Welcome to 19th-century Europe, where strength reigns supreme

After Hamlin was sent away, the next day newspapers began to publicize the matter overwhelmingly. This was equivalent to giving a life-saving straw to those companies that were about to go bankrupt or had a large amount of industrial products hoarded, and those financiers also coveted it. The United States is a huge market, and smart people have begun to carry out economic activities in the United States.

In order to develop industry, the Prussian Industrial Reconstruction Agency has slightly lowered the threshold for starting a business and building a factory. Prussia has also slightly liberalized the banking industry. The principal required to open a private bank has been slightly lowered, and access to The threshold for licenses has also been lowered so that people can open more factories, pay taxes, create more industrial products, and improve the country's manufacturing level.

But of course the disadvantages of this are also obvious. If the threshold is low, there will always be some people who fish in troubled waters, always trying to make a profit and run away. The pollution problem caused by industrial development will also become more serious. Finally, there is the credit problem. Not all banks can It is stable. Private banks are very risky. Although the interest rates are also high, state-owned banks are not absolutely safe. If a financial crisis occurs, state-owned enterprises may also be unable to uncover the blame.

But putting those issues aside, the most important thing is whether the domestic market can withstand the impact of American companies. Tina’s decisions are a bet that Prussia’s industrial products are better than those of the United States. The United States and Prussia have industrialized at about the same time. In terms of production value, Prussia is indeed ahead, so Tina dares to play this trick with the United States.

She hopes to attract American companies to Prussia. With American companies as competitors, local companies will also feel a sense of crisis and start to innovate. This will also force old companies that are content with the status quo to stop thinking about making money and still think about it. Find a way not to let others compare you, otherwise you will lose face and standard.

Is there any objection? Of course, they are still the old guard. Of course, their right to speak now can be said to be very weak, and are they poor? Shit, they have enough wealth to build another Sanssouci Palace. If they don’t want to cause trouble, they are just plain lazy. They are the typical example of occupying the toilet and not taking a shit. They have a lot of money but don’t spend it. I don’t know why. This money Cover it up more than anyone else.

In order to pry open their mouths, Tina took a lot of trouble to pull out a few hairs from these iron roosters, but the effect may not be very good. After all, those people in their [-]s and [-]s are not willing to accept new things. , unless the fire really burns to the eyebrows, it should still be useless.

As for why they don’t compete with Britain and France, of course it’s because they can’t compete. Britain and France are too far ahead in terms of output and quality. In order to cope with the British industrial invasion, although Tina agreed to trade, she never allowed British companies to As Prussia expands its power, the British now don't have much interest in the Prussian market, so Prussia is holding on.

What about the United States? They are very eager for a market. Their ancestors above can't play it, and those below are too poor and have nothing. Although Prussia is a little better than them, it's not impossible to pursue it, right?

Promoting the involution of various industries and forcing them to progress is not a very clever operation. Moreover, if the progress of enterprises under the market economy cannot bring economic benefits, they will soon be merged by other capitals, and the industrial operation of the entire country will be destroyed. Falling into a slump.

Crazy involution can also be said to be devastating to those small and medium-sized enterprises. They themselves have just started and do not have strong capital at all. They cannot keep up with the big guys, but they are caught in the middle by domestic business giants on both sides. Companies that survive this high-pressure environment are strong enough.

But if you want to compete, you must first know the details of the other party. Tina asked Economic Minister List to calculate the industrial output value and per capita GDP of the United States last year.

The results obtained are similar to what we imagined. In the process of industrialization in the United States, class transformation is very active. Class leaps can be achieved in many aspects such as changes in the stock market and the operation of the market economy.

And cutting this per capita GDP by two-thirds is almost the basic income of the American people. For a normal country, the funds that can be obtained through various means only account for one-third of the total GDP.

Of course, this gdp is definitely inaccurate and is just a rough idea. This thing is very mysterious. In theory, as long as the value generated by the people is considered gdp, then there is actually a lot of room for maneuver. If you want to make up the gdp, the state can lend money. , as long as the money is spent, the GDP will naturally increase, and what kind of impact this will have is not within the scope of the country's consideration.

Isn’t it good that the data looks good anyway?

The next day, Liszt came to Tina's office with a thick book of information.

"Prime Minister, I have compiled the current situation of large enterprises in the United States in the past ten years. Based on my understanding of the economy, these enterprises have already become large monopoly capitalists. It may not be feasible if we use our large enterprises to compete with them."

On this world line, the American monopoly group had already risen before 1850, and now it has begun to take shape.

Liszt placed the thick book on Tina's desk.

"Liszt, this book is not meant for me to read, right? Where is my copy?"

"You are not interested in their past and present lives?"

"Why should I be interested in their past and present lives? I want to see their industry. I have no interest in how and why they rose. This thing is fine for fooling those congressmen, but it is too inappropriate for me. ."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Lister took out two more pieces of paper from behind, which contained the current status of large companies in the United States.

So the summary of such thick information only takes two pages.

"The United States is really the purest capitalist country..." After seeing these data, even Tina couldn't help but sigh. This is really outrageous. Some American companies have actually controlled [-]% of the United States. Although this is not [-]% controlled by a certain company, it is amazing enough.

In comparison, Prussian state-owned enterprises, such as Rheinmetall, an important metal industry, only account for about [-]% of the market. The scale is certainly large, but it is not that exaggerated. Moreover, it is still a state-owned enterprise.

Of course, although this can provide an active entrepreneurial environment, if you really want these large companies to fight against real monopolies, the chances of winning are slim.

It's like a sumo wrestling match between a [-]-pound man and a [-]-pound fat man. You can't say whether you have a chance of winning. You can only say that you're bored and give in.

And Tina is not responsible for what happens next, because she will definitely not be able to do the rest with her influence.

It can only be done by August, which is to consolidate state-owned enterprises and then carry out a certain degree of privatization.
