Chapter 373 Negotiation Completed

Just when Bolig and Ragnow were still thinking about the profound meaning of Schelling's words, Schlark's eyes suddenly widened. A very terrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind, and he trembled. Then he said: "Mr. Malfoy, do you mean..."

Xie Lin nodded and said softly: "Well, just as you thought, Voldemort was beaten away by me - if you goblins choose to cooperate with me, you don't need to worry about the threat of Voldemort."

"Of course, protecting you is not without cost. In terms of profit distribution from the business cooperation on armor and armor, I want to take an additional 10% of the profits."

Silk swallowed before saying, "If only 10% of the profit can be exchanged for the safety of the goblin clan, I think there is no problem."

"Also, when it comes to defeating Voldemort, you, the goblin clan, don't want to sit idly by. After launching a full-scale war, you also need to send people to join the war. If the number is too low, I will not approve it..."

"There's no problem with that either."

"Although Gringotts is a business organization independent of the two major light and dark organizations of goblins, I believe you still have a certain influence on it - Voldemort has hidden something in Lestrange's vault. I I need your help to get it out. This is crucial to the plan to eliminate Voldemort, and it will also be beneficial to you. "

"Okay, I have close friendships with many senior people in Gringotts. This matter can be left to us..." Slack paused for a while, as if he had made some determination, and said with firm eyes: "Not only that, I can also promise that if we can achieve all the cooperation mentioned before, from today on, Gringotts will open the door to you without violating the interests of the goblin family. "

Xie Lin secretly admired Slack's decisiveness. Slack's promise can be regarded as a great show of goodwill - opening the door of convenience actually means that in the future, it will not cause trouble to Gringotts. Next, you can cooperate with Xie Lin to let him enter anyone's vault.

"Since you are so cooperative," Xie Lin said with a smile, "then I can't hide my secrets. I have in my hand a list of evidence of the secret conspiracy between the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters in the last Wizarding War. If you operate If done properly, it will be enough to usher in a major reshuffle in the Ministry of Magic, and then there may be reforms, or at least a certain degree of progress, for all the unfair systems and laws that the goblins have faced over the years..."

The faces of the three goblins finally showed shocked expressions.

Slack quickly exchanged glances with the other two goblins and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Malfoy, our goblin clan has expressed a strong willingness to participate in all the cooperation you propose - I am here to represent all the goblin clans in the UK. You promise that you will gain the friendship of our fairies, and we will cooperate with your actions to the best of our ability!”

mission completed!

Although Xie Lin completed the task easily while chatting and laughing, in fact, the negotiation with the goblin was not easy at all.

In the wizarding world, most wizards hate goblins simply because they think they are greedy, insidious and cunning.

Only those who truly understand them will understand that this is actually a difference in beliefs and values ​​between races, as well as a gap between races that is difficult to eliminate.

For wizards, the basis for the establishment of a society lies in a certain degree of mutual trust. For example, wizards must believe in the management capabilities of the Ministry of Magic and the fairness of the legal system before they are willing to elect ministers in voting elections and pay taxes.

The same is true for commercial transactions. General business transactions require integrity. It is impossible to carefully and literally sign a magic contract for every small transaction. This is not practical.

But goblins are different.

Goblins only talk about interests and not about integrity. They have no concepts of "keeping promises" and "spirit of contract".

In the original book, Harry Potter saved the life of the goblin Griphook, but Griphook took him to Gringotts to get the sword, then called the goblin from Gringotts and ran away with the sword.

Harry and others naturally regarded the goblin's behavior as a kind of betrayal, but they never thought that Griphook's behavior was actually out of distrust of Harry and others (in fact, all human wizards).

Newt Scamander from "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" went to a goblin bar in New York, and the bar owner threatened to report him to MACUSA. In the end, Newt was forced to agree to a deal with him, provided that the goblin would not report him. As a result, as soon as the goblin finished the transaction, people from the Ministry of Magic came, not taking it seriously at all, and blatantly breached the contract.

These examples are enough to prove that goblins are a race without any contract spirit. This can only be attributed to the fact that over the past more than a thousand years, the distrust between the two races of wizards and goblins has grown to the point that no one can break it, not even Schelling.

It is definitely not advisable to be honest with goblins. Only a fool would do that.

What, you are talking about those fan protagonists who dared to snipe at Gringotts' financial system, and the goblin still lost money in the end. Those protagonists are naturally not fools, they are Long Aotian! The real fool is actually...well, let's not say it.

What can restrain goblins is never the feeble promises they say, but the naked interests, interests that are enough and abundant enough to make people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.

Only by tying their interests to one's own, forming a relationship of mutual benefit and mutual loss, can it be possible to make goblins willingly cooperate with oneself, cooperate with one's actions, and even work for oneself or serve oneself to a certain extent.

Schelling is well aware of this, so he will throw out one cooperation agreement after another that the goblins can hardly refuse, so that the cooperation between the two sides will be closely integrated step by step.

In general, Schelling is quite satisfied with the results of this negotiation. In addition to gaining the friendship of the goblins, he also obtained the right to visit the vault of Gringotts.

In this way, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, the Hufflepuff Cup, can be solved in the near future.

The Lestranges are still in Azkaban, and Voldemort certainly does not want to expose the fact that he has been resurrected in the short term, so Schelling can definitely get the cup before them.

In addition to the above gains, the most important thing is that the secret list that Schelling threw to them at the last minute was actually intended to use the goblins to remove the corrupt worms in the Ministry of Magic and pave the way for his future reforms and plans. He could even stay out of it and let the goblins bear the anger and hatred of the victimized wizards. For Schelling, it was a very clever way to kill with a borrowed knife.
