Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

"Don't be too arrogant, Mr. Hohenzollern. You should know that in addition to these 23 scores, there is another necessary prerequisite for solving the problem."

"If that premise is not met, even if you can speak eloquently and force yourself to get a lot of points, it's useless."

"That is nothing but a castle in the air, just like a mathematical formula multiplied by a zero at the end."

“All numbers are reset to zero.”

This is Professor Snape's confidence. He certainly knows very well what kind of person this little bastard is.

When communicating with this little bastard, you should always stick to one principle: if the other party actively asks for something, it is 100% certain that he is trying to set a trap for you.

This little bastard would never do anything that he was not sure of. How could the golden devil of the British wizarding world take the initiative to do a business that would make him lose money?

So the reason why he dared to agree to the other party was certainly not because he was stupid and wanted to jump into the pit, but because, at least from the current situation.

Only this little bastard in front of me can bear this huge pot.

Only he can carry it, no one else is qualified and no one is willing to do it.

Therefore, he was not afraid of the other party's calculations. Instead, he wanted to see what kind of struggle the other party could make.

So with both sides confident, this impromptu debate was able to continue.

Carl continued.

"Regarding the third point, I don't actually have much to defend, at least from my personal perspective."

"The root cause of the entire crisis also comes from the greed in people's hearts, and any form of excuses."

"They are just trying to shirk responsibility. Adults must be responsible for their own actions. Besides, those guys are making money."

“I didn’t see anyone take out even a single gold Galleon from their wallet to help others.”

"Are you going to give up even this?" Professor Snape was a little confused. He stared at the other party and spoke slowly.

"I know that you must have made full preparations for point 4. After all, if a trap is dug without bait and a hunting net, it will be very difficult to catch the prey."

"That would be a waste of effort, but what I want to say is, as we discussed before."

“The score represented by a point of view is often fixed if other factors are not resolved well.”

"This whole crisis is not going to end peacefully like that."

"Of course, we can discuss this later." Carl kept the other party in suspense, neither agreeing nor directly denying the other party's point of view.

Instead, he continued to speak.

"And I didn't say that I was going to give up point 3. The vast majority of ordinary wizards in the British wizarding world."

"I feel angry and a little overwhelmed at the moment. My views on them are very simple, just like those officials in the Ministry of Magic."

"They just lack direction, or a way out. If someone can bring them a stable job at this time."

"If they are offered a new income, even if the salary is not as good as their previous job, they should be able to accept it."

"You really open my eyes, Mr. Hohenzollern." Professor Snape sneered and shook his head.

"I didn't expect that you have already planned how to make a profit in this situation. I really have to admire your heart."

"You are such a devil. You just took away all the wealth that those bastards have accumulated over the years."

"We have already planned how to harvest the value they can create in their remaining lives."

"I once imagined you to be the next Voldemort. It seems that I was really blind."

"Compared to you, Voldemort is not even qualified to carry your shoes. He is not as bad as you."

"You're too kind, professor." Carl smiled proudly, accepting Professor Snape's praise.

Then he continued to speak.

"So according to my previous point, we can at least get +1 point for this. I think you have no objection."

"Of course!" Professor Snape nodded slightly.

Seeing that the other party had no objection, Karl did not intend to pause and continued to speak.

"Welcome to point 4? You have already taken precautions and given advance notice, but I would like to remind you of one thing."

"If it is just to make up for the shortfall of nearly 1 million Galleons, I would rather accept the 10 points you gave me."

"But is there a possibility that I can not only make up for the 1 million deficit, but also come up with nearly twice as much wealth?"

"Inject this huge amount of money back into the market to redeem the bonds held by those guys."

"I think there shouldn't be any problem with multiplying this fraction by two."

Professor Snape was stunned. He looked at the boy in front of him with a little disbelief.

"Do you know what you just said? You are going to take out nearly 3 million gold galleons."

"Even if you concentrated all the wealth of wizards in the global wizarding world in your hands alone, it would still be impossible to raise the amount."

"Or let me put it another way. This is the number of gold coins minted in the entire wizarding world since the invention of the Galleon."

“Even with the ones that have been recycled and destroyed, it may not reach the number you just mentioned. This is simply impossible to accomplish.”

"Of course it can't be accomplished by relying on the magic world alone." Carl chuckled, looking as if his evil plan had succeeded.

Said in an unfathomable tone.

"But if we convert those gold Galleons into settlement currencies such as US dollars or British pounds, and then convert them into gold for calculation."

"This figure will not exceed 100 billion US dollars. This amount of money is not comparable to the economic size of the entire Muggle world."

“It’s a drop in the bucket, as long as those people recognize it and the currency can buy what they want.”

"I think the wizards in the British wizarding world today should no longer have that inexplicable sense of superiority and should have learned how to bow to reality."

"Sure enough, this kid is waiting for me here." Upon hearing this, Professor Snape was shocked.

From the very beginning, he did guess that this particular economic crisis must have been planned by the kid in front of him.

The goal was to reap the wealth of the entire British wizarding world, but he had never expected that the other party's ambitions were so big.

His target was not Gringotts or the British Ministry of Magic, but something that all British wizards took for granted.

The glittering gold Galleons, or to put it in a Muggle world concept, what this kid wants is the coinage rights of the entire British wizarding world.

After understanding all this, Professor Snape couldn't help feeling a little surprised, but he still didn't panic at all and just nodded.

"I can agree with your point of view, but as I said before, in addition to these four points, there is another premise for solving the problem."

"And how do you plan to crack this premise?"

"It's very simple. The name of the person who will take the blame has been written down. It is definitely important enough. That person is the greatest white wizard of this century."

"Order of Merlin, First Class, Headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore."
