Father Mavie

Chapter 454 Operating License (Please Subscribe!!!)

Early the next morning, when Stuart woke up from his dream and came to the observation deck on the second floor, he happened to see Ma Wei standing among a group of nobles talking and laughing happily.

Ma Wei seemed to have told a joke, which made the people around him burst into laughter. After stopping to watch for a while, Stuart stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Nicholas, good morning."

"Oh, Stuart, good morning, how did you sleep last night?"

With a cup of coffee in his hand, Mavi turned around and looked at Stuart with a smile.

"Not bad." Stuart replied with two dark circles under his eyes.

In fact, he couldn't sleep all night last night, he couldn't sleep in a daze, thinking about things about Ma Wei in his head, such a huge opportunity, but an excellent opportunity for him to prove himself to his father!
If there is no outstanding contribution or other reasons, the second son has no chance to inherit the family, and Stuart is no exception. His elder brother is too good, smart, and has excellent business talent. He manages the family business in an orderly manner, and has already entered the the House of Commons.
Stuart does not want to compete with his elder brother for the position of head of the family. The Kingdom of Windsor implements the eldest son inheritance system. As the second son, he does not have the title of nobility and the right to inherit the estate. He just wants to prove his ability to his father. If he can develop on this basis It's better to go your own way.

"Mr. Nicholas, we discussed it last night."

"Have you had breakfast?" Ma Wei suddenly interrupted Stuart's voice, looking down at his pocket watch: "There is still an hour for breakfast, if you don't eat something, you will be hungry in the morning."

"."

Looking at Mavi's eyes full of sincerity, Stuart took a deep breath and said, "I'm not hungry, Mr. Nicholas, I want to talk to you about something serious."

"Are we talking here?" Ma Wei looked around the crowded second-floor observation deck: "I want to go to the restaurant and have some bread."

"No problem, I'm just hungry, let's go there together."

On the way to the restaurant, Stuart asked casually, "Where are your brothers? Why didn't you see them? And Emma?"

"Oh, they got up late, you know, I'm the eldest son and the eldest brother, so naturally I have to work harder."

"I think Mr. Felix and the others are too aggressive, and the second son should also contribute to the family." Stewart blurted out, and realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Nicholas, you love you very much wife?"

"Oh"

Ma Wei raised her head halfway, as if remembering her non-existent 'wife': "Of course I love her very much, I don't think I will ever forget her in my life, I can always hear her voice in the dead of night .”

With that said, Mavi wiped his eyes twice.

Stuart nodded and thought for a while before saying: "With all due respect, you, Nicholas, will be busy after the airship arrives in London. I'm afraid you don't have much time to control Emma. Emma is very sensitive at her age, so you should give her more The love of loved ones is right”

"Are you suggesting that I find a mother for her?"

"For your family, for your business, and for Emma, ​​you should do this." Stuart said firmly: "London is a big city, and it is the political and commercial center of the Kingdom of Windsor. There are many excellent women there, and I know them The youngest daughter of a noble family, only 18 years old this year, is studying at Oxford University, and her family is prominent.”

While talking, Stuart paid attention to Ma Wei's facial expression. When he found that Ma Wei had no reaction to the 18-year-old noble daughter, he quickly changed: "Besides her, I also know a duchess whose husband died this year. She is not yet 30 years old, has no children, is also very beautiful, has clever means, and can get along well in the upper class. If Nicholas is interested in her, I would like to introduce her to you."

"Thank you so much." Ma Wei smiled. He was not interested in the widow, but in the duchess. The title of duke is already the highest rank in the nobility. A woman, it means that this duke has been passed down for at least two generations.

The Kingdom of Windsor implements the eldest son inheritance system. After the head of the family dies, the eldest son can inherit his father's title of nobility and all property.

If the eldest son also passed away, the first heirs to the title and property were the eldest son and daughter. If the eldest son had no heirs, then the second son's right of inheritance would be his turn.

