Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

That night, Lilith received a reply from her family, and Justus Pilivik helped her make an appointment with Whitehorn, the chairman of Nimbus Company.

He also claimed that Barty Crouch wanted to talk to Nimbus Company about something, and they could visit Whitehorn together tomorrow morning.

How could Lilith, who had been dealing with powerful people since childhood, not understand this kind of rhetoric?

Barty Crouch Sr. was sent by the family to support her.

Early the next morning, Lilith specifically asked Dumbledore for half a day's leave, took Percy and Gemma through the fireplace in the teacher's office, and used Floo powder to go to Diagon Alley.

In the Leaky Cauldron, they met Barty Crouch.

After the two sides met, Lilith and others, led by Old Barty, arrived at the headquarters of Nimbus Company in London.

This is a prosperous building shared with Muggles, similar to the Woolworth Building at MACUSA.

"Little Pilivik, how much do you know about Nimbus Company?"

On the way to Chairman Whitehorn's office, Old Barty thought about Lilith.

"Before coming here, I conducted a detailed investigation on Nimbus Company." Lilith smiled confidently and continued: "Nimbus Company, the full name is Nimbus Racing Broom Company!

It was founded in 1967 by Devlin Whitehorn. Since then, the Whitehorn family has not left the board of directors of Nimbus Company.

Although there is supervision by the board of directors, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a family business.

After more than 20 years of development, it has become a leading broomstick company in the broom industry."

Old Barty nodded approvingly and sighed again, "To be honest, this case is not easy to take. On one side is the leader of the broom industry, and on the other side are Slytherin and Nico Flamel. Little Pilivik, you have

Do you have a plan?"

"Uncle Barty, to tell you the truth, I thought about it all night last night," Lilith rubbed her swollen and sore eyes and muttered, "But who asked Moriarty to leave this matter to me? I

It took a lot of effort to gain his trust.

I can't mess this up, understand?

I want to resolve the contract dispute excellently and handle this matter beautifully."

Lilith clenched her little fists to cheer herself up. A real queen does not need sympathy, she can solve everything!

"Senior Gemma, and Percy." Lilith stood in front of the chairman's office and called back: "Let's go!"

"What about me? You should know that I'm not just here to guide you, right?"

Barty scratched his almost bald forehead.

What should I do if my old boss’s daughter disobeys me? It’s really chilling, and yes, a few more hairs have fallen out!

Lilith firmly rejected Barty's kindness, pushed open two doors covered in black leather, and walked into the office with her chest raised and her head raised.

Gemma and Percy too.

Barty even noticed that Percy's legs were shaking with excitement.

"I wish you good luck." Batty glanced at the boys and girls with envy. He thought of his son... Alas!

Lilith and the other three walked into the office and saw a middle-aged wizard with short gray-brown hair sitting in front of a large desk, looking at them with bright eyes.

"Oh, this must be classmate Lilith, the only daughter of the Pilivik family, right?" The wizard stood up and greeted him with a smile: "I am the current chairman of Nimbus Company, you call me Whitehorn

That’ll be fine.”

"Hello, Mr. Whitehorn."

After the three of them politely greeted each other, Lilith sat down on the chairs opposite Whitehorn.

Her hair is gray-brown, and paired with a tawny wizard robe, she looks honest and honest.

But his nose is pointed and long, and when viewed together with his bright blue eyes, it destroys this honesty and reveals a bit of cunning.

Lilith looked at Whitehorn and analyzed Whitehorn's character through his appearance in order to take the initiative in the negotiation.

"Let's not gossip, Mr. Whitehorn, you must know our purpose," Lilith preemptively said: "We are here on behalf of Moriarty Slytherin and Nico Flamel to terminate our relationship with your company.

Contractual."

Seeing Lilith's businesslike look, Whitehorn stopped pretending to smile. He returned to his true nature as a businessman and said coldly: "This is impossible."

The atmosphere suddenly froze. Lilith leaned back in her chair and looked at Whitehorn. Percy didn't know what to say.

At this time Gemma said: "Are you sure you don't want to think about it anymore? Convene a board meeting to discuss it with shareholders? Such a decision would be too hasty."

"I'm not a new student at Hogwarts, I don't need this...little sister's advice," Whitehorn looked at Gemma and sneered: "I graduated from Hogwarts more than 20 years ago."

"Gemma didn't suggest you," Lilith looked at Whitehorn with a pity look, "To put it bluntly, we all agreed that the decision you made was stupid, but she didn't want to say it out for fear of being shocked.

you."

"madness."

Whitehorn looked pale and nodded noncommittally.

"Let's take a look at the ins and outs of this case: Moriarty Slytherin and Nico Flamel sent the semi-finished product of their new broomstick to my company."

Whitehorn tries to convince Lilith with his theory.

"I make an exception and allow them to invest in shares with technology. If they agree, they will be employees of Nimbus Company.

Every time a broom is sold, they have proposed that all of it be included in the annual salary!

Isn’t that bad?”

Whitehorn spread his hands, looking puzzled.

"Let me ask, if they don't choose Nimbus Company, which company will they choose?

Comet or sweep?

Merlin, I'm not bragging, even Comet and Sideswipe tied together can't compare to Nimbus Company."

