731 Overturning the table

In order to weather the economic crisis, Austria took the lead in opening the dumping valve.Starting in September, Austria ’s foreign exports have skyrocketed.

Agricultural products belong to just-needed products, and the price drop is not serious. Most of them are 10% off and 5% off sales promotion. The price of daily-use textile products has dropped a little bit.

By this time, profit is no longer important. Selling unsalable goods in exchange for cash flow is king.

Don't know if you don't move.Looking at the soaring export trade volume every day, Franz was terrified.

Austria is the world's largest industrial country, as well as the world's largest product backlog.After the Russian-Russian War, not only did the Berlin government breach the contract, the Russians were no exception.

The war is over, and orders that have not yet been delivered will naturally not perform.

In a sense, everyone is now credited with such crazy price cuts.

The Czar ’s government breached the contract and the deposit could not be returned.There is no doubt that this money becomes the income of the enterprise and reduces the cost of goods.

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world. State-owned enterprises' price-reduced exports at any cost immediately attracted the attention of interested people, and they instantly realized that “the economic crisis is coming”.

In times of crisis, cash is king.

Looking at his pile of mountains of inventory, one by one knows that it is in trouble.

Not to mention, we must follow suit.This year the market is still opaque, corporate profits are relatively high, and now discounted sales can still protect the capital.

If the response is slow, once the economic crisis erupts, the buyer will not be found.

Does anyone know the rhythm? Since September, most of Austria ’s powerful companies have joined the ranks of developing overseas markets.

If there is no problem, it is to develop overseas markets, and there is absolutely no "dumping".

Discounted sales, that is, the company makes profits to consumers.The main purpose is to expand market share and seize market share, which are normal business practices.

Big companies have to pursue something a little bit. If you can't be wealthy, then internationalization is an indispensable part.

This is what the Austrian media said. How many people believe it? No one knows. The capitalists believe it anyway.

In particular, the most active performance of listed companies, capitalists have jumped out of the platform, preaching the benefits of internationalization, and simply to investors ...

Thanks to the establishment of a free trade system, favorable conditions were created for the “dumping” of Austrian commodities, and the European Union was the first to be hit.

Facts have proved that this year the bottom of Europe people are really not rich.The discounted Austrian industrial products have been well received just after they went on the market.

A large influx of cheap foreign goods will naturally impact the local market, and it is inevitable to pull hatred.

The conflict of interests is the most terrifying. Revenge is inevitable if it touches the cheese of the local capitalists.

As everyone was preparing to take action, the situation changed.

Not only the Austrian goods came, but also the English and French goods rushed in. At least "English" or "French" was printed on the trademark.

"The cottage" is a characteristic of the times, everyone is pirating each other, and more than half of the industrial and commercial products on the market are all high-quality goods.

Patent protection is only valid in the country of registration. Many countries do not have patent laws, and piracy can be justified.

There is no doubt that there is no increase in the goods exported from Britain and France, and there are problems with the extra products on the market, but there is no way to distinguish between genuine and fake.

They are all imported goods. In this era of no Internet and no monitoring, ghosts know where they are shipped from.

Austrian dumping is also coordinated by locals. If they want to take action against it, they dragged the British and French together.

Although Qianglong does not suppress the head snake, it is not uncommon to accidentally kill the head snake.

Unless everyone immediately revises the rules of the game and enters the patent era ahead of time, within the rules of the game, the government will come forward to crack down on cottage products.

It's impossible, because his buttocks are not clean, how can it be messed up?

According to data released by the Austrian Information Daily, more than 80% of capitalists in Europe are all started from "cottages", and more than 95% of companies have patent infringements.

This is an inevitable result. The British Industrial Revolution was much earlier than Continental Europe, and most of the technologies in the first industrial revolution were born from Britain.

Everyone has finished the road. As a latecomer, it is impossible to copy without plagiarism.

The second industrial revolution was transferred to Austria, and the original "cottage" country immediately entered the patent era.

No need to say, everyone will continue to copy!Without plagiarism, re-opening a new road, not to mention the huge cost, the key is not necessarily successful.

"Patent protection" is actually a means of shearing wool by Indo-Austria.

After the establishment of a free trade system, everyone's goods can be circulated freely. Britain and Austria, which have a large number of patented technologies, naturally hold high the banner of patent protection.

My own products are unimpeded, and other people's products are directly blocked from the country because of patent infringement.

