As soon as he came out of the shadow of the prison, the second prince began to make small calculations.

His idea is very simple, that is, he wants to use Mavi to obtain more favorable conditions for himself, from the Paris incident, he already knows what Mavi thinks in his heart, no matter what conditions Anatole promised, he did not betray the Church of the Goddess of Fate, doesn't this mean anything?

The second prince, who already trusted Ma Wei very much, had no doubt about Ma Wei's loyalty at this moment, and he had no way out.

Ma Wei was recommended by him, and if Ma Wei had a problem, he couldn't get out of it.

Now that the "Paris Potions Agreement" has been signed, all aspects of the pass have been completely opened, and the Manstein Potions Company has ushered in the tuyere of take-off, and at this moment, the last retreat of the second prince has disappeared.

Now he is completely bound to Ma Wei, sharing honor and disgrace, Ma Wei has an accident, he will definitely not be able to run, on the contrary, if he has an accident, Ma Wei can be exempted from punishment by virtue of his importance to the church.

To put it simply, whether Ma Wei is a spy sent by other churches or not, the second prince must think that he is not!

Not only must we support Mavi in our hearts, but we must also defend Mavi and defend Manstein Potions from practical actions!

This situation is obviously what Ma Wei is happy to see, after this incident, his relationship with the second prince is closer, enough to enter the core social circle.

In late April, the fleet sailed into the River Thames, and after running for more than half a month, the Mavey and his men finally returned to London.

On the way back, there was no danger, and no one wanted to assassinate Ma Wei or the second prince, and Ma Wei estimated that the assassin's failure to appear was probably related to Archbishop Brandon and Archbishop Liviu.

Before departure, there was only one archbishop and one saint on the ship, and when I came back, the archbishop became two, and there were two saints.

Pope Ubri I learned that Mavi and others had returned safely, and personally went to the dock to greet him, and put on a great battle to eliminate irrelevant people, etc., Rhodes IV did not come, but the eldest prince came, he was the king's representative.

The signing of the Potions of Paris Agreement means that the Potions market has officially opened to internationalization, how can the Church not pay attention to such an important matter?

Pope Ubley I invited Mavi to his carriage and travel to St. Paul's Cathedral to inquire about the market in Paris and the next steps of the Manstein Potions Company.

"His Majesty the Pope, the signing of the treaty, means that the market of multinational alliance is on the right track, and other kingdoms should say that other church-backed potions companies will also open in London, and we should conduct market evaluation again according to the potions and materials they sell, formulate appropriate and reasonable transaction prices, be independent but not alone, and begin to civilianize, popularize, and popularize, quickly spread out the potions market, and implement a diversification strategy."

Ubly I only understood half of it, he didn't seem to understand, he was not an expert in this area, Archbishop Brandon understood it all, and explained: "What Nicholas means is that we should involve the common people in the potions business, and open up the potions business, from the original private ownership of the church to the public ownership. ”

The idea of Ma Wei is actually to break the monopoly of the church, open the third-level potions market transactions, and cede some of the benefits to the common people.

"Open the potions market?" Ubre I muttered: "How to open it exactly? ”

"To put it simply, it is to allow the people to mine, breed, and grow potion raw materials, and when they are mature, they will be collected by the Manstein Potions Company, so that not only can the pressure on the church and the company be reduced, but also the people can get preferential treatment, further reduce costs, and achieve a market-oriented business model."

"If the marketization is opened, won't it cause the phenomenon of potions companies in other countries bypassing Manstein and buying potions directly from the private sector?" Ublis I frowned, "What's in it for the Manstein Potions Company to do this?" ”

"His Majesty the Pope, opening up the folk potions market is the general trend, if an industry only wants to make money, then monopoly must be the best way, if you want to expand outward, seek better development, opening up is the only and only way."

