The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

At the same time, Maxim also stood up at the right time and said to everyone present with a smile:

"Everyone, what Principal Doug said just now is nothing more than the preliminary covenant agreement we made. Now in the face of Mr. Foley's competition, I have discussed with the Beauxbatons Board of Trustees overnight, and the results are quite gratifying. , our school trustees have a strong desire to form an alliance with Durmstrang, and decided to add an additional 100,000 Galleons to the original 600,000 Galleons! What do you think? Principal Doug?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the office instantly became quiet and tense.

Professor Doug's thin body seemed to be trembling, while most of the other professors lowered their heads in silence.

However, Link remained calm.

Before he came to Durmstrang, he had already made an in-depth analysis of the entire 'acquisition' event, so it was clear that for these professors, the so-called 'acquisition amount' was completely unimportant.

Because due to the influence of the four founders of Hogwarts, European famous schools like Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, their founders almost invariably retain the substantial ownership of the school given to the next headmaster, not his own heir, and made it a tradition.

At the same time, they also declared that the magic school is a sacred institution for the benefit of the entire wizarding world and to provide basic education for every little wizard. It is not the private property of a certain person or an organization, but the precious wealth of all wizards!

This kind of high-sounding statement makes it impossible for these magic schools to be nationalized no matter how strong the International Confederation of Wizards and the local Ministry of Magic are.

Because this is a blasphemy to those noble and sacred founders, a blasphemy of one's own origin, a betrayal of the people, and it will cause social panic!

This directly led to the fact that Professor Doug was the actual owner of the Durmstrang School.

As for the school board, it was a donor organization established by the principal to raise funds.

They do have a lot of power and can even remove the headmaster with good reason.

But the school does not belong to them.

Therefore, no matter how high the price Maxim offers, all these golden Galleons will not fall into the pockets of these professors.

The reason why there are now professors favoring Maxim is entirely because their salaries and living conditions will be improved after Durmstrang was acquired by Beauxbatons.

This is also clear to Maxim.

It seemed to her that many of the professors in Durmstrang were already meat on her plate.

In the future, regardless of whether this "acquisition" is successful or not, she can rely on high salary to dig them out, so as to achieve the purpose of capturing Durmstrang's high-end teachers.

So she put all her power on Principal Doug, intending to eat Durmstrang completely.

However, Maxim still miscalculated the situation.

She probably thought that Principal Doug moved out of a tool like Link because he was dissatisfied with the purchase amount and wanted to raise the price.

After all, in the face of such a huge amount of gold Galleon, almost no normal person can refuse.

But in fact she was the one who was moved out to force Link to raise the price.

Because Professor Doug is such an abnormal person.

He is someone who takes the founder's grand-sounding declaration seriously!

In this old man's eyes, preserving Durmstrang's heritage is the most important thing, otherwise he wouldn't go to the Despicable Alliance's banquet to 'beg'.

In this 'takeover battle', Link is determined to win!

Sure enough, after a brief silence, Professor Doug's turbid gaze was projected on Link again.

Link, on the other hand, looked at Beckman next to him, then got up with a smile and said to everyone present:

"The covenant cost of 700,000 Galleons is indeed an astronomical figure, and even I have to admit that Ms. Maxime of Beauxbatons did have a detached determination to form an alliance with Durmstrang.

But I think, after all, I have a better idea of ​​what everyone here needs.

In fact, I said as early as the night I met Headmaster Doug that I was very willing to give Durmstrang the equivalent of Hogwarts. So, the 100,000 Galleons just mentioned by Principal Doug are not all of my donations, but only the expenses for the first year.

Of the 100,000 Galleons, 80,000 Galleons will be used to repair Durmstrang Castle and external facilities, and the other 20,000 Galleons will be used to improve the living standards of students and professors their salaries.

And every year from the second year onwards, I will still provide Durmstrang with an annual donation of 100,000 Galleons. However, only 50,000 gold Galleons will be used to maintain Durmstrang's maintenance and staff salaries. As for the remaining 50,000 gold Galleons, considering that the current Durmstrang high-end teaching field is due to funding After the problem was almost unsustainable, our Foley family and Beckman, as one of the largest suppliers of magical animal products and magical herbal medicines in Europe, decided to convert this part of the amount into various materials at cost prices. Strong donated.

Of course, the whereabouts of such a large amount of money and materials need to be monitored.

Therefore, while making donations, I need to become Durmstrang's trustee, enjoying the same supervision and appointment rights as the Hogwarts trustee. "

After saying that, Link smiled and returned to his seat.

At this time, Professor Doug's face was flushed with excitement.

Similar to what Link expected, his original intention of holding this voting meeting was actually to force Link to raise the price a little more.

This despicable method made Principal Doug's heart full of guilt.

So at first, he even thought that Link would be satisfied as long as he could give him an extra 5,000 gold Galleons so that he could pay the salaries owed to the professors.

It's just that Link gave him a surprise!

A donation of 100,000 gold Galleons every year!

That's even more money than Durmstrang was getting every year.

In particular, the plan proposed by Link to convert the input of materials to improve the level of Durmstrang's high-end teaching content scratched Professor Doug's itch.

As a former potion master, no one in this world knows better than Principal Doug how terrifying it is to get the assistance of the two big suppliers, the Foley Family and the Beckman Family!

He can even imagine the scene where Durmstrang's success rate of pharmacists will skyrocket in the future.

Not only Principal Doug, but also the professors in the office who had bowed their heads and didn't say a word also laughed.

Not everyone is willing to give up their work for more than ten years and work hard in a new unit for decades. The amount of Jin Galleon given by Maxim before was too much, and there was no way.

