On April 25th, five days had passed since the meeting with the pilot, and on the 21st, Lin Shangzhou sent an invitation to Sanssouci Palace in the name of Alexandrine, Messerschmidt and Henkel, inviting them to come to Sanssouci Palace on the 25th, that is, Saturday, to introduce Alexandrinse to Alexandrind about the plane.
The Emperor's sudden invitation made the Junkers feel a little inexplicable, and the company she worked for should not be able to enter the Emperor's eyes at all, why would she invite her to Sanssouci Palace?
Then they learned that Alexandrine was interested in airplanes because of her envy of Cecilia, and after learning about this, the three designers quit all their work for the week and left for Berlin early to wait for Saturday.
This is a golden opportunity, if the talks go well, you can get investment from the emperor or the government for your company, even if you can't get this investment, as long as you can reveal the news that the emperor wants to develop aircraft, you can also get investment from other people.
Regardless of the final outcome, it never hurts to meet the Emperor.
The outside media also reported on this incident, but this incident did not cause much turmoil like a pebble thrown into the water, and not many people paid attention to this matter... Except for the people of the Magic Force.
The emperor's invitation to the aircraft designer to visit Sanssouci Palace, coupled with her inspection of the flight unit station some time ago, both of these things revealed a piece of news - Alexandrine has a great interest in aircraft, and she is likely to promote the development of flying machines.
The development of the aircraft was generally a good thing for the German military, which of course was not interested in it, but it was a bad thing for the Magic Force.
However, it is a great pity for them that this time the magic force cannot directly intervene to limit the development of the aircraft as it has done in the past.
In the past, the old emperor Wilhelm II favored the navy, and he also liked the magic force a little, and he didn't care about the flying troops at all, so they could do the kind of thing that was almost a rogue, and the little Empress Alexandrine was not her grandfather, she was now showing an interest in airplanes, and the magic force could not directly intervene in influencing the emperor's thoughts.
Not to mention that it was Alexandrin's envy of Cecilia that she became interested in the plane, did they want to stop the Emperor from letting her study what she was interested in?
Because there was no way to intervene, the magic forces simply gave up their attention to this matter, and the only thing that could be called a cause of concern disappeared after they gave up paying attention.
The social and political circles as well as the military regarded this matter as Alexandrin's personal hobby, an innocuous little thing, and did not take it to heart at all.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Shangzhou stood on the steps outside the Sanssouci Palace and waited for Junkers and others to arrive, he knew that these three people had come to Berlin in advance, but they had invited the three of them to Sanssouci Palace, so there was no need to visit them in advance.
Ten minutes later, he saw three black cars driving into Sanssouci Palace, and when the cars were parked in the open space, Lin Shangzhou walked down the steps and warmly welcomed the arrival of the three aircraft designers.
After some boastful introductions, Lin Shangzhou got to know Junkers, Messerschmidt, and Heinkel, three aircraft designers.
He walked into the palace with the three of them and their secretary, towards the reception room in Sanssouci Palace.
Normally, Alexandrine would receive anyone in her office, but this time there were a little more people, three designers and three secretaries, a total of six people.
Alexandrine and Cecilia sat together, Lin Shangzhou and the three secretaries stood, and they could sit down on the sofa with a squeeze of them, but it was too cold.
Coming to the door of the reception room, Lin Shangzhou knocked on the door, and after getting permission from the Kaiser, he opened the door and walked in, followed by the three Junkers.
The three aircraft designers couldn't help but show some surprise in their eyes when they saw Alexandrine sitting next to Cecilia on the sofa, anyone who saw the emperor of the German Empire was such a girl.
Junkers and the others quickly recovered and introduced themselves to Alexandrin.
After introducing themselves, the three of them sat down, and Lin Shangzhou stood beside Alexandrin.
Alexandrine then began to ask them all sorts of questions about the plane, and Junkers and the others answered Alexandrin's questions in detail.
However, when Alexandrine asked if they were still working on aircraft design, the three of them were silent, and after a few seconds Junkers replied that the work on aircraft design had been put on hold for the time being, and Messerschmidt and Henkel did not speak but nodded.
Their answer disappointed Alexandrine, and Junkers hurriedly took out a design document and accompanying design drawings from the secretary's handbag, saying that he had only shelved the aircraft design at the company level, but that he had not stopped the work personally.
