The conference room in Harris's new house in the heart of Black Lake Lake is different from the entire mansion. As the first visitor who used it for the first time today, the first feeling when he arrived here was that he felt that it was a little small, because there were only 377 seats here, but no one knew the real number, because the blue benches did not separate each seat with armrests, so it might be able to squeeze more people down. Others who have studied magic recognize that the traceless stretching used in this room is controllable, so when you can't sit, theories can also be expanded into more space, enough to ensure that all participants have a place to sit.

There is a long bronze line running through the debate hall under the front rows on both sides, about three brooms apart to ensure that both sides of the debate will not start in a disagreement. The conference hall is a triangular regulation, not a common semicircular structure. In such a triangle, the area close to the north is the seats of Harris, while the other two sides can freely and conveniently conduct debates, deliberations and decision-making - because for individuals, the so-called left and right positions are easy to change, but the behavior of passing through the speaker seat needs to be carefully considered.

In addition to the senior management of the Umbrella Group, the wizards who had followed the Harris family and the earliest wizards who moved closer were also included. The wizards who stayed in Germany also rushed from their hometowns to sit in front of the newly joined wizards.

As the patriarch of the Harris family, Irving's seat is unique. It is located on the central axis of the north side of the triangle. The bench is seven feet high. The top layer of the seat is engraved with the mark of the Eye of Omniscience. As a seat with a raven head carved and a foot pedal, it looks very comfortable and is stuffed with the feathers of the Evil Bird that are usually used to make fine quills.

In the entire symmetrical conference hall, there is a separate chair with a different direction from other benches at the entrance. Penelo Crivat sat on this chair with a magic wand. She was responsible for suppressing the riots on the scene, maintaining order and security when the venue could not control the scene. At the same time, she was also the only wizard who could hold the magic wand in his hand in this room - but judging from the current situation, this represents more of a ceremony and honor to the head of the Red Umbrella Department from the ceremony.

The meeting had been going on for a long time, but although these wizards looked a little tired, they looked very excited. Mrs. Letizia Crivat, who was sitting in the middle seat on the left, took advantage of the gap between her husband's answers to Irving's question and glanced at the special position where her daughter was sitting upright. She realized that the Harris family valued and respected Penelo, which made her feel very satisfied.

"The changes in physical position brought about by the school city's current ascension state and the impact of the energy and nuclear power..." Although Mr. Krivat attended the wizard meeting for the first time, he did not seem nervous because he had provided a long time to serve the Muggle officials. "The beginning of the completed part also needs to be revised and checked... This is not something that can be solved in a short time... We have to avoid loopholes..."

Hearing that the revision of the law has not been completed, the red-nose witch Grimson and the old guy around him looked at each other without saying anything. Although he did not dare to say it explicitly, these old stubborn people still understood each other's meaning - these muggles were far less efficient than those of wizards. The law started after so long, and because of the matter in the floating city, it was necessary to be reworked...

Lun, who was sitting not far below Owen, stood up: "Father, Flipe...Mr. Crivat has tried his best. In fact, seven laws have been formulated before this. I personally think it is much more rigorous than ordinary wizards' laws, but things have changed. Mr. Crivat still decided to start over..."

Hearing the meaning of Lunn's words, the red-nose witch Grimson and the old guy around him looked at each other without saying anything. Although he didn't dare to say it clearly, these old stubborn people still understood each other's surprise - these muggles actually made the law so troublesome, they had never heard of any magical laws that had revised seven books to start...

More wizards were silent but shocked in the audience - Irving seemed to have plans to replace all the laws, and they couldn't figure out what their big boss could do to pass so many laws in the British Ministry of Magic, even if Harris now controls the Ministry of Magic.

"Mr. Crivat's rigor is admirable... This is not a urging. You have enough time to make it perfect. I hope its existence can change some bad habits in the magic world..." Owen personally comforted himself, then asked, "So, what is the reaction of the international community now, John?"

John Barcelona stood up, and he supported the round glasses on his face: "It's not clear yet. The magic governments of many countries are not so efficient and have not made decisions but are just in chaos... However, the International Magic Cooperation Department recently received a delegation from the French Ministry of Magic, Mrs. Maxim and his delegation... They seem to hope to officially establish a more friendly cooperation relationship with the British Ministry of Magic..." Mr. Barcelona paused, "Their real intention is to use the official power of the British Ministry of Magic... Taking the line between Harris and Hogwarts, Mrs. Maxim expressed the attitude of their minister. The French are willing to use some of the efforts that we can choose to exchange for nuclear-capable technical support..."

"No need to say more about this 'good news'..." Owen said in a deep voice. "John, what is more imminent, besides this country trying to be close to us, what are the plans of those opponents?"

"Minister, many countries are not sure about it now, but the overall plan is only three. Those neutral factions that do not care about themselves are already considered a minority in the magic world after the floating city rises. They are either willing to show goodwill to us and willing to pay the price to admit defeat... Of course, more countries are not convinced. They try to unite and put pressure on us to surrender..." John looked up at Irving, who was in the upper head, and saw that he did not respond, so he shook his golden curly hair and continued, "Germany has banned the delivery of magic herbs and raw materials, and many African countries have also banned us from going to us.

Selling magical animals... and starting to pass bills to illegalize orders and transactions between merchants and umbrellas in their country..." Mr. Barcelona nodded to Penelo, who was sitting by the door of the conference room. "In addition, according to the report of the Red Umbrella Department, they seem to be trying to contact the pure blood family in the UK, and want to use Hogwarts to stay at the original site of Hogsmeade Village and the suspected monopoly of umbrellas to support them in making a fuss, trying to force us to compromise through this method. In addition, they seem to have formed an alliance and strengthened each other's trade orders to reduce economic losses."

There were bursts of discussion in the conference room. Although Harris's internal senior management knew some of his own forces' plans, many people seemed to be so nervous about their relationship with the magic circles all over the world.

"Everyone, calm down." Mr. Barcelona pressed down with both hands, and the wizards who were still blushing in the quarrels looked at the patriarch's confidant.

"Everyone, the next step is our countermeasures." Barcelona and others were calmed down and spoke calmly. "Faced with the situation where these countries want to unilateral bully trade protectionism and extreme pressure, our plan is very simple, which is to counteract cleanly... As for the ban on sales... we will contact his competitors, such as the second venue, and give some tariff discounts to ensure that they get their orders as a substitute... If it is a special product of some countries, our method is to give third-party countries some benefits... and pay something to meet our basic needs through them..."

"Good plan. Don't think about making money at this moment. It is more beneficial to us to pay for some benefits in exchange for time... But be careful of the conditions you pay. Many countries will take advantage of the situation or use favors to make us compromise on core issues." Owen nodded, and then said loudly, "Trade frictions will indeed bring us some pain and trouble in the short term, but in the long run, we have survived the transition period of nuclear energy, and when our magical items start to be produced in large quantities... it is to let these countries that try to suppress our country to pay for themselves..."

Irving's answer made some wizards who opposed Barcelona shut up. They are basically famous in the manufacturing industry. Although they have been nominally integrated with protective umbrellas, in fact, these merchant wizards are still very disgusted with this trade war. However, the patriarch set the tone, so the entire conference room is still silent and there are no opponents.

Owen glanced at everyone and nodded: "So, let's start the next discussion..."

"Wait! I have something to report! About the TV station!"
Chapter completed!
