The well-planned Japanese plan has finally begun to generate profits, and now there is no need for Seryosha to worry about, and international investors are frantically shorting Japan's real estate and stock markets, and longing Japan's foreign exchange market.
After the initial temptation, the Japanese government's inaction greatly contributed to the arrogance of the floating capital, and now the only thing that can fight the world's money frantically is the Japanese banking system.
As the yen continued to rise, dollar after dollar was lost from Japan overseas, and the foreign exchange that the Japanese people had worked so hard to accumulate after the war was divided up by the financial oligarchs.
All that Japan is left is endless debts, tens of thousands of unfinished buildings, and families that have been broken up by their inability to repay their debts.
The financial market is a zero-sum game, where there are winners and there are losers, and every penny Seryosha earns is lost by others.
However, for the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, it is finally possible to avoid worrying about funding.
The demonstrations on the Baltic Road have led to the withdrawal of some foreign investors from projects in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, and now half of the foreign financing in the entire Special Economic Zone has been reduced, and even fewer foreign companies have decided to settle in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
Most of Seryosha's own enterprises have already set up new projects in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, which finally makes Seryosha not too ugly in terms of face.
The rest of the companies are mainly energy companies from various countries, such as France's Total, BP, and even Mobil are planning to set up a branch in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, and they value nothing more than the oil and gas resources of the Soviet Union.
Now the reality in front of Seryosha is clear, the Iron Curtain and the torrent of steel, which the Soviet Union has painstakingly managed for many years, have begun to collapse and cannot play their due role.
But the Soviet Union still had something that Europe could not refuse, and that was gas and oil.
As long as oil and gas are controlled, even if the Iron Curtain really does not exist, Europe will never be able to fall out with Russia.
Although the United States has money, it cannot solve the problem of stable energy supply in Europe, and stable energy supply is the decisive factor in the economic development of European countries.
This is a problem that the United States will never be able to solve for Europe.
Therefore, even if the Soviet Union is no longer treated well by European countries, the natural gas resources of the Soviet Union will always be the best friend of European governments.
Oil companies from Europe and the United States are still clinging to the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, hoping to get as much Soviet gas as possible.
In order to avoid long nights, Seryosha launched a long-distance pipeline connecting the Siberian oil and gas fields with the Leningrad Special Economic Zone.
Even if all the enterprises in the Soviet Union did not make money, gas could still bring stable profits.
And the pipeline work will provide a large number of jobs, which will go some way to improving the now chaotic economy of the Soviet Union.
Seryosha submitted the report to the Politburo, and the plan was quickly approved, while Shevardnadze reached an agreement with the Polish and Hungarian governments that the Soviet Union would withdraw its troops from the territory of both countries in batches.
The question of the resettlement of these garrisons was made possible by the project of the pipeline works in Seryosha.
The entire pipeline project is expected to provide about 50,000 jobs, and if you include supporting facilities and some temporary jobs, it will basically provide nearly 200,000 jobs in a short period of time.
Seryosha asked Gorbachev for a policy of autonomy in the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, since this is an area open to the world, and it is impossible to carry out administrative work in the usual way in the Soviet Union, because the efficiency is too slow.
Gorbachev understood what Seryosha meant, but was only somewhat dissatisfied with Seryosha's proposed candidate Yeltsin.
"Comrade Yeltsin served as secretary of the Moscow Municipal Party Committee, and he has more experience in large-scale urban construction than all of us, and Yeltsin has a good reputation in the European and American media.
Gorbachev thought about it for a moment, and the financial power of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone was not in the hands of the government, but in the hands of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and although Yeltsin said that he was the number one leader of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, he was actually only the second-in-command who helped Seryosha manage the construction of the Special Economic Zone, and it was still a barren place.
Even if Yeltsin was given this opportunity, he would not be able to make any waves.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gorbachev could not find any place where Yeltsin was threatening, so he simply agreed to Seryosha's suggestion, after all, sending a person who had served as an alternate member of the Politburo and first secretary of Moscow to serve as the administrative leader of the special economic zone was also to show the world the importance that the Soviet Union attached to the special economic zone.
With Gorbachev's approval, Seryosha was finally able to straighten out Yeltsin, who had always held the title of adviser.
Now Seryosha is considered the leader of Yeltsin, and Yeltsin has to report to Seryosha on his work.
However, Seryosha has a clear understanding of himself, the tens of thousands of construction workers on the construction site are not easy to manage, they are not machines, but living people, in addition to food and work, they also have all kinds of needs, they want housing, to see a doctor, to join the party, to marry a wife and have children, these cumbersome things Seryosha can't manage at all, Seryosha only cares about how to complete the infrastructure construction work of the Leningrad Special Economic Zone faster, So Seryosha pushed these uninteresting jobs to Yeltsin to deal with.
Lebedev, who had been staying in Switzerland, gave an interview to the Japanese media with Seryosha's approval, and he described to the Japanese media that all his research on the Japanese economy was based on publicly available sources.
Lebedev's remarks did not make the Japanese suspicious, because it was, and they were concerned about who was behind the troubled waters.
Lebedev said that he had no idea about this, and that he was only providing consulting services.
This was a great disappointment for the Japanese guests who came from afar.
However, Japanese journalists do not have to worry about running out of news material, because just after the police announced that they would formally issue an arrest warrant for Takao Fujimana, the chief cabinet secretary appointed by Noboru Takeshita, Takao Fujinawa's body was found in his home, and after a preliminary police investigation, Takao Fujiba committed suicide by taking drugs.
As soon as the news came out, the whole of Japan was in an uproar.
Who Takayo Fujinami died for, even unrelated people know clearly.
His death left the police investigation to stop at Takao Fujina, and unable to investigate Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita's rich responsibility in the whole incident.
Noboru Takeshita, who escaped prison, no longer has the face to continue to rely on the prime minister's seat, and other LDP bigwigs have also been criticized by the media.
So after some entanglement, the cabinet of Noboru Takeshita finally announced the collective resignation. t1706231537:
