"No matter how dangerous it is, we must expand our business to other kingdoms."
In the empty conference hall, Mavey put his cigar into the ashtray and extinguished it: "This is one of the prerequisites for the Manstein Potion Company to be profitable, and we must find a way to solve it."
"Um...."
After thinking for a while, Archbishop Brandon said, "If you have to go, I can accompany you, but His Highness must stay in London. He will definitely be in danger if he leaves London."
"Let's talk about it then. I'll go back and make arrangements first to organize the manpower to go to other kingdoms."
"good."
After picking up the flowerpot and saying goodbye to Archbishop Brandon and the second prince, Mavey planned to leave the Capitol. As soon as he walked out of the door, Freya chased after him.
"Nicholas! Wait a minute!"
"Any thing else?"
"Are you going to the factory? Take my carriage! Let's go along the way!"
Mavey did not refuse Freya's invitation and followed her to the back door of the Capitol, avoiding the reporters who were preparing to interview them at the main entrance, and drove towards Havering District.
On the way, Freya kept staring at the Enchanted Flower that Mavie was holding in his arms. Seeing that she was so curious, Mavie simply handed the flower pot over to let her take a good look. It was quite tiring to hold it anyway.
"The obsession flower...an extremely rare potion..." Freya stroked the delicate petals and said softly: "Where did you get the mermaid's tears?"
"I have my channels."
Seeing that Ma Wei didn't want to talk more about this matter, Freya changed the subject: "Are you the owner of this obsession flower?"
"No." Ma Wei shook his head: "This is an ownerless flower of obsession."
"You didn't feed it blood?" Freya asked in surprise: "Why?"
"I plan to sell it or put it in the store for viewing."
"How about selling it to me?" Freya leaned forward and asked eagerly, "I'm willing to pay 5,000 gold pounds!"
"you?"
Ma Wei looked Freya up and down, and after a while he shook his head and refused: "I won't sell it."
"Aren't you going to sell it? Why don't you sell it to me?"
"I'm afraid you'll drug me after you raise it."
"......"
Freya's eyes suddenly turned resentful: "In your eyes, am I this kind of person? In order to pursue a man, I would not hesitate to drug him?"
"Actually, the price you offered is too low." Ma Wei said calmly: "Including the obsession potion, the cost of this pot of obsession is more than 1,200 gold pounds, and the obsession flower needs to be fed continuously for a month to be effective. You will definitely want to buy a fascination potion from me, but the fascination potion in my hand is only enough to make a pot of fascination flowers, and I will sell it to you for 5,000 gold pounds, which is a huge loss."
The cost is 1,200 gold pounds, the selling price is 5,000 gold pounds, and the profit is 3,800 gold pounds. No matter where it is placed, this is a good deal, but in Ma Wei’s opinion, the value of the fancy goods is definitely more than 5,000 gold pounds!
As for what I said before, worrying that Freya would drug herself if she bought the Obsession Flower, it was just a joke.
With the protection of the bard's singing ring, Ma Wei is not afraid of the magic potion of the obsession flower at all. He can just undo it after being attacked.
"How about 10,000 gold pounds?" Freya bit her lip and said, "This is the highest price I can give!"
"What do you want it for?" Mavey stared into Freya's eyes: "Give me a reason. If it suits my heart, I will sell it to you."
With Freya's appearance, background, family background, figure, beauty and other conditions, it is not easy to seduce men. Her only shortcomings are age and divorce, but these shortcomings can be made up for, the noble princess , who doesn’t covet it?
She doesn't need to be obsessed with flowers at all!
unless...
She wanted to use it on some man she couldn't take.
After thinking about it, Mavis felt that he was a bit narcissistic, but no matter how he looked at it, Freya bought the infatuated flower queen
, the target of possible use is him.
There is a saying circulating in the arms industry: Never be injured by the weapons you sell.
Who would be stupid enough to sell weapons to their "enemies"?
"If you don't want to sell it, forget it." Freya angrily threw the flower pot to Mavi, turned to look out the window, and after a while she suddenly said: "I can accompany you to other kingdoms."
When discussing matters with the second prince and Archbishop Brandon, Freya was also present. She heard about Ma Wei's plan to establish branches in other kingdoms, and it was indeed a big risk to propose it now.
