Austria 1840 - v2 Chapter 58

“By the way, little Carl, after all this time, you haven’t said how to make money that you can see and touch?”

Princess Maria finally turned around, raised her hand and gave Karl a chestnut.

“Auntie, it’s you who is chasing the topic of making money in that corner of London. Can you blame me? If you can’t come to your territory, you can make trouble without reason?”

After talking back, Carl had to truthfully introduce the tangible ways to make money.

“Aunt Maria, the battle line has been pushed to Belgrade. Those guys are like fighting chickens.”

Can you not beat chicken blood? Pushing the past is a military exploit, not only can it be promoted to military rank, but even a title can be obtained.

“Now that Novi Sad has stabilized, it will usher in a construction period. This Princess Teachers College can reach a total of 5,000 students and teachers, and it is impossible to escape three or five times the number of people.”

“You mean that the university and the people it drives will be able to add 20,000 to 30,000 people in Novi Sad, and then they will need food, clothing, housing, and jobs. Are you going to build a factory?”

“Aunt Maria, you are worthy of being a top student at the University of Vienna. It’s a waste to stay in the plastic greenhouse of Lao Ha’s house for so many years. You have to live for at least 15-20 years to not waste your skills. “

Yuan Shikong’s aunt is not married, and it seems that she will ascend to the Immortal Realm in less than sixty years. This time, she will have to live to the average age of her brothers, which is 80.

“Stop talking nonsense, what factory do you want to build?”

Seeing that Auntie was in a hurry, Carl stood at attention and took a rest, and reported loudly:

“A brick factory, a cement factory, a lumber factory, a glass factory will do.”

“This one is really tangible and visible, the money back is fast, and it is more stable. The stock thing is still too high-end, especially when I come to the country, I feel far away from it.”

Princess Maria laughed at herself. In fact, in Novi Sad, she is much more comfortable, and she is more refreshing than the deep palace compound in Vienna. In Schönbrunn Palace, she is a piece of bacon, and here she is a piece of fresh meat. Thinking of the money being stuck in London by her nephew, she continued:

“It won’t work if you don’t get some quick-money business. The stock market makes big money, but the time is dead.”

Carl nodded in agreement. To start a business, you have to do it together, grasping with both hands, and ignoring it with both hands.

“Not only that, but the cost of materials is almost zero. Brick and tile factories only have tool investment and personnel costs, cement factories are similar, and lumber factories have raw materials on the mountain. These can immediately make money and solve some employment problems.”

The two foxes chatted here for a long time, and then they began to find people to work. Of course, it was the famous 631 model. The princess’s monetary cost was not 30%. She took out her husband’s fief to offset part of it.

These brick and tile factories, cement factories, lumber factories, etc., although the profit margin is not high, but the demand is large. The most important thing is that this can activate the Novi Sad market and create a hot atmosphere.

As for the brick and tile factory, it is enough to find someone to do it locally. The mold is easy to make, but the speed has little advantage. Princess Maria has already arranged for someone to go to Austria to see if there is a faster machine.

The glass factory is also in routine operation. There is a university, and there will be consumption. It will definitely form a market. Then the shop needs glass. Besides, people with better economic conditions also expect glass to make the windows clear.

Lumber mills have been a traditional industry for hundreds and thousands of years. In addition to large building components, now woodworking machines can also make standardized parts to assemble various furniture, including desks, chairs, bookcases, etc.

The point is this cement plant.

The patent holder of “Portland Cement”, the British mason Joseph Aspen, is a “cement hooligan”. The manufacture of cement written on his patent is completely fooling people. I really don’t know how to apply for a patent.

Cement manufacturing is divided into several steps, one is main ingredient milling, the other is batching, the third is molding, the fourth is calcination, and the fifth is re-pulverizing. Except for the third and fifth steps, all need to be quantitative, however, there is no such thing in this patent.

When others use this method, 80% to 90% of the time they fail. Sometimes they get it right, and they make high-quality cement, and they have to pay him a patent fee. They are completely greedy.

The Aspudin father and son’s secrecy about cement is simply terrible.

The first one was to build a high-wall compound. Without the permission of their father and son, no one was allowed to enter, and the workers of the cement factory were not allowed to walk outside the section.

The second is to create all kinds of illusions, often use plates to put all kinds of messy things, and sprinkle them on dry materials when installing the kiln.

The content of the third patent is ambiguous, and I just said that the quantitative content is not clear.

However, in the market, “Portland Cement” is much more competitive than “British Cement”. Whether it is a civil building or a factory building, everyone will choose “Portland Cement” if the economy allows, although it is more competitive than “British Cement”. “It’s more expensive.

To give you a chestnut, in 1838, the Thames River Tunnel was rebuilt. For such a high-end and atmospheric project, the owner chose the more expensive “Portland cement”. Why, because the “British cement” was used before the reconstruction, which was too bad. Had to rebuild.

Of course, some people say that the quality of his cement is not stable, and he may not have mastered the exact material ratio, the exact calcination temperature and calcination time, etc. The reason is that sometimes selling it to ordinary people will cause the building to collapse.

In fact, that is nonsense. How does he know that when it is good, it will be sold to the government or big capitalists, and when it is bad, it will be sold to ordinary people.

A reasonable guess is that the “British cement” he bought was sold to ordinary people as “Portland cement”.

