Bulgarian Empire

Ferdinand was caught by Princess Clementine, gave him a severe lesson, and was forcibly dragged to attend a few boring aristocratic banquets before letting him go.

It's not that there is no harvest, at least one talent has been harvested from his mother. Franz Kafka, doesn't it feel very familiar, the same name as an Austrian Jewish novelist.

But not alone. Franz Kafka here, a Hungarian in his forties, has been taking care of the property for Princess Clementina and has performed very well.

Ferdinand had an in-depth conversation with him and initially recognized his ability, so he borrowed it from Princess Clementina.

I'm going to let him come over and try it out. If he does well, then the person in charge of the department store will have it.

In the 19th century, the market economy was not so developed, family businesses were the mainstream, the flow of talents was not very large, and senior talents had to pick up the poor.

In 1881, there were only more than 13,000 university students in Austria, which is quite a lot at first glance. If you look carefully, you will find that there are only two or three thousand university students who can successfully graduate each year. They are distributed in various majors. After majoring, there are only poor people number 180.

Besides those who are nobles and businessmen themselves, there are very few people who really need to find a job.

The college students at that time were truly the darlings of the heavens. All government departments and major financial groups were all vying for dignitaries. Basically, they had already decided where to go before they graduated.

Ferdinand had to take the time to put out the idea of ​​going to the school to recruit people, and honestly cultivated it by himself.

Franz Kafka, the first thing he did for Ferdinand was to recruit troops, but things did not go well.

Ferdinand ran over that day and gave Ferdinand an aristocratic salute, "Respected: Your Royal Highness Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Duke of Saxony, Franz Kafka greets you ."

"Well, you can choose to call me His Royal Highness or Duke. The full name is really inconvenient. Ferranz, what are you doing here to find me today?" Ferdinand said casually.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I couldn't finish what you explained to me on time." Franz Kafka said with some embarrassment

"What? But recruiting more than a thousand people, why can't you complete it?" Ferdinand asked in confusion.

The evaluation of Ferranz in my heart has dropped by a few points. I gave him half a month to recruit people. Now that the time is less than half, it is difficult, why don't you know how to solve it!

"His Royal Highness, according to your request, I'm afraid it can't be completed. So far, only 382 people have been recruited. And since yesterday morning, there have been very few people who have signed up. I'm afraid there are not so many people in Vienna, highly educated people. Still looking for a job!" explains Franz-Kafka

After a pause, Ferranz proposed to Li Mu again: "Your Highness, look at the rest, can you lower the standard a little bit, so that you can also cut some salaries and save expenses, and it will not affect the operation of the supermarket!"

Ferdinand's recruitment requires a minimum education, all of whom are high school graduates. Because of the high salary, he recruited 100 people for the first time, and it was completed quickly. He ignored that in this era, high school graduates are actually considered Highly educated talents.

At this time, after graduating from middle school, you can easily find a good job, and the gold content is higher than that of the 985 and 211 graduates of later generations.

After listening to Ferranz's reasoning, Ferdinand's anger disappeared, which was caused by his own negligence.

I secretly reminded myself to remember the lesson of this time, and not to bring the concept of later generations to this era.

It is Ferdinand's advantage to correct his mistakes when he knows them. Since Ferranz's suggestion is reasonable, there is no reason to reject it.

"Mr. Ferranz, your suggestion is very good, I'll leave the rest to you, and do it according to your ideas!" Ferdinand's tone was much more polite this time.

There are management talents in supermarkets, but financial personnel are still very troublesome. In this era, there are no computers, and all accounting is done manually.

The workload is huge, and every supermarket must be equipped with reliable financial personnel. It is difficult for Ferdinand to find so many people in a short time.

The previous five supermarkets had zero-hour training in finance, barely able to keep accounts, and had nothing to do with their majors.

It is very distressing to think about it. It is still a long way to go to drive Volvo all over the world!

But thinking about the profit of the supermarket, Ferdinand suddenly became more energetic. The first Volvo supermarket made a return in the first month of operation. The other four opened for a short period of time, but the profits were not bad.

"Sure enough, the most profitable business is monopoly!" Ferdinand thought to himself

However, he also knew that such a good day would last for at most half a year. When other people joined in, the profits would definitely drop.

After continuing to pay attention for more than two months, the operation of the supermarket has been formalized, and the daily management work of Li Mu has been handed over to Ferranz.

Of course, I did not forget to promote two people from the earliest employees to serve as assistants to Ferranz. The supermarket will definitely continue to expand. How could we not reserve talents in advance!

The supermarket business came to an end, but Ferdinand did not rest. The profit of the supermarket is good, but compared with what he will do in the future, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Thinking of Bulgaria, Ferdinand felt that he was still not working hard enough! After all, he is also a traveler. He has seen the big scene. How can he be satisfied with the monthly income of more than 10,000 pounds!

Of course, if it was before the time-travel, if the monthly income was more than 10,000 pounds, I would definitely be very satisfied.

Now everything is different. After all, he is a prince, a duke, and the future king of Bulgaria. How can his vision be narrow?

Ferdinand is very envious of those seniors who are transmigrators. If they make some inventions and creations, they will have tens of millions of assets. When it is his turn, he can only do a little business.

Although the Kohari family also has assets of tens of millions of pounds, it is only in name. A large area of ​​territory and castles cannot be realized at all, unless they do not plan to mix in the aristocratic circle.

In fact, the annual income of the Kohari family, including various investments and land income, is only more than one million pounds. After deducting expenses, they can save about two or three million pounds per year, which is considered a first-class in the Austria-Hungary Empire.

Ferdinand's invention and creation can't be done. It's like adding an eraser to a pencil. He still knows it, but Heyman registered a patent as early as 1867, and he has nothing to do with it.

Stockings are even more nonsense. At the level of chemical industry at that time, even if they can be made, the price is estimated to be not much lower than that of gold. Whether they can be worn or not is another matter!

This road didn't work, and Ferdinand decided to continue to pay attention to food, clothing, housing, and transportation, such as grain processing plants.

Although the profit is not high, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat! Grain is produced on its own land. After processing, it can be directly sold in supermarkets, forming a small industrial chain and increasing the ability to resist risks.
