Chapter 1052

Rovno, Ukraine.

In the northwest of Livni, more than two months ago, a brand-new residential community rose on the plain near the west side of the ustia river passing through the city.

This is November 1st.

The state government and aldec co hosted the check-in ceremony today.

A temporary stage was set up in front of the square at the entrance of the community. Under the stage, there were guests from all sides, surrounded by a large group of media reporters.

The president of ufms, Kerim jeleviyanko, didn't listen to the governor's speech on the stage seriously. He looked at the beautiful red and white seven story apartment building not far away for a long time. He said to Sergei komorov, the head of aldec company, who had been obviously thin and tired recently: "I suddenly found that our boss should be an idealist."

Sergey, who hasn't had a good rest for more than two months in a row, doesn't have the heart to speak. Listening to crim's words, she looks at a large new apartment building not far away. With a certain satisfaction in her expression, she says, "do you really think so?"

"Or else?" Crim motioned to the other side of the apartment building: "didn't you plan to build a tube building at first? Now, I can't help living in such a beautiful apartment. "

"Actually, I feel the same as you do."

"In that case, what's wrong with what I just said? A real capitalist should not be willing to spend money to build such a beautiful apartment. "

Sergey shook his head slightly. "But, Klim, have you ever thought that these apartments are not so easy to get into?"

"Isn't that right?" Not surprised, Klim said, "it's unfair to live in such a good apartment without enough pay."

Sergey hesitated a little and didn't continue to argue with crim, otherwise he would be suspected of saying his boss was right and wrong.

Sergey was no longer satisfied with the first batch of 30 apartment buildings in the area, which was named "urstya community". In order to complete this project, he has worked hard in the last two months and lost a lap.

Many times, even Sergey himself felt that these apartments were too luxurious for those factory workers.

As Kerim said, initially, with the funds from Simon, Sergey only wanted to build a number of tube buildings, which were the kind of long and narrow apartments like trains that were popularized in Khrushchev period until now, whether in Kiev or in Livni.

Unfortunately, my boss doesn't think so at all.

It's about building a home for the community residents, not a cold dormitory.

As a smart businessman, Sergey's first reaction was that it would cost a lot of money.

It's just that it's not something he can decide.

In order to clean up the hidden shantytowns in the west of livny before the freezing season in winter, there was not much time for dispute. Finally, the big boss personally finalized the plan to build a unified six storey apartment building, which must be a 50 square meter or 70 square meter one bedroom one living room or two bedrooms one living room with complete kitchen and bathroom.

At the first sight, Sergey saw the plan given by his boss. He only felt the pain and finally argued for it.

The boss made a little compromise.

It's impossible to increase the six storey apartment to seven storey apartment. As for Sergey's proposal of eight storey apartment, even though he did not know where to ask his boss to say that "eight" is a very lucky number, the reply from the other side was that without an elevator, eight storey apartment is too high, and seven storey apartment is already the limit.

All right.

Because of the integration of the upper and lower parts of the state, the preliminary design planning and project approval took only two weeks. The only thing that made Sergei comfortable was the land given by the state government, which was almost free. Therefore, a temporary bill was introduced again. As long as they are willing to build affordable housing for residents in the state, any developer can get the corresponding preferential treatment.

However, in addition to their own big boss, other people will spend money in this northwest state of Ukraine.

What's more, the state government has another heart in mind, limiting the bill to only three years.

In a word, it is tailored for this project, and the allocated public land is 370 hectares at a time. In fact, it was 250 hectares at the beginning. As a result, it was reported and received a short reply from the boss, "you are all 250!" We are all confused, but obviously, the boss is not happy.

So the high-level government held a meeting overnight and allocated all the land that could be allocated to the project. The project area immediately increased to 370 hectares.

If you can't use it up, build a park first.

For more than two months, Sergei komorov gave up most of the other work of aldec and has been personally responsible for the project. In two weeks, he completed the early stage, and then broke the ground. In order to speed up the work, aldec construction company called together more than 3000 workers at one time, some of them were Vasi, the commander-in-chief of the Western combat command Li Borisov is an engineer who sneaks in to earn extra money.The first 30 apartments were broken at the same time.

Work day and night.

Sergey also lived almost on the construction site for more than two months in a row.

It took less than 20 days from the foundation excavation to the top sealing of the apartment building, and the subsequent laying of the water and electricity pipe network was only two weeks.

In October, the temperature in Ukraine was already very low. In order to dry the new houses as soon as possible and ensure their occupancy, 30 apartments turned on the heating system for seven consecutive days. Finally, the occupancy ceremony was successfully ushered in on November 1.

Looking back, Sergey felt that he had created a miracle.

Of course, it's still painful.

It's mainly cost.

Even though kuci immediately stabilized Ukraine's political situation after Taiwan and successfully issued the new currency this year, the economy remains sluggish. Ukraine's public average monthly salary of $30 is just a joke. Many people still don't earn $10 a month. The house price of a country or region is basically equal to the average monthly salary of residents.

