The Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts is always up for business

0229 Heart

After the family dinner, under Draco's somewhat disappointed eyes, the two walked into the reception room.

"To be honest, Breath of Nature has no intention of continuing to expand domestic investment for the time being. I think Ms. Capet has already expressed her intention. I wonder how Mr. Malfoy wants to cooperate?"

After sitting on the sofa, Aini got straight to the point.

"I did communicate with Ms. Capet several times, and I also know that Breath of Nature has no intention of developing in England."

Lucius took out a bottle of Madeira wine from the wine cabinet, poured half a glass for each of them, and then continued:

"The Malfoy family hopes to use Breath of Nature's channel in Europe to purchase some properties. Of course, we will pay enough commission, or if you accept it, I can exchange it with British local properties and help you get through the relevant links. "

As a family that has continued from ancient times to the present, it has already woven an intricate network of relationships in England. The industry under its name involves almost all businesses in England, factories, stores, and raw material output. If you draw a schematic diagram centered on Malfoy, then It will be a huge tentacle monster.

"make a deal."

Aini picked up the wine glass and touched Lucius lightly. Since the other party was so straightforward, he didn't need his mother-in-law to appear too unhappy.

"We will finalize the framework of cooperation in a while, and then Ms. Cape will draw up the specific terms. To be honest, I am not familiar with the company's business now. You know, places like schools always make people feel empty-headed. Spend all your time acquiring knowledge."

Hearing Aini's college-style humor, Lucius laughed awkwardly. He spent his school time making friends, whether they were men or women.

When he was young, he also dreamed of those legendary great wizards, but the joys and sorrows of people are not the same, and the talents of people are also different. When Lucius realized the gap between himself and the strong, he decisively took the Focus on areas where he is better at.

As a middle-aged man, with a base of knowledge hidden in the family, Lucius' strength is not bad, and Alastor Moody may not be able to take him down easily if he is really the benchmark among Aurors.

But that's all, there is still a gap between excellence and greatness that is almost hopeless to bridge with his talent.The difference between a wizard and a great wizard is a world of difference.

But on the other hand, he made the family's relationship network more stable. After Voldemort's downfall, those brave and ruthless juniors almost did not end well, and he took care of the relevant personnel without much effort. Not only did he avoid later liquidation, but also Saved many people.

In the more than ten years since the end of the war, he has become more proficient in the way of binding interests, so proficient that even if the Dark Lord returns, he must give the Malfoy family a way out.

However, his behavior after Voldemort's disappearance can be called betrayal. It is conceivable that this way of life must not be easy, so if possible, Lucius must arrange a retreat for the family, and overseas is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, the interest groups in each country are based on an extremely xenophobic circle. As wizards around the world communicate more frequently, regional relations have become a natural bond, closely linking families of the same country and the same culture, and erecting An impregnable wall against foreign invasion.

Various geographical circles are somewhat inclusive of the investment in "small troubles" such as opening a store. Big capitals such as the Malfoy family are their main targets of defense.

There's only so much cake after all, and a big spoon will scoop up the stingy benefits, especially since Brits don't have a good reputation for it.

While the Muggles were extolling the prestige of the empire on which the sun never sets, the British wizarding world was targeted for it. The Ministry of Magic of some countries even issued special regulations prohibiting British wizards from doing business and investing locally.

Although the situation has eased, Lucius still can't find a stable investment channel. It's not that the Malfoy family has no overseas relations for many years, it's just that they don't have a solid enough interest network in a foreign country.

If they are forced to give up their British industries and go into exile overseas, then without the support of the ontology, their remaining wealth and capital will be swallowed up by the same kind in other countries.

As for the exchange of industries with other countries, it is not considered. For any geographical circle, "leading wolves into the house" is a big taboo. If someone does this, it will definitely become a target of public criticism.

However, there are always exceptions to everything. The Scamanders of all generations have a restless temperament and are very good at communicating with animals.

Newt's traveling around the world was not just about hanging out. He could solve some problems that were difficult for others to solve.

Today, wizards have established an absolute advantage in the magic world, but this advantage comes more from overall strength. Some magical creatures with strong individuals or strange abilities will still cause big trouble.

From time to time, there will be things like [Shock! XXX Creature Appears in XXX, XX Ministry of Magic is in a state of desperation and helpless】This kind of news hit the headlines of the newspapers. Like the Muggle regime, the wizarding country is also divided into strengths and weaknesses. bit.

Regions without the protection of top powerhouses, and whose overall level is not up to the standard, often do not have the strength to make a final decision when facing a crisis.

Of course, they can apply for international aid, but there are two common sayings that can well explain the concerns of those who ask for aid-the first sentence is "There is no free lunch in the world", and the second sentence is "It is easy to ask God to give God away".

At this time, Scamanders, who like to go around the world and deal with magical creatures with ease, will always receive invitations from old friends.

Especially dealing with magical animals is what the Scamanders are interested in. Solving those difficult problems is the best entertainment for them, and they never care about the rewards.

There is no disadvantage in giving up asking for more wealth. For the family, favor and reputation are the greater benefits.

Because of this, the Scamander family has "access rights" in many countries and can set foot in local capital without being excluded.

Without this invisible convenience, the breath of nature would not be able to develop to the present level.

Of course, everything should be done in moderation. Under Capet's control, Breath of Nature has been deliberately controlling its development in a separate area, trying to avoid its already huge size from touching the sensitive nerves of local forces.

When cooperating with the Malfoy family in the future, Aini will only replace the existing properties and will not seize more shares locally.

This geopolitical rule is also one of the reasons why Lucius invested in Breath of Nature. The Scamander family is originally a local, and the Malfoy family will not be isolated by other families after giving up their property.

Also limited by the rules, no matter whether he left the British magic world or not, Lucius could not act in the name of the Malfoy family overseas, and had to hide himself under the banner of Breath of Nature.

It's not so much a cooperation, it's more like a tactful contribution. It seems that Lucius has already noticed something, so he will find a way out for the family no matter the cost.

But it is conceivable that once they leave England, the Malfoy family will be sheltered under the wings of the breath of nature, and their influence and prestige will inevitably be greatly affected.

Lucius would not have made such a choice two years ago, because at that time he could only carry the family's honor on his back alone, but now it is different. Draco's growth after entering school surprised him, and he also saw another possibility .

He wants to put his son's safety first, which is his heart as a father.
