Chapter 301: Knocking over the table

In order to survive the economic crisis, Austria was the first to open the door valve of dumping. Since September, Austria's exports have skyrocketed.

Agricultural products belong to rigid demand products, and the price decline is not serious, and most of them are nine-fold promotions; The price of daily textile products has fallen a little sharply, and seven or eight folds are a common phenomenon, and the price is not a few.

At this point, profits are no longer important, and selling unsalable goods in exchange for cash flow is king.

I don't know if I don't move, I move and jump. Looking at the skyrocketing export trade volume every day, Franz was terrified.

Austria is the world's largest industrial country, but it is also the world's largest product backlog. After the Russo-Prussian War, it was not only the Berlin government that broke the treaty, but also the Russians.

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

In a sense, the fact that everyone is cutting prices so crazy now is also due to the Russians.

The tsarist government violated the agreement, and naturally the deposit could not be returned. Undoubtedly, this money becomes the income of the business, reducing the cost of goods.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world, and the price reduction export of state-owned enterprises regardless of cost has attracted the attention of people with a heart at the first time, and the brain has realized that "the economic crisis is coming" in an instant.

In times of crisis, cash is king.

Looking at their own mountains of inventory, everyone knows that there is a big trouble.

I don't have to say, I have to follow the trend. In these years, the market is not transparent, corporate profits are relatively high, and now discount promotions can still protect capital.

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

I don't know if anyone has a rhythm, but since September, most of Austria's powerful companies have joined the ranks of developing overseas markets.

There is no problem, it is to develop overseas markets, and "dumping" is absolutely non-existent.

Discount promotion, that is, the company gives profits to consumers. The main purpose is to expand market share and seize market share, which are normal business behaviors.

Large enterprises always have to pursue a little, and they can't be rich and secure, and internationalization is an indispensable part.

This is all the statement of the Austrian media, how many people believe it, no one knows, anyway, the capitalists believe it.

In particular, listed companies have performed the most actively, and capitalists have jumped out of the platform to preach the benefits of internationalization, and they have to ...... shareholders

Thanks to the establishment of a free trade system, favorable conditions were created for the "dumping" of goods in Austria, and it was the European continent that was the first to be hit.

Facts have proved that the people at the bottom of Europe are really not rich these days. After the discount, Austrian industrial products have been very popular as soon as they are launched.

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

The conflict of interests is the most terrifying, and the cheese of the local capitalists is moved, and revenge is inevitable.

Just as everyone was getting ready to take action, the situation changed.

Not only Austrian goods came, but also British and French goods, at least the "English" or "French" printed on the trademark.

"Shanzhai" 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 high-quality imitations.

Patent protection is only valid in the country of registration, and many countries do not have patent laws, and piracy is acceptable.

There is no doubt that there is no increase in the export of goods from Britain and France, and there is a problem with the extra products on the market, but there is no way to distinguish between the real and the fake.

It's all imported, and in this era when there is no network and no surveillance, the devil knows where it came from.

Austria's dumping was also coordinated by the locals, and if they wanted to take targeted action, they dragged Britain and France into the water together.

Although the strong dragon does not suppress the ground head snake, it is not uncommon to accidentally kill the ground head snake.

Unless everyone immediately changes the rules of the game and enters the patent era in advance, within the rules of the game, the government will come forward to crack down on copycat products.

It's impossible, your own butt is not clean, how can you mess around?

According to the data released by the Austrian Information Daily, more than 80 percent of the capitalists in Europe started their business by "copycats", and more than 95 percent of enterprises have patent infringement.

This is an inevitable consequence, the British Industrial Revolution preceded continental Europe, and most of the technology in the first industrial revolution was born in Britain.

Everyone has finished the road, and as a latecomer, if you want to develop industry, it is simply impossible not to plagiarize.

The second industrial revolution shifted to Austria, and the original "copycat" country instantly entered the patent era.

I don't have to say, everyone has to continue to copy! Not to mention the huge cost of not plagiarizing and blazing a new trail, the key is that it may not be successful.

"Patent protection" is actually a means of Anglo-Austrian sheep shearing.

