Chapter 163: Eton College (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
The eldest prince Charles is a typical pragmatist, no matter what he does, he always considers the pros and cons first.
Helping the fourth prince become the president of the Educators Association does him no good, and he even has to pay a lot, which is completely meaningless in the short term.
"It's for the sake of the Kingdom of Windsor." Arthur said, "Why do you want benefits? ”
"Because I'm not a king."
The eldest prince Charles leaned back and said in a joking tone: "Arthur, you want to be the president of the Educators Association, not that I want to be, you don't prevaricate me for the reason of the Windsor Kingdom, support you as president, the people who need me compete with the Liberal Party in the parliament, my father supports you as a father's business, it has nothing to do with me." ”
Arthur's brow furrowed: "Don't you see what Nicholas they want to do?" ”
"What do they want to do?"
Grabbing the Times newspaper on the table, Arthur pointed to the news on it and said: "The purpose behind Nicholas's newspaper calling for the Kingdom to establish an Association of Educators is to open the market for schools!" Various well-known schools such as Yinton College and Oxbridge are places where countless aristocrats once studied, and their children, including Charles your son, are among them! ”
"These people are the main force of potion consumption in the future! Nicholas wants to use this to build momentum and raise the stock price of Manstein Potions! ”
Why do you limit your sights to working with the church? Potions are consumables, and they are destined to enter the sinking market in the future, and if you don't make a move now, it will be too late in the future! ”
After Arthur finished speaking, the eldest prince Charles gradually straightened his waist and sat upright, and his demeanor changed from the initial banter to a little more solemn, and he could hear the emotions mixed in Arthur's tone, full and rich, not like lying.
In fact, the eldest prince also felt that what Arthur said was reasonable, he knew yesterday that Ma Wei donated 20,000 gold pounds to Yinton College, but he didn't take it to heart, there are more nobles who donate to Yinton School, Jonas is studying at Yinton School, is there any problem with donations?
But when the news of Marvey's donation to Yinton College is combined with his call in the Times for the Kingdom to establish an Association of Educators, the situation changes subtly.
Ma Wei's donation to Yindun College is likely to be just a stepping stone, and the educators' association to be established later may be his real purpose!
"After the stock exchange opens today, the share price of Manstein Potions will definitely rise a little." Arthur said with a straight face: "Charles, you have no talent for business, in this matter, you have fallen behind Shukri and them, if you continue to be indifferent, in the future, the potions market in London will probably be the world of the Manstein family." ”
The eldest prince Charles felt that Arthur was serious, and even if he allowed Ma Wei to set up the Educators' Association, it would be impossible to completely lose the Potions competition, but....
As the saying goes, what the enemy wants to do is what you want to stop.
Since Ma Wei wants to establish an educators' association, he should go one step faster and compete with them!
No matter what Ma Wei wants to do, he can't let him succeed!
Thinking of this, the eldest prince Charles spoke: "I will support your candidacy for president of the Educators Association in the next Congress, but.... Arthur, I helped you today, and you will help me in the future. ”
"As you wish."
..................................................
Yinton College.
In class, listening to the tutor on the stage, Daniel yawned boredly, turned his head to look out the window, and London was shrouded in haze, the town of Windsor, where Yinton School is located, was sunny, without a trace of pollution, the sky was blue, fluttering a few white clouds, warm and warm.
Syllable!
Just as Daniel was enjoying the sun, a ball of paper suddenly hit his head, Daniel turned his head, bent down to pick up the paper ball on the ground, and just opened it, he heard Mentor Wilmer on the stage say, "Jonas! Stand up! ”
Daniel stood up and watched Tutor Wilmer come over, holding a ring ruler in his hand, this is a tool used by the school to punish disobedient children, every school has a method of corporal punishment of children, but Yinton Public School is different, the students who take classes here are all nobles and famous families, either rich or expensive, the principal has repeatedly ordered the tutor not to physically punish students, at most verbal warnings, or punish students to write a letter of repentance.
The ring ruler in Mentor Wilmer's hand can only serve as a deterrent, even if Daniel really stretches out his hand for him to fight, he doesn't dare to wave it.