"With the support of the church, Manstein Potions can certainly achieve market monopoly, but this is not what we need, money is only a small part of our needs, what we really need is to control the economy of other countries through potions management!" Only in this way can the Kingdom of Windsor sit on the throne of the world's number one forever! ”

Afraid that Ubre I would not understand, Ma Wei added a few more words: "Opening the potion market is only the first step, the Kingdom of Windsor wants to set an example for other kingdoms, we have opened the market, and other kingdoms must also open their markets!" When an industry is profitable, even if the law prohibits it, it can't stop the people! ”

"If only the Windsor Kingdom opened the potions market, then the people of the other kingdoms would secretly sell the potion materials they obtained to the Manstein Potions Company at a low price! Because only Manstein is willing to pay for the acquisition! ”

"In this way, the price of the potion materials we buy from other countries will definitely be different from the price of potions on the surface, and it will definitely be lower, and other kingdoms will have to pay a greater price if they want to buy potion materials from the Windsor Kingdom!"

Ma Wei said in a serious tone: "As long as we open the potion market, other kingdoms will follow suit!" When all the countries that signed the Potions of Paris Accord open their domestic markets, the Potions business will quickly enter a prosperous period, and the Kingdom of Windsor can use its greatest shipping advantage to expand outward and gain more benefits! ”

Now Ubrey I understood, Ma Wei is playing a big game of chess, opening up the potions market is ostensibly not conducive to the monopoly of the church, but in fact, it is forcing other kingdoms to stand on the same starting line with him, in that case, the Windsor Kingdom, which already has an innate advantage, can further expand its market share and earn more!

"The more I think about it, the more scared I get." Ubli I took out a handkerchief, wiped his forehead, and said: "What a terrible thing it would be if Nicholas you were left in Paris by Anatole!" Your faithfulness is evident to the Church, the Kingdom, and the Goddess! ”

As he spoke, Ubre I smiled: "The church wants to reward you, say, what reward do you want?" ”

At this point, there was nothing he couldn't get, and the church didn't know what to reward for his loyalty, so he just let him say it himself.

"As a potions dealer in the Church, to help you is to help myself, I have chosen the Kingdom of Windsor, I will not change my decision, no one likes a traitor, right?"

"That's right, who likes a traitor? Traitors deserve to be hanged on the gallows! Ubre I said, "But the reward is still to be rewarded, Nicholas, those who are loyal to the Church and to the Goddess will be rewarded, and this is to be shown to more people, whether you want it or not, whether you want it or not, we will reward you, you don't have to think about it, just say what you want." ”

Ma Wei was a little entangled, he was not hypocritical, but he really didn't know what he needed for a while.

Seeing Mavi's hesitation, the Archbishop of Liviu next to him said: "It is better to say hello to the king, reward Nicholas with the title, with his merits, even if he is not a duke, he can become an earl, and then reward a piece of territory and a manor."

"What? Title? Ma Wei's eyes widened, and he hurriedly refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Archbishop, but the title is still forgotten"

Are you kidding!

According to the rules of the Kingdom of Windsor, nobles are not allowed to enter the House of Commons, which is actually in power!

Nobles can only enter the House of Lords!

The eldest prince, the second prince, and Freya all have partisan support behind them, the eldest prince is a conservative, and the second prince is a Liberal, and then what?

They are not the actual controllers of the party at all! They can only be counted as people who are supported by the party, and the party leader has someone else!

And the most important thing for a party is not how much money it has, how many nobles it has, but how many people support it in the House of Commons!

The House of Commons is far more powerful than the House of Lords, and in this case, it would be foolish for Mavi, who wants to run in politics and enter Parliament, to accept the reward and become a nobleman.

You must know that even Winston Churchill, the prime minister of the kingdom, first passed the title of nobility to his son, and then entered the cabinet!

Cabinet members and prime ministers of the kingdom can only be held by civilians!

Although removing the knighthood and entering the cabinet is a loophole in the system, at least the attitude is there, and there is no big fault with it, Ma Wei does not want to become an earl, his goal is to join forces with the four princes in the House of Commons and establish the Labor Party!

"Don't want a knighthood?"

A gleam flashed in the eyes of Archbishop Liviu: "Nicholas, you want to participate in politics?" ”

"Yes."

Ma Wei frankly admitted that it is impossible to hide it, and it is better to admit generously: "I want to participate in the next general election and enter the House of Commons." ”

"Why?"

