"As much as possible, to preserve the scientific spark accumulated by the former Soviet Union?"

Alexei read the parchment in front of him in silence and repeated it in a low voice.

"And when the economies of Russia, Ukraine and other countries stabilize and return to the level before the disintegration, all the technology that remains will be shared with the authorities and governments for free, as well as all the people of Russia, Ukraine and other countries?"

"Yes, it's all magical. It's no more than a normal contract in the non-wizarding world. ”

Elena's eyes flickered, she smiled and nodded, and replied with great seriousness.

With the Yeltsin government's "shock therapy", the economic situation of the former Soviet Union countries has completely embarked on a point of no return, which is the first and last world-wide economic massacre witnessed by mankind after the emergence of the currency market - this is perhaps the most concerted economic activity of human society.

Whether it is the people of the former Soviet Union who hold state-owned securities in their hands, the foreign capital that covets the savings of the former Soviet Union, and the oligarchs and high-ranking officials who are entrenched in the former Soviet Union, all of them have actively or passively contributed their strength in the process of the collapse of the ruble.

Therefore, unless the U.S. government also comes to such a mirror collapse, Ukraine, Russia and other countries will want to return to the national economic level before the disintegration in as little as 30 years, and at most there is no time for them to recover......

At least until the time of Elena's previous life, Russia had just gotten rid of its foreign debt and was barely on the road to recovery.

Ukraine, the breadbasket of Europe, which separated one-third of the former Soviet Union and directly bordered Russia, has successfully transformed from a country that once ranked among the top five in the world and has become the legendary "European womb".

Many of the promises in this contract are destined to not be fulfilled...... What's more, thirty years later, even if they return the part of the scientific and technological information they received, for Elena, it is actually irrelevant.

Of course, these words ...... In this day and age, not many people would believe it.

Most people are optimistic that it will not be long before Russia and Ukraine, which have been temporarily in chaos, will emerge from the shadow of the former Soviet Union and use the savings inherited from the red woolly bear to return to the top of the world.

Glancing with a little pity at the middle-aged researcher sitting in front of her, Elena withdrew her thoughts and continued.

"Not only that, but if conditions allow, I would also like to continue my research in some basic scientific fields on the side of the wizarding world...... Of course, on the more important side, I hope to take this opportunity to find a balance between science and magic, and try to find a different path of civilization. ”

Not perceiving the pity hidden in Elena's gaze, Alexei nodded, moved his finger over the scroll of "Statement of Cooperation" next to him, tapped lightly on one of the lines, and solemnly continued to ask.

"And the potatoes you promised, when will they arrive?"

"It's in the space of my wallet, you can go in and have a look later. At the same time, this is also the source of goods that you and your researchers will be responsible for selling in the future, and the potato shop of Destiny will be fully opened from next week. As for more detailed values and specific potato shop locations......"

Elena replied without hesitation, snapping her fingers lightly.

Immediately after, the goblin Bao Ge, who was standing next to him, walked up quickly with a thick stack of documents, and quickly spread it out on the conference table in front of the two, quickly reporting the results of the statistics over the past few days, as well as the expected strategy.

"Won't the price go up?"

"As the market fluctuates, it will go up a little bit...... However, it is far lower than the free market, which has been completely deformed by the impact of capital, and in order to prevent malicious reselling, we will also take a series of measures such as limited purchases. ”

Elena paused and added meaningfully, "Of course, if the situation continues to deteriorate, we may consider completely detaching the value of potatoes from the ruble and paying them directly as the equivalent of some kind of currency or labor." ”

“...... That's a question for economists, and I just need to make sure everybody can eat. ”

Alexei rubbed his temples, not trying to understand the economic system that Elena was talking about, he was just an ordinary scientific researcher, all this money, money, potatoes...... These are all questions that only women think about.

The man pondered for a moment, then shifted his gaze back to the special magic contract that had been placed next to him.

"So, when are we going to that Hogwarts you call it?"

"By the end of this semester, we'll take the coinage of the wizarding world back into our hands, and when the students go home for the holidays, we'll be transferred in a unified manner...... During this time, you will have plenty of time to organize your affairs at home. ”

"Understood, I don't have any more problems. ”

Alexei nodded, picked up the glittering parchment again, and looked at it carefully.

【Hogwarts Education Completion Program - Temporary Employment Contract】

......

[Ministry of Magic Signature, Hogwarts Signature]

......

On this parchment, many familiar names have been written down by now, and as Elena said before, few are experts in weapons of war, and most of them are scholars engaged in the field of basic science.

As for coverage, it also covers almost all of the areas that make up the cornerstone of a civilization.

"It's a parchment like a demonic parchment, and I don't know what it will bring if I do this...... However, since you are willing to lend a helping hand to those who have nothing to do with you, then even if it is a real devil, I will sign it. ”

Alexei took a deep breath, shook his head half-jokingly, picked up a quill, and carefully signed his long full name on the parchment, his name alone almost filling an entire line.

As the last character fell, Alexei vaguely saw a flash of light flash through his name, and then there seemed to be something more inexplicable on him.

Is this a magical contract? It seems that there are many more things that need to be studied in this world.

"By the way, the last question is just a matter of personal curiosity. ”

Looking at Elena, who was about to leave with the employment contract rolled up with satisfaction, Alexei asked with some curiosity.

"Is it because Hogwarts and Durmstrang have different lesson plans, isn't it a little too early?"

"Well, I used to rely on self-study, because there were no teachers...... But from next school year, hey. ”

Elena blinked mischievously, showed an innocent smile, and said meaningfully.

"Or, guess what?"
