When William led Dobby into the Ravenclaw Common Room, they found that Cho had already returned to school.

In places where autumn occurs, a strange species called Cedric usually grows there.

William strongly suspected that, aside from sleeping time, Cedric spent most of his free time in the Ravenclaw Common Room.

His love for Ravenclaw was so deep!

"William, I heard you have a Firebolt?" Qiu asked eagerly.

"Yes, who told you that? Oh..." William was surprised for a moment, then immediately said, "Harry told you, didn't he?"

"That's right, how did you know?" Qiu raised her eyebrows in surprise.

William shrugged.

Only a handful of people knew about this, and besides Harry, he couldn't think of anyone else who would specifically seek out Cho to discuss it.

Hermione and Anne are impossible.

Ron?

He'd probably get three legs broken by Harry with Firebolt.

You dare steal my Laozi? I'll kill you!

Great, Harry's improved!

I don't know who gave him the idea, but finally he's not just good at awkward small talk anymore, he knows how to find topics to start a conversation with.

Unfortunately, Cedric acquired Quidditch skills four years ago. In third grade, he was already practicing ball-handling techniques in pairs.

"Harry is definitely here to provoke us!" Cho clenched her fist.

Does he think he can defeat us Ravenclaw just because he has a Firebolt?

snort,

Infatuation!

Delusion!"

"..."

Sigh, this world not only has straight men, but also occasionally straight women.

Harry is so innocent! Maybe he really just came to chat and flirt. Who would have thought that Cho would misunderstand it as a provocation!

There's a significant difference between teasing and provoking.

"Can we use that flying broom before the next competition?" Qiu's eyes gleamed with excitement.

William shook his head.

"Professor McGonagall won't finish her inspection so quickly, but we'll definitely be able to use the new brooms before the finals."

"That's not fair!" Cedric said with a sour face.

"Why are you allowed to use Firebolt? The school should restrict the types of brooms."

Not only are they outmatched in technology, but now even their brooms are being completely crushed. Hufflepuff is in a completely unfavorable situation!

Their goal will become William's backyard; he can score whenever he wants, dribble whenever he wants, sprint whenever he wants, and shoot whenever he wants.

There's no need to worry about the badger cubs' ability to withstand it.

"Stop being sarcastic," William shrugged. "Once Anne joins Gryffindor, they'll have two Firebolt."

"Our current enemy is Gryffindor. Next time you play against them, just knock Harry off his broom."

Or break the Firebolt.

"..."

Cedric sighed, hesitating whether he should buy one too.

Over the years, he has made a lot of money from Akali's Mystery Shop.

The problem is that his money was either reinvested to expand production or used to buy materials for making wands.

Otherwise, it can be kept by his father and used for his marriage later.

That's really messed up.

The most embarrassing thing for a man is having pockets that are emptier than his face.

Cedric decided to start saving some money on his own from now on.

"Why did you bring a House-elf?" Qiu asked curiously, looking behind William.

"It's Dobby, my new employee," William grinned.

"Employees?" Cedric exclaimed in surprise. "Do we need employees?"

"Of course we need it, we really need it!" William said seriously.

"We should squeeze the market and expand our business," William said, waving his hand dismissively.

"We're going to build a Akali's Mystery Conglomerate spanning from the British Isles to the European Peninsula!"

That night, after the banquet, a round-table conference room appeared Room of Requirement.

In addition to William, Hermione, Cedric, and Cho, the twins were also present at the meeting.

As for Anne, she was not notified.

To this day, she is unaware that she is actually a shareholder of Akali's Mystery Shop.

When this store was first established, none of us had much money.

I used my pocket money to buy some raw materials.

William tricked Anne out of all the pocket money she had saved up over the years and invested it in the shop in her name.

Of course, that money was far from enough.

The key point is that after William received the Order of Merlin, the Ministry of Magic gave him two thousand Galleon. This was the real injection of funds.

Otherwise, Akali's Mystery Shop would be impossible to develop in the early game.

Over the years, Anne's share of the profits was deposited into a vault.

The vault key is with Hermione. It will be returned to her when she comes of age.

So Anne is actually a hidden millionaire, she just doesn't know it.

After the meeting began, William, as the initiator, stood up and introduced himself to everyone.

"The current transportation methods in the Wizarding World are far too outdated."

"Using owls to deliver things is inefficient, costly, and provides a poor user experience."

Many items you purchase may take three to five days, or even a week, to be shipped!

"Now, if there were a logistics method where you place an order and it can be delivered in an hour, would you choose it?" William looked around.

Everyone nodded.

Given the same item, they would definitely choose the seller with faster delivery.

"That's right!" William placed his hands on the table.

Traditional logistics methods are no longer suitable for the development of the Wizarding World.

We are standing at the forefront of this era, and we must seize the opportunity to establish a brand-new logistics company and completely eliminate Owl Logistics!

I've decided... to hire House-elf... to deliver packages.

House-elf possess exceptional Apparition abilities, far surpassing those of owls.

He's a natural-born deliveryman!

If William had House-elf delivering packages in his past life, the "computer parts" he bought on Singles' Day wouldn't have perished in a car accident and fire.

He no longer needs to wait anxiously for the delivery guy every day, like he's waiting for his girlfriend!

"But... where do we find so many House-elf?" Fred said.

"Of course we have it." William snapped his fingers.

Dobby was in the corner, stood up and said in a trembling voice, "House-elf who are abandoned by their owners usually have a hard time finding work."

I only know about twenty House-elf who, like me, can't find jobs.

House-elf have a long lifespan, reaching up to two hundred years. Many more are driven from their homes and become House-elf.

"We can hire these House-elf to deliver packages for Akali's Mystery Shop," William said.

Logistics and goods have always been two inseparable things.

High shipping efficiency naturally leads to more sales; this is a very simple principle.

Akali's Mystery Shop offers excellent "one-hour delivery service".

Unwittingly, they seize a large market share, creating a mutually influential cycle.

Once the scale expands, like Hogwarts, by hiring two or three hundred House-elf, the delivery business can be expanded to deliver goods to other stores!

At that time, they will completely phase out the old owls, control the logistics of the entire United Kingdom Wizarding World, and form a monopoly.

Even... because of this fast logistics, it directly impacts the real economy, allowing people to enjoy convenient services by ordering from home without having to go to Diagon Alley!

This is change!

I fear that one day, when William is interviewed by The Daily Prophet, he too will sigh and say:

"The biggest mistake I ever made was creating Akali's Mystery Shop."

I never expected this would change my life; I had only ever wanted to start a small shop.

However, it has become such a huge... international monopoly giant!
