After explaining his arrangements to Kong Ze, Charles called Viscount Lautrec back, and everyone walked to the table to enjoy the lunch that had finally been prepared.

Lunch is not rich, it is said to be a country meal, but in fact it is just some country game, but these people are not particularly particular about eating and drinking, so they will be ready to go casually - of course, in any case, wine must not be missing.

"Alex, you are the first person I persuaded in the 6th Army, and it only took me half a day to convince." As he spoke, Charles put a piece of partridge meat into his mouth, "It's a good start, and I hope it will be the same in the future." ”

"Don't leave anything to chance, sir." Viscount Lautrec replied coldly, "The reason why I was able to agree with you so quickly is only because I am an outsider in arms procurement, so I can objectively and neutrally evaluate the superiority of this weapon." You would be naïve to think that other people, people who really speak well in this matter, will be so eloquent. ”

"Oh, of course I won't, I've got enough patience." Charles smiled and replied, "Anyway, it's always the beginning of our success, come on, cheers!" ”

After he lifted his glass, Alex, Albert, and Kong Ze, who had been silent next to him, all picked up the glasses, and everyone shook their hands as toasts, and then each took a sip of wine.

"Now that we have samples, let's make a few hundred in small batches, so that it will be convenient for the 6th Army to conduct small-scale trials at that time." After drinking, Charles reopened his mouth. "Albert, I'm sorry for you."

"Huh?" Albert didn't get it.

"It's not just about making weapons, especially when you have to do them in batches. This requires specialized factories and workshops to make zuò. Charles patiently explained, "So, I need you to invest." Besides, my identity is very sensitive, so I can't just say that I want to recommend my own products to the army, so the perception of the outside world will be too bad. ”

After a pause, he lowered his voice again. "Albert, don't be afraid, just go for the investment. I'm not going to cheat you. I will definitely let the 6 military use this new firearm no matter what, although it is only used to make a few hundred now, but there will be hundreds of thousands of millions in the future, and it will definitely not lose you. ”

It would be impossible to sell millions of guns alone. But when the time comes, you can change the production of other models.

"Poof......" Albert couldn't help but laugh. Charles, don't be so solemn, why should I worry about you? Besides, even if I really have to lose some, anyway, I've already earned so much from you, it's a big deal to lose a little more, okay, I'll go back and do it. But. Where is the place? ”

"Place in Giverny, you know. Charlotte had a plot of land there and built a steel mill. You just put the munitions factory there, and then you just get steel from there. ”

The first phase of the Giverny-owned steel mill owned by Charles and Charlotte has now been completed after a long period of construction, and the original blast furnace has begun to produce steel, and the Ministry of Railways, which is controlled by the remnants of the Charles, soon placed an order for the plant to continuously inject more rails and steel plates into the railway construction in France. Because there are still outsiders in the relationship, of course, the two of them can't talk about this matter in detail, but Albert obviously understands it.

"Oh, okay, so be it." Albert nodded, indicating that he had understood, "I'll find someone to recruit people when I go back, anyway, there are a lot of workers and engineers who build railways under our hands now, and a little higher salary should be able to dig a few." ”

"Very well, then please, just do it." Charles was very pleased with Albert's cleverness, and after all, he was very busy himself, so many times he could only give directions on the route, and Albert was able to think of the means of execution and completion on his own, which saved him a lot of effort.

Charles then turned his gaze to Viscount Lautrec, which was a bit harsh and uncomfortable.

"You can continue to discuss these things, don't worry about me, I don't want to hear it." As if sensing something wrong in his heart, he hurriedly explained, "We said okay, I will only express my support for your idea for the sake of the 6 officers and soldiers, and I have no intention of participating in your planning, and I have no intention of seeking undue benefits for myself in this way......"

"My dear friend, what are your words!" Charles shouted exaggeratedly, and although his tone was very kind, his smile always seemed to be full of mockery, "This thing must be done with your help, shouldn't we show it?" No, it's only natural to receive a reward for good deeds, and besides, as our people, you should have a share, and you must have a share, right? ”

"When did I become one of yours?" Viscount Lautrec immediately wanted to turn his face, but when he met Charles's gaze, the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.

