Jagged Germany

   Early the next morning, Qin Tian arrived at the Krupp headquarters by car. Because Karl had already made an appointment in advance, when Qin Tian arrived, Miss Beta Krupp, the current helm of the Krupp company, was already waiting at the entrance of the building.

   "Miss Krupp, I'm really sorry for the long wait!" Qin Tian apologized.

  The Krupp family has always been the pillar of German militarism and is favored by the country's highest authorities. It is the tradition of this family to keep time, follow discipline and follow orders. Taking meal time as an example, breakfast is at 7:15, and those who arrive at 7:16 will find that the restaurant is closed and others have already started eating. In addition, even in the severe winter, the Krupp family members refused to turn on the fireplace, deliberately making the office cold so as not to become listless... It can be said that this family is completely a standard model.

"Your Highness, it is an honor for the Krupp family and the entire company that you can come to our Krupp company. Now the entire German Empire is spreading your legend. I think you are an unparalleled business genius. I also I have long wanted to discuss business exchanges with you." Beta Krupp smiled.

   "Miss Krupp, this is also my honor." Qin Tian was very humble.

  Beta Krupp, granddaughter of Krupp founder Alfred Krupp, daughter of the second-generation president Friedrich Alfred Krupp. In 1902, Krupp's second-generation president, Friedrich Alfred Krupp, committed suicide because of a homosexual scandal exposed by the press, leaving only one daughter, Beta Krupp. However, it is too inconceivable in Germany that the Krupp weapons empire is controlled by young women. Krupp is too important to Germany. Most of the naval guns of the navy and the artillery of the army are produced by Krupp.

  Qin Tian knew that next year Wilhelm II would personally choose a husband for Beta Krupp. The Prussian diplomat Gustav von Pollen Under Halbahey will be the last candidate. Of course, after Gustav entered the Krupp family and took control of the Krupp company, it also enabled the Krupp company to start a new round of development and become the world's top arms group.

  Of course, Krupp is still under the leadership of him, Ms. Krupp, and is working hard to maintain it.

   Led by Ms. Beta Krupp, Qin Tian began to visit the headquarters of Krupp. In fact, it's just the company's headquarters. There are no factories and production workshops, and there is nothing to see. The only thing that can be experienced is probably the corporate culture of Krupp. The frugal, diligent and rigorous work style made Qin Tian sigh with emotion. This may be the reason why Krupp was able to succeed.

  After a brief visit, Qin Tian and Ms. Beta Krupp returned to the office.

   "Your Highness, what is the purpose of your visit this time?" Beta Krupp asked straight to the point when there were only the two of them left in the office.

  Although Qin Tian is young, the German Welfare Lottery Company founded by Qin Tian has already been hailed as the most profitable company in the entire German Empire. One year's profit, even the huge Krupp company may not be able to compare with it.

   "Miss Krupp, this time I am here to place an order with your company." Qin Tian said with a smile.

   "Place an order? What does His Royal Highness need to buy?" Miss Beta Krupp asked in surprise.

   Qin Tian's purchase of the Royal Shipyard is currently only known to a very small number of people.

   "Miss Krupp, I have acquired the Royal Shipyard from the royal family. And it has been renamed Deutschland Shipyard."

   "The Royal Shipyard, the shipyard in Danzig?" Beta Krupp frowned. Royal Shipyard is nothing more than a medium-sized shipyard. This is too small for Miss Beta Krupp.

"His Royal Highness, is this going to get involved in the shipbuilding industry? The steel required by the Royal Shipyard is purchased directly from us. I promise, I will give His Royal Highness the best price." In the view of Beta Krupp, the Royal The shipyard is just a medium-sized shipyard, and it doesn't use much steel every year.

"In this case, that would be the best. It is expected that from the second half of the year, we will officially start building ships. It is estimated that we will need about 80,000 tons of steel, including 20,000 tons of armor steel. What we need is The highest quality armor steel." Qin Tian was very satisfied. So much steel, especially armor steel, requires a lot of money. Miss Beta Krupp can give the most favorable price, which will undoubtedly save him a lot of money.

   "Huh? So much steel? There are 20,000 tons of armor steel?" Miss Beta Krupp was shocked. Obviously she realized that because of her words, Krupp would lose a lot of profits.

   "His Royal Highness, isn't the Royal Shipyard a medium-sized shipyard? Why does it need so much steel?" Miss Beta Krupp asked.

"Yes, Miss Krupp. The Royal Shipyard is indeed only a medium-sized shipyard. However, Deutsche Werft is a large shipyard. After I bought the Royal Shipyard, I invested hundreds of millions of marks in its maintenance. Expansion. So, this shipyard has been reborn." Qin Tian smiled happily. He was very happy to be able to take advantage of a strong business woman like Miss Beta Krupp.

  Miss Beta Krupp nodded, although she lost a lot of profits because of her promise. However, there is still a profit in the end. Moreover, Qin Tian's order quantity is so large, the cooperation between the two parties will definitely not be less in the future. If you establish a long-term cooperative relationship, you will definitely be able to obtain more lucrative profits.

   "His Royal Highness is really generous! You can invest huge sums of money to expand the shipyard. You must be able to succeed in this industry." Ms. Beta Krupp said.

"Miss Krupp, in addition to steel and armor steel, I also hope to order a batch of naval guns from Krupp. This is the design drawing. I believe there is absolutely no big problem for Krupp Yes." From the briefcase, Qin Tian put the blueprint of the triple-mounted 305mm 50-caliber main gun on the coffee table.

  Krupp can be said to be the best artillery manufacturer in Germany. If Qin Tian wants to order a 305mm naval gun, looking for them is the best choice.

   "Naval gun? Triple-mounted 305mm main gun, or fifty times the caliber?" Beta Krupp frowned suddenly.
