Chapter 164 Night Attack
Noon on the 29th.
Wayne took Mona to a castle restaurant on the edge of the Grand Canyon to enjoy local delicacies of Luzerburg.
Needless to say, Franconian cuisine does have its merits.
The special delicacies of Luzerburg are also worth trying, especially the handmade salty cheese, which is delicious. The special plum wine is appetizing and is an excellent drink to accompany the meal.
Wayne was very satisfied with the plum wine. He heard that a glass of it before going to bed had a refreshing and soothing effect, as well as beauty and health care and anti-aging effects. He planned to take some to his friends on his return trip.
Wayne's trip had two purposes, one was to bid for business and the other was to meet with the Pope's envoy to resolve misunderstandings.
The former is extremely difficult, the latter is a piece of cake.
As a result, the misunderstanding deepened and the business was successfully negotiated.
Wayne didn't know how to evaluate it. He could only say that everything is unpredictable and reality is always more difficult to grasp than imagined.
The goal of this trip is over, and the next step is to enjoy life, eat and drink, wait for the bidding meeting to end, and return to Windsorendam.
Next door is Frank, with better scenery and better food, but Wayne follows the instructions of the Headless Horseman and will never set foot there.
Wayne felt that his little life was very comfortable, but Nicholas didn't think so. He ignored the food and talked about the first round of bidding this afternoon with a stack of documents.
Nicholas was in a panic. The Prussian soldiers had strong horses and Frank had strong financial resources. The outcome was 50-50. He kicked out other contestants before the bidding started and entered the second-choice stage.
The Boswell family relied on their resource advantages to successfully break into the Frankish side, and several powerful companies joined forces to not be weaker than Prussia.
The Landau family was in dire straits. They were kicked out by Owen and couldn't even drink soup. Now they were fighting alone, which made their partner Murphy Mining very dissatisfied.
Nicholas has no say in Murphy Mining. He has no status and insufficient qualifications. He hopes that Wayne will come forward to appease him. In any case, he is the new boss. If you don't give him face, you won't give face to the Landau family.
"There's nothing to see, just three rounds of normal quotes."
Wayne picked up the wine glass and shook it: "I still say what I said, don't give away profits when quoting. Expensive may not necessarily be good, but cheap is definitely not good. Albed Steel Company will see our sincerity."
"But we have neither the resources nor the price, so we are not very sincere..."
We have people!
Wayne smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, just do as I say. I'm confident that it will pass the first three rounds. On the day of the final quotation, there will be many scammers who actively seek cooperation, and both resources and prices will be available."
"Will it be that easy?"
Nicholas wanted to remind Wayne that with their strength they would not be able to make it through the final quotation stage, and messing around would only be seen as disrupting the market order.
Not only will you not make any money, your reputation will be damaged.
"By the way, when other people come to seek cooperation, keep their prices low. We will make the majority of the profit in the first two years of the contract, and the profits in the following years will belong to them." Wayne reminded.
This business can only be profitable in the first two years, after that...
Can't say it's a loss, after all it's a war, who would have thought!
"I see."
Nicholas smiled bitterly, looked at the boss who looked like a young man, and then looked at the female secretary who looked increasingly depressed, and felt infinite sorrow in his heart.
Boss, just because you can win consecutive battles in bed doesn't mean you can kill everyone in the mall. There are deep connections here.
Take my advice, it's not too late to apologize to the Boswell family, otherwise you will return to Lundan with nothing accomplished, and the big boss will most likely choose a new heir.
Did you know that the big boss also has a daughter?
Your sister!
A son-in-law can also become an heir.
Nicholas felt deeply that his future was bleak, so he worked hard to go to the bidding meeting.
He tried hard, but the new boss couldn't help him. He didn't participate in the bidding meeting, and his partners were missing. Day by day, he found himself working hard on the female secretary.
"Boss, won't you tell him?"
Mona looked at Nicholas' bleak back, picked up a napkin to cover the slightly raised corners of his mouth, it was a bit bad, but it was more real this way, and she liked it very much.
"It's not necessary. The more he knows, the more curious he will be. I'm the boss, so I don't have to explain everything to him."
Speaking of this, Wayne looked at Mona: "You don't have to work in a detective agency anymore. I need a secretary. Documents that need to be signed can be sent directly to the study at home. Fula will tell you which study."
Mona was excited and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice. She finally had a suitable reason to enter Wayne House.
"By the way, remember to come here while eating, put on sexy makeup, and look at me with a more eager look." Wayne gave Mona a new task and promised to settle rewards for her every once in a while.
Speaking of rewards, Mona immediately became energetic and reminded: "Boss, you promised me at noon yesterday that as long as I perform well and meet the envoy, I will be rewarded that night, but there was no reward last night."
"Why not? Didn't I leave you hanging there?"