It's best if you want it, and if you don't want it, you have to ask for it, otherwise you will have to bear the consequences—his eyes have given the answer unmistakably.

After frowning for a moment, Viscount Lautrec jerked up his glass and poured himself a glass of wine, and then replied as if to self-defeating, "Well, well, damn it, whatever you want, and I wish you a good mood, Monsieur de Treville." ”

"Isn't it okay to call me Charles? Don't have this kind of boring insistence at this time, we are our own people, Alex. Charles smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Then it's settled, Albert and I invested in the arsenal, and then you can be counted as a shareholder in it...... Of course, it's a secret, and hopefully it puts you in a good mood. ”

Charles looked at Alex with a smile, admiring the way the other party dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Sending money so unwillingly that Charles felt a little guilty...... At the same time, a malicious pleasure flashed in his heart.

"How? Since everyone has no problem, let's talk about the issue of capital contribution and equity distribution, my personal opinion is that the more things are laid out clearly, the fewer obstacles will be encountered in the future, and even friends should settle the accounts clearly - or because they are friends, they must settle the accounts clearly, and I am sure you will agree with me. ”

In this way, between the cups and the lamps, under the leadership of Charles, the three young people took advantage of the wine to finalize the plan to build an arsenal in the future at the table.

Even Charles the Traveler certainly couldn't predict what the seed he had sown on this seemingly casual occasion would grow into a future that had already been altered. However, he will do his best to fertilize, water, and remove insects from this seed in the future...... Until she blooms with the most beautiful brilliance, no matter how much blood and water is needed to accompany this brilliance, he will not hesitate to do it.

The three of them were not particularly calculating people, plus one was a good friend, and the other didn't matter in the first place, so they didn't cause much trouble to the "negotiations", and soon everyone discussed these capital details.

"By the way, what should this gun be called? De-Foa-Grassy? Or is it called a Trevill-style rifle? After discussing the commercial issues more or less were, Albert suddenly considered with interest the question of how to name the new rifle, "Or let's just be romantic, let's call it the Charlotte rifle, in honor of your good lady - well, that sounds like a good name?" ”

"I don't need such a fancy name, it's not good at all." In a calm tone, Charles ruthlessly shattered the young man's romantic fantasies, "Since the factory is going to be located in Giverny, let's simply call it the Giverny Type 185O rifle, everyone can understand it as soon as you hear it, and it also has commemorative significance, isn't it?" ”

"What a tasteless name...... Albert couldn't help but sigh. Can't it be fun? ”

"As long as it's easy to use." Viscount Lautrec next to him helped Charles, he didn't like the frivolous Albert, so he didn't give it any goodness, "The army doesn't care about names. Besides, those soldiers are going to fight with guns, and if there is a slight problem with the guns, they will curse, and then you want to see your last name scolded? ”

Seeing that there was no support, Albert had no choice but to retract his mention in a daze.

In this way, the first fist product of the future famous Giverny Arsenal, the Giverny 185O rifle, was born at the table.

And in the corner of the dining table, Kong Ze, who had not spoken, also watched this scene quietly.

Although he was still very calm and calm on the surface, his heart was already turbulent.

While talking and laughing, his boss gave the other party a great benefit, and although the person felt troublesome, he felt greedy.

Once again, he felt how generous this person could be in times of need, as long as the other person was useful.

And this qiē, he witnessed it himself at the dinner table.

What does this mean?

This means that in the eyes of this person, he is trustworthy.

This is more of a hint that as long as you work hard enough to be useful, then you too can be one of us, a real one.

Kong Ze would not misinterpret this hint and definitely did not want to miss it.

To express oneself useful...... Then you must not mess up any of the tasks.

Wait, crumbs!

Under the dining table, he clenched his fists, as if he wanted to use this fist to knock many people's heads. (To be continued!)
