Chapter 379 Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua
Ladislaus found many investors in the Austrian real estate market in Treviso and Verona, and he soon ordered the diplomatic service to assist these investors in protecting their assets in Venice.
It is impossible for the ruler of Venice Island to disrespect the opinions from Austria, so these businessmen who invest in real estate in Vienna naturally do not have to worry about their property being confiscated by Gorritius and Aramis.
Although Ladislaus was extremely confident in the real estate market, in fact, during this period, the "bid, buy, and list" transaction method he conceived was very unpopular. Businessmen generally still preferred private transactions with "thick
Of course officials also like these traditional methods of comparison.
But of course this transaction method greatly harmed the interests of Austria and Ladislaus.
Based on Director Jones's report, Ladislaus had already exiled several officials of the newly established Bureau of Land and Resources to the Black Continent or on slave ships. This made Machiavelli, who is currently also the director of the Bureau of Land and Resources, quite disgraced.
However, under the strict laws and the special conditions of Ladislaus, the enthusiasm of businessmen for investment has also been greatly hindered.
They were unwilling to accept this transaction method that could ensure the maximization of land prices and spontaneously boycotted the transaction.
Land prices in Austria have been hovering at low levels for a long time, and there have been many failed bids at land auctions.
Due to the dismal performance, Machiavelli even began to think of ways to sell land among his political allies. Ladislaus was really furious about this. He asked you for the opportunity to make a fortune?
It was unbearable, so Ladislaus decided to personally appear. It must be said that his actions were very effective.
The flow of capital provided by these Venetian merchants would provide much-needed vitality to Vienna's markets.
After meeting with the merchants many times and asking the accompanying Chancellor Hohenzollern to finalize some details with them, Ladislaus set off for the waiting country of Mantua. This is Austria's most important ally in northern Italy today.
.
"This poor Venetian guy, in order to keep the large amount of property on the island, he can only use his working capital to make a letter of investment." Count Slam was so troubled by Machiavelli's sale of the land to him that he refused to say anything about the public bidding.
Well, Ladislaus stipulates that every residential area must be equipped with a certain proportion of veteran apartments, which is really a headache.
One-third of the house had to be allocated to the Austrian soldiers, which was really a too high ratio. This time he was finally liberated.
According to Ladislaus, most Austrians were too slow and missed the opportunity to make a fortune.
Pairing it with some affordable housing will not make commercial housing unprofitable at all.
With the development of the Danube River fishery, the population that Vienna can accommodate will continue to rise. With the sewer system designed by Mrs. Reinhardt, Vienna will become an unparalleled pearl in Central Europe.
In this process, real estate prices will continue to rise, and everyone who refuses to invest will regret it.
"I told you, others can shirk it, the two of us have to buy some no matter what." Frunzberg actually did not realize that this was an opportunity to make a fortune, he just did it out of his status as the head of the military.
After thinking about it, I expressed political support for veterans’ apartments. “Aren’t we also two veterans?”
"Oops. According to His Highness Habsburg, veterans are the group that deserves the most respect and care in Austrian society. I need respect and care very much. Every time I rush into the enemy camp, the camp has been cleaned.
Now, can it be easy for me to save some money?" Count Slam's archer troops were naturally at a disadvantage in competing for the spoils of war.
"You guy." Frunzberg was really helpless to his old friend. "Your daughter runs a series of natural scenery wines in Buda and Pest. Is she still short of money?"
"Don't mention it," Count Slam said in a disappointed tone. "The good times have only passed a few days. Now more and more Hungarian businessmen come directly to Vienna to purchase. The competition is too fierce."
In fact, Harna still attaches great importance to him as a military leader, and takes good care of his daughter regardless of the price or quality of the wine.
However, compared to the good days of monopoly in the first few months, things were far worse later on.
"And I need to use the money to maintain the ship. The better the condition of the ship, the faster the wine will be transported and the quality will be better. And the dock officials in Buda, you know, compared to the local businessmen. We went there to open up channels.
Expenses are indispensable." Count Slam then continued to tell Frundsberg about his business experience, "I also plan to order a new ship to make a dowry for my daughter. Unfortunately, my daughter cannot be married.
Give it to your son."
This is of course. Although Count Slam is not politically sensitive, he also understands that his and Frundsberg's status in the military will definitely make Ladislaus wary if they marry.
Ladislaus was very concerned about marriages among officials, and marriages between high-ranking military officers was his top priority.
For this reason, Ladislaus issued an order that the marriage of the children of senior officers above the captain must be approved by Princess Katharina. The marriages of senior officers have been rejected by several couples.
"It's better to find a civil servant. I don't plan to marry my daughter to a soldier." Frundsberg was certainly cautious enough.
The two of them did not regard the opportunity to enclose land in the city as an opportunity. They would only realize what they had missed later.
.
When the Austrian army arrived in Mantua, they were warmly welcomed by Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua. The excitement of receiving the province of Brescia made His Highness the Marquis extremely enthusiastic about Ladislaus.
The Gonzaga family is a very ancient Italian aristocracy. It has ruled the Mantua region for hundreds of years. It has always been the first-class family in Northern Italy, but it is only the first-class family in Northern Italy. It just follows the trend in the entire European affairs.
This time, with the acquisition of Brescia Rat, the Gonzaga family finally broke out of its original structure and reached a higher level.
From then on, the Gonzaga family was no longer a small Italian noble on the scale of a city, but the lowest level player on the Europa map.
In the palace of Mantua, the Marquis' reception banquet was quite simple. Of course Ladislaus also understood that at this time, the Marquis of Mantua must be spending money everywhere and had to divide one taler into two flowers.
"Your Highness Habsburg, the old Duke of Colonna is my long-term friend. It's so thoughtful of you to see him off in person." Of course, if you save money, you can still afford a few bottles of good Viennese wine. The Marquis of Mantua held up his hand.
Tranquility Harbor pays tribute to Ladislaus.
"Nowhere, you are all princes of the Holy Roman Empire, sons of His Majesty the Emperor." However, Ladislaus also discovered a problem. "Is Brescia very unstable now? When I entered the city, I found that you seemed to have mobilized a large number of troops.
?”
"The situation in Brescia is not a big problem. What I am worried about is the problem of the Church of Rome and the Principality of Siena. Your Highness, I think I might be able to help with the matter of returning the body of the Duke of Colonna to Siena."
.”
Ladislaus put down his glass. The news surprised him.
