Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 122 Conjugate Father and Son
Grete thought about buying some goblins, but the entire financial system was controlled by the goblins.
The goblin race is surprisingly awkward. They just feel that everything they create belongs to them, and it is completely unfeasible to buy it with gold galleons.
If he uses other precious things, he will have nothing but those unique spells or the unique business he masters.
But there is no way to give these things away. Giving them away will undoubtedly help the bandits to respect themselves.
It’s not like goblins can’t buy other magic materials, potions, etc. In the entire magical world, there is no race richer than goblins.
Furthermore, these wizards seemed to be blinded by a leaf, and few people could see this.
I want to find someone to sneak in, but the goblins are a race that has never wanted to have anything to do with wizards. Few wizards can become their guests.
Even if you want to change your appearance and sneak in, it is not easy.
Just looking at the various anti-theft methods they use when guarding the vault, you can tell that sneaking in is not an easy task.
If there is another dispute, you will have to trap your own hands.
After thinking about it, I finally gave up the idea and had to think of another way.
It is really difficult to get information about goblins, and there are still some clues that can be found if they have connections with the outside world.
But when it comes to things within their clan, it’s really confusing.
It was a perfect fit, leaving no openings to get in.
If it were in the Muggle world, Gretel would not think of any tricks. In the financial industry, the most feared thing is a run.
If Gretel Communications were in the Muggle world, with their size, it would not be a difficult task to run on a bank, not to mention that it would be easy to do so.
But for Gringotts, an old bank that had been run by goblins for so many years and still stood still, they really didn’t know how to start.
After all, unlike Muggles, for the sake of portability and better management, over the years, all countries have converted their official currencies into banknotes for circulation.
Precious metals are generally stored in various countries and used as margin in the financial industry.
This is not the case in the magical world. With the Traceless Stretching Charm in hand, let alone refined gold and silver currency, even if it uses raw ore, there is no inconvenience in carrying it.
Besides, Muggles are too large, a thousand times larger than wizards. This also leads to the use of precious metals as currency, which is not only inconvenient to circulate, but also prone to currency shortages.
Wizards don’t have this trouble. After all, the scale of wizards is still too small.
Even if all the wizards in the world were put together, they would only number in the millions, and the small island of England would only have 60,000 to 70,000 people.
Therefore, the goblins will never run out of precious metals, so there is no need for them to exchange metal currencies for banknotes in order to increase issuance.
Just make whatever you use.
Under this situation, even if Gretel wanted to use a financial run to make the wizards eager to withdraw money, thereby forcing Gringotts to bankruptcy, there was no way he could do it.
After all, if it were that simple, the last time they took Dawn’s money away, starting from Gringotts, the entire wizarding world’s financial system would have been in turmoil.
Gretel thought about it and couldn’t find a good way.
Finally, we had no choice but to start a remote meeting with core members.
One person is short-term and two are long-term. It is much better for more people to figure out a solution together than for him to scratch his head anxiously alone.
It’s a pity that these core members are not much older than him.
Although he has talent, he lacks some worldly sophistication and social experience.
They all came up with a lot of ideas, but none of them were practical.
Saini, the right-hand man of the Minister of Intelligence, was found in the black market and was in his early twenties.
I don’t know if it’s because the black market has been around for a long time, and the ideas it comes up with are basically unjust.
For example, he suggested that since he was going to fight the goblins anyway, he might as well go to the black market and offer a large bounty for a mission.
Let the people in the black market do it for them. As long as they have money, those desperadoes dare to do anything.
Many people in the black market have lost their official status. Even if they attack the goblins, the goblins have no reason to start a war with the wizards.
Grete thought about it and still felt it was inappropriate.
After all, they haven’t even collected much information about the goblins, let alone figured out the details.
What if the fairies, who have been recuperating for many years, have already fallen behind the wizards in terms of strength?
