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. 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 entrusted a friend to investigate the two men, and it turned out that they were indeed from Italy, but not from the government, but from the royal family. This news was really good for Maxim.
Since the two visiting people were really representatives of Italy, Maxim naturally gave up his plan to develop in England. After all, he was not familiar with the place in England, so a sincere invitation from Italy would be better.
So then Maxim 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 favor 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 how to deal with these people. Then he started chatting with them.
"I heard that your family is from the Hugo family?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Can you tell me? I'm curious about 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 down in the United States. Carlo also played a good role as a listener. After hearing that they were expelled from France, he showed an angry expression.
He looked sad when he was able to cross the ocean to the United States, and he looked happy when he finally settled down in the United States.
In short, Carlo has become very good at this and can make the people he talks to feel good about him.
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 started talking about business. "Mr. Maxim, you know the purpose of this invitation, right?"
Faced with Carlo's question, Maxim replied, "I know it very well."
"Then I want to tell you a little bit more. This invitation comes from the royal family, so it is a little different from the government invitation. First, the automated weapons developed by you need to get into 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 the same, the actual situation is still different. If the royal family invests, it will not be so stuck in terms of funds, and it will be easier
Obtaining 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.
And Carlo informed in advance that in addition to avoiding some misunderstandings in the future, he also had plans to consider for himself. A monarch with high moral character is more popular, especially for Italy, which lacks talents, and Carlo still remembers some of it.
The names of famous people are even more so.
"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 know, 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 and 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 born in a poor family, and he had some understanding of the situation in Europe. Asking a monarch to host a reception dinner for him was not an ordinary courtesy.
"Your Majesty, this is really grand. Your kindness and generosity will surely be admired by the world."
Faced with Maxim's gratitude, Carlo planned to make another big 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, and we have never been so before."
Although he didn't know why Carlo asked this, Maxim told him truthfully.
"That's it. I'm sorry that I remembered it wrong." Carlo apologized, and then he 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 civilians were born.
Many people have been awarded noble titles for their contributions to Italy, and I hope the Maxim family can also have this honor."
Carlo's words could not 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 common people's desire for nobility 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 title of nobility is not just an honor.
Facing the grateful Maxim, 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, and even when they left, they felt as if they were 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 needed to go to Brescia next, because there were
A small arsenal invested by the royal family is called Beretta Arms Company, and Maxim will serve as the company's chief designer.
