In the spacious lecture hall, in front of the podium, Valeera closed the textbook in her hand, glanced at all the students, and said seriously:
"The focus of the final exam is the above. You can arrange the remaining time as you wish."
This is Valeela’s last lecture, which takes place on the last Tuesday of November, the 27th.
It can be said that today, her work as a lecturer in the History Department of Backlund University is almost over, and the small amount of examinations and academic work that will follow are beyond her scope of responsibility.
Regarding her thoughts on resigning, Valeera did not disclose her thoughts to her students in class. She only told Associate Professor Barak, who is considered her superior, earlier today.
She has arranged everything.
If nothing else, her assistant, the personal maid Liya, should have negotiated the "bicycle project" on her behalf with the detective Sherlock and the inventor Leppard by this time, along with a trusted cooperating lawyer. second round of investment.
There is almost no possibility of an accident, because Liya is only responsible for the last step——
Although it is not frequent, Valeela has also maintained contact with Klein once or twice a week. In addition to daily communication, they have also discussed the investment plan of the "Bicycle Project" in private.
In the past half month, "Tarot Club" has been held twice more.
In order to avoid being discovered by Klein in the future that she already knew about the promotion ceremony of the "Iron-Blooded Knight", Valeera did not purchase the extraordinary materials for the "Reader" potion at the party, and hid her true purpose of acquiring the potion formula.
This inevitably affected Liya's promotion, but only to a very slight extent.
Relying on the channels of Sharon and Maric, as well as attending "Mr. A's" extraordinary party on her own, Valeera also collected the corresponding materials in the past few days and helped Liya become an extraordinary person.
Speaking of which, when she took Liya for the first time and secretly went out from the servants' passage to attend an extraordinary gathering, Valeera felt a considerable amount of nervousness from Liya's trembling palms clenching her arms.
As much as she was afraid of the unknown, she believed in herself... Valeera clearly realized this at the time, and she felt somewhat indebted to her personal maid.
From then on, until last night, Valeera would take some time every day to carefully guide Liya in learning basic occult knowledge and becoming familiar with ritual magic.
Ring ring ring.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class, bringing Valeera back from her scattered thoughts.
She glanced at the students in front of the podium, cruelly ignored a few raised and shaking arms, and took off the gold-rimmed glasses that were only for decoration on the bridge of her nose:
"That's it for today's lesson. I wish you all the best in your exams."
After saying that, Valeela picked up the textbook on the table and quickly left the classroom with a pace that seemed slow but fast but still elegant.
…
67 Williams Street.
After returning from Backlund University, as expected, Valeera met Liya, who had returned long ago.
It's done.
While Liya reported, she handed several legally valid certification documents to Valeela.
Similar to the investment plan of the steam-powered car tycoon in the original plot, Valeela first invested 1,000 pounds to take 20% of the shares, so that the shares of Klein and Leppard dropped to 28% and 52% in equal proportions. , and then spent 500 pounds and 750 pounds respectively to acquire 8% and 12% of the shares from Klein and Leppard respectively.
Valeera still borrowed a short-term loan of 1,000 pounds from the bank to have enough funds to complete the transaction.
After the transaction, the bicycle project company was initially established.
The initial start-up capital on the company's account was Valeera's 1,000 pounds of shares, and the three parties' shares were Valeera 40%, Klein 20%, and Leppard 40%.
Leppard's job remains unchanged, still assisting in the completion of mass assembly line production;
Klein gave up the right to intervene in the company's affairs, which was regarded as a purely financial investment;
Valeera will be responsible for subsequent factory production and promotion and sales.
This was originally a relatively difficult responsibility for her——
Even without considering the plan to go overseas after the year, Valeera does not have business experience and corresponding contacts. The initial development of the bicycle company will definitely be far more difficult than in the hands of the steam-powered vehicle tycoon in the original plot.
Fortunately, Valeera had already thought of a solution:
In terms of operations, she plans to use her influence on Kaoyim Company to transfer one of the managers to take charge;
The ideal candidate is Luke Summer, Crane's current landlord. He is a mechanical enthusiast in his spare time and quite relevant professionally.
As for her weakness in connections, she planned to use the influence of Professor Portland.
This gentleman is a full professor in the Engineering Department of Backlund University and an academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Kingdom of Loen. With the company he holds shares in, he obviously won't have any problems with connections.
The documents Liya brought back included a gift agreement for 10% of the shares. Most of the procedures have been completed and it will take effect as long as both parties sign their names.
Valeera will visit Professor Portland tonight.
When she explained her intention to resign to Associate Professor Barak in the morning, she made an appointment to meet in the evening.
"Huh?"
At the end of the report, Liya suddenly let out a sigh, took out a note from the document in her hand, and read:
"For Miss Vicky, this is what Mr. Sherlock gave you. But when did he give me the note?"
[In view of the general environment,
"He is a magician. Valeera took the folded note and explained casually.
Anyway, Liya has long known that Klein is an extraordinary person and has entered the extraordinary world. This level of information can still be understood.
"I have something important and need to be interviewed."
Interview... Valeera felt a little strange. The effect of her "mirror call" and the interview didn't seem to be much different. What is so important?
She recalled briefly and found no answer in the original content.
Okay, anyway, we have to go to Burklund Street in the North District at night. It’s not too much trouble to take a short detour to Klein’s place. We’ll know then… Valeela thought about it and made up her mind. .
In the afternoon, in addition to spending time in the studio, Valeera also spent some time preparing materials and objects needed for the night's operations——
She planned to borrow Professor Portland's "Artisan" magical item tonight.
After half a month of hard work, the portrait of "Desperate Nightingale" Panatia that Valeela left in the secret room has been roughly formed, and it is expected that it will be completely completed with just a few more ritual creations.
At that time, the ritual of "The Art of Innuendo" can begin.
As the planned items were completed one after another, Valeera's mood slightly fluctuated, and she felt a little more inexplicable.
——————
Attachment: I actually wanted to make the investment plan have a little twist, because the steam-powered car tycoon in the original book should have some relationship with the Loen royal family and have a "lawyer" under him.
But, this is not the direction I want for the story, and I don’t want to waste words and drag out the pace, so I won’t write it.
(The attachment does not affect the chapter charges)