Mona's eyes widened, this was not a reward, it was clearly a punishment.
"dislike?"
Well, if it's a punitive reward, then she doesn't hate it.

On-site bidding meeting.
The paralyzed person in charge of the Albed Steel Company received the quotations and contracts one by one. He smiled at the Prussian mining company and the Boswell family's mining company respectively.
This is a signal.
The corner of Owen's mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but cross his legs, high-fiving several partners one by one, and discussing where to have dinner tonight.
Open a few bottles of champagne by the way!
While chatting, he paid attention to the seat of the Landau family, to be precise, the seat of Frank Murphy Mining.
Instead of seeing Wayne, who looked as depressed as a dead father, he only saw the grumbling head of Murphy Mining, and Nicholas, who kept his head down the whole time.
Owen felt deeply regretful. He prepared a comforting hug for Wayne, but no one came, so he could only hug his female secretary after dinner tonight.

At this time, it was Murphy Mining’s turn to submit the quotation contract.
The person in charge of the company has already failed. Because of the various tricks of the dandy young master, they are destined to be eliminated in the first round. They came to the bidding meeting to give the organizer face. Without the Albede Steel Company, there are other steel companies in Luzerburg, and they cannot make big money. It is still possible to make a small amount of money to survive.
After returning home, he will cancel his status as a partner of the Landau family, withdraw his shares, and go wherever he wants, and will never cooperate again in the future.
After suffering the glare from his partners, Nicholas came forward with the quotation and contract and placed it in front of the organizer.
"You are Mr. Nicholas. It's an honor to meet you. This is my business card. Can I buy you a drink tonight?"
The person in charge of Albed Steel Company handed over his business card, and his face changed in a second and he smiled brightly: "You may not know, but we Luzer people like to discuss business while eating."
"..." xN
Below, everyone looked confused.
What kind of business are we talking about? Isn’t the first round of quotations just beginning?
Also, why do you say this in front of them? If you want to lower the price, just say it. There is no need to play false!
Irving's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to discuss with several partners. Luzer was unethical and found a cannon fodder to lower the price. The second round of quotations must be cautious.
Everyone ignored Nicholas and determined that this was an act of lowering prices. Unless there was a shady case, Murphy Mining would not be able to win the bid.
The person in charge of Murphy Mining also thought so. He was excited for just two seconds and then fainted again.
Their strength does not allow them to win the bid, unless the opponent goes crazy and chases them to give away money.
Nicholas was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, gave his business card in return, and made an appointment with the person in charge of Albeid Steel Company for a dinner party tonight.
This is an opportunity. He believes that his eloquence can convince the other party. As long as the other party allows him to pass the first three rounds of quotations, he can connect several mining companies to provide resources and strength.
For this reason, Nicholas is willing to do whatever it takes, even if the person in charge looks at him with a particularly ambiguous look.
As a Windsor gentleman, Nicholas knew this look all too well.
When shaking hands, he tucks his palms, and when he smiles, he purses his lips. As long as he doesn't refuse on the spot, he agrees to be teased tonight.
He thought that only Windsor was like this, but it turned out that Luzerburg was also like this...
Nicholas did not refuse and nodded with a tragic heart. That night, the guests and hosts had a great time, and Nicholas returned to the hotel unharmed and described the outrageous incident to Wayne.
“The people of Luzerburg are crazy and want to send us money.”
Wayne said nothing and smiled lightly.
…
Two days later, the second round of bidding ended.
The head of Murphy Mining and Nicholas hugged each other fiercely. Opposite him was Owen with a gloomy face.
Boswell Mining Company also advanced to the third round, but he vaguely sensed something was wrong, and looked at Nicholas with an extremely strange look, impossible, disbelieving, and incomprehensible.
Owen wasn't looking at Nicholas, a working dog with nothing to worry about, he was looking at the dog's owner, Wayne.
"The Landau family has great influence in Lundan, but this is Luzerburg, and their family doesn't even run the coal mining industry. Why should the people of Luzer treat them differently?"
Owen couldn't figure out this problem, so he asked people to secretly investigate Wayne's whereabouts to see if the latter had bribed the Grand Duchess.
After another two days, the third round of quotations ended, and the final quotation process began directly.
Albed Steel did not keep everyone waiting long and soon announced its partners for the next five years.
Murphy Mining!
Murphy Mining will provide all the coal required by Albed Steel over the next five years.
After the words fell, everyone was dumbfounded. Only Murphy Mining raised its arms and cheered.
Nicholas was absolutely convinced that the people of Luzerburg were crazy!
Owen is going crazy too.
Looking around, all the allies who were brothers two days ago are now on Nicholas' side. Those who hand over business cards hand over business cards, and those who say good things say good things. This cake is too big for Murphy Mining to swallow. Only by working together can everyone make money.
