Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 125 I won’t agree
Not to mention anything else, if Gretel is willing to give 5% of the shares of the communications company to Gringotts in Diagon Alley, he will definitely become a guest there.
But that is inconsistent with Sugon’s strategic goals.
Dawn’s most fundamental wish is to free Britain’s wizards from the financial system controlled by the goblins of Gringotts.
Communications companies, an industrial economy with extremely healthy development, are extremely high-quality assets no matter who hands them.
This is especially true for Gringotts. The more they control the real economy, the better it will be for them to stabilize the economic system.
Indeed, the financial structure created by precious metal currencies is inherently more stable than paper currencies.
After all, precious metals, even if they are separated from the economic system, can still rely on their own precious metal properties to ensure their own value.
Paper money is convenient, but it is more dependent on a stable political and economic environment.
Mastering more high-quality assets like Grete Communications will ensure that the financial empire they build will not collapse easily.
Even if a run occurs, they can stabilize prices through the physical assets they control.
But these things cannot be stabilized by Gringotts in England alone.
The Gringotts branch in America and the Wizards International Bank behind the scenes, backed by the rise of the Muggle government in America, have long since become the real leaders in Gringotts.
Only when the Goblin International Bank turns its back on the Gringotts headquarters in England can Dawn have the slightest chance of taking the British financial system back from the hands of the goblins.
When he first came here, Grete actually came here with the intention of cutting off his flesh.
He didn’t know whether the American Gringotts branch wanted to seize power or become independent from the goblins.
If they only want to seize power by stumbling upon the British Lord Gring, Gretel can only slowly take advantage of it, relying on the mobile phone that has been integrated into the wizarding society, and stride into the era of virtual economy.
Relying on the communication system controlled by him, they developed their own virtual financial system to collide with the goblin’s physical financial system.
However, once the beast of the virtual economy is released, what happens next may be beyond his and Shuguang’s control.
Fortunately, Gretel finally felt relieved after seeing the hidden sign next to the lintel of Gringotts America.
After all, they were far away from their own race and had been suppressed and exploited for centuries.
In their hearts, they have resentment towards the old guys who hold real power in the clan.
Just like the wizards, those who were originally sent out to conquer the world were just guys who couldn’t survive and came to a strange place to fight for their lives.
Ordinarily, after conquering the world, who would be willing to have the peaches suddenly picked away when the time comes to sit in rows with naked fruits?
According to the wizard’s records, Gringotts America has had dozens of managers in a few years. Every few years when you go here to do business, you can see a new bossy face.
But in the end, this newly opened market was handed over to the hands of the goblins who first conquered the world.
Perhaps the dispute between American fairies and European fairies arose at that time.
“It’s not worth it. Although the communication company has a high reputation within the clan, 5% of the shares are not worth our falling out with the clan.” Fred shook his head, and then continued, “At least 5% is required. ten.
I guarantee that if the communication company can trade us 50% of the shares of Goblin International Bank, we can overwhelm the headquarters in one fell swoop. “
Grete looked unmoved. He had known that all the goblins were eyeing the communications company he controlled.
Over the past few years, no matter where Gringotts is, as long as they can talk to him, they will secretly and openly want to get some shares from him.
But it was impossible. Grete knew very well what a huge empire he controlled.
It’s okay to say now that there are only a few million wizard users in the world, but in the future, his communications company will affect billions of all humans in the world.
All the industries derived from communications are countless. It is impossible for him to exchange 50% of his shares for a temporary ally.
In order to ensure absolute control, he must hold at least 60% of the shares in his own hands. He cannot trust Shuguang.
“Mr. Fred, neither of us are fools. I know why you goblins value the communications company in my hands so much, and you don’t have to treat me as a fool.
If you are really insincere, then just think of me as coming to your door today to harass you.
We have to deal with Gringotts in Diagon Alley ourselves. “
Grete pretended to leave, and Fred King took a sip of coffee calmly.
“Isn’t Mr. Garnell worried about us reconciling with the headquarters and dealing with you Shuguang together?”
“I just don’t want to cause more sacrifices, but that doesn’t mean I can’t accept sacrifices.” Gretel shrugged indifferently.
“Perhaps Mr. Fred needs to understand that I am here just to find allies, not to ask for help.
Wizards don’t like bloodshed, but that doesn’t mean they’re afraid of it.
Besides, are the goblins really sure of winning? “
Gretel paused, and then squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, “I am sure to seize this world from the hands of all humans.
Granted, I grant that wizards may fail, but humans do not.
Doesn’t Mr. Fred know this very well? “
Gretel didn’t pause at all and walked straight to the solid wood door a few steps away.
As he walked, he counted down in his mind, “Five steps, four steps, three steps…”
Both sides know each other well, even if it is just a pretense, but if Gretel really steps out of this door.
Even if cooperation can be reached in the future, there will inevitably be entanglements in the hearts of both parties that are difficult to resolve.
However, in order to compete for control, both Gretel and Fred King have reasons why they cannot give in.
Seeing that there was only one step left before he was about to touch the doorknob, Grete took the last step with a sudden heart.
It didn’t matter, he could bow to wizards or even any human being, but he couldn’t show weakness to goblins like goblins who had betrayed him repeatedly.
The big deal is that it’s a fight to the death. Anyway, starting from him and all the people who joined Dawn, they all understand one thing. If sacrifice is unavoidable, then why can’t it be me?
Besides, it’s not like they have no chance of winning.
The goblins are definitely not completely sure, otherwise they would have turned against the wizards and taken control of the magical world from the wizards’ hands.
The last war between wizards and goblins was due to the expansion of the last goblin king.
They want to step on the wizards and become the supreme king race in the magical world.
