Austria 1840

The exact amount that these investors will redeem is unknown, and probably still known, so Carl has used strict means to withdraw a little bit at a time on and off to withdraw part of the money from the London stock market.

Half of them are expected to be taken away by investors, and most of them belong to Carl himself. Together with these investors, he will invest the taken out pounds into the industry.

Well, when they come over, they can check out and start a new journey with Meimei, from virtual (financial) to real (factory).

Over the past year, Carl has communicated with several important people in the family and gained their approval. In addition, he invested in opium stocks to make money for them, and he also opened a few joint factories. The interests have been tied together.

Most importantly, Karl realized that, in order to make Austria not like history, the two-step rhythm would fall apart, and he had to always grasp the two fulcrums of northern Italy and southern Hungary.

Novi Sad has been settled on the southern side of Hungary, and with this second-hand aunt Maria in charge, and it is a backward area, it is just a drawing on a blank sheet of paper. As long as you have money, it is basically controllable.

But Derka people, Maria alone is not enough. Another point is that putting eggs in the same basket as Princess Maria is also prone to accidents.

It's not that you don't trust Maria, but that the world is too cruel. Maria could die if she gives birth to a child. Of course, now that the medical team is here, the possibility of such death is much smaller.

Northern Italy, the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, and we have to find a way to increase our strength. Now there are two paths.

One is to improve the recognition of Austria by local Italians, that is, schools, museums, hospitals, and the media have gone to work. Well, you can also add some industrial and commercial products. Austrian products are cheap and high-quality.

The other is to increase the number of Germans and Austrians, then assimilate Italians into Austrians, and attract people from Germany to work and live.

You can also add one to make the Italians annoy the Sardinian kingdom that jumps up and down.

In this way, the idea of ​​the unification of Italy promoted by the Kingdom of Sardinia will also be annoying and difficult for them. Even if they believe it, it will probably be discounted.

On the northern side of Italy, except for the wineries and several printing houses, all of them are just layouts and have not yet been decided. The specific operation of the future plans will have to wait for the military **** Old Karl, Princess Louise and Ludovica to come over to discuss.

Carl thought about it for a long time, but decided to go out for a walk. So I called on the big belly, Princess Maria, and brought a few people to the factory area to have a look.

Under Carl's suggestion, the Novi Sad industry is currently divided into two parts, one is polluted, brick factories, cement factories, etc. are in the east-south of the city; .

On the map, they are all on the right side of the Danube Bend, one is on the upper right side - food and beverage; the other is on the lower right side - construction industry. On the left of the Danube bend are commercial and residential areas.

The princess' mansion is definitely a blessed place. On the map, the mansion faces the Danube, with the normal school to the east, the medical school and hospital to the west, and the main city of Novi Sad, the so-called commercial and residential area.

Compared to Shanghai, the Princess Mansion is in Huangpu District, the industrial area is in Hongkou District, and across the Danube is Lujiazui. Well, the undeveloped Lujiazui is primitive and wild, plus some peripheral fortresses.

Of course, the size of the city is much smaller than Shanghai, so Carl and the princess, who were just strolling around, came over.

"His Royal Highness Princess and Grand Duke, welcome to the cement factory."

As soon as they reached the gate of the cement factory, Milakovich came over. This guy is a talent, and he quickly got the cement formula in Britain.

You must know that Aspudin and his son are not easy people. They are blocked by high walls and courtyards, deceived with various fakes, and deceived with vague patents. In fact, many people try to steal without stealing.

And this thing is actually not that simple. The main ingredient ratio, auxiliary ingredient ratio, firing temperature, firing time, and feeding rhythm are all important.

"Now it's mainly to whom do you supply to, and how much inventory is produced?"

Princess Maria came here purely for the sake of money. She came here to ask sales questions. It's about money.

"His Royal Highness, now mainly the Teachers College, the medical school and the hospital, as well as several other factories of the Princess and the Grand Duke. In addition, there are supplies from the army. There is no stock at the moment, and many people who come to pick up the goods can't mention it. "

"It's so popular? Since many people came to get the goods and couldn't get them, is there a way to expand the scale?"

Carl observed while walking. He was very satisfied when he saw that the factory was busy. He was not satisfied that there were still workers in Novi Sad who were not so busy. They had to expand the scale to keep them busy too.

"Yes, our new kiln has been built, and this time it is three times larger than before. Except for two schools and hospitals, the army will continue to need them, and several army officers are in Novi Sad. The houses are also planned to be built with cement.”

"Have they paid for the army's materials?" Maria asked.

"I haven't paid yet." Seeing the princess' face, Milakovich immediately said all:

"However, there is nothing to worry about, Her Royal Highness. The military has the same conditions as the school and the hospital. It is a monthly payment, and it will be paid in three days."

"That's good, except for these few, you have to pick up the goods in cash, including the materials used in several other factories. If there are new customers coming over, it is more special. If you are unsure about the payment terms, come and find me. Let's settle it together."

"Okay, Your Royal Highness." He took the princess and his party to the cement factory in a dog-legged manner.

