Restart Spain - Chapter 140

The world’s first truly global empire, Spain is home to a vast colony that no one can match.

The exploitation and utilization of resources in the Americas by Spain goes far beyond gold and silver mines, as well as crops and other mineral metals. Spain ships these resources back to domestic production and then trades the assets.

Spain began to plunder the Americas almost frantically, but these did not lead to the pre-industrialization of Spain.

After plundering the Americas, Spain seized a lot of money and resources and began to settle for the status quo, profligately squandered, and did not focus on long-term development.

As a result, the basic conditions from the beginning are not as good as other capitalist countries, hindering industrialization.

In addition to this, Spain believes in Catholicism, conservative thinking, and a very serious degree of feudalism.

The feudal force, that is, the conservatives’ contentment with the status quo, is also the fundamental reason why Spain has never been industrialized.

In addition, Spain lacks high-end scientific and technological talents. The Spanish government’s lack of attention to education is the most fundamental reason for the scarcity of domestic talents.

Spain is like a young master who has a huge family business, but only knows how to eat, drink and play. After the family property is exhausted, it can only be beaten back to its original shape.

“What Spain lacks at this time is high-end scientific and technological talents, and in the absence of our own country, it must be absorbed from the outside to develop itself!”

Alfonso said that if you want to overtake in a corner, the second industrial revolution is a plan that must be grasped.

“Whether it is Germans or Americans, it is because of the emergence of a large number of emerging talents that the economy is developing so rapidly today.”

Looking at the conservative leader Canovas in front of him, although he is an old man who is dedicated to his country, his ability to accept new things is indeed inferior to that of the Liberal Party’s Palacides.

The Spaniards never think that they have withdrawn from the clubs of European powers. In addition to the strong self-confidence brought by their glorious history, they also lack the ability to accept new things.

“Your Majesty, I think it is essential for Spain to attract high-tech talents from abroad if it wants to return to the ranks of the top powers!”

Palacides stood up. Although they work together in the Spanish government, the fact that they are in different parties is a fact after all!

“And we are not simply introducing foreign capital. Every company that accepts our loan may be regarded as a pure Spanish company, except that the owner is not Spanish!”

“Isn’t the high tariff level of the Spanish government just to provide a good development space and protection for our domestic enterprises?”

Palacides asked that the strategy of high tariffs was set by Canovas himself, in order to carry out certain trade protection for domestic industries.

But at this time, Canovas, who made this rule, has concerns.

Canovas’s original intention was to provide protection and development space for domestic industries, but he ignored the current situation of the lack of talents for Spanish nationals, which led to the slow development of domestic industries in Spain.

“Fairy Wood”

But once it faces the world, although it can attract a large number of foreign high-tech talents, the disadvantages are also obvious.

Taking Mexico as an example, the profits and products earned by foreign companies or foreign talents in Mexico are shipped back to their own countries, making Mexico the leek of European countries.

This is also what Canovas is worried about.

“I know what you are worried about, but under such high tariffs in my country, this situation can still come to Spain for investment, most of which are still Spanish loan subsidies.”

“Even if the goods sold are actually sold back to China, my country’s high tariffs can still leave great profits.”

If you are rich, you will have free trade, and if you are poor, you will be protected by trade.

It can be said that the trade policy of the West for hundreds of years is like this. At present, attracting foreign investment is not the main purpose, but attracting high-end talents is the ultimate goal.

“But Your Majesty, the amount of this money is…”

Canovas wanted to refute something, but he still didn’t say it.

The additional financial revenue of 120 million competition towers is a huge revenue that makes no one dare to act rashly. Caution is what a qualified prime minister should do.

“In this case, the Spanish international bank will lend the loan, Palacides, for the qualifications and loan amount of all the people who apply for the loan, you have to come up with the best review plan.”

Banco Santander, founded in 1853, is the largest and most official bank in Spain.

in twenty-first century. Santander ranks among the top 20 in the world and third in Europe, making it one of the largest banks in Europe.

Even in this era, the Spanish International Bank can also play a card in Europe.

The banking industry in Spain was even almost 20 years earlier than the French, the National Bank of San Carlos was the first bank in Spain, founded in 1782~www.mtlnovel.com~ and the first bank in France, the Banque de France, was founded in 1800 .

The work experience in the bank is top notch.

“In addition, the loan cycle starts from one year, and the requirement is that it must be lower than all loans in the market, and it must be attractive to foreign scientific and technological talents.”

The 120 million loan, let alone all of it, even if only a part of it can be used, will be an earth-shaking change for Spain.

“Yes, Your Majesty, but I think in order to facilitate the transition of our population from agriculture to industry, there should be a requirement for Spanish employees in companies!”

Palaciedes suggested that since the Spanish money was used, the policy must be a great compromise for the Spaniards.

Spend money to create jobs and put money in the pockets of ordinary people in Spain, and a normal triangular cycle can be built.

“In this case, according to the proportion, the Spanish employees in the company must not be less than 70 or 80%, and the subsequent changes will be made according to the situation!”

“There is also a company that has already established a company abroad. If you want to apply for a loan in Spain, you must relocate the company to Spain!”

“If the loan repayment date cannot be repaid on time, the property will be confiscated according to the situation, and the state will not support it.”

“And the number of loans must also be limited! Small and medium-sized loans are enough for a business to open normally.”

Looking at Palacides in front of him, Alfonso ordered that there must be people who want to fish in troubled waters, and preventive measures are extremely important.

“It’s Your Majesty!”

Palaciides replied with a salute.

On the other hand, Canovas seemed a little lonely.

The backwardness in concept made him opposed by the king and the finance minister on such a major event…
