Chapter 160 Sixth Grade Christmas
"Merry Christmas, Dinah!" Ann said into the microphone with a smile, "Did you like my Christmas present? Hee hee, it didn't take much time!"
"Pay attention to rest! The Ministry of Magic is busy, but combining work and rest is more important! Leave the matter here to me. Hey, your little An is smart."
"Christmas presents? Well, let Gu Ke put the Christmas presents of Hermione, Fanny, Luna, Ron, Harry and Jill in my room, and write down the names and contents of the other gifts and put them in the collection room."
"Well, you should also pay attention to safety."
After hanging up the phone with Dinah, Ann made another call to Aaron in the same way.As for Hermione's phone call, she was the first one to call. The time difference between New Delhi and London is five and a half hours. London is seven o'clock, and New Delhi is 11:30.An almost timed the call, neither too late nor too early.
The situation in the British Ministry of Magic is fairly stable now. In any case, the situation in India must be stabilized during this period.But now, it still takes a certain amount of time to buffer. To hit a snake, you need to hit seven inches in one blow.
Indira Gandhi Airport.An shook hands with Garavasinghe (the head of the Roland family's Asian trade line, resident in India), and said with a smile, "Mr. Singh, don't send it away. I understand the situation in India. I hope you will contribute more to my meeting in Hong Kong."
"Seriously, Miss Roland, this is what we should do, so see you in five days?" Garawasinghe said, letting go of his hand.
"Goodbye." An Wan smiled slightly.
Sitting in a business seat on a plane flying from New Delhi to Hong Kong, China, playing with a gold Galleon.After playing for a while, I looked at the night scene outside the window again.Outside the glass window, the moon is clear and bright.
"Actually, I was lucky. I came across this good opportunity. It's a once-in-a-thousand-year chance." An murmured, "This time it works, that's killing three birds with one stone. The risk is great, and the reward is also great. However, this risk is a big deal for me. It's manageable."
Roland Family Headquarters in China, Hong Kong, Kowloon Office.
"Huh..." An, who came out of the bathroom, stretched, and Li Qing, who was sitting at the desk, quickly stood up.
With a wave of his hand, An motioned for the other party to sit down.
"Margaret, it's okay, sit down." Ann waved her wand, and two cups of green tea fell on the desk. Ann took a sip of the green tea and asked, "How's the situation?"
"The owners of the Chen family, Li family, and Huang family in Guangzhou will come in person. The heirs of the Zhang family and Wang family in Xi'an will come. In addition, the current head of the Liu family also specially replied to Feige's letter to us. Said he would come in person."
"In addition, the Jin family in Beijing heard about this meeting. They sent a letter yesterday, hoping to send someone to attend the meeting."
"Oh? The Jin family?" An touched her chin, thought for a while and said, "Reply to them, yes. Send them the simple meeting materials and address."
"Okay." Li Qing nodded.
"Have all the things picked up from Gringotts in Hong Kong been delivered?" An asked while playing with Gold Gallon.
"It was delivered two days ago. I checked it and there is no problem. They are all locked in the basement." Li Qing replied quickly, putting the folder in his hand on the table, "The arrangement and process of the meeting have been sorted out Cheng reported it, Ann, see if there are any adjustments and modifications that need to be made."
"Okay, I'll watch it tonight. How's the situation in Xi'an branch?" An continued to ask.
"You can start working at any time." Li Qing said, "Two experienced people will lead three newcomers."
"Very good, everything goes according to plan. Go to bed early, and I'll see you off." An got up and sent Li Qing to the door, "Good night."
After sending Li Qing away, An walked to the box in the bedroom, pointed at the box with her magic wand and said in a low voice, "Here comes the refreshment potion." A bottle of orange potion flew out.
After taking it, An Gulu gulped down the potion in one gulp.
"I hope the dozen refreshments I brought this time will be enough." An muttered as she walked towards the desk.
Time will not take anyone into consideration, it will always move forward resolutely at its own pace.With four days left before the Christmas holiday, the meeting started as scheduled.
