Father Mavie

Chapter 562 Eton College (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
The stock price stabilized at 2 gold pounds and 14 shillings. This was the result of Ma Wei's repurchase of the stock. The price picked up, and the stockholders began to buy the bottom one after another. The stock price barely broke through 3 gold pounds and remained at around 3 gold pounds and 1 shilling.

At this price, Ma Wei is already very satisfied. The fact that the stock price broke through 3 gold pounds on the first day of listing is enough to prove the strong capital behind Manstein Potions Company, while Bracken Potions Company and Edie Potions Co. Company, their share prices are not far off, standing at about 2 gold pounds 18 shillings.

The second prince and others are not satisfied with the stock price of 3 gold pounds. They have experienced the peak of 5 gold pounds, so how can they be excited about the trough of 3 gold pounds?

More importantly.
They are harvested.

The eldest prince, the third prince and others who bought a large number of stocks sold the stocks at a high price of 5 gold pounds, and made a small profit while withdrawing funds. Sell ​​at the freezing point of the stock to prevent further losses.

After the market closed, the second prince got into the carriage with a dark face, and quickly left Kings Street, while Ma Wei took Junia to the back door of the stock exchange, where he met Levin.

"Big brother."

Compared with the high spirits at noon, Levin at this moment is obviously much weaker, as if he has done something wrong.

"How many shares did you buy?"

"About 10%." Levin whispered, "It cost 450 million gold pounds."

10%
Ma Wei calculated in his mind, plus the 5% of the shares he repurchased before the market closed, they already owned 46% of the shares of Manstein Potion Company, which was only 51% away from 5%, and the rest was down. Don't worry, there will always be shareholders who can't sit still and sell stocks, and it will be fine to repurchase them at that time.

"Brother, how much cash do we have left?"

"Counting the funds from the sale of stocks, there are almost 1200 million gold pounds left."

"1100 million?!"

On the carriage, Levin was stunned for a moment: "I spent 450 million gold pounds, and brother, you spent another 300 million gold pounds before the market closed. How could the cash increase instead of decrease?"

"Because the 450 million gold pounds you spent, after deducting the service fee of the exchange, flowed into the account of the Manstein Potion Company."

Ma Wei looked at the sunset that was gradually falling from the sky, smiled and said: "You don't think the company is really losing money, do you? Even if the stock price is only 2 gold pounds, we sold 600 million shares today, and the raised funds will not be less than 1200 million Gold pounds, if it wasn’t for the purchase of equity, the cash in our hands should be able to break through the 2000 million pound mark.”

Levin said with some doubts: "We made money, the prince and the others also made money, who lost money?"

"Retail investors have lost some, the second prince who bought stocks at a high position lost some, and the eldest prince and the third prince have a high probability of holding a certain share of stocks in their hands. It is from these people that money flows into our pockets. "Ma Wei said: "The stock market is like this. It seems to be losing money, but in fact it is just making less money."

"After we go back, if we return the 300 million that Arthur raised for us, Manstein Potions will still have 900 million gold pounds left, plus 15% of the shares repurchased. According to the stock price of 3 gold pounds, this 15% Equity, worth 900 million gold pounds."

Ma Wei said quietly: "It's enough for now."

"Father, the bidding will start in a month's time. At that time, we will need to prove our funds. We only have 900 million pounds in cash. I'm afraid we won't be the opponents of the first and third princes!" Junia asked.

"Well." Ma Wei nodded: "Only 900 million gold pounds is definitely not enough, so we must establish a complete potion production line before the bidding starts, produce high-level potions like Mercury's Blood, and sell them to Destiny III Goddess Church, earn money."

Mercury's blood has a strong restraining effect on supernatural creatures. For demon hunters who want to capture live supernatural creatures to earn extra money, quicksilver's blood is definitely the most sought-after potion. They spend a lot of money to buy quicksilver's blood. Live extraordinary creatures can be caught and sold to wealthy nobles at a high price, and everyone is happy.

Ma Wei, who has seen this point, knows how much the Church of the Three Fates needs Mercury's Blood, so he needs to build a factory as soon as possible and import raw materials from the Kingdom of Romanov.
In the evening, Ma Wei and the others returned home. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a strange woman standing in the store, with blond hair and blue eyes, who looked like a pure German.

"Tiffany! You're back!"

