Westerners are really lazy in choosing names, Alfred Krupp's father was called Friedrich, and then Alfred named his son Friedrich.
Friedrich later committed suicide in the wake of a homosexual scandal, leaving behind only one woman, who, if he had, would probably have named him Alfred.
Well, it's not possible that Friedrich's daughter married Gustav Krupp, who later named his son Alfred.
In short, time is not wasted.
Look at the family, life is called a savings, cost accounting has reached the extreme, the two names are used back and forth, the business card does not need to be printed too much, and the grandfather's business card can be directly used by his grandson in the future.
Since he also did not participate in the negotiations, Alfred Krupp had enough time to harass Li Mu, so from the first day of the negotiations, Alfred Krupp ran to Li Mu's Governor's Island.
All the people who came were guests, Li Mu must have greeted him with a smile, and Alfred was also interested in making friends, so the relationship between the two was very harmonious, as long as they didn't talk about the ongoing negotiations.
However, the bosses of the two large groups sit together, and the two groups are engaged in cooperative negotiations, and the negotiations have become a topic that cannot be avoided.
"We already have the technology of smokeless gunpowder, so we can build a smokeless gunpowder factory on our own without the assistance of the Junma Group."
Alfred was extremely complacent.
In fact, the technology of smokeless gunpowder is really not so profound, it is a matter of piercing a layer of window paper, smokeless gunpowder has been born for more than a year, with Krupp's technology, it is not difficult to conquer smokeless gunpowder.
The difficulty is patent authorization, Li Mu has long expected this situation, so when the smokeless gunpowder was successfully developed, Li Mu sent people to run all over the European continent, as long as there are countries with patent laws, the legal department of Junma Group has all run over, and Germany also has patent laws, so of course Germany will not let go.
In short, the current situation is that although Krupp has smokeless gunpowder technology, it is suffering from no patent authorization, so Alfred has to pinch his nose and ask for cooperation with the Zefma Group.
"This seems to be something that Henry and Friedrich should consider, so let's not get involved."
Li Mu didn't want to talk about this issue, talking about money hurts feelings.
"Do you think you can bypass us" Alfred's words made Li Mu lose his temper.
Yes, no matter what the result of the negotiation teams of the two groups pops up, they can't get around Li Mu and Alfred, the Germans are real, and there is no point in going around in circles with real people.
Li Mu remembered that it should be a few years later, it was the Germans who were known for their "realism" who sold the commission rifle that had nothing to do with the Mauser factory as a Mauser rifle to the Qing Empire, and ruthlessly pitted the Qing Empire.
Krupp has always been famous for its artillery, while the small arms of the Junma Group have now been purchased from the Far East and Europe, and these two companies are naturally complementary, and if they can be negotiated, they can reach a higher level with each other.
"Well, I believe that you do have the technology of smokeless gunpowder, but this does not change anything, the patent transfer fee that should be paid must be paid, otherwise the basis for our cooperation will no longer exist, I think in this regard, you should not self-destruct the Great Wall."
Li Mu is not worried that Alfred will not give royalties, if Krupp ignores the bottom line and privately sets up a smokeless gunpowder factory, then the Junma Group can also produce artillery using Krupp technology.
If Li Mu is willing, organize a group of military experts to reverse the Krupp artillery technology, and it is not difficult to form drawings, and with the hydraulic boost and liquid-gas re-entry technology of the Junma Group, the Junma Group can produce artillery with more advanced performance.
"Of course not, so we should cooperate."
Alfred didn't know that the ZAMA Group had hydraulic boosting and liquid-gas re-entry technology, so Alfred was still a little confident.
Li Mu also didn't plan to tell Alfred about the hydraulic boost and liquid-gas re-entry technology, the French used these technologies to pit the Germans for decades, but the Germans were not vegetarians, and they couldn't study rapid artillery, so the Germans made a fuss about the range and power, and as a result, the German artillery made the French suffer a lot in World War I.
In Li Mu's plan, Junma Arms Company will assist Krupp in Germany to build a smokeless gunpowder factory and transfer the corresponding light weapons patents to Krupp in Germany; The German company Krupp will help the Junma Arms Company to build an artillery factory, transfer the corresponding technology of guns below 200 mm to the Junma Artillery Factory, and ensure that the Junma Artillery Factory has the ability to cast guns of less than 200 mm.
