Germanic Empire: Please call me Wilhelm III

Liu Chuan still couldn’t get back to Bolin before Christmas.

By the time he arrived at Palin, it was December 27, 1703.

It’s not a big deal for him, though. He is still Han in his bones, and he is not very interested in the festivals of foreigners. Even he is now the same as a foreigner’s face. However, many things in the bones are difficult to change.

After returning to Bolin, Liu Chuan directly asked Wilhelm II.

“Your Majesty, Prince August asks for a meeting.” Butler Jonah Wright Sr. prayed.

“Oh? It’s only been a few months since August returned? It seems that he really succeeded. Wilhelm II couldn’t help but sigh.

“Yes, Father. August’s luck is really good! Crown Prince William said sourly on the side.

So many people in the world look for gold, but how many can actually find gold?

“In any case, this is a good thing for August, and indeed for the royal family and the entire empire!” Wilhelm II said.

Soon, August entered the office.

“Father, Brother, I’m back!” Liu Chuan greeted them with a smile.

“Auguste, after a few months, I didn’t expect you to really succeed.” Wilhelm II said.

“Yes, Auguste. How big are the gold deposits you found? Crown Prince William asked even more impatiently.

Liu Chuan hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Father, that gold mine, the preliminary estimated reserves are about three thousand tons!” ”

“What? So much? Wilhelm II and Crown Prince Wilhelm couldn’t help but be shocked. Even their breathing couldn’t help but become rapid.

More than 3,000 tons of gold, that’s nearly 10 billion marks!

You know, now the annual financial revenue of the Germanic Empire is only 900 million marks.

The value of the gold mine discovered by Liu Chuan was actually equivalent to the financial revenue of the Germanic Empire for ten years, how could they not be shocked?

“In addition to gold, there should be more than ten thousand tons of silver. And more than 30 million tons of copper! Liu Chuan continued.

These two news once again silenced both Wilhelm II and Crown Prince Wilhelm.

More than 3,000 tons of gold, plus more than 10,000 tons of silver and more than 30 million tons of copper, plus there are definitely 230 billion. Even if you want to mine these minerals, you need to invest some money in the early stage.

But this is simply insignificant compared to the huge benefits. Or rather, it is enough to describe it as a book of wanli.

“Auguste, what a lucky guy you are!” Wilhelm II said.

The son discovered such a huge fortune, which made Wilhelm II very happy.

However, Crown Prince William’s eyes were less natural.

In addition to envy, more is jealousy. There was even a hint of panic.

Although he was the fortune of the Germanic Empire, the legal heir to the throne.

However, the Western world is a money society, and wealth plays a very large role.

With such a large amount of wealth, Liu Chuan must be able to have great influence. It would even pose a threat to his right to the throne. This is absolutely unacceptable for Crown Prince William.

“Father, the next step is to mine the ore and transport it back to China for smelting and refining, which requires a lot of investment. We are a family and I naturally hope that the royal family will invest in me. Of course, if the royal family doesn’t want to, I can only ask for the help of others. Liu Chuan continued.

Wilhelm II couldn’t help frowning, he was smart and understood what Liu Chuan meant.

If the price offered by the royal family is satisfactory, Liu Chuan is willing to cooperate with the royal family. If the price cannot satisfy Liu Chuan, Liu Chuan can only seek the cooperation of external forces.

After all, in the Germanic Empire, there were still many business giants and consortiums.

“Auguste, how can you talk to your father like that? Don’t forget that you are also a member of the Hohenzollern family. In your body, you have the blood of the Hohenzollern family. You should take the initiative to hand over the ownership of the gold mine to the family and to the father. I believe that the Father Emperor will not treat you badly!” ”

Crown Prince William immediately jumped out and accused Liu Chuan.

If the gold mine discovered by Liu Chuan belonged to the royal family, there would be no threat to him. Even as the crown prince, he was able to get a lot of benefits from it.

Wilhelm II is also very impressed, this is a huge fortune worth two or three billion! The entire property of the entire royal family adds up, and there is not so much money!

However, as an emperor and a father, he naturally could not take the initiative to rob his son’s wealth. How ugly it would be if it got out!

If Liu Chuan does not agree, and even makes Liu Chuan turn against the royal family, it will be a scandal for the entire royal family.

And now, Crown Prince Wilhelm raised this, then it has nothing to do with Wilhelm II.

Wilhelm II also wanted to see what Liu Chuan would choose.
