Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

During his long career as the chief editor of Quibbler, Xenophilius Lovegood understood the simplest truth: the most absurd things in the world are usually cloaked in the most ordinary clothes.

Even if the little girl in front of him was ten times cuter, he would not be blinded by this false appearance.

Whether it's Veela, shapeshifters, or even sirens and sirens, there are too many such terrifying creatures in the magical world that look beautiful but are actually full of murderous intent. Elena's cute tone will only make the wizard more wary. stand up.

"to join you guys"

Xenophilius Lovegood asked cautiously, his eyes involuntarily staying on the left hands held by Elena and Luna, "Who do you mean, except Professor Dumbledore and Professor Dumbledore?" outside you”

"You will know, at some appropriate time in the future."

Realizing the vigilance in Xenophilius' heart, Elena put away the innocent smile on her face, and her tone suddenly became cold. She looked at the middle-aged wizard quietly with her lake-blue eyes, and a hint of teasing appeared on the corner of her mouth. .

"After all, after today, you should probably understand that knowing too many secrets is sometimes not a good thing. In other words, are you ready to face the truth again?"

"No," Xenophilius looked around at the scene around him, swallowed, and gradually felt a sense of fear in his heart, "No, I just mentioned it casually, but I am just the editor of a niche publication, maybe I can’t do much for you, maybe”

"Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing. It's just adding some fixed layouts and expanding the sales scope. Generally speaking, it is a good thing for the future development of the naysayers. At least the most direct benefit is that Hogwarts will be This publication is funded.”

Elena glanced at Dumbledore, who was standing nearby and silently watching, and simply began to control the direction of the entire topic.

After all, whether it is investment in public opinion positions or future strategic planning, these are not Albus Dumbledore's strengths.To be precise, due to the population size, the entire magic world is quite blank in this aspect.

Therefore, Elena, who has experienced countless self-media and social baptisms in the future era of information explosion, is almost [-]% sure that she can build the Quibbler into the top publication in the magic world.

"As for the amount of the first capital injection, let's be a little conservative first."

Elena thought thoughtfully and waved her hands happily.

"Well, let's temporarily allocate [-] gold galleons as start-up capital. We must seize the market as soon as possible."

Twenty thousand gold galleons

Xenophilius Lovegood's knees weakened and he almost fell to the ground covered with gold coins.

You know, the profit of a Quibbler is only 2 Copper Nuts. To earn back ten thousand gold galleons, you need to sell at least several million copies of the Quibbler. And according to Elena, this seems to be conservative. a little

"In fact, I think they may already be a little strapped."

Glancing at the middle-aged wizard who was in a trance, and Dumbledore who was hesitant to speak, Elena raised her eyebrows and started to explain in front of everyone in an orderly manner.

"First of all, three thousand of it will be used for printing costs to ensure that more than [-] copies of each issue can be printed in the first month, and then seven thousand gold galleons will be used to pay for advertising and benefit fees. This group of naysayers will Attached to all major publications and mailed to every wizarding home."

According to Elena's predetermined strategy, the first few issues of Quibbler will be completely free, and the names of all contributors and sole sponsors will be published, as well as detailed subscription methods in the future.

The biggest expense is to open up as many channels as possible to other publications in the entire magical world, and use the naysayers as "gifts" in a semi-forced, semi-interest exchange form to cover the vast majority of the magical world as soon as possible. Some families.

Under the triple offensive of "Give me a face" by King Gallon, the Ministry of Magic, and Dumbledore, except for a few stubborn publications, most people will definitely make the right choice to buy one and get one free. This is all Human beings’ favorite business.

Elena paused for a moment and continued.

"Immediately, open up an area for soliciting papers and requesting contributions, and use the remaining [-] gold galleons to pay and reward those high-quality submissions."

“People contribute to The Quibbler and never ask for anything in return, we do”

Xenophilius Lovegood subconsciously retorted, with pride and stubbornness on his face.

"You are so naive for love and ideals."

Elena curled her lips and said unceremoniously.

"Sorry, Mr. Lovegood, not everyone can survive on pure dreams, even you. Not only the magazine itself, but also the writers need to grow a little by getting royalties. Playing devil's advocate If you want to grow healthily, you must have a group of loyal content producers.”

"But I think" Xenophilius Lovegood's tone was slightly weaker and he tried to defend himself.

You know, that's a total of ten thousand gold galleons, all of which are used for submissions and rewards. It's too exaggerated anyway.

"I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it. Perhaps I need to remind you again that this amount of money is invested by Hogwarts and is not left to your discretion."

Elena shook her hand, interrupted Xenophilius's voice, and said in a tone that could not be criticized.

"What's more, judging from the current situation, the business model of naysayers is indeed too bad. It is definitely not a healthy situation to rely solely on free submissions and self-produced articles to support a publication."

Once it comes to the economic field, Elena unconsciously enters the inhumane and matter-of-fact state of her previous life. Her position as a naysayer is not just a simple vocal position.

Judging from the experience and results of later generations, in today's magical world where the self-media and entertainment industries are extremely scarce and irregular, what is truly valuable is never simple paid income flow and people's hearts. It is the most important existence in the future.

Not to mention, if possible, Elena even plans to use the naysayer as a springboard in the future to gradually penetrate into the non-magical world, such as publishing an additional publication for non-magical users.

"Finally, the current content on the Quibbler is still a little boring and not so closely related to real life. In addition to caring about news and anecdotes, I think there is still a huge gap in the wizarding world. And I The section to be added is to seize this position in advance, which will also be one of our main directions in the future."

Elena paused again, licked her lips, and said with shining eyes.

"The food section, or the cooking teaching and display section. As for the materials, I am honored to invite your family to enjoy today's lunch at Hogwarts. Believe me, you will soon discover the beauty of food."

You know, the illustrations and photos in the magical world can move.
