Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

Carl was very clear that these words were spoken to him, and at the same time he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

So he quickly changed the subject and continued talking with a smile, pointing at the TV.

"Let's watch this big show first, and then study it in detail. We..."

"From what you said, this election is nothing more than a game of capital, and the so-called democratic spirit and the brilliance of humanity contained therein are irrelevant."

"Isn't this a complete scam?"

Cedric interrupted Carl's speech a little angrily, as a Hufflepuff who was kind to the point of being naive.

Even after going through so much with Carl, he still believes that there are always some real spirits in this world.

In fact, before he came to the United States, he had high expectations for this most powerful country in Muggle society.

And indeed, in the cities of this country, he felt the kind of vitality that he had never felt before in the Crimean Peninsula and many European countries.

But now, according to what this annoying guy said, the general election, which is the core of democracy, has completely turned into a scam full of conspiracy.

This was a little hard for him to accept.

"I didn't expect your understanding to be so profound." Kevin Lestrange praised with a hint of sarcasm.

"Your summary is very profound. It is indeed as you said. This political game is a scam to a certain extent."

"Benjamin Franklin, a famous statesman in this country, once said."

“You can fool all the people some of the time, and you can fool some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”

"This is simply a joke. After all the elections, it's still just these two parties. One day, the American people will be asked to choose between two piles of shit."

"Pick a president for your country."

"You...if reality is really as you say, then why should we continue to watch this boring hoax."

Cedric couldn't accept it even more and shouted angrily.

"It's really wonderful." Kevin Lestrange finally turned around and looked at the other party, continuing to complain and speak sarcastically.

"What a boring scam! What a profound and accurate comment! You have directly cursed everyone here with this sentence."

"We certainly won't take part in a frivolous scam unless it benefits us, dear Mr. Diggory."

"We also bet a lot on this bet. Don't forget that press conference. You saw it with your own eyes."

“Karl is just using them. He would never get involved in such a despicable thing.”

Cedric said firmly, looking at Carl

"Did he promise you?" Kevin Lestraki pretended to be surprised, and then looked at Carl, who was already a little uneasy.

"Such a noble idea really impressed me, Mr. Hohenzollern. I didn't expect you to be so courageous."

"So, do you want to earn the $500 billion through moral means or legal means?"

"Just tell me, I'll follow your instructions."

"If you ask me, you should be placed in Slytherin House. You and Professor Snape will definitely become close friends in language arts."

Carl looked at Kevin Lestrange with a forced smile, and there was even a hint of request in his eyes, hoping that the other party would stop talking.

"Is there any difference between moral and legal means? And where did the 500 billion US dollars come from? What's the matter with this number?"

"How come I haven't heard of this plan? Besides, Carl doesn't need this money at all. He is already rich enough."

"Even if he wants to earn it slowly, I can help him."

"Really?!" Kevin Lestrange raised his voice deliberately, making the sarcasm in his words even stronger.

He even gave Carl a look that said, before turning back to Cedric.

"So you didn't tell him. I'm really flattered."

Then he stared at Cedric and spoke seriously.

"You don't even know this number. On the day of the press conference, Mr. Hohenzollern told me about the future plans."

"I thought that such an important plan would definitely inform you first. After all, your friendship with him is longer-lasting."

"But now it seems there is some misunderstanding. He may have said he forgot to inform you."

Hearing this, Cedric was struck by lightning, and almost dropped the half cake in his hand. He looked at Karl with disbelief in his eyes.

Carl was about to explain.

Kane Lestrange spoke first.

"Hold the cake in your hand tightly, and don't drop it on the ground. You have to remember that you are in such a remote place."

"It costs you nothing to make a cake of this quality. I remember we had about $56 in our account before."

"This money suddenly disappeared a few days ago, and I was wondering where it was spent. Now it seems to be in your hands."

"This is a very expensive gift. You can also hear that your Mr. Hohenzollern is not so wealthy anymore."

"The amount of money in his account right now is zero!!"

"What?" Cedric looked at Carl in confusion.

Carl looked at the two of them helplessly, scratched his head, and then spoke directly.

"Don't doubt your ears. It is just as Mr. Lestrange said. I don't have a penny in my account now."

"But don't worry, it's definitely not because you've eaten me out of money. Even if your stomach is big, it's impossible for me to go bankrupt because of eating."

"The vast majority of my liquid funds are basically used to invest in our company's industrial lines."

“A large sum of money was used to purchase the land we are on now.”

“This house cost nearly 10 billion?”

“So expensive!!!”

Kevin Lestrange and Cedric looked at Carl at the same time, their eyes full of interrogation.

Karl looked at the two people and always felt that something was wrong. Why did he feel like someone close to him was asking him where he spent his money and whether he had hidden some private money?

But in order to avoid too much unnecessary conversation between the two of them, he spoke directly.

"It's not the house we are in now, it's the entire mountain range where this house is located, and all the forests and lakes around it."

"I bought this land from the state government in the name of nature conservation. In the future, it will become a nature reserve for magical animals."

"It is not to provide the necessary raw materials for our pharmaceutical industry. This is also the promise I made to Hagrid a long time ago."

"You know I keep my word and I will never break it."

“I knew Karl wouldn’t lie to me.” Cedric nodded with great satisfaction when he heard this.

"Yes, he won't lie to you or to certain people. He doesn't keep his word and is still biased."

Kevin Lestrange, with a look of disdain on his face, muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Let's just watch TV!!"
