Bangbang!
"Come in!"
A middle-aged man in a wide black wizard's robe opened the door and came in, gently closed the door, stood near the door, bowed down, and said that after calling the lord, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
The blonde old man, who was called an adult, put down the enamel bone china tea cup in his hand, and said in a low voice: "It's bad news!?"
"Catherine Shafiq revoked the consignment order of Nozawa Garden Castle yesterday, and then went to Gringotts to exchange it for 30,000 gold galleons, and then bought a sufficient amount of energy stones, redeemed the house-elves of the Fangli family and the Shafiq family, and also bought a large number of Qixiang vine seeds, as well as four spirit-nosed hounds. And ..."
The blonde old man couldn't listen anymore and slapped the table hard.
He roared with a hideous face: "What qualifications does Catherine have to exchange for 30,000 gold Galleons at one time?"
"My lord, Catherine took out the Fang Li family's ancient spirit documents, proving that the Fang Li family is one of the seventeen ancient families who founded Gringotts."
"And what about money? Where did she get so much money all at once? That's a huge sum of over 150,000 pounds!
"My lord, it is a gift from the Squib heir of the Fang Li family, the legal principles are clear, the procedures are proper, and there are no omissions."
"Squib heir of the Fang Li family..." The blonde old man thought for a moment, remembering that Catherine should call her aunt. So what does the old woman do? So rich?
"Food trucks, selling a type of Muggle food called hamburgers."
The blonde old man's eyes widened and he said angrily, "Are you talking nonsense?
"His sausage burgers and pickled cucumbers are famous, with an average profit of more than £3,000 a day."
"..." The blonde old man felt like he was listening to a myth and legend.
A person who sells early, with a profit of 100,000 pounds a month, is not a myth, but a good story, a good story of a sufficient population base and an active economy. The people of the British Empire in this era are still living a very nourishing life.
This bureau began to be laid out shortly after Kane learned about the paternal and maternal family members in this life. At that time, Catherine's aunt ran a breakfast shop, and business was not good.
Kane has come up with a full package that includes basic recipes, and it is specifically aimed at office workers who work in office buildings. Among them, especially the sweet and sour cucumber, which is squeezed with clean juice, is actually a kind of traditional pickled vegetables in the north of the Celestial Empire.
The real technical content is the spices in the sausage, the exclusive secret recipe, how to eat nothing special, but when eating other things, it often makes people think of it.
Even Catherine hadn't imagined business to be so good until she reconnected with her aunt.
Comrade Kane, the chief designer, said that it was okay, and now it is very appropriate and bloody to stage a snowy day.
So after the snow turned cold, dripping into ice, and against the background of broken snow again, the miserable Shafiq mother and son, after trying their best, chose to go to the relatives who run the mobile food truck to see if they could rescue them.
Most wizards, like the old blond man, have the same perception of food trucks as they do about the poor people who live a hard life.
Some people even think that it is a modern version of the little match girl, who is still out of the stall in the cold, and freezes into a stupid bird at the end of the day, and no one goes out to buy her things.
The result? People are like those in the Celestial Empire who sell snacks such as boiled skewers and sizzling squid in a certain period of time, and they are far richer than those who eat skewers, but they just don't say it, and they make a lot of money in a muffled voice.
Catherine was also shocked, and said in her heart: "The legendary alchemist's alchemy is not as powerful as my son's means, right?" With a turn of the brain, come up with a plan, selling bread and pickled cucumbers can be so profitable?
Kane later spoke to her about it, and in a nutshell, Catherine realized for the first time that wizards were really countrymen who had never seen the world in the past.
"Stink it, wizards have a hundred ways to stink their business!" The blonde old man said angrily.
