    Yugoslav official Novakovic was very surprised by the impromptu visit of the Chinese. Generally, similar activities are arranged about a year in advance, but the Chinese unexpectedly greeted them a month ago. Yugoslavia could not ask them not to come, and this  The Chinese delegation was led by a vice minister of foreign affairs and a vice minister of commerce. It mainly discussed economic cooperation between China and South Africa. For Yugoslavia, whose economy has been in trouble, although it is not very economical for third world countries like China,  It's worth looking at, but China is a big country after all, and it has been in a lot of limelight in the past two years. If you can't offend it, don't offend it.

    The Chinese delegation came to Belgrade in a very low-key manner. The two sides did not conduct any large-scale ceremonial activities, but directly entered the stage of closed-door meetings.

    The two sides sat on both sides of the long table, and each calmly reviewed the development of bilateral relations and topics such as the traditional friendship between China and South Africa. Then, when the Yugoslav officials were a little sleepy, suddenly China Business  A humble-looking guy said something that woke them all up.

    ¡°China intends to provide a low-interest, long-term assistance loan of 6 billion yuan to Yugoslavia, and hopes to conduct more in-depth and extensive cooperation with Yugoslavia in terms of economy and trade.¡±

    Novakovic's mind was spinning rapidly. Although the RMB is not yet a major currency in the world and its credibility is not very high, they have all understood the value of the RMB before. The loan of RMB 1.6 billion is  Although 200 million U.S. dollars may not seem like much, in the 1980s, few countries had a GDP output value of tens of billions of dollars, and 200 million U.S. dollars is simply a big cake.

    Of course, what makes them a little disappointed is that this big cake is a RMB loan rather than a US dollar loan.

    However, Novakovic and his colleagues quickly realized a problem. To a certain extent, the big cake offered by the Chinese is not inferior to the aid that the United States wants to give them, and the United States has given quite a lot of aid.  Many people believe that if the United States accepts the conditions, it is very likely that the country will fall into a greater crisis and lose its sovereignty.  Facts have proved that this worry is extremely realistic.

    Lai Zhenping continued seriously: "In addition, we understand the current economic difficulties of the Southern Federation, and we sincerely hope to help the Southern Federation get out of the predicament. If we can get the permission of the Southern Federation, our capital can enter the Southern Federation to acquire some poorly managed enterprises and reorganize them."  and adjust corporate structures and business models. Many companies in our country have rich experience in structural adjustments and corporate reforms, and have achieved great success. I believe that in this way, we can restore profitability to many companies and provide services to the working people of your country.  job opportunity¡­¡­"

    After listening to Lai Zhenping's words, although some Yugoslav officials were still quite disapproving, officials such as Novakovic and other practical officials were secretly interested in it.  Although Yugoslavia's system is more open than that of the Soviet Union, it still maintains a large number of state-owned enterprises. These enterprises had their own glory in the 1960s and 1970s, but today they are basically equivalent to non-performing assets.  In addition, many factory unions and workers are constantly making trouble because they are dissatisfied with lower wages and longer working hours.  In this case, even if Yugoslavia is determined to reform and does not mention the issue of money or lack of money, it will be inconvenient for them to do it themselves.

    For foreign-funded enterprises, there is more room to deal with it. Otherwise, how can we say that capitalism is bloody and dark? Under socialist public ownership, employees are not fired just because they are fired. Although capitalist countries also have labor security agreements, in practice,  Companies still have many ways to lay off workers.

    Novakovic also got to know some Chinese companies and businesses, and was surprised to find that China's progress in industry and commerce in recent years has been astonishing. Moreover, as China is a great country, basically the entire industry has blossomed, in both major and minor aspects.  Achievements have been made in different fields such as industry, agriculture and high technology.  In some very trendy and promising industries, such as the microelectronics industry and the information industry, China has undoubtedly become the world leader as much as the United States.  As a responsible economic bureaucrat, Novakovic believes that if the enterprises invested by China are similar high-tech enterprises, it will only be beneficial to Yugoslavia's economic and industrial development, and there will be no harm.

    Lai Zhenping saw what some people were thinking and continued to add: "Chinese economists have studied the current economic situation of the Federal Republic of South Korea and believe that the economy of the Federal Republic of South Korea is seriously affected by the lack of energy self-sufficiency.  It began to decline due to the oil crisis. In this regard, our country's economists have proposed some solutions, and our country is very willing to share them with the Federal Republic of South Korea. The first is to build nuclear power plants with large installed capacity"

    As soon as he finished speaking, Novakovic frowned and interrupted him: "Nuclear power plant, we don't know much about your country's nuclear technology, and we believe that the Chernobyl incident in 193 is still before us, and we don't know much about it."  It¡¯s difficult to make such a decision.¡±

    Several people glanced at Novakovic and were secretly dissatisfied. Lai Zhenping also saw that the Yugoslav Federation seemed to be concerned about its economic problems.?There is no big solution and no unified consensus can be reached.  In Lai Zhenping's view, as long as the energy problem of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is solved, appropriate corporate transformation is carried out, and it survives the past few years and enters the boom period of the 1990s, if the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia does not go the way of the civil war, it will at least not be worse than the civil war.  Several other Eastern European countries are even worse, because the foundation of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is the strongest among several Eastern European countries.

