Archdruid of Hogwarts

As for the war allowance for Aurors, in Ernie's opinion, it's actually not much.

The Aurors in the entire British wizarding circle are only in their early three hundred years.

At an exchange rate of 1:5 between gold galleons and pounds, the salaries of Aurors are not as high as those of cleaning staff in mortal England. The McMillan family can still support cleaners.

It can even be said that for him, who has the advantage of being a 'prophet', this long-term burden is really just drizzle.

In just the past few years, a considerable part of MacMillan's financial resources has been used to plan for the future.

In a few years, when the great Eastern countries exert their strength and become the economic engine of the world, then they will really be able to have their mouths full of oil.

Just to give you an example, wood.

Due to the influence of traditional culture, large Eastern countries have a preference for solid wood furniture second only to houses and land.

What kind of mahogany, huanghuali, golden nan, all kinds of high-end.

However, the deforestation situation in the large eastern countries is very serious.

Coupled with the helplessness of sacrificing the environment for the sake of economy, forests and other things have become key protection targets.

At the same time, developed countries in Europe have successfully deindustrialized and created garden cities one after another.

The Lighthouse Country has a vast territory, rich resources, sparse population, and various tyrannical powers. The price of natural forest trees is low, wooden houses are much cheaper than bricks and stones, and many large trees have been cut down for firewood.

The majestic Versailles is really dying of drought and dying of floods.

And this, in Ernie's eyes, is a business opportunity.

The key is that we have extraordinary, space bags with extension spells cast. What is the concept of smuggling big wood?

Wizards without the ability to predict will know that these things will be green gold in a few years? So even if you are caught, is it too outrageous to go to jail just because of a few pieces of wood?

Even trying to find it is very difficult.

Because the layout is early, the water can flow slowly.

Wizards do not yet have the manpower to keep an eye on the various intricate logistics documents and warehouse stocking and sales situations in the mortal world.

Since you can't tell an accurate number, it's easy to be careless if it's a little more or a little less.

There are many similar future industries.

Moreover, this is luxury money, it does not harm the livelihood of the people at the bottom of the society, it does not involve evil deeds, and it is a pleasant profit.

As for the current main money-making channels, one of them is also related to the big Eastern countries.

That is to make a fuss about technical barriers and act as the comprador of the big Eastern countries. Some stuck technologies can be solved by coming to me. If you spend one million hard-earned money today, you can earn an additional 100 million tomorrow. The cost of time is the most expensive.

As for how I got the owners of these technologies to let go, don't ask any more. The question is that MacMillan Financial Group has the world's first-class legal team and public relations team.

In Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands, and the Isle of Man, the eggs are not in one basket, not to mention it is difficult to bite the group. The only option is to fight against the umbrella company.

The Umbrella Company is investing heavily in the construction of Raccoon City in the Lighthouse Country, which will be the headquarters of the Umbrella Company in the future.

There, Pizza Hut is playing the legal protection umbrella!

In February, another piece of news made by the MacMillan family was that the Umbrella Sanatorium in Hogsmeade officially opened for business.

Before and after, Malfoy and other pure-blood families had ridiculed this more than once, claiming that this operation of the Macmillan family was a typical example of how no one would buy it even if they wanted to give money.

The reason is naturally not authoritative enough.

Who would trust their loved ones to a sanatorium that doesn’t even have a well-known witch doctor?

However, reality soon hit them in the face, and the business of the nursing home was very good. It’s so good that less than a week after it opened, the McMillan family announced that the second phase of the expansion will open soon.

Seeing this, Malfoy and his gang changed their story, saying that the MacMillan family paid for the favor and cheated to make money.

But as time went by, this argument became bankrupt.

The words of a patient's family are very representative and solve the mystery of the booming business of the nursing home: "Of course we hope that our loved ones can be cured, but compared to this, we would rather see the summary of the healing process of our loved ones. Enjoying care instead of suffering."

To put it bluntly, there is a huge difference in concept between the Umbrella Sanatorium and the government-run Baiya Sanatorium.

Umbrella nursing homes emphasize 'service', which is nothing new in this world. They are just like nursing homes, but the implementation is relatively in place and the management methods are also very advanced.

Such management and system services dwarf their counterparts in the British wizarding circle.

Just like Ernie complained about the Knight Bus: "The driver pretends to be a cool car, and the conductor is disheveled and has serious skin diseases like a drug addict. He doesn't know the so-called service, but he still thinks it's cool, what a fucking thing!"

A leaf knows the autumn, whether it is the Knight Bus or the Hogwarts Express, the service can be said to be at the 18th-level level in Ernie's eyes, which is a little better than the slapping and scolding service.

