Mediterranean Hegemony Road

Chapter 13: Trip to London

The financial crisis of the Austria-Hungary Empire came and went quickly. When the government invested enough funds into the market, the market soon began to pick up.

In the capital feast, Ferdinand, who is full of food and drink, is now on his journey to London.

It's time to go out of the way to avoid the limelight. In the past two years, Ferdinand declared in the Austro-Hungarian Empire that he had risen, and in the capital feast just now he made a lot of money.

I was so striking, this is not Ferdinand's style. Just take this opportunity to go out and solve the gold mine incidentally.

After the rebirth of Jeffrey Dinan, he immediately sent people out to buy land, and many of the famous minerals discovered by later generations were taken into his arms.

Many places are in poor conditions and have not yet been mined for value. But those open-air gold mines can't be left!

Who knows if it will be discovered in advance, and the gold mine is hacked. The income of tens of millions of pounds is enough to make people crazy.

不足 Ferdinand, who is not strong enough, is ready to find a strong partner. He must also ensure his own interests, and this is his trip to London.

Queen Victoria, full name: Alexander Dina Victoria, (May 24, 1819-January 22, 1901), daughter of Prince Edward (Duke of Kent and Strassen), inherited the throne at the age of 18, It is regarded as a national symbol.

女王 Queen Victoria's reign lasted 63 years and 7 months, longer than any British monarch, and longer than any female monarch in history, known as the Victorian era.

This is a period of considerable development in the UK in industry, culture, politics, science and the military.

女王 Queen Victoria is the last monarch of the Hanover dynasty. Her son, heir to the throne, Edward VII belongs to the Saxony-Coburg-Gotha dynasty.

The Victorian era is the most glorious period in Britain. At this time, it was the world's trade center. The British said with satisfaction:

The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields; Chicago and Odessa are our granaries; Canada and the Baltic Sea are our forest farms; Australia and West Asia have our pasturelands; Argentina and the western grasslands of North America have our cattle herds.

Peru brought its silver; South Africa and Australia's gold flowed to London; Indians and Chinese planted tea for us; and our coffee, sugar cane and spice plantations spread across the Indian Islands.

Spain and France are our vineyards; the Mediterranean is our orchard; the United States is our cotton land.

In early December, Ferdinand set off from Vienna and arrived in London shortly before Christmas. Just after disembarking, he met his friend and cousin, Albert Edward von Saxony Coburg-Gotha— —Edward VII.

The two of them can become friends, mainly because they have common hobbies, and their lives are irregular.

Edouard welcomed Ferdinand's arrival very much, and he did not rule out that he could help him share some firepower. After all, two people being trained is not the same as one being trained. Otherwise, to welcome Ferdinand, there is no need for a crown prince to take the horse himself.

"Ferdinand, my brother, why are you here now?" Edward shouted at Ferdinand

"Damn, don't you know how far this road is! The sea waves are really abominable!" Ferdinand complained

Uh ...

Talking about the world, pulling east and west, this is the strength of Ferdinand. The two naturally enjoyed each other. According to etiquette, he had to visit Queen Victoria first.

Buckingham Palace, okay, despite the high popularity in later generations, Ferdinand did not think it was any great. It may have been integrated into this world, and in his opinion, it is similar to an ordinary palace.

The calligraphy and paintings along the way made him look bright. Here, antique relics from all over the world are gathered, like art-like furniture, which opens Ferdinand's eyes.

Edward seemed very satisfied with Ferdinand's performance and said, "If you like, I can consider giving you some, but now I want to meet my mother."

Pulled Ferdinand back to reality, and smiled awkwardly. His reality was just a bit shameful.

"Ferdinand, you are welcome to come here as a guest!" Victoria said, kindly

But for Ferdinand, it is no less than days. Victoria's aura is too strong. He now has some sympathy for Edward. With such a strong mother, it will be difficult to come to life.

Uh ...

