Entrepreneurship and Wealth in the Order of the Phoenix

After the war, a partial industrial revolution in which magic and technology merged swept the world. The reason why it is said to be partial is because the only obstacle restricting it is that magic cannot be done by machines-every magic circle needs a magic wand, and every magic circle needs a magic wand. All kinds of magic require a wizard.The manpower of wizards is limited, and they can only be allocated to the high-end market with the most amazing benefits.

An enterprise led by a certain profiteer has gained huge benefits because it took the first opportunity.When other wizards realized that they could start a business, it was too late. The Order of the Phoenix Group had already applied for thousands of patents, and was tied up with industrial giants such as Stark Industries, Apple, Siemens, and GSK, and the chain of interests permeated the world. market.

As for who the profiteer is...

Do you think it's Harry?

No, it's our President Tonks who is pregnant and still doing business.She was about to give birth this month, so she went home.Harry offered to be the child's godfather, Claire was very moved and rejected him.

Harry, who had to start working hard, sat at the negotiating table and finished the contract with Intel.

"The computer assembled with the cpu of the w series does not need a fan or a cooling system. There is no problem in working at full frequency, and our magic array will always keep its temperature in the optimal working range."

"How much can you produce per day?"

"According to our manpower, I'm afraid it won't satisfy you. In other words, it will be very, very expensive, far below the price near the balance point of supply and demand."

The person in charge of Intel had a disappointed look on his face.

"But there's something you're more interested in, I just finished talking with Google—"

"what?"

"Large server..." Harry hadn't finished speaking when an owl rushed in through the window paper and bumped into the negotiator sitting by the window.

"Oh, sorry," Harry said unapologetically.

He went to lift the man up, grabbed the owl, and took an envelope from its lap.On the obverse was Gringotts' seal, and he turned it over to the reverse, and on it was written:

Mr. Ravenclaw

He suddenly remembered that today was his birthday, and this must be the debt bill urging him to pay back the money.By the way, this is his name in his previous life, does it mean that he doesn't have to pay back the money in this life?

Harry saw off the hapless Intel negotiator and happily opened the letter.Inside was indeed a bill. On the front was the details of every debt owed by the Ravenclaw family, and on the back were the terms and conditions of the contract.At the bottom is the name of the contractor - Rodel Garcia Ravenclaw

Then there are parentheses below.Note: Harry James Potter.

oh.Sure enough, I still have to pay back.

indifferent.

But Gringotts or something... it's cold, let it reorganize.

……

Harry remembered the indescribable emotion he felt when he saw Gringotts for the first time.

No, it's not because of its towering buildings, nor the appearance of goblins, nor the passages that go deep into the ground, the dragons, and the waterfall that can wash away all magic, but——

Damn you guys are still on the gold standard? ?

What the hell is the exchange rate of your Galleons, Sickles, and Nats? ?

Fuck, you told me that the money deposited in Gringotts in the UK cannot be withdrawn in Gringotts in France?Why are you running a bank? It's just a big confidential warehouse, okay?There is no loan business, no interest rate spread on lending, and only a small amount of deposit and withdrawal fees to support themselves. Who said that the goblins at Gringotts are not kind, this is simply touching and tear-jerking!

Is there really no problem with this economic and financial structure? !

Especially after recovering his memory, Harry remembered that Gringotts was like this 1000 years ago.There have been several Muggle financial revolutions, and thousands of years haven't brought about any changes in the wizard's economic system.

Harry kowtowed to Gringotts.

After the war, the monetary system of the wizarding world underwent drastic subversion. The Muggle world paid more favorably than the wizarding world. Coupled with the strong curiosity of the wizards towards the Muggle world, most of the labor force was transferred to the joint wizard and Muggle factory. , Galleons were converted into British pounds in large quantities, and gold flowed into the Muggle world. However, due to the small amount, it did not cause any economic turmoil in the general environment.

The goblins of Gringotts found that there were less and less Galleons in the vault, and gradually disappeared. A year later, the last Galleon in Gringotts was also taken out and exchanged for British pounds-the wizard's currency system completely collapsed .Diagon Alley uses British Pounds for transactions, and some shops also accept Euros. The wizarding world has completely become a place for wizards to study and live. Their economy and politics have fully integrated into the Muggle world, like a drop of water into a vast ocean. the sea.

Wizards are no different from mutants these days.

If Harry poured 1000 million Galleons into Gringotts, presumably it would last a while longer - the deed said Galleons, then he would have to give the goblins £5000 million and they would mint again.Seeing that galleons are about to become a thing of the past, the exchange rate against the British pound has been falling, and no one exchanges British pounds for Galleons.Harry didn't want to see a thousand Galleons sitting in Gringotts, unable to use them or make investments, guarded by goblins who love money like their lives, making good money like scrap copper and rotten iron.

"Oh, sir, you're here." The old goblin Griphook of Gringotts led him to sit on the sofa. Occasionally a faint dragon roar can be heard.

Griphook stared at him with small, merchant-like eyes. "Where is the thousand gold Galleons?"

"Garons are extinct now, but I don't." Harry spread his hands.

"It doesn't matter, you can bring gold of the same value, or pounds - we'll exchange it for gold and mint galleons at the end," said Griphook.

"And then? Waiting for them to rot in the warehouse?" Harry continued without waiting for Griphook to answer, "Listen, Galleons stop casting, Gringotts closing is the general trend of the times—"

"Gold Galleon! We have forged something for 1000 years! What is the trend of the times, your debt must be paid!" Griphook roared sharply. "We will continue to cast Garen—"

"I didn't say no." Harry explained patiently. "What I mean is that Gringotts has reached the point where it has to be reformed. If you are willing to be reorganized under the Order of the Phoenix, adopt a new financial system, and integrate into the Muggle world, I will inject more funds of 5000 million into Gringotts , this will also solve your goblin unemployment problem. Anyway, the contract says I owe Gringotts, not an individual."

"No!" Griphook, the current Gringotts manager, still objected. "This is our habit that has lasted for thousands of years, how can it be changed because of you people with magic wands!"

"It's good for you, the wages can be increased more than ten times—"

Harry was interrupted again by Griphook. "No way! Just no way! Give me a thousand gold Galleons immediately!"

Harry drew his wand from his sleeve.It was a new wand that Ollivander had made for him. He forcibly plucked a hair from Fox's tail, which made him howl and hide in Dumbledore's arms for a long time before he dared to poke his head out.

"I think—" He paused meaningfully, playing with the long, slender piece of black wood delicately. "I'm really very good-tempered."

Griphook felt chills when he heard that.

"What do you think? Griphook?" Harry shook the wand slightly, and a tree behind him dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye. "What about my reform plan?"

Griphook nodded tremblingly. "I... I feel fine."

"Fine." Harry gave a chilling smile. "Don't look at me like a Dark Lord, I'm a White Wizard."

Griph: "..."

In this way, Gringotts Bank was formally merged into the Order of the Phoenix Group, and Harry's money was invested in, and the debt was completed, which was actually invested in his own hands.A few years later, due to the high privacy and high security that magic can bring, coupled with the unclear relationship between the Order of the Phoenix and certain business giants, it became a private bank, serving the local tyrants.

Many local tyrants made a special trip to the headquarters just to see the goblin and the legendary dragon deep underground.

Griphook was rich now, but he didn't thank Harry Potter, because there were always rich Muggles trying to pat him on the head.
