Chapter 814 Poland

It's cold in Warsaw in winter, but the streets are festive. It's almost Christmas, and because it's the first New Year with a changed political system. Everyone seems to think that Western democracy is a panacea, that money will roll in, and that everyone can enjoy a free and prosperous life.

At the film offset printing factory in the eastern suburbs of Warsaw, a long line of cars with government license plates drove in. As soon as the car stopped, Walisha, the director of the offset printing factory, led several factory leaders to trot forward, and diligently opened the car door to greet Deputy Minister Povsky, who came to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of the new factory today.

"Your Excellency, welcome. Comrades have long been looking forward to your guidance in their work. Walisha still has some of the working habits of the pre-upheaval period, and he is quite courteous to the arrival of Deputy Minister Povsky.

Povsky smiled and shook Walisha's hand, and then took the flowers from a beautiful female worker: "You are the director of Walisha, right? I heard that your work is very good, and His Excellency the President and I have known you and your factory for a long time." ”

"Thank you very much. I wish His Excellency the President good health. ”

"Okay, so let's visit first?"

"Of course, you please. ”

In the just-concluded Polish general election, Solidarity led by Solidarity leader Walesa defeated all its opponents and won the election with an absolute majority. And this deputy minister Powski is one of the former leaders of Solidarity.

However, if you are interested, you can learn more about the history of the founding of Solidarity in Poland, which has always existed as an anti-system opposition political group. At this time, the leaders of Solidarity may have a full talent for political struggle and street fighting, that is, they are a big negative number in terms of governing the country and the economy. To be honest, even if zero is much better than a negative number, at least zero means that the country is not developing, but there is no regression, and a negative number is a cub selling his field.

In fact, it will not take a few years for the Polish people to wake up from this political frenzy, and the chaotic economy and the unemployment rate of 17% will make even the most sober people wake up, right? So in the presidential election of '95, Walesa lost miserably. And when he ran for president again in 2000, he received only 1.01% of the vote. At that time, there were two satirical Walesa songs in Poland that swept the country, one was "Never Trust the Electrician", and the other was "Walesa, where is my 100 million yuan". Obviously, the end of such "treatment" for a politician is tragic enough.

However, at this time, because they had just come to power, Povsky and his team were still full of ambition, believing that under their leadership, Poland would create a miracle like a salted fish. However, even if the Nobel Prize is an economist, the revival of the economy still depends on the results. It is nothing more than attracting investment and employment, so the establishment of this new enterprise has become a kind of benchmark, even to the extent that Povsky, the deputy minister, personally participated.

In Poland, in the midst of the opposition's vigorous propaganda, White Lotus's acquisition of the film culture system has become a kind of typical example, and it has also become a certain achievement of privatization, which has solved the employment of nearly 50,000 people, and the wages and benefits have increased significantly, and the film culture system, which is heavily subsidized by the state, has not only sold for tens of millions of dollars It has now become a thriving industry, bringing a lot of tax revenue to the Polish government, and even in the cultural circles, it is also well received, and the White Lotus has funded many cultural activities, and there are also foreign exchanges, and even actors have landed in Hollywood......

Doesn't this prove the vitality of privatization?

And today, there is a new investment, so why don't the officials of the new government come to the show?

......

Like many former state-owned enterprises in Eastern Europe, the offset printing plant occupies a large area and has a lot of factory buildings that can be utilized. While leading Povsky and his entourage to visit, Walisha was introducing the situation: "Your Excellency, the new VCD plant has more than 600 employees and an investment of 4.2 million US dollars. Most of them are employees and family members of the original offset printing factory and the cultural department, and after training, they are all qualified for the new positions they are in. ...... Our existing work is basically assembly, and all spare parts are imported from abroad. It is expected that after half a year, domestic spare parts will be gradually adopted, and its own design and production will begin. ...... We plan to gradually reach 10 million US dollars in annual output value one year after it is put into operation, and create no less than 1 million US dollars in tax revenue for the government. Sorry, Your Excellency, we are not able to quote in zlotys for the time being, as we cannot estimate the risk of depreciation......"

In response to Walisha's introduction, Povsky kept nodding and smiling: "Then what difficulties do you need the government to help solve?"

"It's all about the venue. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Walisha took the opportunity to put forward conditions, "At present, we are still a VCD factory, but in the future we want to build an electronics industry base, so the site in the urban area is small, and I hope the government can solve the factory plot in the suburbs for us." ”

"Oh, the electronics industry base?" Povsky's eyes lit up. To be honest, what exactly is a VCD? Powsky still hasn't figured it out, only that it's a device related to movie playback. However, in Povsky's concept, such a device is just that, after all, the equipment for playing movies is relatively niche. However, the electronics industry base is different, no matter how closed Povsky's news is, he also knows that the electronics industry is the hottest industry today. So Povsky eagerly asked, "Can you tell us about the projects?" Which European and American companies have come to invest?"

"It is the former Wang An Computer, a world-famous computer company, and now Yikai Computer ......"

Poland is an important production base in Europe prepared by Jing Jian, which is to radiate the Soviet Union and Eastern European markets. The production base in Western Europe is going to be set up in Ireland. As for why this offset printing factory was chosen, first, it is because it is more or less related to movies, and secondly, it is also to digest those idle employees, but the main reason is that the offset printing factory has existing land and workshops, which can be put into production soon, after all, Jing Jian positions them as a large-scale assembly plant.

However, Powski is already very satisfied with the current situation of the factory, after all, the economic situation in Poland is quite bad, a large number of factories are unsustainable, and there is no new investment at all, and the VCD plant here has become a little green in a thousand flowers.

Therefore, after the inspection and ribbon cutting, Powski cordially met with Mr. William, the representative of the investor, and began to have a private conversation with him......
