Chapter 184, omen of stock market disaster

Seeing that the European 6 were in the wave of strike, Franz was also frightened. Those who had not experienced the 1848 Revolution could not understand this tension.

The first place to go wrong was Rome. Italian independent organizations took advantage of the strike wave to take the opportunity to engage in Rome.

What's even more bizarre is that they succeeded. When Franz heard this news, he was stunned. It is estimated that the top leaders of the Italian independent organization were also confused.

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

The reality is that nonsense. The police in Rome are all locals, and they are not satisfied with the French for a day or two. They simply slacked off and watched the uprising explode.

The French garrisons were all outside the city, and there was only one infantry battalion. The first time the uprising broke out, the French army was waiting for orders. Because the telegram line was destroyed, it was too late to wait for them to receive the order.

Don’t blame the commander for not knowing how to adapt. This is the French rule. The army must be mobilized by superiors. Middle and lower-level officers do not have the authority to send troops, and even if they suppress the rebellion, they will not do so.

Frankly speaking, the current international situation is not suitable for an uprising in Italy. The Paris Conference has just begun, and reconciling contradictions and reducing international conflicts is the common will of everyone.

Italian independent organizations are now in an uprising, and it is difficult to find supporters internationally. Even their biggest funder, the British, will not support them now.

Without external intervention, how could it be possible to win with the little strength of the Italian independent organization?

The French are not soft persimmons nowadays. Not to mention that Italy has not yet been 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 he achieved success in a confused manner, and his next fate was to be suppressed by the French.

The only function is probably to hit Napoleon IV's prestige and make the situation in France even more tense.

On March 12, a week after the Roman uprising, another riot occurred in the Rhineland region.

The protagonist this time is not only the working class, but also the capitalists participate, the main reason is to oppose immigration.

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

Capitalists have long wanted to fight back, but because of their lack of strength, they are unable to confront the Berlin government. Now the wave of strikes has become their opportunity.

Capitalists have put the government in the blame for the inability to rise in wages, publicly accusing the government of its high tax and immigration policies, making it impossible for companies to pay more labor costs.

Some capitalists even publicly promised that as long as the company stayed, the Berlin government would get out of here, and everyone's salary would increase by 50%.

Judging from the reactions of capitalists, Franz can be sure that the Berlin government has done a very good job in immigration, otherwise it would not have forced capitalists to play in person.

Regardless of success or failure, the relationship between Purdue has begun to become tense. For Austria, this is also an opportunity.

The existence of the Customs Alliance is always a threat. Franz had long wanted to abolish it, but unfortunately he had planned it several times before, but at the last moment he failed.

Now that there is one more Rhineland region, the situation will change. If the Berlin government does not remove these capitalists, after this battle, the Rhineland region will be a firm anti-Popular faction in the future.

If all these people are scratched, the problem will be very serious, which will make everyone in the country's capitalists feel at stake.

Before Franz could take action, Spain had problems again. The republicans launched an uprising in Madrid, attempting to overthrow Alfonso XII's rule. The rebellion was suppressed and the situation in Spain became tense again.

In the first half of 1876, the most commonly used words in European newspapers were "uprising", "riot", "revolution", and "suppression".

According to preliminary statistics, in just half a year, Europe suffered 36 uprisings with more than 1,000 people, and the remaining small uprisings were countless.

Not to mention outside, even the Austrian police suppressed a large empire and added two kingdoms. It was really a "big empire" and the population exceeded double digits.

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

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

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

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

No wonder it was not revealed. This is a completely farce. I guess the neighbors appeared and thought they were performing operas.

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

The nature suddenly became different. Before this, the owner of the manor was honestly paying taxes to the government. Even if he regarded himself as an emperor and a minister, everyone thought he was a stage play enthusiast.

As soon as the illegal taxation was released, it suddenly rose to the height of the party's rebellion, which attracted the attention of the Prague police. If you don't check it, you will be shocked and reported to Franz all the way.

When Franz saw the case file, he was also amused and crying. It would be fine if he closed the door and became the emperor, but why did he have to go to collect taxes if he was desperate?

Even if you are caught, you can still fool them with "performance enthusiasts". Without actual actions, the police will not define them as "rebels".

In Austria, there are barriers to "rebels" and not everyone can be regarded as one. They are obviously not qualified.

Franz is always better than riots, and Franz is still very open-minded. It is also good to create some jokes and alleviate the tension in the country.

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

The Austrians are not yet hungry. Even if they are really poor and have not had the last meal, they can still sign up for immigration.

Many colonial companies are recruiting people, and when they sign a contract, someone will take care of the meal. The standards are not high. As long as the limbs are sound, men, women, and young people will not pick on them.

There is no way, who makes the colony short of people? Even if the quality is a little poor, the colonial company can't take care of so many things.

