Chapter 2338 The Thousands 2

"Mr. Heinrich, if I remember correctly, you have a lot of government bonds than Krupp. You don't want him to depreciate or delay exchange for hundreds of millions of marks, right? Also, the land promised by the government to you has been obtained? Then the construction of new factory buildings should also be put on the agenda, right? You don't want these lands to be left like this, right?" Five minutes later, Krupp couldn't help but speak to Heinrich Lehald.

Gustav still spent some time looking for these people. Bayer Chemical is a leading company in the German chemical industry, which is absolutely unavoidable. Although Siemens has a close relationship with Bavaria, it is also closely related to Krupp and Rhinemetallurgy. Not to mention anything else, the electrical equipment on the warships built by Krupp's shipyards are all from Siemens. Therefore, although Siemens is politically inclined to Bavaria, it is not that Gustav was sold because of this meeting. And Siemens is in the territory of old Prussia, so he has to give the German emperor a face no matter what, right?

As for Rheinmetall, there is a reason for inviting him, because Rheinmetall's main business is steel, military and machinery like Krupp. In this regard, they have a fierce competitive relationship with South Germany. Gustav estimated the situation of the meeting before the meeting. Bayer Chemical might be neutral, and Siemens may have objections, but it will not be very fierce. As for Rheinmetall, it is Krupp's natural ally! Well, although there is competition between them, at least they should have a common language in dealing with Bavaria, right?

Well, according to Gustav’s idea, if Rheinmetall showed support for Krupp at this time, then Siemens must also consider its attitude? But the question is, why is Rheinmetall slow to express its opinion now? You should know that for every mg12 machine gun Rheinmetall had to pay a patent usage fee of 120 mark to Bavaria for every mg12 machine gun produced! This TM is unscientific!

"These things are indeed important, but they are long-term planning. Recently, there are other things that are very important. I am busy dealing with them now, so I am a little slow to other information outside. Well, it is just slow. My principle is that when the situation is unclear, it will be better to do things within my ability. After all, we are businessmen, not politicians. Do you think? Mr. Gustav?" Heinrich said with embarrassment.

"What's more important?" Gustav's face showed a look of dissatisfaction. He felt that Heinrich was fooling him, but was it necessary to fool him? If he didn't want to, he wouldn't want to. How could Gustav do Heinrich? As for saying that? Gustav didn't understand.

"Yes, it's very important." Arnold Siemens, who had not spoken, spoke. "Just a few days ago, we attended a banquet hosted by the Austro-Hungarian Ambassador. During the banquet, the ambassador mentioned that the market would be opened to the Empire and several important industrial projects. They needed a large amount of steel, machinery, and chemical raw materials. Some products that could not even be sold in the Empire market or overproduction could be sold easily in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. I think seizing business opportunities is what a businessman should do. Mr. Heinrich and I have a similar view."

"Hold the grass! Is this considered a vote?" Gustav was so depressed. In fact, as the top German businessman, he was clear about the recent actions of the Austro-Hungarian ambassador. There are also various rumors in society, but Gustav was not very concerned. First of all, from a business perspective, Krupp mainly used military shipbuilding, which was not very consistent with the recent publicity content of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Secondly, he realized that this was an attempt by the Austro-Hungarian Empire to alleviate the tension caused by the two sides due to the issue of compensation distribution recently. Since it was only eased, at most it was just a way to do it. At least Gustav thought so.

"So do you think the business opportunities of the Austro-Hungarian Empire are really important? Don't forget that it was the private area of ​​Southern Germany before. The industrial products of Bavaria and Wurttemberg, and the textile products of Saxony were popular there. It was difficult for us to get in." After adjusting our emotions, Gustav said.

"But now the situation is different. The area of ​​the Austro-Hungarian Empire has almost doubled. Not to mention, even the most basic rails have not been enough. The area of ​​the Bavarian Kingdom has also expanded several times. In this case, neither Bavaria nor Austria have enough power to control the entire market, and this is an opportunity for us. At least I think the competition faced by the development of the Austro-Hungarian Empire will always be smaller than that of the German Empire." Since Arnold Siemens has already opened up, Heinrich did not hide it, but directly explained his own ideas. "This is an opportunity. Bavaria and Austro-Hungarian Empire have opened up new markets to us. This is a necessity for them, and it is also a rare opportunity for us."

"So this time you choose to stay out of the matter or stand on the side of Bavaria and Austria? Just because they can make you more money?" Gustav couldn't help but raise his voice and said.

"But is it really in our interest to continue confrontation? From the perspective of the empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is an indispensable ally, and from the economic perspective, breaking trade barriers is beneficial to everyone. For us, isn't our purpose to make more profits?" Arnold said.

"This is a conspiracy. They are dividing us, do you know? I now miss the old Prussia before the war. The German Empire at that time had a strong core regime! The imperial government and parliament were strong enough that he could easily decide on things such as compensation division. However, now, every decision of ours has to be bargained for a long time. Just a few days have just passed? The empire began to gradually become disintegrating! Everyone had their own thoughts, but they had never thought about the German Empire!" Gustav said heartbrokenly.

"Gustav, what do you mean? Let the German Empire go back to the past? To be honest, the German Emperor himself has limited ability and limited prestige. I can understand his idea as a supporter of the German Emperor, but I can tell clearly that most people in the country think that Your Majesty is not suitable to rule a world power. Otherwise, there would be no turmoil during the war." Heinrich said without hesitation.
