Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

  Chapter 673 Industrial Park Vision

   It is not surprising that Huo Jianxuan has such an idea. Darwin Port has experienced wars and hurricanes before. From the perspective of immigration, it is indeed not a suitable choice.

  Darwin's only advantage is that the infrastructure is relatively complete, and the army is stationed here, so the security side need not worry.

   But, with the urination of American soldiers, it is really unflattering. They are well-known in Japan and South Korea in later generations.

   Reasoning with Uncle Sam is obviously not a wise choice. If you can't afford it, you can only hide.

  Yang Chen thought for a moment, and then approved Huo Jianhuo's suggestion. After the impact of the hurricane earlier in Darwin, the population now is only tens of thousands.

   In the inland of later generations, it is not even comparable to a third- and fourth-tier city, and at most it is on the same level as a township.

   A city of this size can be built anywhere he wants.

Yang Chen tapped the table lightly, and asked, "Do you think it would be better for us to place our base camp in that city in the Northern Territory? A port is a must. Without a port, Darwin's road transportation is inconvenient. It's very troublesome when it comes to living materials."

Huo Jianhuo: "Boss, most of the Northern Territory is uninhabited land. In some places, there are a lot of aboriginal people. They are more difficult to get in touch with than the white people who immigrated from Europe. We have different cultural customs. No problem, but friction will inevitably occur over time.

Therefore, I am wondering if we can follow the model of an industrial park to build a new town with factories as the mainstay on a brand-new wasteland, which is not only conducive to construction, but also facilitates immigration and alleviates all kinds of troubles caused by immigration. …”

   "Old Huo, your proposal is good, very good, very good, just do as you say."

  Industrial parks are not exclusive to later generations in China. A long time ago, when the Industrial Revolution began, large and small industrial parks appeared in Europe.

   It is not only conducive to population concentration, but also to production and construction.

"Uh..." Huo Jianhuo heard Yang Chen's 'Old Huo', and subconsciously reached out and touched his face, secretly said: 'I've just turned 30, and I'm in my prime, so I shouldn't have anything to do with Laohu? ! ’

   However, when he saw Yang Chen's face, he was relieved when he thought that he was almost a round older than him.

  'As old as you are, the boss has spoken. He is a subordinate employee, what else can he say. ’

  ‘He has a bowl of rice that is quite satisfying. ’

Yang Chen didn't have the heart to pay attention to Huo Jianhuo's idea. At this time, he was still immersed in the industrial park proposed by Huo Jianhuo. There are many industrial parks in the inland in later generations, especially large-scale manual intensive factories. The number of people in an industrial park is small. It's not surprising that there are tens of millions of people.

   In Australia, a country with a population of only 10 to 20 million people, with hundreds of thousands of people gathered together, it is already a large city.

   If he can gather all the immigrants in one or several places and gather them in one industrial park, then he can build several modern industrial cities dominated by Chinese in the Northern Territory.

   It is not difficult to find that there are Chinatowns all over the world. As long as the Chinese go abroad, everyone will naturally stick together.

   At that time, the food, drink, and housing of this group of people will be controlled by him. Hundreds of thousands of people may not see anything, but as long as the number reaches tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, the power that erupts is absolutely amazing.

   Moreover, in order to better manage these immigrants in the newly established industrial park, the local government of the Northern Territory will inevitably allow some Chinese to work in the government.

   As long as the initial development is good and a firm foothold in the Northern Territory is established, the next thing will be easy to solve.

   From the current point of view, the industrial park model is the most suitable direction for his development in Australia.

  The Northern Territory is rich in mineral resources, which can provide cheap raw materials for the alchemy industry. Next, the economic construction of developing countries in Asia will support the rapid development of the Northern Territory for decades at least.

   For decades, the first group of immigrants took root in the Northern Territory, and when the second and third generations appeared, the Northern Territory could be completely digested.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen couldn't help but wickedly laugh. Someone has everything. Once the population increases, the Northern Territory can be upgraded to an autonomous state. Once the Northern Territory has the same autonomy as other states, then Australia will Can really become his ideal second base.

   "Old Huo, where is the port? Did you find a suitable one?"

   On this earth, where most of it belongs to the ocean, ports are an existence that cannot be ignored. Compared with railways, ports are much simpler. As long as you find a natural port, you can save a lot of effort.

Huo Jianhuo said: "Boss, the issue of the port, I am afraid we will have to wait until the next negotiation, we will put it to the Australian government, whether it is to expand the old port or relocate to build a new port, we need to discuss with the Australian government. Just do it."

Hearing what Huo Jianhuo said, Yang Chen knew that he was taking it for granted, so he nodded and said, "Okay, we will bring this up together at that time, anyway, we are not completely abandoning Darwin Port, as long as the size of the port is enough for our next development needs Just fine."

   "If the Australian government agrees, remember to reserve enough space for future expansion in the construction of the port, and use the current Singapore port as the standard. Don't use it for a while, and feel that it is not enough, and find a new place to build it."

   He clearly knows that the future economic development of the inland will have a very large demand for imports. The Northern Territory alone will never be able to supply it even if it is wound up.

   If the port is built based on the current export of Australia, there will be no problem in a short time, but after ten years, the rapid development of the inland will definitely not be enough.

   Even if we don’t expand the size of the port now, it will definitely expand in the future. If you reserve a little more space, you will have a lot of things left for the future.

   "Singapore Port?" Huo Jianxuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, obviously stunned by Yang Chen's words.

  Yang Chen said noncommittally: "Yes, it is Singapore Port, is there any problem?"

Huo Jianxuan glanced at his boss hesitantly, and said hesitantly, "Old, boss, based on the Singapore port, will it be too big? If the current annual import and export throughput of the Northern Territory is used, it will increase by a hundred times. , I'm afraid it can't compare with the Port of Singapore."

   Yang Chen waved his hand and said, "I know, I just asked you to reserve space, and I didn't want you to directly build a Singapore port."

   "That's fine." Hearing this, Huo Jianxuan couldn't help but sighed in relief, and nodded quickly.

   Seeing Huo Jianxuan like this, Yang Chen smiled and didn't say anything more.
