Overturning Hogwarts

Chapter 41 Is this worthy of being called a bank?

Long before Zhang Rui entered Hogwarts, he acquired a local toy manufacturing company in London. Of course, this was just for disguise.

In fact, it is a material transfer station for him. All kinds of daily necessities, electronic products and even important documents are obtained through here.

After all, you can’t expect an owl to fly from the UK to Hong Kong and bring express delivery back.

As for whether the people working in the middle would be exposed if they saw that the owl could actually deliver letters and express delivery, Zhang Rui didn't think it mattered.

First of all, of course, we must choose someone who is reliable and trustworthy, that is, the capable woman who was transferred from Hong Kong and entrusted with important tasks. Letting her know the boss's little secret is a sign of trust, and naturally she will not spread it to outsiders.

Secondly, there are still many people who believe in mysterious powers these days. There are endless legends about special powers, the Loch Ness Monster, and even aliens. They are not really worth making a fuss about. It is just one more interesting story.

Finally, even if ordinary people without magic power and wands know that there is Hogwarts and there is magic, what can they do?

People like Zhang Rui, who have the advantage of being a prophet and have studied at Hogwarts for several months, cannot cast spells without their wands, let alone ordinary people.

If it really gets too big, the British Ministry of Magic will come forward to erase the memories of these ordinary people anyway. Although Zhang Rui will be exposed, he already has a way to deal with it.

First, we went to a Chinese restaurant and had a good meal of home-cooked food.

There was no way around it. Although the food at Hogwarts was good and he was a frequent visitor to the kitchen, they were all British dishes, and the vegetables were just chopped and mixed with salad dressing.

I can eat it, but I’m not used to it.

Zhang Rui once thought about teaching Chinese cooking skills to the elves to improve the food, but he found that he didn't know how to do it.

In my previous life, I ate takeout from canteens. With so much money in this life, why do I need to learn how to cook?

……

After eating well and taking some time to listen to some of the company's report summaries and give instructions, Zhang Rui got up and headed to Diagon Alley again.

It was still the same street where he was looking for the little wizard before. Even though he already knew the specific location, it still took him a long time to find the Leaky Cauldron - a small shabby shop between a bookstore and a record store.

Zhang Rui walked into the dark and dirty Leaky Cauldron Bar with two British bodyguards. Ignoring the curious looks of the wizards, he walked directly through the bar to the small courtyard surrounded by walls.

The other wizards saw that he was so familiar and didn't think much about it. After all, it was impossible to tell the difference between Muggles and wizards based on their appearance.

"Don't be nervous, they are just filming, these are magic props."

Zhang Rui casually comforted the two obviously uneasy bodyguards, and then triggered the trap in Diagon Alley.

If he didn't need someone to help him get money and things, he wouldn't have brought these two people in. There are obviously great risks in hiring an adult wizard at random.

But there is no need to worry about what the two of them know. Anyway, after leaving, they will directly send a letter to the Ministry of Magic saying that these two Muggles have sneaked into Diagon Alley, and the people from the Ministry of Magic will help them forget all this.

The bricks he knocked shook, and a wide archway appeared in the middle, leading to a winding cobblestone street with no end in sight.

"what!"

The bodyguard behind him exclaimed, this is obviously not a prop!

"Don't worry, this is not a secret in our upper class society, and I am not an alien." Zhang Rui said casually, and then walked in first.

The two bodyguards looked at each other in horror, then thought of the high remuneration and the upper-class status mentioned by their employer, and finally gritted their teeth and followed.

First, of course, he went to Gringotts to exchange money. Zhang Rui was fed up with the life of not being able to spend money lavishly.

Gringotts is also easy to find, just like banks are always conspicuous.

However, the goblins of Gringotts still frightened the ordinary bodyguard, who hesitated at the door and did not dare to step forward.

"Wait for me outside, don't let people here find out your identity, otherwise... g~" Zhang Rui gestured to wipe his neck and threatened fiercely.

Otherwise, you will cause trouble for me.

Naturally, the two bodyguards did not dare to run around. They stood on the roadside cautiously, looking at everything curiously.

"In exchange for money, I want gold galleons!"

Zhang Rui said directly to the goblin at the counter.

"What is the exchange rate? The current exchange rate between gold galleons and British pounds is 1:5."

The goblin adjusted his glasses, obviously seeing that Zhang Rui was born as a Muggle. After all, people who have been living in the wizarding world can only withdraw and save money.

so cheap?

"Let's exchange it for one hundred thousand gold galleons first."

"Puff~"

The goblin fell off the counter, then got up without even noticing that he had dropped his glasses.

"How many, how much?" the goblin asked in disbelief.

"One hundred thousand, the money is here."

Zhang Rui put the two suitcases on the counter with difficulty.

The maximum denomination of the pound is 50, which is almost more than pounds per pound. Here, there are pounds, which is almost more than pounds.

The goblin looked at the two boxes of money in shock. Although they were a bank, it was rare to see such rich Muggle wizards.

"Sorry, we don't have that many Galleons right now."

As the wizarding world's bank, Gringotts' business methods are still very backward. It is more responsible for keeping gold galleons, rather than absorbing deposits and investing them to increase their value.

So now there are definitely more than one hundred thousand or even millions of gold coins in Gringotts, but they are all in the wizard's personal vault, and the goblins will not and cannot touch them.

"Not even 100,000?" Zhang Rui was disappointed. This is worthy of being called a bank, and it dared to boast so much.

"No, no." The goblin said awkwardly.

"How many do you have?"

"Probably only more than 10,000..."

"What is more than ten thousand enough for?"

Zhang Rui has many plans. He wants to invest in the wizarding world and even bribe officials from the Ministry of Magic to do things for him. More than ten thousand gold galleons is indeed too little for him.

Fairy Heart said, more than ten thousand gold galleons is already a lot of cash.

Except for the treasure troves of pure-blood wizard families, few wizards can afford so many gold Galleons. After all, the most commonly used currencies now are Copper Nuts and Silver Sickles. Generally, the savings of a middle-level wizard family are only a few hundred gold. Galleons. Even many adult wizards cannot afford dozens of gold galleons.

"Forget it, give me as much as you have." Zhang Rui sighed.

"Well, I can't give it all to you. After all, we still have to keep some."

The normal operation of Gringotts is also inseparable from money.

Zhang Rui waved his hand tiredly and said, "Just give me as much as you want."

Finally, the goblin helped Zhang Rui deliver five thousand gold galleons and two boxes of money (none of which was used) to the door, and saluted respectfully to welcome him to his next visit.

"Next time I come, how many gold galleons can you exchange for me?" Zhang Rui asked angrily.

The goblin could only smile awkwardly. He hoped that Zhang Rui would bring a bunch of gold galleons to Gringotts next time to store them. The goblin preferred those sparkling gold coins to pounds.

Zhang Rui even suspected that it was because of this that these goblins were reluctant to exchange the gold Gallons for him.
