Chapter 18 Forced to Joint Venture ()

When Xiao Jie heard Napoleon's answer, he was a little angry, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind: Does he want to take it alone? Wouldn't he be against me? The four words "killing and silence" flashed into Xiao Jie's mind, but they were then denied by him. No matter how much he said, he was still his nephew. Although he could make a lot of money this time, he wouldn't be so cruel. So he calmed down and asked, "Why? Can you tell me the reason?"

Napoleon knew what Xiao Jie was thinking when he saw Xiao Jie's expression. He was still too young. He smiled and said, "Don't think about it randomly, my dear Andresey. Have you ever thought about how much it costs to open a weapon manufacturing site? You need to buy equipment, land, build factories, recruit workers, and hire technicians. You also have to establish relationships with the government and the army, otherwise do you think someone will buy your rifle? This is not something you, a child, can handle."

After hearing what Napoleon said, Xiao Jie's frown was stretched out. He knew that he had thought it was too simple before. Originally, as long as his rifle was of good quality and performance, he would not have to worry about no one buying it. Now he knew that there were so many complicated things. So he asked, "Uncle, what about your opinion?"

"Haha, it's very simple. Of course, I'm looking for someone with great power to cooperate with him." Napoleon said with a smile.

Xiao Jie suddenly understood what Napoleon meant: He wanted to get a piece of the pie, who? He didn't even let his nephew go. But under the roof, he had to bow his head. Who said that he had no money or no right now? Just this time, he would never let others take advantage of him in the future. Even if he was my uncle, Xiao Jie said secretly in his heart. "Then who do you think you are suitable for?" Xiao Jie pretended to be stupid.

Napoleon also knew that Xiao Jie was pretending to be stupid. He didn't have so much time to talk nonsense with Xiao Jie, so he said, "Does it need to be said? The wealth is not flowing to outsiders. Your uncle, I am definitely your best partner. In terms of money, although I am not very rich, I can still get tens of millions of francs. In terms of power, who else can compare with me in France?"

"Okay. Let's follow your arrangements." After hearing Napoleon say this, Xiao Jie had no choice but to compromise.

Napoleon saw that his goal had been achieved and he was in a good mood.

After a while, Xiao Jie asked, "Then uncle, how do we distribute the final profit?"

Napoleon looked at Xiao Jie and said, "Don't worry, uncle won't treat you badly. You don't have to worry about anything, just wait and share the money. We will pay the bill in the end."

"What? Two or eight points. He is too cruel." Xiao Jie cried in his heart. He wouldn't naively think that he accounts for 80% and Napoleon accounts for 20%. So he pretended to be pitiful and said, "Uncle, this is too little. It took me four years to design it!"

"Oh my God! Andreci, 20% is already a lot. You have to know that France has hundreds of thousands of troops. If they all replace them with the Type 1802 rifle, how much will it cost? 20% of yours is definitely an astronomical figure."

"But you earned four times that of mine." Xiao Jie said coldly.

"You have to know that I not only have to pay, but also deal with various social relations. And I also have to order from the Army Department, they are all greedy guys."

"Based on your current status, it's not a problem that can be solved in just one sentence." Xiao Jie obviously didn't buy it at all. "Just ask, what is the total investment in building such a factory."

Napoleon didn't understand what Xiao Jie meant, but he replied: "I'll forget it, it's about 30 million francs, which is almost half my net worth."

"It costs so much." Xiao Jie was also shocked when he heard this number. He realized how naive he was. He thought that 10 million was enough. But then he looked at Napoleon thoughtfully and thought: I can't see that Napoleon is quite rich. It has been only six years since he became rich. As expected, none of the officials have many things. The bigger the official, the more greedy he is. You must know that France's fiscal revenue is only 300 million to 400 million francs. In order to get the greatest benefit, Xiao Jie thought for a while and said, "This is how you can take out 30 million at once. It will definitely occupy funds from other places. Why not call my father here too. He is more proficient in investment and business, and can also reduce your investment in funds."

Napoleon didn't expect Xiao Jie to make such a request. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse. From a certain perspective, Xiao Jie seemed to be considering him. After all, this would greatly reduce his funding gap. After thinking about it, let's forget it. Anyway, everyone is a family, so there is no need to be so stale. Joseph is his eldest brother and has always taken good care of himself. After repeated designing the drawings, his son made them, so there is no reason to leave him halfway. Moreover, the money he earned this time will be very much, so it's appropriate to give it to his brother. So he agreed to Xiao Jie's request and sent someone to find Joseph.

About half an hour later, Joseph arrived in a hurry. He didn't know what Napoleon had to ask him for. When he heard Napoleon tell him the matter, he immediately knew that this was definitely a great opportunity to make a fortune. He looked at Xiao Jie happily and said to himself: "It's true that he is my son of Joseph. He can make so much money by making anything. He doesn't forget his father if he has the opportunity to make money. He is indeed my good son."

After more than two hours of negotiation and bargaining, the final agreement was finally reached. Napoleon and Joseph invested 15 million francs to build a factory, and if additional investment was needed, the two would be equally distributed. Originally, they decided to build a new factory, but considering that it was too slow, they decided to acquire an arms company so that they could start production as soon as possible and make money as soon as possible. What Xiao Jie needed to pay was the drawing and solve some technical problems that might arise. Then Napoleon was responsible for settleing the orders of the government and Napoleon's Army Department, while Joseph was responsible for daily operations and management. The final profit was Napoleon accounted for 50%, Joseph accounted for 30%, and Xiao Jie accounted for 20%.

In general, everyone is quite satisfied with such a distribution result. After all, this cake is too big, which will bring them huge wealth.

Xiao Jie was very happy. This can be said to have solved a major problem in his future development. With this startup capital, he still has so many good things in his hands. Why worry about not being able to make money? With money, everything will be easy.
