Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

In many novels, the protagonist has a powerful background, which allows the protagonist to do many things conveniently.

Zhang Xu now enjoys such treatment, and with the help of Mr. Zhao, many of his ideas can be realized quickly.

However, Zhang Xu is not the kind of person who can do whatever he wants when he has a background. He still played a big role in many issues.

For example, Mr. Zhang Xutuo Zhao recently submitted a feasibility report on the purchase of the recently decommissioned aircraft carrier Minsk and the decommissioned Kiev aircraft carrier at the end of June this year to build an aircraft carrier theme park.

These two aircraft carriers from the 70s will definitely be destroyed when they are bought back. The power system and weapon system will definitely be destroyed. They will not be able to be used as warships when they are bought back, but there is still a lot to be done as a park.

The purpose of buying these two slightly outdated retired aircraft carriers to build a theme park is to buy the one that is still soaking in the sea and bought back a few years later under the banner of "Macau's first offshore casino is online". Liangge played a cover.

Originally, the navy had plans to take advantage of the disintegration of the Soviet Union to purchase Soviet aircraft carriers, but considering all aspects, it was found that the feasibility was not high.After all, Russia does not want its neighbors to the south to have strong sea power.

So Zhang Xu put forward a three-step plan in the report. The first step is to rent a venue in Russia, and domestic people will provide materials. After buying the newly decommissioned Kiev, it will be transformed into a marine park in Russia and then dragged back. The first step is to tow the Minsk back and transform it into a marine park. The next third step is to target the Varyag under the same name. After buying it, whether it will be transformed into a sea casino or a large flat-top fishery administration ship. In this way, if it goes well, the Varyag will be available in 1996 to 1997. After several years of transformation, the Navy will have an aircraft carrier within a few years of entering the 21st century. .

Ever since, when Zhang Xu brought Fu Rong and Gabrielle to the surface after exploring the Yongle Dragon Cave, he saw a group of officers who were crazy about aircraft carriers waiting for him on the sea.

For the next few days, the helpless Zhang Xu could only have a meeting with a group of elders in the conference room on Yongxing Island.Fu Rong and Gabrielle followed Zhang Xu's cousin on the island to study how to grow vegetables.

Time flies, and this year's summer vacation is coming to an end.

One week before the start of school, Zhang Xu came to the UK because several Hogwarts classmates wrote to him and wanted to talk to him about something.

In the Leaky Cauldron, Zhang Xu met Harry Potter who lived here after running away from home.

"Harry, why are you here?" Zhang Xu stopped Harry Potter who had just come down from the Leaky Cauldron.

"I blew up my cousin Dudley," said Harry, shrugging. "He was talking bad about my parents like Aunt Marge in front of me."

"Uh, very good, very powerful." Zhang Xu was a little speechless.

Zhang Xu ordered two breakfasts and asked Harry to eat together.

Zhang Xu watched the recent Daily Prophet while eating breakfast.

Under the action of the will of the world, some things have changed, but some things have not changed.

Arthur Weasley won the Daily Prophet's annual Grand Prix, and the five children of his family who had just returned from China embarked on a trip to Egypt.

Then Sirius still saw the Weasley family portrait in the newspaper, and then swam all the way back to the British Isle from Azkaban.

Zhang Xu still admires Sirius' perseverance. A dog at the beginning, who was not fed and clothed in Azkaban, was able to run back from the vast sea.

As for the matter of Hogwarts students going to China, except for a while at the beginning, it was never mentioned in the newspapers.I didn't hear any other wizards mention it in the bar.

After breakfast, Harry went to Diagon Alley to drool over the broomsticks in the window, and several classmates who had business with Zhang Xu also arrived one after another.

When Percy Weasley, Cedric Diggory, Penelope Crivat, and Daphne Greengrass came to sit down at Zhang Xu's table one after another, Zhang Xu was a little confused. The rhythm of doing things together

"Zhang, have you noticed that the Daily Prophet did not publish any news about our return from China." Penello said.

"Perhaps because Sirius escaped from prison, he has occupied the headlines during this time." Zhang Xu said.

"No." Daphne said, "Someone doesn't want the public to know what we saw in Huaxia."

"In the Ministry of Magic, someone issued an order to the Daily Prophet to prohibit reporters from interviewing students who have been to China." Cedric's father was more popular in the Ministry of Magic than Mr. Weasley, so he could get a lot of news.

"Obviously, some people don't want to see Britain become like China." Percy said, "If the magic world in Britain changes, then their interests will no longer exist."

