Chapter 61
"Mr. Maxim, welcome to Italy."
In the small living room, Carlo stepped forward and shook his hand with Maxim who was still dazed.
It’s not a surprise that Maxim seems to have never seen the world. The main reason is that the experience during this period is a bit unreal. I think he has gone from being driven out of the United States to being warmly welcomed in Europe. In the huge contrast, few people can guarantee that he still has a normal mind.
Originally, Maxim first entrusted a friend to investigate the two people, but it turned out to be from Italy, but it was not from the government's dispatch, but from the royal family. This news was really great for Maxim.
Since the two visiting were really representatives of Italy, Maxim naturally gave up his plan to develop in the UK. After all, he was not familiar with the place in the UK, so how could Italy have sincerely invited me?
So Maxim then agreed to come to Italy to work, and for this he brought his family with him.
Italy was also well prepared for Maxim's arrival. It prepared the first class cabin of a luxury cruise ship for him as soon as possible. When he arrived at the port, he sent servants to greet him and asked his family to board the royal carriage and immediately sent him to Rome.
The Maxi family could not have experienced the care of him along the way.
So as soon as he saw Carlo, Maxim immediately expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your attention to me. I and my family are extremely grateful for such a grand reception."
"This is nothing, this is the treatment you deserve."
Faced with Maxim's thanks, Carlo was naturally very familiar with the road and knew how to deal with these people. Then he started chatting with him.
"I heard that your family is from the Hugo family?"
"Yes, your Majesty."
"Can you tell me? I'm curious how you moved to the United States."
It is rare that a monarch would be interested in his family history, so Maxim talked about his family history.
From the time their family was expelled by France, they continued to settle down in the United States. Carlo also played a very good role as a listener. After hearing that they were expelled by France, he showed an angry expression, and when he could not stay in Britain, he could only travel across the ocean to the United States. After the United States finally settled in, he showed an expression of joy.
In short, Carlo has become proficient in this and can make people who talk to him have a good impression of it.
Of course, not everyone is qualified to make Carlo a listener. All he can do is Tesla, and now he has a Mr. Markchin.
After the two chatted for a while, Carlo started talking about the serious matter. "Mr. Maxim, you know the purpose of the invitation this time."
Facing Carlo's inquiry, Maxim replied. "I know very well."
"Then I want to tell you a little more. This invitation comes from the royal family, so it is a bit different from the government invitation. First of all, the automated weapons developed by you need to enter the eyes of the military before they can be produced."
Yes, Carlo needs to explain the difference between the royal family and the government first. Although the two seem to be different, the actual situation is still different. If the royal family invests, then the funds will not be so stuck and it will be easier to obtain financial support. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages, that is, they will be strictly compared in weapons bidding. If a better choice occurs, the government or the military will not be open just because it is a royal industry.
In addition to avoiding some misunderstandings in the future, Carlo also has plans to consider himself. A monarch with noble character is even more popular, especially for Italy, which lacks talent. Carlo still remembers the names of some celebrities, and this is even more so.
"Thanks to His Majesty Carlo for your advice. I have confidence in myself and don't mind competing with other weapons developers in your country. If others are better than me, then I have no regrets."
As a developer, Maxim has his own pride and he doesn't mind this. You should know that in the United States, there are not so many frames to talk about. As long as you can, it's okay, but if it doesn't work, it's not okay.
Hearing Maxim's words, Carlo smiled happily.
"Mr. Maxim, I also believe that your ability will definitely develop a work that surprises the world."
After a while of conversation, Carlo continued. "Mr. Maxim, for your arrival, I have prepared a small welcome dinner. I hope you can accept my kindness."
Carlo's words touched Maxim a little. He was not from a mud-legged person and knew a little about the situation in Europe. It was not an ordinary courtesy to ask a monarch to hold a reception dinner for him.
"Your Majesty, this is so grand. Your kind and generous light will be admired by the world."
Faced with Maxim's gratitude, Carlo planned to put another handful of heavy information.
"I remember Mr. Maxim's family was originally born of nobles, right?"
"Sorry, your Majesty. Our Markchin family was not born aristocrats, and we have never been."
Although I don't know why Carlo asked this, Maxim told him truthfully.
"I'm so sorry I remember wrongly." Carlo apologized, and then changed his subject. "I personally think that filling in the title of aristocratic for the Maxi family can better reflect your ability. You should know that many people born in civilians have been awarded aristocratic titles for their contributions to Italy. I hope the Maxi family can also have such honors."
Carlo's words were so straightforward that they could not be more straightforward, so Maxim naturally understood it.
"His Majesty……"
At this time, Maxim didn't know what to say, and her tone was already a bit bumpy.
Don’t underestimate the desire of the common people for aristocrats in this era. Every time the queen was named a sir in the 21st century, the newspapers reported it extensively, and a group of people were talking about it. Not to mention that now, the title of aristocrat is not just honor.
Facing the gratitude and tears of grief, Carlo felt very satisfied, because he gained a top weapon design master with just a little effort, and there was no more cost-effective deal than this.
Afterwards, Carlo held a small dinner for the Maxi family in the palace. Although the nobles present did not know what was special about the Maxi family, how could they not know how to deal with it for so many years? This made the Maxi family, who had never felt this treatment, feel like they were in a dream, and even felt like walking lightly when they left.
In the following days, Maxim received multiple receptions from Carlo. After staying for three days, Maxim left Rome with a grateful attitude. Because he needed to go to Brescia next, there was a small arsenal invested by the royal family, called Beletta Weapons Company, and Maxim will serve as the company's chief designer.
