"You make it difficult for me, the Krupp family is a friend of the Empire, we used Krupp's artillery to win three dynastic wars until the unification of Germany was finally achieved, and today, because of you and your family, we must punish Krupp! You are persecuting the Empire! "As Prince Heinrich said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in a bad mood these days, and as soon as Ruprecht met, he could feel a strong anger.

"Aren't we friends now? Do you think that when Krupp is playing small tricks under the table, we should tolerate it and then you will be satisfied? Krupp did contribute to the strength of Germany, but that was in the past. And now, it is hindering the progress of the empire, and he is using the trust given by the royal family to make money for himself, fight competitors, and harm the interests of the empire! Prince Ruprecht asked rhetorically.

"You are a person who is good at taking advantage of the situation, you can always stand on the side of the so-called righteousness, and obtain benefits in the name of the empire, judging from what you do, what is the difference between you and Krupp? You're more of a businessman than a prince! What's even more terrifying is that behind you is a kingdom where we can control Krupp, but not you! Crown Prince William's words were blunt and a little harsh!

"We learned from the Hohenzollerns, you took a stake in large corporations early on, and you got a share of them, and in the beginning the Prussian royal family also had a number of enterprises and shipyards, whether it was the Germania shipyard, the Royal Wilhelm shipyard, or the factories that originally belonged to you but were later sold to Mauser. The Prussian royal family used to have huge enterprises in its hands, and you can't do it yourself, who is to blame for this? If you want to start a business, you were much earlier than us, and now you are complaining that we are coming? ”

Ruprecht's answer was also unambiguous. You can't be cowardly at this time! What if there is a big fight? Can William still make his list yellow? There are conditions for being low-key, and blindly withdrawing is not enough. Now everyone is almost equal to a secret meeting. I can't get the word out, and I'm not afraid of losing face.

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, won't it be because of these things that Chen Sesame rotten grains are going to meet, everyone should look at the money, and it would be good to cooperate." Don't wait for Prince William to speak. Ruprecht decisively changed the subject. I've been delayed for too long, and this matter should be resolved.

"We originally planned to sell the Germania shipyard to Krupp, but now it seems that he does not have the ability to take over this company, are you interested in cooperating?" Wilhelm II didn't talk nonsense anymore, it was important to get down to business first.

Bavaria's behavior has set a good example for the Prussian royal family, originally the Hohenzollern family also had a lot of factories, but it was disposed of because of poor management or other reasons, resulting in a serious loss of state-owned assets, and now, the Hohenzollern family thinks that the royal family can also do a good job of owning the factory, look at Bavaria, it's only been a few years? How big is it? I didn't do a good job back then, it was all because of the manager's problem! Since the Hohenzollerns could sell their factories to private individuals, they could also run them in cooperation with the Bavarian crown. It's always nice to hold it in your own hands.

"Holy, I'm feeling a lot of pressure!" Ruprecht couldn't help wiping a cold sweat, what is the most worrying thing as a person in the system? Naturally, you will encounter an opponent who is even higher than your own system! The Bavarian royal family was loud enough in the Empire. But compared to the Kaiser, it is still much worse.

"How to divide it? One and a half? We run and manage it, and you provide the hardware and people. Ruprecht gave his opinion.

"What do you think? We provided all the equipment, machinery and labor, and half of one person? We'll give you up to 30%! Up to that! ”

"Thirty percent is too little, and our help to run your shipyard will definitely have an impact on the Brom-Forss shipyard, at least four percent, otherwise there is no need to talk about it!" Ruprecht was very upset. There is no one to take over the Germania shipyard, I will help you solve the difficulties, and you will only give thirty percent? With so much effort, I might as well continue to develop the original shipyard.

"Otherwise, you originally planned to sell it to Krupp, but we bought it, you can make a price for how much, don't tell me that you can sell it to Krupp, but you can't sell it to us. The Habsburg royal family and we have only half of the shares. Sixty percent of you and forty percent of us are already the limit. And the management rights must be in our hands. Ruprecht didn't budge.

"You mean we can only take money, right?" Wilhelm II frowned.

"It turns out that the shipyard was operating very ordinarily before, and even didn't get much money, don't you want to thank me for helping you revitalize the royal assets?" Ruprecht pouted.

"What about friendship? What about good friendships? Aren't we friends? For the sake of the friendship between the two kingdoms, can't you back down? The crown prince roared.

"My brother still has to settle accounts. Besides, you can't give up a little benefit to the friends who help you solve the problem? Ruprecht sneered.

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides is relatively strong, but in general, the general trend of cooperation is overwhelming, and the final result is that the German central government accounts for 6 percent, and the Bavarian royal family accounts for 4 percent. In addition to Prussia's own assets, there are also some other investors' capitals, so in general, the Prussian royal family and the Bavarian royal family are almost the largest shareholders.

This also opened the prelude to the cooperation between the Prussian and Bavarian royal families, which gradually penetrated into the fields related to the domestic economic lifeline and new industries in the wave of "nationalization" of German industry. Even encountered a counterattack from private capital in the process of infiltration.

There are mixed reviews in the history of this movement, but one thing is certain is that a special form of "state-owned economy" was later found to have various drawbacks, but under certain historical conditions, it strengthened the state's control over the economy, and at some special moments, this strong control played a very important role in increasing the country's industrial capacity and avoiding economic crises.

Of course, these are all for later, but after the conclusion of negotiations with Wilhelm II, Prince Ruprecht spent the next few days counting his receipts for the trip. He suddenly found that this "mouth cannon is really worth it!" "Not only did it squeeze Krupp out of the naval artillery field, but it also opened the door to cooperation with the Prussian royal family, and although the benefits would be divided, it would still be worth it relative to the huge benefits, because there were some things that Ruprecht could not eat now!

I'm going to push it up next week, and I'll be on the shelves next Friday~~~, all capable book friends, is it convenient to give a first order?? Thank you all here~~~.
