Mediterranean Hegemony Road

? 1929 was a watershed. After the London stock market crash broke out, the whole world fell into the Great Depression, and governments of all countries were trying to find ways to restore their economies.

Bulgaria is no exception, but the impact is much smaller. The Ten-Year Plan has not yet ended. At this time, there is still no shortage of jobs in the country.

Every economic crisis is a survival of the fittest. Inferior companies are finished, and high-quality companies become stronger.

Ferdinand's standards for judging high-quality companies are different from those of experts and professors. In his opinion, most companies can become high-quality companies or low-quality companies.

The inspection standard is very simple, just look at the market value. For example: London Pharmaceuticals, according to the standards of the public, a company that monopolizes the production of penicillin in this era is also a high-quality company, right?

In Ferdinand's eyes, on the contrary, London Pharma's market competitiveness is indeed unparalleled, and the company's internal management system is also very healthy. Even in the economic crisis, the company's profits are still thriving.

However, the sum of all these factors still cannot change the essence of him being a low-quality enterprise. The reason is very simple, the market value of London Pharmaceuticals is too high!

In Ferdinand's view, if the market value is less than 100 million pounds, London Pharmaceuticals is a high-quality company, and when the market value exceeds one billion pounds, it is a junk asset.

No matter how powerful the company is, there is one essence that cannot be changed. The market is not infinite. When the market is almost developed, is there any value in investing at this time?

Usually, when the market development is about to end, the valuation of the company has reached its peak. At this time, it is time to go public and collect money.

No one is a fool, and it is impossible to send you money. If a company can no longer raise money offline and wants to raise money online, the result is self-evident.

Don't doubt the judgment of the consortia. In this regard, the information in the hands of ordinary people is limited, and there is no way to compare with others. The chance of picking up a leak is really too small.

Little Ferdinand, tell me, if you were to buy bottoms now, which industries would you choose?

Don't rush to answer me, take these materials back and read slowly, the accuracy of the content here will not be less than 90%, you can make a preliminary judgment! said Ferdinand with a smile.

After speaking, he handed him a stack of materials for him to sift through as a new test.

Do not worry,

Father! Little Ferdinand replied confidently.

Not only these things, but many political issues, Ferdinand Jr. has already started to take over. After his wedding, Ferdinand entrusted most of the work in his hands to him.

If it wasn't for the establishment of the Bulgarian Empire, he was worried that little Ferdinand would not be able to hold on to the place. Ferdinand would have retired now, and then he would live a happy life of traveling in the mountains and playing in the water.

I have suffered all my life, and now I should enjoy it. In this regard, the kings of the West have an advantage over the kings of the East. They don't need to fight to the death, they can abdicate if they want to.

There is no so-called battle for the right to inherit the throne, nor is there a battle for the rights of father and son, at least not in Bulgaria now.

Little Ferdinand was not under so much pressure. The five outstanding younger brothers all had their own jobs, and they were all working in the same promising job in different places.

This is really hopeless, from the beginning to the top, no further hope in sight.

It is not easy to fight from a king to become an emperor. Even though Ferdinand has worked so hard for so many years, he has only changed from a grand duke to a king, and he is still one step away from being an emperor.

If little Ferdinand wants to become emperor, then he can only count on his father Ferdinand to succeed first, and then wait for the succession.

If Ferdinand hadn't been crowned emperor, then don't even think about little Ferdinand, no one would agree.

For example, after the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, William I wanted to be crowned Emperor of Germany, but everyone opposed it.

The title given to him by the federal government was Emperor of Germany. William I once threatened to abdicate and refused to accept this title. In his view, this was a shame.

In the end, he was persuaded, and under internal and external pressure, he was forced to choose a compromise.

William I said before he took the throne: Tomorrow will be the most unfortunate day in my life, and we will send the Prussian kingship to the grave. And all this is your responsibility, Duke Bismarck.

In fact, this was also caused by internal and external pressure. In order to complete the initial unification of the country, Prime Minister Bismarck chose to compromise, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among William I.

In fact, this is not Bismarck's idea alone, otherwise William I would have killed him long ago, and it would be impossible for him to remain in power forever.

