v2 Chapter 35： , Results

Of course, Bulgaria’s industry is still dominated by light-duty industries, and agricultural products processing companies are the most prominent.

There are 84 agricultural products processing enterprises across the country, accounting for 25% of the total number of enterprises. There are 8 processing enterprises with assets exceeding 5 million lev. Its total output value accounts for 35.4% of the total industrial output value, and the flour mill ranks first in the food industry.

However, the monopoly economy still dominates. Ferdinand’s Shuanghui Food Group, a company that accounts for more than 70% of the output value, almost monopolizes all exports!

Machinery manufacturing is still Bulgaria’s biggest shortcoming! Except for the "Bulgarian Machinery Factory" that Ferdinand created, no one can take the shot.

The few remaining machinery factories are lack of market competitiveness due to a single product. Even if the Bulgarian government has already exempted taxes, they are still struggling to survive.

In contrast, Ferdinand’s Bulgarian Machinery Plant is much more outstanding, and it is already a comprehensive machinery manufacturing group.

can basically copy the world's major machinery, such as textile machines, silk machines, most steam engines and other products, the quality has been in line with international standards!

even made a car, but it has not been able to market it, either because the cost is too high, or the performance is too poor to be competitive in the market!

At the same time, Bulgaria Machinery Plant is also the largest spare parts manufacturer and supplier in Southeast Europe, with a market share of about 53.5%. The machinery factory can proudly announce that there are no parts in this world that they cannot imitate!

By the end of 1895, Bulgaria had more than 9,800 kilometers of railways and 15,000 kilometers of highways. The main trunk lines have basically been completed. Although the level of traffic is not as good as Western Europe, it is far from the top in Southeast Europe.

In the field of basic education, Ferdinand can proudly announce that Bulgaria is already at the top level in the world! Although there is no compulsory education, it is almost the same. Bulgaria's primary school enrollment rate has reached 96.6%.

The enrollment rate of 　　 middle school has reached an astonishing 20.4%, surpassing the great powers and ranking first in the world! (History is the world's first)

Of course, higher-level education, Bulgaria is still far from the big powers. There is only one science university in the whole country, supplemented by more than ten vocational education colleges, which is all the high-level education in Bulgaria!

It's not Ferdinand who doesn't want to open more universities. It is really a university professor of this year. They are precious everywhere. It is not easy to get the teachers of Bulgarian universities!

Between quality and quantity, Ferdinand did not hesitate to choose quality. If the quantity is not enough, use a technical school to get it together!

Anyway, the main purpose of Bulgarian University is to cultivate cutting-edge talents. With the population base of Bulgaria, the number of enrollment of five or six hundred people per year basically eliminates the talents!

Compared with the pitiful 2,000 undergraduates in Bulgaria, vocational colleges are much larger, with more than 38,000 teachers and students.

Among them, the factory commissioned training personnel accounted for a considerable proportion! Since it is to train engineers, the requirements are of course much lower!

Compared with education, Bulgaria lags far behind in the development of the medical field. At the end of the 19th century, there were not many advanced medical devices, and doctors could not rely on mechanical inspections to treat diseases, but mostly rely on experience.

Therefore, the training cycle of doctors is much longer. Unlike the doctors trained in the later four or five years, there is no ten or eight years of study in this era, so don't want to be a teacher!

Due to the lack of adequate doctors, Ferdinand can do nothing. The short-term measures are still to organize local doctors and conduct short-term training. How much can be improved?

As for the medical school, sorry you haven’t graduated yet? The first batch of students have only studied for seven or eight years, and they are still interns, accumulating experience!

Of course, the level of medical care has been greatly improved. It is much easier to train nurses, and the needs are basically met.

In 1895, Bulgaria’s total import and export trade amounted to 760 million Lev, an increase of nearly four times compared with 1887. Among them, the total import volume was 365 million levs, and the total export volume was 395 million levs. The trade surplus was 30 million levs.

Among them, trade with Russia accounted for 71.5% of the total. It is Bulgaria's largest trading partner and has always been a trade surplus in this trade. Of course, the introduction of immigration expenditure is basically a trade balance!

Fiscal revenue continued to grow rapidly, increasing by 25% from 1894, reaching 218 million lev! It is much higher than the 13% of Bulgaria's economic growth rate. This is mainly the dividend of the "First Five-Year Plan"!

In order to stimulate economic development and encourage private capital to join the industry, the Bulgarian government adopted administrative measures to intervene in the market. Many industries have been provided with tax incentives for a number of years. Now the time for tax cuts for some enterprises has come, and the government has begun to reap dividends!

After listening to the report of the cabinet, Ferdinand sighed secretly: It's not easy! After ten years of hard work, Bulgaria has finally achieved leapfrog development, both in the industrial and agricultural fields, or in the military field, and achieved outstanding development!

Ferdinand nodded and said: "Yes! Ten years of hard work, Bulgaria can also be said to have entered the threshold of an industrial country today!

But, now we still can’t relax, a new challenge is coming, and Jackie Chan is here!

The next year will be the most critical year since the founding of Bulgaria! What planning strategy does the cabinet have? "

Prime Minister Constantine said calmly: "Duke, in the next year, in addition to the implementation of the already formulated'Second Five-Year Plan', the government does not intend to carry out major construction!

In order to ensure an advantage in the upcoming war, the UU Reading cabinet will devote the most energy to prepare for the war and maximize our war potential! "

Ferdinand nodded and motioned to continue.

The status quo in Bulgaria, everyone sitting here knows, the industrial development has almost reached the limit of this country!

Raw materials and the market, these two dual factors restrict the further development of Bulgaria!

This is also Ferdinand’s previous estimation error. If it had not been for the Bulgarian War in 1894, which consumed part of the supplies, the rapid development of the Bulgarian economy would have ceased!

No way, why does Bulgaria have a limited market? And international trade, for most small and medium-sized enterprises, is undoubtedly an idiotic dream!

First of all, product quality is not superior to developed countries.

Secondly, the export of Bulgarian products is by land: the cost is too high, and it is the limit as far as Austria-Hungary;

Export by sea: Except for the Russian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and Romania, for export to other countries, the Ottoman Empire will first impose a tariff on it, which in turn increases the cost! After a tariff is added, the price also tends to be at a disadvantage.

This is also one of the reasons why the trade between Bulgaria and Russia is booming. They are all forced out and blocked by native chickens. Except for a few special products, other commodities are difficult to compete internationally!

Of course, there are disadvantages and advantages. Industrial and commercial products from the industrial powers of Western Europe must also experience double tariffs to enter Russia. Not to mention the quality, the single price, the freight is added and the tariff is added, the competitiveness is not as good as Bulgarian products!

Similarly, the export of Russian goods (mainly grain and industrial raw materials) had to be peeled by the Ottomans, which seriously blocked the way of the nobles!
