Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 124
c124 five percent of the shares
Think about the attitude of the goblins in Gringotts in Diagon Alley, and then look at the name of Raven Case on the badge in front of him.
Gret couldn’t help shaking his head. Maybe this is the case of moving a dead tree to live a new life?
At least judging from their service attitude, I don’t know how the goblins in Gringotts in Diagon Alley shamelessly exploited the American branch.
However, despite his admiration, Gret didn’t get dizzy.
There are still disputes and contradictions between wizards.
The relationship between goblins and wizards really needs to be carefully examined.
He kept in mind that he came here this time to drive the tiger to devour the wolf and take back the financial system of Britain and even Europe from the hands of the goblins.
This goblin in front of him, who looks very friendly, can only be their partner temporarily.
It’s not that Gret discriminates, but the land of America has been crooked from the beginning.
You can’t expect the descendants of a group of bandits and hooligans to produce any good bamboo shoots.
From the perspective of humans and goblins, we can imagine what can be inferred.
However, no matter how cautious he is about the goblin race, he cannot show it on his face.
After all, he came here today to find allies. Even if they are superficially united, it is much easier than for them to deal with the goblin group alone.
Moreover, this plan still requires the goblins in America to take the lead.
No one from their Dawn can show up. At best, they can do some auxiliary work behind the scenes.
The war between wizards and goblins cannot be started by their Dawn at this time.
For Grete, any wizard in the entire magical world who is not unforgivable is his fellow.
If their Dawn starts a war, once the war begins, the sins of every person who dies will be borne by them.
Gringotts American Branch, a huge bank, Ravencrest has received countless wizards here.
After the wizard in front of him came in, he looked around and stared at him for a long time.
At this moment, he had already figured out that the visitor did not have any business to do.
When Grete looked him up and down, he naturally observed Grete’s words and expressions.
All the people in their Goblin International Bank are not like the old antiques in Diagon Alley.
No matter who goes there, they can see that they have a stern face every day, and no one is in a good mood when they see them.
No wonder their performance is getting worse year by year.
If it weren’t for the fact that their status in the tribe is relatively low, the headquarters and so on would have been replaced by their American headquarters long ago.
Besides, the times have changed now, and those old antiques are still planning to overthrow wizards one day and settle the accounts between goblins and wizards in the past.
They are really crazy.
I don’t know what they are thinking.
They can’t see the changes of the times at all. Even if they defeat the wizards, what can they do?
The world now has no possibility of returning to the control of the magic world.
Let’s not talk about how to manage it after the magic world really takes control. All the wizards and magical creatures in the entire magic world, all added up, can they account for one percent of the number of friends?
Besides, they watched their friends grow up.
Except for the lack of convenient magic, those friends were not inferior to the magic world in all other aspects.
No, it can be said that the magic world has long been unable to catch up.
Take the magic broom for example, the most advanced magic broom can’t see the exhaust of the friends’ planes.
Not to mention that the friends also explored space and even set foot on the moon.
Has anyone in the magic world done it?
Every time he went to Gringotts in Diagon Alley to hand in his profits, Raven Case felt deeply sad.
He felt deeply sad for those conservative old antiques. After all, wizards are human beings. Even if they are really desperate and exposed to the friends.
At most, they are just controlled.
It’s not the Middle Ages now. The friends no longer look at wizards as if they were a flood or a beast.
But they, the goblins, and the alien races connected by them, have no way to survive.
But none of the old guys who hold power in the tribe can see this fact clearly.
They should be buried in the ground like those old guys among the wizards who stick to the law of secrecy.
Of course, Grete doesn’t know the psychological fluctuations of the fairy who looks very enthusiastic in front of him.
Of course, even if he knows, he can’t trust it easily out of caution.
People who are not of my race must have different hearts. Even among the same race, there are still guys who commit crimes and cheat.
Not to mention these fairies who have fought wars with wizards several times in history and have caused friction from time to time.
He came here this time just to reach a cooperation with the fairies in America.
If the plan of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf can go smoothly, they can also take back the financial system from the control of the fairies.
Even if they can’t take it back completely, at least they have to control their own economic system.
Grete knows the importance of finance too much. It is the pillar of the country that is comparable to agriculture and military.
Therefore, Grete would not be at peace until an economic system controlled by wizards was established.
…
Raven Case saw that the wizard in front of him had finished looking at the layout here and turned his attention to him again.
“Excuse me, can you introduce me to the person in charge here? I may need to discuss some things.”
With a plan in mind, Grete chose to get straight to the point.
After all, no matter what, he would definitely meet the person in charge in the end.
If things are not kept secret, they will not be accomplished. For other things, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Raven Case looked him up and down. Due to the repeated requirements of their branch on weekdays, he did not directly refuse.
But he chose another way of saying it tactfully, “Mr. Wizard, our manager is busy with other things now. If you have any needs, you can tell me.
If I can’t meet your needs, I will ask my superiors. What do you think?”
Grete sighed in his heart. Tsk, tsk, it should be said. This service attitude is indeed much more comfortable than that of Diagon Alley.
The wording is polite, without the domineering feeling of the goblins in Diagon Alley.
Every time he went to Gringotts in Diagon Alley, Grete felt that he was not a customer at all.
“Can’t you meet with your person in charge for a business with a turnover of more than 100 billion per month?”
When Grete said this, there was no disdain in Ravencrest’s eyes.
Instead, he quickly calculated in his mind.
These goblins who receive customers have long memorized all the information of all customers.
There are businesses worth hundreds of millions in the magic world, and he has seen many businesses worth billions.
