All things are three at Hogwarts

Chapter 1124 New Conference Room

The conference room in Harris's new house in the middle of the Black Lake is different in style from the entire mansion. As a first-time visitor using it for the first time today, the first impression when arriving here is that it is a bit small because there are only 300 people here. Seventy-seven seats, but no one knows the real number, because the blue benches do not use armrests to separate each seat, so it may be able to squeeze in more people and some who have studied magic. People recognized that the seamless expansion of this room was controllable, so when it was no longer possible to sit down, it could theoretically be expanded into more space, enough to ensure that all participants had a place to sit.

There is a long bronze line running through the debate hall under the front rows on both sides. They are about the length of three broomsticks apart to ensure that the two sides of the debate will not start moving their hands if they disagree. The conference hall is a triangular structure instead of the common semicircular structure. In such a triangular debate hall, the area near the north side is where the Harrises sit, while the other two sides can be freely and conveniently used for debate, discussion and decision-making. Because for individuals, the so-called left and right positions are easy to change, but passing through Behavior at the speaker's desk requires careful consideration.

The wizards sitting on the left and right sides were not only the senior leaders of the Umbrella Group, but also the family forces that had followed the Harris family before and the wizards who were the first to get close. Those wizards who stayed in Germany also came from their hometowns to sit there. In front of those new wizards.

As the patriarch of the Harris family, Owen's seat is unique. It is located on the central axis of the north face of the triangle. This patriarchal chair is seven feet high. The top of the seat is engraved with the Seal of the All-Seeing Eye, as well as a raven head carving. It looks very comfortable with its armrests and footrest seat, and is stuffed with bird feathers that are usually used to make fine quills.

In the entire seemingly symmetrical conference hall, there is a separate chair with a different direction from the other benches at the entrance. Penelope Clivat is sitting on this chair with her wand raised. She is responsible for uncontrollable control at the venue. Under the circumstances of the scene, she suppressed the riots at the scene and maintained order and safety. At the same time, she was also the only wizard who could hold the wand in this room. However, judging from the current situation, this more represented the ritual giving of red The umbrella department presides over a ceremony and honor.

The meeting has been going on for a long time, but although these wizards looked a little tired, they looked very excited. Mrs. Letizia Krivat, who was sitting in the middle seat on the left, looked at her husband from time to time while he was answering Owen's questions. Taking a look at the special position where her daughter was sitting, she realized that the Harris family valued and respected Penello, which made her feel very satisfied.

"Revising the law must also take into account the changes in physical location and the impact of the energy core caused by the city's current ascension state..." Although Mr. Crevat attended the wizard meeting for the first time, he had already given instructions to the Muggle officials. He didn't seem nervous after serving for a long time. "The completed beginning also needs to be reworked and checked... This is not something that can be solved in a short time... We have to avoid loopholes..."

Hearing that the revision of the law had not yet been completed, the red-nosed wizard Grimson and the old guys beside him looked at each other silently. Although they did not dare to say it clearly, these old stubborns still understood what each other meant. These Muggles are far more efficient at work. Unlike wizards, it took so long for the law to start, and it also had to be redone because of the floating city...

Lunn, who was sitting not far below Owen, stood up: "Father, Flippe... Mr. Crevat has tried his best. In fact, seven laws have been formulated before this. I personally think they are far more rigorous than ordinary wizard laws." There were more, but things changed and Mr. Crevat decided to start over..."

Hearing the meaning of Lunn's words, the red-nosed wizard Grimson and the old guys beside him looked at each other silently. Although they did not dare to say it clearly, these old stubborns still understood each other's surprise that these Muggles actually put The law has caused such trouble. They have never heard of any magical world's laws that were revised seven times before they even started...

And more wizards were silent in the audience, but their hearts were shocked. Listening to this tone, Owen seemed to have plans to replace all laws, and they couldn't imagine how their big boss could pass so many laws in the British Ministry of Magic. Even though Harris now controls the Ministry of Magic.

"Mr. Crevat, your rigor is admirable... This is not a rush. You have enough time to make it perfect. I hope its existence can change some bad habits in the magical world..." Owen said to comfort himself, then looked away and asked , "So, next topic, how is the international response now, John?"

