Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

poaching team

As soon as Zhang Xu finished speaking, there was an uproar in the conference room.

Once a bank run occurs, if the bank fails to survive it, it will be a dead end. Even if it survives this time, it will be severely damaged if it does not die immediately.

Although the value preservation function of Gringotts' precious metal currency itself is much higher than that of banknotes, if Gringotts goes bankrupt and those gold coins no longer circulate as currency, but only circulate as precious metals, the loss will be not small.

Zhang Xu raised his hands and pressed them down, telling everyone to be calm.He continued: "Just this morning, the Galleon exchange rate has depreciated by [-]% against major European currencies such as the British pound and the US dollar. If everyone converts into British pounds and US dollars at the Gringotts exchange rate today, we will suffer a lot. gone."

"In order to reduce everyone's losses, I decided to use RMB at the original exchange rate to recover all the currencies issued by Gringotts in everyone's hands. Of course, I will not be able to come up with cash for this money for a while, so I use my money at home. The shares in the Umbrella pharmaceutical factory are used as collateral, and it is guaranteed to be paid off before the Spring Festival next year, and the monthly interest will be repaid at an interest rate of 4.5, which is a bit higher than that of the National Bank."

When they heard that Zhang Xu wanted to mortgage the shares of his pharmaceutical factory, the bosses all looked at Zhang Xu's parents in unison.The couple, who had been reminded by Zhang Xu in advance, nodded to everyone, saying that his boss Xiao Zhang has the final say on this matter.

The bosses present were not fools. After seeing the British flocking to buy bags and safes just now, they already believed the sudden run on Gringotts.Now the sales and deposits in their hands are not small figures. In the face of such emergencies, it would be good if they can stop losses in time, and thank God if they can preserve their value.At this time, Zhang Xu jumped out to take the offer, and everyone was very happy.

"Boss Xiao Zhang, I have a question." Boss Huang, who has a good relationship with Zhang Xu because of the common language, raised his hand and asked, "Everyone is talking about business, is it good for you? Are you learning?" "

"Since you asked the question sincerely, Boss Huang, I will tell you truthfully that I still have many friends who can talk to me in this land." Zhang Xu pointed to the ceiling with his finger, "This After the money is collected, I can guarantee my final income through medium and long-term investment. But you will return to your country next month. If you focus on making medium- and long-term investment in this unfamiliar place, you will face There will be a lot of problems, so it's better to stop loss and protect value and earn a little interest from me."

After thinking and discussing for a few minutes, the bosses present all agreed to Zhang Xu's suggestion.During their time in the UK, they have seen the current chaos in this part of the UK.It's okay to do business, but the risk of investment is too high. It's better for people like Zhang Xu who have a solid foundation here to do this kind of thing.Some things are best to accept as soon as they are good. Since Boss Xiao Zhang is willing to take over the offer, why not do it

So everyone took action immediately, counting the gold, silver and copper coins in their hands one after another. Zhang Xu printed a stack of format contracts on the computer in the office next to him, and he called Dobby at the same time, and asked Dobby to arrange several house-elf employees to come help.

More than ten minutes later, an elderly boss joked that the meeting room had become a place where landlords used to pay rent.

The house elf on the side helped to count the three kinds of coins, and after the amount obtained was verified and approved by both parties, they filled in numbers, signed, stamped and fingerprinted the form contract on the spot.When the money has been collected to a certain extent, it will be transported by other house elves to the place designated by Zhang Xu for storage.

After being busy for more than an hour, everyone exchanged all the money to Zhang Xu except the silver coins and copper coins that were kept as change.

Zhang Xu was taken aback by the final count. Compared with the money he exchanged to the merchants at the beginning, the amount of money recovered now is a bit jealous.And that's not counting those merchants from other European countries who returned home for the holidays last night.

After accepting the contract, Zhang Xu rushed to London immediately.

In the City of London, the door of an extremely ordinary meeting room in this place was pushed open, Zhang Xu hurriedly walked in, and handed a piece of paper with a series of numbers to the waiting room in the meeting room. his

people.

