After a series of discussions, it was noon. Ryan and the others politely declined Professor Dumbledore's invitation to lunch and left Hogwarts Castle together. After all, for Ryan, there is a large amount of money to be completed right now. And before the completion of this transaction, it is estimated that everyone involved in the transaction should have little appetite for food by now.

Soon they were outside the United Wizards of Britain bank in Hogsmeade, but the crowd at the door really startled Ryan and Mrs. Bones: the doorway of the three-story building made of creamy marble was crowded, and there were even some impatient wizards holding their money bags above their heads and waving them with the jingle of tinkling.

"Uncle Dosu, what the hell is going on here?" asked Hermione curiously, looking at the group of wizards in front of her who were lined up by two bank clerks. "Why are there so many people queuing at the front of the bank, and is there anything in the bank that attracts them?"

"Today this should be the first batch of public bonds issued by the Celestial Empire Fangshu Federation in the United Kingdom, but I didn't expect so many people to buy them. Xiong Duosu stretched out his paws and scratched his ears and said. "Of course, I think this may be because Gringotts in the UK used to provide financial custody services to most ordinary wizards, so British wizards often lack sufficient investment channels. And our batch of public bonds is just the release of this kind of consumption jade. ”

"We never had so many people lined up here when we issued the British Ministry of Magic's bonds. Ms. Bones' voice rang out from the side. "Because most of the staff of the Ministry of Magic are from the Muggle world, after many people found out that the Ministry of Magic was short of money, they directly negotiated to contact the bank to issue our public bonds, but very few people bought them. ”

"How so—" Ryan asked curiously, turning his head to look at Ms. Burns, although he knew that there were very few people who bought bonds in the previous days, he didn't know why the Ministry of Magic would directly abandon the plan to issue bonds to the public this time to raise money, and instead directly borrow money from himself.

"Because the reputation of the Ministry of Magic is so bad right now. Ms. Bones smiled wryly. "Especially after the loss of the Ministry of Magic in London, even with the full help of you and Professor Dumbledore, there is still a lack of confidence in us. ”

"As you know, we barely sold the bonds in the first few times, and in the end it was your generosity that solved the problem. And this 20-year public bond is not optimistic about us internally, so we can simply ask you to borrow money directly. ”

"Seriously, Ms. Bones. Our Celestial Empire is actually very interested in the public debt of the British wizarding world, but you have given us too many restrictions, so we can only give up. Xiong Duosu said in a somewhat aggrieved voice.

"Of course I know that you are indeed friendly, especially in our darkest moments, and only you have your unequivocal support for us. Miss Bones hastened to reassure the pandaman, "But you know, this is a bond issued by the Ministry of Magic. We really can't allow foreigners to meddle too much in this, and the independence of the British Ministry of Magic is at stake. ”

"Of course, I can understand that. Xiong Duosu nodded, and Hermione asked through the phoenix brand. "Ryan, why would the Ministry of Magic allow you to take on the debt alone? They don't worry that you're going to take control of the Ministry. ”

"They'd have guessed this, there's no way so many people in the Ministry of Magic are so stupid as not to even see the danger. Ryan also replied through the Phoenix Brand, "But what can they do?"

Ryan then followed them into the bank and explained to Hermione, "Don't forget my age and magic level, plus the followers we have in this war and many more people who have a crush on us. Professor Dumbledore, the only one in the British wizarding community who can compete with me in terms of strength, is over 100 years old after all, and if I really want to control the Ministry of Magic, who do you think can stop me? ”

"So, the British wizarding community simply chose to trust your character?" Hermione paused before moving on. "That's right, anyway, a wizard of your level can always lead a country's magical world to his own time. And you don't show any anti-human and anti-social tendencies, for the British wizarding community, it is very likely that after Professor Dumbledore, it is very likely that it belongs to your era, whether you borrow money from the Ministry of Magic or not, so they can simply take the money boldly. ”

After bypassing the gate and entering through the side staff's small door, Ryan and the others were led to the reception room by a staff member. Xiong Guangcai was already sitting on the sofa waiting for them at this time. After watching them enter the door, he directly took out a series of papers and put them on the table.

"All the documents for the transfer of shares are here. Xiong Guangcai said, "Of course, in addition to the documents for the transfer of shares, there are also blank standard documents that can be used to sign the loan documents of the Ministry of Magic. ”

"Ah, thank you!" said Ms. Bones, who took the papers and sat down, then took a pair of glasses from her robe and put them on. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the reception room, and Percy and Henry Baker, another hemp male wizard who had trained from the joke shop and joined the Ministry of Magic, walked in with a briefcase in one after the other.

"Mr. Weasley, and Mr. Baker, it's a pleasure to meet you. After greeting the two Ministry of Magic staff and everyone in the room, Miss Bones beckoned them to sit down, and said, "Alright, come and take a look at these contracts to make sure they tell us exactly what we mean and not cause any misunderstanding." ”

"Understood, Minister Bones. The two Ministry of Magic staff members sat down at the edge of the table as soon as they received the order, and then picked up the papers on the table and looked at them carefully. Ten minutes later, they looked up together, "There is nothing wrong with the file." ”

"That's good. Ms. Bones nodded, took a quill from the inkwell on the table, signed her name at the end of the paperwork, and handed it to Ryan. After Lane signed his name, he handed the pen and paper to Xiong Duosu. It wasn't until everyone had signed their names that Xiong Duosu lit a candle and melted the fire paint.

Soon the fire paint melted, and everyone added a copy of the fire paint to the deed with the seal they were carrying. However, except for Ryan, who used his personal seal, the other two parties used the official seals representing the bank and the Ministry of Magic.

"Well, now the Ministry of Magic is the largest shareholder in this bank. Xiong Duosu carefully checked the signatures and seals and said, "As the largest shareholder, you have the right to appoint a manager and an executive deputy manager of the bank. ”

"We don't plan to change managers anytime soon. Ms. Bones said that because the Ministry of Magic did not have the personnel to take on this position, and they felt that they had taken too much from the panda people before, it was also a way to compensate them for the forces that had been supporting the Ministry of Magic.

"As for the current assistant manager of the bank," said Miss Bones, after a moment's thought, "now that Crouch Sr. has been released from prison, he is still some way from retirement, but it is not appropriate to return to work at the Ministry of Magic. I think I can let him come over and be the executive deputy manager. ”

Ryan felt that Ms. Bones was a very good choice, after all, Crouch Sr., as a person who had a very good chance of obtaining the position of Minister of Magic, must be impeccable in ability, and his serious and somewhat rigid personality was indeed suitable as an overseer sent by the Ministry of Magic in the bank.

As for the previous case, it can be said that there are extenuating circumstances, and he has already accepted the punishment. So after Ms. Burns named the candidate, Lane and the others agreed to the arrangement.

"I wish us a prosperous business in the future. After dealing with everything, Xiong Duosu smiled and blessed everyone, "May Zhao Gongming bless us." ”