Seeing the woman, Levin's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward: "There is no danger on the road, right?"

"No." Tiffany shook her head. After the disguise, her appearance has become a standard Germanic nationality, and even her voice has undergone a subtle change. Levine can only maintain the disguise three days, but if Junia uses Siren's Tears.
It can extend the disguise time to half a month, or even longer.

Tiffany came back at just the right time. The Manstein Potion Company had just been established and needed someone to take care of it, especially the head office. It was impossible for Mavi to go to Kings Street every day. He had other trivial matters. Now Tiffany is back Now, the affairs of the head office can be handed over to her, and Ma Wei can also go to work on the factory affairs with peace of mind.

"Director, before returning, I went to the Sunshine Circus, I heard."

Tiffany looked at Levin, her eyes were calm and indifferent, without a trace of ripples: "Did you let Gina join the Potions Company?"

"Ah" Levin said bravely, "That's right, Gina said she wanted to help, so I told my elder brother her request, and my elder brother felt that now is the time when there is a shortage of people, one more person is more strength, the truth The church has always stood for unity, hasn't it? So... right bro?"

"."

Well, Mavi knew that Levine was going to pull himself out as a shield. Although Levin's words sounded awkward, but if he only pursued the process, he was right. He agreed with Gina to join the Manstein Potion Company. It is indeed myself.

"I got Gina to join the Manstein Potions Company, Tiffany."

"Okay, I get it now."

Tiffany did not continue to ask, but raised the question about the residence: "Manstein Potion Company has two areas, the headquarters and the factory, and the dormitories provided for employees are in the Havering District. What about the employees of the headquarters? Woolen cloth?"

"You are responsible for this matter. You are the chief financial officer."

Ma Wei really didn't want to worry about this aspect anymore. He didn't need to do these trivial things by himself at all, and it was precisely these small things that bothered people the most, so he simply left them to Tiffany and avoided them if he could.

Tiffany heard about Ma Wei's character from Levin, and took over the responsibility. She, the chief financial officer, was not ordinary at all. With Ma Wei, the boss, she was destined to exercise the same power as the chairman.

No way, Mavi authorized it.

That night, Tiffany stayed at the grocery store, sorted out the existing financial account sheet, officially took over Ma Wei's previous work, and tidied up the grocery store's account books by the way.

While Tiffany was sorting out the accounts, Daniel was worrying in his room. Tomorrow was the start of Eton College, and the school had already delivered the school uniform. Not only that, but he was also required to stay overnight at the school, and he could only go home every weekend.
Daniel doesn't know what it's like to go to school. The education he received in the Frederick Kingdom was all one-on-one elite tutoring. The teachers who taught him were all well-known nobles. The only "classmates" were his two younger sisters. up.

On the other hand, at Eton College, I heard that many people attend classes in the same classroom and receive guidance from the same teacher. Daniel doesn’t like and has never experienced such a thing that restricts personal freedom.

"Remember to bring a few extra clothes for changing. I haven't been to Eton College yet. I don't know if there is a place to spend money there. Just in case, you bring 500 gold pounds and buy what you need."

In the room, Mavi looked at Daniel in his school uniform, comforted him, and even helped him pack his suitcase.

Eton College is an aristocratic school and the leader of elite education in the Kingdom of Windsor. The annual tuition fees are expensive, and the treatment for students goes without saying. There are single dormitories, and each dormitory is also equipped with a servant room. Students are allowed to bring a housekeeper and two Maid takes care of daily life
In Ma Wei's view, this is a terrible extravagance!
"Do you need a housekeeper?" Ma Wei asked, "If you need a housekeeper, I'll hire one for you to help you with some chores. Don't even think about maids. What do you need maids for in school?"

"I don't want a housekeeper."

Daniel, who has long since gotten rid of his aristocratic habits, no longer needs others to help him take care of his life. During the year he lived with Ma Wei, he basically solved all the problems in life by himself, including laundry and cleaning. Daniel also started from the very beginning. A crown prince has become more down-to-earth, and his thinking mode has undergone subtle changes, and he understands the thoughts of ordinary people better.

"But brother, Jonas is a member of the Manstein family after all. We have made so much money, shouldn't we be extravagant?" Levin said, "I mean, in the eyes of other nobles, we should live Live a life of luxury!"

