Father Mavie

Chapter 623 Olympic (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
After confirming the cooperation, the eldest prince immediately decided to send the butler Nix and the Marquis of Bracken to Edinburgh to contact the Benjamin family and the nobles in the northern part of the kingdom.

For such an important cooperation, Russell Benjamin would of course also accompany him. Mavi seemed a little hesitant about the request of the eldest prince. The eldest prince thought he was worried about the Metropolitan Subway's bidding, and immediately said:
"Benjamin, you don't have to worry about bidding. Now the second phase of bidding has just started. The bidding will last for a month. You just need to submit the documents before then. There is still plenty of time. You can definitely draw up the bidding documents while you are home." , and take it back to London."

Drafting the bidding documents was not difficult for Benjamin Construction Company. The Benjamin family had participated in many biddings and was very familiar with this aspect, but Ma Wei was not thinking about these things.

"Your Highness, besides the North, you also plan to open up the West Island market, right?"

The eldest prince nodded and said: "That's right, although the West Island is not as prosperous as the East Island, it is also a big help. This time I am going to Edinburgh. I really plan to let the Marquess of Bracken and the nobles of Belfast contact the newly developed Benjamin Construction Company. West Island Railway, you must have met a lot of acquaintances, right?"

"I do know a lot of nobles from the West Isles, but..."

"Any questions?"

Ma Wei sighed: "To be honest, the West Island and the East Island have always been at odds. It's no secret. Although I know a few nobles from the West Island, I only know each other. I don't know everyone well. If Your Highness wants to open up the West Island market, It is recommended to seek help from someone who is familiar with the situation on the West Island."

Hearing these words, the eldest prince became hesitant. He didn't know the West Island, and he only heard about the situation there, and he had never done an on-the-spot investigation. As the top of the chain of discrimination, the London circle even looked down on the northern part of the kingdom, not to mention the later annexation What about West Island?

If even Russell Benjamin, who has been in business in the West Island for two years, can't introduce them
Who else is up to the task?

In silence, the Marquis of Bracken broke the deadlock: "Your Highness, someone is familiar with West Island!"

"Who?"

"Fourth Prince, Arthur!"

"Him?" The eldest prince was taken aback for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

For Arthur, the half-brother, the eldest prince has always been vigilant and dare not fully trust him.

But right now, there seems to be no better candidate. Arthur has been in the West Island for many years and has managed New Rose City to a prosperous future. It is impossible not to know the nobles.
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Mavi didn't say any more, got up and said goodbye to the eldest prince, followed the Marquis of Bracken to the bank, got back 150 million pounds in cash through the transaction, and then brought the cash to the fourth prince's villa.

After leaving Clarence Palace, there was no need for Junia to disguise herself as a blue cat, she returned to her original body, used the mud shadow magic to infiltrate the villa, saw Gulihana in the study, and learned that the fourth prince was not at home. Instead, he went to an orphanage in the East End.

The first thing Arthur did when he returned to London was to open an orphanage in the East End and adopted dozens of homeless orphans. Junia had some psychological shadows about the orphanage. Wearing the hem of Ma Wei's suit, he followed behind him every step of the way.

The managers of the orphanage are more than a dozen older nuns. There are no young people. The only male is the old man who is in charge of the night watch. He is invisible during the day and only gets up near dusk to inspect the orphanage.

"The fourth prince really has a special liking for orphanages." Edward who followed Ma Wei suddenly said: "When he was in New Ross City, he funded an orphanage, and he funded another one when he returned to London. This kind of person either Be kind, or be ambitious."

Will the sponsored orphans remember Arthur's act of kindness?
Ma Wei believes that it will. The orphanage funded by Arthur is slightly different from other orphanages. He cares about the orphanage very much and manages it very strictly. Visiting every two days, there will be no wanton bullying, beating and scolding of orphans. Orphans who have experienced homelessness grow up in this environment, how can they not remember Arthur's kindness?

Whether Arthur is trying to use these orphans for something, Mavi cannot give a conclusion, but the good deeds he has done cannot be ignored.

At least in the eyes of ordinary people, the fourth prince Arthur is the most down-to-earth prince and the wisest.

Using mud shadow magic to sneak into the orphanage, Ma Wei found Arthur in the backyard. At this moment, Arthur was discussing with a nun to cut down a few big trees in the yard to make room for a building. The boiler room, which supplies heat to the orphanage.

