Chapter 341 Whether you can win is not important, but whether you place a bet is very important
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
Ludo Bagman looked quite big, wearing a yellow and black robe, and his fat figure made him look like a wasp.
After walking into the tent, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and the excited expression on his face also subsided a little.
There are tens of thousands of tents in the venue, with all kinds of strange things, but there are really not many with such complete functions.
However, he didn't care too much. After all, he is now the director of the Department of Sports and Sports of the Ministry of Magic. He is not very powerful, but his position is unshakable during the Quidditch World Cup.
"Arthur, old man." Bagman was all smiles. "Your son Percy said you were here."
"He's currently working in the Ministry of Magic." Arthur said with some pride, and then introduced Harry, Hermione, and his children to him. After all, Ludo helped get their tickets.
As for Aaron and the others, he also introduced them one by one, and mentioned in the introduction that this tent belonged to them, implying that it was not suitable for Bagman to talk about business here.
"Guys, do you want to bet on the game?"
Aaron shook his head, he didn't know much about the Quidditch World Cup, betting... on luck?
"I stand by my original opinion, but I'm not interested in gambling," Lyons said.
Adrian ignored it even more, and silently sorted out the information he got about the Quidditch World Cup.
"Uncle Jins, please prepare an owl for me, I need to deliver a letter home."
"Okay, I'll go get ready."
"It seems that there is no support!" Bagman was a little disappointed.
Arthur hesitated for a moment, "I'll buy Ireland for a Galleon to win."
"One... will do."
The corner of Bagman's mouth twitched. When others bet on him, at least they were double-digit Galleons, and most of them bet half of their own net worth.
In comparison, Arthur was just making up the numbers, but considering Weasley's family situation, he couldn't say anything, he was really poor!
"We bet thirty-seven Galleons, fifteen Sickles, and three Knuts," Fred said suddenly, and George hastily pulled out their money.
"We're betting on Ireland but Krum will catch the Snitch."
"Huh?" Leon looked at the Weasley brothers in surprise, with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "I have vision, I think so too."
"Are you sure?" Arthur lowered his voice and persuaded, "I don't want you to gamble, and this is all your savings, your mother..."
"Don't spoil the fun, Arthur," Bagman interjected hastily. "They're old enough to know what they want, and I'll give them good odds."
As he spoke, Bagman took out a pen and paper, quickly wrote down the names of the twin brothers and their bets, and then he handed them the small piece of parchment as a written statement.
"Almost forgot the business." Bagman patted his head, "Arthur, can you help me find Barty Crouch?
Embarrassed to say so, but he speaks more than 150 languages and I need a translator now. "
"Barty Crouch?" Arthur froze for a moment, "Okay, I'll pay attention.
But I suggest you go to Percy, who's working in Barty Crouch's department right now. "
Bagman nodded in satisfaction, and walked out of the tent with the twin brothers' gambling money.
"It can be seen." Leon looked at Fred and George meaningfully, "You two seem to be short of money!"
"It's not just him, we are all short of money." Ron said embarrassedly.
"No, you may have misunderstood me.
I mean they need a sum of money, and this money is very important to them. "
"How do you know?" George and Fred asked in unison.
"You don't seem so unreliable, but you can use all the money you have saved to gamble, which is a bit abnormal."
"Have you committed a crime?" Arthur looked at his two sons worriedly, for fear that they would nod.
"No, Dad, where are you thinking?" Fred said speechlessly.
"We just need a starting capital." George added, "This is what we planned a long time ago, but Mom seems to have been not optimistic about our idea."
"It's not a toy store, is it?"
The two brothers nodded together.
Arthur reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief. It's not that he can't understand his two sons. It's not so much that they don't do their jobs properly, it's better to say that they are talented. The two of them have never disappointed in pranks.
But the problem is that it's useless for Molly to agree, and their family can't raise the money to open the store.
Leon took out a lollipop from Abe's pocket and asked while eating, "How much does it cost?"
"What do you mean?" Fred asked nervously, "Do you want to help us?"
"more or less!"
"This is not a small amount of money, otherwise we wouldn't have gambled all our savings." George said.
"I'll give you two thousand galleons." Leon stretched out two fingers, "Pay it back within five years. As for the interest, I want you to pay ten percent of your net profit within five years."
The twin brothers looked at each other, but ecstasy followed.
Pie in the sky, this is much easier than a wizard bank loan.
"Wait, wait." Arthur said hastily, "What if they don't come, it's two thousand Galleons."
