Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

新华社霍格莫德12月7日电记者刘涟当地时间1997年12月7日，中央顾问委员会副主任赵昊在霍格莫德设晚宴邀请了英国魔法部部长鲁弗斯斯克林杰。

In his speech, Zhao Hao reviewed the new progress in cooperation between the two countries in various fields in recent years, highly praised Minister Scrimgeour's contribution to promoting the development of bilateral relations, and hoped that the friendly cooperation between the two countries will continue to reach new heights.

Zhao Hao said that both countries are major economies in the world and are each other's important cooperative partners.At the end of the month, Chinese leaders will pay a state visit to the UK.We are willing to take advantage of the momentum with the UK to plan and promote the development of bilateral relations, continue to develop bilateral relations on the basis of mutual respect and equal cooperation, and better achieve mutual benefit and win-win results. This is not only beneficial to the two countries, but also beneficial to Asia and Europe , is also beneficial to the world.China is willing to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the UK in various fields and at all levels, including commercial exchanges, to consolidate the public opinion foundation for the development of bilateral relations, and to promote the sustained and healthy development of bilateral relations.

Zhao Hao pointed out that my country is further opening up, and a series of new measures are being implemented one after another, and British commercial enterprises have become the first beneficiaries.We welcome more British companies to invest in China, and at the same time hope that the UK will create a fair environment for Chinese companies to invest and operate in the UK.We are willing to expand people-to-people and cultural exchanges with the UK to consolidate the public opinion foundation for bilateral relations.

Zhao Hao emphasized that the current international situation is undergoing complex and profound changes.The two countries have the same or similar views on many issues. The two sides should continue to strengthen bilateral and multilateral cooperation, so as to bring more stability to the world while benefiting the two peoples.

Scrimgeour said that this visit has enabled me to further appreciate the profound friendship between the two countries and feel the increasingly close people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries.Located at the two ends of the Eurasian continent, the two countries are important strategic cooperative partners.In the past few years, the UK has benefited from your country's opening up and development, especially the substantial development of the UK-China economic and trade relationship.The UK is willing to further expand the scale of bilateral trade, gradually open your country to invest in the UK, strengthen dialogue between the two sides, and work with you to safeguard free trade and the existing international order.

After the dinner, Zhao Hao held an informal meeting with Scrimgeour, which was beneficial. The two sides fully exchanged views on issues of common concern and enhanced understanding.

Zhang Xu, Cultural Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in the UK, and others participated in the above activities.

Located in the north of Scotland, Hogsmeade is the only village in the UK where all residents are composed of wizards. It was built at the end of the tenth century and the beginning of the eleventh century, and the founder was Hengis.

"What did you talk about tonight?" Fu Rong asked Zhang Xu.

It was late at night, and it was already snowing heavily outside the window.

The day's activities are over, and Zhang Xu is preparing to return to Hogwarts.

"One key word," Zhang Xu said after sitting by the bed and covering her with the quilt, "that is trade."

"When we went to the candy store this afternoon, didn't we see that the candy store was out of stock?"

"Beginning this month, various manufacturers in the UK suddenly collectively stopped supplying goods to Hogsmeade merchants, and they are now only supplying goods to merchants operating in Diagon Alley."

This afternoon, when Furong was picking candies for Gabriel in the candy store, Zhang Xu got the news from the boss and his wife.

The Honeydukes Candy Store was not the only one that encountered this situation. Except for the stores that sold imported goods and self-produced goods in the entire Hogsmeade, other businesses were sold out by their upstream manufacturers.Even self-produced and self-sold stores are facing the threat of out of stock of raw materials.

"So they want to buy goods from you," Fu Rong immediately responded.

Zhang Xu nodded.

There is no need to hide this from Fleur, as long as Scrimgeour is not stupid, he will not put all his eggs in one basket.Just now, when everyone was full and started negotiating, Scrimgeour explicitly stated that he would greet fellow Europeans on the other side of the strait at the same time, so don't ask too high a price.Facing such a huge piece of cake in the British market, if the Ministry of Magic of France and other European countries does not send someone to come in a few days, his name on Zhang's household registration book will be changed to Zhang Jiajia.

Zhang Xu pinched Fu Rong's nose and said, "Okay, you go to sleep, I will come over tomorrow."

North wind

Snow flakes fly, fly all over the sky

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the wind is unwilling to be lonely. Together with the snow, it is rampaging in every corner of this land.

