Gringotts has many routine financial activities.

Since Elder Leos judged everything to be normal, Boggart naturally wouldn't focus his attention all day on the vast reports from external employees. The occasional failure reports, lacking the coordination of the former manager Douglas, meant that he and another deputy director of Gringotts' Venture Capital Department had a dramatically increased workload.

However, the financial competition in the markets left behind by the former Soviet Union was, after all, one of the most important "large-scale battles" for Gringotts in recent years. Especially when one of the parties was the "traitors" from North America, the entire European Gringotts was doing its best to kill the opponent in this financial confrontation.

"War, whether it happens at the level of force or at the level of finance, is never about proving who is right. Its only purpose is to decide who gets to stay..."

These were the words spoken by Elder Leos half a month ago, and they are also the main atmosphere prevailing in the Investment Department today.

Heretics and apostates, the latter is always more hateful – as long as they can drag those who betrayed Gringotts' gold coins to hell, the Gringotts Council of Elders can even give up this once-in-a-lifetime profit opportunity and actively choose to lose money.

In fact, due to entering the game too late, European Gringotts did not have much right to choose.

In order to seize a sufficiently large market share from the chaotic market, Gringotts, forced to respond, had to invest a large amount of foreign exchange reserves and gold reserves, and quickly collect the remaining state-owned asset bonds and market hot money at a cost that was 20% or more above the prevailing market price.

The game in the non-magical financial market does not differentiate whether you are a goblin, a wizard, or a Muggle. It is like a huge casino. When everyone picks up their money bags and pushes chips onto the table, their identities become equal – except that there are bankers, lucky ones, and...

As time went by, the losses of European Gringotts began to become more and more obvious.

Although in theory, this was just normal early-stage capital investment before manipulating the market and reaping dividends, an ominous premonition, like a terrible Voldemort, gradually covered Boggart's heart with shadows, making it difficult for him to breathe.

For some reason, those investment failure documents from half a month ago were still on his desk.

Because they hadn't been reviewed or moved in recent days, they still maintained the previous data and hadn't been overwritten by the updated data files. This was actually a relatively rare oversight in Gringotts, which advocated efficiency.

Boggart, still the Deputy Director of Gringotts' Venture Capital Department, rubbed his eyebrows and, on a whim, picked up the initial contracts and glanced at them. They were all reports sent by energetic but inexperienced young people – if it were him back then, he would never have rashly taken the initiative to inquire about purchases without confirming the transfer of property rights.

"The former Soviet Union was divided into more than a dozen countries, covering too much area. The number of experienced professional goblin employees is definitely far from enough. Even with some Muggles secretly controlled by wizards, we can barely stabilize the situation..."

Deviation values and imperfect investments, these were discordant notes that had already been anticipated. Compared to these few failed investment reports, most of the reports piled on his desk were constant good news and successes.

After learning from the lessons of those few unlucky ones, the European Gringotts goblins chose to directly abandon any real estate and industry that Destiny Group intervened in, and instead packaged them as delicious bait to throw to the American traitors and those greedy Muggle capitalists.

Faced with Paracelsus, an alchemist with a Philosopher's Stone, the Council of Elders chose to temporarily avoid the confrontation.

Because according to Elder Leos and the senior analysts of Gringotts, Paracelsus was not interested in money at all. He hated gold the most, and naturally he was even less interested in non-magical power and capital – as a single immortal individual, Destiny's journey was limited, and they would soon withdraw from the competition due to their lack of financial knowledge and ambition.

Subsequent news proved that everything was as the Gringotts goblin council, led by Elder Leos, had judged.

Destiny Group from Austria, with an almost unreasonable momentum, waved banknotes to take down high-value vacant stores in most key cities of the former Soviet Union, and then entered a state of silence, as if a high-speed flying dragon had been hit by an obstacle curse, quietly retreating to the end of this financial feast.

Of course, it didn't completely disappear.

However, compared to the many foreign capital forces still fighting fiercely in the banking, securities, state-owned heavy industry, and real estate industries, the previously aggressive Destiny Group suddenly focused its main energy on some marginal, such as soap factories, pulp mills, glass factories, daily chemical factories, tobacco and alcohol factories... light industrial workshops and factories.

It should be known that, unlike capitalist countries with sound and developed light industries, due to the development concept of emphasizing "heavy industry" that the former Soviet Union had always advocated in the past few decades, light industrial plants in the former Soviet Union generally operated poorly, and both technology and productivity were relatively backward – in other words, the overall valuation was quite poor.

Therefore, apart from a few red countries with equally poor light industry foundations, it is estimated that only old antiques like Paracelsus, who had lived on the edge of the magical world for a long time, would be willing to act like fools and buy these Muggle industries that had already been shut down or were on the verge of bankruptcy at high prices according to the prices before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

After more than a month of financial competition, whether it was the goblins of Gringotts, the goblins of North America, or the Americans, they had all realized the existence of this strange force in the former Soviet Union, and after a brief contact, they unanimously chose to avoid the investment areas of Destiny Group.

Low returns, low output, high risks, high labor costs... No force was willing to play a game of inflating prices with a group of emotional lunatics for such insignificant marginal benefits.

Capital will never be emotional, otherwise it will be a lamb to be slaughtered.

This is the consistent concept of all mature interest groups, and Boggart of Gringotts' Venture Capital Department naturally thought so too.

However, in recent days, those failed investment reports, the names of Hogwarts and Destiny Group, had been flashing back and forth in his mind, making him a little dazed. He had always had a question that he dared not ask.

If...

Destiny, the wizards, the Muggles of the former Soviet Union... if these lambs to be slaughtered in their eyes were also participating in this game with this concept, what exactly did they want to eat, given that they were already at the bottom?

At this moment, Boggart suddenly recalled the fuse that led to Douglas's dismissal – wait! Those wizards from Hogwarts who had long been forgotten by them seemed to have wanted to obtain half of Gringotts' equity?!

The middle-aged goblin's face changed slightly, and the documents he was holding trembled.

As far as he knew, Nicolas Flamel was one of Albus Dumbledore's closest friends.

And Paracelsus was one of Nicolas Flamel's closest friends. Those wizards at the top of the magical world were originally friends in the same secret circle. Such a major event could not have happened without any contact between them.

What if, what if all of this...

An ominous premonition flashed through Boggart's mind.

After sitting in a daze at his desk for a few seconds, Boggart took a deep look at the reports in his hand and walked out of the office.
