Chapter 633: Vader: Ideas to Make Money
Wade raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You are really well-informed. The Shapeshifting Gummy has only been around for a week."
"Haha." Marchionne rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "How many Animagus wizards are there in the entire wizarding world? This candy can transform people into various animal forms. It caused a lot of discussion as soon as it appeared. I just heard some news from a few friends."
He glanced at Wade and said with some complaints: "Wade, dear Wade, what is our relationship? You have such a good product, but it took me a whole week to find out about it?"
"You're wrong." Wade shook his head and smiled, "The Shapeshifting Gummy was mainly invented by Fred and George. Although I helped improve it, it can't be said to be 'my product'."
"Fred and George?" Marchionne's eyes lit up. "It looks like Hogwarts is going to have two more outstanding alchemists. I know they have great potential! Where are the twins? I want to talk to them about the sales channel issue..."
As he spoke, he stretched his neck and looked towards the audience.
The Gryffindor students all wore scarves with gold and red interlaced, and some even wore lion-shaped hats on their heads, which was really eye-catching.
Among them, the red-haired twins were always the most lively. It took Marchionne almost no time to find the brothers in the crowd.
Just as he was about to go over, he heard Wade say, "I suggest you give up your current plan."
Marchionne was stunned for a moment, then realized something and the smile froze on his face.
He turned his head and looked at Wade in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly. After a long while, he asked in a trembling voice:
"Which bastard tricked the twins away? I don't believe anyone can offer better conditions than me! If there is, he must have set a trap to deceive people! Don't be fooled!"
That expression, that look, was like a lovesick woman looking at a treacherous man.
Wade couldn't help laughing: "You misunderstood, there are no other partners...Fred and George just plan to use it as the signature product of the joke shop."
Marchionne: "..."
He gained a little comfort, but he became more pessimistically aware that when his own interests conflicted with the dreams of young people, it would be difficult to change their minds, no matter how much he induced them with words or tempted them with benefits.
His chances of getting the rights to sell the gummy bears became even slimmer.
Marchionne felt as if he had missed out on 100 million gold galleons. However, when he saw Wade's concern in his eyes, he miraculously felt much better.
The Weasley twins are geniuses who occasionally come up with some brilliant ideas, but they are too playful and not diligent enough, which wastes their great talents.
The Wade in front of him is the real gold mine that can bring him endless benefits.
And with Wade's personality, he would only indulge in research and would never run a store to produce and sell his own products.
Wade had a good relationship with the Weasley brothers. If he insisted on persuading the twins to authorize the sale of the Shapeshifting Gummy, he might not only fail to achieve his goal, but would also ruin his relationship with Wade.
In just a few seconds, Marchionne's mind went through several turns. After thinking clearly about the interests involved, he relaxed a little, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally for a few times, and finally forced a smile on his face.
"Ah...Is that so...It's a good thing for young people to have dreams..."
Marchionne held back his heartache and said, "Where is their store? Maybe I can still provide some support..."
"Actually," Wade said with a smile, "their store is just a plan at the moment." "Well, once they've chosen a location, feel free to contact me." Marchionne said, "It's easy for an inexperienced person to suffer a loss when opening a store for the first time."
"Then let me thank you on their behalf," Wade said.
Marchionne couldn't help but sigh, took a step closer, and asked in a low voice: "Um... Vader, the Daydream Quill Pen was invented half a year ago. Do you have any other interesting inventions recently?"
Looking at those sparkling, longing eyes, Wade couldn't help but soften his heart, and strangely felt some guilt for not being able to give him the Shapeshifting Gummy.
He glanced at the excited faces of the audience in the stands, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Although I don't have any new inventions, I do have an idea to make money..."
Marchionne's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had cast a sunlight spell, and he asked quickly, "What is it? Your idea must be great, tell me about it!"
Wade stroked his chin and thought for a moment. Just now he was just trying to comfort the lost Marchionne, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
"I have always felt that there are too few forms of entertainment in the wizarding world. Wizards are very distant from each other. After leaving school, even relatives and friends rarely get together."
Marchionne nodded. Although he felt that it was natural for adults to have a sense of distance, he did not refute Wade's words.
Wade continued, "The World Cup can attract 100,000 spectators, the maze game is popular in Hogwarts, and people are chasing after flow mirrors and puppets. In fact, they are all making our lives more interesting."
Magic is very self-sufficient, and most wizards do not have much pressure in life. However, due to the closed nature of the magic world and the habit of wizards to live in isolation, they lack entertainment and communication.
In other words, wizards have abundant material resources but lack spiritual resources, and have very few entertainment and leisure activities, so once something new appears, it will immediately cause a trend.
Ordinary people used to be like this, but when society developed, all kinds of games emerged like mushrooms after rain. With the wisdom of billions of people, I don’t know how many interesting ways to play games have been designed.
Wade asked, "Marchione, have you ever been to a Muggle amusement park?"
Marchionne hesitated and said, "Of course I have been there, but those Ferris wheels, carousels, roller coasters, etc., they don't seem interesting at all."
Flying in the sky on a broomstick can beat 80% of the projects in the amusement park. Wizards may find such places very novel when they go there for the first time, but it is difficult for them to have the interest to experience them many times.
The huge population of Muggles can ensure that their amusement parks have a steady flow of visitors. However, Marchionne has calculated that if he builds an amusement park exclusively for wizards, it will definitely be a money-losing project.
Wade shook his head and said, "This is because those projects that Muggles find exciting are too common for wizards. Wizards' thresholds are too high, so ordinary stimulation is difficult to bring pleasure."
"At this time, we either increase the level of stimulation or reduce the individual's tolerance."
He sorted out his thoughts, thinking of Grindelwald's cat that had threatened him, and said slowly: "Marchione, do you want to try to develop a game called 'Lilliput Adventures'?"
