Just after the first Supreme Soviet election, the Supreme Soviets of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Moldavia successively filed applications to withdraw from the Soviet Union. The CPSU felt helpless about this, because the ruling party in these republics was no longer the CPSU.
According to Soviet law, the republics had the right to withdraw from the Soviet Union. The Supreme Soviets of these countries are naturally entitled to demand this. Gorbachev and the Central Committee of the CPSU felt helpless about this. At the same time when these countries applied to withdraw from the Soviet Union, the Central Bank of Eastern Europe received requests from these countries to apply to join the Eastern European single market.
Since the Central Bank of Eastern Europe obtained the right to issue currency and replaced the original central banks of various countries. Severe inflation in countries such as Poland has finally been contained. And because of the opening of the borders, the elimination of tariffs. The market across Eastern Europe has become even larger. Including the newly joined Bulgaria and Romania, in Eastern Europe, a total of 100 million people use the Eastern Euro guaranteed by Colombian banks.
Poland's mineral resources were sold to the Czech Republic, while Czech machine-processed products could enter agriculturally developed Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria without tariffs. Romania's petrochemical products have gradually opened up the market in these countries, and the port throughput of Gdansk in Poland and Constanta in Romania has begun to prosper again because of the huge market. All this shows that the plan of the unified market has caused the participating countries' economies to begin to respond positively and positively.
Governments in these countries have finally breathed a sigh of relief as their economies picked up. At the same time, they also firmly believe that the Central Bank of Eastern Europe is the guarantee of economic development in Eastern Europe. In order to make this economic system not affected by the rotation of political parties. Each of the participating countries is in the process of amending their own constitutions to legalize the single market and the Central Bank of Eastern Europe.
Although the economies of various countries have begun to improve, enterprises in Eastern Europe are still unable to compete with developed capitalist countries. This is difficult even for Skoda, the industrial jewel of the Czech Republic. In order to reduce the cost of industrial and agricultural production in participating countries as a whole, cheap industrial raw materials and energy are indispensable. Therefore, the market committee under the Eastern European Central Bank began to coordinate with various countries and negotiate with the eastern neighbor, the Soviet Union, on industrial raw materials, agricultural products, and energy supply. Hope to reach a fair and mutually beneficial cooperation agreement.
The basic framework of this agreement was born out of the European Steel and Coal Community in 1951. At that time, Western European countries were unable to gain a competitive advantage with cheap steel from the United States due to uneven coal resources. In order to alleviate this situation. Western European countries formed the European Steel and Coal Community to reduce the cost of industrial production. Eastern Europe is not as rich in mineral resources and energy as the Soviet Union. If you rely solely on the resources of Poland and Romania, you cannot afford the industrial production of the entire Eastern European region. On the other hand, the Glencore Group imported a large amount of cotton, electrolytic aluminum, coal, petroleum and other resource products from the Soviet Union. These products are exactly what the Eastern European region needs. Once the cooperation is reached, the prospect of cooperation between the two parties will be huge.
Because the Soviet Union had just successfully resolved the Kuwait crisis at the United Nations,
Coupled with Gorbachev's new thinking policy, the Soviet Union has always maintained a friendly attitude towards the independence of Eastern European countries. Cooperation between an independent Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union that has not completely turned to the West is entirely possible. Whether it is for the Soviet Union or the participating countries of the unified market, putting aside ideological contradictions and actively developing the economy is the most important task at present.
Against this background, the negotiations between Nastia and the participating countries of the unified market went very smoothly. The two sides have signed some cooperation intentions in agricultural products, natural gas, oil, electricity and transportation. In order to avoid interference from politics and parties, these cooperations are all led by companies, such as the Mediterranean Shipping Group, which won a large number of ports and railways in the process of privatizing the unified market country, and the railway company of the Soviet Union. A transport agreement was reached. The Enron Group, which also occupies more than 90% of the electricity market in the unified market countries, signed an agreement on electricity cooperation with the Soviet State Electricity Company. In addition, the Eurasian Gas Group, Glencore Group, and Occidental Petroleum Group have all achieved fruitful results in this meeting. Of course, their partners are the most powerful official companies in the Soviet Union, which belong to the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. Its Mediterranean Trading Group.
Since the large-scale economic construction activities initiated by Sergey have never been projected to the three Baltic states and the Transcaucasus region, where separatism is serious, the independence of these regions has no impact on Sergey. There are still only a few options before these countries, either join the Eastern European unified market, or stay in the Soviet Union. Western countries and the United States dare not invest in these regions. Once the political regimes in these countries win the general election again, the investment in Europe and the United States is likely to be in vain. And these countries cannot cope with the bad inflation and economic recession in the country after independence. Under this background, joining the Eastern European unified market will be the only way out.
Seryozha has long planned that his Eastern European unified market will become an economic cooperation organization similar to the euro zone in the future. It's just that this organization is dominated by Columbia Bank. Seryozha does not expect the Central Bank of Eastern Europe to exist forever. Perhaps in the future, the huge Colombia will split into several smaller banks. Like Rockefeller's Standard Oil. But Seryozha can always firmly control this institution behind the scenes through the offshore financial center. In fact, Seryozha already has such a plan.
Not only Bank of Colombia, but giants like Glencore, Mediterranean Shipping Company, and Iridium Group are too eye-catching now. Only those companies in Karim's hands still maintain a competitive relationship with each other even if they are acquired. It seems that Karim is still more clever in this respect. Know how to hide your strength.
Before the danger came, he first chose to disintegrate himself, and then continued to control the huge industry of the Gorky consortium through a series of cross-shareholdings and offshore holdings. Doing so can not only ensure their own safety, but also make a good sorting out of their industries. In order to better discuss the future of the Gorky Consortium, Seriosha decided to hold a long-awaited core meeting of the Gorky Consortium in Switzerland.