"Are there many such people?" Zhang Xu asked.

"Not many." Daphne said, "but they are all very conservative ancient families with a very wide network of contacts. It will be impossible to refuse some of their requests for a while. At first they tried to make the families cut off their trade with China. As a result, It was rejected. Later, they put pressure on the Ministry of Magic and the Daily Prophet to prohibit reporting on this matter." As a member of the ancient wizard family, Daphne knows a lot of news in the circle.

"What do other families think about this?" Zhang Xu asked.

"In the past two years, many families have made a lot of money through trade with China. It is absolutely impossible for them to cut off trade with China. But they are worried that if the British magic world becomes the same as China, they will The benefits will be divided among the half-blood wizards," Daphne said.

"The attitudes of the various families towards Huaxia are very contradictory." Percy said, "On the one hand, because of the trade, because they have obtained huge profits, they are very eager to cooperate with Huaxia. On the other hand, most families do not want to learn from Huaxia. But there are still some families who hope to learn from Huaxia."

"In the Ministry of Magic, there are also different voices. Some people hope to get along with Muggles openly, so that the Ministry of Magic can hold more power." Cedric said.

"In the group of half-blood wizards, almost all agree to expand contacts with China, and hope to learn from China's model." Penello said, "You also know that the current system and atmosphere of the British magic world are not friendly to half-blood wizards. "

After listening to these people's words, Zhang Xu fell into a wave of deep thought.

Several people here understand how complicated conflicts of interest lie behind the prohibition of media reports.

And Zhang Xu's understanding of this is much deeper than the few of them.

A new interest group has formed due to the expansion of trade with China, a bureaucratic group eager to gain more power has begun to stretch out its hand, a group that has been oppressed has seen the hope of rising, and the ancient forces are in Tightly guard the interests in your hands.

This is so special that the rhythm of revolution is about to break out, Zhang Xu, who is very familiar with the modern history of China in both worlds, complained in his heart.

In Zhang Xu's previous life, there was a Monkey Marshal who studied history in the Rome Total War Group. His research direction was modern Chinese history.He said that looking at the modern history of China, many of the various "teaching plans" were the result of conflicts between groups attached to foreign forces and local clan forces competing for interests, and the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" uprising launched in the name of foreigners, as well as various The contradiction between foreign comprador groups and local groups, this period of history has supported many people who study history.

Zhang Xu looked at the four people in front of him. They all represented the interests of one side.

Daphne Greenglass and her Greengrass family have made a lot of money by exporting magic materials to China for the past two years.Daphne personally told Zhang Xu that their family heard from somewhere that Chinese people pay attention to "parents' orders and matchmaker's words" when they get married. If Zhang Xu hadn't hooked up with Fu Rong, their family would send someone to Huaxia to find her. Zhang Xu's family has "proposed marriage", whether it's herself or her younger sister, Zhang Xu can choose whatever he wants.

And Percy Weasley's family, through Charlie Weasley, recently obtained the European agency rights for the broomsticks produced by Huaxia.The purpose of their family's trip to Egypt this holiday was to persuade their eldest son, Bill Weasley, to quit his job at Gringotts and come back to take over the business.As for the British Ministry of Magic's ban on the import of broomsticks and the like, purchase "parts" and paint them to make them British.

Cedric Diggory's father, Amos Diggory, saw hope of extending his power.

Penelope Crivat is a representative of half-blood wizards who have been exploited and suppressed in the British wizarding world.

This table is the British Ministry of Magic's "court confidant" ah.Zhang Xu complained again.

We are all smart people and know what each other means without saying it.So Zhang Xu very much doubted whether the group behind them had reached some kind of tacit agreement, or even an agreement.

Since it is not clear, then everyone will continue to play tacit understanding.

Zhang Xu said to them: "Since they are unwilling to report this matter, then we will report it ourselves."

The eyes of Percy and the four of them brightened, and they realized that this was a good idea.

Zhang Xu continued: "If you don't run a newspaper, you must distinguish it from the Daily Prophet. To run a magazine, our content does not pursue timeliness, but depth. It is published once a week, and the target audience is under 30 years old. Wizards and current students at Hogwarts. The content can be rich and varied, and you can openly invite manuscripts. If you want to do it, I suggest doing a series of topics on the Basilisk incident some time ago. Just figure it out, I won't be free next semester."

Several people in Percy discussed it and found that it was feasible.

Finally, Percy asked Zhang Xu, "What should the name of this magazine be?"

"Let's call it Youth Magazine." Zhang Xu said.
