#729: Attracting investments

Rod sits in the gloomy and cold city hall, in the hand carries the hot liquor that the servant is handing over, small is sipping. 罗德坐在阴冷的市政大厅内,手里端着仆人递来的热酒,一小口一小口的抿着。 The sunlight sprinkles the hall by the stone column window, from the sky leaves behind the one after another pale light beam, innumerable tiny dust is scattering, probably Rod train of thought at this moment, does not return to normal, does not stand still. 阳光透过石柱窗户洒进大厅,在空中留下一道道惨白的光柱,无数细小的尘埃在其中飘散着,像是罗德此刻的思绪,不平复,不停歇。 Alvis is stamping the feet to pace up and down, exudes thump thump thump the sound in the hall. 阿尔维斯跺着脚来回走动,在大厅中发出噔噔噔的响声。 „Said, you have decided?” “这么说,你已经决定了？” Municipal Senior Official Alvis raised the head suddenly, stares at Rod to ask. 市政长官阿尔维斯突然抬起头,盯着罗德问到。 „Yes, besides this means that you also has a better idea and suggestion?” “是的,除了这个办法,你还有更好的想法和建议吗？” Rod serious question. 罗德一脸严肃的反问到。 Alvis is at a loss for words immediately. According to the idea of Rod, Erengrad after this tribulation, must depend on own strength to restore to the beforehand prosperous condition, almost impossible. Because Erengrad is the Kislev economical core, this epidemic situation, hit the economy of Kislev seriously. The economy of entire Kislev therefore falls into the brink of collapse, the state treasury almost pulled out spatially. 阿尔维斯顿时语塞。按照罗德的想法,厄仑格拉德经过这次磨难,要靠着自身的力量恢复到之前的鼎盛状态,几乎不可能。由于厄仑格拉德原本就是基斯里夫的经济核心,这次疫情,严重打击了基斯里夫的经济。整个基斯里夫的经济都因此陷入崩溃的边缘,国库几乎被掏空。 Because in the early period of the plague eruption, the entire Kingdom complete strength almost invests into the production research and development of heavy industry. Not the unnecessary fund and strength deal with this sudden mass disaster. 由于瘟疫爆发前期,整个王国的全部力量几乎都投入到重工业的生产研发中。没有多余的资金和实力来应对这种突发的大规模灾难。 In addition the special nature of heavy industry, once opens, cannot stop. After the plague breaks out, central invests continually maintains the heavy industry development of production, while must collect the fund disaster relief. It can be said that the pressure of people also almost arrived at the brink of collapse. Therefore, restores by own strength, the difficulty is equal to ascend to heaven. 加上重工业的特殊性质,一旦开启,就不能停下。瘟疫爆发后,中央一边持续投入维持重工业生产发展,一边还要筹集资金赈灾。可以说民众的压力也几乎到了崩溃的边缘。所以,靠自身力量恢复,难度等同于登天。 The idea of Rod is, comprehensively opens Erengrad, making it take the special administrative area. Allows the foreign merchant the investment project in the city, the Erengrad government provides the inexpensive labor force and land price, attracts the Empire merchant and aristocrat by this. 罗德的想法是,全面开放厄仑格拉德,让它作为特殊行政区。允许外商在城市内投资建设,厄仑格拉德政府则提供低廉的劳动力和地价,以此吸引帝国商人和贵族。 This idea Rod had in fact very much long time ago, but the time was immature at that time, entire Kislev, has not been in that situation, therefore Rod in the foreign policy, has had the tough stance, does not agree with the comprehensive free trade. 这个想法事实上罗德很早就有了,但是那时候时机还未成熟,整个基斯里夫,也还没到那个地步,所以罗德在外交政策上,一直持强硬态度,不同意全面自由通商。 But now, the situation was different, the production of city restores slowly, some industries tend to the stationary state, hundreds of thousands people need to support. At this time, has to draw support from the external force, resumes production. This is a bit like attracting investments, or is attracting investments, uses the domestic inexpensive labor force to attract the foreign merchant to invest, creates the employment opportunity, in the meantime , helping its rapid growth. 