And now Link has bluntly said that he will spend a large sum of gold Galleons to improve the salary of professors, which directly means that those professors who choose to stay can also enjoy higher salaries, while those who choose to leave will enjoy higher salaries. It is also a win-win situation to ask Maxim for a better salary than before with the help of Link!

The only unhappy person in the office is probably Maxim.

But this is the end, she can only get up again and say to Principal Doug fiercely:

"I will add another 100,000 gold Galleons! This is our last sincerity of Beauxbatons!"

Maxim's voice was so loud that it instantly overwhelmed the whispering voices of the professors present.

It's a pity that in the face of the tall Maxim, the short Principal Doug still shook his head, and then smiled impatiently:

"Okay, let's start voting! Raise your hand if you agree with Mr. Link Foley's plan!"

After speaking, Principal Doug himself raised his hand first.

Immediately, the professors at the conference table raised their hands in unison. They had no reason to refuse at all. It was in their own interests to choose Link!

"Oh! It looks like there has been no vote on the Covenant of Beauxbatons."

Headmaster Doug said happily.

Looking at the raised arms in the office, Maxim's teeth were about to be crushed.

She gave Professor Doug and Link a cold look, and then quickly rushed out of the office.

Following Maxim out of the office were several other professors who had decided to return to Beauxbatons with Maxim.

But no one cares about them anymore.

"Bang!"

The door to the office is slammed shut!

At the same time, Krum, who had been raising his arms vigorously, also cheered and hugged Link with a big laugh.

The professors present also gave a kind laughter upon seeing this.

However, the most excited people on the scene were Beckman and Kled.

The two of them were the only ones who knew about Link's entire 'Arsenal' plan, and at this moment they were almost shaking with excitement.

"Mr. Foley, from today onwards you will be the sole trustee of our Durmstrang school."

Principal Doug said with a smile, while wearing a bronze Durmstrang school badge brooch on Link's chest.

"Thank you for your trust," Link said directly, knowing what the subtext of Principal Doug's actions was, "I'm picking up this year's 100,000 gold Galleons, and it is expected that it will be brought by Mr. Beckman tomorrow and the day after. In addition, I I want to exercise the authority of my school director and open a new Defence Against the Dark Arts course in Durmstrang. I believe that this move will have a great effect on Durmstrang's external image.

The professor of this course will be Mr. Beckman, and in the future Mr. Beckman will also serve as my agent, in charge of the preparation and use of funds on Durmstrang's side. "

Hearing that, Professor Doug was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded and said:

"Of course, I welcome Mr. Beckman to our Durmstrang family."

He glanced at Snape again, "Besides, I heard Mr. Krum Sofly that you are Professor Snape's best student, and you are also highly skilled in potions. I don't know if you have Interested in joining the European Potions Association? As the Honorary Vice President of the European Potions Association, I am very willing to recommend young people like you.

Of course, it would be great if Professor Snape could join as well.

Our president has mentioned you countless times to me, but as far as I know, you seem to have been refusing the title of Potions Master they granted you, this time..."

"No, I don't need that kind of hypocritical title to prove my strength." Snape interrupted unceremoniously, "Besides, Link, I advise you not to join in. Talk to those who seek fame. Guys messing around just makes you as stupid as they are."

As soon as this statement came out, Principal Doug's expression immediately became embarrassed, and he could only turn his head and continue to look at Link.

Unfortunately, under the pressure of Snape's eyes, Link's answer to him was still NO.

"Really? It's really a pity..."

Professor Doug nodded and said with difficulty.

When Link saw this, he smiled helplessly.

He could see that Principal Doug actually wanted to repay his kindness as a member of the Potions Association. After all, in Principal Doug's view, his donation this time was completely without asking for anything in return. Do good deeds.

This made Link feel a little emotional.

Sometimes the free stuff is the most expensive!

All the gifts from fate have already been marked with prices in secret!

I don't know if one day, when all Durmstrang's teachers and students are tied to the chariot by Link, Principal Doug will still be able to laugh.

At the same time, Maxim has instructed the Beauxbatons students to organize their salutes and prepare to end this unpleasant summer camp activity ahead of schedule.

Of course, before this time, they still need to be baptized by the Forgetfulness Curse from the Durmstrang professors who followed out, to make them forget the way and the way to Durmstrang—this is It's Durmstrang's fine tradition of dealing with visitors, with the exception of school directors like Link.

"Principal Maxim, please don't be angry, I believe Link didn't mean to go against you!" Fleur cautiously persuaded Maxim, who was in a rage, "All of this must have been done by Dumbledore's instructions to Link. !"

Maxim raised his brows and said:

"Ah, you're right, it's possible that Link was dispatched by Dumbledore to Durmstrang to stop me. After all, I can't figure out what the benefit of him being this Durmstrang schoolmaster is. , The most important thing is that Voldemort has been resurrected, and I heard that this child Link has completely surrendered to Dumbledore on behalf of the Foley family."

"Ah?! Then Link he..."

"Okay, you don't need to worry about that stinky brat, he's so clever!" Maxim rolled a glance at Fleur and said, "We should be glad that this visit to Durmstrang is not completely useless, at least there are a lot of them. The professor was willing to go to Beauxbatons with us, albeit as a substitute professor.

Moreover, our recruitment activities in France are also very good. It is said that an excellent young man is willing to come to our Beauxbatons as the main professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts!

If you want me to say, you should really get in touch with him, he is not only powerful, but also a beautiful boy! "

"Really?" Furong said casually, "What's his name then?"

"Mardlo Tomvd Rielo, an odd name, isn't it? But I can assure you, he's definitely better than Link!"

Maxim swore to speak. High-speed text hand beat the strongest badger at Hogwarts chapter list
