Chapter 629: Beyond Expectations

Then why did you call us here today? Hermione asked bluntly when Ryan was thinking about these things. I believe you should not just explain the current situation to us.

Of course not, I have some things to discuss with you. Professor Dumbledore paused here, and then said, Can you lend me some funds? It's not just Garen, Muggle money. also need.

What. Ryan, who was thinking about the question just now, opened his eyes wide. Aren't you kidding? Such a big Hogwarts poisonous egg and Hogsmeade are placed here. How could there be no money?

But the situation is indeed like this. Dumbledore also seemed a little at a loss when he said this. It may be the first time for him to borrow money after becoming the greatest white wizard, so he is very uncomfortable with the current situation.

The operation of Hogwarts mainly comes from funding from the Ministry of Magic and donations from wealthy school managers, but since the Ministry of Magic was controlled by Voldemort, all of these are now gone. And most people fled to Hogsmeade and lost We lost our jobs, and Gringotts is now full of Death Eaters, and we have no way of withdrawing money.

Didn't Gringotts say that you can send money directly to your door? Ryan asked. If you ask the goblin to send the money directly, it will be over.

They rejected me. Dumbledore spread his hands. The goblin representative said that they can't participate in the battle of wizards, but a few goblins are willing to provide me with a loan business in private, but the interest is too high.

It should not be a private loan business. Ryan does not believe that there are goblins who can bypass Gringotts' series of supervision and lend a large amount of money to Dumbledore. It can only be that the goblins want to make more money. .

Ryan didn't wonder why Dumbledore asked himself to borrow money. As an alchemist who owned the Philosopher's Stone, he was not poor in terms of secular finances. So he asked bluntly. how much do you need?

The more the better. After Professor Dumbledore finished speaking, he found that it was a bit inappropriate to say so, so he added: The main reason is that running a school requires too much money, 2,500 Galleons a day. .I have taken out my personal property, but not enough.

I don't have many Galleons in my hand. The brilliance in Professor Dumbledore's eyes dimmed a little as soon as Ryan's words came out, but the next sentence quickly cheered up Professor Dumbledore.

But I have a lot of gold, gems and various magic herbs, I think these are needed for school operations. Ryan said.

That's very good. Professor Dumbledore nodded. In fact, most of the money in school operations is used to buy all kinds of materials needed for life and teaching. With gold, those daily materials and consumables can be imported from China.

The wizards over there are willing to accept our credit for magic items, but everyday supplies must be purchased with hard currency. Because they need to buy those things from Muggles, they have to use cash.

Cash money? But I don't have renminbi or pounds here. Ryan scratched his head and said. And it will be difficult to exchange these golds into the currency used by Muggles for a while.

Ah, don't worry about that. Dumbledore comforted, The wizard sent by the Celestial Dynasty to hand over the items told me that the Muggles on their side are willing to accept all hard currencies, including gold. As long as There is gold, all kinds of food, clothing and everything you need for daily life can be bought conveniently.

Speaking of this, Dumbledore even showed a slightly incredulous expression: Did you know? The wizard of the Celestial Dynasty told me that as long as they discussed with the Muggle government according to the traditional process, the gold would be exchanged by the Muggle government for local gold. Money purchasing for us is all we need.

They can prepare all the daily necessities needed for our entire school and Hogsmeade below the castle in one city in a very short time,

And this purchase will not have any impact on the lives of local Muggles. I'm really curious how they did all this without magic? At least I can't find a place in the UK that can gather so many things at once except London.

That is the world factory of the future! It is not easy to produce goods for the consumption of thousands of people. Ryan thought. At this time, only the United States on the west side of the ocean can have similar production capacity.

As for old Europe, it is now the mid-90s, and the decline of old Europe has begun to slowly appear. It is estimated that it will take many cities to purchase materials for thousands of people, and it must be cheaper than importing from China. Much more expensive.

Okay, this is the wealth I carry with me. Do you think it is enough? If not, I can mobilize more money within three days. Ryan said and took out a small space bag from his arms To Professor Dumbledore.

Dumbledore opened his pocket, which contained ten gold bricks of international standard 400 ounces each. In addition, there are three transparent boxes the size of an adult's fist, which contain cut natural red sapphires and diamonds. Although the size is not large, it is the best shot size on the market.

These things come from New York in the radiation world. After cleaning up the gangsters and gunmen entrenched there, the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank on Wall Street became theirs. At that time, they obtained more than 7,000 tons of gold and a large amount of various Jewelry, the gold that Ryan took out today belongs to that harvest.

This wealth is completely enough to support Hogsmeade's next round of taxes. Dumbledore seemed relieved. The recent financial problems have indeed put him under great pressure, especially a lot of money in Gringotts in London When it cannot be taken out. It has to be said that Voldemort's practice of controlling and controlling the bank in the first place caused enough trouble.

We will definitely pay you back when we have money, Dumbledore said. However, there is still a long time before the victory. In addition, even after the victory, we still need a lot of money for reconstruction. So the time for repayment—

You mean - it's hard for us to get back the money after it's been lent out, right? Hermione asked, looking at Headmaster Dumbledore. She knew that it was not suitable for Ryan to come out to refute the principal at this time, so she could only come out and sing a bad face.

That's true, said Professor Dumbledore, with his arms folded. It sounds pretty bad, but I don't think I can fool you guys on this.

Having said that, Dumbledore straightened his body and said. But besides the long wait, I actually have another way to solve this problem, that is, all the money will be counted as your donation.

Having said that, he waved his hand to signal Hermione, who wanted to say something, to calm down and listen to him in detail. Of course, I won't let you donate in vain. Robbing wealth is what Voldemort and his group of Death Eaters did. Naturally, I won't do that. The reason why I suggest you donate is because I will give you corresponding compensation.

It can't be the Order of Merlin, can it? Even if it's first class, I guess it's useless. Hermione said. Her words seemed a bit mean, but Dumbledore was not angry. Questions about private wealth in the Western world are very important, so Hermione, as Ryan's fiancée, can completely replace Ryan in asking Dumbledore such questions.

Of course not. Dumbledore shook his head. And the Merlin Medal is issued by the Ministry of Magic, I have no right to interfere. What I want to discuss with you is that I want you to become the school director of Hogwarts.
