Father Mavie

Chapter 591 The Angel couple (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
During the conversation with Captain Yuri, Mavi learned that the cargo ship Irina will stay in the port of London for 3 days to rest. Life on board is boring. Almost every ship that has experienced ocean voyages will Stay for a few days, and the Irina is no exception.

Three days was not too much, enough to meet Mavi's needs. After noting down the pier where the Irina was docked, he returned to Haverlin with the first batch of goods.

With sufficient raw materials, the potion factory immediately began to work overtime to produce potions. After a night of thinking, Mavi finally decided to set the price of the Hercules stick at 4 shillings after the discount period.

The price of 4 shillings is still high, which is a huge sum that ordinary workers cannot afford. In order to solve this problem, Ma Wei found the second prince Shukri and proposed to him the idea of ​​​​uniting banks and insurance companies to start small loans.

"Open up microloans to ordinary workers. Hmm."

The second prince, who was smoking a cigar, didn't expect Ma Wei to suddenly talk to him about this matter. He couldn't make up his mind for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Nicholas, you understand the operation mode of banks. Banks generally don't open 4 shillings. For small loans, the interest rate is too low, which is not proportional to the risk, and the second is that the loan requires low-potassium commodities. Can ordinary workers take out collateral items worth 4 shillings? Obviously not.”

Ma Wei said quickly: "Your Highness, this is your achievement."

"Achievements?"

"Yes."

On the way here, Ma Wei had already thought up his rhetoric: "Heracles' stick will definitely set off a potion craze in London. If we can unite with the bank to provide loans for ordinary laborers, first of all Manstein Potions Company can Secondly, the stock price of Manstein Potion Company will also rise, which is very beneficial to our next bidding."

"Third, and most importantly, if your highness can promote this small loan business and solve the difficulties of ordinary workers, it will definitely revitalize the increasingly depressed labor market. Once the market revitalizes, the economy will naturally rise, and the economy will rise. Your highness, your prestige in the eyes of the people has also increased, and the approval rate will naturally be high, and the king is also very satisfied, isn't this a political achievement?"

"As for the bank. To be honest, what the workers need is a small loan business of 4 shillings. As long as the workers can prove their income, there is no problem in providing small loans. In the whole of London, there are 30 shillings for ordinary workers. Thousands of people! The banks that provide them with loans will also usher in a wave of savings.”

The second prince asked curiously: "How could there be a savings boom? Isn't this a small loan?"

"The bank lends money to the laborers, and the laborers use the money to buy the products of the Manstein Potion Company. When they make money, they can not only repay the loan, but also have a surplus. As long as there is enough surplus funds, they will be deposited in the bank. Is it?" Ma Wei earnestly said: "The depositors deposit their money in the bank, the bank has funds, continues to lend, and then gains more funds, thus forming a virtuous circle."

The second prince's eyes lit up, and he fully understood what Ma Wei meant.

Based on his connections, there is no problem contacting the heads of the Thames Bank, the Central Bank of London, and the Royal Bank. The heads of several banks are members of his camp, especially the boss of the Thames Bank. Your honor, everyone can cooperate
"Banks are not for the meager interest they get from loans, but to attract more depositors to deposit in the bank and get a lot of liquid funds!"

The second prince slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "As long as there is enough liquidity, will the bank still have no money to make?"

"Nicholas, your proposal is good. I will contact the boss of Thames Bank and formally present your idea with him. I also have someone from the insurance company."

Seeing that the second prince agreed, Ma Wei breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "I will trouble you, Your Highness, for contacting banks, insurance companies, and trust companies. I have to go to the company and send the list."

"it is good."

Pulling up Junia, Mavi rushed to the head office on Kings Avenue non-stop, and met Freya, the financial director, who was busy making company reports. The new company had a lot of things to do, and she couldn't be busy at all.

Gina was also in the accounting room. When she saw Ma Wei coming, she poured a cup of hot tea herself: "Mr. Nicholas, where did Felix go?"

"He has something important to do today."

Ma Wei handed the list to Freya, and added by the way: "It's not dating Helena, it's really something."

