Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

235. Chapter 235 The wealth of the Black family

    Because of the full purchase of Firebolt, Sirius received a ticket from the store owner for the Quidditch League in all competitions next year, a full set of ten, all special seats.

    The Quidditch League is the abbreviation of the British and Irish Quiddich Super League, which is blocked by the best 13 teams in the magic circle.

    Unlike the simple confrontation between Hogwarts four houses, Quidditch League is a professional game.

    They have a high level of competition and face the world to collect players.

    Gryffindor Quiddich Captain Oliver · Wood's biggest dream is to join Puddlemere United after graduation and become a professional player.

    At school, he always brought you the latest game news of Puddlemere United. The articles submitted to Hogwarts Magic are all about this, discussing the new tactical analysis used by Puddlemere United and so on.

    Because I usually hear Wood say more, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione are also looking forward to seeing what the professional league looks like.

    They reviewed the schedule for next year and found that on the first day of the New Year, there was a match between Puddlemere United and Wimbourne Wasps.

    Because this is the first Quiddich competition after Christmas, the two teams have a high voice, and there are many reasons for the Quiddich World Cup next summer. The popularity of this game is very high, and it is hard to get a ticket. Thanks to Sirius. Arrived in the package.

    After discussion, everyone decided to go to the game before going back to school, and by the way invited the entire Weasley family.

    Ivan went down the stairs. These are the things that he needs to accomplish during the rest of the Christmas holiday. It is most important to improve his own strength.

    The first floor of Leaky Cauldron was a mess, and there was no Christmas atmosphere last night.

    Almost overnight, this tavern has returned from a lively Christmas party to a small, dirty look that hasn't been cleaned for centuries.

    However, there is no unpleasant smell in the air, but it is full of the aroma of food.

    Innkeeper Tom stood behind the dilapidated bar and was frying a sizzling roe. After seeing Ivan, his face showed an ugly smile.

    "Good morning, Mr. Mason! ”

    – Good morning.Ivan made a greeting.

    In the eccentric hall not far away, Lupin, Sirius, and Hermione have already got up. They are sitting around a round table and eating breakfast, happily discussing something.

    It seems that Ivan will come in the same way, they have prepared a breakfast for him.

    "it's just right, Ivan, we're talking about you!" ”Seeing that Ivan came in, Sirius waved his hand and motioned to sit next to him and said straight away, "I just heard Remus and Hermione say, are you planning to rent a house in Diagon Alley?"

    “Correct.”Ivan nodded, do not know why Sirius mentioned this matter, he took Hermione handed over the milk, while explaining that, "i have carefully considered, if want to further expand the Hogwarts Magic" sales and influence, like "Daily Prophet" will Newspaper headquarters to Diagon Alley is a must do, so it is easy to Professor Lupin management … "

    "So, have you chosen a location?"Sirius asked, “The rent at Diagon Alley is not cheap, it takes a large sums of gold Galleons !”

    Ivan shook his head, in fact, this was his headache.

    Although in the past two years, "Hogwarts Magic" has a high advertising revenue, Ivan has made a lot of money, but at the same time his expenses are also very large.

    Not to mention the sponsorship fees for Fred, George, Hermione, and other young wizards, but the vast majority of Flourish and Blotts' collection of precious magic books and large purchases of potion materials cost most of them. Income.

    Ivan can now use about two hundred gold galleons. The money can only be selected in a remote place, just hope that the location is not too biased.

    The most frustrating thing is that he can't spend all of this money.

    Ivan must leave part of it as a daily turnaround for newspapers, as well as the necessary magical test materials to buy, and things that need to be upgraded…

    In the promotion of magic power, the amount of money that needs to be spent is completely bottomless.

    Don't say two hundred gold galleons, just give him two thousand gold galleons, not enough for him.

    Ivan sighed, no matter which angle he looked at, he had to find a project that could make money for a long time and make a lot of money.

    Although the operation of newspapers can be profitable, it is far from enough. The main purpose of operating newspapers is to enhance influence and control public opinion. It is secondary to making money.

    Moreover, the income of "Hogwarts Magic" has reached the bottleneck, and it is difficult to have a big improvement in a short time.

    As for practical profitable projects, Ivan only knows one at the moment.

    That's the Weasley prank product developed by Fred and George, and they are very popular with other young wizards. If you don't have an accident, you can even become the biggest prank product brand in magic circle. Making money is not a problem.

    The problem now is that if you want to realize all the ideas in their heads and open up the market, you still need a large sum of gold Galleon investment.

    Ivan doesn't have the money, Fred and George are less likely to have it. All of their previous research and development costs are almost sponsored by Ivan.

    Also, if you want to open a joke shop, you also need to rent a shop in Diagon Alley.

    All the problems have returned to the original point. They don't have enough money at the right place in Diagon Alley to rent a suitable store.

    The Weasley joke shop was put back, but the newspaper headquarters was imminent and must be resolved during the Christmas holidays and could not be delayed until next summer.

    Ivan has calculated that a location is not too remote, depending on the surrounding situation and the flow of people, the annual rent is between three hundred gold Galleon and five hundred gold galleon.

    This means that he must at least find a way to get two hundred gold galleons.

    Ivan is ready to set the specific store first, and the money on hand can be used as rent. If there is no way at the end, in his personal collection, there are a lot of precious magic books and some potions that have been refining, you can sell some first.

    But Ivan wouldn't do it without a last resort.

    He was thinking about getting two hundred gold galleons quickly, and even if he reached out and asked for his family, his parents would not give him so much money at once.

    I just want to borrow money, and I can’t borrow it.

    Whether it is the entire Weasley family or Lupin, Harry, Hermione, Ivan, these people are relatively economical and can even be called difficult unless…

    Ivan suddenly thought of Sirius. Although he was detained in Azkaban for 12 years, as the sole heir to the noble and oldest Black family, he still has amazing wealth that is unimaginable.

    From the fact that he casually bought a Firebolt for Christmas as a Christmas gift, he could see it. He was not bad at all. A few hundred gold Galleons were not a problem.

    Ivan's eyes lit up and he didn't wait for him to open his mouth and heard Sirius continue.

    "I can help you with regard to the house. If I remember correctly, the Black family has several stores in Diagon Alley. It is a legacy of ancestral heritage. If you need it, you can use it at any time."Sirius said indifferently, "If you are still there, you will be idle. If you rent out, I have no time to manage or collect rent."

    When I heard Sirius' words, Ivan suddenly stopped. He just raised the idea. The other party has already raised this matter. Obviously, there is already a plan for this. It turns out that he just said this with Lupin and Hermione. Something.

    Ivan hurriedly thanked Sirius, but the other party said that these things don't have to be on the mind.

    In Sirius's opinion, this little rush to provide several stores is nothing compared to what Ivan did to help himself.

    Because time is too long, Sirius can't remember the exact number and location of the store.

    When Harry arrived, they discussed it for a while and decided to go to the Black family in Gringotts' vault after breakfast to find those deeds.

    Ivan is also very curious about the Black family's vault, and he wants to see how amazing the wealth that the pure-blood family has accumulated over the past millennium.
