Romanian Eagle

Chapter 472 RK Company

While Admiral Freiette was carefully dealing with the issue of army restructuring, Alex and Boris, who had regained their freedom, came to Krupp Manor again.

For the previous experience of dying, the two feel very sorry. Suspended and imprisoned, awaiting orders from the king. Carust's series of actions made them realize how big a mistake they had made. Fortunately, His Majesty was magnanimous and spared them for the time being, otherwise the two would have returned to prison in Romania.

So this time the two were more disciplined. After coming to the study room for the last meeting, the two took out the documents signed by Edel.

Facing the actions of the two, the Krupp couple looked at each other, as if to say that it seemed that this time it was a real joke.

After retracting the document, Alex said with a serious expression and serious eyes: "I wonder what the conditions given by our country were considered by Krupp?"

Facing Alex's words this time, Gustav Krupp replied cautiously: "We Krupp have considered it, and the conditions given by your country before are still not enough. However, considering Romania's goodwill, So we can give some concessions under the existing conditions."

Gustav's words brought a sigh of relief to the two first-time negotiators. This is a signal from Krupp that it is willing to cooperate with Romania. However, the specific conditions need to be discussed, but if they can continue to talk, it means that their work is effective, so they quietly listen to the conditions given by Gustav.

"Our condition is that we will invest in technology and some equipment and occupy half of the new company, while your country will invest in land and funds and occupy the other half. The newly developed weapons will also be owned by this new company. . And if the two militaries want to use it, they can buy it from the company. If other companies want to use it, they need the right to use it. The profits will also be distributed by the new company according to shares.”

Finally, Gustav said: "In addition, the new company must meet the annual production capacity of 1,000 artillery pieces and their parts."

In fact, for Gustav to greatly reduce the conditions, in addition to the factors he said, there are also several other reasons why the previous choices were not suitable.

Krupp previously chose the Netherlands and Sweden as Krupp's secret research and development sites. Among them, the Netherlands has the most friendly attitude towards Krupp. After all, the relationship between the Netherlands and Germany has always been very good, but because its location is too close to Britain and France, it is not suitable as a secret artillery research and development base.

As for Sweden, it is far away from Britain and France, but the relationship between Germany and Sweden is relatively general. And Sweden's neutral position will not help Krupp cover up much, which makes Gustav also a little concerned. As for the future cooperation between Soviet Russia and Germany, it is completely out of Krupp's consideration. For the red regime, Gustav was very hostile from the bottom of his heart.

Compared with the Netherlands and Sweden, conditions in Romania are much better. The distance is far (all are located in the Black Sea), the relationship is good (to be verified), and the most important thing is that Romania can cooperate with the royal family. As the leader of the Krupp company, Gustav is still relatively familiar with the situation in Romania. The power of the current Romanian royal family, the Hohenzollern Sigmaringen family, is still relatively clear.

Doing business with the royal family in Romania is the most profitable, and in terms of confidentiality, which Gustav values ​​most, it can be said that Romania has the most advantage, so he is also the most satisfied with the choice of Romania. However, as a qualified businessman, Gustav certainly needs to strive for maximum profit for himself. So he needs to understand Romania's bottom line as much as possible, and the two people in front of him have become his tools.

As for Gustav's last sentence, it was set up to prevent Romania from only developing and not producing. This also has his little thought. Because Krupp can't continue to produce artillery at present, and Gustav obviously wants to retain the backbone workers, he added one at the end to meet the possibility that Krupp may return to Germany to continue production on a large scale in the future.

After hearing the new conditions given by the other party, Alex thought for a while and replied: "Thank you for your interest in Romania. But for this new condition, I The party still believes that the gap is relatively large. However, in order to reflect our sincerity, we also intend to modify some of the conditions.”

Alex then said in a word-by-word tone: "Our new condition is that Krupp will invest in technology and equipment, and we will invest capital and land to build a new weapons factory. The shares of this factory are half. And we will give up to 20 million lei in research and development funds, and the results must be attributed to this new factory, and the weapons purchased by the German and Romanian military will be exempt from patent fees.”