The winter in London is humid and cold, and the temperature in summer is only in the [-]s. It is no problem to wear a coat all year round. Every household has a coal stove, and the orphanage is no exception.

Building a boiler room is a big project. Just having a boiler room is not enough. If you want to bring heating to the orphanage, you need to install additional pipes, which is equivalent to overhauling the orphanage. This cannot be done in two days.

In addition to the fourth prince Arthur, Mavi also met Gao Wen who disguised himself as an ordinary person. Since borrowing the identity of Russell Benjamin, Gawain stayed with Arthur as a housekeeper.

After waiting patiently for a while, Arthur finally finished the conversation about the boiler room, returned to the house, and began to check the accounts of the orphanage for the past week. Taking this opportunity, Ma Wei released the magic of the mud shadow and appeared in front of him.

"Father?"

Arthur looked at Mavi, Junia and Edward who suddenly came out of the shadows, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I wanted to go to the villa to find you, but you were not at home. Gulihana told me you were here"

Ma Wei hugged Junia and sat on the chair opposite the desk, took the hot tea brought by Gao Wen, took a sip, took out a bank check from his arms, and put it on the table: "Your Highness, this is what you lent I deposited all my 300 million pounds in the Thames Bank and exchanged it for a large check, which can be withdrawn at any time."

Arthur picked up the check, glanced at it casually, and handed it to Gao Wen. Before he could speak, he saw Ma Wei take out a check: "This is 2 gold pounds, and it is used to pay for the few dollars you sent from Your Highness." Gold bricks, gold is too heavy, and I need it again, so I won’t give it to His Highness, but convert it into cash and give it to you.”

"Okay." Arthur nodded slowly: "You made a special trip, not just to pay back the money, right?"

Ma Wei smiled: "Of course, paying back the money is just incidental. I came this time to tell you something important. Just now, I went to meet the eldest prince as Russell Benjamin."

After talking about the meeting with the eldest prince and the proposal of the eldest prince, Arthur suddenly understood Mavi's intentions.

"You want Gawain to accompany the Marquess of Bracken to Edinburgh?"

"Yes, I'm not familiar with the situation in Edinburgh, not to mention that London is really hard to get away from. There are too many things, so we can only let the real master go out and deal with the Marquis of Bracken and the others."

"But Father, you promised Charles to expand northward, and even let Gawain help him, won't this affect the Manstein Potion Company?" Arthur was a little puzzled: "Once Charles controls the northern market, Bray will The Ken Potions Company has enough confidence to fight against the Manstein Potions Company!"

"Greed is not enough to swallow elephants, Your Highness, if the eldest prince wants the northern market, let him expand it, so why not give it all to him?" Ma Wei shook his head with a smile: "No matter how well the Bracken Potion Company develops, it can't be done. After all, it is a private enterprise, and the upper limit is not high. On the other hand, Manstein Potion Company has the church behind it. Any good materials will go through our hands as soon as possible. Bracken Potion Company can only pick up some soup and water. , nothing to worry about."

"The next development direction of the Manstein Potion Company is definitely not the north or the West Island, but the southeast!"

"Southeast." Arthur narrowed his eyes: "It turns out that Father, you have greater ambitions. You deliberately abandoned the northern market in order to occupy the foreign market. This is the real fat. Compared with foreign markets, the northern and western islands are indeed only It can be regarded as soup and water."

"With the church, the Manstein Potion Company has no shortage of potion materials. What we lack is the channel. Once the channel is opened, making money is as easy as drinking water. I have sent envoys from the United Church to other kingdoms to negotiate We'll hear back within a month," Mavie said.

With the current size of the Manstein Potion Company, it is unwise to compete with the Grand Prince in the northern market. In the case of insufficient manpower, an elite policy should be implemented to maximize the role of each employee instead of competing with the Grand Prince. Princes fight each other.

This is also an advantage that the Bracken Potion Company does not have. Doesn't the eldest prince not want to seize foreign markets?
He thought, he thought more than anyone else, but he was not the dealer appointed by Congress!

Only the Manstein Potion Company is qualified to cooperate with other churches!
The Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny is behind it as a guarantee!
Mavi will not do the stupid move of abandoning the international market and robbing the secondary market.

