Chapter 130： Investment preparation (for subscription)

Christmas

As the most important festival in the European world, naturally it can't be sloppy. Didn't see that the soldiers and soldiers of the Papal State were anxious to return for the festival?

Franz held a Christmas dinner in the palace as usual, and invited a group of people to the banquet.

This is the first Christmas after Franz's ascension. Everyone attaches great importance to it. Those who are invited are here.

Relatives, friends, two important members of the military and political affairs, and their families, guests directly broke through the four figures. The seats were staggered, the words were cheerful, and the music was mellow.

Franz can see that everyone is showing his face a happy look, in fact, one by one is boring to die, talking about dry content.

Court banquets pay attention to etiquette, so they can't let go. Especially children, can't wait to end the banquet immediately and go out for a happy Christmas.

There is no way, even his emperor is annoying. Using glittering tableware, Franz once suspected that it was not gold-plated. Experiments proved that he thought too much. This was indeed gold, and the people below did not dare to fool him.

Well, these cutlery Franz are usually not used. Generally, he uses silver cutlery, which is said to be sterilizable.

In this era, although Western medicine came out of the original therapy of bloodletting, the technology is still good. Any disease can kill anyone, and Franz made a decisive choice.

After a big meal, everyone went to their own homes. Christmas is still at home by themselves. Franz didn't leave everyone to spend the holiday together, that meant finding sin.

He bet that if it were not for the court banquet as a manifestation of the status of these people, most people would rather not attend.

Although the banquet was extravagant, it cost tens of thousands of dongs at a time (1 shield ≈ 11.69 grams of silver). How can there be poor ghosts who can attend the banquet?

The guests were gone, and the Franz family had their own Christmas Eve, and a few brothers were instantly revealed. Today is a special day. You can feel free to hi.

Franz was envious, even though he was only 18 years old, but now he can no longer let himself go. Even more tragic is that her mother's Christmas wish was for him to marry a daughter-in-law soon.

When the emperor will be urged to marry? Franz feels like a dog, thinking about the age of the European royal princess, he is relieved.

There is no need to worry in a short time. The original princess Sissi has just turned 11 years old. Even her sister is only one or two years older. Other princesses of similar status, young and young, are already married.

However, Franz still did not dare to relax his vigilance, for fear of being careless, he would have a loli fiancee.

Things like early engagement are also popular among the nobility. As Emperor of Austria, Franz was the fifth oldest diamond prince among European nobles, and there were many nobles interested in him.

Fortunately, Franz is now emperor and has a say in personal issues. If he insists on disagreeing, no one can force him to agree.

Under normal circumstances, this question will be discussed with Empress Sophie. As for my father, who is suffering from bronchitis, he has no say at home.

At midnight the bell rang, and Franz was rescued.

The family stood up, lit a candle, read the Bible in unison, blessed each other, and sang Christmas songs.

...

Christmas in Vienna is particularly lively this year. As the earliest legal holiday, the factory has been closed early.

Capitalists are unwilling to pay three times their wages, allowing workers to work overtime today. If you meet a more generous boss, you may still get a Christmas gift.

The streets and alleys of the capital of Vienna are now full of children, singing Christmas songs, and reporting good news from home.

At this time, it is time for everyone to show their grace. Rich people usually prepare some Christmas gifts in advance, such as sweets and seeds, and distribute them to children who report good news.

This Christmas, Franz's wallet dried up a bit.

The Christmas gift is a big head. The servants and guards in the court who worked hard and complained overtime all gave a Christmas gift.

Relatives and friends, government officials, soldiers on duty, and even the orphans hosted by the government have all received a Christmas gift from Her Majesty the King.

It's all candy candies. Every gift is worthless, but it can't hold up a lot of people? In order to buy people's hearts, Franz also took great pains.

However, there is always a reward for paying. In this era, people's hearts are simple. Facing the sudden Christmas gifts, many people's loyalty to the emperor has skyrocketed.

