The Austro-Hungarian financial crisis came and went as fast as it came, and when the government put enough money into the market, the market soon began to pick up.

In the feast of capital, Ferdinand, who had eaten and drunk enough, now set off on a trip to London.

It's time to go out and avoid the limelight, Ferdinand has made a statement in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the past two years, and he has made a lot of money in the capital feast just now.

It's so striking that it's not Ferdinand's style. Just take the opportunity to go out for a walk and solve the gold mine matter by the way.

After Ferdinand was reborn, he immediately sent people out to buy land, and many famous minerals discovered in later generations were taken into his arms.

In many places, the conditions are harsh, and there is no mining value now, so they don't care. But those open-pit gold mines, you can't just leave them alone!

Who knows if someone will find out in advance and hack the gold mine, and the income of tens of millions of pounds is enough to make people crazy.

Ferdinand, who lacked strength, was ready to find a strong partner, and he had to ensure his own interests, so he made this trip to London.

Queen Victoria, full name Alexandra Victoria, (24 May 1819 --- 22 January 1901), daughter of Prince Edward (Duke of Kent and Strathon), inherited the throne at the age of 18 and was revered as a national symbol.

Queen Victoria's reign lasted for 63 years and 7 months, longer than any British monarch and longer than any female monarch in history, known as the Victorian era.

It was a period of considerable industrial, cultural, political, scientific and military development in Britain.

Queen Victoria was the last monarch of the Hanoverian dynasty, and her son, Edward VII, the heir to the throne, belonged to the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty.

The Victorian era was the most glorious period of Britain, it was the center of world trade, and the British said proudly:

The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields; Chicago and Odessa are our breadbaskets; Canada and the Baltic Sea are our forest farms; Australia and West Asia have our shepherds; The western grasslands of Argentina and North America have our herds.

Peru shipped its silver; Gold from South Africa and Australia went to London; Indians and Chinese grow tea for us; And our coffee, sugar cane and spice plantations are located throughout the Indies.

Spain and France are our vineyards; The Mediterranean is our orchard; America is our cotton field.

Ferdinand had just disembarked from Vienna in early December, arriving in London almost Christmas, and as soon as he disembarked from the ship, he met his friend and cousin, Albert Eduard von Saxony Coburg-Gotha, Edward VII.

The two of them can become friends, mainly because they have common hobbies, live indiscriminately, and both belong to the outliers among the nobility.

Edward welcomed Ferdinand's arrival and did not rule out that he could share some of the firepower with him. After all, two people are trained, and one person is trained. Otherwise, to welcome Ferdinand, there would be no need for a crown prince to come out in person.

"Ferdinand, my brother, why are you here now?" Edward yelled at Ferdinand

"Damn, you don't know how far this road is! The storms and waves at sea are so hateful! Ferdinand complained

……

Talking about the world, talking about everything, this is Ferdinand's strong direction. Naturally, the two had a good conversation, and according to etiquette, he was going to visit Queen Victoria first.

Buckingham Palace, well, despite its popularity in later generations, Ferdinand didn't think it was a big deal. Probably integrated into this world, it seems to him to be similar to an ordinary palace.

He was amazed by the calligraphy and paintings along the way, where antiques from all over the world gathered, and furniture that looked like works of art, which opened Ferdinand's eyes.

Edward seemed pleased with Ferdinand's performance, and said, "If you like, I can consider giving you some, but for now I will go and see my mother." ”

Pulled Ferdinand back to reality, and smiled awkwardly, his performance just now was really a bit embarrassing.

"Ferdinand, you're welcome here!" Victoria said kindly

But for Ferdinand, it's no less than a year. Victoria's aura is too strong, he has some sympathy for Edward now, and with such a strong mother, it will be difficult to think about life in the future.

……

Victoria, who was already very old and had limited energy, quickly spared Ferdinand and attended the welcome banquet as usual in the evening.

The next day, Ferdinand and Edward set themselves apart and began to tour London.

"Ferdinand, I heard that you have made a lot of money in the past two years?" Edward said enviously

"It's not too much, but a few million pounds, which is just a small amount for the royal family!" Ferdinand said indifferently

I still wonder about Edward's envy, isn't it easy to make money with the heir of your world overlord? Just do something, it's not all money.

"Of course, a few million pounds is nothing to the royal family! But for me it's astronomical! Edward complained

Thinking about it, it seems that the person in front of me is not having a good time now. He had a stiff relationship with Victoria, and although he was the crown prince, he was forbidden to participate in government affairs, and his expenses were restricted. He also loves cruises and horse racing, and often spends a lot of money, and it is normal for him to have financial difficulties.

"God, tease me! As the crown prince of the British Empire, you will have no money, don't tell me about the hundreds of millions of pounds in assets of the royal family, you will have no money? Ferdinand exaggerated

In fact, he is very happy in his heart, since you are short of money, it will be easy to do. The plan was changed immediately, and it seems that it is the same with Edward, as long as the officials in the colony are not in the water, no one should dare to trouble the crown prince's estate!

How do you look at it, Edward is also better than Victoria, and he pays a lot less price, how can he give up the gold mine sent to the door!

"Financial control, no more than 10,000 pounds a month! You know I'm spending a lot, how can I have enough money? Edward complained

"Won't you invest?" Ferdinand asked

"Why not? But with my little capital, I can't share much if I buy shares! Edward snarled

"yes, I've found a gold mine, and you're not interested?" Ferdinand said with a smile

"Supermarket? I've opened a few of them, but the profits aren't good? Edward said bluntly

Ferdinand scolded him for stealing my ideas, and complaining about the low profits in front of me, the master.

"Of course not, I'm talking about gold mines, and open-pit gold mines! Do you understand? Edward! Ferdinand snarled

"Oh my God, I didn't dream! You won't dig a gold mine yourself, why are you coming to me? Edward said in surprise

"Damn, don't you know that mining requires a lot of people? Do you want to know how high the wages of European workers are explained now? I want you to cooperate, of course I don't want to pay for it! Ferdinand explained with a growl

"What! You're not going to pay for it! You black-hearted capitalist! I won't let you get away with it, I'm going to break it off with you! Edward said angrily

Ferdinand sneered unmoved: "Okay, don't make a show for me, there are no outsiders here, no need to act!" It's the first time I've heard that the British crown prince cares about the lives of the natives! So ......"

"Wait, my brother just said it, don't you want slaves, how much do you want to wrap on me, but how do you divide the money?" Edward was a different person

Then the two began to bargain, bargaining for every penny, and finally the two reached an agreement, and the two jointly established United Mining Co., Ltd.

Ferdinand, as the owner of the gold mine, contributed 300,000 pounds, accounting for 60% of the shares; Edward did not pay a penny, and was responsible for solving the problems of the workers, and at the same time providing protection for the company, and solving all external problems, and held forty percent of the shares.

The first target offered by Ferdinand was the Kurgadi mine.

Kurgarti: The Kurgarti Gold Metallogenic Belt is one of the two largest gold-producing regions across Australia. The Kulgardi Gold Project is located approximately 40km west of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

The discovery of 554 ounces of gold in 1892 sparked the world's last wave of gold migration, making Kurgadi the third largest city in Australia with nearly 16,000 people.

The project has a resource of approximately 1.2 million tonnes grading 1.7g/t gold for 69,000oz of contained gold. During the first 28 months of mine life, 65,000 ounces of gold can be recovered from three shallow ore bodies.
