Su Yu waved his hand and pointed to Timo at his feet, saying, "No, no, no, I came here today to have a few suits made for him."
Timo seemed a little shy, half of his body hiding behind Su Yu's legs. When the fat lady saw him, she instinctively covered her mouth and said incredulously:
"Oh my goodness, Professor Su, you mean you're going to have a dress custom-made for a house-elf? Are you going to give him his freedom?"
Su Yu waved his hand: "No, no, no, Teemo is already a free little sprite. His master has passed away."
"Oh, what a poor little fellow. Come here, let me take your measurements." The plump lady moved with great skill and quickly got Timo's measurements.
After paying the deposit, Su Yu took Timo back to the shop. At this time, Lu Ping was following Su Yu's instructions to cast a Seamless Stretch Charm on one of the rooms. This place would later become the factory for the magic phone.
Seeing that Lu Ping wasn't very efficient on his own, Su Yu and Timo joined in, and soon expanded the room to about 200 square meters.
Su Yu then moved all the parts of the integrated semi-automatic casting press he had made out and assembled them in the factory.
There are three types of casting presses: those for making screen display modules, those for making magic storage and information transmission and reception modules, and those for making information analysis modules.
There are nine machines in total, three production lines, and they are very easy to operate. First, input magic power, put the first raw material into the machine, and when the green light comes on, put in the second material, and so on.
Finally, there is an assembly station where all the parts produced by the three machines are assembled, and the magic phone is complete.
Su Yu personally demonstrated it to Lu Ping. The whole process took about three hours. If four workers operated it at the same time, the time could theoretically be reduced to one hour.
In other words, Su Yu's factory currently needs to hire at least 10 workers. With an 8-hour workday, it can produce 24 Magic Phones per day at full efficiency.
It seemed inefficient, but it was already more than a hundred times faster than Su Yu had previously done it by hand. So Su Yu gave the instructions:
"Remus, what you need to do next is to recruit enough workers, preferably in two shifts, producing for 16 hours a day, and build up the inventory to 1000 units."
"So many, if I may be so bold, even though I'm very optimistic about the market for magic phones, I don't think the initial sales will be very high," Lupin said hesitantly.
Su Yu patted Lupin on the shoulder and laughed, "Remus, don't worry, our customers aren't just in Britain. I've had some connections and sales networks in the US for many years."
After the equipment was debugged, Su Yu looked at the little elf Teemo and said:
"Teemo, since you haven't found a new owner yet, why don't you work in my factory for now? I'll give you 10 Galleons a week, and you'll be responsible for ensuring the factory's security and continuing to guard this house. How about that?"
"Is it really possible, Teemo?" The little guy was moved again, his big, watery eyes glistening with tears.
"Of course, it's settled then!" Su Yu readily agreed.
Teemo retorted, "No, that won't do. Teemo only needs one Galleon per week."
"Whatever you want, whatever makes you happy!" Su Yu didn't dwell on it. Keeping house-elves as pets is truly a capitalist's dream.
He returned to Hogwarts after 10 p.m., and during that time he sent a message to Tonks to tell her that he would be back later.
When she returned to the office, Tonks was sitting on the sofa reading a book, holding Coal Ball in her arms. She didn't know what method she had used to get Coal Ball to accept her so quickly.
Seeing Su Yu return, Tonks, like a wife, helped him take off his robe and said, "I left you some food, but it's cold now. I'll have Jingjing heat it up."
Suddenly, Su Yu felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to the days before he transmigrated, when he lived with his girlfriend in a rented apartment.
"Okay!" Su Yu smiled happily.
While eating, Su Yu recounted everything that had happened that day to Tonks. When she heard that Timo had been silently guarding her in the basement for thirty years, she couldn't help but be moved.
"Are you going to Hogsmeade Village again tomorrow?" Tonks asked.
"Of course, I have to pick up Teemo's clothes tomorrow and also give an interview to the Daily Prophet, but I'll be back for class in the afternoon," Su Yu said.
"Can I come with you?" Tonks blinked her big, beautiful eyes and asked pitifully.
"of course can!"
The next morning, Su Yu brought Tonks to Hogsmeade Village and went to Madam Malkin's shop to pick up five sets of clothes that had been urgently ordered.
The five outfits are divided into two styles. The first is a white shirt, a red plaid vest, and a black suit, a typical British butler's suit.
