Holy Roman Empire

The position under the buttocks is very important, as for the bad influence, Napoleon IV has not cared about it.

The Minister of Police, An Suoqi, hurriedly discouraged: "Your Majesty, no. The current situation has not yet reached that stage. Once the army is transferred into the city, it is very likely to intensify the contradiction and make the situation further out of control."

Paris is different from other cities, demonstrations have become a part of everyone's life, and it is still an indispensable part.

Although it hasn't progressed to the stage of marching in a bad mood, marching in a good mood, and marching when you are bored, it is still good for your physical and mental health to participate in a demonstration every ten days and a half.

Preventing people from marching and demonstrating will inevitably cause everyone's dissatisfaction.If someone guides, it is likely to cause unforeseen consequences.

Napoleon IV shook his head: "As long as the army is under control, the situation is under our control, and those clowns who jump from the beam can't make waves.

The task now is to quell the wave of strikes as soon as possible. Now that many cities are paralyzed, our losses will be very large if we continue. "

Since the death of Napoleon III, he has been insecure, and even the number of guards in the palace has increased by half, as if only the army can increase the sense of security.

Whether this change is good or bad cannot be concluded in a short time, but it is a fact that the relationship with the military has increased.

Chapter 184 The Premonition of the Stock Market Crash

Franz was also apprehensive as the continent was caught in a wave of strikes.Those who have not lived through the Revolution of 1848 cannot understand the tension.

The first place to go wrong was Rome, where the Italian Independence Organization took advantage of the strike wave.

What's even more bizarre is that they still succeeded. When they heard the news, Franz was stunned, and it is estimated that the top officials of the Italian independent organization were also stunned.

After shouting a few times, Rome was restored.You know, everyone is not ready, just to declare the idea of ​​national independence.

The reality is such nonsense. The police in Rome are all locals, and they are not satisfied with the French for a day or two. They simply slack off and watch the uprising break out.

The French garrison were all outside the city, and there was only one infantry battalion.When the uprising broke out, the French army was waiting for the order, and because the telegraph line was destroyed, it was too late when they received the order.

Don't blame the commander for not being flexible, this is the rule of the French army.The mobilization of the army must be ordered by the superior, and the middle and lower-level officers do not have the authority to send troops, even to suppress the rebellion.

Frankly speaking, the current international situation in Italy is not suitable for launching an independent uprising.The Paris Conference has just begun, and it is the common will of everyone to reconcile contradictions and reduce international conflicts.

The Italian Independence Group is now launching an uprising, and it is difficult to find supporters internationally, and even their biggest benefactor, the British, will not support them now.

Without external intervention, how could it be possible to win with the strength of the Italian Independent Organization?

The current French are not soft persimmons, not to mention that Italy is not yet independent, even if it is already independent, it is not enough for the French to fight.

In Franz's view, this uprising was a farce, and it succeeded in a confused way, and the next fate was to be suppressed by the French.

The only effect was probably to blow the prestige of Napoleon IV and make the situation in France more tense.

On March 3, a week after the Roman uprising, there was another uprising in the Rhineland.

The protagonists this time are not only the working class, but also the capitalists, mainly to oppose immigration.

There is no doubt that the immigration policy of the Berlin government is unpopular, which is cutting off everyone's money.They have taken all the high-tech talents away, so how can the remaining capitalists mix?

The capitalists have long wanted to fight back, but they are unable to fight against the Berlin government because of their lack of strength.Now the strike wave is breaking out, and it's their chance.

The capitalists have blamed the government for not being able to raise wages, and publicly accused the government of high taxation and immigration policies, making it impossible for companies to pay more labor costs.

Some capitalists even publicly promised that as long as everyone stays, after the Berlin government leaves, everyone's salary will be increased by 50.00%.

Judging from the reaction of the capitalists, Franz can be sure that the immigration work of the Berlin government is very well done, otherwise the capitalists will not be forced to play the game in person.

Regardless of success or failure, the relationship between Pude and Germany has begun to become tense.It is also an opportunity for Austria.

The existence of a customs union is always a threat.Franz wanted to abolish it for a long time, but unfortunately, he planned several times before and failed at the last moment.

Now that there is one more Rhineland region, the situation has changed.If the Berlin government doesn't kill these capitalists, after this battle, the future Rhineland region will be a firm anti-Pussian faction.

If all these people are wiped out, the problem is also very serious, which will put the domestic capitalists at risk.

Before Franz took action, Spain was in trouble again.The republican revolt in Madrid, in an attempt to overthrow Alfonso XII, was suppressed and the situation in Spain escalated.

In the first half of 1876, the most frequently used words in European newspapers were "uprising", "riot", "revolution", "repression".

Preliminary statistics show that 36 uprisings with more than [-] people broke out in the European continent in just half a year, and the remaining small uprisings are even more numerous.

Not to mention the outside world, even the Austrian police have suppressed a big empire and two kingdoms.It's really a "great empire" with populations in the double digits.

