The Necromancer of Hogwarts

From April to May 1982, a series of exciting news broke out in the British steel industry.

First, the British Steel Alliance, headed by Larmore Steel Works and uniting nearly ten large and medium-sized steel plants, announced its establishment.

There is no doubt that this is going to be a head-on battle with British Steel. The outcome of this commercial war will determine the direction of the entire British steel industry.

Their victors would gain significant market share, reverse Britain's steel winter, and perhaps even revive the British steel industry's standing in the world.

At first, no one was optimistic about the British Steel Alliance, because the steel mills in the alliance were in extremely poor operating conditions, and British Steel had already occupied most of the market share.

However, with the establishment of the British Steel Union, came a series of shocking depth bombs, which stirred up the British steel industry.

The British Steel Alliance has launched a series of new steel products from civilian to military uses in one go.

These steels generally exceed the performance of current mainstream steels by 20% to 30% in terms of toughness, strength, stiffness, density, formability and other aspects, catching British Steel by surprise.

Although British Steel immediately demonstrated a new generation of steel under development, some of which have properties even better than those of the Steel Alliance, one is that it is not yet mass-produced in the laboratory, and can only be used in a few areas, and the other is variety Complete and already available, any fool knows how to choose.

After the release of the new steel products, orders flew to the British Steel Alliance like snowflakes, which shocked these steel mills.

With the order, there is blood for the steel mill, and it can finally run smoothly again.

The British Steel Alliance reversed the decline in one fell swoop, stopped the decline in market share, and began to cut flesh on British Steel.

The entire British steel industry has entered a situation of polar opposition. Fierce competition is unfolding in the steel industry, which has given the steel industry new vitality.

The orders Zuo Wei received were also expanded repeatedly. The factory was operating at full capacity, producing coagulant day and night and sending it to the Iron and Steel Alliance, in exchange for a lot of money.

……

On the other side, Xiang Yu and Zuo Wei were struggling with something.

"There are more and more orders for coagulants. Should we still purchase raw materials as in the past, or should we build our own raw material factory to supply the factory?"

Xiang Yu frowned: "The pollution from the charcoal plant is too great. I'm afraid the government and local residents will be very unhappy and encounter a lot of resistance."

"Building a charcoal farm is not worth the gain. It reduces a little cost, but it damages our basic image."

Zuo Wei nodded: "What about ranches, slaughterhouses and food processing plants? Do we need to build these two factories?"

"If they want to be matched with our factory, the scale of these two factories must not be too small."

Before Xiang Yu could say anything this time, Tageo, who had been in the mark of the Necromancy School, had already spoken.

Tageo's voice came in Xiang Yu's mind: "I suggest you build one. It will be good for your path as a necromancer."

"You have been learning the basic knowledge of the Necromancer during this time. I admit that you are an excellent student, but to go further on the path of the Necromancer, these basic knowledge alone are not enough."

"You need a place where there is reincarnation and you can feel the power of life and death."

"Pasture breeds life, and slaughterhouses create death. Spending more time in these two places will be of great benefit to your path as a necromancer."

"Maybe it won't take long before you can break through the shackles you have now and reach a higher level."

Tageo said so, and Xiang Yu also made a decision.

"Build, build all these factories."

"It just so happens that these factories can provide jobs that our machinery factories cannot provide."

"Food processing factories follow the path of small profits but quick turnover, mainly selling to South America and Southeast Asia. This is also a way to generate income."

"However, we can't pay for all the land and factory construction costs. We can pay part of it, and then go to the local government to apply for a low-interest loan and some preferential policies. This is also a good thing for officials to increase their political achievements. They can't do nothing. Let’s do it?”

After the matter was finalized, Zuo Wei quickly took the team to meet with local government officials.

Local officials are worried about the unemployment rate and are eager for companies to invest in building factories.

Now that the British economy is in decline and the unemployment rate is rising, most people are living in a hurry and are afraid of layoffs every day.

A little aside here.

By this time Harry Potter should have been given to the Dursleys for adoption by Dumbledore.

But maybe Dumbledore had no worries about food and clothing in the wizarding world, never worried about life, and never raised children, so he may have forgotten one very important thing-the cost of raising children can make people breathless. Come.

In this economic downturn, the Dursleys have just had a child, and now they have to raise Harry Potter, and they can't even get a penny in child support...

I'm afraid it took them a lot of effort to raise Harry Potter. Just changing diapers, feeding, and making complementary foods are already a huge hassle. If he gets sick, the money spent will make people look sad. green.

So from a fair point of view, the Dursleys are not very good to Harry, but their efforts are definitely more than many people imagine.

Blaming the Dursleys blindly is probably going too far.

If you have raised children yourself or have seen others raising children, you probably know how much of a burden a child is. After giving birth to a child, a man has no chance to waste his life. This is no joke.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, did things very poorly, and I am afraid he must bear a large part of the responsibility for Harry Potter's childhood experiences.

Well, let's get down to business.

When Zuo Wei arrived and expressed her intention to open three such large-scale factories, the local government was overjoyed.

The establishment of a factory means that there are a large number of jobs, which means that local people can have a stable job.

For them, this is a powerful political achievement.

Therefore, Zuo Wei's requirements were basically met.

The local government sold Zuo Wei a piece of land at an extremely low price, enough to build a large ranch.

Preferential policies such as tax exemptions have also been passed.

Although there was some wrangling over low-interest loans, the government finally took the lead in borrowing a sum of money from banks to support the construction of ranches, slaughterhouses, and food processing plants.

Xiang Yu waited patiently.

He has a special room in the coagulant processing plant, which is extremely safe. Only he and Zoe Wei can open the door.

Xiang Yu usually sits in his room meditating, learning the basic knowledge of the Necromancy School, and silently completing the missing parts.

There is no need to worry about life, no need to worry about the pursuit of the magic world, just like a sponge to constantly absorb knowledge, this monotonous life is particularly satisfying for Xiang Yu.

Although it seems that there is still a long way to reach level 6, since there is no pursuit, there is no need to be so anxious and just rest assured and enrich yourself.

Finally, at the end of 1982, the ranch construction was completed.

The introduced cattle, sheep and other animals made the pasture lively, and there were sounds of bleating and mooing all day long.

A specially hired management team kept the ranch in order. At the same time, the ranch also provided a large number of temporary jobs to local residents during the construction process, and also helped many people ease their economic conditions.

After the construction of the ranch was completed, a group of residents who were serious and responsible during their work received invitations to become regular employees of the ranch and receive training. The salary and benefits are already quite good in the local area.

The subsequent construction of slaughterhouses and food processing plants also recruited a large number of unemployed people, allowing them to return to work after being trained.

Zuo Wei's roots in the local area are already unshakable, as someone from every two households may work in the Zuo Wei family's factory to support their families.

Zuo Wei's series of actions also made her appear in the newspapers frequently, becoming a local celebrity and having close ties with the local government and bank executives.

By this time, the basic plan envisioned by Xiang Yu had been completed.

"Business matters are already developing steadily and there is no need for me to interfere."

"By this time, I can devote all my attention to learning magic."
