The invitation from the eldest prince Charles was equivalent to acknowledging Ma Wei's words. Although he did not say it clearly in person, he needed to seize the opportunity himself. Ma Wei knew in his heart that the eldest prince was testing him.
If the eldest prince Charles does not come to the Nightingale Club today, Ma Wei will submit an application for membership and ask Sir Sander and the other three to come up with letters of recommendation to join the club first and then contact the eldest prince Charles.
But the eldest prince Charles not only came today, but also contacted him personally. After some pulling, Mavey finally achieved his goal.
There is no need to take out the letter of recommendation today.
It's not too late to apply to join the Nightingale Club after finishing the golf tournament the day after tomorrow.
The goal had been achieved, so Ma Wei naturally had no intention of staying. He left the club with Edward, took a carriage to Russell Benjamin's apartment in London, and then used teleportation magic to return to Flower Street.
Although this is a bit troublesome, it can get rid of the tracking eyeliner to the greatest extent.
"Your Highness..."
Shortly after Mavey left, a bank employee sneaked into the club and told Prince Charles the news that Manstein Potion Company was going to be listed on the London Stock Exchange on Monday.
Upon hearing the news, the eldest prince Charles' face suddenly became solemn. He returned to his lounge and frowned in thought.
"How much money have they prepared?"
"No less than 8 million gold pounds."
"How many shares will be released?"
"I heard it's 30%."
Even if all 30% of the shares are collected, it will not shake the foundation of Manstein Potion Company. As long as 70% of the shares are still in the hands of Ma Wei, the second prince and other nobles, there is no need to worry about the investment in the exchange. stock.
Of course, when it comes to things like equity, whoever gets the most has the final say. Now Nicholas has joined the second prince. The potion company that is about to be listed will be the biggest competitor in the future. The eldest prince will not just sit back and do nothing. He is planning what to do. Something comes up...
"Nix, go notify Bracken and ask him to prepare 3 million pounds to purchase the shares of Manstein Potion Company on Monday."
"Your Highness, wouldn't this help them raise funds?" Butler Nicks was a little confused.
"Even if we don't acquire the stock, someone else will do it." The eldest prince said in a deep voice: "We must secretly obtain some of the low-priced stocks when they were first listed. In this way, no matter who wins or loses in the future, we will all You can do something with the stocks you have.”
Butler Nix was about to say something else, but the eldest prince waved his hand and interrupted: "No need to say more, just go and do it. By the way, tell Bracken that our potion company will also be listed on Monday. I think Andrew has also received it. News, if nothing else, he will also choose to go public next Monday, and there will be a fierce battle by then... It is always right to prepare more funds."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will do it right away."
Nix left quickly. Prince Charles stared at the gray sky outside the window, feeling depressed. This was the first time he felt pressure. Before Ma Wei came to London, everything went so smoothly. He seemed to be able to feel it. He felt the crown, but now the situation suddenly became complicated and confusing. His two younger brothers took action one after another. This was undoubtedly a declaration of war.
A war without gunpowder has begun.
....................................................
In the evening, Mavie and Edward's figures suddenly appeared in the study on the second floor, changing back to Nicholas's appearance. Mavie changed her clothes and walked downstairs.
"Brother, you are back!"
Seeing Ma Wei coming downstairs, Lai Wen, who was responsible for looking after the store, immediately stood up and asked with concern: "How is the situation?"
"It went very well. The eldest prince invited me to participate in the golf competition held by the club the day after tomorrow. I have successfully attracted his attention. As long as I work harder, I will definitely become a formal member of the club and get in touch with Hilton Mobile... How is the business today? Sample?"
"It's almost the same as the past few days." The letter handed the account book to Ma Wei: "It's just that the number of people buying Sleepy Toast suddenly increased. We prepared 20 copies today, and they were all sold out before noon. There were still many people buying them in the afternoon. Let me ask, do you want to prepare more goods tomorrow?"
Ma Wei is not surprised that sleepy toast has become the best-selling item in the store.
Just like cigarettes, smokers smoke them every day, and the effect of sleepy toast is stronger than cigarettes. Those nobles who can even smoke and inject cocaine will definitely not be able to resist sleepy toast.
"You didn't eat it secretly, did you?" Ma Wei looked at the account book, "I'm warning you, although I have reduced the dose of the potion in the sleepy toast, it still has a certain degree of addiction. This addiction is not Physically, but psychologically, you must not touch it, do you understand?"
