Father Mavie

Chapter 675 Outlet (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
As soon as he stepped out of the shadow of the prison, the second prince began to make small calculations.

His idea is very simple, he just wants to use Ma Wei to win more favorable conditions for himself. From the Paris incident, he already knows what Ma Wei thinks in his heart. No matter what conditions Anatole promises, he has not betrayed the Church of Goddess of Destiny. Doesn't this explain anything?

The second prince, who already trusted Ma Wei so much, had no doubts about Ma Wei's loyalty at this moment, and he had no way out.

Ma Wei was recommended by him, and if there is a problem with Ma Wei, he can't get rid of it.

Now that the "Paris Potions Agreement" has been signed, the barriers in all aspects have been completely opened up, and the Manstein Potions Company has ushered in the opportunity to take off. Now, the last retreat of the second prince has disappeared.

Now he is completely bound to Ma Wei, we share weal and woe, if Ma Wei has an accident, he will never escape, on the contrary, if he has an accident, Ma Wei can be exempted from punishment by virtue of his importance to the church.

To put it simply, no matter whether Mavi is a spy sent by other churches or not, the second prince will think he is not!
Not only do you have to support Ma Wei in your heart, but you also need to defend Ma Wei and Manstein Potions Company in actual actions!
This situation is obviously what Mavi would like to see. After experiencing this incident, his relationship with the second prince has become closer, enough to enter the core social circle.

In late April, the fleet sailed into the Thames River, and after traveling for more than half a month, the Maveys finally returned to London.

There was no danger on the way back, and no one wanted to assassinate Ma Wei or the second prince. Ma Wei estimated that the assassin's absence might have something to do with Archbishop Brandon and Archbishop Liviu.

Before the departure, there was only one archbishop and one saint on board. On the return journey, there were two archbishops and two saints. If they really fought and the goddess descended, who could hurt Ma Wei?
When Pope Ubli I learned that Mavi and the others had returned safely, he went to the pier to greet them in person. He staged a huge battle and eliminated irrelevant people. Rhodes IV did not come, but the eldest prince came. He is the representative of the king.

The signing of the "Paris Agreement on Potions" means that the potion market has officially opened to internationalization. How can the church not pay attention to such an important matter?

Pope Ubli I invited Mavi to sit in his exclusive carriage, and while heading to St. Paul's Cathedral, he asked about the market situation in Paris and the next step of the Manstein Potion Company.

"Your Majesty, the signing of the agreement means that the multinational market is on the right track. Other kingdoms should say that potion companies supported by other churches will also open in London. We should conduct market evaluation again based on the potions and materials they sell, and formulate a suitable and reasonable transaction price. Be independent but not alone. Start to popularize, popularize, and popularize the market of potions, quickly spread the potion market, and implement a diversification strategy."

Umbly I only understood half of what he understood. He was not an expert in this field. Archbishop Brandon understood everything, and explained: "What Nicholas means is that we should allow ordinary people to participate in the potion business, open up the potion business, and transform it from privately owned by the church to publicly owned by the public."

It is still too conservative to say that the church is private and the public is public. Ma Wei’s idea is to break the monopoly of the church, open up the third-level potion market transactions, and give up part of the benefits to ordinary people. Of course, Archbishop Brandon can’t say it explicitly, and euphemistically uses private and public to explain it.

"Open the potion market?" Umbly I pondered: "How to open it specifically?"

"To put it simply, it is to allow the public to mine, breed, and grow potion raw materials. After they are mature, the Manstein Potion Company will recycle them in a unified manner. This will not only reduce the pressure on the church and the company, but also allow the public to get discounts, further reduce costs, and realize a market-oriented business model."

"If marketization is started, wouldn't it cause potion companies in other countries to bypass the Manstein Company and directly purchase potions from the private sector?" Ubly I frowned. "What benefits does this do to the Manstein Company?"

"Your Majesty, opening up the folk potion market is the general trend. If an industry only wants to make money, monopoly must be the best way. If it wants to expand outward and seek better development, opening up is the only and only way to go."