而现在,情况不同了,城市的生产恢复缓慢,有些产业趋于停滞状态,还有好几十万人需要养活。这种时候,就不得不借助外力,来恢复生产。这有点像招商引资,或者说就是招商引资,利用国内廉价的劳动力来吸引外商投资,创造就业机会,同时,帮助本国快速发展。 This time Erengrad, is suiting this situation. After the plague, the city resumes production urgently needed, restores the trade. Kislev unnecessary strength oneself has not completed this matter, then relies on the external force. 此时的厄仑格拉德,正适合这种情况。瘟疫之后,城市急需恢复生产,恢复贸易。基斯里夫已经没有多余的力量自己完成这件事,那么就借助外部力量吧。 The Ecuadoran port government provides the inexpensive land price, price renting by polar region uses to the foreign merchans, in the meantime, in the Erengrad city has the labor who hundreds of thousands of cried for food, actually will be plague from now on refugee. 厄港政府提供低廉的地价,以极地的价格租赁给外国商人使用,同时,厄仑格拉德城内拥有数十万嗷嗷待哺的民工,其实就是瘟疫过后的难民。 So long as these people at this moment have the work, does not care about what working condition and environment. Was equivalent provided the extremely inexpensive labor force. Both unified mutually, formed the investment environment of Erengrad extremely advantage. 这些人此刻只要有工作就可以,根本不在乎什么工作条件和环境。相当于提供了极其廉价的劳动力。两者互相结合,形成了厄仑格拉德极其优势的投资环境。 The low land price, the double low cost of low labor force, forms the enormous attraction to the Empire merchant and aristocrat. They can put up a factory, the merchandise cost in the Erengrad investment producing by far are lower than in the Empire indigenous production. 低地价,低劳动力的双低成本,将对帝国商人和贵族形成极大的吸引力。他们可以在厄仑格拉德投资建厂,生产出来的商品成本将远远低于在帝国本土生产。 Meanwhile, draws support from the Erengrad natural harbor advantage, these cargos can from the harbor continuous transportation the all over the world. This regarding the Empire merchant and aristocrat, is an enormous attraction. 同时,借助于厄仑格拉德天然的港口优势,这些货物可以从海港源源不断的运输到世界各地。这对于帝国商人和贵族来说,又是一个极大的吸引力。 According to plan, if attracting investments is successful, entire Erengrad will recover in a short time. The city will become the entire world focus, a large number of foreign-funded enterprises flood into, the solution local area resident gets employed at the same time, prospered the entire city. After the trade prospers, will soon cover the Kislev financing gap through the harbor income. 按照计划,若是招商引资成功,整个厄仑格拉德将在短时间内复苏。城市将成为全世界瞩目的焦点,大量外资企业涌入,解决本地居民就业的同时,繁荣了整座城市。贸易重新繁荣起来后,通过港口的收入将很快弥补基斯里夫的财政缺口。 The drawback that however meanwhile, this policy brings is also very big. Does not need to speculate, Rod also knows, once policy implementation of attracting investments, quick, Erengrad main street and small alley, will present a large number of foreign-funded companies. From the rich merchants from Empire and all over the world, will monopolize the economy of entire Erengrad. The tavern boss no longer is the local resident, but came from Empire some big merchant. The owner in factory is also Empire and foreign merchan, no longer is the aristocrat and merchant in Erengrad local. 但是同时,这个政策带来的弊端也是很大的。不用推测,罗德也知道,一旦招商引资的政策实施,很快,厄仑格拉德的大街小巷,将出现大量的外资公司。来自帝国和世界各地的富商们,将垄断整个厄仑格拉德的经济。酒馆老板不再是本地居民,而是来自帝国的某位大商人。工厂的主人也将是帝国和外国商人,不再是厄仑格拉德本土的贵族和商人。 But the rapid growth of open market will certainly cause the birth of big financial group. Extremely competent foreign-funded company will annex the local small business, the Erengrad original small-scale factory by the merger or acquisition, will become the big transnational cross-regional company. Erengrad quite the rear production bases of these big aristocrat big merchants. 