"Arrogant!" Percy retorted: "Comet 240 and Sweeping Seven Stars are great!"

His face was flushed with excitement. Although he did not have a broomstick, he had used Charlie's Sweeping Five Stars. That broom accompanied him throughout his childhood.

"Ah~" Whitehorn glanced at Percy and smiled when he saw his red hair, "Children of the Weasley family naturally tend to sweep sideways. Needless to say, I understand! Because you can't afford the light at all.

wheel."

He leaned back triumphantly and leaned on the large back of the chair.

Percy stared at Whitehorn, breathing heavily, but Lilith said calmly, "Mr. Whitehorn, do you think you've got Moriarty and Professor Nicol Flamel?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Whitehorn said haha.

"The contract is clearly written in black and white. After Moriarty and Professor Nico Flamel become technical shareholders, all the results developed will belong to Nimbus Company!

Moreover, Nimbus Company enjoys the priority right to sell these results!

Even now, don’t you still feel that you are being blackmailed?”

Lilith's voice gradually became colder, and she snorted and sneered: "I thought you were a shrewd businessman, but I didn't expect you are actually a fool who loves to dream.

There are many wizards who are greedy for Moriarty's research results, and you are the stupidest one!

Want to monopolize Moriarty's research results with a contract? Merlin wouldn't even dare to think so."

Lilith's eyes looked at Whitehorn with a hint of ridicule and a hint of regret.

This look made him feel uncomfortable, and he frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I must tell you that Moriarty is willing to share new brooms with Nimbus Company, but only new brooms, do you understand?"

Lilith stared at Whitehorn seriously and added in an unquestionable tone: "As for other research results, don't even think about it!"

"Haha," Whitehorn laughed: "Why wouldn't I want to? When it comes to new brooms, Moriarty can only choose me!"

Lilith and the three of them looked at Whitehorn sympathetically as if they had heard a big joke.

"Do you know why Moriarty sent the semi-finished product of the new broom to the Nimbus Company?"

"Of course I know, it's just to whet my appetite so that I can get more Galleons when negotiating the contract, otherwise he would have sent the finished product!" Whitehorn said angrily.

Lilith and the three of them exchanged glances and cried because of his stupidity.

Percy had always been criticized by others for his poor background, and now he had found a punching bag. He laughed exaggeratedly.

"A hundred Nimbus companies combined are not as rich as the Slytherin family!

You actually question Mr. Moriarty's wealth? You're really laughing your ass off Merlin!

Have you ever read Mr. Lockhart’s novels? There is an underground vault in Slytherin Castle, an underground square hundreds of times larger than Gringotts, and it’s full of gold!”

Whitehorn's expression changed, and Lilith took the opportunity to say: "In fact, Moriarty sent the new broom to Nimbus because the World Cup is about to start!"

Lilith thought hard all night yesterday. She still couldn't understand the reason why Moriarty sent the new broom to the Nimbus Company.

Moriarty is so rich and has a lot of wizards willing to work for him.

He could have started his own broom company, but he didn't.

Lilith couldn't figure out the reason until she thought about Moriarty's letter over and over again, and she understood that Moriarty was going to use a new type of broom in the World Cup!

However, time did not allow Moriarty to open a company, make brooms, and mass-produce them.

Right now, only the Nimbus Company can produce a new broom within a week.

Lilith told Whitehorn the reason why Moriarty chose the Nimbus, hoping that Whitehorn could recognize the reality and stay away from Moriarty.

But the greedy Whitehorn immediately became hardened.

He blackmailed Lilith and said that if he didn't give him Moriarty's research results, he would not make a new broom for Moriarty!

Percy and Gemma wanted to cast a curse on Whitehorn, and Lilith stopped the two backbones of the righteous law.

She smiled and said to Whitehorn: "Sir, I would like to remind you kindly.

If, I mean if~if!

What do you think the British wizard would think if the British team was eliminated or even missed out on the championship because they failed to use the new broomsticks?"

Whitehorn swallowed, feeling bad.

Lilith added: "Think about it again, if the British wizards knew that it was you who ordered not to make new brooms for the national team players, what would they think?"

Whitehorn's face changed drastically. Didn't the crazy fans overthrow his company?

Lilith smiled brightly: "I assume you don't want a British wizard?"

"Ah, yes..." Whitehorn said nonchalantly. If he offended the British wizard, who would come to Nimbus Company to buy a broomstick?

"Then let's get into contact with contract law, but don't worry, we have prepared a new contract for Nimbus Company," Lilith waved her wand, and a new contract appeared on her desk.

Lilith opened the contract and read it aloud:

"There is no supremacy clause in this contract, and Moriarty Slytherin and Nico Flamel's cooperation with the Nimbus Company is limited to new broomsticks.

In one week, Nimbus made 12 new brooms!

Then you can sell it under the name of Nimbus Company. I have already thought of the name for you, Nimbus 1990S!

Divided into four and six, Moriarty Slytherin and Nico Flamel six, Nimbus four.

This is a win-win contract, sign it, Mr. Whitehorn."

Lilith stood up, raised her head and looked down at Whitehorn with a victorious smile on her face.
