Father Ma Wei Text Volume Chapter 272 As soon as the storm came out of the shadow of the prison, the second prince began to make small plans.
His idea was very simple, he just wanted to use Mavey to get more favorable conditions for himself. From the Paris incident, he already knew what Mavey was thinking. No matter what conditions Anatole promised, he would not betray the goddess of fate. Church, doesn’t this mean anything?
The second prince, who already trusted Ma Wei immensely, now had no doubt about Ma Wei's loyalty. He had no way out.
Ma Wei was recommended by him, and if Ma Wei had any problems, he would not be able to escape his involvement.
Now that the "Paris Potion Agreement" has been signed, all barriers have been completely opened, and Manstein's Potion Company has ushered in the opportunity to take off. At this time, the second prince's last retreat has also disappeared.
Now, he is completely bound to Ma Wei, sharing weal and woe. If something happens to Ma Wei, he will never be able to escape. On the contrary, if something happens to him, Ma Wei can be exempted from punishment by virtue of his importance to the church.
To put it simply, regardless of whether Ma Wei is a spy sent by other churches, the second prince must think that he is not!
Not only must I support Mavey in my heart, but I must also defend Mavey and the Manstein Potion Company in practical actions!
This situation is obviously what Ma Wei is happy to see. After experiencing this incident, his relationship with the second prince has become closer, enough to enter the core social circle.
In late April, the fleet sailed into the Thames River and after running around for more than half a month, the Maveys finally returned to London.
There was no danger on the way back, and no one wanted to assassinate Ma Wei or the second prince. Ma Wei estimated that the assassin's absence might have something to do with Archbishop Brandon and Archbishop Liviu.
Before departure, there was only one archbishop and one saint on the ship. When we returned, there were two archbishops and two saints. If we really take action and the goddess comes, who can hurt Ma Wei?
When Pope Umbry I learned that Ma Wei and others had returned safely, he went to the dock to greet him personally. He put up a huge battle and cleared away the irrelevant people. Rhodes IV did not come, but the eldest prince did. He is the king. representative.
The signing of the Paris Potions Agreement means that the potions market has officially begun internationalization. How can the church not pay attention to such an important matter?
Pope Oubli I invited Mavey to sit in his own carriage, and while heading to St. Paul's Cathedral, he asked about the market conditions in Paris and the Manstein Potion Company's next plan.
"His Majesty the Pope, the signing of the Concordat means that the multinational joint market is on the right track. Other kingdoms should say that potion companies supported by other churches will also open in London. We should start the market again based on the potions and materials they sell. Evaluate, set appropriate and reasonable transaction prices, be independent but not independent, start to popularize, popularize, and popularize the potion market, quickly expand the potion market, and implement a diversified strategy."
Ubli I only understood half of it. He seemed to understand half of it. He was not an expert in this field. Archbishop Brandon understood everything and explained: "What Nicholas means is that we should let ordinary people also participate in potions." During the operation, the potion business will be liberalized and transformed from the original church private ownership to the public ownership."
The statement that the church is privately owned and the public is public is still too conservative. Ma Wei’s idea is actually to break the monopoly of the church, open up the third-level potion market transactions, and give some of the benefits to the ordinary people. Of course, Archbishop Brandon cannot say it explicitly, but euphemistically
Explain in terms of private and public.
"Open the potion market?" King Ubli I pondered: "How to open it specifically?"
"To put it simply, the public is allowed to mine, breed, and grow the raw materials for potions. After they are mature, the Manstein Potion Company will uniformly recycle them. In this way, it will not only reduce the pressure on the church and the company, but also allow people to
People get preferential treatment, costs are further reduced, and a market-oriented business model is realized."
"If marketization is initiated, wouldn't it cause potion companies in other countries to bypass the Manstein Company and purchase potions directly from the private sector?" Ubli I frowned and said, "Doing this would be detrimental to Manstein's magic.
What are the benefits to drug companies?”
"His Majesty the Pope, opening up the private potion market is the general trend. If an industry only wants to make money, then monopoly must be the best way. If it wants to expand outward and seek better development, opening up is the only and necessary way.
road."
