"So, how did you turn the distributorship into the sole distributorship and deceive people into employees?"
Gemma looked shocked after hearing the new news Luke told her. Looking at Luke, who claimed to have no talent for business, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
When Luke heard this question, the corners of his mouth twitched and he said, "You might not believe it...these are the conditions he gave himself."
Strictly speaking, what Luke said was not a lie. After all, these conditions were indeed agreed to by Laien himself. Luke just gave a little guidance on the side.
For example, they said things like "A big group is to be established but only one researcher", "We will all be a family from now on, and this group will buy specialties for everyone" and so on.
After finishing speaking, Laien said that he didn't know much about this, but he had no problem studying it. He was good at studying not only door keys but also magic spells.
Luke didn't know if he was very good at it or not, but being able to fool a researcher so easily was like trying to kill a rabbit.
Gemma looked at Luke's slightly subtle expression and knew that this matter might be different from what she thought. But now I don’t have to worry about it anymore. It's not such a bad thing after all.
And Gemma breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"When I was discussing with Lao Lance just now, I discovered that we said there are many industries, but the products sold in these industries are not very competitive. The scale seems to be quite big, but there is nothing big at all. Ability." Gemma looked at Luke and said with a smile, "Fortunately, you convinced Lain. Although it cannot be sold on the market, this special door key can help us occupy a complete market after all. ”
Luke was a little surprised when he heard Gemma's words: "You really did what I told you to look for and read all those Muggle books."
Gemma rolled her eyes at Luke and said, "I'm also a mixed-race myself. Although I haven't had any contact with the Muggle world for many years, I still have some memories from my childhood, and some common sense is still there, of course. It’s not that exclusive.”
The mixed-blood wizard has naturally become more or less repulsive to the Muggle world due to his years of experience in school. It is said that things have gotten better over the years. In the past, after half-blood wizards graduated from Hogwarts, due to the influence of their classmates and even some teachers, they were unwilling to have any contact with the Muggle world.
There are even cases where the relationship with the father or mother is severed.
Those were the craziest times for pureblood worship. But this trend of thought is just dormant for now.
But now, the only thing that Gemma can take the initiative to learn from Muggles is that in the eyes of the mainstream of the wizarding world, it can be said to be quite deviant.
"Very good, keep up the good work and learn more. Anyway, you can still learn it now. In the first few years, it's okay if we don't make any money. You try to combine some of the knowledge you learned from the Muggle world with the reality of the wizarding world." Combined."
Luke didn't think that the operating methods used by companies in the Muggle world could be swept across the wizarding world. No matter what kind of experience it is, it cannot be copied. There are no two identical leaves in the world.
Gemma nodded. Although she didn't quite understand the reason, she also knew that Luke's words were not meant to harm her.
"I know, right," Gemma suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Luke, "before the squib you arranged for me to be active in the Muggle world, let me go to him for an internship to see what these are. How to practice..."
"This is also what I arranged."
Luke interrupted Gemma before she could finish. Seeing the embarrassed look on Gemma's face, Luke was helpless but not surprised.
"Just go. Go and see the current Muggle world. Don't be like those old haters who lie in the pile of old papers all day long and look for your own honor."
"I'm willing to have some contact with Muggles, what else are you not willing to do?"
This isn't the first time Luke has put up a front that leaves no room for doubt in front of Gemma. But this was the first time he used himself as an example, and it could be said that he directly scolded many nobles.
But what Luke said makes sense. If he is not ashamed to be in contact with a squib, the rest of his men have no right to be ashamed of it, no matter how reluctant they are.
After all, your boss is like this with his noble status. Are the people under you more noble than your boss?
Some noble-born ministers may indeed look down upon bosses who come from rough backgrounds. But if this boss is more capable than you, has a stronger background than you, and has bigger fists than you, after being completely crushed, it seems that there will be no room for you to be tough and strong.
"Okay, I will agree. I will apply in advance to study abroad in the last half semester. I will go there to study first."
Gemma also agreed happily. If she had no reason to object and this matter did not touch the bottom line, then agreeing happily would definitely be much better than winning after useless entanglement.
Luke nodded, then thought about it, and said, "If possible, let Raymond show you more of the current Muggle world."
Luke didn't say much, but looking at his expression, he seemed quite helpless.
Gemma wasn't quite sure why Luke was looking that way. But she still nodded and said: "I will."
Luke let out a sigh of relief.
It is much more difficult for wizards to open their eyes to the world than what they have seen in history in previous lives. After all, he is still just a child.
Take your time, it's still a long time.
"Have you discussed everything with Old Lance and the others? I don't plan to sign a vassal covenant with them this time. It's really troublesome, and I also have to bring a few oil bottles with me. Maybe it will happen again at some point. I’m thinking of terminating this contract.”
Luke has no objection to working with the Lance family. But this does not mean that he does not dislike the Lance family.
When it comes to use, come over and rush to become a vassal or even a subordinate. When it is no longer needed, find a way to terminate the contract. No matter how difficult it is, it is difficult for such a family to show favor to others.
Gemma noticed Old Lance who was discussing something with Ryan Kane behind her. She also noticed the awkward look on Old Lance's face. She also knew that this was Luke giving Old Lance eye drops to save him. It is a hindrance to yourself and a stumbling block.
