For such a large plantation, the labor required is naturally not a small amount.When Haihan recaptured the Annabuna Islands from the Dutch, the resident population here was only about [-], but Haihan continued to send immigrants here, and the population has doubled ten times in a few years, a few times more than Annan. The scale of the colonial port is much larger.
Of course, so many immigrants are not all Han Chinese transported from Hainan Island, some of them were traded from nearby countries such as Annan and Champa, and there is another group that cannot be ignored, that is, slaves trafficked here by human traffickers from various countries up.
Most of these slaves came from South Asia, West Asia and even East Africa, and the main traffickers were Portugal and the Netherlands, two countries that had established official trade relations with Haihan.In fact, after the Dutch East India Company was defeated by Haihan in the South China Sea, the slave market in Batavia was not affected by the relationship between the two countries. Since then, slave traders have been secretly selling people to Haihan.Later, the Netherlands suffered a great loss in the Batavia Defense War, and had to put aside their old grievances with Haihan to seek trade cooperation.
Although this business is not so humane, Haihan is eager to develop Ambuna Island, and the Executive Committee will not have too much of a Madonna mentality in this matter.What's more, for these poor people who left their hometowns and became slaves due to various reasons, it may not be a bad thing to be bought by Haihan's customers and put into the plantation on Anbuna Island to work.According to Haihan's law, as long as these slaves have completed a certain number of years of work, they can also regain their freedom from slavery, and even apply for naturalization in Haihan to become a full-fledged citizen.Among them, some lucky ones who were selected by the military, or had special skills in navigation, culture, handicrafts, etc., were freed from slavery within a short time after arriving in the port, and were reassigned to places that could better utilize their specialties. on post.
And such a population policy has also made the races on Ambuna Island diverse.The Han people still occupy the absolute majority, but apart from the Han people, all kinds of races along the route from Europe to the Far East can basically be seen on the island. Hong Kong's Sanya.
As the operator, the Management Committee also selected many young people with bright minds from various ethnic groups to teach them to speak Chinese and know Chinese characters.This is not to rush them into the Haihan society, but the business prospects on the island require a group of translators who can translate Chinese and languages of various ethnic groups overnight.And this measure is not just to command these slaves who have been trafficked to Ambuna Island. After all, in most cases, only a whip can be used to achieve such a goal, without so much effort.The real purpose of training translators is to be able to cope with the increasing number of foreigners who come to Ambuna Island.
Due to the limited port conditions of Ambuna Island, it is difficult to develop and operate it as a large-scale trading port like Da Nang or Sanya, but now it can be operated as a entrepot trade port in the South China Sea, more Most of them rely on the production of plantations on the island, as well as the flow of people supported by commercial institutions and tourism and entertainment.In addition to the immigrants and slaves who came to settle here, the foreign tourists on Ambuna Island are mainly non-Chinese, so the differences in language and culture are also very prominent, and overnight translation of various languages has become an indispensable part of the island. a profession.
"We now have more than 20 translators, but when the business season comes, this manpower is far from enough." Mu Xiabo said with a sigh: "Every year when large-scale activities are held on the island, the port is almost like yours. The arrival is so busy, there are often many fleets arriving here in one day, and the reception work is simply too busy!"
"Then why don't you ask Sanya for help?" someone asked.
"The problem is that there are translations for some races, and Sanya doesn't have them, so we can only figure it out on our own." Mu Xiabo said with a wry smile, "It is not an easy task to teach these foreign races."
Tan Juren said: "I remember seeing those short videos on the Internet teaching black children to speak Chinese before time travelling. It shouldn't be difficult to teach them to speak, right?"
"It's just to let them read along. It's not an easy task to let them understand what we said and then integrate with their own language." Mu Xiabo was a little disapproving of Tan Juren's question: "Ning Qi This matter has been specially made several times here, and among our group of people, only he has taught foreign students when he was a teacher before, and he still has a little teaching experience."
Tan Ju heard that Ning Qi had come to Ambuna Island specifically for this matter, and more than once, which also shows how much the higher authorities attach importance to this matter.Of course, what he didn’t know was that Ning Qi’s visit to Ambuna Island was not only for training the “trivial things” of translation, but also shouldered other important missions, such as representing the Executive Committee to attend the official meeting of the South China Sea Trade Alliance, etc. .But Mu Xiabai just took this matter out and boasted, of course he wouldn't say it in such detail.
The purpose of training translators on the island is to cope with the increasing foreign passenger flow year by year. Apart from political and trade considerations, the main reason for attracting these foreigners to come here is the role played by the local tourism industry.
The tourism industry on Ambuna Island is mainly divided into two parts, the north and the south. Needless to say, the south is naturally dominated by the wildlife area managed by Zhang Yun, with rare birds and animals and hunting as the main selling points.Of course, this hunting is not to kill anything you see, but to set up a special hunting area for the dignitaries who come here for entertainment, and the more dangerous carnivorous beasts are generally not placed in the hunting area to reduce the risk of hunting. Risk of injury.
In the viewing area, there are all kinds of animals that Zhang Yun managed to collect from all over the world. It can be said to be a large-scale wild animal park, and the profits earned here by relying on tickets, peripheral products, etc. are basically used. Maintain daily operations, purchase alien organisms from merchants, and Zhang Yun's biological research work.To put it bluntly, I didn’t expect to make a lot of money by relying on this project. The more purpose was to attract tourists, to add a unique tourism project to the gold-selling cave on Ambuna Island, and to do some research on natural science advocated by Zhang Yun. Contribution, after all, this person is determined to replace Darwin in this time and space, even if he has to keep throwing money into it, the Executive Committee will give full support for it.
