Chapter 635 Everyone benefits
In the Black Forest, many small nobles have been living pastoral, peaceful days for hundreds of years.
However, some nobles opened factories with the Duke of Wessen, and gold coins emerged from the springs like water. Some people who went to work in Wessenburg City actually earned more than the Lord Knight, which made people feel very unbalanced. .
Sir Fritch's heart was very unbalanced.
There is a mercenary leader named Orr in his territory. Orr's father is also the groom of Fritch's father, and the two have known each other since childhood.
After Orr's father died of illness, Orr followed others to work as a mercenary, and later became the leader of the mercenary.
Later, it would be even worse.
More than ten years ago, Orr caught up with the old Earl Wesson. Later, he followed little Wesson, transformed into a devil and joined the Wesson Army. Now he has become one of the deputy ministers of the Postal Department of the Rhine League.
Last year he went home for the Winter Spirits Festival. Oh dear, there were twenty vans. Only the Grand Duke of Mainz had such a pomp.
Al gave Fritch's son a motorcycle, and the silly boy was overjoyed.
Fritch was very depressed, not because of Orr's title. After all, it was the life and loyalty that were exchanged for it, and why was that slug that always followed him so rich?
It's not that he hasn't thought about opening a factory, but he has no capital, and the territory has inconvenient transportation. Investors from the Principality of Wesson give priority to territories near railways and waterways, and no one will come to the mountains.
Recently, the serfs' self-redemption documents have come out, but all the serfs in the territory are poor, even in poor health, otherwise they would have become mercenaries long ago.
However, there is a glimmer of hope now. A boss from the Principality of Wesson has written a letter saying that he plans to invest here.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the doorbell rang and the housekeeper brought a well-dressed young gentleman.
"Are you... Lutpold?"
Fritch recognized the visitor, and he recognized his father. Father and son looked very much alike.
Lutpold politely replied: "Good morning, Sir Fritch, I'm glad to see you looking as good as before."
Fritch pointed to the sofa and asked him to sit down. He remembered something and asked, "I heard that your leg was injured in Constantbul?"
Lutpold lifted up a little of his trouser leg and said: "Yes, my leg is a prosthetic leg."
Fritch exclaimed: "It's actually like this!"
He asked again: "Are you your own boss now, or are you a manager for your boss?"
When they started talking about business, Lutpold became serious.
He said: "I opened a chamber of commerce myself."
Fritch asked curiously: "What are you selling?"
Lütpold replied: "I sell solutions that allow you to make money."
Fletcher frowned slightly. Over the years, newspapers have revealed many scams, and many scammers started talking about these fake things.
Ruitpold opened the briefcase he brought without haste, took out a few brochures and said: "I am familiar with the situation in your territory, so based on local resources, I contacted the factory owners who were interested in setting up factories here. ”
Fritch took the brochure and looked at it, thinking that he was a so-called salesman.
These are brochures for factories and small farms.
It is mainly a wood processing factory. There are many trees here but transportation is not convenient, so it mainly produces modular furniture that has become popular recently.
The parts of these furniture are not assembled immediately after they are produced. Instead, they are packaged with instructions, screws, and screwdrivers, and the customers assemble them themselves after buying them back.
In this way, a truck can carry a lot of furniture, and it can be loaded fully without wasting space, thus reducing transportation costs.
At the same time, the sawdust from processed wood can also be used to produce artificial boards, which can be used to make furniture partitions, or even be used entirely to make cheap furniture, which is also excellent.
There are some woods in the forest that are not suitable for furniture. This is not a problem. There are also mushroom cultivation and processing plants.
MSG is far away, and now many people use various mushroom powders as food additives to increase flavor.
If Fritch is willing, he can also open a chicken farm. Not only will he sell chickens, but the chicken manure can also be used to grow mushrooms.
There is also an investment budget in the brochure. You can start with a smaller scale and slowly expand it after making money.
Fritch looked at it very seriously, and finally said to Ruitpold: "That's very good, but I have no money."
The little money he had was enough to maintain decent daily expenses, but it was not enough to invest in building a factory.
Here comes the important point, Lutpold said: "You only need to collect the ransom of the serfs in the territory, and this money is enough."
Fritch shook his head and said with a smile: "It's better to hope that Archduke Wesson is in a good mood and give me money than to hope that they will be rich."
Lutpold said seriously: "If you are willing, I can help them pay the ransom." Fritch frowned again and asked: "Are you so kind?"
