Looking at the asset appraiser who entered the room, the nobles were obviously stunned for a moment.
They did bring the contract for the property under their name, but unexpectedly, not long after they sat down to chat, the second prince invited the bank staff to ask them to use assets as collateral for loans.
It's a big gamble.
If the assets are used as collateral, once the Manstein Potion Company fails to win the bid, it means that the investment may lose money.
No.
You will definitely lose money.
Even though Ma Wei has proven his ability, he can obtain many potions from abroad through a wide range of channels, but without the support of the church, he cannot break through the upper limit.
The risk of investing all his property into the Manstein Potion Company is too high, and the consequences of failure are unimaginable, and the family may decline overnight.
On the contrary, you can make a lot of money.
If Manstein Potion Company wins the bid and gets the support of the Church of the Three Destinies, it is unimaginable how much profit it can make with the size of the church and Ma Wei's channels.
The magic potion is, after all, a blank.
No one wants to miss this opportunity, and no one dares to place a rash bet.
"Everyone, you seem to be still hesitating."
The second prince Shukri was unhurried and was not angry at the nobles' hesitation. Instead, he said with a smile: "It's not your fault. After all, you have never seen the magic potion made by Nicholas, so it is normal for you not to invest. ... Smith.”
"Yes, Your Highness."
Smith, who was sitting aside, turned around and left, and after a while, he came back with a plate of sliced toast.
"Sleep Toast is a product launched by Manstein's Potion Grocery Store. I can guarantee that you will never find another potion product like it in London."
The second prince Shukri raised his hand and said, "Try them all. Archbishop Brandon is full of praise for it."
The nobles picked up the toast with suspicion. It was not that they were afraid that the second prince would poison it, but that toast... they had long been tired of eating it.
Facing the second prince's determined tone, they became curious about the effect of toast.
What is the magic potion that can make a figure like Archbishop Brandon full of praise?
There is always the first person to eat crabs. A noble took a small bite of toast. The cool toast was mixed with a hint of milky fragrance. The taste was ordinary. For nobles who were used to delicacies from the mountains and seas, this was nothing unusual. , freshly baked toast is delicious.
The other nobles all took a wait-and-see attitude, staring intently at the noble who was eating the toast.
At first, the nobleman who ate the toast had no reaction. After half a minute, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. He shook his head. He closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa. His frown relaxed and the corners of his mouth raised. With a smile on his face, he let out a moan of enjoyment.
The other nobles looked at each other, wondering what happened to him. Ten minutes later, the noble who had eaten the toast slowly opened his eyes, looking like he was still unfinished.
"What do you see?"
"I saw...."
The nobleman who ate the toast hesitated to speak. It was impossible for him to tell the fantasy that appeared in his mind, just like Archbishop Brandon would not say that he became the pope in his fantasy.
There are some secrets that cannot be told.
"You will know after you taste it." As he said that, the nobleman who had eaten the toast took another bite of the toast.
Seeing this, the other nobles also gave up their doubts and tasted the toast in their hands. They all thought it was nothing unusual and tasted ordinary, but then...
Like the first nobleman who ate toast, they closed their eyes.
Various extremely real scenes appeared before my eyes.
Ten minutes later....
The nobles opened their eyes one after another, some in disbelief.
The second prince, Shukri, took a puff of his cigar, exhaled a puff of gray smoke, and said with a smile, "Are you all satisfied?"
"This toast..." someone asked: "How much does it cost? How much is the portion?"
The original price of Sleeping Toast was 10 gold pounds/pound, which was already very expensive. However, the second prince was not satisfied and doubled the price of Sleeping Toast without Ma Wei's permission.
"20 gold pounds per pound, is this price expensive?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive!" Someone waved his hand, "A pound of toast can last you a long time. If you eat it piece by piece, a pound of toast can last you a whole day! This is much more cost-effective than cocaine!"
Dino had sold a 50% concentration cocaine solution. Ma Wei knew the price of cocaine solution in the upper class. A shot of 3% concentration cocaine sold for 3 gold pounds. After the injection, the effect would last for more than an hour, and it could give people... Feeling happy, but after waking up, there will be a strong feeling of vomiting and dizziness.
Not only that, there are certain risks in injecting cocaine solution. After all, the priests of the Church of the Three Destinies cannot stay with you 24 hours a day. If you overdose on drugs, the consequences will be disastrous.
It is not at all uncommon for aristocrats to die from drug addiction.
In comparison....
The sleepy toast launched by Manstein's Potion Grocery Store is much milder. Not only does it have real effects, but there is no obvious discomfort after taking it, and the price is about the same as cocaine.
More importantly, when injecting cocaine, nobles cannot control the illusions. Sometimes the illusions in their minds are extremely terrifying. Sleepy Toast does not have such troubles. It will only let you see what you want to see.
Regarding the second prince's unauthorized price increase, Ma Wei didn't say anything. They were all making money anyway, and they want you to make more, so you can't get angry!

"Sleep Toast will definitely replace cocaine and become a popular potion product in London!" Someone concluded.
Among the nobles, there are many who sell cocaine, marijuana and other drugs through various channels. Once sleepy toast is popularized in London, it is very likely... No!
It will definitely affect the sales of drugs.
This is important.
But if they also have a stake in Sleepy Toast, the loss of drug profits won't matter so much.
"Even if the bidding fails, Nicholas will sell various potions in London." The second prince said slowly: "There is a potion called mercury blood. Experiments have proved that mercury blood can treat extraordinary people." The creatures have the effect of paralysis and restraint, and with the blood of mercury, the church can capture more living bodies, which... is another huge profit."
The captured living bodies can be kept alive or sold to other nobles as playthings. No matter what, the church will make money.
And how could the church, which relies on mercury blood to capture extraordinary creatures, not purchase mercury blood in large quantities?
By then, will Manstein’s Potion Company still be worried about not having orders?
This is the reason why the second prince summoned the nobles today.
Gold will always shine.
As long as the product is effective enough, you won’t have to worry about not having buyers!
This is the iron rule in business!
"You must think clearly." The second prince said with a smile: "Today, Nicholas raised funds privately for my sake. The opportunity is before you. If you miss this opportunity, wait until the company goes public and the stock price rises... .You can’t buy the same number of shares with the same money.”
The second prince can be said to have given Ma Wei enough face. In his opinion, Ma Wei is now more important than any of the nobles sitting here.
He has made his choice.
There is no turning back.
All we can do is try our best and give it a try.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Smith immediately took out a contract and said: "I will pay 200,000 gold pounds to purchase one percent of the shares of the Manstein Potion Company."
The second prince valued the Manstein Potion Company at 20 million gold pounds. In other words, investors could only contribute money based on the valuation, and how many shares they could buy depended on the proportion of investment corresponding to the valuation.
Smith's 200,000 gold pounds accounted for exactly 1%.
It may not seem like much, but this is a real share. If the Manstein Potion Company soars in the future and its total value soars, this 1% share will be worth more than 200,000 gold pounds.
Not only that, monthly profit dividends will also be paid into Smith's bank account.
After Smith and Mawei signed the contract, the second prince Shukri also took out a pen, handed over a certificate of deposit of 500,000 pounds in public, signed his name on the equity investment agreement, and received 2.5 from the Manstein Potion Company. % shares.
Under his instigation, some nobles couldn't sit still and called in the bank's asset appraiser to mortgage the assets and sign the contract to snatch this fleeting piece of cake.
They are greedy,
It's like a gluttonous feast.
