Chapter 32 loser, learn to spend money
Teach a group of middle-aged teenagers to master the black magic defense skills, Kane is actually not very interested in this.
Lupin was a little excited to hear that he might also be a professor at Hogwarts.
When he saw the employee benefits of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce, he was very excited and very excited.
He was assigned a house, right in Hogsmeade Village.
Kane said that this is called multi-use for one room, which is both a welfare, a rope, and an advertisement.
Lupin knew the concept of advertising, but he just didn't know why the house became an advertisement.
"One of the new businesses of the Chamber of Commerce is to build and sell houses. All the houses assigned by employees are equivalent to displaying models."
Only then did Lupin realize that the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce was also building houses.
In fact, it is not only a big sale, but also a whole set, and it is also apart. It is really like a model, combining it at will, or selecting a certain functional part at will.
But if you really need to be specific, it doesn’t matter. It’s common in Muggle society. The main difference is that it has been magically processed.
Therefore, the appearance of Lupin is quite normal, with two floors and a pointed attic.
Given the overall style of Hogsmeade's house, the roof is covered with magic thatch instead of bricks and tiles.
Kane told Lupin that it was only temporary, and that it really belonged to him, on the hillside north of the village, Fir Villa, where.
Lupin had noticed before that there was a large-scale construction project there, and now he realized it was a construction project of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce.
"This has already made me very satisfied."
Lupin was not polite, but in his eyes, this warm little house was really good. There was a lawn in front of it and a small fenced courtyard behind it, but the house was different.
The traceless stretching spell is constant, which makes the interior space of the house very large, with the attic combined with more than 400 square meters of available space. This is not a basement of more than 100 square meters. The small windows viewed from the outside are large windows with good lighting from the inside.
In other aspects, it is really not much different from the houses where ordinary people live, except that kitchen utensils are magical. The furniture is complete, and it is not a wax lighting, but a magic lamp, which can be moved in with your bag.
"It's okay, but in terms of safety, it's still a few points lower than Fir Villa." Kane said, pointing out the most critical settings in this room, energy stone and general control rune stone.
He explained: "The Wizard War has given everyone a high requirement for the safety of the house. The house that is easily destroyed by the Death Eater's flying a few times can no longer meet people's needs."
"The houses launched by the Chamber of Commerce have window gates and door gates. As long as the energy stones are continuously supplied, the protection is excellent. The mysterious man will not be able to break it for a while. If you buy advanced protection, you can even conduct magical counterattacks. If you really can't do it, you can also use the one-way transmission fireplace in the basement to go to the densely populated Muggle bustling land. Of course, if you have the ability, you can set the shelter in the office of the Minister of Magic."
Lupin lamented: "If James and Lily could have such a house."
"Yes, so I have to worry about it. If my nest is not safe and warm enough, I will feel insecure, as if all the results of struggle will be lost at any time."
"Well, I feel the same way, especially those who are wandering like me, who have long wanted to have a stable home. Do you think the houses in Fir Villa are more safe? I can't even imagine what they look like."
"In addition to protecting individual facilities, the entire manor also has overall protection capabilities."
"Tsk, it's comparable to Hogwarts."
"It's better to be safe and safe," Kane said with certainty.
This is really not a bragging, he is the chief designer, and he naturally understands the technical power used by Fir Villa.
However, he did not discuss this issue in depth, which was not in line with his current identity. He changed the topic and said, "So, how many years are you going to sign for a mortgage contract? The longest is twenty years, and the shortest is five years." As he said that, he took out a contract and handed it to Lupin.
Lupin took it, read it very carefully, then calculated it, and said, "I think it will be good for five years."
"In that case, you only have one hundred gold per month available. With bonuses and annuities, it will be very sad to have two hundred on average. Do you really decide to be so sluggish?"
Lupin opened his eyes widened: "Do you think there are more than one hundred Jin Jialong available every month to save money?"
