384 Senior Brothers
The current Lanfang is much larger than the territory of the Dutch colonial period, and after taking the territory of Guinea under the rule of Australia, Lanfang has more than 18,000 islands.
Since there are islands, sand and sun are indispensable, which are essential elements to make up a tourist destination.
There are many islands in Lan Phong that are ready to be developed into tourist destinations, the most notable of which is Bali.
Bali is a recognized tourist destination all over the world.
In order to attract engineers and skilled workers from the Krupp factory to volunteer to work in Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan ordered people to take pictures and make them into beautiful albums to increase the attractiveness of Lanfang.
Sunshine is a scarried resource for Europeans who don't have enough daylight hours, and it doesn't need to be introduced that the bright sunshine and white sand beaches and crystal clear waters in the pictures have created enough temptation for these Germans who have never been to the Far East.
So, when the meeting restarted, the atmosphere became extraordinarily warm.
"Are there any more albums? We need to get more inputs. A well-dressed middle-aged man couldn't wait to make a request.
Middle-aged men, it is the age of the old and the young, maybe the family has to live on their meager salary, and it is the responsibility of every man to create better living conditions for his family.
For them, the country is important, but the life of the family is more urgent.
It was clear that this high-ranking talent, who seemed to be working in the office, had already moved his mind to go to Lanfang.
"If you choose not to go to Lanfang or Corsica, but you don't want to leave Krupp, will the 'Franconian company' refuse those people?" A representative of the workers wearing glasses asked.
This person who seems to be older, almost reaching retirement age, is generally reluctant to leave his hometown, but at the same time, they pay more attention to the security of life after retirement.
These people have worked at Krupp all their lives, and under normal circumstances, these people retire normally, and then receive a pension for 10 or 20 years. But Krupp no longer exists, and the company they have been loyal to all their lives is gone, and the future is no longer guaranteed.
"Of course not!" Long Chengxuan was decisive and gave a sincere promise with an expression: "Please rest assured, the 'Frank Company' is not inhumane, since we have taken over the Krupp Company, then we will take over everything from Krupp, including the history of Krupp." ”
Before coming, the delegation had already made a deduction for the problems that might be encountered, and basically the delegation had a plan for all kinds of situations that might be encountered, so that it would not be in a hurry.
At the same time, the delegation has Qin Zhiyuan's authorization, and if there are problems that have not been discussed when communicating with the workers' representatives, the delegation can decide for itself. In this way, no matter what the question is, Long Chengxuan will give an answer immediately, giving enough confidence to those workers who are in a state of hesitation and helplessness.
Qin Zhiyuan originally planned to pack and take away these factories at the same time, but also take away the R&D institutions and skilled workers in these factories, there are only machines but there are not enough workers to operate them, and those machines have no effect.
"We had already communicated with Mr. Gustav that after the 'Franck company' took over Krupp, all the debts of the former Krupp plant belonged to the 'Franck company', including of course the pensions of the retired workers. At this stage, although the 'Franck AG' will not open a factory in Germany, it will have a permanent office in Essen, from which retired workers at the Krupp plant can receive pensions. If you don't want cash, you can also substitute food equivalents. Long Chengxuan continued.
This last point is particularly important, in the current Germany, the material is still in extreme scarcity, the Krupp factory is an important department of the state, the situation is a little better, and the life of ordinary Germans is already in dire straits.
Money is a good thing, but it's not popular in Germany at the moment, because even if you have money, you can't buy much, and the shops are indeed open every day, but the shelves are empty.
After the armistice was signed, the future US President Herbert Hoover was in charge of the European relief plan, and he pleaded for food to be sent to Germany, but was rejected by the top leaders of the Allied powers, including US President Wilson, who proposed the 'Fourteen Points'.
The Lanfang delegation's "food substitution" plan was born at the right time to help Germany in the midst of extreme distress, which is much better than icing on the cake.
Sure enough, hearing Long Chengxuan's introduction, even Friedrich, who was the most hostile to Lan Fang's delegation, breathed a sigh of relief.
Friedrich has retired, and he is still tossing at such an age, and his feelings for the Krupp factory are certainly an important factor, and deep down he may not be free from worries about the future.
Now that he heard with his own ears that the future was secured, Friedrich changed his attitude towards the "Franconian company".
"What kind of treatment can we have? If we go to Corsica or Lanfang, will the 'Franconian Company' treat us the same as the French and the Chinese? Can our young people be promoted? When our technology starts to proliferate, will we be easily laid off for no reason? Also, our emperor's attitude towards the Chinese is not very friendly, so Qin ...... Will he do the same to us? A worker representative, who had not spoken, asked a long list of questions in one breath.
