Father Mavie

Chapter 535 Others Say I'm a Shrewd Person (Please Subscribe!!!)

In the lounge, besides Sir Sander, there are two of his good friends who are in a mess-Herbert Asquith, the president of the underground club, and David Gladstone, the children's doctor.

It was Mavie's request to gather at the Nightingale Club today.

If you want to join the Nightingale Club, of course you can't directly ask Sir Sander and the others to submit a letter of recommendation. There must be a suitable reason. It just so happens that Russell Benjamin is a businessman, and Sir Sander is also a businessman. Everyone always has an intersection. It is entirely possible to find an excuse and meet at the club.

This is the first time Mavi entered the club as a guest. I have to say that the Nightingale Club is worthy of its position. In the elegantly decorated lounge, there are various famous paintings and statues. This is a museum, and even the sofa is a handmade cigar chair, which is soft and comfortable to sit on, and fits the body as if sucked in.

"master."

Just as Mavi was seated and was about to talk to Sir Sander and the three, Edward suddenly approached from behind and whispered, "Someone is eavesdropping outside the door."

"Well, don't worry about it."

With Edward around, Ma Wei wasn't afraid that someone could eavesdrop silently. Even through the door, Edward could sense the other party's blood, which was the inherent ability of the blood race.

As for who is outside the door
Ma Wei had a guess in his mind.

Although there are many club members, everyone pays more attention to each other's privacy. Those who dare to hide outside the door and eavesdrop are either under the club's owner, Hilton Mobile, or the prince Charles.

Why did the other party eavesdrop?

Simple because he's Russell Benjamin now.

Chairman of Benjamin Construction Company.

The reason for Gawain's defection to Arthur, Ma Wei had heard from Arthur a long time ago, knew that Gawain had a grudge with the eldest prince Charles, but there was not enough evidence, so he could only suspect but could not convict.

The eldest prince Charles didn't know that Gawain was suspicious of him. To be precise, he didn't know what Gawain was planning to do. A construction businessman from the north suddenly crossed the border and came to the south. This was enough to cause alarm.

"Mr. Benjamin, you"

Sir Sander was about to speak when he suddenly saw Ma Wei raising his hand and interrupted him: "Mr. Sander, are you in good health?"

"Ah good, good."

"We met at Herbert's manor a few days ago. It was really satisfying. Herbert really lived up to his reputation. His underground club can satisfy any request. Who is this?"

Ma Wei looked at Dr. David who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Are you also a member of the club? It's the first time we met. I'm Russell Benjamin. Just call me Benjamin."

"David Gladstone."

David, the children's doctor, nodded stiffly. He was very uncomfortable acting in this scene. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the Mawei gourd.

Next, Mavi took Sir Sander and the three of them to chat about other things. There was no important information at all. After listening for more than ten minutes, the butler Nix outside the door returned to the lounge of the eldest prince Charles and reported to him. things I heard.

"Russell Benjamin is a member of Herbert's Underground Club?"

Hearing this news, the eldest prince was a little surprised.

He was well informed, of course he knew what Herbert was up to, and he tried his best to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing and ignore it.

We are all on our own, so we shouldn't be too harsh on things. Who doesn't have any special preferences?

Tolerance can make more friends.

Prince Charles has always regarded this sentence as the truth.

Ma Wei's appearance was something he never expected. Could it be that Herbert's underground club is so famous that businessmen from northern cities can come here admiringly?

"Your Highness, they have been chatting about something that is not very nutritious, should I listen to it again?"

"Need not."

The eldest prince closed the book, got up and said, "I'll go and see him in person. Sir Sander likes to play golf. Go and get my new set of golf clubs."

"Yes."

A few minutes later, Prince Charles came to lounge No. 5, grabbed the door handle with one hand, and knocked on the door gently with the other.

Hearing the knock on the door, Sir Sander glanced at Ma Wei, and with the tacit consent of the other party, he said loudly: "Please come in!"

squeak
The door opened, and the eldest prince Charles walked in with a smile on his face. The three of Sir Sand stood up all of a sudden, and said in panic, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

"Didn't I tell you last time that I bought a good set of golf clubs?" Charles said with a smile, "I'm not used to this set of golf clubs, so I plan to bring them over and ask Sir Sander to take a look at them. But Sander Jazz seems to have guests, so I won't bother you."

Butler Nix put the whole set of golf clubs in his arms on the table, and was about to leave with the eldest prince Charles. At this time, Marvey winked at Sir Sander, signaling him to keep the eldest prince.

"and many more!"

In desperation, Sir Sander couldn't control the volume, and almost yelled, forcing Prince Charles to stay.

