The arrest of the famous Grindelwald in the United States immediately made the front page headlines of mainstream wizard newspapers such as the New York Ghost, the British Daily Prophet, the French Daily News, and the German Daily News.

Newt causes Frank the Thunderbird to rain down, mixing the venom of the Curled Winged Demon into the rain to wash away the bad memories of New Yorkers.

The Aurors set out to repair the ruined city, and the dark clouds over the wizarding world and No-Maj society lifted, and a war disappeared.

As the heroes of the defeat of Grindelwald, Newt, Tina, Queenie, and Hu Qing are under special care from the Magic Congress.

Lady Piquelli asked a healer to treat the four of them, ordered Tina's position as an Auror, and promised Newt to sign an order to protect North American magical beasts next year.

As for Hu Qing, he was granted permission to enter and exit the library of the Magical Congress at will, but he was not allowed to read some confidential information, and his actions were monitored by the staff of the Magical Congress.

Queenie rejected Ms. Piquelli's offer and resolutely quit her job as a copywriter in the Wand Licensing Office to become an unemployed wizard, which touched Hu Qing's heart.

……

Near noon, Queenie and Hu Qing walked out of the elevator of the Magic Congress, and Queenie saw that the magic exposure threat level clock pointed to medium threat, and said briskly: "You must have a good celebration, but unfortunately Tina and Newt don't go home at noon." ”

"With me, we both celebrate, my dear, you go back and make food, and I'll talk to Mr. Jonkel about something, and I'll be back soon."

Queenie kissed him and said tenderly, "I'll wait for you to come back, don't be too late, dear." ”

"Hmm."

Seeing her leave, Hu Qing ignored a pair of envious, jealous and hateful eyes and walked to the corner of the congress hall.

Johannes Jonker, a bespectacled, somewhat hunchbacked wandmaker, polishes his wand. The dust was rising, and he was disgraced and embarrassed.

"Mr. Jonker." Hu Qing greeted with a smile on his face,

Jonkel glanced up at him and said, "I'm not welcome to you, and I won't sell you the wand I made, so let's go." ”

"It's just a junk wand!"

"Then give me back ......"

Hu Qing shook his head, "I think you have misunderstood, Mr. Jonker, I didn't come to you to return the wand, it was already mine." ”

"In that case, I shouldn't be able to help you, leave." Jonkel directly ordered the eviction, apparently still angry that Hu Qing threatened him to take away his wand.

Hu Qing was not verbose, "Two things, first, I want Mr. Jonkel to tell me if there is any poplar wood left to make that scrap wand. ”

Jonkel looked wary, "You don't want to hit the wand wood......"

"I don't want to, Mr. Jonker." Hu Qing showed a regretful expression, facing the congress hall, his mouth was wide open, and the voice he roared out must be loud and piercing, so that everyone could hear it.

"Wait." Jonkel put down his wand, stood up with a dejected expression, and said, "No, not at all, I told you, in order to make a Dementor Bone Wand Core, I tried a lot of wand wood, and only that one could be fused with the wand core. ”

Hu Qing was a little disappointed, and took out 50 Zhuo pots from the damaged coat pocket and stuffed them into Jonkel's hand, "The second thing, I want to learn how to make magic wands with you, this is the tuition fee." ”

"What?" Jonkel showed a stunned look, and then refused unkindly, "You can't learn, and I won't teach you." ”

"Mr. Jonkel, I am not pleading with you, but informing you that I am going to learn from you how to make wands, and you have to teach it, and you have to teach it if you don't teach it, and there is no room for choice and refusal. I'll come to you early tomorrow morning, goodbye. ”

Hu Qing walked away, and Jonkel was so angry that he scolded, "Bastard little ghost, Jonkel is not threatened by anyone." ”

After half a ring, he counted the Zhuo pots in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face, "50 Zhuo pots, generous enough, what an interesting little guy." ”

……

Walking out of the Woolworth Building, Hu Qing did not immediately go back to the apartment, and went straight to the Xiao Newspaper Building.

The apartment rented by the Goldstein sisters was too small, and it was very inconvenient for him to practice, and he needed more space to be able to practice Dao as he wanted.

In the 1920s, the U.S. economy developed and real estate soared. The countryside and small towns are better, the houses in the big cities are even fried, and the ordinary rent has risen to an incredible height.

Hu Qing was very poor and couldn't afford to buy a house, so he had to think of some other ways. For example, control a super-rich person, preferably a business tycoon, because he constantly creates value.

However, many well-known companies in the United States have cross-shareholding by large consortia, and the share structure is complicated, and his strength is not enough to deal with everything.

Choosing someone is quite important!

As it happens, Henry Sr. Shaw came into his sight, an American newspaper tycoon who controlled several newspapers and ran a publishing house. Shaw's Newspaper was founded by Henry Sr., who owns 100 percent of the shares, and controlling Henry Sr. is equivalent to controlling the entire Shaw Newspaper.

Taking money from him is much safer than stealing and robbing banks, and it is also convenient for Hu Qing's next plan.

Two or three years later, the U.S. stock market crashed and the economic crisis swept the world, and with foresight, he could manipulate Shaw's newspaper to make a fortune, and then there would be no shortage of money.

Hu Qing doesn't understand stocks, but he knows a big guy who understands - Jesse Livermore.

This gentleman is a legendary figure, a well-known speculator in the US stock market. In the 1929 stock market crash, he made $100 million by shorting U.S. stocks, Nima, and at this time the U.S. tax revenue was only billions of dollars, and finally the U.S. government begged him not to be short.

The funds of Shaw's Newspaper, coupled with the bigwig Jesse Livermore, are sure to make a lot of money, and the source is right, which greatly reduces the risk.

The only uncertain factor is whether the historical process of this world will be similar to that of Hu Qing's world.

Of course, even if it is different, it is imperative to control the old Henry, Hu Qing needs money, and it is difficult to move an inch without money!

……

The Shaw Newspaper Building is located in one of the more prosperous areas of New York, so just ask around.

When you step out of the elevator, you will see a spacious and elegant office, where hundreds of reporters are busy and working in an orderly manner.

"Hello, sir, is there anything you can do?" Old Henry's assistant Buckle walked over and asked.

"When he heard that Mr. Xiao's son was assassinated, he must have been very sad and couldn't wait to find the murderer and punish him severely, didn't he?"

"You ......"

Hu Qing said calmly: "I happen to have some clues, what Mr. Xiao is interested in, let's talk about it first, I want a very high price......
