The impact of the economic crisis was even greater than Franz had estimated. As a result of the butterfly effect, the total amount of global industry is now much higher than it was at the same time in history, but the market has not increased much.

After the outbreak of the economic crisis, these hidden crises were exposed. By the end of 1876, the economic crisis had spread across the oceans to the American continent.

It was not the capitalists in the north who were the first to be affected, but the farmers in the south.

The decline in the production capacity of the textile industry is not only Austria, but also in European countries, which directly leads to a decline in the market demand for cotton, and cotton in the south is unsalable on a large scale for the first time.

What may seem like an ordinary event has a profound impact. There was a call in the Confederate States of America to develop its own cotton textile industry, and some people began to act.

In order to obtain greater profits, farmers are no longer willing to be only suppliers of raw materials, and have begun to reach out to the downstream industry.

Franz, who received the information, just laughed it off, and the development of industry in the Confederates had little effect on Austria. In a sense, it's still positive.

This means that the power gap between the North and the South will gradually narrow. You must know that in order to balance the power gap between the north and the south, in recent years, European countries have tacitly restricted immigrants to the north.

Even this bias has only allowed the balance to be maintained, and the advantages of the northern government are still obvious.

If it weren't for the deterrence of Britain, France and Austria, which made the capitalists in the north dare not act rashly, perhaps the Second Civil War would have begun.

From Austria's standpoint, it is natural to hope that the southern government will have a certain industrial strength and be able to compete with the north, rather than simply relying on European countries to pull the strings.

In the event that one day something happens in Europe and there is no time to care about the American continent, the governments of the South will need to at least have the strength to fight.

The combat effectiveness of the army, Franz was not worried, it turned out that the capitalists in the north could not win against the farmers in the south, but now the war is fought for industrial and organizational ability.

"Industry" is a prerequisite for this, and without enough industry, it is impossible to guarantee the supply of weapons and ammunition, and there is no way to talk about organizational capabilities.

After the southern government develops industry, it will inevitably impact the international market and add one more competitor.

However, it was the British who were the first to be unlucky, and who made them the overlords of the cotton textile industry?

The Vienna government is already betting on the second industrial revolution, and the core industries are transitioning to new industries, which are not afraid of competition at all.

Not to mention the Americans, even Britain and France lagged behind in this regard. It is not technology that is lagging behind, but lagging behind in personnel training.

Similarly, new technologies have been developed, which can be put into industrial production in Austria in a matter of months, while it takes two or three years for Britain and France to prepare.

In Austria, just a few people on the street have the potential to become engineers, while in Britain and France the proportion is much lower.

Not to mention the Confederate States of America, their education system is even more backward. The most suitable development path for them now is to copy the European countries.

First, rely on piracy, develop the number of industries, and then develop to a certain scale, and then cause qualitative changes in quantity, and gradually open the road of independent innovation.

This is also the path that Austria took in the first place, but it caught up with the second industrial revolution and went directly to the express train, which saved a lot of time.

……

"Immigration" was a hot topic in 1876, when the government publicized the benefits of immigration with great fanfare, and the high salaries on the continent were exposed.

In the Vienna grocery store, the owner, Ralsf, is doing ideological work for his subordinates.

"The African continent is not so beautiful, with poisonous insects and beasts, and savage and cruel cannibal tribes that accidentally go to the barbecue.

Don't look at the good things advertised in the newspapers, it's just fooling you to the past. If it was so easy to get rich, I would have emigrated.

……”

After a long compilation, many people have lost their hearts about immigration. Everyone knows that the very mainland may not be as bad as the boss said, and it is definitely not beautiful.

Even in the newspapers, no one said that the African continent was better. The emphasis is on "high salary" and "opportunity", and the "risk" is downplayed.

To this day, the African continent still has a higher mortality rate than its own country. Even local black factories have greatly increased the mortality rate, but they are far less lethal than the disease brings.

These data are not secret, and they are also reported in the newspapers. In order to reduce mortality, the Government has also issued the African Survival Handbook, which records the things that need to be taken care of in life.

