Connor's Hogwarts
Chapter 502 The eldest son of the Lake family
The Lloyds Building, completed a few years ago, has now become a landmark building in the City of London.
This steel behemoth with a "steampunk" style is well-known in London today.
But what few people know is that this building has actually changed owners not long ago. Today, the Lloyd Building belongs to the Lake Group, which mainly engages in the cosmetics business, but also likes to do the newspaper business.
As for how the little-known Lake Group developed in just two years to the point where it was able to establish a foothold in the City of London, the story could probably be written into a business war novel with several million words.
The apparent head of the Lake Group, Mr. Charles Lake, has become a hot topic among financial street elites. After all, it is no secret that this gentleman was a down-and-out writer two years ago.
People are even more curious about the Lake family behind it, but it's a pity that they can't find any clues.
Similarly, they are even less likely to know that the Lloyd Building, which represents mankind's fantasy of future technology, has been completely transformed inside, in a very unscientific way.

"Connor, I heard that you made friends with that little princess from the Windsor family?"
"Camila, when you face your nephew whom you haven't seen for a long time, can you only think of asking such boring gossip?"
"Don't be shy~ I am your aunt here at the same age. If I am happy, I might be able to teach you some tips on how to please your girlfriend~"
".I do not need."
Connor pushed away his aunt Camilla, who was trying to hook up with him, and looked out the window. What he saw was the busy city of London.
At this time, Connor was standing on the top floor of Lloyds Building. Although this building is not known for its height, it is enough to overlook the city of London today.
"I thought when my family said they bought a building, they meant buying a new shop in Diagon Alley." Connor looked at the scenery outside the window with a complicated mood.
"Haha! I didn't expect it! I asked my sister not to tell you yet! Are you surprised?" Camilla finally managed to put her arms around Connor's neck and said with a hearty smile:
"This is the building that belongs to us wizards! The shabby house of yours, that one of Am or Lang, is a bit inferior! I spent a lot of money to invite the master of space magic from the United States to design and renovate it in person!"
"Do you know that the Magical Congress of the United States of America is the Magical Congress built in the Woolworth Building? This is the same design as that one! Isn't it cool!"
"." Connor had to admit that the [Lake Building] renovated by Camilla was in line with his wishes.
The Lake Building, which was converted from a Muggle building, is a composite space based on the original building. If you enter through the main entrance normally, you will arrive at the newly moved Lake Company headquarters, but if you walk through the magic door, Entering another magical high-rise building.
The two spaces that overlap each other and do not interfere with each other are the kind of very advanced space magic that requires several wizards to cast spells together.
The Magical Congress of the United States, Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, and the Room of Requirement are all architectural structures that use this technology. If you think about it carefully, the things wizards can do are really outrageous.
The place where Connor is standing now is on the roof of the Lake Building. The spatial location coincides with the president's office in Lloyd Building, so what he sees out the window is the city view of London.
It was only at this time that Connor had a real feeling: "It turns out that I am the kind of big capitalist who stands on the roof of a skyscraper and looks out the window at the night view of the city and sips red wine."
Connor's thoughts unknowingly experienced a change from "I know my family is rich" to "So my family is so rich."
To be honest, Connor has lived in the wizarding world since he was a child, and his concept of money in the Muggle world is very vague. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had become the kind of child from a rich family that he once envied. Yes.
Although Connor himself was not very concerned about making money in the Muggle world, he only provided the principal (a by-product of Weasley's potions) and ideas (to create comics, newspapers and magazines), but his teammates were so awesome that Ciel Apparently he has some talent in business, and he got rich accidentally.
Thinking about it this way, it's weird to think that I can live up to my status as a rich second generation in the Muggle world.
"Okay, what are you going to do when grandpa asked me to follow you? It can't be just for chatting here, right?"
Connor sighed. As expected, on the second day of Christmas vacation, he was assigned to work as Camilla's follower.
I thought that I was just an innocent and romantic boy who was not yet 15 years old, but he was forced to enter the adult world, to understand the cruelty of this world, and to peek into the filth of this society. Is all this a distortion of human nature or morality? of depravity
"You brat!" Camilla clamped Connor's neck and ruthlessly poked his hair:
"It's better to come and play with me than to sit motionless at home, right? Why is this energetic young man hiding at home all day long? Don't waste your youth by relying on your youth, and if you don't exercise for too long, you will gain weight!"
"I have to exercise well every day, okay." Connor struggled feebly. What he meant by exercise was of course his ancestral "immortal cultivation" method. He had always had the two Chinese magic spells left by the cheap dad. For those who insist on "cultivation", although the effect is not very ideal (referring to the fantasy of cultivating to become an immortal), the health-preserving effect of strengthening the body is indeed great.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's get down to business."
Camila let go of Connor, and while adjusting his collar, she said: "Now I am in charge of the export business of our products, you know this, right?"
"so what"
Nowadays, the Lake family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and the most important market is no longer the British land. Camilla's ability is stronger than Flora and Elena, and her grandfather is also very relieved to put the most important things in the market. Leave all the work to her.
"Do you know how busy I am every day? I have to meet this and that every day, and I fly around the world from time to time. I finally come back for a holiday, and I still have a bunch of documents to approve! I'm fed up with this kind of life!"
Camilla yelled and cursed first, describing herself as a kind of social animal with a 007 working system, and was sold badly. When Connor showed a speechless expression, she solemnly patted Connor on the shoulder and said :
"So, Connor, it's only right that you come and help your poor aunt, right?"
"." Connor pressed his eyebrows vigorously in an attempt to filter out this pile of useless junk information, "Am I just sent to be your follower?"
"So Connor, you agreed to help, right? A child as good as Connor will definitely solve everything easily!"
"Can't you just assign me tasks directly? Why go around so much? Can I still not help?"
"Great! I knew nothing would be difficult for you Connor!" Camilla clapped her hands together and smiled brightly.
Connor instinctively realized something was wrong, as if something bad was about to happen, but he had no way out.
Camilla took Connor's hand and walked out of the room, and said happily: "There will be a small cocktail party downstairs tonight. Connor and I will attend on behalf of the Lake family. Connor, you must perform well. Our Whether you make more money from your business or not depends entirely on you~"
"No, later, you want me to help you negotiate business? I'm not good at this."
Camilla smiled mysteriously: "No, no, no, just leave the business discussions to me. Connor, just listen and study."
"Then me."
"Connor, your mission is to get rid of the daughters of those big bosses!"
"?"
"Those magic tycoons from all over the world who came here with their daughters and sisters are here for you, Connor. I heard that most of them are your female fans, Connor."
"??"
"There are also some aunties who like you, Connor. I'd like to trouble you, Connor, to deal with them. It would be best if you can charm them! Our family will definitely make a lot of money!"
"???"
"There's no need for you to sacrifice your appearance, Connor. It's just for fun. Your little girlfriend won't have any objections, right?"
"...Can I not go? I suddenly remembered that I still have a few important experiments that I haven't done yet."
"No - no! Connor, you just agreed so simply, how can you go back on your word?!"
"."
We still don't know what happened during the Christmas vacation before Connor's birthday.
