Ferdinand was caught by Princess Clementina, severely lectured him, and forcibly dragged to several boring aristocratic banquets before he was spared.

It wasn't without gains, at least one from his mother. Franz Kafka, doesn't it feel familiar, and an Austrian Jewish novelist with the same name.

But it's not alone, Franz Kafka here, a Hungarian in his forties, has been taking care of Princess Clementina's property and is doing very well.

Ferdinand had spoken with him in depth, and after initially recognizing his abilities, he borrowed it from Princess Clementina.

I'm going to let him come and try it, and if the performance is good, 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 ugly.

In 1881, there were only more than 13,000 college students in Austria, which at first glance seemed like a lot, but a careful calculation will show that the number of college students who can successfully graduate every year is only two or three thousand, distributed in various majors, and after the specific management major, there are only a pitiful 180 people.

Excluding those who are themselves aristocrats and merchants, there are very few people who really need to find jobs.

At that time, college students could be described as the real pride of the sky, and various government departments and major consortia were all vying for VIPs, and basically they had already decided where to go before they graduated.

Ferdinand had to take the time to extinguish the idea of recruiting people at the school, and honestly cultivated himself.

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

On this day, Ferranz ran over and saluted Ferdinand, "Respectful: His Royal Highness Prince Ferdinand of Saxony-Coburg-Gotha, Duke of Saxony, Ferlands Kafka greets you." ”

"Well, you can choose to call me His Royal Highness or Duke, the full name is really too inconvenient, Ferrands, what is the matter with you coming to me today?" Ferdinand said casually

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can't complete the things you explained on time." Ferrands-Kafka said with some embarrassment

"What? But recruiting more than 1,000 people, how can you not complete it? Ferdinand asked, a little puzzled.

The evaluation of Ferrands in his heart has dropped a few points, and he gave him half a month to recruit people, but now less than half of the time has passed, so it is difficult, why don't you know how to solve it!

"Your Highness, according to your request, I am afraid that it will not be completed, and until now, only three hundred and eighty-two people have been enrolled. And since yesterday morning, there have been very few people who have signed up, and there are probably not so many people in the Vienna area, and highly educated people are still looking for jobs! Ferrands-Kafka explained

After a pause, Ferrands proposed to Li Mu again: "Your Highness, you see if you can lower the standards for the rest, so that you can also cut some salaries, save expenses, and it will not affect the operation of the supermarket!" ”

Ferdinand requires a minimum degree of education to recruit people, all of whom are high school graduates, because the salary is expensive, the first time to recruit a hundred people, it was quickly completed, which made him ignore that in this era, middle school graduates are actually 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 in later generations.

Listening to Ferranz's reasoning, Ferdinand's anger had subsided, which was caused by his own negligence.

Secretly remind yourself that you must keep in mind the lesson of this time, and don't bring the concept of later generations to this era.

Correcting mistakes is Ferdinand's merit, and since Ferrandz's suggestion is reasonable, there is naturally no reason to refuse.

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

The management talents of the supermarket are available, but the financial staff is still very troublesome, and there is no computer in this era, and the accounting is all manual.

The workload was huge, and every supermarket had to have reliable financial staff, and for a while, it was difficult for Ferdinand to find that many people.

In the previous five supermarkets, the finance was all trained in zero hours, and they were barely able to keep accounts, which had nothing to do with professionalism.

It's very distressing to think about it, and there is still a long way to go to drive Volvo all over the world!

But thinking about the profits of the supermarket, Ferdinand's spirit suddenly became again, the first Volvo supermarket, the first month of operation, the return to the capital, the other four opened for a short time, but the income is also good.

"Sure enough, the easiest business to make money is monopoly!" Ferdinand thought to himself

However, he also knows that this kind of good life is estimated to be half a year at most, and when others join in, profits will definitely drop.

After continuing to pay attention to it for more than two months, the supermarket operation has been regularized, and the daily management work has been handed over to Ferrands.

Of course, I didn't forget to promote two people from the earliest employees to Ferrandz as assistants, and the supermarket will definitely continue to expand, how can it not reserve talents in advance!

The supermarket was over, but Ferdinand was not idle. The profit of the supermarket is good, but compared to what he will do in the future, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Thinking about Bulgaria, Ferdinand felt that he still hadn't worked hard enough! After all, he is also a traverser, he has seen big scenes, how can he be satisfied with the income of more than 10,000 pounds a month!

Of course, if you have more than 10,000 pounds of income every month before the crossing, you will definitely be very satisfied.

Now everything is different, he is also a prince, a duke, and the future king of Bulgaria, how can he narrow his vision!

Ferdinand was very envious of those predecessors of the traversers, who made a few inventions and creations, and had tens of millions of assets, and when it was his turn, he could only do a small business.

Although the Kohali family also has assets of tens of millions of pounds, but they are all nominal, and a large territory and castle cannot be realized at all, unless they don't plan to mix in the aristocratic circle.

In fact, the Kohali family, with various investments and land income, has an annual income of only more than one million pounds, and after deducting expenses, it can still save about two or three hundred thousand pounds a year, which is also first-class in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Ferdinand couldn't do anything about inventing things, like adding an eraser to a pencil, he still knew, but had registered a patent as early as 1867, and he had nothing to do.

Stockings are even more nonsense, the chemical level at that time, even if it can be made, it is estimated that the price will not be much lower than gold, whether it can be worn or not is another matter!

This road did not work, and Ferdinand decided to continue to pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, such as grain processing factories.

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