After the auction, Constantine was in a good mood to attend the evening banquet in person, and had a close communication with the capitalists who participated in the auction.

Of course, that's all. In order to prevent collusion between government and business, the Bulgarian government forbids officials and capitalists from going deeper, and Constantine will certainly not really become friends with capitalists.

He attended the banquet in person, nothing more than a greeting to the Russian capitalists, saying that the Bulgarian government would treat them equally and would not suppress foreign capital.

As for preferential treatment? I'm sorry, Bulgaria has never given preferential treatment to capitalists, neither domestically nor naturally abroad!

The Russians were very clear about these situations. The economic integration of Russia and Russia was not just a slogan. Before the outbreak of the World War, the economies of the two countries had really become one.

Now, of course, it has been divided. Taking advantage of the opportunities of the World War, the Bulgarian government has taken over 90% of the enterprises in the country. Isn't it easy to adjust? & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

More than two years have passed, and the economic ties between the two sides are naturally not so close, but it is still indispensable.

Bulgaria's economic policy has always been the object of attack by Russian capitalists, especially the government's compulsory intervention in the market, strict corporate laws and labor protection laws.

But now they want Bulgarian laws to be stricter, because these laws have harmed their interests, but they have also protected them!

It is because of too much understanding that Russian capitalists dare to invest their capital here. Without Ferdinand's butterfly effect, most of them would fall under Soviet knives, and most of the rest would be in the United States, and eventually they would be swallowed up.

...

Constantine said happily: "Your Majesty, this is the details of our auction, which is 15% higher than estimated by the Ministry of Finance, raising a total of 5.75 billion levs (about 230 million pounds)! ”& 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

Ferdinand nodded with a smile, took the file and looked at it carefully.

To the government, it doesn't matter whether all these companies are in their hands! Even if sold to capitalists, these factories remain in Bulgaria and will not affect Bulgaria's national strength.

Instead, the government can get rid of these burdens, and it can also recover a sum of funds through auctions and invest in new areas of national construction.

This is the helplessness of state-owned enterprises. They have many advantages. There is only one real fatal disadvantage-economically uneconomic!

Many companies that can make money in the hands of capitalists will lose money in the hands of the government. No matter how strict the supervision is, as long as it is not a profit-making industry, he will lose money!

If it is not to ensure the government's control of the country, Ferdinand would not mind turning all state-owned enterprises into private enterprises, so that the annual tax can be increased a lot. & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

Of course, you can think about it. If you sell it all, it will be a big deal for storage!

For example, if the Bulgarian railway company is handed over to capitalists for operation, it is estimated that profits can increase by three or five times. As a result, many non-profitable railway lines will be suspended.

However, since these lines have no economic value, since they have been repaired, they are naturally for national defense security. For the government, the military value is often more important than the economic value.

There is not much information. After a cup of tea, Ferdinand finished reading the information, and then smiled and said, "Oh, yes! This time the state-owned enterprise restructuring is progressing smoothly, but you still have to continue to make progress in the later period. To ensure the smooth transfer and transition of enterprises! "

"Yes!" Constantine replied

After thinking about it, Ferdinand asked again: "How does the government plan to use the funds obtained from the sale of the company?" & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

For a country, the money in hand is not money. Only when it is spent and has produced benefits, is it real money!

Constantine replied, "His Majesty, the government plans to invest this infrastructure in three main areas:

First, the Balkan Roundabout Railway Plan will connect all the Balkan Peninsulas by rail, mainly in Romania, Transylvania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Ministry of Transport expects to build another 12,000 kilometers of railway to complete this plan;

Second, the Asia Minor Peninsula has plans to open, and we will continue to build the Baghdad Railway, which was not completed by the Germans, and extend it to the Persian Gulf region. If the branch line along the route is calculated, the total mileage of this railway will reach 42,000 kilometers;

Third, land reclamation. After the end of this world war, our government has added a lot of land. To start them out, capital investment is indispensable in the early stage! ”& 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

Sure enough, money is still so unspent! There are tens of thousands of kilometers of railway to be repaired, and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land to be opened. This huge sum of money is quickly swallowed up.

Even, Ferdinand thinks that even if all the claims for war reparations are sold, the money won't be able to withstand the government's toss. Who can make him want to open Asia?

How can the cost of operating a colony as a local business be too low? A traffic problem alone is enough to cause crashes!

