Chapter 65 The President's Anger

"These negative news are shaking the foundation of Gringotts!"

The luxuriously decorated house is full of goblins.If people who are familiar with goblins are asked to identify them, they may be surprised: the goblins in the room almost include the entire management of Gringotts.

In other words, if the Ministry of Magic took out a cannon and bombarded this place now, the entire Gringotts would be completely beheaded.

In September 1991, the economic situation of the world can be said to be volatile.The assassination of the Soviet Union that shocked the world a month ago was more like a fuse that ignited a powder keg, piercing the calm before the storm.

Prior to this, Lithuania and Georgia had become independent, but after the incident known as the "Sunshot Incident", the Soviet Union collapsed more quickly like dominoes, and Estonia and Latvia also declared their independence successively.

But fortunately, the original August 8 speech suggesting the dissolution of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union did not happen, and the Soviet Union was still hanging its last breath.In Lu Ren's previous life, after the dissolution of the Soviet Communist Party on August 24, the Soviet Union had already existed in name only. From the 8th to the 24st, in just 24 days, 31 member countries declared independence.And now they remain in the big family of the Soviet Union.

But now the Soviet Union's control over the following has been weakened to a negligible level.A large number of local officials are selling state-owned assets at the speed of light, and capital predators in various countries have also been moved by the wind. The young president Grigorievich has almost no countermeasures against it.His ability to temporarily stabilize the situation is already a super-level performance.

As a giant in the investment world, Gringotts was not immune. They invested a huge amount of money into the Soviet market and took food from other giants.

The situation is changing rapidly. It stands to reason that these goblin executives should be proud of being involved in various financial activities, but now they are gathered in a room, listening to an old goblin's chattering complaints.

The old goblin's name is Deoch VII, and he is the current president of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank.His ancestors lived in France, then moved to England, and became president of the bank under D'Auch IV - a position that has been held by his family for four generations.

Auch means gold in French, and De is the surname of a nobleman. Just like his name, he is very good at investing, and he also likes golden cuties very much.

The elegant Deoch VII in the past has disappeared, his face is full of despondency, and his gray hair is scattered casually on his head.

"The news may leak out. Those pure-blood families still insisted on checking their own treasury. They mainly suspected that we secretly embezzled their assets—we did embezzle them." A middle-aged goblin spread out a copy of " The Daily Prophet, explaining to Deoch VII nervously at the table.

With his gold-rimmed spectacles, Deoch VII struggled to read the headline in the newspaper, "If we throw Estes out, everything will be fine."

There was silence in the room, another goblin minister glanced at the middle-aged goblin who had just spoken, and the middle-aged goblin took a deep breath: "The great leader... Estes..."

A bald goblin beside him said coldly: "Estes is not enough to quell the anger and doubts of wizards. More and more families express the need to check their own treasury. The Ministry of Magic also sent a notice saying that wizards have The right to know the condition of your own coffers."

Obviously, the Ministry of Magic is still very happy to cause some trouble for Gringotts. It takes a huge amount of manpower to count each house, and maybe it can take advantage of the opportunity to reap some benefits.

In normal times, this would not be a big deal to Gringotts, but now they have misappropriated a large amount of funds to invest in the Soviet Union, and a total of 3000 million Galleons were robbed last night!

If wizards come in now, they will be pleasantly surprised to find that their treasury has become empty.

How much gold do I have?What about the big pile of Galleons?It was there last week!
Deoch VII stretched out his trembling hand and took off his glasses - he didn't need to read the newspaper anymore.

"Gerda, Jodl, Kreps and Burgdorf stay."

The other goblins breathed a sigh of relief: finally they no longer have to face Deoch VII.The suffocating pressure is really terrifying.

The remaining few goblins are the real top figures of the bank, and they are also the hard-core cronies of Deoch VII.

"Enough is enough! I've made enough concessions! How can wizards not appreciate it! Has it come to this? All organizations have turned their backs on us, even the Ministry of Magic! They are all disloyal Unrighteous, underfed wolves! They are all scum that hinder me!"

After Deoch VII and most of the goblins went out, he couldn't suppress his anger at all. He stood up, paced around the table, and growled angrily. At the end, he threw his pure gold pen heavily to the table.

"I'm so mad!" he yelled loudly, "The offerings to the officials of the Ministry of Magic are full every year! As a result, we are like raising a group of pigs who can eat with knives and forks! How many years, they only It will hold us back. I should have found a way to turn them into my puppets, just like the traitors in America."

His strength gradually drained as he vented his words, and he slowly sat back in his seat. "No one understands economics better than me...I have doubled the assets of Gringotts several times over the years, and these decisions are all correct...Durmstrang, the Soviet Union...As long as it takes a while, these Assets will increase in value tenfold! Now they are all gone... Grindelwald's people stole the money, and the Soviet Union can't cash it out quickly..."

After venting his anger, he regained some composure. "Let the wizards enter in batches and let them investigate. First recharge the assets brought to the Strange family, and we must keep the news. If the wizards know that we have been robbed of [-] million Galleons, we will be finished. "

De Auch VII quickly made a decision, and he was by no means an easy person. He quickly made a reasonable response. "Gringotts, which has a long history, has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and this time it will definitely be able to save the day." He looked resolute, and set a flag resolutely.

At the same time, in the Nordic Durmstrang teachers' dormitory, Grindelwald was half lying in an armchair near the fire, listening to the reports of his subordinates.

"...All the saints have been transferred to Durmstrang, seven of them have become teachers, and six of them are school workers. The rest of them have also been resettled in the Holy Artifact Village."

"Soviet side we are aggressively acquiring assets."

"The British Ministry of Magic, the "Daily Prophet" and the pure-blood families connected with us have also passed on the news. I believe that Gringotts will definitely fall into a disadvantageous situation in the near future."

Grindelwald pondered for a while, and ordered: "Intensify efforts, and publish their encounters in Northern Europe. I have heard a famous saying in the Muggle world that when a country or organization is going downhill, someone needs to sit in the driver's seat." seat, slam on the gas pedal."