Ma Wei said: "With the support of the church, Manstein's Potion Company can certainly achieve market monopoly, but this is not what we need. Money is only a small part of our needs. What we really need is to earn money through potion operations."
Control the economy of other countries! Only in this way can the Kingdom of Windsor sit on the world's number one throne forever!"
Afraid that Ubri I would not understand, Ma Wei added a few more words: "Opening the potion market is only the first step. The Kingdom of Windsor must set an example for other kingdoms. We have opened the market, and other kingdoms must also open the market! When
When a certain industry is profitable, even if the law prohibits it, it cannot stop the people!"
"If only the Kingdom of Windsor opens the potion market, then people in other kingdoms will secretly sell the potion materials they obtain at low prices to the Manstein Potion Company! Because only the Manstein Company is willing to pay for it!"
"In this way, the price at which we purchase potion materials from other countries will definitely be different from the apparent price of potions. It will definitely be lower, and other kingdoms will need to pay a higher price if they want to purchase potion materials from the Kingdom of Windsor!"
Ma Wei said in a serious tone: "As long as we open the potion market, other kingdoms will follow suit! When all countries that have signed the Paris Potion Agreement open their domestic markets, the potion business will quickly enter a period of prosperity.
The Kingdom of Windsor can completely use its greatest maritime advantage to expand outward and obtain more benefits!"
Now Ubli I understood. Ma Wei was playing a big game. Opening up the potion market was detrimental to the church's monopoly position on the surface, but in fact it was forcing other kingdoms to stand on the same starting line as him. In that case, he already occupied the
The Kingdom of Windsor, with its inherent advantages, can further expand its market share and earn more!
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The more I think about it, the more scared I am." Ubli I took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead and said: "Nicholas, if you are left by Anatole,
Paris, what a terrible thing! Your loyalty to the Church, the Kingdom, and the Goddess is there for all to see!"
As he said that, King Ubli I smiled: "The church wants to reward you, tell me, what reward do you want?"
When Ma Wei reached this point, there was nothing he couldn't gain, and the church didn't know what to reward him for his loyalty, so it simply let him decide for himself.
"As a potion dealer of the church, helping you is helping myself. I have already chosen the Kingdom of Windsor and will not change my decision. No one likes a traitor, right?"
"Yes, who would like a traitor? Traitors should be hanged on the gallows!" Ubli I said: "But rewards must be rewarded, Nicholas, and those who are loyal to the church and the goddess must be rewarded. This
It is meant to be seen by more people. Whether you need it or not, want it or not, we will reward you. You don’t have to think too much, just say whatever you want.”
Ma Wei was a little confused. It wasn't that he was being pretentious, but that he really didn't know what he needed.
Seeing Ma Wei's hesitation, Archbishop Liviu next to him said: "Why don't you say hello to the king and reward Nicholas with the title of knighthood. With his merits, even if he is not a duke, he can become an earl, and then reward him with a territory and a manor.
"
"What? A title?" Ma Wei's eyes widened and he quickly refused: "Thank you, Archbishop, for your kindness, but the title is okay."
What a joke!
According to the rules of the Kingdom of Windsor, nobles cannot enter the House of Commons, which actually holds power!
Nobles can only enter the House of Lords!
The eldest prince, the second prince, and Freya all have party support behind them. The eldest prince is from the conservative party, and the second prince is from the liberal party. Then what?
They are not the actual controllers of the party at all! They can only be regarded as people supported by the party, and the leader of the party is someone else!
The most important thing for a party is not how much money it has or how many nobles it has, but the number of supporters in the House of Commons!
The power of the House of Commons far exceeds that of the House of Lords. Under such circumstances, it would be foolish for Mavey, who wants to participate in politics and enter Congress, to accept the reward and become a noble.
You know, even the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Winston Churchill, first passed the title of nobility to his son before entering the cabinet!
Only civilians can serve as cabinet members and prime minister of the kingdom!
Although relinquishing the title and then entering the cabinet is a loophole in the system, at least the attitude is there, and there is no big problem. Mavey does not want to become an earl. His goal is the House of Commons, and he cooperates with the four princes internally and externally to establish the Labor Party.
!
"Don't want a title?"
A flash of light flashed in Archbishop Liviu's eyes: "Nicholas, do you want to join politics?"
