v2 Chapter 398： : The receiving territory has another plan

After the warships and security companies arrived in Penang and Malacca, Hadi notified the local management staff to take over the two places.

Originally, Penang and Malacca were under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor of Singapore, and there were no more than a dozen British managers. The rest were local officials and staff.

In the past two days, a wave of people came here and took over their jobs. The British managers were evacuated. As for the local staff, they stayed at work temporarily.

These people were all sent by Hardy.

At the same time, the security company has also taken over the management of local security.

There were no waves in the entire handover process. The warships parked in the harbor, as well as those American soldiers wearing black military uniforms, carrying submachine guns, and driving non-stop patrolling on the streets, formed a sufficient deterrent to the locals.

Originally, Hardy had a military base in Penang, but he did not go ashore at that time and only operated in the base, responsible for combating piracy and route security, and charging shipping companies tolls.

Now these soldiers have become urban security maintenance personnel, but they are no strangers to this situation, because HD Security has always maintained urban security in the United States, and they are quite familiar with the road.

People on the street,

At first, I looked at these American soldiers with slight fear and alert in my eyes, and I didn't know what would happen next.

But gradually discovered that these people will not affect the lives of the people, and gradually people have let go of their guards.

The security company has strict rules not to harass the people, which is much stricter than the rules of American soldiers.

certainly,

Their wages are also high.

The average salary of an ordinary security team member is about US$300 to US$400. If there is a bonus, free board and lodging, food and lodging conditions are not bad, the injured unit is fully responsible for the treatment, and the disability has insurance compensation, and the pension is paid every month. Insurance.

Such wages and benefits, even for Americans today, are already considered high salaries.

Today's American soldiers, such as those who participated in the Korean War, receive a monthly allowance of more than US$50 for grassroots soldiers.

These people really want to go to the battlefield desperately.

In HD security, there are actually very few dangerous situations, and it is much safer than on the battlefield. If someone really troubles them, it is to smash their jobs and they will definitely fight their lives to keep their high salary.

Earn a bonus by the way.

In the past half a month, a large cruise ship sailed from Hong Kong to Singapore. After arriving in Singapore, one destroyer, one frigate and two frigates at the Singapore base escorted four warships together.

Arrived in Penang together.

Penang in June.

Flowers are blooming everywhere.

The tall round palm tree is ten stories high and extremely strong.

On the port wharf, tens of thousands of people gathered here, holding flowers in their hands, and they were waiting to greet their new governor.

"Woohoo!"

With a loud whistle.

A fleet of ships approached in the distance.

The other four warships moored in the harbor also sounded their whistle in response.

Eight battleships.

Even Britain does not have such a strong military force in Malaya today.

The yacht berthed slowly in the port.

The soldiers in the harbor lined up on both sides, and the officials who came in advance stood at the dock waiting for Hardy to disembark.

Hang the ladder down.

Hardy and Han Yezhen got off the boat together, cheers rang out from the dock, and the camera captured this precious scene.

This time Hardy came over,

I specially brought Han Yezhen,

He just wants people to see that his woman is Chinese, so that the local Chinese can be more at ease.

His strategy has indeed had a great effect. Many Chinese gentry, businessmen, officials and ordinary Chinese people who came to greet him felt much cordial when he saw that Hardy's wife was Chinese.

At the pier.

Hardy took the stage to give a speech.

Last time he met with Pan Xingchen and Tong Jiayuan, what he said was a private exchange. This time it was a public statement. Hardy's statement is very important to Penang and Malacca.

"In the future, Penang and Malacca will adhere to the principle of equality for all, and everyone can obtain the rights of territorial citizenship."

"The dominion implements the British legal system, protects private property, preserves ethnic customs, and guarantees freedom of belief."

"The official language is English, but it is not prohibited to learn Chinese, Malay, Hindi and other languages. The schools opened can have bilingual or even multilingual teaching."

"In the future, Penang and Malacca will vigorously develop the economy. The financial industry, manufacturing, electronics, processing, pharmaceuticals, jewelry, shipping, foreign trade, etc. will all be the focus of development."

"Penang and Malacca, there will be a lot of jobs, and immigrants are welcome."

“In both Penang and Malacca, Wells Fargo Bank and HSBC Bank branches will be established, and Hadi Group branches will be opened. The Dominion welcomes investors to come, and people are welcome to settle in the Dominion. The world’s largest security company, HD Security and Defense, can guarantee settlement. The personal safety and property safety of those involved.”

"In the future, Penang and Malacca will become areas of security, economic prosperity, abundant employment opportunities, and freedom and democracy."

Many people are very happy when they hear Hardy's words, because no one likes the chaotic environment of war, precariousness, property may be robbed at any time, even if you have great talents, you can't use it.

Only a stable public security and political environment can make the economy prosper.

There are also many Chinese people who think that it is possible for Chinese brothers who invest in other places to immigrate to Penang or Malacca?

In fact, it’s just fine to live here and go out to do business. If you save something, you can’t even run.

The speech is over.

Hardy and Han Yezhen rode in a convertible and received cheers from the people on the **** down street of the **** convoy.

Many people stood on both sides of the street.

Throw the petals to the convoy.

The whole ceremony was very complete, and finally stayed at one of the best hotels in Penang.

Hardy’s governor’s mansion has not been built yet, so he can only live here temporarily. Although he will not be permanently here in the future, he still needs a governor’s mansion.

