Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 672 The troubles of the Anderson family

  While the British wizarding world was making noise about Sirius Black's escape from prison, the British Muggle world was also boiling over one thing.

  A lawyer named Herb Anderson actually won the lottery prize.

  Countless people are envious and jealous because of this.

   However, the Andersons are worrying about winning the jackpot.

   Winning the jackpot is naturally a good thing.

   But this may not be a good thing for Herb.

   The number was given to him by his son Albert, who said before going to France:

   In a few years, the UK will no longer be safe, so their family will need to leave the UK for a period of time, and the lottery winnings will be their moving expenses.

  No one in the family was excited about it.

   After winning the jackpot, a bunch of questions followed.

  Daisy found that her relatives, whom she didn't usually contact very much, actually started to contact her on the initiative, and there were not a few people who came to visit her.

   Fortunately, her brother Charlie's business is also booming, otherwise I don't know what will happen.

   In fact, even Charlie came to them to discuss the use of money, which he believed should be invested more effectively.

  The Andersons rejected Charlie on the grounds that they needed to discuss with Albert before investing.

  Charlie was a little regretful, but he couldn't refute it, because his success was related to Albert's suggestion, and he didn't dare to say anything bad.

   Before leaving, ask Daisy to bring him to make money together.

Herb was looking at the latest information, also frowning, and said to his wife: "I just asked someone to investigate the overseas colony mentioned by Albert. That land will be released on July 1, 1997. The day will be returned to the other party, which was agreed between Mrs Thatcher and the other party in September 1982."

   "Are we really going to leave England?" Daisy looked at her husband in disbelief.

To be honest, living in a strange place made her feel uneasy, and she didn't want to give up her life as a lawyer. If she gave up her current life because of this windfall, God knows what the future will be like. Done properly, the results certainly can't be too good.

"No, I think Albert's opinion should be respected." Herb sighed lightly and reminded, "Do you think we really have other options? With Albert's character, in a situation where danger has been predicted Now, he will never allow us to stay in the UK, and will use magic to 'convince' us in the end, and then send us away."

  Daisy was silent.

   The couple still understand their son's personality quite well, and geniuses are always particularly stubborn in certain things they identify. Coupled with Albert's ability, this kind of thing is entirely possible.

   "Perhaps, we should tell him the good news." Herb was the first to break the silence. He went back to the dormitory to get the double-sided mirror that Albert left for them to contact, and began to call Albert's name in front of the mirror.

   After a long time, a figure was reflected in the double-sided mirror, and Albert's face appeared in front of them.

   "Win the lottery?" Albert asked.

"how do you know?"

   Daisy was stunned as soon as she said it. How could Albert know? He probably guessed it. After all, their son is so smart, and he predicted that he would win the big prize.

"How much?"

   "You don't know?" Nia asked in surprise.

   "How much?" Albert asked.

   "10 million pounds." Herb said with a smile: "After deducting taxes, you can get a lot of money."

   "Probably still have about 6 million pounds!" Albert made a little calculation, and couldn't help complaining, "However, this tax is really heavy."

  Heb ignored his son's complaints and asked, "You got the money, what do you plan to do with it?"

   "Invest in the colonies." Albert said without hesitation, "After the colonies return, the place will start the final capital carnival, and house prices should drop by half."

   "Are you planning to buy a house?"

"Yes." Albert knew what Herb was thinking, and explained, "The colony itself relies on a large country with a population of 1 billion, and there is no caste problem in the subcontinent, which means that the population will become the basis for the country to take off. It is also destined to take off."

   "The capital and the largest coastal cities are good investment targets. You can recruit a group of people and set up a company to invest in it."

   Herb opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

  Can it take off?

  If it is true what Albert said, now is indeed a good opportunity to make money.

"I heard that the judges over there seem to be tenured. You can go there in advance and get a judge position for yourself. Now you can prepare first, find out the situation there, learn the language there, and wait for the opportunity to make money. After Albert finished speaking, he thought for a while and added, "By the way, remember to leave some money for me."

  Albert babbled on a lot of things again, and Herb finally took a pen to record his instructions slowly. As a lawyer, Herb certainly has his own subjective opinion, but now, he feels that he should refer to his son's opinion first.

  He has to admit that being able to prophesy is amazing!

   "You can ask Charlie." Daisy still pulled her cheap relatives to help them. As for whether they are willing to participate, it is not something she should care about.

   "Reduce the work of the law firm. Let's collect information to prepare first. We will go there to investigate when we are free another day. It is best to get in touch with there."

Herb has recovered from the shock of winning the grand prize, and he has clearly made a series of judgments. He also knows that Albert's words don't hurt his back. If he really wants to implement it and make a profit from it, someone needs to run around for it. toil.

   "It would be nice if we could get a judge for life."

  As long as you have money, everything is possible. This is the world of capital. What's more, he is also a lawyer and is very familiar with that.

   "What should I do?" Nia became even more depressed.

   "Come with us there." Herb said without hesitation, "When you leave the UK, your studies here will be almost done. As for the university, you can go there by then, and you need to learn management knowledge."

   "Albert is so annoying!"

  Nia doesn't like an arranged life, although she also understands the importance of money.

   Hum!

   At that time, Albert's wallet will be pinched by her hand.

  …

   "Who were you talking to?"

   Isobel, who had just taken a shower, was wearing a nightgown and stood outside the door holding two cups of hot cocoa, and handed one of them to Albert.

   "My family, they told me I won the lottery."

   "Win the lottery?"

   "Muggle lottery jackpot." Albert said with a smile: "Probably get 6 million pounds."

   "6 million pounds?" Isobel carefully recalled the exchange rate between Muggle pounds and Galleons: "If all of them are converted into Galleons, it would be about 1.2 million Galleons."

   As she spoke, the girl's mouth couldn't help opening.

   "Money fan." Albert smiled and tapped Isobel's forehead, reminding, "It's hard to convert this money into Galleons."

   "I suddenly felt that the "Daily Prophet"'s Galleon Award was a joke." Isobel sighed.

"It's normal. There are more Muggles than wizards. The wealth created is naturally not comparable to that of wizards. The meaning of wealth is not just a pile of gold coins." Albert looked at Isobel who was still in a daze, and stretched out his arms The other party explained with a smile.

   "What do you want so much money for?" Isobel reminded, "If the Ministry of Magic knows about you...you stole such a large amount of money from the Muggle world."

"Stealing, no, that's not stealing. It's normal for Muggles to win the lottery in the Muggle world." Albert reminded with a smile, "The Ministry of Magic can't trouble me because the money doesn't belong to me, at least I don't." Will interfere, leave no evidence, and most wizards don't understand Muggle things at all, they don't even know that there is such a thing."

   "Innocent until found out?"

  Isobel remembered Albert's fallacy.

   "He's an unconscionable capitalist now." Albert pouted and said, "Besides, my method is completely legal, so you can't slander me."

  Isobel couldn't help but rolled her eyes, not wanting to continue this topic, and then, she felt that she was being hugged.

   “We should celebrate winning the jackpot.”

   "Don't do this." Isobel said shyly, "You will disturb others like this, and I am already very tired today."

   "This room is actually enchanted. It can isolate the sound and won't disturb the rest of the LeMay couple." Albert closed the door with a smile and lowered the curtains.
