Drag Sister to Dominate Hogwarts

Page 125



Selling books abroad is not something that can be done with just an open mouth.

That requires sufficient funds, as well as sufficient contacts abroad.

However, these two conditions are only one condition in Cassandra's view.

Especially since Cassandra can ignore profitability.

Even as Abstergo's first blockbuster product, Lockhart and his book, Kassandra could lose money on promotion.

But these things should not be known to Lockhart.

It is enough for him to be a human billboard.

"We have established a new company called Abstergo, you should know this?"

Lockhart nodded quickly, put away the arrogance and smirk on his face.

In front of the fans, he is a legend, but in front of Grandpa Capital, he is a stinky character.

"The goal of our company is to do cross-border trade."

"Transport the beautiful things of one country to another country and sell them."

"Your book is one of our selected British specialties."

Lockhart finally understood now, and he quickly complimented, "It's a genius-like idea, a little bit better than mine...um."

"The quality of my books is very good, and they will definitely sell well in other countries, all you need is a little effort in the early stage."

"Okay, professor, I know how difficult it is."

Cassandra took out two contracts: "The most important thing is that we need to deal with the Ministry of Magic of various countries, but the sales volume is the second most important."

"There are two contracts here, you can choose one to sign."

Although it was strange in his heart, it was not Horace who presided over these affairs, but the little princess of the Malfoy family.

But the impatient Lockhart quickly picked up the two-point contract and looked at it.

It didn't take long for him to notice the difference.

The first type of contract was that his books were bought out at a price of one thousand Galleons each, after which no matter how Abstergo Company operated or how much money it made, it had nothing to do with Lockhart.

Just after reading this contract, Lockhart knew that he could not accept this condition.

He loves Jin Jialong, but loves being famous even more.

Lockhart didn't like the life of letting him work as an obscure money-collecting machine behind the scenes.

And another contract made his eyes shine.

Lockhart will sign a contract with Abstergo to become the face of Abstergo's publishing business, with a salary of 150 Galleons per month.

There is no time limit for this job, just responding to Abstergo's request and cooperating with publicity.

The book sales income is guaranteed at a minimum of 500 Galleons, and if the profit exceeds 500 Galleons, Lockhart will be given a 10% share.

Seeing this, Lockhart has already chosen the latter in his heart.

Even if you don't mention the monthly guaranteed income, just the opportunity to appear on camera frequently is not something Lockhart will refuse.

But on the surface, Lockhart still insisted, "Miss Malfoy, isn't 10% too little?"

"You know, I'm a famous writer..."

"Professor, I can give you 20% of the share, but I will withdraw the 500 gold galleon guarantee clause for each book."

"Are you really that confident in your book?"

Looking at Cassandra's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Lockhart laughed twice.

Then he immediately picked up the quill and signed the second contract.

After signing, I wanted to shake hands with Cassandra, but Cassandra did not respond.

Lockhart was not angry at all, and withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and even showed a brighter smile: "So what do I need to do next?"

"Please do whatever you want, Miss Malfoy."

Cassandra directly took out a Gringotts ticket, wrote 6150 Galleons on it, and handed him to Lockhart.

"This is your guaranteed manuscript fee for 12 books and your first month's salary. Afterwards, a reporter from the Daily Prophet will interview you about our company."

"As the spokesperson of the company, I don't think I need to remind you how to speak, professor?"

"If there is anything else that needs your attention...after you enter Hogwarts, please don't provoke the little witches there."

"Many of them are my friends."

112 3/3 Hello, Luna

Lockhart took the ticket with trembling hands.

He originally wanted to verify the authenticity of this ticket, but the remaining vanity still made him control his behavior.

As for what Cassandra said, although he heard it, he didn't take it to heart.

Compared with Jin Jialong, what are you doing to provoke a few little witches, and ask them to help you reply to fans?

Besides, if there is no little witch, isn't there still a little wizard?

Things like free labor are still easy for boys to use.

Lockhart was about to leave just now, but Cassandra thought of something and said, "By the way, Professor."

"Although it has been written in the contract, I still want to remind you."

"Don't give away Abstergo secrets, like what happened here today."

Lockhart grinned, intending to say something nice.

But the 12-year-old girl in front of him suddenly made him feel a little scared.

Thinking about it carefully, today's incident Horace is nothing more than a giant elephant.

Everything was resolved by the girl in front of him, and even he was easily pulled into her rhythm by the girl in front of him.

Even in the face of the executives of the Ministry of Magic, he had never been so passive.

Therefore, the smile on the corner of Lockhart's mouth never showed, but he said respectfully with a stiff expression: "I see, Miss Malfoy."

Then he left the room as if fleeing.

But it didn't take long for him to laugh happily.

Here, just minutes from Gringotts, he had already received his pay, almost doubling his coffers.

"That's why you like him so much?"

After finishing the matter, Cassandra and Horace were also preparing to leave the Broken Ax Bar.

He still doesn't understand Cassandra's support for Lockhart.

Doesn't Cassandra have more people to support?

"I'm just selecting the tall ones from the short ones. There are too few talented people who are not controlled by the Ministry of Magic and big companies."

After the two went out, Cassandra looked at the Leaky Cauldron behind her: "For example, if we want to talk about things, we need to come to a place like the Leaky Cauldron."

"There aren't many options in the whole wizarding world."

"Our company must build a guest house, built in the Muggle style, when the time comes, mentor, you can enjoy life in it."

Horace's eyes lit up. He had been envious of the luxurious life of Muggles for a long time.

But Horace would not delay work for extravagant enjoyment, and said, "I'll go to the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler in the afternoon, but about the Quibbler...forget it, you're an expert on this."

From the perspective of Horace's status, he naturally prefers the Daily Prophet, and is less likely to read the Quibbler.

But since Cassandra can even buy Lockhart, there is nothing wrong with being a naysayer.

However, what Horace never expected was that his invitation to the Daily Prophet went well, but he was rejected by the editor-in-chief who sang against the tune.

The reason is also very ridiculous.

Xenophilius Lovegood and his daughter, Luna Lovegood, are at home to drive away moles.

He could neither receive Horace nor open the door, lest he be harmed by harassment.

And all this made Horace feel insulted.

"Although my specialty is not magical animals, I can be sure that I have never heard of such a thing as harassment."

"It's ridiculous to reject me on such vulgar grounds."

Cassandra looked at the angry Horace, as if she saw a large elephant howling.

But Cassandra, who is familiar with the Lovegood family, understands that all this should be just a misunderstanding.

That family really believed in the existence of the harassment, at least until they proved that the harassment did not exist, they would use ritualistic means to fight against the harassment.

Horace was probably only accidentally wounded.

But Cassandra didn't explain.

Because after the explanation, it would only appear that the Lovegood family was too weird, and dealing with such people was obviously not Horace's specialty.

"Let me try it."

Horace still hesitated, and Cassandra said: "The Lovegood family only has a father and daughter, and they are not dark wizards. I am enough alone."

Horace nodded and allowed Cassandra to visit the family alone.

Although Horace felt that there was a high probability that Cassandra would be turned away.

The Lovegood family in a cart-like house near the village of Ottery St. Catchpole, just at the foot of Ferret Mountain.

In other words, when Cassandra's company is officially established, she and this family will be considered neighbors.

Of course, the Weasley family, the Diggory family, and some other wizards also settled near the Ferret Hill.

After all, the wizarding world is too small, and there are not many places for Cassandra to choose, and there are even fewer venues that the Ministry of Magic is willing to approve.

Ferret Mountain became the most suitable location.

After all, the future Quidditch World Cup can be held here, which is enough to show that the environment here is more suitable for people to live in.