Krupp still has a foundation in technology, especially in the barrel tight barrel and wire tight gun body of the gun, Krupp's technology is world-class, a few years ago Krupp company began to use the bolt type locking machine, this new door technology can better seal the tail of the gun, withstand the huge pressure of gunpowder gas on the bottom of the bore, to improve the range and power of the gun is of great significance.
This is also the reason why Li Mu values Krupp.
It's not that Li Mu doesn't want a larger caliber artillery, it's just that Junma Weapons Company can't get the corresponding technology exchange, Li Mu doesn't want to give hydraulic boost and liquid-gas re-entry technology to the Germans, and the Germans want patents for electric lights and telephones, this appetite is too big, Li Mu won't give it anyway, so Li Mu is ready to let Junma Laboratory and the U.S.
Navy jointly develop artillery with a caliber of more than 200 mm.
Of course, the model is still the model of the Horse Group and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but this time Party A and Party B have dropped one by one, the US Navy has paid for the research, and the technology researched by the Horse Laboratory is owned by the Horse Weapons Company, but the Horse Weapons Company will provide the corresponding artillery for the US Navy at cost price in the future.
It doesn't matter who takes advantage, everyone takes what they need.
Li Mu has a good relationship with the U.S.
Navy, in fact, George Dewey and Mahan are both from the Navy, although George Dewey is now under the management of the War Department, but George Dewey is still on the roster of admirals, and Mahan is now the Taishan Beidou of the U.S.
Navy, because Mahan is the first "naval expert" in the United States to put forward the theory of system, so the U.S.
Navy is eager to hold Mahan up to the sky, such as "the founder of modern naval theory" and "the father of the U.S.
Navy" and other titles are placed on Mahan's head without money.
If it weren't for the fact that the history of the United States is too short, Mahan would be the "father of the navy" in the world.
When Mahan was perfecting his theory of sea power, Li Mu also helped, and Mahan did not forget this, so Mahan emphasized this point in his original version of the theory of sea power.
However, by the time the theory of sea power was published, all the texts about Li Mu were deleted.
Of course, Li Mu knew what was going on, and this was because the US Navy did not want to see a Chinese take away the glory that belonged to the white people.
Li Mu has no opinion on this, and the navy must also admit it, so this cooperation is very promising.
"Regarding electric lights and telephones, if technology transfer is impossible, but the two of us can jointly set up a company to produce electric lights and telephones for the European market, which must have been mentioned in previous contacts, what do you mean" Li Mu left a hand at the beginning, and the right to give the rose company is to sell in the United Kingdom, at most plus France, so that Li Mu still has room to toss in Europe.
Just last October, under the facilitation of Bismarck, the "iron-blooded prime minister", the German emperor and the Russian and Austrian emperors formed a "three-emperor alliance", through which Germany achieved its goal of isolating and weakening France.
Russia strengthened its forces against Britain in Central Asia and the security guarantee on its western frontiers, which eased the contradictions between Russia and Austria in the Balkans at that time.

What Bismarck did not expect was that Russia and Austria had irreconcilable contradictions on the Balkan issue, so the Russian-Austrian cooperation that Bismarck had to force could not last, so the period of the "Three Emperors Alliance" was only three years, and Germany joined the "Three Emperors Alliance" originally to contain and isolate France, but this action made the Russians feel uneasy, so after the second period of the Three Emperors Alliance, the Russians triggered the Bulgarian crisis, which eventually led to the complete disintegration of the "Three Emperors Alliance", And in the First World War, the former allies fought hard.
According to Li Mu's idea, the Junma Group should also reach an agreement with Krupp, and the Junma Group and Krupp will jointly establish the Junke Krupp Company in Munich, Germany, to produce electric lights and telephones for sale to the European continent, and the Junma Group still takes technology as a shareholder, accounting for 51 percent of the shares, and Krupp's capital contribution should be at least 35 million gold marks, which is about 10 million US dollars, accounting for 49 percent of the shares.
According to the analysis of the value of the shares of the Rose Company, Krupp took a big advantage, they only paid 10 million dollars, but they occupied a stake worth nearly 100 million dollars, but the Germans had a geographical advantage in Europe, and they were also responsible for selling electric lights and telephones, so it was not too much to take advantage of it.
You must know that the essence of the European continent is in Britain and France, which other countries, such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands and other countries are already yesterday's yellow flowers, Germany has just been reunified, and Austria-Hungary is half-dead with the sign of "the sick man of Europe", so these countries do not have much market.
Comprehensive analysis, the advantage is still the horse group, this is the advantage of mastering the core technology, as long as the horse group has been in the leading position in technology, no one can shake the hegemony of the horse group