But more than 10 billion per month, this business is really rare.
According to what he recorded, there are only a few companies with billions of business every month, but they all have fixed partners.
No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to travel thousands of miles to Gringotts, their American branch.
After a while, he suddenly thought of what happened not long ago, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Anyway, whether it is the company he imagined or not, it will not go wrong to contact the supervisor.
Besides, even if it is not, he will not suffer any consequences. Such a big customer is not something that people of his level can receive.
Even if it is finally found out that this wizard is here to deceive, he will not be held responsible.
On the contrary, if he is really here to discuss cooperation, he will definitely be held accountable if he neglects it.
Thinking of this, Ravencasse instantly became more enthusiastic.
He led Grete to their reception room and sent someone to serve a cup of coffee.
A moment later, Ravencasse led a goblin with gray hair in.
Goblins are long-lived species, and their hair can be gray. Just thinking about it, you can tell that his age must be many times older than Grete.
People become spirits when they are old, but they are only dozens or hundreds of years old. The moment this goblin who is hundreds of years old appeared, Grete couldn’t help but raise his mind.
In the final analysis, people can see him in a nutshell based on experience alone.
Fortunately, he didn’t come here this time with the idea of a conspiracy to cheat people.
Driving a tiger to swallow a wolf is an open conspiracy. If they didn’t have this intention, Grete wouldn’t be able to do it.
Because it was an open conspiracy, many things in Dawn could only be decided by him, the leader.
If there was a need to make trade-offs, only his decision would not cause a stir within Dawn.
Others, even if it was Penelo, the chief steward, might not be able to do it.
In terms of personal prestige, no one could match him. Only he, even if he led Dawn into a ditch, others would follow him unreasonably.
This is also the reason why Grete is now increasingly thinking about getting himself out of Dawn.
Dawn is getting bigger and bigger. If he makes a wrong decision, it will not involve dozens or hundreds of people at the beginning, but tens of thousands, and it is unknown how many people will be indirectly affected.
“This wizard, Mr., should be from the Future Communications Company, or Grete Communications Store.”
Grete was not surprised when his identity was revealed.
In the entire magic world, there are only a few people who can be so rich and powerful and say that they make more than one billion a month.
Only his emerging monopoly business is still wandering outside.
Other established industries have already reached cooperation with Gringotts branches in various countries.
To be honest, even if the old goblin did not reveal his identity, he would have explained it himself.
After all, empty talk about cooperation will definitely not make people believe it.
So, before coming, their plan was to use the communications business that Gringotts headquarters coveted to attract the American branch to their side.
Anyway, as long as his true identity is not exposed and will not cause the entire American magic world to be wanted, it will be fine.
Besides, the communications market in the magic world is now monopolized by Grete Communications Company by nearly 90%.
The rest are either trifles that are not worth developing, or refuse to use this new magic technology.
Therefore, Grete no longer has to worry about competitors suddenly emerging and dividing their market.
People have inertia. After getting used to the products of Grete Communications Company, they will use other competing products.
Let alone whether they can get used to it, just the communication methods that are not interoperable make them unbearable.
Therefore, now Gret no longer minds using some benefits to exchange for some allies, even temporarily.
Grete picked up the coffee and took a sip. Although he didn’t speak, the old goblin in front of him obviously understood what he meant.
Raven Keys was sent out by him and turned to face Gretel.
“Presumably this Mr. Wizard is not Mr. Laws, right? But it doesn’t matter. I will treat you as Mr. Garnell Laws for the time being.”
He didn’t wait for Gretel to come back, and just talked to himself.
“So, before discussing cooperation, I want to know whether you have the authority to cooperate with us on behalf of the communication company.”
Of course Grete knew that they were asking him for identification, so as not to be deceived.
Without speaking, he just raised his hand and showed the communication core in front of the old goblin for a second. The old goblin who was leaning on the back of the chair calmly stood up in an instant.
“Bronze Seal, now known as Fred King.”
Grete finally spoke, “Mr. Fred, I would like to ask, if all the account transactions of the communication company are handled through your Goblin International Bank in the future, what kind of treatment will we get?”
When Fred heard the name of Goblin International Bank from Grete’s mouth, his whole aura suddenly became sharp, but then it softened instantly.
“Not enough, Mr. Garnell, it’s just account transactions, it’s not worth the risk we take.
Last time we tried to postpone the delivery, the clan sent 13 elders in succession.
If the turnover and deposit alone are not enough to cause us to have another dispute with the headquarters.
You don’t need to threaten, I guarantee that when you leave our place, we will take down the sign outside the door and hide it.
I can assure you that you are not the first to spot that sign, but to this day, none of us have been successfully threatened.
The group of people at the headquarters will not believe you wizards without proof in front of them. ”
Grete smiled and put down the coffee cup in his hand, “Mr. Fred, I think you may have misunderstood. I was not threatening.
On the contrary, I mentioned this name specifically because I don’t want to cooperate with Gringotts Americas Division. The person I want to cooperate with is Goblin International Bank, Americas Headquarters. ”
The eyes of the old goblin in front of him softened slightly, but they were not completely gone.
Grete had no choice but to take out the benefits he had prepared.
“5% of the shares of the communications company, and this contract does not die with the person’s death.
As long as the communication company exists, no matter who is in power, Goblin International Bank will be the shareholder of the communication company. ”
No matter which industry it is, as long as it can be monopolized, the wealth involved will be unimaginable astronomical figures.
Five percent of the shares of a communications company is enough to impress 99% of people in the world.
