After handing over a series of strategies for enriching the country and strengthening the army to the War Department and the Belgian Cabinet, Albert finally took a break from the complicated political affairs for a while. If Albert had to do everything himself, he would have died suddenly on the workbench before he was forty years old.

Albert came back to continue to take care of the Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperation Company and North Industries Co., Ltd., he had already gone through the suspension procedures from the aristocratic school, at first his father Leopold was still bitter persuasion, but when Albert gave almost perfect marks in the middle school exam papers, Leopold III finally chose to remain silent and agreed to Albert's request for suspension.

And the most interesting thing is that when the professor who claims to be a Chinese expert has the intention to embarrass Albert and gives him Chinese test questions, but Albert writes a Chinese essay and hands it to the stunned professor, and mocks him with fluent Chinese, "Dear professor, just because I only speak French doesn't mean I can't speak Chinese, there is a saying in China called 'pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger', so unfortunately you met a monster in pig's clothing." ”

NORINCO now has a steady stream of orders from the War Department, and since the products were tried to be recommended to the outside world, South American countries and Canada, as well as some countries in Northern Europe, have shown strong interest in NORINCO's weapons and munitions.

As for the Belgian Strategic Resources Cooperation Company, although some Belgian dignitaries who went to the Congo to the slightly chaotic Congo would hire the company's paramilitary personnel as escort bodyguards, but the company deliberately lowered the price in order to curry favor with the dignitaries, and the profits were really pitiful.

Everything was in order, but Albert was in a bad mood today.

"Bastard, this is absolutely a fucking naked slander, a slander of my creativity, and even a question and insult to the character of the entire Belgian royal family." When Albert threw the fifth document on the ground, his mood finally stabilized a little, he picked up the newspaper again, and saw the clear headline on it, "The idea of the Belgian prince's AKM rifle is suspected of plagiarism", and it seemed to be justified to list a series of data, of course, these data were from last year, a full year before Albert's AKM development.

A distraught Albert cursed, "I'll fuck you uncle." ”

The Mandarin pronunciation is correct and round, and people always use their hometown dialect when they are extremely angry.

Miss Ellie from the Public Relations Department stood on the side of the office, scared to come out. In her impression, the boss has always been a polite little gentleman, he can remember the name of any employee of the company, and greet them in a friendly manner, and there is no such superiority and arrogance of the Belgian aristocracy, many female colleagues are betting that when the boss is five years older, they are ready to conquer this handsome little man.

But the gentle little gentleman in front of him was like a lion that had been provoked.

"Boss, a person outside the door who claims to be the chairman of the Belgian Beretta company asks to see him, because I haven't made an appointment before, but I still came to tell you." Eli said cautiously, for fear of provoking him.

"Chairman Beretta?" Hearing this, Albert calmed down, picked up the papers on the ground one by one, laid them on the table, and said, "Is his name Pietro Beretta?" ”

"Yes." Miss Ili handed the business card to Albert.

"Ellie, push off the other appointments, I'd like to see this gentleman first." Albert straightened his clothes and said calmly.

Although she didn't know why the boss was so similar to just now, she still replied in a low voice, "Yes, boss, I'll bring him up." ”

After Miss Ili left the office, Albert began to communicate with Tianyan in his mind, and it was urgent for him to find out who had posted this rumor, but Tianyan's reply disappointed him.

"I don't have the obligation to keep an eye on the flow of information around the world, not to mention that this is simply impossible, unless there is the Internet in your current era, do you think that the alien technological civilization in which I am located has developed to the point of omniscience?" Tianyan unceremoniously handed Albert a basin of cold water.

