"Your Highness, this is your account book, please have a look!" Zac passed a thick account book. "You are spending too much money on investment, and now you can't make money every month. If you go on like this, the money we earn from Japan will not last for a few years!"
"Oh?" Chen Tian opened the account book. He knew this thing best. He did it many years ago.
Since Chen Tian was born, he has been enjoying the treatment of a prince. The annual income is 2 million marks, and the total income is 46 million marks.
Chen Tian's pocket money before 1900 is negligible.
From 1900 to 1902, Chen tian sent Zach to Japan to dig for gold, earning a total of 430 million yen, and brought most of it to silver and valuables back to Germany. After deducting the exchange loss, it was equivalent to 120 million German marks.
In May 1902, invested in the Qingdao Arms Factory and invested 2 million marks. At present, the factory has a slight surplus every year.
In June 1902, he invested in the Königsberg shipyard and submarine research project, with a one-time investment of 10 million marks, and an additional annual investment of about 1 million marks. At present, the shipyard has begun to make profits by building cargo ships and providing small ships to the Navy, but the cost of submarine research projects is still in a loss state.
In August 1902, the joint venture research project with Krupp Company invested 5 million marks, and this investment has no income so far.
In November 1902, a gasoline engine production license was purchased from Daimler Motors at a price of 2 million marks, and 2 million marks were invested to establish an engine research laboratory. The research room needs to invest 500,000 marks of research funds every year without any income. The laboratory was merged into the Jiji Aviation Group in July 1903.
In March 1903, it invested 20 million marks to build a large engine factory, which mainly produces high-horsepower gasoline engines. The factory was merged into Jiji Aviation Group in July 1903.
In June 1903, it invested 50 million marks to establish the Gigi Aviation Group, and built a large aircraft factory near Konigsberg. The current revenue is mainly the German Army's annual orders for 20 school-launched aircraft and other sporadic orders. In addition, 10 planes are provided to the East Prussian Army for free every year, and it is ready to start producing tractors in early 1906. At present, Jiji Aviation Group loses 3 million marks every year.
In October 1905, he invested 20 million marks to establish the University of Königsberg and the physics research room, and hired some well-known scholars including Einstein at a high salary. It is expected that an annual investment of 2 million marks will be required.
At present, the remaining funds in Chen tian's account are about 50 million marks. If this situation continues, even if no more investment is made, it will be impoverished in 10 years.
"It seems that the problem is more serious!" Chen Tian he closed the ledger. He has only paid attention to investment and development technology in recent years, but has not noticed the benefits of these projects. This is very unfavorable for future development.
"Zac, why don't you go to Japan again?"
"His Royal Highness, we have been listed as the most unpopular figure of the century by the Japanese government!" Zac shook his head.
Yeah, the Japanese are already very poor! In their current situation, it is difficult to get any oil and water from the private sector, but although investing in industry and military industry in Japan can make money, it will also increase Japan's strength.
Chen Tian was thinking about it, thinking hard about it, really want to get a financial turmoil or something, while hurting the economies of various countries, while earning a lot of votes, but he would not play this.
At this time, the bodyguard came in and reported that the German crown prince was coming.
"Prince? Why did he come suddenly?" Chen Tian looked at Zac, Zac shook his head, and went down to prepare.
"Oh! Gigi! Long time no see!" Prince walked in and gave Chen Tian a hug, but this enthusiasm gave Chen Tian a bad hunch.
"His Royal Highness, why are you here? You should inform us in advance and let us go to meet you!"
"Oh! I just happened to pass by here, so I will stop by and see you!"
Just passing by? Chen Tian started to be alert, this guy seemed to be a bad comer this time.
"Oh! I don't know where your Highness Prince is going?" Chen Tian asked with a smile.
"Under the order of His Majesty the Emperor, parade around!" Princeton paused. "I heard you did a good job in East Prussia!"
What does it mean to do well?
"Oh! That's just a superficial phenomenon! His Royal Highness!" Chen Tian whispered to his ear, "My investment has not been smooth in recent years, and the economy is very tense now!"
"How could it be! My East Prussia kissed His Highness! My emperor and I have heard that you can make a lot of money in Asia!" Prince laughed coldly.
Chen Tian also knew that it was difficult for him to hide the emperor's intelligence system, so he did not dare to make any major moves in East Prussia in recent years. On the surface, it seems that he has invested in his own interests. In fact, it is constantly increasing its own war potential. He was prepared to earn enough political weight for himself when the war broke out.
"Haha! Then the news you received, how much did I make in Asia?" Chen Tian wanted to see how much the emperor knew about his own strength. This time it was an opportunity.
"I heard there are millions of marks! You know, our Asian garrisons are all ordered from your factory!" Prince said slowly while picking up his teacup.
Does he not know what he is doing in Japan, Chen Tian is preparing to take a sigh of relief, who knows Prince then said.
"In addition, your actions in Japan are truly shocking! His Majesty the emperor is very dissatisfied with this. He thinks that you should not only care about your own interests. ."
Chen Tian was shocked. It seemed that the emperor knew about Tokugawa Ikun's faith. This time, he would use the crown prince to warn himself not to expand his own strength.
"But His Majesty the Emperor is benevolent. He said that even if the past is gone, he doesn't want to pursue it anymore!" Prince looked at Chen Tian with a strange smile. "You know, I'm justifying you before the Emperor's Majesty." It's been a long time!"
"His Royal Highness is really benevolent!" Chen Tian wanted to know what this crown prince really meant. A crown prince would certainly not justify himself for the benefit of it!
"By the way, in the past few years, our German army has ordered a lot of aircraft from your aircraft factory. I think the aircraft is still very useful!" Prince is still tasting the tea in the cup.
"Yeah! The plane made people realize the dream of flying! Does your Highness want to try the feeling of flying? Or should I send you some of the latest planes!"
"Hum! It seems that the plane is not very safe! Last year, one of our military planes crashed. In case of what happened when I was flying, Germany's future will depend on you!" Prince sneered.
"How could it be! High prince, the accident last year was caused by improper operation of the pilot!" Chen Tian felt that he should not fight with this guy, just go to the topic.
"Then His Royal Highness means..."
"I am still very optimistic about the future market of aircraft! So I decided to help you sell your aircraft!"
"Help me sell the plane?" Chen Tian was very confused. What medicine is this guy selling in the gourd?
"Yes! Except for the aircraft you reserved and provided to the German army, I will be responsible for the sales of other aircraft! Of course, you will not be allowed to lose money. How about 55% of the profits of aircraft sales?"
55 points? At that time, the profit of the plane was not high. Why did he want this profit?
"In addition, without my consent, the production technology of the aircraft shall not be transferred to others!"
God!
Chen Tian suddenly realized! Without Prince's consent, no country should want Germany's advanced aircraft or aircraft technology, which is a favorable international political bargaining chip! Even more frightening is that when most people use airplanes as a toy, this guy actually sees that in the future, countries will definitely pay more and more attention to airplanes.
"How? If you agree, sign this contract!" Prince said, taking the document from the bodyguard and handing it to Chen Tian.
Passing by? Chen Tian smiled helplessly, it seems that this guy is just prepared, can he not sign?
"May we all cooperate happily!" Prince even brought champagne.
"Cheers!" Chen Tian squeezed out his smile.
After coming to this world, Chen Tian paid the calculated taste for the first time!
And my own money...