John Bartha stood up and adjusted the round glasses on his face: "It's not clear yet. The magic governments in many countries are not so efficient. They have not made decisions and just become a mess... But a few days ago, the International Magic Government The Cooperation Department received a delegation from Madame Maxime, the representative sent by the French Ministry of Magic... They seem to hope to formally establish a more friendly cooperative relationship with the British Ministry of Magic..." Mr. Bassa paused, "Their real intention is to use the British Ministry of Magic to The official power of the Ministry of Magic... On the line between Harris and Hogwarts, Madame Maxime expressed the attitude of their ministers. The French are willing to use some of our optional sacrifices in exchange for nuclear technical support... .”

"No need to say more about this good news..." Owen said in a deep voice, "John, tell me something more imminent. In addition to this kind of country that is trying to have good relations with us, what are the plans of those opponents?"

"Minister, many countries have not yet reached a final conclusion, but there are only three overall plans. Those neutral factions who feel that the matter has nothing to do with them are already a minority in the magic world and after the rise of the floating city. They just want to attack us. They are willing to pay the price and give up... Of course, more countries are not convinced, and they are trying to unite to put pressure on us to make us surrender..." John looked up at Owen, who was looking up, and saw that he didn't respond, so he His blond curly short hair shook and he continued, "Germany has banned the transportation of magic potion herbal raw materials, and many African countries have also banned the sale of magical animals to us... and have begun to try to pass bills to allow the separation between their country's businessmen and the protective umbrella. Orders and transactions have been made illegal..." Mr. Barcelona nodded to Penello, who was sitting by the door of the conference room. "In addition, according to the report of the Red Umbrella Department, they seem to be trying to contact pure-blood families in the UK to take advantage of Huo After Gwarts floated, he stayed at the original site of Hogsmeade Village and supported them in the matter of Umbrella's alleged monopoly. He tried to use this method to force us to compromise. In addition, they seemed to have formed an alliance and strengthened each other's influence. trade orders to reduce economic losses.”

Discussions erupted in the conference room. Although Harris's internal leaders knew some of his own forces' plans, many people seemed not to be prepared for such a tense relationship with the magic community around the world.

"Everyone, be quiet." Mr. Basa pressed his hands down, and the wizards who were still arguing with red faces looked at the patriarch's confidants.

"Everyone, what follows is our response." Barcelona waited for the scene to quiet down for a while before speaking calmly, "In the face of trade protectionism and extreme pressure from these countries that want to unilaterally bully, we plan to It's very simple, just to counterattack cleanly... As for the ban on sales... we will contact his competitors such as the second venue and provide some tariff concessions to ensure that we get their orders as a replacement... If it is from certain countries Special products, our method is to give some benefits to third-party countries...pay something, and use them to meet our basic needs..."

"It's a good plan. Don't think about making money at this moment. It is more beneficial to us to pay some benefits in exchange for time... But we must be careful about the conditions we pay. Many countries will take advantage of the situation or use favors to make us compromise on core issues. "Irving nodded, and then said in a loud voice, "Trade friction will indeed bring us some pain and trouble in the short term, but in the long run, after we survive the transition period of nuclear energy, we will start mass production of magic items. It's time... that's when the countries that are trying to suppress us pay for themselves..."

Irving's answer shut up some wizards who were opposed to Barcelona. They are basically famous in the manufacturing industry. Although they have been nominally integrated by the umbrella, in fact these business wizards are still very disgusted with this kind of trade war. Yes, but since the patriarch set the tone, the entire conference room is still silent and there are no opponents.

Owen glanced at everyone and nodded: "Then, let's start the next discussion..."

"Wait! I have something else to report! About the TV station!"

Xenophilius twisted up without waiting for anyone else's reaction. He had dressed up specially for today, and put on the egg-yellow robe that was the same color as his hat. The color was dazzling, and his white hair was also braided. His braided hair hung down on his shoulders. He straightened the long tassel of his hat on his head, stood up, and saluted as if inviting others to dance.