If a wizard who knew everyone here walked into this meeting room, he would be so surprised by the weird combination in front of him that his jaw would drop.But if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not impossible for these people to get together.

The person sitting on the main seat is the only Muggle here, the father of Hogwarts Eagle School student Michael Owen, and Mr. Owen who has been working in finance in the City of Finance for many years.Zhang Xu was the introducer who showed the magical world to their family for the first time.What he represents here is the interests of several investment institutions in the financial city.

Beside him, the young man with red hair was Bill Weasley.He has cooperated with Zhang Xu in business for many years, and the whole family has a close relationship with Zhang Xu.At this moment, he holds the treasury of the wizarding families of the Order of the Phoenix, including the Weasley family, the Potter family, the Black family, and the Longbottom family.

Sitting on the other side of Bill, the old man who didn't give Zhang Xu a good look after he came in was Mr. Zepesh Scarlet who had returned to England after many years of absence.Mr. Scarlett, who was already broken and broken, lost his anger after sinking Mr. Zhang once under the sea, and he didn't care what the eldest daughter liked.Now he is the face of a family of wizards who fled to Hong Kong to escape Lord Voldemort more than 20 years ago.

And beside him was Madame Delacour who was smiling and looking at Zhang Xu.Mr. Delacour, who is an official of the French Ministry of Magic, is not easy to come forward for some things, so she is responsible for the pockets of Veela relatives.

On the other side of Mr. Owen, sat Narcissa Malfoy, wife of the Minister of Magic in London.Under Lao Ma's lobbying, a group of veteran British wizarding capitalist families paid out money to join this feast of poaching corners of Gringotts.Coupled with the fact that Garen had mortgaged the Ministry of Magic building from Gringotts, she had the strongest funds among all the people present.

Sitting with her was Mrs. Patil who had stood the last watch for the Patil family.This time, in the name of her family, she raised a large sum of money among various families in India to join this operation.After she made a lot of money for the Patil family this time, she and her daughters settled with the Patil family.

Sitting next to Mrs. Patil was a well-dressed old man. It was Horatio Rodney, who had met Zhang Xu several times.He was the latest to join the group, but he was one of the white gloves representing Lafayette.

The young man sitting at the end of this row was Cedric Diggory, Assistant Minister of Hogsmeade's Ministry of Magic.In this operation, the Northern Ministry of Magic is the least paid of the group, and they need to hide it.So Scrimgeour threw Cedric over, trying to use his relationship with Zhang Xu to hitch a ride and make money while preventing his own interests from being swallowed up too much by his teammates.

Zhang Xu plays the role of mediator and communicator in this ever-growing team formed in late summer and early autumn this year.Whenever there are conflicts and differences within the team, he is like eating the fruit of face, allowing everyone to sit down and communicate slowly, and then solve the problem.

This team member comes from the four places on both sides of the English Channel, Britain, France, China and India. Among all the teams in the world who dig Gringotts corners, they can barely enter the first camp. This is because they mortgaged the building of the British Ministry of Magic to get a sum of money. The blessing of huge sums of money.

After the numbers brought by Zhang Xu circulated among the crowd, everyone was more confident in the next negotiation with Gringotts.

Since Voldemort chose to attack Gringotts headquarters directly tonight, this team that could directly contact Gringotts headquarters quickly changed its course of action, and first withdrew from the foreign exchange market. With Gringotts needing a large amount of cash to supplement cash flow, the real estate in Gringotts' hands will be attacked.

As the headquarters of Gringotts, the real estate distributed all over the world held by Gringotts in London is the essence of the entire Gringotts system.

If this deal is done well, the long-term gains will be much more substantial than the gains from the foreign exchange market in the next six months.

Moreover, the hidden risks hidden in the next changes in the wizarding world's financial system are too great, and converting the funds on hand into real estate at the last moment is a choice to reduce risks.