"Ahem!" Kane realized that he was a little confused. With the average consumption level of wizards in this era, more than one hundred Jin Jialong is not small.
Moreover, Flak Irving is also a poor child. His monthly salary has to be divided into part of his mother and support his younger siblings. How can he have such a generous attitude towards money?
"Well, I mean, you must have other needs, such as dating with your girlfriend, strengthening your abilities, etc., is it a bit too late to pay off your mortgage and then fall in love?"
Lupin frowned, feeling that what Kane said made sense. He was thirty years old and was already an older young man. "Then it's ten years. I don't think I'll marry a lady who fell in love with Kim Garon."
"With that being said, you have to change your consumption concept."
"oh?"
Kane first asked Lupin to sign the contract that should be signed, and gave the other party the contract and keys that belonged to Lupin.
Then, using the fireplace in the basement, we went directly to Aberdeen.
Kane led Lupin and introduced as he walked: "This industry belongs to us, and it is a theater that focuses on performing stage plays."
“Stage Theater!?”
"That's right. From the perspective of Muggles, only the explanations of drama actors can help them eliminate their curiosity about most wizards' outfits."
"You mean, the wizards' outfits are alternative to Muggles."
"Very, alternative. Apart from a costume party, cosplay, Halloween or carnival, you're never so alternative."
Kane also said: "Since it's a theater, there are makeup, and there are makeup, including a full set of washing, cutting, and clothing cutters. The Chamber of Commerce has requirements for the staff's outfit. I am performing tasks, not formal wear."
So I first measured the size, then washed, cut and blow. When I came back, the clothes had been cut.
"Need ten sets so many?"
"Actually, six sets are enough, two sets of winter, summer, and spring and autumn clothes, but you have to have casual clothes, right? Your own can only be used as work clothes, or only suitable for special occasions."
"So what's going on with shirts and things like that that doubles on this basis?"
"The etiquette norms that the chamber of commerce needs cannot be solved by cleaning up. This is not just a matter of cleanliness or not. It is not just a matter of cleanliness or not. It is considered that if you don't change your shirt, you will be considered as not home last night, and a man who is not at home will be regarded as rude and lack of credibility at some point."
"Is this diplomatic work I want to do?
"No, but the Chamber of Commerce does not want to affect the Chamber of Commerce's image because any employees are inappropriate in formal occasions."
"Okay, then what's next?"
"Three treasures, watches, tie, collar pin, leather shoes that showcase men's charm and taste."...
Lupin finally realized what consumption concepts need to be changed.
Following Kane, he felt like he was going to be a duck. The money spent was so thrilling, and it was all hard indicators. If he didn't spend it, his annual salary would be wasted after a series of consumption.
"This is already an internal price. The Chamber of Commerce subsidies at least 30%, so there will be no such good opportunity in the future. In general, if you can make money, you must match your consumption capacity and you cannot be as shabby as before. This is not a suggestion, but a regulation."
"This rule is also..."
"Unkind? The boss said that this is exactly part of the corporate culture of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce. We do not cultivate wealth-keeping slaves, but cultivate people who can live and work hard to make money. Only by spending money can we make money, and understand the importance of making money. We can even cultivate a sense of honor, gain a sense of accomplishment, and strengthen centripetal force."
"Look at the dirt-filled people around you, think about who can provide you with a job opportunity like this. Being a successful person, it is not easy to have the at least decent one that a successful man should have. As for how difficult it is, debt and high consumption will always remind you that you need to strive forward, remind you that many people are chasing, and many people are actually not inferior to you, but just lack an opportunity."
"Well, I feel like I've joined a very unusual organization."
"Well, there is a little bit of a conceptual impact. But as the boss said, you will get used to it, including the envy of those people on and off the road looking at you and the eyes that try to get close to you."
Lupin sighed: "I thought our boss had experienced a tragic escape, but now I believe she was actually going to a certain aristocratic college to study."
