Hogwarts Homecoming

On the drop-off platform in Diagon Alley, the people participating in the emergency consultation meeting remained silent. They stared at the table in front of them, as if they were about to see something.

The Ministry of Magic invested in purchasing the equity of the workshop?

Narcissa's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

In fact, it is normal for workshops and companies to raise funds.

At the beginning of their establishment, the companies that are familiar to people in the British magic world were basically solely owned by a pure-blood family.

But after decades or even centuries of mergers and expansions, no family can be solely owned by a company.

Basically, you have me and I have you.

Take the Malfoy family as an example. Some of their industries in the UK are not solely owned, but cooperate with multiple parties and even foreign capital parties. However, they are still the largest controlling party in the equity structure of the workshop.

These capitals themselves include the investments of some senior officials in the Ministry of Magic.

Just like Cornelius Fudge and Dolores Umbridge, who were sent in by Amosta Blaine not long ago, they and their families are stakeholders, and have been protecting these well-known workshops openly and secretly.

Take Amelia Bones, who is now on the throne of minister. Some of the collateral relatives of the Bones family also participated in the profit sharing.

But!

Narcissa frowned and pursed her lips.

The British Ministry of Magic established the International Trade Department as an investor to participate in the in-depth operation and management of the workshop?

It seems that no government of magical civilization has done this before, but it is on the Muggle side.

But no matter what, this is definitely not a good thing.

Everyone has this consensus in their hearts!

Many people looked at Amosta Blaine, who was sitting there with a faint smile, with their eyes out of the corner of their eyes, and they were so angry that their teeth itched.

Amosta Blaine's proposal was not to help the workshop resume production. They didn't need help at all.

Similarly, Brian is not simply trying to help the Ministry of Magic open up new sources of income. He wants to eat into the business empire that the pure-blood families have built over the centuries!

"By the way."

Amosta smiled and chatted,

"Next month, the first thing the Supervisory Department will do is to require all employees of the Ministry of Magic, department directors and above to clear their shareholding assets. In the future, high-level officials will not be allowed to make such investments."

The faces of the participants were blank.

Is this to cut off the deep-seated interest exchanges between the Ministry of Magic officials and them?

This alone will not work!

The chaotic fragments of everyone's thoughts were captured by Amosta's huge spiritual power.

Amosta certainly knew that this measure would not have much effect, but he could only use the method of boiling a frog in warm water.

The Ministry of Magic now has many problems both internally and externally, and he can only use gentle means to gradually advance.

If he does it too radically, not to mention not getting support, even he himself will immediately become as notorious as Voldemort!

This is the thought.

Amosta was somewhat grateful for the existence of Voldemort.

It is precisely because the British magic world has Voldemort, the biggest destroyer of order, that his various actions do not seem so "heretical"!

"So, what do you think?"

Amosta asked.

Narcissa clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, trying to resist the pressure from Ammosta Blaine, which was as vast and broad as mountains and rivers!

Is there any need to consider it?

If there is a choice, no one will agree with Blaine's plan!

But in the public eye, do they have a choice?

If they refuse, they must give Blaine and the entire magic world a reasonable explanation, otherwise, their workshops and companies will never have the opportunity to open again!

After all, they said in front of everyone about the shortage of orders and lack of working capital. Now Blaine has given a reasonable solution on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, but they don't accept it. This is unacceptable!

Besides, did he really think that before Brian started the negotiation, he put the matter of Amelia Bones, the Minister of Magic, on the table just as a kind notice?

If they dared to refuse, the Ministry would probably soon announce to the magic world the "ironclad evidence" that they "colluded" with the Death Eaters and conspired to kill the Minister of Magic!

Amosta Brian is not Dumbledore, he can definitely do this!

Many participants thought in their hearts with "anger and grief".

Moreover, how could they, the operators, not know. How could they not touch the forbidden area of ​​the law to support such a huge business empire?

In the past, as long as they maintained a good relationship with the senior officials of the Ministry, the Ministry would turn a blind eye.

Now the situation is different.

Perhaps they can use the "burn jade and stone" method to involve the Bones family, so that the incumbent Amelia Bones will be afraid to act rashly.

But Amosta Brian, who was born in Muggle, is not afraid of any taboos.

They couldn't find any evidence against Brian, nor could they kill him.

They were badly tricked by the mysterious man!

The operators who cared about the family business roared in their hearts, including Narcissa. She could foresee that Brian would never stop here, and the family's business in the UK would probably be reduced to one tenth in the future!

"Please allow me to ask one more question, Mr. Brian--"

Narcissa's voice suddenly became hoarse,

"How much money the Ministry of Magic intends to inject into each workshop, and"

Narcissa took several rapid breaths,

"How many shares are intended to be taken?"

"Oh, don't say that, Mrs. Malfoy-"

Amosta said cheerfully,

"It's as if the Ministry of Magic is planning your assets, haha"

Amosta laughed happily a few times, but no one could laugh except him.

"As for your question just now--"

Seeing that his 'joke' had no effect, Amosta coughed twice in 'embarrassment'.

“The ministry’s finances are also very tight, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to provide much support.

The only goal is to ensure that the workshops can resume work and ensure daily operations. This will be determined by experts from the International Trade Department who are being formed after investigating the situation of each company. As for the stock price.”

Amosta pondered for a moment,

"The International Trade Division and Gringotts' financial experts will also discuss this with you and finalize it."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the noose has been put around his neck, Amosta Brain seems to have no intention of swallowing them all, including their flesh and bones, in the short term!

"Excuse me, the International Trade Section of the Ministry of Magic will be headed by"

Narcissa thought further and asked tactfully.

"Pierce Thicknesse of the Department of International Magical Cooperation will serve as the interim director of the department, with Remus Lupine as deputy, Gringotts International as chairman, and Gerson Barna as advisor—"

Amosta quietly released another big news!

Bah, a mean werewolf and an old green monkey!

Narcissa secretly spat, then nodded,

"What a wise decision, Mr. Blaine."

"So, I guess we're on the same page, right?"

Amosta stood up from his chair, smiled and looked at the attendees who were standing up one after another after him.

"We have overcome all kinds of difficulties and effectively promoted the British magical industry and commerce to restore its former prosperity?"

For the sake of the cameras pointed at their faces, the participants reluctantly gave expressions that looked like crying or laughing.

"Then, we need an agreement to bear witness to the consensus reached today!"

Amosta said happily. He pulled out his wand and waved it. A quill inserted in an ink bottle, and a gilded document on a dark cover.

The big book appeared on the conference table.

Narcissa took a quick glance and suddenly felt suffocated again.

She discovered that the various articles drawn up after today's 'consultation' had already appeared on the book!

Amidst the cheers that gradually rose in the square of the drop-off platform, and under the delighted gaze of Amosta, each participant "willingly" signed the agreement. In the end, the "Plaza Agreement" was finalized. Arriving in front of Amosta.

At this moment, even Amosta couldn't help but feel a slight throb in his heart!

He looked at the names with handsome handwriting on the paper, took a slight breath, picked up the quill, and signed his name in the blank space at the end.

You will change the magical world.

After signing his name, Amosta looked at the 'Plaza Accord' engraved in gold fonts, smiled, and a thought crossed his mind.
