Homecoming from Hogwarts

When Amosta raised his hand, everyone at the conference table immediately quieted down, as if the anger they had just shown was just a joke.

The marchers looked at Mr. Blaine pleadingly.

Although the target of their previous criticisms also included the most powerful wizard of the contemporary era, now, they are more eager than ever for Mr. Blaine to be the "master" for them!
Reporters, onlookers, employees of the Ministry of Magic and several young wizards present.

All eyes were on Amosta.

This kind of special pressure, to some extent, is even heavier than fighting against Voldemort!

Amosta's eyes were fixed on Narcissa's face. He could feel the tension and panic in this woman's heart.

"Let me confirm with you first. At present, the only difficulties we face in resuming work at the workshop, which is our goal that we must achieve as soon as possible, are the ones you just mentioned, right?"

Amosta oppressed everyone with his gaze, and also made his voice clearly heard by people.

"Can I understand that if the problems just now can be properly solved, resuming production and work will not be a problem?"

Gollum—
Narcissa's cold throat moved, and she nodded hesitantly. The other participants no longer hesitated after seeing the Malfoy family's statement.

As the saying goes, the law does not hold everyone responsible.

If we have to shut down, we all shut down together, and if we have to reopen, we all do the same thing.

Neither the Ministry of Magic nor the mysterious man will kill everyone!
"very good--"

Seeing everyone expressing their opinions, Amosta nodded with satisfaction.

Tap, tap--
Tapping the table with his fingers, Amosta said calmly,

"Let's talk about the fact that the world's magical civilization is pessimistic about the turbulent situation in the British wizarding world recovering in the short term.
Regarding the domestic disputes and turbulent situation, I cannot promise you, nor can I promise the world's magical civilization, how long it will take to calm down. Will it take a few months, or will it last for many years like last time?

But no matter what, the basic life of the people in this country still needs to be guaranteed. Whether they are producers or consumers, they need all the materials closely related to life to continue to be produced. No one can tolerate the high price of twelve silver Sickles per ounce of Floo Powder. "

Several of the attendees wiggled their buttocks nervously.

Floo Bang, the company that produces Floo powder, is too large to be owned by just one company.

"The Ministry of Magic is also obliged to ensure that these materials can guarantee the most basic supply, so--"

Amosta said calmly,

"You don't need to worry about production orders. Next, the Ministry of Magic will set up an International Trade Department, which will directly place orders with the workshops you run."

Narcissa's eyes froze.

The Ministry of Magic. International Trade Department places orders directly to the workshop?
what's next?

The Ministry of Magic will definitely not hoard the supplies. They will take them to the market and sell them at a relatively reasonable price to stabilize the market.

Narcissa's heart was moved.
"What price will the Ministry of Magic pay for the products produced by each workshop?"

“Calculated based on the average price of your shipments to the domestic terminal market over the past five years.”

Amosta said with a smile, while Narcissa fell silent.

By doing business in this way, the workshop will not suffer losses, but the Ministry of Magic will surely make a profit!
In other words, the Ministry of Magic became the agent of each workshop and obtained the sole authorization.

The market is short of supplies, but the Ministry of Magic does not have to worry about not being able to sell the supplies it has. The Ministry can dynamically adjust the order quantity according to market demand.
Both parties knew that the turbulent situation did have an impact on sales, but it was a complete lie that there were no orders!

The Ministry does not need to make any market forecasts at all. Many terminal sales at home and abroad will come directly to the Ministry of Magic to place orders. All the Ministry of Magic needs to do is transfer the orders to the workshop.

Cunning and scary!
Narcissa's eyes flickered as she looked at Amos Tower Blaine with fear, even though he was smiling silently.

This move directly exposed their lies, and, by the way, it also won huge benefits for the department and greatly strengthened the department's voice.

