Chapter 3 I exchange a billion gold Galleons
With Hagrid, the old driver, leading the way, Zhang Hao finally entered Diagon Alley smoothly.
It just so happened that Harry was also going to Gringotts to withdraw money, so the group went together.
Gringotts is a towering white building, the first door is a bronze door that glows with a heavy metallic sheen, and at the door stands elven guards in scarlet and gold uniforms.
These goblin guards are also powerful magicians, but in Zhang Hao's opinion, their symbolic meaning is only greater than their practical significance.
Otherwise, no one would have broken in and stolen anything!
The second door at Gringotts is made of Mithril and is engraved with the following inscription:
Strangers come in, but beware of what happens to insatiable greed......
Blindly taking, unearned will be punished with the severest punishment......
So if you want to take a piece of wealth from our underground vault that doesn't belong to you......
You've been warned......
Beware of not the treasure, but the retribution!
Although there is a big grammatical difference between Chinese and English, Zhang Hao feels that these words are awkward no matter how he translates them.
He couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: "No wonder the goblin uprising will fail, and this level of culture will not allow them to succeed!"
When you enter this second door, you will see a wide and bright hall.
About a hundred or so elves sat behind long counters and worked, some registering with quills on heavy ledgers, others weighing coins with scales, and others examining gems with eyepieces......
In short, everything the goblins do is related to wealth.
Zhang Hao just glanced at it a few times before retracting his gaze.
At the same time, he also walked to the main counter at the top.
The elves behind the counter had been so focused on their work that they didn't feel like there were many more people in front of them.
Hagrid coughed and said to a goblin who didn't seem too busy, "Good morning!
The elf looked up and looked at Hagrid and Harry for a moment before he said with a blank face, "Do you have the key?"
Hagrid hurriedly searched around his body, and it took him a long time to find the key to the Potter family's vault.
At this time, Zhang Hao also aroused the attention of another goblin.
The goblin glanced at Zhang Hao and asked solemnly, "Hello! Digolal is at your service! Do you need any help?"
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "I want to open a personal account!" In addition, what is the exchange rate between RMB and Jin Galleon?"
The goblin named Digolar groaned, "One gold galleon can be exchanged for seventy RMB, do you need to exchange it? ”
Zhang Hao took out the Hogwarts admission letter and asked with a smile: "If you want to exchange all the gold gallons from Gringotts, how much RMB do you need?"
Digolar thought that Zhang Hao was joking, and said impatiently: "Sir, time is money, please take the problem seriously! I want to tell you, no one can exchange all the gold galleons in Gringotts! That is a wealth that you can't imagine in your life!"
"Really?" Zhang Hao said solemnly: "That's great! Please help me exchange a billion gold Galleons!"
One billion gold galleons is equivalent to about 70 billion RMB.
Zhang Hao actually didn't plan to exchange so many gold gallons, and he didn't have so much liquidity, he just didn't like the goblin's attitude.
These goblins only have money in their eyes, and they are simply greedy misers.
They are proud and look down on the poor.
If you don't show them your financial resources, you can't get respect from them at all.
In the wizarding world, you will inevitably have to deal with these goblins.
That's why Zhang Hao said an exaggerated number to deter goblins, which has certain benefits for dealing with in the future.
And he didn't think that Gringotts could come up with a billion gold Galleons, and it was impossible for a wizarding society of 100,000 people in Europe to produce such a huge wealth.
Of course, if the other party can give him a billion gold Galleons in exchange, he should be able to make a deal with his efforts.
After all, although his roots are in China, he also has a large number of industries in Europe, America and other places
The dollar, the euro, and the RMB can be put together, and 70 billion seems to be able to make up.
RMB may not be able to be adjusted, but the dollar is absolutely fine!
It is also a little ashamed to say that at this stage, the Chinese experience has just started, and the people's spending power is not comparable to that of Lao Mei.
Zhang Hao thought that he might not make much money in China, so he set his goal abroad.
He can take out the dollars and pounds in his hand, which is much more than the RMB!
Even if the negotiation is reached this time, he will not be able to exchange it for RMB.
Therefore, it is cost-effective to exchange foreigners' banknotes for gold Galleons!
No matter how Zhang Hao spends it over the years, his money is getting more and more.
But he clearly knew that the bank records only numbers, and gold is the most stable currency. Banknotes, whether RMB or USD, depreciate over time.
Only the gold in the hand will not be frozen, and it can be spent anywhere in the world.
Zhang Hao even planned to make a super large storage space when he could perfectly release the Traceless Stretching Spell, and then carry all the wealth with him.
The others didn't know about Zhang Hao's plan, and they had already opened their mouths wide at the moment. A billion gold Galleons, a number that left their minds blank.
Zhang Qiu knew that Zhang Hao was rich, but he didn't expect him to be so rich. She couldn't help but ask, "Oh my God, my cousin, are you crazy? Are you serious?"
Harry looked up at Hagrid and asked blankly, "How many pounds is a billion gold gallons?"
Hagrid was at a loss and said, "Oh, I don't know much about Muggle algorithms, and I don't know how much the other billion is, maybe, you can ask Dumbledore!"
The goblins behind the counter were also stunned, and almost everyone's eyes were attracted by Zhang Hao. They are naturally obsessed with wealth and are sensitive to astronomical numbers.
So although they seemed to be busy with their own things, as soon as they heard the words billion gold gallons, they immediately turned their heads.
Digolal stood up for the first time, he looked down at Zhang Hao from above, and asked solemnly: "One billion gold galleons is equivalent to RMB 70 billion, and it will take more than five billion to convert it into pounds." Do you really want to exchange it? Do you have enough money?
Everyone looked at Zhang Hao, and the eyes of these people were suspicious. If he can't produce proof of his fortune, then what happens here will be a farce.
At that time, the headline of tomorrow's Daily Prophet may appear like this:
A new Hogwarts freshman sensationalized and threatened to exchange a billion gold Galleons!
Zhang Hao didn't care about other people's eyes, he indifferently took out a business card and handed it to Digoral behind the counter. Then he said calmly: "You must have a way to verify my identity, please hurry up!"
