Father Mavie

"If you want to force out the big shots behind the scenes, you can only let Mr. Steward encounter problems that you can't solve on your own."

Fat Ju's guess, obviously predicts Ma Wei's plan: "From the information sent back from Xiao Hei, the underground laboratory is heavily guarded, and Mr. Steward is stationed in person. For the big shots behind the scenes, the underground black market is certainly important, but the underground laboratory The chamber is the lifeblood."

"What are you going to do?" Fat Orange asked: "We have locked the specific location of the underground laboratory. Judging from their defense level, it should not be difficult to destroy."

"Don't make too much noise, otherwise it will lead to an investigation by the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses. The current situation in London is very sensitive. I don't want the Church of the Three Fate Goddesses to know about the existence of Londinium and alchemy technology, so..."

Ma Wei pondered: "The number of people who launch an attack cannot be too large, let alone use a large-scale destruction magic like the Black Sun. After the Irina leaves the port, let Levin and Edward do it."

After a short pause, Ma Wei added: "I brought the catnip you asked for, the stray cats in London, have you integrated them all?"

"It's not too far away. East London and South London are almost the same. The urban areas of West London and Westminster are a bit difficult." Fat Orange replied: "Although there are many stray cats in West London, they have a relationship with many domestic cats. That’s right, plus it’s a wealthy area, there’s no shortage of food, and they all have their own territories, so they can’t be subdued by force alone, and it’s easy to have catnip.”

Ma Wei nodded, and he was relieved that Fat Ju would handle the matter. If there was no problem, it would be no problem.

After handing over the funds and catnip to Fat Orange, Mavi left Canary Wharf and rushed to the Haverlin District without stopping, and came to the potion factory.

Amidst the huge roar of the machine, the production line was running slowly, and the potion was assembled and packed by the workers. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Several other machines have also arrived, and they can be assembled tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After the five production lines are fully operational, the factory can produce hundreds of gallons of potion every day, and the profit is quite considerable.

The problem of the production line is solved, and the next step is to find a dealer. Good goods need to be seen by the public. London is so big that a grocery store alone is too busy to handle so many goods.

Ma Wei found Freya who was busy in the factory, and he came to the factory just to find Freya.

"Freya, I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

Freya put down the account sheet in her hand, and seeing Ma Wei's serious expression, she brought him to the office: "Let's talk."

"Stull, Steven and the others want to become distributors of the Manstein Potion Company, and other nobles who invest want to open a shop selling potions. What do you think of this?"

"They are investors. I don't recommend letting them run the store. Otherwise, if there is a problem, it will be difficult to solve it." Freya doesn't care about the identities of Steven, Stuart and others. She is the Duke and has this Confidence: "The Chevalli family has so many properties. Take the racecourse as an example. The management personnel must be my confidantes, including other miscellaneous shops. If there is a problem, I can respond quickly and cancel or replace it."

"If you, Nicholas, allow partners such as Stewar and Steven to operate the store business, it will inevitably lead to a situation where your power will be emptied, and the chairman will become a production supplier. Production and distribution are a company. The most important business area, you must have a firm grasp on it.”

Ma Wei listened to what Freya said. Doing business is like running a church. For the church and the kingdom, the most important thing is the right to appoint and remove personnel in the military and politics. Only by mastering these two points can we guarantee own status.

Even if power is delegated, it is necessary to ensure that the highest leadership of the two is in their own hands.

In the church, Ma Wei is the pope who opened the sect and has the final right to interpret the teachings. The goddess also supports him unconditionally. His position is unbreakable and he says what he says.

But in the Manstein Potion Company, there are many partners, and the constraints are nothing more than his 'channels', 'connections', and 'technology'. These can only make the partners value him, but they cannot influence the other party's thoughts.

Freya did get to the point. If partners like Steven and Stewart were allowed to run the store, would they cheat on the accounts for profit?

What if the fraud is discovered?
Is it possible to risk arguing with the second prince and risk it?
Ma Wei can avoid risks before the conflict erupts, as long as the potion sales shop is replaced by his own people.