German Emperor, this is an honorary title. In fact, William I was crowned as the chairman of the federal government.

The established German Empire is legally equivalent to the Republic, except that the leader of the Republic is called Emperor and can be hereditary.

After the defeat of World War I, William II left directly, while several other kingdoms remained, which is also the reason.

If William I was crowned the German emperor, it would not be so easy to abolish the royal family after World War I, at least legally it would not be allowed.

Everyone will not agree, because the abolition of the German emperor is also announcing the disintegration of Germany, and the independence of all states is declared legally, which is splitting the country.

In this context, even if they are abolished, they can continue to look for opportunities to restore it. However, William II has never wanted to restore it from the beginning to the end. It is not because he does not want to but because he cannot.

Legally, he is a hereditary president. Since he is the president, he can be replaced.

An honorary emperor and a real emperor are two completely different concepts in Europe.

Right now, Ferdinand's situation is much better. At least no one in the country opposes him. It's nothing more than a question of whether his international influence can be recognized.

There is one more thing you need to do. I hope you can have a child this year, which will help stabilize people's hearts! Ferdinand said cautiously

To be honest, he didn't want to interfere with this issue. This was little Ferdinand's private life, but unfortunately, it happened just in time.

Having a child is a big plus for little Ferdinand in politics, and Ferdinand doesn't care about his grandchildren, as long as he has it.

Now the people are very concerned about the next generation of the royal family, and everyone hopes to see the birth of the third generation soon. Even the wife of Grand Duke Boris, who is thousands of miles away, is pregnant, and celebrations are held in the country.

This shows the problem. If little Ferdinand has no offspring for a long time, everyone's evaluation of him as the crown prince will also decline.

There is no way, this is also a pain in the ass for the people to be idle. If they want to find something to do, some people are worrying about their heirs.

Father, I will do my best to solve this problem. Whether it can be done or not depends on God! Little Ferdinand said helplessly.

What can he do when encountering such a thing? Apart from working hard to make people, there is nothing to do!

Don't be too nervous, that's how I came here back then! It's even more stressful than you are now. You must know that the Bulgarian royal family at that time was really thin!

Now your task is also very important, just work harder, as long as I ask you to exceed me in this aspect, it is enough, of course, if you can have a few more, the better! said Ferdinand encouragingly.

It is also politically correct to have more children in Bulgaria. This is a national policy implemented by Ferdinand for 30 years, and it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

According to normal circumstances, each couple has five or six children, and the population can almost double in twenty years. Ferdinand is setting an example.

Now it's little Ferdinand's turn, don't think about passing the level easily, it's impossible.

Influenced by the royal family, the normal folk birth standard starts at six, and now Bulgaria is short of legislation stipulating that both husband and wife must have at least six children.

Of course, this was the fault of Ferdinand, including the six starting points, which were also guided by him. In order to increase the population, he did everything he could.

Father, is this too much? Little Ferdinand asked uncertainly

Little Ferdinand, you have to look forward. For example, Valentina Vasilyeva, the heroic mother, gave birth to 27 births, a total of 69 children.

Of course this is a special case, this is really too hard, I did not ask you to do so! ’ said Ferdinand jokingly.

The legend of Valentina Vasilyeva was brought over by Russian immigrants, and Ferdinand did not know if it was true or not, but this did not prevent him from taking it as a typical example of propaganda.

Father, are you sure this is true? Little Ferdinand asked suspiciously

Oh, the Russians have recorded this matter in local historical materials, and her descendants can testify, so let's consider it true!

This is just an example for you. There are many similar examples. There are also many heroic mothers in China. You must know that there are also many millionaires who have become millionaires by giving birth to children! Ferdinand thought for a while and said.

Yes, father, I also know that if you hadn't amended the family planning law and blocked the upper limit, the Bulgarian government would have gone bankrupt by now! Little Ferdinand said helplessly

There are always people with different talents. Given the population base of Bulgaria, there will always be people who express their opinions. The highest record registered so far is 28 births.

If the money is paid according to the original double standard, the Bulgarian government can go bankrupt directly. Fortunately, the standard announced by the government is very smart.

