At midnight, Ma Wei and others returned to Flower Street, and Lai Wen really brought back a box of fine whiskey, given to him by the eldest prince Charles.
"Brother, are you sure you are cooperating with the second prince?"
Lai Wen, who couldn't put it down while holding the wine box, went back to the room to put the wine away, then came to the kitchen and asked Ma Wei who was boiling hot water.
】
"Well, the second prince is the one who best meets all the requirements. The eldest prince has already won over Arthur. The third prince Andrew has little influence in the political and business circles. All things considered, we should join the second prince's camp."
Ma Wei didn't know what agreement Arthur had made with the eldest prince. He only knew that Arthur currently belonged to the eldest prince's camp.
Although Arthur is currently unable to enter the eldest prince's core social circle, with his ability, he will definitely attract the eldest prince's attention. In that case, there is no need for Ma Wei to defect to the eldest prince.
"What's going on between you and Helena?"
After filling the stove with coal, Ma Wei took a few changes of clothes and planned to go upstairs to take a bath. By the way, he asked about Lai Wen and Helena.
Tonight at the banquet, the two of them had a lively conversation, but there was something fishy about it.
"She and I are just ordinary friends." Lai Wen stretched out, and seeing Ma Wei looking at him suspiciously, he immediately emphasized: "Really!"
"Forget it, you know in your mind whether you should contact Helena or not, you decide for yourself."
When he came to the bathroom on the second floor, Ma Wei filled the ceramic bathtub with hot water, took off his clothes and sat in it. The pores in his body instantly expanded, making all the muscles in his body relax.
In the rising mist, Ma Wei stared at the ceiling of Mohu and fell into deep thought.
If he wants to set up a potion company, he currently has absolutely insufficient manpower. He must recruit workers and accounting elites who can handle finances.
For a company, finance is definitely one of the most important and core departments. Daily incoming and outgoing accounts must be recorded uniformly. Financial statements are like the underpants of a company. Whoever gets it will know the company. Long and short.
This position can only be left to someone who can be completely trusted.
To whom should it be given?
Dino is Ma Wei's first choice, but he has to stay in the Romanov Kingdom to maintain the church and cannot escape. Liseld is also very good as his housekeeper, but he is a little worse in financial operations. ....
Not to mention Lai Wen, Daniel, and Edward, they are not financial material at all.
Do we need to hire other talents from outside?
No....
Recruiting talents from outside is too risky. Ma Wei wants to conduct transactions with the Romanov Kingdom. Accountants can easily spot the clues and must be cautious.
Dino's nephew, Aaron, is good and a suitable candidate. However, the Pluto Chamber of Commerce is currently under the surveillance of the Church of the Three Destinies. Letting him serve as the financial director is an extremely risky move...
After much deliberation, Ma Wei still failed to find suitable talents. Fortunately, the company will still be established for a while, so it can be recruited slowly. You can ask Holmes for his opinion. He has settled in London for so many years and must know many reliable social elites. .
As for the workers the company needed, Mavey felt that Jacob and the others were very suitable. In order to avoid being captured by the Church of the Three Destinies, Jacob and many believers were forced to leave the city of New Ross, hide their names, and take refuge in various towns. Now that Ma Wei has returned to the Kingdom of Windsor, it is time to gather them together again.
With Jacob and the others here, there is no need to worry about the unloading problem. The goods from the Romanov Kingdom can be transported to the Kingdom of Frederick first, and a leather bag company can be established in the Kingdom of Frederick. They can trade with the Kingdom of Windsor in the name of the bag company. , In this way, many unnecessary risks can be avoided.
As long as he can become the official potion dealer of the Church of the Three Destinies, Ma Wei can use the name of the Kingdom of Windsor to send trade invitations to other churches and kingdoms, and use London as the base to form a huge trade network.
By then, the number of potions passing through his hands every day will be astronomical, and countless resources will be transported to the Romanov Kingdom by sea and land.
The money Ma Wei earns here can also support the church.
The Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny probably never imagined that the Frederick royal family would secretly help them...
In the Kingdom of Frederick, which advocated militarism, the influence of the church was far inferior to that of the old capitalist kingdoms such as the Kingdom of Windsor and Bonaparte's First Empire. There, the king was more convincing than the pope. If God hadn't come, the church would not have had any influence. Can't lift it up.
