"Your Highness, this is your account book, please take a look!" Zach handed over a thick ledger. "You've spent so much money on investments that you're not making ends meet every month, and if this continues, we won't be able to make more money from Japan for a few years!"

"Oh?" Chen Tian opened the account book, he was most familiar with this thing, he did this many years ago.

Since Chentian was born, he began to enjoy the treatment of the prince, 2 million marks per year, and this income totaled 46 million marks.

Before 1900, Chentian's pocket money was negligible.

From 1900 to 1902, Tatsuten sent Zak to Japan to pan for gold, earning a total of 430 million yen, most of which he exchanged for silver and valuables and brought back to Germany, which was equivalent to 120 million Deutsche marks after deducting the exchange loss.

In May 1902, it invested in the Qingdao Munitions Factory with a capital of 2 million marks, and the factory currently has a slight annual surplus.

In June 1902, it invested in the Königsberg shipyard and submarine research project, with a one-time investment of 10 million marks, and about 1 million marks per year. At present, the shipyard has begun to make a profit by building cargo ships and providing small ships to the navy, but it is still in a loss-making state when combined with the cost of submarine research projects.

In August 1902, a joint venture with Krupp was established for a research project with an investment of 5 million marks, which has so far yielded no income.

In November 1902, the company purchased a license to produce gasoline engines from Daimler AG for 2 million marks, and invested 2 million marks to establish an engine laboratory. The laboratory invests 500,000 marks per year in research funds and has no income. In July 1903, the laboratory was incorporated into the Gigi Aviation Group

In March 1903, a large engine factory was established with an investment of 20 million marks, mainly for the production of high-horsepower gasoline engines, which was incorporated into the Gigi Aviation Group in July 1903.

In June 1903, the Djigi Aviation Group was founded with an investment of 50 million marks and a large aircraft factory was built near Königsberg. At present, the income is mainly from the German Army's orders for 20 calibrating aircraft per year and other sporadic orders. In addition, 10 aircraft were supplied to the East Prussian Regiment free of charge each year, and preparations were made for the start of production of tractors in early 1906. At present, the Jrgie-Ji Aviation Group is losing 3 million marks per year.

In October 1905, it invested 20 million marks to establish the University of Königsberg and the physics laboratory, and hired some well-known scholars, including Einstein, with high salaries, and it was estimated that 2 million marks would be invested every year.

At present, Chen Tian has about 50 million marks left in his account, and if he continues in this situation, even if he does not make any investment, he will be destitute in less than 10 years.

"Looks like the problem is more serious!" Chen Tian closed the account book, he has only invested in the development of technology in recent years, but has not noticed the benefits of these projects, which is very unfavorable for future development.

"Zach, why don't you go to Japan again?"

"Your Highness, we have been listed by the Japanese government as the most unpopular person of this century!" Zach shook his head.

Yes, the Japanese are already poor! In their current situation, it is difficult to make any more money from the private sector, but although investing in industry and military industry in Japan can make money, it will also increase Japan's strength.

Chen Tian thought about it, thought hard, I really wanted to make a financial storm or something, while hurting the economies of various countries, while making a big profit, but I wouldn't play this.

At this time, the guards came in and reported that the German crown prince had arrived.

"Prince? Why did he come all of a sudden? Chentian looked at Zack, Zach shook his head, and then went down to prepare.

"Oh! Gigi! Long time no see! Prince walked in and gave Chentian a bear hug, but this enthusiasm gave Chentian a bad premonition.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, why are you here? You should let us know in advance so that we can go and greet us! ”

"Oh! I just happened to be passing by here, so I stopped by to see you! ”

Just passing by? Chen Tian began to be alert, this guy seems to be a bad person this time.

"Oh! I don't know where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going? Chen Tian asked with a smile.

"On the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, parade around the land!" Princeton paused, "I heard you're doing a good job in East Prussia!" ”

What does it mean to get it right?

"Huh! That's just the surface! His Royal Highness the Prince! Chen Tian leaned into his ear and whispered, "My investment has not been smooth in the past few years, and now the economy is very tight!" ”

"How so! My East Prussia kiss His Highness! His Majesty and I have heard that you have made a lot of money in Asia! Prince laughed coldly.

Chen Tian also knew that it was difficult for his actions to hide from the emperor's intelligence system, so he did not dare to make any big moves in East Prussia in recent years, and on the surface, it seemed that what he invested was for his own interests, but in fact, he was constantly increasing his war potential. He was ready to wait for the outbreak of war to go to the battlefield to earn enough political weight for himself.

"Haha! And what about the news you received, how much money do I make in Asia? "Chen Tian wants to see how much the emperor knows about his own strength, and this is just an opportunity.

"I've heard that there are millions of marks! You know, our Asian garrison orders from your factory! Prince said slowly, picking up his teacup.

Didn't he know what he was doing in Japan, Tatsuten was about to breathe a sigh of relief, who knew Prince continued

"Also, what an amazing way you've done in Japan! His Majesty the Emperor was very dissatisfied with this, and he believed that you should not only look out for your own interests, after all, you are the Prince of Germany, and you should put the interests of Germany first. ”

Chen Tian was shocked in his heart, it seems that the emperor knows about Tokugawa Isshin, and this time he wants to use the crown prince to warn himself not to wantonly expand his strength?

"But His Majesty the Emperor is merciful, he said that the past is over, and he doesn't want to pursue it any further!" Prince looked at Chentian and showed a strange smile, "You know, I have been defending you for a long time in front of His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really merciful!" Chen Tian really wanted to know what this crown prince meant, a crown prince would definitely not help himself defend himself in order to receive some benefits!

"By the way, in the past few years, our German army has ordered a lot of planes from your aircraft factory, and I think the airplane is still very useful!" Prince was still sipping tea in his cup.

"Yes! Airplanes make the dream of flying come true! Does Your Highness want to try what it's like to fly? Why don't I send you some of the latest planes? ”

"Humph! It doesn't seem that the plane is very safe! Last year, one of our military planes crashed, and if something misfortune happens to me on the plane, the future of Germany depends on you! Prince sneered.

"How so! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, last year's accident was caused by the pilot's improper operation! Chen Tian felt that it was better not to fight with this guy haha, and go straight to the point.

"Then what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean ......"

"I am still very optimistic about the future market of aircraft! So I decided to help you sell your aircraft! ”

"Help me sell the plane?" Chen Tian was very confused, what kind of medicine was this guy selling in his gourd?

"Yes! That is, with the exception of the aircraft that you retained and supplied to the German army, I am responsible for the sale of all other aircraft! Of course, you can't suffer a loss, we share 55% of the profits from aircraft sales, how about it? ”

55 points? The profit of the plane at that time was not very high, why did he want this profit?

"In addition, the production technology of the aircraft may not be transferred to others without my consent!"

Oh, my God!

Chen Tian suddenly realized! Without Prince's consent, no country should want to get Germany's advanced aircraft or aircraft technology, which is a favorable international political bargaining chip! What's even more terrifying is that when most people regard airplanes as a toy, this guy actually sees that countries will definitely pay more and more attention to airplanes in the future.

"How? If you agree, sign the contract! Prince said as he took the papers from the guards and handed them to Chentian.

Pass by? Chen Tian smiled helplessly, it seems that this guy came prepared at all, can he not sign?

"May we all have a happy cooperation!" Prince even brought champagne.

"Cheers!" Chen Tianqiang squeezed out a smile.

After coming to this world, Chen Tian paid for the first time the taste of being calculated!

And their own way of money......
