In the expectant eyes of the two uncles and nephews of Gunnar and Gunner, Charles finally shook his head and said helplessly: "It's not that I'm not willing to help you, but I don't have enough strength now." ”

Gunnar immediately said: "The Nodal family can provide you with a low-interest loan. ”

It was the established policy of the Nodal family to provide Charles with interest-free loans, and Gunnar took the opportunity to bargain for it.

Charles spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's not just about money, I don't have the strength to promote this new industry now." Now I have to ask Queen Victoria to help, but now I don't know if the Elven Court still has the strength to help the Duchy of Milan. ”

Gunnar and Gunner glanced at each other, and now they were in trouble.

The kind of collaboration between Charles and Linda is just a family-level collaboration, where everyone sits down over tea and chats.

There is also a version of the folk story that Charles and Linda washed their hair in the bath and talked about the wool business.

If there is an Elven Royal Court to contribute, it will be a matter of rising to the level of countries.

Diplomacy is no trivial matter, even if Charles talks with the Duchy of Milan as the "white glove" of the elven royal court, it will require the two countries to reach a consensus on some issues at the top of the two countries.

Now Charles has made a statement, there are ways to make a lot of money, but I can't help you now, if you are in a hurry to make money, go to the elf queen to reach a consensus.

At the same time, he was kicking the ball, and he estimated that the elves did not have the strength to free up their hands to the side of the Duchy of Milan.

Charles is indeed powerless, the stall is big enough, his current manpower, material and financial resources have been exhausted, and if he starts a big project, he will have no capital turnover, and then it will become a negative teaching material.

At the end of last year, the Forge Temple, the Rurik Kingdom, the Elven King's Court, the Ryric Kingdom, and the Wisteria Academy all completed their respective technical inventories, and the five parties compiled all the technologies that could be taken out into a technical exchange catalog.

Charles was not involved in the technology deal at the national level, but he also got the technology catalog.

Then he spent his leisure time browsing and found that there were quite a few promising industries to be tossed around.

For example, "three turns and one ring".

Now that there are bicycles, there are radios, the principle of the watch is not a problem, Artoria has a watch in her hand, and it is the processing of parts that is currently holding her back.

While working with the Wright sisters on a machine that could make pistons move, Charles made a model of the principle of a sewing machine.

In his last life, he had a sewing machine at home, which was his mother's dowry, and he figured out the principle of the sewing machine when he was in elementary school.

With the core technology in hand, whoever produces the sewing machine has to pay the Macroros Group.

Charles's plan was to place the garment manufacturing industry on his grandfather's turf, where Linda's woolen fabrics and Auston I's "mirabs" were readily available.

However, the ideal is plump, and the reality is skinny.

Now the elves are also beginning to industrialize, but due to the war, the number of elves working is insufficient, so Queen Victoria plans to transfer some of the industry to the human side.

Then Auston I and Ji Shijun cried out, they wanted to take over these industries, but Auston I was on the verge of breaking out because of the conflict between the emancipation of slaves and the domestic aristocracy, and Ji Shijun and their Slime Basin had become a big fat meat, and the neighbors planned to join forces to divide the meat, so they had no energy to take this opportunity to upgrade the industry.

The advantage of this place in the Duchy of Milan is that it has convenient transportation and a very strong commercial and handicraft atmosphere, and the resistance to industry is not as great as that of other places.

But now it is a bit difficult to promote these industries in the Duchy of Milan and make it a "small hardware capital".

The key is the lack of talent, without which nothing can be done.

Now there are not many professionals in the Rurik Kingdom, their own big stalls have to be managed, and there are no people to spare after supporting the Elven Tree Sea and the Slime Basin, Charles's Jiuyang Chamber of Commerce can only get a group of human fresh graduates to work, research, and guide.

Water transportation is quite developed on the human side, and bulk cargo transportation in many places depends on water transportation.

Nicholas II and Queen Victoria originally wanted to build a shipbuilding base on the river, but it was shelved because there was no one.

Even the sewing machine that Charles and his toss tossed is now slow to be researched due to manpower reasons.

If you want to spread the "little hardware" stall in the Duchy of Milan, there will not be enough human technicians on the side of the Rurik Kingdom.

And apart from the Rurik Kingdom, Charles really doesn't know where to find talents, unless he can summon a group of people like his ancestors, but this idea has long been kicked away by him.

Another important problem is that Charles really doesn't have enough liquidity now, and the starting capital of the Jiuyang Chamber of Commerce is still that he has just returned from the Bischberg Kingdom.

Two years ago, when Linda was just starting out, she sold a lot of bonds to start up building the textile industry, and Charles asked Ah Fu to buy a lot of bonds back.

Now Linda's wool textile business is booming, and there are many people who want to make money with it.

It's just that now the new loom is only produced by the Forge Temple, and the agreement between the Forge Temple and Linda is to give priority to ensuring the supply of Linda's machines.

Just when those who had the money but couldn't afford to buy a machine were at a loss, Linda offered to use the loom to pay off the bonds she had previously purchased.

Now the nobles of Bischberg were lively.

In their eyes, the new loom is like an old hen that lays golden eggs.

Two years ago, they bought a large number of bonds out of the psychology of giving gifts to Linda, and at that time they thought that Linda would not pay it back.

And now these bonds can now be exchanged for these extremely sought-after "old hens", which makes many aristocratic lords holding bonds smile so much that their faces are cramping.

So the big aristocrats with a large number of bonds came back to build their own factories by changing machines, and the small aristocrats who held small amounts built factories together in groups of three or five.

Some people were not interested in building textile factories, and those who were interested would buy bonds from these people with money bags full of gold coins.

In the past six months, the bonds issued by Linda have been extremely sought-after in the market, and the price has been rising.

So Charles took this opportunity to sell his bonds to those who were interested in building a factory, and at the same time signed a wool supply and marketing contract, and took 5% of the factory's shares.

Although Charles's bonds are only sold to those who build the factory on the ground, and he also wants to own a stake in the new factory, who let Charles have the wool in his hands.

With a sufficient and preferential supply of raw materials, the other shareholders of the factory did not feel that the five points of shares were lost, and they wished to give more shares to Charles to give priority to the wool.

The shareholders of the mills are enthusiastically stuffing their shares, and Charles said that he will treat everyone equally, but will send permanent personnel to the mills to know the wool inventory situation in real time, so as to better coordinate the supply of raw materials, and make sure that the mills do not fall into the point of raw material shortages.

And Charles was able to use his face to invite skilled workers from Linda's textile factory to teach the new workers in the new factory how to use the machines, so that the factory could start working as soon as possible.

The shareholders of those factories were moved to tears, and the Earl of McCaden had this sense of service and deserved to make so much money.

However, the people sent by Charles believed in the god of forging and the god of harvest at the same time, and everyone didn't care about this kind of thing.

In general, now that Charles and his industrial expansion have reached the limit, the Joyoung Chamber of Commerce is the last piece of the puzzle in this round of expansion, because almost all the seeds have been spilled.

At present, the garment manufacturing industry is just a piece of pie that cannot be eaten, and its political significance is greater than its economic significance. If it weren't for Louis Raybach's guy jumping out and making a demon, Charles wouldn't have thrown this piece of bread out.

The next thing they have to do is settle down, let the seeds take root, blossom and bear fruit, and then harvest more fruits and seeds.
