Father Mavie

Chapter 452 Potion Merchant (Please Subscribe!!!)
In the restaurant lit by candlelight, the waiter in white served dishes on silver plates. There are many dishes on the airship. Mavi chose the whole goose feast, and the starter was foie gras with pan-fried butter bread. The portion is so small that you can finish it in one bite.

The appetizer is followed by onion and clam soup, followed by the main course - the whole roast goose. Of course, Mavi can't finish it. He will cut up the roast goose and share it with others.

"It seems that Nicholas, please forgive me for calling you by your first name. It is true that the three of you brothers are all surnamed Manstein. In order to distinguish them, I want to call you by a more intimate name."

Under Ma Wei's kind smile, Stuart Frederick, a young man with a shiny back, took a sip of his red wine and continued: "Nicholas, you speak Windsor very well and know our situation very well. Ever been to the Kingdom of Windsor?"

"I know a few friends from the Kingdom of Windsor, Stuart." Ma Wei shortened the young man's name, which is more intimate: "They told me a lot about the Kingdom of Windsor. When I was in school, I yearned for the Kingdom of Windsor very much."

After the conversation just now, Mavie has found out the details of the young man sitting on his left. Stuart Frederick is from the city of High Wycombe next to London. His father is the current Baron of High Wycombe. It can also be called Baron Frederick, one is a title, the other is an honorific suffix, you can call it whatever you want.

Stewart is a typical son of aristocratic family. He is studying at Oxford University. Taking advantage of the year-end vacation, he brought his female companion whom he met in college to travel to the Kingdom of Frederick. The long sword blue badge on his chest is the symbol of the Frederick family. .

Marvey, who has served in the Royal Navy for many years, has some understanding of the nobles in London. Among the nobles of Windsor, Baron Frederick is barely considered to be in the upper middle class, but Baron Frederick has a very powerful place.
He gave birth to a good daughter, Elizabeth, who married Prince Shukri Windsor of Oxford, also known as His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

Strictly speaking, this is not a family marriage, but Prince Shukri's own choice.

If it is a marriage, Prince Shukri will definitely choose a more prominent and top-notch noble family, rather than the upper-middle-class Frederick family.

As for Stewart's father, the current Baron Frederick, who serves in the House of Lords, he has two sons and a daughter. The daughter is naturally married to Prince Shukri's Elizabeth. The eldest son, Killarney, is 35 years old and has inherited the family business. The second son is Stuart, who is 21 years old this year and is still in school and does not interfere with the family business.

The blond woman sitting next to Stewart is his classmate at Oxford University, studying finance. Her name is Abigail, and she comes from a merchant family. Her father is engaged in the jewelry industry and is very rich.

Stuart and Abigail are already engaged. As the second son in the family, Baron Frederick doesn't need to let his son marry the daughter of a noble family. On the contrary, a businessman with a lot of wealth is what the Frederick family currently needs.

And Abigail's father, James, needed to marry an aristocrat to step into the upper class. The two hit it off, and the engagement was finalized after only one meeting.

Stuart and Abigail ended their trip and on their way back to the Kingdom of Windsor, they happened to meet the Maveys.

The status of a businessman is definitely not as good as that of a nobleman, but Stuart did not despise the identity of Ma Wei and the others. Instead, he kept asking about the "financial resources" of the Manstein family, trying to find out about Ma Wei's details.

But after communicating for a long time, he only knew that Ma Wei was a grocery merchant, and he knew nothing about his strength. On the contrary, his family's information was almost tricked by others.

It’s not his fault either, Stuart has restrained himself from revealing the information, but by coincidence, the Mavie he met had served in the Royal Navy for many years, and his former boss, Toure Crowley, had told him a lot about nobles. thing, when Stewart said his family name.
A lot of information has already been exposed to Ma Wei.

"Nicholas is going to London this time, is he planning to settle down and do business there?" Stuart forked a piece of goose meat and dipped it in apple sauce, stuffing it into his mouth.

"Yes." Ma Wei nodded: "Over the past few years, our three brothers have accumulated some contacts and funds, and plan to go to London, which we have always longed for."

"The water in London is very deep." Stuart patted the back of his fiancée Abigail's white hand: "Her father is a well-known jeweler in London. If you don't mind Nicholas, I'll take care of you when you arrive in London." Let me introduce you, you can exchange experience, and you can also get familiar with the situation in London in advance, so you can avoid many detours."

"That's really great!" Mavi raised the red wine glass in his hand, touched Stuart, and left as soon as his lips touched the wine.

With the help of Stewart's relationship, Mavi can get in touch with the London business circle and the Frederick family. As long as he shows enough strength, the second prince, Prince Shukri, will also notice him.
Didn't the Manstein family successfully get in touch with the upper class of the Kingdom of Windsor?
A ticket of 50 gold pounds is great value for money!
"By the way, what is your main business, Nicholas?"

After the main meal, Stuart asked the waiter to remove the plate and bring dessert, and asked while waiting: "There are many kinds of grocers, some sell everything, and some specialize in one kind of product. What about you?"

