The Rise of the Empire

"Like the cooperation method of Brome-Forth Shipyard?" the Marquis said with a frown. With the sudden emergence of the Bavarian Ship Design Bureau, the development of the Brohm-Fors Shipyard has become a miracle in the industry. In terms of efficiency and construction speed, I am afraid that it is already number one in Germany.

"There are some problems in this cooperation method. After all, we are not a country. The exchanges between the two parties are affected by tariff barriers. If we set up a factory in Bavaria, how much can your country buy? Can you go out of Bavaria and enter a broader market? ? Will our investment gain enough benefits? And if we don’t set up a factory, then the situation is no different from a simple sale.” The Marquis thought very clearly.

"No, it is a closer connection. Neither Bavaria nor Austria has a high status in the world industry. We lack basic industries, while you lack market and financial support. We can completely form a certain independence but Groups with common interests, we are not a monopoly, what we do is not as absolute as a monopoly, but it covers a wide range of industries. In addition, the most important thing is that this is not purely mutual assistance in economic interests, but also involves other aspects. "

As a Ruprecht who knows the future well, Prince Ruprecht has been thinking about a question, as a king, who is the real power to support him. From the current point of view, the kings of Germany almost control the entire country, but in fact, at the last moment, neither the army nor the capitalists are reliable. The nobility suffered heavy losses in the 1st war, irreparably abandoned the king and abandoned the class.

The simple exchange of benefits and privileges can't hold people's hearts at all. The nobles actually work for the king. So what if it was a top aristocrat like Bismarck? If the king does not support you, then there is only one way to resign sadly. Many people actually understand this. So when the kingdom passed, part of it didn't care. Because with the power and financial resources in their hands, they can do better in the Weimar Republic, such as Hindenburg... .

Upper decision decided by the economic background. Fortunately, Ruprecht still remembers this basic principle when he was studying politics. Almost everything in this world revolves around the word economy! Not to mention anything else, at least this sentence is absolutely correct. So Ruprecht, who has advanced ideological weapons, began to think about how to let more people have a common economic foundation! Lay the foundations of your empire. Let more people share weal and woe with the kingdom!

Now that I represent the royal family, if I want more people to share weal and woe with myself, the easiest way is to let them invest their money in my own hands! Once the kingdom is over, your savings will be directly reduced to ashes, are you afraid! Now Ruprecht's credit is just now! Although the current king is poor, he will definitely not default on the contract, and under the credit guarantee, Ruprecht has obtained a large amount of funds through the issuance of bonds, but these are not enough, financial involvement is not enough!

After Ruprecht has money, he is ready to enrich all fields of national production. Compared with Prussia, the capitalists in Bavaria are very weak. The Bavarian industry is relatively backward, and the natural industrial capitalists are not much stronger. Integrating these forces is nothing to the suddenly rich Bavarian royal family, but soon, Ruprecht discovered that the pond in Bavaria is too small, and integration is of little use...

So in the end Ruprecht decided to extend his hand abroad, Austria-Hungary! This is almost the only country where I can reach out and the other party may accept it. The industrial cooperation between Bavaria and Austria-Hungary can be regarded as a group of the weak to keep warm, each taking what they need, and today this step is finally taken.

"Partnership to set up factories, cross-holding.

Ruprecht put forward his own views. "The old foundation has limited your development to some extent, so we have to make it a stove. In Germany, you will have access to better technology and more excellent If you just want to make money, you can do it in Austria-Hungary, but if you want to go to the world, you have to be in Germany. We will do our best to provide help within our capacity, whether it is funds, contacts or discounts. ! We need to break up the old system and re-optimize and reorganize resources. "

"But if there is, is this new industrial body yours or mine? Or is it ours?" the Marquis of Aldrin asked carefully, the respect in his tone did not mean the Marquis's retreat. In this regard, he thought very clearly.

"We are in a different position, I am the king, money is only one of the aspects. I need the factory below to provide me with the best equipment, I don't care who provides it, as long as he can meet our requirements when necessary That’s fine, except for the military industry and some fields that the country must control, I can let go of others, of course, you don’t expect me to give you a monopoly position in a certain industry, I want good things, and monopoly is not good for me.” Rupp Recht made it clear what he meant.

"And you will pass this olive branch to other people at the same time. You attract these companies to Bavaria and prosper Bavaria's economy. At the same time, you provide convenience for us. This deal is very cost-effective." Marquis Odrin already knew about Ruprecht's business. Meaning. It is a proposal that everyone takes what they need, the factory is owned by themselves, but the Bavarian royal family will take a stake, and at the same time interfere with the factory's production from a macro level. After all, the other party is a king, and their needs are different from their own. It is precisely because of the dislocation of needs that it is possible for everyone to cooperate, not a sworn enemy of life and death.

"In addition, if the relationship between everyone wants to go further, I need you to express more goodwill. When the kingdom needs financing or construction of some public projects, I hope that the funds can be provided by people in the circle instead of outside. Because The latter don’t provide money for nothing, and the other side….”

"I understand what you mean. Another aspect is that when someone wants to betray you, you have to consider the price! You use a method similar to cross-holding to tie everyone together. This method is more powerful than the marriage of nobles in the past Too much." Marquis Audrin continued.

This is actually a kind of cross-holding with a change of direction. There is me in you, and you in me. If the Kingdom of Bavaria can be connected with a group of capitalists through this method, then when the Bavarian royal family is in crisis, those capitalists will definitely stand by Ruprecht's side in order not to lose their efforts! After all, it is impossible for the newly formed government to return the money to the capitalists. The fall of the government will cause capitalists to lose their money. This kind of interest binding can almost be said to be the strongest!

The second one is more ~~~. Ask for collection~~~, ask for reward~~~.
