Chapter 678: Green, Green!
“...... All in all, thank you very much for supporting my proposal, Mr. President!"
Elena put away the parchment contract she had signed on the table and said happily.
"I have estimated that the minimum number of people required for the current business scope is about 10 to 15 people, and since the work of each association has not yet been officially launched, the actual situation is still uncertain - in my opinion, it is better to separate the middle level of the four associations from the beginning, and not to have too many people in the same position at multiple positions. ”
There is a huge gap in the wizarding world in terms of the system of industry, and it can almost be said that it is in a state of complete barbarism.
However, in the initial stage, Elena did not plan to completely put the framework in place all at once.
On the one hand, this is because the system of the non-magical world is applied to the magical world, and it still takes a lot of time and practice to test and correct it in terms of feasibility and specific details, and on the other hand, the primitive accumulation of capital will eventually be a bit bloody.
In the face of such a completely undefended blank field, it is the most correct way to seize market share first, use the gap where the rules have not yet been established to make the snowball quickly grow into an unstoppable avalanche, and then formulate rules in turn to clarify the boundaries of the norms of various behaviors - but most of the rules will be slowly improved after discovering the inappropriateness.
Whether it's a Quidditch match or a field of study, it's all the same.
"The Fantastic Beasts Protection Society, the Fantastic Beasts Society, the Fantastic Beasts Product Safety Regulation Association, and the Fantastic Beasts Council, a total of four organizations, respectively involved in nature conservation, academic research, commercial development, and political response.
Elena wrenched her fingers and patiently explained one by one.
"Given that industry norms haven't been established yet, and social acceptance will take some time to ferment, your next focus will be on the first two, which is what you're good at. As for the remaining two, leave it to me and Professor Dumbledore for the time being, the normative aspects of the commercial market need to be legislated, and legislation needs to be pulled with the Ministries of Magic of various countries......"
“......”
Newt Scamander's lips twitched, and he stopped talking.
In fact, he actually saw the cattiness hidden in the part that the girl didn't finish.
The real subtleties are commercialization and politics!
No matter what the world, economic interests are always the most dangerous piece of the pie.
In particular, it is even more difficult to try to make rules for cutting cakes, and to negotiate with so many different countries and regions of the Ministry of Magic to make them willing to support such a seemingly thankless public service!
Even Albus Dumbledore, after leaving Europe, may not have had that much influence.
But after a little hesitation, Newt didn't say it.
Anyway, these are all things that Elena Kaslana needs to consider, and for him, it is enough to get enough support from Gringotts and the wizarding world, and have the resources to further promote the protection of magical beasts, as well as research.
Besides, if his hint made the little witch realize something in advance, it might have the opposite effect.
In Newt Scamander's opinion, Elena is a little unsettling with her radical and forward-thinking ideas, but the officials of the Ministry of Magic, who frequently prevaricate and play officialdom, are not a vulnerable group worthy of sympathy and protection, so let the two fight.
"The eight-eyed giant spider breeding base and the fire dragon sanctuary are too conspicuous, you should start from some inconspicuous places, do you think the edible value of the dwarf pig monster is higher, or is the commercial value of the deformed lizard easy to cut into the market point?"
"I don't think it's a good idea, but I wouldn't choose any of them. ”
Newt subconsciously frowned and replied angrily.
"People take food as their day, and physiological needs take precedence over all high-level needs......"
Elena muttered softly to herself, not caring for Newt's resistance.
"Pork, it's not such a strange type of ingredient, there are already quite a few varieties of pork in the world. However, the Fantastic Beast quality pork should still be a little different, the growth environment is in an ordinary pigsty, but there are some changes in the legs and torso of the body, which shows that its domesticability and edibility may be quite high......"
"This dwarf pig monster is very suitable for research as a special product of animal husbandry in the wizarding world!"
Elena can only roughly guess for the time being, as for whether it can be cultivated on a large scale, and whether it is good or not, it depends on the results.
However, from the current point of view, this research material should be more suitable.
At least for both the wizarding world and Newt, studying such a common magical creature as the Phampy Pig Monster without much value or danger would not cause much objection, and they were not cute.
And pork is also quite common on people's tables, even if you know that it is a dwarf pig monster, it is fine.
The only problem is that the piggy monster may not be as easy to drive and keep in captivity......
"From the American countryside, afraid of big white dogs......"
Elena thought thoughtfully, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "The three-headed dog of hell in its adult state should be enough to deter most magical beasts, right? If the piggy monster is even afraid of ordinary white hounds, then let alone Lowe
Newt Scamander's cheek twitched, but he didn't make a sound.
Elena took a closer look at the expression of the Master Fantastic Beast next to her and smiled with satisfaction.
"Then it should be right, magical creatures should be dealt with with magical creatures, and it can be ...... like this"
"No one has ever tried this before......"
Newt Skincomander said sullenly.
When it comes to the domestication of magical beasts, most of them are really not that simple.
However, Elena apparently chose a fairly low difficulty target, and the trouble with the Pegs is mainly due to their destructive power on farms and their speed, which is much more powerful than ordinary domestic pigs in terms of rapid growth and raising.
As an ancient war weapon, the three-headed dog of hell is too easy to deter a group of dwarf pig monsters.
The smile on Elena's face widened.
"Mr. Newt, those North American long-legged pigs you raised...... Hmmm......"
Glancing at Newt's sudden change of color, Elena suddenly changed her words and asked with a chuckle.
"This magical dwarf pig monster should be a magical animal species that is legally sold, right?
"Yes, it does not fall into the category of prohibited transactions. ”
"Since you're so good at Fantastic Beasts, you should know, where to buy a piggyback, right?"
Newt Scamander pursed his lips and turned his gaze, staggering Elena's eyes.
"I don't know, I haven't bought a magical beast in a long time!"
"You're really not good at lying!"
The corners of Elena's mouth were raised, and her eyes flashed with a bewitching cute light.
"Gringotts Wizarding Bank is rich, you know!, but elves are usually rough in their orders, and once the content is released through Gringotts, the number of acquisitions must at least match the bank's identity...... Even if it is the lowest order, at least nearly 100 trading applications will be received, and this disorderly trading market is prone to cause a lot of trouble. ”
Newt Scamander tilted his head slightly.
Elena pricked up her fingers, shook them slightly, and said meaningfully.
"Orders for large-scale acquisitions of magical beasts are not common, and wizards have no way of knowing how orders are being fulfilled, which means that there is a considerable amount of hoarding and waste every time...... For example, if I were to announce that I would buy fifty piggs now, five hundred would probably be caught and sent over, and the remaining four hundred and fifty would be ......."
"Stop!
Newt Scamander exhaled lightly and said in a muffled voice.
"I remember, I have a few friends who work in the Ministry of Magic, and they happen to be in charge of expelling the dwarf pig monsters that appear in the non-magical world, and they should have a lot of information about the dwarf pig monsters there!
He finally sensed the horror of Elena's "power of money".
And, what the girl has been emphasizing before, the safety supervision association of the magical beast product trading market, and the corresponding market rules and structure, where is the significance of improving the structure - a marginally ambiguous market, even if it is a legal transaction, it will become a sin.
He vaguely knew what Elena was about to say.
However, he did not intend to verify it from the girl's mouth once.
Over the years, apart from Gringotts, there have been scattered magical animal acquisitions, whether it's wand shops like Ollivanders, potions material shops in Diagon Alley, or individual wizards who don't have shops.
In the wizarding world, there aren't many opportunities to make extra money.
And hunting those magical beasts that are not dangerous is undoubtedly the safest and fastest way!
After decades of magical animal conservation, Newt initially thought he was just defending himself against poachers, but over time, he realized that what he was fighting was the constant material needs of the wizarding world.
Because of this, Newt retired from the Ministry of Magic in frustration and went into seclusion.
It's just that now Elena's appearance seems to have taken a new turn.
"Gringotts...... Market Surveillance ...... Equilibrium trading ......"
Newt Scamander whispered a repetition of what Elena had just said.
Since it is impossible to completely eliminate and eliminate the human demand for magical beasts, it is better to increase the artificial source of magical beasts on the one hand, and clarify the supply and demand on the other hand, so as to avoid unnecessary overhunting.
It turns out that this is one of the ways to protect magical beasts in the mouth of this half-breed little girl?
Elena glanced at Newt, knowing that her words had worked, and smiled.
"Don't worry, I'm not a wasteful person! I can take as much as I need, which is also a philosophy I follow...... Otherwise, I wouldn't have been the Goblin Empress, right, Gringotts hates waste. ”
Newt Scamander didn't comment, but asked in a deep voice.
"Well, in the ...... of the Piggy Monster Hmm, you won't be going into any other categories until the 'research' is complete?"
"It depends, I can't give you a complete commitment, because if time and energy permit, I might consider working on one or two species at the same time, but I guess for the time being, it's only the dwarf pig monsters for now. ”
Elena shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly.
"I only have that much time in a day, and I have to train with the Quidditch national team during the day, unless I ...... Would you like to help me with this research? After all, Mr. Scamander should be of interest to you......"
"Not at all! I'll have to keep an eye on Fantastic Beasts and Fantastic Beasts. ”
Newt replied without hesitation that he would not do such an abusive thing.
Elena nodded and replied casually, "That's fine, you can change your mind at any time anyway." In the coming period, I would like to ask for your kind attention, Mr. President and President. ”
Grandpa, Mr. Newt...... The name has turned green......
