Holy Roman Empire

No one can resist the temptation of gold. Since Baron Fickney found the first gold mine, God seems to have opened the door, and large and small gold mines have been discovered one after another.

The scope has long been not limited to Guinea, and gold mines have been discovered in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, and Mali.

Even the most conservative nobles in the German region couldn't help it, sending family children to organize overseas expansion groups to compete for this fat cake.

Lopez, the chairman of the German Regional Cultural Exchange Association, said: "His Majesty, a lot of German nobles have expressed their goodwill to us in the recent period of time, hoping to join this gold mine battle, do you want them to join in?"

The German Regional Cultural Exchange Conference was formed after the Paris Conference, and Franz ordered that the main purpose is to continue to resist the banner of reunification.

Youth groups, literary and art circles, and education circles in the German region are very marketable. Through the connection of this organization, the Vienna government holds cultural exchange meetings in the German region every year.

Not only the New Holy Roman Empire, the German Federal Empire, and the Kingdom of Prussia were involved, but in fact independent countries such as Switzerland, Belgium, and the Netherlands also participated.

The venue of the meeting is also rolling in various states of the German region. The funds are nominally from private donations. In fact, most of the funds are allocated by the Vienna government.

The nobles of the German region proposed by Lopez would not naturally be the nobles of the New Holy Roman Empire. These families were interested and joined in long ago, more in other regions.

"As long as you agree with the German culture, you can join it, whether it is aristocracy, non-governmental organizations or individuals, you can publicize this.

The land we have expanded on the African continent is not just for the new Holy Roman Empire, but for the entire Germanic nation.

We welcome every compatriot to join in and contribute to the construction of our second home.

The Vienna government is enacting a bill to encourage immigration, and all German immigrants will enjoy the best conditions. "

Franz is still worried that immigration is not enough. How could he refuse to join them?

Nobles ran for gold this time, but it wasn't just a single-handed battle. Without organizing an armed team, if you ran to the African continent and found a gold mine, you could not keep it.

The serfdom in the German region was abolished not long ago. The influence of the aristocracy has not yet dissipated. Having them to organize armed immigration is much more efficient than government propaganda.

As long as people flicker past, Franz is not afraid that they will leave. The big issue of land is not attractive to capitalists, but to ordinary immigrants who clang for the poor.

A farm is afraid of not retaining people? Anyway, there are not many other things on the African continent. Logging and selling wood before opening a farm plantation.

Fudge lived one, then fudge lived. People who ca n’t eat enough local food suddenly have a farm of their own. Are they afraid they will not emigrate?

Although conditions in the United States are better, they are also full of uncertainty. Many people will not be able to achieve it in their lifetime if they want to obtain a farm of their own.

The African continent is much better. Some of the Franz Emperors had land grants. The prerequisite is to defeat the local disease, and the personal risk factor is high.

In order to increase the number of immigrants, Franz had to mobilize everyone's patriotic enthusiasm and create a second home, which is the slogan of the government's immigration propaganda.

Guinea

The Royal Bank has settled in the African continent for more than a year. Since the colonial stronghold stabilized, the Royal Bank has opened a branch here. It was the first bank to enter the Austrian colony.

Now there is another business, making loans to mine owners with insufficient funds. The development of gold mines also requires a large amount of investment. Most gold rushers cannot afford this money, and loan demand has arisen.

Franz didn't follow suit when everyone ran to find a gold mine. He is very clear that people looking for gold mines may not make money, but they can make money by doing logistics services.

The outbreak households who have just discovered the gold mine are the highest quality customers of the bank and have gold mine property rights as collateral, there is no need to worry about their repayment ability.

...

Tedis, a bank account manager, said with a smile: "Her Baron, this is already the best loan condition.

If you do n’t believe it, you can go out and ask about it. In New Brook, are there any financing channels with lower interest rates than Royal Bank? "

Baron Fickney shrugged and said, "Mr. Teddys, the entire New Brook is the only bank like Royal Bank. Where can you ask me?

If there are financing channels outside, it must be the usury of the underworld. You can never learn from them, this will damage the glorious image of Her Majesty Franz! "

Baron Fickney also knew that there was not much room for bargaining. The entire Austrian African colony currently had only one bank, and he could not run back home to raise funds.

For the development of gold mines, time is life. One day earlier, you can dig out gold one day earlier and realize profitability one day earlier.

He did not forget that he still had a debt in his native land, and the collateral was a family seal. Although the yield of the land was not high, he did not want to be a prodigal in the eyes of people and lost his ancestral home.

Tedis said without change: "Her Baron, you are so humorous. Do you need to question the credibility of Royal Bank?

