Holy Roman Empire

The news of the railway company's external fundraising immediately caused a sensation. Within three days, the initial shares of these five companies were divided up, and a total of 30 million rupiah was raised.

I have to say that the big nobles are arrogant, and the family invested 1.8 million shields without blinking.

Everyone is well-informed, and it is clear that the purpose of the government to do this is to attract local powers to make a fortune together so that no one will disrupt the railway project.

Even so, there is no reason for everyone to refuse to get rich?

Franzken took them together to make a fortune, which means that the emperor regarded them as his own, which made many people feel at ease.

As for the heads of people who suppressed the rebellion and killing last year, they automatically ignored them.Unconsciously, the ass moved again, and the traitor should be killed.

With so much power to invest in shares, Franz doesn't have to worry about the rest.These people are more anxious than him. The railway is built one day earlier, and everyone can make money one day earlier.

The exploration team of the Ministry of Railways has already started. In order to speed up, the newly established railway company has also organized its own exploration team and joined the exploration work.

At the same time, five railways were started, namely: Shuangbu Railway (Prague to Bratislava), Visse Railway (Vienna to Szeged), Vimy Railway (Vienna to Milan via Venice), Lusa Railway (Lubour) Yana to Zagreb).

Of course, the actual construction distance is definitely not only a little bit, these five are just the main lines.

For example, there is a feeder railway connection between the Shuangbu Railway and the Weisse Railway. The Weisse Railway will extend westward to Salzburg. The Shuangbu Railway also has a number of branch lines.

Not to mention the Lusa Railway, the straight-line distance between the two places is only more than 100 kilometers. How can such a short distance become a main line?

Naturally, it extended to both sides, to the west, the Villach and Vimy railway were connected together, and to the east to Slavonia Brod.

The main trunk road alone has four or five thousand kilometers, and with a variety of branch railways, more than 10,000 kilometers is appropriate.

There is no doubt that the Ministry of Railways has carried private goods inside, and has adopted a bundling method to pack some difficult routes.

This is also Franz ’s acquiescence. As compensation, the Austrian government will provide some free labor to the railway company, depending on the construction conditions.

I got into the boat, but I still want to quit?It is not easy for railway companies to build railways without labor in government hands that can be used as consumables.

Once the casualty rate is too high, even everyone's eyes can't cover it?

Think about the social impact of thousands of deaths?Not to mention, the pension alone can make them vomit blood.

This is also one of the reasons for the slow growth of railway mileage in European countries. With hundreds of kilometers of railways built every year, the number of casualties is controlled within a certain range, and everyone can afford it.

If the casualties are heavy, the workers will strike.Did slave slaves come back from overseas for construction?The price of slaves in this era is also not cheap, and freight is not a small amount.

Building railways in this era can be said to be very cruel.There are too few mechanical equipments, and most of them rely on artificial shoulders. People often bring equipment to play in dangerous areas.

Opium is a lot of unscrupulous railway companies preparing daily necessities for workers. Most people can't bear this pain, and opium paralyzes themselves, and people abandon it a few years later.

There is no doubt that the newly established railway companies in Austria are representatives of unscrupulous railway companies, and the shareholders behind the scene are a group of decent nobles.

Because of the nobility, they must take care of their reputation. Many things can be done in secret, and they ca n’t do it on the bright side.

It is not easy to whitewash, and the reputation accumulated by the ancestors cannot be blasphemed even more.Looking at Franz ’s performance, the emperor himself does not stick to his hands, and the Habsburg family investment must also open a vest trumpet.

Under such circumstances, what is more reassuring than using criminals?No more deaths, no public opinion will condemn them, at least in this era.

Of course, this is indispensable to find a few managers, presidents and other blame, condemning their management errors, and then no.

These people are all chaotic parties, and have been hacked to the bottom of the pan in public opinion. As long as the Austrian Empire exists for a day, they cannot be reversed.

Do n’t assume that there are no nine people in Europe, and the Austrian government will not do so.Involved in the rebellion, the high nobles are going to die, not to mention the promotion of the small people?

Everyone is pretending to be confused. Ordinary people will not admit that they have artificial rebellions in their lives. As long as they are safe, they will pretend to know nothing.

Anyway, it was so chaotic during the war, and it was very difficult to check the feelings, just deal with the death toll, otherwise how did the death toll from Metternich come from?

These people have already been killed in their household registration, and their families have also regarded them as dead. Many people's funerals have been held in advance.

Except for the time when Franz suppressed the rebellion in Vienna at first, the rebels who were fighting for rebellion were taken lightly. The rebels in Italy and Hungary basically belonged to the dead.

These people have also become the best laborers. Those who have died once can't do it again. These people died and burned to completion.

There is no need to pay wages, no pension payments.No family trouble, no media condemnation, no follow-up trouble.

The only problem is that these people are in the hands of the government, and they want to use it at a natural price.According to the prior agreement, there are really not so many additional road sections, but there is also no commitment to provide free labor, right?

Without hesitation, everyone decided to repair.It's just that these road sections are repaired at the back. Anyway, the largest labor cost is saved, and the budget is not increased.

