Hogwarts: I am the White Lord
Chapter 85: Confrontation between family heirs
The two walked all the way to Sebastian's office.
Looking at Malfoy, who was sitting on the sofa in a depressed mood, Sebastian asked gently: "Draco, what would you like to drink?"
"Would you like a glass of delicious pumpkin juice?"
"If you're really in a bad mood, I can make an exception and let you have a glass of butterbeer. Of course, it's the non-alcoholic kind."
Hearing Sebastian's words, Malfoy didn't look up, but replied in a hoarse voice: "No, professor, I'm not thirsty now."
Sebastian raised an eyebrow.
It seems that this blow is greater than I expected.
Is this a shattered outlook on life?
This is not possible!
Sebastian didn't want to see Malfoy become so depressed.
Heart disease also needs a heart medicine doctor.
According to Sebastian's understanding, the Malfoy family has always cared about their own family the most.
Therefore, if you want to help this little guy open up his heart, you have to start with the family he cares about most.
Sebastian adjusted his sitting position and used his best chicken soup method.
"Before we start today's conversation, I want you to do a multiple-choice question."
"You want me to treat you like a child and have a conversation between a professor and a student?"
"Or should we, as heirs of pure-blood families, have a conversation between adults?"
Sebastian's voice became more serious.
"Draco, look me in the eye and tell me your choice."
Malfoy's heart moved when he heard what Sebastian said.
"I choose the second one!"
"In this case, I will no longer be a professor. You will see a profit-seeking businessman and my ugliest side. Our conversation will be very realistic and cold. Are you sure you want to choose this?"
Hearing such serious words, Malfoy hesitated slightly.
However, he does not like preaching, and can even be said to hate preaching, even if the other party is a professor.
Moreover, he has always regarded himself as the heir of the Malfoy family, and he is proud of this identity.
Therefore, he wanted to have an equal dialogue with Sebastian as the heir of a pure-blood family.
He wanted to prove himself to Sebastian, to prove that he was a qualified heir to the Malfoy family.
Thinking of this, Malfoy straightened up and looked straight at Sebastian with his still red eyes.
"I choose to be the heir to the Malfoy family, I'm sure!"
"In that case, Mr. Malfoy," Sebastian began gently, "let's assume for a moment."
"If your father now hands over all the Malfoy family's assets to you, how will you develop them? Do you have a plan in mind?"
"this......"
Malfoy was a little speechless. He had never paid attention to the specific business of his family, so he was unable to answer Sebastian's question.
However, he didn't want to show his weakness, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Just let the family business continue to operate as it is now. I believe my father will teach me."
Sebastian smiled softly at the childish response.
"Oh, just maintaining the status quo? I thought you would have greater ambitions and would want to take the Malfoy industry to a higher level with your own strength."
Malfoy felt a little annoyed when he heard the teasing words, but before he could say anything, he heard Sebastian continue.
"Let me ask you, when you take over the family business, what kind of employees will you hire?"
"Pure-blood employees, half-blood employees, or Muggle-born employees?"
"Of course it's the pure-blood employees!" Malfoy answered confidently.
Sebastian smiled and said, "We are all pure blood. Why should we work for your Malfoy family? Wouldn't it be better to just inherit the family business?"
"Let's take a step back and say that I am a poor pure-blood wizard. There are many industries in the wizarding world. What can your Malfoy family do to attract me to work there?"
Hearing this, Malfoy's confidence weakened a little.
"Then... I will recruit half-blood employees. If that doesn't work, I can recruit Muggle wizards."
"Mr. Malfoy, your answer makes me laugh." Sebastian chuckled, "Don't you always look down on them?"
"Do you want to think about your attitude towards half-blood wizards and Muggle wizards?"
"From what I've observed, you always look superior and have a very contemptuous attitude towards them."
"To put it bluntly, half-blood wizards are just maggots in your eyes, and Muggle wizards are even worse than bugs, just mudbloods, right?"
Malfoy opened his mouth, wanting to refute what Sebastian said, but these were indeed his true thoughts.
But, so what?
So what if the Malfoy family is high and mighty!
As long as you raise the salary a little, there will be a steady stream of employees working for you.
He can say this to his employees with complete confidence.
If you don’t do it, others will!
As if he could see through Malfoy's thoughts, Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Do you think there will always be employees working for you?"
"Twenty years ago, your idea was not a big problem. At that time, basically more than 90% of the industry was under the control of pure-blood families."
"Everyone offers the same conditions and everyone has the same attitude. Muggle wizards have basically no choice."
"But," Sebastian changed the subject, "Have you ever thought that everything is different after Swann Alchemy started to reform."
"On one side is Swann Alchemy, who is friendly to all wizards, and on the other side is Malfoy, who is high and mighty. If it were you, what would you choose?"
"What if one day, Muggle wizards and half-blood wizards unite to resist the Malfoy family, and Swann Alchemy abandons you as a partner? What will you do?"
Hearing this, Malfoy was a little flustered. He remembered what his father said, that the reason why the Malfoy family lived a prosperous life was inseparable from Swann's alchemy.
If Swann Alchemy abandoned the Malfoy family, the family's business would definitely suffer a devastating blow.
"This is impossible, right?" Malfoy's voice trembled a little. "Swan Alchemy and the Malfoy family are very good partners."
"Really?" Looking at Malfoy's panic, Sebastian gave a meaningful smile.
"Mr. Malfoy, do you want to hear the reality? The cruelest reality in the adult world."
“All cooperation is based on interests.”
"If the Malfoy family's reputation is too bad and affects the development of Swann Alchemy, then Swann Alchemy will definitely consider changing its partners."
"By that time, how many people do you think will attack your Malfoy family?"
Hearing this, Malfoy was completely deflated. He had no idea why Sebastian told him this.
Could it be that Swann Alchemy is ready to abandon the Malfoy family?
Seeing Malfoy looking anxious, Sebastian leaned back in his chair and spoke leisurely.
"Mr. Malfoy, you are really not as good as your father. When he was your age, he had already started thinking about developing the Malfoy family."
"If you continue to be such a dandy, I can guarantee that the Malfoy family will decline."
"Tell me, what do you want to do? What should you do? What will you do?"