而自由市场的快速发展必将导致大财团的诞生。极有实力的外资公司将吞并本土小企业,厄仑格拉德原本的小型工厂将会被收购兼并,成为大型跨国跨区域公司。厄仑格拉德则相当于这些大贵族大商人的后方生产基地。 Even, quick, the cargo in Erengrad market then becomes ten thousand domestic products. Because the commodity of local loses the scale impact, is unable to contend with the foreign-funded company. The excellent in quality and reasonable in price commodity will flood the entire Erengrad market. Although raised the level of living of resident, but the benefit is not the Erengrad government, is not the local aristocrats. 甚至于,很快,厄仑格拉德市场上的货物便成为了万国货。本土的商品由于失去规模效应,将无法和外资公司抗衡。物美价廉的商品将充斥整个厄仑格拉德的市场。虽然提升了居民的生活水平,但是利益却不属于厄仑格拉德政府,也不属于本地贵族们。 Because the owners in these factory and company no longer are the Erengrad aristocrat or the merchant, but is the Empire rich merchant and aristocrat. 因为这些工厂和公司的主人都将不再是厄仑格拉德贵族或商人,而是帝国的富商和贵族。 They invest Erengrad, brought the great quantity job, recovered the economy of entire city, but also inevitable monopoly entire market. 他们投资厄仑格拉德,带来了巨量的工作岗位,恢复了整座城市的经济,但是同时也将不可避免的垄断整个市场。 Alvis is worried this issue...... 阿尔维斯担心的正是这个问题…… „How not to mention we explain to the Erengrad aristocrats, in the future, if really presented the appearance of this type of monopoly financial group......” “且不说我们如何向厄仑格拉德的贵族们交待,日后,如果真的出现了这种垄断财团的出现……” „That issue is not big, is not at least fatal.” “那问题也不大,至少不致命。” Rod broke Alvis words — — 罗德打断了阿尔维斯的话—— „We have the army, but they do not have, all will not allow to have the army to be stationed to the merchant of Erengrad investment. The Erengrad City Guards will be responsible for the public security and protect their personal and property safety.” “我们有军队,而他们没有,所有到厄仑格拉德投资的商人将不允许拥有军队驻扎。厄仑格拉德城市卫队将负责治安并保护他们的人身财产安全。” „Does not have the army, the light is rich, they can make anything, cannot raise what rough seas.” “没有军队,光有钱,他们能做什么,掀不起什么大浪。” Rod sipped the hot liquor, then speaking of — — 罗德抿了抿热酒,接着说到—— „Food production and storage grasp as in our hands, the people will not starve, will not have the true risk production. Kislev implements the official purchase grain policy, sells the grain to be the illegal activity secretly, for these years, the people had been familiar with, therefore, the grain question will not be monopolized and controlled. Moreover, what that helps the Empire man pursue is the absolute interest. Compares in the grain trade, the industrial product and raw material trade are clearly more attractive, has higher room for profits, it can be said that several times of profits. Who will do the matter that does a thankless job?” “粮食生产和储存依旧掌握在我们手里,民众不会挨饿,就不会有真正的风险产生。基斯里夫实行官方收购粮食政策,私自贩卖粮食属于违法行为,这几年来,民众都已习惯,所以,粮食问题不会被垄断和操控。另外,那帮帝国佬追求的是绝对利益。相比于粮食贸易,工业品和原材料贸易显然更具吸引力,拥有更高的利润空间,可以说是几倍利润。谁会做吃力不讨好的事？” Listens, Alvis nods reluctantly. 听完,阿尔维斯勉强点了点头。 Each policy is a double-edged sword, Rod fully realizes truth. To come this and initial free commercial treaty is an issue. 每个政策都是一把双刃剑,罗德深知其中的道理。想来这和当初的自由通商条约是一个问题。 