Solving the manual problem, Ferdinand was worried again.

How should the development zone be established? What industry is the core of the walk?

It's the end of the 19th century, and it's certainly not the same as the 21st century, and many industries haven't been born yet.

Moreover, Bulgaria is only a small country with a population of about 3.5 million, which is about the same as the population of a city in the previous life.

What real estate economy, Internet economy, high-tech science and technology parks, tourism services all have nothing to do with Bulgaria.

Then the only choice available to Ferdinand is the processing and manufacturing industry! Combined with the current industrial situation in Bulgaria, light industry dominates and heavy industry is still in the pipeline. Moreover, in the light industry, food processing enterprises are the core.

A bunch of food processing factories gathered, and Ferdinand could already think about that scene.

If it is being guided, the first development zone in Bulgaria in the future will be a gathering place for foodies, forming a food city.

Oh, and that's just the beginning! It is easy to build a development zone, Ferdinand can decide with a pat on the head; However, in order to give full play to the role of development zones, it is necessary to consider the problem more comprehensively.

First of all, the transportation should be convenient enough to meet the transportation requirements; Secondly, in terms of security, we must also take into account that the Balkans have always been a "powder keg in Europe", which will blow up at one point, and the threat of war must be considered; Thirdly, human geography, water sources, industrial raw materials, and so on are also essential factors.

After taking stock, Ferdinand found that there are only a few eligible places in Bulgaria!

Then Ferdinand was even busier, looking up the relevant information and trying to convince the top of the government.

After tossing and turning for a few days, Ferdinand was still hesitant about the choice of the development zone, and finally decided to give up and simply throw the trouble to the government.

"Isn't the Konstantin government the most energetic in Bulgarian history? Then if I throw him another development zone, it must not be a problem! Ferdinand thought irresponsibly

Konstantin, who was in the office and reviewing the progress of the First Five-Year Plan, suddenly snorted, "Ah cut".

The assistant knocked on the door, strode forward and said, "Mr. Minister, there has just been a call from the palace, and the Grand Duke has asked you to come over as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing that it was Ferdinand's request, Konstantin put down the document in his hand and said to his assistant as he got up, "Well, I see." You call back and say I'll be there right away! ”

……

Konstantin hurried over, and met Ferdinand in the drawing-room, after a courtesy greeting. Puzzled, he said, "Your Excellency, why are you looking for me so urgently?" ”

Ferdinand smiled and said, "You sit down first, Alice add a cup of coffee to Constantine!" ”

Konstantin did it slowly, but his heart was cold, and he secretly thought: The Grand Duke is so polite, it must be no good thing! Isn't there something wrong with it again!

This is the experience summed up by Konstantin, and it is also a fact recognized by the Bulgarian high-level, every time Ferdinand politely talks to someone about things, it means that the next thing is very troublesome!

If Ferdinand knew that Constantin had arranged him like this, he would definitely have known what the majesty of the king was and what it was to be inviolable.

"Konstantin, did you find that the economic growth rate of Bulgaria has begun to decline recently!" Ferdinand asked in the affirmative

Konstantin was startled, a cold sweat was about to break out, and he was secretly distressed: "What economic growth rate is declining?" Bulgaria's economic growth is not normal in the first place, it is completely dependent on government investment in infrastructure, artificially driven! ”

"Before, the annual growth rate was as high as 20%, which was completely contrary to the laws of the market, well, this is still thanks to the small plate of Bulgaria, which can create this record!"

"Which country in the world can grow at a faster rate than Bulgaria today? Does the Grand Duke want to maintain this rate of growth? No, he must be stopped, and if he continues like this, the government will have to go bankrupt! ”

Konstantin looked at Ferdinand, who was smiling, and seemed to have made up his mind, and said firmly: "Your Excellency, this is normal!" In the first two years, this record was created thanks to the government's heavy investment in infrastructure, which stimulated economic development. ”

"Since the second half of this year, some of the projects in the First Five-Year Plan have been completed one after another. In the later period, government investment will definitely be significantly reduced, and the Bulgarian economy will gradually return to normalization in the future! ”

Ferdinand, of course, was aware of this problem, and now government investment accounts for three tiers of total domestic investment in Bulgaria.

It would be a miracle that Bulgaria's economy would be able to keep growing, let alone sustaining growth, if the government suddenly halted infrastructure investment.

Ferdinand looked at Konstantin and smiled, "You are right, now the Bulgarian economy is prosperous on the surface, but it is actually in crisis on the inside!" ”

"From 1887 to the present, the economy has grown by almost 80 percent. It is unthinkable under normal circumstances, but the price is a huge increase in government spending! ”

"If we don't find a new economic growth point before the end of government investment in infrastructure, the economic crisis will erupt!"

Hearing about the economic crisis, Konstantin was so frightened that cold sweat came out. That's right, once the government's infrastructure works are completed, then all relevant industries will be affected, and there will be no place to resettle the more than 100,000 workers who build roads.

Thinking of this, Konstantin began to regret that the government investment had accelerated the industrialization of Bulgaria, but he did not expect the aftermath to be so serious.

Looking at the soulless Constantine, Ferdinand secretly complained: "Oh no, it's a little too much, it won't happen!" Hell, who knew he wasn't so scared! ”

Ferdinand asked with concern, "Mr. Constantine, are you alright?" ”

"Oh, I'm fine." Konstantin said weakly

Ferdinand looked at the anxious Constantine, and secretly rejoiced in his heart: Fortunately, you don't have a heart attack, otherwise you would have gone to see God with both legs, where would I find the right person to take your class in the short term!

"You don't have to worry too much, the crisis won't break out yet, and in the meantime, we can take steps to find new sources of economic growth!"

Seeing that Ferdinand was confident, Konstantin seemed to have a solution, and hurriedly asked: "Grand Duke, do you have any good way to solve the economic crisis?" ”

Ferdinand thought to himself, of course there is a way, but he can't say it! If I tell you now, I can solve it by starting a war, and I won't scare you to death!

"I intend to establish a development zone to promote economic development!"

Konstantin looked at Ferdinand and asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency, what is the development zone?" ”
