Chapter 201: Lockhart Lost

Lynn didn't spend a long time in the magical world, but he found wizards, at least a common problem with wizards in Europe.

Like the legendary dragon, they like to hide shiny golden things.

Especially the pure-blood family, except for the Weasley family, almost every family will open a vault in Gringotts.

Yes, it is to open a vault to deposit money, which is different from the concept of depositing in a bank.

Bank deposits The bank also pays you interest, but the vault is like a bank safe. Not only does it have no interest, you have to pay Gringotts a large sum of money.

Just as a large amount of gold in ancient China was buried in the ground with the owner's tomb, in the magic world, a large amount of gold Jialong did not participate in the circulation of the market, but was stored in the vault.

This habit is very bad, and Old John is a serious patient with a Tibetan gold certificate.

"Buy, bought twelve pure-blood families?" Old John asked stutteringly.

Lynn explained his plan to him little by little.

"Of course we can't just throw money on their faces, saying that they will be ours in the future. The reason why they can become Hogwarts directors must have their own business, otherwise the school will cost a lot of money each year. They can't afford to spend money if they have been sitting and eating. They also have their own family business to support these expenses.

There are industries participating in the market, so it's easy to pick them up. I read those share contracts in the No. 63 vault. Basically, companies in all industries in the magic world have shares? "

Old John reports to Lin Enhui.

"Yes, except for Floo fans, which are industrial companies controlled by the Ministry of Magic, we are basically involved in all industries involved in the magic world, including flying broomsticks, potions, magical animal-related materials, and magic books. These industries have absolute controlling rights."

"Then find the pillar industries of these companies, spend money to cut off their market share, and then buy their companies when they can't survive.

But remember that you must take your time and don’t let them discover what’s wrong. You have to draw a pie for them first. The reason for acquiring their company is because you want to establish an all-round enterprise in the magic world, and the future development prospects of this enterprise. It's very beautiful. The wizard's food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable from it, and even this enterprise can completely control the economy of the magical world.

You have to promise to leave them a way back. For example, you are willing to let them occupy a certain share in the company and cannot participate in management, but they can get dividends every year. In order to show their sincerity, they can have a lot of dividend shares in this company, and you have to be true. Investing money in it is even more than what they have invested.

The frogs were boiled in warm water, and it took a year to destroy the company and let them lose all the money. When they found something was wrong, they became paupers. Not right, maybe there will be a little coffin left by the ancestors. "

Yelena's body shuddered involuntarily after listening to this poisonous trick that Lynn said.

Is this really something that a 13 or 4 year old child can do?

Old John didn't think of this, he was bringing into the plan that Lynn said, and calculating the feasibility of it.

"Master, it's okay to do this, but..." Old John looked disheartened, "If we have to invest more than they put in, we will lose a lot of money in the end."

Lynn raised his eyebrows.

"How much do you lose?"

The assets of the twelve families cannot be calculated so easily, but Old John can estimate it.

"The money in the vault will lose at least half of it."

Lynn touched his chin: "That's not a big loss, it's only more than three million."

Yelena: "..."

"You have already lost a lot, young master." Old John said bitterly, "Lungard owns nearly half of the company's shares in the magic world, and has accumulated nearly five generations of talents to save more than six million gold gallons."

"Why do you want to save money?" Lynn waved his hand, "Money can't make money, saving in his hands is of no use except for the payment of warehouse management fees and devaluation. But..."

He bowed his head in a contemplative manner.

"It’s really not good to just waste it in this way. Then we will set up two companies, one will be handled by you, mainly used to acquire those twelve family businesses and then integrate them into one big company, and the second will let your team To operate, copy the business model of the first one, the two companies compete, and the second company is used to squeeze the market and assets of the first company. The management on both sides are you. It is easy to cross the first company without being discovered. However, the left hand was turned to the right. In the end, the second company sucked the blood of the first company and continued to grow until it went bankrupt. In this way, not only would it not lose in the end, but we could even make a profit."

