Chapter 1034 Status Quo of Heilan City
At this time, we had to go to Frossoya once for both reason and reason. Therefore, while the Olympic bid was still more than two months away, Jing Jian set out for Helan City.
It has been more than five years since the last arrival, so when Jing Jian got off the plane, he suddenly discovered that the entire city of Helan City had undergone tremendous changes.
In a word, the whole city has become quite prosperous. With commercial streets and many entertainment venues, there are many vehicles coming and going on the streets. Most of them are used cars, and motorcycles are even more rampant. There are even several high-rise buildings in the city center.
Now the mayor of Helan City is Busancho. He and the local garrison commander and the Marshal of the Navy (don't worry about this rank) are two local giants. Of course, behind them are the former president, the elders of the Tribe Alliance headed by Kanu's uncle, who are remotely controlled.
However, from the current perspective, the upper class of Helan City is still relatively united, and the municipal government has even made considerable achievements. Relying on the rolling income brought by oil, not only has the municipal construction been carried out well, but it also vigorously encourages the development of industry and commerce. Therefore, Helan City has become poor and has become a modern city.
Especially in the industry, many small factories related to the oil industry have been built. Although the technical funds of these small factories are basically from abroad, the tax revenue is a lot, which makes it convenient for those oil companies to import even bolts, right?
In addition, there are preferential policies for agriculture and fishery. The wasteland around Helan City has been developed in large quantities, mainly contracted for those Chinese. Many Chinese who come to Helan City to work feel like they have angina pectoris when they see the abandoned black soil, and Helan City also happens to need manpower to develop it. The two sides hit it off, and many Chinese immediately used their farming talent and transformed into small farmers.
The ocean is an inexhaustible treasure, and the fishing rights in the offshore are also taken out. I even heard that I am planning to develop coastal aquaculture industry recently.
To be honest, compared with industry, the income from agriculture and fishery is inconspicuous, and it is even more incomparable to the income from oil extraction. However, with a large number of agricultural products and seafood, the situation in Helan City is quite stable, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing. The living requirements of the black millet are easily met. It is also beneficial to Busancho and Kanu and others to win people's hearts. Indeed, the local people in Helan City are very high.
And on the other hand, if the income is small, that is also income. Busancho and others will not dislike the small money. Due to the bumper harvest year by year, local agricultural and seafood are not only enough to meet local consumption, but also have the ability to export to other regions, neighboring countries, Europe and... China. Although the current volume is still relatively small, with the continuous development of wasteland, the surrounding areas of Helan City have already looked like a small African granary.
By the way, the marine fishing companies here are composed of three joint ventures of local forces, Jingjian and CNOOC. Those large European and American oil companies do not look down on this part, but the Chinese will not dislike this "scrap".
Why was it exported to China? Maybe it was a joke. Maybe the tongues of local Africans and Europeans had not evolved completely and could not eat the sea fish with many thorns. It can only be said that they did not taste the best seafood flavor.
During this period, the price of fresh seafood was even higher than the current price since the fishing and breeding industry had not developed. It is not an exaggeration to imagine that the later currency depreciation should have exceeded the current price by more than ten times the year-on-year price? Therefore, the domestic can easily digest it, turning all the "garbage" that no one wants here and poured into the country into treasures. And the quantity is not large. For example, last year, CNOOC issued New Year's goods and digested the inventory in an instant.
There is a phenomenon that is quite interesting. The fishing company hired a large number of former Soviet fishermen. It is not that fishermen cannot be found in China, but that there are no ocean fishing fleets? It happens to be that Nona's relationship, so a large number of former Soviet Union's "scrapped copper and rotten iron" quickly started their business together with the ship and people.
The former Soviet Union's ocean-going fishing industry was a strong move, and it was always blocking the doors of other countries to fish desperately. Want to launch a coast guard ship to drive it away? Haha, are you kidding? Some of their fishing boats have torpedo launch devices. Do you want to go straight to heaven with one shot?
...
Anyway, Helan City is developing quite well. Of course, Busancho and Kanu are also very selfish, and their personal pockets are also rising day and night. However, in Asia, Africa and Latin America, we can praise it very capable and we cannot demand too much.
It is such selfishness that also causes prosperity and deformity. For example, there are people-oriented projects such as water and electricity hospitals, and face-saving projects such as stadiums, which can be seen in the short term.
But the investment in education is quite insufficient. There are only a few elite schools, of course, elite aristocratic schools are also very profitable. But popularizing education is very bad. It is because it is too slow to achieve results.
There is no doubt that this is a universal problem. Those problems in backward countries are largely a problem of education investment. The most important thing in education is to popularize education and family education. The former requires at least one generation to take effect, long-term and persistent investment, and accumulated strength for decades before the results can be achieved. The latter requires the whole society to form a stable public opinion atmosphere in the family, that is, a large amount of publicity costs and a large number of conscientious media people repeatedly promote it, creating an environment for healthy growth for children.
At this point, the black millets were doing very badly. Are they really stupid and lazy? Why did they use black slaves during the colonial period? It was not the colonists who were conscientious and had never tried other races, all kinds of indigenous people had used them, and even captured Indians, and even Chinese sold "piglets". It was because they finally discovered that blacks had the highest cost-effectiveness and finally "survival of the fittest".
Even in modern times, black elites are emerging one after another, and even the commanders of the Hope Country have already had black people. Let’s take a look at the anti-racial discrimination movement! A very righteous and politically correct movement has been twisted into a movement that seems to be the victims of black skin? At least we can see which organizers’ methods have also gained a lot of benefits for black people, right?
But it was because of the educational issue that black slaves had been liberated for more than a century, and the entire black group still lives at the bottom of society.
