"...Anyway, thank you very much for supporting my proposal, Mr. President!"
Elena put away the signed parchment contract on the table and said happily.
"I have estimated that the minimum manpower required for the current business scope is about ten to fifteen people. Since the work of each association has not officially started, the actual situation cannot be determined yet - in my mind, the four associations
It is better for middle-level personnel to be separated from the beginning and not to have too many situations where the same person holds multiple positions."
The magic world has a huge gap in terms of industry systems, and it can almost be said to be in a state of complete barbarism and disorder.
However, in the initial stage, Elena did not intend to completely set up the framework at once.
On the one hand, this is because the system in the non-magical world is applied to the magical world. In terms of feasibility and specific details, it still requires a lot of time and practice to test and correct. On the other hand, the primitive accumulation of capital will eventually be somewhat
bloody.
Faced with such a completely undefended blank field, it is necessary to seize market share first, use the gaps where rules have not been established to quickly grow the snowball into an unstoppable avalanche, and then in turn formulate rules to clarify the boundaries of various behaviors.
This is the most correct approach - most rules will only be gradually improved after flaws are discovered.
Whether it's the Quidditch game or the research field, they are all very similar in this regard.
"The Society for the Protection of Magical Creatures, the Society for the Protection of Magical Creatures, the Association for the Safety of Magical Creatures Products, and the Council for the Supervision of Magical Creatures, a total of four organizations, respectively involved in nature conservation, academic research, commercial development, and political response.
Elena licked her fingers and explained patiently one by one.
"In view of the fact that industry standards have not been established yet, and social recognition will take some time to ferment, your next work focus will mainly be on the first two, which is what you are good at. As for the remaining two, I will hand them over for the time being.
Leave it to Professor Dumbledore and me. The regulation of the commercial market needs to promote legislation, and legislation needs to be negotiated with the Ministry of Magic of various countries..."
"..."
Newt Scamander pursed his lips and hesitated to speak.
In fact, he actually saw something fishy hidden in the part that the girl didn't finish.
The real subtlety lies in commercialization and politics!
No matter which world we are in, economic interests are always the most dangerous piece of cake.
It is even more difficult to try to formulate rules for cutting cakes, and to negotiate with the Ministry of Magic in so many different countries and regions to get them to be willing to support such a seemingly thankless charity!
Even Albus Dumbledore may not have that much influence after leaving Europe.
However, after hesitating for a while, Newt did not say this out loud.
Anyway, these are issues that Elena Kaslana needs to consider. For him, as long as he can get enough support from Gringotts and the magical world and have the resources to further promote the protection and research of magical animals, it will be enough.
enough.
Moreover, if his reminder makes the little witch realize something in advance, it may have the opposite effect.
In Newt Scamander's view, Elena's radical and forward-thinking ideas are a bit unsettling, but the officials of the Ministry of Magic who frequently shirk the blame and make official remarks are not a vulnerable group worthy of sympathy and protection. Let the two
Go and fight.
"Both the Acromantula Breeding Base and the Fire Dragon Sanctuary are too conspicuous. We should start from some inconspicuous places. Do you think the edible value of the pig monster is higher, or is the commercial value of the deformed lizard easy to enter the market?"
"I don't think any of them are good ideas. I wouldn't choose any of them."
Newt frowned subconsciously and replied angrily.
"Food is the first priority for the people, and physiological needs take precedence over all advanced needs..."
Elena muttered softly to herself, not paying attention to Newt's resisting attitude.
"Pork, this is not a strange type of food. There are already quite a lot of pork varieties in the world. However, magical animal quality pork should still be somewhat different. It grows in an ordinary pig pen, but in
There are some changes on the legs and trunk, which indicates that it may be highly domesticable and edible..."
"This kind of dwarf pig monster is very suitable for research as a specialty of animal husbandry in the magical world!"
Elena can only make a rough guess for the time being. As for whether it can be cultivated on a large scale and whether it is delicious or not, it still depends on the results.
But from your current perspective, this research selection should be more suitable.
At least for both the wizarding world and Newt, studying dwarf pig monsters, which are common but not of much value or danger, will not cause too many objections, and they are not cute either.
Moreover, pork is quite common on people's dining tables. Even if they knew it was a pig monster, it would be okay.
The only problem is that this kind of dwarf pig monster may not be so easy to drive away and keep in captivity...
"Originating from rural America, fear of big white dogs..."
Elena thought thoughtfully, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "The three-headed hell dog in its adult state should be enough to deter most magical animals? If the pig monster is afraid of even ordinary white hounds, then it is even less necessary.
Talk about Lu Wei”
Newt Scamander's cheeks twitched and he remained silent.
Elena took a closer look at the expression of the magical beast master next to her and smiled with satisfaction.
