Wilhelm didn't have to worry that the guys who left would make things difficult for him. He had already figured out so counterasures. If they dare to have any ambitions, he is happy to send these people into concentration camps as coolies.
After discussing so other issues, Wilhelm announced that the eting was adjourned and went to another conference room.
The atmosphere here is even more serious. As soon as Annie and Ina opened the door of the eting room, a thick cloud of smoke burst out, making Wilhelm instinctively step back. "Fuck, is there a fire?"
Everyone in the conference room was smoking, and the entire conference room was filled with haze.
"Pinch out the cigarettes!" Wilhelm shouted loudly. "Who is sitting by the window? Open it now!" It seems that there is no ventilation fan invented yet? He can apply for a patent again.
Several windows in the conference room were pushed open, and the smoke in the room drifted out. It took a long ti for Wilhelm to enter the conference room." are you all crazy, everyone wants to get lung cancer, right?"
Old Bowen, who was sitting in the front row, asked worriedly. "His Royal Highness, can it really succeed? Germany will not fall into chaos?"
Wilhelm smiled disapprovingly. "Why don't you think about the benefits you are about to get? Maybe that will make it easier for you." Then he looked out the window. "What's going on there?"
The crowd followed Wilhelm's gaze, and they were shocked to see the distant sky gradually reddening. Now it's past nine o'clock in the evening, it can't be sunset, let alone the morning glow.
What the hell is that?
Annie hurried to the window, looked at it for a while, and replied. "His Royal Highness, it seems to be a fire?" After she said so, everyone noticed the black smoke billowing into the sky.
"Then this fire is big enough, go and ask where the fire is."
"Yes!" Ina ran out of the eting room to make a call, and reported back soon. "His Royal Highness, the Deutsche Hotel is on fire!"
Wilhelm frowned slightly. "Huh? Is the fire under control? Why did it catch fire?"
"Now the fire is still burning, it's too fierce, I am afraid it can't be controlled for a while. I heard the hotel manager who escaped said that it was caused by a natural gas leak."
"..." The people present listened to the conversation between the two of them, all feeling horrified. Of course they knew what that hotel represents. It was the place where the high-ranking Junkers t once a month. Today was the date of the eting. A natural gas leak caused a fire? Can anyone believe it?
But no one is stupid enough to pick out this matter.
There are already many people secretly calculating how much benefit they can get from the previous promises of His Highness.
"Don't worry about the fire, it will naturally go out when it's ti to go out, the eting continues. Now, everyone was called here because I want to announce one thing. Tomorrow, I will issue a bill against those who don't do practical business, just rely on speculation, lend usury and the hoarding assholes. Actually, I prepared this bill a long ti ago. Do you know why it's only being implented now? Because I was collecting evidence, the newly established departnt of the secret agency actually lacked manpower. It took a while, but they finally completed the task. I heard that the collected materials can be loaded into a truck. Mr. Lawrenz, do you have any questions?"
Lawrenz put down his trembling hands and said in a trembled voice. "His Royal Highness, I, I have also hoarded so food. I am willing to donate them for free."
Almost half of the people raised their hands one after another. Wilhelm waved to them to put down their hands. "You guys are sitting here today because you support . I can't treat you unfairly, can I? So if the hoarded goods are dealt with at market prices, I'll just assu that it hasn't happened before. As I said, since you have chosen to support , then I am obligated to make you rich. I hope you don't get caught up in these petty gains, as long as you believe in , it will not be impossible for you to increase your wealth by ten or twenty tis."
"Mr. Seifert, it seems that you have sothing to say?" Wilhelm pointed at Seifert sitting in the middle section of the conference room, who wanted to ask sothing but due to the fear of interrupting Wilhelm he stopped several tis.
After being nad by Wilhelm, the sweat on Seifert's face rushed down even more, and he trembled for the most part before he spoke. "Yes, Your Highness, I really want to say sothing, but I dare not say it."
Wilhelm gave a gentle smile and comforted him. "Let's talk, you won't be punished for anything you say here today."
Seifert wiped his sweat several tis before asking nervously . "Will you still treat us the sa way in the future?"
"..." The entire conference room beca dead in an instant, as if the sound of a needle falling down was clearly audible, and it seed that the crackling of the flas of the Deutsche Hotel in the distance could be heard. Annie and Ina had already touched the pistols on their waists. As long as the Royal Highness gave an order, they would imdiately kill this foolish man on spot.
Of course Wilhelm would not give such an order, but he really didn't expect that soone would ask such a question in this situation, and he didn't know if this guy was just bold or lacking sothing in his brain. But looking at the other people below, their faces were also a bit stiff, and they seem to have the sa concerns.
Hey, after all, his thods are too extre, so everyone will be scared even if they are replaced with soone else. After thinking about it, he solemnly swore . "Well, as the future emperor of Germany, I promise you that as long as everyone here does not sell out the interests of the empire or harm the people of the empire, you can always be protected by the empire."
Everyone's expressions finally eased. After all, whether it is in the East or the West, "the king never lies" has always been an important thod to restrain the monarch's behavior and show the monarch's authority.
But Wilhelm also knows exactly what the so-called capitalists are, so he has to keep an eye on these guys at all tis. "As I said just now, hoarding and reselling, putting a loan shark, etc. are petty profits. As long as you follow , legitimate business can give you profit you have never seen before. For example, within ten years, there will be countless people with disabilities who lack arms and legs, those who are interested can invest in the prosthetic industry, and develop convenient and durable prostheses that can benefit others and also earn money. Why not do it. There will be countless other choices for you at that ti. Villages and cities are turned into ashes. Reconstruction of these places requires a lot of engineering machinery, materials, and equipnt. Another example is that the current tape recorder is too bulky, you can invest in the developnt of a tape recorder that is easy to carry for one person. Since it is portable, then we need lighter, more durable and long-lasting batteries. There are other things like color TVs and color film, as long as you dare to think, there are business opportunities to make money everywhere.
