Germanic Empire: please call me William III

Liu Chuan still could not rush back to Bai Lin before Christmas.

By the time he arrived in Bailin, it was December 27, 1703.

For him, though, it wasn’t a big deal. He is still a Han Chinese in his bones, and he is not very interested in the festivals of foreigners. Even now he was a foreigner’s face. However, many things in the bones are difficult to change.

After returning to Bailin, Liu Chuan directly asked to see William II.

“Your Majesty, Prince Auguste asks to see you.” Butler Old Jonalet prayed.

“Oh? Did Auguste come back in just a few months? It seems that he really succeeded. William II sighed involuntarily.

“Yes, Father. Auguste’s luck is really good! Crown Prince William said sourly.

So many people in the world are looking for gold, but how many can really find gold?

“Either way, this is a good thing for August, and even for the royal family and the entire empire!” William II said.

Soon, August entered the office.

“Father Emperor, Brother Emperor, I am back!” Liu Chuan smiled and greeted them.

“August, after a few months, I didn’t expect you to really succeed.” William II said.

“Yeah, August. How big are the reserves of the gold mine you found? Crown Prince William asked impatiently.

Liu Chuan hesitated for a moment, then said: “Father Emperor, that gold mine, the preliminary estimated reserves are about three thousand tons!” ”

“What? So much? Both Wilhelm II and Crown Prince William were shocked. Even their breathing couldn’t help but become urgent.

More than three thousand tons of gold, that’s nearly ten billion marks!

You know, the annual revenue of the Germanic Empire is only nine hundred million marks.

The value of the gold mine discovered by Liu Chuan was actually equivalent to the financial revenue of the Germanic Empire for ten years, how could it not shock them?

“In addition to gold, there should be more than ten thousand tons of silver. And more than 30 million tons of copper! Liu Chuan continued.

These two news once again silenced both William II and Crown Prince William.

More than three thousand tons of gold, plus more than ten thousand tons of silver and more than thirty million tons of copper, plus definitely two or three billion. Even if you want to mine these minerals, you need to invest some money upfront.

But compared to the huge benefits, this is simply insignificant. Or rather, enough to describe it as a book of wanli.

“August, you’re such a lucky fellow!” William II said.

The discovery of such a huge fortune by his son made Wilhelm II very happy.

However, Crown Prince William’s eyes were less natural.

In addition to envy, it is more jealousy. Even, there was a hint of panic.

Although he was the wealth of the Germanic Empire, he was the legal heir to the throne.

However, the Western world is a money society, and the role of wealth is very large.

With such a large amount of wealth, Liu Chuan must be able to have great influence. It would even pose a threat to his succession to the throne. This is absolutely unacceptable to Crown Prince William.

“Father Emperor, the next step is to mine the ore and transport it back to China for smelting and refining, and it will take a lot of investment.” We are a family, and I naturally hope that the royal family will be able to invest in me. Of course, if the royal family does not want to, I can only seek help from others. Liu Chuan continued.

Wilhelm II couldn’t help but frown, he was very clever, he understood Liu Chuan’s meaning.

If the royal family is satisfied with the price, Liu Chuan is willing to cooperate with the royal family. If the price cannot satisfy Liu Chuan, Liu Chuan can only seek cooperation from external forces.

After all, in the Germanic Empire, there were still many business giants and consortia.

“August, how can you talk to your father like this?” Don’t forget that you are also a member of the Hohenzollern family. In your body, there is the blood of the Hohenzollern family. You should take the initiative to hand over the ownership of the gold mine to the family and the father to the father. I believe that the Father will not treat you badly!” ”

Crown Prince William immediately jumped out and blamed Liu Chuan.

If the gold mine found by Liu Chuan belonged to the royal family, there would be no threat to him. Even as the crown prince, he was able to share a lot of benefits from it.

William II was also very moved, this is a huge wealth worth two or three billion! The entire property of the entire royal family adds up, and there is not so much money!

However, as an emperor and a father, he naturally could not take the initiative to rob his son’s wealth. How ugly it would be to pass it on!

If Liu Chuan does not agree, and even makes Liu Chuan turn against the royal family, it will be a scandal for the entire royal family.

And now, when Crown Prince William proposes this, it has nothing to do with Wilhelm II.

Wilhelm II also wanted to see what Liu Chuan would choose.
