Austria 1840

Carl and Maria went around the brick factory, the lumber factory, the glass factory, etc. All the factories were in full swing and looked like they were thriving.

However, another problem was discovered. Some factories could not make a return in 1841 because they kept investing in costs and continued to expand. The upside, of course, is that, at this rate, the start of making money in 1842 will be much quicker than expected.

"Aunt Maria, let's see, you can see that our future is bright and the road is tortuous. You can apply for the redemption of funds again in June next year."

"What's the meaning?"

Maria was thinking about redeeming 40,000 pounds this time, so she could take it easy.

"At present, the scale of the industry is expanding. It was originally planned that this year's return will not be until next year, and next year's return will not be until the year after. When a cousin or cousin comes to the world and sees that the princess' mansion is full of apprentices, it's not good, then Redeem some more in June."

Carl knew that the dividends of opium stocks, Costin stocks, and East India stocks could be eaten until the end of 1842, because after the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842, the dust settled nominally.

Before that, it is necessary to buy some call options to buy the British stock index. The British stock has generally risen because they have won the largest market in the Far East.

Then you will find that although Costin is very big, very big, very big, it is very poor and completely unable to consume British industrial products, and then there will be a wave of decline. Put stock index options too.

It’s not just British stockholders who lose money in the London stock market. Rich people from all over Europe and the United States are playing stocks in Britain. Britain cuts the big head, and Carl cuts the tail.

In any case, the British stockholders will definitely lose the most, followed by the industrial owners in continental Europe and the United States.

Cutting the leeks in Britain should be regarded as a small revenge for Britain's plundering of the world. Although this revenge is too small, the high-level roots of Britain did not feel it. At most, the leeks felt the pain of one knife after another.

Karl shook his head and threw away all the gains and losses. He thought about the current situation carefully. There are 20 small factories in Novi Sad. How to manage them is a troublesome problem.

"Aunt Maria, look at our 20 or so factories, how do you see and follow? Your belly is getting bigger and bigger, and you are getting less and less energy, and you will have no time or energy to deal with this when you give birth to a baby in the future. stall."

Carl watched Maria pinching her waist and stroking her lower abdomen at every turn, and followed her example.

"Committee, dozens of German states can use the committee to coordinate. What are you? I really don't believe your factory can be more difficult to manage than the states."

Maria thinks this is a trivial matter that cannot be trivial. She has a plan in mind, but she just didn't say it. But that's the truth. Committee management is a way.

"Well, well, just two committees, one is the industry committee, and the other is the agricultural product processing industry committee."

"You are divided into two committees for these twenty or so factories? Are you too busy?"

Maria couldn't understand Carl's rude operation.

"Auntie, the advantage of the two committees is that there is a comparison in management, and they won't be fooled by them."

Carl saw Maria frowning, digesting what he meant, paused, and continued:

"Besides, Aunt Maria, how could there have been twenty or so? I plan to build a few more machinery factories, such as farm tool manufacturing factories, such as railway and locomotive parts factories. ."

Karl is not worried. Novi Sad will be the second largest city in Serbia in the future, and it will have no problem to accommodate these primary industrial industries.

Now, taking advantage of a blank picture of the city, I can go to as many factories as I can, and I can also go downstream along the Danube for sales. The downstream is definitely a more backward place, not only the downstream, but also the surrounding cities. Visad.

"Then why don't you build a small shipyard, don't you need a shipyard on the Danube?" Maria stopped him.

"Aunt Maria, if you don't mention it, I forgot. The seaport can build a shipyard, and this river port can also build a shipyard. We have a lot of wood, so the cost can be reduced."

I don't know if I didn't hear it, or if I pretended not to hear it, Carl actually told her what she said next.

Right here, boats from three to five hundred tons to two or three thousand tons can run. This is an inland river, the wind is calm, and the shipbuilding skills are just average. There is no need to face the fierce winds and waves of the North Atlantic. What are you afraid of?

"Build this, build that, do you have so much money?" Princess Maria asked angrily.

"I have a million pounds," Carl whispered after helping the princess to prevent her from falling.

"Do you have so many people? It's not just ordinary people, some need technical talents, and some need special technical talents. Where can you find people? This is not Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Munich, or even Budapest. Not as good."

Before Karl could answer, she exclaimed again: "What, you have a million pounds?"

"Auntie, what's there to be surprised about? I voted more than you, and I voted earlier than you. Your relatives and friends who invested this night have made a total of over a million dollars."

"Is it that much?"

Maria got up abruptly, and this time she didn't even caress her lower abdomen or pinch her waist.

"Yeah, Aunt Maria, you invested 30,000, and I received 370,000 and 250,000 in the first batch, a total of 620,000. Your 30,000 earned 50,000. Isn't that 620,000 more than 1 million? "

"Well, in this way, fifty thousand pounds is nothing, everyone earns so much."

