Germanic Empire: please call me William III

“Father, Emperor, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince.” You all know how much I paid to find this gold mine, but I bet my whole life. Now, I’ve made it a fluke. And, having discovered a huge gold mine, are you going to do this to me? Liu Chuan’s face was angry.

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

Crown Prince William, on the other hand, was even angrier.

“August, no need to argue. At the end of the day, you’re still selfish. You are a member of the Hohenzollern family. It is precisely because of this that you are a noble prince. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had a 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 of this wealth to the Empire! Crown Prince William continued cheekily.

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

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

Of course, if Wilhelm II had thought the same thing, he would never have agreed.

Although Wilhelm II was Emperor of the Germanic Empire, he held great power.

However, in Western countries, the emperor is not a one-size-fits-all.

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

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

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

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

However, it was stopped by William II.

Wilhelm II also knew Crown Prince William’s thoughts, but he did not 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 Emperor, I am a member of the Hohenzollern family, and I am willing to contribute my share to the royal family and the empire. The mining of gold mines, as well as the safety, there are still many places to rely on the Empire. I am willing to give ten percent of the shares of Auguste Mining Company to the royal family free of charge! Liu Chuan said.

“Only ten percent? Hum! Crown Prince William had a look of disdain on his face.

William 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 great fortune. Even more, the value of all the properties of the royal family is now no less than the sum of them.

“August, your gold, silver, and copper mines need to be smelted when they are shipped back home. Since this is the case, there is no need to be a cheap outsider. The royal family owned a large smelter in Hamburg. I can decide to transfer the smelter to August Mining. And you need to give another ten percent stake to the royal family! William II continued.

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

After all, Liu Chuan still did not want to be too stiff with William II, and it was already a good deal to pay twenty percent of the shares in exchange for the security of the royal family and even the entire empire for the gold mine.

Otherwise, once other countries covet gold mines, or even directly rob gold mines, then how can he not do anything.

“Deal!” Wilhelm II accepted this condition.

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

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

Of course, this is only on the surface. Privately, I still try my best to find loopholes.

As for the treaties between states, that is even more empty paper. If it is not strong enough, then the treaty is exactly equivalent to waste paper.

As the famous saying goes, the treaty was used to tear it up, and it says all this.

Liu Chuan’s August Mining Company has soared to two billion marks in value. Liu Chuan’s personal wealth alone has reached 1.6 billion marks. You know, Liu Chuan’s total investment is only five million marks.

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

And, with the continuous exploitation 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 soar.