Victoria is very old and has limited energy. She quickly let Ferdinand pass away and attended the welcome banquet as usual.

The next day, Ferdinand and Edward flew out and began to tour London.

"Ferdinand, I heard that you have made a lot of money in the past two years?" Edward said enviously

"Not too much, but millions of pounds, just a small number for the royal family!" Ferdinand said lightly

I'm still a bit envious of Edward's envy. With the heirs of your world overlord, isn't it easy to make money? Do whatever you want, not all the money.

当然 "Of course, a few million pounds is nothing to the royal family! But it is an astronomical number for me!" Edward complained.

I thought about it for a moment, it seems that the person in front of me is not living well now. He has a very rigid relationship with Victoria. Although he is the crown prince, he is forbidden from participating in government affairs and his spending is restricted. He also likes cruise ships and horse racing, often spending a lot of money, and financial difficulties are also normal.

"God, please tease me! As the crown prince of the British Empire, there will be no money. Don't tell me the royal family's hundreds of millions of pounds of assets, will you have no money?" Ferdinand exaggeratedly said

In fact, he is so happy, since you are short of money, it is easy to handle. Immediately changed the plan, and it seems to be the same as working with Edward. As long as the colonial officials are not flooded, no one should dare to trouble the Crown Prince's industry!

What do you think, Edward is also better off than Victoria, and the price paid is much less. How can you give up the gold mine delivered to your door!

"Economic control, must not exceed 10,000 pounds per month! You know my expenses are large, how can this be enough?" Edward complained.

"Don't you invest?" Ferdinand asked in cooperation.

怎么 "Why not? But I have a little capital and I can't get much share in the stock!" Edward growled.

"Well, I found a gold mine, and you are not interested?" Ferdinand said with a smile

"Is the supermarket? I have opened a few, but the profit is not so good?" Edward said straightforwardly

Jeffrey Dinan insulted endlessly, you have pirated my ideas, and complained about the low profit in front of me.

当然 "Of course not, I am talking about gold mines, and open-pit gold mines! Do you understand me? Edward!" Ferdinand growled.

"Oh my God, I haven't dreamed of it! If you have a gold mine, you won't dig it yourself, come to me?" Edward said in surprise.

"Damn, don't you know that a lot of manpower is required for mining? You need to know how high the wages are currently being explained by European workers? Looking for your cooperation, UU reading www.uukanshu.com certainly doesn't want to pay the wages!" Ferdinand growled Explain

什么 "What! You don't plan to pay your wages! You unscrupulous capitalist! I won't let you succeed, I will break with you!" Edward said angrily

Ferdinand sneered and said, "Okay, don't make me look, there are no outsiders here, no acting! I have heard for the first time that the British Crown Prince cares about the lives of the indigenous people! So ... ... "

等等 "Wait, tell me earlier, my brother, isn't it just a slave, how much is it for me, but how do I share the money?"

Then the two started to talk, bargaining for a cent, and finally the two reached an agreement, and the two jointly formed United Mining Co., Ltd.

As the owner of the gold mine, Jeffrey Dinan contributed 300,000 pounds, accounting for 60% of the shares; Edward did not pay a penny, and was responsible for solving the workers' problems, while providing protection for the company and solving all external troubles, accounting for 40% of the shares.

The first target provided by Jeffrey Dinan is the Kurgadi mine.

Kurgadi: The Kurgadi Gold Metallogenic Belt is one of the two largest gold producing areas across Australia. The Culgadi Gold Mine Project is located approximately 40 kilometers west of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.

554The discovery of 554 ounces of gold here in 1892 caused the last wave of immigration of immigrants in the world. At that time, Courgadi flooded nearly 16,000 people and almost became the third largest city in Australia.

资源 The resource of this project is about 1.2 million tons, the grade is 1.7 g / ton, and the gold content is 69,000 ounces. During the first 28 months of mine life, 65,000 ounces of gold can be recovered from 3 shallow ore bodies.
