Chapter 156: New Funds (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
"Go home and wait for news, if you pass the interview, we will let you know as soon as possible."
At 9 p.m., Mavi sent off the last applicant, dropped the pen that had been inked several times, collapsed backwards, and woke him up by pushing Stewart, who was dozing off with his cheek resting next to him.
"Hmm... Yes? Stewart opened his eyes blankly, looked at the empty conference room and said, "It's over?" ”
"It's over." Ma Wei picked up the notepad in front of him: "A total of 562 applicants, all of them have been interviewed." ”
Ma Wei's interview speed has been very fast, at first three minutes one, after finding that such a day can not be finished, the speed again, let two candidates interview at the same time, and then add to three....
Hurry and hurry, and finally end in time for Monday.
During this period, Ma Wei only went to the toilet a few times, and even lunch and dinner were solved in the conference room.
Such a huge amount of work almost drained his body, but fortunately, it was finally over.
"Nicholas...."
After reading the interview record, Stewart asked: "There are 35 talents who have passed the interview directly today, and the rest are all to be determined, Manstein Potions needs hundreds of employees.... It's not a way to go on like this, why don't you ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince for help? Or tell my dad to send a few people to help us. ”
The most scarce place is the Potions Factory.
According to Mavi's plan, Manstein Potions will carry out trade cooperation such as the purchase and sale of finished potions, as well as the processing, import and export of potions materials.
For example, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate will provide them with a certain amount of finished potions and a large number of potion raw materials, while the Manstein Potions Company needs to classify these potions and materials in detail, and finally sell the potions and materials directly or make the materials into potions according to customer needs.
Considering the possibility that some customers do not want finished potions as long as the raw materials are used, a department must be set up in the factory to be responsible for the overall planning and management of potion materials.
These tasks require a large number of people, with at least 150 employees in the Potions Factory alone, and at least 50 more in warehousing and freight.
In particular, after the Potions trade with other countries is officially launched, it is necessary to establish branches in other kingdoms to carry out a series of businesses such as local acquisition and sales.
In addition to this, Manstein Potions also needed to set up its own maritime subsidiary to transport potions.
In short, this is a huge industrial chain, from the output of raw materials to processing, transportation, and sales, such complicated things need to be done by Manstein Potions himself.
In the early days, the most important potions production factories were built and the quality of the potions produced was ensured after uniform and detailed training.
"Quality is important, Stuhl." Ma Wei got up and walked around the conference room, stretching his paralyzed limbs: "Any company, if there is a problem with the quality of the goods, it will definitely be criticized by consumers, especially a large company like ours that conducts high-end trade, and the customers are the church, the king and other upper classes, once there is a quality problem, the trade will be interrupted." ”
"That's right."
Stewart nodded thoughtfully: "People spend money, we have to do a good job of the goods, the quality is not good, people naturally refuse to continue to cooperate." ”
"When does the bidding start?"
"February 17th." Stewart counted the time: "There is almost a month left. ”
"It's been a month...."
Ma Wei pondered: "It's not long, it's not short, when the listing ends tomorrow and the funds are collected, it will be necessary to establish a suitable production line, and it will take at least half a month to train employees, plus other trivial matters.... Time is of the essence. ”
At the bidding meeting, the Manstein Potions Company was sure to come up with the goods produced by the company, that is, the finished potion.
The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate has to choose not only a company with strong sales capabilities, but also its ability to make potions to meet their requirements.
In the era of the Industrial Revolution, industrialization, institutionalization, and standardization were the most basic conditions.
It is impossible to sustain a large company that trades between countries by manpower.
"Let's get here today."
Ma Wei put away the notepad on the table, planning to go home and read the interview record slowly, Stewart, who had been sitting all day, was already sleepy, heard the meeting, and left the company with his fiancée Abigail, Ma Wei walked out of the conference room, let the security personnel brought by Stewart downstairs watch the door, and went straight to the Sovay Hotel across the street.
"Big brother, are you done?"
In the corner of the window in the hall, the source saw Ma Wei coming and moved to the side to make way for him.
"Almost."
At 10 p.m., there were not many guests in the Sovay Hotel, and if it weren't for the wait for Mavi, it would have closed long ago.
After sitting down, Mavi said in Frederick's language: "Jacob, they have managed to infiltrate London, and they have changed quite a lot, and they seem to be doing well, and they are all on this record sheet." ”
Daniel picked up the interview record and looked at it a few times, and asked a question: "Although Mr. Jacob and they are here, there are only a dozen of them, and the Potions Factory needs more than 100 employees, even if we recruit all of them, we still don't have enough people.... What if the factory is such an important place, let other spies get in? ”
"For ordinary production lines, it's good to arrange one of your own people to be the foreman manager, what really matters is the high-level potions processing department, high-grade potions like mercury blood, you must set up an independent production line, this production line, all arrange your own people, to ensure that the formula will not be leaked."
