product research and development for Isis Pharmaceuticals and Camelot. It is a front-end department. But after carefully studying the information, I discovered that the R\u0026D center is your ultimate goal. Isis Pharmaceuticals and Camelot are just peripheral companies that provide blood transfusions to the R\u0026D center.”

"The R\u0026D center is the core of the umbrella, or in other words, what you need is the knowledge that the R\u0026D center can produce."

This is not something that can be seen from the financial report alone, but Boris often comes to the underground magic research institute and has some understanding of Murphy's real purpose.

"Guided by this purpose, I think the umbrella company is more suitable to become a high-tech innovative enterprise."

"First of all, with innovation and R\u0026D as the core driving force and competitiveness, through continuous development of new products, adoption of new technologies and other innovative means, we can achieve differentiated advantages and maintain profit levels that are much higher than the industry."

"Secondly, we should actively explore new markets and seek ways to transform and monetize the results of R\u0026D intermediate products to ensure a virtuous cycle of R\u0026D."

“Finally, build patent barriers, formulate industry standards, and become an oligopoly.”

"After an industry has been deeply cultivated to this point, it will continue to move into the next related field and gradually expand horizontally."

"Although the expansion speed of the vertical deep cultivation route is relatively slow, every step is extremely solid, and it always maintains sufficient bargaining power and can handle any decision-making with ease. It is the most suitable umbrella company and the development path that best meets your requirements."

Murphy stood up after hearing this.

"Very good, I'm relieved. Come with me to meet Patrick."
