670 End of the cottage era

Without being the fuse of the world war, Sarajevo is still just a beautiful ancient city surrounded by mountains.

It is unremarkable in many Austrian cities.Especially after the competition for the provincial capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina failed, it was even more unremarkable.

This is also related to the policies of the Vienna government.In order to avoid excessive concentration of resources and unnecessary waste, administrative centers, economic centers, and industrial centers usually do not get together.

Sarajevo is a land transportation hub in the province of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its industrial development is not bad. It is also a historical city. These advantages have become the disadvantages of his competition in the capital city.

Although its popularity is low, Sarajevo's economic development is not at all satisfactory. Especially after Bosnia and Herzegovina became another heavy industry center in Austria, the local economy has skyrocketed.

With its geographical advantage, Sarajevo can also be ranked in the top 20 among many cities in Austria.

In an office building on Urho Boulevard in Sarajevo, the headquarters of the Fick Group, a giant in the field of hardware accessories, is here.At the moment, CEO Janor is doing a work report to the boss.

"Mr. Sloof, our proposal for the establishment of a comprehensive food processing plant failed to pass the review. The government gave the reason that the market was saturated, and Sarajevo was not suitable for the development of the food processing industry, and suggested that we change our investment direction.

Fick Sloof frowned. The best thing to sell during the war was food besides arms, especially food that can be eaten by tearing the bag.

Compared with the arms trade in the taller, food is easier to start.The profit of food may not be comparable to arms, but the sales volume is large!

Austria is a neutral country and can export materials to both Russia and Russia.The total strength of the warring parties has long exceeded two million, and the number of recruits was twice that number.

It is impossible for so many people to cook a fire every day. In many cases, in order to hurry, they can only use homemade dry food.

Everyone can't stand eating dry food every day.This requires a lot of "better taste" and "more nutritious" convenience foods, such as: biscuits, canned food, French fries, wine ...

Slovh calculated that the daily food consumed by both sides in Russia and Russia exceeded 2,000 tons, with a total value of more than 280,000 Aegis.

In terms of the duration of the war for one year, this is the market with more than 100 million Aegis.This is only the most conservative. Slovf believes that this war will take at least two or three years to win or lose. This is the market of two or three hundred million.

During the war period, the profits of buying and selling were high and did not need to be much. As long as they could get 1% of the market share, he needed to get him to recover his investment and make a big profit.

After pondering for a while, Slovak said slowly: "Send someone to check who is against us. In addition, arrange time as soon as possible, and I will invite Secretary Danilo to dinner."

Slovf did not see the overcapacity. What he saw was that both Russia and Russia were waving checks to buy and buy. Where did the excess capacity come from?It is clear that supply exceeds demand!

Yanor explained a little anxiously: "Mr. Slovf, this time there should be no one against us.

After the proposal was rejected, I sent someone to check it. Not only us, but the projects that have recently invested in the field of food processing have not been approved.

It may be related to the risk warning issued by the Vienna government not long ago.The capital invested in the food processing field has soared recently, and the original food processing enterprises are also desperately expanding their production capacity.

It takes a certain time from investment to production, and the market has not responded in the short term. We are now entering the market late."

Janor is opposed to entering the food processing industry. Even if there is no concept of food safety this year, investing in the food processing industry in the heavy industry center is not a reliable business.

It's okay if the company is small. Once it is scaled, raw materials are a headache.

Being able to survive in this era of weak meat and strong food, and live a very nourishing life, Slovf is naturally not a fool, he has long considered these risks.

Profiteering is always accompanied by risks, and there are naturally businesses that can make profits without compensation. It is just such a business. The big aristocrats have long been divided, and it is impossible for him to do it.

The overcapacity crisis, even if it breaks out, will only occur after the war and during the war, both Russia and Russia will desperately sweep the goods.

This is determined by reality, they must not not buy.If anyone does not buy, the materials will fall into the hands of the enemy.What should the front-line army do without buying enough supplies?

I would rather buy more materials and leave them in the warehouse. It is better than lack of materials, which leads to the defeat of the war.

The post-war crisis depends on who runs fast.Anyway, I have passed Jianglong, so I can just go for it, but it is not the main business. Slovf is not concerned about the quality of the industry.

