International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 89 Nobody Can Capture Gringotts Before Gringotts Surrenders

The poor financial level of the Ministry of Magic has reached an appalling level.The Ministry of Magic has seven departments: Department of Magical Law Enforcement, Department of Magical Accidents and Disasters, Department of Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Department of International Magical Cooperation, Department of Magical Transport, Department of Magical Sports and Department of Mysteries.There is also an office of the Minister for Magic.

Among so many organizations, the only one that has anything to do with finance is the International Magic Trade Standards Association under the Department of International Magical Cooperation.It was this department that Percy entered first after graduation.

What does this department do?Anyway, when Percy joined, the society was preparing to standardize the thickness of imported crucibles.

It is a department responsible for overseeing and assessing the trading practices of the wizarding world, as well as promulgating and enforcing international laws governing trade standards.

In fact, it has nothing to do with finance.

The department mainly responsible for the economic affairs of the magic world is the Fairy Liaison Office.Cuthbert Mockridge is the current head of the office, that is, the director, and he is responsible for coordinating the relationship between goblins and wizards.

There is one thing to say, the goblins are really very knowledgeable, that is, "things will come".

First of all, they help the wizards of the Ministry of Magic calculate their salaries and bonuses every month, and there has never been a mistake—of course, the wizards may not be able to see the problem.They will be very serious about sending the salary statement to the wizards, and then move the ding-dong cuties into the wizard's vault-as long as the gold is still in Gringotts, then it is not a problem, the formalities and so on Extremely fast - faster than the time for major operators to open additional packages.

And senior officials always get some unplanned income—perfectly legal, clean income.Of course, goblins will not disclose wizards' income to others unless it is absolutely necessary, and they also refuse the Ministry of Magic's inspection of specific wizards' coffers.

Even death eaters or extinct pure-blood families imprisoned in Azkaban will not have their money confiscated - in theory.Or to be more precise, it will not be taken by the Ministry of Magic, and the money is still on the books.

In addition to doing free accounting, the goblins are also responsible for helping the Ministry of Magic raise the expenses of various activities, as well as the expenses required for daily operations.The source of funding for the Ministry of Magic is also very interesting. They don't have a tax department... The operation of the Ministry of Magic mainly depends on donations from pure-blood families and money from Gringotts...

Generally speaking, as long as the Minister of Magic doesn't intend to remove gold from Gringotts, the goblins will do their best to meet the Minister's needs-not too extreme.

The symbiotic relationship between the Ministry of Magic and Gringotts has gradually stabilized over time, until wizards see the Daily Prophet today.

This time the goblins crossed the line.It is impossible for the wizards to tolerate their continued misconduct.The goblins themselves broke the bond of trust between them and the wizard.

Mockridge arrives at Gringotts with an elite group of wizards.

Unlike the hustle and bustle of the past, today's Gringotts is closed even though it is open, and a large number of wizards gather outside.

Anxiety, anger and fear are in the air.Their life's wealth is likely to be squandered by greedy goblins.

Whenever they thought of this, the wizards were as angry as if they found out that their wives were communicating with the old king next door when they were working overtime.

From the wands tightly clenched in their hands, it can be seen that the situation is extremely serious. If there is no one from the Ministry of Magic to control it, they are likely to rush into Gringotts to make a "zero dollar purchase".

What keeps them calm now is nothing more than the lack of manpower.They weren't good enough to defeat the goblins at Gringotts just yet.

Seeing Mockridge and a group of wizards from the Ministry of Magic arrive on the scene, the crowd began to stir.

Many wizards' eyes turned red with excitement when they saw the employees of the Ministry of Magic.

"Goddamn goblin... my life savings! This is what I have saved over 30 years of frugality!"

"I'm sorry to my ancestors! I failed to keep my property..."

Surrounded by a group of wizards, Mockridge, who was covered in burly men, was a little bit overwhelmed, "There is no substantive evidence yet, let's check it out..." He shouted and pushed the crowd away.

When he came to the gate, the door opened before he could knock, and several old goblins invited the investigators from the Ministry of Magic in.

"So what was said in the Daily Prophet is true?" Mockridge rubbed his forehead and said very tiredly.

"Deoch VII acted arbitrarily. He secretly embezzled the funds of the wizards..." The nose of the leading goblin was almost touching the floor.

"If an apology is useful, what do you need an Auror for?" Scrimgeour's voice was icy.

"We will give compensation that satisfies everyone."

Fudge quickly got the outcome of the incident.

The goblins surrendered.As a price, they will hand over 51% of the shares of Gringotts and a sufficient weight of the scapegoat.The 28 pure blood companies will jointly bear the losses and divide up these shares - those who pay more will get more, and those who pay less will get less.

For example, the shares obtained by the Weasley family are approximately equal to zero, while the extinct Gaunt and the Lestrange family whose family is in Azkaban are deliberately ignored by them, and even Lucius and others intend to tacitly Passed on the loss to those few unowned vaults.

Fudge's hearty laughter drifted out of his office.Lucius and the others also showed happy smiles—they didn't know the size of the funding gap for the time being, they only knew that they could get a share of Gringotts.

"President Deoch VII committed suicide in fear of crime..."

"The losses of all wizards will be borne by the pure blood 28 saints."

"Wizards will get half of the ownership of Gringotts. From then on, the wizard's bank belongs to wizards, and Gringotts is jointly run by wizards and goblins..."

Fudge arrived at Gringotts as quickly as possible, and comforted the terrified wizards.

The crowd dispersed quickly, and everything seemed to be back on track.

The little wizards at Hogwarts didn't panic for long, and Dumbledore quickly came out to appease them.Before it was lunch time, they received an urgent notice from the Daily Prophet, and all of them showed happy smiles—look, the problem has been solved perfectly!
"I have fulfilled the dream of ten generations! I brought back the shares of Gringotts!" Cornelius Fudge's bright smile appeared on the picture accompanying the urgent notice, and he smiled while waving a roll of parchment —Gringotts' "surrender" treaty.

At noon, the little wizards who finished playing in the arena began to enjoy their lunch.

Fudge also had an inventory report from the Gringotts vault.

"How much was robbed?"

"Three hundred million Galleons."

Boom!
"Come on! Come on! The minister fainted! Resuscitate quickly!"

"The resuscitating spell doesn't work! Take it to St. Mungo's Hospital! Quick!"

　Three changes completed.
