If we start from the disintegration of the Soviet Union, then the span of the entire event is actually more than half a century. This is a long and complicated non-magical political upheaval, and the matter of the Hogwarts mortgage also involves
The decline of an ancient pure-blood family, I don’t know how much history and character relationships are involved.
At this moment, there are still billions of people outside who are being affected by this. After leverage, the capital exceeds hundreds of billions of dollars, and they are still trapped in the quagmire of financial war and cannot escape. Among them are goblins and Muggles.
our.
If such a huge financial system was manipulated by Leos, who had participated in the establishment of the First French Empire, the Gringotts Council of Elders would be extremely shocked, but it would not be completely incomprehensible.
However, until this time, when they finally thought they had found the mastermind behind the scenes and saw clearly the key traitor who plotted to overthrow Gringotts Wizarding Bank and control the lifeline and direction of the goblin family, they were about to compromise...
The other party actually said in an understatement that the real careerist is a little girl who has just turned eleven?!
The old chief elf raised his head and looked at Douglas, with a ridiculous expression on his face.
"you……"
"Ahem, Your Excellency Chief Elder, please be careful with your words..."
Douglas looked at the Great Elf of Gringotts, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said seriously with a solemn expression.
"Following the advice of Elder Leos, I suggest that you address the eldest lady as Her Majesty the Supreme Fairy Queen when she arrives. Otherwise, although you may not necessarily die, you will definitely experience a recovery process that is more terrifying than death.
——If we calculate the time, the trial at Hogwarts is about to reach its final stage, and the eldest lady should be arriving at Gringotts soon."
"...She was also the one who planned the Hogwarts public trial, right?"
"um, yes."
As if he had finally entered the script that Douglas was expecting, the middle-aged goblin nodded sincerely. His voice did not rise, but in the ears of the goblins it sounded like a loud sound made by hitting metal.
"Elder Leos was the first to realize this. At that time, their main focus was on how to make a small fortune from the disintegration of the former Soviet Union. However, since they realized that there were hidden dangers in Gringotts' capital chain, and
After choosing to enter the game hastily in order to fight against the American goblin Gringotts, the eldest lady saw the possibility of completely eating Gringotts."
Douglas spoke calmly, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.
"Even without the intervention of the Council of Elders in the Venture Capital Department, these plans would not have changed much. As Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which exists based on the trust of depositors, the attribute of being 100% controlled by goblins is really bad.
——Humankind’s distrust of us is stronger than that of any bank in the world.”
"So... you want to say that this is an investment that fully complies with the fairy code?"
Chief Elder Gloin grinned, showing his yellowed teeth, and asked in a hoarse voice.
An atmosphere of absurdity enveloped the entire marble hall of Gringotts Wizarding Bank. As a small group of people who are the most outstanding in the field of goblin finance, if they can infer from the results now, they can easily understand what Douglas Rice said.
talk.
Even as to why Leos chose to betray, and how they have failed step by step these days, these contents now seem to be changing from absurd to reasonable with the appearance of Douglas and the simple explanation of the middle-aged goblin.
“That’s right, when losses are inevitable, the best thing to do is not to hold on or stop losses immediately, but to find ways to change your position and actively stand on the side of the winner to ensure that your own interests will not be divided due to division.
And damaged.”
Douglas answered in a matter-of-fact tone, took out a piece of parchment and glanced at it.
"Hogwarts can provide financial support for Gringotts Wizarding Bank by purchasing equity in cash. The total amount is converted into gold galleons, about 750 million... used to purchase the invalid Salazar Slater.
Lin’s land deed, and 70% of the equity of Gringotts Wizarding Bank, including but not limited to coinage rights, personnel appointment rights, daily operation rights and other rights.”
"As I entrusted the guard to convey before, this is not a business cooperation that can be negotiated. The only right Gringotts Wizarding Bank has is to agree or refuse. And if Gringotts chooses to refuse, then this parchment
The above content is a proposal for the reorganization of Gringotts... Of course, the equity ratio will be slightly adjusted..."
The goblins looked at the former head of the venture capital department in disbelief. They were unable to formulate the appropriate words to reply to Douglas. Douglas was not in a hurry. After reading the content on the parchment, he continued to open it.
I studied the Muggle scholar's paper on the counter carefully.
After a while, Gloin took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth.
"It seems that Miss Elena Kaslana thinks that Gringotts is already hers, right?"
Douglas frowned, shook his head first and then nodded.