The conference room on the second floor was magically decorated. Silver and red were the theme colors of the conference room. The family crest of the Roland family was printed on a golden ribbon, suspended in the air in the conference room.In front of each seat at the conference table is a small parchment business card with the name of each family member written in Chinese on it.
At 08:30 in the morning, the meeting started on time.
Li Qing wore a cheongsam and gave a welcome speech at the beginning.After the welcome speech was over, with a snap, Apparition appeared on a high platform in front of the conference table.
In the delicate gray robe, the emblem of the Roland family can be seen faintly. An first looked around the meeting room before speaking in standard Mandarin, "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am very glad that everyone is here today to participate in this meeting organized by the Roland family." .China has always been a mysterious country, whether it is the magic world or the secular world. I am very happy that I can meet many new Chinese wizard friends today."
"China has a unique oriental wizarding culture. As an ancient family in the British wizarding world, the Roland family is full of interest in the Chinese wizarding world. This meeting is to further strengthen our cooperation. In other words, the future of the Roland family , I hope to have more in-depth and thorough exchanges with everyone here, the Roland family will devote a lot of resources to China, and it will be the key business area of the Roland family."
"To show our sincerity." Ann curled up her mouth and smiled, waved her wand, and a few pieces of parchment flew to everyone sitting in the conference room.
"This is a letter of guarantee, guaranteed in the name of the Roland family. Everyone, you can take this letter of guarantee at any time and create a premium account in Gringotts in Hong Kong."
As soon as An's words fell, the people in the meeting room started discussing.Not long after the opening of China, the wizarding world had little communication with the wizarding world outside. Gringotts can be said to be a world-class bank in the wizarding world, but the goblins have a very low credit rating for China, and they do not accept them at all. account.They could only set up the lowest level of personal accounts at Gringotts, and personal accounts were inconvenient in many ways.
Ann's approach can be said to have helped them a lot.In this way, it means that they will be subject to much fewer restrictions on doing business in the international wizarding community in the future.
"It's a belated Christmas present," An said. "I hope you like this gift. But let's get on with business. The Roland family has been operating in China for eight years, and these are the trade data for these eight years."
Several oversized parchments flew into the air, with clear data on them.
"As you can see, the trade volume of the Roland family in China increased by 50.00% last year, which is a very promising growth rate. And, next year." Ann smiled playfully, "I think China will become more open and More accommodating."
The representative of the Jin family raised his hand, and An nodded with a smile, indicating that the other party could speak.
"If I'm not mistaken, do you think that the China Magic Alliance will pass the fifth document on the trade of magic goods between the mainland and Hong Kong next year?"
The discussion started to spread again.
"Thank you, you have covered what I want to say next." An said, "Yes, that's right, I think this agreement will be passed, and I hope that the relevant trade agreements can be signed with the families in advance."
When everyone was looking at her, Ann dropped another blockbuster, "And it's not just about economic trade, the Roland family hopes to have more in-depth exchanges with other families starting from January [-] next year. "
With a wave of the magic wand, more than a dozen thick thread-bound rice paper fell in front of everyone.On it were several vigorous characters, "Letter of Intent for Long-term Cooperation and Development of the Roland Family".
I couldn't wait to open it, and the meeting room exploded again, because on the first page, there was a sentence clearly written on it: Educational cooperation projects.
The Roland family has the ability to provide opportunities to study in magic schools in the UK, the US, France and Germany every year, and the number of places is limited to 20.
"Is this true?" Accompanied by the constant murmurs, the usually calm, now anxiously looking through the letters of intent one by one, the heads of various families.
"Everyone, this meeting lasted for two days. We have enough time to discuss the various plans in the letter of intent. In a word, the Roland family is very optimistic about the potential and development prospects of the Chinese wizarding world."
On the first day of the meeting, Ann was asked various questions and was busy until twelve o'clock in the evening.When she returned to the living room on the fourth floor, An just wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep in the dark without thinking about anything.
But it couldn't, Li Qing was holding a bunch of notes and waiting to confirm with An.At the desk, the two discussed until 01:30 in the morning.
