Chapter 609 Restrictions on Expansion Scale
Jérôme. After listening to the blueprint for the expansion of the Toulon industrial and commercial magnates, Bonaparte did not have a trace of joy, but frowned.
Stand in Jérôme. Seeing this, the industrial and commercial magnates beside Bonaparte could not help but panic in their hearts, and they did not understand which of their words had caused His Majesty the Emperor to be dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty! The giants cried out in dismay.
Jérôme came to his senses. Bonaparte loosened his tightly knit brow, smiled again on his face, and said with relief: "No need to be so nervous! I just thought about something, you go on! ”
The giants breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and then continued to ask Jérôme. Bonaparte introduced their industries and plans.
Jérôme. Bonaparte listened carefully to the descriptions of the giants, nodding his head from time to time, as if in agreement with their plans.
After the feast, Jérôme. Bonaparte ordered the butler to summon Chancellor Dico to the study, and he himself went to the study first.
"Minister Diko, Your Majesty has ordered you to go to the study!" The butler came to Chancellor Dico and said to him respectfully.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Minister Diko asked the butler, "Did Your Majesty tell you what he asked me to do?" ”
"Your Majesty didn't say it! He just asked me to inform you of the past! The butler continued.
"Then lead the way!"
Led by the butler, Chancellor Dick came to the door of the study, and he pushed open the door and entered the study.
At this time, the study was only Jérôme. Bonaparte sat alone at a desk made of fir wood, quietly setting up a kerosene lamp with a blue flame on the table.
It wasn't until the arrival of the Minister Diko that Jérôme. Bonaparte shifted his gaze from the flames to Chancellor Dico.
"Your Majesty!" Chancellor Diko addressed Jérôme with respect. Bonaparte shouted.
"Diko, you're here!" Jérôme. Bonaparte stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, "Sit down!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chancellor Diko arrived in Jérôme at a faster pace than before. Sit down in front of Bonaparte.
Seeing this, the butler hurriedly closed the door for them, and there was only Jérôme in the room. Bonaparte and Dico.
"Dick, I remember that before you became a minister, you also ran a business, right?" Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Dico in an easy-going tone.
"Yes! Your Majesty! "Although Chancellor Diko does not understand Jérôme. Why did Bonaparte ask about this, but he answered Gérôme honestly. Bonaparte's question.
"Now, how is your shipyard doing?" Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to ask.
"Thank you! The shipyard is generally doing well, and my wife plans to continue expanding the plant by the end of the year! "Minister Diko to Jérôme. Bonaparte replied.
Since Jérôme. After Bonaparte began to build the navy, all the shipyards in France won the spring, and many factories were working overtime to catch up.
After the start of the Crimean War, France's industry, with naval transportation as its core, also took advantage of the war to reach a higher level.
If the first beneficiary of the Crimean War was Jérôme . In Bonaparte's case, the second beneficiaries are entrepreneurs and bankers in the real sector.
"Still expanding?" Jérôme. Bonaparte looked at Dico in amazement, he didn't understand whether Diko was really stupid or fake, didn't he know that after the war stopped, all the factories would probably have to lay off workers!
"Yes!" Chancellor Diko smiled at Jérôme. Bonaparte replied: "The current scale is still not enough to meet the needs of our manufacturing fleet, especially after the development of new warships, and my subordinates have found that many factories cannot meet the needs of the supply chain of new warships (this term is also Jérôme. Bonaparte gave it to him), so his subordinates wanted to merge all the enterprises that did not meet the regulations, so that they could form several larger groups! Even if Paris NORINA is like it, then we can complement each other's advantages! ”
Boy! Thought of the Trust Group so quickly!
Jérôme. Bonaparte could not help but praise Chancellor Dicko's "vision".
In a country full of small farmers and conservatism, it is genius to be able to see the vague outline of the road ahead.
"Diko, as an entrepreneur and politician, you should understand that this war will end sooner or later!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Chancellor Dico: "We cannot delay the war for ten or eight years...... No, let alone ten or eight years! Even if the war drags on until this time next year, I'm afraid the people of Paris will rise up against us! ”
A short period of chicken blood can make the French people forget about the inflation caused by the release of water, but once the time is extended, the whole of France will immediately be in turmoil.
The historical French Empire ended the war in a hurry when the people re-examined their own gains and losses in the war.