"As a transfer student, you are already behind the course progress, and you are not paying attention to the lecture!" Tutor Wilmer reprimanded harshly, "Your brother, Mr. Nicholas, has gone to great lengths to send you to Yinton College, and he has broken your heart!" Can't you just be a little more aggressive? ”
Ma Wei broke his heart for himself?
Hearing this, Daniel burst out laughing, but he really didn't hold back.
Ma Wei was worried that he was sure, but he said that he was trying his best, hoping that he would study hard and be more competitive or something.... Pure.
Doesn't Daniel know what kind of temper Mavi has?
Ma Wei sent him to Yindun Public School, not to let him take classes well!
"You're still laughing?!" Mentor Wilmer raised his eyebrows and looked at the paper ball in Daniel's hand: "Read the contents of the paper ball out loud!" To all students! ”
"Mentor, are you sure?"
"Hurry up!"
Daniel shrugged, picked up the paper ball, and read aloud: "Jonas, I heard that your eldest brother donated 20,000 gold pounds to Yindun College?" I overheard it yesterday when I was passing by the door of the office, and the principal had given a slap in the face of Tutor Wilmer yesterday! Saying that he was too strict with his students and that it was permissible for students to give gifts to each other..... And last night, Tutor Wilmer stepped on a piece of dog shit while walking, and he was so angry that he scolded and greeted the dog owner's whole family, but in fact, the shit was pulled by the golden retriever raised by the principal's wife...."
At this point, Daniel paused slightly, looked at Wilmer, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and asked tentatively, "Mentor, do I still want to continue reading?" ”
“.... Read! Mentor Wilmer gritted his teeth.
"Well, that's what you asked for." Daniel cleared his throat: "Anyway, Mentor Wilmer's wife, I had a good conversation with a young baron at the opening ceremony the day before yesterday, Jonas, do you think Mentor Wilmer's wife will..."
"Enough! That's enough!
! ”
Mentor Wilmer suddenly erupted, yelling hysterically, snatching the ball of paper from Daniel's hand and tearing it apart: "What have you been doing all day!
! Anton is Lisette's cousin! They are cousins!
! ”
Anton was the name of the young baron, and as for Lisette, she was naturally the wife of Mentor Wilmer.
The contents of the paper ball, gossip to the point that it can no longer be gossiped, but Daniel knows that this paper ball was deliberately discovered by Tutor Wilmer, and after two days of familiarity, he knows that these eccentric students want to whisper, they will put the paper ball into a pen, and then act as a borrowed pen, pass the paper ball, and will never blatantly throw it over.
】
Tutor Wilmer's character, the students with whom he gets along day and night can no longer understand him, he is very strict, he can't rub sand in his eyes, he has a good face, but he is a little weak in private, if the other party is stronger, he will lose his position and dare not express his opinion.
Once he finds out that students have passed small notes to each other in class, he will definitely let the students read them out in public, and there have been several similar incidents last semester.
The chest is violently bullied, the Adam's apple is up and down, the nose is open and closed, like a goldfish that has spit bubbles, Tutor Wilmer is not lightly angry with this group of disobedient and rebellious students, he has never been so angry as today, he was already very unhappy by being reprimanded by the principal yesterday, and he was humiliated by the students today....
It's tolerable, it's unbearable!
"Jonas! You give me a penalty station! Stand all morning! ”
Daniel, who just didn't want to sit in class, turned his head and walked out of the classroom, of course he wouldn't stay stupid at the door, the weather outside was so good, why didn't he go out and have fun?
Descending the stairs, Daniel came to the lawn next to the artificial lake on campus, and saw several female students sitting on the lawn basking in the sun, rolling their eyes, trotting straight to the dormitory, and after a while, running down with a bag of things.
"Hey, beautiful young ladies, I've got some gifts for you here!"
"What is this?"
Several female students were not afraid of Daniel at all, and when they saw him holding the bag, they all came up with some curiosity.
"Sleepy toast! Manstein Potions Grocery Store products! Archbishop Brandon gives a very high evaluation! It's the most sought-after thing in high society right now! ”
Hearing that suppery toast was in high demand, the schoolgirls became even more curious, and they sat on the lawn and ate the sliced toast in their hands like an outing, and soon fell into their own fantasies.
While Daniel was waiting for them to wake up, the roar of Mentor Wilmer suddenly sounded upstairs: "Jonas!