"We'll talk about it then." Ma Wei didn't want to discuss the matter too early: "Maybe the employees sent out can handle it themselves, and it will save us a trip."
"Who are you going to send? The Manstein Potion Company is full of new employees. They are sent to other kingdoms to negotiate cooperation and establish branches. They need trustworthy backbones. Where can the company get the backbones?"
Ma Wei smiled mysteriously: "Freya, you don't think that I came to London with my family and have no connections at all..."
"What's the meaning?"
"I used to be a grocer, and I have traveled to five continents. If I don't have my own subordinates, how can I guarantee my personal safety?"
Ma Wei borrowed Dino's identity from the grocer's experience. Dino, known as the Gray Wolf, was a grocer who traveled around the world. If his business had not failed, he would not have been penniless. .
The development of the Pluto Chamber of Commerce to this day is indispensable to Dino. He single-handedly founded the Pluto Chamber of Commerce and carried it forward.
Even if Dino didn't choose to join the Church of Truth, he could still thrive.
"I have already written to them." Ma Wei said, "In a few days, they will come to London by boat and meet me."
"Why didn't you tell Shukri and the others about this?"
"It's not too late to talk to them when they arrive. I haven't determined the specific number of people yet."
Narrowing her eyes, Freya seemed to have thought of something: "Could it be that you have been secretly placing your own people in the company?"
"Who knows? Do you think so?"
"I can't see through you more and more, Nicholas."
"There are still many things you don't understand about me."
While he was talking, the carriage stopped. The young coachman opened the door and got out of the car. The familiar smell of coal smoke poured into his nose. Several stray cats ran past the roadside. Freya couldn't help but frown when she saw it. He frowned: "There are more and more stray cats on the street recently..."
"There are many cats, which means mice are starting to move." Ma Wei asked indifferently: "Do you like cats, Freya?"
"fine."
"I understand, your birthday is next week, right?"
"What?" Freya teased, "Are you going to give me a gift?"
"certainly."
Ma Wei smiled and said, "I'll give you a mysterious gift."
After entering the factory, the manager Jacob immediately walked out of the office, came to Ma Wei and others, and asked expectantly: "What's the result of the bidding?"
"Gather everyone together and speak in unison."
"good!"
Hearing that Ma Wei was about to gather the workers, Jacob immediately guessed the result. He took out the whistle from his waist and blew it. After a while, the workers came one after another.
In the hall, Ma Wei stepped onto the high platform made of wooden boxes, clapped his hands, signaled the workers to be quiet, and said loudly: "Manstein Potion Company won the bid. From today on, we are members of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny. The only potion dealer! All workers will be rewarded with three days’ wages!”
Wow——
There was a burst of cheers from the workers. Some knew what it meant to be a church enactment dealer, some didn't, but regardless of whether they knew it or not, it was a joy to give out bonuses.
"Steven, starting from tomorrow, all production lines will be operating at full capacity to produce potions. The formula and materials will be delivered to the factory tomorrow afternoon. The potions produced must be subject to strict quality control, and no corners are allowed to be cut. After the production is completed,
, shipped to these addresses, and handed over to stores for sale. "
Ma Wei told Jacob the address of the shop he rented a few days ago, which also meant that Manstein Potion Company was about to get on track. Jacob took it with a smile on his face and called on the workers to continue working.
"And one more thing."
Ma Wei called Jacob and said to him: "Find a few workers who are good at business and let them serve as store managers and be responsible for the management and sales of the branch."
"clear!"
Why doesn't Jacob understand what Mavey means?
The workers who are good at business are of course the few old believers who opened a shop in New Rose City!
Although the Aurora Society has arrived in London, Ma Wei has not yet started a job fair, so they cannot legitimately enter the company. It just so happens that the factory needs to arrange several members of the Aurora Society, so it is perfect for them to replace the old believers in New Ross City.
There were still many things to be busy with. After explaining the store affairs, Ma Wei rushed to the newspaper office and published the company's recruitment information in the newspaper, preparing to recruit another wave of people.
After seeing the recruitment information, Kovalev and others will definitely come for the interview. With a little arrangement, they can enter the company quietly.
At night, Ma Wei, who returned to Flower Street, had dinner, opened the darkroom in the study, activated the Hall of Gods, and contacted Dino.
