Restarting the myth.

Chapter 164 Night Attack
Noon on the 29rd.

Wayne takes Mona to a castle restaurant on the edge of the Grand Canyon to enjoy local Luzern cuisine.

It must be said that Frankish cuisine does have its merits.

Luxembourg's specialties are also worth a try, especially the handmade salty cheese, which is delicious. The special plum wine is appetizing and is an excellent drink to go with meals.

Wayne was very satisfied with the plum wine. He heard that drinking a glass before bed can help refresh the mind and help you sleep, and it can also beautify your body and fight aging. He plans to bring some for his friends on his way back.

Wayne had two purposes for this trip, one was to bid and discuss business, the other was to meet with the Pope's envoy to resolve misunderstandings.

The former is extremely difficult, while the latter is easy.

As a result, the misunderstanding deepened and the deal was concluded.

Wayne didn't know how to comment on this. He could only say that everything is unpredictable and reality is always harder to grasp than imagined.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and the next step is to enjoy life, eat and drink, wait for the bidding to end, and return to Windsor End.

Next door is Frank, with better scenery and food, but Wayne followed the teachings of the Headless Horseman and would never set foot there.

Wayne felt that his life was comfortable, but Nicholas disagreed. He ignored the delicious food and held a stack of documents to talk about the first round of bidding this afternoon.

Nicholas was very panicked. The Prussian soldiers were strong and the Franks were financially powerful, so the odds were evenly split. He kicked out the other contestants before the bidding even started and entered the stage of choosing between two candidates.

Relying on their resource advantages, the Boswell family successfully penetrated the Frankish side. Several powerful families joined forces and were not inferior to Prussia in any way.

The Landau family was in a miserable state. They were kicked out by Owen and couldn't even get a sip of soup. Now they are fighting alone, which has caused great dissatisfaction among their partner Murphy Mining.

Nicholas has no say over at Murphy Mining, has no status and does not have enough qualifications. He hopes Wayne will come forward to appease the other party. No matter what, he is the new boss, and not giving him face would be not giving face to the Landau family.

"There's nothing to see. Three rounds of normal offers will do."

Wayne picked up the glass and shook it. "I still say the same thing. Don't make concessions when quoting. Expensive products are not necessarily good, but cheap products are definitely not good. Albed Steel Company will see our sincerity."

"But we have neither the resources nor the price, so our sincerity is not very strong..."

We have people!

Wayne smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, just do as I say. I am confident that I can pass the first three rounds. On the day of the final offer, there will be many suckers who will actively seek cooperation. Both resources and prices will be available."

"Will it be that easy?"

Nicholas really wanted to remind Wayne that with their strength they could not make it to the final bidding stage, and any reckless behavior would only be seen as disrupting the market order.

Not only will you not make any money, but your reputation will also be damaged.

"By the way, when other people come to seek cooperation, lower their prices. The contract stipulates that we will make the most money in the first two years, and the profits in the following years will belong to them." Wayne reminded.

This business is only profitable in the first two years, after that...

It can’t be said that we lost. After all, it was a war. Who could have imagined this?

"I understand."

Nicholas smiled bitterly. He looked at his boss who acted like a rich young man, then at his female secretary who looked increasingly listless, and felt infinite grief in his heart.

Boss, just because you can win in bed doesn't mean you can be a big shot in the business world. There are a lot of tricks involved.

Take my advice, it's not too late to apologize to the Boswell family now. Otherwise, when you return to London with nothing accomplished, the big boss will most likely choose a new heir.

Did you know that the big boss has a daughter?
your sister!

A son-in-law can also become an heir if he marries into the wife's family.

Nicholas felt that his future was bleak, so he forced himself to go to the bidding site.

He tried hard, but the new boss was really unreliable. He didn't attend the bidding meetings, didn't meet his partners, and spent all his time working hard on his female secretary.

"Boss, aren't you going to tell him?"

Mona looked at Nicholas's desolate back and picked up her napkin to cover the corners of her slightly raised mouth. It was a little bit naughty, but it was more real and she liked it very much.

"No need. The more he knows, the more curious he will be. I'm the boss, and I don't need to explain everything to him."

At this point, Wayne looked at Mona and said, "You don't have to go to work at the detective agency anymore. I'm in need of a secretary. If you need documents signed, send them directly to the study at home. Fla will tell you which study it is."

Mona's heart was leaping with joy, and she nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. She finally had a suitable reason to enter Wayne's house.

"By the way, remember to come over when it's time for dinner, put on some sexy makeup, and look at me with more eager eyes." Wayne gave Mona a new task and promised to give her rewards every once in a while.

