Chapter 208: The Rumor (Two in One, Ask for Subscription!! )
"No matter how dangerous it is, expand your company's business to other kingdoms."
In the empty chamber, Mavi put the cigar in the ashtray and snuffed it out: "This is one of the prerequisites for the Manstein Potions Company to be profitable, and it must be solved."
"Hmm..."
Archbishop Brandon groaned and said, "If you have to go when the time comes, I can accompany you on your journey, but His Highness must stay in London, and he will definitely be in danger if he leaves London."
"Let's talk about it then, I'll go back and make arrangements first, and organize the manpower to go to other kingdoms."
"Okay."
After picking up the flower pot and saying goodbye to Archbishop Brandon and the second prince, Mavi was about to leave the Capitol, and as soon as he walked out the door, Freya chased after him.
"Nicholas! Wait a minute!"
"Is there anything else?"
"Are you going to the factory? Take my carriage! Let's drop by!"
Instead of refusing Freya's invitation, Mavi followed her to the back door of the Capitol, dodging the reporters at the main entrance who were going to interview them, and headed for the Havefling district.
On the way, Freya's eyes kept staring at the infatuated flower that Ma Wei was holding in her arms, seeing that she was so curious, Ma Wei simply handed over the flower pot and asked her to see enough, anyway, it was quite tiring to hold it.
"Obsessed with flowers.... Extremely rare potions..."Freya stroked the delicate petals and whispered, "Where did you get the mermaid's tears?"
"I have my channel."
Seeing that Mavi didn't want to talk more about this matter, Freya changed the subject: "Are you the owner of this pot of obsessive flowers?"
"It's not." Ma Wei shook his head, "This is a pot of ownerless obsessed flowers."
"You didn't feed it blood?" Freya was surprised, "Why?"
"I'm going to sell it or put it in the store for ornamental use."
"How about selling it to me?" Freya leaned forward and asked urgently, "I'm willing to pay 5,000 gold pounds!"
"You?"
Ma Wei looked Freya up and down, and after a while, he shook his head and refused, "Not for sale."
"Aren't you going to sell it? Why won't you sell it to me?"
"I'm afraid you'll drug me after you raise it."
「.......」
Freya's eyes suddenly became resentful, "In your eyes, am I this kind of person? In order to pursue a man, you don't hesitate to drug him?"
"Actually, the price you offered was too low." Ma Wei said firmly: "Counting the infatuation potion, the cost of this pot of infatuation flowers alone is more than 1,200 gold pounds, and the infatuation flower needs to be fed continuously for a month to work, you must still buy the infatuation potion from me, but the infatuation potion in my hand is only enough to make a pot of infatuation flowers, 5,000 gold pounds to sell to you, this transaction is too loss."
The cost is 1,200 gold pounds, the price is 5,000 gold pounds, and the profit is 3,800 gold pounds, no matter where it is placed, this is a good deal, but in Ma Wei's view, the obsession with flowers and strange goods can live, and the value is definitely more than 5,000 gold pounds!
As for what I said earlier, the fear that Freya would drug herself by buying the infatuated flower was purely a joke.
Protected by the Bard's singing ring, Ma Wei is not afraid of the magic potion of the flower at all, and it will be good to untie it after being hit.
"How about 10,000 gold pounds?" Freya bit her lip and said, "That's the highest price I can give!"
"What do you want it to do?" Mavi stared into Freya's eyes, "Give me a reason, and if it suits my heart, I'll sell it to you."
With Freya's appearance, origin, family background, figure, posture and other conditions, it is not too simple to confuse a man, the only drawback is age and divorce once, but these shortcomings can be made up, the duchess noblewoman, who does not covet it?
She doesn't need to be obsessed with flowers at all!
Unless...
She wanted to use it on a man who couldn't take it.
Marvis thought about it and felt a little narcissistic, but no matter how she looked at it, Freya bought the infatuated flowers
, the possible target of use is him.
There is a saying in the arms world: Don't be injured by the weapons you sell.
Who would be stupid enough to sell weapons to their "enemies"?
"If you don't want to sell it, forget it." Freya angrily threw the flower pot to Mavi, turned her head to look out the window, and after a while suddenly said, "I can accompany you to other kingdoms."