Yelena: "......"

Old John: "......"

What kind of hatred or resentment!

This is what Yelena is thinking at the moment.

What magic school are you going to? Isn’t it better to inherit Lungard’s estate and rule the magic world through business than to go to school at Hogwarts?

This is what Old John thinks at the moment.

Lynn’s plan is absolutely illegal to put in the Muggle world, but in the magic world, their laws are not perfect at all. Even Arthur Weasley knows that when he writes the law, he leaves a back door for himself, magic law. The loopholes are countless.

So even if the Twelve Families were finally discovered, they couldn't let the Ministry of Magic arbitrate.

"If this is the case, then we won't have to completely tear our skins in the end." Lynn leaned back on the sofa, tilted Erlang's legs, and lightly sipped the warm black tea.

"After all, we are not bad guys. The ultimate goal is not to pit their money. As long as they know they are willing to package and sell the Hogwarts board of directors to us, the second company that is full of blood, they are not allowed to hold shares. ."

Old John wouldn't care about the life and death of those twelve families. Now he is just helping Lynn to perfect his plan seriously.

"This seems feasible, but if you want to make money without losing money, can the all-round enterprise you mentioned really make money?"

"Even if you don't make money?" Lynn said indifferently, "The big deal is that we are splitting it into several small companies, and then merged into our fully controlled company, then we still make money in the end, don't forget, We could have brought in the old twelve families. Moreover, we have achieved the most fundamental purpose. The power of the Hogwarts school board has fallen into our hands."

"High! The young master's methods are really high!" After Lynn explained, Old John exclaimed sincerely.

"Of course, the implementation of the specific plan still has to be operated by you and your team. I can at most give you a general direction and goal."

Lynn looked at Old John seriously: "Remember, our fundamental purpose is to get a seat on the board of directors of Hogwarts. Making money and not losing money are both secondary, even if you really lose three hundred in the end. It doesn't matter if you have a lot of money, as long as the fundamental purpose is achieved, it will still be earned."

"I understand." Old John has completely entered the role of a housekeeper.

Settling the Hogwarts board of directors is of course only the first step. Even if Lynn is nominally the only board of directors at Hogwarts, as long as the Ministry of Magic is willing to issue an education order, then whatever it is is a piece of paper. Empty talk.

However, the most difficult thing to deal with in the West has always been capitalists rather than politicians. If only enough money is given, the so-called politicians are just a bunch of clowns. This is the same regardless of whether it is Muggles or in the magical world.

Yelena and Lynn stayed with Old John for a long time. At noon, the old housekeeper showed Lynn his cooking skills. In the afternoon, they supplemented the details of the Hogwarts acquisition plan, and finally it was near the evening. Get up and say goodbye.

Before Lynn returned to England, Yelena took a walk with him in this small village in Switzerland.

"Why do you want to buy Hogwarts so much?" Yelena asked puzzled.

"What I told you is very simple, it's simply because I like Hogwarts." Lynn didn't lie to Yelena, what he said was the truth, "Also, I'll give you a piece of advice, if you want Lan Guo If it becomes strong, then education is the foundation of everything."

"Now Lan State does not have its own magic school, if the little wizards of our country want to go to school, they can only go to the French School of Wizarding and Wizardry in Bousbaton."

Lynn shrugged and said: "Indeed, it is not easy to build a magic academy. It won't work without a certain foundation."

After talking about this, both sides suddenly fell into silence.

They walked forward about a hundred meters, and Lynn broke the silence between the two.

"Well, let's stop here today, I should go back too."

Yelena pursed her lips and looked at him.

"Even if you go to Hogwarts in the future, remember to contact me often."

Lynn raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Why?"

Yelena walked up to him, condescendingly used her height advantage to mess up Lynn's hair with both hands.

"Because I am your sister Yelena! Sister! Ah!"

She bit the word    very hard, but Lynn didn't care that there was something in her words, but broke free from her clutches.

