Chapter 202: "Exile"? "Run"!
After chatting with Ernst, Prince Constantine probably knew the number of his son's paths, the East African colony, shouldn't it be called the Hexingenberg country or the East African region now, the ontology has come, I can't colonize myself!
As for the millions of slaves on East African soil, they were all international "laborers" to support the construction of East Africa, and the owner of this land was already the Heixingen royal family.
The original Hexingen territory completely became Prussian territory, but the claim and many properties were still in the hands of the Hexingen royal family.
In the future, it is possible to return the name of the Heixingen Kingdom to the Kingdom of Prussia, after all, East Africa is not a vassal state of Prussia, and Heixingen is the soil, and it is necessary to distinguish Heixingen from East Africa.
……
"Your Highness, this is the information about the railway industry sent by Prince Karl!"
"Well, put it on the table!"
Ernst has returned from Trieste and the construction of the new food factory is going well, but the location is not very good.
The coastline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was too narrow, and the only port that could handle the task was Trieste, so that the industry was too rich, in other words, the land was too expensive, and most of the good areas were owned.
Of course, this is not to say that there are no owners in bad lots, don't take the landlords in the countryside as people, they are all Austrian nobles, so the Hexingen Food Factory was built on the outskirts of Trieste.
Ernst looked at the data and soon saw Prince Karl's note: Ron Railroad can focus on it, and it meets your requirements.
"The Rownes Railway Company, located in the Grand Duchy of Baden, is well-equipped and well-staffed, but after the death of the elder Ron a few years ago, the successor became his son Rownes Jr., who was a playboy and knew nothing about business, so that several orders were not grabbed, and now the company is in a precarious state.
Originally, the Röhns Railway Company was regarded as an advantageous enterprise in the Grand Duchy of Baden, and relying on the old Rownes's success, the business even reached the French side, of course, it belonged to the kind of outsourcing.
Otherwise, it would seem that there are no French railway companies, and the economic level of France under the rule of Nazan can be said to be one of the best periods in the history of France, and the French railways have also developed rapidly.
After Ron Jr. took control of the company, he spent all day drinking and wanting to have in-depth exchanges with the women of the Grand Duchy of Baden.
The Röhns Railway Company was neither a large corporation nor an economic fiefdom of its own, and the Grand Duchy of Baden was weak and geopolitically close to Prussia.
As a result, Ron Jr. did not take the initiative to open up the market in France, and his backyard was stolen by Prussian companies, and now the Rowners Railway Company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Ernst analyzed the data.
"This company is good, before the old Ron died, he was worried about his son's ability, and he deliberately improved the company's facilities, and the equipment is the latest, but it's a pity!"
"Is Your Highness dissatisfied with this company?"
"That's not it, I just don't think the company will be in good shape in the future even if Ron Jr. doesn't come around.
Now the railway industry is too volatile, especially in Germany, and the railway industry is not a few years away from the cold winter, even if Ron Jr. has good ability, it is difficult to say whether he can survive that hurdle when the time comes. ”
"Your Highness, how do you know that the future development of the railway will enter a cold winter? Now that railways are being valued more and more in various countries, the potential should be very good. Tom asked curiously.
"The railway itself has great potential, and I think it will be the same in another 100 years, but can everyone really feel at ease to engage in business? For the sake of money, the financial industry is speculating on railways, building railways everywhere, and even exceeding the needs of some areas, and these areas do not have enough people and logistics, and what will they get back in the end? In the end, it was the self-righteous unlucky ones who took over. "Ernst has a history to hang on, so he said.
"Then Your Highness, why do we still want to enter the railway industry?"
"The German region, no, the whole of Europe is very volatile, and I have not thought about expanding railway investment in a short period of time, but now we will solve the problem of whether there is or not.
East Africa will need railways in the future, and there will be a lot of them, and I am preparing for a rainy day. Ernst said to his butler.
"Okay, you go and contact this little Ron first, take this company down, and remember to keep the price down." Ernst said.
"Yes, Your Highness, I'll arrange it."
……
Karlsruhe.
The capital of the Grand Duchy of Baden is not much larger than Hexingen, which is a poor rural area, but since the development of Ernst, Heichengen has become more prosperous.
A number of schools such as the Hexingen Military Academy alone have increased the population of Hexingen a lot, and the construction of Hohenzollern Castle and the school district has led to local employment, and Hexingen, as the territory of the Heixingen royal family, should enjoy some other economic benefits, and it has developed well in recent years.
Although Karlsruhe is the second largest city in the southwest, after Stuttgart in the Kingdom of Württemberg, it has a size of more than 100,000 people.
The Röhnsbahn is located in Karlsruhe, the "big city" of South Germany.
"Mr. Nordin, I heard that our company has a new owner, is it true?" An employee asked the chief engineer of the Rownes Railroad.
"That's right, the company has been acquired by Hexingen Bank."
"Mr. Nordin, does that mean that the salary can be paid!" Several employees asked eagerly.
"Of course, I think you all know that Heixingen Bank is a big bank, and its reputation is naturally guaranteed, but it may not be easy to get this money." Nordin replied.
"Why?" Several employees asked eagerly, it was a matter of livelihood, naturally urgent, and the company had delayed their wages for two months.
"The new boss said that it was okay to get a salary if he wanted, but the company was going to relocate to East Africa." Nordin replied.
"East Africa, it's Africa, right? So far, doesn't it say that you want to leave Baden? ”
"That's right, the new boss said that the German market is saturated, and if you can't get orders, you naturally don't have wages, so you can only go to East Africa to have a job."
"Ahh But we all dragged our families with our families, how to get to East Africa? ”
"The new boss said that the family is encouraged to go to East Africa, and the company will bear the travel expenses and food, clothing, housing and transportation on the road, and the house will be allocated when you go to East Africa, so you don't have to worry too much."
"But Africa is said to be not a place for people! I've heard that it's full of beasts and cannibal tribes......"
"Don't follow the crowd, Africa is very big, there are always some good places, although not as good as Germany, but better than some ice and snow in Russia."
"What's the difference between this and exile? Aren't we the tsar's criminals digging potatoes in East Africa? ”
"Don't be anxious? What better way do you not go to East Africa? The previous boss left a mess, and now it's good to have someone take over.
And what do you eat without pay? The new boss said, go to East Africa to raise a salary, this is also a preferential treatment, a contract is signed, you can come back after ten years, how to choose or depends on your own choice, if you don't want to do it, you can resign, but because you didn't work in the first few months, you can only get one-third of the salary. ”
In this way, I feel that Ernst is like a black-hearted boss, and he is indeed the boss of Heixingen, but compared with his peers, Ernst's conscience is set off again.
If someone else takes over and wants a salary? Hum......
Ernst didn't want to embarrass these poor people, but he couldn't help it, no one in East Africa wanted to go! Especially these workers who are engaged in high-end industries.
Don't force them, as soon as the salary is paid, they will run away and resign the next day, and now Deutsche Bahn business is very good, and there are many choices.
Moreover, the conditions in East Africa are not bad now, and they are guaranteed to have food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the medical conditions may not be able to catch up, but when they go to East Africa, they don't have to do the heavy work themselves.
Take a family to East Africa, the second half of the life will basically not worry about livelihood, because they are the first batch, the earlier they go, the greater the future advantage, this is called seniority, so going to East Africa is not called exile, but "run", anyway, Ernst himself thinks so, so he thinks that he is still too kind, helping the workers to keep their jobs, helping Baden to solve a group of "potential" unemployed, and at the same time developing East Africa, winning hemp.