However, Tianyan gave Albert a wake-up call, "Your side has just appeared in the newspaper, and that guy from Pietro came from Italy on the back foot, don't you think the time is too coincidental?" ”

"Huh?" Albert also felt that there was a cat in it, in 1944 Kalashnikov designed a semi-automatic rifle, and then modified it on the basis of this semi-automatic rifle to design the AK46 rifle, if the newspaper news was Kalashnikov in order to defend his rights, but this improved model on the AK47 is not related to his design to a large extent, even if it is impossible to win the lawsuit, but what if someone behind is pushing the flames and wants to bring down this gun? Albert's expression became solemn.

"Your guests are here." The Eye of Heaven said in Albert's mind.

Albert looked up and saw a kind old man in a trench coat, smiling and looking at himself, with the three long arrow badges on his chest that symbolized the Beretta Company, and he did not look like the leader of the Beretta Company that once occupied half of Europe.

But in Albert's eyes, Piertro's smile was like that of an old fox looking at his prey.

"Sit down, Mr. Piertro, Ellie, bring me two cups of coffee." Albert quietly commanded, dealing with this kind of guy who has cultivated Wild Fox Zen for seventy or eighty years, ordinary routines can't help him at all, so he can only play with him and take the extreme route of the edge.

"I wonder what advice Monsieur Piatrot has come from Italy in the dust?"

"That's right, I heard that His Highness Albert has developed two firearms with excellent performance, and our Beretta Company is ready to buy the production license of one of the AKM rifles from His Highness Albert, I wonder what price His Highness Albert is willing to sell the production license?"

After making trouble for a long time, it turned out that he wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the timing was too accurate, Albert smiled and stared at this hateful old fox with an even more hateful face, and quoted a jaw-dropping price, "The transfer fee is twenty-three million US dollars, and Beretta needs to pay a five-percent royalty for each AKM rifle produced, if you are not willing to accept this price, then I think this is the end of the conversation between us." ”

Twenty-three million? Knowing that Beretta's five-year profit income can only be worth this figure, Pietro felt a little amused, it seems that the prince Albert is not going to play according to the script.

The two stared at each other, and Albert also gave Pietro a middle finger in his heart, yes, Lao Tzu is not easy to play cards, you have the ability to anal me!

Pietro took a sip of coffee without hurry, and said, "I'm afraid that His Royal Highness Albert's design is not worth the price, but recently I heard that the principle of the AKM rifle is suspected of copying a certain firearms designer, if this kind of scandal spreads, it will be riddled with lawsuits at that time, and it will also have a certain impact on His Highness's reputation." ”

"Hehe, this Your Excellency Pietro doesn't have to care, the AKM rifle is a product that has applied for my patent, even if the other party sprays me on suspicion of plagiarism, the final winner is still FN company, of course, if you say that FN company is afraid of the impact of reputation and reputation, I think Your Excellency is unfounded. Our business customers have always only cared about the performance of this firearm and whether it can cause maximum damage to the place in the war, rather than dwelling on the intellectual property rights of this gun. ”

In the end, Albert did not forget to give Beretta a critical blow, "Oh yes, Beretta's excellent designs during the war are also very few, and the Beretta M1938 submachine gun is nothing more than the designer Tulio. As for your Carcano rifle, it has poor power and low accuracy, I think you Italians are still more suitable to go back to make noodles, not suitable for war, as for the guns made by your company, I think it is more appropriate to describe it as a toy. ”

Albert's last sentence is purely black for the sake of black, in fact, the Italian Carcano rifle is a firearm with superior performance, but it is a pity that this gun is not ladylike and meets the Italian army, so it does not shine as much as the Morganshine or Mauser rifles in World War II.

One of the most surprising incidents of the Carcano rifle was when Lee Harvey Oswald shot Kennedy in the head in November 1963.

Sure enough, seeing that there was no hope of peaceful communication, Pietro got up and left, and before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and say coldly, "Your Highness Albert, I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen such a brazen person as you. ”

Albert, who knew that Pietro would only live until 1957, laughed and said, "Take care of your health, Mr. Pietro, you still have twelve years to eat and drink, don't have a heart attack and go to God in advance." ”
