The rise of a sorcerer family was not simple, and it involved many interests beyond the imagination of the world.
The social structure of the magical world was actually very complicated, and it was not simply divided into pure-blooded sorcerers and ordinary sorcerers.
Like the Muggle World, pure-blooded sorcerer families were a bit like the outdated aristocrats of European countries.
They only had the glory of their ancestors to reminisce about, but in fact, they had declined and did not have much influence.
Now, in the magical world, the ones who really had the final say were the corporate plutocrats with large amounts of gold coins.
The reason why the Malfoy family could affect the development of the magical world was not because their family was old enough and their bloodline was pure and noble enough, but because they had many industries under their name and controlled the economic lifeline of the British magical world. The Ministry of Magic and those in power dared not offend them.
Of course, the difference between the Muggle World and the Muggle World was that the magical world also had magic power that exceeded the rules of the secular world.
If they could become as powerful as Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort, and Grindelwald, become great sorcerers, and form their own army, they could indeed break the balance and change the structure of the entire magical world. This was what they had been doing.
While Harry was carefully examining the Moon's Dream, Elwyn was also looking at the Sweep series of flying brooms placed on the wall.
From Sweep One Star to Seven Stars, it covered all the products in the early and middle stages of the Sweep series.
This was a famous British brand of brooms, founded in 1926 by the three brothers, Bob, Bill, and Barnaby Olerton.
At that time, this broom had made a new breakthrough in technology compared to the previous flying brooms.
Its safety performance was greatly improved, and it could be assembled. The production speed was extremely fast, and the cost was greatly reduced.
Since its launch, the Sweep series had forced all the previous brooms into a dead end at an unimaginable speed. In less than a year, it had occupied the world's mainstream broom market, including competition brooms, household brooms, and recreational brooms.
The Sweep series of flying brooms became the main export product of the British magical world at that time, and it successfully acquired the Silver Arrow broom brand. That was the most glorious era of the British magical world.
Looking at the old newspapers at that time, almost one-third of the British sorcerers worked for the Sweep company.
It was not until the Comet Trading Company produced their first model, the Comet 140, that the commercial myth of the Sweep series was shattered.
The founders of Comet Trading Company were two athletes of the Falmouth Falcons, Randolph Cage and Basil Horton.
The two Americans developed a new spell called "Brake Spell" and applied for a patent on it. This spell meant that the possibility of a Quidditch player scoring outside the field of play or flying offside was greatly reduced, increasing the fun and fairness of Quidditch. It was an epoch-making spell in professional Quidditch matches.
Because of this, the Flying Broom that had been imbued with a restraining spell became the designated broom used in competitions.
It was not until more than a decade later that the Sweeping Series returned to the field of flying broomsticks, but it was already too late.
For the next few decades, the competition in the market was between the Sweep series and the Comet series.
The two companies introduced improved broom models one after another, which became the mainstream of the entire magic world and set off the trend of flying brooms.
At the same time, other broom manufacturing factories sprung up all over the world like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
The various models of flying broom brands were dazzling. They had different functions and their own advantages. There were even some magic circles in small countries that regarded the flying broom industry as the hope of revitalizing the entire country's economy.
Among them, it was worth mentioning that the French company introduced two broom brands, Arrow and Xunjieda. They had super elasticity and were loved by ordinary wizards. They were the best choice for recreational brooms, but their speed had always been behind the Sweeping and Comet series of the same period.
There was also the Meteor developed by a Japanese company, which was said to be the cheapest flying broom in the world and was also very popular.
However, because of the conservation of materials, the speed and ability to ascend would decrease after being used for a long time.
Therefore, the Meteor series had always been the first choice for beginners and could not be loved by professionals.
In short, although there were hundreds of different brands of flying brooms all over the world, the brooms used in official competitions had always been the Sweeping Series and the Comet Series. There had never been any changes.
These two companies controlled the trend of flying brooms until 1967, when the Nimbus Competition Broom Company, which was headquartered in Berlin, was established. They shocked the world and were regarded as the symbol of the rise of modern Germany.
To be honest, wizards had never seen a broom like the Nimbus 1000.
The strict Germans combined the safety of the old Arrow broom, the stability of the Comet series, and the ease of handling of the best Sweeping series.
The Nimbus 1000 could reach a speed of 100 miles per hour and could make 360-degree turns anywhere in the air.
The Nimbus immediately gained the love of all professional Quidditch teams. Following that, various models were introduced, including the Nimbus 1001, Nimbus 1500, Nimbus 1700, and Nimbus 2000 series. They recreated the glory of the Sweeping series, which had always been the best in the magic world.
However, considering the current demand and popularity of flying brooms, the Nimbus series was actually much better than the Sweeping series.
Since then, the once glorious Sweeping series had completely declined, and only had a certain market share in England.
However, everyone knew that it was not the best broom. It was only a substitute for those who could not afford the Nimbus series and were unwilling to buy the Comet series.
The Comet series was slightly better than the Sweeping series, and they still had the largest market share in the household broom market. They insisted on introducing their own competition broom every year, hoping to surpass the Nimbus and become the hegemon of the broom market.
After a long period of persistence, they finally introduced the Firebolt the year before last.
This was known as the most perfect competition broom to date, and represented the highest level of craftsmanship in the magic world.
As soon as the Firebolt was introduced, it became the first choice of all Quidditch players. Of course, the price was also frightening.
Other than the two teams in the Quidditch World Cup and the Firebolt in Harry's hands, Elwyn still did not know who had this broom.
Currently, the mainstream competition broom on the market was still the Nimbus 2000 series.
It was said that in order to compete with the Firebolt, they wanted to introduce the Nimbus 3000 series this year, but no one knew what it would look like.
Naturally, Elwyn also wanted to introduce his own broom brand, and he was prepared to apply some of his alchemy skills to the broom.
This was something that no manufacturer could do at the moment, and he had the advantage in terms of technology, which was enough to crush other manufacturers.
The flying brooms in front of him gave him enough design ideas, and Elwyn was prepared to dismantle all the flying brooms and study the spells and design concepts used in them. As for the mainstream brooms that were currently lacking, he could buy all of them.
He wanted to design his own flying broom within the next month before school reopened.
Since the competition broom was the mainstream, Elwyn was prepared to wait until school reopened to sponsor Gryffindor's Quidditch team, and use it to build their reputation.
Then, he would use this success to convince other clubs to buy his broom.
The British Quidditch Club had always been the best in the world, and he believed that as long as Elwyn's broom was good enough, they would be willing to support a local broom brand. There was no reason to refuse, and this would also create a considerable demonstration effect.
After building up the popularity of the competition broom, he could enter the household and entertainment broom market, and even the international market.