Ma Wei also thought this way before. He planned to recruit more than a dozen members of the Aurora Society to become store managers of the Manstein Potion Company. First, he could monitor the customers who came into the store to buy potions, and second, he didn't have to worry about the accounts. The problem of cheating.

"The bidding is about to start, and there are still three days left. Are the documents ready?" Freya asked suddenly.

"The paperwork has been done a long time ago. Now I want to open a shop." Ma Wei thought about it and said, "I plan to rent a few empty shops and put up the signboard of the Manstein Potion Company, but I don't want to operate the actual shop." business."

"An empty shop?"

"Well, time is tight, and all these shops cannot be opened for business within three days, so we can only settle for the next best thing, rent the shops first, increase the chips in the bidding, and then consider the issue of opening the shop."

"I don't think there's any problem." Freya said, "But I heard that the Third Prince has prepared a lot of money for this bidding. Nicholas, how much money have you prepared? Can you tell me the truth?"

Staring at Freya's plain eyes for a few seconds, Mavi said, "1200 million gold pounds."

"too little"

Freya shook her head: "Do you know how much money the third prince has prepared? Nearly 3000 million gold pounds! Even the eldest prince has prepared 2000 million gold pounds!"

"If this goes on, you won't be able to compete with them!"

"What did Shukri do! His capital should be stronger than Charles's!"

"Whether it's the eldest prince or the third prince, the situation is different from the second prince."

Ma Wei explained for the second prince in a rare way: "The eldest prince is the first crown prince, worthy of the name, and has a respected status. According to the primogeniture system, if there is no accident, the throne must belong to him, and King Rhodes IV has been in poor health in recent years. , As a result, many caring people have fallen to the camp of the eldest prince, most of the people who support the eldest prince are the Conservative Party, they are old aristocrats, with a strong background, but at the same time they hide their secrets."

"Not to mention the third prince. Behind him is the military. This is a mountain of gold. A little embezzlement of the army reserves can mobilize tens of millions of gold pounds."

"On the other hand, the second prince, who is caught in the middle, is hard to be noticed. Even if it is a marriage, he can only marry a family like the Baron. Although the actual strength of Baron Frederick is not inferior to the Duke, it sounds like he is always inferior. Support him Most of the MPs are from the Liberal Party, and there are more emerging aristocrats. In terms of overall strength, they are not as good as the old men of the Conservative Party."

Freya sighed and said: "If it's just about funding, I'm not so worried, but when Pope Umbly I was still an archbishop, he supported Prince Charles, and now he is Pope. I'm afraid there will be more Many people fell for the prince."

"I believe Umbly I will treat the bidding fairly." Ma Wei said lightly.

"why?"

"Because he is the Pope."

"What does this have to do with the Pope?"

Ma Wei smiled, lowered his eyes and said: "The position is different, and the behavior is different. During the archbishop period, Ubli still needed the support of the eldest prince, so he got close to the eldest prince. Now he has become the pope. He is the only goddess in the church." The most powerful figure outside, even the king has to bow his knees. Umbly I, who has reached this position, no longer cares about the eldest prince. He pays more attention to the views of believers and goddesses, and will never help the eldest prince He is selfish, you know, the goddess is watching him."

"You know a lot about the Pope." Freya blinked: "Why do you know Umbly I's state of mind so well? Even so sure?"

"This is just my personal speculation, and it belongs to normal logic." Ma Wei said with a smile: "I also want to thank Freya for keeping things a secret for me."

"Is it just a verbal thank you?"

"I'll treat you to lunch another day. There is a Solway Hotel, and the food in it is very good."

"Why not dinner?"

"Don't you have time?"

"Yes, of course." Freya forced a smile: "What time?"

"Anytime, if you have time, just talk to me directly."

"Then tomorrow, I have time tomorrow."

"no problem."

dong dong!

While talking, there was a knock on the door, and a worker came into the office with three cups of freshly brewed hot tea, put the three cups of tea in front of Freya, Mavi, and Junia, and then bowed and thought. to leave.

