PS: Today's second update!

After getting Sickert, Contini breathed a sigh of relief: just as the procurement of materials and equipment with the six major groups, it is also a good breakthrough to talk about the joint development of equipment with Germany, and without the National Socialist Party, it may not be possible to say it so bluntly, he can't help but applaud his wit - now that he is becoming more and more proficient in blackmail, this should not be Italy's racial talent, right?

Early the next morning, he was just about to tell Hitler the good news that he was safe and sound, but Antonio walked in: "Young master, I just received a call from the ambassador, saying that the French ambassador wants to see you. ”

"French?" Contini paused for a moment, although yesterday he kept clamoring to stab the French at Sicket, but in fact he did not get angry with the French at all, and could not help asking, "What are the French looking for me?" ”

"I don't know......," Antonio said, "or shall I be approached first, and then there will be room for manoeuvre?" ”

"Forget it, let's go to prison in the afternoon."

The French ambassador had come accompanied by the Italian ambassador, and after a lot of nonsense, he finally got to the point when Contini was feeling impatient.

"I heard that the United Group has purchased a large number of German equipment and products?"

Pretty fast news? From which link did it slip through? Contini was a little puzzled, but nodded slightly: "There are indeed some ......"

"Oh, why don't you consider sourcing from us?" The ambassador smiled and said, "Our offer is much cheaper than that of these oligarchs." ”

"This ......" Contini smiled awkwardly, "French equipment may not be, it may not be cheap, and my other industries are German standards, and French goods are ......"

Britain, France, and Germany, as the three major European powers, have independent and complete industrial systems, and the degree of standardization is also very high, but this standardization is not universal, and the simplest weights and measures cannot be unified - Britain uses imperial units, Germany and France are metric units, and other processes and processes are also very different, so Contini's idea of establishing a joint group at the beginning is clear - take the German road.

"No, you're mistaken, I'm not here to sell French products, I'm talking about German goods in our warehouse." The ambassador blinked, "In order to offset the reparations, we have a lot of German goods in our warehouses that have been removed from the Ruhr area, and we can sell them to you at a low price if you need them." ”

"But they're fragmented, they're not matched, they're lacking information, and they may be thrift ......"

"We know that, so it's ridiculously cheap." The ambassador smiled, "For $3 million, it's all yours...... What we put there is just a pile of scrap metal. ”

Antonio's face was full of shock, he knew that the French had dismantled a lot of machine tools, production lines and equipment, only 3 million dollars?

"You can go to France and see if it's worth it." When the ambassador said this, he suddenly changed his words and said in a low voice, "If you fancy something from a factory in the Ruhr area, as long as the price is negotiated, we will dismantle it for you!" ”

The Italian ambassador next to him was smiling and sipping coffee, but when he heard this, he was suddenly stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a long time, so he quickly got up and went out to inspect the surrounding scenery - what an embarrassing negotiation this is, how can the French be similar to robbers and thieves?

Contini narrowed his eyes and smiled: It seems that the French have indeed paid a lot in sending troops to the Ruhr area but have gained little, and now they are thinking about a way to get out, but the French are also thieves, and they have to trap the Germans before leaving.

"So, really?"

"Of course, what you want, what we give you, first to France, and then from France to Italy, guaranteed that there will be no less things!"

"Okay, thank you very much!" Contini smiled, "We'll look at the $3 million in a few days, and if it's correct, I'm sure I'll agree." ”

The French ambassador stretched out his hand and shook hands warmly, his face was very pleasant: "I know that $3 million is a small amount for you, $3 million is just that, you can't buy a loss, let alone be fooled!" ”

This sentence made Antonio laugh: the French are really cute.

After the French ambassador left, looking at Contini, who was still thinking carefully, Antonio felt strange: "Young master, we just promised the six major groups not to dismantle their factories, you won't regret it, right?" ”

"Nope! No remorse! Contini smiled slyly, "If the six major groups are not demolished, the others can be dismantled, right?" ”

"Young Master, you?" Antonio was shocked, "What do you mean by that?" Albert will go berserk! ”

"Leave Albert alone." Contini confidently asked, "Uncle Antonio, after signing the treaty, do you think that it has become difficult to negotiate with these people, and the price that should be pressed cannot be suppressed?" ”

"That's true, you have promised to purchase 42 million, of course you don't agree to make profits, who makes who stupid."

"No, we can't afford to watch ...... slaughter," Contini said, "and you bring together the representatives of the six major companies, and I have something to say to them." ”

Antonio wanted to ask: what bad idea do you have? Swallow the words first when they come to your mouth, and let's take a step at a time.

The scheduled afternoon visit to Hitler in prison was postponed again: the representatives of the six major groups met with Contini again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please give me a list of your properties in the Ruhr area as soon as you return......

Everyone was stunned, what kind of rhythm is this? Did Contini think of himself as Albert?

"It's ......"

"This morning, the French ambassador came to me and planned to sell me a batch of waste equipment that they dismantled half a year ago at a low price, in addition, the French ambassador also said that whatever factory I liked, he would dismantle it, and then dispose of it at a low price for me......

"You! Didn't we sign an agreement to help you solve Hitler's problem? ”

"Yes, you are all friends of the United Group, so I will never touch your factory, and the list is to prevent accidental injury...... However, because the price you gave me was relatively high, I had to find another batch of cheap equipment to hedge and dilute the cost, so that the products of the United Group could be competitive in the future. ”

"Even if we don't move, we can't move the others, they are all supporting factories, and if we move one or two, the whole production line will be broken."

"yes, and what does President Albert think?"

"Guys, you can't think so...... You serve your own group first, then Germany and others. Contini explained grimly, "I'm even helping you - just take out your competitor's factory, won't you be able to monopolize the market?" You can't do such a good thing, it's inconvenient to do it, let the French do it! Once and for all, the results are fast! ”

Antonio next to him almost couldn't help but laugh out loud: the young master is still quite funny when he talks serious nonsense. On the surface, this matter is for the sake of the six major consortia, but in fact, they are roasted on the fire - other people's fields and competitors' factories are all finished, and the six major companies are still intact.

Even if you want to kill your competitors, you can't use this kind of means, this is a public outrage, how will the six major conglomerates face the entire German business community in the future? Besides, although many factories do not have a controlling relationship with the six major consortia, they also have inextricable interests and cooperative relations.

Everyone immediately persuaded them bitterly, saying that they had no such intention - the six major consortia must compete fairly and do not use such indiscriminate methods.

Contini nodded as he listened, and after a while, he said, "Yes...... You need to save face, the unity of the German business community needs to be maintained, and the German working class and social sentiment must be taken care of...... How do you plan to solve the high procurement cost of the United Group? ”

Well, now everyone knows what this young master's idea is, everyone look at me, I look at you, and reluctantly say that their equipment and products can be appropriately profited - as to do some work within their ability to preserve the vitality of German industry.

"Thank you for your generosity, in you I see the resurgence of a great power, and with patriots like you, Germany will surely rise again and become famous all over the world."

Everyone is smiling all over their faces, but they are constantly scolding their mothers in their hearts, but scolding is scolding, Contini will not be short of meat, cheap is the last word, right?
