Ferdinand said slowly: "I intend to let the government introduce preferential measures to encourage domestic enterprises to come together to form a huge industrial park, and then drive a new round of development of the domestic economy!" ”

Konstantin asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, this is equivalent to building a city artificially!" But does it really work? Enterprises are scattered all over the country, and they are clustered together, and the total amount has not changed. And in the transportation of raw materials, the cost of many enterprises will increase? ”

Ferdinand patiently said: "This is only on the surface, when a large number of people come together, it will inevitably promote the development of the catering and entertainment industry and increase jobs!" ”

"One of the biggest benefits is that the industry gathers together, which is conducive to promoting the technological innovation of enterprises!"

……

Ferdinand managed to convince Konstantin with great difficulty. Oh, now he is still not optimistic about the development zone, only agrees with common sense, and does not even have the will to let the government invest.

Ferdinand thought about it and didn't say anything, if the government didn't invest, he could invest it himself.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, this is also a profitable business, and real estate development alone is fat enough, and you don't see so many businessmen waving banknotes and rushing to the development zone in later generations.

Running a city is not a difficult task for him, and his own city in the Hungarian fiefdom is not running very well.

Ferdinand was relieved, but Konstantin was worried, although he said that he would try it, in fact, he wanted the development zone to succeed more than anyone else.

As the next prime minister, Konstantin is a change of voice about the economic crisis. As an international student, he had heard a lot about the horrors of the economic crisis. Not to mention destroying a country, at least bringing down one cabinet is easy.

A map of Bulgaria was presented, a meeting of government officials was convened to discuss, and the suburb of Sliven was finally selected after many setbacks.

Sliven is an industrial city in eastern Bulgaria and the capital of Sliven Oblast. It is located at the southern foot of the Baryu mountain range. It has been a strategic location since ancient times.

The city was founded in 1153. It is one of the textile centers of Bulgaria, and in 1834 the first woolen factory in the country was established.

There are wool textiles, silk textiles, textile machinery, machine tool manufacturing, food, wood processing, glass, ceramic industry. There is a library and a museum.

From a security point of view, it is already hundreds of kilometers away from the border line, and it can be defended by relying on the Balkan Mountains; In terms of transportation, the railway has been connected, and it is not far from the port of Burgas, which is convenient for transportation.

By all accounts, Sliven is good. Ferdinand was also satisfied, and later Slim became famous for the abundance of rose oil in the suburbs.

There is also a reason that cannot be said, Ferdinand wanted industry to stay away from Sofia. During the years of rapid economic development, Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, has developed rapidly.

At the same time, it inevitably brings environmental pollution, and now the air quality in Sofia has dropped significantly.

In this year, it is impossible to introduce an environmental protection law, and Ferdinand can only limit the birth of a new factory in Sofia in terms of approval, but there is nothing that can be done about the existing factories.

Now that the opportunity had come, it was just in time to pack them up and send them away, and Ferdinand wanted to live a few more years. In the future, Sofia can be the political center of Bulgaria, it can be a cultural center, it can be an economic center, but it cannot be an industrial center.

The Bulgarian government has created new development zones, which, due to the lack of results, are not of high administrative level, but are only municipal units, directly subordinate to the central government.

As soon as the preferential measures were introduced, the official media of course came out to sing praises without discipline. Oh, the opposition media, alas, they are not mainstream.

The Bulgarian Press Act clearly stipulates that the financial disclosure of the media and the newspaper are jointly and severally liable for the content of the advertisements.

Several newspapers have already paid the price of blood, and the owners and editors of the newspapers have been imprisoned. So now, newspapers are not very interested in advertising, and they all rely on readers to subscribe to get by.

Unfortunately, the Bulgarian market was too small, and many newspapers were forced to close their doors. By the end of 1891, there were fewer than ten newspapers in the country combined, less than a third of what it had been in its heyday.

Public opinion in Bulgaria has become unified, and it is almost impossible for chaotic ideas to spread through newspapers.

The Socialist Workers' Party, which Ferdinand ordered the intelligence services to focus on, is now not even in its infancy.

The main reason, of course, was that in just three years, from 1888 to 1891, the average wages of Bulgarian workers had increased by 20 percent.

There is also the introduction of the labor law, the emergence of overtime pay, and now everyone is busy making money, and there is no interest in social movements, and there is no soil for political parties to survive.

As a result of the previous brutal struggle between the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party, the Bulgarian population was disgusted.

Under the guidance of Ferdinand, anti-party ideology has emerged in Bulgaria, among which the new generation of students is the main force.

The first development zone in Bulgaria was quietly established in a calm place. The first mayor of the development zone was concurrently served by the former mayor of Sliven City, and the officials at all levels were basically the original local officials, and there was no change.

The Sliven Development New Area, which was carved out of Sliven City, seems to have returned to its original system.

From the above, it is enough to see how unpopular the newly established development zone is in the government. Except for a new name and some preferential policies, there are almost no changes in personnel.

No way, now except for Ferdinand, the entire Bulgarian government does not expect much from the new development zone. Everyone tried to keep their influence as low as possible, so as not to fail and end badly.

Looking at the report sent by Konstantin, Ferdinand thought about it and approved it. In order to save money, the government has saved another amount of administrative costs.

Anyway, the infrastructure construction projects of the entire development zone have been contracted by the new district development company just established by Ferrantz.

According to the agreement, the government of Sliven Development Zone packaged 10 square kilometers of land in the whole area to the New District Development Company at a friendly price of 100,000 leva.

Including the investment and construction in the early stage, municipal service management, and investment promotion in the later stage, all of which are the tasks of the new district development company.

And not only that, according to the agreement. The development of the new area must also ensure that the total assets of the new area exceed 100 million leva and the population exceeds 50,000 within five years.

If it fails, the development company will be liable for liquidated damages of 3 million leva, and the new district government will have the right to acquire the property in the development zone at a discount.

It's like an empty glove white wolf, and the government transfers all the risks to the development companies. If successful, the government can continue to expand the area of the new area and develop it around; If it fails, the development company will pay anyway, and there will be liquidated damages.

Fortunately, the development company is Ferdinand's, otherwise it is estimated that no one would dare to sign this contract. Although the profit after success is very large, once there is an accident in any link, pulling back is a bamboo basket for nothing.
