Connor's Hogwarts
Page 426
On the other side, Charles's smile became brighter and brighter. In his opinion, wizards absolutely don't understand this thing. This made him find some sense of superiority after a long absence. He said proudly: "This is a personal computer! Not long ago, all the employees of our company The staff has all been replaced with personal computers, and the old word processors (upgraded typewriters) have been replaced, which is a wonderful thing, and he can-"
"Can this thing go online?" Connor waved his hand and directly interrupted Charles' long speech.
Charles's smile froze on his face. He really didn't expect to hear the word i from this nephew. Are wizards so trendy now?
"Yes, yes, it can connect to the Internet, and it can connect you to the whole world! Now it is used by big companies in London. Our company's personal computers are all the best, with 2mb of memory and even more hard drives. There are 128mb..."
Connor didn't listen carefully to what Charles said, he was lost in thought.
In fact, he has always been concerned about the development of the Internet, but the last time he went to Lake Company and saw that they were still using typewriters, this time they all replaced them with computers. Connor was a little surprised by this.
"What do you all use computers for now?" Connor asked the dry-mouthed Charles.
"We have built a local area network within our company, and employees can send emails to each other. Work communication is much more convenient, and I am writing manuscripts now..."
Connor nodded and listened, and gradually lost his mind... Although the World Wide Web has not yet been implemented, various applications of personal computers have brought a lot of convenience to people's work.
In the next few years, Internet technology will usher in explosive development, and personal computers will also become popular. The Muggle world is also embracing the tide of the times...
and also...
"Drip drip-"
The Motorola on the desktop rang, Charles quickly picked it up, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I'll answer the phone first..."
Connor watched Ciel go to the balcony to answer the phone, and suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart. The world seemed to be moving on the track he was familiar with. If there was no magic...
"Connor, that's a cell phone. It's a phone that you can take with you. It's the Facebook of the Muggle world. Dad talked to that cell phone every day after he came home a while ago, but he could only hear the voice but couldn't see his face. ..." Blanche enthusiastically introduced to Connor.
Connor's face was strange. The term "Facebook in the Muggle world"... feels quite interesting, but Facebook will still appear in the Muggle world in the future. Connor has already planned it. Shameless Zuckerberg registered the domain name facebook before he made his fortune. After all, I am the "Facebook founder" now.
"Hahaha, technology is still not as convenient as magic. Facebook is much more powerful than this phone..." Charles came back soon after finishing the call: "Sorry, I chatted with someone about some business matters, Connor Why are you free today? What do you want to drink? Black tea or coffee?"
Connor and Blanche sat down at the side, "I don't drink coffee. I originally planned to come here yesterday, but I postponed it until today because of some accidents, and I've been busy with the Monster Cup recently, so the company didn't pay much attention to it. If you're free these two days, come and have a look..."
"Hahaha, you don't need to worry about things here. The company has been developing steadily. Whether it is Lake Pharmaceuticals or comic magazines, they have not encountered any difficulties..."
Charles made tea for the two of them. He is now considered a successful person. There are not many Squibs who can reach his status in the Muggle world. It's all his own blood and sweat, and Charles still has a sense of accomplishment.
"I don't care whether you are profitable or not. I just came here to tell you about the company's future development direction..." Connor waved his hand, then pointed to the computer on Charles's desk, and said, "That, a personal computer, How much do you know, Uncle Charles?"
"Computer?" Charles scratched his head: "Of course I don't understand this. If most companies in London started to use computers, I wouldn't even know there were such machines. At the beginning of the year, we were still using computers. With a word processor..."
"Then do you know anyone who understands this?"
"That's it... I have a few classmates who work in the pipex company. I just heard from them that they can use their mobile phones to dial up the Internet now..."
Connor picked up the teacup and tapped the rim with his index finger, "Uncle Shire, what do you think about the Internet...?"
"Ah? It's amazing. Muggles can also rely on technology to do things that can only be done by magic. I think maybe one day they can make a machine like Facebook!"
"..." Then you really have vision, Connor smiled: "There will be such a day, and what I want to talk about just happens to be related to this personal computer..."
"Huh? Do you also want to be in the computer business? But I heard that this thing sucks money, and now our company doesn't have that much liquidity..."
Connor shook his head: "It's not the best time for us to enter the venue...but we can already do some preparations, Uncle Shire, pay more attention to computer talents in the past few years, and prepare well for entering the venue. Prepare."
Charles frowned and said, "Connor, are you really planning to intervene in this area? You have to know that I am a complete layman in this area, and this industry is just in its infancy. No one knows what will happen in the future." I can't guarantee it, I'm going to get involved now... Is it appropriate?"
"It's suitable, it's very suitable..." Connor took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Uncle Charles, I can tell you very clearly that computers are the future of mankind, and we must now reach out and grab them. Isn't that appropriate for the future of mankind?"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
The main magic props manufacturing factories of the Lake family are all built in Birmingham, the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and the second largest city in the UK.
It used to be the "Coal City" in the hearts of the British, but with the rise of heavy metal music here, Birmingham is now a city of music.
It’s not the first time Connor has come to Burlingham. It’s better to say that he comes here often. Lake’s Facebook, music boxes, Star Dream series brooms... are mainly produced in the factory here, as the main design of the props Teacher, he is a frequent visitor to the factory.
But today, what he wants to "inspect" is a new factory, which is responsible for the production of housekeeping alchemy puppets, an industry that has never been set before by wizards.
Connor came here by himself, oh, and brought Angel and 2b with him. He didn't dare to bring his younger siblings, because there are billions of children in the factory here, it's not suitable for children...
"Hey, Connor, long time no see~"
"Dakoles, didn't we just meet last week at the Monster Cup."
"Hahaha, you are surrounded by so many beauties, I thought you didn't notice me~"
Connor smiled and cursed and hit the guy on the shoulder, and the two of them walked towards the factory with their shoulders crossed.
Duckles Donnapp is a Ravenclaw senior at High Conner's level, the backbone of the fraternity, and the one who gets along very well with Charlie.
This guy's family is a family of alchemists, and he still raises fire dragons in Egypt. He is a veritable son of a rich family.
The Alchemy Puppet Factory was jointly built by the Lake family and their family. This guy was "intern" here during the summer vacation. He just knew that Connor was coming, so he came out to receive him.
"School starts in a few days~ It's a little sad to think about it." Duckles sighed.
"What? Can't bear to have the last happy summer vacation?" The fifth grade is about to prepare for the Owls Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination, and it will become more and more busy in the future, so the summer vacation of the fourth grade is called "【" The last summer vacation].
"No, in fact, is there any difference between going to school and summer vacation for us? We also need to help with the family's business during the vacation, which is much more busy than going to school..."
"..." Isn't it just going to work in the factory?But I see you in the water every day, your job is to catch fish, right?Connor looked at this guy with disdain, "Then why are you sad? You should be happy to go back to school, right?"
Duckles looked around furtively, then whispered to Connor, "I'm telling you secretly, don't tell it."
"What? So mysterious..."
"I hooked up with Avery from the Flints over the summer!"
"It's fine, it's fine, what's the big...wait—" Connor looked at Dakoreth with a strange expression: "I remember you have a girlfriend? That Lina from Gryffindor... .You—you are on two boats!"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)")) "Why are you yelling so loudly?!"
Connor struggled to break free, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face fiercely, and looked at the other party with strange eyes: "So you broke up with that Lina?"
"No."
"What about Avery?"
"It's good."
"? So you're in two boats?" Connor looked at him with contempt.
"This...I don't want to...Avery moved first, I tried to struggle..."