The three clocks on the wall show the time in Hong Kong, New Delhi and London respectively.
Right now, it's only around 06:30 in London.
"Hello? Ann? Good afternoon!" Hermione's brisk voice sounded, but the next moment her voice changed, "Hong Kong time should be now? 02:30 in the morning???"
Ann smiled lightly. Although she was physically exhausted, hearing Hermione's voice made her feel much better.
"Are you still laughing?" Hermione said angrily, but the next moment she said worriedly, "Did you work until now? You must be exhausted. In fact, you don't have to worry about missing a day and not calling me. It's late, you can go to bed directly."
"I miss you very much." Ann said, and when she opened her mouth to speak, she realized that her voice was a little hoarse.
Hermione seemed even more worried, and said distressedly, "Your voice is hoarse, are you working hard?"
"It's okay, it's just that there are too many things." An hugged the phone and lay down on the sofa, "I don't feel so tired after hearing your voice—"
Hermione sneered, "Okay, then you heard it now, go to bed quickly. Don't call tomorrow, you know?"
"Well--"
"If you call, I won't answer it. And I will be angry when I get to school." Hermione said firmly.
"Well then, I miss you."
"Well, miss you. Ann, go to bed. Good night."
The next day, Ann was woken up by four alarm clocks at eight o'clock on time, and she drank another bottle of refreshing medicine and went downstairs.
On this day, the enthusiasm of the major families was even worse than the previous day, and the enthusiasm remained the same on the third day.An Lian turned around for three days, but gained even more.Each family has signed a series of future plans through the Roland family, and China's prospects are bright.
After the last meeting, Li Qing couldn't help asking An curiously why he was so confident in the development of the Communist Party.To this, Ann's answer is that Hong Kong will return to China in 97, and after that, China's Muggle economic circles will skyrocket, and China's Wizarding Union will definitely adapt to the situation. At this time, it is a unique opportunity. .
"By the way, Li Qing, inform Xin He and the people he brought in the evening. There will be a meeting in the conference room at eight o'clock in the evening. This time I want to thank them very much." An said with a smile.
"Okay." Li Qing nodded without further questions.
Ann rubbed a gold Galleon in her hand, and murmured, "Tonight is the highlight."
Eight o'clock in the evening, meeting room.
The silver-haired but energetic Garavasingh led ten people from the Indian headquarters to the meeting room while walking and chatting.
Ann walked into the conference room at [-]:[-], and as soon as she entered the conference room, the door closed tightly with a creak.Walking to the main seat and sitting down, An smiled and glanced at the people present.
"Haha, everyone has worked hard these three days." An said happily.
"No, no, to be honest at this meeting, I can see the ability of the younger generation." Galava smiled and looked at the other people in the conference room, "Miss Roland's ability this time has opened everyone's eyes. The future of the Chinese market is really bright!"
"Yes, yes." Several people in the conference room echoed.
"Really?" An smiled with her small canine teeth, "Then I don't know if those present are interested in coming to China to help?"
Singh narrowed his eyes all of a sudden, staring at Ann.An looked back without showing any sign of weakness.
"Haha, I'd rather be happy, the China area is much more dynamic than the India area—" a voice said jokingly, but immediately sensed that the atmosphere was not right, and stopped talking.
Quiet.
No one in the conference room spoke for a while, Xin He squinted at Ann, and An looked at Xin He with a slight smile.
"Miss Roland must be joking." Singh said, "We old guys are used to staying in India."
"I'm not joking," An suddenly changed his expression and became serious.A roll of parchment slipped from the sleeve of the robe, and An unfolded the parchment. The badge of the Roland family shone with silver light, and An announced several major personnel changes in the Indian region.
Yes, that's the point.Let the young wizards in the lower ranks of the Indian region sit in the middle ranks, and let the middle-aged wizards in the middle ranks who still have the idea to work hard to come to China, a region with unlimited potential, and do not need so much experience in the lower ranks of India. Can be rehired.
As the saying goes, one group is attracted, one group is transferred, and one group is suppressed.
