I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

Lynn hasn't been in the wizarding world for long, but he has discovered wizards, at least a common problem with wizards in Europe.

Just like the legendary dragons, they like to hide shiny golden things.

Especially the pure blood family, with the exception of the Weasley family, almost every other family will open a vault in Gringotts.

Yes, it is to open a vault to deposit money, which is different from the concept of depositing in a bank.

Bank deposits The bank also pays you interest, but the vault is similar to the bank's safe deposit box. Not only does it have no interest, but you also pay a large sum of money to Gringotts.

Just like in ancient China, a large amount of gold was buried in the ground following the owner's tomb, in the magic world, a large amount of gold Galleons did not participate in the circulation of the market, but were stored in the vault.

This habit is very bad, and Old John is a severe patient with gold possession.

"Bought, bought twelve pure-blood families?" Old John asked with a stammer.

Lynn explained his plan to him bit by bit.

"Of course we can't just throw money in their face and say that they will be under our control in the future. The reason why they can become Hogwarts board members must have their own business, otherwise the school will cost a lot of money every year. They can't afford the money if they keep sitting on the mountain, and they also have their own family industry to support these expenses.

There are industries involved in the market, so it is very simple to grasp them. I read the share contracts in the No. 63 vault. Basically, we all have shares in companies in various industries in the magic world? "

Old John reports to Lynn.

"Yes, except for Floo Fan, an industrial company regulated by the Ministry of Magic, we are basically involved in all industries involved in the magic world, including flying brooms, potions, magical animal-related materials, and magic books. There are absolute controlling stakes in these industries.”

"Then identify the pillar industries of these companies, spend money to cut off their market share, and buy their companies when they can't sustain it.

But remember to take it slow, don't let them find out what's wrong, and give them a big pie first. The reason for buying their company is because you want to set up an all-round enterprise in the magic world, and the future development prospects of this enterprise It is very beautiful, the wizard's clothing, food, housing and transportation are inseparable from it, and even this enterprise can completely control the economy of the magic world.

Promise to leave a way for them, for example, they are willing to let them occupy a certain share in the company, they cannot participate in management, but they can get dividends every year. In order to show their sincerity, they can own a lot of dividend shares in this company. Putting money into it is even more than they put in.

Boil frogs in warm water, and in the end, it will take a year to bring down the company and let them lose all the money. When they realize that something is wrong, they will become paupers. That's not right, maybe there will be some coffin books left by the ancestors. "

Ye Lina shivered involuntarily when she listened to the poisonous plan that Lynn said.

Is this really something that thirteen or fourteen year olds can do?

Old John didn't think of this, he was bringing in the plan that Lynn said, calculating the feasibility of it.

"Master, it's okay to do this, but." Old John said with dismay, "If we have to invest more than them, we will lose a lot of money in the end."

Lynn raised an eyebrow.

"How much do you lose?"

The assets of the twelve families cannot be calculated so easily, but Old John can estimate it roughly.

"At least half of the money in the vault is lost."

Lynn touched his chin: "That's not a big loss, it's only more than three million."

Elena: "..."

"It's already a lot of loss, young master." Old John said with a bitter face, "Lungard owns nearly half of the company's shares in the magic world, and has accumulated nearly five generations of talents to save more than six million gold Galleons."

"Why save money?" Lynn waved his hand. "Money can't make money. Saving money in my hand is useless except for warehouse management fees and depreciation. But."

He bowed his head in thought.

"It's really not good to waste it like this. Then we will set up two companies, one will be handled by you, mainly used to acquire the twelve family businesses and then integrated into a large company, and the second one will let your team To operate, copy the business model of the first company, two companies compete, use the second company to squeeze the market and assets of the first company, the management of both sides are you, and it is easier to cross the first company without being discovered. However, the left hand is the right hand, and in the end, the second company absorbs the blood of the first company and continues to grow until it goes bankrupt. In this way, not only will we not lose money in the end, but we can even make a profit.”

Elena: "."

Old John: "."

What a grudge!

This is what Ye Lina was thinking at the moment.

What kind of magic school are you going to go to? Wouldn't it be better to inherit Lungard's property and rule the wizarding world through business than to go to school at Hogwarts?