In the future, it will be put into operation if there is profit. If there is no profit, it will be a trip every ten and a half months. This is also their freedom.

As long as the Austrian railways control the operating frequency, the possibility of losing money is actually not very large. In remote areas, it is possible to put together one car for ten days and a half months.

The routes planned by the Ministry of Railways are all connected to cities and not to villages. How can there be no business?

Unpopular route, can not make money, but the problem of capital preservation is not big, even if it is a loss will not be too much.

This is an advantage of private railway companies. They can flexibly allocate trains, and freight and passenger transport can be allocated according to actual needs.

Government operations will not work. If the following dispatchers are given such a large authority, it is estimated that the railway system will soon be emptied by them. This is very troublesome to supervise.

Private enterprise bosses will stare at themselves. No one who is sent by the government can guarantee that they will not be corrupted. Emperor Franz can't pay attention to this problem every day, right?

Also, the government has to consider political factors. Many local economic developments require railways to operate every day. In the short term, the railway system will lose money, but the local economy has also been driven, and the government's tax revenue has increased.

In the end, whether the government lost money or made a profit is difficult to make clear.

In order to avoid large-scale corruption and reduce losses, most of the railways operated by the government are usually fixed.

If you want to schedule, you have to report every layer. Unless it is a special case, most of the staff will rarely ask for trouble most of the time, and the operating costs will naturally go up.

After a series of bargaining, everyone finally reached an agreement and the construction of the Austrian railway was started.

In order to recover costs in the shortest time, this time the "trilateral plan" (prospecting, design, construction) was adopted.

The railway construction work has just begun. Everyone found a problem helplessly. It seems that the sandstone mines around the railway have fallen into the hands of the Austrian sandstone group.

This made many people regret it. Before the railway was built, the gravel around the city was worth a little money, and nobody in the wilderness and wilderness.

But now it's different. Railway construction will definitely use a lot of raw materials for sand and gravel.There were no cars in this era, and they could only rely on human or animal power transportation. They had no choice but to obtain materials locally.

As soon as we got this news, the management of the railway company was angry. They were originally shareholders who were invited to do the dirty work. At this time, it was their turn to appear.

It's a pity that without their chance to perform, when the Austrian sandstone group showed up in the background, it happened as if nothing had happened.

No, it happened.When I arrived, I was going to smash the place. After I figured out the situation, it became a business talk. When I left, I took away a good supply contract signed with the Austrian Sandstone Group.

The real child-man does not bully fair trade, all the gravel supply is at market price, if the market price is not controlled, it should be considered fair trade.

Franz still knows the importance, making a small profit, if you play too much, it is not good to pass it.

Therefore, the market price of sand and gravel has not been greatly increased, but it has been increased by three floors compared with before the railway construction began. Of course, the railway company is a major customer, and another 20% discount is given.

Taken together, the unit price has only risen by 4%, and the price has hardly been raised. It is definitely a conscience price.

This is also within the rules. As early as the first half of the year, Franz bought these minerals at the price of cabbage, many of which were bought from the nobles.

The most valuable thing in this era is information. There is no way that their information is not well informed, and they want to be small and cheap, and can only admit defeat.

The only thing that assured them was that it seemed that His Majesty the Emperor did not specifically target the railway.It was n’t just sandstone mines that were bought. Except for gold and silver mines, which were too expensive, other messy mines were bought.

Not all of these sandstone mines are along the railway line, and they are all in the barren mountains and wild mountains. Obviously, they are also making money by spreading nets.

With so many gravel mines, it is naturally impossible for Franz to send someone to manage in the past. After all, the unit price of sand and gravel is not high, and the profit mainly depends on the volume.

As an emperor who cherishes feathers, he can't do anything about squeezing workers, including the fact that he is the boss behind the scenes.

At this time, you need to find a contractor. Are the big nobles disregarding the sales of the second traders, are there still small nobles and small capitalists?

This didn't require Franz to worry, and after the wind of subcontracting was released, someone soon contacted the head of the Austrian sandstone group.

With an order contract in hand, it is easy to negotiate a profitable business.

The contractor is responsible for recruiting workers for mining, is responsible for managing all the work on the mine, and bears legal responsibility for this.

According to the actual situation, Austrian Sandstone Group withdraws 20% to 30% of the profits of the contract, and the rest is freely controlled by the contractor, including paying taxes and paying artificial wages. The contract is completed after the railway construction is completed.

Whether you can make money depends on the management level of these people. Anyway, it is the Austrian Sandstone Group that signed the contract with them, and all the responsibilities are laid on the contractor. Even if it is the biggest problem, it will be at most. The vest of the Austrian Sandstone Group was traced.

Then there is no more, the vest is still behind the vest, and at this point it will be stopped.Insiders are smart people, and no one will lift the lid.

No matter how others calculate, how to fight the tiger, Franz made the biggest profit as soon as he changed hands.

It is estimated that when these railways are completed, all the money that Franz has invested in buying the mine will be recovered, and the mine is the biggest benefit he earns.

You should know that this is the beginning. Only a part of the gravel mine has been developed, and there are a lot of mines waiting to be developed.At this moment Franz discovered that the mine boss was the happiest.
