At the beginning of the new year, various big news began to appear in Sanya.
First, coalition forces composed of troops stationed across the South China Sea suddenly sent troops to the Strait of Malacca and occupied several key islands, thereby achieving direct control of this important waterway in the South China Sea.
Then the North American region, which had been keeping a low profile, finally showed its power and sent troops south to seize a strategic coastal location there, and also wiped out a Spanish fleet. It is worth mentioning that the number of Spanish prisoners of war captured by the Haihan Army in this battle broke the record that had been held for twenty years by the Battle of Manila.
These two major events have become an important topic of conversation for people after dinner recently, and the popularity has even surpassed the rumors that this year’s National Day event will be moved to Hangzhou.
But both the Straits of Malacca and North America are too far away for ordinary people. Most of the relevant information comes from word of mouth, and they only have a vague impression of them.
People's vision is limited, so news and comments from newspapers often become their most trusted news channel. The focus of discussion is also more focused on the performance of the Haihan Army. Very few people will link these overseas wars with their own vital interests.
In the past thirty years, after Haihan occupied new territory overseas, various recruitment activities for immigrants often followed. In order to attract immigrants, the government of the new colony often offers various preferential conditions, such as land distribution, settlement allowance, exemption from taxes, granting nationality, etc., and holds publicity activities in domestic cities such as Sanya.
Although there are indeed many such activities, the audience is often only a small number of extremely poor people, as well as non-Han ethnic groups who hope to naturalize Haihan as soon as possible. The vast majority of people who have families, property, and stable lives would not consider leaving their hometowns and moving elsewhere, nor would they pay much attention to information about overseas regions recruiting immigrants.
Because of this, recruitment activities are usually funded by overseas organizations stationed in Sanya and co-organized by local dental banks. However, because the remuneration of the dental office is directly linked to the number of people eventually recruited, if you spend too much money on recruitment activities, you will easily lose money, so the scene is generally not too big, and the recruitment cycle lasts only about a month. .
However, this situation seems to have changed this year. The immigration recruitment promotion campaign launched by the Sing Tao Region recently is very different from previous years.
This time the promotional event is no longer dominated by one dental store, but jointly organized by the five largest local dental stores in Sanya. Promotional notices were posted all over the city three days in advance, and even specially booked Several large billboards standing on high places in the port area and urban areas amplified the momentum. As long as you are not blind, you cannot ignore the existence of these advertisements.
And the theme this time is no longer immigration recruitment, but "giving back." The organizer announced that in order to repay the support of the people over the years, celebrate the 30th anniversary of the National Day, and the recent victory in the Strait of Malacca, the Sing Tao Region will repay its gratitude by donating overseas assets free of charge.
This is not just talk, the rewards provided by the organizers are really exciting.
The highest award is the operating income of a farm with an area of 500 acres in the next twenty years, and the corresponding exemption from all taxes.
During this period, the farm can be operated by the winner or handed over to the local government. In other words, the winner does not even need to move to Xingdao to settle down, he can enjoy the benefits and live a prosperous landowner life from then on.
There are several levels of rewards from here on down, all of which are farm income, but the area and time limit will decrease successively.
But even the lowest level of rewards includes five years of tax exemption on thirty acres of land. Of course, this is only slightly better than the treatment received by new immigrants who moved from China, but for most people who have never paid attention to the immigration conditions of Xingdao, it is not unattractive.
All prizes will be awarded to winners through a public draw. The first round of lottery draws is the day of the preview event, and one hundred lucky people will receive rewards from the organizer. Don’t be upset if you don’t win, as you still have the chance to participate in the next round of draws with higher prizes.
The conditions for participating in the event are very simple. As long as the participant is an adult national with Haihan nationality, he or she can sign up, receive a recommendation letter, and then get the signature recommendation of five nationals to qualify for the lottery. However, winners must verify the authenticity of their signatures, and those who commit fraud will be disqualified and face lawsuits.
Isn't this activity equivalent to giving away money for free? The five major dental shops were suddenly crowded with long queues, all coming to sign up and receive recommendation letters.
It's so easy to get five signatures. Neighbors, relatives and friends can all get a recommendation letter and sign each other's names, and they will all be eligible for the lottery.
Several local tabloids in Sanya also published introductions to related activities and added some details. For example, the lottery ceremony on the day of the event will be held in the Victory Square in the center of the city. Another example is that the first round of lottery will be set to draw one out of 100 people, first come first served, and it will end when 100 winners are drawn.
Storytellers in some teahouses also temporarily acted as event commentators, explaining the registration procedures and lottery procedures to those who did not understand the rules.
In the lobby on the ground floor of Jingsi Pavilion, Mr. Zhan, the storyteller, also responded to the audience's request and stopped his recent lecture on "Snowstorm Nanguan Ridge" and instead explained the rules of this event to the audience.
Although the customers here are all wealthy people, they may not participate in this kind of lottery, but this has been a hot topic of public opinion recently, and everyone is interested in exploring the mystery.
Someone asked aloud: "Mr. Zhan, according to this rule, if you have won a small prize before, you are not eligible to draw the big prize. Then I will not participate in the previous rounds of draws and just wait for the final round to draw the big prize. Wouldn't it be nice?"< br>
Someone responded: "In this case, no one will participate in the lottery in the first few rounds. Wouldn't it be a cold show? That would be fun!"
Tan Tianming, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help but sneered when he heard this question. He didn't go to his usual seat upstairs today, and sat in the lobby on the ground floor specifically because he wanted to see what the outside world thought of this event. But these people actually want to take advantage of the loopholes, which is really overthinking.
Mr. Na Zhan coughed dryly and said: "Everyone, the rules say that only participants who participated in the previous lottery but did not win will be eligible to participate in the subsequent lottery rounds. They will stamp the recommendation letter as proof. One less round won’t do.”
Someone else asked: "I read in the newspaper that this lottery will draw one prize for every 100 people. In the first round, 100 bottom prizes will be drawn, and it will automatically end after 100 winners are drawn. This rule requires participants to participate in each round. Only one round of lottery can qualify for subsequent rounds. If the number of people participating in the lottery exceeds 10,000, wouldn’t those at the back be eligible to play in the next round? ”
Mr. Zhan explained: "If more than 10,000 people participate in a round and all 100 prizes are drawn, the ones at the bottom will just lose the qualification for the current round of draws. But as long as everyone is present on the day of the draw, they can stamp their participation stamp and win the next prize." Round of lottery qualifications”
Someone else asked: "With such a big battle and so many benefits being given away for free, we are not optimistic about how many immigrants it will attract in the end. What's the point of this kind of business of losing money and making a profit?"< br>
Mr. Zhan said: "In my humble opinion, people spend a lot of money to hold this event, not necessarily just to win a few immigrants. As soon as this move came out, everyone in the capital applauded Xingdao. It is said that these places used for lottery draws were all from the previous time Taking advantage of the newly occupied territory, who would say that Xingdao’s westward expansion is meaningless? I think there are experts behind this to establish a good image for Xingdao for the country and the people!”