"For ten years, you can accumulate some money. I allow you to go out and work alone. Of course, you have to do well in these ten years. If you do anything wrong..."

Karl stared at him and gave him a hard look. Milakovich took a few steps behind knowingly, and then heard the Archduke Karl say something.

"His Royal Highness, please rest assured, I will serve you and the princess wholeheartedly. Besides, I don't have any idea of ​​doing it alone at the moment, and no one will know what will happen in ten years."

Milakovich immediately expressed his attitude, but when a wise man speaks, he will not fool another wise man. He continued:

"His Royal Highness, I have 4% of the shares and wages here. It is a relatively stable business. With you and Her Royal Highness under the cover, our business will not be unfairly treated, so I really don't plan to go it alone. "

"Well, you really have to work here first. If you plan to go out and work alone in ten years, you can also tell me and I will invest in you. However, our two customers should not overlap, otherwise it will form a vicious competition."

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your attention. I will keep it in my heart. I also understand what you mean. If you go it alone, you will keep a distance."

"Well, you can't make enough money, and you can't make enough money."

Milakovich was listening to the teachings of His Royal Highness Prince Karl, when he suddenly heard the princess calling him.

"Your Highness the Princess, I'm sorry, the Grand Duke just asked for me."

"It's okay, Karl's questions have been answered?"

"Well, it is answered. Archduke Karl said that in ten years, if I am willing to go out and do it alone, he can invest in me."

"That's right, but you need to know two things. First, we can't sell it to the enemy who is fighting with us. We must pay attention now, otherwise it will be difficult for us to attack the bunker. The second is to do what we can, and don't be greedy."

"I remember, thank you, Your Royal Highness, and besides, we will never sell to hostile forces..."

Milakovic is serious when he speaks

"...Yu Gong, I'm from the princess and His Royal Highness. Yu Si, my brother and many old friends and bosses are in the army. To supply hostile forces is to increase their risk."

"Well, the supply is now in short supply. It's easy to do this, but when our production capacity expands, it will be difficult to say. Of course, I'm not afraid of you doing this. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the sales will be handed over to the people below, and they will not be careful. Sell ​​it to the enemy. You have to emphasize it."

Milakovic took it down immediately, ready to emphasize this to the sales assistant.

The princess's mind is very clear. She can't make her husband Schmidt's attack difficult. Otherwise, it will increase the risk for him and the troops, and secondly, it will affect the speed of his promotion.

Maria and her own people know that she married a new young nobleman and a powerful military faction. She chose this by herself, and she is very satisfied, and Schmidt is indeed good.

But outsiders don't think that way. The outside interpretation might be that Princess Maria couldn't find a partner at her age, so she could only marry a rough man who was not born or had a dead wife with a baby.

If Schmidt can go up two more ranks, to the rank of major general, she can stand up. If Schmidt can rely on military skills and make progress in the title, then she can look sideways.

Under the leadership of Milakovich, the princess and Karl saw four large kilns, one of which has been continuously shipped, and the other three, which are also completed kilns from the outside.

More importantly, there is still room for these four sides, and several new cellars can be opened in the future.

And it happens that the cement factory, and the brick factory next to them, there is a slender oasis in the Danube River opposite them, which separates the Danube River by a section of Jiajiang, which will facilitate them to supply upstream and downstream in the future, without affecting the shipping of the main river.

Looking at the Petrovaradin fortress group on the other side of the Danube, this place known as Gibraltar on the Danube~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Karl felt relieved.

In this place in Novi Sad, first, Turkey will not come to fight - their current strategy is to keep what they have, rather than grab new ones, or take back what was taken away 80 years ago; second, other Small-scale harassment is useless.

In the future of 1848, the Hungarian tyrants will probably come. This fortress group will teach him to be a good man. Well, if he doesn't learn to be a man, he can only be a ghost.

Karl thought about those Hungarian die-hards who, under the deceit of Kossuth and Petofi, attacked recklessly and then fell to the ground. He sighed and observed a moment of silence for them seven or eight years in advance.

"For these customers, priority is given to the two colleges and hospitals, then the factory, and then the army. After the three newly opened kilns start firing, the army will be the second, and the factory will be the third, unless they fail to pay their bills. already."

The princess reminded him again, and Schmidt just told him that it is currently in the offensive stage, and the demand for cement is not so strong. The next stage is refurbishment, which requires maintenance of the acquired sites, especially the fortresses and bunkers, and the demand for cement will rise.

"Milakovich, what the princess means is that if there are old customers who are acting unruly, you have to notify us in time, not just out of stock."

Karl was afraid that he had misunderstood what the princess meant, so he quickly explained it.

Of course Milakovich knows, which of these old customers is not the property of the princess and the archduke? If they start to break the rules, there is actually a problem, and they need to report to the two Highnesses.

Watching the two highnesses leave the cement factory and walk towards the brick factory, Milakovich immediately sorted out the meaning of the princess and the Archduke Karl, and made a written report to record it.

What a smart person.