For political influence, Franz could only send these people to mental hospitals.Of course, rationally, these people may really be mentally ill.

Normal people really can't do such a thing. One of the empires has been lurking for seven years in a manor outside Prague.

The owner of the manor is the emperor, the proprietress is the queen, the three sons are the crown prince, and the residents of the manor are ministers, generals, guards, and maids...

Well, the empire hidden in the mountains and forests, Franz has seen a lot, this is the first time he has heard of this kind of "empire" in the suburbs.

No wonder it was not discovered, this is a complete farce, it is estimated that the neighbors found out and thought they were performing an opera.

The main reason for the exposure was that a traveling merchant went to the manor to sell goods, was forced to levy taxes, and reported the case to the Prague police.

The nature suddenly changed.Before that, the owner of the manor honestly paid taxes to the government. Even if he was an emperor and a minister, everyone thought he was a stage drama lover.

As soon as the illegal taxation came out, it suddenly rose to the height of the chaos of the party, which attracted the attention of the Prague police.I don't know if I don't check, but I was shocked when I checked, and reported to Franz all the way.

Seeing the case file, Franz was dumbfounded.It's enough to be the emperor behind closed doors, why do you have to run away to collect taxes?

Enjoy yourself at home, even if you are caught, you can fool the past with "performance lovers".Without actual action, the police will not define them as "anti-thieves".

There are also thresholds for "anti-thief" in Austria, and not everyone can be.They are clearly inadequate.

Farce is better than riot, Franz is still very open.It is also good to create a little joke and ease the domestic tension.

Facts have proved that ordinary people will not rebel as long as they can fill their stomachs.

The Austrian people have not yet reached the point of starvation. Even if they are really poor, they can sign up for immigration to the point where they have not eaten their last meal.

Many colonial companies are recruiting people, and people will take care of them when they sign a contract.The standard is not high, as long as the limbs are able-bodied, men, women and children are not selected.

No way, who left the colony short of people?Even if the quality was a little worse, the Colonial Corporation couldn't care less.

……

In Milan, Lao Lanno was worried about the stock market. Affected by the strike, the share price of Dakor Textile Factory plummeted.

Even though the strike is over, the stock price is still falling.No way, who made them most famous?

As the source of this strike wave, Dakor Textile Factory has become famous throughout the European continent with the spread of the strike movement, and its popularity is higher than that of many small countries.

Unfortunately, it's not a good reputation.Both the bourgeois-oriented newspapers and the working-class newspapers scolded them with blood.

Obviously they have quelled the strike, and only the Austrian domestic newspapers reported it, and the overseas media chose not to see it.

The reason is naturally clear to Lao Lanuo. The Dakor Textile Factory has offended a lot of people this time, and the capitalists whose interests have been damaged will definitely be angry.

It doesn't matter how the content of the newspaper is written or which class it tends to, but the newspaper office is still capitalist.Wouldn't it fuel the arrogance of the workers' strike if the propaganda of the compromise of the Dakol textile factory?

These unfavorable factors directly affected the share price of Dakor Textile Mills.The financial statements for this quarter are still in the hands of Lao Lanuo, and he is afraid to release them.

Affected by the strike, the Dakor Textile Factory suffered its first loss in ten years. Although the loss was not much, the news will still affect the confidence of the market.

Xiao Lannuo discouraged: "Father, this quarter's report cannot be released to the public. Now the stock market is wailing, if we announce this news, the share price of Dakeer Textile Factory will collapse.

In the event of a full-blown stock market crash, we are doomed.Those big financial groups have not yet completed their retreat. Now that the stock market crashes, they will lose a lot, and they will definitely not let us go. "

There are many definitions of consortium. Generally speaking, it refers to the consortium of large groups and large banks controlled by financial oligarchs, usually a combination of several families.

In a sense, the Dakor Textile Factory is also a part of the consortium. They also have allies, but they do not have the name of the consortium.

The consortium is not as a whole as everyone thinks, but it is full of internal contradictions. Only when they have common interests can everyone be able to agree to the outside world.

The main reason for the strength of the consortium in later generations is that with the deepening of cooperation, everyone's interests are intertwined.It is realized that you have me and I have you, and the internal conflicts have gradually eased.

The Dakor family also has deep cooperation with several big families in Lombardy. Old Lan Nuo once also wanted to form a consortium. Unfortunately, they are nobles, and old Lan Nuo is just a capitalist.

In order to cooperate for common interests, if you want people to truly accept him, you still need a ticket.

Many capitalists have transformed into nobles, and more can fail in transformation, and the Dakor family is one of the losers.

In the African colonial expansion movement, the stingy old Lanno hired a cheap Italian mercenary in order to save costs.

The result is self-evident, cheap is cheap, but unfortunately not easy to use.After a few years of tossing around in the African continent, the military exploits were not obtained, and the army was almost wiped out.

