My Italy

"Mr. Maxim, welcome to Italy."

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

It’s no wonder that Maxim looked like he had never seen the world. The main reason was that his experience during this period was a bit too unreal. I think he went from being kicked out in the United States to being warmly welcomed in Europe. There was a huge contrast. Few people can guarantee that they still have a normal mind.

Originally, Maxim commissioned a friend to investigate the two men. It turned out that they were indeed from Italy, but they were not from the government, but from the royal family. This news is great for Maxim.

Since the two visiting people were really representatives of Italy, Maxim naturally gave up his plan to develop in the UK. After all, he was not familiar with the place in the UK, so a sincere invitation from Italy would be better.

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

The Italian side was also well prepared for Maxim's arrival. It immediately prepared a first-class cabin on a luxury cruise for him. When he arrived at the port, he sent an attendant to greet him and asked his family to board the royal carriage and immediately take him there. Sent to Rome.

It is impossible for the Maxim family not to appreciate the care they received along the way.

So the first time he saw Carlo, Maxim immediately expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your Majesty's interest in me. My family and I are extremely grateful for such a grand reception."

"It's nothing, this is the treatment you should receive."

Facing Maxim's thanks, Carlo was naturally very familiar with the situation and knew how to deal with these people. Then we started chatting with him.

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

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Can you tell me? I'm curious how you moved to the United States."

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

From the time their family was expelled from France to settling in the United States. And Carlo also played the role of a listener very well. After hearing that they were expelled from France, he showed an angry expression. When he heard that they could not stay in the UK and had to cross the ocean to the United States, he showed a sad expression. Finally settling in the United States. After coming down, he showed a happy expression.

In short, Carlo has become very good at this and can make the people he talks to feel good.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to make Carlo a listener. Currently, only Tesla can do so, and now Mr. Maxim is added to the list.

After the two chatted for a while, Carlo got down to business. "Mr. Maxim, you know the purpose of this invitation, right?"

Faced with Carlo's question, Maxim replied. "I am certain."

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

Yes, Carlo needs to explain the difference between the royal family and the government first. Although the two seem to be no different, the actual situation is still different. If the royal family invests, they will not be so stuck in funding and it will be easier to obtain financial support. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, that is, weapons bidding will be strictly compared. If a better choice appears, the government or the military will not give in because it is a royal industry.

Carlo informed in advance that in addition to avoiding possible misunderstandings in the future, he also had plans to consider for himself. A monarch with high moral character is more popular, especially in Italy, which lacks talents. This is especially true because Carlo can still remember the names of some famous people.

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

As a developer, Maxim has his own pride, and he doesn't mind this. You must know that in the United States, there are not so many rules and regulations. If it works, it will work, and if it doesn’t, it won’t work.

Hearing Maxim's words, Carlo smiled happily.

"Mr. Maxim, I also believe in your ability. You will definitely develop a work that will surprise the world."

After talking for a while, Carlo continued. "Mr. Maxim, I have prepared a small welcome dinner for your arrival. I hope you can accept my kindness."

Carlo's words moved Maxim a little. He was not from a humble background, and he had some understanding of the situation in Europe. Asking a monarch to host a reception dinner for himself is no ordinary courtesy.

"Your Majesty, this is really grand. Your kindness and generosity will be admired by the world."

Faced with Maxim's gratitude, Carlo planned to make another splash.

"I remember that Mr. Maxim's family was originally from a noble family, right?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Our Maxim family is not born into aristocracy, nor has it ever been before."

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

"That's right. I'm sorry I remembered it wrong." Carlo apologized, then changed the subject. "I personally think that filling in the title of nobility for the Maxim family can better reflect your ability. You must know that many people born as civilians have been awarded the title of nobility because of their contributions to Italy. I hope that the Maxim family can also have this honor. ”

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

"His Majesty……"

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

Don't underestimate the desire of common people for nobles in this era. In the 21st century, every time the Queen knights you, it is reported in the newspapers, and a group of melon-eating people discuss it lively. Not to mention that now, this noble title is more than just honor.

Facing the grateful Makqin, Carlo felt very satisfied, because he had gained a top weapons designer for only a small amount of money. There was no more cost-effective deal than this.

Later, Carlo held a small dinner for the Maxim family in the palace. Although the nobles present did not know what was special about the Maxim family, they had been struggling for so many years. How could they not know how to deal with it? , so this made the Maxim family, who had never experienced this kind of treatment, feel as if they were in a dream, even when they left, they felt walking lightly.

In the following days, Maxim received many interviews from Carlo. After staying for three days, Maxim left Rome with a grateful attitude. Because he needs to go to Brescia next, because there is a small arsenal invested by the royal family here called Beretta Arms Company, and Maxim will serve as the chief designer of the company.
