With a "bang", Baron Vittorio Kuniberti closed the file in his hand and asked with a serious look: "Want to buy Krupp's artillery to equip their warships?"

"If that's the case, if nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive in Germany in 3 days." The secretary beside him whispered.

"This is an opportunity! The first takeaway order for the Munich-class armored cruiser is about to come out!" The Baron said excitedly. "Ask Mr. Foss, I hope to discuss the Argentine issues with them!"

Baron Vittorio is definitely the strongest business person under the Time Traveler! Even Time Traveler suspects that his sales skills are better than his shipbuilding skills!

Later generations, time travelers once heard someone comment on the difference between an ordinary salesperson and an excellent salesperson. For example, when the boss proposes that you sell me 20,000 yuan this month, the former can guarantee that the task can be completed at most, while the latter will ask what benefits will you give me if I sell 40,000 yuan!

Now the Baron belongs to the latter, not only to stay verbally, but also to practice it! He has been staring at the Argentines for a long time! Since the Chileans decided to order a second-class ironclad ship from the French, he has been staring at the Argentines!

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female! Especially in the late 19th and early 20th century, when capitalism transformed into imperialism, productivity developed rapidly, and the world was about to be divided, except for first-class and second-class powers such as Europe and the United States, some other small countries were also ready to scoop up their hands, staring at their neighbors like wolves, ready to tear off a piece of meat from each other at any time! This is the case with the two regions of Chile and Argentina!

Since 1870, the Italians in South America (Argentina) have been disliked by the British in South America (Chile), especially after the Second Pacific War, the Chileans who fought against the Peru and Bolivian coalition cleanly and turned Bolivia into an inland country. Argentina realized that the little guy with a boundary line of more than 4,000 kilometers with him was a little fierce!

Then, starting from 1885, there was another problem with the land border between the two countries. Although the documents of both sides stated that the Andes were used as the dividing line, there were great differences in the specific division. The Argentines believed that the border between the two countries should be divided by the highest peak of the Andes as the central line, while the Chileans believed that the natural watershed of the mountains should be used as the border!

When the mouth could not resolve the differences, both sides considered using fists to resolve them, and the regional two heroes' military expansion preparations began! And when the Chileans ordered a 6,900-ton Captain Prat in France, the Argentine finally panicked. Their own fleet could not withstand this thing!

"Contact with the representative of Krupp's shipyard. If I have something to talk to him, I'll set it up this afternoon!" The baron status at this time is different. Since the Munich-type armored cruiser fired, he is almost the most popular designer in Germany. Krupp has also invested in the shipyard. Some things can be left to Krupp!

"Mr. Baron, the Argentines who came to our factory are here to buy artillery, which is not related to your business." Mr. Krupp's representative, Mr. House, felt very strange. When did the Kingdom of Bavaria start to build naval guns? Is it related to the people who buy artillery?

"Listen, tell your boss what I said, and you can make more money as I say." The Baron didn't care about the other party's complaints, "Let the Argentinians see the new Krupp 150mm rapid-fire gun and 280mm turret! Use the latest picric acid high-explosive bombs, and then we provide the target ship and 150 rounds of various ammunition. You only have one mission, use these high-explosive bombs to sink the target ship!"

"You are burning money," Mr. House said with a cold sweat. It was just a firepower observation. As for being so serious? This target ship and hundreds of shells were thrown away, tens of thousands of marks would be gone!

"I'm willing! Do what I said! I'm going to let the Argentinians land on the third day of the German land, and I'm going to see this grand *******!"

After the Krupp representative left, the Baron contacted the media and military personnel. If it was just for a firepower observation, then there was no need to go through a lot of trouble. The Baron was planning a big deal. If it was done, there would be more than one order!

"You will never understand the true meaning of sales. You can't compare to your own words!" After arranging a series of things, the baron said comfortably. "Wait, there are some things that need to be handled. The boss has to make the decision in person!"

Two days later, Baron Vittorio's expedited telegram was sent to the Crossover's desk. This telegram with a short essay explains these things! First, the Argentines planned to buy warships, second, they were likely to go back to the UK to buy warships. Third, the Baron wanted to take this order, and fourth, in order not to let the British succeed. He suggested pushing back the time for British manufacturers to get armor!

"I'll go, this is taking advantage of the monopoly advantage!" The time traveler couldn't help but like his subordinates! The name of new hardened armor has been spread to the other side of the ocean. Except for the Americans who still continue to use their own Harvey armor in accordance with the principle of supporting national industries, the first choice of other countries is Bavarian hardened armor, which is undoubtedly a bit difficult for the armored steel manufacturer that has just started to operate.

"We can only guarantee the needs of the country and another country at most!" The report of the armored steel factory manager Brutz was still placed next to it. If this was not the case, the first batch of takeaway armor from the time travelers should be half of each of Russia and Britain, but if this is the case, then hehe!

"Tell the Russians that if they are willing to increase the price per ton by 15 pounds, then our first batch of supply can double!" The time traveler decisively took advantage of this opportunity to slaughter the Russians! Anyway, it is the seller's market now! Even if it increases by 15 pounds, it is still more cost-effective than Harvey's armor plus freight!

"In addition, this news will be told to the British later. If the British ask the reason, it will say that Russia has a higher bid." The time traveler ordered. Then the time traveler dictated a reply, instructing the Baron to complete the preparations, to win the Argentinian order and raise his salary!

"Damn, if Your Highness the Prince is not my boss, I will scold him for being shameless!" When I saw the Time Traveler's reply, the Baron felt that his moral level was still above the baseline for the first time! He only wanted to use his monopoly advantage to trick the British. After all, it was the only one in Europe. This advantage was not necessary to be a crime against himself! And when he arrived at the Time Traveler, he cheated the Russians again!

"Often, isn't it the more you order, the cheaper it is? Can it still be like this?" Although Baron Vittorio admired the wit of the time traveler, he was not optimistic about whether the Russians would buy it, because in his opinion, this thing was a bit contrary to common sense!

But a few days later, when he heard that the Russians had harvested all the export armor at a high price of 140 pounds per ton, the Baron was completely depressed. He also specifically asked his boss why.

"It's very simple. We told the Russians about the Argentines' purchases in Germany. And the Russians also got photos of Brom-Foss shipyard and the Argentines. They thought we were about to start producing takeaway warships, and the export of armored steel would be further tightened..." The time traveler wrote in the letter.

"Compared with you, I am simply a pure angel..." Mr. Baron burst into tears!