"That should be correct. Magical creatures should be dealt with with magical creatures. Sure enough, it can be like this..."
"No one has ever tried this..."
Newt Scamander said dullly.
Regarding the domestication of magical animals, most of them are indeed not that simple.
However, Elena obviously chose a very difficult target. The trouble with the dwarf pig monsters is mainly its destructive power on the farm and its speed. In terms of rapid growth and feeding, they are much more powerful than ordinary domestic pigs.
.
The three-headed hell dog, which exists as an ancient war weapon, is too easy to frighten a group of dwarf pig monsters.
The smile on Elena's face became even brighter.
"Mr. Newt, those long-legged pigs you raise...well..."
After seeing Newt's sudden change of expression, Elena suddenly changed the subject and asked with a chuckle.
"This magical dwarf pig monster should be a type of magical animal sold legally, right? A non-banned type?"
"Yes, it does not fall into the category of prohibited transactions."
"Since you are so good in the field of magical animals, you should know where to buy pig monsters, right?"
Newt Scamander curled his lips, turned his eyes away from Elena's eyes.
"I don't know, I haven't bought a magical animal in a long time!"
"You're really not good at lying!"
Elena raised the corners of her mouth, and her eyes shone with a coquettish and lovely light.
"Gringotts Wizarding Bank is very rich, you know it! However, the goblins' orders are usually rough. Once the content is released through Gringotts, the purchase amount must at least meet the bank's status... even if it is the lowest order
, at least nearly a hundred trading applications will be received, and this disordered trading market can easily cause a lot of trouble."
Newt Scamander tilted his head slightly.
Elena raised her finger, shook it slightly, and said meaningfully.
"Large-scale orders for the acquisition of magical animals are not common, and wizards cannot control the completion status of the orders, which means that a considerable amount of hoarding and waste will occur every time... For example, if I announce now that I will acquire five
From ten pig monsters, five hundred pig monsters may be captured and sent over, and the remaining four hundred and fifty will..."
"Stop! That's enough!"
Newt Scamander took a breath and said in a low voice.
"I remembered, I have a few friends who work at the Ministry of Magic, and they happen to be responsible for expelling the pig monsters that appear in the non-magical world. They should have a lot of pig monster information there! You can just go to them directly to cooperate and purchase.
!”
He finally felt the horror of the "money power" in Elena's words.
And what the girl has been emphasizing before is the safety supervision association of the magical animal products trading market and the corresponding market rules and regulations. In a market with blurred boundaries, even legal transactions will become sins.
He already vaguely knew what Elena was about to say.
However, he had no intention of seeking confirmation from the girl's mouth.
Over the years, apart from Gringotts, sporadic acquisitions of magical animals have always existed, whether it was wand shops like Ollivander's, those potion material shops in Diagon Alley, or individual wizards who did not have a shop.
.
In the magical world, there are not many opportunities to make extra money.
And hunting those magical animals that are not dangerous is undoubtedly the safest and fastest way!
With decades of experience in protecting magical animals, Newt initially thought he was just fending off poachers, but as time went by, he finally realized that what he was fighting against was the material needs that the entire magical world was generating all the time.
It is precisely because of this that Newt resigned from the Ministry of Magic in despair and lived in seclusion without caring about the world.
However, now that Elena appears, everything seems to have taken a new turn.
Newt Scamander softly repeated what Elena just said.
Since it is impossible to completely eliminate and eliminate human demand for magical animals, it is better to increase the artificial sources of magical animals on the one hand, and clarify the supply and demand quantities on the other hand, so as to avoid unnecessary over-hunting.
So, is this one of the ways this little mixed-blood Veela talks about protecting magical animals?
Elena glanced at Newt, knowing that her words had taken effect, she smiled brightly.
"Don't worry, I'm not a wasteful person! Take as much as you need. This is also a philosophy I implement... Otherwise, I won't be able to become the Fairy Queen, right? Gringotts hates waste very much.
.”
Newt Scamander did not comment, but asked in a deep voice.
"So, you won't touch other categories until the pig monster's... um, 'research' is completed?"
"It depends on the situation. I can't completely promise you, because if time and energy allow, I may consider conducting research on one or two species at the same time. However, I estimate that during this period, it will be limited to pig monsters for the time being."
Elena shrugged and said helplessly.
"I only have so much time in a day, and I have to go to the national Quidditch team for training during the day. Unless... you are willing to help me study together? After all, Mr. Scamander should also be interested in this aspect...
…”
"Not interested at all! I still have to pay attention to the [Society for the Protection of Magical Creatures] and the [Society of Magical Creatures]."
Newt replied without hesitation that he would not do such a thing to help others.
Elena nodded and replied casually, "That's okay, you can change your mind at any time anyway. So, please take care of me in the next period of time, respected president, Mr. Chairman."