You should be aware that the cost of operating a bank on the African continent is much higher than that of the mainland. Now that New Brook is alive and well, we basically have little business.

The current interest rate is a little higher than the local one, mainly due to amortization of operating costs. When the future of New Brook's economy enters the formal, and our customer base grows, this interest will naturally come down. "

Baron Fickney reluctantly said, "Mr. Teddys, but your loan interest rate is not a little bit higher, the monthly interest rate is 1.5%, which is three times higher than the domestic loan interest rate.

Even the highest-risk commercial loan interest is just that. But I took out part of the gold mine's property rights as collateral, you don't have to worry about the default at all. "

Tedis shook his head and said, "Baron Fickney, this is not the case. Here is the African continent. Risks always exist.

The threat of indigenous tribes to gold mines, the threat of diseases in various countries, although your gold mine reserves are good, but the development environment is not good, and accidents may occur at any time.

Once the worst happened, we lost everything.

Royal Bank is a humane bank. If force majeure occurs that prevents you from fulfilling your contract, we will just take the collateral and will not hold you accountable.

In fact, we have shared the risk for you. At that time, the property rights of gold mines have long been worthless.

Moreover, during the mining process, you have encountered some troubles. Royal Bank will also block the pressure from the outside for you. If you give up this service, the interest is not negotiable. "

The last one is the most fascinating of Baron Fickney. The entrance of Royal Bank can block the stare of the hungry wolf.

As for whether he would be swallowed by the Royal Bank, he was not worried at all. A gold mine isn't worth it, the Royal Bank has built its reputation.

After hesitating for a moment, Baron Fickney said: "I can pay in gold, can I always get a certain discount?"

Tedis answered with a smile: "Of course, we can settle at 98% of the gold price on the international market, which is already the biggest discount.

I can guarantee that the price of gold in New Brook in the future will not exceed 5% off the international gold market. This is a common situation in all gold producing areas. "

After contemplating for a while, Baron Fickney, who thought the price was good, didn't continue to hesitate, picked up the pen and signed the name on the contract.

After the transaction was completed, Tedis continued to market: "Baron Fickney, I think you also need mining equipment, which is readily available in New Brook.

We have cooperation with the Austrian Machinery Group. If you haven't bought it yet, you can check it out. The quality is definitely not worse than any similar products. "

Baron Fickney responded politely: "Thank you, the name of the Austrian Machinery Group. I have heard about it in China. As long as the price is appropriate, I will be happy to cooperate with them."

The relationship between Royal Bank and Austrian Machinery Group, Baron Fickney was not interested in caring. How big men make money is not something he can think about.

However, now he does need machinery and it will not be possible to arrive from China without ordering for a few months.

As long as the price is not too abnormal, he will accept it. The profit of the gold mine is enough to wipe out all these investments, and all he lacks is time.

...

After a large number of gold mines were discovered, the gold rush erupted. After entering 1856, the local situation was no longer under the control of the Vienna government, and the British, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, and Americans all joined the gold rush.

Almost every day there are gold diggers coming from all over the world. In just one year, the Gulf of Guinea has increased its population by nearly 200,000.

This number is just the beginning. There are more people coming from all over the world. The contradictions among immigrants have even increased the disputes between governments.

Especially in Ghana, the powers are intricate and complex, and the largest number of gold mines have been discovered, which has become the focus of conflicts between powers in various countries.

The earliest start of action in Austria undoubtedly occupied an advantage, at least an absolute advantage in the number of immigrants.

Propaganda came into play at this time. The German Federal Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia had too little say in this round of competition. Most of the German immigrants converged under the new Holy Roman Empire.

Coupled with the previous local immigrants, the total population of the New Holy Roman Empire in Guinea's Golden Gulf colony exceeded 200,000, which exceeded the total number of gold hunters in various countries.

There is nothing wrong with saying that people have more power, at least when they are looking for gold mines, they have an advantage, and they have seized a large number of gold mines.

In response to the colonial dispute, Franz appointed the Governor of the Gulf of Guinea, including all gold rushers from the German region into the reserve, and also added an infantry division in the country.

It can be said that Franz can mobilize 100,000 troops with an order, enough to sweep all the colonies of all countries in this region.

Austria has a land advantage, Britain and France have a sea advantage. Although Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands are inferior in strength, they have a small share of interests.

How to deal with relations between countries has become a top priority for all parties involved. It is impossible to swallow it alone, and no one has the ability to deal with so many enemies.

Moreover, the benefits of gold mines seem very attractive. Because of the mining technology, this area can extract up to 180 tons of gold each year. The profits remaining after the cost is removed are obviously not enough to pay for the war.