    Lai Zhenping explained again: "Our country's nuclear technology is independently developed and has been carefully verified. There has never been a major accident in operation for many years. If comrades from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia are interested in this, I can arrange for your experts to visit our country for inspection.  Investing in the construction of a nuclear power plant is not something that happens overnight. It naturally requires slow planning. Speaking of safety issues, your country also has a nuclear power plant with an installed capacity of 60,000 kilowatts near Zagreb, so the worry should not be about whether it is available or not.  We are also quite confident that we can ensure the safety of the nuclear power plants built in our country.¡±

    He pursed his lips and said: "In addition, your country's current lack of energy cannot be solved simply by relying on a long-term nuclear power plant. Your country has relatively abundant water resources, and it is more realistic to build some small and medium-sized hydropower stations. In addition,  In terms of energy imports, our country can provide coal mines to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In addition, our country has signed a large-scale natural gas underwriting contract with Algeria and can build natural gas processing and power plants in your country.¡±

    "In addition, in the face of a surge in unemployment, falling wages of workers, insufficient social consumption, and shortages of goods, Chinese experts believe that your country can use the loan funds provided by our country to organize some major infrastructure construction projects.  Infrastructure construction, and some of the projects that our country hopes to assist, are obviously included. These large-scale projects will quickly absorb a large number of laborers and provide them with the wages they need to live. After the infrastructure is completed, it will have a pulling effect on the economy.  It will be produced soon and will benefit future economic development. In response to the problems of consumption and commodity shortage, our country happens to have strong commodity manufacturing capabilities, and they are more cost-effective and high-quality than those made in Europe. If your country can appropriately open up our country's products.  Commodity retail and trade can reduce the cost of living of residents of the Southern Commonwealth to a considerable extent.¡±

    Every time Lai Zhenping said something, Yugoslavs were shocked. Each of these is easy to say, but in the end it is definitely a huge undertaking. If we can really get China's support for these projects, then Yugoslavia will  Maybe we can actually get out of our economic predicament.

    Lai Zhenping said leisurely: "We have also learned through some channels the economic prescriptions prescribed by the Americans for comrades in Yugoslavia. Our experts believe that if Yugoslavia really accepts this kind of shock therapy from the United States, it will only cause greater economic difficulties. The original  The United States regarded Yugoslavia as an anti-Soviet European bridgehead, but now that the Soviet Union is in full decline, Yugoslavia's role is not so obvious. With such a strong conservative atmosphere, can the United States really be kind enough to help Yugoslavia and see a socialist country flourish?  Are we going to continue? On the other hand, we in China are both socialist brothers, and we have no ambitions for world hegemony. We sincerely and enthusiastically hope that the socialist system can be improved and developed, and support the continued extension of the international communist movement. We sincerely hope that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia can tide over the difficulties.  ¡±

    Novakovic also feels that compared with the United States, China's motives are definitely much purer than those of the United States. If there is no other way, Yugoslavia does not believe in the path that the Americans have found for them.  But Novakovic also didn¡¯t trust the Chinese very much. He firmly believed that so-called mutual help in international politics rarely happened, so he asked: ¡°Then what benefits do Chinese comrades hope to gain from helping Yugoslavia?  ?¡±

    Lai Zhenping smiled and said: "I think the benefits of gaining the friendship of Yugoslavia, deepening our bilateral relations, consolidating the continued development of socialism around the world, and sharing Yugoslavia's economic interests in the process of economic recovery and progress are obvious.  of."

    Novakovic and many Yugoslav officials were not used to the Chinese diplomatic logic for a while. Lai Zhenping explained with a smile: "Yes, the methods of dealing with international issues between our country and the United States and the Soviet Union are very different. This is our China's  model, equality, sincerity, and mutual benefit.¡±

    Having said so much, even if not all of it is fulfilled, it would be a great thing for the Southern Federation to be able to realize some of it.  Some Yugoslav officials have begun to think about how they can get out of the predicament with the help of China.  In fact, they also know very well that the United States is a poisonous snake that bites people, and it is indeed rash to entrust their lives to them.

    Novakovic plans that if we can obtain dual assistance from China and the United States, and at the same time solve the crisis and use China and the United States to restrain each other, then Yugoslavia's national interests will be protected to the greatest extent in the balance.
