  Chapter 151 in France

  Before coming to Paris this time, Tom had done his homework and practiced for a long time in advance.

  In fact, Tom's words are very clumsy. If he meets those old foxes, it will definitely not have any effect.

  But the purpose of Tom's trip is still Alfonso XII Jr. The communication between adults still has the effect of fueling the flames for these vigorous young people.

   And Sha Er had just brought little Alfonso to Paris from Spain, and she said in her heart that it was impossible not to panic, but in Paris, she didn't have to worry about being pushed to the guillotine by the angry Spanish people.

  Anyway, the United States is currently in a state where people hate dogs in Europe. It is correct for countries to blame some non-existent things on the Americans.

  …

  While Tom was going to Paris, Ernst himself was not idle. Now he is investigating the development of the company in Marseille, France.

  Although Ernst is also in France, it is completely unnecessary for Ernst to talk to the Spanish royal family by himself.

   Being able to send a representative there is quite conspicuous in the governments of various countries. Except for the French and Spanish exiles, there are almost no decent forces. At this time, they should care about the fate of the Spanish royal family, let alone provide support.

Although the money Heixinggen sent was not much, it was definitely the only one. More people wanted to get a fortune from Sha Er. After all, Sha Er was a extravagant person, and he took it away from the Spanish royal palace when he fled. A lot of good stuff.

  Combined with the power of the Bourbon family in France, many people can come to the mother and son to receive their wages under the banner of restoring the country.

After all, Sha Er herself claimed that she was still the Queen of Spain. For this reason, she tried to contact the Carlos faction, her political opponent, and was even willing to give them financial assistance. Although Carlos refused, it showed that Sha Er had quite a lot of funds rich.

  Marseille, as the city second only to Paris in France, is extremely prosperous in business. The Hechingen Consortium has also set up a French branch here to manage its business in France.

  In the business market of the Hechingen Consortium, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are equally important, both of which are in the first tier, while the French market and Eastern Europe are in the second tier.

  Although there are many people in Eastern Europe, their purchasing power is not as good as that of France today, and the French are more likely to enjoy it, so France is an important customer of the Hechingen Consortium.

   The factory in the Austro-Hungarian Empire of the Hechingen Consortium is connected to the French market. Relying on the convenience of the Mediterranean route, the factory in the Austro-Hungarian Empire is mainly responsible for the business of the entire Mediterranean Sea west of Trieste.

  The factories in Germany mainly expand the business in Eastern Europe, that is, Tsarist Russia.

  As for the Ottoman and Middle East markets, Ernst is currently trying to expand its business to the Middle East with East Africa as the center.

  Of course, East Africa cannot meet the conditions now, especially the business around the Mediterranean such as Ottoman and North Africa is still undertaken by factories in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

  Marseille is indeed good among European cities, especially in this era, a proper international metropolis, and Nasan has a palace here.

   Ernst arrived in Marseille by boat from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and he disembarked at the port of Marseille with a large group of bodyguards and staff.

   This trip to France, Marseille was just the starting point, Ernst tried to re-establish the old connection between the Hechingen royal family and those Hechingen royal families in France.

  Finally, the trip ends in Paris, and the transfer railway returns to Hechingen.

   "Your Highness, the hotel where you will stay today has been arranged. I am tired from the journey. I don't know if you should take a rest today." Carlisle, the person in charge of the Hexingen Foundation in Marseilles, said respectfully.

   "Well, no need, let's go to the company first and check the business status of the French branch this year. I'm very energetic now." Ernst said.

   "Okay, Your Highness, but please wait a moment, this time you brought a lot of people, so our carriage is not in place, please forgive me!" Carlisle said.

   "Of course no problem, you go prepare!" Ernst said.

   This is common sense. Ernst brought 70 to 80 people as bodyguards, and a bunch of professionals. He didn't make it clear to the Marseille staff in advance.

  To be honest, so many people gathered together, those who didn’t know it thought it was some big person visiting Marseille.

  Ernst, who has a big family and a great career, dare not be blind. He is not an indestructible body, and he is not afraid of assassination and other actions.

  Although Heixingen has no enemies on the surface, Ernst will not put his fate in the hands of the word "possible".

Ernst's bodyguard team is definitely first-class in the whole of Europe. Take this trip as an example, there are ten members of the Royal Guard of Hechingen on the surface, all of whom are regular military personnel with live ammunition. This has already been discussed with the French government. through gas.

  This is the benefit of the status of the German princes. Although Hexingen has completely become a part of Prussia, the treatment of those European monarchs is quite a lot. As long as the royal family of Hexingen pays the starting salary, the palace guard can naturally remain.