The average construction cost of this apartment is only 45 US dollars per square meter, which is on the premise that Sergei not only did not take advantage of it, but also personally took charge of the supervision of the bank to control the cost to the greatest extent.

It's hard for people to feel the number of units. The contrast is quite strong.

According to the original plan for the construction of the tube building, the shell cover can ensure that the construction cost per square meter is less than $20. Now, because all kinds of construction materials are upgraded to a higher level, and the budget can not be reduced. Even a single kitchen and bathroom space means an increase in cost.

All in all, the average construction cost per square meter has more than doubled compared with the initial estimate.

If we only calculate the unit area, it doesn't seem to be much.

However, for the whole resettlement community project, only the residential space is planned to build 3.5 million square meters. Therefore, the difference between 45 US dollars and 20 US dollars will be extended to the whole project, which is equivalent to an additional investment of nearly 90 million US dollars. Not counting the total investment of US $200 million, the rest of the department spent on the construction of schools, hospitals, shopping malls, parks and other supporting funds.

3.5 million square meters of residential area, according to the unit price of US $45, is only equivalent to US $157 million of investment, and the remaining US $43 million will be used for these facilities with lower income.

Looking at these figures alone, my boss is indeed an idealist.

However, when we think about it, it's not easy.

First of all, not everyone can rent this new community. At present, only employees from related enterprises of westrow system in Rovno can apply. Even with the completion of the project, the conditions will be relaxed and the selection will be made. This is obviously another kind of control over the economy of Rovno.

The reason is very simple. If it is not recognized by the westero system, the employees of some enterprises do not even have the qualification to rent a good house.

Over time, the results can be imagined.

Besides, for residents, it seems that they only need to find a relevant job. However, once the residents leave or are expelled from the enterprise, they must move out within one month, and even their children can no longer enjoy various supporting facilities related to community schools.

This is also some kind of deep binding.

This apartment has a high standard of construction, and the surrounding facilities are more superior. It can be imagined that as long as you live in it, you will never want to leave again after you get used to it. Just as the big boss imagined, it is more like home than home.

As a result, we can't help ourselves.

All kinds of enterprises or factories in the westero system are not easy to work. In time, if you want to maintain a decent life, you can only accept harsh working conditions, give up the life that may be easy but hard to avoid, and work tirelessly like ants.

Second, there are costs.

This is the plan personally given by the team from the big boss, and the relevant data are clear at a glance.

Take a couple who have no children for a while. They both work in a factory and each earns $30 a month, making a total of $60.

Well, after the nominal subsidy for renting a 50 square meter room and a living room here, the rent is still $20, which directly accounts for one third of the income of the couple. In addition to the daily expenses of property, water, electricity and gas, even if it is very economical, it will cost at least $10.

The remaining half, after basic necessities of life, will not be much left.

These daily consumption of clothing, food, housing and transportation are basically under the control of the westero system in shopping malls, supermarkets, hospitals, singing halls, cinemas and other places, which is equivalent to the salary earned from the enterprises related to the westero system and returns to the westero system.

For families with children, if they want to maintain such a decent life, they will be hard pressed if they don't make careful calculations.

In a word, in addition to the relatively comfortable and decent environment, it is difficult for people living and working in this area to have anything left in the end. However, a large number of factories set up here by westero system and affiliated enterprises can continuously create profits for the capital behind the curtain with low labor costs.

Because of this, Sergey realized that his boss was not naive at all.However, on second thought, Sergey has to admit that this is not the fate of most ordinary people in the world. Only a few people can get rid of this fate, and the detachment of these few people is undoubtedly based on the reincarnation of most people.

Reality and cruelty.

On the stage, governor Andre Smirnov finished his speech. It was Sergey's turn. He quickly put away his mind, changed his smiling face and walked to the stage.

In any case, he is already a detached person, a chess player, why think so much?

After repeated speeches and ribbon cutting, surrounded by a large group of reporters, the guests who attended the ceremony went into the community to visit the residents' house warming.

The first apartments were built near the river.

The standard 7-storey apartment building has 14 single storey houses, 10 of which are 70 square meters with two bedrooms and one living room, and 4 of which are 50 square meters with one bedroom and one living room. Each building has 98 apartments in total, with an effective housing area of 6300 square meters. According to the living space of 20 square meters per capita, the standard number of residents in each apartment is 315.

30 apartment buildings, just close to 10000 people.

However, this is only the ideal state of the future.

The reason why this community works so fast is that before the cold winter comes, the residents of shantytowns in the west of the city, who had gathered 100000 people before, can move into safe and warm houses as far as possible to avoid various conditions in the extremely cold weather.

Therefore, this time, the living capacity of the first batch of apartment buildings has been expanded more than four times. It is estimated that 40000 people will enter these 30 apartments.

There's no way.

Because of the influx of a large number of people, even if the rent in downtown Livni has increased two or three times in the past two years, it is very difficult to find accommodation. Even the surrounding villages and towns are full of immigrants. This is why the shantytowns in the west of the city appeared.

Therefore, some plans can only be postponed.

The capacity of residents here has been temporarily expanded, and some conditions have not been relaxed, but replaced.

