Chapter 142: Cooperation with Prussia (1/2)
”You are embarrassing me. The Krupp family is a friend of the empire. We used Krupp artillery to win three dynasty wars until we finally achieved the unification of Germany. Today, it is because of you and your family. , We must punish Krupp! You are persecuting the empire!” As Prince Heinrich said, His Royal Highness has been in a bad mood these days. Ruprecht can feel it as soon as we meet A strong hostility.
”Aren't we friends now? Do you think that when Krupp is playing small moves under the table, we should bear it, and then you are satisfied? Krupp has indeed contributed to the strength of Germany, but that is the past It's up. And now, it is hindering the advancement of the empire. He uses the trust given by the royal family to make money for himself, fight against competitors, and harm the interests of the empire!” Prince Ruprecht asked rhetorically.
”You are a person who is good at taking advantage of the situation. You can always stand on the side of the so-called righteousness and gain benefits under the name of the empire. From the perspective of what you do, what is the difference between you and Krupp? You are more like one A businessman rather than a prince! What's more terrifying is that behind you is a kingdom, we can control Krupp, but we can't control you!” Prince William's words were a bit harsh!
”We learned from the Hohenzollern family. You have invested in large companies very early, and you can get a share of them. At the beginning, the Prussian royal family also had many companies and shipyards, whether it was Germania shipyard or William The Royal Shipyard originally belonged to you, but was later sold to Mauser's factory. The Prussian royal family used to have a huge enterprise. You can't do it well by yourself. Who is to blame? When it comes to starting a business, you are much earlier than us. Now Complain about us coming?”
Ruprecht’s answer is also unambiguous. Don't persuade this time! What if there is a big fight? Now William can still make his list yellow? Low-key is conditional, and blindly shrinking is not enough. Now everyone is almost equal to a secret meeting. If things are not spread, they are not afraid of losing face.
”Okay, don't talk about these useless things, will you ask me to meet because of these old sesame seeds and rotten grains? Everyone needs to look at the money, and cooperate.” Not waiting for Prince William to speak. Ruprecht changed the subject decisively. I have delayed too long, this matter should be resolved.
”We originally planned to sell the Germania shipyard to Krupp, but now it seems that he does not have the ability to take over the company. Are you interested in cooperating?” William II is not talking nonsense, let’s talk about business first. important.
The Bavarian behavior set a good example for the Prussian royal family. Originally, the Hohenzollern family had many factories, but they were disposed of due to poor management or other reasons, resulting in a serious loss of state-owned assets. Now, Huo The Henzollern family thinks that the royal family can also do a good job in owning the factory. Look at Bavaria. Only a few years? How big is it? I didn't do a good job at the time because of the manager's problem! Since the Hohenzollern family can sell the factory to private individuals, they can also cooperate with the Bavarian royal family. It's always good to be able to hold it in your own hands.
”Fuck, I feel a lot of pressure!” Ruprecht couldn't help but wiped a cold sweat. What is the most worried person in the system? Naturally, I run into an opponent who is higher than my own system! The signs of the Bavarian royal family are loud enough in the empire. But it is still a lot worse than the Kaiser.
”How to divide? One person and half? We will manage and manage, and you will provide hardware and personnel.” Ruprecht put forward his own opinions.
”What do you want? We provided all the equipment, machinery and labor, and half of one person? We can give you 30% at most! The most!”
