As soon as the news of the railway company's external offering came out, it immediately caused a sensation, and in less than three days, the initial shares of these five companies were carved up, and a total of Rp 30 million was raised.

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

Everyone is well-informed, and they know very well that the government's purpose in doing this is to win over local powerful factions to make a fortune together, so that no one will cause trouble for the railway project.

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

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

As for the rolling heads of people killed in the suppression of the rebellion last year, they automatically ignored it. Before you know it, your ass moves again, and the traitor should naturally be killed.

With so many powerful factions taking shares, Franz doesn't have to worry about the rest of the matter. These people are in a hurry than him, and the sooner the railway is built, the sooner everyone can make money.

The exploration team of the Ministry of Railways has already set out, and 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, the construction of five railways began: the double railway (Prague to Bratislava), the Viese railway (Vienna to Szeged), the Vima railway (Vienna to Milan via Venice), and the Lusa railway (Ljubljana to Zagreb).

Of course, the actual construction distance is definitely more than that, and these five are just the main lines.

For example, there will be a feeder connection between the Vese Railway, the Vese Railway will extend west to Salzburg, and there will be a bunch of branch lines between the Twin Railways.

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 the main line?

Naturally, it stretched to both sides, west to the connection of the Villach and Vimy railways, and east to Slavonia Brod.

There are four or five thousand kilometers of main roads alone, and with the miscellaneous branch railways, more than 10,000 kilometers is appropriate.

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

This was also acquiesced by Franz, and as compensation, the Austrian government would provide the railway company with part of the free labor, depending on the conditions of the construction.

It's all on the boat, and now you still want to quit? Without the government's labor that can be used as consumables, it is not easy for the railway company to build the railway.

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

Think about it, how big of a social impact would be if thousands of people died? Not to mention anything else, 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, which build hundreds of kilometers of railways every year, and the number of casualties is controlled within a certain range, and everyone can bear it.

If there were heavy casualties, the workers would have gone on strike. Did you bring slaves back from overseas to carry out the construction? The price of slaves in this era was also not cheap, and the freight was not a small amount.

The construction of railways in this era can be said to be very cruel. There are too few mechanical equipment, most of which have to be carried on manual shoulders, and people often play with equipment in dangerous areas.

Opium, and many unscrupulous railway companies prepare daily necessities for workers, most of them can't bear this pain, and rely on opium to paralyze themselves, and after a few years, people will be abolished.

There is no doubt that these newly established railway companies in Austria are all representatives of unscrupulous railway companies, and the shareholders behind them are a group of sanctimonious aristocrats.

Because of the nobility, they have to take care of their reputation, and many things can be done secretly, but they can't do it in the open.

It is not easy to whitewash, and the reputation accumulated by ancestors is even more profane. Just look at Franz's performance, the emperor himself does not touch his hands, and the Habsburg family must also open a vest for investment.

In this case, what could be more reassuring than to use criminals? No matter how many people die, public opinion will not condemn them, at least in this era.

Of course, this is also indispensable to find a few managers, presidents or something to blame for their management mistakes, and then there is no more.

These people are all chaotic parties, and they have been hacked to the bottom of the pot in public opinion, and as long as the Austrian Empire exists for a day, it is impossible for them to be overturned.

Don't think that if there are no nine tribes in Europe, the Austrian government will not engage in it. When it comes to rebellion, the nobles on top will be finished, let alone the small people?

Everyone is pretending to be confused, ordinary people will not admit that they have rebelled, as long as they keep to themselves, the government will pretend not to know anything.

Anyway, the war was so chaotic, and it was very difficult to find out the situation, so it was directly treated as the death toll, otherwise how did Metternich come up with the death toll?

These people have died in their household registers, their families have treated them as dead, and many funerals have been held in advance.

Except for the initial time when Franz suppressed the rebellion in Vienna, when the "rebels scrambled to defect" were lightly dismissed, the rebels in Italy and Hungary were basically dead.

These people have also become the best laborers, and those who have died once cannot be done again, and these people have died and burned them down.

There is no need to pay salaries, no pensions are required. There will be no family troubles, no media condemnation, and there will be no follow-up troubles.

The only problem is that these people are in the hands of the government, and if they want to use nature, there is a price to pay. It is true that there are not so many additional sections according to the prior agreement, but there is also no promise of free labor, right?

After not hesitating for long, everyone decided to fix it. It's just that these sections are repaired later, anyway, it saves the largest piece of labor expenses, and it doesn't increase the budget much.

In the future, if there is a profit, it will be put into operation, and if there is no profit, it will be sent once in ten days and half a month, which is also their freedom.

As long as the Austrian railways control the frequency of operation, the possibility of losing money is actually not large, and no matter how remote the area, you can get together a carload of goods in ten days and half a month.