"Aristocrats who spend a lot of money are called aristocrats, and those who know how to be frugal and hardworking are downcast aristocrats who have struggled from the bottom." Ma Wei said: "The Manstein family used to be impoverished, but it was only in our generation that they rose again and worked hard from the bottom How could we who came up be as extravagant and promiscuous as those nobles?"

"But many people become extravagant when they have money!"

“It was a case of getting rich overnight.”

Ma Wei folded a white shirt, put it in the suitcase, and said in a slow tone: "The three Manstein brothers have experienced hardships, and their ability to live independently is far superior to that of noble children. However, according to Jonas' personality, His style of acting should be more arrogant, so I proposed to hire a housekeeper for him."

"I don't want a butler."

In front of the full-length mirror, Daniel looked at himself in the mirror and said, "But if you think hiring a housekeeper is more in line with my personality, brother, then just hire one."

"You don't need to go outside to ask for it, there are ready-made ones at home."

"Ready-made?" Levin thought for a while and said, "Yannick?"

"It's not it, it is"

Ma Wei walked out of the room, and after a while, he came back with a living statue, twisted the clockwork, and the statue soon turned into a vampire that looked exactly like Edward.

"it."

"The living statue is the housekeeper?" Levin asked in surprise, "Can it work?"

"It can speak the language of the Kingdom of Windsor, and its strength is fine. As for its identity," Ma Wei said blankly, "I don't think anyone will investigate the origin of a housekeeper. Even if there is, let's write a letter to King William V." Isn't it solved?"

William V, who helped Ma Wei to forge the identity of the Manstein family, found an unsuspecting butler. It is too easy to take a step back. Even if you don’t need a living statue, go to a special butler agency to hire a butler It's also okay!
It's nothing more than spending more money.

In the Kingdom of Windsor where butlers are prevalent, how many butlers do you need?

The key is whether Daniel wants a housekeeper or not.

"Brother, you can arrange it." Daniel said, "I can do it."

"In this case."

Ma Wei thought about it carefully, and felt that there was no need to save money on this kind of thing. The money should be spent wisely. It is better to go to the Butler Association and hire a serious butler for Daniel. The identity of the housekeeper is worried.

Early the next morning, Ma Wei took Daniel to the Butler Association in person and hired a middle-aged butler named Melvin. The trial period was one month, and he became a full-time member when there were no problems. The weekly salary was 10 gold pounds.

Melvin is a butler who has received formal training. He has served many noble and gentry families. Usually, when nobles hold a large banquet, they will encounter the problem of insufficient manpower, and they need to hire additional servants and butlers from outside , at this time Melvin and others came in handy.

This kind of classical butler service has been going on for a long time, and Melvin, who was randomly selected, cannot be the eyeliner of the first prince and the second prince.

After looking for a good housekeeper, Ma Wei and the others took a carriage to the small town of Windsor, 20 kilometers away from London. There is not only Eton College, but also the famous Windsor Castle. Every weekend, Rhodes IV will bring four A prince came here for a family reunion.

The carriage slowly drove into the campus, and Daniel had already put on the dark blue tuxedo school uniform with the double-headed eagle emblem engraved on the chest and a blue scarf. He was a fourth-grade student. The ties and bow ties of each grade were different in color, but the school uniform The format is exactly the same.

On the first day of school, expensive carriages can be seen everywhere on the campus. They are all sent by parents to send their children to school. It is an honor to be able to attend Eton College. When children come to school, they may be able to meet other nobles and broaden their contacts, which is beneficial and harmless.

The carriage stopped, and the butler Melvin just hired jumped out of the carriage, opened the door for Ma Wei and the others, took off the large suitcase on the roof, followed respectfully, and walked towards the auditorium.

On the first day of school, the opening ceremony will be held. The bishop in residence and the principal will also wait on the stage to give speeches, symbolizing the beginning of the new school year. He stopped in his tracks, grabbed Ma Wei and said, "Brother, isn't that the student you taught before?"

"student?"

Following the direction Levin pointed, Ma Wei turned his head and saw a brown-haired girl in a dark blue school uniform walking by in the crowd. Behind her was a middle-aged man who was not angry.
Toure Crowley!
His eyes stayed on Toure's face for a moment, and Ma Wei looked at the little girl in school uniform again. When he saw her face clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and showed a slight smile on his face:
"Sarah. It seems that she is doing well at Crowley's house. Let's go and say hello."
