HP solves the mystery

"Mr. Snape, are you really planning to invest in me?" Zhang Mingyuan, wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and asked in disbelief.

Thanks to Severus often going to the shop where Zhang Mingyuan worked to eat burgers, the most important thing was that he learned Chinese language very quickly, which made him deeply impressed by this English boy.

Severus nodded and looked at the Chinese man who was working part-time as a rickshaw driver and replied seriously, "At the burger restaurant before, didn't you say you wanted to open a small restaurant or mobile stall with your friends to save some money? If you don't mind, I I can buy shares and my status will be more convenient."

His original dream of opening a store was shattered. Now that someone is investing in it, he can definitely get the dividends! Anyway, they must have an Englishman to open a store, and then the license will be approved faster.

"Uh, I mean... um... Sir, are you over 16 years old? And what if you lose money..." Zhang Mingyuan scratched his head and asked the key question. He was not very sure about the prospect of selling Chinese food in England, at least not Trick people.

Although the fabric of the clothes worn by the young man in front of him could not be seen, the quality was good. He was also polite and had a rosy complexion. At first glance, he seemed to be a wealthy man.

"Of course, Mr. Zhang, otherwise I would tell you this? And you and your wife are both good at craftsmanship...I can probably invest 2000 pounds..." Severus replied rather helplessly. He saw that a 16-year-old could ride a bicycle. After applying for a motorcycle, I got a motorcycle driver's license and then started thinking about starting a business.

Moreover, when he found out about the exchange rate, he realized that the compensation he wanted from Sirius and the others was still too little. If he had known, he should have made a ridiculous exorbitant price in the first place.

After all, it's a pity that it's a pity that you can't just sit back and pay back when you're asking for a lot of money.

Zhang Mingyuan silently examined the young man in front of him for a while, touched the sparse beard on his chin, and made a decision.

"Okay, since you trust me so much, then I will do my best, not only for you, but also for my family..." In order to thank the young man for helping him get his wallet back, when the young man came to eat burgers again, Taking the initiative to strike up a conversation, the two quickly became familiar with each other, and Severus even ate the dishes he brought in his lunch box several times.

Severus breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he agreed. He was afraid that Zhang Mingyuan would refuse, because when the Chinese opened a shop, some greedy English people would squeeze them even harder. The gangsters also liked to rob people on Juelu Street to make a living. A prosperous life.

Zhang Mingyuan didn't say much, and directly took the rickshaw back to the vehicle management office to register and return it. After finishing his part-time job for the day, he led the people to a nearby cafe.

The two talked for a long time, and finally Severus offered two thousand pounds, accounting for 40% of the shares, Zhang Mingyuan contributed technology and manpower, accounting for 30%, and the remaining 30% was reserved for other purposes.

"Well, if what I give you is gold, can you exchange it for more pounds or something?" Severus couldn't help but clicked his tongue when he heard the exchange rate when he went down to Diagon Alley. It is now 12 pounds for one gold galleons. Well, it seems that gold still retains its value very well.

Zhang Mingyuan was stunned when he heard this question. After the economic crisis in England began, inflation and the devaluation of the pound led to a large amount of gold being dumped by the government to engage in foreign exchange exports and imports. Gold was considered a scarce commodity in the domestic market.

"Well, of course gold is better. I believe it will be sold quickly... It is much better than just pounds... How much gold do you have?" He replied thoughtfully. He planned to buy a house to use as a restaurant, and maybe rent a house. The Lord prefers gold.

"The situation is a bit complicated. I need to go back and take a look." Severus' gold galleons represent the currency numbers engraved by the goblins who minted the coins of Gringotts. If they were taken to the Muggle world for smelting, I wonder what the goblins would do. No more batches will be made.

Zhang Mingyuan nodded to express his understanding. Who hasn't got a little secret yet?

The next day, Severus carried a shoulder bag containing more than two hundred gold galleons and waited for Zhang Mingyuan to go through the formalities with him in front of Juelu Street.

But I never expected that the first person to arrive would be another place.

Severus looked at the big words 'Xia Liwen Law Firm' in front of him, and then looked at the reddish 'lychee meat' that he was talking about incessantly. It has such a crisp and tender texture, good sour flavor, sweet and sour taste, it is definitely suitable for England. The human Zhang Mingyuan fell into a brief silence.

Why not just buy individual stocks? As for coming to a law firm?

The result told him that it was very necessary, and it had to be notarized to ensure that his benefits as an Englishman would not be deducted by foreigners.

Although the process is a bit cumbersome, the results are good.

"Oh, thank you so much, Brother Li, otherwise I would be really worried to death!" Zhang Mingyuan could no longer hide his happiness, excitedly holding the hand of the man who sent them out and thanking him, and completed the filling in the materials within an hour. , no one else has this speed.

Now they only need to register with the government and purchase a store with a catering license. Then the restaurant can be opened. He has already identified the source of supplies.

The middle-aged man whom he called Brother Li smiled and waved nonchalantly, "We are all fellow villagers. We should help each other. If your father hadn't told me that I was recruiting for this job, maybe I would still be at the dock. Help..." He glanced at Severus and then changed to Chinese.

Old Li's name is Li Ming. What he said was not just as simple as telling the recruitment. Zhang Mingyuan's father also helped his daughter get the antipyretic paracetamol tablets. Otherwise, the result would really be... Fortunately, he now has England's BRP card. , he can also enjoy some benefits.

"Okay, let's go to the government building as soon as possible. If it's late, the staff will go to rest..." Li Ming looked at the watch on his left hand that was missing the second hand, and walked quickly with the documents under his arm. He still needed to submit other information. .

Severus and Zhang Mingyuan looked at each other, followed behind him, and then went through the interview, review, and signing, and these matters came to an end.

They agreed on a time and place for their next meeting, and the new boss had to go on a field trip together, so they separated.

Severus walked slowly along the Thames River, looking at the rejuvenated bushes, lamenting the convenience of wizard brand artificial rainfall, and lamenting the people who were running around in the drought.

White pigeons flew over the high wall and cooed, attracting hungry wild cats.

Severus met Petunia who was fetching water at a corner of the river, but she was currently arguing with a tall and thin young man. When she wanted to leave, the young man hugged her with his hands, but he was quickly dodged. .

Severus ran a few steps quickly to catch up, but he remembered something and hid behind a tree close to them with his wand. If there was anything wrong, he fainted to find out.

Penny's eyes were red with anger, so she picked up the wooden stick carrying water and hit it.

The tall and lanky young man was caught off guard and was beaten several times. Seeing that he could not take advantage, he cursed and walked away.

Severus looked at Petunia who was so angry that she had difficulty breathing. He pointed his wand at the young man who was leaving and cast the Pimple Curse, Throat Lock and Stinging Curse to let him enjoy it for a few days!

The tall and thin young man only felt a slight burning sensation on his face. He thought it was pain from being beaten, so he didn't pay attention to it. He covered it with his hands and left.

Although Severus didn't know what happened specifically, based on his knowledge of Petunia, the tall and lanky young man was definitely not a good person!

He followed Penny and watched her arrive home safely before turning and leaving. The tall, lanky young man who left didn't want to have an easy time.

What he didn't know was that after he left, Penny turned her head and looked over there for a long time with a complicated expression.
