The reason why Xiao Letian came to the Ruhr industrial area was very clear, it was to tie the most famous weapon factory Krupp to his own Chinese chariot.

Both sides established joint ventures with different branches in the Ryukyu, including the Northern Industrial Zones, to produce the mainstream weapons for future wars.

The choice of Krupp made sense, because the company was Germany's most important military industrial conglomerate until the end of World War II.

They had the ability to develop technology, huge financial resources, and countless talent reserves. Until the end of the Second World War, the cannons produced by the Krupp were the most advanced in the world.

This was a company that played with steel and gunpowder to the extreme. Refining steel into cannons had already become an eternal and everlasting gene in this family's bloodline!

If Krupp's arsenal could be moved to Asia, then Chinese steel smelting and gun-making would leap to world-class levels.

If they gave up on the Krupp and chose to find their own way, then in order to catch up to the flow of the world, the Chinese would need at least twenty to thirty years of hard work.

Time does not wait! In this era of national rise, there was no time left to waste!

Xiao Letian passionately displayed his plan to the Mr. Krupp, from the location of the weapons factory to the share sharing between both parties, as well as the definition of management rights, to even the amount of shares held by the Krupp technology, he gave a clear explanation.

Furthermore, Xiao Letian had also predicted the possibility of a war erupting in Asia in the future! The future Asian arms trade will be the most lucrative of all business.

"Dear Mr. Krupp, can you imagine, just how many cannons would be needed to build a long coastline in China? Just how many huge shore defense cannons were needed? "What kind of cooperation project is this?"

"To be honest, a business like this, not only the British are paying attention, even the Americans is fighting for it. This is a huge business deal with tens of thousands of silver taels as a unit!"

"If we were to build a joint venture in Asia, then no other country's arsenal would be a match for us. "We have taken all the advantages and disadvantages of the world. I don't think you would be unmoved by such a profitable transaction …"

Xiao Letian continued to demonstrate his beautiful prospects of cooperation with the Mr. Krupp! It was a pity, however, that Krupp's expression was very faint from the beginning to the end. Although he had been listening politely, anyone could feel the sense of rejection from his body.

After finishing his speech, the Head of the Guards looked at Mr. Krupp quietly. "Dear Sir, do you have any objections?"

Krupp smiled wryly. "Führer!" I thank you very much for your kind intentions. I also hope to cooperate with you for a long time in my arsenal! "It doesn't matter. No matter how many cannons you need, you can place an order at my weapons factory. We will produce them for you!"

"But... If you want to build a factory in Asia, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet your requirements. "

Krupp's meaning was clear. She wanted me to buy the cannon, and I could sell it to you, but it would have to be manufactured in Europe and shipped to Asia by sea. As for the joint venture in Asia, that was impossible.

General Cai Mao, who was standing beside Xiao Letian, anxiously asked, "Sir, what do you mean by this? Can't you see our sincerity? "

"This transaction is of no harm to you! Building plants in Asia not only saves distant shipping costs, but China also has vast amounts of coal and iron resources, of a quality no less than that of Europe. This way, the cost of manufacturing cannons will be much lower and our profit point will be much higher! Can't you see that? "

Without waiting for Krupp's reply, Sima Yun spoke out, "Isn't it because of the technology blockade? If I'm not wrong, Mr. Krupp you do not wish to pass the technology on to us Chinese!"

"Lucky for you!" You want to use these unique skills to do a monopolistic, hegemonic business! "

Krupp did not refute, but only smiled faintly, her expression very smug, which meant 'That's what I think, and what can you do to me.'

The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward. The Chinese army officers were all frowning, deeply angry at Krupp's arrogance and insolence. However, it was not appropriate for them to flare up in the presence of the Fiihrer.

Xiao Letian quietly looked at Krupp, and suddenly shook his head regretfully. "To be honest, I am very, very regretful. Your ancestor handing this property over to you was the biggest failure!"

"I dare say! "This glorious corporation will not have any great development in your hands. On the contrary, he will fall into despair sooner or later …"

"Oh!" God! Please take back what you just said. This is an insult to me.

"Just because I refused to cooperate with you, you speak ill of me. Is this the quality of you Chinese? Is that what the Chinese are like? " Krupp was so angry her nose was crooked.

Xiao Letian coldly snorted. "Humiliate? Do you really think I'm humiliating you? I am on the edge of the cliff to save you, with such a glorious history of a company, do I let him fall into an irreparable situation! I have clearly met with the best development opportunity in history, but I didn't expect to catch it.

"No need to glare at me. I can tell you clearly, all the contempt you have towards our Chinese will bear fruit. You don't believe it? "Fine, I'll tell you why!"

"First of all, you must clearly realize that your rejection is against the law of business. If a company wants to expand its business, it must not be complacent. "Going out of the country and going to the world to open up your own market, that is what a businessman can do."

"Unfortunately, your mind is still the old, traditional, pre-colonial mind. Always want to make industrial products at home and then sell them to the world by sea. "

"Dear Mr. Krupp, don't forget that this kind of business model is always left over for others to play! Were there not such models in the British, French, and American armory? Their innate conditions are actually better than yours. "

"How do you compete with those people? They play at sea longer than you! If you don't understand model innovation, your company will be eliminated by the new wave of businesses! "

"I can affirm that the future trend of the world is to build factories at the location of your target market. This is the most effective way to compete for market share. Whoever advances this model first will take the initiative!"