Hearing the new conditions offered by Alex, Gustav immediately shook his head and replied: "No, no, this condition is unfair to us, our company has invested too much. You must know that equipment and technology are very important to a company. It is too important, especially Krupp has the best artillery technology. Romania only needs to invest land and funds to share this technology. It is too unfair to us, and it is also a denial of the hard work of tens of thousands of Krupp workers. ."

After hearing Gustav's dissatisfaction, Alex continued: "I don't deny that Krupp is currently the most advanced technology, but you also need to consider the actual situation. At present, only Romania has the ability to ensure that Krupp can continue to Secretly develop new artillery, you must know that once Germany rearmament in the future, its profit will be the most favorable for Krupp. It can be said that it is the best choice for Krupp to be able to help your company through the difficulties in Romania. "

Facing Alex's remarks, Gustav smiled and replied: "It's a pity that you don't become a businessman."

Alex did not respond to Gustav's praise.

"You are right, if Krupp's technology is put on for a few more years, it is likely to fall behind. However, in addition to Romania, our company can also cooperate with other countries. It can even be secretly developed by itself. As long as Not in the country, or in places beyond the reach of Britain and France, such as the Netherlands, Spain or Sweden, Norway and other countries.”

"But it's not the best."

Facing the counterattack of the young man in front of him, Gustav said with a smile: "Yes, this is indeed not the best. But don't forget the two, I am a businessman, not a politician. As long as the benefits outweigh the risks, I have every reason to go. Do it. Of course, if Romania is good, why don't I work with you?"

After hearing Gustav's words, the two realized that they were negotiating with a businessman. The other party is also right. As long as the businessman has a good profit, he certainly won't estimate the others, but for some reason, Alex always feels that something is wrong.

"Okay, that's it for today's negotiation. You already know our conditions, so how about we talk about it today?"

Facing Gustav's words, Alex, who has no clue at the moment, just nodded in agreement, so today's negotiation is over.

On the way back, Alex suddenly braked the car suddenly, and the unprepared Boris almost flashed his waist.

"What are you doing, Alex."

"Hahaha, I thought about it."

Facing the anger of his colleague, Alex laughed at this time.

"What did you think of?"

Seeing the colleague who seemed to have lost his madness, Boris asked curiously.

Alex grabs his colleague's shoulder like he's taking a chance.

"I thought about why Gustav Hu said this, he is deceiving us. A pure businessman who went to TM, he is a diplomat, he can't only consider commercial interests, and his way of thinking is habitually adding politics."

"so what?"

"So we are his only target, because Romania is currently the country with the best secret research and development in Germany. It's the problem that they don't choose us."

Alex, who wanted to understand, was refreshed at this time, feeling like a hunter catching a fox.

The next day, when Gustav once again said conditions in Romania were too low, Alex smiled. "Your Excellency, there is no doubt about the importance of Krupp to the German military, and our country and the military have always had close relations. So I hope Krupp can think about it for the military, and stop worrying about these details, after all Krupp grew up with the German army."

Alex's words, Boris listened to the clouds, how the good negotiations involved the German military. Boris doesn't understand, it doesn't mean Gustav didn't hear Alex's intention. I saw him frown a little and said, "Who does this mean?"

"What our superiors mean."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Boris was a little lost. Isn't their superior Carrust, why didn't he know what the director said?

"You two, please rest first and let me think about it."

"OK."

Gustav finished speaking and left with his wife.

After only two people were left in the study, Boris immediately asked, "What are you talking about."

Alex took a sip of the coffee in front of him and replied, "We're negotiating, and it looks like it's almost done."

Sure enough, it didn't take long before the Krupp couple returned to the study and agreed that Krupp would build a new weapons factory in a joint venture with the Romanian government. Among them, Krupp takes half of the shares with technology and equipment, while Romania takes up the other half with land and funds, and Romania has another 30 million lei in research and development funds. This weapons factory will reach an annual production capacity of 1,000 artillery pieces and their parts (it is considered to be the introduction of skilled workers), and the results of research and development will also be used free of charge in Germany and Romania.

The new company was called Romania-Krupp, or RK for short. (abbreviation for Romanian and Krupp)

It's just that when Alex showed Edel the details of the negotiation, he couldn't help but laugh.

"It's really a talent. If you change to a superior, you'll be pissed off. But for the sake of his credit, let's let it go this time."

Looks like Alex got it right.
