Hogwarts Scholar System

"What is this?" Hermione asked.

"This is an invitation from Emily. She wants to invite me to the celebration banquet of the Light of Hope Company." Maple said, then stretched out her hand to make an invitation gesture, and said to Hermione: "Can I invite this beautiful Will Miss Granger come with me to this ball?"

"It's an honor!" Hermione took Maple's hand and happily agreed.

Maple was so busy dealing with Basilisk and Claire in the magical world that was isolated from the secular world that his information about the Muggle world was lagging behind.He did not expect that in just two years, he had just started a company called Light of Hope, and it had developed from scratch into a small giant company.

But it’s no wonder. This is still an era before the decline of arcades. The peaceful background allows the entertainment industry and the game industry to develop rapidly. It is rare for such a hot product to appear on the market, and it can easily get a warm response from the market.

Maple just took advantage of the foresight. If it had been another ten years later, in the 21st century, when computers began to enter households and the PC game industry began to enter a period of vigorous development, Maple's ray of hope company would have been as prosperous as it is now. Improbable.

The Muggle world is different from the closed wizarding world. In the context of gradual globalization, Light of Hope can quickly make its name in Europe after selling its products in the UK, and then spread its sales lines to the entire Europe, and even the whole country. world.

After Maple dealt with the first batch of troubles encountered by the Ray of Hope Company, Emily and the others also bought some newspapers and media companies under Maple's prompting as the company's mouthpiece, and also used the company's first group to study law. College students have established their own legal department with the backbone.

At the same time, we took the lead in proposing charitable causes that were not very popular among the rich at this time and carried them out on a large scale. On the one hand, they attracted enough attention to increase the company's influence, and on the other hand, they gave the public a favorable image in public opinion.

Although in a few decades, the middle and lower-class people in these countries in Europe and the United States will not be able to get the real rights to so-called democracy and freedom.But the number of people is huge. As long as it can trigger enough responses among the people and create strong enough pressure from public opinion, the Light of Hope Company, which does not have enough assistance from the government departments, will be able to counterattack government officials who want to take advantage. .

However, although under Maple's prompting, they did not ask Maple for help this year, Emily and the others also perfectly solved a series of troubles encountered by the Light of Hope Company.However, in the process of rapid development, various problems began to be exposed within Light of Hope.

Rapid growth has led to a shortage of talent in the company, and the number of good and bad personnel absorbed has begun to emerge, and internal struggles for power within the company have begun.

But Maple didn't intend to help. Maple, who was just a little loser in her previous life, wasn't very good at these things either.

All Maple knows is simple and crude one-size-fits-all methods. As long as there is no problem with Emily whom Maple approves of, he will let them handle it themselves.

What's rare about Emily is that there are several management members who came from the bottom who have not forgotten the original intention, have not abandoned the orphans in the orphanage after getting rich, and have not forgotten Maple's proposal of the Ray of Hope University that does not set barriers for the poor.

In this case, Maple naturally did not allow the latecomers to occupy the magpie's nest, drove Emily and the others away, ruined the company, and wasted Maple's hard work.

After receiving the invitation letter from Emily in person, Maple immediately felt relieved. It seemed that she was still in control of everything in the company, and there were no problems that were serious enough to get out of control.

After reading the letter sent by Emily along with the invitation, Maple learned that this time the company's game was cooperating with an animation company to produce an animation adapted from the game. The banquet where Maple received the invitation was two The celebration banquet after the cooperation between the two companies was reached.

Maple feels that today's Ray of Hope Company is very much like the later Du Niang. The company's current cash flow should be extremely abundant, but if it is immersed in its current achievements, Ray of Hope is also likely to follow in Du Niang's footsteps.

Money in the secular world doesn't mean much to Maple, so as an outsider, Maple can always stay awake, but I don't know if Emily and the others can do it.

Maple didn't know if Emily and the others had always maintained a sense of crisis. If not, Maple felt it was necessary to remind them.

The model of lying down and collecting money cannot last long. If you live in a state of drunkenness and dreaminess, it will become silent and eventually be forgotten by the industry.

Today's Light of Hope University has just been established, and some of the philanthropic school-running models will continue to lose money and swallow up countless amounts of money in the foreseeable future, but Maple does not want it to give up halfway.Maple can feel that when her dream comes true, Light of Hope University will really be established and continue as she originally envisioned. The countless sense of accomplishment gained from it will continue to sublimate Maple's soul in the future.

Therefore, as the Ray of Hope Company that supports Ray of Hope University’s main funds, Maple will never allow it to fail.

