Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 125
c125 Will not agree
Not to mention anything else, if Gretel is willing to give 5% of the shares of the communication 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 relies more 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.
They have resentment in their hearts 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 are openly and secretly trying 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 human beings in the entire world.
All the industries based on communications are countless, and 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? ”
Grete did not stop 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 knew that even if it was just a pretense, if Grete really stepped out of this door.
Even if they could still reach a cooperation afterwards, both sides would inevitably have an unsolvable entanglement in their hearts.
However, in order to fight for control, both Grete and Fred King had reasons not to give in.
Seeing that there was only one step left and he was about to touch the door handle, Grete made up his mind and took the last step directly.
It didn’t matter. He could bow to the wizard, or even any human, but he couldn’t show weakness to the goblins who had repeatedly betrayed him.
At worst, they would fight to the death. Anyway, starting from him, all the people who joined the Dawn understood one thing, if sacrifice was inevitable, then why couldn’t it be me?
Besides, they were not without a chance of winning.
The goblins were definitely not completely sure, otherwise they would have turned against the wizards and taken control of the magic world from them.
The last war between wizards and goblins was because of the expansion of the last goblin king.
They wanted to step on the wizards and become the supreme king race in the magic 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, quietly hibernate, and wait for the wizards to die until they can kill the wizards with a snap of a finger.
Gret has secretly made up his mind to take over the Ministry of Finance under Penelope’s control when he returns and start to develop the virtual economy.
Use the cross-era convenient payment to collide with the gold galleon system established by the goblins.
However, he has to grasp the scale, even if he can’t lock this beast back again.
At least he has to use the small magic world to explore a truly practical economic way for the entire human race.
Just when he was about to touch the door handle, Grete heard a long sigh from behind.
Then, the door handle that was within reach was instantly out of his sight.
“Hey, Mr. Grete, it’s not that bad. I don’t know if you have heard a saying from the mysterious East, even if the deal is not successful, there is still righteousness.
I asked for a high price, you can pay it back on the ground, right?”
Grete slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and then his face became cold.
Turning around again, the disembodied spell used to cover his body had been completely lifted.
The long silver hair moved without wind, and the mysterious silver eyes of the same color revealed a cold look.
“Some things can be discussed, and some things can’t.
For example, if my request is to let the Goblin International Bank and Gringotts go to war, will you agree, Mr. Copper Seal?”
Fred King stood up with a bitter face, and then lifted the spell used to cover himself.
His true appearance was much older than what he showed at the beginning.
Originally, his hair and beard were only gray, but now he looked like he was dying.
Gret secretly speculated that a long-lived species like the goblin would look so old, which showed how many years he had gone through.
“Mr. Gret, are you willing to give me some time to sit down and listen to me?”
Gret did not comment, and finally the old man in front of him controlled the table and chair to approach Gret.
“Gringotts American Branch began to add the name of the Goblin International Bank after the 18th century.
In the beginning, no one in the tribe was willing to open up the market in this wild land.
After all, there was no guarantee of safety. There had been several wars between us goblins and wizards. In this land far away from the tribe, life was even more precarious.
At that time, the local goblin nobles were in danger, let alone us civilians.
But the wizards needed a trading transit center, 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 established branch would give us civilians half of the results.
But the nobles broke their promises and wanted to take everything away.
After several struggles, we protected the branch, but the family was in their hands.
Ninety percent of the profits in exchange for their safety.”
Grete spread his hands and expressed his sympathy for them, but that was all.
After all, as long as class oppression still exists, this kind of thing is inevitable everywhere.
“But we are unwilling to accept this. The nobles think that wizards oppress the fairies, but we think that the nobles oppress us more severely. What we want to fight for is just that pitiful freedom.
They rest and recuperate, and we rest and recuperate too.
They discriminate against wizards, and we serve wizards.
To be honest, wizards are much better than those nobles.
Not long ago, we intercepted the settlement of the American Communications Company in order to attract the attention of the communications company.
To be more precise, it was to attract the attention of you, the helmsman.
Now in the entire magic world, no business can occupy the lives of 90% of the people in the entire magic world like the communications business.
You may not know that after the mobile phone was fully rolled out, the information flow in the entire magic world instantly increased by several orders of magnitude.
Many businesses have doubled their turnover by relying on more convenient information exchange.
If we can get the help of the communication company, we can then influence other customers. ”
Hearing this, Gret understood.
The goblins in the American branch want to influence other customers who are already accustomed to using mobile phones to transfer their business flow from branches all over the world to their American branch.
At that time, there will be no other branches that can suck blood from Gringotts headquarters.
Then rely on financial runs or other means to swallow up the Diagon Alley headquarters in turn.
Or negotiate to give up part of the profits, save their families, and finally complete the independence of the American goblins.
But all this needs to rely on the communication company controlled by Gret.
Wizards certainly don’t want to go back to the time when they relied on owl postmen to deliver letters.
For business, timely information is particularly important.
Life letters can still be tolerated, family matters, one day earlier or later, not many things are affected.
But business is not the same. No matter what business it is, if you don’t receive news today, you may be out of date the next day.
So, if the American goblins The spirits use this to control those customers, and few people will not agree.
However, once such a thing happens, it will cause an immeasurable blow to the communications industry.
But for the sake of freedom, the American fairies have to do it.
They also know that Grete will not agree, so they must have enough controlling rights.
Over the past few years, the shares of the communications company have been transferred out more or less.
Grete believes that the American fairies must have obtained some through some means.
So, the 50% proposed by Fred is indeed a sky-high price.
Grete estimated that to date, a total of less than 30% of the shares have been lost.
If the American fairies have already obtained all, they only need to take another 21 from themselves to control the communications company.
“Mr. Fred, I can’t use the future of the communications company to exchange for your freedom. You may have valued the communications industry very much, but you have no idea how much it can affect behind it. ”
Fred’s eyes suddenly dimmed, and he revealed all his secrets.
Because he had learned about Grete’s character from various channels.
If the entire wizarding world, who would be willing to help these goblins who had left their homes.
The only possible person was Mike Grete, the leader of Dawn, who founded Dawn and was determined to integrate the magical world into the Muggle world peacefully.
This was also the reason why he was willing to open his heart.
But now, he was rejected.
“I will not agree to threaten others by banning communications.
But we can use other methods, such as interests…”
Even though he had lived for hundreds of years, Fred still didn’t understand what kind of interests could satisfy everyone at the same time?
