The reason why Xiao Letian came to the Ruhr industrial area was very clear, it was to tie the most famous weapon factory Krupp to his own Chinese chariot.
Both sides established joint ventures with different branches in the Ryukyu, including the Northern Industrial Zones, to produce the mainstream weapons for future wars.
The choice of Krupp made sense, because the company was Germany's most important military industrial conglomerate until the end of World War II.
They had the ability to develop technology, huge financial resources, and countless talent reserves. Until the end of the Second World War, the cannons produced by the Krupp were the most advanced in the world.
This was a company that played with steel and gunpowder to the extreme. Refining steel into cannons had already become an eternal and everlasting gene in this family's bloodline!
If Krupp's arsenal could be moved to Asia, then Chinese steel smelting and gun-making would leap to world-class levels.
If they gave up on the Krupp and chose to find their own way, then in order to catch up to the flow of the world, the Chinese would need at least twenty to thirty years of hard work.
Time does not wait! In this era of national rise, there was no time left to waste!
Xiao Letian passionately displayed his plan to the Mr. Krupp, from the location of the weapons factory to the share sharing between both parties, as well as the definition of management rights, to even the amount of shares held by the Krupp technology, he gave a clear explanation.
Furthermore, Xiao Letian had also predicted the possibility of a war erupting in Asia in the future! The future Asian arms trade will be the most lucrative of all business.
”Dear Mr. Krupp, can you imagine, just how many cannons would be needed to build a long coastline in China? Just how many huge shore defense cannons were needed? ”What kind of cooperation project is this?”
”To be honest, a business like this, not only the British are paying attention, even the Americans is fighting for it. This is a huge business deal with tens of thousands of silver taels as a unit!”
”If we were to build a joint venture in Asia, then no other country's arsenal would be a match for us. ”We have taken all the advantages and disadvantages of the world. I don't think you would be unmoved by such a profitable transaction …”
Xiao Letian continued to demonstrate his beautiful prospects of cooperation with the Mr. Krupp! It was a pity, however, that Krupp's expression was very faint from the beginning to the end. Although he had been listening politely, anyone could feel the sense of rejection from his body.
After finishing his speech, the Head of the Guards looked at Mr. Krupp quietly. ”Dear Sir, do you have any objections?”
Krupp smiled wryly. ”Führer!” I thank you very much for your kind intentions. I also hope to cooperate with you for a long time in my arsenal! ”It doesn't matter. No matter how many cannons you need, you can place an order at my weapons factory. We will produce them for you!”
”But... If you want to build a factory in Asia, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet your requirements. ”
Krupp's meaning was clear. She wanted me to buy the cannon, and I could sell it to you, but it would have to be manufactured in Europe and shipped to Asia by sea. As for the joint venture in Asia, that was impossible.
