"So you usually take care of such a big store by yourself? How can you be so busy?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in surprise. As far as he knew, Silver Flash Trading Company was a big business now. How could it be possible to leave only one person?
What about the store?
"I'm not the only one." Ibrahimovic chuckled and scratched his head, "I usually have me at the headquarters, and Qiqi and Vivian are responsible for the permanent presence, but since Yinshan is now a multinational company, Qiqi has to be responsible for the operations of the entire company.
, finance and production, and don’t have so much time to take care of it in the store.”
"As for Vivian, when she was originally only responsible for product design, she would still help me share some work, but since she created the 'International Mahjong Club' a year ago, she has devoted herself to her mahjong career.
It's gone."
At this time, the two of them happened to be passing by the second floor. Ibrahimovic winked at Dumbledore and then pursed his lips towards the second floor.
Dumbledore followed Ibrahimovic's expression and looked inside, and found that the second floor, which was originally the living room, had now changed into something else. First of all, the space was much larger than before. Although it was not as wide as the first floor, there were still five or six rooms.
100 square meters.
Secondly, this large flat floor is filled with mahjong tables, and there are nearly a hundred people sitting inside.
At this time, each of these wizards was concentrating on playing cards, sometimes shouting and cheering, sometimes frowning, it was really lively, there was even a table where someone seemed to have mixed up the big cards, and the mahjong tiles on the table actually shot up into the air and exploded with a burst of gorgeous fireworks.
, people around him tilted their heads or stood up to congratulate him when they saw this scene.
And Dumbledore finally found Vivian with curly hair and laughing wildly among these people. However, it seemed that it was due to the soundproofing magic. He could not hear the movement inside, but the light
It seemed very noisy.
"This..." Seeing this scene, Dumbledore looked at Eevee with a suppressed smile, "I didn't expect you to have a cave on the second floor."
"Hey, principal, you are laughing." Ibrahimovic shrugged helplessly, "Due to Vivian's efforts in the past few years, mahjong has spread well in various wizarding communities, and our magic mahjong tables and mahjong tiles are also selling well.
, Under Vivian’s various requests, Anduin had no choice but to agree to change the second floor into a mahjong room.”
"The result is like this. Vivian organizes people to play cards on the second floor every day when she goes to work. She also claims that she is promoting the company. Recently I heard that she is planning to prepare a mahjong competition covering the whole UK. She is so generous.
I have the nerve to ask Anduin to apply for funds as a bonus." Ibrahimovic sighed speechlessly when he said this.
"Hahaha..." Dumbledore seemed to be amused by Vivian's actions, "Can Anduin agree? And if Vivian's club takes up the entire second floor, wouldn't it be a huge loss for you?
?”
"Of course Anduin won't agree. Didn't you see that he used soundproofing magic at the entrance because he was too noisy?" Ibrahimovic pointed to the metal door, "But Vivian actually found a way on her own. You
Don't think that although this mahjong game is free, the daily turnover is not small. She can make a lot of money just by selling drinks. As a result, she actually started the game by herself with this fund. Maybe in a few days
You can see it in the newspaper."
Dumbledore couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Why did the style of painting in Silver Flash Trading Company feel so strange to him? Shouldn't this be the headquarters of a serious multinational company?
While chatting, the two also arrived on the third floor. At this time, the third floor had also been renovated. The original bedrooms had been renovated and turned into 1 large, 4 small, 5 offices and a public living room.
The largest office naturally belongs to Anduin, and the other four belong to Qiqi, Vivian, Ibrahimovic and Hogg respectively.
Yes, Hogg also has his own office, and except for Ibrahimovic, several other people can now be said to be senior executives of Silver Flash Company.
At this time, Shalltear, who was sitting at the secretary's desk in front of Anduin's office, stood up immediately after seeing the two people who suddenly appeared, showing a professional smile, "Hello, Principal Dumbledore, are you here to see me?"
"
"Yes, I have something to talk to Anduin about. I heard that he is still receiving other guests. Do you need me to wait?" Since Dumbledore was asking for help this time, his attitude was very humble.
"It doesn't matter. The other two people who came to visit today have just arrived, and you should be familiar with them. Please come with me. It just so happens that I just received a few letters to report to your Excellency." Shalltear did not hesitate.
He smiled attentively, and then led Dumbledore through the door.
Since it was Dumbledore's first time to come to Anduin's office, he couldn't help but be stunned when he entered the door and saw the scene inside.
