Ma Wei had considered joining the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, but he had never thought of believing in Nander, the goddess of wealth.
The Manstein family came from afar. If they wanted to secure a foothold in the Kingdom of Windsor and gain the trust of others, they must first have a church background.
In the short period of joining the church, you don't need to believe in a certain goddess, just leave a name.
As for the divination crystal ball that Archbishop Brandon took out, Ma Wei felt that it was very likely that he was using divination to attract him to join the church.
After all, the results of divination are unclear. Who knows what the black wolf represents?
Even Archbishop Brandon himself couldn’t explain why!
But...
Just in time to take advantage of the situation.
"Archbishop Brandon, I have traveled around the world in my early years. I have been to many kingdoms. I have seen great storms and crooked cults... Of course, I am not saying that your church is a cult. I am just saying that in my heart, I have feelings for the church. Be in awe," Ma Wei said.
Archbishop Brandon nodded and said: "Your Excellency is a grocer. During his business travels, he must have seen a lot of local customs and customs. In the Southern Continent, for example, the Witch God Cult in the Kingdom of Fudu is actually not much like a cult in the eyes of our churches. The difference is that their teachings are extremely cruel and bloody, and the tribe is primitive and uncivilized. They are a group of uncivilized aboriginals, and it is normal for them not to want to join."
"but."
"Mr. Nicholas, our Church of Destiny is by no means a crooked cult. You may not know much about us before. Our doctrine believes that people are born with sin, so we teach believers to be kind and moral. This is fundamentally different from other sects."
Ma Wei listened silently and asked calmly: "I am willing to get in touch with the teachings preached by the goddess of wealth Nander with the help of Archbishop Brandon, but before that, I want to listen to His Highness the Second Prince. ..Opinion."
Opinion?
condition!
Of course, the second prince Shukri would not be stingy with Mavi, who passed all the tests. He said very simply: "I have already discussed it with Archbishop Brandon. Nicholas, we can give you the potion formula you need, but You need to sign a confidentiality agreement with the church to ensure that the potion formula will never be leaked."
"no problem."
"Also, in order for you to have access to the potion formula, you need to join the church. Archbishop Brandon will arrange for you a position as an auditor priest, under the direct jurisdiction of Nande, the goddess of wealth. This is to protect you in the church. rights and interests shall not be infringed upon.”
"no problem."
"In addition to these, you must also conduct public bidding with other potion merchants." Second Prince Shukri said hesitantly: "Although Archbishop Brandon is responsible for various business affairs of the church, the church is not his sole responsibility. Many things , must be dealt with openly.”
Ma Wei asked curiously: "How to bid specifically?"
"The potion industry is the same as other industries. If you want to bid, you need technical bids, business bids, credibility bids and other materials. These are included in the bidding documents. I will send you a copy after the church issues relevant regulations."
After a pause, the second prince Shukri added: "To put it simply, Nicholas, you need to defeat other bidders in the bidding. These bidders may be the potion merchants under Charles and Andrew. They have strong financial chains and are by no means Nothing a single company can match.”
"Nicholas, you don't have to worry about qualifications. Regarding the registered capital, company qualifications and other issues, I will find someone to guarantee it for you. The only thing you need to handle personally is the business tender document."
A commercial bid is an overall plan provided by the bidder that includes construction period, quality, budget, commitment and other conditions.
If you want to become the official potion dealer of the church, you must first have sales channels, and secondly, the quality of the potion, purchase price and other distribution methods to ensure that you can bring maximum benefits to the church.
All bids will be reviewed uniformly, and whoever provides the best and highest quality plan will become the church's only designated potion dealer.
This is also the reason why the three princes frantically wooed Ma Wei. Ma Wei showed his strong strength when he first appeared. He must have his own magic medicine business channels. This alone gave him an innate advantage.
Ma Wei had just heard about the bidding. After thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising. The Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny is so large that it must undergo strict and meticulous screening, and the Kingdom of Windsor is the first country to complete two industrial revolutions. Capital If it is not through bidding, how can we select the most powerful dealers?
