Chapter 1216 South China Sea Gold Selling Cave

A plantation with such a large area naturally requires a large number of laborers. When Haihan took back the Ambrosia Islands from the Dutch, the permanent population here was only about 3,000, but Haihan continued to move forward.

Immigrants are transported here, and the population has increased nearly ten times in the past few years, which is much larger than the colonial ports in Annan.

Of course, not all of the so many immigrants are Han Chinese transported from Hainan Island. Some of them are also traded from nearby countries such as Annan and Champa. Another group that cannot be ignored is the slaves trafficked here by human traffickers from various countries.

.

Most of these slaves come from South Asia, West Asia and even East Africa, and the main traffickers are Portugal and the Netherlands, two countries that have 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. From that time on, slave traders were secretly selling people to Haihan. Later, the Netherlands' strength was greatly damaged in the battle to defend Batavia, and it was no longer possible to

Rather than put aside their old grudges with Haihan and seek trade cooperation, the slave traders had no scruples and put the human business directly on the table.

Although this business is not so humane, Haihan is eager to develop Ambon Island, and the executive committee will not have too much of a Virgin mentality on this matter. What's more, for these people who have left their homes for various reasons and become

For poor slaves, being bought by Haihan’s patrons and put to work on the plantations on Ambon Island is not necessarily a bad thing. According to Haihan’s laws, these slaves only need to complete a certain number of years of service.

After working, you can also escape from slave status and regain your freedom, or even apply for naturalization as a formal citizen. Some of them are selected by the military, or are lucky enough to have special skills in navigation, culture, handicrafts, etc.

The children were freed from slavery within a short period of time after arriving in port and were reassigned to positions that could better utilize their talents.

Such a population policy has also resulted in a diversified population of people on Amborna Island. The absolute majority are still Han Chinese, but in addition to the Han people, there are also various races from Europe to the Far East.

You can basically see it on the island, and in this aspect alone it even surpasses Sanya, which is known as the first port in the South China Sea.

As the operator, the Management Committee has also selected many smart young people from various ethnic groups and taught them to speak Chinese and recognize Chinese characters. This is not to rush them into integrating into Haihan society, but to manage the island.

The prospect requires a group of overnight Chinese and ethnic language translators. And this measure is not just to command these slaves who were trafficked to Ambon Island. After all, in most cases, only a whip can be used to achieve such a purpose.

There is no need to spend so much time. The real purpose of training translators is to be able to cope with the increasing number of foreigners coming to Ambona Island.

Due to the limited port conditions of Amborna Island, it is difficult to develop and operate it as a large-scale trading port like Da Nang or Sanya. However, it can now be operated as an entrepot trade port in the South China Sea. More

It relies on the production of the island's plantations, as well as the flow of people supported by commercial institutions and the tourism and entertainment industries. Except for the immigrants and slaves who settled here, the flow of foreign tourists on Ampona Island is actually mainly non-Chinese, so

The differences in language and culture are also very prominent. Overnight translation of various languages ​​has become an indispensable profession on the island.

"We now have more than 20 translators, but during the peak business season, this number of manpower is far from enough." Mu Xiabai said with emotion: "Every year when the island holds large-scale activities, the port is almost like a

Your arrival is so busy, there are often many fleets arriving here in a day, and the reception work is simply too busy!"

"Then why not ask for help from Sanya?" someone asked.

"The problem is that there are no translations for some ethnic groups in Sanya, so we have to figure it out on our own." Mu Xiabai said with a bitter smile: "It is not easy to teach these foreign ethnic groups."

Tan Juren said: "I remember that before time travel, I often saw short videos on the Internet teaching black children to speak Chinese. It shouldn't be difficult to teach them to speak, right?"

"That's just asking them to read along. It's not an easy task for them to understand what we say and integrate it with their own language." Mu Xiabai was somewhat disapproving of Tan Juren's question: "Ning Qi, why?"

I have made several trips here specifically to do this. Among our group, only he has taught foreign students when he was a teacher, so he still has a little bit of teaching experience."

As soon as Tan Juren heard about Ning Qi, he came to Ambon Island specifically for this matter, and more than once, which shows how seriously the above mentioned matter was taken. Of course, what he didn't know was that Ning Qi came to Ambon Island.

Not only for the "little things" like training translations, but also for other important tasks, such as attending the official meeting of the South China Sea Trade Alliance on behalf of the Executive Committee, etc. However, Mu Xiabai just brought this matter up to brag.

, of course I won’t go into detail.

The purpose of training translators on the island is to cope with the increasing flow of foreign tourists year by year. The reason why these foreigners come here, in addition to political and trade considerations, is mainly the role played by the local tourism industry.

The tourism industry on Ampurna 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 exotic animals and hunting as the main selling points. Of course, this hunting is not

You can kill whatever you see. Instead, a special hunting area has been set aside for the entertainment of dignitaries and dignitaries who come here to have fun. More dangerous carnivorous beasts are generally not put into the hunting area to reduce the risk of hurting people.

The viewing area is filled with various animals that Youzhang Yun managed to collect from all over the world. It can be said to be a very large safari park, and the profits earned from tickets, peripheral products and other means are basically used.

Maintaining daily operations, purchasing exotic organisms from businessmen, and Zhang Yun's biological research work. To put it bluntly, I don't expect to really make a lot of money from this project. The more purpose is just to attract tourists and provide services to Ambona Island.