Ma Wei said: "With the support of the church, the Manstein Potion Company can of course achieve a market monopoly, but this is not what we need. Money is only a small part of our needs. What we really need is to control the economy of other countries through the operation of potions! Only in this way can the Kingdom of Windsor sit on the throne of the world forever!"

Fearing that Umbly I would not understand, Ma Wei added a few more words: "Opening the potion market is only the first step. The Kingdom of Windsor must set an example for other kingdoms. Once we open up the market, other kingdoms should also open up the market! When a certain industry is profitable, even if the law prohibits it, it cannot stop the people!"

"If only the Kingdom of Windsor opens up the potion market, then people in other kingdoms will secretly sell the obtained potion ingredients to the Manstein Potion Company at a low price! Because only the Manstein Company is willing to pay for it!"

"In this way, the price we pay for purchasing potion materials from other countries will definitely be different from the price on the surface, and will definitely be lower, while other kingdoms will have to pay a higher price if they want to buy potion materials from the Kingdom of Windsor!"

Ma Wei said in a serious tone: "As long as we open up the potion market, other kingdoms will follow suit! When all the countries that signed the "Paris Potion Agreement" open their domestic markets, the potion business will quickly enter a period of prosperity. The Kingdom of Windsor can fully use its biggest advantage in shipping to expand outward and gain more benefits!"

Now Umbly I understood that Mavi was playing a big game. Opening up the potion market appeared to be detrimental to the church’s monopoly position, but in fact it was forcing other kingdoms to stand on the same starting line as himself. In that case, the Kingdom of Windsor, which already had an inherent advantage, could further expand its market share and earn more!

"The more I think about it, the more frightened I become." Ubli I took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead and said, "If you, Nicholas, were left in Paris by Anatole, it would be a terrible thing! Your loyalty, the church, the kingdom, and the goddess are obvious to all!"

As he said, Ubli I smiled: "The church wants to reward you, tell me, what reward do you want?"

At this stage of Ma Wei, there is nothing he can't get, and the church doesn't know what to reward for his loyalty, so he just let him say it himself.

"As the potion dealer of the church, helping you is helping myself. I have already chosen the Kingdom of Windsor, and I will not change my decision. No one likes traitors, right?"

"That's right, who would like traitors? Traitors should be hanged on the gallows!" Ubli I said: "But the rewards still have to be rewarded, Nicholas, those who are loyal to the church and the goddess must be rewarded. This is for more people to see. Whether you need it or want it, we will reward you. You don't have to think too much, just say what you want."

Ma Wei was a little tangled, he was not hypocritical, but he really didn't know what he needed for a while.

Seeing Mawei's hesitation, Archbishop Liviu said, "It's better to say hello to the king and reward Nicholas with the title. Based on his achievements, even if he is not a duke, he can become an earl. Then he will reward a piece of territory and manor."

"What? The title?" Ma Wei stared wide-eyed and quickly refused: "Thank you Archbishop for your kindness, but the title is still forgot."

What a joke!
According to the rules of the Kingdom of Windsor, nobility cannot enter the House of Commons, which is actually in power!

Nobles can only enter the House of Lords!
The eldest prince, the second prince, and Freya all have party support behind them. The eldest prince is the Conservative Party, and the second prince is the Liberal Party. Then what?

They are not the actual controllers of the party at all!They can only be counted as people supported by the party, and the party leader is someone else!
And the most important thing for a party is not how much money it has, how many nobles it has, but the number of supporters in the House of Commons!
The power of the House of Commons is far greater than that of the House of Lords. Under such circumstances, it would be too stupid for Mavie, who wants to participate in politics and enter Congress, to accept the reward and become a nobleman.
You know, even the prime minister of the kingdom, Winston Churchill, first passed the title of nobility to his son before entering the cabinet!
Only civilians can serve as cabinet members and prime ministers of the kingdom!
Although resigning from the title and entering the cabinet is a loophole in the system, at least the attitude is there, and there is nothing wrong with it. Ma Wei does not want to become an earl. His goal is the House of Commons, and the four princes should cooperate with each other to establish a Labor Party!

"Don't want a title?"

