Chapter 860: Civilized debt collection
Remus Lupin, the editor-in-chief of the "Guide to Defense", was checking the recent development plan. He took a sip of the black tea, and his eyes fell on the shop diagonally opposite, which was the office of the Daily Prophet, next to it. Adjacent to Whitse Harder Book Company.
Compared with these two well-known companies, their newly opened store looks a lot shabby, and many things are still in the initial stage.
Opposite Lupin, Sirius was sitting on a chair with Erlang\'s legs tilted and reading the latest "Daily Prophet", ignoring the terrible situation they are currently facing.
It has been almost a month since the "Guide to Defense" was launched. Although the situation is much better than Lupin\'s expectations, it is still at a loss.
At this moment, an owl flew in from the reserved window, threw the envelope into the letter box, and fluttered away.
"Albert\'s letter?" Sirius asked without looking up.
"No, it\'s a letter from Mr. Jordan. I probably want to discuss with you how to ask Bagman for money." Lupin opened the mailbox, took out the letter and placed it on the desk in front of Sirius, and took it from his desk. Parchment said to himself: "This month, a total of 145 copies of the "Guide to Defense" were sold, of which 50 copies were given away for free, so it was actually sold for 95 copies. I’m afraid I won’t be able to buy two hundred copies by the end of this month."
It’s no wonder that Lupin smiled helplessly. The price of a copy of the "Guide to Defense" was as high as 10 cikes. After deducting printing fees, discount fees, owl mailing fees and other messy expenses, this month’s business was completely at a loss, and Sirius actually paid it back. He planned to pay him a good salary. Although Lupin finally rejected it, the situation is still not optimistic, because they also need to pay rent for the house they use now. According to the current experience of losing money, Lupin is very suspicious of " Can the Defense Guide last until next year?
"Don\'t worry, didn\'t Albert prepared several sales plans? I think his idea is very good, and the loss-making business is only temporary." Sirius put down Erlang\'s legs and comforted: "As long as the magazine sales go up, it will be fine. You can make money by advertising in magazines, and I suspect that guy didn’t expect the sales of "Guide to Defense" to make money for him from the beginning.
"For another purpose, does Albert plan to sell the magazine to Hogwarts students?" Lupin didn\'t think Hogwarts students had money to buy.
What he sees now is losing money and wasting a lot of energy. If the "Guide to Defense" fails to improve, then Sirius might have lost a lot of Gallon.
"Don\'t worry about these things." Sirius threw the parchment after reading on the table and said to Lupin. German took back the principal that he held down."
"Isn\'t Bagman running out of money?" Lupin had heard about Bagman. It is said that this unlucky guy borrowed a lot of gold from the goblin, but after he didn\'t pay back the money, after the World Cup. All the gold coins were snatched by the goblin, and he is currently being closely monitored.
"Ludo Bagman is indeed out of money now, but it does not mean that he will also have no money in the future, and everyone just wants to get back their principal." Sirius curled his lips, he suspected that this matter was Ai Burt did it.
Of course, this is just a guess.
When Sirius went to the meeting place, he found that the number of wizards who had been pitted by Ludo Bagman was really quite large, there were a total of eleven.
Sirius also found Arthur\'s son standing in the crowd with a gloomy face.
"Well, you guys, let me talk about our situation and goals first." As the initiator of the debt collection group, Mr. Jordan stood up and said: "As everyone knows, Bagman\'s Garon was taken away by the goblin. There is no Kanon either, so we can’t expect him to pay back the money now, but he has no money now, it doesn’t mean that he will have no money in the future. We can wait for five years or even ten years, anyway, we can’t let that guy just give the money back. I\'m sorry."
"That guy is the director of the Department of Magical Sports, and he gets a lot of salary every month. Use his salary to repay the debt." Everyone thinks this is a good idea.
"We don\'t expect him to be able to repay the money in one go, but it is not bad to repay the money from his salary." Mr. Jordan is very satisfied with the current development.
"Will this be too tolerant to him?" said a man angrily.
"Moreover, we don\'t have so much time to stare at him." Percy frowned and reminded, "Five years? Time? We can\'t waste time on Bagman just because of this."
"Perhaps, we should report Bagman\'s actions to the Ministry of Magic." A somewhat bald wizard reminded.
"This is a private gambling and is not protected by the Ministry of Magic." Percy shook his head. If possible, he would have done that a long time ago, and would discuss countermeasures here.
"Moreover, there is another question, how do you plan to ensure that he will pay back the money?" Sirius, who had been silent all the time, suddenly asked.
Even if they speak nicely now, if they can\'t ensure that Bagman will pay back the money, it will be meaningless.
"I naturally thought of this, we can use this stuff!" Mr. Jordan took out the parchment paper that was already covered with handwriting from the pocket of his robe.
"Magic contract." He introduced to everyone excitedly, "In ten years, as long as Bagman repays the money as agreed, the magic contract will be automatically cancelled, and we will let him go."