If there is no second son but a daughter, the daughter can temporarily inherit the title and property, but she only has the right to use the property. Once married, the title and property will be transferred to the husband.

Mavi is quite familiar with this method of inheritance. It is mainly to ensure the unity of title and property, so that the nobles will be "expensive" forever. It is a means used by the ruling class to protect themselves.

There are two types of nobles in the Kingdom of Windsor, one is hereditary nobles, whose titles can be inherited, and the other is lifelong nobles, whose titles cannot be inherited. Lifetime nobles are usually rewards given by the king to meritorious persons, and will be withdrawn after death.

A duchess of a hereditary aristocrat. This is a 'sweet pastry'. Whoever marries her will become the new duke immediately. One can imagine the allure.

but
Mavie's ambitions are more than just a duke.

In the restaurant, Stuart ordered a cup of espresso and a croissant. While adding sugar to the coffee, he looked at Mavi sitting next to him: "Mr. Nicholas, do you have any relevant certificates for the potion business?"

Finally got down to business.
Ma Wei sipped his coffee and admitted frankly: "No, where does the potion business get a business license? This is a new industry!"

"Yes, a whole new industry."

Hearing that Mavi didn't have the relevant license, Stuart raised a smile: "I think the church and the kingdom will soon make detailed plans for the potion business. By then, shops without a license may not be able to continue to operate."

After taking a sip of coffee, Stuart said again: "If Mr. Nicholas is troubled by the issue of the business license, then I think the Frederick family should be able to help."

"How can you help me?" Ma Wei asked knowingly.

"In addition to the ordinary business license, the Kingdom of Windsor also has a special certificate called the royal license. As long as Nicholas holds the royal license, no matter what you do, no officials will interfere. The Frederick family and Shuke Prince Li has a good relationship, and Prince Shukri has the help of the church behind him."

Stuart put down the coffee cup with a smile and asked, "Mr. Nicholas, do you think the Frederick family has the ability to help you now?"

Ma Wei squinted his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, tapped his fingers on the table, and was silent for a few seconds: "There is no good thing in the sky, you help me get the royal license, what do I need to pay?"

"I don't care about the specific requirements. When I arrive in London, I will take you, Mr. Nicholas, to see my father. We will talk about it in detail then, how about it?"

Stuart is not stupid. On the contrary, he is very shrewd. He did not immediately negotiate terms with Ma Wei, but threw the problem to his father. If the business cooperation is negotiated, and Ma Wei is indeed capable of handling potions, then he must be the master , If the business fails, Baron Frederick finds out that Ma Wei is a deceitful liar, and Stuart is not responsible for it. He just introduced Ma Wei and did not pay the price.

but
Stuart's shrewdness fell into Mavie's hands.

From the very beginning, his goal was not to operate any potion business, but to use the potion business to break into the kingdom and the church, gain the trust of the princes and the church, and occupy a place.

Managing potions is just a process, and helping the fourth prince Arthur secretly is the goal.

As long as Baron Frederick can be attracted by the introduction of the potions merchant, then Mavi is confident in attracting the second prince Shukri behind Baron Frederick, and then the archbishop behind the second prince Shukri
Ma Wei came here with real materials. With the endorsement of the Romanov Kingdom, he can really manage potions and meet the requirements of Baron Frederick. Not only is he not a liar, but he is also truly scary!
No matter how powerful a grocery merchant is, there are only a few nobles behind him, and behind Ma Wei
It's a whole kingdom!

As the pope, he can do too many things, and his starting point is much higher than other grocery merchants, just like an adult bullying a child.
Gaining the trust of the Frederick family is only the first step. Only after gaining a firm foothold in London can the next step be implemented.

"I will think about your proposal carefully, Stuart."

After drinking the coffee in the cup, Mavi smiled and said, "I also hope that everyone can reach an agreement, but the specific situation, we still have to wait until we arrive in London, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Nicholas." Stuart nodded heavily: "I think you will be satisfied with the strength of our family, for sure!"
