Chapter 214 A special economic zone with a blank sheet of paper

Just as Seriosha rushed to France to continue financing the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, Nasja led Seriosha's confidants to conduct on-site inspections of Leningrad. According to Seriosha's vision, the central government will allocate a total of 2,000 square kilometers of land to the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, and there will be new docks and airports here. At the same time, administrative divisions and personnel management will be independent of Leningrad City. This can be said to be completely the free kingdom of Seriosha's subordinates.

Young cadres such as Nasja, Goman, Pugachev are busy preparing for the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. As Seriosha's old friend, Jeltsin and Sobchak were also invited to Leningrad to take over the work of Nasja and others. Sobchak is an authority in the Soviet legal circle and has many years of experience in large financial institutions. He is naturally eager to work in Leningrad Special Economic Zone. Jeltsin is obsessed with the construction industry for many years and has rich experience in urban construction and planning. In addition, his connections in the Soviet political arena are also the manager who is eager for Leningrad Special Economic Zone. In fact, Seriosha originally wanted to let Jeltsin take over all the work in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, but Jeltsin is currently in an awkward situation in Gorbachev, so Seriosha can only push Nasja to the front.

In order to achieve some achievements as soon as possible, Selyosha's financing activities abroad were provided with persuasive evidence, Selyosha once again withdrew from the Soviet Union's Afghanistan to sign a large number of young and middle-aged people to participate in the infrastructure construction of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone. Being able to participate in the construction of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone is an opportunity that many young people dream of. Because most people can see the role of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone in the future strategy of the Soviet Union, which means that the Leningrad Special Economic Zone will solve the problems of membership of a large number of people joining the party, housing, employment, etc., and the earlier they can join the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, the more they can gain the advantage on these issues.

The biggest benefit that Leningrad Special Economic Zone brought to the Soviet Union was that the resettlement problem of 100,000 Afghanistan withdrawal was successfully solved. Now everything is in short supply. As long as Selyosaud introduced funds from abroad, the construction speed of Leningrad Special Economic Zone will be completely renewed. Looking at the busy construction scene in front of him, Nasga was very moved. After the British systematically learned the Western economic system, Nasga had learned to look at the Soviet problem from a new perspective. The Leningrad Special Economic Zone is the best reform experimental field, because it is completely blank, and it is possible to find a way to economic reform suitable for the Soviet Union from scratch.

What Seriosha had to do in France was basically the same as that of the UK, but Seriosha did not have his connections in the UK, so many times he negotiated with French financiers from scratch to explore each other. After all, it was the invitation of the French president, so the face he should be given. Seriosha was invited to attend several events during this time in France to convey the construction of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone to French economic circles. At Seriosha's instigation, Societe Generale joined the financing plan of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, and they would provide 100 billion US dollars of foreign exchange to purchase Soviet bonds. This amount actually made Seriosha very satisfied, but he could see that the French economic circle's expectations for doing business with the Soviet Union were not as enthusiastic as the UK, and most investors were still waiting and watching. Unless the Leningrad Special Economic Zone really developed smoothly, they would not come out with real money.

When Seriosha left France, the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank successfully opened branches here, and the foreign trade bank also became the only Soviet bank in the Soviet Union to conduct business in Britain, France and Germany. This was the only bank to conduct international business on a large scale among the major state-owned banks in the Soviet Union. This is a blessing for the Soviet Bank, because it will become the spokesperson for all financial institutions of the Soviet government in these three countries and control the channels for the flow of Soviet funds to the outside world.

It was completely different from Seriosha's treatment since France. Seriosha was welcomed even more enthusiastic when she was in West Germany. During the Red Square plane incident, Seriosha helped German Chancellor Kohl with a big and small business. Kohl had no chance to repay Seriosha. So this time Kohl was particularly enthusiastic about Seriosha's arrival.

However, because Volkswagen's investment in the Soviet Union has actually made many West German businessmen realize some of the situation in the Soviet Union, and they also know that the Soviet Union's reform path was not going smoothly. However, they really dare not speculate whether the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, which is now full of paper, can succeed. Anyway, China, whose economic strength and industrialization level are not as good as that of the Soviet Union, seems to have been successful. If the Soviet Union also adopts a similar path, the possibility of success will be greatly improved.

The Frankfurt Trading Market in Germany is the largest securities trading market on the European continent. Although its financing capacity is not as good as the City of London, it is still the first in Europe in general. However, the internationalization level of the Frankfurt securities market is not enough, which is one of the reasons why West Germany's economy is far superior to that of the United Kingdom, but the financial center is so far away from the City of London.

Seriosha met with representatives of German economic circles in Bonn and reiterated his arguments in London and Paris in Bonn. The Germans' rigorous attitude made them raise various questions about Seriosha's plan. Fortunately, they had Chinese experience before the Soviet Union, and Seriosha's soul came from China. Therefore, many problems were not difficult for Seriosha. Seriosha used his two-life life experience to fool the West German financial circles. Under Seriosha's instigation, the Germans began to consider the issue of the Baltic coastal economic belt.