In addition to the shantytowns, the employees who originally worked in the enterprises related to the westero system can directly obtain the residence qualification. The employees who originally lived in the collective dormitories of some factories in the westero system also moved to the brand-new apartments here, and the vacated dormitories are reserved for those shantytowns residents who have no jobs or have unstable jobs for the time being.

It is expected that another batch of 30 apartments will be available before the construction is completely frozen in December.

After that, the residents of shantytowns will be resettled. Those who have no way to settle down will be forcibly repatriated to their places of origin. The shantytowns that have been temporarily gathered in the past two years will also be demolished. This kind of gathering area that may develop into slums will not be allowed in Livni in the future.

In order to further achieve the goal, from next year, the state of Rovno will restrict the inflow of population.

At that time, how many workers are needed here will be released. Even if some people are unavoidable, with the completion of large-scale resettlement communities and the strict control of the authorities, the situation of shanty towns and slums will never appear again.

On the other hand, once the resettlement community is completed, the phenomenon similar to group rent will no longer be allowed.

We can only live as many people as we can in an apartment.

After all, the crowd will bring a serious burden to the fire control, public security and health of the community. In the long run, it will even become another form of slum.

That's the obvious reason.

What's more, for the sake of the westero system, we must not let a group of people rent together to dilute the cost of living.

In the community of ustia.

Governor Andrei Smirnov and Sergei komorov and others visited the place under the media's attention. As deputy governor, Vladimir kolkoshko took another group of people to walk and chat on the new concrete corridor along the river.

This is an investment team from INDITEX group, the main fashion chain in Spain.

Vladimir has learned in detail privately that the Zara chain store under the name of the company has spread over more than 10 countries in the world, and its sales volume will exceed 1 billion US dollars this year, and it is still expanding rapidly. It is a high-quality investor worthy of attracting.

"Javier, as you can see, it took only two months for this community to start construction and move in, which is one of the biggest advantages of your investment in the state of Rovno, super efficiency. If INDITEX opens a factory in Livni, the factory can be completed and put into operation in three to six months according to different sizes. Moreover, we can also assist in recruiting and training workers. There is no such superior place in Eastern Europe now. "

Led by INDITEX, a 40-year-old, balding vice president named Javier Cordero.

After listening to the explanation of the interpreter, Javier shook his head and said, "but, Vladimir, we also found that there are many problems here, such as raw materials. The foundation of light industry in Ukraine is too poor. If a clothing factory is set up here, many raw materials need to be imported."

"We have been improving this. You know, there are many garment factories in Livni, and their production has not been affected by this. Moreover, even if it is imported, relatively speaking, our cost is still very advantageous. ""But the tax benefits you give, with all due respect, are hard to please. Even if we have been to other states and counties in Ukraine, the conditions are much better than here. "

Vladimir listened to Javier's talk about this, and knew that the other party had begun to move. He said patiently with a smile: "Javier, the tax preference we can give is already the highest, and the tax we get will be invested in infrastructure construction in the next few years, which you must have found. Let's talk about other states and counties. Frankly speaking, Havel, not to mention Russia, even other parts of Ukraine, even Kiev, if you have a more detailed understanding of the business environment in those areas, you may not even have the idea of investment. "

Vladimir was not too straightforward, and Javier still understood immediately, but said, "Vladimir, can you guarantee that there are no such problems in the state of Rovno?"

"Of course, I can guarantee," said Vladimir firmly, "that INDITEX only needs to concentrate on production to set up the factory here. It will not be disturbed by gangs, and there will be no unpleasantness at the government level. This is the most basic, but it is also difficult for other regions to achieve. Otherwise, do you think Mr. Simon westero would have invested so much here? "

Javier Cordero did not take up the subject, but understood that what the deputy governor said was true.

Now in Eastern Europe, because of the chain reaction of economic collapse, all aspects of society are also in a collapse. This is also why it is clear that Eastern Europe has cheap human resources, and Western European capital is still very cautious in its investment here. Not to mention the weak and dilapidated industrial base here, it's just the human side. We don't have the heart to deal with the endless blackmail and bribery of officials. Even in many Eastern European countries and regions, even the safety of investors can't be guaranteed.

The border state in Northwest Ukraine is an exception.

Javier Cordero and his party have arrived in Livni for three days. What they have seen and heard proves this.

The whole region is not only economically vibrant, not like many other cities in Eastern Europe, but also free from the miasma of other regions. It is a garden of Eden.

The reason is clear to all.

A super rich man is not only raising an army here, but also controlling the bureaucratic class of the whole state and county. In addition, with the economic penetration, to put it bluntly, the state of loveNo is now a colony of the westero system, and a colony with strong control and no second voice at all.

With the exception of westero, no one can make trouble in the state of Rovno, and the super rich tries his best to promote the economic development of this area, so the business environment is naturally too good.

As a result, Javier Cordero and his boss in Spain decided last night to set up a factory here and even build INDITEX's main production base in Europe. The next thing to do is to ask for more preferential policies from the authorities of the state of Rovno as much as possible.
