While Seryosha rushed to France to continue financing the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, Nastya led Seryosha's henchmen on a field trip to Leningrad.
According to Seryosha's vision, the central government will allocate a total of 2,000 square kilometers of land to the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, where there will be a new wharf and an airport.
At the same time, administrative divisions and personnel management will be independent of the city of Leningrad.
It can be said that this is completely the free kingdom of Seryosha's subordinates.
Nastya, Goldman, Pugachev and other young cadres are busy preparing for the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
And as Seryosha's old friends, Yeltsin and Sobchak were also invited to Leningrad to escort the work of Nastya and others.
Sobchak, an authority in the Soviet legal profession and having worked for many years in large financial institutions, was able to work in Seryosha in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
Yeltsin, on the other hand, has been immersed in the construction industry for many years, has extensive experience in urban construction and planning, and coupled with his contacts in Soviet politics, he is also a desired manager of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
In fact, Seryosha originally wanted Yeltsin to take over all the work of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, but at present, Yeltsin is in an awkward position with Gorbachev, so Seryosha can only push Nastya to the forefront.
In order to produce some results as soon as possible and provide convincing evidence of Seryosha's financing activities abroad, Seryosha again withdrew his troops from the Soviet Union from Afghanistan, which signaled the participation of a large number of young and middle-aged workers in the construction of infrastructure in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
Being able to participate in the construction of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone is a dream opportunity for many young people.
Because most people can see the role of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone in the future strategy of the Soviet Union, this means that the Leningrad Special Economic Zone will solve the problems of a large number of people joining the party, housing, employment, etc., and the sooner they can join the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, the more they will be able to take the lead in these problems.
The greatest benefit that the Leningrad Special Economic Zone brought to the Soviet Union was that the resettlement of 100,000 Afghan troops had been smoothly resolved, and now everything was in place, and as soon as Seryosha brought in funds from abroad arrived, the pace of construction of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone would take on a new look.
Seeing the busy construction scene in front of him, Nastya was full of emotion, and after studying the Western economic system in the British system, Nastya had learned to look at the problems of the Soviet Union from a new perspective.
The Leningrad Special Economic Zone is the best experimental field for reform, because it is a blank slate, and it is completely possible to start from scratch and find a set of economic reform paths suitable for the Soviet Union.
Seryosha had to do basically the same thing in France as in England, but Seryosha didn't have the same connections he had in England, so many times the negotiations with French financiers were from scratch.
After all, it was an invitation from the French president, and the face that should be given still had to be given.
During his stay in France, Seryosha was invited to attend several events to inform French business circles about the construction of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
At Seryosha's instigation, Société Générale joined the Leningrad Special Economic Zone financing program, which would provide $100 billion in foreign exchange to buy Soviet government bonds.
This amount has actually made Seryosha very satisfied, but he can see that the French business community is not as enthusiastic about doing business with the Soviet Union as the United Kingdom, and most investors are still waiting and seeing, unless the Leningrad Special Economic Zone is really developing smoothly, they will not come up with real money.
When Seryosha left France, VTB successfully opened a branch here, and VTB became the only Soviet bank in the USSR to operate in Britain, France and Germany.
It was the only one of the major state-owned banks in the Soviet Union to conduct international business on a large scale.
This was a matter of good fortune for the Bank of the Soviet Union, as it would become the spokesperson for all financial institutions owned by the Soviet government in the three countries, controlling the channel for the flow of Soviet funds to the outside world.
It is completely different from Seryosha's treatment when he was in France, Seryosha was actually more warmly welcomed when he was in West Germany, and in the Red Square plane incident, Seryosha did German Chancellor Kohl a big favor, and Kohl has not had a chance to repay Seryosha for this favor.
So this time Kohl was particularly enthusiastic about Seryosha's arrival.
However, because Volkswagen's investment in the Soviet Union has actually made many West German businessmen aware of some of the situation in the Soviet Union, they also know that the road to reform in the Soviet Union is not smooth.
However, they really dare not speculate on whether the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, which is now blank on paper, can succeed, anyway, China, whose economic strength and industrialization level are not as good as those of the Soviet Union, seems to have succeeded, so if the Soviet Union also adopts a similar path, then the possibility of success will be greatly improved.
Germany's Frankfurt Stock Exchange is the largest stock exchange on the continent, and although it is not as capable of financing as the City of London, it is still the largest in Europe in general.
However, the level of internationalization of the Frankfurt stock market is not enough, which is one of the reasons why West Germany's economy is much larger than that of the United Kingdom, but the financial center is so far from the City of London.
Seryosha met with representatives of the German business circles in Bonn and repeated his rhetoric in London and Paris in Bonn.
The rigor of the Germans led them to ask all sorts of questions about Seryosha's plans, but fortunately there was a Chinese experience before the Soviet Union, and Seryosha's soul came from China.
So many questions are not difficult for Seryosha.
Seryosha used his life experience to fool the financial circles of West Germany.
At the instigation of Seryosha, the Germans began to think about the issue of the economic belt along the Baltic coast.
As a member of the Baltic Sea coast, the Leningrad Special Economic Zone has a more direct effect on the economic promotion of West Germany, so the Germans are actually more urgent about the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
Naturally, the Germans were much happier to pay than the French.
They generously contributed to the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, promising to help issue $150 billion in Soviet government bonds.
At this time, Seryosha will raise more than $700 billion in foreign exchange funds for the Soviet Union, which is enough money for the construction and development of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
So, with the joy of overfulfilling the financing task, Seryosha finally returned to the Soviet Union in early December. t1706231537:
