Chapter 13 The Third Transaction

In the bright moonlight, the conversation in the box continued, but even through a door, there was not the slightest sound of talking, only a faint hum, and there were still people in the bedroom.

"The question now is what to exchange for gold. It's better not to have rubies, they seem to be in a hurry, so don't trade rubies with them until you have to, and find a new commodity. Realizing that the situation might be urgent, Jack showed a very different kind of calm than usual.

He held a white porcelain cup, played with it in his hand, slowly sorted out his thoughts, and after analyzing the existing situation, he said: "The Muggle side of the capital conversion, you can open a company, find a professional manager, can do better than us, the only problem is the source of gold." ”

"It's a problem, we don't know what the goblins need, and we don't even know, why do they need rubies?" Seamus sat at the table, 10-year-old sitting in a chair with his feet touching the ground, but his expression and eyes showed a mature look.

Since Seamus was reborn, except for the first two days, his performance after that was completely different from the original Seamus, much more mature and stable than before.

Daisy thought in her heart that maybe the future he saw was too heavy, so he matured overnight, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, thinking of this, she said, "I'll go to Gringotts tomorrow and ask what those goblins need?"

"I'll go with me and talk to them about the last deal. Seamus followed.

After saying that, the whole room fell silent again, the three of them were eating, and the atmosphere changed from the cheerfulness when they first came in, to the silence of the three of them having each other's thoughts.

"I'll be here today, go back and rest first, and tomorrow you will go to Gringotts together, and it just so happens that Lupin won't be here tomorrow, so you don't have to study magic. Jack said when he saw that several people were full, he stood up and said to Daisy, "Tomorrow I will go and register a company, hire a professional manager, and help us deal with the gold, you remember that this transaction does not need gold Galleons, it is better to exchange it directly for gold, so that there is no need to process it again." ”

After that, the three of them walked out of the private room, and Daisy waved her wand to undo the earplug listening spell.

......

Early the next morning, Jack was out the door, and Daisy and Seamus had changed into wizards' robes and were ready to go to Gringotts.

"Grab my hand. Daisy said with a hand outstretched.

With a bang in the air, the two disappeared in place, Seamus had already experienced multiple apparitions, and he would not be as uncomfortable as he was at the beginning, and even wanted to vomit.

This time they appear directly inside the Leaky Cauldron, and Seamus says hello to Tom, the owner of the bar, "Good morning, Tom." ”

"Good morning, come to Diagon Alley again. Tom responded familiarly.

He'd been here many times, and the bar owner was already familiar with what he looked like, not to mention that there weren't many customers every day, most of them just borrowed this place to enter Diagon Alley.

After saying hello, they walked into the bar's backyard, where Seamus stretched out his wand and knocked on the red brick wall, and the entrance opened. The winding cobblestone path reappeared in front of them, Diagon Alley was actually not big, there were only a few dozen shops, but it was still the most prosperous place in the wizarding world.

There were still as many people on the street as ever, and there was a sign hanging in front of the medicinal herb store with the price of today's medicinal herbs. In the window of the broomstick store, there is a new product launched by the light wheel company this year, the light wheel 1999, and as usual, there is a group of little wizards around the window. Today's Ollivander is not as deserted as he was when he first came, and young wizards are coming in one after another to pick out wands.

"Let's go, you can have a good walk later, do you want an owl, or do you want a broom?" Daisy took his hand and led him towards Gringotts.

"I don't want a broomstick, because I don't need it now, and the owl doesn't need it, so I'd wait until school. Seamus withdrew his eyes looking around, and although he looked like he was only 10 years old, he was actually past the age of playfulness.

The two walked into Gringotts, and the goblins they had met the first two times were sitting behind the counter, busy counting the ledgers, and Seamus saw him, "Ledin, are you free now?"

Hearing someone call his name, Reding hurriedly looked up, saw Seamus, jumped out directly from behind the counter, ran to Seamus with two small short legs, and said in his mouth: "I'm free, I'll be free as long as you come." ”

Seamus and Daisy looked at each other, clearly sensing that something was wrong, that the elves were too enthusiastic, and it seemed that the ruby was really important to them. Jack's analysis at the time was right, and he must no longer trade rubies unless he has to. Although I don't know why they want rubies so much, it is obviously not so simple behind this, to put it bluntly, the needs of the two parties are completely unequal.

"Find a place to sit and talk. Daisy took the elf's words, and she wanted to do more to take some of the pressure off her husband and son. Seeing that Seamus seemed to have grown up and matured overnight, Jack was not as happy as before, and always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"No problem, come with me, it's the same place as last time. Ryding ran up to them, turned to lead them in the way, and beads of sweat appeared on the outside of his white-haired ears.

They sat down in the reception room, and Daisy said straight to the point, "We need some gold, and we don't know what we can exchange it for." ”

Seamus sat next to her like a good child, as if none of this had anything to do with him, and he had only come this time to ask why the elves needed rubies. Because no matter what he thinks, he doesn't remember the plot related to it in his previous life, and for a time-traveler who is familiar with the plot, the change of plot is extremely fatal.

"Don't be in a hurry, start with a cup of coffee, these are the best coffee beans, we shipped them from South America. Ledeen poured them two cups of coffee before pouring himself one.

"I don't know if there is a ruby from the last time, we can still exchange it extra. ”

Sure enough, their first thought was to get rubies in exchange, but this time they couldn't work out anyway.

"I'm sorry, there aren't many rubies in the Muggle world, especially if you need the best of the best. "Before coming, Daisy had told Seamus not to be deceived by these goblins, they didn't know as much about the Muggle world as most wizards. They don't know at all what the Muggle world has, how much it has, how much it costs, and that's their biggest advantage.

"It doesn't matter, the price can be negotiated, as long as the quality of the ruby remains the same. Ledeen also thought they wanted a higher price and was ready to test their psyche.

"It's really gone, the entire European market, there's only so much output every month, you still have to think about what else you can exchange. Daisy didn't hesitate to reject it, because after yesterday's discussion, they felt that there must be something behind it.

"Is there really none?" Ledeen was still a little unwilling.

"None"

After being decisively refused, Reding looked a little anxious, rubbed his hands restlessly, and after thinking for a long time, said, "I'll go and ask if there is anything else to exchange, please wait a moment." ”

With that, it walked out of the drawing-room, and Daisy turned back and said, "Seamus, why, I have not found any way to use the ruby, except to set it in the crown." ”

"We all know there's a problem behind this, but the problem is that we don't know anything. Seamus also fell into deep thought.

"And if they need something else, to change it or not to change it?" Daisy was thinking about what to do with the next deal.

Seamus thought for a moment, "If you need a lot of things, you can change them, and if it's something similar to rubies, we'll think of another way." ”

Daisy wanted to say something more, but at this time, the door to the conference room opened again, and she quickly shut up.

"Two distinguished guests, we just discussed that we can exchange gold for various metal materials with you, I wonder if it is feasible?" said to Ledin with a smile, but this time the smile was more professional, not as urgent as just now.

They looked at each other, and Seamus nodded slowly, believing that the deal was viable.

"I don't know what price you're willing to pay in exchange. "It's still Daisy and Redding discussing.

"Of course, we are very sincere and willing to buy it at twice the market price, but we need a lot of it, and I don't know if you can make this request. Ledeen expressed confidence in his financial prowess, as if price was not an issue.

......

After a long day of arguing, they were finally ready to sign a contract, negotiating the price of various metals and the amount that they needed to provide each month. At the same time, this transaction is all exchanged for gold.

At this moment, Reding snapped his fingers and dropped a key from the air, Reding took the key and handed it to Daisy, "We have opened an underground vault for you for free, and you will enjoy it for free forever." At the same time, there is a small gift in it, as if this is a congratulatory gift for a successful transaction, there is only a small request, that is, about these transactions, neither of us can disclose the contents. ”

Daisy took the key and wondered what it said, "But what if someone else knows about it?"

"Rest assured, after signing this contract, only the three of us will be able to know the contents, and everyone else will lose the relevant memories, this is the power of the contract. Reding was smiling at first, but in the end, there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

With one last request, the three of them signed the contract.

"Well, happy cooperation!" said Ledin, who had already regained his smile on his face.

"Happy working together!"
