The Great Writers of Hogwarts

Chapter 80 Acquisition of "The Quibbler"

Just when Andre and Lupin were developing character cards, hoping to make the next "The Elder Scrolls" shine and start the follow-up layout, the storm in the magic world was intensifying.

With the shocking Dumbledore scandal exposed, attacks against Dumbledore have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Some are convincing, analyzing his psychology from Dumbledore's family and background, and drawing the conclusion that Dumbledore is a power control.

Some are logically chaotic to the point of almost personal attacks. Why Dumbledore has been single must be a psychopath.

No matter how stupid people are, they can feel that the power struggle in the magic world is already in full swing.

When a whale falls and everything is born, Dumbledore is the giant whale that can feed countless powerful animals, and will naturally attract joint attacks from various forces that spare no effort.

Only when Dumbledore falls can they share the sweet fruits of victory.

Among these various forces, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge is undoubtedly the most powerful one.

At this time, his reputation has soared by exposing Dumbledore's brave behavior, and he is no longer cowering and restrained before, and he has the aura of contemptuousness.

After that interview, the "Daily Prophet" fully understood the situation.

Since Dumbledore is about to fall, of course they have to stand in line quickly. This is also the traditional art that the "Daily Prophet" relies on to dominate the magic world.

Criticize Dumbledore's point of view, no matter how absurd, the "Daily Prophet" will give you a board.

To defend Dumbledore, even if it was a rational voice that said that Dumbledore was flawless and still made great contributions to the magic world, the "Daily Prophet" pretended not to hear it.

In addition to the attack on Dumbledore, the writers of the "Daily Prophet" are still sparing no effort to do one thing, which is to push all the criticized things of the Ministry of Magic in the past to Dumbledore.

Is the unemployment rate high in the wizarding world?That's because Dumbledore controlled Hogwarts, which made the reform of the Department of Education in the Magic World impossible, resulting in low employment quality. This is Dumbledore's fault.

High crime rate in the wizarding world?Dumbledore raised his self-esteem and deliberately indulged the dark wizard to highlight his indispensable status!
A bribery scandal involving some Ministry of Magic officials?It must be to raise money to fund activities for Dumbledore and his secret society, Dumbledore, you have committed a heinous crime!

Everything about the Daily Prophet is promoting Cornelius Fudge.

As for the professional ethics of the media?
There was loud laughter in the "Daily Prophet" conference room.

"Which third-rate tabloid is this that actually criticizes our "Daily Prophet" for being unprofessional, not objective enough, and reporting untrue?"

"I want to laugh when they talk about professional ethics!
Ah, what, am I already laughing?That's fine. "

Barnabas, the editor-in-chief of "Daily Prophet", laughed at the newspaper, making no effort to hide his contempt and disdain for the so-called ethics.

ethics?

If the "Daily Prophet" had insisted on its integrity, when Grindelwald was in full swing, the headquarters might have been burned to ashes by a Fiercefire curse.

When Voldemort and the Death Eaters swept the wizarding world, if the "Daily Prophet" insisted on integrity, the grave of his editor-in-chief would be one meter high now.

The "Daily Prophet" can survive so well until today, relying on the kung fu of seeing the wind and steering the rudder with one hand.

Whoever wants to win, they will brag.

Dynasties have changed from generation to generation, but the "Daily Prophet" has always stood firm. On the contrary, it has occupied an increasing market share in the newspaper industry in the magic world. The reason is that all those in power need the "Daily Prophet" to help them promote it.

Barnabas sneered.

"Now I'm going to let them know the price of integrity."

"Oulai, you've done a lot of this recently, so you should be familiar with it, right?"

The director of Ole, who was in charge of the acquisition, smiled, showing a ready expression.

"Of course, this kind of third-rate newspaper can be crushed to death at will."

"I've reported it to the Ministry of Magic, just like the thorns that popped up before.

This newspaper spread information unfavorable to the Ministry of Magic, and it is likely that Dumbledore received money. The Ministry of Magic has approved and is reviewing them. "

"Hehe, within two days, we can buy them at a low price."

Ole's understatement of a few words has already revealed the means by which the "Daily Prophet" recently made a fortune.

In a short period of time, they have participated in this power struggle with the back of the Ministry of Magic, swallowing more than ten small newspapers and magazines in one go, and expanding the share of the "Daily Prophet".

This method is used to deal with this unknown tabloid, it is also easy to catch.

Barnabas nodded in satisfaction.

"The thorns that dared to jump out have been cleaned up.

Now is the time to deal with that family. "

When this was mentioned, there was a glimmer of haze on the high-level of several "Daily Prophet" present, and their eyes fell on a name circled in red ink on the wall of the conference room.

"The Quibbler"!
Seeing the name reminded the executives of the crushing loss to the Daily Prophet in previous weeks.

As the sales leader in the magic world for hundreds of years, it was unacceptable for them to be suppressed by a third-rate magazine like "The Quibbler" in terms of sales in the past few weeks.

It's just that "The Quibbler" was too popular at the time, and the "Daily Prophet" didn't have a good opportunity, so it was really difficult to start.

But now, with the right time and place in my hands, I finally have the opportunity to clean up "The Quibbler".

Thinking of this, the eyes of several high-level officials all showed fiery colors.

"We don't know enough about their sales model, those agents have signed contracts with them, and they have a high sense of belonging to "The Quibbler", so there is no intention of betraying them.

But if we can eat "The Quibbler" and transfer these contracts directly, then this ready-made sales system will belong to us. "

"And J.K. Rowling and Andrzej Sapkowski, also rare contributors.

To stay in "The Quibbler" would be a waste of talent, such a talent has to be caught in our hands, how can it be lost to other small magazines? "

"Don't forget, the most important thing is Harry Potter's authorization.

If we could hold this in our hands, then..."

Just thinking about it, the heartbeats of the people present began to accelerate crazily.

It was a fantastic moment, and the "Daily Prophet" would reach an unprecedented peak, and their acquisition was enough to become a textbook case in the newspaper industry in the magic world!
Barnabas said to Ole.

"Then get ready to do it."

"Well, Ole, you go for a walk first.

This kind of upstart-like small magazine should be in awe of our "Daily Prophet".

Acquiring them is giving them face.

If they are interested, they can set a higher price.

If they don't, Ole, I'm sure you'll make them see what it's like, won't you? "

Supervisor Ole stood up with a look of excitement on his face.

He tapped viciously on the words "Quibbler" on the wall.

"Don't worry, if they dare to refuse, I will skin them alive, not even a drop of bone marrow."