These questions are more realistic than the questions just now, which also indicate that they are currently seriously considering whether to join the "Franck company".
And Long Chengxuan's task is to dispel the doubts of these people and give them enough confidence.
"Senior Brown, do you remember me?" Long Chengxuan suddenly called out Brown's name.
"You're ......," Blond said in surprise with his mouth wide open.
"I'm Long, Tom, that's my brother Tony, who was ...... in Aachen," Long Chengxuan smiled.
"Oh my God, are you Tom? Are you Tony? God, it's unbelievable! Brown stood up in surprise, obviously raising his arms to go this way to give Long Chengxuan a hug, but he was a little hesitant to see the two distinct parts of the conference room.
"Long time no see, Senior Brown." Long Chengxuan did not hesitate, strode over and gave Brown a very hard hug.
"Long time no see......" Blond could only mutter, he had not yet recovered from the shock.
"Senior brother, thank God for letting me see you again......" Long Chengyuan also came over and gave Brown a big hug.
"Senior brother......" Blond muttered.
It seems that the dusty memory has finally been turned over, and Brown finally remembers the two young men who have just arrived in Germany in his memory, and the two high-spirited young people in front of him.
This dramatic and unexpected scene caught everyone present off guard.
It took a long time for the two Xuanyuan brothers and Brown to calm down, and Long Chengxuan introduced their acquaintance to the people waiting for answers.
That was ten years ago when the two Regulus brothers first arrived in Germany, when the Regulus brothers were 15 and 16 years old, and Blond was a graduate student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aachen.
The two Xuanyuan brothers came to study at Aachen University, which was similar to the orientation training in another time and space, and they did not need to take exams, and directly entered Aachen University after paying a fee.
At the University of Aachen, Brown and Xuanyuan had a good relationship, Brown taught the Xuanyuan brothers to learn German, and the Xuanyuan brothers also taught Brown to learn German, and they complemented each other, and this is how the "senior brother" and "junior brother" came about.
Don't blame Brown for not recognizing the two Xuanyuan brothers, in the eyes of Westerners, the faces of Orientals have no three-dimensional sense, and they are all "big pie faces" that look similar, and it is understandable that Brown can't recognize them.
But Blond was indeed the first friend the two Regulus brothers made after they arrived in Germany, and the Regulus brothers certainly remembered Blund vividly. Therefore, as soon as Brown spoke, the two Regulus brothers recognized Brown Color.
The reason is simple, Bronde's German accent is the same as that of the Regulus brothers, full of Dutch flavor of Low German.
When the two Regulus brothers and Brown met each other, they were in a period of voice change, and Brown couldn't hear the voices of the two Regulus brothers after they matured. Blond has passed the period of voice change, and his voice has not changed much over the years.
After Long Chengxuan finished explaining, everyone found that Brown and Long Chengxuan had already sat next to each other, as if they had been sitting like this since they entered the conference room.
Knowing that the two young men in front of them had studied in Germany before, the workers' representatives of the Krupp factory suddenly looked at the two Xuanyuan brothers with a lot of pleasing eyes, and even their resistance to the "Frank Company" was much more relaxed.
“…… Please rest assured that in our 'Franconian Company', or in Corsica, in Laanfang, there is absolutely no distinction between nationalities, we have only one ethnicity, and that is the Lanfang people. If you are not sure, then I suggest that you do not make a decision for the time being, and that you can go to Corsica or go to Lanfang and take a look. Think of it as a vacation, soak up the sun on the beach in Bali, or have a fun bonfire, which happens every day in Bali. You can bring your family with you, and Frank will cover all the costs of the trip. Long Chengxuan lost no time.
Sunshine is tempting for the current Germans.
You must know that it is November, and the morning sun in Germany will not rise until 9 o'clock in the morning, and it will set at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the Germans feel that they are almost moldy, and they are like green plants that yearn for the sun, and there is no life without sufficient sunshine.
"Of course I'm going, I'm going to have a look at your laboratory in Corsica, you may not know that when your name appeared in the newspapers, although many Germans were cursing you, Alice cut out all the newspapers related to you, but unfortunately there was no portrait of you, otherwise I would have recognized you." Blond was in high spirits.
Alice is Bronde's classmate and Bronde's wife, and the two Regulus brothers also know Alice, so if you put it carefully, the Regulus brothers and Alice are more familiar.
As for those newspapers, the two Xuanyuan brothers were actually negative news.
The two Xuanyuan brothers are helping Qin Zhiyuan to research and improve weapons, and these two Orientals, who were educated at the University of Aachen, have become "traitors" in the eyes of the Germans.
But that was all before, from now on, the German publishing media, about the Chinese should be a positive image, otherwise Crown Prince Wilhelm will be the first to not let them go.