Initially, Kislev just recovered consciousness from the civil war, Empire that helped Elector Count then probably with Kislev sign the free commercial treaty impatiently. They are willing to support the reconstruction of Kislev unconditionally, including constructing Wall. So long as enables the Empire merchant ship caravan to go freely in Kislev, enabling the Empire commodity to be able the freedom in the Kislev within the boundaries trade, but not by tariff restriction. It seems like the harmless freedom and equality agreement, however, once the trade opens comprehensively, the commodity of Empire inexpensive advantage will defeat the Kislev native factory and enterprise comprehensively, three years, the economy of entire Kislev will monopolize by the Empire merchant and aristocrat. Therefore, initially Rod rejected this directly „in a friendly way” proposition. 当初,基斯里夫刚刚从内战中缓过来,帝国那帮选帝侯便迫不及待要与基斯里夫签订自由通商协议。他们愿意无条件支持基斯里夫的重建工作,包括修建长城。只要让帝国的商船商队可以自由行驶在基斯里夫境内,让帝国的商品可以自由在基斯里夫境内贸易,而不受关税限制。看上去是无害的自由平等协议,然而,一旦贸易全面打开,帝国廉价优势的商品将全面打败基斯里夫的本土工厂和企业,不出三年,整个基斯里夫的经济将被帝国商人和贵族所垄断。所以,当初罗德直接拒绝了这个“友好”提议。 Circumstances changes with the time, the present situation and is different at that time, Kislev to extraordinary does not accept this not equal trade. Just, this time, making Empire that group of merchants come to be good, moreover can say that the advantage outweighs the shortcoming. 时过境迁,如今的情况和当时已然不同,基斯里夫到了不得不接受这样不平等贸易的局面。只不过,这次,让帝国那帮商人进来却是有好处的,而且可以说利大于弊。 Naturally, Rod also conditional, opened a Erengrad city merely. In other words, entire Kislev, only then Erengrad implements attracting investments and open market policy. Other town, according to the original policy implement the control. Risk reduction as far as possible. 当然,罗德也是有条件的,仅仅开放了厄仑格拉德一座城市。也就是说,整个基斯里夫,只有厄仑格拉德实行招商引资和自由市场政策。其他城镇,都按照原来的政策实行管制。将风险尽可能的降低。 Rod almost can foresee, after for several years Erengrad, it restored it in the past lively scene. A highly free open market, will attract the innumerable capital the vision. Exposed, must not exposed to the light the industry multiply to germinate in this. Even, the black market will also appear in the city again. Some shameful transactions will also be conducted in some corner of city. 罗德几乎可以预见,数年后的厄仑格拉德,其恢复其往昔的繁华景象。一个高度自由开放的市场,将吸引无数资本的目光。见光的,见不得光的产业都会在此滋生发芽。甚至,黑市也将再次出现在城市内。一些见不得人的交易也将在城市的某个角落里进行。 Meanwhile, Erengrad will become the window of linked Kislev and world, the overseas commodity wants to come, must after the Erengrad port. But the products of other Kislev domestic places want the trade, the exit|to speak also to need after the Erengrad port. 同时,厄仑格拉德将成为连结基斯里夫和世界的窗口,国外的商品想进来,必须经过厄仑格拉德港。而基斯里夫境内其他地方的产品要贸易,出口也需要经过厄仑格拉德港。 Empire the product of multinational corporation production must sell to the Kislev inland area, must declare after the Erengrad port, but the resident in inland wants to buy the performance-to-price ratio high luxury goods, needs to go to the Erengrad city. 帝国的跨国企业生产的产品要销往基斯里夫内陆地区,必须经过厄仑格拉德口岸报关,而内地的居民想要买到性价比高的奢侈品,也需要前往厄仑格拉德城。 Erengrad, will become the entire Kislev market window, in the meantime, a large number of Empire enterprises and factories the development of production in this, from now on, if this city comes across the crisis again, these Empire men will be inevitably impossible to make a situation of standing and remaining aloof from the thing of no immediate concern to oneself again. The benefit, Erengrad and Empire closely links. In the future, if really has the foreign invasion, perhaps will not need Rod to shout propaganda, the Empire aristocrats will also form Mercenary Group to protect this city spontaneously...... 厄仑格拉德,将成为整个基斯里夫的市场窗口,同时,大量帝国企业、工厂在此生产发展,今后,若是这座城市再遇到危机,那些帝国佬势必不可能再做出一副事不关己高高挂起的态势。利益,将把厄仑格拉德和帝国紧紧联系在一起。将来,若真有外敌入侵,恐怕不需要罗德喊话,帝国贵族们也会自发组建佣兵团保护这座城市……