Under the puzzled eyes of the eldest prince Charles, Sir Sander said nervously: "Let me introduce to Your Highness, this is Russell Benjamin, a friend I met by chance, Benjamin, this is His Highness the First Prince."

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the First Prince."

Ma Wei bowed slightly, saluted and said: "I have long heard that the eldest prince Charles is easy-going, and seeing him today, he really lives up to his reputation."

"Russell Benjamin"

The eldest prince repeated the name, and asked after a while, "This should be the first time we've met."

"Yes, meeting for the first time."

"Your accent sounds like a northerner."

"I am from Edinburgh, Your Highness."

"But it's a bit like the West Island."

"Because of official business, I stayed in the West Island for two years, and I just returned to the East Island not long ago."

Faced with the prince's temptations, Ma Wei responded fluently. He was telling the truth. Gao Wen did go to the West Island for business. These things can be found out with a little investigation.

"Sit down and talk."

Prince Charles sat on the chair by the window, took out a cigar from the humidor, and the butler Nix immediately took out the lighter and lit it for him.

"What do you do, Mr. Benjamin?"

"architecture."

After a pause, Ma Wei added: "I heard that London will launch a metropolitan subway bidding plan in the near future, so I made a special trip to participate."

"Oh"

Eyes narrowed, the eldest prince Charles said meaningfully: "As far as I know, merchants in the north have a hard time in London. The city of London is too xenophobic. I am speaking more bluntly. I hope you don't mind." .”

"A few years ago, my father also came to the city of London." Marvey said: "At that time, he participated in an open railway bid by the government. He failed because of insufficient qualifications. Not long after he returned to Edinburgh, he An unexpected death."

"London Railway Project." The eldest prince Charles said slowly: "I remember this incident. At that time, the Rossbury Construction Company won the bid. The London Railway is still under construction. You came to London this time. What is your plan?" Expansion to the south?"

"London is the capital of the Kingdom of Windsor. Which businessman doesn't want to come here?" Ma Wei said helplessly: "To tell you the truth, Your Highness, this time, I'm here to find a backer."

"backing?"

"That's right. London is a city full of fish and dragons. It is difficult for outside businessmen to set foot in. If Benjamin Construction Company wants to win the bid for the metropolitan subway plan, it must have a certain background, or the support of a certain big man."

Ma Wei took out a business card and pushed it in front of the eldest prince: "As you said, Your Highness, I am a businessman from the north, and I have been squeezed out everywhere in the south, so I have to try my best to make friends with powerful people. This is the only way. Benjamin Construction Company There is hope for continued development.”

The eldest prince didn't pick up the business card on the table, he smoked a cigar faintly, the light and shadow fell behind him, his face was shrouded in shadow, it was difficult to see his facial expression clearly.

"You came for me." The eldest prince said suddenly.

"Yes Your Highness, my target is you."

"why?"

"Does this need a reason?" Ma Wei smiled: "The first friend I met in London was Sir Sander, who happened to be a member of your club. After coming here, no matter who I met, I will hand over my business card and say what I just said, what I need is a background, and I will approach whoever your Highness can help me."

For this reason, the eldest prince really couldn't find any flaws.

Ma Wei's words were full of emotions, and he didn't take him seriously as a prince inside and outside the words, and all the talk was about benefits.

At the beginning, the eldest prince felt uncomfortable, like a thorn in his throat, but soon he was relieved.

Talk about interests to those who pursue interests, talk about feelings to those who pursue feelings, talk about money hurts feelings, talk about feelings hurt money, since Russell Benjamin in front of him pursues interests, it shows that he is willing to give up many things for interests, such as.
Affectionate.

If Russell Benjamin was a businessman who died for money, the eldest prince would have no pressure. As long as he could provide enough benefits to the other party, the other party would not betray him.

After thinking this through, the eldest prince picked up the business card on the table, looked at it, and asked, "What can you provide me?"

"What do you need, Your Highness?"

"It depends on what you can come up with." The eldest prince's eyes moved to Ma Wei's eyes, and the three of Sir Sander became the background board at this moment, unable to intervene.

"I'm here to make money, Your Highness."

Ma Wei said with some embarrassment: "If you want too much dividends, I need to think about it."

The eldest prince smiled slightly, put the business card in his arms, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is really an honest man."

"Others say that I am very shrewd and never trade at a loss."

"Who wants to trade at a loss?"

Shaking his head disapprovingly, the eldest prince suddenly changed the subject:

"The day after tomorrow, the club will hold a golf competition, and many nobles will participate. If you have time, come and participate."
