Chapter 609： Limit expansion

After Jérôme Bonaparte listened to the expansion blueprint of the Toulon industrial and commercial giant, he was not happy at all, instead he frowned.

Seeing this scene, the industrial and commercial magnates standing beside Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but panic.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" the giants shouted uncomfortably.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had regained his senses, loosened his knitted brows and reassured his face with a smile: "You don't need to be so nervous! I just thought of something, you guys continue to talk!"

The giants breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to introduce their industries and plans to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte listened carefully to the descriptions of the giants, nodding from time to time, as if agreeing with their plans.

After the banquet was over, Jerome Bonaparte ordered the butler to call Minister Dicko to the study, while he went to the study first.

"Minister Dicko, Your Majesty ordered you to go to the study!" The butler came to Minister Dicko and said respectfully to him.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Minister Dicko asked the housekeeper, "Did your majesty tell you what he asked me to do?"

"Your Majesty didn't say it! He just asked me to notify you!" the butler continued.

"Then lead the way!"

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Minister Dicko came to the door of the study, and he pushed open the door and entered the study.

At this time, there was only Jérôme Bonaparte in the study room. Sitting next to a desk made of fir wood, he quietly sat at the table with a kerosene lamp burning with blue flames.

It was not until the arrival of Minister Dicko that Jerome Bonaparte turned his attention from the flames to Minister Dicko.

"Your Majesty!" Minister Dicko shouted respectfully to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Dico, here you are!" Jerome Bonaparte stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, "Sit down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Minister Dicko walked faster than before and sat down in front of Jerome Bonaparte.

Seeing this, the butler hurriedly closed the door for them, leaving only Jerome Bonaparte and Dicko in the room.

"Dico, I remember that you also ran a business before you became a minister, right!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Dico in an easy-going tone.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Although Minister Dicko didn't understand why Jerome Bonaparte asked this, he still answered Jerome Bonaparte's question honestly.

"Now, how is your shipyard doing?" Jerome Bonaparte continued to ask.

"Thank you! The shipyard is doing well in general, and my wife plans to expand it by the end of the year!" Minister Dicko replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

Since Jérôme Bonaparte started to build the navy, all the French shipyards have won the spring, and many factories are working overtime.

After the start of the Crimean War, France's industry centered on naval transportation also took the east wind of the war to a higher level.

If the first beneficiary of the Crimean War was Jerome Bonaparte, then the second beneficiary was their entrepreneurs and bankers in the real industry.

"Do you want to expand?" Jerome Bonaparte looked at Dicko in amazement. He didn't understand whether Dicko was really stupid or fake. Didn't he know that after the war ended, all factories would probably have to lay off workers Well!

"Yes!" Minister Dicko smiled and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "The current scale is still unable to meet the needs of our manufacturing fleet, especially after the development of new warships, the subordinates found that many factories were unable to Satisfied to become the supply chain of new warships (this term was also given to him by Jerome Bonaparte), so his subordinates wanted to merge some of the companies that did not meet the regulations, so that they could form several larger groups! Even Paris Like North Industries Group, in this way, we can complement each other's advantages!"

good guy! Thinking of the Trust Group so quickly!

Jerome Bonaparte couldn't help but praise the "vision" of Minister Dicko.

In this land of small farmers and conservative soil, it is genius to see the vague outlines of the road ahead.

"Dico, as an entrepreneur and a statesman, you should understand that this war will end sooner or later!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Minister Dicot: "We cannot delay the war for ten, eight years... No, let alone ten or eight years! Even if the war is delayed until this time next year, I am afraid that the people of Paris will stand up against us!"

The short-lived chicken blood can make the French people forget about the inflation brought about by the release of water, but once the time is prolonged, the entire France will immediately be in turmoil.

The French Empire in history ended the war in a hurry when the people re-examined their gains and losses in this war.

Even if Napoleon III acted so quickly, the French Empire was inevitably faced with economic turmoil in the second year (1857) after the war was completely over.

Napoleon III then continued his adventure in 1859, acquiring Savoy and Nice.