Speaking of rewards, Mona immediately perked up and reminded, "Boss, you promised me yesterday at noon that as long as I behaved well, you would give me a reward that night after meeting the envoy, but you didn't give me a 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 punishment-type reward, she doesn't hate it.

----

The bidding site.

The paralyzed head of the Albert Steel Company received the quotation contracts one by one. He smiled at the Prussian mining company and the Boswell family's mining company respectively.

This is a signal.

Owen's mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but cross his legs. He high-fived several partners one by one and discussed where to have dinner tonight.

Pop some champagne!

While chatting, he was paying attention to the seat of the Landau family, or to be more precise, the seat of Frank Murphy Mining.

Instead of seeing Wayne, who looked depressed as if his father had died, I only saw the complaining head of Murphy Mining and Nicholas, who kept his head down the whole time.

Owen felt deeply sorry. He prepared a comforting hug for Wayne, but he didn't come, so he could only hug his female secretary after the dinner tonight.

At this time, it was Murphy Mining's turn to submit a quotation contract.

The company's head had already given up. Because of the various actions of the playboy, they were destined to be eliminated in the first round. They came to the bidding site to give the organizers face. Without Albert Steel, Luzerburg still had other steel companies. They couldn't make big money, but they could still make a little money to support their livelihood.

After returning, I will cancel my status as a partner of the Landau family, withdraw my shares, go wherever I want, and never cooperate with them again.

Nicholas suffered from the cold stares from his partners, and walked forward with the quotation contract and placed it in front of the organizer.

"You must be Mr. Nicholas, it's an honor to meet you. This is my business card. Can I buy you a drink tonight?"

The head of Albed Steel Company handed over his business card and smiled brightly in an instant: "You may not know, but we Luzer people like to talk business while eating."

"..."xN
Below, everyone looked confused.

What business are we talking about? Hasn’t the first round of quotations just begun?

Also, why do you have to say all this in front of them? If you want to lower the price, just say it directly. There's no need to play tricks!
Owen's heart skipped a beat and he turned around to discuss with several partners. Luzel was unethical and had found a cannon fodder to lower the price, so the second round of offers must be made with caution.

No one took Nicholas seriously, believing that this was an act of price-cutting. Unless there was something shady going on, Murphy Mining would not have been able to win the bid.

The head of Murphy Mining also thought so. He was excited for just two seconds, then became depressed again.

Their strength does not allow them to win the bid, unless the other party goes crazy and chases them for money.

Nicholas was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted, gave his business card in return, and made an appointment with the head of Albed Steel Company for dinner tonight.

This was an opportunity. He believed that his eloquence could convince the other party. As long as the other party allowed him to pass the first three rounds of bidding, he could connect several mining companies and bring out their resources and strength.

To this end, Nicholas is willing to do whatever it takes, even if the person in charge looks at him with an especially ambiguous look.

As a Windsor gentleman, Nicholas understood this look too well.

Lift your palm when shaking hands and purse your lips when smiling. As long as he doesn't refuse on the spot, it means he agrees to be sneered tonight.

He thought that only Windsor was like this, but it turns out that Luzern Castle is also like this...

Nicholas did not refuse, but nodded with a tragic mood. That night, both the host and the guests had a great time, and Nicholas returned to the hotel unharmed, describing the outrageous experience to Wayne.

"The people of Luzerburg are crazy and want to give us money."

Wayne said nothing and just smiled faintly.

……

Two days later, the second round of bidding ended.

The head of Murphy Mining and Nicholas hugged each other tightly, while Owen, who was facing them, had a gloomy face.

Boswell Mining Company also advanced to the third round, but he vaguely sensed that something was wrong, and the look he gave Nicholas was extremely strange, with impossibility, disbelief, and incomprehension.

Owen wasn't looking at Nicholas, a working dog who was nothing to worry about. He was looking at the dog's owner, Wayne.

"The Landau family has a great influence in Lundan, but this is Luzerburg. Their family doesn't even run a coal mining business. Why should the people of Luzer treat them differently?"

Owen couldn't figure out this problem, so he asked someone to secretly investigate Wayne's whereabouts to see if the latter had bribed the Grand Duchess.

After another two days, the third round of bidding ended and the final bidding phase began.

Al-Beid Steel did not keep everyone waiting too long and soon announced its partners for the next five years.

Murphy Mining!

In the next five years, all the coal needed by Albeid Steel will be provided by Murphy Mining.

After the words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and only Murphy Mining cheered.

Nicholas was absolutely certain that the people of Luzerburg were crazy!

Owen is going crazy too.

