Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 56
Finally, Koenig and Bauer’s printing press got news. It’s not nonsense to say that the higher the quantity, the higher the price. The price is 15% lower than the normal selling price.
Now that you have made money in London, you should pay the advance payment and ship it as soon as possible. We have ordered a few more sets than the previous plan.
Ten sets are used in Italy, Venice, Milan, Bologna, Turin, Florence, Naples, Rome, Salerno, Parma, Modena.
Although the latter three cities were relatively small, they couldn’t bear the arrogance of the wealthy classmate Karl Ludwig, so he ran three newspapers.
In addition to Italy, there are Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Pressburg, Kosice, etc. in the Bohemia-Moravia region, as well as Budapest in Hungary, and Vojvodina in Novi Sad.
Among them, the places where there are no relatives, that is, little Carl and old Carl, and the relationship between them, are also 631 ratios.
Where there are relatives, it is a joint stock with relatives. Karl Ludwig accounts for 60%, relatives account for 30%, and the remaining 10% is held by the younger Carl.
In the growth process of the company, to see who is doing well, to give share incentives, of course, you have to pay for it, you can’t give it away for free, and there is no more than 2 points for any individual except for little Carl and his relatives.
Novi Sad is the most direct. In addition to a printing house and a company called Vojvodina Newspaper, the Princess Maria Anna Teachers College has also begun to be organized.
Oh, by the way, Princess Maria Anna is married and came to Novi Sad from Vienna along the Danube, that is, from a city person to a country person.
The Teachers College is located on the bank of the Danube, which is the current location of the University of Novi Sad.
The Teachers College currently offers seven majors, namely: Austrian language and literature, natural sciences, mathematics and logic, physics and mechanics, biology and agriculture and animal husbandry, geography and mining, and foreign linguistics.
Natural science is an overview of science, including some chemical content, and some astronomy content in physics. The foreign languages are mainly French, English, Russian and Spanish. These foreign languages are prepared for native speakers of Austrian.
The three people who prepared the overview of the school were Ludovica, Maria Anna, and Professor Anna, the eldest daughter of Brigadier General Miller.
One of the leaders was introduced by Ludovica, a teacher at the University of Bologna, an associate professor of science, his name was Bazel, a serious Austrian, and he would serve as the principal.
An assistant is Princess Maria Anna’s senior brother, Daniel, who teaches mathematics and logic at the University of Vienna. The newly promoted associate professor, a Bavarian, will serve as the dean.
One is still an assistant, recommended by Professor Anna, her colleague from Charles University, named Duden, a new associate professor, a Silesian, who will serve as the vice-principal.
Because he just earned a few million pounds from the London stock market—this was earned by Karl Ludwig from a 100,000-pound dip in the Vienna Palace.
Little Carl negotiated with Princess Maria Anna, originally promised to give her 3,000 pounds of Austrian language training start-up fund, plus 500 pounds per year, and then started over and stopped Maria’s own training plan. to school.
He directly gave the school a start-up fund of 20,000 pounds, plus an annual scholarship of 1,000 pounds and a stipend of 1,000 pounds. Of course, the recipients are all those who are loyal to the Habsburgs and Austria.
The three people in the preparatory office did the math. To open this school, it only needs 80,000 pounds of start-up capital, that is, Carl has solved 25%, and the princess is going to spend 12,000 pounds to make up 15%, and then lobby the government and local tyrants. .
Although the government is not managed by Schmidt and others, it is actually controlled by several military leaders such as Schmidt.
As for the local tyrants, several of their military leaders are local tyrants, and the former tyrants who have already bowed their heads—in fact, they are also military leaders. Thinking about it, they are also on the front lines.
The local government of Novi Sad raised 30,000 pounds of start-up funds for the Teachers College.
The total amount of funds from the four parties is 92,000 pounds, which has exceeded the original budget of the Princess Teachers College’s start-up funds.
How reliable is it, Bazel, Daniel and Duden, not only considering the start, but also the future situation.
The three of them came to the princess’ mansion together. After the simple etiquette nonsense, they jumped to the topic.
“His Royal Highness Princess Maria, have you figured out the funding that this Teachers College continues to invest every year?”
As the general manager, Bazel is most concerned about this. He consulted with the princess before, and Maria said to come back and think about it before answering.
“The annual funding is not less than 30,000 pounds. According to the current fundraising plan, it is estimated that it is difficult to exceed 40,000 pounds. You should plan according to this amount.”
Maria is going to let her eldest nephew Carl pay more. In addition to the 2,000 pounds of scholarships, he will have to pay him at least 8,000-10,000 pounds a year.
She herself can provide 5,000-6,000 pounds a year. It is no problem for the government to allocate more than 10,000 pounds. If you add a few military leaders, she can make up more than 5,000 pounds, and it will not be less than 30,000 pounds. difficulty.
“In this way, a relatively good scale can be maintained. The number of students enrolled each year can be maintained at about 1,000. As for teachers, to match these students, about 400 are needed, plus 70-80 teaching assistants.”
When the principal heard the budget, he had a good idea of the budget, so he talked to the princess about the possible scale.
“How big is it?”
Princess Maria Anna was stunned when she heard it. You must know that her alma mater, the famous University of Vienna, is not so large.
“We can also recruit students from other places, not only in Vojvodina, or in the Kingdom of Hungary, but in the entire Austrian Empire, and even students from other countries.”
