Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Just like the current dragon raising industry in the British magic world, in the country of his previous life, it was also suppressed and blocked by foreign companies.

From agricultural and animal husbandry products to energy and mineral products, from high-tech chips to small milk box packaging, all aspects have been influenced by foreign monopoly groups. These companies that developed first have set up heavy barriers to gain monopoly High profits in business.

They formed industrial alliances, formulated various standards, restricted patent authorization, and even maliciously lowered prices, raised raw material prices, and supported comprador companies.

As far as this information is concerned, it is just the tip of the iceberg that he has seen from the Internet. Among them, the real intrigue and behind-the-scenes confrontation are even more unknown.

It is not surprising that Malfoy does not understand these principles, but Clark wants to promote Hogwarts raising dragons, so he naturally conducts a detailed investigation of the current status of the entire British dragon raising industry.

And when he saw those materials, combined with some information he saw from the Internet in his previous life, he had a pretty good understanding of the key points in the entire British dragon breeding industry chain.

After all, the way of thinking of capital greed is the same, whether you are a wizard or a Muggle.

"If these four big families want to set aside the dragon-raising families in Eastern Europe and establish their own, then they will have to face several problems."

Clark began to popularize this knowledge to the four people present, because these problems will also be encountered by them.

"First of all, as I have said before, it is necessary to apply for a dragon breeding license issued by the Department of Magical Creatures of the British Ministry of Magic.

To apply for this certificate, you have to have a huge dragon farm, and the dragon families in Romania lobbied many countries in the world in the name of protecting the living environment of dragons and improving the quality of life of dragons ten years ago. The country adopts their production standards for the construction of dragon farms.

The standard stipulates that a small dragon farm with one to three giant dragons must cover an area of ​​no less than forty square kilometers, which is equivalent to a quarter of Hogwarts.

And each dragon also needs to be equipped with a professional dragon trainer. It should be noted that these dragon trainers need to undergo special training in Romania and obtain a qualification certificate.

In addition, the entire dragon farm also needs to be covered with a large-scale Muggle banishing spell, with a deposit of no less than two thousand galleons... There are countless terms and conditions. Depending on the type of dragon, the requirements of the venue are also different. same. "

The cumbersome terms and regulations made Harry and Hagrid dizzy, and only Hermione and Malfoy listened with gusto.

"A standard dragon farm will cost at least seven to eight thousand Galleons." Clark made a quick estimate based on the current prices, and then gave a rough estimate.

"But that's just the beginning!"

"As long as it's a problem that can be solved by Galleons, it's actually not a problem. The business of the four major families has accumulated huge wealth. It's only seven or eight thousand Galleons, and they can still get it out."

Clark stretched out his finger and shook it, "But it's not enough just to have a dragon farm, you have to have a giant dragon."

The four of Harry turned their heads to look at Norbert who was huddled in the corner.

"Nowadays, there are not many wild dragons in the world. It is difficult for these ferocious big guys to hide in front of the increasingly active Muggles alone, so most of them hide in secret protection areas set up by the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

And if you want to tame a giant dragon, you have to start from the hatching of the dragon egg. The wizarding world has not yet invented cloning magic.

Therefore, the Romanian dragon raising family took advantage of the monopoly to establish the best dragon breeding farm in the world, and they are the only ones who have the most complete variety of dragon egg banks.

The blood of the fire dragon is very powerful, but the corresponding reproductive capacity is very low. If two or three fire dragons are together, it may not be possible to give birth to a dragon egg in more than ten years.

Only Romania's fire dragon habitat is relatively special, which can improve the success rate of fire dragon eggs and hatching.

Therefore, many small dragon farms often need to buy dragon eggs or hatched young dragons from Romanian dragon families.

Not to mention that the British Ministry of Magic has listed dragon eggs as a Class A trade product, prohibiting import and export, even if they apply to the government to import and purchase, those dragon raising families in Eastern Europe can't decide whether to sell them or not. "

Hearing this, Hermione showed a puzzled expression on her face. She seemed to have thought of something wrong. She was about to ask, but saw Clark's eyes, so she obediently closed her mouth.

"But if there are only these restrictions, it's actually okay. After all, there are still one or two private dragon farms in the UK that have applied for a dragon breeding license. The key is to maintain and make profits after the dragon farm is established."

"Make money? With a dragon farm, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money? You just said that this is a big business involving hundreds of thousands of Galleons. If you find it difficult, you can leave this matter to us The family will handle it." Malfoy interrupted with a look of disdain.

Clark gave him a cold look, with a threatening expression, "Shut up! Listen to me, if you don't want to participate, you can go out now."

After being stared at by him, Malfoy resolutely complied, and raised his hands in surrender. He hasn't got the dragon yet, so he can't just leave like this.

"Hagrid, you've been feeding Norbert recently, isn't it expensive?" Clark looked at Hagrid again.

Hagrid nodded hurriedly. Although he had only been fed for less than a week, his purse was obviously becoming embarrassing.

"A juvenile fire dragon eats as much as a mature lion. It eats ten kilograms of fresh meat for a meal. But it only eats one meal a day. Calculated in this way, it can eat more than 300 kilograms of fresh meat a month. Meat.

There is no large-scale animal husbandry in the wizarding world, and magic cannot produce food, so these fresh meats have to be purchased from the Muggle society. According to Muggle prices, a kilogram of pork costs five pounds, and five pounds is in the Gringotts happens to be able to exchange for one Gold Galleon. "

"Ah! That dragon would cost three hundred gold Galleons to eat for a month!"

Hermione's mental calculation was so fast that she almost blurted out, while Harry was still counting with his fingers.

Malfoy was also taken aback by the price. Although he hasn't participated in the family business yet, he knows that their family's monthly income is almost a little more than this figure.

From this point of view, the cost of adopting a dragon in Romania is not too much for their family.

"That's more than that, adult dragons eat more."

Clark shook his head.

"And what you count is only the cost of feeding, because the bones and scales of giant dragons are very hard, so they have to add a little precious metal minerals and some magic materials during the growth period, which is also a big expense .”

"Then how do the dragon farms in Romania do it?" Malfoy forgot Clark's warning just now, and asked curiously, "I remember their side, but they raised dozens of fire dragons."
