Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

v3 Chapter 218: Made in the Netherlands, it must be a bo

Since 1857, with the strong support of William IV, the Far East has achieved rapid development in the past nine years.

The Malayan archipelago under British rule is mainly devoted to vigorously developing the large estate economy.

The Dutch East Indies in the south focus on industrial and commercial development.

Therefore, under this completely different attitude, the economic development of the rulers of the two places is naturally different.

Therefore, with the development of two different models, after the watershed in 1857, the industrial development of the two countries, the Malay Archipelago in the north was far less rapid than the development of the East Indies in the south.

Jane Simscock, a high-ranking East Indies official, has also been troubled recently.

Because Australia and New Guinea became the territory of the Netherlands, and the west coast of the Netherlands made the main economic development concentrated in Australia. Therefore, when many local companies began to develop to the Far East, they no longer used Jakarta and other East Indies. as the first choice.

This caused a lot of pressure.

Also under pressure is the former prime minister of New Guinea, Jane Jacob Rokusen. Because of the development of the military industry, the supply chain was concentrated in Bliss, so New Guinea can be described as the largest and most comprehensive militarization in the Far East. Industrial base.

However, with the development of mainland Australia, many companies have begun to relocate to safer places such as South Australia.

This has resulted in a slowdown in the economy of New Guinea.

The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness of each other.

However, when they thought that this was a national policy, the two wanted to fight the arrangement made by William IV before.

"Many people in Europe would never have imagined that we would invest so many resources in the development of the Far East. With this development, the economic development level of our Far East will not even take ten years. In Europe, that is, Britain, France, Prussia and a few other countries can compare with That's it.

It will be more advanced than the Tsarist Russia Empire, Sweden and other countries that attach importance to agriculture.”

Simscock Road.

Rokusen also said: "Yes, with the development of the Far East, the Kingdom of the Netherlands will be free from the constraints of being small in size, and will step into the status of a big country from now on. Nice touch."

"So, that's why everyone is developing the Far East."

"It's all about the future of the Netherlands"

Having said this, the two began to tell each other about their ideas for planning their own economic development in their own territories.

At the same time, in the Far East, it is not only these two senior officials who are discussing the economic development here.

From their rulers up to the decree, the people of Li and the people are all enthusiastically engaged in the vigorous development of the Far East.

Food processing enterprises such as small flour mills are rapidly established in Queensland, Australia, which is a big grain province. As a result, it has become the largest place in the Far East to grow and process the food industry chain.

It is the most industrialized agricultural area even in the whole continent.

Here goes back to the most advanced processed food technology in Europe.

Therefore, even a lot of Latin American grains are shipped here for processing, and then invested in Yazhou, earning high fees for processed products.

Cotton is also the largest planted product in Queensland, so it has become the largest garment industrial base in the Far East. Cotton compression factories continue to appear here. The largest grain processing factory, garment factory and rope factory in the Netherlands are also located in the capital, Brucebane. .

In addition to the military industrial chain in New Guinea, the timber industry is also another industry, and the paper mills here are all suppliers.

Military parts are more suitable and renowned in Asia.

Relying on its own resource advantages, Western Australia has developed a mineral mining and processing industry. The most representative one is the Perth Iron Works in Perth, which currently has a large factory with more than 5,000 employees, other surrounding minerals, plus The supporting facilities can be described as huge, even in the European continent, it is the top scale.

Last year, the factory had a turnover of more than 500 guilders ($1 million, £200,000.), and no one is going to stop expanding because of its size.

The most prominent is the textile industry in Sydney.

Relying on the abundant water resources here and the unique natural advantages such as being close to the raw material production base in Queensland. , Since 1863, Sydney has built the first factory, and business is very prosperous, so many places are rushing to follow suit, and soon after, other places begin to follow suit, even in Queensland, this trend has begun, As a result, the development of Australia's textile manufacturing industry was promoted.

In particular, the William Group built its own textile factory in Sydney, which brought huge financial performance to Sydney. In just two years, this William Group factory has more than 10,000 people, and the entire Australian textile industry workers That is 30,000 people only. Because the William Group's finished products are manufactured for the far northeastern continent of Europe, etc., it can be said that it manufactures export products. It is said that the William Group will expand its scale as needed.

This leaves no one to deny that the cotton industry and textile manufacturing industry will be more prosperous in the future.

These newly emerging businesses have injected enormous dynamism into the Australian economy. .

