Bulgarian Empire

　　 Major events:

　　 In 1882, Germany, Austria, and Italy held negotiations in Vienna. On May 20 of the same year, the "Treaty of the Three Powers Alliance" was signed, marking the formation of the Three Powers Alliance.

　　 September 30th--Started operation of the world's first hydroelectric power plant (the dam on the Fox River in Epton, Wisconsin was the site where the world's first hydroelectric power plant was installed).

　　……

　　 On January 14, Ferdinand convened an industrial development planning meeting with his management staff.

　　The conference staff includes not only the emerging industries established by Ferdinand, but also the traditional industry leaders of the Kohari family.

　　 It is mainly Ferdinand who discovered that many traditional industries still have great potential to tap. In his plan, there are many places where there is communication, which can complement each other.

　　 For example: Like many nobles, the Kohari family also has its own wine estate, dedicated to serving its own family.

　　Ferferdinand usually drinks a little by himself, and it tastes very good. He felt it was very wasteful. Just serving a few people in his family and raising a large group of children was too wasteful.

　　 can be expanded and sold to the market. Even if the output is expanded and the taste is reduced, as long as it is not lower than the major products on the market, he can sell it.

　　 Like the wheat and potatoes produced in the farm, they can no longer be sold this year, and their own factories can fully digest them.

　　 There are also cattle and sheep on the ranch. You can build your own slaughterhouse and send it to the supermarket to sell.

　　 For example, you can set aside a piece of land near your home city to grow vegetables, produce and sell yourself, etc.

　　 The pomp of the great European aristocrats is often beyond ordinary people's imagination.

　　 Just like Ferdinand now, there are more than a dozen exclusive maids, and there is a team of chefs no less than five-star hotels in later generations. You can cook all kinds of cuisines from more than a dozen countries such as Italy, France, and India.

　　The castle where the guards and servants live is no less than 300 people. The clothes he wears are raised by a tailor who serves him alone. There are seven or eight luxury carriages dedicated to him.

The milk that 　　 drank has its own special pasture, and the cows selected are all the best quality cows for him alone. There are also standard wine estates, only the best quality grapes are used to make wine and so on.

　　Of course, his pomp is nothing. Princess Clementine's style is considered great, which is in full compliance with her identity as a French princess.

　　 Anyway, in addition to the necessary expenses, the income of the Kohari family is no less than 100,000 pounds a year, which is spent on their pomp, and this cost is still rising year by year.

　　 This is also the source of the transformation of big nobles into big capitalists. The income of traditional industries can no longer satisfy their ever-increasing consumer demand.

　　 Ferdinand hates these bad habits and desperately wants to change everything. As for whether he will lose the face of the nobility, he said that he would wear a vest.

　　 Ferdinand has no plan to challenge the noble system, his **** decides his head, and he himself is the beneficiary. Obviously, Ferdinand is still a loyal supporter of the aristocratic system, and some pomp has not changed. At most, the maid served as a secretary.

　　 At the same time that Ferdinand reorganized the industry, the retail industry in Vienna is also changing. Squeezed by Volvo, the profits of many grocery stores have plummeted, and capitalists behind the scenes have transformed and entered the supermarket industry.

　　 Starting in February, a department store called Xiaodingdong opened its doors, breaking Volvo's monopoly position and starting a competition among the retail industry.

　　 continued until October, Vienna, an international metropolis, opened more than 80 department stores and supermarkets.

　　 At the beginning, when everyone chose the site, they all kept a certain distance, deliberately avoiding short-handed encounters. Although there is competition between each other and getting along with each other harmoniously, everyone's profits have passed.

　　 However, after entering 1883, rising stars have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and they can no longer escape. In some areas, there are seven or eight department stores and supermarkets on one street, and some supermarkets are directly door-to-door, directly grabbing business.

　　 Since the supermarket industry has no technical content, capital matters are swarming. By the end of 1883, the density of supermarkets in Vienna was comparable to that of later generations.

　　 The cruel competition has begun, and various methods have emerged one after another. Price wars are naturally the first choice. There are advertisements for discounts on the streets, and everyone’s good days are over.

　　Volvo is the dominant player in the industry. Its stores have spread all over the cities of Austria-Hungary Empire, as well as Germany and Italy. Although it has also been affected, the Vienna stores are still profitable.

　　 Until 1884, the Kotfei Department Store announced its reorganization in March, and this giant department store officially entered the supermarket sector.

　　Ferdinand was very surprised. The brutal competition in the Vienna supermarket sector did not help but his purpose was to scare away some big capitalists from entering the market.

　　 has also been very successful before. Although Volvo’s stores in Vienna have been affected, in other cities, relatively conservative capitalists have been affected by this. Volvo's losses in Vienna, UU reading www.uukanshu.com in other cities have doubled their profits.

　　The background of the Corte Flying Department Store, Ferdinand is still very familiar with it. Behind the scenes, the large consortium of the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kohari family is also one of them.

　　 Because Hungary is the dominant capitalist interest group engaged in the flour processing industry. Although Ferdinand also has a flour processing plant, most of them are self-produced and sold, so he usually doesn't pay much attention to this aspect. This time he was caught off guard.

　　 Ferdinand, who reacted, immediately used the family relationship to figure out the ins and outs.

　　 Due to Volvo’s rapid expansion, its share in the retail industry has become larger and larger. Naturally, the Shuanghui flour processing plant has also risen with the tide, and its market share has continued to grow.

　　 The sales of Hungarian flour in the Austro-Hungarian Empire dropped sharply, and the capitalists engaged in the flour industry could not sit still. If Ferdinand is an ordinary person, he can naturally find a way to make him submit, or send him to see God.

　　 But Ferdinand is also a great Hungarian nobleman, and it belongs to internal competition, and many methods cannot be used. Except for these capitalists who have deep pains, everyone else is watching from the sidelines.

　　I just supported the entry of Kotfei Department Store, changing Volvo's dominant position in the retail industry, and also forcing Ferdinand to make concessions.

　　 Ferdinand was relieved when he occupied the time. As long as it was not the meaning of the entire Hungarian consortium, then he would not be afraid of a small Kotfei department store.

　　 And the news came so quickly, and it clearly showed the meaning of making peace, indicating that the other party did not intend to fight him dead.

　　 This incident also taught Ferdinand a lesson that the construction of intelligence work must be strengthened. Traversers are not omnipotent. If you usually pay more attention to these old family relationships, it is estimated that the two sides have already made peace, and this time will not happen.
