Chapter 141 Witch Delivery Service

The use of house elf to deliver express delivery was unanimously recognized by everyone, but there were differences on the issue of remuneration.

Hermione insisted that the domestic elves should be treated well, not only with salary, but also with vacation and sick leave.

Fred and George looked at each other and giggled.

"Wages and holidays?" Fred shook his head, "The house elf doesn't need these!"

"Yes, they like to work," George echoed. "We can get them to deliver free delivery."

"Who said?" Hermione retorted, "Doby needs it, right, Doby?"

Hermione looked at Dobi with encouraging eyes. It stood up tremblingly and said firmly: "Yes, Dobi needs a salary!"

"Okay." George raised his hand, "but, a weirdo like Dobby... Ahem, I mean, elves with personality are rare."

"Yes, their nature is to work, they like this, do you understand?" Fred said.

"If they don't let them work, they will feel uncomfortable and paying them a wage is an insult to them."

"So you are ready to continue enslaving them." Hermione showed a dangerous look.

The twins looked at William as if they were asking for help.

William raised his hand and signaled Hermione to be quiet. He said calmly: "Of course we have to pay."

Hermione raised her chin and showed her winning gaze.

"First of all, we need to recognize a most basic problem. Do you want to give money when owls deliver express delivery?" William asked.

"Of course I want it," Fred said.

Unless you are home-raised owls, such as owls who deliver newspapers and owls who give gifts, you need to pay.

Occasionally, they will even ask for dried fish and peck your arms if they don’t give it to them.

When you see beautiful hair, you will forcefully pull out a few pieces and take them back to lay the bird's nest.

This also varies from person to person. Professor Snape never has such troubles.

The owl who attempted to do such a thing was fumed to death at the moment of his mouth.

"Since owls need to be paid, why do you hire a housewife to deliver express delivery without paying?" William asked.

The twins remained silent.

"You've misunderstood one thing," William said, "Who says most house elves are not paid?"

Household elves work at the wizard's house, and they are also responsible for food and accommodation.

Although this is not equivalent labor, it is also a transaction."

"We will not provide food and accommodation for domestic elves, so we will naturally have to pay wages to get the supplies to meet their own survival needs."

To put it bluntly, when it comes to raising elves at home, the wizard deliberately blurs the issues of reward and labor.

But isn’t it a reward to control food and accommodation? It’s just that this kind of reward is much cheaper than the labor of house elf.

William decided not to care about food and accommodation and let the house elf solve the problem by himself. Then the salary is not a problem.

No wizard could say such a bastard: I don’t care about food and accommodation, and I don’t pay for work!

So is William losing money? Of course not.

Household elves are a kind of labor resource. They use magic to do other things and can create more surplus value than doing housework!

"Then how do they calculate their salary?" Qiu thought for a while and asked. "This is a considerable expense."

"It's very simple. Since it's a courier, it's as good as the delivery price of the owl for the time being," William said.

"That's not enough to survive in the house-raising elf!" Hermione said dissatisfied.

"Of course enough," William explained, "Houseels are not like owls, they can only deliver express delivery once a day.

They can phantoms and show shapes. Let’s not talk about the nearest ones, just send them to London.

The basic price of the market is five nits, and overloading requires additional money.

A house elf who uses phantom display can run at least fifty orders a day.

Then two hundred and fifty nats, one week is 3.54 Jin Jialong…”

"Enough." Dobby said happily: Too much, I'm enough for a Monday to Gallon."

Hermione glared at Dobby speechlessly.

"Hermione, we cannot immediately raise the treatment of domestic elf to a very high point," William comforted.

"But this is just the beginning, only when the price is low enough can you seize the market."

"When everyone adapts to this logistics method, we will definitely raise prices, do you understand?"

Only the grown-up leeks are good leeks!

It is convenient to cut it like that!

Hermione's problem is that she is determined to provide good treatment to the elves, wanting them to have salary, clothes, and a comfortable environment.

But there are only slogans and no substantial plans.

Hermione even thought that she could rely on the little wizard to raise funds and persuade the elves to consciously ask for wages...

These practices are all useless work. Neither the wizard nor the house elf will respond to her.

But William can solve this problem very simply.

That is to rely on Akali's mysterious store to establish a new logistics system and liberate them from the role of a family nanny.

This is a relatively gentle way to improve the situation to prevent riots.

"What about their holiday?" Cedric asked.

"Of course it's 996." William said for granted.

996 is the blessing of cultivation in the previous life!

William has made a big change than having a house elves all year round.

"It's too little, you can rest at least two days a week," said Hermione.

"No! Too much!" Dobi shivered, as if so much free time was very scary.

"Miss...Dobi likes freedom, Miss, but he doesn't want too much freedom, he prefers work!"

“…”

"There are also issues with clothing." William knocked on the table and said seriously: "Doby, I don't care what you dress when you are resting.

But during work, you must have a uniform work clothes, not fancy, but must be clean."

Dobby nodded quickly.

"I will ask Mars, the elf of the Nicole family, to train you for two months."

William has even thought about the style of his clothes, just put on yellow work clothes.

He looked inexplicably friendly with a helmet.

It is best to have a little elf equipped with a flying broom.

William is now working to transform the magic world into what he is familiar with.

Maybe in a few years, I will see investment promotion advertisements such as Ele.me and Meituan in Diagon Alley.

Since you can't change yourself, then change the world!

"What's our new store?" Hermione asked eagerly.

"Just..." William held his chin, thought for a while, and smiled, "You'll be anxious!"

"Remember, we're not trying to make money." He stood up and waved.

“We are not interested in money!

Our goal is to ensure that house elfs can obtain reasonable wages and a good working environment.

We are not capitalists, we are real... philanthropists!"
