The way William II looked at Liu Chuan gradually changed.
There was a trace of sternness and helplessness.
Among his children, he did not think highly of Liu Chuan in terms of talent or ability.
And now, he even made a whimsical request to explore the gold mine.
This made William II very disappointed.
"Haha! August, are you still sleeping? How could it be so easy to find a huge gold mine? You should just go to the naval academy!”At this moment, a young man walked in.
He was the eldest son of William II, the current crown prince of the Germanic Empire, William, and also Liu Chuan's elder brother.
Liu Chuan's expression immediately became very ugly.
"Auguste, your brother is right. Don't think about these things. Report to the naval academy as soon as possible!”There was a hint of impatience in William II's tone.
Liu Chuan took a deep breath. He knew that William II was very dissatisfied.
However, he did not want to give up just like that.
"Father, if you don't want to invest in me. Then, I hope that I can use my assets in the royal family's property as collateral to lend you or the royal family a sum of money for this plan!”Liu Chuan said.
The royal family of the Germanic Empire had an extremely large industry. Every member of the royal family could get a share of it after they were born. Although it was not much, it was enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
Now, in order to get money to support his plan, Liu Chuan could only use this method.
"August, are you crazy? For an illusory gold mine that was impossible to find, would you invest your future livelihood in it? If you fail, then you can forget about getting even a Mark from the royal family in the future!”Crown Prince William exclaimed.
William II's expression darkened.
"August, you are already sixteen years old. You have to think before you speak!”William II's words were already very serious.
"Father, I've already thought it through!”Liu Chuan insisted.
"Alright, I'll make the decision. I'll give you four million marks. Use your shares in the royal family's property as collateral. As for the interest, he would follow the bank's interest rate. If you fail, you should know the consequences!”William II said coldly.
He had never been kind to children who did not listen to his arrangements and acted recklessly.
"I won't fail!" After Liu Chuan finished speaking, he turned around and left William II's office.
The news that Liu Chuan used the shares of the royal family's property to mortgage four million marks from William II caused a huge uproar in the entire royal family.
Countless people mocked Liu Chuan for being crazy. Many people even wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
In the upper echelons of the Germanic Empire, he was almost synonymous with fools.
Three days later, Liu Chuan and a middle-aged man were killed in a cafe in Bolin. His name was Charles Jonalette, the son of Jonalette Senior.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect to hear so much about you on this trip back to Bolin.”Charles Jonalette smiled.
"What's wrong? Uncle Charles, are you disappointed in me?”Liu Chuan asked.
"No, Your Highness. On the contrary, I think you are very courageous. However, this is also a gamble. If you don't find a gold mine, then your life will be over. You will never be able to raise your head!”Charles Jonalette said.
"I believe I can succeed." Liu Chuan nodded. Uncle Charles, I need your support. I want to set up a mining company, and I hope you can be the general manager of this company. There are many things that need you to carry out!”
"Your Highness, I'm very happy to work for you. Even though it seemed crazy. But I also hope that you can succeed. Give those who looked down on you a tight slap!”Charles Jonalette said.
"Then, we'll be very busy from now on. We need to register a mining company and recruit enough people. Not only did they need talents in mining, but they also needed a large number of security personnel. "After all, the place we're going to is very primitive and backward. There are even cannibals. In addition, they also needed to find a few ships to transport personnel and equipment over.”Liu Chuan said.
"No problem! Your Highness, leave this to me. Although I haven't made a name for myself all these years, it's not a problem for me to do these small things.”Charles Jonalette patted his chest and said.
Soon, Liu Chuan registered a company called August Mining Company in Bolin and hired Charles Jonalette as the general manager.
Charles Jonalette was also quite talented. He completed the preparations for departure in less than a month.
Not only did they recruit a few mining professionals, but they also recruited thousands of retired personnel to form the company's security force.
These security forces were not only equipped with Mauser 98 rifles, but also Maxim heavy machine guns. It would not be a problem to deal with the natives of the Spice Islands.
After that, they rented two merchant ships to transport all the personnel and equipment.
