"Job opportunity at the Ministry of Magic?" Castor was stunned for half a second, then asked, "Is this enough?"
Based on his knowledge of Gringotts and the foreshadowing given by the Fairy Queen, he originally thought that the other party would open his mouth like a lion.
These are much more important than cold money...
Elena glanced at the equally surprised Ministry of Magic officials around her, and secretly cursed a few words.
It seems that she overestimated the political acumen of these Ministry of Magic officials. If she had known better, she would have asked that guy Douglas to deal with these officials.
After thinking for a few seconds, she replied calmly.
"For centuries, Gringotts Wizarding Bank has been adhering to the principle of absolute neutrality and not participating in any disputes between wizards. Therefore, we must pursue stable income and maximize profits. Only in this way can the goblins have enough capital to maintain absolute neutrality.
position."
"but……"
Elena paused for two seconds, her eyes swept across the officials, and finally landed on the goblin manager not far away.
"Since last year, Gringotts Wizarding Bank and the goblins have been continuously involved in various incidents."
"After calculations by the Gringotts Venture Capital Department and the Asset Accounting Department, maintaining a stable and orderly market is the most important investment project in the future."
"Obviously, someone is trying to destroy the precious stability and order of the magical world. As an important link in maintaining the stability and order of the magical world, Gringotts is obviously one of the targets in the eyes of dark wizards. Compared to the Ministry of Magic, Gringotts is in
You will only be more vulnerable to those evil wizards."
"The terrorist attack that occurred at the Ministry of Magic tonight is very likely to be repeated at Gringotts Bank one day -"
Elena said slowly, tapping her fingers lightly on the armrest.
"Therefore, after careful consideration, I finally made a decision that went against the teachings of my ancestors:"
"I hope that by taking this opportunity, the goblins and Gringotts Wizarding Bank can join the magical government as a special order... It is not a superficial help or alliance, but as partners to jointly maintain the order of the magical world and jointly fight against conspiracies and subversion.
The dark wizard of peace."
"On the other hand, if we become a community of interests, then the magical passage here at Gringotts..."
"The magical government can use it freely during normal times, just like we use the fireplaces in our respective Ministry of Magic halls to connect to the Floo network?"
Cornelius Fudge asked subconsciously, with a bit of excitement in his tone.
"Of course not. Tonight is a special occasion. Normally, you would have to pay extra..."
Elena shrugged and replied seriously, "This is not directed at the Ministry of Magic. The teleportation magic used within Gringotts is also used to record the cost - even the wizard's floo network is not used every time it is used.
Do you need to pay for materials? In Gringotts, we goblins use gold."
"Well, that makes sense. When can we set off?"
Amelia Bones nodded, looking around without exploring this aspect too much.
"According to the habits of you Gringotts goblins, you should have prepared some contract for us to sign on the spot, right?"
"Don't worry, the verbal agreement is enough for the time being -"
Elena shook her head and said with a chuckle, her voice became a little shrill, sounding like a textbook fairy tone.
"Time is money, my friends. You, oh no, what we lack most now is time."
"If you delay too long on the tedious process, it will lose its original meaning. The contract can be discussed slowly after the dust has settled. The top priority now is to recapture the fallen Ministry of Magic and get everything back on track as soon as possible. If you have no questions
, you can set off now.”
"Aren't you fairies worried that we will break the contract later?" Atif raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"Gringotts has established a venture capital department. Judging from the current evaluation results, we don't have to worry about the Ministry of Magic breaking the contract..."
Elena glanced at the ministers and gentlemen in the conference room and said meaningfully, "At least, for a foreseeable period of time in the future, we have to worry about the dark wizards who disrupt order. The Ministry of Magic and the goblins are bound to
We are close partners on the same front——"
If it doesn't work this time, then try a few more times... After the gray mist, the Fairy Queen quietly added in her heart.
This time, the Ministry of Magic raised no questions.
The smoothness of the negotiations between Gringotts Wizarding Bank and the Fairy Queen exceeded their expectations.
But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed very consistent with people's understanding of fairies - they are very good at clinging to strong people.
Even though the Ministry of Magic was caught off guard and suffered a despicable sneak attack, it still represents the most powerful and authoritative force in the wizarding world today. The goblins hope to join the Ministry of Magic and participate as a member of the magic government in a stage dominated by human wizards.
Sensible.
"So, do you have any questions? If not, please follow the Gringotts Night Manager from Armenia -"
Elena looked happily at the wizards around her and nodded to the goblin manager in the corner.
"Remember to provide that price list to all of you gentlemen. To show our sincerity, the first experience of each project tonight is free."
"Okay, Your Majesty the Queen." The goblin manager stood up respectfully and replied.
"Gentlemen, please come with me - the teleportation hall of Gringotts Wizarding Bank is over here..."
As the goblin manager stood up, the gray-white mist and Elena's figure gradually dissipated like morning mist under the sun.
Obviously, tonight's agenda ends here, and then it's time for the battle at the Ministry of Magic.
"London, Paris, Athens, Rome, Istanbul... A total of eleven Gringotts branches' transmission channels are ready. At the same time, we have also prepared free coffee and refreshing potions for you. If necessary, we can also send it to the local
Gringotts Wizarding Bank temporarily rents several goblin guards as temporary mercenaries to participate in the battle. This is our Gringotts Wizarding Bank price list. You can refer to it..."
The middle-aged goblin introduced it enthusiastically while stuffing a dozen pieces of paper that looked like leaflets into the hands of the wizards.
"This is..." The French Minister of Magic looked curiously at the menu-like price list in his hand.
"Her Majesty the Queen issues a unified pricing list to each branch. This is Gringotts' exclusive service."
"Free for the first time?" Amelia Bones pushed up her monocle.
"Yes." The goblin manager was stunned for half a second and replied respectfully, with a look of pain on his face, "But only tonight."
It seems that the goblin is very sincere this time. Noticing the pained expression of the middle-aged goblin, the officials from the Ministry of Magic of various countries quietly exchanged meaningful glances, followed the goblin forward, and began to look at him carefully.
That “limited time free” purchase list in your hand.
There is a rare opportunity to make money from the misers like Gringotts, and they don't want to miss this opportunity easily.
…………
at the same time.
London, Diagon Alley.
Gringotts Wizarding Bank Head Office.
Elena stretched her body, looked at the goblins with different expressions surrounding her, and waved her hands casually.
"If you have any confusion, please tell me. I didn't call you here tonight to let you watch a show. The future of Gringotts Wizarding Bank and the Goblins has been paved. I hope all doubts will end tonight.
… They should not be there when the sun comes up tomorrow.”
"Understood." Gary Victor swallowed, nodded vigorously, and replied with a fearful look on his face.
Elena ignored the listening assistant and continued calmly.
"The future of goblins is in the wizarding world, in finance, with numbers and calculations, but not just with currencies."
"If you still don't understand, let me put it more bluntly. Goblins will become a brand new race of humans, rather than a species independent of the social environment gathered under the concept of 'human'. If I
If I remember correctly, mixed-blood fairies do exist, right?"
"You mean, you mean-"
Douglas suddenly took a breath of cold air and looked at Elena in disbelief.
"This is so crazy. You are challenging the most ancient rules of the civilized world...whether fairies or humans..."
He vaguely guessed the thoughts of the foreign queen, but with his current knowledge, he was still unable to judge whether this matter was right or wrong.
Elena raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said lightly:
