European Financial Emperor

224 Unexpected Civil War (1)

To compete against Rosbath of the Ronald Company, competitors from Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic began to cut themselves off.

In order to not only lower the price of soap, but also to improve the quality of the product, he took scholars from all directions and shoved them into the factory.

However, as if ridiculing them, Rosbath outstripped them by launching a new product.

Rose Bath has launched a soap with a wide range of scents, ranging from honey, fruit, and even milk, and a functional water soap that lathers much better than regular soaps and moisturizes the skin.

The product name ‘Water Rose’ was a hit at the same time as it was released.

However, with the release of Water Rose, the Ronald Company was suspected of using cyanide, which is harmful to the body.

“… … Mix cyanide? What about soap?”

“Yes, it is. There is a rumor going around that we mix cyanide in our rose bath.”

“Hmm.”

“What would you like to do?”

The Ronald Company was now preparing to take over Europe and bring in mercenaries to induce a civil war.

But, strangely enough, I was a little embarrassed to see such tackles coming from Eastern Europe.

But they thought there was nothing to panic.

“What? Give the newspapers the gold box first. Newspapers say that our soap contains many ingredients that are good for the skin. He even published a correction article saying that cyanide was not detected at all. With him, we, Ronald, advertise that we wash livestock with soap from someone else’s company.”

“Are you talking about livestock?”

“If a dog or pig is too dirty, they say they clean it with someone else’s soap. And our products are getting more and more diverse and expanding the line, raising the price.”

“If you raise the price, won’t the product not sell?”

“It’s just getting back to the price we were originally aiming for. And the goal is to split human soap and livestock soap, it doesn’t matter what our sales are.”

In fact, the current financial situation of the Ronald Company was almost in a state of chaos.

This is because water soap, which can be said to be a high-end product, is currently provided at almost cost.

However, from now on, if a new product was launched by changing the additives and adding fragrance, the price would have been raised.

“Now, change the gold and return it.”

“all right.”

The gold of the Ronald Company was put into the newspapers in the countryside as well as in the prestigious newspapers in Europe.

Newspapers had no choice but to turn their eyes to bringing gold as it is, not paper money.

‘The Ronald Company’s products contain 16 ingredients that regenerate your skin.’

Newspapers advertised that the Ronald Company’s product was almost like a drug.

In this era, there were no laws to punish exaggerated advertisements or rumors, so there was no regulatory framework for generating rumors in Europe.

In such a non-regulatory phase, the Ronald Company expressed its products as the unique pride of women.

In the meantime, rumors about cyanide were dismissed in one word.

‘Our Ronald Company is accredited by the Easterfield Chemical Laboratory. Cyanide is nonsense. If you want to know more, go to the Kingdom of Easterfield.’

The present Easterfield Kingdom is truly a place where the world’s best technology is concentrated, and England under the world was also developing the country by borrowing technology from Easterfield.

So, the reliability was irrelevant.

Shortly after the mood was reversed with a newspaper article, the Ronald Company started posting advertisements attacking other companies’ products from now on.

It started to instill in consumers the perception that other company’s products are soaps for washing pigs.

Meanwhile, the Ronald Company was a godsend.

That was the launch of shampoo and lotion.

***

The landscape of the market where Ronald Company’s new products were released was nothing more or less than a one-man show.

All products lost their influence in the market and began to fall.

The Ronald Company has launched shampoos with different scents, as well as lotions for the face and body.

For Europeans whose faces are chapped and chapped in the cold winter, lotion was like rain in a drought.

Ronald’s ‘Rose Oil’ and ‘Rose Shampoo’ were hits.

The common people now only used Ronald products, and did not use the scentless ones for washing.

It had the image of being used to wash animals or to polish their hides after slaughter.

The Ronald Company made products for the upper class while making products targeting the common people.

“… … Ronald Gold Series?”

“It is made with only natural ingredients and is said to soften the hair. The skin turns white like a child, and along with lotions, skin care products are applied, which are said to prevent wrinkles.”

“Damn it! What is that, does it make sense?!”

“It has already been accredited by the Royal Institute of Easterfield. They said that they even had a certificate based on the data they got from experimenting with humans.”

The process of obtaining certification from the Royal Easterfield Research Institute is very difficult, and the examination itself was impossible unless it was a fairly innovative product.

However, to pass it quickly and release the gold line, it was a daunting task for competitors.

“Right now, the upper classes in Austria and the Netherlands all use the Gold Line. The same goes for the UK and Spain. Especially in France, a little bit more is being sold.”