There were many serfs in his territory, and that was a lot of money, so there was no reason to pay for it in vain.
Lutpold took out several documents from his bag and explained to him: "This is the cooperation agreement signed by Mrs. Elaine and I."
Fritch took the agreement and studied it carefully.
Mrs. Ailian is his neighbor, and her background is very tough. No one dares to fool her.
Lutpold said: "I paid Mrs. Elaine the ransom of the serfs on her territory. This money will be used as investment capital for the new cattle farm and milk powder factory."
Fritch nodded.
Luitpold continued: "The freed serfs signed a loan agreement with me and worked for my Chamber of Commerce."
"I will send the young ones among them to technical schools to learn trades, and we will know what they can do in ten days."
"After Mrs. Elaine's cattle farm and milk powder factory are built, she will hire workers from me."
"If you set up a furniture factory, I will sign a labor contract with the furniture factory, and I will arrange for my people who have learned carpentry to work in the furniture factory."
"When the time comes, the wages from the furniture factory will be transferred directly to me, and I will pay them to the workers."
"If there is a shortage of manpower for the expansion of the furniture factory, I have other people who have studied carpentry, and they can be sent over immediately, and they will be able to work as soon as they arrive."
"Of course, not everyone learns the craft of carpentry. There are also people who learn to raise chickens, cattle, drive tractors, etc. If you need anything, just come to me and I will send people there."
Fritch thought for a long time, nodded and said: "I understand, you are just a mercenary leader, but you are not looking for people to fight, but to work in factories."
Lütpold replied: "That's true."
Fritch said: "I'll think about it again. Please stay as a guest and I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."
Half a month later, Ruitpold returned to Weisenburg Castle. The briefcases in his hands changed from one to four, and he also brought with him four housekeepers from the nobles of the Principality of Mainz, such as Sir Fritch and Mrs. Elaine. .
He took people to each factory, and the three parties signed investment and factory construction contracts and labor agreements.
Then Ruitpold went to Wesson Bank with a thick set of contracts, agreements, serf loan redemption contracts and other documents. He didn't have that much money, so he used these cooperation documents as evidence to get a loan as starting capital.
He didn't say anything about it, but he couldn't bear it when the butlers were drinking and bragging.
In the city of Weissenburg, the cold virus spreads not as fast as the money-making method.
When many people think about it, this business can be done.
A new factory cannot do without new machinery.
Wesson Heavy Machinery Factory noticed a sudden surge in orders for machinery and equipment. Factory director Schmidt figured out the reason, so he contacted associates of the "Nine-Headed Siren" faction, which has considerable influence in both political and business circles in the Principality of Wesson. After getting With the acquiescence of his teacher, Wesson Governor Omet, he began to contact the media to add fuel to the fire.
Schmidt's wife Vanessa was Frederick's administrative secretary and the niece of Giovanni, the president of Wesson Bank.
With Vanessa as the matchmaker, Giovanni proposed a bill to loosen loan restrictions on behalf of Wesson Bank at the Supreme Council of Ministers. The bill was quickly passed with the support of Ogilvy and other "Nine-Headed Sirens" who were born in Wesson University. , Psyche did not object.
Frederick's money just flowed into the accounts of those labor dispatch companies.
Everyone seems to be winning in this case.
The serfs gained a little freedom. Although they changed from being bound to work in the fields to working in factories to pay off their debts, their living standards were obviously improved in a short period of time.
Factory owners in the Principality of Wesson have been given the opportunity to expand overseas, and their profits will be greatly increased in the foreseeable future.
Lords from various places received a sum of money to invest in building factories. Many people could get considerable dividends without doing anything. They simply handed over the management of the factories to professional managers and went to the cities to become rich themselves.
The boss of the labor dispatch company even sits at home and gets money from the sky.
A large number of factories such as Wesson Heavy Machinery Factory in Wesson received a large number of orders, which in turn promoted the development of the entire industrial chain. This year's tax data will definitely be better than last year.
Wesson Bank lent a large sum of money, a large part of which was special funds to purchase machinery and equipment, and it was not afraid that it would not be recovered.
Others were suddenly hit by this piece of pie.
Because those factories were out of town, the factory owners entrusted the auditing business to Wesson Accounting Firm. The contracts that came flying in like a flake confused the person in charge, Deloitte, for a long time.
"So..." Frederick organized his words after listening to Psyche's story, "In this serf self-redemption movement, I am the one who spent the most money?"
Psyche nodded.
Frederick had a headache on his forehead.
