"Go home and wait for the news. If you pass the interview, we will notify you as soon as possible."

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Ma Wei saw off the last applicant, threw away the pen that had been filled with ink a few times, slumped back, and pushed Stuart, who was dozing off with his chin resting next to him, to wake him up.

"Huh?" Stuart opened his eyes blankly, looked at the empty conference room and said, "It's over?"

"It's over." Ma Wei picked up the notepad in front of him: "There are a total of 562 applicants, and all interviews have been completed."

Ma Wei's interview speed is already very fast. At the beginning, one person was interviewed in 3 minutes. After finding that the applicants could not be filled in one day, the speed was increased again, allowing two applicants to interview at the same time, and then adding three applicants.
Hurry up and hurry up, and it finally ends before Monday arrives.

During this period, Ma Wei only went to the toilet a few times, and even lunch and dinner were settled in the conference room.

Such a huge workload almost drained his body, but fortunately it was finally over.

"Nicholas."

After reading the interview record, Stuart asked: "Today, 35 people passed the interview directly, and the rest are to be determined. Manstein Potion Company needs hundreds of employees. It is not an option to continue like this. How about looking for His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" Help? Or tell my father to send some people to help us."

The place with the greatest shortage of manpower is the potions factory.

According to Ma Wei's plan, Manstein Potion Company will carry out trade cooperation such as purchase and sale of finished potion, processing of potion materials, and import and export.

For example, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate will provide them with a certain amount of finished potions and a large amount of raw materials for potions, while Manstein Potions Company needs to classify these potions and materials in detail, and finally according to customer needs, the potions, Materials are sold directly or made into potions.

Considering the possibility that some customers only want raw materials but not finished potions, a department must be set up in the factory to be responsible for the overall planning and management of potion materials.

These tasks require a lot of manpower. The potion factory alone needs at least 150 employees, and there are at least 50 more in terms of warehousing and freight.

Especially after the official launch of potion trade with various countries, it is necessary to establish branches in other kingdoms to carry out a series of businesses such as local purchases and sales.

In addition to these, the Manstein Potion Company also needs to set up its own maritime subsidiary to transport potions.

In short, this is a huge industrial chain, from the output of raw materials to processing, transportation, and sales, such complicated things need to be done by Manstein Potion Company in person.

In the early stage, the most important potion production factory was built first, and the quality of the potion produced could be ensured only after unified and detailed training.

"Quality is very important, Stuart." Ma Wei got up and walked around the meeting room, stretching his paralyzed limbs: "Any company, if there is a problem with the quality of its products, will definitely be blamed by consumers, especially those like us. Large companies that engage in high-end trade face customers from the upper classes such as churches and kings, and once quality problems arise, trade will be interrupted.”

"Yes."

Stuart nodded approvingly: "If they spend money, we have to improve the products. If the quality is not good, they will naturally refuse to continue to cooperate."

"When does the bidding start?"

"February 2." Stuart calculated the time: "There is still nearly a month left."

"One month."

Ma Weisi said: "It's not long, it's not short. When the listing ends tomorrow and the funds are collected, a suitable production line will be established. It will take at least half a month to train employees, plus other trivial matters. Time It's urgent."

At the bidding meeting, the Manstein Potion Company will definitely offer the product produced by the company, that is, the finished potion.

The Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate has to choose not only a company with strong sales capabilities, but also whether its ability to make potions can meet their requirements.

In the era of the industrial revolution, industrialization, institutionalization, and standardization are the most basic conditions.

Relying on manpower, it is impossible to maintain a large company that trades between countries.

"Let's get here first today."

Ma Wei put away the notepad on the table and planned to go home and read the interview records slowly. Stuart, who had been sitting all day, was already tired. Hearing the end of the meeting, he left the company with his fiancée Abigail, and Ma Wei walked out of the conference room , let the security personnel brought by Stuart downstairs watch the door, and went straight to the Solway Hotel across the street.

"Brother, are you done?"

In the corner of the hall by the window, Levin saw Ma Wei coming, and moved to the side to make room for him.

"almost."

At 10 o'clock in the evening, there were not many customers in the Suowei Hotel. If it wasn't for waiting for Mavi, it would have closed down a long time ago.

After sitting down, Ma Wei said in Frederick's language: "Jacob and the others have successfully sneaked into London. The changes have been quite large. It seems that they are doing well, and it is all on this record sheet."

Daniel picked up the interview record and glanced at it, and asked a question: "Although Mr. Jacob and the others are here, there are only a dozen of them, and the potion factory needs more than a hundred employees. Even if they are all recruited, it is still not enough The number of people. The factory is such an important place, what should I do if other spies sneak in?"

"For an ordinary production line, it is enough to arrange one of our own people to be the foreman manager. What is really important is the advanced potion processing department. For advanced potions like Mercury's Blood, an independent production line must be set up. This production line must be arranged by ourselves. people to make sure the recipe doesn’t get leaked.”