Freya was also present when she was discussing matters with the second prince and Archbishop Brandon, and she heard about Mavi's plan to establish branches in other kingdoms, and now she brought it up, which was indeed a big risk.
"We'll talk about it then." Ma Wei didn't want to discuss this too early: "Maybe the staff sent out can do it themselves, and we won't have to go on a trip."
"Who are you going to send?" The Manstein Potions Company is all new employees, sent to other kingdoms to negotiate cooperation and establish branches, and needs a trustworthy backbone, where does the company come from?"
Ma Wei smiled mysteriously: "Freya, you don't think that I came to London with my family and have no connections at all..."
"What do you mean?"
"I used to be a grocer and traveled across five continents, so how could I keep myself safe without my own men?"
The experience of a grocer, Ma Wei borrowed the identity of Dino, known as the gray wolf, Dino was a grocer who traveled around the world, and if it wasn't for the failure of the business, he would not have fallen into a penniless end.
Dino has contributed to the development of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce to this day, and he single-handedly created the Pluto Chamber of Commerce and carried it forward.
Even if Dino didn't choose to join the Church of Truth, he would still be able to get along with it.
"I've written to them." "Soon," said Mavi, "they will come to London by boat and join me."
"Why didn't you tell Shukri about this?"
"It's not too late to talk to them when we arrive, I haven't decided the exact number yet."
Her eyes narrowed, and Freya seemed to think of something, "Could it be that you have been secretly inserting your own people into the company?"
"Who knows? Do you think so?"
"I'm getting worse and worse out of you, Nicholas."
"There's a lot you don't know about me."
As he spoke, the carriage stopped, the young coachman opened the door, got out of the car, the familiar smell of soot poured into the tip of his nose, and several stray cats scurried by the side of the road, Freya couldn't help frowning when she saw it: "Recently, there have been more and more stray cats on the street..."
"If there are many cats, it means that the rats are moving." "Do you like cats, Freya?"
"It's fine."
"Got it, you're having a birthday next week, aren't you?"
"Why," Freya teased, "are you going to give me a gift?"
"Of course."
Ma Wei smiled and said, "I have a mysterious gift for you."
Entering the factory, the manager Jacob immediately walked out of the office, came to Ma Wei and the others, and asked expectantly, "What is the result of the bidding?"
"Gather everyone together, and speak in unison."
"Good!"
Hearing that Mavi was going to gather the workers, Jacob guessed the result at once, took out the whistle on his waist and blew it, and after a while, the workers came one after another.
In the hall, Mavi stepped onto the wooden box platform, clapped his hands, signaled the workers to be quiet, and said loudly, "The Manstein Potions Company has won the bid, and from today onwards, we will be the sole potions dealer of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny!" All workers, reward three days' wages!"
Wow –
There was a cheer from the workers, some of whom knew what it meant to be a church-making distributor, and some of whom did not, but whether they knew it or not, it was a joy to pay out bonuses.
"Steven, starting tomorrow, all production lines will be running at full capacity, producing potions, the recipe and materials will arrive at the factory tomorrow afternoon, and the potions produced will be strictly controlled by quality, no corners will be allowed, and the production will be completed
, deliver to these addresses, and hand them over to the store for sale."
Mavi told Jacob the address of the shop he had rented a few days ago, which also meant that Manstein's Potions Company was about to start on the right track, and Jacob took it with a smile on his face and beckoned the workers to continue working.
"One more thing."
Ma Wei called out to Jacob and said to him, "Find a few workers who are good at business and let them be the store manager, responsible for the management and sales of the branch."
"Understood!"
Where did Jacob not understand what Mavi meant?
The workers who are good at business are, of course, a few old believers who have set up shop in New Ross City!
Although the Aurora Club has arrived in London, Ma Wei has not yet launched a job fair, so it is impossible for them to enter the company justifiably, and it just so happens that the factory needs to arrange a few Aurora Club members to replace the old believers in New Ross City.
There are still many things to be busy, and after explaining the affairs of the store, Ma Wei immediately rushed to the newspaper office and published the company's recruitment information in the newspaper, preparing to recruit another wave of people.