Facts have proved that they failed. They could not afford the consequences of a complete failure in the war. They did not want to be reduced to a race that existed like house elves.
Rest and recuperate, lie dormant in silence, and burn out the wizard until they can kill him with a snap of their fingers.
Grete has secretly made up his mind to take over the Ministry of Finance under Penelo’s control when he returns and start developing the virtual economy.
Use the convenient payment across the ages to have a good collision with the gold Galleons system established by the fairies.
However, he had to master the scale, even if he couldn’t lock this beast back again.
At least through the small magic world, we must find a truly feasible economic method for the entire human race.
Just as he was about to touch the door handle, Gretel heard a long sigh from behind.
Then, the door handle within reach instantly disappeared from his sight.
“Hey, Mr. Gretel, it’s not that, I don’t know if you have heard of a saying from the mysterious East, business cannot be done without justice.
I’m asking for a high price, but you can pay me back on the ground, right? “
Gretel slightly raised the corners of his mouth, then his expression became cold.
Turning around again, the magic spell used to cover his body has been completely lifted.
The long silver hair is windless and the mysterious silver eyes of the same color reveal an icy look.
“There are some things you can talk about and some things you can’t.
Just like my request, if I want Goblin International Bank to start a full-scale war with Gringotts, would you agree to it, Mr. Copper Seal? “
Fred King stood up with a bitter look on his face, and then lifted the curse that was used to cover himself.
His true appearance is much older than what he showed at first.
Originally, his beard and hair were only gray, but now he appeared in front of Gretel, and he seemed to be on the verge of death.
Grete secretly speculated in his heart that a long-lived species like a goblin would give people the impression of being so old. It was hard to imagine how many years he had experienced.
“Mr. Gretel, would you like to give me some time to sit down and listen to me talk?”
Grete was noncommittal, and finally the old guy in front of him controlled the table and chairs and approached Grete.
“The American branch of Gringotts began to add the name Goblin International Bank after the 18th century.
At first, no one in the clan was willing to go to this wild land to open up a market.
After all, safety is not guaranteed. There have been several wars between us goblins and wizards. In this land far away from our clan, life is even more in danger.
At that time, the local goblin nobles were all in danger, let alone us commoners.
But the wizards needed a trading hub, so we were sent out.
I don’t know how much effort it took, but the branch successfully stood up.
It was clearly agreed that the branch established would give half of the results to us civilians.
However, the nobles did not keep their word and wanted to take it all.
After several struggles, we protected the branch, but our family was in their hands.
Ninety percent of the profits are exchanged for their safety. “
Grete spread his hands to express his sympathy for them, but that was all.
After all, this kind of thing is inevitable as long as class oppression still exists.
“But we are not willing to accept it. The nobles feel that the wizards oppress the goblins, but we feel that the nobles oppress us even more severely. All we want to fight for is that poor freedom.
They recuperate and we recuperate.
They discriminate against wizards, we serve wizards.
To be honest, wizards are much better than those nobles.
Not long ago, we intercepted some of the money settled by American Communications Company in order to attract the attention of the communications company.
Or rather, to get the attention of you, the man in charge.
There is no business in the entire magical world that occupies the lives of ninety percent of the people in the entire magical world like the communications business.
You may not know that after the widespread use of mobile phones, the spread of information in the entire magical world instantly increased by several orders of magnitude.
Many businesses have increased their turnover several times by relying on more convenient information exchange.
If we can enlist the help of communications companies, we can then influence other customers. “
Upon hearing this, Gretel understood.
The goblins in the Americas branch want to influence other customers who are already accustomed to using mobile phones, so that they can transfer all their business flow from branches around the world to their Americas branch.
By that time, there would be no other branches in Gringotts headquarters that could suck blood.
Then rely on financial runs or other means to annex the Diagon Alley headquarters.
Or let some of the benefits go out through negotiation, save their family, and finally complete the independence of the American fairies.
But all of this depends on the communication company controlled by Grete.
Wizards certainly don’t want to go back to the days when letters were delivered by owl couriers.
For business, timely information is particularly important.
The daily correspondence is bearable, but the family is short-lived, one day early and one day late, so it doesn’t affect many things.
But business is not good. No matter what kind of business it is, if you don’t receive news today, you may be left behind the next day.
Therefore, if the American fairies use this to manipulate those customers, there will be few people who will not agree.
However, once this happens, it will cause an immeasurable blow to the communications industry.
But in order to be free, the American fairies had to do it.
They also know that Grete will not agree, so they must have sufficient controlling rights.
Over the past few years, the communications company’s shares have been more or less transferred out.
Gretel believed that the American fairies must have obtained some through some means.
Therefore, the fifty percent proposed by Fred is indeed an exorbitant price.
Grete estimated that as of today, a total of less than 30% of the shares are floating around.
If the American fairies have already obtained them all, they only need to take twenty-one from their hands to control the communications company.
“Mr. Fred, I cannot exchange the future of the communications company for your freedom. You may already value the communications industry, but you have no idea how many things it can affect behind it.”
Fred’s eyes suddenly darkened, and he revealed all his secrets.
It’s because he has learned about Gretel’s personality from various channels.
If we talk about the entire wizarding world, who would be willing to help these group of fairies who have left their hometown?
The only possible person is Mike Gretel, the leader of Dawn who founded Dawn and is determined to integrate the wizarding world into the Muggle world peacefully.
This is why he is willing to open up.
But now, he was rejected.
“Threatening other people with bans on communications is not something I would agree with.
However, we can use other methods, such as interests…”
Even after living for hundreds of years, Fred still doesn’t understand. What benefits can satisfy everyone at the same time?