Judging from the current operating situation, the investment in the wildlife park is far from recovered, but the good news is that the income has basically been able to cover daily expenses, and some smart businesses have also taken a fancy to the business opportunities here and are planning to invest some funds , Buy advertising space inside and outside the wildlife area to promote your own business.
If there is a flow of passengers, there will naturally be opportunities to realize the flow of traffic, and Haihan has already had a very mature business operation model for this, not to mention that there are no low-income people who will come to the island to play, and the advertising is highly targeted , and the rewards are quite generous.
On the other hand, the town area in the north with the port as the center is where most of the commercial establishments on the island are concentrated. They have everything you need to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and they are all high-end places, which cannot be compared with ordinary entertainment places in ordinary cities.Of course, the level of consumption is naturally rising. Ordinary people will definitely have to take a detour after seeing it. Who makes the consumers targeted here be either rich or expensive?
Haihan's division of industries still follows the rules mastered by the traversers. The primary industry is the industry that provides production materials and materials. This is also the most important part of the basic industry. All Haihan territories including Ambuna Island Neither will give up on the development of the primary industry.
The secondary industry refers to the processing industry. The primary processing workshops of this part of the industry are scattered in various raw material production areas, but the advanced production departments for deep processing are mainly concentrated on Hainan Island. Hanergy relies on its huge profits from export trade, so it will not easily set up such advanced production departments overseas.For example, although there are quite large plantations on Ambuna Island, the local processing workshops do not have the ability to further process these raw materials. After the raw materials are harvested, the further processed parts can only be transported back to Hainan Island for further processing. deal with.
The tertiary industry includes non-material production sectors such as commerce, finance, real estate, transportation, communication, and service industries.For the vast majority of countries in this era, except for Haihan, they have not realized its importance, and there will be no rulers to support it from the national policy level.Haihan's emphasis on the tertiary industry is definitely the first in the world.
How to create value through the tertiary industry and earn more income for Haihan? Business as the main body, and by the way, promote Haihan's business and financial model.This method of operation is actually not new, and Ambuna Island is not the first overseas colony to use this method, but its own positioning and customer groups are not the same, and the management level is indeed better than other colonies.
"Old Mu, it's useless to talk too much. You'd better take everyone to see it on the spot, so that you can understand what you said is different!" Went for a field trip.
Mu Xiabo said with a smile: "I can't wait any longer? Alright, I'll make arrangements for you right away."
The group of people who came out of Sanya were all men without exception, so needless to say, the first stop of this "investigation" was naturally to go to the place of fireworks.There are more than 20 such establishments on the island. Although Haihan officials did not directly operate them, a considerable part of the money that flowed in here ended up in Haihan's pockets in the form of split accounts or taxes.
Tan Juren is not a saint, and he didn't have a family. Naturally, he went to this kind of place for recreation when he was in Sanya, so he didn't feel too restrained.In his opinion, the gameplay here is not necessarily high-end. After all, Sanya also has a lot of venues that serve high-end people. The biggest feature here is that there are many kinds of people, from white to black, everything that one expects to find. It can satisfy the curiosity. Mental whore.But Tan Juren didn't have such a mentality. He just ordered a woman with a pleasing Han appearance. After sitting down and asking, he found out that the other party was a mixed blood of Daming and Annan, and she could speak Chinese.
Tan Juren didn't have much curiosity about this industry, and he didn't intend to learn the tricks of the business from the brothel woman. After a few simple exchanges, he took the woman back to the room to rest.Mu Xiabai had already stated earlier that they would be reimbursed at public expense for their meals, drinks and entertainment on the island, and Tan Juren no longer had to pay for it out of his own pocket.
Early the next morning, the refreshed group clamored to go hunting in the animal area in the south.After all, almost all of these people have been working at desks in the office for a long time, and it is rare to have such a chance to come out to let the wind go. Naturally, they will not easily miss any recreational facilities on the island.Hunting is definitely a novelty for them. The last time most of them came into contact with weapons probably dates back to the early days of time travel. At that time, there was a serious shortage of defense manpower, so most of the time travelers received self-defense weapons. .Of course, apart from using it during training, I basically didn’t touch it again. This year, Haihan has grown stronger and stronger. It is difficult for any external forces to pose a real threat to Hainan Island, and they have never touched weapons. opportunity.
Mu Xiabo never refused the demands of this group of people, and agreed immediately.However, the straight-line distance between the town where they are staying and the animal area in the south is more than sixty miles, and because the natural environment is relatively complicated, there is no road built, so it takes about half a day to travel to this area. Only boats will do.
After listening to Mu Xiabai's explanation, some people backed off. It would take a whole day to go there, and they would set off immediately today, and they could only play for half a day when they got there. If you want to play for one night and return tomorrow, it will take two days for this place alone, and at least one or two days for visiting the local plantations afterwards.They just stayed here for a few days to wait for the ship to be repaired. They didn't really come for vacation. The time was very limited, and some people who were not interested in wild animals and hunting were reluctant to travel so far.
Tan Juren didn't think it mattered, and he had planned to take this rare opportunity to visit his old friend Zhang Yun.They got to know each other during the preparation period before crossing, and they got along pretty well. Although Tan Juren didn't understand Zhang Yun's major, it didn't prevent them from becoming friends who talked about everything.However, in recent years Zhang Yun has been investigating overseas to collect information for his masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, and the two have not met for a long time.