Maybe when the time comes, finding outlaws in the black market will give the goblins a reason to take action.
At that time, they won’t care whether the black market desperadoes have a clear identity.
After all, in their opinion, aren’t these people all wizards?
Historically, when goblins and wizards went to war, the old, weak, women and children didn’t care.
As long as they are wizards, they are all their enemies. Even if they are human beings, they think they are a serious problem.
Gretel was worried, and he hadn’t relaxed his brows for a long time.
The more he got to know the goblin, the more he felt that the seniors who had ‘won’ the fight with the goblin had their heads filled with water.
It would be fine if he didn’t take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Instead, he had brought a lot of benefits to the goblins, so that when he started to act now, everything was hampered.
If Gretel were to find a task to compete with his predecessors in his past life.
He could only think of an old guy in an anime he once watched.
After the war was won, not only did they not ask for war reparations, but they also used their own village finances to compensate for the war opponents.
Grete felt that if these people met each other, they would definitely become confidants and play a harmonious tune.
Some people also said that since wizards cannot go to war with goblins, can they win over a group of aliens?
Anyway, as long as the wizards don’t take action, the goblins definitely have no reason to go to war with the wizards.
This idea is quite unique.
But after much thought, Gretel shelved the proposal.
There is no way, the wizards in the past were really cruel. It can be said that except for the goblins, there are no other alien races that cannot be maimed.
The orcs were driven into the northern wastes, and the vampires were forced back into the dark forest.
The hatred in their hearts is no less than that of the goblins.
These alien races can reach a cooperation agreement with the goblins, but they will definitely not look good on the wizards.
It can be said that since the wizards showed their prominence, not many of these alien races have been able to live a good life.
House elves have even forgotten their ancestors, lost their history, and completely become vassals of wizards.
No matter which alien race they belong to, they must be afraid that they will fall into this situation.
Even if cooperation is achieved by luck, the wizard will be afraid of their betrayal, and they will also be afraid that the wizard will stab them in the back.
Besides, Grete may not be able to get the reward that others need.
In the current financial system of the wizarding world, no matter how rich Dawn is, can they still be richer than the goblins who directly control the power to mint coins?
Before uniting all the wizards, Gretel felt that he must first get the British financial system back into the hands of the wizards.
Halfway through the meeting, Penelo, the big butler, suddenly mentioned something.
After the communications business in the Americas was settled last month, the financial department headed by Penello took the deposit slip to Gringotts in England for redemption.
It actually took several hours to complete the settlement.
This situation had never happened in Gringotts before, but in the end it just wasted some time.
Therefore, Penello did not list this matter as key information.
I just mentioned it when submitting the monthly financial report to Grete.
Now that he was going to take action against the goblins, Penello wondered if there was something hidden in this matter.
Gretel didn’t see it, because he was busy with a lot of things recently.
Besides, he rarely reads monthly reports. He only makes time to pay attention to quarterly and annual reports.
Now that Penello mentioned this matter, Gretel quickly sent someone to bring the record to him.
Sure enough, at the end of the report, in addition to listing the recent Shuguang fiscal revenue and expenditure, Penello also specifically mentioned it.
According to Sugon’s rules, all things that are very different from usual must be specially marked in the monthly report.
If he hadn’t been too lazy recently, which made him a little lazy, he should have discovered this a long time ago.
“Penello, please tell me the details.”
“We usually settle business with Gringotts at the end of each month. At the end of last month, when I sent someone to Gringotts to retrieve the profits of the communications company for that month, Gringotts did not pay in time.
The person I sent out was delayed for three hours in Gringotts, during which time he was arranged to sit in an office for a long time.
In the end, the manager of Gringotts came forward and said that they were too busy recently and they couldn’t coordinate the manpower at the moment, which delayed us a lot of time.
However, when the person from our finance department came back, he said that he had vaguely felt several obscure spatial fluctuations in the office.