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

Their own goods go out unimpeded, and other people's goods are directly blocked out of the country because they involve patent infringement.

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

What appears to be a fair free trade system on the surface is in fact a tool for Britain and Austria to plunder wealth from the outside world.

It's an open secret, and in addition to being able to fool ordinary people, the upper classes of society are well aware of the nature of free trade.

Knowing is knowing, everyone is still powerless to change. Perhaps all countries together can bring down the free trade system, but no one wants to be the leader.

It's not that I don't want to, but the main thing is that I don It is impossible for Britain and Austria to be enemies of all countries, but it can still be easily done by killing the leader and making an example of the monkey and the chicken.

Theoretically, the most promising role was France, but unfortunately the Paris government did not stop the sugar-coated shells and fell early.

The political pattern in which the three major powers dominate the world is the price offered by Britain and Austria, and if they refuse, they are waiting for the anti-French alliance.

Secondly, there 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 appeal of the Russians is too low, and they have the name of a great power, but their actual influence is limited to Eurasia.

This strength determines that the Russian Navy has lagged behind by an era, and only the army has supported its status as a great power. They have no influence on any other country except their neighbors.

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

The capitalists, who are reluctant to cut their flesh and choose to carry it to death, are falling into the abyss.

The first to hold on was the Kingdom of Prussia, which lost a large part of its territory and suffered heavy losses to its industry and commerce.

It was already struggling, and before they had time to breathe a sigh of relief, and due to the impact of the Austrian dumping, small and medium-sized enterprises could not hold on to it at first.

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

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

There is no doubt that this was instigated by the capitalists, who raised the banner of "debt collection" one by one and demanded payment from the Berlin government.

This is a legacy of the war, and there are too many currencies printed during the war, and if the war is won, it will not be a problem.

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Prussia lost, a large number of marks returned, and the capitalists shorted it, and the mark quickly depreciated after the war.

Before the war, 1 mark could buy 2 kg of high-quality bread, and now 1 kg of the worst quality brown bread costs 7 marks, and this is only the beginning, and the purchasing power of the mark is still declining.

After determining that the value of the big mark could not be kept, the Berlin government made a bold decision to try to pay off its domestic debt by printing money.

Naturally, the capitalists did not agree, and demanded that the government bear the losses caused by inflation, and instead of quantifying the mark, they demanded that it be converted in gold.

Some people even rejected the mark outright, demanding that the Berlin government pay pounds, Aegis or gold.

Naturally, this demand was rejected by the Berlin government.

The Berlin government itself is poor jingling, and it has not declared financial bankruptcy and defaulted on its debts, it is already a discipline, and how is it possible to refuse to accept the mark?

Now the protesters outside are the capitalists who are unwilling to suffer their interests.

The protests had already sneaked into the royal palace in Berlin with the wind, and Frederick III asked with a gloomy face: "Find out, who are the ghosts?" ”

Prime Minister LÊo von Caprivi replied with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the current situation is very serious, and nearly half of the big capitalists in the country are involved, and there are all interest groups.

They are also said to be preparing to set up a debt collection committee to fight against the government. In order to force the government to back down, they are preparing to organize a large-scale strike in the near future. ”

Hearing this answer, Frederick III had a headache.

"The law does not hold the people accountable" does not mean that the law cannot hold everyone accountable for their crimes, but the main thing is that the impact is too great, and the investigation will affect the stability of the country.

After hesitating for a moment, Frederick III sighed: "It seems that our persuasion efforts have failed. The capitalists want the government to pay for their losses, but who pays for the government? ”

No one is paying, which means that the door to compromise is closed. The Berlin government could not afford to take on huge debts and had to rely on currency depreciation to survive the crisis.

The rapid depreciation of the mark, in addition to the massive repatriation of previously issued currency, which caused inflation, and the shorting of the mark by capitalists in the financial markets, was also an important factor in the printing of money by the Berlin government.

If you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who created the problem. This is the universal rule, and deep down Frederick III was ready to overturn the table.

The capitalists may be very strong in the future, but it is not yet their turn to claim the throne and hegemony, and they were originally only prepared to attack the Jews, but now they can only expand.