Vice-principal Du Deng thought that the princess was afraid that the scale would be too large and that there would be insufficient local students, so he immediately answered. He certainly wants the bigger the better.
“Because we are a newly established school, we currently plan to launch relatively mature majors and courses, so the cost is relatively small. This is also in accordance with the request of Her Royal Highness, and we will consider opening new majors in five years.”
The principal couldn’t figure out what the princess meant, so he added an objective situation to reassure the princess.
“But our language of instruction is Austrian, can we offer an Austrian preparatory class?”
The princess is still very reliable. Knowing that this was what her nephew, little Carl, told me, she emphasized the language problem again.
“This is necessary. We know the mission of this school and will pay attention to the language. We are also compiling teaching materials according to the requirements of you and Archduke Karl Ludwig, and have already collected relevant information.”
Provost Daniel said, we understand, don’t be afraid, you are the financial master, we will listen to you. Besides, it doesn’t matter if the sponsor can’t have an unspoken purpose.
“When is the earliest time to recruit students? Which majors are recruited? How many people are recruited?”
Princess Maria was quite satisfied after seeing how hard the three of them were working.
“The language preparatory class will recruit students this summer, and we plan to recruit about 800 students first. This is mainly for students whose native language is not Austrian…”
Everyone understands that the establishment of this university will promote the learning of the Austrian language among the people. Over time, the scale of the language preparatory program will shrink rapidly, because the investment in the Austrian language among the people will increase.
“…and Austrian language and literature, which can also be recruited immediately, but the scale will be smaller.”
The principal knew what the princess was most concerned about, so of course he touched the princess’ heart first.
“For other majors, except for foreign linguistics, it is good to have 30 students in each class, but after the language preparatory class is completed, the annual enrollment will be much higher. I estimate it will be around 120-150, which is 4 -5 classes.”
“How about English, French, Russian, and Spanish majors in foreign languages?”
When the princess saw that he specially picked out foreign languages, she knew that he had something to say.
“As for foreign linguistics, students usually choose big cities. After all, these foreign language graduates will mostly be engaged in foreign affairs and foreign trade in the future, and big cities will have more opportunities.”
“You also think about how we can attract more students when we are a small city. I will talk to you about this issue in a few days.”
The princess knew that this foreign language was also a requirement of little Carl, so let them think of a way first, and she would also ask little Carl what it meant.
“In this way, three people, you can evaluate according to the actual capacity. If possible, in the first few years, it is also acceptable to enroll students every six months. We must make use of the school’s resources quickly.”
Everyone was very happy after hearing what the princess said. Of course, they expected to start school as soon as possible. Since the princess said so, they would definitely give support in the future.
Princess Maria didn’t know how much noise she caused after all this tossing.
After sending off the three giants of the Teachers College, the princess returned to the backyard and told little Carl about the situation. Little Carl had not returned since he sent his relatives. He regarded Novi Sad as a test field.
“Auntie, I don’t understand how much money can do. You’re in your thirties, and you don’t even understand. Hey, I still count on you. It seems that you have to figure it out yourself in the future. You can’t rely on it all. you.”
Hearing that his aunt said that the money can support a school of this size, little Carl was also taken aback.
But it doesn’t matter if you think about it, Novi Sad is also the second largest city after the capital in later generations, and a school of this size is fine.
If this cannon is fired a bit, in the future, all the princesses of the Habsburg family will be drawn out. Don’t let them spend their talents on the nobles’ gossip, and they must spend their value on supporting the righteous path of the old Habsburg family.
“Then let them hurry up and recruit the majors that can be recruited first, at least for the Austrian language preparatory course, it is also a good thing to recruit hundreds of people to learn it.”
After little Carl shouted, he fell back to the actual problem.
“By the way, aunt, how is the school building?”
“The school was originally a military camp. Those people were training before Schmidt came here. It was relatively simple~www.mtlnovel.com~ Now the new school building is under construction. If the recruits arrive, these military camps can also be used first.”
The princess looked at her eldest nephew and liked it very much.
She is the toughest princess of the Habsburg family. She has lived in her thirties and married a widowed, child-raising soldier. She is not considered a nobleman, and is a bit embarrassing in the noble world.
When this Princess Maria Anna Teachers College was established, the situation was completely different.
To run this school, one is that her husband Schmidt and others completely control the area. They want people, land and land, and money. Not much, but they can squeeze out a little bit.
The other is the nephew’s support, asking for money for money, giving ideas for ideas, and also giving spiritual and moral support, helping her a lot.
“Aunt Maria, do you still have money?”
Little Carl has a new business and wants to cooperate with Maria Anna, a new local snake.
Note: In London in the 1930s and 1950s, a seamstress was about 12-20 pounds a year, taking 15 pounds as the standard. In places like Novi Sad, it is estimated that it is only one-third of London’s, which is 5 pounds. .
Jane Eyre’s protagonist is a tutor for £20 a year, including room and board. This should be a high-end job. Generally, teachers should not be so high. It is estimated that they are similar to seamstresses, and they earn £15 a year. A third is also taken in Novi Sad.
University teachers are relatively high-end talents, and their income should be higher. In Novi Sad, it should be similar to that of a London tailor, which is about 15 pounds.
Just like the basic salary of a university teacher in a small city is similar to that of a female worker in the imperial capital. In fact, in the 1990s, the salary of a university teacher in a small city was not as high as that of a female worker in Shenzhen and Dongguan.
