"Mr. Maxim, welcome to Italy."

In the small living room, Carlo stepped forward and shook hands with Makqin, who was still in a trance.

It's no wonder that Makqin looks like he has never seen the world, mainly because the experience during this period of time is a little too unreal, thinking that he has been kicked out of the United States to being warmly welcomed in Europe, and there is a huge contrast Few people can guarantee that he still has a normal heart.

Originally, Makqin first commissioned a friend to investigate these two people, but it turned out that they were really from Italy, but not from the government, but from the royal family. This news is really good for Makqin.

Since the two visiting representatives are really representatives of Italy, Makqin naturally gave up his plan to go to Britain for development, after all, he is not familiar with the place where he went to England, so it is better to have a sincere invitation from Italy.

So then Makqin agreed to come to Italy to work, and for this he also brought his family with him.

The Italian side was also fully prepared for the arrival of Makqin, and prepared the first class cabin of a luxury cruise ship for him as soon as possible, and when he arrived at the port, he sent an attendant to greet him, and let his family board the royal carriage and send him to Rome immediately.

It is impossible for the Makqin family not to appreciate the care of them along the way.

So the first time he saw Carlo, Maxim immediately expressed his gratitude. "Thank you Your Majesty for taking a fancy to me, and my family and I are very grateful for such a grand reception."

"It's nothing, this is the treatment Your Excellency deserves."

In the face of Makqin's gratitude, Carlo is naturally very familiar with the road and knows how to deal with these people. Then they started chatting with him.

"I heard that your family is from the Hugo family?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Well, I'm curious how you came to move to the United States."

It is rare for a monarch to be interested in his family history, so Maxim told about his family history.

From the expulsion of their family from the French, until they settled in the United States. And Carlo also played a good role as a listener, showing an angry expression after hearing that they were expelled from France, a sad expression when he heard that he could not stay in England and had to cross the ocean to the United States, and a happy expression when the United States finally settled down.

In short, Carlo has become familiar with this and can make the people he talks to a good feeling.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to make Carlo a listener, and the only one who can do it is Tesla, and now there is a Mr. Maxim.

After a small talk, Carlo got down to business. "Mr. Makqin, you also know the purpose of this invitation."

Faced with Carlo's inquiry, Makqin replied. "I know very well."

"Then I want to give you a little bit more about it, this invitation is from the royal family, so it is a little different from the government invitation. First of all, the automated weapons developed by you need to enter the eyes of the military before they can be produced. ”

That's right, Carlo needs to explain the difference between the royal family and the government first. Although the two may not seem to be the same, the reality is different. The royal family invests, then it will not be so stuck in terms of funds, and it will be easier to get financial support. Of course, there is also a disadvantage, that is, the arms tenders will be strictly compared, and if a better option emerges, then the government or the military will not open the net because it is a royal property.

And Carlo told in advance that in addition to avoiding some misunderstandings in the future, he also had plans to consider himself. A virtuous monarch is even more likeable, especially for Italy, which lacks talent, and Carlo remembers the names of some famous people, even more so.

"Thank you for your Majesty's information, I have confidence in myself, and I don't mind competing with other weapons developers in your country, and if others are better than me, then I have no regrets."

As a developer, Makqin has his own pride, and he doesn't mind that. You know, in the United States, there are not so many boxes and chatters, just do it, and if it doesn't work, it just can't work.

Hearing Makqin's words, Carlo smiled happily.

"Mr. Makqin, I also believe in Your Excellency's ability to develop a work that will surprise the world."

After talking for a while, Carlo continued. "Mr. Makqin, for your arrival, I have prepared a small welcome dinner, and I hope that Your Excellency will accept my kindness."

Carlo's words moved Makqin a little, he was not born with mud legs, and he still knew a little about the situation in Europe. Having a monarch host a reception dinner for himself is no ordinary courtesy.

"Your Majesty, this is too grand, and the light of your kindness and generosity will surely be admired by the world."

In the face of Makqin's gratitude, Carlo planned to put another handful of fierce material.

"I remember that Mr. Makqin's family was originally born into a nobleman, right?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Our Makqin family was not born into the nobility, and we have never had it before. ”

Although he didn't know why Carlo asked this, Maxim told him truthfully.

"Well, I'm sorry I remembered wrong." Carlo apologized, and then he shifted gear. "Personally, I think that filling in the title of nobility for the Maxim family is more reflective of your ability, you must know that there are many people of commoner birth who have been awarded the title of nobility for their contributions to Italy, and I hope that the Maxim family will also have this honor."

Carlo's words couldn't be more straightforward, and Makqin naturally understood.

"Your Majesty......"

At this time, Makqin didn't know what to say, and his tone was already a little stumbling.

Don't underestimate the desire of the common people for nobility in this era, every time the queen is canonized as a knight in the 21st century, the newspapers are hyped up, and a group of people who eat melons are talking about whether it is lively or not. Not to mention that now, this title of nobility is more than just an honor.

In the face of the grateful Maxim, Carlo felt very satisfied, because he had gained a top weapon designer for only a small fee, and there was no better deal.

Subsequently, Carlo held a small dinner for the Makqin family in the palace, although the nobles present did not know what was special about the Makqin family, but after so many years, how could they not know how to deal with it, so this made the Makqin family, who had never felt this kind of treatment, feel like in a dream, and even when they left, they felt that they were walking lightly.

In the following days, Maxim received several more interviews from Carlo, and after staying for three days, Maxim left Rome in an attitude of great gratitude. Because he would need to go to Brescia next, because there was a small arsenal invested by the royal family, called the Beretta Arms Company, and Maxim would be the chief designer of the company.
