The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

And Dolly's next words made him cough violently.

"I have a sworn enemy, his name is Draco Malfoy."

"He always mocked us for being a Muggle family and not having the status and wealth that a wizarding family should have."

"And I'm going to get a piece of goblin silver right now and take it to Hogwarts to taunt him and make him realize that he's the one who has nothing at home."

Dolly looked furious, while Serrano covered his head.

It subconsciously thought that Dolly was talking nonsense. After all, the behavior Dolly had just shown made it difficult for people to regard her as an ordinary child.

However, after thinking carefully about all the information he had obtained, Dolly was indeed a first-year student at Hogwarts, and the reason for her performance was...

Thanks to Dolly's gift of prophecy and the fact that she comes from a Muggle family, she has a different understanding of economics and finance than wizards.

As for whether Dolly was actually a first-grade witch, Serrano rubbed his brows and his expression gradually relaxed.

There is actually no need to worry about the answer, and one can even accept this reality quite easily and happily.

Because this means that Gringotts can enjoy Dolly's extraordinary talent and wisdom when working with her, and at the same time give Dolly a very large reward for a first-year little witch to satisfy her.

It is equivalent to hiring an expert with predictive ability at an intern's salary. Why not do it?

After thinking this through, Serrano's expression stabilized.

As for whether there is a real secret behind Dolly, what does it have to do with these fairies?

What the goblins have to do now is to protect Gringotts. This is the goblin clan’s last resort.

As for the rest, let the wizards worry about it themselves.

"I can agree to your condition, but the fairy silver will have to wait..."

"No, I won't wait."

Dolly interrupted Serrano and said, "I need to see the goblin silver before I can give you any advice. As for the type, it would be best if it were a weapon, such as a two-handed greatsword..."

Serrano felt like his brain was about to explode. He jumped onto the table and said, "Two-handed sword, why don't you want a Mithril Chariot?"

"Is it okay?" Dolly's eyes lit up. Why were the fairies so generous?

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Serrano slapped his head and no longer wanted to communicate with Dolly.

Two-handed sword?

How dare she think!

Even if you melt all the goblins' stocks, it may not be enough!

Fairy silver relies on the power of magic, not the strength of the material itself.

Therefore, goblin silverware has always been a very thin layer. The only two-handed sword is a treasure made more than a thousand years ago. It is still the honor and regret of the goblins.

That sword is, of course, the Sword of Gryffindor.

"That two-handed sword won't work, but a tower shield and full plate armor will do. I'm not picky about a complete set of silverware!"

"Don't even think about it. At most, a small round shield..."

Serrano regretted what he said because he noticed the change in Dolly's eyes.

Dolly was not completely clueless about the price and production of fairy silver, and she had never thought of actually getting something like the fairy silver tower shield, which sounded so weird.

She really wanted a piece of goblin silver, but she also didn't want the goblin to just give her a half-hearted favor.

Serrano wanted to struggle again, but Dolly looked at the clock, as if reminding Serrano again that time was running out.

This time Serrano was silent. It was just a piece of goblin silver. They could afford it.

The most important thing is that you can't really do nothing, otherwise it will be impossible to do business.

After all, it is not an ordinary fairy, but is responsible for the foreign investment and trade of some fairies. These are of course matters that cannot be disclosed to the outside world.

This also means that Serrano can appropriately curb the greedy nature of the fairies, otherwise who would be willing to treat them as partners?

"I can promise you that, Miss Dursley."

"A small round shield, a masterpiece made by a goblin craftsman two thousand years ago. But after you get it, you must solve this crisis for us, otherwise we will definitely take it back."

"I suppose you don't want to become completely hostile to Gringotts from now on, right?"

Dolly shrugged and said, "I still have school to go to, and I need to exchange pounds for gold galleons from you."

"That's good, Miss Dursley."

"You will receive our silverware tomorrow at the latest, and I hope you can come up with a suitable solution by then."

"That's natural."

Serrano nodded and was about to leave.

However, Dolly's words at this time made Serrano's face turn pale - although its face was originally green.

"By the way, Mr. Serrano. I should have made it clear that this goblin silver buckler is just what I requested for this cooperation."

"If there is a next cooperation, we will talk about it later."

Serrano practically squeezed the words out through his teeth and said, "Ms. Dursley, we have already agreed that you will take 10% of the profits from future cooperation."

"Okay, don't be angry, Serrano. We all know that there may not be a next time, and the amount of profit is up to you. I can't really check your bills."

"I can only grasp the immediate benefits. If you are not willing to do this, then our cooperation will be limited to this time."

Serrano was silent for a moment and nodded.

Because although it can have countless reasons to fool Dolly, it cannot deny that Dolly is right.

It was planning to trick Dolly in the next cooperation, since they were the ones who decided the profit anyway.

The goblins can fool the entire Ministry of Magic, so why can’t they fool Dolly?

But if Dolly continues to ask for the fairy silver, then it will be difficult to deal with, after all, fairy silver cannot be deceived.

As for why it was goblin silver and not the more practical Galleons or gold, that question is no longer important.

After all, goblins are unwilling to give anything. Gold Galleons and goblin silverware are all made by them, and gold is their lifeblood.

There is not much difference here.

Serrano picked up the silver badge, clicked his fingers lightly, and disappeared, apparently returning to Gringotts.

Harry immediately opened the Invisibility Cloak and reappeared, sweating profusely from having been inside for so long.

This scared Vernon and Petunia. They looked at Harry in surprise. Harry smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, this is a prop my father...my parents left me. I can use it to protect my sister."