Pinjin Cave adds a unique tourism project, and by the way, it also makes some contributions to the natural science research advocated by Zhang Yun. After all, this is a figure who is determined to replace Darwin in this time and space. Even if he has to keep throwing money into it, the executive committee will not

Full support for this.

Judging from the current operation situation, the investment in the wildlife park is far from being recovered, but the good news is that the income has basically been able to cover daily expenses, and some smart businessmen have also taken a fancy to the business opportunities here and are planning to invest some funds.

, purchase advertising space inside and outside the wildlife area to promote your own business.

If there is passenger flow, there will naturally be opportunities to monetize the traffic, and Haihan has already had a very mature business operation model for this. Moreover, there are not many low-income people who will come to the island to play, so the advertising is highly targeted.

, the returns are also quite generous.

The town area centered on the port in the north is home to most of the commercial establishments on the island, including food, drink, prostitution and gambling. They are all high-end places and cannot be compared with ordinary entertainment places in ordinary cities.

Of course, the level of consumption is naturally rising. Ordinary people will definitely take a detour after seeing it. Who said that the consumer groups targeted here are either rich or expensive?

Haihan's division of industries still follows the rules mastered by the time travellers. The first industry is the industry that provides production supplies and materials. This is also the most important part of the basic industry. All Haihan territories, including Amborna Island,

Neither will give up 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 the production areas of various raw materials, but the advanced production departments of deep processing are mainly concentrated on Hainan Island. It is precisely the technical barriers of industrialization that make Hainan

Hanergy relies on making huge profits from export trade, so it will not easily set up such advanced production departments overseas. For example, although there are large plantations on Ampur Island, the local processing workshops are not

We have the ability to deeply process these production raw materials. After the raw materials are harvested, the deep-processed parts can only be transported back to Hainan Island for processing.

The tertiary industry includes non-material production sectors such as commerce, finance, real estate, transportation, communications, and service industries. For most countries in this era, except Haihan, they have not realized its importance.

, not to mention that no one in power will support it from the level of national policy. Haihan’s emphasis on the tertiary industry is definitely ranked first in the world.

How to create value through the tertiary industry and earn more income for Haihan, a bunch of old foxes on the executive committee have their own overall plan, and specifically in Amborna Island, the implementation of the tertiary industry is based on service

industry 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 inherently

It's not the same. The management level is indeed better than that of other colonies.

"Old Mu, it's useless to talk more. You'd better take everyone to see it on the spot, so that we can understand what you said is different!" Some people no longer have the patience to listen to Mu Xiabai slowly introducing the situation on the island, and are eager to ask for more information.

Went on a field trip.

Mu Xiabai smiled and said, "Can't wait any longer? Okay, I'll go make arrangements for you right away."

The group of people coming out of Sanya are all men without exception, so the first stop of this "inspection" needless to say, is naturally to go to the fireworks place. There are more than 20 such places on the island, Haihan

Although the government did not directly operate the business, a considerable part of the money flowing here ended up in Haihan's pockets in the form of split accounts or taxes.

Tan Juren is not a saint, and he does not have a family. He has naturally gone to places like this for entertainment when he was in Sanya, so he does not feel too restrained. In his opinion, the gameplay here is not necessarily very high-end, after all, Sanya also has

There are many places that specialize in serving high-end people, and the biggest feature here is that there are many races, from white to black, which can satisfy the clients who are curious. However, Tan Juren did not have such a mentality, and just ordered a pleasing one.

After sitting down and asking, I found out that the woman with Han Chinese appearance was a mixture of Daming and Annan, and she could also speak Chinese.

Tan Juren didn't have much curiosity about this industry, and he didn't intend to learn the business tips from the brothel woman. After a few simple exchanges, he took the woman back to the room to rest. Mu Xiabai had already stated his position earlier that they were in

All food, drinks and entertainment on the island are reimbursed at public expense, so Tan Juren no longer has to pay out of his own pocket.

Early the next morning, the refreshed group of people started clamoring to go hunting in the animal area in the south. After all, most of these people worked at desks in offices for a long time. It was rare to have such an opportunity to go out for fun, so naturally they were not sure.

It is easy to miss any recreational facilities on the island. And 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.

Therefore, most of the travelers have received self-defense weapons. Of course, except for using them during training, they have basically never touched them again. This year, Haihan has grown stronger and stronger, and it is difficult for external forces to attack Hainan Island again.

If it poses a substantial threat, they will have no chance to access weapons.

Mu Xiabai did not refuse any request made by this group of people and agreed immediately. However, the straight-line distance from the town where they are currently staying to the animal area in the south is more than sixty miles, and because the natural environment is relatively

It's complicated and there are no well-built roads, so it takes about half a day to get to the area by boat.

After listening to Mu Xiabai's explanation, some people backed down. It would take a whole day to go back and forth. We will set off immediately today. When we get there, we can only play for half a day.

If they wanted to play one night and then return tomorrow, they would have to spend two days just in this place, and then at least another day or two to inspect the local plantations. They just stayed here temporarily for a few days to wait for the ship to be repaired.

I'm not really here for a vacation. The time is very limited, and some people who are not interested in wild animals and hunting are not willing to go so far.

Tan Juren didn't think it mattered, and he had originally planned to take advantage of this rare opportunity to visit his old friend Zhang Yun. They had known each other during the preparation period before the time travel, and they were relatively close to each other, although Tan Juren didn't understand

Zhang Yun is a professional, but this does not prevent them from becoming friends who talk about everything. However, in recent years, Zhang Yun has been conducting overseas inspections to collect information for his masterpieces, so the two have not met for a long time.
