Dutch Royal Palace, 2nd floor meeting room

Prince William held the wine glass in his hand and looked at Lin Qing with great interest, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, with a faint confident smile.

Lin Qing was a little inexplicable, he and Prince William had just met at the banquet, and they didn't communicate much, what was he looking for himself?

"Count Lin Qing, how is your business in Africa?"

Hearing William's words, Lin Qing was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that his African business had just been opened, and the Dutch government had already received the news, and the power of the state apparatus really could not be underestimated.

Lin Qing shook his head: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, business is not very good, my business is just a small fight, compared to those real giant catfish, I am just a small fish, eating some leftovers, making a small fuss."

"Mr. Earl, do you know how long it has been since there have been arms dealers in the Netherlands? I mean free arms dealers like you, not government orders. The last weapons dealer, Baron Harint, is old, and it was he who recommended you to me. ”

Lin Qing's brain was a little short-circuited, and the kind-looking Baron Harint was actually a weapons dealer? This is a little unacceptable, no wonder his attitude towards himself is a little too good, the reason is here, he wants to let himself inherit his work, but shouldn't this kind of family business be inherited by the heirs of the Harint family? Why would it be him.

"The Harint family is in decline, and after Baron Harint's eldest son died in Africa, there are no more men in their family, only two beautiful ladies are the future heirs of the family!"

William explained Lin Qing's doubts, and looked at him with interest after speaking.

"Before the end of the Cold War, we in the Netherlands, as neighbors with the Red Giants, produced a large number of weapons, and when I was a child, I used to accompany my mother to inspect the army, and I saw mountains of weapons, you know? The weapons warehouse of a battalion actually sealed tens of thousands of guns. It's just what I see, I can't see, and I don't know how many are hidden in secret warehouses. ”

"After the end of the Cold War, nearly 380 billion weapons flowed out of Ukraine, including, missiles, tanks, aircraft, artillery, and it is said that there are nuclear bombs.

"No one looks at our country's HKMP5 and HKC3 rifles, they only need AK47, until now, a considerable part of our country's annual defense budget is spent on the maintenance of these old weapons, not only light weapons, I know that you do not seem to lack the purchase channels of light weapons, I want to tell you that heavy weapons, including tanks, armored vehicles, all kinds of artillery. What do you think? Earl Lin Qing, are you interested? ”

After Prince William finished speaking, he raised his hand and raised the wine glass in his hand, meaning to clink glasses with Lin Qing.

After returning the salute, Lin Qing did not give a direct answer: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I am indeed very short of some heavy weapons, I want to know, if I take over this business, will I only be able to sell the weapons provided by the Netherlands back then?" If that's the case, I'm very sorry, because you know, Dutch weapons are not popular in Africa, and if I sell them, they won't provide me with the same profits as AK and M4, and the African warlords don't have as much demand for heavy weapons as AKs, they only need a few cars for decoration, and no one can even start them. ”

Prince William shook his head: "I think you misunderstood me, I just want you to be the agent of the Netherlands in Africa, the gang of nobles outside, many of them are engaged in the same business as you, but they prefer to sell Russian, British, and German weapons rather than the Netherlands, so I found you." A new nobleman and a weapons merchant. ”

"What kind of facilities can you offer me?"

"The cargo ship of the Royal Dutch Shipping Company, the list of humanitarian relief supplies issued by the Dutch government, and some weapons transport permits, of course, are only unilateral, and no one cares where you ship them, but when you get to the Red Sea, he may be useless."

"What about profits?"

"Twenty-eight open, you two and I eight, you must know that our royal family has been very poor all these years, and the princess crown you auctioned at the London auction was once Queen Elizabeth's beloved."

Lin Qing has always known that these royal families in Europe are not rich, but he didn't expect that the British royal family was so poor that they needed to auction the Queen's collection, who would believe it, but Lin Qing couldn't accept this price, the profit was too low.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I can't accept this price, why don't we change the way of cooperation, I will buy the weapon, how much to sell is my own business, even if I sell at a loss, you won't lose? And there are no financial disputes, such as accidents during the transportation of weapons, what do you think? ”

"It's a lot of business, you can eat it alone?"

"No one wants to eat except me, so I can choose to eat slowly, although I don't earn much, but there is still some earning, which is better than not earning."

"Do you need a government loan? I can apply for some of this, but not too much, because the arms business cannot be mortgaged in the bank, and they will not accept the mortgage of tanks and artillery. ”

"No, but maybe I'm taking a bit of a long time to digest this shipment, because Africa is so poor that they don't have much money to buy heavy weapons, and they'd rather choose to let their children hold a grenade than a shell that's worth less than a hundred dollars."

Prince William thought for a while, and finally nodded and agreed to Lin Qing's proposal, for him, he did not suffer any loss in this transaction, and also reduced the risk a lot, if it succeeds, it will be a great achievement for him, and he can enhance his influence in all walks of life in the Netherlands, the Netherlands has not had a male king for more than a hundred years, and his grandmother is old, he needs to fight, what if it succeeds?

"Happy cooperation, Earl Lin Qing, I think I have a personal gift that you will definitely like."

After William finished speaking, he smiled mysteriously at Lin Qing and picked up the phone in the house.

After dialing the number, Prince William only said two words: "Come in."

A giant with a height of nearly two meters appeared in front of Lin Qing's eyes.

"This is Kettels, the captain of the ocean-going freighter Warrior, you can call him Little Bean."

"Azuki?" Lin Qing looked at the two-meter giant in front of him, he didn't match the title of Xiaodou at all, right? Who gave him such a nickname?

"Your Royal Highness." After Xiaodou performed a salute to William, he stood quietly aside, silent.

"Caittels, this is your new boss, Count Lin Qing, and in the future, your Warrior will belong to Count Lin Qing."

Lin Qing turned his head and looked at Prince William with some curiosity, the prince is really a prince, and the things that are sent directly are sent by boat, and the worst ocean-going freighter is also more than 1,000 tons, right? It's worth at least a few million euros.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness the Prince!" If you don't take advantage of it, that's a bastard, Lin Qing didn't even refuse, and directly accepted Prince William's gift, for fear that he would regret it.

Prince William shouted happily in his heart, finally someone asked for it, eight years of ships, now the world's shipping industry is sluggish and international routes are even more rampant piracy, so that the Royal Dutch Shipping Company almost went bankrupt.

These old cargo ships in the shipping company occupy a lot of maintenance costs every year, which is a headache, and the buyer's offer price is too low for sale.

So the Queen of the Netherlands would rather rot in her hands than sell at a low price. But now there is finally a solution, that is, when it is time to win over the cronies, send it out generously.

Not only can they pull into the relationship with each other, but they can also show their generosity.

Lin Qing and William were each playing their own little abacus, Xiaodou was silently forgotten, and the two had a pleasant conversation in the two of them toasted together and said in unison: "For friendship." After the end.

Lin Qing was still an ordinary member of the many nobles half an hour ago, if there was any difference, it was that he was relatively young, but who had not been younger?

But when Lin Qing walked downstairs, it was immediately different, he was a person who had an in-depth exchange with Prince William and His Royal Highness the Queen for half an hour.

Lin Qing became sought-after in an instant, and the nobles who didn't leave, and the nobles who didn't know each other, gathered around one after another, toasting and exchanging frequently, hoping to find out a little news.