Slovf didn't care, but the Austrian government couldn't care.If it fails the audit, as long as it meets the legal requirements, it can also invest in the construction of the factory, but the government's support is gone.

Sloof asked: "If we can't get government support, how much will the cost of investing in building factories increase?"

After pondering for a while, Yanor replied slowly: "According to the relevant government regulations, the food processing industry is a key support industry, mainly including: the government provides land for factory construction free of charge, and the tax is halved in the first three years.

According to our plan, it takes about 158 ​​acres of land to build factories and warehouses. At the current land price in Sarajevo, about 126,000 Aegis is required.

The tax relief is broad and it is difficult to determine specific figures, but the food processing industry has a low tax rate, roughly equivalent to about 3.5% of turnover."

After hesitating for a while, Slovf sighed helplessly: "Fine, the plan is cancelled. The funds are used to expand our hardware accessories production capacity, faster."

There is no way to get free land use rights, the cost of land alone accounts for one-third of the total investment; without tax concessions, profits have dropped significantly, and risks and benefits are no longer proportional.

This is still industrial land and the price is relatively low. If it is commercial land or residential land, the land price will increase substantially.

The Vienna government did not vigorously develop real estate, but as urbanization continued to advance, land prices continued to rise.

This is not controlled by the government. Apart from state-owned land, Austria has the most private land.These lands follow the principle of free trade, and prices simply cannot be controlled.

The land prices in Sarajevo are fairly modest, and there are tens of acres of acres of land in the center of Vienna. In addition to the development of high-end residential and commercial real estate, other industries simply cannot afford it.

This is still the result of multi-polar development, Vienna ’s small population, or land prices will be even more crazy.

...

Unable to get involved in the most profitable industry, Slovf can only choose to take the next step and expand the original industry.In front of the crazy market, all industries are now making money.

After hesitating for a while, Yanor proposed: "Mr. Slovf, it is better to add some auxiliary business. For example: processing cans and boxes.

Now the canning industry is developing rapidly, and the demand for boxes is also growing rapidly.With our technology, there is no problem to produce cans."

Most of the cans this year are made of iron boxes, and glass cans are luxury goods.

It is not that glass production technology is not good, mainly because the cost of glass jars is relatively high, and transportation is difficult and damage is easy to occur.

Costs have gone up, prices have gone up, and market competitiveness has been lost.

Not to mention the war years, we must use high-quality and cheap tin cans!Food safety is never a problem, anyway, big people do n’t eat it.

Processing canned boxes is only a small business, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. As a qualified capitalist, Slovf never thinks he has too much money.

"Very good, Janor. Your proposal is great, just open your mind.

Now that the market competition is so fierce, we must open up new businesses as much as possible and increase corporate profits to survive in the future market competition.

Not only canned boxes, wine bottles, kettles, we can also produce these small objects, you can arrange it!"

Since Austria joined the free trade system, market shocks have occurred every day, and "crisis awareness" has gradually gained popularity.

If it wasn't for the Russian-Russian war to come in time, a competition in the industrial market that affected continental Europe might have broken out.

Smart people know that war only delays this process, and what should come will still come. This is not something that individuals can stop.

Either take advantage of this opportunity to take off, or sink into competition.

While the Russian-Russian war delayed the crisis, it also exacerbated the crisis.Austrian newspapers have publicized every day that capitalists naturally will not fail to respond.

Some people choose to diversify their development, expand new businesses, and share risks; others choose to work hard and improve their competitiveness in the industry.

Slovf himself is also an advocate of diversification, wanting to use the opportunities of the Russian-Russian war to expand his business to the food processing industry.

Don't look at the fierce competition in the food processing field, but this is Austria's ace industry. All competitors across Europe are brothers in this field.

Under the free trade system, the dominant Austrian food processing industry is more resistant to risks than other industries.

However, reality has brought Slovakia back. There is no way that Sarajevo is an inland city after all. The news is relatively blocked, and Slovak's response is not fast enough.

Unable to expand into the food processing industry, he had to choose to dig deeper into hardware accessories to develop related businesses as the core.

As for Austria ’s more competitive power and internal combustion engine fields, it is not that Schroof had no idea, it was completely out of reach.

These fields that rely on technology to eat are not something that ordinary people can join in casually.

The era of playing with cottages has passed. Austria has already entered the era of patents. Without its own core technology, it is impossible to gain a foothold.
