Chapter 12 New Battleship (for collection)
William II glanced at Crown Prince William with a blank expression on his face. William II was somewhat dissatisfied with his crown prince. As the crown prince, the crown prince of the empire, but his mind is too narrow, there is no room for others. Even if you are jealous of your own younger brother, do you expect him to treat others well?
Essen von Jonareit couldn't help feeling tense.
"Your Majesty, Karl also has 20% of the shares in His Highness's company, and has obtained 10% of the income. The minister can donate this part of the income to the royal family for free." Karl von Jonalet said hastily .
Although, giving up so much wealth made his heart feel like he was bleeding. However, in order to show his loyalty and to preserve his status, he had to say this.
However, Essen von Jonareit was also very dissatisfied with Crown Prince William. In his opinion, Crown Prince William clearly said this on purpose out of jealousy.
"Essen, Oscar, and Carl, it is very rare to think of contributing 20% of the profits to the royal family. After all, this is their industry. As an example of the empire, how can the royal family make such a move to seize other people's property?" What's the matter? However, for the sake of Oscar's filial piety, I will accept the 20% profit." Crown Prince William said indifferently.
It is impossible to be indifferent to the huge profits of Qin Tian's German Welfare Lottery Company. But Wilhelm II did not want the stigma of a man who took his own children's estate. What's more, the annual income of 50 million marks is already very good, which is already equivalent to a battleship. It is already a surprise to be able to obtain such a profit.
"Your Majesty is wise." Essen von Jonalet said hastily.
Crown Prince William's face was blue and white. Crown Prince William's decision just now was undoubtedly a blow to him. Obviously, William II was very dissatisfied with his performance just now.
But Crown Prince William didn't think it was his fault, but thought his proposal was very correct. Qin Tian is just an ordinary prince, why do he need so much money? As the Crown Prince of the German Empire, it was time when he needed money. If Qin Tian knew how to do it, he should donate the money to the royal family and himself.
Of course, Crown Prince William can only bury such thoughts deeply in his heart and dare not express them. Otherwise, William II will definitely be more dissatisfied with him.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Oscar is worried that after seeing the profits of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery, some greedy guys will do everything possible to plunder their company. Therefore, I hope that His Majesty can provide them with protection." Essen von Jonalet said .
William II nodded. Of course, he is very clear about the virtues of the capitalists in the country.
"I knew that kid would not share so much profit for nothing. However, for the sake of building one more battleship a year, the royal family came forward to help them solve those guys." William II said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen von Jonneret breathed a sigh of relief. If the royal family came forward, those capitalists would naturally give them some face. In this case, the German Welfare Lottery Company will naturally be safe. And their profits will naturally be preserved.
"Essen, tell Oscar for me that at Christmas, go back to the palace to attend the banquet." William II said.
Now, his perception of Qin Tian has undergone a huge change. Before, he thought that Qin Tian was a playboy who was ignorant and only wanted to have fun. But unexpectedly, Qin Tian still has a very high talent in business. In addition, Qin Tian was also very loyal to the royal family and the empire, which was undoubtedly what his father and the emperor wanted to see.
As for the ban he issued earlier to prohibit Qin Tian from returning to the palace, he naturally forgot about it.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Essen von Jonalet nodded. Qin Tian was also very happy to be able to regain the attention of William II. After all, his son Karl and Qin Tian are almost bound together.
After hearing this, Crown Prince William's expression became even uglier. Although, he didn't think Qin Tian would pose any threat to his succession to the throne. However, this has already made him feel a little crisis.
Although in European countries, there is very little change of inheritance rights, as long as the heir does not die young or commit any treachery, otherwise, the inheritance rights are very stable. However, Crown Prince William didn't want his younger brother to perform better than his older brother. He believes that these younger brothers should be the green leaves of the foil.
The royal family stated in private that the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company is the property of the royal family, which made countless capitalists staring at this piece of fat, after careful consideration, had to give up their coveted hearts. Although the German Welfare Lottery Company is very profitable, it is undoubtedly very unwise to carry it with the royal family for this.
After Qin Tian got the news, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Now that the crisis has been resolved, he can use the huge profits made by the Deutsche Welfare Lottery to do other things. His plan can proceed in an orderly manner.
Handing over the main business of the company to Karl, Qin Tian locked himself in the office to perfect his ideal battleship shooting.
After being reborn in this world, Qin Tian has already started research on related aspects. As a military enthusiast, Qin Tian collected a lot of weapon models, aircraft tanks and warships in his previous life. Among the warships, there are not only battleships, but also aircraft carriers.
In this era, the battleship is undoubtedly a well-deserved capital ship, just like the aircraft carrier of later generations. There are only a few countries in the world that have the ability to build battleships. Among them, the top countries are undoubtedly only the United Kingdom and Germany.
"Calculating the time, the British battleship 'Dreadnought', the design drawings should be completed and shot. Next year, it can be approved. Then the construction will be completed within one year. The service of this battleship will set off a revolution. All the old-fashioned battleships before will become obsolete due to the birth of the "Dreadnought" battleship. Among them, it naturally includes 4 "Brandenburg-class" battleships and 5 "Kaiser-class" battleships of the German Navy. Friedrich III class' battleships, 5 'Witchersbach class' battleships, 5 'Brunschweig class' battleships and 5 'Deutschland class' battleships."
