9 Back to Britain
Time skip: 2 months
Ilan Burke: 10 years old
Alfred and I finally came back to Britain. Burke's mansion becomes even more magnificent that I remembered (well, I'm the richest guy in Europe after all). The mansion has all the luxury that we could think about and we put as much protection as possible, probably only Gringotts is better protected.
For the new companies, Daedalus is already operating as it used the old Lefrançois's company as the foundation. Not only that, Daedalus is working In the Olympus Mall construction. It will finish before I go to Hogwarts.
Hera Foundation started smoothly too. We bought a huge old mansion and restructured it. Now, Hera has four children caregiver (we made sure to be careful in the employment, we even put a five times of a normal salary. We don't want any children mistreat or lack in the care) and 45 orphans:
- 2 children with 13 years
- 8 children with 11 years
- 12 children with 10 years
- 8 children with 9 years
- 12 children with 8 years
- 3 children with 7 years
8 children already started this year Hogwarts (with the delay of a few days as Hogwarts starts in September first) and 12 in the next (with me). Most of their cost will be supported by Hera as Hogwarts and Ministry are having problems with money. Moreover, I don't want to provide seconds, they will live like a middle class (depends on their abilities and supports, I will increase the aid), it will show the benefits of our foundation. The problem is the two children with 13 years as they already passed the Hogwarts's started time. They will have to pass in a test (Dubles is trying to easier their entrance).
Before we go to Gringotts, Ministry and Hera, Alfred and I were finishing some business
"We bought the Daily Prophet, Young Master. Now we need to cut the Ministry influences in it"
"Yeah, but not hard to do. That's incredible of how much our society is corrupted or been like a sheep. It would be costly, but we could take Britain Ministry now if we wanted."
"That's true. But Barney would put his chickens in our way. But nothing to be too preoccupied"
I nodded, but we wouldn't do something so worthless. Soon or later, Britain will be in our grasp. I changed to another important subject:
"Alfred, we should add one more CEO. I think we need a partner in Apollo. The broom market has more players and is more competitive than I thought about. They are also smarter than I expected; some united themselves, and others started to invest heavenly. They realize that if they let us lead, it would be difficult to catch us up (it was normal in the past to one of them leading in the production of the fastest broom for some years. But none became so dominant in professional leagues and loved so fast by the fans. We are overwhelming them in sells with a similar product – that's the power of a desired brand and a well-done marketing)"
"In Britain, there are: the Shacklebolt, Macmillan and Longbottom. They were against the Death Eaters, can provide money and influence. They would be the best choice" reply Alfred
"Hum… Mrs. Longbottom is a no go. She wouldn't be a good CEO nor do I think she has any knowledge about quidditch. Talk to Order, Shacklebolt and Macmillan. See who fits, or find another name"
"Good, I will talk to them. Ah, Young Master, returning to the news, The Quibbler didn't accept any of our offers. Should we do something?"
"Humm, no. It's not an important newspaper. On the opposite, it has a weird reputation. Just make sure to pay attention to what it's reporting"
"As you wish. What about Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black? We didn't find any trance for Peter and his finger was already cremated"
"We can't do anything now, nor do we need it. We will have a chance to visit Sirius and discovery the truth" I got up "let's do our business"
After, Alfred and I went to Diagon Ally