All this proves that the African continent is not a paradise, and if you want to be rich, you must first survive.

Seeing that everyone was shaken, Ralsf nodded in satisfaction.

Vienna is not an industrial city, it has been less affected by the economic crisis, except for the financial sector, which has been affected a little, there is little change in other industries, and the grocery store business is still passable.

Unlike in the past, when salaries could be cut in an economic crisis, Ralsf's first priority now is to keep people.

Grocery store salespeople who seem to have no technical content can also do everything.

First of all, the memory should be good. It is necessary to remember the location of the product so that the customer can find the product in the shortest possible time.

Secondly, it is necessary to have a certain cultural knowledge and be able to keep accounts clearly.

Finally, have a keen eye. In this era without surveillance, the thief can be caught.

If you are talented, you may be able to do the job in a few days; If you don't have talent, you still have frequent messes after a few years of training.

Most salespeople work for life, and the main reason is the risk of replacement. In case it is replaced by an incompetent person, or a person with a bad heart, the boss's loss will be great.

Just as Ralsf was proud of his eloquence, a familiar voice sounded.

"Mr. Ralsf, I've signed up for immigration."

Ralsf: "It's okay Rennes, you can withdraw if you sign up, immigration is all voluntary, and you won't be forced to do so." ”

After a moment of silence, Wren lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ralsf. Thank you for your attention, I still want to go out. ”

Ralsf was already furious, just to show his gentlemanly demeanor in front of everyone, he forcibly suppressed his anger: "You have to think about it, this step out, it will be difficult to turn back." ”

Wren lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to reply.

Looking at Wren's performance, Ralsf knew that he had made up his mind, sighed, and pretended to be generous: "That's it, since you have decided, let's go out and break through!"

If you don't mix well outside, you can come back again, this is your second home. May God bless you! ”

Looking at everyone's touched expressions, the anger in Ralsf's heart also subsided. walked a Rennes, but also bought people's hearts.

Unlike factories where you can force everyone to work with a whip, a grocery store can't be managed like that, and if you lose people's hearts, any clerk can make him lose a lot of money.

There are countless lessons from the past, and Ralsf gradually developed and grew after summing up the experience of other people's failures.

Now he has five grocery stores in Vienna, and he can rely on his ability to put on a show. This is the cheapest way to buy hearts and minds.

The grocery store was just a small episode, and not many immigrants left from Vienna. The largest number of immigrants is still in Bohemia, where the industry is the most developed, followed by Lombardy, Venetia, Bavaria and other regions.

At present, the mainstream of immigrants is unemployed workers, affected by the wave of unemployment, after which people cannot find new jobs, lose their source of income, and have to go outside to break through.

The departure of unemployed workers has not attracted everyone's attention. For many, these people wish they were all gone.

In every economy, unemployed workers are the most unstable factor. Without these people, public order has improved markedly.

But it is different for the capitalists, many of whom are worried about the large number of immigrants leaving the country. If everyone is gone, where will they go to find cheap labor?

I was going to take advantage of the economic crisis to suppress the newly rising salary, but now I dare to think about it.

For fear of urgency, the entire factory was empty. There is a lesson to be learned from the past, and similar news has been published in newspapers.

For example, the Bavarian Maschinendist Machinery Factory was the result of a labor conflict that was not negotiated, and finally the workers left their jobs and the immigrants emigrated.

The newly recruited workers, because of the poor technology, the production of products defective rate is too high, resulting in the loss of market competitiveness of the products, the factory was forced to close.

There are many similar tricks in the newspapers. There were even promises of increased pay, which were not fulfilled in the end, causing the workers to strike again.

Bad influences exist, and good influences naturally exist. The domestic market, which should have shrunk in the midst of the economic crisis, has experienced reverse growth due to the increase in wages.

While some of the population has been lost, the purchasing power of the rest has increased. The theory of cultivating markets in economics played a significant role when it first appeared in Austria.

With the exception of some industries that relied heavily on exports, most of the enterprises focused on the domestic market had begun to emerge from the crisis by the end of 1876.
