Chapter 629： Beyond expectations

"So what exactly did you call us here for today?" Hermione asked directly as Ryan thought about these things. "I believe you should not just tell us what is happening now."

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

"What." Ryan, who was considering the question just now, opened his eyes wide. "Aren't you kidding me? Hogwarts eggs of this size and Hogsmead are all here. How could it be possible to run out of money?"

"But this is indeed the case." Dumbledore was also somewhat at a loss here. Perhaps it was the first time he borrowed money after he became the greatest white wizard, so he was very uncomfortable with the current situation.

"The operation of Hogwarts mainly comes from the funds of the Ministry of Magic and the donations of the rich school managers, but since the Ministry of Magic was controlled by Voldemort, these are all gone now. And most people fled to Hogsmeade and lost them. In the meantime, the Gu Ling Pavilion is now full of Death Eaters, and we have no way to withdraw money. "

"Isn't Gu Lingge saying you can send money directly to your door?" Ryan asked. "You let the goblin send the money directly, it will not be over."

"They rejected me." Dumbledore spread his hands. "The goblin representative said that they could not participate in the battle of the wizards, but there were a few goblin privately willing to provide me with a loan business, but the interest was too high."

It should n’t be a private loan business. Ryan did n’t believe that a goblin could bypass the series of supervisions at Gu Ling Pavilion and lend a large sum of money to Dumbledore. This could only be the group of goblins who wanted to make more money. .

Ryan is not wondering why Dumbledore found himself borrowing money. As an alchemist with a magic stone, he did not have money in the world in terms of secular finance. So he asked neatly. "how much do you need?"

"The more, the better." After Professor Dumbledore said that this was not appropriate, he added: "The main reason is that it costs too much money to run a school. It costs 2500 gallons every day. .. I have taken out my private property, but it is not enough. "

"I don't have many gallons in my hand." Ryan's words dimmed as soon as he spoke out of Professor Dumbledore's eyes, but Professor Dumbledore immediately cheered up with the next sentence.

"But I have a lot of gold, precious stones, and various magical herbs. I think these are all 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 the sky.

Wizards over there are willing to accept our credit for buying magic items, but daily supplies must be purchased with hard currency. Because those things need to be purchased from Muggles, they must use cash. "

"Cash? But I don't have renminbi or pounds here," Ryan said, scratching his head. "And it will be difficult for these golds to be exchanged for the Muggles' currency in a little while."

"Ah, don't worry about this." Dumbledore reassured, "The wizard who sent the item last time told me that the Muggles over there were willing to accept all hard currency, including gold. Just include it. There are gold, all kinds of food, clothing and everything you need for daily life can be easily bought. "

Speaking of which, Dumbledore even showed a slightly unbelievable expression: "Did you know? The Tianzhao wizard told me that as long as they consulted with the Muggle government according to the traditional process, the gold will be replaced by the Muggle government for the local Purchasing money for us is all we need. "

"Our entire school and all the daily necessities needed by Hogsmeade under the castle can be shipped to us in a city in a short time, and this purchase will not cause the local Muggle life. Any impact. I ’m really curious how they did all this without magic? At least I ca n’t find a place in the UK other than London that can get so many things together at once. ”

That is the factory of the future! It's not easy to make goods for consumption by thousands of individuals. Lion thought. At this time, only the United States west of the ocean can have similar production capacity.

As for the old Europe, it is now in the mid-1990s, and the decline of the old Europe has begun to slowly emerge. It is estimated that the purchase of materials used by thousands of people like this will take many cities to run. Much more expensive.

"Okay, this is the wealth I carry with me. Do you see if this is enough? If not enough, I can mobilize more money in three days." Ryan said as he took a small space bag from his arms Professor Dumbledore.

Dumbledore opened his pocket, which contained ten 400-ounce gold bricks of international standards. In addition, there are three adult fist-sized transparent boxes containing 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, which radiates the world. After cleaning up the local gangster gunman, the underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank on Wall Street belongs to them. At that time, they obtained more than 7,000 tons of gold and a large variety of Jewelry, the gold that Ryan brought out today belongs to that harvest.

"The wealth is enough to support Hogsmeade's next round of taxation." Dumbledore looked relieved, and the recent financial problems did indeed put him under tremendous pressure, especially with a lot of money in the Guling Pavilion in London. When you can't get it out. I have to say that the trouble caused by Voldemort's first control of the bank is indeed large enough ~ www.novelhall.com ~ We will definitely give you priority when you have money. "Dumbledore said." But now there is still a long time to win, in addition, even after winning, we still need a lot of money for reconstruction. So the time to repay— "

"You mean-we can't get the money back after we borrowed it, right?" Hermione asked, looking at the principal Dumbledore. She knew that Ryan was not suitable to refute the principal at this time, so she could only come out to sing a white face.

"This is indeed the case." Professor Dumbledore said with his hands crossed. "It sounds terrible, but I don't think I can deceive you here."

Speaking of which, Dumbledore straightened up his body. "But in addition to the long wait, I actually have another way to solve this problem, that is, the money is counted as your donation."

At this point, Hermione waved his hand to signal what he wanted to say, quiet down and listen to him in detail. "Of course, I will not let you donate in vain. Robbing wealth is the practice of Voldemort and the group of Death Eaters. I naturally will not do that. The reason why I suggest you donate is because I will give you the corresponding afterwards. Compensation. "

"Isn't it the Merlin Medal? I guess it's useless even at the first level." Hermione said. Her words seemed harsh, but Dumbledore was not angry. The question of private wealth in the Western world is very important, so Hermione, in her capacity as a fiancee of Ryan, can replace Ryan to issue such a question to Dumbledore.

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