Ma Wei picked up a cold pizza and said: "As for the storage of goods and the storage of finished potions, it's not that important whether you have your own people or not, just send someone to keep an eye on them."

"Right now we still don't have enough manpower. Fortunately, there is still one month until the official bidding begins. Before that, let Dino send members of the Aurora Club to London. When the Aurora Club arrives, we won't have to worry about manpower. .”

"Ordinary members of the Aurora Society can travel by sea. The investigation methods of the demon hunters have no effect on humans, but..."

Daniel glanced at Edward, "The Aurora Society has recruited a lot of Blood Race and Snake Human Race members, and they cannot pass the inspection of the Demon Hunter."

"It's simple, I plan to use the route of the funeral train." Mavi took a bite of pizza and drank some black tea: "Ordinary members of the Aurora Society will enter London through the port with the freighter transporting potion by sea. , People with special identities like the blood race and the snake race used the funeral train to sneak into London quietly, anyway, the East End of London is so chaotic, it is impossible to find out if there are more people or less people."

The East End of London has always been known for its chaos. In fact, the most chaotic thing is not the law and order, but the population.

The chaos of the population has caused the chaos of law and order.

The government of the Kingdom of Windsor did not carry out a large-scale census. There are many black households in London. They have no identity. Difficult to rectify.

After all, the police system has only been established for more than ten years, and the previous local management has just been abolished. Now it is a chaotic moment for the handover of the old and new systems, and it will not return to normal in the short term.

The chaotic order gave the Church of Truth an opportunity. Ma Wei understood the importance of the census. After he formally ascended the throne, the first Pope's encyclical he issued was to conduct a comprehensive census. Every place must be censused. Clear the permanent resident population and register the identity information, if this cannot be done.
And how to conduct all-round elections?
"Tiffany will be back in a few days, when the time comes." Ma Wei poured himself another cup of hot tea, and suddenly changed the subject: "Levin, Miss Helena, haven't you been looking for you lately?"

"She originally invited me to go out for an outing today, but my eldest brother is going to hold a job fair today, so I didn't go." Levin took a sip of Bai Lan and said, "I can't delay my business because of my son and daughter's love!"

You were out fooling around all day today, and you just stayed in the conference room for half an hour, so I'm ashamed to talk about business
Levin, Junia, and Daniel came to the company at noon. They sat in the conference room for a while, feeling bored, slipped out of the conference room under the pretext of having lunch, and never came back.

Whether they were present or not didn't have much impact on the job fair, but Levine's excuse that he refused to date because of business matters made Ma Wei roll his eyes and dismiss him.

If you touch fish, you touch fish, as if you are very tired!
The waiter in the restaurant brought the freshly prepared meals. The owner of Solway Hotel, Kidos, who belonged to the second prince, came with a wine glass and exchanged a few words with Ma Wei.

After Kidos left, Ma Wei talked about another serious matter:
"You have obtained the information list of the demon hunter, have you found the target yet?"

Speaking of the witcher, Levin finally got serious, sat up straight, and said in a low voice, "After discussing with Daniel, I picked a low-level witcher named Leon Angel."

"This afternoon, while you were interviewing, big brother, we went to Lyon's home according to the address on the information, and found that he has only one younger sister, and his parents are not in London. He lives in a small apartment in South London, and belongs to the Demon Hunter. People's 17th Squad, usually in charge of train inspection at Waterloo Station."

"It just so happens that the funeral train leaves at Waterloo Station. If I replace Leon Ingres, I can help in an emergency. What do you think, brother?"

It turns out that you didn't touch the fish. You are really busy with business.
Mavi licked his lips, wiped off the cream stains at the corners of Junia's mouth with a handkerchief, and said softly, "From the perspective of identity, Leon Angel meets the requirements, but he has a younger sister. You won't be one."

"No! Don't talk nonsense! Am I that kind of person!"

As if he had been greatly insulted, Levin's neck was red with anxiety: "Brother, I'm scared now! I haven't solved the problems of Tiffany, Gina, and Helena. I don't want to provoke other people." woman!"

"Ahem." Daniel reminded in time: "Brother, Leon Angel's younger sister is only 14 years old this year, and she is studying in a school run by the church. Felix should not be so dirty."

"That's right! Brother, don't you know me yet? I like older ones!" Levin spoke out of his sexuality confidently.

like older
Reminiscent of Levin once touching the queen's boudoir, Ma Wei looked solemn and thought to himself:

You boy, the taste is so fucking strong.
Levine's strong taste is now a good thing.

At least Mavie was sure that Levin had nothing wrong with Leon Angle's 14-year-old sister.

but
"Leon Angel has a family, and he goes home every day, so how can you go to a dinner party for the upper class? This conflicts with our original plan!"

"We have also investigated this matter." Levin said: "Leon Angel's team often performs night patrol missions in South London, sometimes they don't go home, and they go back the next morning. And his sister has to go to class early the next morning, so the time is staggered."

"Even so, you have to go home often."