"It\'s impossible!" a woman screamed. "Bagman defrauded Agatha Tims\'s half of the stock in the eel farm. How could that guy have no money? If it doesn\'t work, we will use violence and directly take all the valuables from him as compensation. gold."
"It\'s illegal to do that." Mr. Jordan reminded.
"Isn\'t the thing in your hand illegal?" Sirius couldn\'t help laughing.
"This is a reconciliation book." Mr. Jordan said without hesitation. He didn\'t know how thick his face was, and he could confidently say, "Bugman owes us money. What we should do now is to stop the loss in time, not when the time comes. You can\'t get anything."
"If Bagman runs away on account," someone continued to ask.
"If Bagman is really wrong, then he will probably become the most unlucky wizard in the world." Mr. Jordan shrugged: "Moreover, as long as he signs the settlement, we can pass this contract at any time. Find his specific position. If Bagman dares to run away, then sell his position to the goblin. We also make some Gallons from the goblin to make up for the loss. As the price of Bagman’s recklessness, he will always Be entangled by fairies, for at least ten years, he will never want to get rid of those fairies."
"Very well, I have no objection, just follow your plan. Bagman must pay for what he did."
Having said that, that guy really owes a lot of people to Kanon.
There are a total of 17 people on the list, but some people are owed by Bagman a limited amount of Garon. The first place is the screaming fat woman, the second is Black, and the third is Jordan. , The total sum of zeros and zeros behind, the principal amount is around 3000 gallons. Of course, if you count the Kanon who wins the bet, you probably have to multiply it several times.
"According to your magic contract, at most 2,400 gallons will be recovered in ten years. What should you do if you don\'t have enough?" the acrimonious woman asked Mr. Jordan.
"The ones of us who are owed the most can get less." Mr. Jordan said without hesitation, "or deduct according to the ratio."
"I have no opinion."
"No comment."
The fat woman was interrupted by Mr. Jordan when she wanted to say something, "Get the money from Bagman before talking. The rest is nonsense."
Sirius couldn\'t help but curled his lips, and looked down on the woman in front of him. Mr. Jordan undoubtedly planned to force Bagman to compromise because of his number advantage.
In fact, many people who were owed and deceived by Bagman gathered here, not all of them were to ask Bagman for money. They all knew what happened to that guy, and they knew that even if they found that guy, they wouldn’t be able to get Garon. Geman deceived them with fake Kanon and copy Kanon, especially Bagman\'s attitude towards them in order not to pay back the money.
This undoubtedly annoyed everyone, and they all planned to make the **** suffer.
"Okay, I will take you to find Bagman. In order to avoid the harassment of the goblin, that guy didn\'t dare to go home at all, so he hid directly. Come with me!"
Mr. Jordan Apparated with everyone.
In a remote area on the coast of England, Bagman is dragging his tired body towards this seaside house. It is a Muggle villa. Most of the time, it is unoccupied. It is very suitable for temporary hiding and avoiding the group. Annoying fairy.
Bagman regretted that he had provoke the group of fairies. They followed him all day in order to get money from him, which made Bagman a little nervous.
However, when Bagman walked into the lobby of the villa, he was stunned because he found a group of people sitting there waiting for him.
"You guys, what do you guys..."
"Well, Mr. Bagman, we came to you to discuss with you how you owe everyone the money." Jordan walked to appear from behind, handed Bagman’s wand, and put his hand on his shoulder. Prevent him from apparition and escape.
"I really don\'t have any money." The smile on Bagman\'s face was uglier than crying.
"We know you have no money." Jordan nodded to express his understanding, "So, we just want to get back the principal. You know, we can give up the money we won, but you can\'t take all of our principal. gone."
"but I…"
"Perhaps, we should teach him a lesson." The fat woman was holding her magic wand, gritted her teeth, and seemed to be planning to use the drill spell.
"Well, we know that you have no money now, but you will definitely have money in the future. After all, you are the director of the Magic Sports Department, and you earn a lot of salary every month. You only need to pay 20 gallons to pay off the debt." Jordan smiled. Put the parchment in front of Bagman and say, UU reading www. Uukanshu.com "We will give you ten years, and it will be easy for you to pay off this debt. For ten years you will need to pay 2,400 gallons. We will not ask you for the remaining gallons. How about ?"
"Okay, I sign."
Knowing that he had no choice, Bagman quickly scanned the contents of the parchment and found that the guys he had pitted were all here. No wonder they weren’t writing to him to ask for money. They had already assembled and prepared to come together. Asked him to collect debts.
After Bagman finished signing the name, Jordan smiled and passed the parchment to the fat woman and said, "This is for you to keep. It\'s better to put it in the vault."
"I will."
By the way, Mr. Bagman, I forgot to remind you that there is a curse on this contract. If you can\'t pay off 2,400 gallons in ten years, I don\'t think you want to know the consequences. "
"I see." Bagman said dryly.
"Then we won\'t disturb you, goodbye Mr. Bagman."
After a group of people left the villa, they Apparated and left.
"Damn, it\'s a bunch of nasty guys, it doesn\'t seem safe here anymore," Bagman muttered softly.