Because if all the orders for the workshop come from the Ministry of Magic, it undoubtedly means that the Ministry of Magic can decide 100% of their production share, that is, efficiency!
It would be fine if this was a short-term policy during wartime.

But if they continue this production model after the war, it means that the Ministry of Magic will take control of all their workshops without bloodshed!

Many people blushed. Apparently, they all saw the trap behind Brian's proposal!
"Your proposal is truly brilliant, Mr. Braine—"

After a few quick breaths, Narcissa calmed down. The corners of her mouth tightened.
"But I have a question, I wonder--" "Please go ahead, Mrs. Malfoy--"

Amosta said gracefully.

"This plan does have a certain degree of possibility, but...excuse me--"

Narcissa took a breath.
"This policy of the Ministry of Magic seems to be aimed at stabilizing the domestic market, but you should be aware that this can only ensure that the workshops we run maintain the most basic activity. Without the vast foreign market, many workshops, including the Malfoy family, will inevitably shrink severely, which means..."

Narcissa glanced at the eager civilians behind Brian.

"We still need to make large-scale layoffs to ensure that we can obtain meager profits"

"Oh, Mrs. Malfoy, you are so pessimistic—"

Amosta's smile deepened.

"The reason why the workshops you all ran before could not accept international orders was because the tense situation in the British wizarding world could get out of control at any time, and you all ran private businesses and lacked security, which led to the interruption of cooperation.

But the Ministry of Magic's overwhelming victory in the Battle of Diagon Alley was enough to restore some confidence in the wizarding world in the international market."

"Some is not enough, Mr. Blaine—"

Narcissa said sharply.

"The Ministry of Magic will take the initiative to negotiate with all parties to attract orders for the workshop. The British Ministry of Magic will endorse the transaction. I think this is enough to reassure the international market--"

In business activities, Narcissa undoubtedly has more experience and knowledge, but Amosta remains calm and handles it with ease.

"In addition, for every international transaction, the Ministry of Magic will cooperate with the insurance department that Gringotts will soon establish. The Ministry of Magic will provide insurance for the transaction, and if war or any force majeure causes the goods to be unable to be delivered on time, Gringotts will compensate both parties for their losses. I think this will satisfy all parties."

Amosta said with a smile.

Gringotts' insurance business?

Not to mention Narcissa, everyone present at the meeting looked confused.

Before this, they had never heard of this business in Gringotts.
After a little thought, Narcissa had to admit that Brian's plan was simply excellent.

The British wizarding government endorses it, and if any accidents occur, Gringotts will also provide compensation.

Narcissa seemed to see that the reception hall of the Ministry of Magic was crowded with wizards from all over the world who came to seek cooperation!

The workshop's business will surely flourish more than ever before!
There was regret in Narcissa's eager eyes.

The only drawback is that they must be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, and they cannot work alone.
They had already said that the workshop was closed due to lack of orders, so Amosita suggested that the Ministry of Magic intervene in the transaction.

“And what about the funding?”

Before he knew it, Callum had forgotten his position, his face was filled with intense interest.
"Do you intend to persuade Gringotts to grant us a low-interest or interest-free loan to support the initial operation of our workshop?"

"Oh, about that--"

Amosta slowly leaned back in his chair, a subtle smile on his face.
"My idea is for the Ministry of Magic to directly inject funds into your workshops."

Direct capital injection?

Callum was stunned.

"You mean, the Ministry of Magic wants to invest in our workshop?"

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Amosta cleared his throat, finally revealing his true intentions.

"That's right--"

Amosta smiled and nodded, raising his voice slightly.
"It's an investment. In order to protect the basic livelihood of the people, since the workshop lacks working capital to support the workshop to resume production, the Ministry of Magic should lend a helping hand, of course -"

Amosta paused for a moment.
"The ministry is not doing charity, the ministry must control a portion of the shares"

Looking at the silent crowd, Amosta smiled calmly.
"That makes sense, doesn't it, everyone?" (End of this chapter)
