378. School board seats

Old John is having a meeting.

This is his 12th meeting this month, but this time is slightly different from the previous eleven.

These old pure blood families in the British magic world gathered again and specially invited him to attend the meeting respectfully.

They had actually sent two invitations to Old John, all of which made him refuse on the grounds that the company was busy and had no time.

And this time he felt that these people were almost out of the way, so he finally agreed to the invitation to attend the meeting.

The United Company has been completely finished now. These pure-blooded families can be said to have only underwear left, but at this meeting, they still smiled and did not dare to give Old John a ugliness.

"We always feel that you have spent so much effort to pull us into this set. It's impossible for you to just do the business in the UK, right?"

Malfoy was elected as the representative this time and was responsible for leading the negotiations with John the Old.

"Your industry is almost everywhere in Europe, and even the former British magic market has at least 10% of your market share.

The entire British magic market seems to be quite small to those of us, but in your eyes, you should not look down on this place at all, or even if you like it, it doesn’t take so long to get it.

So, Mr. John, what exactly do you want from us?”

Upon hearing Malfoy's question, Old John slowly took a sip of the hot tea on the table.

"I said, I didn't pull you into any traps. This is how it is to do business. If someone makes a profit, someone will definitely lose. You can't imagine that you have always made a profit and never lose money, right? If there is such a good thing, why bother to worry about doing business?"

Even at this time, Old John was still unwilling to admit that the United Company was actually his trap.

He is not stupid at all. He can fool him by playing with conspiracies in business as long as he is not caught. But if he admits himself that this is a situation he sets up, it would be like self-destruction.

If someone uses something to record the sound at this time, it will be a problem even if it will not affect the matter that has been a foregone conclusion.

The people sitting on both sides of the table gritted their teeth at Old John's pretending to be confused. They didn't know how many old foxes he scolded him behind his back, but they were helpless.

Malfoy still looked very well-educated. He did not show any dissatisfaction and said to Old John.

"Okay, let's admit it!

You are right. As long as we make money in business, we will naturally lose money. This time, we are unlucky and will lose money. But we still have to live our lives in the future and we have families to support.

This time I want to consult Mr. John, what should I do to recover our losses and allow us to live a normal life in the future."

He put his posture very low, and his tone was like Old John was a bully who forced a good man to become a prostitute.

In fact, in a sense, such a metaphor is not wrong.

Old John tapped the table gently with his fingers and spoke slowly.

"Everyone has lost money here, and I can understand your difficulties and situations. After all, even if I lose all of them, as long as there is no problem with the parent company, it will not be considered a trauma. But you have indeed lost all your family business..."

He seemed to be thinking, or weighing something.

The heads of these pure-blooded families were in the same mood as those of Old John's fingers knocking on the table now, and they didn't fall down for a long time.

Finally, after pondering for a while, Old John continued to speak.

"I do have a way to get you back some of the losses."

Everyone sitting held their breath and listened to him to speak out.

"After experiencing this failure, I became very interested in the senior management of Lunjiade Company, so I met with the chairman of their company through someone's introduction.

Although he caused us heavy losses, it is undeniable that he is indeed very business-minded and powerful, so we had a great conversation."

When others heard what he said, they felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.

I have never heard of anyone having a good conversation with him.

"After that I mentioned your current situation with him, and explained that you are all local snakes in the British magic world. If he still wants to do business here in the future, it is best to make a good relationship with you.

After all, I will be in the UK from now on, and everyone will look down. He also agreed with me and decided to open up some markets that originally belonged to you and return them, and also provide you with some funds."

Hearing what he said, none of the heads of the Pure Blood Family showed joy on their faces, but instead frowned deeper.

It is absolutely impossible for Old John to find out that he is so kind. If he had such a kind heart, he would not have evolved into the current situation.

The more things returned to them, the greater his intentions.

"This kind of good thing is definitely not unconditional, right?" Malfoy asked tentatively.

"Of course not." Old John did not deny it. He spoke directly about his request. "The chairman likes children very much, especially helps children improve their education, so he wants to exchange all the seats on the Hogwarts Magic School Board of Directors in the hands of everyone who sits."

Until this time, these people really knew what the ultimate goal of Old John was.

From the beginning, he came to the UK just for this. Whether he tricked them into a joint company or swallowed up all his property, he just wanted to get a seat in the school board of directors in Hogwarts to lay the groundwork!

The heads of the Pure Blood Family were silent for a long time, and no one spoke first.

Because the school board seats are not something they can easily give up, it is difficult for each of them to make such an exchange.

"We agreed."

Finally, when everyone was silent, Malfoy spoke for them.

Old John didn't feel any surprise at all.

Hogwarts' school board seat is important, but if they don't even have their property, they can't afford to support this position at all.

Anyone can see the choices in this middle clearly.

Old John had a smile on his face, and he immediately took out a few pieces of parchment and distributed them to everyone's hands.

"Since that's the case, then everyone will look at this contract. If there is no problem, just sign it on it?"

Malfoy took the contract, took it seriously, and then looked at Old John again.
