Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

Looking into Lucius' eyes, Mr. Zachley Ward knew that the other party's inquiry this time must be serious.

But this is far from enough. There is a high probability that the other party will get carried away and put all his wealth on the line, but this is still far from enough to satisfy that gentleman's appetite.

The gentleman wanted to use this guy in front of him to pack up all the gold Galleons in the hands of all the pure-blood wizard families in the British wizarding world and take them away at once.

Therefore, you need to provoke the other party and put forward a condition that the other party can neither give up nor accept.

From a logical point of view, this condition is absolutely impossible to achieve, but fortunately this is not a novel, and reality is never logical.

He decided to operate on himself.

Mr. Zachary Ward ran to the side with excitement on his face, took out a plan from the safe nearby, and spread it out in front of Lucius.

Pointing to the articles above, he explained them sentence by sentence.

"No problem sir, 200 million of your currency, roughly equivalent to 2000 million pounds, as long as you hand over that money to me."

"I can start the operation immediately. HSBC has obtained the quotation sheet for this stock transaction and independently undertakes all financial services."

"I can take advantage of the time difference and buy as many shares as possible. If you are willing to invest later, you only need to take out 2 million pounds."

"You can get 1% of the equity, and I can invite you to join our fund board and use the entire fund to purchase 10% of the overall equity."

"So we......"

"Wait a minute?" Lucius interrupted the other party and said in a bad tone.

"By becoming the director of your foundation, you mean you want me to share power with nine other Muggles."

"I didn't ask you that question. I was talking about 10% of the equity, how much money it would cost, and what you want to do with it."

Mr. Zachary Ward, who was interrupted, immediately pretended to be embarrassed and spoke awkwardly.

"Two billion pounds in cash is equivalent to more than three billion U.S. dollars. This is a huge fortune."

"Such a large-scale investment is probably not something that even a noble like you can easily accept."

"What's more, time is limited, so I thought of a more stable way, which can make the funds play a better role and reduce the risk."

Hearing this, Lucius immediately showed an embarrassment on his face. The solution proposed by the other party could not be said to be bad.

From a professional perspective, this approach is indeed more secure and more suitable for his current situation.

You have to know that the 200 million gold galleons he has now were collected by him through various means.

In order to prevent his plan from going wrong, Carl made a very tough request to all pure-blood wizard families.

All money earned from the First Savings Bank of the Wizarding World must be temporarily stored in the bank's vault.

The ownership of the money is still in their hands. They can use it on a small scale at any time, but they cannot take it away all at once.

Although the other party did not say no, he also made some harsh remarks.

"I swear with my real name that I will never embezzle a single gold coin from you. The ownership of this money will always belong to you."

"But I also swear by my real name that anyone who dares to disrupt my plan will be my enemy."

"I will destroy him to the death."

Recalling the young man's firm voice, Lucius felt his whole body trembling, not knowing whether he was angry or afraid.

The most he could raise now was about 1800 million gold galleons, which, combined with the current 200 million, could be exchanged for 2 million pounds.

If there were more, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with it, and he wasn't so sure that other pure-blood families would be willing to lend him their savings.

The more he thought about it, the more headache he got, and he couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Mr. Zachary Ward pretended to be concerned and brought the other party another glass of mulled wine.

asked thoughtfully.

"What's bothering you, sir? Tell me what's bothering you, though I'm not qualified to give you advice."

“But sometimes, people who are in the middle of the situation often fail to see the true nature of things, and they sometimes give unintentional reminders.”

“It can often open the door to wisdom.”

After hearing this and taking another look at the mulled wine beside him, Lucius had no intention of remaining silent.

He started telling the other person about his troubles. Of course, during the whole process, he still made some modifications to terms such as the magical world and gold Galleons.

This ensures that the conversation is leak-proof.

"So that's how it is." After listening to the other party's story, Mr. Zachary Ward nodded slightly with a smug smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, I didn't expect that I could hit the nail on the head with this question. It's true that those involved are often confused."

"Your partners will not allow you to put so much liquidity into the market of your world."

"But there is no problem with our world. Aren't the two worlds parallel and unrelated? All we need to do is convert this money into our currency."

"It circulates in our market, and it does not interfere with things in your world."

As he spoke, Mr. Zachary Ward suddenly revealed a cunning smile and spoke in a low voice.

"And if I remember correctly, that gentleman's future plans may require the use of a large amount of your world's currency."

"If you transfer the money away in advance, he will be helpless when the time comes and may even come to you for help."

"My dear sir, I have a way to temporarily use the currency you brought with you as collateral in the form of precious metals."

"It will be stored in a special warehouse of our bank. You will then sign a special mortgage agreement with our bank for two months."

"As a manager, I can operate secretly and reduce the interest rate to 0%. All you need is to pay back the same amount of pounds on time after two months."

"You can get the money back, and by that time, I'm afraid the stock will have gone crazy."

Hearing these words, Lucius's frown instantly relaxed, and his eyes, which had been a little angry, became bright.

As a smart man, he quickly understood what the other party meant if he did as he was told.

Not only can he obtain huge profits, but he can also make things difficult for Mr. Hohenzollern in the future.

And as he thought more deeply, he suddenly felt that this plan would be more conducive to his convincing other pure-blood nobles.

Because he knew that these guys didn't have the courage to invest their family fortune in venture capital.

But if they were asked to pay to embarrass Karl Hohenzollern, they would be not only brave but also very bold.

After all, these pure-blood families may have all kinds of personalities, but they are all very united in hating Karl Hohenzollern.

It's that guy's fault for never treating them as human beings.