Fortunately, now Bulgaria is also a big business. Unlike in the past, when you built thousands of kilometers of railways, you had to raise money everywhere. Now you have thousands of kilometers of railways. If you left them in the past, you would never even think about it!

Ferdinand nodded and said, "Well! The government's exhibition idea is correct, and transportation is indeed a big problem. Let the Ministry of Transportation organize experts to conduct field surveys as soon as possible, determine the railway line, and strive to start construction by the end of 1918!" & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

The railway exploration work in the Balkans is still easy to complete. After all, the Austrian-Hungarian Empire had a similar railway plan and some railways have been built. Now Bulgaria needs to connect these branches.

The Asia Minor Peninsula, Syria, Palestine, Iraq, and the Persian Gulf region are in great trouble. The poor railway left by the Ottoman Empire can be ignored, even if Ferdinand is demolished.

If Bulgaria can repair the main railway line to the Persian Gulf within five years, Ferdinand will give the medal of the Ministry of Transport, and it will run through the Arabian Peninsula within ten years, then this century is the century of Bulgaria!

At present, Ferdinand is not sure if it can be completed. Now it depends on how powerful the Bulgarian bureaucracy is. If they can still maintain the fighting spirit when they built their homeland, then this problem is not a problem! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

Constantine replied immediately: "Yes! Her Majesty please rest assured that we will implement as soon as possible and strive to start construction before the end of the year!"

Ferdinand thought again and added: "The government has to prepare a new five-year plan, and if there is no accident, we can sell our debts within the year!"

How much money you can do is the status quo of the Bulgarian government! It's not that Ferdinand didn't want to make the Great Leap Forward, he really didn't dare to make it!

The industry was blindly exhibited, and other domestic industries did not keep up. When the economic crisis broke out, companies suddenly lost their overseas markets, the domestic market did not grow up, and the government owed a huge amount of foreign debt. The consequences were simply unthinkable!

With Bulgaria's national conditions, once you have that deadly economic crisis, prepare for war!

Ferdinand is not afraid to fight, but the question is who to fight with? What's the benefit of winning? & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

Ferdinand can be sure that it can't fight English and French!

First, there is not enough conflict of interest between the two parties; second, no one can treat anyone like that.

This is determined by geopolitics. Bulgaria cannot reach the homeland of Britain and France, nor does Britain and France have the strength to reach the homeland of Bulgaria. There is no substantial benefit to the two sides except for the addition of an enemy!

Perhaps the Suez Canal looks delicious. Unfortunately, referring to the naval power of the two sides, Ferdinand does not think that Bulgaria can break through the blockade of the Royal Navy.

This is troublesome. I finally managed to grab the canal. In the end, there is no way to navigate freely. Then I might as well dig another canal myself. Why go to war?

Since there are not enough interests and no way to win each other, such a war cannot be fought! & 1t; i> & 1t; / i>

The rest is the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Russian Empire. If the Russian Empire has been a civil war, then there must be no guarantee between Russia and Russia, and Ferdinand will not be so kind and create a chance for reconciliation. .

The Austro-Hungarian Empire had no offensive value at all, and it defeated the Vienna government. Except for the convenience of the rise of the Germans, Ferdinand had no benefit!

This is embarrassing, what should I do if I cannot find the enemy?

No contradiction can be transferred, and there is only the last way to digest contradictions internally!

Considering the risk of this operation, Ferdinand decisively chose the sustainable exhibition. After all, it is easy to provoke class struggles, and it is difficult to want aftercare. Once you play, you have to take off a layer of skin if you die.

Simply put, it is to reasonably arrange the country's infrastructure construction, and carry out infrastructure construction within its own scope. You cannot blindly start the project ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ We must do it step by step.

Then when the economic crisis explodes, Bulgaria can continue to carry out infrastructure construction to ease the pressure. Really, Ferdinand can also open Africa, and no longer can play afforestation to protect employment!

The prerequisite is that the government cannot owe huge debts, be kidnapped by capital, and then be put on a chariot!

Specifically, you can refer to the Germans of World War II. Whether Hitler or not, they will provoke war, and the capital behind them is forcing them to go to the battlefield. This cannot be changed by individuals.

Bulgaria was also pulled on board by the capital in World War I, but just because the interest was large enough, Ferdinand half-push it and joined it.

Let's do it again!