Ma Wei picked up a piece of pizza that was a little cold and said, "As for the storage of goods and the storage of finished potions, whether it is your own person is not so important, it would be good to send someone to keep an eye on it." ”
"We still don't have enough manpower now, but fortunately, there is still a month before the bidding officially begins, and before that, let Dino send the members of the Aurora Club to London, and when the Aurora Club arrives, we won't worry about manpower."
"Ordinary members of the Aurora Society can go by sea, and the Demon Hunter's investigation methods have no effect on humans, but..."
Daniel glanced at Edward, "Inside the Aurora Society, there are many members of the Blood Clan and the Snake Man Clan, and they can't pass the Demon Hunter's inspection. ”
"It's easy, I'm going to use the funeral train route." Ma Wei took a bite of pizza and took a sip of black tea: "Ordinary members of the Aurora Society enter London through the port with the freighter transporting potions by sea, like the blood clan and the snake people, who have special identities such as the blood clan and the snake people, use the funeral train to quietly infiltrate London, anyway, the East End of London is so chaotic, more people and fewer people can't find out." ”
London's East End has always been known for its chaos, but it's not the law and order that is the most chaotic, it's the population.
The chaos of the population has caused chaos in law and order.
The Royal Government of Windsor did not carry out a large-scale census, and there are many black households in London, they have no identity, and some are prostitutes who have been trafficked into London, prostitutes give birth to children, and hide in the slums, which over time makes the chaos in the East End of London more difficult to rectify.
After all, the police system has only been established for more than a decade, and the previous local management has just been abolished, and now it is a chaotic moment of the transition between the old and new systems, and it is impossible to return to normal in the short term.
The chaotic order gave the Church of Truth an opportunity, Ma Wei understood the importance of the census, and after his official accession to the throne, his first papal encyclical was to conduct a comprehensive census, and it was necessary to find out the permanent population everywhere and register the identity information, if this could not be done....
And how can elections be conducted in all aspects?
"Tiffany will be back in a few days, and then...."Ma Wei poured himself another cup of hot tea and suddenly changed the subject: "Communication, Miss Helena, haven't you been looking for you lately?" ”
"Originally, she invited me to go out on an outing today, but big brother, you are going to have a job fair today, so I didn't go." The communication took a sip of Brandy and said, "I can't delay the business because of the love of my children!" ”
You've been fooling around outside for a day today, and you've been in the conference room for half an hour, embarrassed to get down to business....
Came, Eunia, and Daniel came to the office at noon, and they sat in the conference room for a while, feeling bored, so they left the conference room under the pretext of having lunch and never returned.
Their absence didn't have much impact on the job fair, but the excuse that the communication said that he had refused the date for the sake of business made Ma Wei roll his eyes and dismiss.
Touch the fish, just touch the fish, make it seem like you're tired!
The waiter at the restaurant brought the freshly prepared meal, and the owner of the Sovey Hotel, Kidos, who was the second prince, came over with a wine glass and exchanged a few words with Ma Wei.
After Kidtos left, Mavi talked about another serious matter:
"The list of information of the witcher, you have already obtained it, have you found a target?"
Speaking of witchers, the communication finally became serious, sat up straight, and said in a low voice: "After consulting with Daniel, I picked a low-level witcher named Leon Angels. ”
"This afternoon, while the eldest brother is in the interview, we went to Leon's house according to the address on the document, and found that he has only one sister, his parents are not in London, he lives in a small apartment in South London, belongs to the 17th squad of the witchers, and is usually responsible for the train inspection at Waterloo station."
"It just so happens that the funeral train is departing from Waterloo Station, and if I replace Leon Ingres, I can still help in an emergency, what do you think, big brother?"
So you didn't touch the fish.... I'm really getting down to business....
Mavi licked his lips, wiped the cream stains from the corners of Yunia's mouth with a handkerchief, and said softly: "In terms of identity, Leon Ingres is very suitable, but he has a younger sister.... You kid won't be...."
"No! Don't talk nonsense! Am I that kind of person! ”
As if he had been greatly insulted, the back writer's neck turned red: "Big brother, I'm scared now!" Tiffany, Gina, and Helena.... I haven't solved their problems yet, so how can I bother to provoke other women! ”
"Ahem...."Daniel reminded in time: "Big brother, Leon Ingres's sister is only 14 years old this year, and she is attending a school run by the church, Felix should not be so dirty. ”
"That's right! Big brother, don't you know me yet? I like older ones! Lai Wen confidently said his sexual fetishes.
I like the older ones....
Thinking of the fact that Wen once touched the queen's boudoir, Ma Wei looked solemn and thought to himself:
You kid, you have a heavy taste....
The heavy taste of the communication has become a good thing for now.
At least Mavi was sure that the communication had nothing to do with Leon Ingres' 14-year-old sister.
But....
"Leon Ingres has a family, he comes home every day, so how can you go to a high-class dinner? This is in conflict with our original plan! ”
"We've also looked into this matter." "Leon Ingres's squad, which often patrols south London at night, sometimes does not go home until the next morning, and his sister has to go to class early the next morning, so the time is staggered," the communication said. ”
"Even so, you have to go home often."