"My lord, it is understood that they have applied for a number of patents and have been officially characterized by Muggles as a special food culture, which is part of the culture of the city of London. They have opened three chains, all of which are booming. Even German tourists admit that his sausages are comparable to the famous German sausages. The
blonde old man pursed his lips, trying to suppress the anger in his heart. He knew that this kind of Muggle industry, which had already made a name for itself, could not be easily troubled, and the impact was far-reaching, and it was easy to arouse Muggle suspicion and vigilance.
In this case, if he insists on going his own way, it will be tantamount to harming the interests of the entire wizarding world, not to mention him and his family, even if Voldemort does this, he will have to pay the price.
Of course, he won't stop there, and he is confident that he has more than enough ways to deal with the vulnerable Shafiq family.
He was annoyed that such a defeated dog that had been cramped and skinned had made a fuss again, and he was distressed by the loss of property.
According to his monetary calculations, the loss is not only the cost of redeploying troops and rearranging troops, but also the benefits that can be generated by Nozawa Castle and Exmoor Villa after they are obtained according to the original plan.
In his plan, the two secret properties will be listed under the name of the Ministry of Magic in the name of lease. At that time, the Ministry of Magic will not only be responsible for the repair and maintenance of the castle, but will also have to pay a large annual rental fee.
This is also the main reason why Kane looks down on these pure-blood magnates.
The scrooge who is uneducated and short-sighted, and his idea of making money is nothing more than clinging to the Ministry of Magic, an official Muggle-like institution, to do something that harms the public and private interests.
Of course, the old man with the blonde hair would not admit that he had a distasteful man's head, and he thought that his big plan was very lofty.
Nozawa Castle is very strategic in his eyes, it is the closest secret place to the wizarding village of Hogsmeade.
The famous Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, across the lake from Hogsmeade.
Their specific location is the northwest region of Aberdeen, an important city in the north of England.
It is a plain area near the North Sea deep in the vast Scottish Highlands, largely devoid of cities, as inhospitable and inaccessible as Siberia.
In the past, the powerful in the wizarding world did not take Hogwarts and Hogsmeade seriously, they believed that the former was famous mainly because there was a strongest white wizard Dumbledore who defeated Grindelwald. The latter, on the other hand, is nothing more than a colony of poor wizards.
However, in the Wizarding Wars, both of these roles are impressive.
At one point, Hogsmeade became a more valuable political center than the Ministry of Magic.
The other settlements, for the sake of convenience in peacetime, were integrated into Muggle towns, and after the war, convenience became an obstacle.
The Ministry of Magic was another major target for the Death Eaters, and it fell early.
Most wizards also lack a sense of intimacy there, much like a normal person has for a unit.
Hogsmeade is different, it is a town of wizards, there are not so many scruples, and the people who come and go are of the same kind, this kind of place that allows people to relax and have a natural sense of intimacy and belonging, which is the only place in the whole of Britain.
As for Hogwarts, in the Wizarding Wars, HogwartsTsz showed the wizards and magnates the horror of being well-connected.
The world is full of peaches and plums, and this is the strength of Hogwarts.
As Horace Slughorn, who taught Voldemort, Harry Potter's parents, and many other celebrities, said when he appeared: "Barnabas Guffey, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet, if I have an opinion on something, I can ask the owl to carry him a letter." Corvinus Jones, captain of the Holyhead Harpys, can get free tickets whenever I want. "...
How did the Order of the Phoenix, which was prominent in the Wizarding Wars, gathered? What does a poor ghost organization that is difficult to even raise funds for its activities rely on to become the backbone of the fight against evil?
Popularity!
And the hearts of the people, or the initial gathering of the backbone members of the Order of the Phoenix, were the alumni classmates recruited by a few professors.
If you want to target Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, in addition to the Ministry of Magic, you also need to have a platform that can respond in time, so I took a fancy to Nozawa Castle.
Now there is a mistake, and the blonde old man who is in charge of the specific operation of this project asks himself if he can't take that secret realm in time, he may become a laughing stock in the circle and damage his image and reputation.
No one likes to deal with people who can't do anything, and for the sake of reputation, the blonde old man is still willing to pay.
