Chapter 60 Three-Year Plan
ps: Thank you for the reward that you keep alone, and ask for another recommendation and collection!
On the second day of his visit to NORD, the US Secretary of State appeared at the NORD Light and Heavy Industry Joint Conference to explain the development of US light and heavy industry, and at the same time did not forget to sign several trade contracts.
Of course, none of this was what the Secretary of State wanted to do, what he wanted was to talk to Joseph or James about the EU, but apparently neither of them gave him that opportunity.
Nord Royal Bank began a new round of busyness, Nord's foreign exchange savings have reached 10 billion dollars, really 10 billion dollars, but unfortunately Joseph is not too happy about this, because he wants the euro that belongs to Nord instead of the dollar that is full of crisis.
The NORD Financial and Monetary Union has been proposing to rebuild Nord's own currency, and Joseph, who understands the future course, naturally chooses to refuse, which the Financial and Monetary Union is very disappointed and helpless.
The Financial and Monetary Union is a non-governmental organization, and its main members are composed of the head of the NORD Exchange, the editor of the financial section of the NORD Daily, the president and vice president of the NORD Bank, and the vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce. The emergence of this organization was actually due to the disapproval of the official Joseph, and they went to the private sector to hold a referendum, which was intended to let Josef see the determination of the Nord citizens.
Eighty percent of the citizens want Nord to have their own currency Joseph did see it, but his heart did not change, because it was obviously not necessary!
Of course, the busy business of Nord Royal Bank is not the matter of saving 10 billion dollars in remittances, nor is it the matter of currency that harasses them, in fact, naturally after Joseph rejected them for the second time, these people's enthusiasm has been reduced a lot. The real busyness of the Royal Bank is the matter of gold reserves, after all, the gold mines are now in the hands of the Nord Bank, including mining.
Joseph didn't pay attention to the matter of gold, he was concerned about the domestic oil price, Nord itself produces oil and resources can be said to be almost unlimited, and the amount is not much, in this case, Joseph has been proposing to sell vehicle oil at a low price in the country.
"Your Highness, since February of this year, the number of vehicles in NORD has grown to a thousand, and although the industrial area and suburbs are now being developed, it is ......"
Small countries are not good at this, the floor area is very important, and there are many parking spaces that are inevitably needed for more vehicles, and it is not suitable to build them, and building will waste land, which really makes Joseph a little embarrassed.
"You mean on par with international oil prices?"
"Now that oil prices have not come down, if we restore the national oil price, then the growth of vehicles will inevitably slow down a lot, and even I propose to increase the vehicle purchase tax and parking tax."
Although he felt that this was inappropriate, but considering the pollution of the environment and the size of Nord's country, Joseph finally agreed to the request of Smith, the Secretary of State for Home Affairs.
Smith wanted to leave when he got the answer he wanted, but at this time Joseph remembered something and hurriedly called out to him: "What are your plans for the development of industrial areas and suburbs next year?" ”
Exploitation? Joseph's words made Smith a little stunned, but he quickly remembered that there was no development plan for Nord to buy a large amount of French land and get back the land that originally belonged to Nord, but didn't these need to wait two years?
"It is estimated that there will be news about the EU in the next two years, and I hope that when I go in, Nord will be an economic power, at least there will be a new breakthrough compared to now."
The strength of the economy represents the status of Nord, and the EU is just a talisman, but Joseph hopes that he can gain the right to speak in it, not to mention that Britain, France, Germany and Italy cannot at least have less say than Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands and the like.
"But we need a lot of money to develop and build, and the current treasury is ......."
It is true that the Principality of Nord has money, but now everything is supported by the Audi company, and more than half of the 10 billion US dollars of the Nord Royal Bank is the working capital of the Audi company, which can see the shortcomings of the economy of the Principality of Nord. And this money is also comparative, and it is not very useful for the construction of suburbs and industrial areas.
