The April sun shines through the glass windows into the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, illuminating everything in the office. Sweep away the gloom of the old castle that used to be common in the whole house.

The war situation was just as exciting for Lane and them as the weather was today, so the time of the meeting began to discuss many things in the principal's office about what to do after the war ended. After all, the war has completely torn the whole British society apart, so there will be a lot of things to deal with after the war is over.

Therefore, when the battle situation has shown the light of day, Ryan and the others need to make some preparations in the general direction in advance. In this way, it is possible to avoid unnecessary losses caused by mistakes in the rush after the war has been truly won.

Fortunately, because of the experience of the last war, there is no need to discuss the handling of war criminals and post-war reconstruction. As long as we follow the cases left over from the past, at most, there will be more sinners who need to be tried this time, and everyone needs to devote more energy to the trial. So there is nothing to discuss.

But beyond that, there are some situations that have never happened before that do need to be arranged in advance, such as the United Wizards Bank of Britannica. Its existence will surely break Gringotts' current financial monopoly on the English wizarding world.

Apparently, Professor Dundedo also noticed this. So after planning the attack on London, the first post-war issue discussed was the question of the United Wizarding Bank of Great Britain.

"Now, the first thing we want to discuss is the status of the United Wizarding Bank of Britain after the war. Dumbledore said, looking at the others in the room. "Of course, I have also invited Mr. Xiong Duosu, the president of the bank, to discuss this issue with us today. ”

With that, Professor Dumbledore unleashed his phoenix patronus. The silver Patronus flew around the office before disappearing into the wall. A few minutes later, a shaggy, chubby figure pushed open the door and walked in.

"Good morning, nice to meet you. After entering the door, Xiong Duosu hugged his two paws together and raised them to his chest, and then leaned forward slightly and bowed to everyone. And several people in the office also stood up and saluted the panda man in their own way.

"Ah, Mr. Xiong Duosu, please be seated. Professor Dumbledore stood up from his chair and spoke exclusively in Mandarin, then waved his wand and conjured a chair as large as a couch around Ryan and the others for everyone to sit down.

"Mr. Headmaster, may I ask you for something to come over with me today?" Xiong Duosu said with a sincere smile on Xiong's face, but if there was a Celestial Dynasty Fang Shi here, he would definitely know that this panda man had definitely found a good opportunity to make money, and now he was using the unique advantages of the race to find a way to lower the vigilance of the other party.

Of course, Dumbledore definitely didn't know about this kind of thing, and because he had dedicated most of his life to education, he was not very good at this kind of business negotiation, so Mr. Headmaster directly said what he was looking for panda people for this time.

"Mr. Bear," said Dumbledore, "you know that we are about to win this war, so we have to make some arrangements now about the aftermath of the war, the most important of which is about the bank. ”

"I see, Mr. Dumbledore. Xiong Duosu raised a paw and said. "As a bank that issues currency, it is certainly not possible to hold it in the hands of foreigners. So I guess today you should want us to hand over control of the bank, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Ms. Bones whispered. Xiong Duosu's straightforwardness embarrassed Dumbledore and Bones, as it made them look like the kind of people who crossed the river and demolished the bridge. After taking advantage of others in the most difficult times, it is now time to exclude others when it is time to reap the results, but there are some things that have to be done for the financial independence of the British wizarding community.

"That's good, I like straightforward people like you in business. After patting his thigh with his paws, the pandaman said, "Actually, we have received orders from the country, and they think that the current state of affairs is only a temporary measure in some kind of emergency." We can give 28.1% of the shares to the British Ministry of Magic and help the British Ministry of Magic to make up the shares to an absolute majority of 50.1%. ”

At this point, Xiong Duosu reached out and picked up a piece of roasted golden honey from the plate on Dumbledore's table and ate it, then continued, "Because of the preparations, we also helped you Britons to train a group of people. Now those who are in important positions will be able to get started as soon as they are withdrawn. ”

"It's so much appreciated. Ms. Bones excitedly said that given the greed of the elves in the past, she had expected to have a lot of difficulty getting the bank back. But I didn't expect these panda people to be so easy to talk to, and even helped them train a group of technicians who could directly take over the bank.

"By the way, what is the price we have to pay for getting these things back?" After a moment of excitement, Ms. Bones reacted to a very important question, because it was obvious that such a large deal could not be given away for nothing.

"It's very simple, it is enough for you to increase the current market price by fifteen percent within two months according to the shares we handed over to you at the right time. This includes all of these personnel training costs as well as technology handover costs. Xiong Duosu said.

This requirement is not too high, and it can even be said to be very conscientious. Of course, Xiong Duosu did not lose anything. After all, the bank's investment was very small at the beginning, and now the money from the sale of this stake is already more than 20 times the cost at that time. And they were able to keep the remaining 21.9% of the shares for long-term benefits

Not to mention that as the vanguard of the Celestial Empire's magical world going overseas, they successfully won the favor of the British magical world and really gained a firm foothold here. So this investment has been very successful for the panda people.

"Of course, of course, the price you offer is very, very reasonable. "But we may not be able to come up with that much money in the time you allotted." ”

Miss Bones was telling the truth, the war for most of the year had put a huge financial burden on the Ministry, and bonds alone had been issued several times. Given that most of the people on this side didn't have much money, in the end, more than ninety percent of these bonds were bought by Ryan at a ninety or fifty percent discount on the face value with various materials and hard currency needed by the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, Ms. Bones turned her head directly to look at Ryan after saying that she had no money in some embarrassment: "Mr. Liang, that-"

"I'm borrowing money again, huh? Ryan looked generous, "How many years are you going to borrow this time?"

"I think it could be, twenty years. Speaking of which, Ms. Burns was even more embarrassed, "Because you borrowed too much money before, the Ministry of Magic will probably not be able to repay the money you borrowed in a short period of time." So instead of being embarrassed when I can't come up with the money, I'd better choose a longer one. ”

"4% for three years, 5% for five years, and 8% for 10 years. Ryan said the interest rate that the Ministry of Magic had asked him to borrow money for. "If it was 20 years, what interest rate would you give?"

"13.5%," Ms. Bones blurted out, apparently having consulted with the rest of the Ministry of Magic before she arrived. This interest rate is not low, but compared to the interest rate demanded by the greedy elves when they borrowed from Gringotts before, Ryan's side is definitely a conscientious creditor.

"Of course," Ryan nodded, and then said to Xiong Duosu next to him, "That's it, Uncle Duosu." I'll go straight to the bank with you in a moment and I'll give you the money. Ms. Bones also went over and signed the loan papers. ”

"Good. "No problem. One bear and one person nodded at the same time. After finally confirming that the business was settled, Professor Dumbledore clapped his hand lightly, summoned a house-elf and then gave a few commands, and the house-elf nodded and disappeared.

Soon the house-elf appeared in the office with a silver platter holding a wine bottle and several glasses, and Dumbledore uncorked the bottle with his wand and instructed the bottle to pour mead into all the cups, and then asked the house-elf to hand the cups to everyone in the office.

"Cheers to our successful cooperation!" Dumbledore smiled and raised his glass after seeing that everyone had gotten their glasses.

"Cheers!"
