Chapter 100: Temptation (Asking for Subscription!! )
In the wee hours of the morning, after putting Yunia to sleep, Mavi lay on the bed for a long time.
London's underground black market is actually related to the ancient gods!
This is not good news, once the forces of the old gods infiltrated London, it means that Ma Wei can not only think about the affairs of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, but also the enemies hidden in the shadows.
If he chose the camp of the second prince Shukri before, and only needs to slowly become the henchman of the second prince, now he must beware of the possible 'members of the Freedom Society' in the second prince's camp.
This probability is very high, after all, the second prince Shukri is the target of the Liberal Party, and the biggest difference between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party is that one supports free trade, new money; One supports the old aristocrats, old money.
Both the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party essentially rely on capital to control wealth, and their core ideas have many similarities with the purpose pursued by the Liberal Society.
Although the Conservative Party, which supports the old aristocracy, is more in line with the doctrine of the Liberal Party than the Liberal Party, the 'free trade' and 'liberal politics' pursued by the Liberal Party are more likely to be infiltrated by the members of the Liberal Party.
In contrast, the hereditary nobles who were originally the old capital of the Windsor Kingdom were more deeply influenced by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny.
But....
This is the truth, but Ma Wei does not think that there are no eyes and spies of Freedom members within the Conservative Party, and all forces that advocate capital will be slowly eroded by the Freedom Society.
Whether it is the camp of the eldest prince or the second prince, there are definitely members of the Freedom Society inside, especially after the London underground black market is related to the old gods, this phenomenon is almost certain.
In contrast, it is the camp of the third prince Andrew, that is, the military, who is the least likely to be infiltrated by the Freedom Society.
To secretly promote the truth in such a situation....
Looking at the pitch-black ceiling, Ma Wei suddenly thought that he should adapt measures to local conditions.
The situation in the Romanov Kingdom is different from that of the Windsor Kingdom.
The Romanov kingdom has been a long-standing evil, the primitive serfdom severely limited the development of industry, and the old nobles were lying on the merits and eating the old books, and did not want to forge ahead.
In the Kingdom of Windsor, which completed two industrial revolutions, the people's life was richer than that of other kingdoms, especially after the Glorious Revolution, the promulgation of the Law of Rights made the bourgeoisie and the new aristocracy become the new ruling force of the Kingdom of Windsor, limiting the royal power, and capitalism prevailed....
Thanks to the wealth accumulated in the Age of Discovery and the heritage brought by the Industrial Revolution, the social contradictions in the Kingdom of Windsor are still accumulating, the proletariat's food, clothing, housing and transportation are not facing the point of being difficult to maintain, and they can still survive by gritting their teeth, and 'free trade' and 'free governance' provide ordinary people with hope to cross classes, so that the contradictions between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie are difficult to break out in the short term, and radicalism may not be supported by the people.
To deal with the Kingdom of Windsor, it is necessary to change the way of thinking, fight steadily, and it is best to use gradualism, boil frogs in warm water, change the political situation little by little, gain the support of the people, and complete the spread of truth.
The operation of directly launching an armed coup d'état, leading the people to overthrow the government and establish a new regime, as in the Romanov kingdom, will not work in the kingdom of Windsor.
If you want to take down the Kingdom of Windsor, you must carefully package the ideas of the Church of Truth, put them on the stage of the political situation of the Kingdom of Windsor, slowly grasp the power, first control the kingdom and the people, and then solve the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, achieve bloodless conflicts like the Glorious Revolution, and take power smoothly.
The plank road is repaired in the light, and the warehouse is in the dark.
First of all, we have to occupy enough voice in the parliament, such as building a party that belongs to the truth, and this task can be entrusted to the fourth prince Arthur, so that he can form the 'Labor Party', and I will support it silently behind the scenes...... Ma Wei thought to himself.
There is also the underground black market, regarding the problem of the ancient gods, the fourth prince Arthur may not have enough strength to solve it, so he can only pin his hope on Ma Wei, which is also the mission of the church.
The kingdom corresponds to the worldly powers of the Free Society, and the church corresponds to the transcendent beings of the Old Gods.
Originally, everyone was supposed to do their part, but if Ma Wei wanted to spread the truth and end the Apocalypse Era, he had to put in some more effort.
The Kingdom Church has two hands, and no one can be left behind.
There must be pressure, if London hadn't been infiltrated by the forces of the Old Gods, Ma Wei would have been able to relax, as a result....
