The Leningrad Special Economic Zone (SEZ) program is a spring breeze that has spread across the British Isles and mainland Europe, and with the explosive news, governments are hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to boost their own economies.
Seryosha became the guest of honour of the British Prime Minister, then French President François Mitterrand asked the French ambassador to Britain to convey an invitation to Seryosha for an interview, and Germany followed suit, and the three most important countries on the continent were excited about the economic reforms of the Soviet Union.
The fundamental reason for this situation is that everyone is in a similar situation.
The problems faced by the Soviet Union were the same problems that had been brought about by the long period of labor party rule in various countries after the end of World War II.
After the Second World War, the world's richest European continent was bombed into ruins, the economy has completely collapsed, and everyone can only rely on the United States to barely maintain the operation of the government, in this case, the Labor Party, which represents the interests of the middle and lower class people, has lacked political power in various countries and began to implement economic policies in the direction of Fabian socialism, the so-called Fabian socialism, which is the gradual establishment of socialist systems in various countries, which is the core idea of the British Labour Party.
It is also recognized by the Labour Party of the vast majority of countries on the European continent.
He belonged to a different school of socialism from Leninism, Fabian was the general who defeated the Carthaginian god of war Hannibal in the battle between Rome and Carthage, and his military strategy was to wait slowly and wait for the time to strike when the time was right.
This kind of thinking also coincides with the idea advocated by the British Labour Party of parliamentary struggle and the gradual establishment of a socialist system.
Socialism in Europe and even in the world is not a heresy, and there are many left-wing parties in capitalist countries around the world that uphold the ideas of different schools of socialism, and there is also a unified organization in the world called the Socialist International, whose predecessor was the Third International, which was founded before the First World War.
Political parties are involved in all countries of the world.
Leninism in the Soviet Union is also a type of socialism, but it inherited Marx's scientific socialism, Lenin's ideas of violent revolution, and Fabianism advocated by the Labor Party, although the purpose is the same, but the way of realization is very different.
However, since it is socialism, there is still a certain common denominator, that is, the establishment of state-owned enterprises and the establishment of an economic system in which the state participates in regulation and control.
After World War II, a large number of public utilities were rapidly nationalized in Britain, as were Germany and France, while the Soviet Union continued the Stalinist planned economy with the same nationalized large enterprises.
In the aftermath of World War II, when supplies were severely short and goods on the market were scarce, the socialist state-owned economy played a pivotal role.
Both in the Soviet Union under Stalin and in Europe where the Labour Party had been in power for a long time, the economy developed very rapidly, because of the shortage of materials, the products produced in the factories could be sold at a good price, regardless of the quality.
But as the supply of goods in Europe returned to normal, competition between firms began.
Consumers are no longer satisfied with the practicality of goods, but instead pursue higher quality.
This has led to problems in the industrial system, which had been accustomed to economies of scale, whether it was the Soviet Union or the United States, or the countries of Europe, which were basically facing the same problems.
Some countries have gradually occupied the high-end market by improving and enhancing their industrial manufacturing capabilities and product competitiveness, the most notable of which are Japan and West Germany.
Some countries rely on liberalization of the private sector to encourage large companies to improve their competitiveness, and the United Kingdom is a notable example.
Now the USSR had only a few ready-made models in front of it, either from Britain, from Japan, or from China.
But in fact, only learning from Britain is a road that works, the Soviet Union is not China, the manufacturing industry needs the demographic dividend that the Soviet Union does not have, if the population of the Soviet Union is enough, agricultural production will not be in the current situation.
Similarly, it is quite difficult to learn about high-end manufacturing in Japan and Germany.
Japan and West Germany were allies of the United States, and could easily obtain from the United States already sophisticated technology, a convenience that the Soviet Union would never have.
Privatization reform is the only way out, but the motive for reform should not be the demands of the ruling party of the Soviet Union from the lower levels, but the broad masses of the Soviet people should carry out the reform spontaneously.
Now that he understands this, Seryosha has also made it clear what kind of industry should be the core of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
Naturally, most of the ordinary people of the Soviet Union were able to participate.
Although Seryosha came to Europe to raise money to fill his pocket, if there was a big trouble in the development of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone at the beginning, then the follow-up financing plan was likely to be in vain, so in order to cheat as much money as possible, Seryosha did not know that he had to make a mess of his t, and he had to really make some achievements.
After thinking about this reason, Seryosha adjusted his strategy slightly.
VTB in London will be responsible for the issuance of the bonds in the UK, but VTB will still need authorization from the UK bond market to proceed smoothly.
Under Seryosha's personal care, the financing in the UK went very smoothly.
The British government is afraid that this financing plan will choose another market due to the restrictions of the British regulators, so the British government has the green light all the way and can't wait for this financing to be used in the British market.
The efficiency is far beyond Seryosha's imagination.
Although there is still a long time before the real listing of Soviet government bonds, several powerful market makers have already come to the Soviet Foreign Trade Bank to apply to take over the issuance of Soviet government bonds.
After all, 500 billion is not a small amount, and no financial institution in the UK can eat this financing independently.
So there will probably be forty or fifty financial institutions that will join forces to take over the issuance of this time.
In addition, there are also many market makers in France across the Channel who can't wait to come to the UK and want a piece of the pie.
However, the French soon learned from the staff of the Soviet Foreign Trade Agency that Minister Ulyanov would leave France in a few days to continue the financing of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
After the French learned of this news, they sent the great news back to China overnight, and soon the invitation from the other side of the English Channel flew like snowflakes to the Soviet embassy in Britain, in order to ensure that Seryosha was not picked up by other countries in advance, President Mitterrand even sent his own envoy to London to wait for Seryosha to leave for France together, but when President Mitterrand's special envoy came to England, he met the ambassador from West Germany here.
Seryosha became almost the most popular person in all of Europe for a while. t1706231537:
