The impact of the economic crisis is a little more than Franz estimates. Affected by the butterfly effect, the global total industry is now much higher than the same period in history, but the market has not increased much.
After the economic crisis broke out, all these hidden crises were exposed. By the end of 1876, the economic crisis had already spread across the ocean and spread to the Great American 6.
The first one to be affected by the fish in the pond was not the capitalists in the north, but the farmers in the south.
It is not only Austria that has declined in textile production capacity, but also in European countries. This directly led to a decline in market demand for cotton, and cotton in the south has been unsalable on a large scale for the first time.
The seemingly ordinary events have far-reaching impacts. There have been calls for the development of their own cotton textile industry in the United States, and some people have begun to take action.
In order to gain greater benefits, farmers are no longer willing to be suppliers of raw materials and have begun to extend their hands to downstream industries.
Franz, who received the information, just smiled and said that the Alliance's development industry had little impact on Austria. In a sense, it was still positive.
This means that the gap in strength between the north and the south will gradually narrow. You should know that in order to balance the gap in strength between the north and the south, European countries have been very tacitly restricting immigration to the north in recent years.
Even so, the balance was maintained, and the advantages of the northern government were still obvious.
If it weren't for the shock of Britain, France and the Austrian countries that the capitalists in the north dared not act rashly, the Second Civil War might have begun.
From the Austrian standpoint, we naturally hope that the southern government has a certain industrial strength and can compete with the north, rather than relying solely on European countries to pull the edge.
If something happens in Europe one day and there is no time to take care of America's Great Six, the Southern government needs at least the power to fight.
Franz is not worried about the combat effectiveness of the army. It turns out that capitalists in the north cannot beat farmers in the south, but now the war is fought for industrial and organizational capabilities.
Among them, "industry" is a prerequisite. Without sufficient industry, the supply of weapons and ammunition cannot be guaranteed, and organizational capabilities cannot be discussed.
There are advantages and disadvantages. After the southern government develops industry, it will inevitably impact the international market and add a competitor.
However, the first one to be unlucky was the British, who made them the overlord of the cotton textile industry?
The Vienna government has bet on the Second Industrial Revolution, and core industries are overwhelming towards emerging industries, and there is no fear of competition in this regard.
Not to mention Americans, even Britain and France are behind in this regard. What is behind is not technology, but behind in talent training.
New technologies have also been developed, Austria can put into industrial production within a few months, but Britain and France will take two or three years to prepare.
In Austria, you can find a few people from the streets and have the potential to become engineers, while in Britain and France, the ratio is much lower.
Not to mention, the American Union countries have a more backward education system. The most suitable path for them now is to copy European countries.
First, rely on piracy to display the industrial quantity. After the exhibition reaches a certain scale, quantitative change will cause qualitative change, and gradually start the road of independent innovation.
This was also the initial path Austria took, but it caught up with the Second Industrial Revolution and got on the express train directly, saving a lot of time.
...
"Immigration" was a hot topic in 1876. The government promoted the benefits of immigration with great fanfare, and the high salary of the Big 6 in Africa was exposed.
In a Vienna grocery store, the owner Rarsf is doing ideological work for his subordinates.
"Africa 6 is not that beautiful, with frequent poisonous insects and beasts, and the savage and cruel cannibal tribes who accidentally went to the barbecue grill.
Don’t read the beauty that is promoted in the newspaper, it’s just fooling you into the past. If it’s so easy to make money, I’ll immigrate.
…”
After a long and long discussion, many people's immigrants became weak. Everyone knows that the 6th may not be as bad as the boss said, and it is definitely not a good thing.
Even in the newspapers, no one said that the African Big 6 is beautiful. The emphasis is on "high salary" and "opportunities", which downplays "risk".
To this day, the mortality rate of Africa's Big 6 is still higher than that of the local area. Even the local black factories have greatly increased the mortality rate, which is far from the lethality brought by the disease.
These data are not a secret, and will also be reported in newspapers. In order to reduce the mortality rate, the government has also printed the African Survival Manual, which records things to pay attention to in life.