Especially for the orphans adopted by the government, many of them are the first Christmas gifts in their lives, which has a great impact on them.

The price is that a Christmas Franz spent nearly 200,000 dongs. Had it not been for the Habsburgs' family, the royal annuity would not have been enough for Franz to splurge.

Austria's royal annuity was determined only a short time ago. It is drawn at 1.5% of Austria's fiscal revenue, which is about 5-6 million guilders per year.

The money was not spent by Franz alone. Everyone in the royal family had a share. The uncle Ferdinand I and his wife were about to receive 1.5 million shields.

The other members of the other royal family also have their share. In the end, he left the emperor freely with only about three million shields. There is still such a large group in the palace to support.

It is not necessary to save money, but it is obviously not enough to wantonly squander.

After Christmas, Franz is ready to buy more properties. Franz had a headache about what to sit on.

There are many businesses that make money quickly, and most of them are written in law. As a great emperor, obviously he cannot take the lead in breaking rules.

Franz once wanted to sell reference materials for the civil service exams, but quickly dismissed the idea. It was so unprofitable that he couldn't make a little money, and the influence was not good.

There is no need to consider agriculture. Although the Habsburgs do not lack land, the rate of return is too low. Even if it is growing cash crops, this rate of return cannot quickly become rich.

"Drugs" Franz wouldn't touch it. This is all about blackening his brilliant image.

Arms can be sold. Unfortunately, the arms trade is now dominated by political factors. Austria has been revolving in Europe in these years, and its overseas influence is limited.

The rest is the financial industry, but unfortunately Franz lacks this knowledge. In this era, the financial industry is full of shady. If people are pitted, he will have no time to cry.

Don't think that no one dares to pit the emperor. For capitalists, as long as the profits are enough, there is nothing they dare not do.

After picking, Franz feels that there is still a future for investing in food finishing. The companies that usually follow the policy have a "money" path.

Once the Holy Roman Economic Alliance is established, explosive development can be achieved immediately. With the connections of the Habsburgs, there is no need to worry about the sales network.

The variety of snacks in the later generations could not be produced. Popcorn, french fries, biscuits, canned food, and drinks, which were not technical content, were very simple to manufacture.

In addition, mining is also a very promising industry. It does not require much technical content. As long as the background is hard enough to find a rich mine, you can lay down and make money.

This was just tailor-made for Franz. At least he opened a mine in Austria. He only needed to find a mine to make money. Don't worry about it. No one dared to break the emperor's wealth.

...

After a while, Franz wrote a bunch of commercial projects in his notebook, how to implement them, and market research.

The common problem of all passers-by is to do one thing-to be at the forefront of the times. This is very dangerous and easily turns into a martyr.

Franz is very wary of this and rarely acts arbitrarily. In his opinion, if even the elites of this era cannot accept things, how can they be accepted by ordinary people?

"Jenny, give the information I have listed to Baron Cass, and let him do a market survey of these industries, collect as much information as possible, and I will select projects suitable for investment." Franz ordered

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Jenny answered.

This is the benefit of being an emperor. You can order others to do it, and some people are willing to give him his life.

For example, this Baron Cass is a member of the Habsburgs. His ancestors have served the Habsburgs for five generations.

After the Franz Regency, in order to strengthen the control of government departments, many people were plugged in. Baron Cass was only one of them and was inserted into the Ministry of Commerce.

At this time Franz asked him to do private work for himself, Baron Cass would be more attentive than office work.

If Franz does not allow him to do private affairs, but instead hand it over to his colleagues, it is estimated that he will still worry about it and be given up by the emperor.

The problem of private use of public instruments, I am sorry that in this era everyone really can't distinguish the difference between the state and the emperor. To many people, they are loyal to the emperor, not the country.

This situation was very common in the Austrian Empire, and the bond that linked many Austrian nationalities was not the government but the emperor.