After An read about the personnel changes, the people in the conference room looked at each other in silence for a while.But it might as well have a few people with obvious excitement and excitement in their eyes.
"Others can go out. I want to discuss with Mr. Xin He alone." Ann waved his wand, and the door of the meeting room creaked open.
In less than a minute, only An and Singh were left in the meeting room.
"Would you like a cup of coffee? Or tea? Mr. Xinhe?" An Wan said with a smile.
"Miss Roland? What does this mean?" Xin He squinted his eyes with a smile on his face, but his tone was cold.
"What do you mean?" Ann tapped on the conference table with her fingers, "Good question, Mr. Xinhe should remember that in December 1993, the Roland family's income from the Indian region..."
An fluently and without a single pause, counted the amount and whereabouts of each hidden wealth of the other party that he found.
"Last year," Ann said, "I have to admire your boldness. Taking advantage of the changes in the trade policy of the Indian Ministry of Magic, you swallowed 600 million Galleons. Tsk tsk..."
Xin He's expression changed from indifference and disdain at the beginning to shock and surprise later on.
"How did you find out the tricks in it in three months? I have been doing the accounts for so many years, and there is no reason for the loopholes to be discovered so easily."
"Computer." Ann spit out a word.
"What?" Xin He asked puzzled, "What is that?"
"A humble little black box, good at calculating spells." An Wan said with a smile.
"I see." Singh shook his head slowly, then leaned back in his chair, "What are you going to do with me? This is Hong Kong, your territory. With the evidence you have, if you appeal to the Indian Ministry of Magic, I have no chance of coming back."
"Aren't you going to explain?" Ann asked.
"Explain what?" Singh said, looking at Ann.
"Actually, I have a question that has always been very strange," An said, "If I was surprised and angry at your greedy means and appetite at first, but after I checked the data of the past ten years, I was a little more puzzled. Why did you start cheating in 1993?"
Xin He was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Have you checked the data of the past ten years? Every transaction?"
Ann nodded, "Yes, every one. Well, this is not important, can you tell me the reason?"
Xin He stared at Ann for a long time, with many complicated emotions flashing through his eyes, but An didn't read it out, but An Neng felt that it wasn't some bad emotions, which made An even more confused.
"?? Huh?" Ann snorted.
"Personal reasons." Singh finally said, "Just tell me, what do you plan to do with me, an old man?"
An took a deep look at Xin He, and then said, "Within half a month, I will spit out 80.00% of the property that I have swallowed, and I will deduct the rest from your salary. However, starting next year, you Your annual salary has risen to 5 Galleons, that is to say, your annual salary is now 35 Galleons per year. Sorry, I’m afraid you will have to work for free for the next ten years.”
Xin He looked at Ann in surprise, and said after a while, "How do you deal with it?"
"Can't you?" Ann said, "That's my decision. By the way, after you go out, you tell the little shrimps under your hands, and they also take the same solution. But the salary increase is not so high, about 5.00 %Bar."
"Don't think I don't know, I can't find it. I have the list here, and they can't surpass you in accounting." Ann showed eight small white teeth and said with a smile, "Today's meeting ends here, the meeting is adjourned. "
When she got up and was about to walk out of the meeting room, Ann was stopped by Xin He.
"Miss Roland, may I ask why?"
"The sixth rule of Roland's family motto: There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests." Ann said, "But, compared to this, I prefer the third rule: recognize mistakes, admit mistakes, and actively correct them. And, to be honest , For the past 36 years, I thank you for the Roland family."
After speaking, Ann pushed open the door of the conference room and strode out.
So Ann didn't hear it at all, and Singh murmured in relief after she walked out the door, "She's really like you."
After going up to the fourth floor and closing the door of the living room, An was completely relieved, and put the magic wand tightly held in his sleeve into the inside pocket of his robe.
"It's scary, I finally got this done." An murmured and poured herself a glass of water. After drinking it in one gulp, she collapsed on the big soft bed and looked at the ceiling. "Take care of the follow-up tomorrow morning and go home in the afternoon. School starts the day after tomorrow, yeah."