The company is currently supported by only one product. Once the product's popularity wears off, the company may begin to lose momentum.On the one hand, Maple felt that Emily should be reminded to let the company start developing new works after the current card game is on track.

On the other hand, the company can improve the ecology around its products. Just like Alibaba, the new technologies developed when improving its product ecology will also become the company's new products.

PC games are obviously more comfortable to play than offline games. The company can naturally start investing in researching home computer and server technology. In this day and age, if Emily and the others invest money now, they may be able to win in the hands of the world's richest man in the future. Get the upper hand.

"It's great that Mr. Weasley won the Daily Prophet's jackpot!" Maple said.

"Yes, I heard from Ron that Mr. Weasley is planning to take his family on a trip to Egypt." Hermione lowered her head and continued to read the Daily Prophet.

After Ron's father won the lottery, Hermione noticed the Daily Prophet, the only newspaper in the wizarding world. Then Hermione began to order the Daily Prophet, a newspaper that understood the latest developments in the British wizarding world, and she had never read it before. Previous issues of the newspaper were also ordered.

"That's just right. We can also travel abroad with our uncle and aunt, after we attend the banquet invited by Emily. Which country do you think we should go to?" Maple remembered that the Ron family went to Egypt in the original time and space. At the same time, Hermione went to France with her parents. Maple thought it would be nice to go out for a walk with Hermione once in a while. Just staying in England was a bit too boring.

"Okay, let's go to France!" Hermione said, and she didn't mention going to Egypt to be with Ron. After all, it was a party for the Weasley family, and she and Maple still couldn't disturb it.

"Okay, I'll go tell my uncle and aunt." Maple said. Not long after Maple left, Hermione soon heard her father's hearty laughter coming from the living room.

Hermione was also very happy after feeling that Maple was getting along well with her parents, but when she lowered her head to look at the newspaper in her hand, her smile stopped abruptly.

"Rita Skeeter!" Hermione frowned at the name.

After flipping through the previous issues of the Daily Prophet, Hermione quickly came across the report about the Hogwarts Unicorn Incident written by Rita Skeeter.Hermione flipped through the front and back of the newspaper, but she didn't find any information about her and Maple's successful unicorn contract.

Throughout the pages of the newspaper, Rita Skeeter mentioned only one name, Harry Potter.

Harry was a good friend of Hermione's, and Hermione wouldn't be offended if Rita Skeeter wrote a good report about Harry.Rita Skeeter only used a few words on serious things, such as Harry's wonderful Patronus Charm at the Unicorn Contract Gala, and spent a lot of space on arranging Harry's daily life.A good documentary report was suddenly written into a gossip weekly. Such a report was actually published in the Daily Prophet and given such a large space. It really made people who originally had great expectations for the Daily Prophet Hermione was immediately disappointed with the newspaper.

Then after flipping through another newspaper, Hermione's frown deepened.

In Hogwarts, Hermione had no idea about the Unicorn Pact event held by the Ministry of Magic outside the school.

She never expected that in a contract event organized by the Ministry of Magic, only one person would succeed in making a contract.

Having been immersed in peace for too long, the magic world's combat power has become surprisingly weak.The reason why the unicorns agreed to the contract between Dumbledore and the wizard was to seek the protection of the wizard. Naturally, they would not agree to the contract when they encountered weak chickens with insufficient strength.

However, people from pure-blood families with good strength are all dark wizards, and unicorns will not recognize them.This resulted in the fact that except for some wizards who did not participate, the Ministry of Magic only successfully contracted one unicorn, which was worse than the students of Hogwarts. The Ministry of Magic was really embarrassed.

The Ministry of Magic does not want the truth about the unicorn incident in Hogwarts to be known to the public. Rita Skeeter's article was just in time and became a good fig leaf for the Ministry of Magic.

The Daily Prophet still has a wide audience. Although it has powerful magic power that is unmatched by secular people, the speed of information transmission in the magical world is still not as fast as that of the Muggle world. This is why the Ministry of Magic, which controls the lifeblood of the Daily Prophet, This ostrich posture fooled many people in the magic world.

Comparing the two articles, the smart Hermione seemed to understand the details inside, but she didn't like the Ministry of Magic's attitude very much.

Harry's birthday is coming soon, because with Maple's help, Dursley's company has reached several cooperation projects with the Ray of Hope Company.

Because of this relationship, the Dursleys now have a very good attitude towards Harry. They didn't even lock up Harry's wand, magic book and broomstick when Harry came home for the holidays.

Maple planned to help Harry again before going to France with Hermione and ask Emily to give Dursley another project, so that Dursley would directly agree to sign Harry's Hogsmeade application form. , As for whether Harry would inflate his aunt, Maple didn't intend to care.