The second item is the green jungle adventure outfit, which is entirely due to Su Yu's quirky sense of humor, after all, his name is Timo.
After dressing up Little Teemo, the little guy instantly transformed from a homeless person into a handsome young man (according to the aesthetics of house-elves). I can introduce Jingjing to him later; who knows, it might even spark a romance.
Timo stood in front of the mirror, looking left and right, unable to believe it was her. She looked at Su Yu, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Don't get your new clothes dirty. And these few sets, you can put them away too. You can change into them as you like. Get ready, the reporter from the Daily Prophet will be here soon," Su Yu said.
Timo finally stopped crying, put the other clothes back in her room, and followed Su Yu to the lobby where the shop was located.
The sign outside was already up, reading "Feiyu Magic Mobile Phone Experience Store," with a logo that was a colorful black feather.
Some might laugh, wondering how something so colorful can also be black? But if you put a crow's feather in the sun, you'll see what a colorful black truly is.
A moment later, the shop door was pushed open, and a woman walked in. She had golden curly hair and wore glasses.
She was wearing a green silk dress that looked somewhat similar to a Chinese cheongsam. Overall, this woman was quite attractive, but her expression was very arrogant. She was Rita Skeeter.
Behind her was her personal photographer, whose flash went off as soon as she entered, capturing the scene of Su Yu and the others chatting.
Litskett critically examined the room's decor and said, "You're the ones who invited me here? It's hard to imagine what's so newsworthy about this shabby little place. Go ahead and tell me, I hope your story really does attract attention."
This woman was naturally invited by Su Yu, partly because her writing was indeed sharp and her work was very eye-catching.
On the other hand, this is because the woman is easy to manipulate. She has a fatal weakness: she has concealed her Animagus identity, which is a serious violation of the law in the British wizarding world.
Su Yu stepped forward and said, "Hello, Miss Rita Skeeter, I am Su Yu, Professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts. This is my friend Tonks, and Timo."
"Oh, Muggle Studies? Does Hogwarts still offer this course? I thought it had been canceled a long time ago. You must be quite free, since Muggles don't really have much to study."
"Tonks, I've heard of you, the new Auror this year, the natural-born Disguise Magus, what are you doing here?"
"Ah! I know! You must have fallen in love with this handsome but mediocre Muggle Studies professor, so you gave up your Auror job and used your hard-earned money to open this shop for him!"
"Oh, that's a touching story, Bob. Did you get a picture of the store's name just now?"
"Got it, miss!"
Su Yu and Tonks' eyelids twitched simultaneously. If Snape's mouth was poisoned, then Rita Skeeter's mouth was probably laced with Wang Zhihe's stinky tofu juice.
Just as Su Yu was about to speak, Rita Skeeter appeared again: "Oh wait, what did you just say? You said this house-elf carries... a lantern? Is he your friend?"
"Oh my god, poor Muggle Studies professor, because of his low status at school, is ostracized by students and other teachers and can't make friends, so he can only befriend a house-elf."
"This is terrible. It's a flaw in the Hogwarts education system, a reflection of the quality of Hogwarts teachers, and a lack of empathy among Hogwarts students."
"The Ministry of Education must take the mental state of Hogwarts students and teachers seriously. Yes, this is Dumbledore's dereliction of duty. Even though he is the greatest wizard of this century, he still cannot be all-encompassing."
“That’s a great story. Let’s call it ‘Hogwarts Professor’s Mental State Is in Disarray, Dumbledore Is Partly to Blame.’ It’s sure to grab everyone’s attention. Bob, take another picture of the professor and his elf friend.”
Chapter 39 Mouthpiece
"Shut up!" Su Yu couldn't stand Rita Skeeter's increasingly outrageous nonsense anymore and shouted angrily.
Clitas Kitts, however, became even more excited and continued, "Oh, it seems this professor is not as mediocre as we thought. After the reporter discovered his secret, he made personal threats against the reporter."
Su Yu was so angry he laughed, a smirk playing on his lips: "A personal threat, is that it? I'll show you what a personal threat really is!"
After saying that, Su Yu quickly stepped forward, and Tonks couldn't stop him. Rita Skeeter, seeing this, kept backing away, but her expression was very tough, and she shouted:
“Bob, take pictures, take pictures of everything. If I die, send this guy to Azkaban.”
Bob kept pressing the shutter button, the flash going off and off, but Su Yu didn't even look at it. He moved forward step by step, while Rita Skeeter moved backward step by step.
