After completing a series of discussions, it was noon. Ryan and the others declined Professor Dumbledore's lunch invitation and left Hogwarts Castle together. After all, for Ryan and the others, there was a large financial transaction to be made.
Completed. Before completing this transaction, it is estimated that everyone involved in the transaction will have little appetite for food now.
Soon they arrived at the door of the United Wizards Bank of Britain in Hogsmeade, but the bustling crowd at the door really surprised Ryan and Mrs. Bones: there were many people at the door of the three-story building built of creamy yellow marble, and there were even some
The impatient wizard raised his money bag above his head and waved it with a clanking sound.
"Uncle Dosu, what are they doing here?" Hermione asked curiously, looking at the group of wizards who were arranged to queue up by two bank clerks in front of her. "Why are there so many people queuing up at the entrance of the bank? There are people inside the bank.
What attracts them?"
"Today this should be the first batch of public bonds issued by the Chinese Alchemy Federation in the UK, but I didn't expect so many people to buy it." Xiong Duosu stretched out his paws and scratched his ears and said. "Of course I think this is possible.
It's because Gringotts in the UK only provided financial custody services to most ordinary wizards in the past, so wizards in the UK often lacked sufficient investment channels. And our batch of public bonds just releases this consumer desire."
"When we issued the British Ministry of Magic bonds before, there were never so many people queuing here." Ms. Bones's voice sounded from the side. "Because most of the staff of the Ministry of Magic now come from the Muggle world.
So after many people discovered that the Ministry of Magic was short of money, they directly negotiated to contact banks to issue our public bonds, but very few people bought them."
"How could this happen?" Ryan turned his head and looked at Ms. Bones and asked curiously. Although he knew that very few people had bought bonds in the past few times, he didn't know why the Ministry of Magic would directly give up issuing bonds to the public this time.
Plan to raise money instead of borrowing it directly from yourself.
"Because the reputation of the Ministry of Magic is really bad now." Ms. Bones smiled bitterly. "Especially after losing the Ministry of Magic in London, even with the full help of you and Professor Dumbledore, everyone still lacks confidence in us.
.”
"As you know, we almost didn't sell the public bonds in the past few times. In the end, we relied on your generous donation to solve the problem. But this time, we are not optimistic about the 20-year public bonds, so we can just borrow money directly from you.
Already."
"Seriously, Ms. Bones. We in China are actually very interested in the public debt of the British wizarding community, but you have given us too many restrictions, so we can only give up." Xiong Duosu said with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
the voice said.
"Of course I know you are indeed friendly, especially in our darkest moments, you were the only one who clearly supported us." Ms. Bones quickly reassured the panda man, "But you have to know, this is
Bonds issued by the Ministry of Magic. We really can't allow foreigners to interfere too much in this area, as this is related to the independence of the British Ministry of Magic."
"Of course, I can understand this." Xiong Duosu nodded, and Hermione asked through the Phoenix Brand. "Ryan, why does the Ministry of Magic allow you to take over the debt alone? They are not worried that you will control it.
The Ministry of Magic."
"They can definitely guess this. There are so many people in the Ministry of Magic who can't be so stupid that they can't see this danger." Ryan also answered through the Phoenix brand, "But what can they do?"
Then while following Xiong Duosu and the others into the bank, Ryan explained to Hermione: "Don't forget my age and magic level, plus the followers we have in this war and more people who have a good impression of us.
Man. Professor Dumbledore, the only person in the British wizarding world who can compete with me in terms of strength, is over 100 years old after all. If I really want to control the Ministry of Magic, who do you think can stop me?"
"So, the British wizarding community simply chooses to believe in your character?" Hermione paused for a moment, then continued walking forward. "That's right, anyway, wizards of your level can always lead a country's wizarding community.
It belongs to his era. And you have not shown any anti-human and anti-social tendencies. For the British wizarding world, after Professor Dumbledore, it is very likely to belong to your era, regardless of whether you give it to the Ministry of Magic or not.
This is the case with borrowing money, so they simply took the money without fear."
After bypassing the door and entering through the small door dedicated to the staff on the side, Ryan and the others were taken to the reception room by a staff member. Xiong Guangcai was already sitting on the sofa waiting for them. After seeing them enter, he took out a series of
The files were placed on the table.
"All the documents for the equity transfer are here." Xiong Guangcai said, "Of course, in addition to the documents for the equity transfer, there are also standard documents available here that can be used to sign the loan documents of the Ministry of Magic."
"Ah, thank you!" Ms. Bones took the file and sat down, then took out a pair of glasses from her robe and put them on. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the reception room, and Percy and another person passed by the joke shop.
Henry Baker, a muck wizard who joined the Ministry of Magic after training, walked in one after the other with a briefcase under his arm.
"Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Baker, nice to meet you." After the two Ministry of Magic staff greeted everyone in the room, Ms. Bones asked them to sit down, and then said, "Okay.
Now, come here and take a look at these contracts to make sure they accurately express our meaning and avoid any misunderstandings."
"Understood, Minister Bones." After receiving the order, the two Ministry of Magic staff immediately sat down at the table, then picked up the documents on the table and read them carefully. Ten minutes later, they raised their heads together, "The documents
No problem."
"That's good." Ms. Bones nodded, took out a quill from the ink bottle on the table, signed her name at the end of the document, and handed it to Ryan. After signing, Ryan added
He handed the pen and paper to Xiong Duosu. After everyone signed, Xiong Duosu lit a candle and melted the paint.
Soon the fire paint melted, and everyone added a copy of the fire paint to the contract with the seal they brought. However, except for Ryan's personal seal, the other two parties used it to represent the bank and the Ministry of Magic.
's official seal.
"Okay, now the Ministry of Magic is the largest shareholder of this bank." Xiong Duosu carefully checked the signatures and seals and said, "As the largest shareholder, you have the right to appoint the bank's manager and an executive deputy manager.
.”
"We don't plan to change the manager in a short time." Ms. Bones said, because the Ministry of Magic does not have the manpower to fill this position, and they feel that they have taken away too much from the Pandaren.
Things, so not changing the manager now is also a kind of compensation for those who have always supported the forces of the Ministry of Magic.
"As for the current deputy manager of the bank," Ms. Bones thought for a moment and said, "now Crouch has been released after serving his sentence. His age is still some distance from retirement, but he can return to work in the Ministry of Magic.
It’s not appropriate. I think we can let him come over and be the executive deputy manager.”
Ryan felt that Ms. Bones's choice was very good. After all, as a person who once had great hope of obtaining the position of Minister of Magic, Old Crouch must be impeccable in terms of ability. At the same time, his serious and somewhat rigid character is also very good.
It is indeed suitable to be a bank supervisor sent by the Ministry of Magic.
As for the previous case, it can be said that there were extenuating circumstances, and he had already accepted the punishment. So after Ms. Burns announced this candidate, Lane and the others agreed to this arrangement.
"I wish our business will prosper in the future." After handling all the matters, Xiong Duosu smiled and blessed everyone, "May Zhao Gongming protect us."