Therefore, what Umbrella Nursing Home does is service.

The White Cliff Sanatorium emphasizes 'treatment', but their treatment has the characteristics of the 'murder therapy' of the 19th century Europe, such as universal honey, universal bloodletting... and so on.

Of course, there are some differences because it specifically targets mental illness.

For example, universal electrotherapy, universal ice water stimulation (tied to a chair, using equipment to lie the patient down and put it into a pool to soak in ice water) and so on.

This kind of treatment is really not as effective as the removal of the temporal lobes of the brain on Shutter Island. Good people can be cured of mental illness if they go there.

In other words, it is simply legal to use wizards as guinea pigs to conduct research experiments.

Times are progressing, and the number of Muggle wizards has increased, which has promoted the exchange of information between the mortal world and the wizarding world. However, the official sanatoriums run by the Ministry of Magic still continue to use these cruel methods. Not only do they have to pay a lot of money, but they also require people to be grateful and clap their hands. Applause, isn't this bullying?

I would like to ask, how can people buy this kind of cure rate?

The treatment is incurable, and what you spend money to enjoy is fancy abuse. Therefore, if there are some methods, the patient will not be sent to Baiya Sanatorium or Baiya Special School.

Ernie had been eyeing this area for a long time.

Now that MacMillan has shown his muscles once, he needs to take a bite out of the cake of the British wizarding society.

And where to gnaw and how to gnaw are several technical tasks.

Ernie thought this sanatorium project was great.

You can eat more than one fish.

Of course, he didn't just do things based on his subjective will. He had fully planned for this and collected information.

Baiyabao, which integrates a nursing home and a special school, is not in good operating condition.

Like many government-run industries that lack effective management and supervision, they are poorly managed and overstaffed. They have become a money-making tool for officials and a blood-sucking thigh for people who want to eat and wait for the dead.

The Ministry of Magic will also call out from time to time because of this, but the interests behind it are complicated, and no one is willing to be the knifeman who cuts the pustule.

It just kept rotting, rotting into a heartache, rotting into a pile of dead debts and bad debts that no one dared to take on.

In this context, Umbrella Nursing Home took over this business in a different direction. This is an important prerequisite for the Ministry of Magic to relent.

As for the public, in the past, the government had a monopoly, and people could only recognize it by pinching their noses.

Now that there are more choices, Ernie believes there will be no shortage of people who are brave enough to give it a try, and word of mouth will soon spread.

This is true.

It was an instant hit, and before long, even pureblood families came to compete for beds.

Purebloods who are superior to others have a stain that they are ashamed to mention, that is, incest.

There are many deformities in close relatives. Whether it was before or now, early detection and early treatment are the key.

He was already dead before he was born.

But the question is, if physical deformities can be detected and dealt with early, what about psychological ones?

After raising him for several years, I discovered that he had a problem with his IQ or his soul was not sound.

The foolish son of a rich man.

Killed? To be honest, I really don’t want to part with it because it has the function of continuing the family lineage.

Especially in modern times, the problem of rare pure-blood families is actually quite serious.

After all, you may not necessarily be a wizard when you are born, but you may also be a squib.

So now the Umbrella Nursing Home ensures that the problem can be taken care of resolutely, and even if it can't be cured, it can be kept fat and healthy. This is much better than being locked up in a small dark room at home.

The latter is not only more expensive to take care of, but also more annoying.

If you send it to Baiya, you will be killed. Why do you choose this?

The MacMillan family also solved the employment problem of many squibs. As a result, it created a wave of goodwill among the public.

This is also a major reason why the Ministry of Magic is willing to relent.

Most of these marginalized people who cannot cast spells but know a lot about the wizarding world are worse than Filch, the gatekeeper of Hogwarts.

But because his memory is too closely related to the wizarding world, the problem cannot be solved hastily by forgetting it all. That will only turn the person into a complete idiot.

These people all have wizard relatives. Who in the Ministry of Magic has the consciousness to be blamed?

Therefore, if the MacMillan family is willing to arrest this group, it will reduce the burden on the Ministry of Magic. Contribute to the improvement of the administrative image of the Ministry of Magic. To put it more bluntly, these are all political achievements.

In addition, the MacMillan family not only did not ask for money for this, but also gave money in return. Fudge did not dare to disagree, fearing that this rich and incorrigible beep would be blackmailed after he finished pretending to be a prostitute.

Subtly influencing and binding, the MacMillan family is using its sincere and pragmatic performance to erode the authority of wizards and dignitaries, and even magic...
