Chapter 1346 1347: Financing
The development of the Zanskart Empire has exceeded Linda's expectations. Many things have already appeared, but they cannot be mass-produced, and they have not been applied to life.
Just because they can't be applied to life, these things have advanced magic technology, but they are controlled by a group of people with backward thinking.
"Good Madam's company is now mainly engaged in gas stoves and kitchen and bathroom appliances. Can such things really make money?"
Viscount Peart asked suspiciously.
Linda smiled and nodded.
"When you occupy a certain percentage of the market share, you will understand that even the simplest water can make money."
Speaking of this, Linda was stunned. She had also been to Blue Star to study, and had seen Blue Star's economic market. She remembered that Blue Star's mineral water could be sold for money.
Can she do the same, then she shook her head.
The current Zanskart Empire is not suitable for playing like this, otherwise she will definitely be attacked by the crowd.
"I really know how to do business more and more."
After Linda laughed at herself, she heard Viscount Peart's question.
"About the heavy armor, are you sure, do you need my help?"
Linda was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I already have a plan, and my biggest problem now is that I need a prototype, so as to save me the time of manufacturing."
Viscount Peart smiled mysteriously.
"I knew you would ask that question. I'm already ready, just waiting for you to speak."
Linda just expressed her thanks without asking where the prototype came from.
The two smiled tacitly.
Linda picked up the teacup, took a sip and asked, "How is the business market in the empire now?"
"Very few, but compared to the past, there is an increasing trend. A large number of nobles have adapted to the changing situation. There are very few people like you who can react quickly and find business opportunities from it."
"However, it is not completely absent. In the Wood area, a small noble united local small nobles and wealthy merchants, and in the surrounding area, a textile association was established in partnership. They tried to improve the textile machine. I believe that the textile industry in this area will soon become a pillar industry."
"This is indeed good news..." Linda nodded repeatedly.
But I was estimating in my heart that this is not enough, we must make the textile industry and the coal industry the pillar industries.
The development of society will naturally give birth to some things. With the gradual promotion of technology, colleges around the world continue to spread knowledge to the public, and the upper-level public is constantly exposed to the latest machinery and equipment. With enough expected income, these smart people with active thinking will take the initiative to contact, and even want to master the fields involved in these new machines. In this process, relatively wealthy businessmen and small nobles will be the biggest driving force.
They will grab the earliest technology and policy dividends, and under the trend of interests, they will slowly become insatiable.
As time goes by, it will definitely touch the interests of the landed aristocracy, just as the emergence of industry will inevitably give birth to new small aristocrats who use machine factories instead of land as their capital, and the old raw material production areas representing the big aristocrats will inevitably be affected by the small aristocratic industrial groups. In the long run, the small nobles will inevitably create a gap with the big nobles.
All of these are a complete social ecological chain, even if no one promotes them, they will happen naturally.
What Linda has to do is to find out the key points of these chains in advance, and then push them, so that everything will suddenly speed up.
The same is true for the coal industry. It is the royal family that controls technology and factories. The royal family may compromise with the nobles in order to balance. At the beginning, human greed is a bottomless pit. The nobles will test the bottom line of the royal family bit by bit, which will inevitably lead to conflicts in the future. Leave the fuse.
In the end, chaotic disputes broke out between the royal family and nobles and nobles.
At this stage, the real technology is actually still in the hands of the officials, in the hands of the Royal Society of Science and Technology, the Association of Magicians, the Institute of Manufacturing and various design bureaus.
Emperor Thomas the Great never restricted the dissemination of non-military and non-confidential technology and knowledge. Civilian technology was also sold publicly, and large-scale literacy was also started in various colleges and night schools.
All this seems to be open, but in fact it is still firmly in the hands of the nobles. Even wealthy businessmen need to pass through the status of minor nobles to get in touch.
Non-governmental enterprises like Mrs. Hao developed on this basis.
Ordinary people still work mainly as part-time workers, and their knowledge and wealth do not allow them to change the status quo.
"It's not that my vision is so cutting-edge, it's just that I have a little more experience in the Melox Empire."
What Linda said was short of saying by name that the Melox Empire was better developed than the Zanskart Empire in this respect.
"These things must be encouraged, not only encouraged, but also publicized, instead of being strictly controlled by the upper class! In that case, the technology will never be spread, large-scale, and universal." Linda's hoarse voice carried A hint of sarcasm.
"That power is only superficial, it only belongs to some people, not real power. Support the spontaneous research and improvement of technology such as magic and machinery, as long as it complies with the law, it must be supported and rewarded."
The smile on Viscount Peart's face was very embarrassing. If he didn't know that Linda spoke like this, he would have suspected that the other party was mocking the entire imperial nobles.
After all, Linda herself is a vested interest in the nobles.
Linda changed the subject and said, "Since it can't be promoted, then we will conduct a financing merger."
"Financing?" Viscount Peart heard a new term again. The issue of stocks in a short period of time has not been resolved, and now there are new words. This should be another incredible new idea.
"That's right. In a narrow sense, financing is the behavior and process of a company's fundraising. In a broad sense, financing is also called finance, which means the intermediation of monetary funds. The act of releasing funds."
"Financing refers to the monetary means adopted to pay for the purchase of goods in excess of cash, or the monetary means adopted to raise funds for the acquisition of assets."
Viscount Peart thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and said: "You want to borrow money from a small noble who manages the mining rights. The real purpose is to finance the mining rights and mine development."
Linda nodded. She just likes to communicate with people like Viscount Peart.
"That's right! With the large-scale popularization of cars, the demand for kerosene will increase. Naturally, coal in various places will also usher in a second spring. In order to prevent coal from being stuck, we must plan ahead."
"I see!"
