Chapter 46: The Face of the Daomen
Although the Regulations on the Administration of East-West Trade (Provisional) have been promulgated, they have not yet been formally implemented.
Zhang Chengdao took out a bag of fried charred and crunchy melon seeds from his pocket, and gave a small handful to his wife, although it was still in a chatty tone.
But with three points of seriousness:
"Xiaoxiao, you analyze the whole thing for me and your mother, and your solution."
Seeing that her husband was preparing to teach her son, Li Qingshu was not ready to participate in the meeting, but just smiled on the side and listened quietly.
Before, because of the ban of the Heavenly Master, they did not reveal their identities to their sons, and only regarded themselves as ordinary people, except for teaching the children Huaxia textbooks at the same time.
Nothing else interfered, allowing Zhang Xiao to spend 10 years happily.
But during the summer vacation, Longhu Mountain and his party experienced the award, and Longhu Mountain and Daomen almost acquiesced to Zhang Xiao's status as a small celestial master.
At the age of 13, he awarded 7 grades, cultivated both things and things, and was inclusive, showing the way of Fu a road that had never been seen before.
Heavenly Master, the stronger the better!
It is best that all generations of heavenly masters can overwhelm the world and sweep away all the ghosts, snakes, and gods!
So now it's different, experience can be accumulated slowly over time, but the way of thinking and the height of standing must also be raised.
Zhang Xiao thought for a while, organized the language, and said his thoughts:
"The first is the way the news was released, which is Cornelius Fudge trying to see how much resistance is on our side.
If we back down, he'll have to take an inch, turning a 'possible' Ministry of Magic franchise into a 'certain'. ”
Zhang Chengdao smiled and continued to ask;
"Then why did Cornelius Fudge dare do that?"
"If it's just Cornelius Fudge alone, he wouldn't dare, this piece of meat is too big, and Fudge is looking for death if he wants to eat it himself, unless he is not the Minister of Magic, but the Emperor of Magic.
So there must be a group of forces behind him - I think it's definitely those extreme purebloods. ”
Zhang Xiao paused at this point and slowly added:
In fact, the Ministry of Magic and Fudge also know that the trade between the East and the West cannot be banned, because of magic, it is too easy to smuggle, but with this "trade ban" on the surface, it is equivalent to having a nominal excuse.
They can always search anyone under the pretext of finding goods from the East. ”
Zhang Chengdao nodded slightly:
"That's right, the British wizarding world is now complicated, it seems to be calm, but in fact it is an undercurrent, the place is not big, just suitable for you to learn something, compared to the hometown is a lot simpler.
So what are you going to do about it?
Those purebloods and Lucius have been waiting for you to hear back. ”
Zhang Xiao suppressed the excitement in her heart, and when she asked herself before, she thought she was just trying to make herself think about it.
Unexpectedly, my father meant to implement it according to his own ideas, this is the biggest thing in Britain recently, countless people, families, and even the Ministry of Magic are waiting for their voices.
My voice is the decision of the Daomen!
"We can place the transaction in Xiangjiang and turn Xiangjiang into an offshore settlement center, just have a place where both parties can trade, and those raw materials can be processed directly there, and the goods brought can also be delivered directly.
”
This is the first time that Zhang Xiao has the right to decide such a major matter, so he said it very carefully, and even completely said how he thought about it.
Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu just listened with a smile.
"Dad, Mom, that's what I think."
Zhang Xiao only felt that her mouth was dry, and she drank it all when she picked up the wine glass.
"Not bad." Zhang Chengdao nodded slowly, seeing him like this, Zhang Xiao's heart chuckled, because every time my father said this, it meant that he didn't think about other important things.
Sure enough, Zhang Chengdao said softly:
"Xiaoxiao, you have thought it through, but you have only overlooked one thing."
His face was serious:
"That's the face of the Daomen?"
The face of the door?
"Lucius always thought that our Daomen also coveted the huge profits of trade between the East and the West, but in fact we never wanted to engage in any trade, Xiaoxiao, you can indeed circumvent the control of the Ministry of Magic by doing this.
But it makes people in England think that we can't trade, and you know, some people do irrational things when they don't know where they are.
The Ministry of Magic also thinks we want to make this money, too.
Believe it or not, once we agree to do business with the Ministry of Magic, they will immediately turn against us, leaving us with only a small percentage of the profits. ”
Zhang Chengdao paused and continued:
"Xiaoxiao, the reason why we are doing this trade is to give you enough say, not profit.
Caring too much about trade itself is putting the cart before the horse, and we need to let them know that it's not us asking purebloods to trade, it's them asking us!
The initiative has always been in our own hands. ”
What Dad said makes sense! How did I not think of that? Is this the pattern of the Young Heavenly Master?
"Xiaoxiao, so what are you going to do now?"
After the education was over, Zhang Chengdao asked again.
Zhang Xiao closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and said seriously:
"After the trade between things has stopped, it shouldn't be us who are in a hurry, let the pure-bloods and the Ministry of Magic who want to continue know that the right to decide the trade is never with them.
It's me with us.
Galleons that were taken without paying, without bleeding - not worth much! ”
A smile appeared on the faces of Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu:
"Just do as you say!"
The little wizards happily returned to the Three Broomsticks with their big bags of things, Sirius was indeed generous, as long as he noticed that the little wizards showed extraordinary attention and desire for something.
The bold young master Black will pay the bill immediately, and to him this kind of gadget worth one or two Galleons is not much money (come on, it's only one Galleon, I see one or two Galleons on the ground, and I don't want to bend down to pick it up).
Ron was holding a full load of gifts, happy that even the little freckles on his face were shining, he buried his face in the gifts, and said enviously to Harry:
"Sirius is the best godfather in the world!
Why don't I have such a good godfather? Think about it, the Godfather can buy you anything if you want!
O Merlin! “
He stood up, raised his arms, and rested on the pillar beside him, learning Sirius's tone:
"Oh? Harry, do you like this?
Shop assistant! Help me wrap this, what style?
All! Yes, you heard it right, all styles! ”
He looked fiery once again at Harry's complete set of English Quidditch national team dolls, the size of a palm, lying in a box.
But once you open the box, the huge wooden box transforms into a pocket-sized Quidditch pitch, and the dolls ride on broomsticks and practice classic tactics on the pitch.
Worth 180 Galleons!
Hermione was carrying a cage with a chirping owl inside.
As a general rule, you can only bring one pet in the school, but in practice, no one will say anything if you bring one more.
She teased the owl happily: "So that I can write to my father and mother whenever I want, without going to the owl tower, which is too far away." ”
Malfoy's face was a little strange, and he was also not short of money, so he was far less touched by receiving the gift than Ron, but a little unhappy.
Ever since he heard that Granger wanted an owl before school started, he started planning to give one for Christmas.
Now Sirius has sent it in advance, so what will I send?
As for Sirius, after sending the little wizard over, he couldn't wait to go to the pig's head bar, where he made an appointment with Lupin to have a drink.
By the way, if it turned out to be dark magic like a curse, Sirius was ready to highly recommend him to give his blood a try.
