Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Maybe it was Zhang Xu's words that made him very satisfied. Umbridge smiled and said to Zhang Xu: "What is it, Mr. Zhang? I think we can discuss with each other."

Umbridge had a feeling of "my advantage is great, I can convince him" at this time.

"We have fully studied theoretical knowledge, but there are still differences between theory and practice." Zhang Xu said, "If we don't practice enough, I don't think we can master magic defense."

"I think," Umbridge said, "as long as you learn the theory very solidly, this is not a problem."

"But theory must be connected with reality, Professor Umbridge." Zhang Xu said, "Don't we need to be prepared to face all the dangers waiting for us?"

"Who do you think will attack a kid like you?" Umbridge said with a forcibly smile.

At this time, Zhang Xu shook his fingers and said as he counted: "When we were in the first grade, several of our classmates were injured by the dark wizard who sneaked into Hogwarts."

"In the second grade, the basilisk in the secret room was released, and many of our classmates were petrified. In the end, we painted a lot of effort to kill it."

"In the third grade, the Dementor broke into the Hogwarts campus and one of his classmates almost lost his life. Later, the werewolf army even attacked Hogsmeade collectively. It was the classmates and the residents of Hogsmeade. Blocked the werewolf's attack, and insisted until Minister of Magic Fudge led the Aurors to support."

"In the fourth grade, two outstanding student representatives from Hogwarts participated in the Triwizard Tournament, fighting against magical creatures such as fire dragons. In the end, one of the students won the championship. At the same time, the second dark wizard sneaked into Hogg. Maude became a professor."

Every time Zhang Xu said an incident, Umbridge's face became darker.

"This year, things like this won't happen again!" Umbridge said angrily.

Zhang Xu ignored her and continued: "We can't live on campus forever, Professor Umbridge."

"We were all witnesses to the riot at the Quidditch World Cup camp a year ago. A group of dark wizards destroyed almost the entire camp, and they finally attacked the spectator camp in our country. Although in the end they were defeated by our friends from Russia. , But the price paid is also heavy."

"I remember that the four floating in the sky at that time were obviously the marks of the dark wizard, and the Ministry of Magic still has no idea about three of them."

"Earlier this year, Mr. Barty Crouch, the director of the International Magic Exchange and Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic, was kidnapped by a group of dark wizards. The body of a Ministry employee was found in the back garden of his home.

Hearing this, Umbridge's face was as black as Snape's head.

The students were also frightened when they heard it. They suddenly felt that they were still alive and had a fortune-telling.

"Not long ago, thousands of corpses made by Voldemort hunting wizards and Muggles were known to the British government. The Minister of Magic, Mr. Fudge, was reprimanded by the British, and the Queen was also very concerned about this matter."

As soon as Zhang Xu spoke, the students in the class were in an uproar.

Except for Zhang Xu's name, the students knew this for the first time.

Umbridge also opened her mouth wide when she was surprised, and now she regretted why Zhang Xu had to say so much.

Only people in the small circle of the Ministry of Magic knew about Fudge's reprimand, but Zhang Xu broke the news in the public.

Zhang Xu didn't give Umbridge a chance to stop him from speaking, but continued to explode the news.

"On the day of the Triwizard Tournament, I believe that everyone did not see me, Professor Dumbledore and Harry Potter in the audience at the beginning. That was because Harry and I were conspired by Voldemort. Were kidnapped together."

"At the time, Karkaroff, the principal of Durmstrang, was a Death Eater before, but now he has rejoined Voldemort."

"We went to put the Goblet of Fire in the center of the maze that day, but Karkaroff turned the Goblet of Fire into a door key in advance. When Harry touched the Goblet of Fire, I was right by his side, and I pulled it at the last moment. Lived in his robe. Then we were sent to Voldemort."

"Later, I pretended to negotiate with Voldemort to delay time, so that Professor Dumbledore came and rescued us before Voldemort killed me and Harry."

"Then, Professor Umbridge." Zhang Xu finally looked at Umbridge's stunned eyes and said, "Can we only use theory to resist Voldemort and Death Eaters?"

After returning to their senses, the students in the seats whispered to discuss what Zhang Xu had just said. They watched the video about Voldemort's return, but it was the first time that they heard about the cause and effect.

Umbridge, who had also recovered, suddenly shouted hysterically.

"Ravenclaw deducts twenty points!"

"Lie! This is a complete lie!"

"If someone tells you that a certain dark wizard has come back from the dead and is active again, that's nonsense."

"The Ministry of Magic can guarantee that you will not encounter any danger from any dark wizard. If you still have doubts, please be sure to find me after class. If someone scares you with the ghost words of the dark wizard coming back from the dead, I would be happy to hear it. I'm ready to help you at any time."

"Mr. Zhang, starting this evening, at five o'clock, in my office, close..."

"Professor Umbridge," Zhang Xu interrupted her, "May I ask if your country has a tradition of confinement to treat truth-tellers? If you think I'm lying, I suggest that the Ministry of Magic will see you that day Voldemort’s Aurors were transferred back from the Falkland Islands to confront me. If your country punishes me for telling the truth, I am worried that something unpleasant to everyone will happen."

Zhang Xu, who had not yet sat down, made a gesture with his right hand when he was speaking, and then raised it slightly, almost flush with his elbow.

Several students who knew the meaning of this gesture suddenly exclaimed, and Umbridge immediately closed his mouth when he saw it.

What Zhang Xu made was a gesture commonly used by European wizards when bargaining. His right hand gesture now means a 20% price increase. If his right hand has raised his elbow, it means that the price is set. Up.

Umbridge and the knowledgeable students know that Zhang Xu plays an extremely important position in the foreign trade activities between the magic circles of the two countries.

The two countries gather for thousands of miles, and both buyers and sellers need an intermediary that both parties can trust, and Zhang Xu is the best choice.

Now Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is still the British general agent that monopolizes the import of magic materials from the Far East. Especially in the past two years, Zhang Xu has used his influence to expand the source of raw materials to Southeast Asia and the entire Northeast Asia. This allows Hogwarts to further expand its right to speak in the import market of magic materials.

And the two names signed on this general agency contract, one is Dumbledore and the other is Zhang Xu.

Except for Hogwarts, in the first two years, many merchants of the two countries signed the exporter-Zhang Xu-importer model when doing trade. From the contract, they sold the goods to Zhang. Xu, Zhang Xu and then sell to others.

So in theory, Zhang Xu can completely decide whether to increase the price of imported goods. Moreover, according to the contract, October of each year is the date of price negotiation for the second year. If Zhang Xu insists on raising the price of all commodities by 20% at this time, the final result is very likely to be a few points and finally increase the price by more than 10%.

If the upstream price increases on a large scale, the downstream dealers will naturally be under pressure.

If those families who made money with Hogwarts knew that Umbridge had caused their profits to decrease drastically, they would throw Umbridge as a scapegoat to Azkaban, let Zhang Xu calm down and lower the price. It became the first choice for these families.

Umbridge realized that Zhang Xu could not let him abuse his power to punish ordinary students at will~www.readwn.com~ If the other party also abused his power to retaliate against him, then the impact would not be able to bear.

Umbridge's face turned white when he figured it out.

"Please sit down, Mr. Zhang," Umbridge said frustratedly.

Then she walked to the podium and said to the students: "Okay, please continue to read the fifth page of the textbook, "Basic Principles of Getting Started"."

Zhang Xu, who sat back in his seat, didn't say much, took out the course and watched it.

After coming to Hogwarts for so many years, he finally had a chance to slap his face with the standard passers. .
