Ferdinand said slowly: "I intend to let the governnt to introduce special asures to encourage dostic industries to co together to form a huge industrial park, and then drive a new round of national economic developnt!"
Konstantin asked doubtfully, "Your Highness, it would be the sa as building an artificial city! But does it really work? The total number of industries scattered all over the country does not change from the one that would be gathered together. Moreover, the cost of many of them will increase when it cos to the transportation of raw materials?"
Ferdinand said patiently, "It's just on the surface, when a large population will co together, it will certainly promote the developnt of the food and leisure industry and increase the number of jobs!"
"There is also the biggest benefit of gathering together in the sa industry, which is useful for pushing forward the technological innovation of business!"
...
Ferdinand took great pains to finally and narrowly convince Konstantin. Well, now he still does not see the developnt zone, only agreed to common sense for a while, not even letting the governnt's interest in investnt.
Ferdinand thought about it and did not say anything. If the governnt does not invest, he can invest himself.
Anyway, how to look at it is also a good deal. The real estate developnt alone is fat enough. You don't see so many people in business waving their money in the latter days and rushing to the developnt zone.
It is not a difficult task for him to run a city. His family's town in the Hungarian fiefdom is very well run.
Ferdinand is eased down, but Konstantin is worried. Although his mouth says to try, he hopes that the developnt zone can succeed more than anyone else.
As the next pri minister, Konstantin is the one who asks questions about the economic crisis. As an international student, he has not heard much about the horror of the financial crisis. It is easy to bring down a cabinet, not to say destroy a country.
After taking out a map of Bulgaria and calling a eting with governnt officials to discuss it, they finally chose the outskirts of Sliven after several rounds of discussions.
Sliven is an industrial city in eastern Bulgaria, the capital of the Sliven Region. It is located at the southern foothills of the Balkan Mountains. It has been a strategic location since ancient tis.
The city was founded in 1153. It is one of the textile centers of Bulgaria, and the first factory of tweed-making in the country was established in 1834.
Woolen, silk, textile, machinery, machine tool manufacturing, food, wood processing glass, and ceramic industries are one kind. There is a library and a museum.
In terms of security, it is already hundreds of kiloters from the border line and can rely on the Balkan Mountains for defense; in terms of transportation, the railroad is already connected, and the port of Burgas is not far away, making it easy to transport.
By all accounts, Sliven was good. Ferdinand was also satisfied that Sliven was still famous for the rose oil produced in the outskirts in later tis.
Another reason he cannot say is that Ferdinand wants the industry to move away from Sofia. During the years of rapid economic developnt in Bulgaria, Sofia, as the capital, developed even more rapidly.
It also leads inevitably to environntal pollution, and now the air quality in Sofia has declined markedly.
At this ti, it is unlikely that environntal protection laws will be introduced. Ferdinand can most restrict the birth of new factories in Sofia in terms of approval, but there is nothing he can do about the existing factories.
Now the opportunity has co to send them packing, Ferdinand still has a few more years to spare. The future Sofia can be the political center of Bulgaria. It can be the cultural or economic center, but not the industrial center.
The Bulgarian governnt has created a new developnt zone that is not very big at the administrative level. It has not yet co to fruition and is only a municipal unit directly under the central governnt.
As soon as they introduced the benefits, the official dia, of course, ca out singing their praises in a very reckless manner. Well, the opposition dia, sadly, are not the mainstream.
The Bulgarian Press Law stipulates that the financial transparency of news dia companies and the content of ads, for which the newspaper is held liable jointly and severally.
Several newspapers have paid the price for this in blood, with the owner and editor of the newspaper closing down and going to jail. So now, newspapers are not interested in ads. All rely on reader subscriptions to live.
Sadly, the Bulgarian market was so small that many newspapers closed. By the end of 1891, less than ten newspapers in the country combined, less than a third of what they were in their pri.
The public opinion in Bulgaria has beco so unified that it is almost impossible for confused ideas to spread through newspapers.
The Socialist Workers Party, on which Ferdinand gave orders to the intelligence services to provide significant weight, is not even in its infancy.
The main reason, of course, was that in just three years, from 1888 to 1891, the average wage of Bulgarian workers had increased by twenty percent.
There is also the introduction of labor law, the presence of overti pay, and now everyone is busy making money. They are not interested in social movents and can't fool people, so naturally, there is no ground for political parties to survive.
The brutal struggle between the Liberals and Conservatives disgusted the Bulgarian public.
Under Ferdinand's guidance, there is now a wave of anti-party thinking in Bulgaria, of which the new generation of students is the main force.
They established the first developnt zone in Bulgaria quietly and silently in a calm environnt. The first mayor of the developnt zone, the forr mayor of Sliven, was appointed to the post, and officials at all levels remained unchanged from the original local officials.
The new Sliven Developnt Zone, carved out of the City of Sliven, seems to be back in the sa system.
From the above, it is enough to see how unpopular the newly established developnt zone is in the governnt. Apart from a change of na and so more special incentives, there are almost no changes in personnel.
It can't help that now, except for Ferdinand, the entire Bulgarian governnt, the expectations of the new developnt zone are not much. Everyone is trying to suppress the impact so as not to fail to end badly.
Looking at the report sent by Konstantin, Ferdinand thought about it and approved it. In the spirit of saving as much as possible, the governnt has saved another administration expense.
Anyway, the infrastructure construction projects of the whole developnt zone have now been commissioned by the new zone developnt company, which Franz has just ford.
According to the agreent, the governnt of Sliven Developnt Zone has given the whole area of ten square kiloters of land to the new developnt company for a friendly price of 100,000 Leva.
Including the pre-investnt and construction, the municipal service managent, and the later investnt attraction, all are the tasks of the new area developnt company.
Not only that, based on the agreent. The new district developnt public also has to ensure that the new district in five years, the total size of the enterprise assets exceeded 100 million Leva, the population exceeded 50,000, to be considered successful.
In case of failure, the developnt company will have to pay three million Leva for breach of contract. The new district governnt will have the right to acquire the properties in the developnt area at a discount.
It's like an empty glove. The governnt passes all the risks to the developnt company. If it succeeds, the governnt can continue to expand the area of the new district and develop it in all directions; if it fails, the developnt company will pay for it anyway, and there will be liquidated damages.
Fortunately, the developnt company is Ferdinand's. Otherwise, it is estimated that no one dares to sign this contract. Although the profit's success is enormous, once the change of which link pulls back, It is the empty basket of money.
