Mediterranean Hegemony Road

In 1881, in Vienna's Stephen's Cathedral, admiring the reliefs and paintings hanging on the walls. Li Mu (now Ferdinand) once again had a confused feeling. He repeatedly compared the current Stephen's Cathedral and what is the difference between it and the Stephen's Cathedral a hundred years later.

Just three months ago, the original owner Ferdinand collapsed suddenly in Stephen's Cathedral, and Li Mujiu occupied the magpie's nest.

Ferdinand was born on February 26, 1861 in the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Kohali family, full name: Ferdinand Maximilian Karl Leopold Maria.

Father Prince August of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, mother Princess Clementine of Orleans.

His godfather and godmother were Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico and his wife, Princess Charlotte of Belgium.

Ferdinand was the nephew of Ernst I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and the first King of Belgium, Leopold I.

His mother, Princess Clementine, was the daughter of King Louis-Philippe of France.

His father, Prince Auguste of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, was the younger brother of King Fernando II of Portugal, and the son of Prince Albert, Queen of Mexico, Princess Charlotte of Belgium and King Leopold II of Belgium. First cousin, first cousin of Queen Victoria of England.

Among them, since the mother of Charlotte and Leopold II, Princess Louise, is the sister of Ferdinand's mother, the three of them are not only uncles and nephews, but also first cousins.

To be honest, Li Mu (Ferdinand) was very satisfied with this time-travel, and his background was noble enough. If nothing else, he is the future king of Bulgaria.

As a diaosi who opened a Taobao online store, he can barely be said to be a businessman, part-time military and history lover. Thinking about the historical actions of the original owner, Li Mu (Ferdinand) felt a lot of pressure.

The first two decades of Ferdinand's reign in Bulgaria were hugely successful, but everything disappeared when the Second Balkan War was lost and he was forced into a world war.

As a traveler, it seems that you should change your life against the sky, hang the whole world, and dominate Yunei.

Li Mu (Ferdinand) didn't think so much. Anyone who has a certain understanding of Bulgaria knows that a small Balkan country can fight more fiercely at most. If there is no industry for industry, no resources for resources, and no population for population, it is a typical three-nothing country.

If you pass through William II, how can you break out against the sky, maybe you can really hang the whole world.

The goal set by Li Mu (he will be called Ferdinand from now on) just now is to become at least a wealthy nobleman, but he feels too negative.

Now it's a little bit better to keep the throne, it seems that as long as you don't stand in the wrong team, it's not too difficult.

However, as long as you know the Balkans, it is clear that unless the two Balkan wars are won, the high nationalism in the country will still push Bulgaria into the abyss.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world!

Right now, Ferdinand is not the king of Bulgaria, but a small officer of the Austro-Hungarian local defense army. As a nobleman, he only needs to report a message every day. Oh, it doesn't matter if he doesn't go.

It can also be seen from this aspect that the Austro-Hungarian Empire has already decayed, but this also makes it convenient for Li Mu to act.

After more than three months of understanding, Ferdinand got a preliminary understanding of the situation. The Kohari family is still very wealthy and has a lot of prominent relatives.

But the greatest wealth is the territory, with Abra in Slovakia and a large area of ​​Sitno.

It looked good at the moment, but Ferdinand knew that after the First World War, these real estates would shrink considerably and be confiscated by the Soviet Republic.

It seems that something should be done, leaving an extra way out. Anyway, as long as you have a lot of money in your hands, you can live comfortably in whatever you want in the future.

What is to be done? The first thing that came to mind was "arms", which was then ruled out. Most of the arms trade is mixed with politics. Now there are only so many powerful buyers in the international market, and the large-scale arms trade has long been divided up.

Do you want to do a small business of 180 guns, it is too shameful for the nobles, and the money you earn is not as much as your own pocket money.

"Drugs" was immediately ruled out. He was the one who wanted to be the king. If he got involved with drug criminals and hit the "Drug King", thinking about that scene was too terrifying.

Walking to the streets of Vienna, Ferdinand ruled out one money-making plan after another, and suddenly had a flash of "department supermarket".

In fact, department stores were born in Paris, France as early as 1852, and quickly spread to the world. Vienna also has department stores, but unlike supermarkets in later generations, it is not so convenient.

In 1930, such a new store opened in New York, USA, where customers walked in and could pick up the goods on the shelves, and just checked out at the door. This was the first supermarket in the world.

History has proved the superiority of supermarkets, and its competition with department stores is not very fierce.

1. Different positioning: Department stores mainly deal in durable goods, and the commodity grades are mainly medium and high-end. The supermarket mainly deals in fast-moving consumer goods, daily necessities, and the commodity grades are mainly low-end.

2. Different profit models: department stores seek benefits from management, that is, they mainly obtain profits by leasing venues; while supermarkets seek benefits from procurement and gain profits by expanding sales.

3. Different sales methods: shopping guides in department stores are particularly important. Use professional shopping guides to guide consumption, and check out separately during settlement. Supermarkets are mainly based on customer choice, unless a "no-disturbance service" is generally adopted, and a centralized one-time payment method is adopted during settlement.

After a calm analysis, Ferdinand believed that the economic situation in Vienna at that time was enough to make the supermarket profitable.

As soon as he said it, Ferdinand immediately began to do market research. After all, it was different then and now. There are not as many types of goods as now, and there is no such thing as door-to-door delivery. It is up to you to decide what goods are suitable for the supermarket.

It doesn't matter what to say, at that time, he was also the most professional talent in this field. At least he had seen a supermarket. Others didn't even have an impression. Many things could only be done by himself.

Going out early and returning late every day, after more than a month of busy work, Ferdinand finally figured out the basic situation of Vienna, an international metropolis, and gained a thick notebook.

"This can be regarded as historical data! In the future, people will study the situation in Vienna in this era. This is the best evidence. It covers all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the most important thing is the annotation! It can be placed in the museum for future generations to admire! "Ferdinand lay on the bed and thought

There was a sound of "喯" and the door was kicked open.

"Ferdinand, what the hell are you doing lately? What are you doing every day running? You can't be seen at the noble banquet, and the city guards aren't going to report!" It was Ferdinand's mother, Clay. Princess Montena.

"No, Clementine, my dear mother, you know the etiquette of aristocrats! Breaking in without knocking on the door is immoral and will affect your reputation!"

"Damn, fuck noble etiquette, don't change the subject for me, you have to know that no one will know about this, don't you say it!" Princess Clementine
