A day at Hogwarts
Chapter 420 Provoking Conflict
If you don't count the Spring Festival travel rush, the East African animal migration that starts in June every year is the largest animal migration in the world, attracting countless tourists.
Animals such as zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, African elephants, lions, serpents and leopards travel 3,000 kilometers to where there is food.
A light plane flew over the vast grassland, and the passengers in the cabin kept killing the film in the camera.
After the plane landed, the tourists came to the hotel's service center, where they could develop and dry photos.
However, one young tourist did not go there, but planned to do it himself because the photos he developed were in GIF format.
This hotel offers a variety of guest rooms, including local-style wooden houses and tree houses that are popular among British tourists.
The Queen of England was on vacation here. One day, she was still a princess when she climbed up the tree house, and she was already the queen when she came down.
After dinner, a person who looked exactly like Eleanor walked into the tree house, and a person who had been staying here and looked exactly like Charles was about to go into the bathroom.
"The blue bottle in the drawer of the bedside table, thank you."
An hour later, Charles and Eleanor returned to their original appearance.
Charles asked curiously: "Have you researched the potion to crack the polyjuice potion?"
Eleanor was blowing her hair with a hair dryer and replied: "There are many ways, there are in Gringotts, it's not a difficult thing."
After blowing her hair, she took a can of beer and a bottle of happy water from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa, handed the happy water to Charles next to her, and asked: "Can you tell me what you did?"
Eleanor was very curious. This time Charles suddenly called her from London to Africa thousands of miles away to help him with his alibi. There must be something big.
Charles took a sip of happy water, sighed, and said: "It's a just thing, and it's very dangerous. It will kill people."
This matter offended the American No-Maj and wizard government. If they knew who did it, they would kill them.
That's why Charles went to Moscow for help.
Eleanor smiled, took a sip of beer, and said helplessly: "You make it sound like I won't die."
"If you don't want to say it, forget it."
Charles could understand her feelings. Being an undercover agent is not something that ordinary people can do.
Eleanor took another sip of beer and continued: "We have mastered most of Gringotts' channels in the UK, and are now lobbying European countries to take joint action."
Charles didn't want to comment on this matter. This was the scope of work for the old man and Grindelwald.
Eleanor said while drinking: "The International Statute of Secrecy is not as useful as many people think. The goblins have a monopoly on food trade."
She smiled and continued: "But this monopoly is a joke. Only pure-blood wizard families will go to them to spend a lot of money to buy food."
"So, we decided to raise the price."
Charles understood a little.
Traditional wizards in the UK are path-dependent when purchasing food. They always buy from where they used to buy, which gives the goblins room to operate.
But wizards like Harry have connections with the Muggle world. If the goblins are selling it at a high price, they can just go to the supermarket to buy it. No one's money comes from the wind.
Charles asked Eleanor: "Do you control the upstream?"
To raise prices, you have to control the upstream of the channel. It seems that those people have found someone to cooperate with the goblins.
Eleanor replied: "Yes, several very old families have produced wizards."
"They don't have much power and have been hiding in the local area."
Charles curled his lips. Is this the iron fist of capitalism beating the old feudalism?
Eleanor continued: "Starting before Easter."
Charles pinched his chin and thought.
This action has limited impact on the wizarding society as a whole. The trouble is concentrated on pure wizards such as the Weasley family and the Longbottom family, and they have the loudest voice in this society.
If their interests are damaged, they will inevitably jump out, so who will the spearhead be directed at?
The answer is self-evident, it is the goblins.
When the conflict between wizards and goblins is aroused this time, there will be a gap, and the future work will be easy to carry out.
Other fields are another matter. When it comes to being a troublemaker, Charles believes in the level of traditional British craftsmanship.
This matter may take several years. Considering that Eleanor has been undercover for so many years, those people are probably not in a hurry.
Charles frowned suddenly and asked, "Does this matter require my cooperation?"
Eleanor is not a person who does not know the importance of things. It stands to reason that such a big thing should not be told to a small shrimp like her. Now that she has said it, it is obviously for a purpose.
"Yes." Eleanor said seriously, "We plan to let you take over this part of the business in the future."
Charles immediately refused.
The purpose of those people is very clear. While attacking the goblins, they set an example for wizards and tell everyone that it is bad to cooperate with goblins, and wizards should cooperate with wizards.
Now that the Dancing Grass Restaurant has a firm foothold in the catering field, it can open a breakthrough from this point and occupy the food market of the wizarding society.
Charles will definitely not agree. The food sector is not something he can handle. He does not have the energy.
There is no need to think about finding an agent after taking it over. There is no one who is trustworthy who is suitable for this business.
Don't even think about Harry and Hermione, they have their own ideals and won't do it.
Fleur is trustworthy, but she is French, and the British will never let the French control their own food sacks.
Seamus is even less likely than Fleur, simply because he is Irish.
In Charles' plan, Dancing Grass can sell takeaways, pre-prepared dishes and semi-finished products, but it is impossible to sell agricultural products directly. No restaurant will do this.
Eleanor shrugged when she saw Charles' refusal. She was just passing on a message.
"By the way." Eleanor remembered something, "Someone sent you an anonymous letter with a Gringotts check in it, and it was written by you."
"I came in a hurry and put it in the safe in the office."
Charles thought about it. Recently, he had only written checks to Malfoy. Does this kid not want to do it?
He didn't care. If he didn't want to do it, then he didn't do it.
Then Charles asked about the Centaur Liaison Office.
Eleanor was silent for a while, and said, "I have a hunch that the Ministry may take action against our office."
"Now our business network is all over the world. The Ministry has begun to ask us to find out information. It may become an intelligence organization in the future."
Charles was a little puzzled. Why did the Ministry suddenly become smart and actually want to set up an intelligence organization?
He suddenly thought, could it be Grindelwald's doing?
"Let them do whatever they want." Charles shook his head, "At worst, they don't want this department or the business, you can go to another idle department."
Eleanor lowered her head, squeezed the beer can with both hands, bit her lips tightly, and whispered a few minutes later: "I want to be in charge of this department."
Charles raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and found that she looked at him with a serious expression.
The work of the intelligence department is not something that ordinary people can do. There are political struggles inside and foreign forces outside. If you are not careful, death is a luxury.
How to preside over the work of the subordinates and how to make the leaders trust you are all difficult technical jobs.
"Do it if you want to." Charles patted her shoulder.
He knew very well what kind of person Eleanor was, and she would not change her decision easily.