It is impossible for Mavi to let Levin waste all his time on the demon hunter. Joining the demon hunter is not in his plan. It is Levin's own decision. After the establishment of his company, he needs Levin's assistance. Where? To make him go back and forth with Leon Angle's sister all day long?

"When something happens, Gina can replace me and pretend to be Leon Angel." Levine said.

"Can she do it?"

Mavi believed in Levin because Levin had deceived him and Holmes by pretending to be Inspector McMillan before. Although the disguise was still seen through in the end, Levin's disguise was still recognized by them. , she did not show the ability to disguise.

"Brother, Gina is a student I taught anyway, and I have taught her how to disguise." Levin patted his chest and assured: "She's fine!"

Levin has never taken care of things that he is not sure about. He must have his own reasons for being so sure. Ma Wei agreed to his proposal without saying anything more.

After dinner, he took the carriage back to Flower Street. After washing up, Ma Wei was about to continue telling Junia the story of the pirates when he heard a slight knock on the door downstairs. After he went downstairs and opened the door, he found that it was Woolf, owner of the Dirty Duck Tavern.

"Mr. Woolf, it's so late, what's the matter?"

The Dirty Duck Tavern is brightly lit with warm fire lights, and the night is a good time for carnival. The business of the Dirty Duck Tavern is very good. Guests are holding wooden wine glasses and colliding, and the sound of the accordion can be vaguely heard. At such a busy moment, Woolf should be greeting customers in the shop, how could he knock on the door?
"Mr. Manstein, a guest just now asked me to give you this package."

Woolf was holding a square package the size of a human head in his arms, which was tied round and round with hemp rope. It looked like a ball of wool, and he didn't know what was inside.

"Which guest gave it to you?"

"A very mysterious customer wearing a hat." Woolf recalled: "It's a bit strange to say, he asked for a glass of malt beer as soon as he entered the store, and sat in the corner from 9:11 p.m. to 1:[-] p.m. , when I just left, let me hand over this package to you, and also gave me a tip of [-] gold, which I am very willing to pay."

The demon wooden box in his arms did not warn, proving that the contents of the package should not be extraordinary items. Ma Wei took the package and found that the package was heavy, probably weighing more than ten pounds.

"Mr. Manstein." Woolf glanced around, leaned in front of Ma Wei, and whispered: "Although he gave me a gold pound, I still want to remind you that the guest doesn't look like Good man, it's better to be more careful in everything, why not go to Father Michelle of Whitechapel, there will be no problem with him!"

Looking for help from the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny?

What a joke.
No matter what is in the package, it is impossible for Ma Wei to open it in front of Father Michelle. He can solve the problems that Father Michelle can solve, so why bother?

"Thank you for reminding me, I will consider it."

After finishing speaking, Ma Wei walked into the house with the package in his arms, closed the door, and heard the movement, Levin came down from upstairs, looked at the package and said, "What is it?"

".do not know."

Ma Wei put the package on the counter, thought for a while, and found Edward to open it.

Strigoi are extremely difficult to kill, and the first-generation Strigoi like Edward are even more attached to immortality. Even the Black Sun cannot kill it, let alone a small package?
Let it come out of the box, the safest.

With a slight pick of Edward's fingers, the hemp ropes that bound the package were broken one by one, and the outermost layer of oilcloth was lifted. Inside was a small wooden box with a lock on it. After prying the lock,
In the box, there are actually a bunch of large-value general tickets!

Seeing the money, Ma Wei immediately understood that this package was sent by Arthur!
The money he raised from the Knights of the Round Table needed to be handed over to Mavi, but he couldn't give it face to face, so he used Woolf as an intermediary!
In addition to the 100-gold denomination general-purpose coupon, there was also a large deposit certificate worth 170 million gold pounds, which should be all of Gawain's deposits. At the bottom of the box, Mavi also found a few gold bricks.

"It's a universal ticket and a gold brick." Levin swallowed: "The fourth prince has brought the safe here!"

"That should be all the money he can raise."

Mavi dumped all the contents of the box on the counter, counted them one by one, not counting a few gold bricks, Arthur raised 300 million gold pounds for him, which is not a small sum, especially for West Island For the unpopular nobles, this money is probably all their belongings.

"Arthur has high hopes for us."

Feeling emotional, Ma Wei put away the general coupons and weighed a few gold bricks with a dignified expression.

The 300 million gold pounds sent by Arthur, plus the 770 million gold pounds previously raised by the second prince, minus the 150 million gold pounds lent to the eldest prince, Ma Wei already has a huge sum of 920 million gold pounds .

The current him, saying that he is the richest businessman in London, is not an exaggeration at all!
Being able to raise so much money also means that all investors feel that Manstein Potions Company can bring them a return that is greater than 920 million gold pounds!

"Tomorrow is Monday."

Mavi glanced at the time:
"There are still 9 hours before the London Stock Exchange will open. We must not disappoint Arthur's expectations. The money must be used to its maximum effect!"