Looking around, all the allies who had called each other brothers two days ago now all went to Nicholas' side. Some handed over their business cards, some spoke well of him. This piece of cake was too big for Murphy Mining to swallow, and only cooperation could bring profit.

The offensive and defensive situation was reversed, and it was Nicholas' turn to choose the outsourcing company.

In response, Al Beid Steel Company did not even glance at the result, perhaps because they were afraid of hearing it, and left the scene immediately after the result was announced.

Nicholas selected his partners based on the principle of fairness. Friendly merchants from both Frank and Prussia accepted his requests and cooperated for mutual benefit and made money together.

When finalizing the cooperation contract, he suddenly remembered what Wayne had said, and stood there in a daze, with disbelief written all over his face.

The boss seems to know he can win!

"That's impossible. All he does is eat and play..."

Nicholas shuddered. He seemed to have underestimated the boss and also underestimated the boss's bloodline.

"That's right, his heir can't be a loser who only knows how to play with women."

So, how did you win?

People do not share the same joys and sorrows. Nicholas kept laughing, but Owen thought it was noisy. After hesitating for a long time, he forced a smile on his face, blended into the crowd, and handed Nicholas a business card.

"Boswell Mining Company is very strong and has many cooperative enterprises in Frank."

This was Owen's only line, and Nicholas didn't even need to refuse, as his former ally pushed him away.

Owen left angrily and received the investigation report that night. Wayne did not bribe the Grand Duchess and had never met her at all. He ate, drank, had fun and slept with the female secretary every day, making the female secretary haggard.

Owen didn't think he lost to Nicholas. Murphy Mining won miraculously. It must be that Wayne used some tricks.

"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 matter-of-fact look, he decisively confirmed what he was thinking.

Playing with women was just an illusion. The boss took over the Albed Steel Company without telling anyone.

The question is, how did they do it?
Nicholas was well aware of how difficult this was. Luzernburg's geographical location meant that this bidding would be a political statement.

"Who knows, maybe it's just good luck. I've always had good luck." Wayne sat on the sofa with his secretary Mona standing behind him.

This scene reminded Nicholas of his big boss, Auston. It cannot be said to be exactly the same, but it can only be said to be a perfect replica.

Nicholas was deeply impressed. The bloodline of the Landau family was indeed powerful. He bowed and said, "Boss, Albed Steel Company is hosting a banquet at the Grand Duke's Palace tonight. I have invited several friendly merchants to attend. Are you ready to attend?"

"No, I still have research tonight. Bring all the team members with you. You've worked hard these days. Have fun."

"Research?" Nicholas became excited. What research? Is it the business secret of the Landau family?
Want to see it!

"Well, study her."

Wayne pointed at Mona behind him, who looked normal, with the nonchalant look of someone who is often studied.

It turned out that this was the Landau family's business secret. It was too profound and not something an ordinary person like him could learn.

Nicholas was choking for a moment. After organizing for a long time, he couldn't find the right words. He said, "Boss, take care of yourself. The future of the group cannot be without you."

After saying this, they left together.

"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 was interesting when viewed from a high place.

"There are indeed things worth learning from capitalism, especially its tendency to lead people to depravity. It's only been a short while, and I'm already getting carried away."

Wayne shook his head and said to Mona, "I've been busy designing clothes these days and have put aside my training courses. I just gave you a reward, but I won't give it to you tonight. Let's go to another place and I'll set up another meditation formation."

Mona nodded, looking forward to being discovered tonight, so that she could cooperate with Wayne to cover her tracks.

Wayne did not leave the hotel immediately. He watched an antique TV for a while and did not go out until ten o'clock in the evening.

at the same time.

More than a dozen black figures took advantage of the cover of night and silently surrounded the hotel.

"The target is the big hotel. Most of the irrelevant people have left. The remaining tourists are ordinary people and will not have any impact."

"Is everything ready?"

"We're ready. Forbidden Magic Field and Mirror Space Projection Barrier. They're doomed... But is it necessary to use such precious things on them?"

"Don't underestimate them. They are the first group of Moonlight Church members to enter Lundan. Without the Mirror Space Boundary, it will be difficult for us to capture them."

"I just think it's such a pity. We could have ambushed and killed the legendary wizard..."

"Don't talk nonsense, this is the arrangement from above, just follow the order."

"clear."

……

Wayne walked out of the suite and stood at the elevator entrance on the fifth floor, humming a tune Mona had never heard before, waiting for the elevator pointer above to move.

"what?!"

Wayne's breathing stagnated and he turned his head stiffly, looking at the end of the corridor in disbelief.

Gray deathly air, terrifying sense of oppression...

The Death Knight is coming!