Even with Napoleon III's swift movements, the French Empire faced economic turmoil in 1857, the year after the war was completely over.
Then Napoleon III continued his adventures in 1859, acquiring Savoy and Nice.
Almost every foreign intervention after the Crimean War began when the French economy was on the verge of collapse.
Jérôme. Bonaparte did not want to repeat the mistakes of the past, he wanted to be the agent of war, not the one to be pushed.
"Of course I do!" Minister Diko said with a sincere expression: "But the subordinates think that we have to do this!" The production of new warships can no longer be produced in small workshops like before, they must be concentrated! ”
"I agree in principle with your plan to concentrate, but you always need money to buy them! You always need to arrange their workers! What are you going to do with this money? "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Chancellor Dico curiously.
"Your Majesty, my plan is to mortgage a part of the equity of the newly established company to the Banque de France and borrow a sum of acquisition funds from the Banque de France!" Minister Diko to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.
"But the Banque de France will hold a stake in your company! You don't have to worry that the group you formed will be taken away by the Banque de France! "Jérôme. Bonaparte touched his chin and asked Chancellor Dico.
Jérôme. The problem described by Bonaparte was a common problem throughout French business, where factory owners, fearing that their business would be taken away, rarely borrowed money from banks.
Banks are also reluctant to lend to factory owners because they are not as profitable as loan sharks, and factory owners are difficult to deal with.
"Your Majesty, the Banque de France is only responsible for investment, not management!" Minister Diko to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded: "And the Banque de France is now under the jurisdiction of the government, and if the subordinates mortgage the shares of the newly established company to the Banque de France, is it not the same as the mortgage to the government?" ”
"You're going to turn your left hand into your right hand!" Jérôme. Bonaparte did not shy away from addressing Chancellor Darker.
Since the new company was under the jurisdiction of the government, Dick, as the Minister of the Admiralty, was naturally in a position to interfere with the operation of the new company.
As long as Dick remains in this position, he will never have to worry about being seized from power in the new company he has built.
In case Dico leaves the position...... What qualifications do those who have lost their rights have to discuss the future again!
"Your Majesty! I'm using legal means to maintain the navy! Chancellor Dick smiled slyly.
"Alright! Even if you can overcome all difficulties and successfully build the group you want, then how are you prepared to meet the unanswered storm! "Jérôme. Bonaparte asked Chancellor Dico again: "I just heard that those guys are preparing to expand in my 0, and I can already foresee that the scene after the end of the war will be "full of corpses"! ”
Keynesianism in the age of the gold standard was not a god, and the prosperity brought about by the large-scale release of water was nothing more than a deformed prosperity, and once the war was over, there would be a massive decline in factory orders everywhere, workers would also face mass unemployment, and their paper money would probably completely collapse the domestic economic market.
Listened to Jérôme. Bonaparte's words, Dico also frowned, blinded by the ephemeral prosperity, aware of the destruction behind the prosperity.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Minister Diko subconsciously Jerome. Bonaparte's solution.
"Your Navy Council must consciously limit the expansion of the factory!" Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Chancellor Dico.
He was not against expansion, but he was against barbaric and disorderly expansion.
When you see the cusp of the storm, you will squeeze up the waves, and once the tide recedes, then there will be a large number of people facing the situation of naked swimming!
"Also, your naval department must also properly learn how to develop externally! Rent out useless boats...... No, it's sold! "Jérôme. Bonaparte also provided Dico with a solution: "The Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Austrian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Governor of Egypt, and the Governor of Tunisia are all potential customers, and for some countries that want a navy but do not have qualified naval personnel, the naval department can also send people to guide ......"
Influenced by Jérôme. Chancellor Dicco, "enlightened" by Bonaparte, immediately realized that this method was indeed the only way to solve the problems of the future.
Although the French navy is slightly inferior to (in fact, it is very different) the British navy, it naturally has the advantage of crushing the navies of other countries.
"Although we are not as good as Britain in terms of hardware conditions, as long as our after-sales service is good, they will not choose us!" Jérôme. Once again, Bonaparte instilled certain marketing ideas in later generations for the Minister Dico.
Britain's warships are indeed good, but this also means that they are difficult to book.
Not to mention, Britain itself is a naval power, and they also have to build warships in their own country.
Therefore, the French Helen only needs to be faster than Britain in terms of after-sales and ship speed.