Of course, it was not without harvest, and business opportunities were soon discovered.He made a lot of money in the labor export business, and then opened up cotton plantations for direct production and sales.

The time waits for no one, the money is made, and the opportunity to enter the aristocratic class is also missed.It's hard for outsiders to tell the gains and losses, but Lao Lannuo often regrets it anyway.

After hesitating for a while, Lao Lan Nuo shook his head: "It's not that simple, we have a strike this year, and everyone knows it. Countless eyes are on us. If the financial statements are fake at this time, it will be easy to be seen. question.

Cause the stock market to crash, it is only possible, and the consortium can support the market.If fraudulent financial statements were exposed, we would be completely screwed.

As for revenge, the big deal is to give up part of the overseas market. Can they still do things in Milan?

In other words, do you think that several domestic consortiums have the courage to play so much in the stock market? "

After a pause, Old Lanno added: "Remember, what you see is not necessarily true, it is likely that others want you to see.

Those guys in the financial world are much more sensitive to the market than you think, and their withdrawal speed is much faster than you think.

Otherwise someone would have greeted us long ago.Maybe everyone is ready, just waiting for us to give the stock market the final blow.

As for the losses caused by the stock market crash, it is only superficially shown to the public.In hindsight, you'll find that they've gained far more than they've lost. "

Having said that, old Lan Nuo was still not at peace.According to the current situation, the Dakeer textile factory is likely to become a scapegoat after the fact.

Legally, the stock market crash is not their responsibility, and they do not need to be held responsible.It's hard to say in public opinion, and sometimes spittle stars can kill people.Bad reputation, bad business.

There are so many similar products on the market now, why should people buy the products of the notorious "Dakeer Textile Factory"?

This is not the future, regardless of good reputation or bad reputation, as long as you have a reputation, you can make money.

Now the people are still relatively simple. Many people think that companies with a good reputation have good product quality; companies with a bad reputation have poor product quality.

If the boycott of the people is triggered and the products produced cannot be sold, it will really be over.

Chapter 185 Misfortunes never come singly

Today is the last Friday in May, and the gate of the Vienna Stock Exchange is already full of people.

The "Austrian Securities Management Act" clearly stipulates that listed companies must publish financial statements once every three months, and the time is the next month.

Because companies go public at different times, the reporting cycle is also different. Many companies publish financial statements at the end of each month.

Choosing Friday, when the stock market is closed on Saturday and Sunday, can give the market time to react and prevent investors from selling on impulse.

If it's good news, don't wait until the end of the month, it can be announced at any time.

The company's financial statements and financial newspapers will also be published, but it is a few hours later than the time announced by the exchange. There are not so many people in normal times.

Now is obviously an exception. In the past few months, there have been strikes all over Europe. Naturally, the performance of the companies that have gone on strike will not be better. Everyone is prepared.

Maldonado is also one of the investors. Normally, he does not look at the public announcements of securities. Anyway, even if he does, it is too late to read it on Friday.

Today is an exception, as the Dakor textile mill, in which he holds the most shares, is due to release its financial statements.Deep down, Maldonado was already looking forward to the lesser loss of the Dacroll mill.

No way, he's already stuck.Since the outbreak of the strike, the share price of Dakor Textile Factory has been falling all the way, and there are still more selling and less buying.

The stock price has not fallen to the bottom. That is because the Dakeer textile manufacturer has a great business, has a supporting industrial chain, and has strong anti-risk capabilities. Investors still have confidence.

Looking at the crowded crowd, Maldonado decisively entered the cafe opposite the door and waited.As soon as I entered the third floor, I heard someone say hello.

"Maldonado, this way!"

Maldonado responded and walked over: "You are all here, it seems that today's result is not optimistic."

Several people are old friends who have known stocks. They have been in this industry for several years. Only when they are not optimistic about the market will everyone gather here to wait for companies to announce their financial statements.

A bald middle-aged man complained: "Damn it, can't you say something nice? Even if it's a fool, it's better than being so direct."

Maldonado shrugged: "Forget it, Karen. It's not easy to fool you. If you were optimistic about today's stock market, you wouldn't be here today."

Obviously, the two are already very familiar with each other and speak very casually.

As retail investors in the stock market, they only look good on the surface, but in fact they are worried every day, and they dare not relax even a little bit of trouble.

Looking at the hairline of a few people, you can know that there is usually no less worry.

An old man next to him pointed to the opposite exchange: "It seems to be announced."

As old shareholders, they have their own set of judgment methods.For example, now, other people are still crowding below, and they will know the reaction of the crowd here.

Karen put down the coffee in his hand and said helplessly: "It's really bad news, Maldonado has to say that your mouth really stinks!"

Maldonado had a bitter look on his face: "I don't want it either. Now I'm going to go down and confirm how bad this bad news is. Is there anyone with it?"

A few people looked at each other, and the old man said, "Wait a little longer, now that the stock market has stopped, and there are so many people below, it's not too bad."
