Foreign trade minister of the Soviet Union went to London to promote Leningrad special economic zone plan

Leningrad Special Economic Zone, a new measure of Soviet reform

Message from the foreign trade minister of the Soviet Union: willing to share the reform achievements of the Soviet Union with Europe

……

Xie liaosha came to London with a huge plan, and with Xie liaosha's arrival, all the capitalists in the financial city of London were agitated by the news, competing to invite Xie liaosha. The reason why he is so popular is thanks to the reform and opening-up policy of China, a neighboring country of the Soviet Union, which set a good precedent for the SEZs. It makes Leningrad Special Economic Zone particularly attractive.

At present, there is no country in the world that is broader than the Soviet Union and has more resources than the Soviet Union. Moreover, the industrial base of the Soviet Union is many times better than that of China. When such a red giant put down his arms and began to learn to do business, most investors around the world believed that the Soviet Union would succeed. So just before ulyanov arrived in London, the Ministry of foreign trade and economic cooperation of the Soviet Union and the Bank of foreign trade of the Soviet Union had already released news to the media through various channels. For a while, various economists began to analyze how much changes the Soviet Union's Leningrad special economic zone would bring to the whole European economy. The Soviet Union has nearly 300 million people, and the consumption and purchasing power of these 300 million people is much stronger than that of a country like China. After all, China has just basically solved the problem of food and clothing, while the Soviet Union has popularized refrigerators, The developed countries of TV and tape recorder are pursuing a richer life. The goals of the two countries clearly show the differences between the two countries.

According to his plan, when he arrives in London, he will first attend the buffet hosted by the London Bankers Association. After all, he has the status of a foreign member of the British Bankers Association. Moreover, in the eyes of most British media, he was a senior official who knew the most about market economy in the Soviet Union. In his speech at the cold dinner party, he put forward an amazing financing plan to the British financial sector. In order to build the Leningrad Special Economic Zone, the Soviet government decided to issue 500 billion US dollars of ten-year Soviet government bonds on the British open market, with interest of about 5%, all in US dollars, The financing plan alone has set a record in Europe in recent years. Moreover, because the Soviet Union's foreign debt repayment record is very good, and there has never been any debt default or overdue, most of the financial institutions in the United Kingdom have rated this batch of Soviet bonds AAA, which means that the security of this batch of Soviet bonds is the highest in the world, and under such high security, they also have such high interest rates, It is the ideal investment target for large financial institutions. After all, the interest rate of U.S. debt is only a few percentage points or even lower. Therefore, many financial institutions are inspired by the news and want to take advantage of this trend and make a lot of money.

In fact, Xie liaosha knows very well that the land of Leningrad special economic zone has not yet been demarcated, and there is nothing in the regulations, staffing, budget, short-term, medium-term and long-term planning of this special economic zone. It's almost a piece of white paper. When Xie liaosha came to London, he just brought a plan similar to the PPT of later generations. Most of the plans are pictures, even few words. It can be said that he came to London to cover up the White Wolf empty handed. But for his role as a Soviet minister and the Soviet government behind him, the whole plan would be no different from fraud. In the final analysis, this is a big and shocking scam fabricated by seryosha. Once it is exposed, the ultimate victim is the European banking industry, and the Soviet government gets nothing but one debt after another that can't be paid off.

But now he wants to weave a dream of wealth for European banking. As a result, he began to attend various financial activities in London frequently. Although the European economy has recovered, its growth is still sluggish. The United States, the engine of the world economy, has been out of steam for many years. Although Japan's economy is developing rapidly, its market is extremely exclusive, and its product competitiveness is so huge, In fact, the positive impact on European countries is far less than the negative impact, and seryosa's reform plan seems to let the whole Europe see a rocket engine of economic growth that is about to take off. In his speeches again and again, he described to investors that the economic reform of the Soviet Union would bring more positive stimulus to Europe. Lending money to the Soviet Union, and then using the economic growth of the Soviet Union to drive the economic growth of the whole Europe, and at the same time using the rich natural resources of the Soviet Union to solve the supply of energy and production raw materials in the European market, is a perfect combination. The most important thing is that once the economic exchanges between the Soviet Union and Europe become more and more frequent, the iron curtain will be broken, The days of harmonious development in Europe are just around the corner.

With such a bright vision, European banks are confident and confident in the prospects described by Mr. seryosa. The British government is also very interested in shagliaosha's plan. Over the past few years, Britain has been trying to reshape its position as the economic center of Europe. The 500 billion yuan financing scale is definitely the largest financing plan in the world in the past decade, and it is guaranteed by the national reputation of the Soviet Union, a superpower, Putting this financing plan in the UK is of great benefit to the city of London's status as an international financial center.

Unfortunately, it is not only the British who have thought of this. During his meeting with Prime Minister Thatcher, he did not take the initiative to promise anything, because he hoped that the British government would provide more preferential terms. But as soon as he left the prime minister's residence at 10 Downing Street, the French ambassador immediately called him and asked to visit him the next day.

For the opportunity to come, Xie liaosha naturally will not shirk. Anyway, cheating one is cheating, cheating two is cheating. In this case, if a fish takes the initiative to bite, it will be better to have more. So he invited the French ambassador to his residence the next day.

Early the next morning, the French ambassador to the UK took his economic counselors to the hotel where he lived. They had no contact before, so they exchanged greetings for a while. When the topic got to the point, the French ambassador asked seryosa carefully about the plan of the Leningrad special economic zone. Seryosa noticed that the Economic Counselor of the French Embassy kept recording in his notebook, as if he wanted to write down every word seryosa said.

After he finished what he wanted to say, the French ambassador asked respectfully, I wonder if minister uriyanov has any intention of accepting French investors to participate in this huge plan of your country?