"Oh, we also sell everything, but the focus is on herbs."

"Herbal medicine?" Stuart raised his eyebrows, "Is it related to the pharmaceutical industry?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ma Wei knew that Stuart had misunderstood. The pharmaceutical industry in Stuart’s mouth referred to the pharmaceutical grocery dealers who sold opium, cocaine, marijuana and other commodities. According to the laws of the Kingdom of Windsor, smoking cocaine is not illegal. The concept of drugs It didn't appear either, just like cigarettes, as long as you have money, you can buy it at any pharmacy.

This is a lucrative industry. Firms and companies that sell drugs are backed by top aristocrats. Overseas plantations are their private property, and they can grow whatever they want. At the beginning, the United States of America wanted to seize the market of the Romanov Kingdom. The behavior aroused the boycott of the Kingdom of Windsor, and there were disputes over the interests of the aristocratic group.

Dino didn't dare to touch the interests of these top nobles at first, and he didn't take a share of the pie from them until Brutal's firm became well-known and got to know many nobles.

Drug trafficking, of course Ma Wei will not do it. What he wants to do is the serious herbal medicine and potion business, which is fundamentally different from drug trafficking.

"Stuhl, have you read the newspapers of the Romanov Kingdom?"

"No." Stuart shook his head: "I don't understand Slavic."

Ma Wei beckoned, and Levin at the side immediately took out the newspaper he had prepared in advance and handed it over.

"The latest issues of the Romanov Kingdom's Pravda have published a lot of information about extraordinary herbal medicines. I think this is a big business opportunity, so I want to open a shop selling extraordinary herbal medicines." Ma Wei said.

Hearing this, Stuart's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in surprise: "The Kingdom of Romanov would actually disclose the information of extraordinary herbs? What do they think?"

"Who knows?" Ma Wei shrugged, looking like he had nothing to do with himself: "Anyway, they did this, and I plan to take the opportunity to make a fortune."

"Do you have a channel?"

The white-clothed waiter brought the dessert, but Stuart was not in the mood to enjoy it at the moment, and kept asking: "As far as I know, extraordinary herbal medicines have side effects that humans cannot resist, and only extraordinary people can obtain them and can do this. Not many people”

Ma Wei smiled and said vaguely: "Our three brothers have worked hard outside these years and accumulated some contacts. Dessert is here, let's eat it quickly."

"Oh"

Stuart ate the triangular cake bit by bit, absent-minded, with flickering eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Noticing his expression, Ma Wei knew that the fish had already bit the hook, and the next thing was to loosen the line and pull it hard.
After eating the cake in two or three bites, Ma Wei grabbed the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, got up and said, "Stull, I'm a little tired, I'm going back to my room to rest first, you can enjoy it slowly."

"How about sitting down for a while?" Came back to his senses, Stuart suggested: "I have a bottle of old wine from the Bordeaux region in my box. How about everyone coming to my room for a drink?"

Levin was a little moved, but fortunately Ma Wei understood his temperament, and said first: "Thank you for your invitation, but today is really too tired, let's do it tomorrow."

"Okay, then tomorrow." Stuart nodded with difficulty.

Embracing Junia who was holding on to the cake plate, Ma Wei winked at Levin and Daniel, and the three turned their heads and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Before returning to the room, Ma Wei and the others went to the kitchen by the way, and brought a whole plate of cakes and a few bottles of expensive red wine - the cake was Junia's, and the red wine was Levin's. This kid drank it at the table. After drinking a whole bottle, the guests at the other tables cast strange glances repeatedly, thinking that he was an alcoholic.
Back in the guest room on the fourth floor, Levin and Daniel first came to Mavi's room, closed the door, and asked aloud, "Brother, that kid Stuart has good wine, why did you refuse his invitation?"

"What kind of distance is the most itchy?" Ma Wei took off his coat, slowly hung it on the hanger, and said in a calm tone: "The distance that is far and near is the most itchy."

"What we have to do is to make Stuart aware of the huge gap and profits in the potion industry. Anyone who is not a fool can understand the importance of potion in the future."

Levin nodded: "So brother, you want to seduce Stuart, right? What good does it do us?"

"Behind Stuart is the Frederick family, and behind the Frederick family is the second prince Shukri. To make friends with Stuart is to make friends with the second prince Shukri."

"But what we support is not." Daniel hesitated to speak, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Aren't we supporting the fourth prince Arthur?"

"It is indeed him, but have you ever thought that we should disintegrate the enemy from within?"

Ma Wei sat on the sofa behind the tea table, resting his chin on one hand, and said with deep eyes:

"If you want to stir up this big fish pond in London, a small wooden stick is not enough. We should use several other forces to fuel the flames behind the scenes and completely plunge the situation into chaos."

"As long as we can control the potion market in the Kingdom of Windsor, then no matter which prince or archbishop will rely on us, then we will have the power to shake London. On the surface, we are Arthur's enemies, but in reality."

"Is it really so?"