Those ancient Junker nobles are simply easy to deal with. As long as they are given enough benefits, they will definitely be the king's loyal lackeys. It happens that the emerging potion industry can satisfy this.
Tomorrow I have to think about how to write a business tender document, and the sleeping bread needs to be replenished... The potion company has to establish a production department dedicated to making potions...
"There are still many things to be busy with. I also promised Mrs. Freya to visit her horse farm in the countryside next Sunday..."
Speaking of Freya, a charming and graceful woman appeared in Ma Wei's mind. The second prince wanted to match them up, but Ma Wei was not interested in this woman at all... It can't be said that he was not interested at all. He was still interested in this woman. Somewhat curious.
After her husband's death, Freya took care of many family businesses including the horse farm by herself. She managed them in an orderly manner, which proved that this woman had some skills. And she was a member of the second prince's camp, and she might be the same as many nobles. There are shady things going on...
If someone is sent to keep an eye on her, they might be able to find some useful information.
"By the way, why hasn't Fat Orange come back yet?"
Ma Wei suddenly remembered the fat orange and the little black who left London for New Ross City. They have been away for a month. As of today, there is no news at all. Could it be that they encountered danger on the way?
Logically speaking, no...
Although Xiao Hei has a perverse personality, he listens to Fat Orange. Fat Orange has a steady personality and will avoid danger as soon as possible and will never act rashly.
"It's broken! They don't seem to know that we have moved to Flower Street!"
With a start, Ma Wei sat up from the bathtub and kept slapping his head, which made his head feel big.
When Fat Orange and Xiaohei left London, Ma Wei and the others were still living in the villa of Baron Frederick's family in Yinling District. Now they have moved to far away East London. When Fat Orange and Xiaohei come back, they can find their home. ?
"It should be no problem." Ma Wei thought about Fat Orange's usual style and became less nervous.
Fat Orange and Little Black were originally born as wild cats on the street. Now that they have been blessed by the goddess, they will definitely not starve to death. If they return to London, who knows where Ma Wei and the others have moved, they will definitely gather the local cats in London. , a large-scale search for traces of the Mawei people.
It will be found sooner or later.
Um.
should.
Such a ridiculous thing as losing the Archbishop of the Church on a long trip would never happen to Ma Wei!
You can’t admit it happened!
I can't afford to lose this guy!
....................................................
The next day, Ma Wei slept until 10 o'clock in the morning before waking up leisurely. He had some insomnia last night and dreamed of a little black cat wandering alone on the streets of London. He was dirty and shouted "Master". 'Master, where have you been?' and a box of matches tied around his neck.
The match seller?
How is this possible....
Shaking his head, Mavi tried his best to let go of this unrealistic dream, put on his clothes and went downstairs. He found that Yunia was the only one in the store, lying on the table playing with the bear in a bored manner.
"Ah! Dad, you finally woke up!" Seeing Ma Wei coming downstairs, Yunia suddenly became energetic and ran over happily.
"Where are they?" Ma Wei looked around, asking about the message and Daniel's movements.
"I went out early in the morning." Yunia said, "I said I was going to the city center, but I didn't tell me what I was going to do."
"Yannick isn't home either?"
"Well! This morning's newspaper said that the Church of the Three Destinies was going to hold a mass at St. Paul's Cathedral at noon. When it saw it, it ran over!"
"Ignore them, are you hungry? I'll make lunch for you."
"Um!"
Today is January 1st, the first day of the new year. All shops are closed, including the potion grocery store. There will be a celebration on the street, but it won’t start until the afternoon. You can go shopping after dinner. What about business tenders? Yes, it’s too late to do it at night.
Ma Wei cooked some noodles, a specialty of the Roman Republic, with tomato meat sauce and cheese powder, and made a simple lunch. While he was eating, there was a knock on the door.
Isn't it closed? Why are there still customers?
Ma Wei walked into the store with a strange look on his face and found a gorgeous carriage parked outside the store. Outside the window glass, a woman wearing a mesh headscarf was peeking into the store through the glass.
Freya de Chevalier!
