Chapter 444： Making money is just an accident (1/2)

If Christmas Eve in 1868 allowed the Austrian New Energy and Power Company to follow the famous civilization of ”Sleep City”, then in 1869 the Austrian New Energy and Power Company established its dominant position in the industry.

With the completion of a series of patent authorizations, the Austrian New Energy Power Company standard has also become an international standard for power systems.

It is not difficult to break this standard system, as long as you are willing to throw money, you can always break it. No one knows just how much money is going to go in.

If this is a profiteering industry, consortia will probably try it. Unfortunately, the power industry is just beginning to emerge, and the urban power supply system looks delicious but difficult to profit.

No one knows the maturity of the market, but when the patented technology expires, everyone is clear.

This era has not yet entered the high-paced era, and everyone's sense of crisis is not so strong. It is simply not believed that electricity will become the mainstream of this era within two or three decades.

Take the steamship as an example, Geoffrey built it in 1796. At that time, it was also considered to be a technology that changed the era. However, more than 70 years have passed. Now, the mainstream ships in the sea are still powered by sails.

There are still many examples of this. There is a period of time between the emergence of a technology and its large-scale application. The length of this cycle directly determines the commercial value of the technology.

In order to promote the advancement of electric power technology, Franz smashed millions of SHIELD. If the cost of later promotion is calculated, the cost has already reached tens of millions of SHIELD.

You know that this is not a pure technology, but a set of industrial systems. Including upstream steel, copper smelting, rubber and other raw material industries, as well as downstream power transmission, generators, electric lamps, meters ...

It cannot be done without a large investment. This cannot be done by one or two scientists and dozens of engineers. The test is the industrial strength of a country.

This is also the reason why most of the 19th-century scientific and technological inventions were concentrated in Europe and the United States. Without an auxiliary industrial system, even if you give you a copy of the atomic bomb manufacturing technology, you can't make it.

Franz was in a good mood. The Austrian New Energy Power Company made a profit. Although it was obtained by selling technology, this is also a good start.

If nothing else, a consortium with Austrian New Energy Power as its core will appear in the near future.

Since the advent of the capitalist era cannot be stopped, let's take control of them.

Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me die!

As emperor, Franz was not short of domineering. With the power in hand + the advantage of the prophets, it is not impossible to carry out industrial layout in advance and control the empire economy in secret.

This stack of thick commercial contracts is the bottom line. So far, the Austrian New Energy Power Company has signed strategic cooperation treaties with hundreds of cities.

Not only Austrian cities, but also cities in other European countries, everyone can reach an agreement, the main reason is cooperation.

In simple terms, it is the Austrian New Energy Power Company's technology discount plus some funds and a local government partnership to establish a subsidiary, and everyone contributes to the promotion of human lighting.

Let foreign companies monopolize the power supply of their own country, everyone must be afraid, becoming a domestic company is not the same.

Many local governments are enterprises that do not directly invest, so this part of the shares can also be invested by private capital, and the specific share allocation will naturally be calculated from the capital contributions of both parties.

In the face of benefits, everyone can become good friends. No one doubts the prospects of electricity, but considering the cost, everyone tacitly delayed the construction time.

This is what we need. Austrian New Energy Power has completed its strategic layout and extended its influence to European countries.

The politicians got a contract that satisfied the people. It doesn't matter when it will be realized in the future. They have already got a copy of their achievements.

Investors invest in the future, and now they are only signing commercial contracts and setting up a small amount of money to establish a shell company. When the future is profitable, it is time to really pay for it.

Affected by this series of contracts, the gas company's stock has fallen a lot. Ordinary people do not know how high the cost of electricity is now, many people take it for granted that gas will soon be replaced by electric lights.

This judgment can not be miscalculated. The price of gas lamp lighting is also not low, but it is cheaper than the electricity bill before popularization. Once the power system is complete, lighting electricity every month will have a cost advantage.

Ordinary households only have a few light bulbs, usually only one, only a few kilowatt-hours a month, and a few shillings.

Expensive is mainly on power supply equipment, resulting in high account opening costs. At least the cost of light also requires dozens of SHIELDs, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it, becoming the biggest obstacle to the popularization of electricity.

This is still the case with a high installation rate. If the area installation rate is low, this cost may be as high as thousands of SHIELD.

After all, a family must also pull a line to use electricity. Dozens of household appliances still only need one line. The more accounts opened, the lower the amortization per capita.

Anyway, as long as these contracts become a reality, the Austrian New Energy Power Company will get a long-term meal ticket.

Even if the profitability of these subsidiaries is not bad, simply providing them with technical services and selling supporting power equipment will be enough for the Austrian New Energy Power Company to be full.

Even if nothing is done, salted fish will be one of the top 500 companies in the world until the 21st century. Fortunately, no one thinks so much in this era, otherwise these businesses are not so easy to get.

It should not be said that it was taken, it seems that the other party delivered it to the door. The Austrian New Energy Power Company did not go out to run the business, and the customers came on their own initiative.

The idea of ​​salted fish must be bad. How can an aggressive company become a great company?

”Tell Mark Oliver to keep up the pace and run as many horses as possible. With no giants involved, pull in more cities.

In addition to packaging the company, Austrian New Energy Power is not just an ordinary company, but a company with great ideals.

Our goal is to make this world bright and make money is just an accident.

If some partners have doubts, they can have a large stake in the subsidiary. In short, it is necessary to expand as soon as possible, complete the European strategic layout as soon as possible, and then reach out to the world. ”

It is impossible to monopolize the power supply. What can be done now is to rely on the first-hand advantage to enclose the city.

As for the rural business that loses money, that is a matter for the government. It is temporarily not in the plan of the Austrian New Energy Power Company, and it may be uncertain in the future.

In this kind of public infrastructure and people's livelihood project, in the future, governments of all countries will limit profits, otherwise spit stars can kill people.