The room in front of him was said to be an office, but it looked like a weapons collection room of a medieval noble. First, there was a row of metal armors of different shapes placed side by side, some full body armor, some half body armor, and secondly, on the wall
, the tables and cabinets are even more hung and filled with various forms of melee weapons, such as axes, swords, broadswords, spears, and shields.
Flounder
In addition, the surrounding decoration fully shows what a trench is. Various beautifully decorated magic portraits and murals cover the walls. Tables, chairs, sofas and tapestries are all made of high-quality materials, and are also beautifully decorated with precious metals.
It was beautiful, and there were a large number of finished alchemy props placed in the display cabinet. Some of them were known to Dumbledore, and some of them he couldn't even understand their uses.
Good guy, is this entire carpet under your feet made of the skin of the Moonstruck Beast? Dumbledore lowered his head inadvertently and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. You can really tell with your eyes how much Anduin is.
Rich...
On the sofa in the living room of the office, three people were sitting at this time, namely Anduin, who looked the same as a few years ago, the retired former Minister of Magic Badno and the current Minister Fudge.
"Albus, I didn't expect you to come today. What a coincidence." After seeing Dumbledore, Bardnor immediately came up to him with a smile.
"Millicent, I didn't expect to meet you here." Dumbledore smiled and nodded at her, then looked at the two people next to him, "Good day, gentlemen."
"Good day, Principal Dumbledore, please take a seat. If I remember correctly, this is your first time visiting my office. It seems like today is really a good day."
Anduin looked at the old man in front of him with a smile, then lightly snapped his fingers, and then flew out a bottle of wine and several wine glasses from an exquisite wine cabinet next to him. Then the wine glasses were filled one after another in the air, falling smartly.
Go in front of everyone.
"This is the peach sherry given to me by the Spanish Minister of Magic. It tastes very good. It's rare for you to be here together today, so you can try it." After that, Anduin made another invitation gesture.
Dumbledore politely picked up the wine glass and returned the greeting, then took a sip and found that it was indeed very sweet. Then he suddenly turned his head and looked at Bardno as if he thought of something, "By the way, Millicent, I am resigning."
How have you been this year?"
"Not bad." Badno nodded without denying, "I took a full year off before, but I just received an invitation from Anduin, and he seems to want me to use my remaining energy again."
After saying that, Bardnor pouted at Anduin, while Anduin on the other side was listening to Shalltear's report.
"Sir, Minister Andre from Germany has written again. He said that Director Küller of the Department of International Magical Cooperation is planning to retire recently. He would like to ask if you are willing to take over as director. If not, is there a good candidate?
suggestion."
"In addition, Principal Karkaroff of Durmstrang College has also written, requesting you to send a wizard to guide them in setting up a 'training' course." Shalltear took out two letters and asked softly.
"I wrote back to Andre and said that, as before, I am not interested in politics. As for the successor, Asa Berry, the deputy director of the Department of Magical Transportation, is a good choice. She has a good image, is serious about her work, and handles international affairs.
The affairs of the Department of Magical Cooperation should be easy to handle."
"As for the Durmstrang side, you can send a letter to the French branch so that Azalea can go there. The affairs in France will be left to her sister for the time being. Anay
Although Si has just graduated, she should be able to do the job based on her abilities." Anduin told Shalltear neatly.
Hearing that Anduin was so casually deciding on the candidate for the director of the Ministry of Magic of a country on the European continent, as well as the affairs of a magic school, Dumbledore and others couldn't help but look at each other.
You can see a hint of surprise.
Has Anduin's influence reached this level now?
At this time, Anduin seemed to have just explained a bunch of trivial matters. He turned around and looked at Dumbledore with a smile, "Sorry, Principal Dumbledore, I have something to discuss with Bardnor and Fudge. I just want to talk to you."
Could you please wait a moment?"
"It doesn't matter. I have a private matter with you, so you should discuss business matters first." Dumbledore shook his head indifferently, and then sat quietly next to him as a bystander.
Fudge on the other side seemed to be a little transparent before. Seeing that Anduin was finally talking about business, he immediately took the initiative and asked, "Mr. Wilson, you invited me and Bardno here today. Is there anything important?"
"
Fudge's attitude at this time was very respectful, because he knew that the young man in front of him was currently the largest financial backer of the Ministry of Magic and the absolute boss in the British wizarding world.
Before Fudge was elected Minister of Magic, Bardnor even brought him over to meet with Anduin. In Fudge's eyes, that meeting was more like an interview, as if his position could only be determined by Anduin's approval.