The routes planned by the Ministry of Railways are all connected to cities, not villages, so how can there be no business?

The unpopular route can't make money, but the problem of capital preservation is not big, even if it is a loss, it won't be too much.

This is the advantage of private railway companies, they can flexibly allocate train schedules, and freight and passenger transportation can be deployed according to actual demand.

If the following dispatchers are given such a large authority, it is estimated that the railway system will soon be hollowed out by them, and this supervision is still very troublesome.

The bosses of private enterprises themselves will keep an eye on it, and whoever the government sends to watch it cannot guarantee that it will not be corrupted, so the emperor Franz can't pay attention to this problem every day, right?

There is also the government to consider political factors, many local economic development requires the railway to operate every day, the railway system will lose money in the short term, but the local economy has also been driven, and the government's tax revenue has increased.

In the end, whether the government lost or made a profit, it is difficult to calculate this account.

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

If you want to schedule, you must report layer by layer, unless it is a special case, most of the time few staff will ask for trouble, and the operating cost will naturally go up.

After a series of bargaining, everyone finally reached an agreement, and the construction of the railway in Austria began.

In order to recover the cost in the shortest possible time, this time the "trilateral approach" (exploration, design, and construction) was adopted.

The construction of the railway has just begun, and everyone has helplessly found a problem, it seems that the sand and gravel mines around the railway have fallen into the hands of the Austrian sand and gravel group.

This made many people regret that before the construction of the railway, the sand and gravel around the city were still worth a little money, and the sand and gravel in the wilderness were not cared for at all.

But now it is different, and a large amount of sand and gravel raw materials will definitely be used to build railways. In this era, there were no automobiles, so they could only be transported by human or animal power, and there was no choice but to use local materials.

As soon as they got the news, the management of the railway company was furious, they were originally invited by the shareholders to come over to do the dirty work, and it was their turn to appear.

It's a pity that there was no chance for them to perform, and when the Austrian Sand and Gravel Group showed off backstage, it was as if nothing had happened.

No, it happened. When I came, I was going to smash the field, and after figuring out the situation, I became a business talker, and when I left, I took away a good supply contract signed with the Austrian Sand and Gravel Group.

All sand and gravel supply is based on the market price, and if the market price is not controlled, it should be considered a fair trade.

Franz still knows the importance of it, and it is okay to make a small profit, but if it is too much, it will not have a good impact if it is passed out.

Therefore, the market price of sand and gravel has not increased significantly, but it has increased by three layers compared with before the construction of the railway.

Taken together, the unit price has only risen by four percent, and the price has barely been raised, which can definitely be regarded as 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, and many of them were bought from the aristocracy.

The most valuable thing in this era is information, and there is no way that they are not well-informed enough, and they are greedy for small gains, so they can only admit defeat.

The only thing that reassures them is that it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is not specifically here for the railway. It is not only the sand and gravel mines that have been bought, but also the other chaotic mines except for the gold and silver mines, which are too expensive.

Even these sand and gravel mines are not all along the railway, but in the barren mountains and mountains, and they are obviously making money by casting a wide net.

With so many sand and gravel mines, it is naturally impossible for Franz to send people to manage them, 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 naturally can't do things that squeeze workers, including the fact that he is the boss behind the scenes, is not allowed to leak out.

At this time, it is necessary to find a contractor, the big nobles don't look down on the business of the two dealers, aren't there still small nobles and small capitalists?

Franz didn't need to worry about this, and soon after the news of subcontracting was released, someone contacted the head of the Austrian sand and gravel group.

With the order contract in hand, it is destined to be a profitable deal, and the negotiation is still very easy.

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

According to the actual situation, the Austrian Sand and Gravel Group extracts 20% to 30% of the profits from the contract price, and the rest is at the discretion of the contractor, including the payment of taxes and labor wages, and the contract is terminated after the completion of the railway construction.

Whether they can make money depends on the management level of these people, anyway, it is the Austrian Sand and Gravel Group that signed the contract with them, and all the responsibilities are thrown to the contractor, even if it is in addition to the big problem, at most the Austrian Sand and Gravel Group will be traced to the vest number.

And then there was no then, and behind the vest number was still the vest number, and it stopped at this point. Those who know are smart people, and no one will lift the lid.

No matter how others calculated and how they competed, as soon as they changed hands, Franz earned the largest profit.

It is estimated that when these railways are completed, Franz will recover all the money he invested in buying the mine in advance, and the mine is the biggest profit he earns.

You must know that this is the beginning, only a part of the sand and gravel mine has been developed, and there are still a bunch of mines waiting to be developed. At this moment, Franz found that the mine owner was the happiest.
