Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Murphy arrived at Knockturn Alley, and Locke was anxiously waiting for him in Siren Song.

Murphy's professional manager looked haggard at the moment, as if he hadn't slept well for several days. As soon as he saw Murphy, he bowed to the ground and said, "Mr. Murphy, I have betrayed your trust."

Murphy helped him up, "What's going on? I heard someone said that Gringotts has banned gold exchange?"

Now he is planning to build several more laboratories in the UK, equipped with wizards, potions, magical animals and potion materials, and these all require Galleons, not to mention the wages of the wizards who have promised the Queen.

His several wizarding shops, except for some serious profits from the potion shop, the other shops basically have other purposes. Not only do they not make money, they even require him to keep putting money into them.

Once gold exchange is banned, he really has no source of galleons.

Fairy Locke's face was full of sorrow. He stood up, but still did not sit in his seat. Instead, he lowered his head like a subordinate who had made a mistake and said: "It's not a complete ban, it's just that they increased the exchange commission and lowered it. exchange rates and take your exchange business away from me, they no longer allow department managers to handle large accounts alone.”

Originally, Murphy's gold exchange business, as well as the payment delivery, fund redemption and other businesses of various stores under his name, were all handled by Fairy Locke, who was equivalent to Murphy's fund manager.

"The gold exchange rate has been reduced, by how much?" Murphy asked.

"One ounce of gold is exchanged for 20 Galleons, and an additional 5 Galleons handling fee is charged." Locke said.

At today's gold price, one ounce of gold is worth close to 175 pounds. When Locke was in charge of Murphy's exchange business, one ounce of gold could be exchanged for 32 galleons without any handling fees, which is basically close to the ideal exchange ratio.

Now the exchange rate has dropped by half. No wonder Locke said that gold exchange was banned. The losses would be too much and no one would do this.

"Why did the exchange rate of gold suddenly decrease?" Murphy asked.

"The top management of Gringotts has just made some adjustments recently. Cyrus Breen, the young heir to the Breen family, the largest clan of goblins, has been appointed as the new general manager of Gringotts. He issued the order personally."

Goblins are a huge group, and their population is not much smaller than wizards. Goblins value the inheritance of bloodline more than wizards, which can be seen from their full names.

If each goblin's full name is written out, it will be found that it contains the names of at least the five generations of ancestors mentioned above.

To a certain extent, they are more conservative and stubborn than wizards.

"A new official has taken office." Murphy understood somewhat, "We cannot accept this exchange ratio, but Gringotts is not his own, so tell him that I am willing to pay him some personal commission every year so that he can maintain the original exchange rate. "

Bribery is sometimes useful, and Murphy doesn't mind paying this small price if it can solve the problem.

Locke nodded, "Okay, I'll try."

However, within half a day, Locke came back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"What happened?" Murphy was shocked, "How did it happen like this?"

"Guleos said I was a traitor and a lackey of the wizard, so he beat me out. I was fired." Locke sighed, "Moreover, he lowered the gold exchange rate again to fifteen galleons per ounce. .”

Murphy frowned, "To everyone?"

"No, it's only for you." Locke said.

"Why?" Murphy didn't quite understand. "Have I ever offended the Breen family?"

"Bogorod's surname is Brynn." Locke said, "Do you remember? He was once the president of Gringotts Bank. He was later arrested by the Ministry of Magic for 'attempting to embezzle wizard property'. Now it seems that he has been The Goblin Council was exiled to a certain mine to mine."

"Guleos seems to be Bogorod's nephew." Locke said, "Moreover, when I went to see him, I also saw a wizard in his office."

"wizard?"

"Yes, Mundungus Fletcher, a gangster, but I used goblin gold coins to hear their conversation." Locke said, "They seemed to mention the Sorcerer's Stone... I think this thing is unusual, Murphy Sir, they seem to be coming for you."

Mundungus?

This guy seems to be an Order of the Phoenix, right?

Sure enough, it was for myself.

But, the Philosopher's Stone?

"What did you hear?" Murphy asked, "Tell me carefully."

"Mundungus seems to be serving someone. That person promised Guleos that if he completes his plan to freeze your treasury, he will give him the magic stone as promised."

Murphy was a little angry.

Damn it!

Magic stone!

You bad old man Dumbledore! Would you rather give the magic stone to the goblin than to me? ! Am I even the legal heir to the Philosopher's Stone? !

"Let's go, I'll go meet this Guleos personally!"

…

Gringotts.

Underground, general manager's room.

Lying on the sofa is a young goblin. He is dressed quite differently from ordinary goblins. His attire is very casual and full of the feeling of a nouveau riche. There is a thick gold chain around his neck, several gemstone rings on his hands, a pair of shorts, but on his feet are a pair of gold-encrusted leather shoes.

There was an older goblin standing in front of him, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and he looked quite shrewd.

"You shouldn't agree to that guy! Dumbledore is unreliable now. He is just an exiled wizard with little energy. We don't even know whether the magic stone that the gangster said is true or false!"

The old goblin roared.

"I thought Bogorod was your son, and you wanted to avenge him, Grandpa Padro." The lying goblin said disdainfully.

"Bogorod was a fool, that's why he was knocked down." The old elf Padro said, "And you are even more stupid than him, Guleos, Murphy Darkholm is now the leader of the British wizarding world. The most terrifying person, and you actually want to offend him!"

"You are so afraid of wizards, that's why you are so suppressed that you can't hold your head up." Guleos sneered disdainfully, "We obviously control the bank, but you are begging for their rewards like beggars!"

"This is the world of wizards! Guleos! It is not the world of our goblins! Only by recognizing this can we survive."

"But you may have forgotten that we fought back Gringotts. It was the goblin revolution that took back Gringotts! You can only be a slave to a wizard if you beg for mercy. Look at those house elves. Do you want to be like that?"

"But not now, Guleos, we are not prepared enough," Padro said. "If you insist on doing this, I will consider asking the parliament to remove you from your post!"

"No one will agree with you, Grandpa." Guleos suddenly laughed strangely, "We have all seen it, we have all heard it, but you haven't..."

"You've blocked your ears with fear and you can't hear those sounds."

"What?" Padro was confused, "What sound?"

"Drums, footsteps..." Guleos looked at Padro's back, as if he really heard something, "They are coming soon..."

At this moment, there was a "bang", the door to the manager's office was kicked open, and a wizard strode in.

"Your ears work pretty well," Murphy looked at the dazed goblin, "but why don't you have eyes?"