William IV looked at the report in front of him, and in his mind he could make up the following construction boom, what kind of situation it was.

However, compared to the previous year, the development of the provinces in Asia is actually faster. Especially the Jakarta area where the Netherlands invested the most before.

For example, Jakarta is also the largest distribution center for textile and wood industries, because it is closer to the big market country in the north and closer to the consumer market.

In fact, because the East Indies belonged to the earliest Dutch, and the industrial development has been nearly ten years, it is far from being comparable to the current southern Australia, a half-way monk.

50% of the manufactured products in the Far East are mainly from East India, of which 30% come from Jakarta.

And it also provides southern Australia with the machinery, skilled workers and craftsmen needed for the production of the textile industry, as well as commercial and financial support, and Sydney, etc. have only begun to build, and have not yet fully equipped to enter the role.

In short, with Jakarta as the center, East India dominates the industrial development of the Far East or its current status.

Due to the concern of William IV in the East India, the north has always attached importance to the development of industry and commerce, and thus entered a period of rapid growth in 1857.

As far as William knew, from less than 5 million guilders produced before 1857, to 500 million guilders ($100 million, £20 million) eight years later in 1864, of which 4 from Jakarta in guilders.

And the over-concentration of development made William IV even more to spread the industrialization process rather than concentrate it. After all, the British went crazy that day and drove the warships there, and then bombarded them for a day or two, which would have caused heavy losses.

Therefore, this time, the process of migration industry in Australia is comprehensive.

Wars across Europe and America await you at the best time for Holland to thrive. Because companies including countries need a good environment and supply chain, and the Netherlands can provide such an environment in the Far East.

With the deliberate guidance and help of the William Group, the industrial system there developed rapidly, was receptive to technological innovation, and developed and utilized natural resources.

In the development of this industrial system, coal fields in various parts of Australia have become the key, just as the development of coal mining in the East India supports the East India economy. As long as the development of coal mines keeps up, after the successful construction of the ring-Australia railway, it can be sent to various places at low prices, providing heat energy for Australia's capacity and metallurgical industry, and steam power for the operation of machines.

Especially in the case that Australia's water resources capacity cannot be broken through, the new kinetic energy in the steam intestine is to expand production.

Moreover, with the widespread use of steam, the Australian factory has obtained a larger empty machine, and the production organization within the factory has become more flexible.

William IV carefully read the report of the Ministry of Industry.

In terms of technological innovation, the Netherlands has also done a very good job.

From 1857 to 1864, various inventions such as the enhanced sewing machine, the cylinder press, and the vulcanization of plastics appeared. Among them, plastic has become the largest specialized industrial product in the Netherlands, and the use of finished products is popular in Europe and even the world.

Become the largest single export product of the Netherlands.

But of course it didn't stop there. Improved devices such as screw-making machines, matches, pencils, and soda production appeared in the Netherlands.

This has helped the Netherlands become one of the strongest exporters of equipment in Europe.

Driven by the Wilhelm Group, Dutch manufacturers have turned these inventions and creations into products, hoping to reap the benefits.

With the continuous expansion of the market, major companies in the Netherlands are eager to use various new technologies to expand production in order to earn more profits.

Officially under the impetus of William IV, the Netherlands formed this kind of technical innovation and practical atmosphere.

The pursuit of technological innovation in the Dutch manufacturing industry ~lightnovelpub.net~ also makes Dutch industrial products occupy an important position in markets around the world.

The manufacture of clocks, pistols, locks and other precision instruments is particularly outstanding, and even gradually formed a world-leading position, becoming a high-end product trusted by the world.

Especially at the last World Expo in Paris, the Europeans, who are known as the most fashionable, were deeply impressed, so businessmen from all over Europe inquired about these industrial products. Finally, they even sent people to visit the Rotterdam and Amsterdam factories. The quality control and standardization of products in the William Group was shocked, so a large number of European businessmen immediately ordered a large number of clocks, firearms and locks.

It can be said that it is very important for the Dutch industrial product status to be upgraded to a high-end brand.

This is what William IV wanted.

Industrial products, or the most important brand name, were all over the place in the previous life. Those products of the same quality were unwilling to differ, but because of the different brands, the price appreciation of the selling price was more than doubled. This is the brand effect.

The Netherlands he led will naturally not give up this position.

Made in the Netherlands, it must be a boutique!
