Today's Lanfang is much larger than the territory during the Dutch colonial period. After adding the Guinea territory under Australian rule, Lanfang has about 18,000 islands.
Since there are islands, sandy beaches and sunshine are indispensable, which are essential elements for a tourist attraction.
There are many islands in Lanfang that are ready to be developed into tourist resorts, the most eye-catching of which is Bali.
Bali is a tourist destination recognized all over the world.
In order to attract engineers and technical workers from the Krupp factory to voluntarily work in Lanfang, Qin Zhiyuan ordered people to take pictures and make a beautiful album to increase Lanfang's appeal.
For Europeans who don’t have enough sunshine, sunshine is really a scarce resource. No need to introduce it further, just by the bright sunshine, white sandy beaches and crystal-clear sea water in the pictures, these people who have never been to the Far East have already become familiar with it.
The Germans formed enough temptations.
Therefore, when the meeting resumed, the atmosphere became particularly lively.
Are there more albums? We need to ask for more people's opinions. A well-dressed middle-aged man couldn't wait to ask.
Middle-aged men are at that age, and the entire family may have to rely on their meager salary to survive. Creating better living conditions for the family is the responsibility of every man.
For them, the country is important, but the life of a family is more urgent.
It was obvious that this senior person, who seemed to be working in an office, had already considered going to Lanfang.
If they choose not to go to Lanfang or Corsica, but are unwilling to leave Krupp, will Frank Company refuse those people? A worker representative wearing glasses asked.
This person looks older and has almost reached retirement age. Such people are generally unwilling to leave their hometown, but at the same time they value the security of life after retirement.
These people have worked for Krupp all their lives. Under normal circumstances, these people will retire normally and then receive ten or twenty years of pension to live in retirement. But Krupp no longer exists, and they are loyal to it.
A lifetime's worth of business disappears, and the future is no longer guaranteed.
Of course, Long Chengxuan would not be decisive and made a promise with a sincere expression: Please rest assured that Frank Company is not inhumane. Since we have taken over Krupp Company, we will take over everything of Krupp, including Krupp’s
history.
Before arriving, the delegation had already done some deductions about the problems that it might encounter. Basically, the delegation had plans for various situations that it might encounter, so that it would not be in a hurry.
At the same time, the delegation has the authorization of Qin Zhiyuan. If any undiscussed issues arise when communicating with the worker representatives, the delegation can make its own decision. In this way, no matter what the problem is, Long Chengxuan will immediately give the answer to those who are serious.
Workers who are in a state of hesitation and helplessness have enough confidence.
Qin Zhiyuan originally planned to pack up and take away these factories, but also take away the R&D institutions and skilled workers in these factories. There are only machines but not enough workers to operate them, and those machines have no effect.
Before this, we have communicated with Mr. Gustav that after Frank Company took over Krupp, all the debts of the previous Krupp factory belonged to Frank Company, including of course the pensions of retired workers. At this stage, although
Frank Company will not open a factory in Germany, but it will have a permanent office in Essen. Retired workers at the Krupp factory can receive pensions from this office. If you don't want cash, you can also use food of equal value.
Instead, Long Chengxuan continued the introduction.
The last point is particularly important. In Germany, supplies are still in extreme shortage. The Krupp factory is in a better situation because it is an important national department. The lives of ordinary Germans are already in embarrassment.
Money is a good thing, but it is not popular in Germany at present, because even if you have money, you cannot buy many things. The shops are indeed open every day, but the shelves are empty.
After the armistice agreement was signed, future U.S. President Herbert Hoover was in charge of the European relief plan. He pleaded for food to be sent to Germany, but was rejected by the Allied leaders, including U.S. President Wilson who proposed the Fourteen Points.
The food replacement plan of the Lanfang delegation came into being at the right time, just to provide help in times of crisis when Germany is in extreme distress. This is much better than the icing on the cake.
Sure enough, after hearing Long Chengxuan's introduction, even Friedrich, who was most hostile to the Lanfang delegation, breathed a sigh of relief.
Friedrich has retired and is still working hard at such an old age. Although his feelings for the Krupp factory are an important factor, deep down in his heart, he may not be worried about the future.
Now that he heard with his own ears that the future was guaranteed, Friedrich changed his attitude towards the Frank Company.
What kind of treatment can we have? If we go to Corsica or Lanfang, will the Frankish company treat us equally as it treats the French and Chinese? Can our young people be promoted when our technology begins to spread?
At that time, will we be laid off easily and without any reason? Also, our emperor's attitude towards the Chinese is not very friendly, so will Qin treat us in the same way? A worker representative who has never spoken has raised the question in one breath
A long list of questions.
Compared with the previous questions, these questions are more realistic, which also means that they are currently seriously considering whether to join Frank Company.
Long Chengxuan's mission is to dispel these people's doubts and give them enough confidence.
Senior Brand, do you remember me? Long Chengxuan suddenly called out Brand's name.
