Chapter 290: Olympic Host City

In 1996, the global economy exploded, and the GDP of the Nord Kingdom reached 6,000 euros, ranking tenth in the world, ahead of Canada and followed by Spain. That's right, the economy of the Nord Kingdom finally caught up with Spain at the end of 1996.

If the economic growth rate of the Nord Kingdom in recent years has been very fast, then Huaxia can no longer be described as fast, with more than 800 billion euros Huaxia has entered the top ten ranking seventh and is still rising.

The Nord kingdom has such a large economic development mainly due to the rise of the IT industry and the steady improvement of the heavy industry, especially the oil industry, almost monopolizing the entire European import of oil to reach 15 million barrels per day, accounting for 21% of the world's share, Nord Royal Petroleum Company's annual income reached 200 billion euros.

NORD Royal Petroleum Company is ready to start researching new energy, although it will not ban oil, but to minimize the environmental pollution caused by automobile and aviation emissions.

In February 1997, the Nord Kingdom officially announced that a substitute between new energy and oil has appeared, for the new oil, adding some special chemical raw materials to the original oil, which will reduce the environmental pollution by 60%, and this number is still increasing.

The official of the Nord Kingdom said that if it can reach 90% or even 100% in the future, then the Nord Kingdom will cancel the research on new energy, which undoubtedly makes the countries that began to study % of new energy very embarrassed, but thinking about the fact that oil is limited, the countries finally decided to continue on this road.

Pity...... They don't know the situation in the Nord Kingdom, and the end result of persevering in this way is that the new energy they have spent a lot of effort to develop is likely to be useless.

The new oil does not need to make any changes to the car and passenger aircraft, and the new oil can be directly injected, which makes the Nord Royal Petroleum Company highly praised, and some countries in the United States and Canada have also visited the Nord Kingdom to prepare for friendly negotiations according to the oil imports.

The construction of Western Sahara is almost complete, railways and highways connect cities and towns, and the lives of residents are becoming more and more perfect. Schools, hospitals, shops, supermarkets, and even some wealthy towns have Audi 4S stores.

Through cooperation with automobile companies in Japan and EU countries, Audi AG has become the world's largest automobile company, accounting for 23% of the global automobile market, with an annual revenue of more than 100 billion euros, ranking among the top three of the world's top 500 companies.

Compared with the industrial industry and the resource industry, although the IT industry of the Nord Kingdom has strong potential, it has not yet exploded to the status of the two, with Microsoft and Apple still on the third tier of the Nord Kingdom's economy at 50 billion euros and 46 billion euros respectively.

The increase in the economy is naturally accompanied by an increase in the salaries of citizens, according to statistics, in 1997 the average annual salary of citizens in the Nord Kingdom has reached 23. 000, the salary of workers has also reached 15,00018,000, which is the main reason why the Nord Kingdom is still very popular with workers from all over the world.

The price of land in the Nord Kingdom has not increased much, except for the repeated increase in the price of some luxury villas, the price of ordinary apartments and high-end apartments has been steadily increasing, and with the reduction of costs in the electronics industry, more and more people have excess money to return to the life they lived a few years ago.

The period of economic development of the citizens of the Nord Kingdom was very surplus before the advent of the Internet age. In the early days of the Internet era, fiscal constraints were tight, and in the medium term, the surplus easing is now before it is restored.

Before the advent of the Internet, citizens just wanted to eat and have a little entertainment, and if they had less money, they could walk around the Nord Kingdom, and if they had more money, they would have traveled. This is their daily life.

Needless to say, luxury goods are usually bought when appropriate, and several famous casinos (towns) in Western Sahara will also be frequented.

But everything is different when the Internet age comes, with electronic devices worth up to the front of euros and genuine game licenses worth tens of euros. These bits and pieces add up to a lot of entanglement and distress for Nord citizens.

Purchase...... It is estimated that next month will have a hard life, but it is uncomfortable to sleep if you don't buy it, which makes the citizens of the Nord Kingdom very financially nervous during that time.

1996 was a year of welfare. At least for gaming enthusiasts, as there have been a lot of technological breakthroughs this year, and some of the things that were selling 1,200 last year are now only selling for 900. Although it is only 300 euros off, 300 euros is enough to buy more than a dozen favorite games, which makes the citizens of the Nord Kingdom simply ecstatic.

Forehead...... Or not all, at least some of the parents who need to pay for it are not very satisfied, but they really can't refuse their children's pursuits.

Economically, in 1996, the Nord Kingdom achieved great success, and politically, the Nord Kingdom has added several seats in the major parliaments of the European Union, and at the same time, the United Nations has become more and more important, but because of the hegemony of the US imperialism, there is not much difference between these voices and not.

