Chapter 322: Economic Occupation

China's telecommunications enterprises entered the telecommunications field of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region and successfully squeezed out the telecommunications system left over from the Soviet Union without much effort, and the political axe of the special zone will not pay for the losses of any enterprise, and the telecommunications enterprises of the Soviet Union have no choice but to withdraw from the telecommunications market of the special zone. The telecommunications market in the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region has become monopolized by Chinese telecommunications companies.

Small. Brightly colored and new-style button-type telephones replaced the old-fashioned black rotary telephones of the Soviet Union, and entered thousands of households in the Special Administrative Region. The arrival of the Chinese made the dream of ordinary Soviet people here who did not even dare to think of installing a telephone in their own home became a reality. Even if you have a big prejudice about China, you can't say what's wrong with that.

The BB machine has become the most awesome and fashionable personal communication equipment in the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, and a pager on the waistband of the trousers, especially the BB machine with text display, will immediately attract the envy of the people around you if you call a few times in a public place. Waist shoulder bb machine, this person is really good, there is no doubt that he must be a social elite. In order to win the admiration of everyone, even though it takes 2-3 months' salary for the average Soviet person to buy a BB machine, it still needs to be equipped for the sake of personal "dignity".

If you are equipped with a big brick-type big brother mobile phone with an analog signal that is expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary people, it will be even more bullish. The vast majority is a symbol of your status and status, and the members of the "Tide Stall" working in the Soviet Union, regardless of gender, are all top cattle people with BB machines on their waists and big brother mobile phones in their hands.

"Now that the SAR is in the era of "informatization", how can we do it without "Big Brother". "The directors of large Soviet enterprises and managers of large companies, whether useful or not, used this as an excuse to buy one, and even though the telephone bill per minute was an hour's wage of an ordinary Soviet worker, they still carried it wherever they went, even when they went to the bathroom. In public, you have nothing to do for a few minutes, in order to show your identity as a brave leader, a pioneer and an extraordinary person.

The Western Siberian Special Administrative Region now completely eliminates the need for the production of all kinds of weapons and military equipment. A small number of light armored vehicles and light weapons and equipment used in public security were purchased through tenders from the political axes of China and the Soviet Union. As for the Soviet Union's military factories in the SEZs, those who remain here are required to pay the SAR political axes land use lease fees in accordance with the provisions of the Basic Law of the SAR, and the enterprises are required to pay taxes every year in accordance with the regulations. After the Soviet Union withdrew some of the main equipment and personnel of these military factories, the rest was converted to civilian production, because the Soviet military industrial enterprises have always carried out the production of the directive surname, the enterprise is only a production unit, and there is no supply and marketing link at all. What do you let it turn to the people? Where are the raw materials? Who is it produced and sold to? No one can do any of this. Looking for the Soviet political axe, the Soviet political axe will not solve it for a while. If you look for the political axe of the special zone, the political axe of the special zone will be even more difficult to manage. "Since the Basic Law came into effect, I have only been in charge of collecting money and exercising administrative control over the SAR. Soviet-funded enterprises carried the political axe of the Soviet Union. ”

In the end, the Chinese are kind, and they can't watch these Soviet proletarian class brothers laid off and unemployed. As a result, China gave these enterprises some of the inconsequential military spare parts and some supporting parts of some large-scale projects to maintain production, and transferred some civilian technology to them to compensate for the loss of Soviet property in the Far East. In the end, after the negotiation between China and the Soviet Union, part of the high-quality assets of this part of the enterprise was taken out and jointly ventured with China, and the rest was handled by the Soviet government itself, and finally this part of the assets could only be sold to China at a low level. For some of the proprietary equipment produced by the military industry, China does not want it, only when the scrap steel is recycled. Some of them should be transformed for the production of civilian products. But it's still cost-effective, after all, the Soviet Union also sold to China at the price of scrap steel.