Back at Hogwarts, Zhang Xu half-lyed on the recliner on the balcony of the professor's dormitory, watching the snowflakes outside the balcony under the candlelight, holding a thermos in his hand, slowly digesting what happened tonight.

Zhang Xu was not surprised by Scrimgeour's visit today, he had already expected this.Behind this incident is not just the simple business he and Furong said to do business, but also a series of incidents that happened recently, which put a lot of pressure on Scrimgeour.It's just that he didn't expect that the straw that broke the camel's back was the kidnapping of Mrs. Weasley.

Since the British Ministry of Magic was divided into two parts, the North and the South, both Ministry of Magic are working hard to rebuild an orthodox Ministry of Magic.

However, on the crucial point of rebuilding the Wizengamot, the Southern Ministry of Magic, with the efforts of Lucius Malfoy, who is good at dancing, has won the support of nearly half of the original Wizengamot members.If it weren't for more than half of the original Wizengamot members who chose to wait and see, the Northern Ministry of Magic, which was supported by only a few former Wizengamot members, would have suffered a crushing defeat.

However, recent news indicated that after Malfoy gained the support of various capitalist families, more and more members of the original Wizengamot began to flirt with the Southern Ministry of Magic.

In this way, the pressure on Scrimgeour will be great.

In addition, the capital tycoons who supported Malfoy began to use their commercial weapons, and had already brought back some businesses that had escaped from Diagon Alley.When these bigwigs manipulated Diagon Alley to transfuse blood to the Southern Ministry of Magic, they simultaneously cut off the blood supply to Hogsmeade and the Northern Ministry of Magic behind it.

Especially now that the Christmas shopping season has arrived, if Hogsmeade, the business card of the Northern Ministry of Magic, suffers from economic depression due to the continuous economic blockade, it will deal a serious blow to the reputation of the Northern Ministry of Magic.At the same time, as economic activity picks up in Diagon Alley, the prestige of the Southern Ministry of Magic will also increase.

Under the ebb and flow, the grassroots wizards who originally favored the Northern Ministry of Magic will lean towards the Southern Ministry of Magic.

If the grassroots wizards and capital bosses all sided with the Southern Ministry of Magic, then Scrimgeour had no choice but to tie Harry Potter to Diagon Alley and let him and Voldemort single out such a way to come back.

So Scrimgeour had to open the door to foreign capital in a short period of time, with the intention of prospering the northern market in the shortest possible time, in order to fight against Diagon Alley in the south.

The wizarding world market in the UK was originally a relatively closed market, where local protection prevailed.And the reason why Scrimgeour took such extreme measures to brutally open the country to let foreign capital rush in to grab meat in the market was the failure of the operation to rescue Mrs. Weasley last night.

The current position of the Weasley family is very delicate.

Among the six fields of soldiers, farmers, businessmen and soldiers, apart from agriculture, Arthur Weasley has a good reputation in the Ministry of Magic. Bill and his twin brothers are very successful in industry and commerce, and have a very high prestige among Hogwarts students. The Harry trio were all close to the Weasleys, and Percy was well-known among Aurors at home and abroad.It is even more delicate in the field of diplomacy. This morning, Mrs. Weasley's American cousin, relatives in Russia and France, and the leaders of Erba's work unit also approached Scrimgeour, expressing that they paid great attention to this matter.

At that time, Scrimgeour even wanted to kidnap Malfoy's wife in exchange for hostages.

Therefore, according to Zhang Xu's analysis, Scrimgeour, who was under great pressure, had to make a necessary compromise in the face of the opponent's set of combined punches, first solve one of the problems and relieve some of the pressure.

It's just that Scrimgeour may not have expected that, even though they are both wizards, the way of thinking of the people from the east is different from his.

According to Scrimgeour's prediction, when he pulls in European countries, these European compatriots who have been envious of the British market for many years will inevitably raise their butcher's knives and slash at him.So he also brought in a certain country from the east, trying to use it as a price tag for bargaining with his European compatriots.If my European compatriots ask too much, then I will cooperate with my Asian friends.

It’s just that some people who like to use the price of cabbage to go the way of others, and finally make people have nowhere to go. After receiving a call early in the morning, they rushed to the nearest airport with a flight to the UK before they even had breakfast. went.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xu drank the hot water in the thermos in one gulp, stretched his waist, and went back to sleep under the covers. He still had to be busy for the next few days.

In the past few years, he managed to make a breakthrough in the British magic society market.Next, it was time for some people behind him to rush towards the breach along with the Charger.