"Hmm"

Glancing at the back car, Ma Wei pretended to be embarrassed: "It's not convenient to say." ”

Ubli I glanced back and suddenly realized.

In the carriage behind, the second prince sat them.

It is no secret that the second prince and the eldest prince compete for the throne, from the king to the women on the street, they can talk for a few words, since it is a competition, it depends on their respective abilities.

As a quasi-core member of the second prince's faction, Ma Wei's entry into the House of Commons to participate in politics can provide a lot of help to the second prince.

Manstein's ability to provide not only financial support to the second prince, but also political assistance, is a signal for deeper cooperation.

This is not surprising.

Ubre I nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, then I will not reward you with a knighthood." ”

"Thank you."

"Give it to your brother, Felix or Jonas." Ubuli I changed his words: "The two of them don't participate in politics, and it's no problem to get knighthoods. Or do you want to give the title to your daughter, Emma? ”

Ma Wei looked down at Yunia and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Pope, Emma is still young, what do you want to do with the title?" ”

"I have a territory of my own, at least I will have no worries about food and clothing in the future." Ubley I said: "You can decide this matter, and you can tell Archbishop Brandon who will be rewarded, but make a decision as soon as possible." ”

"Right now." Mavi said, "Reward Count Felix." ”

As the second eldest of the Manstein family, it is normal for Mavi to transfer the title to Felix, and in Mavi's opinion, Daniel is likely to look down on this title, he is the first crown prince of Frederick's kingdom, the future king, the territory of the entire kingdom is his, and a small earl is estimated to be unsightly.

On the contrary, Levine does not have a worldly backer as Daniel, and it is not bad to give him a knighthood and live an aristocratic life.

When he arrived at St. Paul's Cathedral, Ma Weiwan refused the invitation of Ubrey I to dinner, and rushed to the head office with Levine and several people on the pretext of dealing with the company's affairs.

In the office, Tiffany was holding a pen and staring at the papers in front of her in a daze, she was distraught and couldn't settle down, as if she had lost her soul.

The head of the regiment has not heard from him for half a month, and he heard that the Bonaparte Empire has blocked the border, so nothing will happen

The tip of the pen poked at the paper, and Tiffany let out a long sigh, indescribably bored, thinking that it would be better to join the Manstein Potions Company, but I didn't expect to see the head of the group

Click.

The door opened.

"I'm not hungry, Josephine, go out and eat." Tiffany, who thought it was a colleague in the accounting department, said without raising her head.

A rose comes into view.

"Tiffany, how can you not eat well?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Tiffany slowly raised her head, looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her, but the extremely familiar tone, her eyes suddenly became rosy, and she snorted and said, "Mr. Tuan Felix, what are you doing, don't you have an appointment with Miss Helena?" ”

"I'll go back to her tomorrow." Levine placed the rose in front of Tiffany: "I want to invite you to dinner." ”

"You go with Gina, she's working a lot harder than I am."

"You're working as hard as she does." Levine said seriously, "I don't know how to thank you, Tiffany."

"Ahem."

Ma Wei, who felt that the two were going to talk for a long time, coughed: "What, I brought the report of the Paris branch and the shipment list for next month, as well as the company's next development plan, or. Let's talk about business first? ”

Tiffany quickly wiped her eyes and said, "I know the boss." ”

Gathering other employees of the company, Ma Wei held a meeting, rarely fulfilled the duties of the boss, carefully explained the development direction of the company, and made a detailed plan according to the situation of each branch, the implementation will be handed over to Tiffany and others, and Ma Wei, who has other things to do, cannot spend all his time in the company.

After solving the company's problems, it was already night, and after stretching, Ma Wei decided to go to Canary Wharf to see the fat oranges, and he had been away from London for nearly a month, and he didn't know what happened to them

Just as Ma Wei walked out of the company gate and blew the brass whistle to hail a carriage, Freya suddenly walked out of the restaurant across the street.

"The dignified owner of the Manstein Potions Company doesn't even have a carriage of his own, isn't he afraid of other people's jokes when he says it?"