Vernon immediately laughed and gave Harry a thumbs-up.

Harry's performance just now did make him realize that his change of attitude towards him was correct.

But then, Vernon came to Dolly and asked worriedly, "Dolly, is it really okay for us to get involved in this? You could have refused."

"That goblin silver, is it so important?"

Dolly nodded and said, "Dad, I won't hide it from you. Harry might be in danger."

Harry's face was stunned. He was in danger?

Isn’t it my sister who is in danger... Oh no, it’s him, that’s right, it’s him!

Harry pursed his lips and nodded, looking frightened under Dolly's gaze.

Vernon's face changed, and he recalled the special identity of Harry.

Harry is the savior of the wizarding world and the one who killed Voldemort. He will definitely be hated by Voldemort's men and remnants.

Vernon had come to appreciate this after a trip to the wizarding world and seeing so many people in the pub talking to Harry so enthusiastically.

"So, a handy piece of goblin silver can keep Harry safer."

Dolly winked at Harry, and Harry took the blame.

Dolly had no pressure in doing this, because the attacks by Quirrell and the trolls were originally caused by Harry's identity.

Now Dolly is just using Harry's fame to expand her armaments, and she dares to speak loudly for this reason even in front of Dumbledore.

Vernon took a deep breath and looked at Harry with complicated eyes.

Harry also realized something and looked at Vernon, worried that Vernon would be furious at the next moment, thinking that he had implicated his daughter.

But Vernon just reached out his big hand and touched Harry's head, saying, "I'm very satisfied that you siblings can support each other, but I don't know how I can help you."

"Dolly, you can really handle this trouble at Gringotts Bank. That's 100 million pounds!"

Dolly nodded in Vernon's uneasy eyes and said, "Don't worry, Dad. It's not a big problem. It's not like we're the ones paying for the 100 million pounds."

"This matter may seem serious, but it's not that serious."

Dolly didn't say much, but smiled and said, "Let's go. It's time to go to Chinatown for dinner. I'm really looking forward to the Chinese food there."

Dolly didn't say much, not because she didn't trust Harry and her family, but because she wanted to be sure they could hear something.

Since the goblins can come to our door, it is inevitable that they will collect information in other ways.

All Dolly had was an information gap, and she couldn't really solve the problem by herself.

So what exactly is the information gap?

The answer is actually quite simple.

The collapse of the Soviet Union and Russia's adoption of shock therapy was undoubtedly like dropping a huge nuclear bomb on the world.

People couldn't understand what was happening, and the panic and shock were even more powerful than the shock therapy itself.

In a panic, Gringotts wanted to urgently withdraw funds worth 100 million pounds. Other consortiums were doing similar things, which made Russia, which had insufficient foreign exchange reserves, unable to cope.

The natural result was that Russia started the war directly, and no one could withdraw the funds. It was not until a few months later that order in Russia was gradually restored and things started to improve.

Of course, this is not the whole story of information asymmetry.

Compared to the initial panic, the Western world was quite optimistic about Russia's reforms, at least in the first two years after Russia adopted shock therapy.

After all, it was still 1992, and the Western world had just won the victory against the Soviet Union and was at the peak of its confidence.

Now they really think that freedom and democracy can save everything and make Russia a member of the Western family. As long as they get through the initial painful stage, everything will be fine.

The evidence is that many countries and international organizations have provided economic assistance and technical support to Russia, even if there are people with ulterior motives among them, just to temporarily paralyze the nerves of the Russians.

But these have at least calmed market sentiment in the short term and attracted some long positions and investments in Russia, which means that the funds in the hands of the goblins are actually a hot commodity for others.

After all, entering the market first means seizing the initiative, and now that Russia's capital inflow and outflow channels are almost cut off, this 100 million pounds of funds can be said to be quite attractive.

But again, although Dolly knew this information and intelligence, it would be difficult for her to do it herself.

But she happened to know someone who could do this, and that was Qiu Zhang's father.

Although I am not familiar with him and I don’t know whether he has enough ability to really accomplish this, this is actually not a big problem.

Even if Dolly failed, Gringotts couldn't really put the blame on her.

If mistakes are caused by believing in prophecies and the person who made the prophecy is blamed, then the thousands of prophecy balls in the Ministry of Magic mean that thousands of prophets have been killed, right?

There aren't enough wizards in the whole of Britain for the Ministry of Magic to kill.

To put it bluntly, believing in the prophecy of a little witch is Gringotts' own problem.

Of course, Dolly will not make only this preparation.

If Qiu Zhang's father really couldn't do it, then Dolly would tell Gringotts about Russia's next series of economic intelligence and let Gringotts find someone to deal with it themselves.

With Gringotts's connections, it's not difficult to accomplish this.

Therefore, from this perspective, Dolly also deliberately took care of Qiu Zhang's father's business to give her future father-in-law the opportunity to make it bigger and stronger.

This can be considered as... well, the betrothal gift to Qiu Zhang!

Next, the family finally went out and came to Chinatown in London, England.

Along the way, Dolly and others did not feel much of the impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union. After all, there were few people on the streets.

But once you get to Chinatown, the atmosphere immediately changes.

It seemed that every household’s television was broadcasting this news, every newspaper seemed to have the words “collapse of the Soviet Union” written in large letters, and even people on the street were discussing this matter in Chinese.

Some were gloating, some were grief-stricken, but more were in disbelief, unable to understand how such a huge country could disappear overnight.

But this has nothing to do with Dolly and the others.