A bright light flashed in the eyes of Archbishop Liviu: "Nicholas, do you want to participate in politics?"

"Yes."

Ma Wei admitted frankly that it is impossible to hide the truth, so it is better to admit it openly: "I want to participate in the next general election and enter the House of Commons."

"why?"

"Um"

Glancing at the car behind, Ma Wei pretended to be embarrassed: "It's not convenient to say."

Umbly I looked back and suddenly realized.

In the carriage behind, sat the second prince and the others.

It's no secret that the second prince and the eldest prince are competing for the throne. They can chat with each other from the king to the women on the street. Since it is a competition, it depends on their own abilities.

As a quasi-core member of the second prince's faction, Ma Wei's entry into the House of Commons to participate in politics can provide a lot of help for the second prince.

The Manstein company can not only provide financial support to the second prince, but also provide political assistance. No matter how you look at it, this is a signal for in-depth cooperation.

This is not surprising.

Umbly I nodded: "Since you have made up your mind, then you will not be rewarded with a title."

"Thank you."

"Give the title to your younger brother, Felix or Jonas." Ubli I changed the subject: "The two of them will not participate in politics, so it will be no problem to get the title reward. Or do you want to give the title to your daughter, Emma?"

Ma Wei looked down at Junia, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Emma is still young, what does she want a title for?"

"There is a piece of territory that belongs to you, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future." Ubly I said: "You can decide on this matter. You can tell Archbishop Brandon who you will reward, but you must make a decision as soon as possible."

"Right now." Marvey said, "Let's reward Earl Felix."

As the second child of the Manstein family, it is normal for Mavi to transfer the title to Felix. From Mavi's point of view, Daniel probably doesn't think much of this title. He is the first crown prince of the Kingdom of Frederick, the future king, and the entire territory of the kingdom belongs to him. A small earl probably doesn't think much of it.

On the contrary, Levin does not have such a secular backer as Daniel, so it is not bad to give him a title and live a noble life.

When they arrived at St. Paul's Cathedral, Ma Wei declined Umbly I's invitation for dinner, and took Levin and others to the head office on the grounds of handling company affairs.

In the office, Tiffany was holding a pen and staring at the documents in front of her in a daze. She was upset and couldn't settle down, as if she had lost her soul.

The head of the regiment has no news for half a month. I heard that the Bonaparte Empire has blocked the border. Nothing will happen, right?
The tip of the pen poked the paper, Tiffany sighed, feeling unspeakably bored. She thought it would be better to join the Manstein Potion Company, but she still couldn’t see the leader
click.

The door rang.

"I'm not hungry, Josephine, go out and eat." Tiffany, who thought she was a colleague from the accounting department, said without looking up.

A rose came into view.

"Tiffany, what if you don't have a good meal?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Tiffany slowly raised her head. Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of her but the extremely familiar tone, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, she sniffled and said, "Mr. Tuan Felix, what are you doing? Don't you have an appointment with Miss Helena?"

"Go to her tomorrow." Levin put the rose in front of Tiffany: "I want to invite you to dinner."

"You go with Gina, she works much harder than me."

"You worked as hard as her." Levin said seriously, "I don't know how to thank you, Tiffany."

"cough."

Ma Wei, who felt that the two of them would chat for a long time, coughed: "Then what, I brought the report of the Paris branch, the next month's shipment list, and the company's next development plan. Why don't you talk about business first?"

Tiffany quickly wiped her eyes, and said seriously, "Got it, boss."

Calling other employees of the company, Ma Wei held a meeting. It was rare for Ma Wei to perform the duties of the boss. He carefully explained the development direction of the company and made a detailed plan according to the situation of each branch.

After solving the company's problems, it was already evening. After a stretch, Mavi decided to go to Canary Wharf to see the fat oranges. After leaving London for nearly a month, I don't know what happened to them.
Just as Mavi walked out of the company gate and blew a copper whistle to attract a carriage, Freya suddenly came out from the restaurant across the street.

"The dignified owner of Manstein's Potion Company doesn't even have a carriage of his own. Aren't you afraid of others' jokes when you say it?"
