Rebirth of the Wealthy American

Westerners are really lazy. Alfred Krupp's father is called Frederick, and then Alfred named his son, also called Frederick.

Frederick later committed suicide because of a **** scandal, leaving only one woman. If he had a son, he might have named his son Alfred.

Er, this is not a mistake. Frederich's daughter married Gustav Krupp, and Gustav Krupp later named his son Alfred.

In short, no waste.

Looking at this family, life is called a savings. The cost accounting has reached the extreme. The two names are used backwards and forwards, and the business cards do not need to be printed too much. Grandpa's business cards can be used directly by grandsons in the future.

Since it was also not involved in the negotiations, Alfred Krupp had enough time to harass Li Mu. From the first day of the negotiations, Alfred Krupp went to Li Mu's governor island.

All the guests are here, Li Mu must smile to welcome each other, and Alfred also intends to associate, so the relationship between the two people is very harmonious, as long as they do not talk about the ongoing negotiations.

However, the bosses of the two large groups sat together, and the two groups were engaged in cooperation negotiations, and negotiations became an insurmountable topic.

"We have mastered the technology of smokeless gunpowder, so we don't need the assistance of Junma Group, we can build a smokeless gunpowder factory by ourselves." Alfred is very contented.

In fact, the technology of smokeless gunpowder is really not esoteric. It is a matter of breaking through a layer of window paper. Smokeless gunpowder has been born for more than a year. With Krupp's technology, it is not difficult to overcome smokeless gunpowder.

The difficulty is the patent authorization. Li Mu had anticipated this situation. So when the development of smokeless powder was successful, Li Mu sent people all over Europe. As long as the countries with the "Patent Law", the legal department of Junma Group all ran. Over and over, Germany also has a Patent Law, so of course Germany will not let it go.

In short, the current situation is that although Krupp has the technology of smokeless gunpowder, but suffers from no patent authorization, so Alfred has to pinch his nose to seek the horse group to request cooperation.

"This seems to be something Henry and Frederick should consider, so let's not get involved." Li Mu didn't want to talk about this issue, and talk about money hurting feelings.

"Do you think we can get around us?" Alfred's words made Li Mu lose his temper.

Yeah, no matter what the results of the negotiation teams of the two groups pop up, Li Mu and Alfred can't be bypassed. The Germans are real, and it doesn't make sense to circle with real people.

Speaking of the fact that the Germans are also false, Li Mu remembered that it should be just a few years ago. It was the Germans who were known as "real" that sold the commission rifles that had nothing to do with the Mauser factory as the Mauser rifles to the Qing Empire. Pitted the Qing Empire.

This time between Krupp's negotiations with the Steed Group, there are conditions related to light weapons. Krupp has always been famous for artillery. The Steed Group's light weapons have now been purchased in the Far East and Europe. These two are naturally complementary. If we can talk down, we can take each other to the next level.

"Well, I believe you do have smokeless gunpowder technology, but that doesn't change anything. The patent transfer fee should still be paid, otherwise the basis of our cooperation will no longer exist. I think in this regard, you The Great Wall should not be self-destructing. "Li Mu did not worry that Alfred would not pay royalties. If Krupp set up a private smokeless powder factory regardless of the bottom line, then the Steed Group could also produce artillery using Krupp technology. This bowl of rice is eaten, no one should think that their own technology is the secret.

Such unique skills are basically non-existent in modern society. Krupp ’s artillery is no longer advanced. In fact, it is not advanced. If Li Mu wants to, he will organize a group of military experts to reverse Krupp ’s artillery technology. It is not difficult to form drawings, and with the hydraulic boost and liquid-gas re-entry technology of Junma Group, Junma Group can produce more advanced artillery.

"Of course not, so we should cooperate." Alfred still does not know that Steed Group has hydraulic boost and liquid-gas re-entry technology, so Alfred is still a little bit envious.

Li Mu also did not intend to tell Alfred about the hydraulic boosting and liquid-gas re-entry technology. The French used this technology to pit the Germans for decades, but the Germans were not vegetarian and could not develop fast guns. Germany People made a fuss about range and power, and the German artillery exhausted the French during World War I.

In the Li Mu plan, Junma Weapons Company will assist German Krupp to build a smokeless gunpowder factory and transfer the corresponding light weapons patents to German Krupp; Germany Krupp will help Junma Weapons Company build an artillery factory. And transfer the corresponding technology of artillery below 200 mm to the Junma Artillery Factory, and ensure that the horse artillery factory has the ability to cast artillery below 200mm.

