Chapter 7: ,Christmas

　　 1881 was a year of development, and the citizens of Vienna-material life became more colorful. Ferdinand's mind is open, and he is also going farther and farther on the road of profiteers. Various routines make people overwhelmed.
　　 Shuanghui Food Group has more and more products, such as a wide range of noodles, a wide range of biscuits, and fries with different flavors.
　　The baker also officially moved into the supermarket, and all kinds of pastries have also appeared on the scene. It has gone from the sight of the citizens of Vienna, which greatly facilitates people's lives.
　　 Of course, it has also enriched Ferdinand's pockets. Volvo has already made its way to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, covering every major city.
　　Of course, Shuanghui Food Group, along with supermarkets, has become more and more veritable from a leather bag company, becoming one of the largest companies in the food processing field of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
　　 Christmas is coming, Volvo has become even busier. Under the spur of Ferdinand, Ferrantz started preparations for the Christmas event in a daze.
　　 Ferdinand can’t help but relax. There are already several supermarkets in Vienna, and they are beginning to renovate. The style is basically a copy of Volvo.
　　 is also unconventional, but it is automatically ignored by Ferdinand. If you don't understand anything, just go for innovation. If you are full of death attributes, it will not pose a threat at all.
　　 It can be imagined that in 1882 there will be a large number of supermarkets in Vienna. The era of Ferdinand's monopoly is coming to an end, and a hundred schools of thought are about to come.
　　Ferdinand estimates that the next three to five years will be the golden age of supermarkets, and competitors are still in the learning and exploring stage; within five to ten years, they will gradually transition to the silver stage, as competitors increase and profits begin to thin.
　　 However, Volvo's dominance has been determined, and it is difficult for rising stars to challenge in the short term. Ten years later, its own supporting industries will be perfected. By then, it will have a complete industrial chain and maximize its benefits.
　　 Take a look at the harvest in 1881. Since Volvo opened on June 18, it has opened 36 new stores in the past six months, slightly exceeding the plan.
　　 also contributed 30,000 pounds of net profit to Ferdinand, and the profit was mainly spent on opening new stores. The average monthly profit of each supermarket remains at around eight hundred pounds, which is terrifying and is Ferdinand’s largest income now.
　　 Shuanghui Food Group Co., Ltd. also performed very well. After the restructuring of the flour processing plant, it benefited from the rapid expansion of sales channels. From the beginning, the profitability of 300 pounds per month has increased to 1,000 pounds per month.
　　 The newly established noodle factory has average sales. Although Ferdinand has created many brands, Europeans are not accustomed to using chopsticks, and even pasta sells well.
　　 At first, he had a slight loss, and now his monthly profit is only about 100 pounds, which disappointed Ferdinand.
　　 Fortunately, this is just a small factory with a dozen people. There is no blindly expanding scale, otherwise it will not be profitable now.
　　 The benefits of snack processing factories are good, such as popcorn, French fries, and all kinds of biscuits, which sell well.
　　Since its establishment, the snack processing plant has expanded twice and now has more than 800 employees. The scale of Ferdinand's industry is second only to Volvo. Now the monthly profit is as high as 8,000 pounds, and there is still high room for improvement.
　　 Throughout 1881, Ferdinand created an industry worth hundreds of thousands of pounds, but he only added less than 10,000 pounds in cash in his pocket.
　　 Christmas is here, there is a beautiful Christmas tree in front of Volvo, and a dazzling array of food on the counter.
　　 wearing a red pointed round hat, wearing a bright red robe, white beard and eyebrows Santa Claus hand gift bag, waved to people, and gave a bag of food to children passing by.
　　 supermarkets also opened holiday discounts and big bargains, and the dazzling array of products are marked with discounted prices, attracting passing crowds.
　　 This is completely Ferdinand ~ arranged according to the following Austrian Christmas. It seemed that the effect was very good. Many products were sold out, leaving only rows of empty shelves and exhausted salespeople in the supermarket.
　　 Christmas is the most important holiday in the West, and the Ferdinand family is no exception. They were invited to Schönbrunn Palace and had a Christmas dinner with a bunch of relatives in Vienna.
　　 Then, the family sang and danced under the Christmas tree and gave each other Christmas gifts. The whole scene was full of warm atmosphere.
At twelve o’clock in the night, Ferdinand and others all got up and stood up, lit a tree of candles, read the "Bible" in unison, blessed each other, and sang Christmas songs, the first Christmas song that has spread all over the world It originated in Oberndorf in Salzburg, Austria.
　　 After singing the Christmas song, Ferdinand left Schönbrunn Palace and went to Vienna's Stephen's Cathedral for mass.
　　 At this time, there is a tall Christmas tree in the church, and a shining star on the tree points to the road to Bethlehem, the "three kings of the East" Caspar, Badasa, and Mersiu. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
　　 The streets and alleys of the capital of Vienna are now full of children, singing Christmas songs, and walking around the house.
　　 The nobles and capitalists are also rare and generous. The workers all have holidays, and many people can also receive Christmas gifts.
　　 At least people who work for Ferdinand received a Christmas gift, some snacks produced by the factory, and some unsalable products. Anyway, what Ferdinand’s factory produces is food, which is a very valuable gift to the destitute workers.
　　 If it weren't for Carl Butler’s timely reminder, Ferdinand would have almost issued the year-end bonus. Fortunately, he responded in time. You must know that in those days, raising the wages of workers without authorization would be hostile to capitalists.
　 　 After Christmas, Ferdinand was called by Princess Clementina in the early morning.
　　 Sleeping in is a bad habit developed by Ferdinand in his previous life, but Princess Clementine hates it, she thinks it will kill a person's will.
　　 Ferdinand fought back several times to no avail, but in the end he was obediently obedient. I thought that Christmas could be an exception, but reality told him that he couldn't.
　　 Morning exercises are also a tradition of the Kohari family. The military aristocracy’s life is not as easy as in the legend.
　　 paper drunk gold fans, with very few exceptions. Most of the German nobles follow the tradition and are strictly required from an early age. They have to learn much more knowledge than ordinary people and hardly have any good childhoods.
　　Vienna's nobles are beginning to decay, but most of them are new-born nobles upstarts. They are greedy for pleasure, which hurts the reputation of the entire aristocratic circle. The great aristocracy with real background has strict requirements for future generations beyond ordinary people's imagination.
