Hogwarts: Become the Heir of the Family at the Start

Chapter 3 Expensive herbs

“Doing business? What is important is a sincere cooperation, mutual benefit, brother Malfoy, is that the truth?”

“Um…..”

Abraxas nodded reluctantly.

Hodge didn’t mind, he smiled before continuing: “Well, let’s not talk about how much an ounce is. The herbs are provided by me, and there is no limit. Of course, I also want to sell the medicine. How does Brother Malfoy feel about taking 30% of the profit from it?”

“This…well, you won!”

What else could Abramaxus do? After thinking about it for a while, he felt that he was not at a disadvantage, so he agreed.

“No, we are a win-win cooperation.”

“Haha, I really can’t say you kid, okay, okay, for our win-win cooperation, earn more Jin Jialong, cheers!”

While speaking, Abraxas raised the black tea in his hand.

“cheers.”

Hodge smiled and raised his glass, and took a small sip.

The matter is over.

After chatting for a while, after signing the contract and getting the first batch of herbs provided by Hodge, Malfoy and his son left.

Actually, the herbal medicine that Hodge provided them was nothing.

Because in the legendary temple, this kind of herbal medicine is the material used to make red medicine. It is the cheapest and most common thing, and it can be seen almost everywhere on the Marfa continent.

Of course.

Is the worldview different?

It’s not rare on the Marfa Continent, but when it comes to the real world of wizards, this is the best high-level medicinal material.

Dozens of gold plus one ounce, to be honest, the price is not expensive at all.

After all, the wizarding world has its own value measurement standards, and the prices of those high-end herbs and materials are generally at this price.

Ten gallons per leaf.

Ten gallons of a hair.

Ten gallons for a drop of blood.

They are all very common things, not surprising at all.

“Master, dinner is ready.”

“Um.”

Sitting at the dining table, Hodge ate a simple dinner alone.

Just a few dishes, grilled sausage, onion pie, beef pudding and a bowl of soup.

Compared with the house where he lives, this ‘extremely crude’ food is definitely a world, and it can be called the difference between cloud and mud.

But there is no way.

The ancient wizard family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, just sounds nice.

Because they don’t know how to operate and generate income, the Campbell family’s economy has already entered a precarious position for nearly two hundred years.

In the generation of Hodge’s grandfather.

The family had an extremely difficult life. Except for the background and real estate that could not be embezzled, the deposits in Gringotts had dropped to four digits.

Thousands of Jin Jialong.

It may be a great wealth for ordinary wizard families, but it is obviously not enough to maintain the face of a thousand-year wizard family.

Among other things, the annual expenditure of family members alone is not a small figure.

And now, the family business has passed to Hodge’s hands. As the head of the family, he must provide help to those collateral staff.

For example, Hodge has an aunt who is a magic animal investigator. She usually runs around outside to do research.

Moreover, the annual expenditure is also very high, and the support of the family is especially needed.

There are also small collateral families. They look for jobs, children go to school, and they need to spend money everywhere.

If there is no support from the family, their quality of life will plummet, and many problems will arise.

Of course, this does not mean that they will only lie on the family and suck blood.

Whoever has a good life will also deny the family.

Also at critical moments, such as when the family is in crisis, the role of those collateral members should not be underestimated.

One piece of order, all staff responded!

With blood and economy as the link, many big families do this.

There is only one main line, and the other children are separated, and the branches and leaves are scattered. They usually won’t come back until the moment of crisis or when the head of the family is called.

But the other way around.

If the main pulse is not strong, eat and wait for death, do not give help to those collateral staff.

If things go on like this, the cohesion of this family will disappear.

“Carmen, is there any property under the family name?”

Selling herbs alone can’t make a lot of money, at least it’s far from what Hodge wants.

“Back to the young master, you still have a few properties and an abandoned farm under your name, two mines that have not been managed for many years.”

“It’s all deserted? What’s the reason?”

“Yes, master, the farm among them was due to a natural disaster. Master Temple couldn’t afford to repair it, so it was abandoned.”

“As for the two mines, one collapsed, causing casualties, and was blocked by the Ministry of Magic. The other was occupied by a group of dark wizards. Lord Temple didn’t want to fight with them, so It has not been dealt with.”

“Uh… this is really!”

Hodge shook his head, not knowing what to say.

Say that his grandpa Temple is incompetent, but the grandpa loved him very much during his lifetime and chose him as the heir of the family.

But what about it, but in fact it is like that.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic is too awkward. When a collapse accident happened, its mines were blocked, but there were black wizards robbing the mines, why didn’t they deal with it?

To put it bluntly, is it bullying the soft and fearing the hard, bullying the good and fearing the evil? *