Rita Skeeter panicked when she was backed against the wall with no room to maneuver. She frantically pulled out her wand, ready to cast a small curse on Su Yu.
Su Yu had his wand ready, and with a flick of his wrist, he cast a small disarming spell, knocking Rita Skeeter's wand away and sending her flying, pinning her against the wall.
Then Su Yu leaned forward, grabbed Rita Skeeter's hair, and leaned in close to her ear.
In all her years in the business, Rita Skeeter had never seen such a daring madman. Forcing herself to remain calm, she shouted, "You...you...what do you want to do? If you dare touch me, the Aurors will really send you to Azkaban!"
Su Yu chuckled dismissively and whispered, "Azkaban? I wonder if an unregistered Animagus needs to go to Azkaban?"
Rita Skeeter's struggling body froze instantly. She looked at Su Yu in disbelief, wondering if he was bluffing her.
Su Yu seemed to see through her thoughts and continued, "A beetle, that's quite something. I wonder how many secrets you've uncovered while infiltrating the homes of pure-blooded nobles. If it were exposed, do you think you'd have a chance to enter Azkaban?"
"I...I...I...What do you want?" Rita Skeeter completely chickened out and asked.
Su Yu released her and said, "Stop talking nonsense and ask me the questions I said. This Timo is from thirty years ago..."
Su Yu gave a general account of Timo's story, and then had Rita Skeeter conduct an exclusive interview with Timo. This time, she was much more honest, and every question she asked was quite professional.
This matter itself is inherently explosive, after all, thirty years ago, Anthony's Wand Shop was a wand shop that could rival Ollivanders, and many people used their wands.
The subsequent wand explosions and wand backlashes caused quite a stir at the time, with many wizards being victims. Once these incidents were exposed, these people naturally became the focus of attention.
While watching the interview, Tonks quietly asked Su Yu, "What did you say to her just now? Why did her attitude change so much?"
"It's a secret!" Su Yu smiled mysteriously.
"Hmph! Fine, don't tell me then!" Tonks pouted, crossed her arms, and looked like a wronged child, which was quite cute.
“You also have an Auror identity. I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to put you in a difficult position,” Su Yu explained again.
Tonks suddenly realized: "So this guy has a criminal record?"
Su Yu: "It's nothing serious, just spying and stuff. It's unavoidable for the sake of the news."
Tonks knew that Su Yu definitely hadn't finished speaking, but she didn't press him further. The two of them watched the entire interview together from the side.
Timo performed quite well. He was a little nervous at first, but as he spoke, his emotions rose, and he spoke with great feeling. When he mentioned Su Yu, he was moved to tears, and his gratitude towards Su Yu was like a surging river, endless and boundless.
As Rita Skeeter was about to leave after the interview, Su Yu stopped her again and gave her a detailed explanation of the magic phone's functions and usage.
This was something Su Yu had planned long ago; half of the interview would be about Timo.
The other half will feature Rita Skeeter's unexpected discovery of a magical artifact, which will also introduce the Magic Phone and the Feather Magic Phone Experience Store to all readers.
In this way, the Feather Magic Phone can become familiar to all wizards in the British magical world even before it is launched on the market.
Su Yu wasn't stingy either, giving Rita Skeeter a magic phone and saying, "You're a smart person, you should be able to see the potential of this product, right?"
Rita Skeeter became much more obedient at this point, nodding and saying, "Of course, Professor Su, this will definitely be a groundbreaking product."
Su Yu wasn't interested in her praise. He continued, "Once enough people in the British wizarding world own a magic phone, I will launch a new feature on it."
To be honest, Rita Skeeter wasn't particularly interested in any of the new features. What she liked most was the Magic Phone's photo and video recording capabilities. With that, she could take pictures anytime, anywhere.
Maintaining a facade of respect, her mind had already wandered far away, which Su Yu naturally noticed. He said unhurriedly:
"That will be a completely new newspaper, just like you just used Fetion. You just need to tap the icon and all the news will appear inside. When wizards all have magical phones, do you think they'll read the Daily Prophet more or my new newspaper?"
Rita Skeeter snapped out of her reverie and mentally rehearsed the situation: if wizards could access the news with the flick of their fingers, who would still buy the Daily Prophet?
Su Yu didn't say anything more, patted Rita Skeeter on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, and I'll ask you to be in charge of this new newspaper!"