Most of the land purchased from France is wooded areas, for which Joseph is not prepared to destroy, and the establishment of a primeval forest park is also a good tourist attraction.
Of course, the suburbs will not all be turned into forest parks, which is too luxurious for Nord, which lacks land, and the film city is Joseph's new project, but the investment in this project is too large to be billions of dollars, and this is still the case when the project is started as the Grand Duke of Nord.
IT, movies are the mainstream of the future, imagine the sales of a certain treasure, and then look at the investment and income of a movie, even if it is to grab money or even sell prohibited items, it can't compare to this income!
Of course, these are not what Joseph wants to talk about now, or in a word, the treasury of the Duchy of Nord has no money, and he can't afford to play with these things at all, what he can play is to encourage Nord citizens to start businesses and add a few more small processing plants.
"Listing, financing, loans! What I want is for the next three years to start a full business in the Principality of Nord, and what I hope to see is that in three years there will be more than 1,000 factories in NORD and an annual GDP of 3 billion US dollars.
With a population of just over 10,000 citizens (not counting laborers), it would be almost a miracle if the GDP could reach $3 billion.
The per capita output reaches 300,000 US dollars, which is not the US dollar in the world, but very few, especially at the national level, such a result is really miraculous, maybe there are cities in the United States, Europe and even the East that have reached 300,000 US dollars per capita, but it is a city with the help of the state, unlike the Nord principality.
Smith left the palace half an hour later, taking with him both Joseph's will and orders, and it is conceivable that there will be a start-up boom in Nord for some time to come.
"Tax exemption for three years, without any collateral, the Principality of Nord can obtain a low-interest loan of 3,000 to 30,000 US dollars based on moral indicators, and a labor contribution of 1 million US dollars can apply for immigration to NORD."
Contribution refers to economic output, and if nothing else, the highest-paid Audi employees only need to work hard for seven or eight years to reach the immigration target, which is a very exciting benefit for workers staying in Nord.
At the same time, there are a large number of European and American citizens who are excited, they did not catch up with the first low-interest loan, and most of the loan citizens at that time have a net worth of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they don't want to miss the opportunity in front of them.
The only hesitant may be the Chinese, they live in different environments after all, borrowing money is borrowing money, according to the Eastern thinking, borrowing money is always bad, especially if you are short of money. Of course, not all Chinese people think this way, but only most of them.
With Joseph's deliberate balance, Nord now has a population of more than 14,000 people, of which only 30 percent are Chinese, and this proportion is gradually shrinking.
This result was not actually Joseph's will, and the cabinet analyzed the situation in Europe to Joseph, understanding that a large number of Chinese would cause dissatisfaction in the surrounding countries, so they gave up on allowing a large number of Chinese workers to emigrate.
There is an interesting phenomenon in the Nord principality now, the German people are interested in business and scientific research, the Chinese people are more focused on politics, and the immigrants from Eastern Europe and some other countries prefer to work leisurely and easily, of course, to put it bluntly, lazy work.
Now Nord also has some blacks and South Americans, and although they have not yet shown their interest, Joseph has categorized them, and they must be the hope of Nord sports in the future.
Don't underestimate sports, it is an important way to bring international prestige, popularity, and influence to a country, at least Joseph has never underestimated it.
Golf and horse racing are all aristocratic sports, and Joseph is a nobleman, because the new palace naturally has these things, and the matter is over, Joseph naturally wants to relax.
The U.S. Secretary of State had left and was busy starting a business outside, and when no one was harassing him for the time being, Joseph swung and scored, and looked at the sunset that began to slowly set, and shouted a little tiredly: "Joanna, bring Siqi here." ”
Siqi is the name of the little male lion, and Joanna has been raising it all these days, but Joseph is its owner after all, and it is still Joseph who is the main obedient person.
The male lion cub lives very well in Nord, and has grown up a lot in a few months, of course, there are at least five or six years before mating......
