Chapter 98: reached an agreement
??Gustav Krupp was completely shocked. In his opinion, after the establishment of the German Arms Company, it must be able to make money. Especially if a breakthrough can be achieved in light weapons, then with Qin Tian's influence, the German Army will inevitably purchase the weapons they produce in large quantities. This undoubtedly means huge profits. But now, Qin Tian is willing to share this part of the profit with them, which is completely beyond their expectations.
?? "His Royal Highness, do you mean that Krupp can take a stake in Deutsche Arms?" Gustav Krupp asked with some uncertainty.
?? "Yes, Mr. Krupp. I am willing to jointly hold shares in Deutsche Arms with Krupp." Qin Tian smiled.
??Gustav Krupp took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then said: "Your Royal Highness, this is our honor!"
?? Qin Tian was not surprised that Gustav Krupp would agree. That was the way it was. As long as Gustav Krupp's head wasn't caught by the door, he wouldn't refuse to partner with him. This is a sure-fire deal!
?? "His Royal Highness, how can we cooperate?" Gustav Krupp asked. In his opinion, even if Krupp loses a little later, this is acceptable.
"Mr. Krupp, Deutsche Industries AG shares in cash and Krupp in technology. Although light weapons are not what Krupp is good at. But I believe that you also have a certain accumulation of technology in this regard It should be fully capable of developing the several weapons I designed." Qin Tian said.
?? Gustav Krupp was not surprised that Qin Tian was able to design weapons for the army. Perhaps in his eyes, Qin Tian has long been synonymous with genius. Not only a business genius, but also a genius in shipbuilding. Isn't the army's weapons also a piece of cake for Qin Tian?
?? Gustav Krupp nodded. It is completely acceptable for Krupp to invest in technology.
?? "His Royal Highness, how many shares can Krupp hold in the German arms company?" Gustav Krupp asked. In business talk business, since the two parties are going to cooperate, Gustav Krupp naturally hopes to obtain more profits.
"Mr. Krupp, Deutsche Arms Company and Deutsche Industrie Group invested 100 million marks, holding 70% of the shares. Krupp invested in technology and held 30% of the shares. What do you think?" Qin God asked.
"His Royal Highness, 30% of the shares is too little. How about this, Krupp will invest another 50 million marks in addition to technology to increase the shares to 50%." Gusta husband Krupp said. As Germany's largest arms giant, Krupp's profits are also very impressive. This makes them also very abundant in terms of funds.
??Qin Tian shook his head. Although he agreed to partner with Krupp, it didn't mean that he was about to give up his holding of the German Arms Company. Qin Tian hoped that this munitions company would be completely in his hands, and he did not want any problems to arise in the future.
"Mr. Krupp, 50% of the shares is impossible. I hope to be able to control this arms company. I believe that you don't want someone to seize control of Krupp, do you?" Qin Tian said with a smile. If everyone can't agree on this issue, Qin Tian would even rather give up the cooperation with Krupp.
??Gustav Krupp nodded. In fact, his request for 50% of the shares was just a test for Qin Tian. Now it seems that Qin Tian's attitude is undoubtedly relatively tough on the issue of the company's holdings. Then, on this issue, there is naturally no need to say anything more.
?? "Okay, Your Royal Highness. Krupp is willing to use technology and 30 million marks to occupy 40% of the shares of the German Arms Company." Gustav Krupp chose to give in.
??Qin Tian nodded and gave up 40% of the shares. He still has 60% of the shares in his hand. This is already complete control of the company. Although, a lot of profit will be lost as a result. However, he doesn't care about that.
?? "Mr. Krupp, may we have a happy cooperation!" Qin Tian raised the wine glass on the table. The **** red liquor was reverberating in the wine glass.
?? "Happy cooperation!" Gustav Krupp had a smile on his face.
?? "Ding!" The two wine glasses slammed together, making a crisp sound. This also means that Qin Tian has further cooperation with the Krupp company and the Krupp family. Even if it is for their own future interests, the Krupp family will fully support Qin Tian.
"Mr. Krupp, the Deutsche Arms Company wants to share the profits of small arms, which will inevitably cause a full backlash from Mauser and Rheinmetall. After all, they regard the army's small arms as their taboo. On this issue Now, I'm afraid the Krupp family needs to coordinate." Qin Tian said.
?? Gustav Krupp nodded. Mauser and Rheinmetall are undoubtedly the largest suppliers of light weapons to the German Army. Although these two arms companies are not comparable to Krupp, they are also very important in Germany. The weapons they produce are also sold overseas. They also have huge influence in Germany and the military. If they strongly oppose the German Arms Company, the development of the German Arms Company will inevitably struggle.
?? "His Royal Highness, with His Highness' influence and the capabilities of Krupp, they can completely resist their counterattack. I don't think this should be a problem." Gustav Krupp said.
??He had already guessed that after becoming a shareholder of the Deutsche Arms Company, he would definitely need to contribute. Otherwise, Qin Tian would not have offered to cooperate with Krupp. After all, Qin Tian can do it alone. Qin Tian has enough funds in his hands, and as for technicians, he can also find them easily. No matter how bad it is, you can poach the corners of other companies. It now appears that the reason why Qin Tian sought cooperation with Krupp was to deal with the pressure from Mauser and Rheinmetall.
?? Regarding this, Gustav Krupp certainly would not refuse. Krupp has always been a competitor with Mauser and Rheinmetall. Krupp has long coveted the profits of light weapons and wanted to enter this field. However, due to the resistance of Mauser and Rheinmetall, it has not been able to succeed. Now, they finally have this opportunity to enter this field.