The reception ceremony is over.

Hardy's speech was immediately published in Southeast Asian newspapers, but in one day, the whole Malaya knew that Baron Hardy had taken over Penang and Malacca.

And know the content of his speech.

In Malaya now, since the implementation of the Malay privilege policy, many Chinese have been bullied, their businesses have been affected, government officials have suppressed them, and their lives have become increasingly difficult.

Now that the situation in Penang and Malacca has changed, I feel that this place will become more stable in the future, and many people have the idea of ​​emigrating.

the next day,

Hardy met with gentry and business representatives from Penang and Malacca, including Pan Xingchen and Tong Jiayuan, as well as Malays and Indians.

At the conference,

Once again reiterated the dominion’s policy and decided to form a parliament in the near future.

On the third day,

Hardy issued the first Governor-General's Order of the Dominions of Penang and Malacca, appointing Peter Smith as the chief minister of the Dominions, equivalent to the prime minister.

The appointment of James Ryan as the Governor's Treasury Secretary, equivalent to the Secretary of the Treasury.

Joe McCarthy was appointed as the attorney general.

Thomas Jefferson was appointed Chief of Police.

Anthony Eden was appointed Minister of Tourism, Transportation and Engineering.

Appoint Richard Coles as Minister of Agriculture, Communications, Engineering and Natural Resources.

Appointed Pan Xingchen as Minister of Culture, Immigration and Sports.

Appointed Truman Bowden as Minister of Education, Aviation and Planning.

Tong Jiayuan was appointed Minister of Health, Social Welfare, Drug Control and Rehabilitation.

Two Chinese have entered the government ministerial level, which has made the hearts of the Chinese people more stable. After this news was reported in the newspapers, it has strengthened the idea of ​​many Chinese wanting to immigrate to Penang and Malacca.

The Chinese are very smart and hardworking. They have a high average education level and are generally relatively wealthy. Many Chinese have been operating in Malaya for dozens or even hundreds of years. In fact, they have already started a family and own a large industry. Now Malaya has a lot of rubber Gardens, spice gardens and farms, in addition to the British industry, belong to the Chinese industry.

After the British implemented the privilege policy, many Chinese felt that the Malay eyes were getting more and more wrong, and the Malayan officials began to deliberately ask for trouble.

Some Chinese-run enterprises have been rectified for no reason, and even forced to raise taxes and pay various assessments. They just want to keep you from operating and leave by themselves. They may occupy the Chinese industry.

Forcibly grabbing,

It is not uncommon at any time.

Besides, there are disputes between ethnic groups and beliefs.

In the past, these entrepreneurs and farmers have also cultivated many overseas talents in their families, and they are not the kind of ignorant local wealthy owners.

Many people have contacted Pan Xingchen and Tong Jiayuan before. Many people wrote letters and even came to learn about the dominion in person.

The Huang family has lived in Johor for more than 100 years. The owner, Huang Henian, is in his 50s. He has studied in the UK for three years. Now the family mainly manages plantations and processing plants, growing rice, pepper, cocoa, tobacco, spices and so on.

There are also huge rubber forests with a planting area of ​​more than 10,000 hectares.

At the same time, it also opened processing plants, flour processing, rice processing, tobacco rough processing, and spice processing plants.

these years,

Malaya has been turbulent,

The Dutch, the British, the Japanese, and then the British. Even so, their Huang family developed the family step by step by working hard.

But in recent years,

After the British announced their recognition of the Malay privileges, those Malays began to look for things to exploit, even if he had some strength, he couldn't bear it.

And Huang Henian feels,

For a long time like this,

Those people are afraid that their appetites will grow stronger, their desires will be hard to fill, and if they do not satisfy their current interests, they will be brutally attacked and directly grab the property.

Hardy became the governor of Penang and Malacca. This matter has attracted great attention in Malaya, and the Yellow Crane Year is naturally one of them.

Recently,

Newspapers often publish speeches about Hardy, such as the dominion’s policies, future development plans, and so on.

Recently, the investment promotion plan was announced.

The taxes in Penang and Malacca are set very low, and there are a series of incentive policies to attract other people to invest in the dominion.

And also plans to build Wells Fargo Bank and HSBC here, so that in the future, the flow of funds will become very convenient, especially for doing business with the United States and Europe.

There is this point of safety.

Recently, he always feels that the Malayan territory is becoming more and more insecure. In order to protect the family, he intends to move the family out. As for the plantations and factories, it is good to continue to send people to operate them, mainly the wives, children, the elderly and the family. past.

The Hardy Group is preparing to set up branches in Penang and the Dominion of Malaya, which involve a number of industries, and one of them caused the idea of ​​the Yellow Crane Year.

Hardy Investment Company is willing to cooperate with all companies in Southeast Asia. First, provide financial support, second provide technical support, third provide channel support, and fourth provide security guarantee.

Huang Henian knew about this Governor Hardy.

In the U.S,

Possess extremely large energy.

If you can rely on him, it will be a very big guarantee for your own industry, but you don't know what conditions the other party will offer.

However, compared to the Malays' looting, Huang Henian believes in Western economic cooperation. Even if he gives some benefits, it is also a common development, rather than others holding a knife and robbing your neck.

He decided to go to Malacca to take a look.

If there is indeed stability there, he plans to set up properties in Malacca and send the elderly, children and women to settle down.

Talk to the other party about cooperation.
