Chapter 207
I’ll give you 20%
George counted the galleons, one by one, very seriously: "Mr. Bagman, we won't believe what you say."
"Harry, look more carefully?"
"This damn fat man is poor, and now he suddenly has so much money. This is very strange and wrong."
Fred nodded in agreement: "Even if he bets on Harry, you will win, this is only the second round! It's only the second round, how could he?"
Ludo interrupted: "Nothing is impossible."
"I said, I learned my lesson and will never be as stupid as I was at the Quidditch World Cup again."
Harry took the Galleons handed over by George and examined it carefully: "It is indeed real. It has goblin magic on it."
"How did you make so much money?" Fred's tone was enthusiastic and earnest, and he wanted to give Ludo a shoulder and a slap on the back.
"This is a business secret." Ludo shook his head proudly, "How could I possibly pass it on?"
"The reason why gamblers make more money is simply to place bigger bets." Harry interrupted him with a cold tone, "Is it a handicap about how many points I can lead other warriors?"
Ludo's face froze.
"If Karkaroff gives me even one more point, or if you give Krum one more point, you will earn more?" Harry continued.
Ludo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Harry! You don't know, Umbridge, that damn woman!"
"I just won three thousand galleons."
"If she hadn't suddenly become stupid, I already gave Krum three points, but she still dared to give Krum six points, even five points, letting you lead by thirty points, I would have won five thousand Galleons!"
George and Fred stared at Ludo in disbelief.
Three thousand?
How come there are so many?
"How did you do it?" George asked.
Fred rushed to Ludo's prevarication and took the lead: "You can't talk about commercial secrets. You are using Harry to make money. At least you must make it clear in front of Harry."
Ludo glanced at Harry and shrank his neck: "Okay, actually it's not a secret."
"I'm actually a very reputable person."
George and Fred clicked their tongues in unison, with contemptuous expressions on their faces.
"Why do you have such an expression? What I said is true." Ludo looked at them with dissatisfaction and sorrow, "I was negligent in the Quidditch World Cup and gave you too high a multiplier."
"But I am very fair to others!"
Harry suddenly interrupted: "You don't dare to lie to adults, you only dare to lie to children."
Ludo was startled and wanted to curse back, but looking at the Sorting Hat around his waist, he suppressed the curse words: "Besides, there is also my identity."
"Head of the Department of Physical Education and Sports at the Ministry of Magic."
George and Fred clicked again.
"Well, I know that in the eyes of you extraordinary little wizards, the Ministry of Magic is indeed nothing." Ludo shrugged, but he was very indifferent to this kind of thing, "It is true."
"The Ministry of Magic can't control anything except the officials of the Ministry of Magic."
"But for ordinary wizards, the Ministry of Magic is still somewhat convincing. Even a child as capable as Percy is addicted to the Game of Thrones."
At this point, he paused and rubbed his face: "I'm a little off topic. What I want to say is that I relied on my identity to bluff and deceive, and opened another handicap that is not inferior to the Quidditch World Cup."
"I bet Harry can beat second place by at least ten points."
"If it exceeds 10 points, I can take away one-fifth of the total bet amount. If it exceeds 20 points, I can take away one-third. If it exceeds 30 points, I can take away one-half."
"Forty points, I can take away 80%. If it exceeds fifty points, the ten thousand galleons are mine."
Harry nodded: "No wonder you are so excited."
"Umbridge still owes me two thousand Galleons!" Ludo waved his fist fiercely, "That damn woman, what did she think?"
George frowned: "But how did you convince those people?"
"Ten thousand Galleons, a full ten thousand Galleons!"
"If you lose, how much do you have to pay?"
Ludo shook his head with some guilt: "That's not important. What's important is that I won."
George and Fred looked eager.
Hermione nodded.
Harry also spoke: "Mr. Bagman, I'm curious too."
Ludo sighed: "It's actually very simple, just enough Galleons. I told them that if Harry doesn't exceed ten points, I will pay them double the Galleons."
"If Harry doesn't get first place, I will pay five times the amount."
"You know, as long as there are enough benefits, anyone can take risks."
George's tone was exaggerated: "That's at least 20,000 Galleons, or even 50,000 Galleons. How can they believe you have so many Galleons?"
"The identity of a sports director?"
"Stop it, we all know how poor the Ministry of Magic is."
Fred added: "Except when subsidizing creatures such as goblins, centaurs, and Veela."
"Of course I can do it!" Ludo pinched his waist, unable to reason straight, nor feeling strong, "You know my method, I can't hide it from Mr. Potter, but it's enough to hide it from other adult wizards who are doing nothing."
"You plan to deceive those people just like you deceived us when you lose?" Fred exclaimed.
Hermione glanced over and saw the look in Ron's eyes when he copied "flip one week" into "flip seven days."
Ludo shook his head: "How is that possible!"
"I have already bought a ferry ticket to Burkina Faso, and I will not push myself into a dead end."
Harry looked at him coldly.
Ludo immediately gave a French military salute: "Of course, Mr. Potter, don't worry, I will definitely take the ten thousand galleons and pay back the money I owe your godfather before running away."
"I have great credibility."
Hermione couldn't help but said: "How can a person who talks about running away so openly have the nerve to say that he has credibility?"
"Of course I do." Ludo shook his head. This time he felt more confident. "If I don't have credibility, how can I say these things?"
As he said that, he looked at Harry: "I want to tell you the specific content of the third round of projects right now."
"But as an official of the Ministry of Magic, I have signed a contract with the Triwizard Cup, and I cannot break the contract."
Harry said nothing, only stretched out his hand and grasped it in the void, trying to hold the breath of the contract in his hand materially like Dumbledore.
But as soon as my fingertips touched it, it was solid for a moment, and its aura immediately disappeared.
Ludo didn't notice this strangeness and continued: "But I can tell you the news about the handicap. I plan to open another one. The bet is how long it will take you to get the Triwizard Cup."
"At least twenty minutes, if it can be more than ten minutes it would be best."
Harry still said nothing.
Lu Duo stretched out his hand in pain and raised two fingers: "How about I share 20% of your profit?"
I was still moving today and had to reconnect the network cables. It took me until about five o'clock to complete all the miscellaneous things.
But everything is settled, and the update will start tomorrow!!!
