After two hours of asset appraisal and mortgage, the nobles scraped together a huge sum of 7 million gold pounds.
This is almost their entire net worth.
Dare to do this, firstly, because Ma Wei has shown the strength that they recognized, and secondly, because of the strong support of the second prince Shukri and Archbishop Brandon.
Thinking about it carefully, they actually had no way out.
It's a battle for the throne, a war of factions, and only one prince will have the last laugh.
If they, who have joined the second prince's camp, do not support the second prince with all their strength and hide him until the second prince fails in the competition, will they have a good end?
Everyone is already a grasshopper on a rope.
What's more, the nobles here are all the confidants and direct descendants of the second prince, so it's useless to be clever.
7 million gold pounds, plus the 700,000 gold pounds taken out by the second prince and Smith, totaling 7.7 million, accounting for 38.5%, and the remaining 61.5% of the shares are in the hands of Ma Wei.
This distribution method is relatively healthy. From the beginning, the second prince did not intend to seize too many shares of Ma Wei. If the Manstein Potion Company wanted to develop and grow, Ma Wei was a crucial role. If he could not earn Money, what should I do if I give it up?
Don't miss the overall situation because of temporary gains and losses.
"When the company goes public next Monday, it needs to put 30% of its shares into the market. Nicholas, how about I just take out these shares from you?" the second prince suggested.
"no problem."
Ma Wei agreed immediately and put his shares into the market. This was a normal financial move. Even if he sold 30% of the shares, he would still be the largest holder of the shares.
When the potion company makes money, he can secretly acquire the stocks on the market and return the equity holdings to 51%.
but....
Having said that, Ma Wei is still worried that the second prince or others may have some tricks up their sleeves, such as raising funds to buy stocks and seizing the company's equity when the potion company goes public. If that's the case...
I'm afraid he won't be able to buy back the shares he sold.
Ma Wei has other ways to deal with this.
He has now received 7.7 million gold pounds in cash. Part of this money can be given to the communication, so that he can quickly snap up low-priced stocks after the market opens and buy back 20% of the shares before the stock price rises. , he won’t have to worry about losing control in the future.
The company's initial operations require a large amount of money. It is impossible to use all the 7.7 million pounds that were finally raised to buy back shares. Mawei also needs to get some money back from other channels.
A force that can spend millions of gold pounds at once...
I'm afraid there aren't even a few of them in London.
You can ask Dino about the situation... I don't know if the church's funds have been rich recently. If so, it can be used to temporarily fill the gap. As long as he can win the bid, Ma Wei is confident that he can earn back the money within half a year. Money comes.
The big issue was finalized, and the second prince Shukri was relieved. He warmly invited Ma Wei to have a belated lunch with them. During the audit, no one left the living room, and all the urine turned into sweat. , no one dared to leave on such an important occasion.
This time, Mavey did not refuse the second prince's proposal and took Yunia to a lunch at Kensington Palace. At the banquet, he had a great conversation with the nobles, and the topic of conversation never left the Manstein Potion Company.
It can be seen that everyone is very nervous, with all their wealth weighing on them, who doesn't want Ma Wei to be more "viable"?
Maybe, Ma Wei will be their future cash cow...
There's nothing wrong with greeting you with a smile.
After lunch, Ma Wei and Yunia returned to Flower Street. It was exactly 4 pm when they got home, and the Nightingale Club had not yet closed.
"Emma, you stay at home with Felix and the others. Yannick, you come with me."
Instead of taking Yunia, who wanted to go to the club, Mawei only took Edward as a bodyguard. Although Edward's strength is not as good as that of a god, he has no problem walking sideways in London. Plus, he can't defeat the Heart of the Jungle, which can teleport. Just run away!
With the monocle inserted into his eye sockets, Ma Wei had already put on a blue tuxedo. He held a silver snake-head cane with his white-gloved hands, fiddled with a lock of white hair on his forehead, and stood in front of the mirror to check. After checking his appearance and confirming that it was correct, he grabbed the top hat on the table, took Edward, who had also been disguised, and activated teleportation magic, leaving Flower Street.
South Bank of the Thames, Lambeth Borough, Nightingale Club.
As a private club open only to members, the Nightingale Club never displays a sign indicating that it is open or closed. The door of this house is always closed. The butler will only open the door when members arrive.
But today, the Nightingale Club received an uninvited guest.
Winter winter winter!
Mycroft, the butler hired by the club, heard the knock on the door and subconsciously glanced out the window. He didn't see the members' carriage parked on the street. With doubts, he opened the door a crack, exposed half of his head and looked out. He met the eyes of a well-dressed middle-aged man.
"Your Excellency is..."
"Is this the Nightingale Club?" Ma Wei raised the brim of his hat politely.
"Yes, what do you want?"
"I was invited by Sir Sander to come here for a visit."
"Sir Sander...what is your name?"
"Russell, Russell Benjamin, from Edinburgh."
After thinking for a moment, the housekeeper opened the door and let Ma Wei and Edward into the hall, asking them to wait in the sitting area at the door. He quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door of the private lounge.
"Enter."
There was a lazy voice in the room. Butler Mycroft walked into the lounge, glanced at Butler Nicks who was standing behind the sofa, quickly came behind the eldest prince, and whispered a few words.
"Russell Benjamin?"
"Yes, Your Highness, he said his name was Russell Benjamin and he was from Edinburgh."
The eldest prince, Charles, had a gloomy expression on his face. He knew this name. It should be said that the surname Benjamin made a deep impression on him.
Many years ago, an old guy named Benjamin came to London to grab business. He was also from Edinburgh.
There should be some relationship between this Russell Benjamin and that old guy. Logically speaking, the other party should not dare to set foot in London again. Why...
The eldest prince Charles was a little unsure of what the other party was thinking, and said calmly: "I understand."
"Your Highness, what should I do?"
"Isn't he a guest invited by Sir Sander? You should ask Sir Sander for his opinion." Prince Charles said calmly.
"yes."
The butler Mycroft turned and left. Sir Sander happened to be at the club today. He also brought a few friends and was discussing the secrets of making a hole-in-one in golf. The reason why he came to report it to the eldest prince first was, of course, because of his The status is more noble.
"Knicks."
As soon as Mycroft left, the eldest prince put down his books and said to his butler: "Go and see what that Russell Benjamin is doing here."
"As commanded."
Butler Nix chased after him and saw Mycroft walking into the lounge where Sir Sander was. After a while, Mycroft hurried out again, quickly went downstairs, and said respectfully to Ma Wei who was standing at the door. :
"Mr. Benjamin, I have kept you waiting. I have already asked Sir Sander. You are indeed his invited guest. Please come with me."
】
Ma Wei stood up and followed Mycroft to Lounge No. 5 on the second floor. The Nightingale Club was very large and had many rooms. Each member had his own independent lounge. If you don’t want to be disturbed, you can hang a sign at the door to achieve peace of mind.
Dongdong!
Mycroft knocked on the door, entered the lounge No. 5 dedicated to Sir Sander, bent down and said: "Sir Sander, Mr. Benjamin is here."
Sir Sander, who looked a little pale, trembled slightly, squeezed out a smile on his slightly old face, and stood up to greet Ma Wei who walked into the room.
He opened his arms and said hello like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years: "Benjamin! My friend! I'm so glad you could come!"
Butler Mycroft didn't want to disturb this 'touching' scene, so he exited the room. Just as he was about to close the door, a hand suddenly reached out and blocked the crack in the door.
"Shh..."
Butler Nix made a silent gesture to Mycroft, indicating for him to leave. He stood outside the door and eavesdropped on the conversation inside the house.
