I Have a Big Problem with My Hogwarts

Old John is in a meeting.

This is already his 12th meeting this month, but this time is slightly different from the previous eleven.

These old pure-blood families in the British magic world gathered together again, and specially invited him to attend this meeting respectfully.

They had actually sent two invitations to Old John before, all of which he declined on the grounds that the company was busy and had no time.

But this time, he felt that these people were almost left alone, and finally agreed to the invitation to attend the meeting.

The joint company has been completely ruined until now, and the people from these pure-blood families can be said to have lost only their underwear, but at this meeting, they still smiled and did not dare to give Old John the slightest ugly face.

"We always feel that it's impossible for you to spend so much effort to pull us into this set and spend such a long time just for our little industry in the UK, right?"

Malfoy was chosen as the representative this time, responsible for leading the negotiations with Old John.

"Your industry is almost everywhere in Europe, even the former British magic market has at least 10% of your market share.

The magic market in the UK as a whole is not small in the eyes of those of us, but from your point of view, you should not look down on this place at all, or even if you are interested in it, you don't need to spend so much time and energy just to get it.

So what exactly do you want from us, Mr. John? "

Hearing Malfoy's question, Old John took a sip of the hot tea on the table slowly.

"I've said it before. I didn't pull you into any tricks. This is how business is done. If someone wins, someone else must lose. You can't imagine that there will always be a business that makes a profit without losing money? If there is such a good thing, Then why do you bother to worry about doing business?"

Even at this time, Old John was still reluctant to admit that the United Company was actually his trap.

He is not stupid at all, as long as he does not get caught in the business conspiracy, he can be fooled, but if he admits that this is a game he set up, it will be tantamount to self-destruct.

If someone used something to record the sound at this time, although it would not affect the foregone conclusion, it would still be a trouble.

The people sitting on both sides of the table gritted their teeth at Old John's pretending to be confused, and scolded him many times behind his back as an old fox, but there was nothing he could do.

Malfoy still seemed to be very self-restraining, he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and said along with Old John.

"Okay, we admit it!

You are right, as long as there are profits in business, there will be losses. This time, if we are unlucky, we will become the group of people who have lost everything. But we still have to live in the future, and we all have families to support.

This time I just want to consult Mr. John, what should we do to recover our losses, so that we can live a normal life in the future. "

He kept his posture very low, and his tone sounded like Old John was a bully who forced sex into prostitution.

In fact, in a sense, such a metaphor is not wrong.

Old John tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said without haste.

"Everyone has lost money here, and I can understand your difficulties and situations. After all, even if I lost everything, as long as there is no problem with the parent company, it will not be considered a serious injury, but you are indeed losing money. Into the whole family business."

He seemed to be thinking, and seemed to be weighing something.

The mood of the heads of these pure-blood families was the same as that of Old John's fingers tapping the table now.

Finally, after pondering for a moment, Old John continued to speak.

"I do have a way for you to recover some losses here."

Everyone sitting there held their breath, listening to him tell the way.

"After experiencing this failure, I became very interested in the senior executives of the Lungard Company, so I was introduced to meet the chairman of their company.

Although he caused us a lot of losses, it is undeniable that he is indeed very business-minded and capable, so we had a good chat. "

When the others heard what he said, they all felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.

I have never heard of anyone having a good conversation with themselves.

"Afterwards, I mentioned your current situation to him, and explained that you are all local snakes in the British magic world. If he wants to do business here in the future, it is best to form a good relationship with you.

After all, we will be in the UK from now on, so we will see each other with our heads down. He also deeply agrees with what I said, and decided to open some markets that belonged to you and return them back, and he can also provide you with a sum of funds. "

Hearing what he said, none of the Patriarchs of the pure blood family showed joy on their faces, instead they frowned even deeper.

It is absolutely impossible for Old John to realize that the conditions are so superior. If he had such good intentions, it would be impossible for him to evolve into the current situation.

The more things returned to them, the bigger his conspiracy.

"Surely such a good thing is not unconditional?" Malfoy asked tentatively.

"Of course not." Old John didn't deny it, and he directly stated his request, "The chairman likes children very much, and especially likes to help children improve their education, so he wants all of Hogwarts in the hands of everyone sitting here. In exchange for a seat on the council of the School of Magic."

Until this time, these people really knew what the ultimate purpose of Old John was.

He came to the UK just for this from the very beginning, the previous ones, whether it was tricking them into the joint company, or swallowing up all their properties in the end, they were all just for the purpose of getting a seat on the Hogwarts school board bedding!

The heads of the pure blood family were silent for a long time, and no one spoke first.

Because the school board seat is also not something they can give up easily, and it is difficult for each of them to make such an exchange.

"We agree."

Finally, when everyone was silent, Malfoy spoke for them.

Old John didn't feel the slightest surprise about this.

The Hogwarts school board seat is important, but if they don't even have the family property, then they can't afford this position at all.

Anyone can see the trade-offs in the middle.

A smile appeared on Old John's face, and he immediately took out a few pieces of parchment and distributed them to everyone.

"In this case, everyone, please take a look at this contract and sign it if there is no problem?"

Malfoy took the contract, looked at it carefully, and then looked back at Old John.

"We don't want property or any market share in this transaction. We only want money, which can be stored in the Gringotts vault!"
