Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

“Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You all know how much it cost me to find this gold mine, but I gambled my life. Now, I’ve got away with it. And, having discovered a huge gold mine, are you going to do this to me? Liu Chuan looked angry.

Wilhelm II’s expression suddenly became a little unnatural. As a father and an emperor, it is indeed a bit humiliating to want to rob his son’s wealth.

Crown Prince William, on the other hand, was even more angry.

“Auguste, no quibbles. At the end of the day, you’re still selfish. You are a member of the Hohenzollern family. It is because of this that you are a noble prince. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the chance to look for gold. You should be grateful, grateful to the Hohenzollern family, grateful to the empire. The Empire is now in need of money, and you should donate all this wealth to the Empire! Crown Prince William continued to say brazenly.

He was planning to do everything possible to confiscate Liu Chuan’s wealth. Only then will there be no threat to him.

Liu Chuan did not say much, but looked at Wilhelm II, waiting for his decision.

Of course, if Wilhelm II thought the same way, then he would never agree.

Wilhelm II, although emperor of the Germanic Empire, held great power.

However, in Western countries, the emperor is not a one-liner.

Wilhelm II was also very contradictory, he naturally hoped that Liu Chuan would take the initiative to hand over the gold mine. However, Liu Chuan was obviously unwilling, which made him very disappointed and even more dissatisfied with Liu Chuan.

However, Wilhelm II did not think of forcibly confiscating the gold mines discovered by Liu Chuan. In that case, it is not only father and son who cannibalize. Even, if it gets out, it will be a major blow to his reputation.

“Auguste, since you discovered the gold mine, you gambled everything for it. Well, it’s up to you to arrange! Wilhelm II said.

“But, Father…” Crown Prince William was immediately anxious.

However, it was stopped by Wilhelm II.

Wilhelm II also knew Crown Prince William’s thoughts, but he didn’t want Crown Prince William to completely tear his face with Liu Chuan.

When Liu Chuan saw such a situation, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Father, I am a member of the Hohenzollern family, and I am willing to contribute my part to the royal family and the empire. Gold mining, as well as safety, there is still a lot to rely on the empire. I am willing to hand over ten percent of the shares of August Mining Company to the royal family free of charge! Liu Chuan said.

“Only ten percent? Hum! Crown Prince William looked disdainful.

Wilhelm II nodded.

Ten percent of the shares may not seem like much, but the entire gold mine is mined, which is equivalent to two or three billion marks, which is already a lot of wealth. Even compared to the value of all the royal family’s assets combined, it is not much less.

“Auguste, after your gold, silver and copper mines are shipped back home, they need to be smelted. Since this is the case, there is no need to cheap outsiders. The royal family owned a large smelter in Hamburg. I can call the shots and transfer the smelter to August Mining. And you need to give another ten percent of the royal family’s shares! Wilhelm II continued.

Liu Chuan thought for a while, and then shook his head: “Father, ten percent of the shares is too much. You should know the value of that gold mine. In this way, the mining of gold also requires a large amount of money for the purchase of various machinery and equipment for mining ore, as well as the construction of mines, the construction of railways and ports, the purchase of cargo ships, and so on. Large smelters, plus a capital of 100 million marks, in exchange for ten percent of the shares! ”

After all, Liu Chuan still didn’t want to be too stiff with Wilhelm II, and it was already very cost-effective to pay 20% of the shares in exchange for the safety of the royal family and even the entire empire for the safety of the gold mines.

Otherwise, if other countries covet gold mines, or even directly grab them, then he will have no way.

“Deal!” Wilhelm II accepted this condition.

Subsequently, the lawyer drew up a contract. Wilhelm II and Liu Chuan both signed their names on the contract.

Western countries attach importance to the spirit of contract and renew respect for contracts in business.

Of course, this is only on the bright side. In private, I will still try my best to find loopholes.

As for treaties between countries, they are even more a dead letter. If it is not strong enough, the treaty is completely equivalent to waste paper.

As the saying goes, treaties are meant to be torn up, and it says it all.

The value of Liu Chuan’s August mining company has skyrocketed to two billion marks. Liu Chuan’s personal wealth alone reached 1.6 billion marks. You know, Liu Chuan’s total investment is only five million marks.

In just a few months, it has skyrocketed by three hundred and twenty times.

And with the continuous mining of gold, silver and copper mines in the future, the value of August will become higher and higher. And Liu Chuan’s net worth will also skyrocket.