“… … Damn it!”

“In Italy, even ordinary people think it is a necessity.”

Getting certified by Easterfield was the biggest problem.

Of course, in Easterfield’s home country, there are many products that are much better than those of the Ronald Company.

However, European governments imposed tariffs instead of bringing soap and daily necessities, making it impossible to use them locally.

However, having been certified in such an Easterfield, competition itself is now at a point where it is impossible.

“Shit! I have to make contact with the Russian government.”

“Russian government?”

“I will burn their factories down!”

“… … Huh! Then there could be war, right?”

“Huhu, war? Could it be?”

A few days later, representatives of oil companies from five Eastern European countries, including Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic, gathered.

They allege that the Ronald Company of Russia is illegal in selling soap-related products.

Russian industry officials looked puzzled.

“No, that’s why you set the factory on fire. That is illegal.”

“It’s illegal, it’s Nabal, and that’s because they did it first?!”

“Competition is legal. You cannot call it a threat.”

“… … People who can’t speak No, are you doing this after making an agreement with our country?”

“No, it is… … .”

“What are you going to do?”

The owners of the maintenance company were very proud.

They started arguing that it was illegal for a competitor to be eliminated because of their lack of competence. Nevertheless, Russia nodded as if it had nothing to do with it.

“Yeah, it’s a little bit like this between countries that have agreements.”

“Yes?”

“But don’t be afraid. Eliminating the company will also harm our Russian kingdom. If that happens, are you aware that we will have no choice but to meet with those governments?”

“Sure. We all know it’s okay.”

This made it legal for companies inside Russia to burn.

***

Early spring of 1845.

21 warehouses and factories of the Ronald Company in the Russian Kingdom were burned.

Despite the insurance companies paying for this, the Ronald Company suffered a huge loss of 100,000 Central.

The Russian government seemed to avoid investigations into the case, and even ordered an expeditious closure of the case.

“… … Agreements with neighboring countries?”

“After meeting with government officials, it seems that they have signed a non-aggression pact.”

“Um, are you making an agreement without us knowing?”

While investigating the cause of the fire, Deaveron Blackburn learned the truth about the absurdity of the Russian government.

He thought for a moment.

“Wait, what’s in the agreement?”

“I don’t know yet.”

“No, I was just guessing.”

“Inviolable, I don’t think that’s what it is.”

He smiled softly.

“Hey, can you look at these bastards? What non-aggression pacts are those without soldiers?”

“iced coffee… … !”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

Under international law, war crimes penalties were to be imposed on countries that started war and caused casualties.

They could not have an army, and the police force was also limited in armament.

It was the basis of international law to eliminate the basis for having an army at all.

For this purpose, peacekeepers were created, and provocations of war were no longer possible.

“Because even mercenaries were not enough, it seems that they were persuading neighboring countries to openly establish an army?”

“How about now?”

“I must inform the lord of this first.”

He picked up the phone and routed it to Easterfield.

Since overseas calls are not yet possible through direct dialing, there must be a forwarder in the middle.

-Where should I connect?

“Emergency number 777.”

-All right. Please wait a moment!

Emergency numbers that lead directly to the Royal Palace are unknown to anyone other than the Guard Captain and the Intelligence Director.

After a while, Lee Hwan answered the phone.

– Your Highness answered the phone.

“Tell me something great is going on in Russia right now.”

-all right.

The current international calling method was to connect by passing the words spoken in the middle and communicate through that connection.

– You ask what’s going on.

“Tell them that Russia is trying to form an army in alliance with neighboring countries.”

-All right.

The operator delivered the news to Lee Hwan after several exchanges and transfers.

And about a few minutes later, Lee Hwan’s answer arrived.

-Do as you will. Take action, report later.

“Um, did you say that?”

-Yes, it is.

“I see. Tell the lord that he will take care of it, and that he will preserve the prison.”

-All right. After these words, His Majesty said that there is no need to wait for a reply.

“I see. Then I will quit.”

DeVeron hung up the phone and went straight to Malacca.

Malacca Coaster laughed outrageously upon hearing about Deaveron Blackburn.

“Hey, can you see these bastards?”

“Chief, I think the time has come for us to move properly.”

“What are you going to do?”

“How many mercenaries have we recruited?”

“About thirty thousand?”

“Let’s loosen up the money and raise the size of the army to 50,000 and start looting.”

“… … plunder?”

“It’s just provoking war.”

“Ohh?!”
