Chapter 26 My Super Power Is: Rich
Several pure-blood wizards representing their respective families discussed how to deal with the madly rising Shafik family.
The smell of smoke in the room is exactly the smell of black hemp.
At present, there are three kinds of products on the market, one is exquisite shredded tobacco, which is fragrant and fragrant, moist and slightly moist, and it is first-class.
There are also ordinary products, which are not as good as high-quality products, but they are cheaper.
The cheapest is the tobacco leaf, you can take it back and tinker with it yourself, whether it is good or bad depends on your own craftsmanship.
Relevant derivative sales have appeared, such as Old John's black leaf hemp, full moon secret tobacco, etc. There are new tobacco shops in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, and smoking has quickly become a new fashion.
It is precisely because they are well aware of the pros and cons that several pure-blood wizards gathered here to discuss. They are very worried that in another year or so, the Shafiq family will completely become a behemoth, and they will completely lose the ability to fight against it, and will be reversed. Come and liquidate.
"What about the reason that the magic secrets of the two families still have black magic that needs to be banned?"
"The dust has settled a long time ago, and they have been reviewed one by one."
"Or on the grounds of doubting that there is still some kind of secret book. Otherwise, where did the formula for the magic tears come from? Where did the formula for the unique potions sold by the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce come from? No one believes that an eight-year-old child is such a genius. Besides Sharing profits, how can I earn more by myself? I believe many people will be tempted."
"The Shafiq family is no longer what it used to be, and it's not something that can be manipulated at will. Everyone has to consider the consequences of missing the next blow. Who will bear the revenge of the Shafiq family?"
"Of course we carry it together?"
"You mean all of us have to tear ourselves apart from the Shafiq family, and find an excuse to break into the Nozawa Garden Dachatcha? Do you think such a proposal can be passed by the parliament? The Shafiq family was ransacked before, that is The last time, and since then, there has been no legitimate reason to do so."
Another person said: "Breaking this rule means that all families will no longer have privacy. If you want to check, you can check it. I think the International Federation of Magic will be very happy to see such a thing, and maybe it will send a face to Britain. Jinqi, they can finally find any reason to search our mansion."
"We can frame, smear, and stab those righteous people."
"A righteous person is not the same as a fool. Why do you believe that the Shafiq family will not follow such a good path and engage in crooked ways?"
"We can start with the black hemp to show that these things are related to Death Eaters or something. There is some kind of shady contract behind it, so there is such a business. For example, ask the potion master of the Shafik family Show your identity."
"Well, that seems like a way..."
"Wait, interrupt." The blond old man said: "I'm sorry, the matter has developed to this point, and I don't want to get involved any more. Looking at the grievances with the Shafik family, I don't think it's serious enough to get involved with the family. the future of."
"Short-sighted, if you don't kill him while you can, you will be killed when he gets up."
"Even if what you said is right. I have been operating this matter before, my hard work and dedication, whether you have seen it or not, I know it myself. I personally and my family are worthy of this alliance. Also I didn't leave any evidence for confirmation. Now I want to stop the loss, that's all." Saying this, the blond old man stood up, paid his respects, took the coat from the hanger, opened the door and left.
"Is this the former golden lion?" Someone snorted.
After a moment of silence, someone said: "The reputation is still there. I believe what he said. If he said he didn't leave anything behind, then he didn't. He won't gamble with his family's future."
"what do you mean?"
"It means that we are now playing the second card. What is the advantage of winning? What is the disadvantage of losing? What is our advantage? How high is the winning rate? You may wish to calculate. Even if you encourage others to do it, please consider us What can I give to the other party,
And whether the other party will be bought back by Shafiq's family. You must know that it is really no longer the orphans and widows of the past. From a certain point of view, being rich is equivalent to having magic power. I believe you all know this. "
"It's too late for no profit, huh?"
"Of course, if it's just because Nozawa Garden Castle and Exmoor Villa failed to get it, and you feel ashamed, you must get it back. Then I won't accompany you. The investment is high, the risk is high, and the return depends on it. It is impressive, but one is that it is easy to make wedding dresses for others, and the other is that the success rate is not high. The latter is really important, I don’t like to lose, and I don’t like to gamble, especially gambling on family property.”
