Chapter 2478
Tian Yeyou said this, how could Luo Jie and Tan Juren not understand what he meant. As long as the Mining Department is willing to provide technical support, it will not be difficult for the Star Island Colonial Zone to independently develop mining. And if the two parties want to reach such a cooperative relationship, naturally they cannot avoid the key figure Tian Yeyou.
As for the expected benefits that this cooperation can bring to the Star Island Colony, Tian Yeyou also readily explained to the two of them.
He took the current island of Sumatra as an example. In addition to being rich in oil and gas resources, this island also contains coal, tin, aluminum, gold, silver, copper, iron and other minerals. It can be said that the mineral deposits needed to develop basic industries are large. Some can be found here.
Of course, not all mineral deposits are as easy to develop as the Dumai Oilfield. A considerable part of the mineral deposits are actually located in inland areas, and some of the mineral deposits are buried extremely deep underground, so development costs and technical difficulties will be very high. Moreover, in order to exploit these mineral deposits, it is necessary to negotiate with the local Aceh country, and there will also be a lot of diplomatic troubles to deal with.
However, the jurisdiction of the Star Island Colony is not limited to Sumatra. The Malay Peninsula, the western end of Kalimantan Island, and Java Island in the south can all be regarded as its sphere of influence. In recent years, there has been a trend of continuous expansion outwards. Even the coast of the Bay of Bengal to the west of the Strait of Malacca can be roughly included in this range in the future.
Based on this calculation, the mineral deposits that can be developed in the Star Island Colonial Area in the future are quite abundant. In the future, it is not impossible to build a coal-iron composite industry in the area and achieve preliminary industrialization in the area. At that stage, the Star Island Colony's dependence on the country will be greatly reduced, and Luo Jie and Tan Juren will also have greater space to display their abilities.
However, Luo Tan and Luo Tan were not dazzled by the news. They knew that Tian Yeyou would take the initiative to propose these plans and must have some agenda.
Roger took the initiative and asked: "Old Tian, open the skylight and speak frankly. What conditions do you want us to provide?"
"Happy!" Tian Yeyou said: "First of all, the South China Sea Development Foundation will participate in the development of these mineral deposits in the future."
Tian Yeyou is one of the investors of the foundation. The foundation receives a share of dividends from its participation in development and operation, and naturally he can also obtain a legal income from it. Although the proportion of personal income he can obtain will be smaller, it will continue to flow smoothly, so it will not be too ugly to become popular, and the executive committee will not make it difficult for him.
Tian Yeyou didn't need to say this too clearly. Luo Jie naturally understood his purpose and nodded immediately to express his approval of this condition.
Tian Yeyou continued: "Also, my eldest son is currently serving in Da Nang. I want to transfer him to Xingdao. Lao Luo, can you help take care of him?"
Roger smiled and said: "Is it a civilian or a combat unit?"
"Civil service."
Roger responded: "If you want to move up, you have to join the combat army. Only in this way can you accumulate military merit."
Tian Yeyou said: "How can there be any chance of meritorious service in Da Nang? If you want to get military merit now, you can only go to the border."
Roger asked: "Then why don't you think of a way to transfer to the north? There are opportunities to fight every year there, and people can rise quickly." Tian Yeyou shook his head and said, "My son has never been out of the military before graduating from Luhuitou Army Academy." Hainan Island, I am afraid that he will not be able to adapt to the climate in the north, so it is better to stay in the south to develop. I will spend more time here in the next few years, and I can take care of him."
Roger nodded slightly and said: "Since he graduated from the Army Academy, his qualifications should be good. I will send an official letter to Da Nang later and ask him to come over. He will stay in the staff for a while and then let him lead the troops after he gets used to it. What do you think?”
Tian Yeyou said: "You are an expert in this area. Of course, it is subject to your arrangements."
After a few simple conversations, the two of them had finalized the career plan for the Tian family's children. This kind of life plan paved by the parents is not uncommon among the second generation.
For the second generation, business and the military are the two most common development routes. The difficulty of doing business is undoubtedly the lowest. Even if their parents have no ability, the wealth they have accumulated through time traveler dividends over the past twenty years is extremely considerable, and there is no pressure to provide some capital for business. If you have some contacts in organizations such as the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Transportation, you can get twice the result with half the effort and get on the road easily. As long as you win the franchise rights of a certain area or a certain product, you can basically enjoy the life of a rich man with no worries about food and clothing.
Joining the army is regarded by many time-travelers as a shortcut for future generations to enter the official career. Their children can enter the most advanced military academy in Haihan when they reach adulthood, and enjoy educational resources that even naturalized officers may not be eligible for. After graduation, they will have obtained the rank of second lieutenant, and their starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people. . If you are willing to serve in the frontline combat troops on the border, it is only a matter of time before you accumulate military merit.
Of course, you can't just go to some units if you want to. If no one takes care of you, you may not be able to get promotion opportunities as expected. That's why Tian Yeyou took advantage of the current opportunity to propose his son's future arrangements to Roger in exchange.
Roger is the supreme commander of the Star Island Colonial Zone, and because it is located on the border of Haihan Kingdom, he has great authority. He can decide the appointment arrangements and promotions of his officers, and he only needs to report to the Ministry of Defense. If you want someone to come from other places, there will generally be no obstacles.
For Roger, arranging a position for Tian Yeyou's son in his own combat staff is just a piece of cake. Of course, how to provide opportunities for meritorious service and awards in the future will probably require Roger to put some thought into making arrangements.
There were only two conditions proposed by Tian Yeyou, and Roger breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He originally thought that Tian Yeyou would put forward more demands in terms of profit sharing from future mineral development, and was even worried that it would affect the income that the Star Island Colony could obtain, but the conditions proposed by the other party were not excessive. As for arranging for his son to come to his Taking up a job under his command couldn't be easier.
"Old Tian, based on the conditions you have proposed, any overseas colonial area should be happy to cooperate with you. I am very curious why you chose my place."
After discussing the terms of cooperation, Roger still couldn't resolve his doubts, so he simply asked Tian Yeyou directly.
Tian Yeyou responded to this question very frankly: "Other overseas colonial areas are either rich in products or have a good trade environment, and the level of development is higher than yours. According to my observation, this is because the Executive Committee is obsessed with stars. The island has relatively little attention and less resources invested, so I think there will be more room for development here.”
"That's it?" Roger never expected that Tian Yeyou's reason would be like this, and he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