As long as they can sign orders with other churches, they can cost hundreds or tens of millions of pounds. Isn't this more profitable than the northern market?

"The Eldest Prince, I will leave it to Your Highness to deal with it." Ma Wei said: "The Eldest Prince wants to occupy the West Island market, and needs your Highness's help. As long as the cooperation is successfully reached, Your Highness's position in the Eldest Prince's camp will be determined." In short, this is an excellent opportunity to show his loyalty, the eldest prince has always been wary of you, Your Highness, and whether you can make him let go of his guard depends on what you do, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Arthur also laughed: "Charles is really in a hurry. He is trying to win over his allies. Obviously, this bidding made him feel the crisis. I will arrange someone I can trust to contact him."

"There is one thing that has been on my mind for a long time." Ma Wei said suddenly: "Your Highness, how many people do you have in the Congress? There are 55 members of the West Island National Party in the upper and lower houses. How many of them are His Highness's people?" ?”

"Father, are you curious?"

"I'm curious."

"Um"

Tapping the table lightly with his fingers, Arthur looked at Ma Wei calmly, and said after a few seconds: "Of the 55 members of the West Island National Party, 5 are members of the Knights of the Round Table. They are loyal to me and completely obey my orders. As for other MPs... I can also influence them directly or indirectly."

Ma Wei's expression slowed down a little, and he said with emotion: "It seems that your Highness has managed the West Island very well. The 55 members of parliament are actually willing to support you. What benefits do you promise them?"

"The Kingdom of Windsor has long-standing problems, too many overseas colonies, and the political situation is not stable enough, especially the West Island. The people there, you know the priest, they are like dry sticks, and the flames of resistance will be ignited at any time. They hate The East Island wants to achieve national independence." Arthur said quietly: "The reason why they choose to support me is to take advantage of my civil war and let the West Island break away from the rule of the Kingdom of Windsor. They are waiting for an opportunity. And I promise them that, after the event is completed, they will be allowed to establish ethnic autonomous regions, but they will still be under the control of the Kingdom of Windsor."

Ma Wei understood: "The ambition of the nobles of Kexi Island is far more than a simple ethnic autonomous region, right?"

"Yes, their ultimate goal is complete independence, and it is impossible for me to allow them to be independent." Arthur smiled slightly: "During the reign of a wise monarch, the territory must be constantly expanding. The West Island and the East Island are only Separated by a strait, it is a strategic location. Whether it is analyzed from a political or military perspective, the West Island must be brought under the control of the Kingdom of Windsor. Only in this way can the Kingdom of Windsor have no worries."

Arthur's ambition, his ambition, is not weaker than those monarchs such as Katerina, Napoleon, and Caesar. Obtaining the throne is only the first step in his plan. One of the important reasons why he chose Mavi is that Mavi established The Church of Truth is in the same situation as him. It urgently needs to grow and develop. Everyone's interests are the same!

"I said that everyone should remember my name, and let everyone know what kind of monarch my mother gave birth to. She means more to the Kingdom of Windsor than all kings!"

As he was talking, Arthur suddenly paused, as if he remembered something: "My cousin, Katerina Romanov, her ambition is the strongest among the women I have ever seen, for her, Father, What do you think?"

"She is a good king." Ma Wei said lightly: "Your Highness, what do you mean by asking this?"

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to annex the Romanov Kingdom, at least not now." Arthur looked Ma Wei up and down: "I'm just afraid. Well, Father, have you considered the issue of the successor of the Romanov Kingdom?"

"It's too early to talk about the heir."

"I just hope that, Father, you can level the bowl of water. Don't favor the Romanov Kingdom just because my cousin is a woman."

"I stand for equality between men and women."

"It's not about equality between men and women, but forget it, it's too early to say that."

Arthur changed the subject: "Mr. Holmes may encounter some trouble recently."

"What's his trouble?"

"This morning, Prime Minister Winston invited Mr. Holmes to the palace. According to the inside information I have obtained, it seems that the King of the United Kingdom of Ruiwei extended an invitation to Mr. Holmes in the name of the Olympic Games. Prime Minister Winston I hope that Holmes will serve as the interim administrative ambassador of the Kingdom of Windsor and be invited to the United Kingdom of Revel."