"Yes."
Ma Wei frankly admitted that it was impossible to hide something, so it was better to admit it openly: "I want to participate in the next general election and enter the House of Commons."
"Why?"
"Um"
Glancing at the car behind him, Ma Wei pretended to be embarrassed: "It's not convenient to say."
Ubli I looked back and suddenly realized.
In the carriage behind, sat the Second Prince and the others.
It is no secret that the second prince and the eldest prince compete for the throne. Everyone from the king to the women on the street can chat with each other. Since it is a competition, it depends on their respective abilities.
As a quasi-core member of the Second Prince's faction, Ma Wei's participation in politics in the House of Commons can provide considerable help to the Second Prince.
Manstein Company can not only provide financial support to the second prince, but also provide political assistance. No matter how you look at it, this is a signal for in-depth cooperation.
This is not surprising.
King Ubli I nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not reward you with a title."
"Thank you."
"Give the title to your younger brother, Felix or Jonas." King Oubli I changed the subject: "If they don't participate in politics, it will be no problem if they get the title. Or do you want to give the title to yourself?
Daughter, Emma?”
Ma Wei lowered his head and looked at Junia, and said with a smile: "His Majesty the Pope, Emma is still young, why does she want a title?"
"If you have a territory of your own, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future." Ubli I said, "You can decide on this matter. You can tell Archbishop Brandon who will be rewarded specifically, but you must make a decision as soon as possible."
"Let's do it now." Ma Wei said: "Let's reward Earl Felix."
As the second eldest son of the Manstein family, it is normal for Mavey to transfer the title to Felix. In Mavey's view, Daniel most likely despises this title. He is the first crown prince of the Kingdom of Frederick.
, the future king, the entire territory of the kingdom will be his, and a small earl may not look down upon him.
On the other hand, Levin does not have as big a secular backer as Daniel, so it would be good to give him a title and a life of nobility.
When they arrived at St. Paul's Cathedral, Mavey declined King Ubli's invitation to dinner, and rushed to the head office with Levin and others on the pretext of handling company affairs.
In the office, Tiffany was holding a pen and staring at the documents in front of her in a daze. She was upset and couldn't settle down, as if she had lost her soul.
There has been no news from the head of the regiment for half a month. I heard that the Bonaparte Empire has blocked the border, so nothing will happen.
The tip of the pen poked the paper, and Tiffany let out a long sigh. She was unspeakably annoyed. She thought it would be better to join the Manstein Potion Company, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't see the leader.
Click.
The door opened.
"I'm not hungry, Josephine, you go out to eat." Tiffany, who thought she was a colleague from the accounting department, said without raising her head.
A rose comes into view.
"Tiffany, what can you do if you don't eat well?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Tiffany slowly raised her head, looking at the unfamiliar face but the extremely familiar tone in front of her, her eyes suddenly turned red, she sniffed and said: "Mr. Felix, what are you doing?
Don’t you have an appointment with Miss Helena?”
"Go find her tomorrow." Levin placed the rose in front of Tiffany: "I want to invite you to dinner."
"You go with Gina, she works much harder than me."
"You work as hard as she does." Levin said seriously: "I don't know how to thank you, Tiffany."
"cough."
Ma Wei, who felt that the two of them were going to chat for a long time, coughed: "What, I brought the Paris branch's report and next month's shipment list, as well as the company's next development plan, how about we talk first?
Something about business?"
Tiffany quickly wiped her eyes and said seriously: "I know, boss."
Summoning other employees of the company, Ma Wei held a meeting. It was a rare occasion for him to fulfill his duties as a boss. He carefully explained the company's development direction and made detailed plans based on the conditions of each branch. The implementation would be left to Tiffany and others.
Now, Ma Wei has other things to be busy with, so it is impossible to spend all his time in the company.
It was already evening after solving the company's problems. After stretching, Ma Wei decided to go to Canary Wharf to see the Fat Oranges. He had been away from London for nearly a month and didn't know how they were doing.
Just when Mawei had just walked out of the company door and blew the brass whistle to summon a carriage, Freya suddenly walked out of the restaurant across the street.
"The owner of the dignified Manstein Potion Company doesn't even have a carriage of his own. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others if you tell him?"