"I think we can really do it from the perspective of a pharmacist. We can encourage the creator of the Sorcerer's Stone, Nicholas Flamel, to make him curious about the identity of this potion master. If the Shafik family shirks , then it means that this master of potions is probably shady, let's find a way to do it."
"Who still knows the whereabouts of that legendary figure?"
"Dumbledore probably knew."
"Then what are you going to use to convince today's leading white wizard?"
"Financial support for Hogwarts, and concerns about the sudden rise of the Shafik family."
"You mean we make things clear this time?"
"Of course, there are many people who are popular. When the Shafiq family becomes a celebrity, they must have the awareness to expose themselves to the spotlight. Clean money is not easy to earn."
This proposal was finally passed, and a series of operations began in full swing.
First, through the "Daily Prophet", "Sunday Evening Post" and other publications, I expressed my congratulations and concerns. Worried about the Shafiq family being used by bad guys or something.
Such rhetoric is naturally disgusting. When people are in trouble, you turn a blind eye to them. When they are prosperous, their humanistic feelings will flare up. You feel that the money is not coming from the right way.
In addition to the previous successful whitewashing, there are also benefits to the popular will.
The price of the products of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce to British wizards, except for the limited quantity, is definitely a conscience price.
Now there are people who specialize in the private buying business, buying black hemp and magic tears from wizards and selling them in the Muggle world. In this way, wizards make money, and those who buy and sell money also make money.
So much so that there are shameless wizards who ask their children to buy them too. The limit is for people, and if one more person buys it, he will make more money.
The Weasley family just plays like this, even Ron and Ginny have a share, and even if there is no good channel, the money they earn is still much higher than Arthur's monthly salary. The rope around the Lai family's basic living expenses was loosened a lot at once.
It can be said that the Shafik family is throwing money at the wizards of the entire British wizarding community, and most of the 30% share is used for this. People can’t think of anyone who can be more generous than them, and they can’t buy people’s hearts. It can only be said that people's hearts have been eaten by dogs.
For the "care" of the dignitaries, the Shafiq family also changed its old weak image, and also responded with newspapers: sincerely thank you for your concern. The Shafiq family is generous and clean, without fear of doubt and slander. It might as well be funded by the Shafiq family, invite the patriarchs of each family to participate, and play truth or dare with powerful veritaserum, who is willing to sign up?
The powerful wizards immediately lost their voices collectively.
Truth or Dare, apart from the Shafiq family who surrendered themselves and were questioned repeatedly, and their home was ransacked, who would dare to participate? There are no dirty or black things, but there are also shameful things, dare to go up?
Not long after, the second bad news came, the plan to use money to attack Dumbledore failed.
Offending the Shafik family, and involving Nicholas Flamel, Dumbledore must be so stupid to do such a thing.
What's more, the Shafik family sent money privately, and he didn't forget the chief mage of the Wizengamot.
What people support is not Hogwarts, but the Order of the Phoenix.
This semi-secret civil society has always been known for being poor. In recent years, even the funds for normal activities have been scarce, and Dumbledore needs to find money to support it.
Dumbledore was not a money maker.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the support of the Shafiq family is a timely help.
Voldemort is not dead, everyone knows that.
But having been safe for so many years, many people can no longer hold back. The dazzling aura of the righteous leader of the White Wizard makes many people feel that it is an eyesore.
They can't move Dumbledore's banner of justice, but they try to reduce its wings more and more frequently, the Order of the Phoenix. In this year alone, the need for the existence of the Order of the Phoenix has been discussed twice.
The Shafiq family expressed their position: The Order of the Phoenix is a society of like-minded nature, but the hobby of this society is such a lofty concept as 'justice and love'.
The Shafiq family has tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships, and now that they are capable, they are willing to encourage this hobby, so that there is more justice and love in the world, isn't it good?
Well, the reason for sending money is so grand that Dumbledore would be embarrassed not to accept it.
The Shafik family is so good at life, if Dumbledore used the money of the powerful to do things, would he still have the nerve to call it the "White Wizard"?
Money can turn ghosts. When Kane didn’t take it for pleasure but brandished it around as a tool, the people in the wizarding world who were slashed by Money fell on their backs. It is estimated that Voldemort would have to cry and faint in the toilet when he was reborn...