Lin Shangzhou took the document and looked at the content on it and the design drawing of the aircraft, from the design drawing, it seems that Junkers designed a transport aircraft, the model written on the drawing he has not seen, it is not the JU-52 in OTL at this time, but it doesn't matter what type of aircraft he is, this thing is exactly what Lin Shangzhou needs now.
He read the document and handed it to Alexandrin, the Kaiser could read the words on it, and could understand what was drawn on it, but she couldn't understand it when it was combined, so she pretended to look at it a few times and then returned it to Lin Shangzhou.
Messerschmidt and Henkel also came up with their own design drawings one after another, and they are also civil aircraft, but with Junkers' design in front, Lin Shangzhou, the civil aircraft designer of these two, is not very interested.
The most important thing about large transport planes is the engine, which needs to be powerful enough to support the plane to fly to higher altitudes, and Junkers is obviously better than the remaining two.
Therefore, Lin Shangzhou set the investment object at this stage in his heart - Junkers Company.
After deciding on the investment target, he began to draw cakes for the three designers, and the three Junkers were all old fritters, and they praised his cakes on the surface, but in fact they were unmoved.
After painting the cake, Lin Shangzhou talked about the investment plan at the current stage, saying that it was an investment plan, and the money in hand was not enough to support the Junkers company's restart of the aircraft design plan.
Because the benefits of investing in aircraft at this stage can be described as using love to generate electricity, there is no way for Alexandrinne to order Papen to allocate funds to invest in aircraft designers.
At this stage, the only feasible methods are personal investment and bank loans, and Lin Shangzhou really has the money to invest until the profiteering product of the communicator is sold for a period of time.
If you invest in a bank... Lin Shangzhou does not think that the aircraft can earn enough marks for the Junkers company to repay the loan, the Junkers company needs to have orders to make money through the aircraft industry, and there are no airlines in Europe now, and the only airlines that will be in Europe in the next few years will probably be the airlines established by Lin Shangzhou himself after making money.
It cannot be ruled out that other countries will follow the establishment of airlines after seeing Germany develop its aviation industry, but it will take time, it may be a year, it may be two years, it may be three years, anyway, before Junkers really makes money from the aircraft industry, it will have to pay off the loan from other sources out of its own pocket.
Lin Shangzhou also had a headache about this problem, and there was no way to trouble Louis about this matter, he had already taken a lot of empty gloves from Louis, and it would be rude to ask for it again, not to mention that the income in this area is to generate electricity with love.
After painting the second cake, Lin Shangzhou didn't know what to say, and then Cecilia made a suggestion - since she needed to invest, her sister could invest money.
This suggestion opened a breakthrough in the problem, Lin Shangzhou ignored that the largest investor in the aircraft industry is by his side, the Kaiser has money, and there are good reasons to invest in the aircraft industry, and her investment can also play a leading role in driving others to invest in the aircraft industry.
Alexandrinne herself had no opinion on this, and immediately whispered to Lin Shangzhou that he could use her property at will, which made Lin Shangzhou feel strange at the same time.
The Kaiser's exact words were: "If you need it, you can use my property as you please, without my consent."
She wasn't saying that Alexandrin's property was to be used as he pleased, when it mattered to the aircraft designer, but that he could use it as he pleased.
It is equivalent to saying that Alexandrinne handed over the control of the property to him, and of course Lin Shangzhou would not really use the Kaiser's property at will.
With Alexandrin's support, Lin Shangzhou immediately signed an investment contract with Junkers, and the remaining two also showed great enthusiasm, but unfortunately Lin Shangzhou did not plan to have both.
However, Messerschmidt and Heinkel were not very disappointed in their hearts, and once the news of the Kaiser's investment in the Junkers company to design the aircraft was released, they could get a lot of investment.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the Junkers, who had returned with a full load, and the more ineffective Messerschmitt and Henkel left Sanssouci Palace, bringing with them the news that Alexandrine had invested in Junkers to design the aircraft.
This incident has attracted a certain amount of social attention, but most of them are concerned about Alexandrin, who spends a lot of money, thinking that this is the Kaiser paying for his hobbies, and does not think about the impact of this matter in the future.
