In the evening, Mavey sat in the hotel room and recorded today's expenses one by one.
[Project advance payment of 150 gold pounds]
[Profit from recycling tables, chairs and dinner plates: 11 gold pounds]
[Invite workers to drink and pay 5 gold pounds]
Ma Wei had developed the habit of keeping accounts as early as his time in New Rose City. Whether he was opening a shop or hosting a church, accounting books were indispensable.
The start-up capital of 10,000 gold pounds brought from the Romanov Kingdom, excluding the final payment of the project, leaves almost 9,000 gold pounds. Ma Wei plans to use this money to purchase potions in London as an initial investment to maintain the operation of the store. .
The most practical problem in doing business is the capital chain. If the capital chain is broken, stores and companies will face the risk of bankruptcy.
Therefore, Ma Wei wants to set prices for the potion industry on the basis of ensuring that the capital chain is not broken, and become the leader of London's potion industry.
Once the goods from Dino arrive, Mavey will immediately become the largest potion merchant in London and even the entire Kingdom of Windsor. He has enough confidence and qualifications to make rules.
Ma Wei estimated that even the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny would not be able to give an accurate assessment of the value of potions. After all, the nature of potions is similar to that of commodities based on the demand and the production volume.
On the bed in the room, Yunia took a pencil and lay on the quilt, scribbling and drawing. Whenever she was bored, she would record the snacks she had eaten and turn them into her own unique 'self-created words'. To this day, Yunia has tasted at least dozens of desserts. Yunia uses these words as unique letters, combines them into different words with different combinations, and gives them different meanings...
Presentable.
Perhaps in the not too distant future, a special code word can actually be created.
"Brother."
Lai Wen opened the door and walked in, holding an oil paper bag in his arms and biting an apple. He said incomprehensively: "I'm back."
"Well, have the workers changed their shifts?" Ma Wei put down his pen and asked.
"The shift is being changed. The night shift workers have arrived and will start work after dinner."
"Did you buy the things I asked you to buy?"
"Olive oil, beef and wheat flour, right? We bought them all." Lai Wen put the oil paper bag filled with apples on the table, threw a red apple to Yunia, and said with a smile: "I guess brother, you You want to distribute these olive oil, beef and wheat flour to your neighbors, right?”
Ma Wei nodded: "Our renovation of the store has caused a lot of trouble to the surrounding residents. When we open the business in the future, everyone will bow their heads but not look up. It is not good if the relationship is too tense, so we must have a good relationship with the neighbors. Be prepared for emergencies.”
"An unexpected need?" The letter was a little confusing: "What unexpected need? Even if there is a thief, it is not the neighbors who can help!"
"Mr. Hamlai's restaurant is in the middle of Flower Street. If you want to get here, you have to pass through the alleys on the left and right sides. In other words, the neighbors living around us will become the most natural monitors." Ma Wei suggested. I picked up an apple, wiped it with a handkerchief, smelled the fragrance from the peel, and said quietly: "I explain it this way, do you understand?"
The letter said thoughtfully: "Brother, do you want to find out the informants hidden around us?"
"Smart." Seeing that the text was clear, Ma Wei showed a happy smile: "Why should I buy a store in East London? Because no one could guess that I would choose the store here, that is to say, yesterday Before, there must have been no informants from the eldest prince, third prince, or king around Huajie."

"In this case, as long as we can build a good relationship with our neighbors, wouldn't we know which strangers are walking around Flower Street all day long if we ask them later?"
"These strangers appearing around are most likely spies sent by the enemy. After knowing their identities, it will be very convenient for us to do anything."
"But..." The letter hesitated: "Why not let Fat Orange and the others be responsible for monitoring? Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to monitor?"
"You have to think deeply." Ma Wei took a bite of the apple, and the juice exploded in his mouth. The crispy and sweet taste filled his heart: "Our bribery of neighbors is a superficial move. As long as we do it, the enemy will You will know that this is a disguised way of protecting Fat Orange and the others."
"oh!"
Lai Wen patted his thigh and understood completely: "Brother, you want to use the neighbors as targets to confuse the judgment of the eldest prince and others!"
"That's right, with the help of neighbors, it will be easier for Fat Orange and the others to do their work." Mawei said, "After eating the apples, we will distribute the supplies door to door with Yannick. Remember, Each household has a barrel of olive oil, ten pounds of beef, and twenty pounds of wheat flour, which must be distributed fairly and their identity must be identified.”
"Don't worry! I've done this many times before distributing supplies to the poor!"
Lai Wen put on his top hat, threw the core into the trash can, turned around and left the room.
Not long after, there was a knock on the street.
The neighbors who received olive oil, beef and wheat flour all looked flattered. Although there were not many things, they were the most practical daily necessities. Food is always a necessity, and for those who live in the slums of East London and are exhausted every day For workers, food and clothing are the most important thing.
This is a thoughtful gift that neither disgusts nor arouses resentment. Fair distribution is a non-controversial way of distribution.
Many neighbors who were dissatisfied with Mawei's extensive shop decoration, but did not dare to explode due to the majesty of the royal family, gradually calmed down their anger. The friendly actions of the Manstein family really moved them.
It is not difficult to distribute supplies. It is rare that an upper-class person with a royal background like Ma Wei is willing to apologize for their actions and take the initiative to compensate them. To a certain extent, this is an act of extreme respect for them.
The most elegant gentleman is nothing more than this...
"Allowing Felix to come forward not only shows respect, but also maintains the majesty of the family head. It enhances feelings and creates a sense of distance at the same time..."
Standing in front of the window, looking at the street situation, Daniel sighed: "Brother, have you even considered this?"
"It's just some ordinary means, nothing." Ma Wei closed the book, rubbed his eyebrows with his index finger and thumb and said: "The real test is yet to come. The three brothers of the Manstein family will all come in handy... .I’m not taking you on a sightseeing trip to London.”
"I know, I'll just go to school." Daniel curled his lips.
"Your character is that of a reckless man who likes to play knight games, similar to a street gangster. The Manstein family is a down-and-out Junker noble. You, the youngest, must have flaws in etiquette. When you get to school, you will You can’t show off your court swordsmanship. When the time comes, remember to cause some trouble for me and let me step in to solve it.”
"Understand."
How could Daniel not understand what Mavey was thinking?
To cause some trouble properly, the premise is to find the right target and attract the other party's parents to come forward. In this way, Ma Wei will have the opportunity to contact the other party.
There are bound to be factions within the students. For example, the aristocratic family that follows the eldest prince and the aristocratic family that follows the second prince will definitely dislike each other. At this time, Daniel, as the second prince's camp, has to be the leader and instigator. The conflict between the two factions brought Ma Wei into contact with the noble family behind the eldest prince...
After causing trouble, it's not Daniel's business to worry about what to do. Ma Wei will take care of it.
Is Ma Wei very scheming?
Of course it was deep, at least in Daniel's eyes.
As the night got darker, just as Mavey was about to take Junia to a nearby Roman restaurant for dinner, Halder, the construction leader, suddenly ran up in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Halder who was panting and looking a little nervous, Ma Wei couldn't help but ask.
"The house... something was dug out under the house!" Halder shouted with eyes wide open: "Many pots! Clay pots!"