"Hey! You are too much!"

"Isn't it right for my sister to touch my brother's head?"

......

Lynn did not go straight home, he planned to take advantage of today to complete all the tasks that Dumbledore gave him.

So before the sunset completely disappeared, Kira took Lynn to a house in Devonshire.

Guidro Lockhart, a star wizard in the British magical world, from 11-year-old Lori to 80-year-old dream lover, but Lynn knows very well that the real Lockhart is actually a master of oblivion Cursed liar.

All of his adventures were not his own real experiences, but dictated by others. He used the oblivion spell to change the memory of the person before stealing this adventure, falsely claiming that these were his stories.

And now this liar wants to add another Hogwarts professor identity to himself, by the way, rely on this circle of money again. Only after that, Dumbledore's contact with him was broken, and he didn't know what was wrong with this guy, so he asked Lynn to visit Lockhart's house specifically.

Compared to Lockhart’s public personality, the place where he lives is very low-key. This is actually a matter of course. If his residence is exposed, some crazy fans may be stuck in front of his house every day. What's coming out.

Lynn stood in front of the house and rang the doorbell, but there was no response from inside.

He looked at the closed door and hesitated for a while, and finally decided to call Kira over.

"Open the door with an unlocking spell."

Lynn has not forgotten that he still has healds on his body. He can use magic lawlessly in the country of Su, but when he returns to the UK, he will be a little cautious (Note)

Kira fulfilled Lynn's order perfectly. It stretched out its long fingers and used the unlocking spell on the Lockhart's door.

Lin opened the door and walked in. The house was messy, but it was not the kind of chaos that seemed to be patronized by thieves or fighting with others, but it was normal and messy. The house owner’s living habits were very sloppy. A pair of unwashed men’s underwear was found on the sofa.

He didn't mess around in Lockhart's house. He left after confirming that Lockhart was not at home and there was no sign of being caught from home.

There is no clue, Lockhart seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

But this matter doesn't need Lynn to have a headache. He just came here to help Dumbledore take a look, and didn't say to help him find the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

......

Lynn’s house, Kira and Lynn are not here this evening.

Hermione is here teaching Xiaoying to understand the basics of life.

"Why does the sky produce lightning?"

"Because there are thunder fathers and electric mothers in the sky!"

Hermione looked at her blankly: "What is that?"

Xiao buried her calf in front of the desk, and said solemnly: "It is a fairy tale that Lynn told me. There are not only thunder fathers and electric mothers, but also wind and rain masters. If someone lied, they would release thunder and discharge and punish the lying. Child."

"Then your brother Lynn must be the first to be struck to death by lightning." Hermione said blankly.

Xiaobai asked puzzledly: "Why?"

"Because he is the number one liar in the world." Hermione seemed to have some bad memories. UU read www.uukahnshu.com gritted her teeth and said, "What we are going to tell today is not mythology, but common sense of life. , So do you know how lightning actually occurs?"

"I don't know." Xiao Jian answered hard.

"Lightning is produced by the collision and friction of clouds in the sky, and the reason why you see lightning first and then hear thunder is because the speed of light travels faster than sound..."

Hermione was talking seriously, but Xiao Bui had no thoughts at all. Today, the two mountains on her head were not at home, so she rarely had a time of presumptuousness.

"Shall we do something interesting, Sister Hermione?"

Hermione knocked her little head with the book.

"Learning is an interesting thing."

Xiao Bui said slyly: "Should we go and see what baby is hiding in Lynn's room?"

Hermione was stunned, she squeezed the corner of her clothes.

"This is not so good..."

"If you don't want to see me, you can just watch it alone."

Xiaomai jumped down from the chair and happily jumped upstairs.

Hermione's face was struggling, her heart hesitated for three seconds, and finally she said to herself.

"I'm going to stop her."

She also left from the living room.

"Yes, I am going to stop her, how can I enter his room without Lynn's consent?"
