NOVEL WEB Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts
Chapter 222: With magic, you can do whatever you want
"Okay, dear shareholders, this merger and acquisition plan must be kept secret. Once it spreads..."
The shareholders' meeting of a leading listed company in the British industry ended. The capitalists all smiled and left the meeting room arm-in-arm.
After all, they are about to acquire another peer company. If the deal is completed, they will monopolize the entire British market, and the stock price will rise accordingly.
However, the company's chairman seemed a little worried after leading this transaction that would affect the company's future.
"What's the matter, Chairman?" A female secretary in fancy clothes and heavy makeup approached him intimately. After all, the old man in front of him who was over fifty years old would soon become one of the richest people in England.
Smelling the fragrant perfume, the old chairman was eager to move. He hugged the secretary obscenely and said, "It's okay. I was thinking about the amazing wealth we will get after this business is completed."
"Thanks to your leadership, Chairman - in just a few weeks, you can stand out from the already fiercely competitive market. This is more magical than magic. Chairman, you are so powerful!"
Hearing the secretary's disgusting compliment, the old chairman's heart sank.
Does magic really exist in this world? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain what has happened in the past few weeks.
In just a few weeks, the industry has changed beyond his imagination.
The first is their own company. Although they have now become the industry leader, in fact, a few weeks ago, they were in a crisis of almost bankruptcy due to frequent unexpected accidents.
"Why is this happening! Delay, delay, everything is delayed! If our materials are not in place, all the original product orders will be in default! They will choose products from other companies!"
The old chairman almost had a heart attack at that time. Although their company occupied almost 30% of the British market, the bigger the company, the tighter the capital chain.
And for some unknown reason, suddenly their raw material supply chain had problems. The trains and railways transporting raw materials encountered sudden landslides and were suspended, and the ships transported by sea were attacked by migrating whales and were forced to dock for repairs.
To make matters worse, a fire broke out in their company's original product warehouse because an employee smoked at night. Although the employee denied it, he was the only one on duty in the warehouse at the time, and the monitoring equipment could not see anyone else, causing the fire. The source has also been identified as a cigarette butt.
This is what happened when the house leaked and it rained all night.
Forced by desperation, the old chairman wanted to borrow materials from several other peer companies to tide over the difficulties.
But how could other companies miss this opportunity? Everyone is eyeing it and is ready to carve up his company's market share. News of this even leaked out, causing the company's stock price to drop significantly.
The old chairman's head turned pale with sorrow, and even the plump secretary was no longer in the mood to dote on him.
But just when he was desperate, the savior from the sky suddenly appeared.
"We are willing to help you, but as a condition, we need to obtain 5% of the shares of this company that you hold." The weirdo with a hunched back and bald head said to him in an indifferent tone: "Don't worry, I have already investigated Once passed, this 5% will not affect your absolute controlling interest."
In the past, the old chairman would have kicked him out as a lunatic. After all, even 5% of the shares was already an astonishing wealth.But in this situation where the company is about to go bankrupt, the shares in his hands are just waste paper.
So when he saw the entire warehouse looking like raw materials suddenly conjured up by magic, the old chairman immediately agreed to his request.
Although the old chairman's goal at the time was just to survive the difficulties, since he reached a deal with the mysterious man, his luck suddenly and inexplicably improved.
Scandals suddenly broke out one after another among his competitors, with product quality problems, the use of inferior materials, and even photos of the chairman of a rival group engaging in power and sex dealings leaked.
The situation suddenly reversed. The old chairman seized the opportunity and settled old and new grudges. Not only did he greatly increase his market share, he also became the leading monopoly in the industry.
But this is all too weird and too coincidental. The old chairman feels so sad, as if he is just a tool controlled by a mysterious person. Could it be that there is really someone behind this?
But are sporadic natural events such as landslides and whale migrations really something that humans can control?
If he could do this, he must be someone as powerful as a god... Why would he use such a complicated method to defraud a small share of his company?
The old chairman didn't dare to think too much. He put his arm around the secretary's waist and left the meeting room. Zongheng Shopping Mall had told him over the years that he shouldn't pursue things he shouldn't know - otherwise his competitors would most likely be his. Lessons from the past.
When the door of the conference room was closed, the lights that had been turned off magically turned on again.
"Thank you, Mr. Borgin." Delphine's figure appeared from the originally empty conference table.
"After two days when the news of the completion of their merger is announced, we will sell the stocks and estimate that we can make a profit of... 500 million pounds. Including our previous short selling of their competitors, we can probably make a profit of 1000 million pounds from the entire operation. ——The Dark Lord’s mission target is almost completed.”
"1000 million pounds - that's nearly 200 million galleons." Bo Jin's figure appeared from the lifted phantom spell, looking incredible: "I just talked about it, and then used the phantom spell to secretly take some pictures. Photos of melons, how could one obtain such a large amount of wealth so easily..."
"You are just talking, but the Dark Lord has worked hard. Otherwise, do you think the so-called landslides and whale migrations are really natural conditions?" Delphine snorted and said disdainfully. "And this little bit is just emergency start-up capital, don't make such a fuss."
Bo Jin nodded with an apologetic smile, a greedy light flashing in his eyes: "You can make so much profit in a few weeks... If this continues..."
"Don't be stupid. The Dark Lord just grabbed the Ministry of Magic and didn't investigate these incidents in detail. He simply made a profit." Delphine said seriously: "Don't do unnecessary things and don't say unnecessary words. This is right. It’s better for you than anything else.”
Bo Jin was shocked and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize. At the same time, his awe for the Dark Lord deepened.
It seems that this Dark Lord is not just planning to rule wizards with terror. It is not surprising that his power may extend to the Muggle world.