"Well, how should I put it? My authority is only to explain... The specific content cannot be determined until the eldest lady arrives. But your statement is correct. From the current point of view, Gringotts will be hers sooner or later.
"
Gloin's cheek twitched hard and he stared at the parchment in Douglas's hand.
"So, Mr. Chief Financial Officer, when the young lady arrives later, is there anything we need to pay attention to?"
"You can agree to whatever the eldest lady says." Douglas suggested sincerely, "In this way, the eldest lady will be in a better mood, the handover will be more efficient, and too much time will not be wasted."
"She's just a ten-year-old girl. Who knows what kind of requests she will make?"
"Well, as far as I know, he is already eleven years old now. As for the requirements, no matter what, they will not exceed the assets owned by Gringotts Wizarding Bank. As long as the attitude is correct, they can definitely be met...
"
"...Even the entire Gringotts Wizarding Bank?!"
"Yes, that's true."
The two goblins looked at each other for a long time, and the coldness and sarcasm on Gloin's face became more intense. Douglas, on the other hand, had a serious expression, as if he was a primary school student answering the teacher's question, without any hint of joking.
"Crazy, you're crazy...are you under the wizard's Imperius Curse?"
After a moment, Gloin took a deep breath again, "Do you know what the entire Gringotts Wizarding Bank means? It's not just the marble hall in front of you, nor is it just the pile of stone underground.
A treasury of magic.”
"Of course I understand. In fact, Tianming Group has already prepared in advance to take over some industries."
Douglas smiled slightly, tapped his fingers rhythmically on the counter, and answered calmly.
"For example, all the popular shops in the former Soviet Union, the heavy industrial enterprises of the former Soviet Union acquired by Gringotts' people, those Muggle commercial banks controlled by Gringotts in the non-magical world, during the two Muggle wars, the British
, war bonds issued by France, Germany and other European countries, well, of course there are thousands of goblin clerks in Gringotts including the Venture Capital Department, as well as the wizards and Muggle employees they contact..."
boom!
Before Douglas could finish speaking, Gloin grabbed the crutch in his hand and slapped it hard on a nearby wooden counter, making a loud noise and looking at the "betrayer" in front of him with a ferocious face.
"Douglas! You shameful traitor! Do you want to put the future of the goblins and Gringotts into the hands of human wizards?! Do you want the goblins to become the next house elves?!"
"All...should not be so." Douglas replied calmly, "Perhaps there will be a relatively large power reorganization and organizational structure adjustment in the non-magical world's business, but for a long time, the financial foundation of the magical world will still be
We goblins are here to do the accounting. Among human wizards, talents in mathematics and economics are very scarce, especially in fields such as auditing and accounting that require time to accumulate. The advantages of goblins are still irreplaceable..."
"Bullshit!" Gloin roared angrily, "Do you really think Gringotts has no way out?! Just because of the small difficulty of a run? The difficulties that Gringotts Wizarding Bank has experienced for thousands of years...
…”
"But it has never been like this, which has damaged the foundation of the bank."
Douglas calmly interrupted the old goblin's roar, stood up and looked down at Gloin.
"In the final analysis, a bank is a business dealing with credit and operating risks. If depositors do not trust the bank, then the foundation of this business will be shaken. No bank can withstand simultaneous withdrawals from all depositors. This is not what we have discussed
Have you solved the problem? Faced with a run, Gringotts has no way out..."
"Gringotts can release the original contract to divert attention, and mobilize everyone to raise gold to fill the loopholes..."
Gloin said through gritted teeth, with the last hint of ferocity in his eyes.
"Yes, this is the method I just told you..."
"So you continue to incite people to run on Gringotts. Even if you can empty Gringotts, as long as the scam over there cannot be sustained, the gold will eventually come back. What's more, by that time, Hogg
Watts and the little witch who signed the contract must first find a way to explain it to the angry wizards, right?"
"Sigh... You seem to only remember the previous part. Didn't I also say that these roads have been blocked?" Douglas glanced at Gloin and sighed helplessly.
.
"Well, you are right. In fact, the shop in Knockturn Alley was closed this morning."
"In order to complete the attack on Gringotts Wizarding Bank as quickly as possible, the eldest lady adjusted the rate of return to an almost crazy value - the wizards didn't have much savings to begin with, and the 600 million gold galleons were almost gone before they were even used up.
It's really terrible to pry away the wealth of the entire magical world. Guess where this anger may eventually break out?"