China's foreign trade enterprises and commercial enterprises are actively seizing the opportunity of leading products to enter the market, strengthening the market share of Chinese products and the profitability of enterprises in the market of the West Siberian Special Economic Zone, giving more prominence to the innovation of business models and breakthroughs in the markets of the Western Siberian Special Economic Zone and the Soviet Union. It also promoted the West Siberian Special Economic Zone to the Soviet republics and the socialist countries of Eastern Europe.

Each country has bought several sets of Chinese-made television broadcasting equipment. Color televisions have found their way into the living rooms of the homes of the heads of the party, government, and military at all levels in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and refrigerators have also found their way into the kitchens of some Soviet elites in Chinese-funded enterprises and Sino-Soviet joint ventures in the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region. The tape-style "Walkman" is a must-have for the avant-garde youth of the Western Siberian SAR.

The semi-automatic washing machine produced in China in Western Siberia has become the most favored household appliance in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, and of course every housewife in Western Siberia, even if you don't eat or drink for two months.

The assembly lines of China's "Blue Sky" series of business and family cars were built in the West Siberian Special Economic Zone, and parts produced by some state-owned enterprises in the former Soviet Special Economic Zone were continuously transported to the assembly plant for assembly. These cars were used exclusively for export and became the first choice for political procurement in the Soviet Union and various Eastern European countries, and family cars were mainly exported to European countries through Eastern Europe.

The arrival of the Chinese brought about a qualitative change in the tertiary industry in the West Siberian Special District. The city's commercial outlets are developing rapidly. More than 50 trading enterprises in China have entered the Special Economic Zone, and the "Zhonglian Supermarket" group under the Ministry of Commerce of China has set up more than 300 supermarkets and more than 2,000 franchise stores in major cities in the West Siberian Special Economic Zone, bringing together tens of thousands of wonderful commodities in China in the "Zhonglian Supermarket". Visiting the "Zoomlion Supermarket" became the main leisure activity of the Soviets in the Special Administrative Region. In particular, Soviet women regarded wandering in the dazzling world of commodities as the greatest enjoyment of life, and "never tired of shopping". Admire these beautifully packaged and high-quality Chinese goods. Made in China, whether it is clothing, shoes, hats, bags, all show people full of novelty and avant-garde ahead of the times. The dazzling variety of cosmetics and vanity boxes made these Soviet ladies even more dizzy. Visiting the supermarket is often a matter of lingering. Even if you are short of money, you should buy a few bags of instant noodles to make dinner for yourself or your family. In what to say, this is not Chinese food.

In supermarkets, Chinese-made household appliances attracted the attention of the Soviets with their unique charm, attracting many supermarket visitors to stop and watch, and color TVs are always the most lively place in supermarkets. There were always a lot of people watching TV programs, because this was still too expensive for ordinary workers in the Soviet Union, as well as the color television sets that were popularized in China. Whenever someone buys a color TV, the surrounding onlookers will cast envious glances and whisper admiration at him. Then, I fell into a vision for the future, and I was determined to work hard, and it was best to find a part-time job in my spare time to earn more RMB, and I would move the color TV home as soon as possible. I must buy a color TV that is bigger than him.

China has not only transformed the industrial and tertiary industries of the West Siberian Special Administrative Region, but has also carried out comprehensive development of agriculture, and the new wheat variety "Longjiang 198" with high yield, high quality, stress resistance and low plant has been widely popularized in this region, and has achieved great success. In one fell swoop, the grain problem of Western Siberia was solved, and a large number of exports were exported to the Soviet Union, so that the Soviet grain problem was also solved, but the premise of this solution was not to make the Chinese angry, otherwise it would feed the pigs and not buy you.

Historically, the reason why the development of Siberian agriculture failed in the Khrushchev era was that Khrushchev did not act according to objective laws; when he visited the United States in 1959, he saw that the United States was planting corn in a large area, and after his return, he mobilized the forces of the whole country to carry out large-scale reclamation in Siberia to grow corn. Due to the short frost-free period in Siberia, it is not suitable for the production of corn at all. Instead of solving the food problem in the Soviet Union, all of this seriously damaged the ecological environment of the region. China has paid special attention to this issue in the agricultural development of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region.

