Chapter 67: Maybach and Daimler

The matter of Gram has been resolved, but the subsequent arrival of Benz and his party is the real trouble.

Among the three founders of Benz, only Benz came to Spain voluntarily.

The remaining Daimler and Maybach were all kidnapped; if they are determined not to work for Spain, then Yu Kaluo will have to painfully accept the loss of these talents in the fields of automobiles and engines.

Another two weeks passed before the talents from Germany successfully arrived in Madrid.

"Your Majesty, the people you wish to see have arrived in the reception hall." As Yu Kaluo was reviewing reports on industrial development, the butler Luo Lun stepped forward to remind him that the guests had arrived.

"Have that fellow Ka Dier come to see me as well; we must give these kidnapped people some kind of explanation, after all," Yu Kaluo nodded and then instructed.

"Mr. Ka Dier is already waiting outside," Butler Luo Lun said with a smile.

Kidnapping people does not mean the end; how to handle these talents is also a problem. If they are willing to join Spanish nationality, it is naturally a win-win.

But if they are unwilling, Ka Dier will have to dispose of them cleanly and pretend nothing happened.

Yu Kaluo nodded and walked toward the reception hall of the Wang Gong in Madrid.

As the third-largest palace in Europe, second only to Fanersaigong and Meiquangong, the Wang Gong in Madrid can only be described as massive and luxurious.

There are over a dozen reception halls provided for the monarch and royal family members to meet guests, each possessing a variety of styles.

Benz and his party were arranged in a small reception hall on the far west side of the Wang Gong, right next to the massive dining hall that Yu Kaluo had meticulously built, which could prepare delicacies from all over Europe.

The reason for choosing this location to meet Benz and the others is simple. If the result satisfies everyone, Yu Kaluo will invite them to taste Spanish specialties and then discuss matters regarding the automobile industry and engine business.

If the result of the meeting is not so satisfactory, then Ka Dier will have to show the results of his recent training and let the world have a few less people.

In the small reception hall not far away, the atmosphere at this moment seems quite complicated.

The one in a better mood is Karl Benz. He was invited here in the first place and is willing to join Spanish nationality, so naturally, he would not have a bad mood.

But Daimler and Maybach are different. They were forcibly kidnapped by Ka Dier, and the journey from Germany to Madrid was not pleasant, so naturally, they would not have a good expression.

The reception hall was decorated with several precious porcelains and paintings by famous artists. Benz was carefully admiring them under the introduction of a servant nearby, while Daimler and Maybach sat silently in their seats without saying a word.

Suddenly, the door of the reception hall was pushed open, and Yu Kaluo walked in with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty!" The servants were the first to bow to Yu Kaluo.

Benz also reacted and bowed to Yu Kaluo using German etiquette.

Everyone's eyes turned to Daimler and Maybach, who had made no move; even if the two had any objections, they had no choice but to perform a German-style bow to Yu Kaluo at this moment.

The current monarchy is still quite popular in Europe, and these Germans have been bathed in a monarchical environment since childhood, so their respect and fear of Wang Quan are also from the heart.

"No need to be so formal, Mr. Benz, Mr. Daimler, Mr. Maybach," Yu Kaluo nodded and said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, this is actually a misunderstanding. My intention was to invite you to come to Spain, not through kidnapping," Yu Kaluo continued.

For talents like Daimler and Maybach, Yu Kaluo is quite willing to show his sincerity. Of course, sincerity is also limited.

If the other party is not sensible, Yu Kaluo cannot make too many concessions.

"Your Majesty Yu Kaluo, it is an honor to meet you," Benz said first.

Benz was already willing to come to Spain, not to mention that Yu Kaluo, as a King, also had a close and friendly attitude, which made Benz feel that his decision had no problems at all.

As for Daimler and Maybach being kidnapped, Benz did not know the full story, but he was willing to believe in the more amiable Yu Kaluo.

"Your Majesty Yu Kaluo, I believe this is an accident. May I ask when we can return to Germany? I still have research in progress," the youngest, Wilhelm Maybach, was the first to lose his patience and asked somewhat urgently.

Hearing Maybach's inquiry, Yu Kaluo smiled, appearing very friendly: "I am very sorry, but I heard that the station in Madrid has had some problems recently. If you want to return to Germany, you should probably wait for a while."

When the station in Madrid has problems is just a matter of a word from Yu Kaluo. If he does not want to let Maybach and Daimler go, the train station in Madrid will always have problems.

At this time, Daimler was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Your Majesty, are we unable to return to Germany?"

Yu Kaluo smiled and did not answer.

The scene went quiet instantly, and then Daimler continued: "Fine, it seems we have no choice.

Your Majesty, can you ensure that you will support our research?"

When it came to supporting research, Yu Kaluo had full confidence: "That is for sure. I am very willing to support your research, whether it is in the field of automobiles, mechanics, or engines, I will support you without reservation.

If you are willing to join Spanish nationality, I can establish relevant laboratories to help you conduct research.

Of course, I will also give you relevant shares; your income will definitely far exceed that in Germany, and you will never have to worry about money again."

Hearing the conversation between Daimler and Yu Kaluo, the youngest Maybach finally reacted; the current situation did not seem as optimistic as he had thought.

However, looking at Daimler beside him, and then at Yu Kaluo, who looked confident and expressed his support for their research, Maybach was actually not that repulsed by staying in Spain.

Maybach was born in Germany, but he became an orphan at a very young age and was adopted and raised by a charitable organization.

Because he had no relatives, the most important thing to Maybach was his hobby, which was research in mechanics and engines.

The person he was relatively close to at the moment was Daimler, whom he had only met a short time ago. If he could work with Daimler, it actually didn't matter where they were.

The one most opposed to staying in Spain should be the oldest, Daimler. Because Daimler had already started a family in Germany and had a job as the chief consultant of a machinery factory, his income was quite good.

This kidnapping destroyed his original beautiful life, which is also the reason why Daimler is unwilling to stay in Spain.

The second update, asking for support!
