Chapter 331: Forbes Rankings
It has been more than 30 years since I came to this world in the blink of an eye, from a crying toddler to the current king of Eastern Europe, from "alone" to a wife, two mistresses, three sons and a daughter, everything now Ernst is very satisfied.
Domination is just a goal of life, after all, if there is no dream, then there will be no point in living, the more difficult the journey, the more you can experience the excitement of life.
World War II is just around the corner, and the rise of the Third Reich has made Ernst smell the smoke of war, but Ernst may be the only one who can want these from Hitler to chancellor, and this is the biggest golden finger of the traverser.
The use of the mysterious space for Ernst is minimal, and the high-tech things obtained are still sent to the research and development base in Siberia as always, and the Quadruple Alliance can have a direct relationship with the mysterious space to this day, even if it is not obvious.
Since 1930, people's lifestyles have begun to change greatly, especially in terms of aesthetics, fashion has become the mainstream, clothing has been very innovative, and cars are all close to modern models, and even Prague has begun to have official races, which is more exciting than betting on horses.
Horse betting, dance halls, playgrounds, soccer games, basketball games...... Hundreds of entertainment events make the life of citizens no longer monotonous, but this has also led to a gradual increase in consumption, the annual consumption of entertainment projects can not be supported by a few hundred euros at all, and fortunately, the Quad Alliance has little impact in the global financial crisis, otherwise the streets of the Quad Alliance will be full of refugees and industrial people.
Royal Palace of Warsaw
These are several new mobile phones sent by the scientific research center, and the servants are very rare when they look at the things in front of them, but Ernst dismisses them. Of course, in the eyes of others, this is a new technological product that their Grand Duke's Majesty does not like.
I don't know who leaked this sentence. This has led to a large number of royal fans simply abandoning this mobile phone. When the person in charge of the scientific research center was full of complaints, Ernst couldn't help but cry and laugh, if he really didn't like it, why did he let the scientific research center carry out research and development? The damned rumormongers were damned, but it also gave Ernst an idea of how much influence he had over his citizens.
Jessica and Anne gradually began to move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, they are not Maria, they may dress casually, so they are the vane of the clothing of the women of the Quad Alliance, which is also the influence of the royal family. It's just that Ernst hasn't paid attention to it.
Jessica wore a red dress at today's banquet, so there is no need to have the slightest doubt, the next day this dress will be popular throughout Warsaw, and then the entire four-nation alliance will be stirred up because of this, and there is even a newspaper dedicated to tracking the clothing of royal women, and the sales of newspapers and periodicals are very good.
At a small propaganda meeting in 1932, Ernst inadvertently said that Forbes let people know about the American newspaper boss, which also indirectly gave the Forbes list a lot of credibility. When Forbes, who was far away in the United States, found out about this and flew directly to Warsaw in the evening, his business sense made him perceive that this was an opportunity.
Forbes was met by an assistant in charge of royal affairs. Do not doubt that Forbes at this time is only qualified to meet such officials. If there is really a director in charge of royal affairs, then the other party needs to be at least a large enterprise or large company with a capital of tens of millions of euros.
Forbes' aim was to work together, with Ernst, the Grand Duke of the Czech Republic, the King of Lithuania, and the Chairman of the Four-Power Alliance, to create a list that was truly meaningful and credible.
Forbes wouldn't have succeeded anyway if it hadn't been for what Ernst had accidentally mentioned, because who knows who you are? But now it is different, since Ernst has opened his mouth, then the assistant has to think about it, in short, the other party has the basic conditions for cooperation.
A week later, Forbes was very excited to return to the United States, along with a contract and a huge sum of 500,000 euros, which was the founding capital for the establishment of Forbes Ranking.
Forbes held a press conference in the third week of Forbes' return to the United States, attended by more than 200 media outlets, including those from East Asia and Europe.
The new Forbes newspaper is divided into three lists, Forbes Global Rich List, Forbes Global Power List, and Forbes Women List.
With the emergence of the three lists, the Habsburgs have become completely popular all over the world, because almost all three lists are occupied by the Habsburgs, and no one doubts that this is Forbes' selfishness, because you can't argue with it at all.