All these prove that Africa’s Great Six is not a paradise, and you must survive first if you want to make a fortune.
Seeing that everyone was shaken, Rarsf nodded with satisfaction.
Vienna is not an industrial city and is less affected by the economic crisis. Except for the financial industry, there are almost no changes in other industries, and the business of grocery stores is still acceptable.
Unlike in the past, salaries can be cut during the economic crisis, what Rarsf has to think about first is to keep people.
A grocery store salesman who seems to have no technical content is not capable of anything.
First, remember well. You must remember the location of the product clearly so that you can find the customer's product in the shortest time.
Secondly, you need to have a certain amount of cultural knowledge and you can keep the accounts clearly.
Finally, you need to have a pair of keen eyes to catch the thief in this era without surveillance.
Those with talent may be able to do the job in a few days; those without talent may still cause trouble after several years of training.
Most salesmen work for life, and the main reason is that there is a risk of replacing people. If they change into incompetent people or people with bad intentions, the boss will suffer great losses.
Just as Rarsf was proud of his eloquence, a familiar voice rang out.
"Mr. Rarsf, I have signed up for immigration."
Rarsf: "It's okay Rennes, you can still quit after signing up. Immigration depends entirely on voluntary means you won't force you."
After a moment of silence, Renne lowered his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Rarsf. Thank you for your care, I still want to go out and make a breakthrough."
Rarsf was already furious, but just to show his gentlemanly demeanor in front of everyone, he forcibly suppressed his anger: "You have to think about it, it will be difficult to turn back when you take this step."
Renn lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to reply.
After looking at Renne's performance, Rarsf knew that he had made up his mind, sighed, and said generously: "Forget it, since you have decided, then go out and try it out!
If you don’t do well outside, you can come back again. This is your second home. May God bless you!”
Looking at everyone's touching expressions, Rarsf's anger calmed down. After leaving Rennes, he also bought people's hearts.
Unlike factories that can force everyone to work with whips, grocery stores cannot be managed like this. If people lose hearts, any clerk can cause him to suffer heavy losses.
This is a lesson from countless pasts. Rarsf gradually grew stronger after summarizing the experience of others' failures.
Now he has five grocery stores in Vienna. They can operate normally and can make a show. This is the method of winning people's hearts and the lowest cost.
The grocery store is just a small episode, and not many immigrants left Vienna. The most immigrants are the Bohemia region with the most industrial industries, followed by Lombardy, Venice, Bavaria and other regions.
The mainstream of immigrants now is unemployed workers. Affected by the wave of unemployment, people cannot find new jobs after unemployment, lose their source of income, and have to go out to explore.
The departure of unemployed workers did not attract everyone's attention. For many people, they hoped that all of these people would disappear.
Every time in the economy, unemployed workers are the most unstable factor. Without these people, social security has improved significantly.
But it is different for capitalists. Seeing a large number of immigrants leaving the country, many capitalists are worried. If everyone leaves, where will they go to find cheap labor?
I was originally planning to take advantage of the economic crisis to suppress the just-hit salary, but now I can only think about it.
I was afraid that I would be in a hurry and the entire factory would be empty. This is a lesson from the past, and similar news has been published in the newspaper.
For example: Bavaria's Talelandiel Machinery Factory was not negotiated because of a labor-management conflict, and the workers finally left their jobs and immigrants.
The newly recruited workers, because of their poor technology, have too high defect rate of products produced, resulting in the loss of market competitiveness of the products and the factory is forced to be closed.
There were many similar tricks to death, and many newspapers even made promises to increase their treatment, but in the end they failed to fulfill their benefits, resulting in workers going on strike again.
The bad influence exists, and the good influence naturally exists. Affected by the increase in salary, the domestic market, which should have shrunk during the economic crisis, has seen counter-growth.
Although a part of the population has been lost, the purchasing power of the remaining people has increased. The economics theory of cultivating markets played a significant role in the first time it appeared in Austria.
In addition to some industries that rely heavily on exports, most companies focusing on the domestic market had begun to gradually emerge from the crisis by the end of 1876.
