Chapter 8: Clark's Business History
As soon as Clark's words came out, it was like a shock, and everyone present was scorched.
Even Elijah, who seems to have a city in his heart?? Yaxley's eyes widened. The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine was being sold in Clark's gourd.
I've never heard of people who don't want to work and spend less, but this is the first time I've seen someone who not only rushes to spend more money to work for others, but also looks for other people's money.
Theodore?? Abbot asked uncertainly.
"Little Clark, are you telling the truth? We're definitely not going to let you pay for it, really, you don't have to say anything like that. β
Clark looked at Elijah again?? Darren of Yaxley?? The two Bocks, seeing that they didn't say a word or answer the conversation, knew that what Theodore said was not counting, so they waved their hands and said.
"Don't! Other! Other! Uncle Theodore, don't rob me of this kind of money, what I'm saying is true. β
The more he said this, the more curious Theodore became, and chased after him to continue asking.
"This ...... Clark, you've suffered too much, if you don't make it clear and spread the word, outsiders will think that we, who are uncles and uncles, are bullying you as a child. β
Elijah?? Yaxley nodded at this time, "Yes, you yourself said that you should follow the rules when doing things, and if you don't make this matter clear, we can't rest assured." β
Seeing that the fish was hooked, the corners of Clark's mouth curled slightly.
"Actually, this matter, because my recent career has developed too fast, and my family is short of money turnover, so I am ready to package the construction of the dragon farm as a whole and make it a star project, and then raise funds to build it."
"Fundraising?"
Theodore's eyes widened again, the most old antiques of the wizarding world, they had never heard of this kind of financial means in the Muggle world.
"Yes, it's fundraising, that is, borrowing money."
Speaking of which, Clark stopped talking again, and Theodore's heart itched, urging him to tell him what kind of operation this fundraising is.
Clark smiled, as if he wasn't worried that they would kick themselves away if they knew how to do it, and explained to the three of them.
"In this project, there has never been a saying that the owner pays for the construction by himself. As the most famous magic school in Britain and even in the whole of Europe, Hogwarts has a high reputation, and with the school's endorsement, it can completely package the dragon farm as a star industrial real estate project.
I've thought of a name, it's called Hogwarts Dragon Industrial Park, not only to build a dragon farm, but also to enclose other forbidden forest lands around the dragon farm, and connect it with Hogwarts Castle.
Then, relying on the dragon resources of the dragon farm, all the greenhouses where the school grows herbs were moved, and several supporting potions refining factories and alchemy props production factories were built to form a complete set of industrial chains to maximize the use of resources. β
"This ...... Takes a lot of money, right? "Theodore?? Abbot hesitated. "Hearing you say this, even if it's 10,000 gold galleons, I'm afraid I can't stop it!"
Clark glanced at him, "That's why we need to raise money!" β
"There are no large investment channels in the wizarding world, even Gringotts, which does not give interest, but charges us a custodian fee.
Except for some pure-blood wizard families who have their own small circles that can scrape together money to do some business, most middle-class wizard families can only spend money to put Jin Jialong in Gringotts and pile it up, which is really a waste.
After taking the Dragon Industrial Park, I could have set up a real estate development company, issue bonds in the name of the company with a yield of 4% per year, and start selling those bonds to wizarding families across the country.
When the money is in hand, you can start using the money to build the Fire Dragon Industrial Park.
I can also divide the entire industrial park into three phases, each issue can issue a bond, the industrial park can also attract investment, the middle of the industrial chain will need a lot of supporting factories, the whole industrial park is fully equipped, there will be some businessmen who fancy the business opportunities here. β
Theodore nodded again and again, thinking that if there really was such a fire dragon industrial park at that time, their family's magic herb plantation could also be moved over.
After all, next to the Fire Dragon Pavilion, there is definitely no shortage of dragon manure fertilizer, and if it is closer, maybe the price will be cheaper.
And Clark became more and more excited the more he talked.
"After the industrial park and factory are completed, there will be more workers here, and some people will have greater business opportunities, forming an agglomeration effect, and there will be demand for accommodation, catering and consumption.
The largest gathering of wizards around Hogwarts is Hogsmeade Village, which I have also inspected, and there are all old buildings from hundreds of years ago, and there are only one or two taverns in the whole village, and a few candy and toy shops for Hogwarts students to buy, which should have been eliminated a long time ago. β
With a wave of his hand, Clark stood up straight from his seat.
"I'll do it instead, when the industrial park is completed and the factory is settled, I will set aside a piece of land on the edge of the industrial park to build a house and create a new wizard community.
You have to choose the best prime location, on the edge of the Black Lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a wide view, you have to build the highest-grade townhouse and hire a senior Muggle architect to design it!
Floo network directly into the house, the smallest unit has to be 100 square meters, the decoration of the house should be the most luxurious, what magic kitchenware, Persian magic carpet, constant temperature room, can get all for it.
Upstairs there is a garden, there is a swimming pool in the building, and there is a house-elf butler at the door, the kind of gentleman in a wig.
As soon as the owner enters the door, he has to tell people if he has anything to do: May I help you, Sir? An authentic British London accent, full of pure-blooded fan, and has a lot of face.
Another wizarding elementary school will be built in the community, and the teaching materials will be Hogwarts, what is this called? This is called a high-end school district room, surrounded by two schools, so that your child can win at the starting line.
Build another private clinic and see it 24 hours a day, just one word: convenient!
If you fall into the dark arts, you don't need to go to St. Mungo's Hospital in London, with the technical support of Hogwarts, you can solve it nearby.
The neighbors around you are either Ministry of Magic officials, Hogwarts professors, or executives of large companies, and if you don't have a serious job, you're too embarrassed to say hello!
When the houses are full, there will be another luxurious commercial shopping area on the edge of the community, with straight streets and flower beds and fountains, which will benchmark the Champs-ElysΓ©es Magic Avenue in the French wizarding world, and compare the winding, narrow, dilapidated Diagon Alley.
Who makes the best money in this world, the best money for children and women, and on the side of the shopping street is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so many half-sized children, who used to go to Hogsmeade, now have a new choice, and don't worry about having no business.
You can say, how much does an apartment in such an upscale wizarding community close to Hogwarts cost to sell for one square meter? β
