To fight a trade war does not mean that you have to let the industry develop wildly. Countless cases have proven that uncompetitive companies are the first to fall when a crisis strikes.

It is difficult for an industry that is large but not strong to gain a foothold in international competition. Austria has passed the era of blind pursuit of quantity, and what is needed now is to pay equal attention to quality and quantity.

In order to calm the market, before Christmas 1879, the Austrian government issued a "Market Risk Warning", and a total of 39 industries were listed as overcapacity.

At the same time, the investment entry threshold has been raised, in addition to the required registered capital, but also put forward technical requirements, capitalists want to invest in these industries, must use the most advanced technology.

These thresholds are actually not a problem for capital. Except for the high-tech field, any technology can be easily bought in other industries as long as there is money.

Franz doesn't expect investors to follow the government's advice, and people tend to ignore risks in the face of profits.

The main reason for forcing everyone to adopt more advanced productivity and increase product competitiveness is to allow these latecomers to support them for a longer period of time when the crisis breaks out.

This is very important, once the global overcapacity crisis breaks out, the enterprise is fighting for comprehensive strength, cost and capital will determine who can survive to the end.

The winner is king and the remainder is king, and the last surviving enterprise is the real winner.

The same is true for the country, whoever survives with more enterprises and stronger strength will be the new industrial hegemon.

Perhaps at the beginning of the crisis, British and Austrian capital will join forces to kill competitors, and in the later stage, the industry and commerce of the two countries will inevitably have to do one.

It's just that both are colonial empires, free trade is free trade, and the colonial market is still its own land. With such a flood channel, it will not collapse the whole line.

The hot market gives people the most intuitive feeling that money is easy to make. Almost every industry enjoyed the dividends of the war, with the exception of the immigration industry.

Yes, immigration in Austria is also an industry. Affected by the large-scale migration strategy, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people are migrated to the African continent every year, and a complete industrial chain has been formed from transportation to resettlement.

Unfortunately, the immigration industry has always been inversely proportional to economic development, and it is only when there is a problem with economic development that the immigration industry can prosper.

With the influx of hot money, the number of new jobs has skyrocketed, and people willing to emigrate abroad have naturally decreased.

Vienna's Ring Road, there is an ancient building full of Renaissance atmosphere, which is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past, and the staff gather together in twos and threes, lazily basking in the sun.

If it weren't for the signboard at the gate, no one would have believed that this was an Austrian government department, yes, the famous Immigration Department.

If this was the case in other government departments, it would have been approached by the supervision department long ago, and the Immigration Department is an exception.

When it's busy, it's lit up day and night; In my spare time, I go to work for ten minutes to complete the day's work, and the rest of the time is naturally nothing to do.

When the general staff was idle, Director Gold was worried. It's all idle, what about the big immigration strategy?

Even if the cabinet government understands his difficulties and does not hold him accountable, it will never be able to erase the political stain if it fails to complete its tasks.

In the conference room, Gold put down the report in his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the outbreak of the Russo-Prussian War, the number of applicants for immigration has dropped sharply, and this year's immigration plan is no longer complete.

If we don't take action, next year's immigration work may not be optimistic.

If it continues year by year, the government's grand immigration strategy will be aborted.

The failure of the migration strategy will directly affect the development of the African continent and the process of localization, and this is a consequence that we cannot afford.

From now on, everyone has to move. Mobilize your connections and promote immigrants as much as possible. ”

The faces of the people were bitter, and it was obvious that this was a chore. At this moment, everyone is nostalgic for the period of economic crisis, and they don't have to open their mouths, and a group of people take the initiative to come to the door to pull the relationship.

A senior official objected: "Administrator, I'm afraid it's not going to work." We have put up advertisements all over the country, even in the most isolated mountain villages.

After so many years of propaganda, immigration has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But people are reluctant to leave their homeland, and we can't force them to emigrate. ”

Not everyone is willing to toss, and many older officials, having lost the possibility of going further, are no longer interested in such political tasks.

It's nothing, as long as the order is issued, everyone will still carry it out.

What bothered Gold was that the phrase "it is difficult to work", if it did not work, it would be useless to send all the people out to propagandize.

After hesitating for a moment, Gold said fiercely: "If you can't do it locally, go to other German countries to publicize, as long as you are German immigrants, you can count your political achievements."

In particular, the Kingdom of Prussia, which is at war, can be used as a key propaganda area, and even if you are caught, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will bail you out.

Let's discuss, set a goal, and work in groups. All of the people who are here today will be the heads of the communications group, including me. ”

No way, the Austrian Immigration Agency is already notorious in Germany, and governments are strictly guarding against them.

For example, the Kingdom of Prussia has long listed them as persona non grata, and as long as they are the staff of the immigration department, they cannot even get visas.

However, there are countermeasures and policies. The Immigration Department is also a government department, and it is normal to fabricate a new identity and get through the customs in a fool's way.

Propaganda of immigrants is not illegal, and even if they are caught, the Berlin government has no authority to deal with them, and usually informs the Austrian Foreign Ministry.

Austria is strong enough, and the Berlin government can't do anything on the surface, but secretly let them suffer a little, which is still indispensable.

Gold didn't want to do that, but there was no way, if they didn't make a look of doing their best, how could they let the outside world know that they were working harder?

Those are two completely different concepts that have been tried and those have not been worked hard, and the final strategic plan has not been completed.

Taking the lead in person, no matter what the results are, is better than watching a group of subordinates bask in the sun every day.

Pension, Gold is not yet forty years old? As the head of the most important immigration department under the Colonial Ministry, he still has a long political life ahead of him, and he can go further.

Franz naturally did not know how much pressure the immigration agency had put on the Great Immigration Strategy.

In fact, it is not only the work of the Immigration Service that is stressful, but also the work of many government departments in Austria.

In these years, civil servants were not as widespread as in later generations, but their work tasks were not much less.

In the case of the Department of Immigration, for example, the total staff of the Department of Immigration was less than 1,500, and its scope of work covered the entire European continent, and at its peak it organized up to 1.3 million immigrants a year to go to overseas colonies.

Of course, a large part of this has been organized by colonial companies, and the immigration agency is only a statistical and coordinating the parties.

What should I do if I am short of manpower? The answer, of course, is overtime. Don't dream about the eight-hour work system, when you are busy, you can count yourself as getting off the morning shift.

There is nothing unbalanced, and in an environment where overtime is popular in the whole society, there is nothing to complain about, you must know that factory overtime is actually more serious.

According to Vienna government statistics, the average working day of urban workers is 9.1 hours, which is calculated on the basis of 365 days a year.

If you deduct holidays and rest days, many people work more than 12 hours a day, and the intensity of work is quite large.

Of course, the capitalists will not admit it. Many companies calculate working hours, and also deduct the necessary rest time, meal time, toilet time, and even mechanical intermittent time.

The purpose is very clear, to pay less overtime. In another way of calculation, the daily working hours are reduced by 1~2 hours, and the data looks much better all of a sudden.

The sorrow of the Immigration Department does not affect the Austrian people, and everyone is still immersed in the joy of increasing income and working hard for a dream tomorrow.

There is a good saying: happiness is all about contrast.

Compared with the two countries of Prussia in the midst of war, compared with Greater France, which is in trouble with resources, and compared with many small countries that are in danger, the Austrian people naturally feel happy.
