The Importance of the Magical Communicator
Vincent got home in the early hours of the morning.
He didn't feel tired at all; on the contrary, he felt particularly energetic.
After taking a cold shower, he returned to his room, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently patted Gu Gu, who was fast asleep with one eye open on the pillow.
Waking up in the middle of the night, Gu Gu jumped onto the small table next to the bedside table with a disgruntled look on her face.
Vincent didn't disturb it again, picked up a notebook and lay down on the bed.
Grindelwald is right; he can completely ignore the rules and order that bind him.
If they get in your way, then break them completely.
While the Magical Communicator is important, it's not indispensable.
Vincent flipped through the notebook page by page, looking back at the many ideas he had recorded during countless flashes of inspiration.
The reason why the magic television station was banned was because it used a modified version of Muggle technology.
However, this method of transmitting messages in real time was too convenient, so the Ministry of Magic ultimately kept the radio separately.
The failure to develop communication devices is definitely due to their interference. Leaders who are used to fooling the public would never want anything beyond their control to emerge.
Running a television station on its own would likely face far greater resistance than Magical Communicator.
Vincent's hand, which was turning the page, suddenly stopped.
The advent of smartphones in the future will virtually eliminate all traditional electronic entertainment devices.
Integrating the Magical Communicator with the functions of a television is not difficult; it can be perfectly implemented with just a simple upgrade.
Specifically, a small receiver is added to receive different television channel signals.
Later on, different parts can even be added to achieve different functions. What smartphones can do, Magical Communicator can do as well.
Communication, photography, social networking, movies, music, games, office work, navigation, shopping, payment, live streaming, short videos...
According to this idea, Magical Communicator would indeed be indispensable.
Three years is too long; we must find a way to shorten it as much as possible.
Vincent is not a god; he cannot truly control everything.
If abandoning the Magical Base Station can accelerate the promotion of Magical Communicator and pave the way, then why persist in clinging to it when it's time to let go?
There just happened to be a major global event in the Wizarding World recently: the Quidditch World Cup, held every four years.
Provide broadcasting services for wizards who cannot be present in person?
The purpose could be to advertise in advance for the overseas expansion of the Alchemy Shop, or even to include the Alchemy Association in the scheme.
With such an excuse, it is indeed possible to complete the deployment of base stations worldwide in an instant.
The Magical Base Station was just bait; the real important thing was the Magical Communicator.
Vincent could use the Alchemy Association as a pretext to share the connection interface of Magical Base Station with the magic governments of various countries.
However, he would secretly leave a control backdoor.
Even if he cannot fully control the technology, he can still achieve a technological monopoly.
In the event of any unforeseen circumstances in the future, control can be regained at any time through the backdoor.
To be even more secure, we could simultaneously carry out the previously planned secret deployment of Magical Base Station.
Now there's a new plan; it remains to be seen whether the Ministry of Magic of various countries will agree to cooperate.
After dawn,
After finishing breakfast, Vincent went out to find Lestrange and Devin.
The two expressed their agreement, but were not optimistic about cooperating with the Ministry of Magic of various countries.
Especially in the Britain, the home country.
Fudge has recently made a comeback, and his old ways have returned.
"Not necessarily." Vincent pulled out his carefully prepared cooperation proposal.
Lestrange and Devin's eyes grew brighter and brighter as they looked.
Broadcasting the Quidditch World Cup is ostensibly a charitable event that benefits the people, and its purpose seems to be simply to reduce obstacles to the overseas expansion of the Alchemy Shop, especially the Alchemy Association, which has remained silent to this day.
All the Ministry of Magic in each country needs to do is take a clear stance, a clear stance of supporting the Alchemy Shop, and they can control the incredibly important signal transmission terminal Magical Base Station.
Vincent smiled as he watched the two of them. "Every gift that fate bestows has already had a price tag attached in secret."
The Magical Base Station is like a bottle of tempting poison, with a glamorous appearance and an addictive, wonderful taste.
Its toxicity does not kill instantly, but rather slowly corrodes the entire body.
When poison is distributed throughout the body, it becomes an inseparable part of the body.
Whether the magical governments of various countries are redeveloping television stations or using them for internal offices, as long as they continue to use the Magical Base Station, Vincent's true objective has already been achieved.
They relinquished overt control of the Magical Base Station in exchange for the immense profits generated by the Magical Communicator over an entire era.
Looking at Vincent, who had a gentle smile on his face, Devin felt a chill run down her spine.
How many people could resist this tempting poison?
While the magical governments of various countries were still gloating over their control of Magical Base Station, the Magical Communicator were already prepared to bare their fangs at any moment.
Magic phone? Magic TV? Magic computer? Magic navigation?
Sorry, we live in the age of mobile internet.
The new plan is good, but Devin still has one last question.
"If most of them only drank a sip of poison, that is, dismantled the Magical Base Station we painstakingly set up after the broadcast, then what should we do?"
Vincent and Lestrange exchanged a smile.
"Devi, your understanding of human nature is still too shallow."
The power of the magical government has always been held by a small number of high-ranking officials.
As members of the elite class, they naturally possess the shortcomings inherent to that class.
Skilled in calculation, prioritizing profit above all else.
If people want to do charity, why would they refuse when it seems like they only need to pay a very small price?
Even knowing it was poison, they were confident enough to discard it before the poison took effect.
Besides, everyone uses it and everyone who uses it says it's good, so there's even less reason to refuse it.
Lestrange patted Devin the shoulder, "We can proceed with the plan to secretly lay down Magical Base Station in the same way. This way, even if the magic governments of various countries turn against us, we can continue to provide services to the holders of Magical Communicator."
Devin shuddered. "Okay, I have no problem with that."
With the Quidditch World Cup starting in less than a month, cooperation agreements with governments around the world need to be reached as soon as possible.
Vincent was in charge of Europe, Lestrange of the Americas, and Devin of Africa. As for Asia ...
Let's wait until Rinne has finished exploring the Britain before making a decision.
The remaining Australians and smaller regions will write to Viktor to put him in charge, but there is something even more important.
Mass production of Magical Base Station.
Even for one-way broadcasting, it would take at least a thousand to barely achieve global coverage.
Therefore, before setting off to lobby the magical governments of various countries, Vincent had to set up automated production lines for the Magical Base Station.
He spent almost the entire day in the Alchemy Factory at the end of Knockturn Alley.
Rita and Chief Editor Gufei are still there, and both are very curious about the new production line.
"It is a groundbreaking and great invention." Vincent squinted at the two of them.
The traditional media industry is about to undergo a major transformation, and it's necessary to give them a heads-up.
Rita felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze. "Mr. Wayne, do you mean this thing will usher in a new era?"
"That's right." Vincent gently touched the Magical Communicator on his wrist.
"Gentlemen, the media industry in the Wizarding World is about to enter a new era. I plan to transform the newly established newspaper into a broadcasting company and operate it in the form of 'new media'."
Rita and Chief Editor Gufei are industry veterans, so they naturally have some understanding of the new media popular among Muggle.
However, the image projected by the Magical Communicator showed a more advanced form.
Through the global network built by Magical Base Station, globalized media that transcends geographical boundaries has finally become a reality.
A single country's government censorship will no longer be fatal; once a giant in the new media industry is established, it can easily influence, or even manipulate, global public opinion.