This is what Old John was thinking at the moment.

Lynn's plan is definitely illegal in the Muggle world, but in the magic world, their laws are not perfect at all, even Arthur Weasley knew that when writing laws, he left a back door for himself, magic laws The loopholes are even more numerous.

So even if they are finally discovered by the Twelve Clan, they will not be able to let the Ministry of Magic arbitrate.

"If that's the case, then we don't have to completely tear our skin in the end." Lynn leaned on the sofa leisurely, crossed Erlang's legs, and took a sip of the warm black tea.

"After all, we are not bad people. The ultimate purpose is not to cheat their money. As long as they know each other and are willing to package and sell the board of directors of Hogwarts to us, the second company full of blood, they are not unable to take shares. ."

Old John wouldn't care about the final life and death of those twelve families, and now he was just helping Lynn to conscientiously perfect his plan.

"It does seem feasible, but if you want to make a profit without losing money, can the all-round enterprise you mentioned really make money?"

"What if it doesn't make money?" Lynn said indifferently, "The big deal is that we are re-splitting it into several small companies, and then merging it into a company we fully control. Then we still make money in the end, don't forget, The old capital of those twelve families has been taken in by us. And we have also accomplished the most fundamental purpose, and the power of the Hogwarts school board has fallen into our hands."

"High! The young master's means are really high!" After Lin En explained, Old John sincerely praised.

"Of course, the implementation of the specific plan is still up to you and your team. At most, I can only give you a general direction and goal."

Lynn looked at Old John seriously: "Remember, our fundamental purpose is to get a seat on the school board of Hogwarts, making money and not losing money are secondary, even if we really lose three hundred in the end It doesn't matter if you have more than ten thousand gold Galleons, as long as the fundamental purpose is achieved, it will still be earned."

"I understand." Old John has completely entered the role of a butler.

It's only the first step to settle the Hogwarts board of trustees. Even if Lynn is nominally the only board member of Hogwarts, as long as the Ministry of Magic is willing to issue an education order, no matter what it is, it will be a piece of paper. Empty talk.

However, the most difficult thing to settle in the West has always been the capitalists, not the politicians. As long as you give enough money, the so-called politicians are just a bunch of rubbish. This is the same whether it is Muggles or in the magical world.

Yelena and Lynn stayed at Old John's place for a long time. At noon, the old butler showed Lynn his cooking skills. In the afternoon, they supplemented the details of the plan to acquire Hogwarts. Finally, it was approaching evening. Get up and say goodbye.

Before Lynn returned to England, Elena went for a walk with him in this small village in Switzerland.

"Why do you want to buy Hogwarts so much?" Elena asked in confusion.

"What I told you is very simple, it's simply because I like Hogwarts." Lynn didn't lie to Elena, he just told the truth, "Also, give you a piece of advice, if you want Lan Guo If you are strong, then education is the foundation of everything."

"Now Lan Guo does not have its own magic school. If our country's young wizards want to go to school, they can only go to the Beauxbatons School of Magic in France."

Lynn shrugged and said, "Indeed, it's really not easy to build a magic academy, and it won't work without a certain foundation."

Talking about this, both sides suddenly fell into silence.

They walked forward about a hundred meters, and Lynn broke the silence between the two.

"Okay, let's go here today, I should go back too."

Elina pursed her lips and looked at him.

"Even if you go to Hogwarts in the future, remember to keep in touch with me."

Lynn raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Why?"

Ye Lina walked in front of him, condescendingly taking advantage of her height and ruffled Lynn's hair with both hands.

"Because, I'm your sister Yelina! Sister! Ah!"

She bit the word "sister" very hard, but Lynn didn't care about the words in her words, but broke free from her clutches.

"Eh! You're too much!"

"Isn't it just right for my sister to touch my brother's head?"

Lynn didn't go home directly. He planned to take advantage of today to complete all the tasks that Dumbledore gave him.

So before the sunset completely disappeared, Kira took Lynn to a house in Devon.

Gilderoy Lockhart, a star wizard in the British wizarding world, from a 11-year-old little loli to an 80-year-old lady's dream lover, but Lynn knows very well that the real Lockhart is actually a master of forgetting. Cursed liar.

