Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"Haha, I should be the one who is envious. If I could have the high prestige of Minister Badno, I wouldn't be pointed at and scolded by others now." Peter laughed at himself rather grandly.

Seeing how flexible Peter was, Anduin had no choice but to smile cooperatively and replied, "Minister Peter is truly extraordinary. I believe that the German Ministry of Magic will be able to 'thrive' under your leadership."

"Mr. Wilson, please don't put your hat on me." Peter knew that the young man in front of him was not an easy person to get along with, so he was not too polite. "I learned from Clemont that you will have a long-term relationship with him.

trade cooperation, which is a great thing for Germany’s development.”

Peter knows that Claremont attaches great importance to the cooperation with Silver Flash Commercial Bank, so he especially hopes to implement this matter during this meeting, which can be regarded as helping his senior collaborator.

"Haha, is that what Mr. Claremont said? In fact, this matter has not been settled yet." Anduin said noncommittally as he got an advantage and acted like a good boy.

Huh? Is this kid still hesitating? Pete thought to himself that this kid is really a thief, taking other people's money and not doing anything.

"I think cooperating with Claremont is a win-win situation for you, him, and even the entire German business. Do you have anything left to hesitate?" Peter gave Anduin a firm look.

, seems to want to make the decision for him.

"It's not that I don't want to confirm my intention to cooperate, it's just..." Anduin put on a tangled posture, "I just heard the news. It is said that there have been some changes in Germany's trade policy. To be honest, I am a little worried.

Will my business in Germany get into trouble because of this?"

"Haha, Mr. Wilson is overthinking." Peter smiled and waved his hand, "The newly promulgated law is just to determine the ownership of major merchants. In fact, there is no change from the past."

"Is that so?" Anduin was still a little hesitant, "But the business environment in Germany is changing too fast, and new policies will appear every once in a while. According to Mr. Claremont, Germany may be

Split into East Germany and West Germany, in that case I would have to find agents in the two regions."

"But judging from what I see now in Germany, it seems that the opposition to secession is also very strong. What if Germany still maintains a unified state in the end? You must know that what I am planning to sign is a long-term contract.

If there are two agency partners in Germany, wouldn’t I be asking for trouble?”

"And even if the split is finally completed, the newly promulgated law requires merchants in the territory to choose whether they belong to East Germany or West Germany and apply for a new business license. However, there does not seem to be a provision in the law that this choice cannot be renewed.

It should be changed."

"What if Mr. Clermont returns to East Germany to operate within two years after taking over my contract, or changes his ways to open a branch in East Germany? I can't stop them from expanding their business, right?

Agents belonging to East and West Germany at that time would bring us endless trouble."

"You are not a business person, so you may not understand our difficulties. I just hope that my business can develop in a stable environment, and I don't want to see any extraneous problems."

Anduin systematically detailed several of his troubles to Peter, and these reasons all had their own reasons.

Even Peter couldn't help but secretly nod after hearing this. This Anduin's consideration was very comprehensive. If he were the opponent's character, he might not be able to make an immediate decision.

However, in order to keep Anduin's property as soon as possible, Peter could only advise, "I think you don't have to be so entangled. First of all, it is a general trend for the German wizarding world to divide into East and West. Those protests you saw

They are just trying to gain benefits."

"I can tell you clearly that currently more than 80% of merchants in Germany have no objections to the new decree. The ones who have bigger objections now are only some companies, including Gringotts and Obscurus Books. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you.

You promise to resolve their conflicts within a week."

"As for your worries about whether agents such as Claremont will bring changes to you, it will be easier. I can take the lead in signing an ancillary agreement for you to ensure that they are not allowed to change their registration area during the time of cooperation with you.

And when expanding to 'neighboring countries', you must not bring your alchemy business there to avoid disrupting the local market."

"And I can promise that as long as you sincerely cooperate with local merchants, the German Ministry of Magic will be your back-up and protect your interests from infringement."

Pitt's promise was quite courageous, considering that this was only the first time the two of them had met.

Anduin couldn't help but give Peter a surprised look when he heard this, "Your support really makes me feel a great honor. It would be great if the Ministry of Magic in all countries has your heart, but..."