  In addition to the palace guards, there is a security team in suits and leather shoes. These are unofficial security personnel, and the number is the largest, consisting of fifty or sixty people.

  Their uniforms are all custom-made. When they stand there, they look like the elites of this era. These are guarding Ernst's side in the open.

  The rest of the security guards are more than a dozen plainclothes, who are mainly responsible for observing whether there are suspicious people and dangers around, and checking the existence of dangers in advance.

  Their range of activities is relatively large, within 100 meters is their activity area, and in order to hide from the crowd, this time they deliberately dressed up as French and foreign tourists.

  …

   Soon, the team came to the Hechingen consortium branch in Marseille, and Ernst's professional team began to check the accounts and performance.

  Basically, there are no major problems, and small discrepancies can be corrected. Ernst is still very satisfied with the results of this surprise inspection.

   "Carlisle, you have done a good job, you must continue to work hard, and everyone present, you must not slacken your work.

France is an important market for our consortium. We must keep in mind the service tenet that customers are the parents of food and clothing. Only when customers are satisfied can our products and business expand the market. The Heixingen consortium is based on quality and makes more in the market. Many people recognize the reliability of our products and businesses. "

  Now the German region has not yet been unified, and the supervision of commodity survival is not in place. In addition, Germany is an out-and-out copycat country, and the reputation of industrial products is stronger than that of the United States.

Therefore, when the Heixingen consortium is doing business, it is not keen to be linked with Germany. It is in the field of electric power, energy and power, this kind of high-tech industry, where the strength is placed, it does not matter to hang the logo of German products, anyway, professionals Know who is the best product to buy

  Like ordinary commodities, the Heixingen Consortium focuses on differentiation, especially the products that meet the national conditions of each country.

   Cooperate with commercial outlets to increase people's impression of Heixingen's products and brands.

  Of course, fakes are unavoidable, and there are many small workshops in Europe that can reproduce trademarks and put them on the market the next day.

At this time, the commercial outlets of the Heixingen Consortium play a role. The Heixingen Consortium cannot be sure whether the products you bought from other places are fakes, but the commercial outlets of the Heixingen Consortium are all officially certified. It is shipped directly from the factory under the Hexingen Consortium, seamlessly.

  Products purchased from Heixingen commercial outlets will also be coded for anti-counterfeiting.

The commercial outlets certified by the Heixingen Consortium basically have no fake products. In order to prevent some outlets from shoddy goods and pocketing privately, the Heixingen Consortium also considerately provides reporting services to customers. The evidence is solid and customers can also get a A huge bounty.

   Therefore, basically no person in charge of the commercial outlets under Heixingen dares to make small moves.

  As long as the goods are purchased through formal channels, the Heixingen Consortium will also provide follow-up services, so the products of Heixingen have a good reputation in the market.

  The consequence of this is that in order to protect the rights and interests of consumers, Heixingen’s business outlets are slowly expanding, and many stores require their own investment, but Heixingen is doing long-term business after all, so it doesn’t matter if it takes more effort.

   Moreover, the product coverage of the Hexingen Consortium is very extensive now, and it can provide more exclusive products, and at the same time, it can sell some products of other companies part-time.

   To put it bluntly, it is a supermarket. Of course, the supermarkets in Hechingen only exist in slightly larger cities around Europe, and many places do not exist yet.

  Ernst fully drew on the experience of his previous life, so that the current Hexingen commercial outlet has become a model where customers can directly interact with products, reduce intermediate links, and finally check out at the counter.

  In order to enhance consumers' shopping interest, Ernst doesn't mind putting products from other companies on the shelves, as long as they meet the standards of the Hechingen Consortium.

  These commercial outlets do not have a unified brand in Europe as a whole, that is, they take local names according to the national conditions of each country. For example, the name used by the Hechingen supermarket in France is Department Store on the Seine.

  The French public, who don’t know why, thought that these supermarkets were opened by Parisians. Anyway, Paris is the capital of France, so the products from Paris should not be too bad, just go in and buy them.

  Of course, except for Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. These two regions are named after Hexingen. In Ernst’s eyes, Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are one.

The larger the city, the better the economy, and the larger the supermarkets in Hechingen, the more commodities and services they provide. With the help of the unique supply channels of the Hechingen Consortium, these supermarkets can develop on the European continent. grow.

These supermarkets can be seen all over the continent. After all, supermarkets on the banks of the Seine are not necessarily only available in France, but also in Germany and Tsarist Russia. Anyway, people who don’t know the truth think it’s a French brand, and the romantic city itself has a brand. effect.

  Now the Hexingen consortium has begun to land in the UK market, and a number of supermarkets will appear there soon.
