The shareholders were laughing, and Old John was laughing too.

It's just that there is no smile in his eyes, looking at the shareholders of these pure-blood families is like looking at a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Hogwarts is a school of magic with a long history and a bright future. I had contact with the legendary wizard Albus Dumbledore during the last board meeting. A very nice person."

Old John praised.

Some school managers took a playful look at Malfoy, who had become expressionless after talking about Hogwarts.

"John, you are a smart person. Smart people know that no one can shake Dumbledore's position in Hogwarts, but some people just like to make things difficult for themselves, and actually cooperate with an outsider to get Dumbledore from Hogwarts." Gewartz was kicked out, and it ended up losing even a seat on the board."

He didn't name Dao's name, but every shareholder in the seat knew who he was talking about.

There are nearly twenty shareholders sitting here, but the number of Hogwarts school managers has been reduced to eleven, and each of them knows why this situation happened. The missing position should have been surnamed Malfoy.

Old John seemed to be trying to save Malfoy, and deliberately changed the topic.

"Hogwarts is one of the oldest wizarding schools in Europe and the world, and with wizards like Dumbledore sitting under its command, I believe it will be the most outstanding school in the future."

The shareholders nodded.

"Of course we think so too, but you have also joined the Hogwarts Board of Trustees for half a year, I believe you can see how much the entire school spends every year.

If this money is placed in the hands of any one of our families, it will need to pour in the profits of all industries every year. Even if it is even for 11 families, it will be a lot of expenses, so in fact, we have been putting pressure on Dumbledore. I hope he can minimize some unnecessary expenses in Hogwarts.

When the next school board meeting is held again, John, you have to cooperate with us. After all, this is saving everyone money. "

After listening to his words, Old John glanced at the shareholders sitting with a smile.

"Since the high annual expenses of Hogwarts have caused so much trouble to everyone, I have a way to save money without risking offending Dumbledore. I don't know if you have any ideas. not interested?"

Among the shareholders, the members of the school board looked at each other, and finally they all put down their wine glasses, knives and forks, and looked at Old John with a serious attitude.

"We can let the Hogwarts school board also imitate the model of the joint company, and centralize the board of directors at Hogwarts to me.

Of course, any expenses of the school will also be funded by the investment company behind me. You don’t need to pay any more money, but every decision and plan I make in the school will be in the name of the entire board of directors. That is to continue to promote among the students that it is you who have made these decisions that benefit the students. "

Old John smiled kindly.

"It's a very good deal. You should also believe in the ability of the investment company behind me. The future of Hogwarts entrusted to me to take care of it will only get better and better."

After listening to Old John's words, the school managers looked at each other with strange faces, and the last female school manager asked their questions.

"It sounds like the conditions are very generous. We can gain so much just by handing over the board of directors. But Mr. John, with all due respect, you have paid so much, and you are even willing to use your own family to provide for Hogwarts. What is it?"

"As I said, I am very optimistic about the prospects of Hogwarts."

Old John shook the red wine in his glass: "As the helm of an investment company, I am of course interested in all promising things, and the magic school is the same. There are too many voices in the school board, and everyone's demands are different. Although you usually don't interfere with the various affairs of the school, it is always disadvantageous to have so many voices in a group, so I want to gather the power in everyone's hands. After all, you are not very interested in how to manage this school, are you? ?"

The school directors at the banquet fell silent.

The conditions given by Old John are undoubtedly very attractive. The school directors really have no interest in how to manage Hogwarts, and in the future, they can get the same influence as they do now without paying their own money. No matter how you look at it It's a very good deal.

But the power they still hold in their hands is really not much.

After the management rights of the family business were half coerced and half voluntary taken away by Old John, even the Hogwarts board of directors would also be taken away. After that, what are these people left with?

Do you want to be a pig that has nothing to do every day and waits to die?

So in the end, Old John's proposal was not adopted by them.

"I think it's fine for Hogwarts to maintain the status quo now. Now the joint company's dividends are much more profitable than our own before. Of course, we can support Hogwarts more easily. There is no need for John You pay so much money by yourself."

A school manager said with a smile, and some people followed suit.

"Yeah, John, if you have any better opinions on the future development of Hogwarts, you can say it directly at the school board. We all don't interfere in the daily affairs of Hogwarts, so there is no need to do so." Trouble, you can just do what you want."

Hearing that his proposal was rejected, Old John still had a smile on his face, without any dissatisfaction.

It wasn't him who lost, but these school managers who thought they were smart.

The young master said that he wanted to dictate the Hogwarts school board, so his goal would definitely come true. He originally planned to save some face for these people, so as to maintain the harmony on the surface, but since they are so ungrateful , then don't regret it later, crying and begging him to put the board of directors in the young master's hands.

"In this case, forget it, it is indeed true, if it is really difficult for my family to provide for Hogwarts, you still dissuade me in time, if it really becomes a problem, I guess I will regret it before I finish the meal gone."

Old John brought this topic over while talking and laughing, as if they hadn't talked about it at all just now.

The dinner continued, and when it was coming to an end, a shareholder seemed to be a little drunk, and said drunkenly.

"I said John, where did you recruit the manager of the broom branch of the United Company? The business seems very unfamiliar. This area used to be managed by my family. I am familiar with it. Do you want me to go there? Guidance?"

There are too many marriages in the past two days. My place is full of high-decibel music and the sound of suona during the day. Even at night, it doesn’t stop. The stage is blocking the road. Today’s update is a little late .