So she also echoed and said: "Well, we have already discussed it. After all, it is just a small matter. Without the help of the Lance family, it will only take a few more years of work. We are still young, we still have a long time, we wait I can afford it.”
Old Lance became more and more embarrassed as he listened behind him, but the expression on his face did not change at all. It's just that this little taunting is really not worth his blushing.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Luke didn't give him another chance.
"Then let's go first. I didn't expect the matter to be resolved so quickly. I thought there were so many important things to deal with." Luke looked at the darkening sky, shook his head, and then turned around He said to Old Lance and Lain, "If you don't have anything else to say, we'll leave first."
Old Lance immediately handed over the contract in his hand, and then said with a smile: "There is still time to sign the contract."
Luke took the pile of parchment, shook it, and tapped it with his wand. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he nodded and asked Gemma: "You have checked the contents, right?"
"The content is fine."
Gemma said calmly.
Luke expected there would be no problem. He was more worried that there was a problem with the contract itself, rather than the content of the contract.
After confirming that it was correct, Luke did not hesitate and turned the parchment to the last page, took out the quill from the ink bottle, and wrote his name in elegant handwriting.
Afterwards, golden light flashed on the contract, and the contract was completed.
Of course, although this contract is very strong, it is not comparable to the previous vassal contract. In other words, the cost of terminating the contract will be relatively lighter.
Luke was happy to see this happen. He also doesn't have much trust in the Lance family. Everyone is using each other now, which is pretty good.
After signing, Luke put the pen back into the ink bottle and handed the thing to the old man.
Old Lance saw everything that just happened and became more aware of Gemma's position in Luke's heart.
"Aren't you going to stay for a meal? I have prepared a sumptuous dinner here."
Old Lance's tone was very sincere.
In fact, he did want to keep Luke for a meal.
It wasn't that he was being close, but as far as he knew, Luke really didn't have any family members anymore. Unless he returns to Hogwarts now, there is a high probability that he will spend Christmas Eve alone tonight.
Luke, as expected, waved his hand and said: "No, I have things to do at home. Speaking of which, I just came to your place to accompany Gemma on the way."
Everyone was silent, but Luke stood up and walked towards the door.
"etc!"
Lain, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, caught up with Luke, and took out a new ring from his pocket.
It's exactly the same ring as the one I used when I came here before.
Apparently, this is also a portkey.
"Your address is not a secret in the circle. After I found out, I prepared one for you."
As he said that, he handed a ring with a string attached to it into Luke's hand.
After Luke pinched the rope and took it, Lain spoke again: "This is my newly invented type of door key. It can be set in two locations. The first location was set by me, near your home."
Speaking of this, he said with some annoyance: "The magic protection level of the forest around your home is too high. I can't get close. After barely entering, the door key cannot be used. So this door key can only take you to your forest. Outside."
"As for the second location, you can just set it yourself. The first one is a fixed location. The second one can be changed temporarily. Just follow the normal steps for making a door key. You know how to do it."
Luke nodded. He didn't know how to make a portkey yet, but it shouldn't take much effort to learn.
During this half semester at school, he completed many small side tasks. He was rewarded with many magic cards, but he hadn't opened them yet. If you really need it, just take a gamble.
Laien nodded and warned again: "This door key can only be used 5 times. This is the limit of what I can do now."
"very good already."
Luke said seriously, compared to the normal door key that can only go back and forth between two places and has many restrictions, this door key can already go to two different places, which is already very powerful.
The limit on the number of uses may be due to structure or materials. Think of a way, even if you can't solve it, you can increase the number of times as much as possible. This is the job of the researcher.
Luke glanced at Lai En and said with a smile: "It seems that you do have a talent for research."
Lain puffed up his chest proudly, then turned his head and said to Gemma: "I'll make you a door key too. A one-time kind, and send you home."
"No, I have Floo at home."
Gemma shook her head and rejected Lai En's kindness. In fact, Luke also has a Floo network at home, but it is just done by Lain, so there is not much difference between using a portkey and using a Floo network.
But if the door key is made now, the two of them have to discuss where to live. If Lai En has never been there, they have to find a place as close as possible. Much more troublesome than Floo Network.
The excitement on Laien's face suddenly softened, and he muttered "How can the Floo network be as useful as the portkey", but he didn't say anything else.
Luke looked at everyone with a smile, and then said softly: "Goodbye, everyone, for the glorious tomorrow."
Gemma, the look on old Lanceline's face straightened.
Although they had never heard Luke say anything similar to this slogan. But they all know what to do now.
"Yes, for a glorious tomorrow."
Luke grabbed the ring and disappeared.
The next moment, he saw his very familiar forest.
It's gloomy, dark, and smells of danger.
Hmm...a familiar feeling.
So he took a deep breath of the air with the fragrance of grass and trees, and then strode into the forest.
When Luke stepped into this small forest, he felt bursts of joy.
It was like the forest was welcoming him back.
In fact, it was not much different from the forest welcoming his return. When Luke approached his hut, he saw snakes active around the hut.
They were not defeated by the cold winter, during Luke's absence. They have been waiting here, waiting for Luke's return.
When they saw Luke, they jumped for joy, they cheered, but they didn't rush up in droves.
Instead, he lowered his head, showing a posture of surrender.
But their excitement did not diminish at all.
Luke felt his nose become sore.
Damn, it feels like home.