When the princess heard this, she let out a sigh of relief.

"No, out of the dozen or so people, there are only four more than you. You're welcome now." Carl comforted her.

"Four more than me, who are they?"

Maria could probably guess it, but she was curious about the exact answer and hurriedly asked.

"Uncle Carl, Aunt Mary Louise, my parents, and the royal uncle, don't you have any more opinions now, they were already richer than you and invested more than you, and they still have more money than you now. money."

"That's okay, I'm not the least."

When she saw that the ranking was still at the top, she said a few words of humility.

"Aunt Maria, do you know that you are the one who works with me the most now, and you will be the richest in the future. Just the Lao Ha family, in the future, you will be the third richest after the emperor and me. People, even Uncle Carl's family can't compare to you."

"But that's all in the future. I'm poor now." Maria was happy after hearing this, and then she was tired again.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, within ten years, I will make you more than half of the four who are richer than you now."

Carl knew that the Uncle Huang would abdicate in 1848. Parents, since the eldest brother became the emperor, they could still maintain their current status. In the end, the eldest princess Mary Louise and the Uncle Huang and his wife would be surpassed.

Carl has confidence in European talents. Now it can be said that 95% of the talents are in Europe, and the talents that flow to the other side of the ocean every year, not to mention most of them, it is not bad to keep 20% or 30%.

Both Britain, France, Prussia and Germany can poach people. Instead of letting them cross the ocean and go to the United States, it is better to come directly to me. It is close and convenient to your hometown.

We can even go to New York and Boston to poach people. Of course, it is really difficult to invite them back to the emptiness of Europe when we reach the open space of America.

"But where did you get the machine?"

"What kind of machine? No matter what kind of machine, go to Britain to buy it. Isn't he the best?"

"Britain does not export machinery unless it is a factory they own abroad."

Oh, what the fuck, yes, it is said that the reason why the European continent is so unchallenged to steal from Britain is that Britain does not export machines, so it is easy to understand the behavior of that Portland cement master.

"What about France and the German states, do you have machines?"

"A few machines are available in continental Europe, but the vast majority don't, but even if they were, they would be cumbersome and expensive. In comparison, Britain is the best and cheapest."

Maria sighed, and she felt inferior when she spoke.

It seems that everyone knows about the crushing of the European continent by Britain. No wonder that in the thirty or forty years after the revolution of 1848, the countries of the European continent have made rapid progress.

In addition to the fact that the mature technology of the copycat British is relatively time-saving, there should be a sense of contention.

The poor continent of Europe, isolated and blocked by technology, is a dignified nation and an arrogant country. Why would you block dozens of us?

"These companies don't start construction right away. What I mean is to start construction slowly. In three to five years, start construction little by little."

Carl felt a lot of despair when he heard this. There was a sense of helplessness that he had money and nowhere to spend. Alas, this can only be found from the German state. Anyway, the German state is also the first wave and the second wave in the European continent. second only to Britain.

Karl felt the distress of Napoleon when he was armed but could not find the target:

Carl, UU reading www.uukanshu.com You have money, but I won't sell it to you.

Napoleon, you are powerful and handsome, but we just don't want to marry you.

But at that time it was the nobles from all over Europe who isolated him. Now it is Britain who isolated and blocked the whole of Europe. This is the real bull.

At the end of the 19th century, when Britain was gloriously isolated, it was because of its strength and charm that it dared to do things with courage.

Perhaps no matter in the past or in the future, there is really no country with the strength of Britain, with 300,000 square kilometers, 30 million people, and 200 million people who block 9 million square kilometers.

As for the 2 billion people outside 900 square kilometers, I'm sorry, but Britain doesn't treat you as civilized people. It's not isolating you, it's ignoring you, and it's ignoring you.

The more Karl thought about it, the more depressed he became. The little southern Hungary and the little northern Italy, do these two fulcrums support the ambition of Austria, and do they support the soaring of two eagles?

As far as the current situation is concerned, Britannia is standing there and doesn't move, let you push it, you can't push it down if you're exhausted, um, he can still laugh about the past and present lightly, watching the rolling Danube water, oh, rolling Taimudong passing water.

Karl suddenly felt that William II and his team were really admirable and dared to challenge Britain.

A farmer who has just been lifted out of poverty and has had a good harvest in the past two years dares to fight for wealth with a landlord who has accumulated wealth for a hundred years.

Moreover, the farmer's chemical fertilizers, pesticides and seeds are not self-sufficient, so they rushed up like this.

Oh, I didn't even dare to look at it, I could have imagined that he would have a **** face.

Carl decided to grow in a vulgar manner, Britain, I can't provoke you, I can hide from you, I'll greet you with a smile, or I'll bow down first.