The Nord Kingdom, the peacekeeping army, was very active, and the Nord Kingdom in Africa also gained considerable benefits, and Marceau's visit to Mauritania gave the Nord Kingdom a great voice in Mauritania, and the influence of the Nord Kingdom began to spread throughout Mauritania.

Thirty percent of the generals of the Mauritanian military come from the Nord Kingdom, and there is no need to mention more armaments, which simply shows that the number of the Nord Kingdom's influence army has reached more than 300,000 at this time, including 60,000 Mauritanian defense forces.

Aziz has left the Kingdom of Morocco, and he has gone to Algeria to organize an armed force of more than 6,000 people, and three cities are his new territories, where he may take his crown in the future, but at the same time it is possible that Algeria will destroy them.

Because of its relationship with Algeria, it was not convenient for the Nord Kingdom to finance Aziz, only on the basis of some help from him in armaments, but even this caused Algeria to be dissatisfied.

The world is peaceful, a little war can not affect the essence of peace at this time, diplomacy has gradually become the mainstream, but diplomacy also needs to have a strong comprehensive national strength as the foundation, the Nord Kingdom has always done a good job.

Compared with Joseph's busyness, Joseph's children are very relaxed and happy, except for Charlie, after all, he is the future crown prince of the Nord Kingdom, and he can't be easy for anyone.

Although he is only seven years old, he has already begun to help with some simple official duties, especially those related to the European Union, because in the future, if the Nord Kingdom wants to continue to develop, it can only seek more seats in the European Union.

Charlie is also worthy of Joseph's expectations, and he is indeed a good seedling of a politician, and he handles EU affairs in an orderly manner, although most of them are due to the foreign minister, but some of his achievements cannot be erased.

The 3D projection technology of the Nord Kingdom has made a big breakthrough, and it is ready to have a nationwide seaside projection carnival in June 1997, which is a national entertainment activity, and 300,000 citizens of the Nord Kingdom are eligible to participate.

In 1997, the United Nations had a new secretary-general, the United States had its first female secretary of state, the euro issued debt bonds for the first time, the permanent constitution of South Africa came into effect, the 300-year-old apartheid system was abolished, the youngest prime minister of the United Kingdom took office, New Zealand had its first female prime minister, and the port city returned to China!

If none of this has much to do with the Nord Kingdom, then the World Health Organization's opposition to the sale of drugs on the Internet has caused some harm to the online store branch of Microsoft. However, the World Health Organization has a very good reason, and even if the Microsoft online store wants to refuse, it cannot find a reason, and the two sides delay and argue about it.

If the online mall incident made Joseph have some regrets, then the Nord Kingdom was completely stunned by the selection of the host city for the 2004 Olympic Games.

The Nord Kingdom is a new kingdom, although it has always enjoyed high standards of treatment in the economic and military fields, but it cannot be denied that he has no background and no very good cultural beliefs, and his application to host the 2004 Olympic Games was just a casual mention, but now it is ......

The shock was followed by a dispute, a dispute in the Nord cabinet, in which Smith, the prime minister of the Nord kingdom who was re-elected for the second term, proposed that it be held in Nord itself, while the Minister of the Interior, Morris, and the governor of Western Sahara, Marceau, proposed that it be organized by Western Sahara.

"Although Nord itself has a relatively high economy, it is not a good place to host the Olympic Games, and if it is placed in Western Sahara, I can guarantee that it will build an Olympic city."

"Ms. Marceau, please pay attention to the financial expenditure, the cabinet has a lot of projects that are still being planned, and it is impossible to contribute too much money."

"With a total investment of 30 billion euros, this is not only the Olympic Games in the future, but also the development of the Nord kingdom into a sports power, we should have our own sports city, and Western Sahara is the most suitable."

Spending hundreds of millions of euros to host the Olympics is not worth it, but if an Olympic (sports) city is built as a result, it will be world-renowned, and the annual tourist expenses alone will be enough to compensate for the expenditure, even if it will be a decade or even twenty years.

"30 billion euros, the cabinet does not have this budget, the only thing that can be allocated is only 2 billion euros, and you need to figure out the rest yourself."

Smith was retreating, but he didn't know that Marceau had been preparing for this day for a long time, although she didn't predict that the Nord Kingdom would successfully apply for the Olympics.

"We, the government of Western Sahara, will invest 12 billion euros, and the rest will be borrowed from the royal family."

"12 billion euros, how can the government of Western Sahara be so rich?"

Smith was stunned for a moment, but then he realized that Marceau must have taken out a loan from the Royal Bank, otherwise the government of Western Sahara would not have been able to raise this huge amount of money.

Royal Loan ...... If he still has some trouble, but for Marceau, who was born as a servant of the royal family, it is difficult? (To be continued......)
