At this moment, Rita Skeeter looked at Harold who was talking in front of her, and couldn't help being shocked by the Witch Party's plan, and a huge wave of emotions rose in her heart.
It seemed that the Witch Party had not only extended its tentacles into the Ministry of Magic, but now it was also extending its tentacles into the entire financial system of the magical world! Looking back at the current Ministry of Magic, Rita Skeeter sighed inwardly. She knew too well what kind of people those guys in the Ministry of Magic were.
He is ambitious, greedy, and good for nothing.
No matter how she looked at it, Rita Skeeter felt that once the Wizarding Party completed its layout in politics and finance, the Ministry of Magic would be crushed by the Wizarding Party in the future.
Thinking of this, Rita Skeeter no longer hesitated and immediately said, "Mr. Harold, please allow me to express my gratitude for your contribution to the wizarding world in my personal name! At the same time, I promise you that once your bank opens, I will deposit all my assets into your bank!"
After hearing what Rita Skeeter said, and thinking about the pattern of the Deathly Hallows that Rita Skeeter had just drawn on her chest, Harold thought that this was also an arrangement by the Witch Party.
So, Harold immediately held Rita Skeeter's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you for your support and trust, I will definitely not let you down!"
Seeing this, many wizards around spoke up one after another, saying that they would also deposit their property into Harold's bank like Rita Skeeter, and the atmosphere on the scene became lively again.
At this time, Rita Skeeter suddenly asked:
"By the way, Mr. Harold, what name do you plan to give your bank?!"
Harold was stunned, and carefully recalled the somewhat tongue-twisting name that Wentworth told him before he left, and then slowly said, "Let's call it the Central Bank of the Magical World!"
Although she was somewhat confused about the name, Rita Skeeter did not question it, because she knew very well that this name represented the will of the Witch Party.
Now that she has made up her mind to stand on the side of the Wiccan Party, Rita Skeeter feels that as a professional journalist, the only way for her to gain the trust of the Wiccan Party is to be a lackey.
So, with the idea of promoting Harold Bank, Rita Skeeter continued to ask:
"Mr. Harold, when do you plan to open your bank?"
Harold laughed, then spread his hands and said:
"This is a big deal. Although I have decided to take the lead in doing this, I will definitely need your help. I have decided to visit a few old friends in the next few days and ask them to help me complete this big thing!"
"After that, we will begin preparations and strive to have the Central Bank of the Magical World open for business and serve everyone within a year!"
Just as Harold stood in the crowd for the first time, introducing the central bank of the wizarding world to the wizards, at a corner of Diagon Alley, Wentworth and Cassandra, as well as Green and Cedric, were quietly watching everything in front of them.
Seeing that the plan was going so smoothly, Cedric still couldn't believe it and said, "They believed it. They actually believed it? Don't they have any doubts at all?"
Cedric: “…”
On the other side, Cassandra asked with some doubt:
"Wentworth, I have roughly understood how this bank operates, but there is a problem that I still can't figure out. That is, how can you guarantee that the wizards who borrow money will pay it back? What if they run away with the money?"
Hearing Cassandra's question, it was Wentworth's turn to be confused. He looked at Cassandra in surprise and said in disbelief:
"In this day and age, is there anyone who still dares to owe the Black Society... No, is there anyone who still dares to owe the Witch Party money? Do you think that the Witch Party's great reputation in the entire magic world was achieved by benevolence and righteousness?"
Hearing Wentworth's words, Cassandra lowered her head in embarrassment, and Wentworth continued:
"If you want to borrow money from our bank, you must mortgage your property if you have one. Wizards can run away, but you can't run away with your property, right?!"
"And those wizards who don't have houses, they didn't just pop out of stones, right? They must have relatives and friends, right? Let those wizards find their relatives and friends to act as guarantors! If the wizards don't pay back the money, let their relatives and friends pay them back!"
"If you really have nothing, not even any relatives or friends, as a wizard, you must have at least one wand, right? Then, sell their wands at a low price. If the wands cannot be sold, just dismantle the core and sell it!"
"With the remaining money, we will let those wizards who owe debts work in our Wizard Party's industries around the world! We are reasonable people and will pay them wages, but we don't provide food and accommodation! The cost of their food and accommodation will be deducted from their wages! When their debts are paid off, we will let them go!"
At this point, looking at the strange looks of Cassandra and others behind him, Wentworth sighed and said with some self-blame: "Alas, I am still too kind and cannot stand seeing bloody things. We in the Witch Party are also kind-hearted! If this happened in the Muggle world, these guys who owed money would at least be splashed with paint! Maybe, they would even have their tendons cut or something. I actually provided them with jobs. I am really too easy to talk to!"
"Of course, if there is someone who can run to a place where even the wizard party can't find him, then I would consider him capable! Although I don't believe that such a capable wizard would fall to the point of needing a loan."
Looking at Cassandra and the others who seemed to be thinking deeply, Wentworth sighed in his heart. What a pity! The magic world is still not open enough. Otherwise, he really wanted to create a stock exchange or something like that. That thing would really rob people of money! Bank? It takes too long to make money!
At this moment, Rosier suddenly appeared behind Wentworth and said, "Fudge has left the Ministry of Magic and is now heading to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Sorrow to visit Thomas Reveau!"
Hearing Rozier's words, Wentworth nodded and said:
"He's finally dared to come out of the Ministry! I thought he would at least hide until Scrimgeour came back from Scotland!"
"Let's go and meet the Chairman of the British Ministry of Magic! By the way, continue to monitor the other families, we will visit them separately later."