Almost every foreign intervention after the Crimean War began when the French economy was about to collapse.

Jerome Bonaparte does not want to repeat the same mistakes, he wants to be the promoter of the war, not the promoter.

"Of course I understand!" Minister Dick said with a sincere expression: "But the subordinates believe that we have to do this! The production of new warships can no longer be produced in small workshops like before, they must be centralized!"

"I agree with your centralized plan in principle, but you always need funds to acquire them! You also need to arrange for their workers! What are you going to do with this money?" Jerome Bonaparte asked curiously Ask Minister Dicko.

"Your Majesty, my plan is to mortgage part of the equity of the newly established company to the Banque de France and borrow an acquisition fund from the Banque de France!" Minister Dicko responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"However, the Banque de France will hold shares in your company! You don't have to worry that the group you formed will be taken away by the Banque de France!" Jerome Bonaparte touched his chin and asked Minister Dicko.

The problem described by Jérôme Bonaparte is a common problem in the entire French enterprise. Factory owners are afraid of their own enterprises being taken away, so they rarely borrow money from banks.

Banks are also not as quick as loan sharks because the benefits of factories are not as fast as loan sharks, and factory owners are tough guys, and they are also unwilling to lend to factory owners.

"Your Majesty, the Banque de France is only responsible for investment, not management!" Minister Dicko responded to Jerome Bonaparte: "And the Banque de France is now under the jurisdiction of the government, and its subordinates mortgage the shares of the newly established company to Jérôme Bonaparte. The Banque de France, isn't it just mortgaged to the government!"

"You are about to turn your left hand over your right hand!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Minister Dicko without hesitation.

Since the new company is under the jurisdiction of the government, Dicko, as the Secretary of the Navy, has the ability to interfere with the operation of the new company.

As long as Dicko is still in this position, the new company he built will never have to worry about being taken over.

In the event that Dicko leaves his position... who loses his rights, who has the right to discuss the future!

"Your Majesty! I am using legal means to maintain the navy!" Minister Dicko smiled slyly.

"Okay! Even if you can overcome all difficulties and successfully build the group you want, how are you going to meet the missed storm!" Jerome Bonaparte asked Minister Dicko again: "I just heard By the time those guys are preparing to expand aggressively, I can already foresee that the scene after the war will be "corpses everywhere"!"

Keynesianism in the gold standard era is not a god. The prosperity brought about by large-scale water release is just a deformed prosperity. Once the war is over, the orders of factories around the world will usher in a large-scale decline, and workers will also face large-scale unemployment. The banknotes in their hands are likely to completely wipe out the domestic economic market.

After listening to Jerome Bonaparte's words, Dicko also frowned. He was blinded by the short-lived prosperity and realized the destruction behind the prosperity.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Minister Dicko subconsciously realized Jerome Bonaparte's solution.

"Your Naval Commission must consciously limit the expansion of the factory!" Jerome Bonaparte responded to Minister Dicko.

He is not against expansion, but he is against savage and disorderly expansion.

When you see the cusp of the storm, you will keep squeezing on the wave. Once the tide recedes, there will be a large number of people facing the situation of naked swimming!

"Also, your naval department must also learn to develop externally! Leasing out useless ships... No, selling them!" Jerome Bonaparte again provided Dicko with a solution: "Sardinian The Kingdom of Asia, 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. For some countries that want a navy but do not have qualified naval personnel, the naval department can also send people to guide... "

Minister Dicko, who was "inspired" by Jerome Bonaparte, immediately realized that this method was indeed the only way to solve problems in the future.

Although the French navy is slightly inferior to the British navy (in fact, the gap is very large), it naturally has the advantage of crushing the navies of other countries.

"Although our hardware conditions are not as good as Britain's, as long as our after-sales service is good, they will not choose us!" Jerome Bonaparte once again instilled some marketing ideas for the later generations for Minister Dicko.

British ships are really good, but that also means they are hard to book.

Not to mention, Britain itself is also a major naval power, and their own country also has to build warships.

Therefore, the French Helen only needs to be faster than the British in terms of after-sales and shipping speed.
