Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Vol 2 Chapter 76: The difficult road to raising dragons

Like the dragon raising industry in the British magic world today, the country in his previous life was also suppressed and blocked by foreign companies.

From agricultural and animal husbandry products to energy and minerals, from high-tech chips to small milk box packaging, all aspects have been influenced by foreign monopoly groups. These companies that developed first have set up heavy barriers to gain monopoly high profits in business.

They formed industrial alliances, formulated various standards, restricted patent licensing, even maliciously lowered prices, raised raw material prices, and supported comprador enterprises.

As far as this information is concerned, it is only the tip of the iceberg that he has seen on the Internet. The real intrigues and behind-the-scenes confrontations are even more unknown.

It's not surprising that Malfoy doesn't understand these truths, but Clark wanted to promote dragon breeding at Hogwarts, so he naturally conducted a detailed investigation of the current situation of the entire British dragon breeding industry.

And when he saw those materials, combined with some information he saw on the Internet in his previous life, he would have a pretty good understanding of the barriers in the entire British dragon raising industry chain.

After all, the way of thinking of capital greed is the same, whether you are a wizard or a Muggle.

"If these four major families want to set aside the dragon-raising families in Eastern Europe and establish their own business, then they will face several problems."

Clark began to spread this knowledge to the four present, because these problems will also be encountered by them.

"First of all, as I have said before, it is necessary to apply for a dragon breeding license issued by the Department of Magical Creatures Management of the British Ministry of Magic.

If you want to apply for this certificate, you must have a huge dragon farm. Ten years ago, those dragon-raising families in Romania lobby internationally in the name of protecting the dragon's living environment and improving the quality of life of the dragon. The state adopts their production standards for the construction of dragon farms.

The standard stipulates that a small dragon farm with one to three giant dragons covers an area of ​​at least 40 square kilometers, which is equivalent to a quarter of Hogwarts.

Moreover, each dragon also needs to be equipped with a professional dragon trainer. It should be noted that these dragon trainers need to undergo special training in Romania and obtain a qualification certificate.

In addition, the entire dragon farm also needs to be covered with a large Muggle exorcism spell, with a deposit of no less than 2,000 Galleons... There are countless terms and conditions, and the requirements of the venue vary according to different dragon types. same. "

The cumbersome rules and regulations made Harry and Hagrid dizzy, and Hermione and Malfoy listened with great interest.

"A standard dragon farm will cost at least seven or eight thousand gold Galleons." Clark made a quick estimate based on the existing prices, and gave a rough amount.

"But it's just the beginning!"

"As long as it's a problem that Jin Galleon can solve, it's not really a problem. The business of the four major families has accumulated huge wealth. It's only seven or eight thousand gold Galleons, and they can still get it."

Clark stretched out his finger and shook it, "But it's not enough to have a dragon farm alone, you also have to have a giant dragon."

The four of them turned to look at Norbert, who was huddled in the corner.

"Nowadays, there are not many wild dragons in the world. These ferocious big guys are difficult to hide in front of the increasingly active Muggles alone, so most of them hide in the secret protection areas set up by the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

And if you want to tame a giant dragon, you have to start from the hatching of dragon eggs. The wizarding world has not invented cloning magic yet.

Therefore, the Romanian dragon breeding family took advantage of the monopoly to build the best dragon breeding farm in the world. At the same time, they were the only ones with the most complete dragon egg bank.

The bloodline of a fire dragon is very powerful, and the corresponding reproductive capacity is very low. If two or three fire dragons are together, they may not be able to give birth to a dragon egg for more than ten years.

Only Romania has a special habitat for dragons, which can improve the success rate of egg laying and hatching.

Therefore, many small dragon farms often need to buy dragon eggs or hatched young dragons from dragon families in Romania.

Not to mention that the British Ministry of Magic has classified dragon eggs as a Class-A trade item, and its import and export are prohibited. Even if they apply to the official for introduction and purchase, those Eastern European dragon-raising families will not sell them. "

Hearing this, Hermione's face showed a puzzled expression. She seemed to have thought of something wrong. She was about to ask, but she saw Clark's eyes, so she obediently closed her mouth.

"But if there are only these restrictions, it's actually okay. After all, there are still one or two private dragon farms in the UK that have applied for a dragon breeding license. The key is to maintain and make profits after the dragon farm is established."

"Make money? With a dragon farm, are you afraid that you won't be able to make money? You said just now that this is a big business involving hundreds of thousands of gold Galleons. If you find it difficult, you can leave it to us. The family will do it." Malfoy interjected with a look of disdain.

Clark glanced at him coldly, with a threat beyond words, "Shut up! Listen to me, if you don't want to participate, you can go out now."

Malfoy was stared at by him, he resolutely obeyed his heart, and raised his hand to surrender, he couldn't just leave before he got Xiaolong~www.readwn.com~.

"Hagrid, you've been feeding Norbert recently, right?" Clark looked at Hagrid again.

Hagrid nodded hastily. Although he had only been feeding for less than a week, his purse was obviously embarrassed.

"A fire dragon in its youth can eat as much as a lion in its prime, and it has to eat ten kilograms of fresh meat for a meal. But it only has one meal a day, so after all, it will have to eat more than 300 kilograms of fresh meat a month. Meat.

There is no large-scale animal husbandry in the wizarding world, and magic cannot produce food, so these fresh meat must be purchased from the Muggle society. According to the Muggle price, a kilogram of pork costs five pounds, and five pounds in Gringotts can be exchanged for one Galleon. "

"Ah! That dragon would have to spend three hundred Galleons per month!"

Hermione's mental arithmetic was so fast that she almost made her debut, while Harry was still counting his fingers there.

Malfoy was also taken aback by this price. Although he has not yet participated in the family's business, he knows that their family's monthly income is almost a little more than this number.

From this point of view, the cost for their family to adopt a dragon in Romania is really not that much.

"That's more than that. Adult fire dragons eat more."

Clark shook his head.

"And you only count the cost of feeding, because the bones and scales of giant dragons are very hard, so they have to add a little precious metal minerals and some magic materials when they grow up, which is also a lot of expenses. ."

"What about the dragon farm in Romania?" Malfoy forgot Clark's warning and asked curiously, "I remember them, but they raised dozens of dragons."