In order to control the formula, he opened few factories, the production capacity has been unable to increase, and he wanted to make more money, so he did this kind of unreasonable thing.

Since it is so difficult, why do you have to make cement?

Because cement is too important, it is the only building material that has a certain threshold. The brick factories, timber factories and glass factories that Carl mentioned will be sold to others for operation in seven or eight years. Only the cement factory can do more. ten years.

And after the cement is recovered, you can get a very special patent. This patent can make money by lying down, counting the money until you wake up naturally.

Previously, Carl arranged for someone to make a deal with Aspen and his son, and spent hundreds of pounds, but what he bought back was still a pile of junk, not much more than the content of the patent certificate, and the quantitative data that should be given was still not given.

Since you are not benevolent, then don’t blame me for being unrighteous. Carl decided to play hooligans with the “cement hooligans”. He wanted to arrange for someone to steal from a teacher to learn the arts, not just ordinary people, but only those who specialize in this profession.

Other factories will be established first, and the most important cement factory should be prepared first.

“Auntie, do you know if there are any professional spies in our Lao Ha family?”

Princess Maria is confused. Where are you? It’s too high-end. We are all in normal mode. You suddenly come here and I’m not used to it.

“You’re asking the wrong person, little Carl, how can I have talent in this area?”

Come to think of it, Maria was in Vienna and waited to die. How could she get to know such people? It seems that professional spies cannot be counted on, so let’s inquire about this kind of talent from Schmidt and a few people.

“When will Uncle Schmidt come back?”

As soon as the princess heard this, she knew that Colonel Schmidt had an idea.

“I’m back today, do you want to see if there is anyone in his hands?”

When I met Schmidt in the afternoon, little Carl was not polite and asked directly.

“Uncle Schmidt, do you have someone reliable and flexible? We want to do business with him.”

Carl told Colonel Schmidt about the use of cement, not only for building houses, but also for building bunkers, so that he could accept the cement psychologically.

“Uncle, my man has already spent money and asked him to buy it, but the information is wrong, and I’m also very angry, so since he doesn’t follow the rules, don’t expect to “bully me”.

He first made a golden body for himself, and it was the other person who was “not human” first.

Then, as a gentleman, I shouldn’t be “deceived” by you, so I want to take revenge, but my ability is limited, so see if you have anyone who can help.

“There is really one, the brother of my staff officer. I have met him a few times. He is very reliable and flexible. He can speak both English and Austrian.”

Carl was very happy when he heard it, and then made another selling point.

“If he can get this back, I can call the shots and give him a portion of the shares.”

Schmidt was very aloof and didn’t let him continue talking about it.

“You can talk about this yourself, and I’ll build a bridge.”

Carl knows that this uncle doesn’t want to get involved too much. What’s the benefit for you to break it up by yourself, I won’t participate.

“Where are the people? They won’t be in the front-line army, will they?”

“It turned out to be in the army. His younger brother was our staff officer. He also earned a lot of military merit, bought some land, and some shops. He performed just fine in the army, so he quit to help with the business.”

Soon Schmidt invited Mirakovic, Divacovic’s brother.

Milakovich looked honest and honest. If it is as reliable and smart as Schmidt described, then this appearance is very confusing.

Carl also told him how his people were deceived, hoping that he could help him find his place and get back the real milling raw materials and ratios, ingredients and ratios, calcination temperature and calcination time and other key data.

In short, it is to dress up as a victim, and after being deceived, it is completely impossible to swallow this breath, instead of being greedy and having a bad character, he has to steal other people’s information.

When Milakovich heard about this, he agreed to help His Highness find a place.

He wouldn’t even think that it was little Carl who did bad things. A good person who was willing to pay for the local school could go to the trick and cheat other people’s recipes?

It must be that the other party is going too far, and His Royal Highness’s people can’t swallow this breath.

“So, Milakovich, this thing is still very valuable, otherwise my people wouldn’t spend money to buy it.”

Carl thought about it and emphasized the value to him first. In fact, it means to value his work.

“And I told you just now that they have also worked **** defense, so if you can get it here, I am willing to pay 50 pounds to buy it. Of course, it can only be exclusive and cannot be sold to others.”

Coupled with this commitment, not only value your work, but also acknowledge your worth.

“His Royal Highness is serious, this, I should also serve His Highness.”

Milakovich wanted to sell favors to the princess and Colonel Schmidt, but after chatting with Karl, he found that His Highness was young and reliable, so he was more willing to sell favors to him. .

“No, I just said, there are two options, one is a £50 buyout, and the other is to give you 4 points of company equity. You can choose any of these, but you can’t choose both, otherwise I’d rather not ask you to help this busy.”

Carl knew very well that “the gentleman is like righteousness, and the villain is likened to benefit” is to deceive two fools.

Only gentlemen want Yu Yili, villains, idiots, just use the righteousness to fool them.

If you want to work with smart people for a long time, you must first clearly divide your interests; when you work with leeks, as long as you train your voice well, you can go for a long time, but you can be fooled.

“Since Your Highness said so, I choose 4%, and after chatting with His Highness, I think your factory will do well, and it is worth more than 50 pounds.”

Karl and Milakovich chatted, and combined with Uncle Schmidt’s introduction and evaluation of his past deeds, he was sure that this time it should be successful.