All his adventures were not his own real experiences, but were narrated by others. He used the forgetting spell to change the memory of the client and then stole this adventure, lying to the outside world that these were his stories.

And now this liar wants to add another Hogwarts professor identity to himself, and by the way, rely on this circle of money again. It was only after that Dumbledore broke contact with him, and he didn't know what was wrong with this guy, so he asked Lynn to come to Lockhart's house to see it.

Compared to Lockhart's flamboyant personality, the place he lives is very low-key, which is actually a matter of course. If his place is exposed, some crazy fans may block his door every day and don't know what to do. come out.

Lynn stood in front of the house and rang the doorbell, but there was no response from inside.

He hesitated for a while looking at the closed door, and finally decided to call Kira over.

"Open the door with a lock-picking spell."

Lynn has not forgotten that he still has traces on his body. He can use magic lawlessly in the country of Su, but after returning to the UK, he will have to be a little more cautious (Note)

Kira carried out Lynn's order perfectly. It stretched out its long fingers and used the unlocking spell on the door of Lockhart's house.

Lynn pushed open the door and walked in. The house was very messy, but it wasn't the kind of chaos that seemed to be patronized by thieves or fights with others. It was a normal mess. The owner of the house had a very sloppy living habit. A pair of unwashed men's underwear was found on the sofa.

He didn't roam about Lockhart's house, and he left after confirming that Lockhart was not there, and that there was no sign of being caught from the house.

With no clues, Lockhart just disappeared out of thin air.

But this matter didn't need Lynn to give him a headache. He just came to help Dumbledore to have a look here, and didn't say that he would help him find the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

Lynn's house, neither Kira nor Lynn are here this evening.

Hermione is here to teach Xiaomai the basics of life.

"Why does the sky produce lightning?"

"Because there is a mother of thunder and lightning in the sky!"

Hermione looked at her blankly: "What is that?"

Xiaobu swayed his calf in front of the desk and said solemnly, "It's the fairy tale that Lynn told me, not only the thunder goddess and the thunder goddess, but also the wind and rain master. If someone lies, they will discharge the thunder and discharge them and punish them for lying. child."

"Then your brother Lynn must be the first to be struck by lightning." Hermione said blankly.

Xiaobu asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because he's the number one liar in the world." Hermione said through gritted teeth, as if she was reminded of some bad memory, "What we're going to tell today is not a fairy tale, but a common sense of life, so you know that lightning really is How did it come about?"

"I don't know." Xiaobu replied sternly.

"Lightning is caused by the collision and friction of clouds in the sky, and the reason why you see lightning first and then hear thunder is because light travels faster than sound."

Hermione was talking earnestly, but Xiaobu didn't have any intention of listening. Today, the two mountains above her were finally not at home. She rarely had the time to be arrogant.

"Shall we go do something interesting, Sister Hermione?"

Hermione tapped her little head with the book.

"Learning is an interesting thing."

Xiaobu said slyly, "How about we go and see what treasure is hidden in Lynn's room?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, she pinched the corner of her clothes.

"It's not good"

"If you don't want to see me, you can watch it alone."

Xiaobu jumped off the chair and jumped upstairs happily.

Hermione's face was struggling, she hesitated for three seconds in her heart, and finally said to herself.

"I'm here to stop her."

She also left the living room.

"Yes, I'm going to stop her, how can I enter his room without Lynn's consent?"

(Note) Second difficulty: You are not yet an adult, which means you still have traces on you. "

"I do not have--"

"Zingsi, Zingsi!" Mad-Eye said impatiently, "a spell that detects the magical activities of wizards under seventeen, and is used by the Ministry of Magic to find out that underage magic is used! If you, or anything around you, Man, say a spell to get you out of here, and Sinkness will know, and so will the Death Eaters."

This is the stage of the original Deathly Hallows, and it is clearly stated that the trace wire is on the body of the little wizard and not the wand.

Also, tomorrow, the 30th year, if I can spare time, I will try to update it as much as possible. If I can't spare it, I will send a leave request letter before 10 pm, and I will make it up after the year.

OK, that's all for today.
