Chapter 128 The Huge Wave Gradually Forms
Hogwarts lakeside villa, there is only one month left before the summer vacation, and the entire Scottish plateau is gradually getting hotter.
However, due to the back against the Black Lake and the cool breeze blowing from the lake, the villa by the lake is not as hot and dry as other places in the school.
In the meeting room of the villa, Augustus and Mr. Lucius were enjoying afternoon tea.
At this moment, there was a breeze blowing from the lake, and Lucius Malfoy couldn't help feeling refreshed, and at the same time, he used this as an excuse to speak.
"I have to say that you are really very tasteful, and your methods are also very clever. Under your leadership, Hogwarts has once again become a whole."
"However, I still want to say a few more words. In order to cooperate with your performance, we have been reducing the liquidity of the British magic community."
"Although this has greatly shaken the authority of the Ministry of Magic, it also caused us heavy losses."
Hearing the words of the old fox, Augustus took a sip of the black tea in the bone china cup lightly, then put down the cup and said.
"There's no need to come here to cry poorly, Mr. Malfoy, I believe that in this process, you must have acquired a large amount of real estate inadvertently."
"After all, for families that went bankrupt because of the Gringotts incident, wealth and survival are the choices they must make."
Hearing this, Lucius nodded with a smile, but quickly pretended to be embarrassed, and said helplessly.
"But these properties don't belong to us completely. You gather the rescue fund established by the major families."
"With extremely low interest, we have given loans to many people, so that we only obtained a certain amount of equity, but did not master the ownership of those properties."
Hearing this, Augustus interrupted the other party's speech with a wave of his hand, and then spoke seriously.
"Pattern, Mr. Pattern, our eyes cannot be limited to this small island."
"And you paid 1/4 of the market price, and you got 50% of the equity in these properties."
"At the same time, the other 50% of their loan from the rescue fund is assessed at market price."
"But the money is all from you, and they pay about 10% interest after 25 years."
"Based on this calculation, you have obtained the 50% equity without paying anything."
"And it has been praised by the general public. They say what they say, the pillar of the British magic world, an honest and reliable businessman, and a real nobleman with a conscience."
"These titles will benefit you, I don't think I need to say, you should be able to understand."
Hearing this, Lucius didn't dare to argue too much, but he still emphasized the current difficulties once again.
"There is nothing wrong with what you said, but the problem now is that because of that incident, the consumption level of the entire British magic community has dropped a lot."
"In addition to some necessities of life, the entertainment, sports, etc. industries that we operate are facing a huge blow."
"Even if it's just to maintain the scale of these industries, a huge amount of Galleons are consumed every day without exception."
"Although I know that you have great ideals, and I have offered you my family's loyalty, the real problem is still very heavy."
After listening to the other party's questions, Augustus was silent for a while, then took out a document, put it in front of Lucius and said.
"I already know how to solve this problem. This is the solution. You can take a look at it."
Hearing this, Lucius became excited, immediately opened the document, and examined it carefully.
And as the document was read in depth, his eyes widened and his expression became more surprised.
After reading the entire document, Lucius put down the document and said seriously.
"This is shaking the foundation of the entire magic world, and it is likely to spark a war between wizards and goblins again."
"What are you sure you want to do?"
Hearing the other party's serious words, Augustus nodded and said.
"Of course, otherwise you think I have spent so much effort just to get those gold coins."
"What I want to obtain is the rights represented behind those gold coins, the real minting rights, a method to obtain unlimited wealth."
"Now after this year, the time is completely ripe."
As he spoke, Augustus took out a pentagram flag, and under the flag was a line of small characters that read.
"Safety and credit are the greatest wealth!"
Looking at the flag, Augustus took out 5 more gold coins, then picked up one and put it on the corner of the pentagram and said.
"The Gringotts heist in England played the most important role in shaking wizards' trust in Gringotts Bank."
"Such a heavy loss, the other party has no countermeasures, and the reputation of the millennium has been shaken."
After speaking, Augustus took out another gold coin and placed it on the other corner of the pentagram.
"At the same time, because of the tightening of the currency, we have used some means to hold the entire British property in our hands."
"This lays the material foundation for our next move. After all, as long as we issue currency, they can buy what they want."
"So no matter what form of currency we issue, even if it's just a piece of paper, it has the same purchasing power."
After speaking, Augustus took out the third gold coin and continued to place it on a corner of the pentagram.
"At the same time, during this process, you and your business partners have accumulated amazing reputation."
"As I just said, this reputation will be a great asset."
After finishing speaking, Augustus took out the fourth gold coin and placed it on the bottom corner of the pentagram and said.
"At the same time, we also have external support. Now the French Ministry of Magic is completely under our control, and the German Ministry of Magic and the Italian Ministry of Magic are basically controlled by high-level officials."
"In this way, the bonds or currencies we issue can flow unimpeded throughout the European continent."
"In this way, the international character of Jin Gallon will be gradually weakened."
"But now we have one last question."
Then, Augustus pointed to the top corner of the pentagram and said.
"That is the British Ministry of Magic and Gringotts Bank. They have been cornered by us. He may join forces."
"So now, Mr. Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic, is also time for a shrewd and capable person to come up."
"However, you will be fully responsible for the specific operation. Do we fully trust you, Mr. Malfoy."
Hearing this, Lucius' hands couldn't help shaking, and he understood how much risk there was.
But what he understands even more is that if this thing is done successfully, how much benefit his family will get.
Your own family will no longer be just a wealthy nobleman, but can become a huge monster hidden behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Lucius did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said.
"I accept this mission, for you and that great ideal."
"For the greater good!"