He paused and organized his words, "But are you so confident that Germany will definitely complete its differentiation? Even within the Ministry of Magic, I really think I heard different voices..."

Peter knew that Anduin was referring to the former Kuller, so he looked at him with gentle yet firm eyes, "If you are willing to walk around among civilian wizards and Duden Towers, or read major German newspapers and periodicals,

You will know from the news that the separation between East and West Germany has long been what the people want, and what I did was just to comply with the public opinion."

"Director Kuler and others are just old-school people with conservative ideas who are unwilling to accept changes. I don't blame them for this, but the final decision still follows the principle of the minority obeying the majority, so the divisions

The process may be fast or slow, but it will definitely come.”

When Peter said this, his eyes were extremely firm.

I have to say that 'Minister Pete' is really good at deceiving people. If he were placed in a large company in the Muggle world, he would definitely be a PUA master. Anduin secretly cursed in his heart.

Then he suppressed the urge to complain in his heart and asked sharply, "In this case, will the German Ministry of Magic also be divided into two parts? What will the structure of the divided Ministry of Magic be like? If

What should we do if there are changes in policies and laws after the division?”

When Peter heard this, he just smiled and said, "Anduin, you don't mind if I call you that. I find that you see things very clearly."

"I can tell you in advance that the Ministry of Magic will naturally be divided in the near future. Now each department is gradually divided into two offices to pave the way in advance. However, the Ministry of Magic will still be established on the original

Basically, there won’t be any major changes in various policies and laws, at least not in the areas under my jurisdiction.”

"The department under your jurisdiction?" Anduin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "In other words, after the magic department is divided, you will still serve as the minister in one of the ministries of magic? Are you not taking the initiative to reduce your rights?

?And who will be the ministerial candidate on the other side after the division?"

"Yes, after the separation, I will at least stay in the position of Minister of Magic for a few more years to solve all the follow-up problems. And for the happiness of all wizards and people, what is the point of talking about mere rights." Peter looked at him righteously.

Anduin, "As for the Minister of Magic on the other side after the separation, it has not yet been determined. Of course, the separation will not be completed so quickly, so you don't need to be too nervous."

"I see, it seems that you have considered everything." Anduin nodded in admiration, "But I don't know what you said before about the solution to Gringotts and other companies. They seem to

I don’t quite accept dividing my industry into two parts.”

Hearing Anduin suddenly turn the topic back to those merchants, Peter couldn't help but feel a little nervous. This young man might have realized something.

"These entrepreneurs have big businesses and even occupy a very large area in Duden Building. It is really difficult for them to split up hastily, so we are preparing to establish a neutral area to accommodate these merchants." These things are already in place.

I had talked with some merchants, so it wasn't a big secret. Peter couldn't hide it much, so he had to reveal everything to the other party.

"Oh? Neutral area." Anduin smiled with interest, "Since there is such a good policy, why didn't you tell me earlier? Our Silver Flash Commercial Bank seems to be more suitable for experience in such a location. Maybe I can

Just open a branch here, what do you think?"

Peter was immediately worried when he heard this. What he was afraid of was that the other party would start thinking about opening a branch directly. When they sell the goods themselves, the club would not be able to operate secretly, and it would also lose a large part of its profits.

"The neutral zone is prepared for large companies that have been operating in the local area for a long time. Although your Yinshan Trading Company is also very large, after all, it has not fully entered the local market before, so..." Peter comforted tactfully.

"Why take a detour when there is a simple straight road? As long as you are willing to let us, Silver Flash Trading Company, open a branch in a neutral area, I can donate 5,000 Galleons to you as a political donation, and an additional 5,000 Galleons for purchase.

Shop expenses!" Anduin ignored Peter's words and just took the money to clear the way.

5000 plus 5000? Can this initial investment cost 10,000 Galleons? Is this guy's business so profitable? Peter couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Anduin's words.

Then he realized that Anduin's business scale and popularity might be greater than he imagined, otherwise the other party would not be so confident.

But the more this happens, the less likely he is to let Anduin open a branch.
