Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 3: Trivial

Princess Clmentine catches Ferdinand. He is given a severe lecture and is firm drags to a few boring aristocratic banquets before she takes over the time and lets him go.

It was not without its rewards, at least reaping one talent from his mother. Franz Kafka, that does seem familiar, has the same name as an Austrian Jewish novelist.

It was not always on one person, though, as Franz Kafka here, a Hungarian in his forties, was always taking care of the estate for Princess Clmentine, and he did very well.

After Ferdinand and he talk in-depth, he gave initial approval to his ability and then lent it from Princess Clmentine in a gentle way.

He is ready to allow him to get it over to the trial. If he performs well, he will have the person who is in charge of the supermarkets.

In the 19th century, the market is not that mature, as the family business is now the norm. There is still less demand for talent, leaving the ugly skills there.

In 1881, there were only 13,000 students in Austria, which seems to be a lot at first. If he count closely, he will find that there are only 2,000 to 3,000 students who can graduate every year, and they are spread out in various majors. After taking on specific management majors, there are only a few hundred or eighty people.

In addition, apart from those who are aristocrats and businessmen themselves, there are only a few people who really need to find a job.

At that time, university graduates are really the elite. Each ministry of the government and major consortia are eager to hire them. Simply, before they graduate, they are already sure about where to go.

Ferdinand is having to put out the idea of going to campus to recruit people to nurture them frankly.

The first thing that Franz Kafka has to do for Ferdinand is to recruit people. But things are not going well.

Later that day, Franz ran over and gave Ferdinand the aristocratic curtsy, "Your Highness: Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Duke of Saxony, Franz Kafka wishes to greet you."

"Well, you can choose to address me as your highness or duke. It's just too awkward to call me by my entire title. What is it that you came to see me about today, Franz?" Ferdinand said casually.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. But I can't finish what you have given me on schedule." Franz Kafka said with some trouble.

"What? How can you not finish it if you recruit more than a thousand people only?" Ferdinand asked with a certain doubt.

The rating of Franz in his heart is already down a few points. He gave him half a month to recruit people, and now after less than half the time, he comes and says he has trouble. He does not know how to solve it!

"Your Highness, according to your request, I'm afraid it is beyond reach. So far, only three hundred and eighty-two people came in. And since last morning, only a few people are already sign up. I'm afraid there aren't that many people in the Vienna area with highly academic talents still looking for work!" Franz Kafka explained it.

And after that, Franz brought up to Ferdinand, "Your Highness. If you look at the rest, is it possible to lower some of the standards. That make you can also cut some of the salaries. You will save money and it will not affect the business of the supermarket!"

The lowest school for Ferdinand to recruit people are junior school graduates. Since the salary is not very high, the first batch of one hundred people is quickly done. It makes him ignore that in this era, junior school graduates, in fact, a highly academic talent.

At this time, you can easily find a good job after graduating from junior school. The amount of gold is even higher than those of 985 and 211 graduates in later years.

After hearing the reasons by Franz, the anger Ferdinand has already gone. This one is the result of his own careless.

He secretly wants to remind himself to remember the lesson of this time. He can not think beyond this era. It is a small joke. It is not good enough to fall into the grave.

It is the strong side of Ferdinand to learn from his mistakes. Since the advice of Franz has a good point, he has no reason to reject it at all.

"Mr. Franz, your advice is very good. I will leave the rest to you. Take it as you wish with courage!" Ferdinand's tone is much more polite this time.

The supermarket managers are there, but the financial staff is still very messy. There are no computers in this era. All rely on manual work.

The task was so much that each supermarket must have a credible finance staff. Ferdinand could hardly find that many people for a while. Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)

When he thinks about it, it's painful to keep Volvo open worldwide, but there is still a long way to go!

However, when he think about the supermarket's profits, Ferdinand's once again in the spirit. With the first Volvo supermarket, the first month of business makes a profit. The other four are still open for a short time, but the income is also good.

"It's true that the best way to make money in business is to create a monopoly!" Ferdinand thought to himself.

However, he also knew that such good times it is likely to be at most six months. When others came on board, profits will surely come down.

After more than two months of constant effort, the supermarket business is now on the right track. The daily management had already left to Franz.

Of course, they did not forget to promote two people from the earliest staff as assistants to Franz. How is it possible not to build up a reserve of talent early, as the supermarket is sure to keep expanding!

While the supermarket thing came to an end, Ferdinand never took a break. The supermarket's profits are good, but with the things he has to do later, it is a mere drop in the bucket.

When he thinks about Bulgaria, Ferdinand feels that he is still not doing enough! After all, he is a traverser. Ferdinand knows the scene. How can he expect to enjoy a monthly income of more than 10,000 pounds!

Of course, it would have been very grateful to have more than 10,000 pounds a month if it was before the traverse.

It's all different now. He is at least a prince, a Knyaz, and the future Tsar of Bulgaria. How can his eyes become narrow!

Ferdinand is very envious of all those traversers who came before him. As long as they make some inventions, they will have tens of millions of dollars of assets. It was his turn can only do some small business.

Although the Kohry family also has tens of millions of pounds of assets, it is all nominal. It is unlikely that a large area of territory and castles are going into cash. Of course, unless he do not intend to remain in the aristocratic circle.

In fact, the Kohry family has an annual income of just over one million pounds from various investments plus land revenue. After covering their expenses, they can still balance around two to three hundred thousand pounds per year. It is considered good in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Ferdinand is unable to create inventions. He knows about pencils with an eraser. But, Hyman already had a patent in 1867, so he has nothing to do.

The silk socks are bullshit. Although the chemical level should be able to make them, the price is not much lower than gold. It's another story if he can wear them!

It is not possible to go this way. Ferdinand continues to pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. It is not bad such as food processing plants.

Although the profit is not high, the mosquito still has meat! The grain is available on his family's land. After processing it, he can sell it directly in the supermarket. He can form a small industrial chain and also increase his low-risk ability.