Things do not turn out the way you want.
So he had insomnia.
"Investigate the owner of the Nightingale Club first, since 'Mr. Butler' hid those werewolves in the basement of the club, it means that the club must have something to do with the underground black market.... Well, investigate the club first and see if you can find some clues, if the club's line doesn't work, you'll have to go to Brookwood and contact the underground black market. ”
After finalizing the plan, Ma Wei closed his eyes and tried his best to empty his brain, relax his body, and stop thinking nonsense.
Ten minutes later....
A slight snoring sounded.
Following.
On the second day of the new year, many shops were closed, Manstein's potions grocery store was not open, there were still many witchers and police patrols in the city, and no trace of the werewolves was still found, and many people thought they had escaped from London.
Ma Wei spent the morning writing a detailed business bid, which he planned to send to the second prince Shukry in the afternoon, and secretly asked for news about the Nightingale Club under the pretense that he would look at it first.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the information, Ma Wei asked the communication and Daniel to go out to investigate the Nightingale Club, to be precise, to ask the communication to go out and pay the membership fee, join all the well-known gentlemen's clubs in London, and investigate which other nobles and gentry in the club were in the name of membership.
The real target is, of course, the Nightingale club, and joining other clubs is just a pretense, but Marvey had planned to let the communication into the upper class of London anyway, and there was no problem in joining the major clubs.
After lunch, Mavi and the communication went their separate ways, the communication and Daniel went to the major clubs, and the Mavi took Yunia to the villa of the second prince Shukri in Regent's Park, and Edward stayed to watch the family.
"Nicholas!"
The second prince Shukri, who happened to be resting in the villa, heard Ma Wei's arrival and hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Why are you here?" ”
"I sorted out a commercial tender and brought it over to Your Highness to see if there are any problems."
"Okay, good, please come in!"
Seeing that Ma Wei was so concerned about the bidding, the second prince Shukri was also very happy, and after ordering the maids to serve tea, he took Ma Wei and Yunia to the living room, took the commercial bid, and read it carefully.
"Hmm... Well... Well! ”
After reading the bid, the second prince Shukri was very satisfied and said: "All aspects are described in detail, and the writing is very good, that is, it is divided into aspects.... Nicholas, I am afraid that the five and a half points you proposed still need to be considered. ”
"Your Highness, how much do you think is appropriate?"
The second prince, Shukry, thought for a while and said, "The highest price that the church can accept is seventy and three cents, seven for the church, and three for the dealer.... Of course, I hope that Nicholas can make more money, after all, you are going to open a listed company, the more profits the company makes, the more dividends the shareholders will pay, and I also plan to buy a share, but the situation on the church side must be considered, and seventy points is already the limit. ”
Ma Wei bowed his head and said, "Since Your Highness said so, then change it to seventy-three." ”
At the beginning, Ma Wei's ideal price was 73, and he knew that the church could not let a distributor take 50% of the sales, after all, there was still a cost, so he proposed 55 percent just to find out the highest price that the church could accept.
When talking about business, the most important thing is to 'talk'.
After reading the bid, the second prince Shukri pulled Ma Wei to talk about other topics, the maids brought tea and pastries, and Yunia ate happily, and soon it was afternoon.
"Your Highness, have you caught those werewolves who have infiltrated London?"
"How do you know that a werewolf has infiltrated the royal capital?"
"Mrs. Freya and I were witnesses to the celebration in Hyde Park yesterday when the werewolves committed the murder."
"Oh-"
The second prince Shukri suddenly realized, and his expression immediately became ambiguous: "It seems that Nicholas, you and Freya are making rapid progress...."
"We're not making any progress, we're just ordinary friends shopping together..."
Smiling, Ma Wei changed the topic again: "Before I came to London, I heard that there are many gentlemen's clubs in London, each with its own characteristics, Felix has always wanted to join one, I don't know if Your Highness has any recommended clubs?" It's best to be relatively close to Flower Street. ”
"A gentleman's club closer to Flower Street...."
The second prince was in trouble for a while, who didn't know that East London was a slum?
Where would there be a top club in such a dirty and chaotic area?
Seeing that the second prince couldn't find a suitable target, Ma Wei reminded pointedly: "I heard that on the south bank of the Thames, in the Lambers district, there is a club called Nightingale that is very good...."
"Nightingale Club?"
With a raised eyebrow, the second prince Shu Ke Limeng raised his head and stared directly at Ma Wei:
"Who told you this?"