By the way, this person worked in Comrade Saini’s Intelligence Department before he took up a position in our Ministry of Finance. “
Hearing this, Seni straightened his expression, and then he realized that the person Grete was chatting with Penello was actually someone who came out of their intelligence department.
However, this person was transferred from the Ministry of Intelligence to the Ministry of Finance with Grete’s permission.
Grete trusts their old friends, but Shuguang has expanded its recruitment to an unknown extent recently.
No one can guarantee whether the newcomers will be as loyal to their faith as they are.
So together with Gretel, their intelligence department put a few nails into each department.
Just for internal monitoring.
Everyone in their core group knew about this, and they all agreed tacitly.
If it weren’t for this, a person who had just transferred to the Ministry of Finance would not have gained Penello’s trust so easily and would have been able to go to Gringotts to pay this month’s income.
Now being pointed out by Penelo, Saini certainly knows that she is not shirking responsibility.
In fact, only he, the head of the Intelligence Department, has detailed information about this group of sand that was specially mixed in.
“Yes, Paige is an elite member of the shadow department of the Intelligence Ministry. He had been monitoring the Death Eaters until we reached an agreement to cooperate with the Order of the Phoenix, and was then withdrawn and sent to the Ministry of Finance for secret internal surveillance.
If he was talking about spatial fluctuations, I think the confidence level should be at least 90%. “
Gretel glanced at Seni. As the Minister of Intelligence, he was always on the safe side and would never guarantee anything unless it was 100% confirmed.
Therefore, if he said 90%, it can basically be determined.
“Seni, Penelo, I give you permission to let Paige enter our meeting now.”
Before Peg came in through the line, Gretel used his authority to blur the faces of everyone at the meeting.
There are many people here, and they cannot be exposed so hastily now.
Even if Paige passed the loyalty test long ago.
“Chief.” Obviously, before Paige came in through the line, Penello told him who was going to see him.
“I’m pretty sure that there were at least a dozen fluctuations in Gringotts, and it wasn’t until the fluctuations ended that someone took me out of the office to handle business.
That office has the function of isolating detection, but even so, it can still be detected, so the fluctuation is definitely of a transcontinental level. “
Grete thought deeply. Although the goblins and wizards discriminated against each other, they had never neglected their customers like this.
Especially for big customers like Shuguang, they will not neglect it.
After all, they can take away a lot of fees from every transaction that goes through Gringotts.
Therefore, there must be something wrong within Gringotts.
After Paige left the line, Gretel suddenly thought about what happened in July.
Voldemort is resurrected, Gringotts in England secretly contacts the Death Eaters, the dawn of light emerges, and Dumbledore is deeply involved in public opinion…
This series of events were instantly connected in Gretel’s mind.
Yes, Gringotts America is definitely trying to break away from the control of Gringotts headquarters.
Just like the Muggles who fled from England and established their own country.
Wizards also followed the trend and established their own Ministry of Magic.
Gringotts will naturally not let go of the Golden Land.
However, in the beginning, no matter whether they were Muggles, wizards or goblins, they were all wanderers from England.
No one expected that after several centuries, whether they were Muggles or wizards, their father-son relationship with England would completely change.
Conjugating father and son is not just a Muggle society.
The American Ministry of Magic has long been independent, and even took away the status of the British Ministry of Magic.
The group of goblins from Gringotts have also been struggling in America for centuries.
How could I not have Xiao Jiujiu in my heart?
The last time Voldemort caused chaos in England, they didn’t react.
Of course, it is also possible that Voldemort was defeated so suddenly that their plan was incomplete.
Let them lie dormant for more than ten years.
Now, with great difficulty, Voldemort has started to stir up trouble again, Dawn has also come in, and the whole of England is about to turn into a pot of porridge.
Of course they have to try to see if they can find a way to become the big brother, just like the American Ministry of Magic. They were caught off guard and became conjugated father and son with the British Ministry of Magic.
