Chapter 378： School Council Seats

Old John is in a meeting.

This is his 12th meeting this month, but this time is slightly different from the previous eleven.

These veteran pure-blood families in the British magical world gathered again and respectfully invited him to participate in this meeting.

They had actually sent out two invitations to Old John before, all of which made him decline on the grounds that the company was busy and had no time.

But this time he felt that these people were almost hanging out, and finally agreed to the invitation to participate in the meeting.

The United Company is now completely finished. The people of these pure-blood families can be said to have only lost their underpants, but at this meeting, they still showed a smiling face and did not dare to give Old John the slightest ugly face.

"We always feel that you have taken so much effort to pull us into this set, and it took such a long time. It can't really be purely for our little industry in the UK, right?"

Malfoy was selected as the representative this time, responsible for leading the negotiations with Old John.

"Your industry is almost everywhere in Europe. Even the previous British magic market has at least 10% of your market share.

The entire UK magic market is not small in the eyes of us, but in your eyes you should not look at this place at all, or even if you look at it, it does not take so long and effort to get it.

So Mr. John, what do you want from us? "

Hearing Malfoy's question, Old John took a slow sip of the hot tea on the table.

"I said, I didn't get you into any set. This is the way to do business. If someone makes money, then someone loses. You can't imagine that there will always be a business that makes a profit without losing it? If there is such a good thing, So why bother to do business?"

Even at this time, Old John was still reluctant to admit that the joint company was actually his trap.

He's not stupid at all. As long as he doesn't get the actual handle of a business conspiracy, he can still fool it.

If someone uses something to record at this time, even though it won't affect what's already a foregone conclusion, it's still a trouble.

The people sitting on both sides of the table gritted their teeth with such a pretended attitude of old John.

Malfoy seemed to be very self-conscious, he didn't show the slightest expression of dissatisfaction, and said along to Old John.

"Okay, we accept it!

You are right. As long as there is a profit in doing business, there will be a loss. This time we are unlucky and we have become a group of people who have lost everything, but we still have to live in the future, and we also have families to support.

This time, I want to consult with Mr. John about what to do to recover our losses and let us live a normal life in the future. "

He put his posture very low, his tone sounded like Old John was a bully who forced his good into a prostitution.

In fact, in a sense, this analogy is not wrong.

Old John tapped his fingers on the tabletop lightly, and said without any haste.

"Everyone has lost money here, and I can understand your difficulties and situations. After all, even if I have lost everything, as long as there is nothing wrong with the parent company, then it is not a pain, but you are indeed paying for it. Entered all the family business..."

He seemed to be thinking, and he seemed to be weighing something.

The feelings of these pure-blood family patriarchs are the same as Old John’s finger is now tapping on the tabletop.

After finally pondering for a moment, Old John continued to speak.

"I do have a way for you to recover some losses."

Everyone who was sitting held their breath and listened to what he said.

"After experiencing this failure, I have developed a keen interest in the senior management of Lunjiade Company, so I was introduced to meet with their company chairman.

Although he caused us a heavy loss, it is undeniable that he is indeed very business-minded and capable, so we had a very happy conversation. "

When the others heard what he said, they felt as uncomfortable as eating flies.

I have never heard of anyone talking to myself very happily.

"After that, I mentioned your current situation with him, and explained that you are all local snakes in the British magical world. If he wants to do business here in the future, it is best to have a good relationship with you.

After all, they will all be in the UK in the future, and everyone will look up and see you. He also deeply agrees with what I said, and decided to open up some markets that originally belonged to you and go back, and can also provide you with a certain amount of funds. "

Hearing what he said, none of the Patriarchs of the pure-blood family showed joy on their faces, but frowned more deeply.

It is absolutely impossible for Old John to discover that the conditions are so good. If he is so kind, it is impossible for him to evolve into the current situation.

The more things he returns to them, the greater his conspiracy Such a good thing is definitely not unconditional, right? "Malfoy asked tentatively.

"Of course not." Old John didn't deny it. He directly spoke out his request. "The chairman likes children very much and especially likes to help them improve their education. So he wants to have all Hogwarts in the hands of everyone sitting there. The seats on the board of directors of the magic school came in exchange."

Until this time, these people really knew what the ultimate goal of Old John was.

He came to the UK for this from the very beginning. The previous ones, whether they cheated them into a joint company, or eventually swallowed up all their property, were all just to get a seat on the Hogwarts Board of Trustees. bedding!

The Patriarchs of the pure-blood family were silent for a long time, and none of them spoke first.

Because seats on the board of trustees are also not something they can easily abandon, it is difficult for each of them to make a choice in such an exchange.

"We agreed."

Finally, when everyone was silent, Malfoy spoke for them.

Old John didn't feel the slightest surprise about this.

Hogwarts’ seats on the Board of Trustees are important, but if they don’t even have a family property, they can’t afford to support this position.

Anyone can see the trade-offs clearly.

A smile appeared on Old John's face. He immediately took out a few parchments and distributed them to everyone's hands.

"If this is the case, then everyone should take a look at this contract, and if there are no problems, sign on it, right?"

Malfoy had taken the contract, looked at it seriously, and then looked at Old John again.

"We don't need any industry or market share in this transaction. We only need money to be stored in the Gringotts vault in Jin Jialong!"
