Chapter 275 Fudge Comes to Vote

It has been a month since Leicester returned to the magic world.

During this month, the wizards in the magic world have accepted the behemoth of the Bader Group.

Now, the broomstick market in the entire magic world has been monopolized by rocket crossbows. As for the other four companies, they can only survive and rely on foreign markets for development.

The Velde rocket crossbow super factory also completed the second expansion of worker recruitment, and once again recruited 500 Muggle wizards who were basically clean.

The pure-blood families in Knockturn Alley also announced their relocation one after another. Headed by the Foley Family, these dark wizard families all moved to Spider's End Alley and established their own forces there.

At this point, Knockturn Alley officially has a new owner, and that is the president of the Wizard Workers' Union, Lester Bader!

In the office on the third floor of the Knockturn Alley trade union, Lester was lying on the boss's chair, looking down at the entire Knockturn Alley through the large French windows.

At this time, the dirty and stinky Knockturn Alley where black wizards gathered had already undergone a major transformation thanks to Lester's efforts.

In the original slums, all the land was taken over by the real estate subsidiary company of the Bader Group, and all of them were demolished and transformed into small high-rise buildings.

In the case of bungalows, the area of ​​the station is often large and the number of people accommodated is relatively small, but the situation is different for high-rise buildings.

On the same land, as long as you build higher, you can live as many people as you want.

The dark wizard trading black market in Knockturn Alley was also canceled by Leicester, and replaced by the wizard market.

The commodity remains the same, but there is an extra law enforcement team composed of prisoners, responsible for law enforcement, to ensure that there is no forced buying and selling in the market.

Unlike before, the current Knockturn Alley Wizards Market has a daily flow of people no less than that of Diagon Alley.

The reason is very simple. Most of the workers in the Bader Super Factory live in Knockturn Alley, and there are many dormitories for employees in the factory, which are built in Knockturn Alley.

In this way, there will be a strong consumption power. The workers get wages from part-time jobs, and there is a high probability that they will go to the nearest market for consumption.

In order to earn more money, merchants will definitely stay in the wizard market in Knockturn Alley, although there are no shops here, they can only set up street stalls and pay carpet fees.

However, relying on the huge consumption power of the workers, the merchants have made a lot of money one after another, rushing to live in Knockturn Alley to sell their goods.

Over time, the wizarding market in Knockturn Alley has become more and more prosperous, and the living standards of Knockturn Alley residents have also continued to improve.

After the basic material life is guaranteed, people will pursue spiritual enjoyment.

Bad Quidditch Stadium, where there are free Quidditch matches every day for all to watch.

Brian, the top star, is also a resident guest of the stadium. Every day, wizards from all over the magic world come here to pay their respects to their idols and watch a hearty game along the way.

Now, according to polls, Knockturn Alley is the third happiest place in the wizarding world.

In front of him were Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.

Lester looked at the street with people coming and going, and sighed: "When will I find a reliable doctor? Without a hospital, how will my Knockturn Alley compete with Diagon Alley in the future!"

Why do some places pay a lot of money, while others don't care about it, because the functions of cities are different.

In a city where every inch of land is expensive, there are supermarkets, shopping malls, entertainment facilities, and hospitals.

Now, in Knockover Alley, the supermarkets, shopping plazas, and entertainment facilities are all built by ourselves, and the only thing that needs to be done is the livelihood support facilities.

boom! boom! boom!

At this moment, there was an unhurried knock on the door.

"Come in!" Lester said without raising his head.

Afterwards, Hafez brought Fudge and quickly came to Lester.

"Director Fudge, this is my boss, who is also the chairman of the Bader Group, Lester Bader!"

Hafiz introduced Leicester very respectfully.

Fudge's face changed, and he immediately smiled: "Master Lai, hello, I'm Cornelius Fudge, the director of the Department of Magical Disasters, and I'm very glad to be able to work for you!"

Before, when Hafiz told Fudge that he still had a big brother, Fudge thought he was joking, but he never imagined that there really was such a big brother, and he seemed to be very young.

Lester stood up, and stretched out his right hand with a smile: "Director Fudge, seeing is believing, hahaha!"

Fudge quickly took Lester's hand, and respectfully said: "Master Lai, you are a big shot, it is my honor to take the time to see me!"

It's no wonder that Fudge is so lacking in dignity. The main reason is that the only one who can save him now is Lester.

Before, in the ministerial battle between him and Crouch, he had always had the upper hand and beat Crouch.

However, within this month, the situation changed drastically. The legendary wizard Dumbledore actually mobilized his own political resources and began to lean towards Crouch.

In just one month, many of Fudge's political allies defected.

Compared with Dumbledore, Fudge, the director of the Department of Magical Disasters, is simply not competitive at all.

Helpless, Fudge could only find Hafiz, and under Hafiz's recommendation, he found Leicester and sought powerful political assistance from Leicester.

"Master Lai, please help me!" Fudge said sincerely, "I am willing to be your most loyal subordinate!"

"The most loyal subordinate?" Lester looked at Fudge playfully.

In the original book, Dumbledore also supported him to become a minister. As a result, the white-eyed wolf turned around and stabbed Dumbledore.

Lester suppressed his smile and said expressionlessly, "Really? You should know the price of lying to me!"

"Master!" Fudge said very kindly, and bowed to him.

Lester didn't stop him either, but after Fudge finished his worship, he said calmly: "I can support you to become the Minister of Magic, but I need an unbreakable oath!"

"this"

A trace of hesitation appeared on Fudge's face, then he gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I am willing!"

Factional competition has always been a life-and-death struggle. Unlike Crouch, I belong to the pure-blooded 28 saints.

If someone fails, you can keep your previous status, but if you fail yourself, you will definitely be liquidated!

Those who are light are dismissed from their posts, and the painstaking efforts of the previous ten years have been wasted. If it is more serious, he will be directly assassinated to eradicate his old opponent.

"Good!" Lester was very satisfied, and under the witness of Hafiz, he signed an unbreakable oath with Fudge.

Fudge will treat Lester as his master and must not betray him, otherwise he will die suddenly.

As for Leicester, he needs to use all his resources to help Fudge become the Minister of Magic, otherwise there will be no price!