Kovalev and others who saw the job postings would definitely come to the interview, and with a little arrangement, they would be able to quietly enter the company.
In the evening, after returning to Flower Street, Ma Wei had dinner, opened the dark room located in the study, activated the Chamber of the Gods, and contacted Dino.
"Great! Win the bid, and the next step will begin!"
Above the surging gray mist, Dino's excited voice came, "Do you want me to prepare more potion materials and ship them to London?"
"It's good to maintain the semi-monthly transportation status for the time being, tomorrow I will go to check the church's potions repository, find materials from there and send them to the factory, and in the future, except for the mercury blood, sleeping toast, Hercules's stick, and other exposed potion materials, they will not be shipped to London, and they will be produced in the Romanov Kingdom, and the finished products will be purchased directly through the channels of the Manstein Potions Company and the Frederick Kingdom."
After becoming the designated distributor, the main potion produced by the factory is, of course, the formula mastered by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, and the formula in the hands of the Church of Truth must be made into a finished product and then purchased, so that the benefits can be maximized and the church can be fed back.
Due to the severance of diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of the Romanovs, potions produced by the Church of Truth had to be shipped to the Kingdom of Frederick and purchased through its branches.
Just in case, Mavi also plans to have Dino send people to the Southern Continent to cooperate with the tribes there and set up a leather bag company to sell potions from the Romanov Kingdom.
Even if one day the Romanov Kingdom secretly sells potions is exposed, you can use the leather bag company located in the Southern Continent to atone the crime and attract attention.
The situation in the southern continent is not as good as that of the central continent, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, mostly uncivilized indigenous tribes, and is the largest slave exporter, except for the Witch God Cult, few churches can gain a foothold there, the indigenous tribes have their own beliefs, but they are led by the Witch God Cult, and the Witch God Cult has little contact with the Central Continent....
If it was placed two thousand years ago, the Apocalypse Divine System could still control and rule the Witch God Cult in the name of the main god, but now that time has passed, the Witch God Sect has long been out of the control of the Apocalypse God System and has become a faction of its own.
The Apocalypse God who has lost its main god is still divided and unable to reunify, so naturally it can't control the witch god cult in a remote corner.
Using the southern continent as a springboard is simply suitable.
"The Witch God Cult used to be a member of the Apocalypse God System, but their gods were not as high as the Three Goddesses of Fate and the God of Judgment, and they belonged to the third echelon, similar to the Church of Truth's goddess of happiness, Sarina, and the god of secrets..."
Dino pondered, "I don't know if it's feasible to work with them."
"You don't need to contact the Witch God Cult, you just need to set up a fake company in your local city." Ma Wei said, "The Kingdom of Windsor is now busy with the affairs of the United States of Citi, and can't take care of the Southern Continent at all, and when they can ease up, our plan will have already succeeded."
"Okay." Dino nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said in a deep voice, "By the way, I've received some rumors recently..."
"What's the rumor?"
"You know that Her Majesty Katerina has set up a special intelligence organization, led by Bodlinov, and recently, they seem to have sent people to the Kingdom of Windsor, I don't know what they want to do, so I pretend not to." Dino said.
Hearing this, Ma Wei's brows furrowed.
The affairs of the Kingdom of Windsor have always been in charge of him, the church and the kingdom have a clear division of labor, the church is responsible for expanding outward, and the royal government is stabilizing the domestic situation and distracting the attention of other kingdoms.
"Don't overthink it."
In silence, Ma Wei said: "We should trust Your Majesty, she is a smart woman, she knows when to do something, this is a critical period, we can't be suspicious of our companions, maybe this is just a simple infiltration operation, of course the special intelligence organization established by Your Majesty must infiltrate other kingdoms, otherwise what is the need for existence?"
"I see." Dino replied slowly, "I don't know about His Majesty sending people to the Kingdom of Windsor, and I have never heard of it."
"That's it."
After the contact, Mavi sat in the dark room for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and Yunia, who was still a little bored, yawned before pulling him out of his contemplation: "Sorry, you're sleepy, aren't you?"
[In view of the general environment,
Yunia rubbed her eyes and nodded, "Hmm..."
"Let's go, go wash up, and I'll tell you a story, where was the last time?"
"Blackbeard Teach!"