In the course of China's agricultural development, a number of modern large-scale chicken farms, dairy farms, pig farms, feed factories and large-scale modern deep processing plants for agricultural and sideline products have been established in the West Siberian Special Economic Zone. At the same time, some modern agricultural techniques will be taught to the people of the Special Administrative Region here.

China's construction of modern factories in the Special Economic Zone, the rise of high-rise buildings, the prosperity of the markets in the cities of the Special Economic Zone, and the stability of prices have established a good national image for China in the Western Siberian Special Economic Zone. The former Soviet citizens in the SAR felt a huge gap between themselves and the interior of the Soviet Union, where you were the only one who could do your job in peace, bread, beer, color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. As long as they are corrupt and exploit their privileges, they will be reported to the SAR Anti-Corruption Office, and once it is verified, the SAR organs will never hire them, and if they are serious, they will be shot regardless of the nationality of the original country.

So the original Soviets in the Western Siberian SAR were proud to be a member of the SAR. The Soviet people who have received higher education here are free to choose to study and further their studies in China and the Soviet Union, but the vast majority of them choose to study in China, and those who have studied well can apply to become Chinese citizens as special talents. The temptation is just too great.

Practice has proved that the establishment of a special administrative region jointly administered by China and the Soviet Union in this vast western Siberian region between the two big powers is very important for easing the contradictions between China and the Soviet Union, enhancing friendly exchanges and communication between the Chinese and Soviet peoples, and enabling the two peoples to live in harmony. We should increase the development and utilization of this region and promote the prosperity and social stability of this region. In order to achieve long-term peace and stability on the border between the two countries, this decision is undoubtedly correct.

After the formation of the Western Siberian Special Administrative Region, the PLA guerrillas of the nationalities led by the Soviet [***] liberation front, which were active in the region, disappeared. Calm was restored, and some of the guerrillas were relocated to Chinese-funded enterprises and to the Tyumen oil fields or to modern Chinese-run farms. There are also those who participate in the organization of political power at all levels in the Western Siberian SAR. If you really don't want to stay here, you can become a Chinese citizen and arrange work all over China. Enjoy the same treatment as demobilized officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army.

Chinese The Chinese nation, who have endured hardships and suffered from wars, know very well that peace is precious, and that it is the happiest thing to recover the territory and wealth lost in the past without the means of war. The Chinese people, like building their own motherland, are wholeheartedly building the West Siberian Special Zone. We are committed to building a new society that is peaceful, stable, and prosperous.

The Far East Special Working Committee headed by Deng Feng was well aware that the transformation of the West Siberian Special Zone could not satisfy the superficial harmony, and that there was still a long way to go before the West Siberian Special Zone could truly be built into a buffer zone between China and the Soviet Union. It is by no means easy to conquer the nation of Lao Maozi from the psychology, the real conquest is the cultural conquest, and there is a sense of identity with the Chinese culture, which is a heavy and long way to go, and it is a gradual process.

What is culture? Culture is a group of thoughts, concepts, behaviors, customs, habits and all activities radiated from the overall consciousness of the group formed in a certain period of time. It is people's needs and requirements, ideals and aspirations for life, people's high-level spiritual life, and the framework for people's spirit to be supported. Every culture contains an idea and a theory, a way and a way of being.

No matter who they are or what kind of social form exists, they must be entrusted with their spirit, and they must find a way and method that is most suitable for their own survival. The need is the reality, the ideal is the yearning, the wish is what is wanted, and the requirement is the must.

The Western Siberian Special Region can be said to be a multicultural world, where the two countries of China and the Soviet Union are concentrated, and there are many people of different nationalities and different cultural backgrounds. They need to communicate, seek consensus, and strengthen cooperation. What China should do is to strive to integrate with people from different countries, nationalities, and cultural backgrounds to build this vast region into a peaceful, friendly, prosperous, and progressive society. Become a buffer zone for the clash of cultures between East and West, a buffer zone for geopolitical security that is needed between the two great powers, China and the Soviet Union.