The essence of this world is: whoever sets the rules of the game, who will have an advantage in the competition.

The free trade system, which looks very fair on the bright side, is actually a tool for Britain and Austria to plunder wealth from the outside world.

This is an open secret. Except for ignoring ordinary people, the upper class understands the nature of free trade.

Knowing to know, everyone is still unable to change.Perhaps all countries can unite to overthrow the free trade system, but no one is willing to be the leader.

It ’s not that I do n’t want to, but I dare not.Britain and Austria cannot be enemies with all countries, but killing the leading monkey-killer can still be easily accomplished.

In theory, France is the most promising to play this role, but unfortunately the Paris government did not block the sugar-coated shells and fell early.

The political pattern in which the three great powers dominate the world is the price paid by Britain and Austria, and rejection is the anti-French alliance.

The second is the Russian Empire. For geopolitical reasons, as long as the tsarist government does not die, no one can help them.

It is a pity that the Russians' appeal is too low, and the name of a great power is empty, but the actual influence is limited to Eurasia.

Determined by this strength, the Russian navy has fallen behind by an era, relying solely on the army to support the status of a great power.Apart from their neighbors, they have no influence on other countries.

Affected by large dumping, market competition has become more brutal.Smart capitalists have already reacted and joined the ranks of discount sales.

The capitalists who are reluctant to cut the meat and choose to carry them are falling into the abyss.

The first unsustainable is the Kingdom of Prussia. Due to the war, Prussia lost a large area of ​​its territory, and domestic industry and commerce were hit hard.

It has been difficult for the first time, and it has not yet taken time to relax, and it has been affected by Austrian dumping.

Since November, layoffs, bankruptcy, and debt collection have become the hottest topics in the Kingdom of Prussia.

In front of the Berlin Royal Palace, a large number of protesters have gathered.

There is no doubt that this was caused by the capitalists, holding up the banner of "debt collection" one by one and demanding payment from the Berlin government.

This is a legacy of war. During the war, too much currency was printed. If you win the war, this is naturally not a problem.

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Prussia lost, a large number of mark return, coupled with short capitalists, after the war mark quickly depreciated.

Before the war, 1 mark could buy 2 kilograms of high-quality bread. Now 1 kilogram of the worst quality black bread also needs 7 marks. This is just the beginning. The purchasing power of Mark is still declining.

After determining that Mark ’s large currency could not be kept, the Berlin government made a bold decision to repay its domestic debt by printing money.

The capitalists naturally refused to agree and asked the government to bear the losses caused by inflation. Instead of quantifying the mark, everyone asked for conversion with gold.

Some people even directly rejected Mark, demanding that the Berlin government pay sterling, Aegis or gold.

This request was naturally rejected by the Berlin government.

The Berlin government itself clanged poorly. Without declaring financial bankruptcy and delinquency, it was already a morale. How could it be possible to reject Mark?

Now the protesters outside are encouraged by capitalists who are not willing to lose their interests.

The sound of protest had already sneaked into the Berlin palace with the wind, and Frederick III asked with a sullen face: "Check it out, who are the ghosts?"

Prime Minister Leo von Caprivi replied with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, the current situation is very grim. Nearly half of the major domestic capitalists have participated in it, and there are all interest groups.

It is said that they are also preparing to set up a debt collection committee to fight against the government.In order to force the government to make concessions, they plan to organize a large-scale strike in the near future."

Hearing this answer, Frederick III had a headache.

"The law does not blame the public" does not mean that the law cannot hold everyone accountable for crimes, mainly because it has too much influence, which will affect the stability of the country.

After hesitating for a while, Frederick III sighed: "It seems that our persuasion has failed. The capitalists want the government to pay for their losses, but who will pay for the government?"

No one pays, which means that the door to compromise has been closed.The Berlin government cannot afford huge debts and can only survive the crisis by devaluing its currency.

The rapid depreciation of the mark. In addition to the large amount of currency backflows previously issued, which caused inflation, and the short marks of capitalists in the financial markets, the Berlin government ’s rampant printing of banknotes is also an important factor.

Those who can't solve the problem can solve the manufacturing problem.This is a universal rule all over the world. Deep inside, Frederick III has made plans to overturn the table.

The capitalists may be strong in the future, but it is not yet their turn to rule the king. It was originally intended to be used by the Jews, and now it can only be expanded.
