Chapter 222 The Magician's Invitation, The World Needs Change

"distribution?"

Compared with management, goblins are obviously more sensitive to the latter word.

"That's right, Mr. Lantern."

Tang Sen grabbed a handful of Galleons and said, "I hope that anyone can receive the wealth that belongs to my treasury."

"This—" Deng Huan showed an extremely puzzled look on his face, "Anyone? Guest, what does this mean?"

"literal meaning."

Tang Sen said calmly: "I hope that anyone who meets the conditions can take part of the Galleons from the vault."

He paused, and said, "One hundred Galleons should be an appropriate number."

Deng Huan opened his mouth wide, froze for a long time, and choked out a sentence: "The guest is so generous, I mean... can I take it too?"

Tang Sen glanced at him and said, "Of course you can, if you meet the conditions."

"What conditions?" Deng Huan asked impatiently.

Tang Sen shook his head: "You will know soon."

"Besides, you, or Gringotts don't need to covet such a small amount of money as a hundred Galleons."

"A hundred gold Galleons is not a small amount of money," Deng Huan whispered, then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Tang Sen expectantly.

Tang Sen didn't show off, but said: "Since I entrust this business to Gringotts, Gringotts can naturally get a handling fee from it. I mean, every time someone comes to claim the Galleon, Gringotts will You can take some of it yourself—”

He asked, "How much handling fee does Gringotts charge for withdrawing money?"

"If it belongs to the customer's own vault, Gringotts does not charge a handling fee, we only charge fees such as maintenance fees." Denghuan quickly explained: "But if it is stored in the Gringotts public vault Money, depositing money is free, but withdrawing it requires a handling fee of one thousandth to one percent, which is a necessary fee.”

Tang Sen nodded and said, "It's very reasonable, and it's too cheap."

He threw the Galleon in his hand on the ground casually, and said, "Then it will be calculated as one percent of the top mark."

Deng Huan became excited, and snapped his fingers and said quickly: "That is to say, as long as someone takes out a hundred gold Galleons from Gringotts, not from the guest's vault, we can get an extra gold Galleon." handling fee?"

"That's right." Tang Sen nodded and said, "Is this a little less?"

Denghuan jumped up and was about to speak, but Tang Sen had already continued: "Well, based on the particularity of this business, I think it is reasonable to give Gringotts a 5.00% reward, that is, every Take away one hundred Galleons, and Gringotts can get six Galleons."

He hesitated and frowned.

"I hate the number six, forget it, round it up, let's just have ten Galleons."

He looked at the light ring that was completely sluggish, with no reaction on his face, stretched out his hand and waved in front of him, and said, "You don't seem very excited, does this business embarrass you?"

"No, no embarrassment." Lantern woke up suddenly, the elf's keen talent for money made him react instantly, and screamed: "That is to say, I can own one-tenth of the wealth in this treasury? "

"To be precise, it's one-eleventh." Tang Sen corrected, "And it's not you, but the entire Gringotts."

"I am the personal manager in charge of this vault!" Lamp Ring shouted reflexively.

"Yes, of course you are." Tang Sen said, "It's just a suggestion. You may not be able to bear the risk of this business by yourself."

"Risk?" Deng Huan said without hesitation: "Gringotts is not afraid of risks!"

As long as the benefits are big enough.

Deng Huan didn't say this sentence, but both of them knew it well.

"Very good." Tang Sen didn't say much, "So, happy cooperation?"

"Seeing you today is really the best day in Deng Huan's life!" Deng Huan stretched out his hand and said, "I don't know your name yet."

Tang Sen had no intention of shaking his hand, but just said, "You don't need to know."

"However. We still need to sign various documents. Including the purchase contract of the private treasury, the entrustment contract for the distribution of gold coins, and of course the most important part about the handling fee."

"No need, no need."

Tang Sen walked towards the outside of the vault.

"This—" Deng Huan looked back at the suitcase in the vault, at the mountains of Galleons piled up, and then at Tang Sen who didn't care about it, and walked directly to the vehicle, revealing I don't know how many times I have an incomprehensible expression today.

"Guest. I don't understand."

He stood still, unable to move.

"Without those contracts—"

"You want to say that if I don't sign those things, I can't protect the rights and interests of my wealth, right?" Tang Sen said calmly, "It's strange, I'm not worried, what are you worried about?"

"But, in this case, the money."