The offensive and defensive momentum reversed, and it was Nicholas' turn to choose an outsourcing company.
In this regard, Albed Steel Company did not even look at it. Perhaps they were afraid of hearing it and left the venue immediately after announcing the results.
Nicholas chose his partners based on the principle that a bowl of water should be equal. Neither Frank nor Prussian businessmen refused. Cooperation was a win-win situation and we could make money together.
When finalizing the cooperation contract, he suddenly remembered what Wayne had said and froze in place, with disbelief written all over his face.
The boss seems to know he can win!
"Impossible, he only plays and eats..."
Nicholas shuddered. He seemed to have underestimated the boss, and he also underestimated the big boss's pedigree.
"That's right, his heir can't be a loser who only knows how to play with women."
So, how did you win?
People's sorrows and joys are not the same. Nicholas's laughter continued, but Owen only felt noisy after hearing it. After hesitating for a long time, he forced a smile on his face, forced himself into the crowd and handed Nicholas a business card.
"Boswell Mining Company is strong and has many cooperative companies in Frankia."
This was Owen's only line, and Nicholas didn't need to refuse it before his former allies squeezed him away.
Irving left angrily and received the investigation report that night. It was found that Wayne did not bribe the Grand Duchess and had never met her. He ate, drank, played and slept with her secretary every day, making her haggard.
Owen didn't think he lost to Nicholas. Murphy Mining won like a miracle. Wayne must have used an off-the-table trick.
"So, I am not as good as him because I am no match for the female secretary?"
————
"Boss, do you know something?"
In the presidential suite, Nicholas reported the good news. Seeing Wayne's natural expression, he decisively confirmed what he was thinking.
Playing with women is just an illusion, the boss took over the Albed Steel Company without telling everyone.
The question is, how on earth is it done?
Nicholas knows how difficult it is. The geographical location of Luzerburg determines that this tender will be a political statement.
"Who knows, maybe it's just good luck. I've always been pretty lucky." Wayne sat on the sofa, with his secretary Mona standing behind him.
This scene reminded Nicholas of the big boss Alston. It cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said to be a perfect replica.
Nicholas was deeply impressed. The blood of the Landau family was really powerful. He bowed and said: "Boss, Albedo Steel Company is hosting a banquet at the Grand Duke's Palace tonight. I have invited several friends to attend. Are you going to attend?"
"No, I have some research to do in the evening, so I will bring all the team members with me. You have worked hard these days, so have fun."
"Research?" Nicholas became more energetic. What kind of research? Is it the business secrets of the Landau family?
Want to see it!
"Well, study her."
Wayne pointed at Mona behind him, who looked as usual, with a look of indifference that was often studied.
It turns out that this is the business secrets of the Landau family. It is too profound for an ordinary person like him to learn.
Nicholas was choked for words. After organizing for a long time, he couldn't find the right words. He held back one sentence and said: "Boss, please pay attention to your health. The future of the group cannot be without you."
After saying that, he left with hands and feet.
"Hahaha, this guy is quite interesting."
Wayne laughed out loud and raised his hand to touch his chin. He knew that it was not Nicholas who was interesting, but that everything he saw from a high place was interesting.
"There is indeed something worth learning about capitalism, especially how it leads to depravity. It has only been a while since I started to fall in love with it."
Wayne shook his head and said to Mona: "I've been busy designing clothes these days, and I've put aside all the training courses. I just gave you a reward, but I won't give it to you tonight. I'll change the place and set up another meditation array. "
Mona nodded, looking forward to being discovered tonight. In this case, she could cooperate with Wayne to cover up her whereabouts.
Wayne did not leave the hotel immediately. He watched antique TV for a while and didn't go out until ten o'clock in the evening.
at the same time.
Using the cover of night, more than a dozen black figures silently completed the siege of the hotel.
"The target is in the hotel. All the irrelevant people have almost left. The remaining tourists are ordinary people and can't affect anything."
"Is everything ready?"
"Get ready, they are dead in the Forbidden Demon Realm and the Mirror Space Projection Barrier... But is it necessary to use such precious things on them?"
"Don't underestimate them. The first batch of Moonlight Church members to enter Lundan, without the mirror space barrier, it will be difficult for us to take them down."
"I just think it's a pity that the legendary mage can be ambushed and killed..."
"Don't talk nonsense. This is the arrangement from above. Just execute the order."
"clear."
…
Wayne walked out of the suite and stood at the elevator entrance on the fifth floor, humming a tune that Mona had never heard before, waiting for the elevator needle above to turn.
"Eh?!"
Wayne's breath froze, and he turned his head stiffly, looking at the end of the corridor in disbelief.
The gray air of death, the terrifying sense of oppression...
The death knight is coming!