"Dating is nothing." Gina said with a smile, her eyes slightly bent, "It's also his job, right?"

"Of course, who else can win Miss Helena's heart except him?"

After Ma Wei drank the hot tea, he didn't waste any more time. Although the head office has recruited a lot of employees, with Freya and Gina here, he doesn't need to worry too much. After delivering the list of goods, he still has one very important thing. important things.

Towards evening, a carriage crossed the Thames River, drove across the street, and entered the Merton area of ​​South London. The driver pulled the rein deftly, avoiding pedestrians on the street, and came to a residential area.

"keep the change."

Two silver shillings popped out, and Mavie got out of the car with Junia in his arms. He put on a black overcoat, white gloves, and lowered the brim of his hat, and walked into Pawar Street with the words of thanks from the coachman. This is Merton The main residential area of ​​the district, with apartments on both sides, the streets are paved with red stone bricks, much cleaner than East London.

East London is a representative of dirty and messy, while West London, where the nobles live, mostly lives in South London and North London, and most of them live in ordinary residents who are engaged in more advanced jobs than labor such as traders, handicrafts, and wine making.

Paval Street is the most luxurious residential area in the Merton district of South London, with the district government on the north and Merton Park, the business district and the grocery market on the east.
The rent of an apartment on Pawar Street is as high as 10 shillings per week. When introducing it, the landlord is always full of praise, advertising that the house here is the first choice for elites. Experience the life of the upper class, and you can see the Thames when the weather is good.
Mavi doesn’t know if it’s false propaganda, he only knows that the rent here is really not cheap, people who have the money to rent apartments on Pawar Street are either foreign students, so-called elites, or government clerks
The target chosen by Levine, the demon hunter Leon Angel, rented at No. 33 Pawar Street.

No. 33 Pawar Street is a small apartment, sandwiched between two houses, it looks a little narrow, like moss growing in the crevices of stones, I don’t know what the taste of the landlord is, there are a bunch of flowers and plants growing on the balcony, Some branches and leaves have already stretched out the guardrail.

Downstairs of Apartment No. 33, there is a coffee shop. The owner is a Sardinian. The signature chocolate croissants are made every morning and afternoon. The sweet and greasy aroma wafts through the street. Beside the seat, Levin was leisurely reading a newspaper with a cup of coffee.

"cough"

The sound of coughing attracted Levin's attention. He put down the newspaper, saw Mavi and Junia sitting across the table, was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Brother, why are you here?"

"You haven't come back for a long time. I'm worried that something might happen. Come and see the situation." Ma Wei raised his hand to beckon the waiter: "A cup of hot milk, a cup of espresso, and five chocolate croissants, just out of the oven."

"Ok sir."

The waitress wrote down the bill, turned her head and walked into the store, and after a while, she came out with milk, coffee, croissant and complimentary crispy potato chips.

The croissant is of course for Junia, including the milk. Only a small sip of espresso is Mavie’s favorite. He drank the bitter coffee in one gulp, and then picked up a piece of crispy potato chips that came with it and threw it in. In his mouth, he asked about the business: "Is he at home?"

"not at home."

Levin shook his head, moved a chair and sat next to Ma Wei, so that he could talk in a low voice: "I've been staring at him all day, and Leon Angel hasn't come home, but his sister has just returned from shopping at the market after school. , it looks like they are going to prepare dinner."

"Dinner for how many people?"

"The portion is quite large. I saw my sister bought a large piece of beef, at least 3 pounds, and a basket full of bread, tomatoes, carrots and other vegetables. When I walked by, I could smell curry. .”

"3 pounds of beef. It should be a serving for 4-5 people. What day is it today?"

"Friday, February 2."

"Friday." Ma Wei pondered: "It should be a guest at home."

The elites of the Kingdom of Windsor have a habit of preparing a sumptuous meal on Monday, buying a large amount of beef and mutton enough for a week, roasting it on Monday, cooking the broth on the second day, and making stuffing on the third day Pie, boiled into curry on the fourth day.
If there are no special circumstances, they rarely buy a lot of meat on Friday.