Krupp still has technical know-how, especially with regard to the barrel and silk-tight body of the artillery. Krupp's technology is world-class. A few years ago, Krupp began to use lock-type locking machines. This new gun technology can better seal the tail of the gun and withstand the huge pressure of gunpowder gas on the bottom of the bore, which is of great significance to improve the range and power of the gun.

This is why Li Mu values ​​Krupp.

It ’s not that Li Mu does n’t want a larger-caliber artillery. It is actually that Junma Weapons Company ca n’t provide the corresponding technology exchange. Li Mu does n’t want to give the hydraulic booster and the liquid-gas re-entry technology to the Germans. The Germans want the patents for electric lights and phones This appetite is too big, and Li Mu will not give it anyway, so Li Mu plans to let the Steed Lab and the US Navy jointly develop artillery with a diameter of 200 mm or more.

The model is of course the Steed Group and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but this time Party A and Party B all lost money. The U.S. Navy paid for it. The Steed Lab researched and the technology developed was owned by the Steed Weapons Company. Corresponding artillery will be provided to the US Navy at a cost price.

It doesn't matter who is taking advantage, and each takes what he needs.

Li Mu has a good relationship with the US Navy. In fact, George Dewey and Mahan are from the navy. Although George Dewey is now under the management of the War Department, George Dewey is still on the roster of admirals. Mahan is now the US Navy. Taishan Beidou, because Mahan is the first "naval expert" in the United States to propose a theory of system, so the US Navy ca n’t wait to take Mahan to the sky, such as "founder of modern naval theory", "father of the US navy" The name "no money" is generally given to Mahan. If it is not too short in American history, Mahan is the "father of the navy" in the world.

When Ma Han was perfecting his "Theory of Sea Power", Li Mu also helped. Ma Han did not forget this, so Ma Han emphasized this in his original "Theory of Sea Power".

However, when the "Sea Power" was published, all the text about Li Mu was deleted.

Li Mu, of course, knows what happened. This is the US Navy's desire to not see a Chinese person who has shared the glory belonging to white people.

Li Mu has no opinion on this, and the navy must be sympathetic, so this cooperation is very promising.

"Regarding electric lamps and telephones, if technology transfer is impossible, but the two of us can jointly set up a company to produce electric lamps and telephones for the European market. This must have been mentioned in previous contacts. What do you mean? "Li Mu had retained one hand from the beginning, giving Rose Company the right to sell in the UK, plus at most one France. In this way, Li Mu had room to toss in Europe.

Just in October last year, with the help of Bismarck, the "Iron Prime Minister", the Emperor of the German Empire formed a "Three Emperors Alliance" with the Emperors of Russia and Austria. Through the alliance, Germany achieved the goal of isolating and weakening France. Russia strengthened its strength against Britain in the Central Asian region and security guarantees in the western frontiers, which eased the conflict between Russia and Austria in the Balkans at that time.

What surprised Bismarck is that Russia and Austria have irreconcilable contradictions on the Balkan issue. Therefore, it is impossible for Bismarck to force the cooperation between Russia and Austria to last. Therefore, the term of the "three imperial alliances" is only three years. Germany joined the "Three Emperors League", originally intended to contain and isolate France, but this action made the Russians feel uneasy, so after the second Three Emperor League deadline, the Russians triggered the Bulgarian crisis, which eventually led to The "Three Emperors Alliance" completely disintegrated, and in the First World War, the former allies fought.

According to Li Mu's vision, the Steed Group should also reach an agreement with Krupp. The Steed Group and Krupp will jointly establish the Steed-Krupp company in Munich, Germany, to produce electric lamps and telephones for sale in continental Europe. Still using technology to take shares, occupying 51% of the shares, Krupp's capital contribution should be at least 35 million gold marks, which is equivalent to about 10 million US dollars, accounting for 49% of the shares.

If according to the analysis of the value of Rose's shares, Krupp took a big advantage. They only paid 10 million US dollars, but they occupied nearly 100 million US dollars of shares. However, the Germans have a geographical advantage in Europe. Responsible for selling electric lights and phones, so it's not too expensive.

You must know that the essence of European continent is in Britain and France. Which other countries, such as Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, are already yellow. Yesterday, Germany was just unified. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was half dead with the sign of "Europe Sick Man". There is not much market.

From a comprehensive analysis, it is still the Steed Group, which is the advantage of mastering the core technology. As long as the Steed Group has been leading the technology, no one can shake the Steed Group's supremacy.