It was impossible for Mavi to let the communication waste all his time on the witcher, joining the witcher was not in his plan, it was the communication's own decision, after the establishment of the company on his side, he needed the communication's assistant, where could he let him pull back and forth with Leon Ingres's sister all day long?
"When something happens, Gina can take my place and disguise herself as Leon Ingres." The communication says.
"Can she?"
Ma Wei believed the communication because he had deceived him and Holmes by disguising himself as Inspector Macmillan, and although the disguise was still seen through in the end, the communication's disguise was still recognized by them, but Gina, on the other hand, did not show her disguise skills.
"Big brother, Gina is a student I taught, and I have already taught her how to disguise." The communication patted his chest and promised, "She's fine!" ”
Unsure of things, the communication has never been comprehensive, he must have his own reason for being so sure, Ma Wei didn't say anything more, and agreed with his proposal.
After eating, taking the carriage back to Flower Street, after washing, Ma Wei was about to continue to tell the story of the pirates to Unia, when he suddenly heard a slight knock on the door downstairs, and when he went downstairs to open the door, he found that it was Woolf, the owner of the Dirty Duck Tavern across the street.
"Mr. Woolf, is there anything that is the matter at such a late hour?"
The Dirty Duck Tavern was brightly lit and lit with warm firelight, and the night was a good time for revelry, the Dirty Duck Tavern was doing a good business, the guests were holding wooden wine glasses and colliding, and the sound of the accordion could be faintly heard, how could Woolf come and knock on the door when she was supposed to greet guests in the store?
"Mr. Manstein, a guest just now asked me to give you this package."
Woolf carried a square package the size of a human head in her arms, which was tied around and around with hemp rope, and looked like a ball of yarn, and I don't know what it contained.
"Which guest gave it to you?"
"A very mysterious guest in a hat." Woolf recalled: "It is a little strange to say, as soon as he entered the shop he asked for a cup of malt beer, sat in the far corner, sat from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., and when he had just left, he asked me to give you this package, and gave me a tip of 1 gold pound, and was very willing to pay for it." ”
The demon spirit wooden box in his arms did not warn, proving that the contents of the package should not be extraordinary items, Ma Wei took the package and found that the package was heavy, estimated to weigh more than a dozen pounds.
"Mr. Manstein...."Woolf glanced around, leaned in front of Mavi, and whispered, "Although he gave me 1 gold pound, I still want to remind you that the guest does not look like a good person, it is better to be careful in everything, it is better to go to Father Michel in Whitechapel, there is no problem with him!" ”
Looking for help from the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate?
Are you kidding....
No matter what was in the package, it was impossible for Mavi to open it in front of Father Michelle, and what Father Michelle could solve, he could also solve, so why bother?
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll think about it."
After saying that, Ma Wei walked into the house with the package, closed the door, and heard the communication coming down from the upper floor, looked at the package and said, "What is it?" ”
“.... I don't know. ”
Mavey put the package on the counter, thought about it, and called Edward to open it.
The Blood Clan is extremely difficult to kill, and the first generation of Blood Clan like Edward is even more linked to immortality, even the Black Sun can't kill it, let alone a small package?
Let it come out of the box, safest.
Edward's fingers picked slightly, and the hemp rope that tied and wrapped was broken one by one, and the outermost layer of oilcloth was lifted, and inside was a small wooden box, which was still locked, and after picking the lock....
In the box, there is a bunch of large general tickets!
Seeing the money, Ma Wei immediately understood that this package was sent by Arthur!
The money he raised from the Knights of the Round Table needed to be given to Mavey, and he couldn't give it to his face, so he used Woolf as an intermediary!
In addition to the general ticket with a denomination of 100 gold pounds, there was also a large deposit receipt, worth 1.7 million gold pounds, which should be all of Gawain's deposits, and at the bottom of the box, Ma Wei also turned out several gold bricks.
"It's a general ticket and a gold brick...."The source swallowed and salivaed: "The fourth prince has moved the safe!" ”
"That's all he can raise."
Ma Wei poured all the contents of the box on the counter, one by one, not counting a few gold bricks, Arthur raised 3 million gold pounds for him, which is not a small amount, especially for the nobles who are not welcomed in the West Island, this money is probably all their belongings.
"Arthur has high hopes for us..."
With emotion, Ma Wei put away the general ticket, weighed a few gold bricks, and looked solemn.
The 3 million gold pounds sent by Arthur, plus the 7.7 million gold pounds raised by the second prince before, and minus the 1.5 million gold pounds lent to the eldest prince, Ma Wei's hands already have a huge sum of 9.2 million gold pounds.
Now he is not exaggerating to say that he is the richest businessman in all of London!
Being able to raise so much money also means that all investors feel that Manstein Potions can bring them a more generous return than 9.2 million gold pounds!
"Tomorrow is Monday."
Ma Wei glanced at the time:
"There are still 9 hours to go, the London Stock Exchange will open, we can't live up to Arthur's expectations, this money, must be used to the maximum effect!"