"and many more."

Ma Wei stopped him suddenly: "You look a bit unfamiliar, are you a factory employee?"

"Oh, I brought him." Freya said: "The factory has to assemble machines in the past two days, the production line cannot stop, and there is a shortage of manpower, so I brought a few engineers over."

"He's an engineer?"

"No, he is the coachman. Mr. Josiah, who drove me, wanted to go back to his hometown, so he introduced his nephew to me and took two days' shift for him."

"I see." Ma Wei nodded and said to the new coachman, "You can go."

After the new coachman left, Freya smiled even wider: "Are you worried about me?"

"Do you need me to worry?"

"I don't need it? Black Billy is a gift you gave me, and it has already helped me earn a lot of money." Freya said, "You can bring me luck, Nicholas."

"I hope so."

Ma Wei got up and said, "I'll go first."

"Ah."

After watching Ma Wei leave, Freya looked at the steaming tea in front of her, picked up the cup, exchanged it with Ma Wei's tea cup, and then took a small sip, muttering to herself while drinking: "Mr. I have no heirs, and my wife passed away a few years ago, so why should I go home? I really want to see you."

"Lyon! Leon! What happened to you today!"

In the evening, the bedroom door was pushed open heavily, and a girl with braids rushed into the room, angrily said to the distraught man sitting on the bed: "My parents finally came to London once, and you didn't even have dinner with them?" eat together?"

"Charlie."

On the bed, the man raised his dull eyes and glanced at his sister: "Sorry, I have no appetite today."

Seeing his appearance, Xia Li's dissatisfaction dissipated a lot at once, and she couldn't help asking: "You have been like this since you came back this morning. What happened?"

"Captain, no, it's fine, I'm just too tired, just take a rest."

When the words came to his lips, Leon Angel still couldn't speak.

He seldom complained to Xia Li about work matters, but today's captain's tragic situation hit him too hard. As his guide, the captain turned into a monster who was neither human nor ghost. The proud captain of the witcher suddenly became the object of strict surveillance by the church
Such a big gap made it difficult for him to accept.

Just because he was contaminated with an unknown liquid, is the church going to treat the captain like this?
Not only did they arrest the captain, but they also put him in a dungeon to plot research.
Leon Angel hugged his head, his heart was in a mess, not knowing what he should do and what he could do.

He wanted to protest, but the result of the protest was a temporary suspension. The church believed that he was mentally unstable, and asked him to go home to rest for two days, and report for duty two days later. He could only resume his original post after confirming that nothing had happened.

"Mom and Dad are leaving tomorrow afternoon, today is the last dinner, Leon, if you rest well, come and eat, I cooked your favorite curry."

Leon Angel didn't answer, curled up on the bed like a watermelon bug.

Xia Li left helplessly. As soon as she left, she stretched out an arm in the darkness and gently closed the door.

"You seem to be in pain, Mr. Angle."

"Who?!"

The strange man's voice made Leon Angel's heart tremble in shock, and he raised his head suddenly, only to find the man who had sneaked into the room at some time.

The man stood in the dark corner of the room, blending with the darkness, until just now he walked out of the darkness and made a sound.

Seeing that the other party was wearing a top hat, a straight tuxedo, and holding a walnut cane, Leon Angel felt that this outfit was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. After thinking for a long time, a figure appeared in his mind.

Felix von Manstein!
He's in the witcher profile!
"Mr. Felix?"

Leon sat up straight all of a sudden, and asked vigilantly, "Why did you come to my house?"

"Because I feel your pain, entanglement... and confusion."

Levin looked at Leon Angel and said quietly: "Your faith seems to have been shaken, right?"

"I"

"You're outraged at what happened to Captain Moses, aren't you?"

"I you."

Leon Angel stared blankly at Levin, with 1 doubts in his heart, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Nihilistic beliefs will of course lead to doubts from believers."

Levin took off his top hat and said slowly:
"When you realize this, it means that you have discovered the problem, which is good, because I will answer your doubts."