"Great! After winning the bid, the next step can be taken!"
Above the surging gray fog, Dino's excited voice came: "Do you want me to prepare more potion materials and transport them to London?"
"Just keep transporting once every half a month for the time being. Tomorrow I'm going to check the church's potion storage warehouse and find materials to send to the factory. From now on, in addition to mercury blood, sleep toast, and the club of Hercules, etc. Do not transport the exposed potion materials to London, produce them in the Romanov Kingdom, and purchase the finished products directly through the channels of the Manstein Potion Company and the Kingdom of Frederick."
After becoming a designated dealer, the main potions produced by the factory are of course the formulas mastered by the Church of the Three Goddess of Destiny. The formulas in the hands of the Church of Truth must be produced into finished products and then purchased. In this way, profits can be maximized. , feeding back the church.
Due to the severance of diplomatic relations between the Kingdom of Windsor and the Kingdom of Romanov, the potions produced by the Church of Truth must be shipped to the Kingdom of Frederick and purchased through the branch there.
Just in case, Ma Wei also planned to ask Dino to send people to the Southern Continent to cooperate with the tribes there and set up a leather bag company to sell the magic potions of the Romanov Kingdom.
Even if one day the secret sale of potions in the Romanov Kingdom is exposed, the leather bag company in the Southern Continent can be used to take the blame and attract attention.
The situation in the Southern Continent is no better than that of the Central Continent. It is vast and sparsely populated, mostly uncivilized indigenous tribes. It is the largest exporter of slaves. Except for the Witch God Cult, few churches can gain a foothold there. The indigenous tribes have their own belief, but they are led by the Witch God Cult, which has little contact with the Central Continent...
Two thousand years ago, the Apocalypse God System could still control and rule the Witch God Cult in the name of the main god. But now that times have changed, the Witch God Cult has long been separated from the control of the Apocalypse God System and has become its own sect.
The Apocalypse God System, which has lost its main god, is still divided and unable to unify, so naturally it cannot take care of the Wushen Sect, which is located in a corner.
Using the Southern Continent as a springboard is perfect.
"The Witch God Cult was once a member of the Apocalypse God System, but their gods are not as noble as the Three Goddesses of Fate and the God of Judgment. They belong to the third echelon, similar to the Church of Truth's Goddess of Happiness Salina and God of Secrets Ger ...."
Dino thought: "I don't know if it is feasible to cooperate with them."
"You don't need to contact the Witch God Cult, you just need to set up a fake company in the local city." Ma Wei said: "The Kingdom of Windsor is currently busy with the affairs of the United States of Citi and has no regard for the Southern Continent. Wait until they calm down. Our plan has already been successful."
"Okay." Dino nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said in a deep voice: "By the way, I have received some rumors recently..."
"What's the rumor?"
"You know that Her Majesty Katerina has established a special intelligence organization, led by Bodlinov. Recently, they seem to have sent people to the Kingdom of Windsor. I don't know what they want to do, so I pretend not to know." Dino explain.
Hearing this, Ma Wei frowned.
He has always been in charge of the affairs of the Kingdom of Windsor. There is a clear division of labor between the church and the kingdom. The church is responsible for outward expansion, while the royal government stabilizes the domestic situation and distracts the attention of other kingdoms. Normally speaking, if Katerina has anything The idea was that he should be informed as soon as possible instead of secretly ordering Bodelinov to take action.
"Don't overthink it."
In the silence, Ma Wei said: "We should believe in Your Majesty. She is a smart woman who knows when to do things. This is a critical period. We cannot be suspicious of our companions. Maybe this is just a simple infiltration operation. Your Majesty established it." Of course the special intelligence organization must infiltrate other kingdoms, otherwise why would it even exist?"
"I understand." Dino responded slowly: "I don't know about His Majesty sending men to the Kingdom of Windsor. I have never heard of it."
"That's it."
After the contact, Ma Wei sat in the darkroom for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. Yunia, who was still feeling a little bored, yawned and pulled him out of his thoughts: "Sorry, you are very sleepy. ,right?"
[In view of the general environment,
Yunia rubbed her eyes and nodded: "Yeah..."
"Let's go and wash up, and then I'll tell you a story. Where did I tell you last time?"
"Blackbeard Tikki!"