According to the provisions of the Bulgarian family planning law, starting from the third child, enjoy the reward of 100 levs, the fourth child doubles, and the fifth child doubles again...

If calculated according to this standard, 2 to the 23rd power, a billionaire has already been born.

Although there are not many such perverts, the number of people with more than twenty births is not small.

There is no way to put the population base, even if it is a one in ten thousand chance, there are several thousand.

Bulgaria does not provide pensions and does not engage in high welfare, because all the money is poured into encouraging births. Nearly 30% of its annual fiscal revenue goes into this big pit.

The rapid population growth is also based on the continuous investment of the government. If it weren't for the safety of the mother, the hospital forcibly tied the knot, and this record would have been broken long ago.

Okay, it's just a joke, don't be so sad!

This problem, just let it be, don't put too much pressure on it, your mother and I will never lack grandchildren, so you don't have to put too much pressure on it! Ferdinand added another knife.

Now Xenia is no longer in Sofia, if there is no other way, Ferdinand has probably gone to Finland now.

Sure enough, as soon as the grandchildren come out, the son will fall out of favor. Of course, this is only the preferential treatment for the first grandchild. If there are more grandchildren in the future, don't think about this treatment.

This can be regarded as a turn of events. Because of the child's problems, Ferdinand was not less taught by his mother until little Ferdinand was born. Now it is his turn to teach his son.

Father, let's change the subject. You see, the population in the country is growing and the gap between regions is also widening. Do we need to take measures? Little Ferdinand said with an idea

You should discuss this issue with the cabinet. I can only tell you about the issue of unbalanced regional economic development. Just do your best and don't have too much hope!

The geographical location is different, the natural conditions are different, and the development potential is of course different. Don't think about the balanced development of all places, that is just an ideal state! ’ Ferdinand replied casually.

If it weren't for the continuous growth of the population, the domestic economic development would not be so fast. The baby industry in Bulgaria has grown rapidly in recent years.

The incentives given by the government are all cash, and the money does not go to sleep in the bank, but is spent on the upbringing of the children.

This also invisibly completes a redistribution of wealth. Usually, the poorer the place, the higher everyone's enthusiasm for childbearing, and the more subsidies and rewards they receive.

If you have more children, you can get rid of poverty and become prosperous. Anyway, as long as you are seven years old and send them to school, your parents will complete the task.

Education in Bulgaria is completely closed, and compulsory education has been extended to eight years. Except for a few days of vacation every month, they live in school at other times. The school will be responsible for the arrangement of food, clothing, housing and transportation for these eight years.

After the completion of compulsory education, about 40% of them can go to middle school for further studies, and the rest usually go to junior technical colleges to learn some simple operation knowledge, and then practice for a year before they can come out of the society and find a job.

In this day and age, it is quite normal for people to go out for a living at the age of sixteen or seventeen. If the time is pushed back a hundred or eighty years, they can become mercenaries at this age.

Father, there are a lot of people who are attacking our family planning laws right now, they think it's inhumane, we're turning women into reproductive machines.

There are also many experts in China who suggest abolishing this law. Now that our population is quite large, there is no need to continue wasting a lot of money on this! Little Ferdinand said after thinking for a while.

What do you think? Ferdinand said with a slight smile.

Oh, I think this is nonsense, the population is the most precious wealth, considering the size of Bulgaria, I can easily feed three or four billion people!

With this population base, the comprehensive national strength of Bulgaria in the future can surpass that of the entire European continent! Little Ferdinand said after thinking for a while.

Then let them go as farts, in fact, Bulgaria wants to become the world's hegemony in the future, relying on having children!

When our population grows to a certain level, we can turn the colony into a native land, and if necessary, continue to expand into Africa!

Quantitative changes can also lead to qualitative changes, but our foundation is too weak, otherwise how can there be anything about the British now?

As for the issue of human rights, this is just a joke, we have not forced women to bear children, and if it is considered inhumane for women to have children, then human beings would have perished long ago!

Of all the messy organizations in the world, which one has no supporters behind the scenes?

If no one supported them, these organizations would have vanished in smoke long ago. You must know that organizing people to make trouble is also very costly! Ferdinand said indifferently.
