"Oscar, the Deutsche Welfare Lottery has suffered heavy losses this time?" William II asked with concern.
In response to the seizure of the business of the German Welfare Lottery Company in Britain, France and Russia, Wilhelm II even held a special meeting in front of the imperial court to discuss it.
The Minister of the Navy, Marshal Earl Tirpitz, was even more worried. Qin Tian provided the navy with a low-interest loan of 100 million marks every year. If the profits of the Deutsche Welfare Lottery are affected by the lottery, will the support for the Navy be reduced? This is a big event for the development of the navy.
"Father, the loss is indeed very large. The direct loss is more than 100 million marks. Not to mention, after losing the markets in these three countries, our profit loss will exceed one-third." Qin Tian's expression also changed. Not very pretty.
All along, Qin Tian's development can be said to be smooth and smooth, and he has hardly encountered any major setbacks. But now, Britain, France and Russia have directly used national administrative orders to deal him a major blow.
"Damn! The governments of Britain, France and Russia are really abominable. They are destroying the market economy and free competition by doing this!" William II was furious.
The other high-ranking military and political officials of the empire were also full of anger.
"Your Majesty, we must protest this matter to Britain, France and Russia, and we can't just let it go." Foreign Minister von Kidren Wachter said. The civil servant faction has now turned to Qin Tian, and Qin Tian's interests have been damaged, which means that their interests have also been endangered.
"Protesting is probably useless at all. Since Britain, France and Russia dared to do this, they must have already expected our reaction. They will definitely find various reasons to prevaricate us. Anyway, we and Their relationship is already very clear, that is, war is about to break out. Under such circumstances, Britain, France and Russia naturally don't have to be afraid of tearing faces with us." Prime Minister Bernhard von Bülow said.
"Is that the case?" asked Marshal Earl Tirpitz, Minister of the Navy.
Suddenly, there was a silence in the office. Indeed, Britain, France and Russia are slapping Germany in the face, which makes them very angry. However, apart from a few words of protest, they have nothing to do with Britain, France and Russia! Unless it is a direct war. But it is a pity that Germany is not ready for war at all. If there is a war, their chances of winning are not great. So, don't take such a risk.
"Your Excellency Marshal, Deutsche Industries Group's support for the navy will not be affected by this. Although we have lost a large part of profits, the needs of the navy will be guaranteed first." Qin Tian said.
Marshal Earl Tirpitz was relieved. What he feared most was that the navy's shipbuilding plan would be affected by this.
"However, since Britain, France and Russia dare to do this blatantly, we absolutely can't let it go. Father, I request that after defeating Britain, France and Russia in the future war, the losses of the German Welfare Lottery Company will be reduced. They spit it out in multiples!" A ruthless look flashed in Qin Tian's eyes.
Qin Tian has never been a kind man who repays evil with virtue. His own interests have been damaged, how could he remain indifferent? It's just that there is no way to escape to justice now, he can only swallow this breath first. Wait until the time is right for revenge. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! Qin Tian is certainly not a gentleman, but he still has the patience to wait a few years.
"Well, Oscar, it's best if you can think like this. Let's remember the losses that Britain, France and Russia have caused us this time. After defeating them in future wars, we will make Britain, France and Russia pay the price. Since now The Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company lost hundreds of millions of marks. Then, after the war, we will ask Britain, France and Russia to compensate the Deutsche Welfare Lottery Company an additional one billion marks." Wilhelm II said.
"That's right, they must be severely punished!" The other ministers also said one after another.
Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, in future wars, Germany needs to win the war. Otherwise, everything is empty talk.
The next day, the German government protested against the seizure of the German Welfare Lottery by Britain, France and Russia. Sure enough, Britain, France and Russia all began to prevaricate. They not only sealed up the business of the German Welfare Lottery Company, but also set up their own Welfare Lottery Company to take over this business. It can be seen that the governments of the three countries have already planned this for a long time.
The loss of the markets of Britain, France and Russia certainly caused the German Welfare Lottery to suffer heavy losses in profits. However, the bad news didn't end there. According to news from the US branch, the US government seems to be interested in taking action on the market of Deutsche Welfare Lottery.
The US market is also a huge market for Deutsche Welfare Lottery. Even, the profits obtained from the United States have exceeded the profits obtained from the mainland. If the US market is lost after losing the markets of Britain, France and Russia, it will be a serious blow to the German Welfare Lottery.
"Your Highness, the information we have obtained is that the British are fanning the flames. They are inciting those who are jealous of our profits and want to drive us out of the American market." Carl von Jonalet's face was very ugly.
"The British move is really vicious!" Qin Tian couldn't help but sighed.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?" Karl asked.
Qin Tian thought for a while, Americans have always valued profits. As long as there is profit, they dare to do anything. Therefore, we can only think of a way from this aspect.
"Carl, inform our partners in the United States to adjust the profit distribution starting next month. Originally, we took 60% of the profits. Now, we are willing to give up 20% of the profits. In addition, they will also be responsible for arranging 20% of the profits for welfare undertakings!" Qin Tian said.
"Your Highness, do you want to give up so much profit? If the profits used for welfare are also handed over to them, they will definitely swallow them all. Those guys are very greedy, and they have never had any bottom line. " Carl said, frowning.
"I can't control that much anymore. Being able to keep 40% of the profit is also a major victory for us. It's better than losing all of us and not getting any profit at all!"
Although he was very unwilling, Karl still nodded, he knew Qin Tian was right to do so.