...

In Milan City, Lao Lannuo is worried about the stock market. Affected by the strike, the stock price of Dakoer Textile Factory plummeted.

Even though the strike has ended, the stock price is still falling. There is no way, who makes them most famous?

As the source of this strike wave, Dakoer Textile Factory has become famous throughout Europe with the spread of the strike movement, and is more well-known than many small countries.

Unfortunately, they are not a good reputation. Both newspapers that tend to be bourgeois or newspapers that tend to be working class have cursed them bloodily.

They had obviously calmed the strike, but only domestic newspapers in Austria reported it, and overseas media chose to send a letter.

Lao Lannuo naturally knew the reason. There were so many people offended by Dakeer Textile Factory this time, and capitalists who suffered losses would definitely vent their anger.

No matter how the content in the newspaper is written or which class it tends to, the newspaper is still a capitalist. If the propaganda is made to compromise with Keer Textile Factory, wouldn’t it encourage the workers to strike?

These unfavorable factors directly affected the stock price of Dakeer Textile Factory. The financial statements for this quarter were still in the hands of Lao Lannuo, and he did not dare to announce them to the public.

Affected by the strike, Dakoer Textile Factory suffered losses in the past ten years. Although it did not lose much, letting the news out now will still affect market confidence.

Xiao Lannuo dissuaded: "Father, the statements for this quarter cannot be released to the public. Now the stock market is wailing. If we announce this news, the stock price of Dakeer Textile Factory will collapse.

If the stock market crashes completely, we will die. Those large consortiums have not completed their retreat yet, and now the stock market crashes will suffer heavy losses and will definitely not let us go."

There are many definitions of consortiums, usually referring to large groups controlled by financial oligarchs and consortiums of large banks, which are generally combined by several families.

In a sense, Dakoer Textile Factory is also a member of the consortium. They also have allies, but they are not named the consortium.

The consortium is not a whole as everyone imagines, but has many internal contradictions. Only when they have common interests can everyone be united in external relations.

The main reason for the powerful power of later generations is that as the cooperation deepens, everyone's interests are intertwined. With the realization that you have me and I have you, internal conflicts gradually ease.

The Dake'er family also has deep cooperation with several Lombardy families. Lao Lannuo once wanted to form a consortium. Unfortunately, they were nobles, and Lao Lannuo was just a capitalist.

For common interests, we can cooperate, and if we want others to truly accept him, we still need a ticket.

Many capitalists transform into nobles, but more people fail in transformation. The Dakeer family is one of the losers.

During the African colonial expansion movement, the stingy Lao Lanno hired a cheap Italian mercenary to save costs.

The result is self-evident. The cheaper ones are cheaper, but unfortunately they are not easy to use. After several years of hard work in Africa, they have not achieved military achievements and are almost wiped out.

Of course, there was not without gains, and business opportunities were soon discovered. I made a lot of money in the labor export business, and then I opened a cotton plantation to directly produce and sell it on my own.

Time waits for no one, money is earned, and the opportunity to enter the aristocratic class is also missed. It is difficult for outsiders to explain the gains and losses, but Lao Lannuo often regrets it.

After hesitating for a while, Lao Lannuo shook his head: "It's not that simple. We went on strike this year, and everyone knew it clearly. Countless eyes were staring at us. If the financial statements were falsified at this time, it would be easy for people to look at problems.

If the stock market crash occurs, it is only possible, and the consortium can support the market. If the financial statements are fraudulent and exposed, we will be completely ruined.

As for revenge, the worst thing is to give up part of the overseas market. Can they still make trouble in Milan?

Or do you think that several domestic consortiums have the courage to play so much in the stock market?"

After pausing, Lao Lannuo added: "Remember, what you see is not necessarily true, it is probably what others want you to see.

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

Otherwise, someone would have greeted us long ago. Maybe they were all ready and were waiting for us to give the stock market a final blow.

As for the losses caused by the stock market crash, it is only for the public to see on the surface. Afterwards, they will realize that they will make much more money than they lose."

That being said, Lao Lannuo was still uneasy. According to the current situation, Da Keer Textile Factory is likely to become a scapegoat afterwards.

Legally, stock market crashes are not their responsibility, they are not required to be responsible. It is difficult to say in public opinion. Sometimes even spitting can kill people. If the reputation is bad, business will be difficult.

There are so many similar products on the market now. Why do you want to buy the infamous "Daker Textile Factory" products?

This is not something that comes from later generations. No matter whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, you can make money as long as you have a reputation.

Nowadays, the people are still relatively simple. Many people think that the product quality of companies with good reputation is also good; the product quality of companies with poor reputation is also poor.

If it attracts resistance from the public and the products produced cannot be sold, it will be really over.
