Chapter Ninety-Eight: An Agreement is Reached

Gustav? Krupp was completely shocked, and in his opinion, after the establishment of the Deutsche Arms Company, it must be possible to make money. In particular www.biquge.info if a breakthrough can really be made in light weapons, then with Qin Tian's influence, the German Army will inevitably purchase weapons produced by them in large quantities. This undoubtedly means huge profits. And now, Qin Tian was actually willing to share this part of the profits with them, which was completely beyond their expectations.

"Your Royal Highness, do you mean that Krupp can take a stake in Deutsche Arms?" Gustav? Krupp asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"Yes, Mr. Krupp. I would like to share the shares of Deutsche Arms with Krupp. Qin Tian smiled.

Gustav? Krupp took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then said: "Your Royal Highness, this is our honor!" ”

For Gustav? Krupp would agree, but Qin Tian was not surprised. That's how it would have been, as long as Gustav? If Krupp's head was not caught in the door, he would not have refused to partner with him. It's a sure-fire deal!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can we cooperate?" Gustav? Krupp asked. In his opinion, even if Krupp loses a little later, this is acceptable.

"Mr. Krupp, Deutsche Industrie AG has a stake in cash, and Krupp AG has a stake in technology. Although, light weapons are not what Krupp is good at. But I believe that you also have a certain amount of technical accumulation in this regard. I should be fully capable of developing the few weapons I have designed. Qin Tian said.

For Qin Tian to be able to design weapons for the army, Gustav? Krupp was not surprised. Perhaps in his eyes, Qin Tian has long been synonymous with genius. Not only a business genius, but also a genius in shipbuilding. Isn't the army's weapons also a piece of cake for Qin Tian?

Gustav? Krupp nodded, and it was completely acceptable for Krupp to invest in technology.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in the Deutsche Arms Company, how much shares can Krupp have?" Gustav? Krupp asked. In business, since the two sides are going to cooperate, then, Gustav? Naturally, Krupp wanted to make more profits.

"Mr. Krupp, Deutsche Arms Company, Deutsche Industrie AG invested 100 million marks, with a 70 percent stake. What do you think of the fact that Krupp has a 30% stake in technology? Qin Tian asked.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, 30 percent of the shares is too little. In addition to technology, Krupp invested another 50 million marks to increase its stake to 50 percent. "Gustav? Krupp said. As Germany's largest arms giant, Krupp's profits are also very impressive. This makes them also very abundant in terms of funds.

Qin Tian shook his head, although he agreed to partner with the Krupp Company, it did not mean that he was going to give up his control of the German Arms Company. Qin Tian hoped that this arms company was completely in his hands, and did not want any more problems in the future.

"Mr. Krupp, fifty percent of the shares, that's impossible. I want to be in control of this arms company. I'm sure you don't want anyone to take control of Krupp either, right? Qin Tian said with a smile. If everyone can't talk about this issue, Qin Tian would even rather give up cooperating with Krupp.

Gustav? Krupp nodded, in fact, his offer to ask for fifty percent of the shares was just a test for Qin Tian. Now it seems that Qin Tian's attitude on the issue of the company's holding is undoubtedly relatively tough. Well, naturally, there is no need to say anything more on this issue.

"Alright, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Krupp is willing to take 40 percent of the shares of Deutsche Arms with technology and 30 million marks. "Gustav? Krupp chose to give in.

Qin Tian nodded, giving up forty percent of the shares, and he still had sixty percent of the shares in his hands, which was already complete control of the company. Although, a lot of profits will be lost because of this. However, he didn't care about that.

"Mr. Krupp, may we have a happy cooperation!" Qin Tian raised the wine glass on the table. Crimson liquor, echoing in the glass.

"Happy working together!" Gustav? Krupp had a smile on his face.

"Ding!" The two glasses slammed together with a crisp sound. This also means that Qin Tian has further cooperation with the Krupp company and the Krupp family. Even if it is for their own future interests, the Krupp family will fully support Qin Tian.

"Mr. Krupp, Deutsche Arms wants to share in the profits from light weapons, which will inevitably provoke a full backlash from Mauser and Rheinmetall. After all, they regard the light weapons of the army as their forbidden body. On this issue, I am afraid, the Krupp family needs to coordinate it. Qin Tian said.

Gustav? Krupp nodded, Mauser and Rheinmetall were undoubtedly the largest suppliers of light weapons to the German army. These two arms companies, although not as good as Krupp, are equally important in Germany. The weapons they produce are also exported overseas. They also have a huge influence in Germany and in the military. If they strongly oppose the German Arms Company, the development of the German Arms Company will inevitably be difficult.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with His Highness's influence and the ability of the Krupp Company, can completely resist their counterattack. I don't think that's a problem. "Gustav? Krupp said.

He had already guessed that after becoming a shareholder of Deutsche Arms, he would definitely need to make a contribution. Otherwise, Qin Tian would not have offered to cooperate with Krupp. After all, Qin Tian could go it alone. Qin Tian had enough funds in his hands, and as for the technicians, they could also be easily found. No matter how bad it is, you can also dig into the corners of other companies. Now it seems that the reason why Qin Tian cooperated with Krupp was to deal with the pressure of Mauser and Rheinmetall.

To this, Gustav? Krupp, of course, will not refuse. Krupp has also been a competitor to Mauser and Rheinmetall. The Krupp company has also long coveted the profits of small arms and wants to enter this field. However, due to the boycott of Mauser and Rheinmetall, it has not been able to succeed. Now, they finally have the opportunity to enter the field.