Ma Wei speculated that there would be guests at Leon Angel's house tonight, so my sister bought a bunch of ingredients and went home to prepare.

"Didn't Leon Unger have no relatives in London?" Ma Wei asked, "Wrong information?"

"It's all written in the information. The information collected by the demon hunter shouldn't be a problem." Levin was also a little depressed. If Leon Angel's house had guests tonight, his action would be postponed. .

Fortunately, the Irina will stay in the port for 3 days, and before departure, Levin has a chance to do it.

"Captain Yuri told me that the members of the Aurora Society he brought had disembarked before entering the port, and hid in advance near the town of Brookwood to wait for news."

Ma Wei said: "I plan to let them use the funeral train to sneak into London. Before getting on the train, you need to disguise them and make them look like Windsor people."

During the year since the establishment of the Aurora Society, Ma Wei has been secretly training them, followed the freighter and sneaked into the first batch of members of the Windsor Kingdom. After Dino's assessment, they can already speak fluent and authentic Windsor. As long as there is no problem with their appearance, Usually not revealed.

Regarding their whereabouts, Ma Wei had already thought about their whereabouts. Some were arranged to enter the potion factory, some were arranged to serve as security personnel in the head office, and the rest were broken up into pieces, sneaked into various industries, and settled in London.

Between each other, only through the cat and cat legion to carry out secret contact.

With the support of the Aurora Society, Ma Wei and the others are no longer fighting alone, and there is no need to do many things by themselves. They just need to give an order, and someone will naturally solve it.

"Big brother, you can do it!" Levin said nonchalantly, "You have the time to look for me, and you have already done it!"

"Your head is flooded, right? The Siren's Tears are in your hands. You have to disguise yourself as Leon Angel and take him to the Romanov Kingdom on a boat. You don't have enough time here. I'm free." Going to the town of Brookwood? Host a welcome ceremony for them?"

"It's not impossible to hold a welcome ceremony, anyway, they are all our own people"

Levin scratched his head and reached out to pick up a croissant on the table. He sat in the coffee shop all day and drank several cups of coffee, but he was still hungry.

"It tastes really good, a lot of chocolate."

Just when Levin took a bite of the bread and watched the rich chocolate sauce flow out, suddenly, a carriage stopped at the building of No. 33 Apartment, and a man and a woman got out of the carriage with their suitcases, dressed like farmers in a farm , with wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, and loose skin, let alone about four or five years old, judging from the distance of movement, they should be a couple.

The couple walked to the door of the apartment and rang the bell above the door. Soon, footsteps were heard behind the door, and the next second the door opened, and a 14-year-old girl with red hair and braids rushed out. , into the arms of the couple: "Father! Mother!"

"Charlie, you've grown taller again."

The kindly-eyed couple hugged the little girl, looking very happy, but Levin widened his eyes and murmured, "It's broken! Leon Angel's parents are here!"

With his parents present, Levine's disguise is prone to flaws. It is not easy to deal with a younger sister. This time, there are two more elderly people, and the difficulty of disguise has skyrocketed.
"Don't panic, they don't have a lot of luggage, so they should be staying for a short time." Ma Wei observed the Angels and his wife until they walked into the apartment, then looked back and snapped his fingers at the driver who was counting coins.

"gentlemen!"

Picking up the coins, the coachman ran over quickly: "Do you want to take a car?"

"I don't take a car, just ask you a few questions, answer well, the money is yours."

Under the shocked gaze of the coachman, a gold pound coin was slowly placed on the table. Ma Wei invited the coachman to sit down and asked, "Do you know this couple?"

"I don't know" the coachman lowered his head in frustration, he felt that he had no chance with this gold pound.

"Do you know where they come from?"

"I know that!" the coachman cheered up. "They're from Birmingham! I can hear their accents!"

"Very well, then do you know what they come to London for?"

"It seems to be attending a friend's funeral," the coachman recalled. "I don't think they are dressed like Londoners. I asked a special question. It seems that an old friend passed away. They rushed to London to visit their son by the way."

"funeral."

Mavi narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly:
"Okay, you can take the money and go."
