Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

Gary Vickers?

Hearing the name, Elena curiously leaned out of Professor McGonagall's head and looked at Gary Vickers standing behind the elf. She is not bad about the impression of the fairy who first received her and Dumbledore at Gu Lingge, at least it is closer to some professional managers in later generations in professional qualities.

However, to be honest, apart from men, women and children, the difference between elves in Elina's eyes is not that big: they are all short stature, dark faces, and long, pointed fingers, just like Pinocchio. Long nose bridge. Therefore, until now she didn't recognize the familiar guide fairy.

"Cough, respected British Minister of Magic, director of Hogwarts Board of Directors, Gu Ling Ge has always attached great importance to the friendship between goblins and human wizards."

Fairy Gary Vickers straightened his waist bar, picked up the long parchment, glanced at Fudge and Greengrass, and quickly glanced at Dumbledore, who was slightly behind, and read it one by one.

"Given the proposal of the British Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts Board of Directors, after careful discussion, the Elder Council of the Gullinge Fairy will decide to make certain concessions, including the waiver of approximately 300 million gold gallons in handling fees, Proof of Salazar Slytherin ’s castle land. "

"Sounds tempting, so what are the conditions?"

Fuji nodded unmoved, Shen Sheng asked.

Although he has always been criticized for lack of ability, but being able to serve as the Minister of Magic, Connelly Fudge can never be a useless lucky man. He will not believe in his heart that this group of wealthy fairies will make losses. Business.

"Some insignificant, administrative conveniences only." Gary Vickers bowed respectfully and said with a smile, "Gulinge hopes to be able to pilot a lighter, new currency in the UK to replace heavy Metal coins. You can think of each new currency as a miniature loan contract, and any wizard can use this contract to exchange the equivalent of gold gallon at Gu Ling Pavilion. "

"Like the Muggle countries, colorful little pieces of paper called pounds or dollars?"

"Yes, that's exactly what it is. The non-magic world has been implementing this currency system for a long time, and it turns out that it does have a very positive role in promoting the trade circulation of the entire society."

"But this does not seem to be good for you fairies?"

Fuji frowned, and instinctively felt something was wrong, but couldn't find the problem for a while.

"No no no, this is already the biggest enjoyment."

Gary Vickers smiled and shook his head, his slender index finger raised, and his dark face showed a serious look, "Dear Lord Minister. Just like human women like shiny jewelry, our leprechaun, the only fun is listening to gold The sound of Garon colliding with each other. "

"Well, is there anything else?" Fudge raised his eyebrows with a clear face, which is in line with his understanding of the goblins. These cunning magical creatures always have a nearly pathological attachment to gold coins.

Seeing Fudge's tone seem to be loosened, a light flashed in Gary Vickers' eyes, and his body bent a little further, saying humbly, "The second thing, Gu Ling Pavilion hopes to be able to carry out a broader Cooperation, we hope to increase the number of human employees by at least 500 each year to participate in the daily operations of the Gulinge Wizard Bank. "

"Oh, increase the number of employment? This is really my heart. In fact, you see, many wizards in the magic world can't find a suitable job. I think your proposal sounds really great."

Fuji nodded approvingly and answered gently.

"Yes, actually we also want to take this opportunity to deepen our friendship. Although this castle is fascinating, we think that there are some more important things to do."

Gary Vickers ’s expression also became lighter, and he smiled quite happily, “The last point, you need to understand, after all, if you terminate the contract directly, Gu Ling Ge will lose close to 800 million gold gallons of huge wealth We have to get back the principal of the sum. "

"Oh, don't you think about this? The Ministry of Magic doesn't have that much liquidity." Fudge waved his hand and said.

"For a long time, the Ministry of Magic has played a vital role in the stability of the entire magic world. However, for the sake of their own interests, a large number of workshops and companies often hide their profits to avoid taxes."

As he said, Gary Vickers pointed to himself, "And our Gu Ling Pavilion can help the Ministry of Magic to audit and audit accounts to find those who evade taxes. What we need is nothing more than additional tax revenue. In the case, a portion of the ratio is withdrawn to Gu Ling Pavilion and used to repay the principal of this loan. "

"Gentlemen, it sounds like there is no reason for refusal. Such sincerity, if anyone refuses, it must be the No. 1 fool."

Fuji looked at the frowning Greengrass around him, and then turned to look at Dumbledore with a pensive look behind him, and suddenly laughed.

"Of course, so happy cooperation, Gu Lingge will send the real estate certificate to your office tomorrow ..."

Gary Vickers also smiled, rolled up the parchment in his hand, and said easily, patting the shoulder of the companion companion beside him happily, his eyes full of pride.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

The smile on Fudge's face suddenly squeezed, he took a deep breath and said seriously.

"Huh?" The expressions on the smiling fairies' faces stiffened.

"I mean, the Ministry of Magic will not agree to the above requirements." Connelly Fudge repeated again.

"You are kidding ... This joke is not fun." Gary Vickers felt that his smile must be a bit ugly, and said dryly.

"As you said, I am not a particularly smart and capable Minister of Magic. The reason why UU has read www.uukanshu.com has never been a big mistake in more than a year. One of the most important principles is that Do n’t make promises in areas you do n’t understand. If a problem makes a wizard like Dumbledore hesitate, then it ’s definitely not something I can decide directly. ”

Fuji shook his head, exchanged glances with Greengrass, sorted out the shirt of his suit, and said easily.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Greengrass smiled slightly, stepped forward, and gently clapped his hands.

"Then gentlemen. Let's change the subject. If the Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts Board of Directors can provide enough gold gallons to repay their debts, can they legally recover the contract of Hogwarts Castle from you? What about? "

"If you think about it again, it is 800 million gold gallons ..."

Garyvex's voice was a little sharp, he didn't understand why such a tempting condition would be completely rejected.

This time, Fudge ignored him and shook his head again.

"I don't think you will just accompany the young man and take a breath of the fresh air of the Scottish Highlands? One of the eleven elder elders of the Gulling Pavilion, His Excellency Leos."

When speaking of the last sentence, Fudge looked firmly at the wrinkled old goblin who had been closing his eyes and sleeping.

"Okay, Gary Vickers, come back. I said earlier that although human wizards are not sensitive to money, it does not mean that they are stupid and easy to be deceived."

Leos opened his eyes violently, and the turbid eyes of the old dragon bell exuded a fascinating light, looking at the people in front of him.

"Let's talk about the contract itself."