"As a prince, I cannot provide you with direct financial support. However, you can set up a potion company and I will help you apply for listing on the London Stock Exchange. At that time, Smith and the others will subscribe for the stocks released by your company. Provide financial assistance in this way.”
The second prince Shukri smiled and said: "With my connections, it only takes one day to make Nicholas you one of the richest people in London. You don't have to worry about stock risks. My people will help you." Remove all obstacles in the way.”
As a supporter of the Liberal Party in Parliament, how much financial flow can the second prince Shukri control?
Ma Wei didn't know, but the amount must be huge and beyond imagination.
He didn't know much about stocks, but he knew one thing - you must have enough capital reserves to deal with the credibility crisis caused by risk exposure.
Of course, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny will not let a company in bankruptcy crisis be their potion dealer, so credibility is very important.
If he wants to capture the Windsor Kingdom’s huge potion market and become an official potion dealer, Ma Wei’s current funds alone are completely insufficient. The Romanov Kingdom’s current economic situation is tight and they can’t afford to help him. For this reason , choosing to list on the London Stock Exchange seems to be his last and only option.
Only in this way can Ma Wei obtain huge financial support in a short period of time to carry out magic medicine trade between countries.
This is also why they took refuge with the eldest prince, second prince, and third prince.
Generally speaking, Ma Wei, who has distribution channels, is like a technician who invented a new technology, but he does not have enough funds to expand production. If he cannot quickly occupy the market, there will be other similar inventions to snatch the cake that should belong to him. , at this time, Ma Wei, who has the technology, will seek the intervention of big capital, who will provide financial support, expand production, and enter the core of the market.
In this process, it is inevitable to disperse the equity. Those who subscribe for a large amount of equity will become shareholders of Manstein's Magic Potion Grocery Store, and the profits will be distributed to them. It seems that the profits have become less, but in fact the money in their pockets has become less. too much.
As long as Mawei maintains 51% of its shares, it will have absolute say in the board of directors. Generally speaking, listing is a good thing.
Using the listed potion group, Ma Wei can secretly feed back the Romanov Kingdom and help the Romanov Kingdom recover its economy. After the kingdom's economy recovers, Ma Wei will let others use the money to secretly acquire the equity in the hands of other directors, and slowly Yes, it also brought back all the dispersed equity.
The other people here can be the Fourth Prince Arthur... and the Knights of the Round Table.
Without too much hesitation, Ma Wei accepted the conditions put forward by the second prince Shukri. In terms of business, the second prince Shukri was much better than the eldest prince Charles and the third prince Andrew, so he chose him as his partner. , nothing wrong with it at all.
As soon as Ma Wei left, the second prince Shukri laughed heartily and was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"Archbishop Brandon! We work together so well! Nicholas is finally willing to support me!"
"Cooperation?" Archbishop Brandon was stunned for a moment: "What cooperation?"
"The divination crystal ball!" Second Prince Shukri was stunned: "Didn't you use the divination crystal ball to scare Nicholas and make him join the church?"
"I didn't scare him. The divination result is true."
"ah?"
"I'm not kidding." Archbishop Brandon held the crystal ball thoughtfully: "The black wolf is an ominous sign, but this is the first time I have seen a black wolf shedding blood and tears, and there are no similar results recorded in the classics. Weird...strange..."
】
The second prince Shukri, who had just been relieved, became nervous again: "Is Nicholas really suffering from a bloody disaster? If he dies, all my efforts will be in vain!"
"As for the divination results, I want to ask the goddess for advice. Maybe she can give me the answer..."
Archbishop Brandon stood up and walked towards the door with his brows furrowed:
"Nicholas is not protected by gods. If he can believe in Nande, the goddess of wealth, the divination results may be different. I still need to study carefully on how to do it.... Don't come to me if you have nothing to do in the past few days. "
"oh...."