You're Blonde with your mouth wide open to express surprise.
I'm Long Tom, and that's my brother Tony, who was all smiles at Longchengxuan in Aachen.
God, you are Tom, you are Tony. God, I can’t believe it. Brand stood up in surprise, obviously raising his arms and wanted to go this way to give Long Chengxuan a hug, but he was a little hesitant when he saw the two distinct parts of the conference room.
.
Long time no see, Senior Blond. Long Chengxuan did not hesitate, strode over and gave Blond a rather firm hug.
It had been a long time since Brand had seen him and he could only mutter to himself. He had not yet recovered from the shock.
Senior brother, thank God for allowing me to see you again. Long Chengyuan also came over and gave Brand a big hug.
Junior Brother Brand murmured to himself.
It seemed that the long-lost memories had finally been uncovered. Brand finally remembered the two young boys who had just arrived in Germany and connected them with the two high-spirited young people in front of him.
This dramatic and unexpected scene caught everyone present by surprise.
It took a long time for the Xuanyuan brothers and Brand to calm down, and Long Chengxuan introduced the story of their acquaintance to the people waiting for answers.
That was when the two Xuanyuan brothers first arrived in Germany, ten years ago. At that time, the two Xuanyuan brothers were fifteen and sixteen years old, and Brand was a graduate student who was about to graduate from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Aachen.
The Xuanyuan brothers came to study at the University of Aachen, which was similar to directional training in another time and space. They did not need to take exams and entered the University of Aachen directly after paying a fee.
Brand was their senior at the time. At the University of Aachen, the two brothers Brand and Xuanyuan had a very good relationship. Brand taught the Xuanyuan brothers to learn German, and the Xuanyuan brothers also taught Brand to learn German. They complemented each other well, and this is how senior brothers and junior brothers came to be.
of.
Don't blame Brand for not recognizing the two Xuanyuan brothers. In the eyes of Westerners, Eastern people's faces have no three-dimensional sense. To put it bluntly, they all have a big pie face and look similar. It's understandable that Brand couldn't recognize them.
.
But Brand was indeed the first friend the Xuanyuan brothers made after arriving in Germany. The Xuanyuan brothers certainly remembered Brand fresh. Therefore, when Brand opened his mouth, the Xuanyuan brothers recognized Brand.
The reason is simple. Brand's German accent is the same as that of the two Xuanyuan brothers, full of Dutch-flavored Low German.
The Xuanyuan brothers were in the voice-changing stage when they met Brand, and Brand could not recognize the mature voices of the Xuanyuan brothers. Brand, however, has already passed the voice-changing stage, and his voice has not changed much over the years.
After Long Chengxuan finished explaining, everyone discovered that Brand and Long Chengxuan were sitting on chairs next to each other, as if they had been sitting like this since they entered the conference room.
As a result, the confrontational atmosphere in the conference room immediately eased a lot. Knowing that the two young men in front of them had studied in Germany before, the worker representatives of the Krupp factory immediately found the two Xuanyuan brothers very pleasing to their eyes, and they also expressed their resistance to the Frank Company.
The psychology also needs to be relaxed a lot.
Please rest assured that in our Frank Company, or in Corsica, or in Lanfang, there is absolutely no ethnic distinction. We only have one ethnic group, and that is the Lanfang people. If you are still not sure, then I suggest that you temporarily
Don't make a decision, you can go to Corsica or Lanfang for a walk and see it. Just treat it as a vacation and go to the beach in Bali to bask in the sun or have a lively and happy bonfire party.
, such scenes happen every day in Bali. You can bring your family with you, and Frank Company will bear all the expenses of the trip. Long Chengxuan did not lose the opportunity.
Sunshine is full of temptations for current Germans.
You must know that it is November. The sun in Germany does not rise until nine o'clock in the morning and sets at four o'clock in the afternoon. Germans feel that they are about to go moldy. They are like green plants longing for sunlight without sufficient sunshine.
There is no life.
Of course I want to go, and I also want to go to your laboratory in Corsica to have a look. You may not know that when your name appeared in the newspaper, although many Germans cursed you, Alice
I have cut out all the newspapers related to you, but it is a pity that your faces are not on them, otherwise I would have recognized you. Brand was in high spirits.
Alice is Brand's classmate and also Brand's wife. The two Xuanyuan brothers also know Alice. Speaking more carefully, the two Xuanyuan brothers are even more familiar with Alice.
Regarding those newspapers, the news about the two Xuanyuan brothers is actually negative.
The two Xuanyuan brothers are helping Qin Zhiyuan research and improve weapons. These two Orientals who were educated at Aachen University have become traitors in the eyes of the Germans. German newspapers sometimes help Qin Zhiyuan because of his goodwill towards Germans.
He said a few nice words, but was not very polite to the Xuanyuan brothers.
But that was all in the past. From now on, the German publishing media should have positive images about the Chinese, otherwise Crown Prince Wilhelm will not let them go.
