Harry Potter Morning Light

Lucius Malfoy's father, Abraxas, died of dragon pox, a contagious magical disease, and James' parents also died of it.

After all, the elderly do not have the same resistance as the young, but the reason why the plague in the magic world spread was related to the gap between the rich and the poor.

The operation of St. Mungo's mainly relies on donations, and part of the medical expenses still have to be provided by the patients themselves. Patients who have dragon pox and can't afford medical treatment have no choice but to give up treatment.

In the face of illness, people are not divided into classes.

In the Middle Ages, the Black Death took not only the lives of the poor, but also princesses, princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and clergy.

The huge sum of money that Lucius donated was mainly used for those poor people who had severe infectious diseases and had no money for medical treatment.

During the death of Abraxas, the Ministry of Magic was busy fighting for power with Voldemort. No one paid attention to disease control at all. Those who should be quarantined were not quarantined, and those that should be allocated funds were not allocated. With this money, St. Mungo can at least ensure that those patients who are too poor will not go home and infect others. Lucius actually doesn't care whether he has done good deeds. He just doesn't want to die of the disease himself. .

There is nothing wrong with paying attention to your own health. The money has been donated to St. Mungo, but how to manage the money is beyond the reach of doctors who focus on medicine.

There is a kind of concept stock in the Muggle stock market. Compared with blue-chip stocks, they must be supported by good operating performance. Concept stocks only rely on the same topic and have a very powerful advertising effect.

The wizarding world does not allow the existence of a stock market, but Lucius can use this concept to raise funds. Even if he loses money, the advertising effect will be achieved. The former Death Eaters are doing good deeds, and they are protecting people's livelihood.

Draco doesn't plan to inherit the family business anymore, people from other families will inherit it, and those who have children in the family can send them there to practice their hands. They are all "donations" anyway, and they don't feel bad at all if they lose all.

Originally, this person was Blaise Zabini, but Iris hoped that he could be transferred to the end of the world, and it became a problem who to find to replace him.

There are many cases where employees make false accounts behind the boss's back and lose public funds. Cupid, who came from Ireland, was cheated by his partners.

Since the South Sea Bubble in 1720, Britain has not issued stocks for a hundred years, but capital needs a place to flow.

Since the 17th century, Britain has become the world's maritime trade center, and at the same time, the center of marine insurance has also begun to transfer to Britain.

At that time, insurance was like gambling. Insurance was a tool to transfer risks. If nothing happened, the insurance company would collect the premium paid by the customer, and if something happened, the insurance company would pay for it.

The situation on the sea is unpredictable. Even if the sea is calm, you may encounter pirates. Most traders will buy insurance to transfer risks.

But sometimes the merchants also have problems with turnover. If luck is good, the ship arrives safely. If luck is not good, the ship owner not only loses a ship of goods, but also pays for the casualties of the seafarers. is very normal.

Palmerston inherited a property of 75,000 pounds from his father and a debt of 90,000 pounds. It is definitely not worthwhile to inherit this inheritance simply by adding and subtracting, but most companies have to bear debts Yes, and the debt can be restructured, that is to say, as long as the original debt repayment conditions are modified, the creditor will make concessions in accordance with the agreement reached with the debtor or the ruling of the court.

As long as there is liquidity in hand, there are still opportunities. Many children of rich people in Muggle schools now study on loans. It's not that they can't afford the tuition fees, but they let the working capital be in their own hands, so that they will have start-up funds after graduation. Coupled with the external pressure brought by the loan, they will study harder.

Time is also one of the costs of the game, and the side with plenty of time is definitely more beneficial than the side with tight time.

During the Crimean War, not only the Russians were short of money, but the French were also short of money. Napoleon sold 2.6 million square kilometers of Louisiana for 80 million francs.

During the reign of Tsar Ivan IV of Russia, he encouraged Russian merchants and Cossack cavalry to freely explore land and develop trade without paying taxes.

Driven by huge profits, these people set their sights on the fur business in Siberia one after another. You must know that at that time, a sable fur could earn a large amount of gold and silver when it was brought to Europe, so it was also called "soft gold".

In addition, the surface of Alaska is basically a barren land. In 1854, a businessman from the United States came to St. Petersburg and met with the then Russian minister Nikolaevich. The two had a long discussion. Three years later, in 1857, Nikolaevich proposed to the Russian government to sell Alaska.