! You're sharing this stuff in school again!
! ”
Daniel ran away, and the smoke was gone.
"Headmaster! Check it out! ”
After class, Tutor Wilmer angrily pushed open the door of the principal's office and shouted to the principal standing in front of the window, "Jonas doesn't listen to discipline!" Sleeping toast has been being distributed around campus! This is a serious disciplinary violation! He must be punished! ”
"Wilmer...."
The headmaster turned around and held a half-eaten slice of toast in his hand: "Have you ever tasted slumber toast yourself?" ”
"Headmaster, you...."
"I've got it here, you can taste it." The headmaster opened the drawer and pulled out a small bag of toast wrapped in oiled paper.
On the oiled paper tape, a picture of the bighorn elk of the Manstein Potions Company was prominently printed.
Now Ma Wei has even made the company symbol.
"Headmaster! Why do you even eat this kind of thing! Mentor Wilmer excitedly said, "It's a potion!" It's addictive to eat! ”
"Wilmer, I heard you like meat, right?"
The headmaster sat down on the leather chair, put down the toast in his hand, and looked into Wilmer's eyes: "Eating meat, for you, is it an addiction, is it harmful to the body?" I think it's minimal, with Wild, the goddess of health, there's nothing that can hurt us. ”
"I'm not worried about what damage Sleepy Toast will do to the body, and I don't question the power of Wild, the goddess of health, it's just...."Wilmer sighed: "Sleepy Toast corrupts the human will!" It's a lot worse than physical damage! ”
"Sleepy toast has no effect on people with strong willpower." "The reason why people are obsessed with lethargic toast is because they have weak willpower and need to use lethargic toast to satisfy their fantasies, but in fact, lethargic toast is no different from cigarettes and sugar, and there is no physiological withdrawal reaction!" ”
"Headmaster, you have to trust me!"
"I trust the judgment of authority more." The rector threw a document on his desk: "This is a joint test of lethargic toast by professors from the biology and chemistry departments of the University of Oxford, and through animal experiments, we have determined that lethargic toast is not harmful to people's bodies, and at the same time, people with strong willpower will not be affected by toast." ”
"A joint report from an authoritative professor?" Wilmer's eyes widened: "Has Nicholas begun to take control of the major laboratories?!" ”
The headmaster's face sank: "Wilmer, you have to understand what you are talking about, if you question the authority of this report, you can come up with evidence!" I believe that Manstein Potions alone will not be able to control those authoritative professors! ”
"But... Behind the Potions Company is His Royal Highness the Second Prince! As the Duke of Oxford, he..."
"The situation of Manstein Potions Company is not for us to decide, but you must understand that even the second prince can't cover the sky with one hand." The principal's tone softened slightly: "If the second prince manipulates the major laboratories to give harmless certificates, will the eldest prince and the third prince be indifferent?" Most of the people who consume these potions are aristocratic gentry, who dares to do anything about it? ”
"Besides.... The major laboratories are required to test whether the sleeping toast contains harmful ingredients, and it is the eldest prince and them, and your speculation is not valid at all. ”
The headmaster said earnestly: "My teacher, Professor James of Oxford University, also thinks that sleeping toast is harmless to the human body, and I trust his judgment, so you don't care about the potion matter anymore." ”
Wilmer couldn't help but say, "Even if it's harmless, you can't let it circulate around the campus!" Principal, if students are addicted to lethargic toast, how can schools still be held? ”
"First of all, as I just said, lethargy toast is not physiologically addictive, as long as you want to quit, you can quit at any time."
The principal knocked on the table: "Secondly, the students of Yindun College are all children of the nobility, even if they don't have Sleeping Toast, they will smoke and inject cocaine, marijuana and other drugs, according to the certificates issued by major laboratories, the harm of Sleeping Toast is much lower than that of cocaine and marijuana!" ”
“.......”
Wilmer was speechless, he knew that the headmaster was right, the preferences of the nobles were far more terrible than the sleeping toast, and if the sleeping toast could give them peace for a while, he didn't know how many people could bring peace.
He is a little mentor, and he can't even control drugs, so how can he meddle in the matter of potions?
There are some things, from the very beginning, that are not destined for him to contend with.
