At the Diagonal Alley passenger platform plaza, those participating in the emergency consultation meeting were all maintaining silence, staring at their desks in front of them as if trying to see flowers.
The Ministry of Magic invests to purchase shares of the workshop.
Narcissa's lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she still maintained silence.
In terms of fact, it is quite normal for workshops and companies to seek financing.
Many of the well-known businesses in the British magical world today were essentially initially founded by a single pureblood family.
But after decades, even centuries of mergers and expansions, no one can invest in a business alone.
Basically, it's a case of "you in me, me in you."
Take the Ministry of Magic for example, some of their industries in the United Kingdom are not solely controlled by the pureblood family. Instead, they cooperate with multiple parties or even foreign capital partners. However, they remain the largest shareholder in the workshop's equity structure.
These capital inclusions already encompass investments from some high-ranking officials within the Ministry of Magic.
Like Conor O'Malley, who had just been sent in by Amos Brundle, and Dolores Umbridge, whose own and behind families are themselves related to the relevant interests, they have always been guarding these famous workshops, both openly and secretly.
Take the Amelia Bone family, for example, who have some distant relatives who are also involved in sharing profits.
But!
Narcissa furrowed her brow and pursed her lips.
Does the Ministry of Magic in Britain establish a national trade department directly as an investor to participate in the in-depth management and operation of the workshop?
This seems to be a practice that no magical civilization government has ever done, whereas it's quite common in the Muggle world.
But in any case, this is definitely not good.
Everyone has such a consensus!
Many people glared at Amos Brenn, sitting there with a smiling face, with their eyes darting between him and feeling a bitter resentment in their hearts.
Amos Brenn's proposal is not about helping workshops to resume production, as they don't need help in that aspect.
Likewise, Brenn's help is not just to open source for the Ministry of Magic, but he wants to. consume the commercial empire built by pureblood families for centuries!
"By the way."
Amos smiled, with a casual tone as if they were just chatting.
"Once next month, the first thing the Ministry of Supervision will do is to require all senior employees of the Ministry of Magic to clear their equity assets, and from then on, senior officials will not be allowed to make such investments."
Each of the participants looked expressionless.
This is to cut off the deep-seated interests between Ministry of Magic officials and those they are related to?
This alone won't be enough!
The chaotic thoughts of the attendees were all captured by Amos Brenn's powerful mental energy.
Of course, Amos knows that this measure will not have a significant impact, but he can only adopt the method of boiling frogs slowly.
The current Ministry of Magic faces many internal and external issues, and he can only adopt mild means to gradually advance.
If he is too drastic, not only will he not gain support, but he himself might immediately become as infamous as Voldemort!
Thinking about it to this point.
Amos was grateful to Voldemort for his existence.
It is because of the existence of Voldemort as the greatest disruptor of order in the British magical world that his actions do not seem so 'heretical'!
"Then, what do you all think?"
Amos asked.
Narcissa's fists were clenched, her teeth biting down hard, as she struggled against the immense and vast pressure from Amos Brenn that was like the mighty mountains and rivers of Hèzhu.
Do we really need to consider that?
If given a choice, no one would agree with Brenn's proposal!
But with everyone watching, do they have a choice?
If they refuse, they must give Brenn a reasonable explanation to the entire magical world, otherwise, their workshops and companies will never have a chance to reopen!
After all, they have said that shortages of orders and inadequate liquidity problems are in front of everyone, and now Brenn represents the Ministry of Magic to provide a reasonable solution. However, they refuse to accept it, which is simply not justifiable!
Moreover, really, did Brenn just make it a kind gesture to bring up the fact that Minister Amelia Bones was attacked before he started this negotiation?
If they dare to refuse, the Ministry might soon announce to the entire magical world that they are 'conspiring' with Death Eaters and plotting to kill the Minister of Magic!
Amos Brenn is not Dumbledore. He definitely can do this!
Many of the attendees were thinking 'bitterly' in their hearts.
Moreover, how could they not know that running such an enormous commercial empire necessarily involves treading on legal taboos?
In the past, as long as there were good relations with the top management of the Department, they would turn a blind eye to it.
Now the situation is different.
Perhaps they can use the method of 'destroying both the good and the bad' to involve the Bones family, making Minister Amelia Bones hesitate in office.
But Muggle-born Amos Brenn is bound by no taboo.
They have no hold over Brenn and cannot kill him.
Being betrayed by a mysterious person!
The operators who are deeply concerned about the operation of their family's industries shouted in anger in their hearts, including Narcissa. She could now foresee that Brenn would not stop here, and the family's industries in Britain might end up being less than one in ten!
"Please allow me to ask another question, Mr. Brenn--"
Narcissa's voice suddenly became hoarse,
"The Ministry of Magic plans to inject how much capital into each workshop, as well as"
Narcissa's breath quickened a few times.
"What proportion of the equity they intend to take?"
"Oh, don't put it that way, Mrs. Malfoy--"
Amos smiled and said cheerfully,
"It's as if the Ministry of Magic is plotting your assets, hehe"
Amos laughed heartily a few times, but no one else could laugh.
"Regarding your question just now--"
Seeing his 'joke' didn't work, Amos coughed awkwardly twice,
"The Ministry's finances are also tight, and we can't afford to provide much support."
"Our goal is only to ensure that workshops can resume operation and ensure daily operations, which will be determined by experts from the newly established National Trade Department after conducting research on each company's situation. As for the share price,"
Amos paused for a moment, thinking deeply.
"Similarly, the National Trade Department will work with financial experts from Gringotts to negotiate and finalize it with all of you."
The attendees breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
Although the noose was already around their necks, Amos Brenn's intentions were that he did not intend to swallow them in one gulp, including flesh and bones, in the short term!
"May I ask, who will head the National Trade Department of the Ministry of Magic?"
Narcissa thinks further, and she asks sensibly.
"It will be headed by Pierre Crouch, who is currently the director of the International Cooperation Division, Remus Lupin as his deputy, and Gerulion Barnes, Chairman of Gringotts International Branch, as the advisor—"
Amos Brenn casually dropped another big news without a hint of emotion!
Spit, dirty werewolves and an old, worn-out green ape!
Narcissa spat in her mouth and then nodded.
"That is indeed a wise decision, Mr. Brenn."
"Then, I think we have reached an agreement, aren't we?"
Amos stood up from his chair, smiling at the attendees who were following him up one by one.
"We have overcome all kinds of difficulties and strongly promoted the restoration of the former prosperity of the commercial and industrial sectors in the British magical world?"
Seeing that the cameras were aimed directly at their faces, the attendees reluctantly gave a smile that was a mix of crying and laughing.
"So, we need a protocol to bear witness to the consensus reached today!"
Amos said joyfully, as he drew his wand and waved it, conjuring a feather quill inserted into an inkwell and a document with a black cover embossed in gold.
The large document appeared on the conference table.
Narcissa glanced quickly, and the feeling of suffocation immediately returned.
She noticed that the various provisions discussed today were already written out in the book!
As the cheers grew louder on the platform square, one by one, attendees who were 'heartily willing' to sign the agreement under Amos's joyful gaze. Finally, this document was placed in front of Amos.
At this moment, even Amos couldn't help but feel a slight tremor in his heart!
He looked at the elegant signatures on the paper, took a deep breath, picked up the feather quill, and signed his name in the last blank space.
You will change the magical world.
After signing his name, Amos looked at the 'Square Agreement' with gold-embossed letters, smiling as a thought crossed his mind.
