African Entrepreneurship Records 2

Chapter 204 "Exile"? "Run"!
After chatting with Ernst, Prince Constantine probably knew the number of his son. The colony in East Africa should not be called the Count of Hechingen or East Africa now.

As for the millions of slaves on the East African land, they are all international "labor" supporting the construction of East Africa. The owner of this land is already the royal family of Hexingen.

The original Hexingen land has completely become the territory of Prussia, but the claim and many industries are still in the hands of the Hexingen royal family.

In the future, the name of the Principality of Hechingen can be returned to the Kingdom of Prussia. After all, East Africa is not a vassal state of Prussia, but Hexingen is the root of the country. It is necessary to distinguish Hexingen 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. 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 only Trieste was the only port that could serve as a major port. As a result, the industry was too rich. In other words, the land was too expensive, and most of the good locations were owned.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no owners in bad locations. Don’t take the landowners in the countryside as wrong people. They are all serious nobles in Austria, so the Hechingen food factory was built in the suburbs of Trieste.

Ernst flipped through the data, and soon saw Prince Karl's mark: Ronce Railway Company can focus on it, and it meets your requirements.

"Ronce Railway Company, located in the Grand Duchy of Baden, has complete equipment and staff, but after the death of old Ronce a few years ago, the successor became his son Ronce Jr. Ronce Jr. is a playboy. I don't know anything about management, so that several orders have not been grabbed, and the company is now in a precarious state.

Originally, Ronce Railway Company was regarded as a dominant enterprise in the Grand Duchy of Baden. Thanks to the old Ronce's manipulation, the business even reached France, which of course belonged to the outsourcing type.

Otherwise, it will appear that there are very few railway companies in France. Under the rule of Nasan, France's economic level can be said to be one of the best periods in French history, and French railways have also developed rapidly.

After Little Ronce took control of the company, he spent his days drinking and drinking, wanting to have in-depth exchanges with the women of the Grand Duchy of Baden.

The Rhones Railway Company is neither a big company nor has its own economic territory. The Grand Duchy of Baden is weak and close to Prussia due to geopolitical reasons.

As a result, little Ronce did not take the initiative to go to France to open up the market, and his backyard was stolen by a Prussian company. Now Ronce Railway Company is on the verge of bankruptcy. "Ernst analyzed the data.

"This company is good. Before the old Ronce died, he was worried about his son's ability, and specially improved the company's facilities. The equipment is the latest, but it's really a pity!"

"Is Your Highness not satisfied with this company?"

"That's not true, I just think that even if little Ronce doesn't mess around, the future situation of this company will not be very good.

Now the railway industry is too complicated, especially in the German region, and the railway industry is only a few years away from the cold winter. Even if the little Ronce is capable, it is hard to say whether he will be able to survive that time. "

"Your Highness, how do you know that the railway will develop into a cold winter in the future? Now that railways are getting more and more attention in all countries, the potential should be very good." Tom asked curiously.

"The railway itself has huge potential. I think it will be the same in another 100 years. But is it true that everyone can settle down to start a business? For money, the financial industry is hyping railways, and railways are being repaired everywhere, even surpassing some regions. demand, and there is not enough flow of people and logistics in these areas, what will be paid back in the end? In the end, those self-righteous unlucky people will take over." Ernst has a history, so he said so.

"Then Your Highness, why do we still want to enter the railway industry?"

"The German region, no, the whole of Europe is in trouble, and I didn't think about expanding railway investment in a short period of time. Now let's solve the problem of availability.

East Africa will need railways in the future, and there will be a lot of them. I am planning ahead. " Ernst said to his butler.

"Okay, you go to contact this little Ronce first, take this company down, and remember to lower the price." Ernst said.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will arrange it now."

……

Karlsruhe.

The capital of the Grand Duchy of Baden is not much larger than Hexingen. Although Hexingen is a remote village, since Ernst developed, Hexingen has also become more prosperous.

Just a group of schools such as the Hechingen Military Academy has increased the population of Hexingen a lot. The construction of the Hohenzollern Castle and the school district has also driven local employment. As the territory of the Hechingen royal family, Hexingen The company has enjoyed some other financial benefits and has grown well over the years.

Although Karlsruhe is the second largest city in the southwest, second only to Stuttgart in the Kingdom of Württemberg, it has a population of 10,000+.

The Rohnsbahnhof is located in Karlsruhe, a "big city" in South Germany.

"Mr. Notting, I heard that our company has a new owner. Is it true?" An employee asked the chief engineer of the Ronce Railway Company.

"That's right, the company has been acquired by Hechingen Bank."

"Mr. Nuoding, does that mean that wages can be paid!" Several employees asked eagerly.

"Of course, I think you all know Hechingen Bank. It is a big bank, and its reputation is naturally guaranteed, but it may not be easy to get the money." Nuoding replied.

"Why?" Several employees asked eagerly. It was a matter of livelihood, so they were naturally anxious. The company had delayed their salaries for two months.

"The new boss said that it's okay to get paid, but the company will move to East Africa." Nuoding replied.

"East Africa, is it Africa? So far away, don't you mean to leave Baden?"

"It's like this. The new boss said that the German market is saturated. If you can't get orders, you won't be paid, so you can only go to East Africa to get work."

"Ah! But we all have families, how can we go to East Africa?"

"The new boss has said that families are encouraged to go to East Africa. The company will bear the travel expenses and food, clothing, housing and transportation on the way. When they go to East Africa, they will also allocate a house, so you don't have to worry too much."

"But it is said that Africa is not a place for people! I heard that there are wild beasts and cannibal tribes..."

"Don't copy people's opinions. Africa is very big, and there are always some good places. Although they are not as good as Germany, they are better than some ice and snow places in Russia."

"What's the difference between this and exile? Aren't we criminals of the tsar, going to East Africa to dig potatoes?"

"Don't be impatient? What better way do you have if you don't go to East Africa? The previous boss left a mess, and it would be nice if someone took over now.

And what do you eat without wages?The new boss said that if you go to East Africa, your salary will be increased by [-]%. I work, so I can only get one-third of my wages. "

In this way, Ernst feels like a black-hearted boss, he is indeed the boss of Heixingen, but when compared with his peers, Ernst's conscience is brought out again.

If someone else takes over, want a salary?hum...

Ernst didn't want to embarrass these poor people, but there was no way, no one in East Africa wanted to go!Especially these workers engaged in high-end industries.

Don't force them, once the salary is paid, they will run away and resign the next day. Now the business of Deutsche Bahn is very good, and there are many choices.

Moreover, the current conditions in East Africa are not too bad. If you go there, you can have basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, but the medical conditions may not be as good as they are. But when you arrive in East Africa, you don’t need them to do the heavy work yourself. The millions of "workers" are not just for fun, but professional things. You need your own people to play.

Taking a family to East Africa, they will basically not worry about their livelihood for the rest of their lives, because they are the first batch, and the earlier they go, the greater their advantages in the future. This is called seniority, so going to East Africa is not called exile, but " Ernst thinks so anyway, Ernst thinks that he is still too kind, helping workers keep their jobs, helping Baden solve a batch of "potential" unemployed people, and at the same time developing East Africa, Win numb.
