Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 69: , Contracting New District continued

   The facts have to start from half a month ago, when Feranci, who was still visiting Bulgaria at the time, was interrupted by a telegram from Ferdinand.

   The content is very simple: "Mr. Ferrantz, the development zone has been settled in Sliven. Now you go to Sliven to discuss cooperation matters!..."

   Then, Ferrantz hurriedly ended the trip and began to form a negotiation team.

  I am used to the procrastinated efficiency of the Austro-Hungarian government, and Feranci has always appreciated Bulgaria's current high efficiency.

   Oh, but there are some exceptions this time. According to Feranci's estimate, even the Bulgarian government wants to establish a development zone. It is necessary to integrate various factors, such as administrative equipment, personnel transfer, etc. It will not be completed within a year or a half.

   As a result, three days after receiving Ferdinand’s telegram, Ferrantz received the invitation letter for the establishment of the Sliven Development Zone, leaving him no time to prepare.

   It’s too fast. It’s almost time for the Bulgarian business community to respond. It took less than a month from the public opinion campaign to the establishment of the development zone.

   Like other business people, Ferrantz also hurried to Sliven.

   As the spokesperson of Ferdinand, Ferantz is already well-known in the Bulgarian business community, and all parties have to show some face.

Hower Ivanlov, the mayor of Sliven City and the head of the development zone, came to greet him in person. When he saw Ferrantz, Howell said heartily: "Mr. Ferrantz, it’s nice to meet you. Welcome Liwen New District!"

   Ferranz's loud voice sounded: "Mayor Howell, I am also very glad to meet you. I believe the Sliven New District will bring me a different feeling!"

  ……

   Most of the big names in Bulgarian industrial and commercial circles came here personally. Even if something was delayed, they sent representatives.

   Ferrantz became the central figure as soon as he arrived. As the head of Volvo, Europe's largest retail industry leader, everyone can't help but ignore it.

  As soon as I came to Sliven, people kept coming to visit. What embarrassed Ferrantz was that most of them were colleagues, and they had to meet.

   In order to avoid becoming a target of public criticism, many of Ferdinand’s industries wear vests, which are independent of each other on the surface.

  The Bulgarian industry and commerce circle is small, and there are not many people with weight. Those who are eligible to be invited are mostly seeking achievements in an industry.

   If you investigate carefully, you will find that half of the participants are from Ferdinand. The Bulgarian economy is now controlled by Ferdinand.

   Although the Sliven Development Zone does not receive much attention from all walks of life in Bulgaria, the scene is still very enthusiastic, all because: Ferdinand will attend the opening ceremony!

   On November 12, 1891, the heavens seemed to be particularly generous, and the golden sun hung high on the blue sky, dispelling the winter cold.

   Sliven Development Zone, a temporary auditorium was temporarily built. Not many people attended the meeting. In addition to government officials, there were more than 30 representatives from the business sector, and several media including the Bulgarian Daily were also invited to participate.

   After the cumbersome set of rituals, Ferdinand began an impassioned speech:

   A philosopher once said: "I have walked a lot in my dream, but I still wake up in bed." It tells us vividly: one cannot live in a dreamlike ideal.

  The road to achieve our ideals is unavoidable. We need to have the determination, confidence, and perseverance. In the face of setbacks, we cannot be afraid of hope. We must make concessions. We must take the courage to overcome difficulties and work tirelessly.

  Because the great Bulgaria gives us passion and strength, we have no reason to be slack in the slightest, so as to eliminate and waste it, we must sway the color of life in the continuous pursuit and struggle, and let our ideals fly!

  What is patriotism?

   One of the deepest feelings for my motherland that has been consolidated for thousands of years.

   This is our patriotism!

  …… (30,000 characters omitted)

   For the rise of Bulgaria, let us fight hard!

   Ended the speech in the applause of Thunder. Ferdinand’s speech was very successful, but not even if it was unsuccessful. For this half-hour speech, he copied more than ten patriotic speeches of celebrities in later generations, intercepted the essence and merged together, changed the core to Bulgaria and was looking for someone Polished.

  The purpose is to pretend to be forced, no! It is for the business people to accept the baptism of patriotism.

   As soon as the speech was over, Ferdinand left the scene. Naturally Howell was responsible for the aftermath.

   How should the development zone develop? ?

   This is a difficult problem, and there are no examples in the world that can be referred to!

  The New District Government has a headache. Howell Ivanlov is a little regretful now, why bother to fight for this position?

   It’s done well, of course it’s easy to get results, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is valued by the upper side; but the question is, how to do it? No clue!

  Unable to think of a way, Howell asked to teach him and telegraphed it. Regrettably, the Bulgarian central government also does not know where to start!

   Constantine simply called back, don’t worry, do it boldly, I am optimistic about you! By the way, I also came up with an idea. I can discuss it with the business community.

   Then there is no more. Sliven Development Zone can be said to be the poorest municipal unit in Bulgaria.

   At present, there is nothing but the ten square kilometers of land allocated from Sliven.

   One is poor and two are white. There is not even a government office. The previous expenses were paid by the Sliven city government.

  To attract companies to settle down, at least there must be infrastructure! The Sliven Development Zone is still a wasteland with a small amount of farmland. The terrain is good and relatively flat.

   The early investment is not a small number. The central government is obviously not optimistic about the development of the new district and has no plan to allocate funds.

  The preferential tax conditions are okay, with tax exemption for the first three years and tax for the next five and a half years. Bulgarian capitalists are very tempted, but after calculating the initial investment, there is no return in sight without the investment of a few million levs.

   Can the cost be recovered with such a large investment? They gave up one by one, and then it became the current situation. Many people said that as long as the government can solve the infrastructure, they still support it.

   Then Ferranz stood up under the attention of everyone and said: He intends to contract the infrastructure construction of the development zone.

   Then everything went smoothly, and the new district government quickly threw the mess out. He also received one hundred thousand levs, and in addition to repaying the debt of the Sliven city government, there was also the first administrative expenditure.
