Chapter 327 The Secret Secret

The three of them stood at the intersection of a busy commercial street.

They had just come out of a clothing store and the twins changed into dark blue casual suits and jeans, looking at each other's new look and pointing fingers.

"The clerk almost touched the wand I was not behind my waist." Fred said with lingering fear.

Felix called a taxi, "Go to Chaling Cross first, then to Sam Precision Machinery." He said to the driver, then looked at the twins, "We are going to pick up Professor Lupin, and he is with us."

The taxi driver had the slouching look that was unique to the early morning, and lazily walked through the streets and alleys, "There is Chaling Cross in front. Where are you going to stop?"

"Go ahead a little further and stop next to the record store in front."

The driver glanced at him, "Come on business?"

"Absolutely," Felix twisted a glowing coin. The driver shook his head, feeling dazzled. The car stopped aside, and he said vigilantly: "It is time to wait on the roadside."

"You are indispensable." Felix said carelessly.

Not long after, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared next to the record store, as if he was there at the beginning, Fred rolled down the window and waved at him, "Professor Lupin, here!"

Lupin walked over with a smile and got into the car, "I didn't expect you to come in this way."

"How is the recruitment?" Felix asked, and he then explained: "It's more convenient to take a bus, but I actually want to rent a car."

Lupin glared at him, "Now you think of asking? You said you wanted to help, but it disappeared for a week."

Felix shrugged: "I went to Albania."

Lupin's face became serious. He heard Sirius say that Voldemort once entrenched in the Albanian forest. He looked carefully at the twins who were pricking their ears and asked vaguely: "Have you found anything?"

"It's not what you think," Felix said. "I wanted to find an old friend's former residence, but unfortunately it was too old and there was only a broken ruin."

I heard that Felix was not searching for Voldemort's traces, but Lupin didn't care much. He talked about the company's situation: "The candidates have all been interviewed. According to your requirements, I will recruit 37 people--"

"Does anyone I know?"

"The six people you recommend are all good abilities. In addition, not counting Krivat, there are three who are newly graduated this year..."

After about half an hour, the car was parked in front of a factory.

Felix paid the fare and took them to the door. After reporting their names in the guard room, a few minutes later, a middle-aged man trotted over.

"Is it Mr. Hepp?" the man said enthusiastically, "I am the director of Sam Precision Machinery, Hobot Nath, we were on the phone before." The twins squeezed their eyes at each other and made lip shapes: Nath.

Felix did not respond to this surname with special significance in the magic world. He naturally introduced his expression: "This is Remus Lupin, the general manager of Future World Company, these two..." He looked at the twins who straightened their chests, "They were visiting, well, holiday social practice."

"No problem, welcome! Welcome!" Hobot said hurriedly.

On the way to the factory, Lupin asked in a low voice: "How did he know the future world? Did you tell him?"

"I registered a shell company with the same name with the British government." Felix said with a smile.

"Is this necessary? It seems very troublesome..." Lupin asked in confusion.

"It's not a problem, I just discovered an interesting fact." He whispered to Lupin.

"What did you say!" Lupin's eyes widened in disbelief, and the twins and the Hobot supervisor looked over. He smiled apologetically, and then whispered: "What you said is true, is there anyone in the magic world reselling gold and silver utensils?"

"Not new," Felix said: "There are always smart people who bought some silverware from ancient families and sold it to folk collectors in the non-magic world. Imagine that silverware made by fairies can repel dust, but has a unique sense of historical weight."

"Are they not afraid of being discovered by the Ministry of Magic?"

Felix smiled: "The law in this regard is blank, and, guess who is the person who does these things, is just a few little thieves? Although they do it very secretly, everything has traces."

Luping felt a storm in his heart, and he felt that his understanding of the magic world had been subverted.

"Pure-blood family?" He kept thinking, "No, I remember that many families have declined, perhaps part of them, and they have been maintaining this secret!"

Several families' names flashed through his mind. Some families have not had a long history, but have become very rich in just a few decades.

Lupin said hesitantly: "But Gringot stipulates that there is a limit on the exchange of pounds on Gallon."

Felix said casually: "In the black market, bartering is not a problem. Pure gold and sterling silver are also valuable in the magic world. The profit of replacing the goods is at least dozens of times."

Before Lupin could think clearly, Hobot brought them to a factory. He said modestly: "We have prepared a variety of fine carving equipment, hoping to meet your company's needs."

"This is a mechanical engraving machine, with an overall all-steel structure, a diamond cutter head, which uses high-precision ball screws and guide rails, which can be operated manually or can be controlled by simple programs. We have ready-made samples, wait, I'll get it now..."

He left for a while and brought back a three-foot-long brown wooden board with intricate patterns on it, he said: "Many customers use it on the patterns of high-end furniture."

The twins looked at the sharp conical blade head and were about to reach out to touch it when it suddenly buzzed and turned into a blurry shadow.

"Be careful!" Hobot shouted, "it's revving at two thousand revs, which is very dangerous." He glanced at Felix, which meant, look forward to your naughty child!

"Fred, George, don't you want to leave your hands here, right?" Felix said softly.

The two grinned, and Fred asked, "Can you demonstrate it once?"

Seeing that Felix and Lupin were not opposed, Hobot felt that the hope of a deal increased greatly, "No problem!" He said in a relaxed tone, and then called a professional staff member. The employee took the board and looked carefully. He turned the board to the back and clamped it on the workbench. Then he pressed the control button next to it, and the rotating conical carving knife began to move. When it came into contact with the board, the wood chips flew and rolled up wooden flowers.

The twins watched blankly as the knife head moved flexibly on the wooden board. After five minutes, when the wooden board was taken down, they repeatedly compared the patterns on both sides, exactly the same, and could not find any difference.

"Think about it, can it be used in your products?" Felix said. Hobot glanced at them strangely, guessing in his heart that it might be asking them to make some toys, but as long as it can be sold, he would not care what he does. Anyway, there are hundreds of dangerous matters marked on the manual. If it is not done according to the operation, don't let them pay a penny in an accident.

"The next one is the laser engraving machine..."

"There is higher precision, faster carving speed, and the transition is delicate and natural, no less than some hand-carved artists. It can work on various planes, metal sheets, glass, leather, fabrics, canvas, etc."

"Where is the parchment?" Fred asked with interest.

"Parchment?" Hobot was stunned, "Maybe you can try the printer?"

"Okay, Fred, don't make things difficult for him." Felix said lightly: "Mr. Nath, can you find a slate for me?"

"Of course, I remember having similar samples in my office." Hobot left in a hurry.

There were only four people left at the scene, and Lupin asked, "Can we use it?" He pointed to the small computer, "It looks complicated."

“No need to worry about it,” Felix said. “I only need the mechanical part…”

His hand was placed on the mechanical engraving machine, and his magic power was sensation and touching. In the invisible perspective, magic ripples continued to spread. After a few seconds, the stationary cone head suddenly turned, and under his control, the cone engraving knife left a magic symbol on the edge of the wooden board.

Felix gently blew away the wood chips, and the carved traces on his fingertips showed that they were brushing by, and a magic power remained.