After Ma Wei lowered the dose of the magic medicine in the toast, the addictiveness of sleepy toast is very low. As long as you don't eat 10 pounds a day, you will definitely not be addicted.
Who can eat 10 pounds of toast a day?
But Sleepy Toast is still addictive. Mavey has discovered this in Archbishop Brandon.
The body is not dependent on toast, but psychologically, many people are unable to extricate themselves from the beautiful illusion brought about by sleeping on toast.
Sometimes, mental illness is more difficult to treat than physical illness.
"Brother, you look down on us so much!" Lai Wen yelled, squeezing his neck: "Why are Daniel and I eating that food? We don't lack anything, we live so fulfilling every day, we don't need to eat that food!"
"That's good."
Ma Wei nodded, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He found that it was almost 6 pm, so he closed the door and stopped business for the day. Today's turnover was 550 gold pounds, and he sold 20 copies priced at 20 gold pounds. Sleep Toast, 2 vials of Mercury's Blood, 10 vials of Hercules' Sticks, and 10 Tickle Chocolates.
As a new product, Itchy Chocolate aroused the curiosity of many nobles. They bought it at home just to test the special effects of chocolate, but...
This is a trick product specially prepared by Ma Wei for Daniel to go to school. It sells for 2 gold pounds per piece. Some unsuspecting nobles ate it and probably couldn't sleep all night...
Forget it, it's not life-threatening anyway, don't worry about them.
After dinner, Ma Wei called Yunia back to the study, and used Siren's Tears to open the dark room behind the bookcase. There was a stone platform in the dark room. On the stone platform, a five-pointed star array and a magic array were engraved in gold. At the top, human skulls, hand bones, leg bones are placed in order...
Ancient Magic - The Hall of the Gods.
The Hall of the Gods was specially brought by Ma Wei to contact the Romanov Kingdom. Buggy said that the Hall of the Gods is extremely complex, and the medium is the Oracle Silkworm, which is a magical magic that uses endless darkness to communicate. , the Golden Gods used the Oracle Silkworm to deceive Buggy. Even Buggy couldn't find something, and the three goddesses of fate certainly couldn't do anything about it.
The stone platform has been set up, and the statue of Junia is placed in the middle of the magic circle. Ma Wei places the white oracle silkworm in the middle of the stone platform, bites his finger, squeezes out a few drops of blood, and feeds it to the silkworm to devour.
The oracle silkworm that absorbed the blood quickly turned red, spit out a red silk thread, wrapped it around the statue, and connected it to the human bones placed at the top of the magic array. When the thread was connected, the five-pointed star array lit up with red light. A faint gray mist also appeared above the stone platform, densely covering the roof of the darkroom.
After a brief silence...
Above the gray mist, Dino's voice suddenly sounded.
"Father?"
The hazy mist dispersed like ink, and a black shadow appeared, floating in the air, casting its sight towards the gray mist.
"it's me."
Mavey waved his arm gently, and the gray fog began to surge, and a clear picture appeared. In the picture, Dino stood in the prayer hall of St. Basil's Cathedral, staring at the scene that appeared in the gray fog.
"Long time no see, Dino."
Dino failed to see through Mavey's disguise at the first time. Mavey now looked like Nicholas von Manstein, but he quickly recognized it, shook his head and smiled: "Father, I thought you were in London. You will contact me as soon as possible after that. I didn’t expect it to take so long...I thought you were in some kind of trouble."
"Everything is fine here. How is the situation at home?"
"It's nothing big. The land reform is still in progress. The situation in Kiev, Warsaw, and Helsinki is still tense, but there is no sign of war. Recently, the Wisdom Cult suddenly stopped. I don't know why... By the way. , this morning, Her Majesty Katerina specifically asked about your situation! She was very worried about your appearance. "
"I recently...."
Mawei told everything that happened after he came to London, and then went straight to the point: "What is the economic situation of the Romanov Kingdom? I need financial assistance."
"Father, the money you want is not a small amount..." Dino said silently: "The church's finances are tight, and the kingdom is also the same. The goods are unsalable and trade cannot be carried out... I will think of a way."
Of course, Ma Wei knew the situation at home. He was not optimistic before he left, and there was no sign of improvement after the year. Dino was also under great pressure. He also expected Ma Wei's potion company to drive the church's economy...
"It's okay, I have other ways, you don't have to worry about it."
Ma Wei said: "I will take care of the money myself. You can manage the church and tell Her Majesty Katerina that everything is fine with me."

"Is it really okay?"
"No problem, don't forget, we still have the Fourth Prince as our ally."