The reason he gave was: the unification of North America by the United States is foreseeable, and Alaska will not bring huge benefits to Russia, and it will not have any impact if it is sold. Although the Minister of Foreign Affairs disagreed, the Tsar commented: It is worth considering. Nikolaevich is the younger brother of the tsar, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Gorchakov, although he did not agree to sell Alaska, but he did not dare to go against the tsar's will, so he took the method of delaying it for 10 years. . Although the United States is in a civil war, it does not relax about things in Alaska, especially Nikolaevich, who often agitates in front of the tsar, and also draws many ministers into his camp, especially the Minister of Finance Reiten. In September 1866, Reiten, the Minister of Finance, gave the Tsar an application for the examination, saying that in recent years, the debts had been high and the national treasury was empty. It was necessary to raise 4.5 million rubles as soon as possible. Only international loans could solve this problem. In fact, it is the kind of warning to the tsar that whether to sell Alaska is closely related to whether he can get a loan. In other words, selling Alaska can not only get a loan, but even postpone the repayment. In 1866, the Tsar finally decided to sell Alaska for 5 million cash.

In March 1867, the negotiations between the United States and Russia were coming to an end, and the United States made a change from 5 million gold coins to 7.2 million. Even if Baron Scekli reported to the tsar, the tsar ordered to collect the money as soon as possible and deposit the money in a bank in London.

On February 29, 1867, the two parties formally signed the agreement, so that the United States directly obtained Alaska without paying, but later the United States did not agree to pay in London, because the London Bank is the private account of the Tsarist Russian royal family, and the national account of Tsarist Russia is in England.

In the 1990 "Tsarist Russia America" ​​exhibition, there was a receipt issued by the Russian side for the purchase of Alaska by the United States. According to historical records, the transaction was paid in Washington, but the receipt did not show New York, and the recipient of the receipt was Skekli , Although as a representative, he has the right to collect money, but the follow-up has to go through the Russian Ministry of Finance to transport all the gold coins back to St. Petersburg, but what Stekli has is banknotes. The banknotes at that time could not be compared with gold coins at all, and their value was much lower. 7.2 million banknotes were equivalent to 5.4 million gold coins.

In this way, Baron Skeli caused Russia to lose nearly 1.8 million gold coins, and the money remitted to the Bank of London after the receipt was handed in was only 7.035 million US dollars, and the rest was also intercepted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Coupled with the later discovery of fishing grounds, gold mines and natural gas in Alaska, the Russians lost money on this deal.

During the Second War of Independence in 1812, Lord Cupid made a fortune through the war, but the money was stolen by his partners.

The British Postal Savings Bank was established by the Palmerston government in 1861. It is the first postal savings system in the world. Its predecessor was a state-owned savings bank in the United Kingdom. It is the executive arm of UK non-ministerial government departments and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The bank's main task is to attract funds from individual depositors to finance the UK government's public sector borrowing needs.

The outbreak of the plague is a public crisis. The income of the Ministry of Magic is mainly political donations and sales of controlled trade goods, and there may be no surplus funds allocated to St. Mungo.

A banker refers to someone who is good at turning the business vision in the bud into a commercial reality. Although human nature is evil, the education that people receive is to guide people to be good. That kind of money can be lent to the Ministry of Magic, and then charge some interest slowly. Return slowly. The Ministry of Magic only needs to change the guidance of public opinion, and stop saying that all Slytherins are bad embryos.

Little Henry Shaw's family is very rich, but he didn't use his family's money when he ran for the election. Draco used his own family's money to change brooms for the Slytherin team. Pomona really didn't know what to say What's up with this kid.

Compared with his father, Draco was really far worse. As Narcissa said, he was just a spoiled boy, and if he really succeeded in inheriting the family business, he would have suffered as much as Sirius.

There is also a million pounds. The first thing for the lucky winner in the newspaper is to buy a house. This kind of real estate moves too slowly and takes up a lot of liquidity.

Otherwise, buying cars and luxury goods will be squandered quickly. There are so many financial institutions in London, why not go and find out.

Weasley had 700 Galleons at home and immediately used them for travel, just like in the story "Million Pounds", although Adams lost money, he gained a lot.

Pomona envied the poor but happy life of the Weasley family. The six years in seclusion were her happiest time, but those days were gone forever.

"Sleep well, my prince." She kissed Severus on the cheek as he fell asleep on her lap.

Lucius had asked Iris to show Severus the files without actually showing them to him.

Sly albino snake.

Pomona sighed, took out a bunch of documents from her flannel pocket and looked at them.
