Chapter 10: Product Launch Preparations
For the next 1 month, he busied himself in creating the magic phone. The biggest obstacle wasn't making the device but figuring out how to have connectivity. It was 1991 and the world was advanced enough. He could hire NASA to send a satellite but he dumped that idea as he didn't know if it would work.
Later in his research, he found out that the world was different than his world. The air particles were different on a molecular level. There was magic in it. They were extremely small circular particles. He then traveled a bit and found out that some places had more particle density than others.
For example, Hogwarts had a very high density. Most of the muggle world had very small. All the major areas with high density already had buildings related to the magical community. Though he couldn't understand what brought this new particle. All he knew was that magic existed because of this and magic had existed even before pyramids were built and they were surely made with the help of magic.
With this discovery, he found a way to use these magic particles for data transmission. In the end, he designed a magic tower with a 5000-kilometer range. Its purpose was to manage the data transmission.
The main device was just like any other modern smartphone. A 6-inch touch screen, back and front camera with 4K capabilities. automatic rechargeable batteries with the use of magic particles. It was much sturdier than a normal phone.
It comes with a variety of apps. Such as caller app, video calling, camera, messaging, browser, news, social networking called Unibook, video-sharing app called Unitube. The price of the device was set up at 15 galleons(100 US dollars at the rate of 1 galleon = 6.53 US dollars). The box will include the device, wireless earphones and a full manual on how to use it and its apps.
The monthly service charge was priced at 5 Sickles(3 US dollars). The service included everything. From call to messaging. However they'd still need to pay a subscription fee for news, the fee was also 5 Sickles. He had also planned to start e-commerce but for that, he'd need to have a chat with Gringotts' higher management.
The prices of all these would be revised each year to stay consistent with the exchange rate. He had estimated that his new business would bring him an immense amount of money.
He also created a flat television with variants of 22-inch, 32-inch, 42-inch, and 52-inch screens. The starting price was set at 5 galleons with an increment of 3 galleons on bigger sizes. Such that, the price was 5 galleons, 8 galleons, 11 galleons, and 14 galleons. They would be available in the same stores as the magic phones. The most magical thing about phones and T.V.s was that it could produce smell. Which means that people could smell food on a certain cooking show.
