Chapter 239, can't be idle

To fight a trade war, it does not mean that industry has to be allowed to develop wildly. Countless cases have proved that companies without competitiveness are the first to fall when a crisis comes.

Large but not strong industries are difficult to gain a foothold in international competition. Austria has passed the era of blindly pursuing quantity, and what we need now is to pay equal attention to quality and quantity.

In order to calm the market down, before Christmas in 1879, the Austrian government issued a "Market Risk Warning", a total of 39 industries were listed as overcapacity industries.

At the same time, the investment entry threshold has been raised. In addition to requiring registered capital, technical requirements have also been put forward. If capitalists want to invest in these industries, they must adopt the most advanced technology at the moment.

These thresholds are actually not a problem for capital. Apart from the high-tech field, other industries can easily buy any technology as long as they have money.

Franz does not expect investors to follow government advice, and people always like to ignore risks in the face of interests.

Forced everyone to adopt more advanced productivity and increase product competitiveness, mainly to allow these latecomers to support them for a period of time when a crisis breaks out.

This is very important. Once a global overcapacity crisis breaks out, companies will compete for comprehensive strength, and costs and capital will determine who can survive to the end.

The winner is the king and the remaining one is the king. The company that survives in the end is the real winner.

The same is true for the country. Whoever survives more companies and has stronger strength will be the new industrial overlord.

Perhaps at the beginning of the crisis, the capital of Britain and Austria will join forces to kill competitors, and in the later stage, the industry and commerce of the two countries will still have to do one.

However, both are colonial empires, free trade belongs to free trade, and the colonial market is still reserved. With such a flood discharge channel, no matter how hard it is, the entire line will not collapse.

The hot market gives people the most intuitive feeling that money is easy to make. Almost every industry has enjoyed the benefits of war, and the immigration industry is the only exception.

That’s right, immigration in Austria is also an industry. Influenced by the large immigration strategy, hundreds of thousands of immigrants, or even millions of people, have formed a complete industrial chain from transportation to resettlement.

Unfortunately, the immigration industry has always been inversely proportional to economic development. Only when economic development problems occur can the immigration industry prosper.

With the influx of hot money, the number of new jobs soared, and you can make money in the local area, and the number of people willing to immigrate overseas will naturally decrease.

On Vienna Ring Avenue, there is an ancient building full of Renaissance, which is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past. The staff gathered together in groups of three or three, basking in the sun lazy.

If it weren't for the sign at the gate, no one could believe that this was an Austrian government department. That's right, it was the famous immigration agency.

If this happens to other government departments, the supervisory department will have long been visited by the door, and the Immigration Department is an exception.

When you are busy, the lights can be brightly lit every day; when you are free, you can get a day of work for ten minutes to finish your day, so you will naturally have nothing to do in the rest of your time.

When ordinary staff are idle, Director Gold is worried. When they are idle, what should I do with the big immigration strategy?

Even if the cabinet government understands his difficulties and does not hold him accountable, the political stains will never be erased if the task is not completed.

In the conference room, Gold put down the report in his hand: "Everyone, since the outbreak of the Prussian-Russian War, the number of people applying for immigration has dropped sharply, and this year's immigration plan has been no longer completed.

If we do not take action, next year's immigration work may not be optimistic.

If this continues, the government’s large immigration strategy formulated by the government will die.

The failure of the immigration strategy will directly affect the development of the African continent and the localization process, and this consequence is not something we can bear.

From now on, everyone must move. Mobilize their own connections and promote immigrants as much as possible."

Everyone's faces were bitter, obviously this was a chore. At this moment, everyone was missing the economic crisis. Without having to speak on their own, a group of people came to the door to get in touch.

A senior official opposed: "Director, this may be difficult to work. We have posted immigration publicity advertisements all over the country, and can be seen even in the most closed small mountain villages.

After so many years of publicity, immigration has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, the hometown is hard to leave, and the people are unwilling to leave the land, so we cannot force them to immigrate."

Not everyone is willing to make trouble. Many older officials are no longer interested in this political task after losing the possibility of further development.

This is nothing, as long as the command is issued, everyone will still execute it.

What made Gold's headache was that this sentence "It's difficult to work". If it doesn't work, it would be useless even if everyone was sent out to promote it.

After hesitating for a while, Gold said fiercely: "If you can't do it locally, just go to other German countries to promote it. As long as you are a German immigrant, you can count your political achievements.

Especially the Kingdom of Prussia, which is in war, can be used as a key propaganda area. Even if it is caught, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will bail you.

Let’s discuss, set a goal, and carry out work in groups. The people participating in the meeting today will be the head of the publicity team, including me."

There is no way, the Austrian Immigration Agency is already notorious in the German region, and governments are strictly guarding them.

For example, the Kingdom of Prussia has long listed them as unpopular targets. As long as they are staff members of the Immigration Agency, they cannot even get a visa.

However, there are countermeasures above and policies below. The Immigration Department is also a government department. It is normal for a new identity to get away with it.

It is not illegal to promote immigration. Even if you are caught, the Berlin government has no right to deal with them. Usually, it is notified to the leaders of the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Austria is strong enough that the Berlin government cannot do anything on the surface, but it is still indispensable to let them suffer in secret.

Gold didn't want to do this, but there was no way. If he didn't act like he was doing his best, how could the outside world know that they worked harder?

If you work hard or not, and the strategic plan is not completed in the end, these are two completely different concepts.

Take the lead in a trip, no matter what the results are, it is better than watching a group of subordinates bask in the sun every day.

In retirement, Gold is less than forty years old? As the most important head of the immigration office under the Colonial Ministry, he still has a long political life and can go further.

Franz naturally didn't know how much pressure the Immigration Strategy formulated at the time brought to the Immigration Agency.

In fact, not only is the Immigration Agency under great pressure, but many Austrian government departments under great pressure.

Civil servants are not as rampant as in later generations these days, but there are not many work tasks.

Taking the Immigration Agency as an example, the total staff is less than 1,500,000, and the work scope covers the entire European continent. At its peak, it organized at most 1.3 million immigrants to travel to overseas colonies in a year.

Of course, a large part of this is already organized by colonial companies, and the Immigration Agency is just a statistics and coordinates relations between all parties.

What should I do if I lack staff? The answer is naturally to work overtime. Don’t dream about the eight-hour work schedule. When I’m busy, it’s considered a morning shift.

There is nothing imbalanced. In the environment where overtime is popular in the whole society, there is nothing to complain about. You should know that overtime in factories is actually more serious.

According to data statistics from the Vienna government, the average working hours of urban employees are 9.1 hours a day, which is calculated on average 365 days a year.

If holidays are deducted and after the rest days, many people work more than 12 hours a day, and the work intensity is quite large.

Of course, capitalists will not admit it. Many companies calculate working hours and deduct necessary rest time, meal time, toilet time, and even mechanical break time.

The purpose is very clear, and you will pay less overtime. If you change the calculation method, the working hours every day will be reduced by 1 to 2 hours, and the data will be much better all of a sudden.

The sorrow of the Immigration Department does not affect the Austrian people. Everyone is still working hard for a dream tomorrow with the joy of increasing income.

There is a saying that goes: Happiness is all compared.

Compared with the two countries in war, the Austrian people naturally feel happiness compared with the Great Francebi, which is in trouble with resources, and the many small countries that are in danger.