"Contracts are not the only thing that can restrain others in this world, Mr. Light Ring." Tang Sen got on the vehicle and said, "Money is just a number to me. I don't care about this money, but this money is important to you. It's an enormous risk."

"So, I trust that Gringotts will fulfill my business and take good care of my wealth."

"As long as you have some brains and are not blinded by greed, then you will know soon."

He lowered the brim of his hat, looking at the light ring with his shadowy eyes.

"Gringotts cannot afford the consequences of breaching the contract."

The goblins of Gringotts soon learned the meaning of what the mysterious visitor had said.

A news spread quickly later in the day, first in Diagon Alley, then in the whole of London, and by the next morning, almost every wizard in the British magic circle was discussing it, and even other countries across the strait , have heard.

"I will be at Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, on the morning of the second Monday in February, and I will invite anyone who has information to join me - whatever your purpose may be. Come, no matter who you are, whether you are friends or enemies, Aurors or dark wizards."

"In order not to cause trouble to everyone, every guest who comes here can receive a hundred gold Galleons from Gringotts to reimburse travel expenses."

"The world needs change, all for a brighter civilization."

These words were engraved on the bar of the Leaky Cauldron where the magician once stood, which was used as a lecture platform. No one saw when and who did it. Mr. Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, claimed that he had never seen it. Anyone who is suspicious, these words seem to appear out of thin air.

The Ministry of Magic immediately erased these words, and declared that it was a shameful lie, a trap laid by people with ulterior motives pretending to be magicians, with the purpose of attracting people to Salisbury Plain to achieve some unspeakable goals. A well-known secret.

However, those who are interested have discovered that the Ministry of Magic has cooperated with relevant departments of the Muggle society to blockade the area around Stonehenge for dozens of miles, expel all Muggles, and a large number of Aurors were transferred to Wiltshire.

Some caring people noticed that the handwriting left on the bar was exactly the same as the handwriting left on the wall of the burned villa in the suburbs, which was the place where Lucius Malfoy died.

The most important evidence is that at a later date, the goblins of Gringotts personally admitted that an unknown person bought a vault in Gringotts and stored a huge amount of Galleons. According to the agreement, the goblins will appoint several commissioners to go to Stonehenge to record all the wizards present, and they have the right to withdraw a hundred gold Galleons from the treasury after the party.

There are indications that this is indeed the magician's invitation.

One hundred gold galleons is not a small amount for most wizards. It is enough to buy more than a dozen brand new wands, enough to travel around the world on a knight bus, and enough to spend a few months of life for a normal wizard family. need.

And to earn this sum of money, it only takes a trip to Salisbury Plain.

The distance between London and Salisbury Plain is quite far, but for wizards, this distance is not difficult. Whether it is apparation, Floo Network, or even riding a flying broom, wizards will not have to worry about it. Get there without hindrance.

It can be predicted that after this news spread, there would be a great shock in the entire magic world. Those wizards who originally admired the idea of ​​magicians and wanted to see this mysterious figure with their own eyes were naturally rejoiced, while those who were not impressed Wizards who are interested, even those who oppose the idea of ​​​​magicians, can't help but be moved.

The Ministry of Magic is obviously aware of this, and they are finally willing to mention the name of the magician again on the Daily Prophet, saying that the magician is an extremely dangerous criminal, and anyone who comes into contact with the magician or even helps him will break the law.

Moreover, the other party paid such a high price to lure the wizards to Salisbury Plain, and it would never be out of good intentions. The Ministry of Magic firmly believes that the other party is planning an extremely bad conspiracy, and it may even be to murder and kill the wizards. , For the safety of their own lives, the Ministry of Magic advises wizards not to be greedy for petty gains. Not only will they lose their lives, but they may also hinder the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement against magicians.

They closed all Floo network access to Wiltshire, and advised wizards to stay at home. The Ministry of Magic will announce relevant information when the magician is arrested and tried.

For this reason, they also announced that they will hold an on-site lottery draw at Diagon Alley on the same day, and the highest award will be one thousand Galleons.

It is not yet clear whether this series of countermeasures are useful, but any wizard can feel the importance that the Ministry of Magic attaches to magicians.

Some people even ridiculed that if the Ministry of Magic had adopted this attitude to confront the mysterious man earlier, maybe everyone would not have to worry about the future of the magical world. Of course, regarding this kind of remarks, the Ministry of Magic stated strongly as always that the mysterious man would never be resurrected, and everything It's Harry Potter's lie.

In short, under such an atmosphere, the agreed day finally arrived.