"There's no such possibility, Mr Weasley, you should have some faith in them.
Not everyone has the courage to bet all his wealth on a chance. "Leon said appreciatively, and then took out a key, "Gringotts, Vault No. 31.
After withdrawing the money, just hand over the key to Aaron and he will return it to me. "
"Thank you very much." Fred said sincerely.
"It's like re-parenting," George said.
Arthur's face darkened immediately. Although he knew that the two of them had taken advantage of it, his biological parents were still here. Did he want to lose face?
"George, Fred." Arthur called them, and then looked at Harry and the others solemnly, "Remember, Molly must never know about this, and you don't want to see her angry look like that!"
Several people shuddered in unison, and Mrs. Weasley was still terrified when she got angry.
"Also, Charlie, Bill, and Percy can't know." Arthur added, "at least until the results are made."
"It's a secret between us," said Fred.
"Then can you give me some benefits?" Ron rubbed his hands excitedly, "It shouldn't cost two thousand Galleons just to open a shop!"
"A [-]% discount for you and Harry in the future," George said.
"what?"
"Look out, Ron." Fred patted his younger brother on the shoulder, "After all, we also want to make money."
"What about us?" Ginny said, taking Hermione's hand.
"Girls are different, we will also import some cosmetics at that time." Fred laughed, "You will receive special gifts on some important festivals, absolutely genuine."
"It's almost there."
After comforting the younger siblings, the brothers looked at Leon, "We guarantee that your investment will be rewarded handsomely."
"He doesn't care if he gets anything in return!" Aaron rolled his eyes, "Don't be fooled by him, two thousand Galleons is his pocket money for a month."
Everyone looked at the young man with a lollipop on the sofa in unison. They once again felt an indescribable psychological gap. This rich man is different from what they thought!
"With this time, I might as well recover your gambling money as soon as possible." Leon said with a meaningful smile, "I don't think Ludo Bagman is the kind of person who follows the rules."
"Isn't it?" Ginny said unconfidently, "Mr. Bagman is the head of the Department of Magical Sports and Sports, so he is a respectable person after all!"
"Hahaha." Leon laughed unkindly, "Sister, you are so cute, although there is a certain gap compared with my sister.
You might as well think about it the other way around, when did all the famous people come to other people's tents to find someone to bet on?
One Galleon is not too little, thirty Galleons is not too much, and the odds are raised as soon as they are mentioned... It doesn't matter whether you can win, but whether you place a bet or not is very important.
Tut tut tut!If I'm not mistaken...Mr. Bagman is not as good as he appears. "
When the Weasley brothers heard this, they couldn't hold back immediately. Although they got a large investment, they saved the 37 galleons, [-] siacs and three knuts one by one. all of his wealth.
It's okay if they lose, they can afford to lose if they dare to bet, but they don't want to bet their money on someone who has no credibility.
Losing is sad, winning...then it is even more sad.
The two were just about to go to Ludo Bagman when they were stopped by Mr. Arthur Weasley.
"Wait, don't worry."
"Dad, I know he helped us get our tickets, but every yard counts." George said anxiously, "That's all our savings."
"Why didn't you listen when I told you not to bet!" Arthur said depressedly, "I also bet a Galleon! Do you know how difficult it is to deduct some money from Molly?
But since we have made a bet, we can only wait for the result. This is the Quidditch World Cup. If things get serious, it will not end well. "
George and Fred also calmed down, but their faces became a little gloomy, and there was even an urge to cry.
"There's no need to be so wronged!" Ron tried to comfort him, "This is just Leon's guess."
"You can always trust my vision." Leon said confidently.
"Well... we still have something to do, so we're leaving first.
See you after the game starts! said Arthur, and Hermione left the tent with her children and Harry.
Although Fred and George got investment unexpectedly, they were embarrassed to stay any longer.
"It seems that I will be more careful when betting with others in the future." Aaron said with emotion, "It may not be a good deal if you win!"
"Pull it down!
I can see it, my sister can see it too, can't you see it? "
"Of course I can see it, but I won't say it.
You are still the same as before, don't let go of interesting things, and I haven't changed, one thing more is worse than one thing less. "
"Don't disturb me." Adrian said lightly, and Aaron and Leon immediately shut up.
The tent fell silent instantly. She sat at the desk, wrote and drew in the notebook with a quill pen, and outlined the shape of a trophy.
After walking into the tent, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and the excited expression on his face also subsided a little.