Forbes Global Rich List: NO.1 Ernst Franz (Grand Duke of the Czech Duchy, King of Poland-East Prussia-Lithuania, Emperor of Qin, Prince of the Russian Empire, King of the Kingdom of Kazakhstan, sole shareholder of the Czech Royal Investment Company, Chairman of the Four-Nation Alliance...... )
Ernst's first place is undisputed, not to mention the value of those countries, a single shareholder of the Czech Royal Investment Company alone is enough to make Ernst the richest man in the world, because the Czech Royal Investment Company owns 80 percent of the shares of the entire four-nation alliance with millions of euros in assets, and the minimum proportion of shares is not less than 10%.
What is this concept? The concept is that at least 8% of the country's GDP is created by the Czech Royal Investment Company, and when it is really calculated, Ernst's annual dividend income will never be less than 300 million euros.
With a dividend income of 300 million euros a year, who can be if Ernst is not the richest man in the world? No one here can argue with the fact that the details already indicate the shares of the companies owned by the Czech Royal Investment Company, and a single list alone occupies more than three pages of the magazine.
Because Ernst often gave some shares to his children, which also made Charlie, Heinrich and others on the list, counting Jessica and Anne, Mesimilian, Sophie Lord, Archduke Ferdinand, etc., the rich list has almost been occupied by the Habsburgs.
After talking about the rich list, it is easier to take a look at the power list, at least not the surname Franz of Yishui, of course, the first place is still Ernst. Franz, this is indisputable, who can say that there is still power in Biernst at this moment? The President of the United States, the Emperor of England, and the President of France did not dare.
Hitler? Don't talk about the current Hitler, just wait for Hitler to really rise, he doesn't dare to say this sentence, the Four-Power Alliance occupies almost the entire Eastern Europe, not to mention that these countries combined, that is, a single Czech principality is almost equal to the German combat power before World War I.
There are only three people in the top 10 of the power rankings, the Grand Duke of the Czech Republic, King Ernst of Lithuania, the Empress of the Russian Empire Maria, and the executive director of the Quadruple Alliance, Massena.
Mesimilian, Archduke Ferdinand, Prince of Flanders? Although they are also in the rankings, they are not in the top 10, after all, Ernst is too dazzling, and Massena can only make the list because the rise of the Czech principality is closely related to him, otherwise he would not be in the top 10.
Women's ...... This is another list occupied by the Habsburgs, and the first place is naturally Maria, there is no doubt about it, after all, whether she is the Empress of the Czech Republic or the Empress of the Russian Empire, it is enough for her to secure her first place.
Then the top ten are Jessica, Annie, Sophie, Rosa, they are on the list because of their personal ability and wealth, but the most important thing is the relationship with Ernst, if they are not Ernst's sister, mistress, daughter, then it is estimated that they will be difficult to rank in the top.
The Forbes list is almost a personal show of the Habsburgs, which makes many people unhappy, even if they really have nothing to dispute, so Forbes has to hold a meeting to discuss, and he also feels that it is really inappropriate for Habsburg to occupy the list like this, even if it is true and fair.
Three weeks after the Forbes list was launched, it was suddenly completely withdrawn, and the announcement was that some content needed to be revised to minimize the possibility of overlapping lists.
What does it mean when the lists coincide? Isn't it against the Habsburgs' hegemony? Although Forbes's behavior has been recognized by citizens, at the same time, some people have begun to say that the authenticity of the Forbes list is still reliable? It's a piece of.
A week after the revision, the new Forbes list was reintroduced, this time without as many frequent Franz surnames, and Ernst appeared very infrequently.
Ernst still occupies the first place in the two lists, and there is no major change in the power ranking, what really changes is the rich ranking, which clearly stipulates that the king's territory cannot be counted as wealth, which directly makes a large number of royals and the king withdraw from the list.
If it weren't for the Czech Royal Investment Company, it is estimated that Ernst would also leave the rich list, of course, that may be more in line with Ernst's wishes, because Ernst did not want such a high profile in the first place.
Charlie and the little guys were a little dissatisfied, because they were making their first international appearance, but it was really depressing to be removed from the list without today's time.
Forbes doesn't know that he has invisibly offended several crown princes of the Quad Alliance, but even if he does, he can only do that, because whether a company can last for a long time can not be done by just compromising with the powerful, this is a free society, freedom of people's hearts, relative freedom of speech, and your compromise may be the beginning of the decline of the enterprise.
In 1932, what was the most in people's mouths? It is the Forbes list and the first place on the list. Franz, that's the effect of more than 100,000 euros in promotional expenses. (To be continued.) )
