Chapter 139： Immigration Issues and New Tuvalu Construction Issues

Modern immigration is different from ancient times.

Ancient immigrants were similar to those who sent people to open up wasteland and settle when the American continent was discovered. Modern immigrants are all in pursuit of better living conditions, or to meet some special needs.

Small countries like Tuvalu did not have the conditions for people to immigrate before, and people from their own country wanted to immigrate to other countries to live.

If this world is the same as the previous life, then, in a few years, all Tuvaluans will immigrate to New Zealand, and the country will exist in name only.

But after Li Daniu crossed over, everything was different.

Not to mention the purchase of the Auckland Islands and the construction of a new Tuvalu, but the benefits that Li Daniu gave to the citizens of his own country are very attractive.

Tuvalu lacks water resources and vegetables, and because there is no industry in the country, many daily necessities need to be imported, even a towel. Although Tuvalu does not charge high tariffs, the freight alone has doubled the price of these items several times.

How can a country with a per capita annual GDP of just over US$1,000 have a comfortable standard of living in such an environment?

After Li Daniu succeeded to the throne, in order to prevent the limited population loss of his country, he issued an order not to allow immigration. Although Tuvalu is a monarchy country, as the king, Li Daniu's words are the law, but he can't let the people of his own country die of starvation and thirst on an island.

Therefore, after Li Daniu promulgated this decree, he used the money he earned from the priceless necklace he got back from the movie world he traveled to for the first time to subsidize the prices of these imported goods, so that the prices of these imported goods returned to normal. Level.

Don't underestimate this point. This is equivalent to reducing the domestic price level by one-third of the original level, and the people are naturally rejoicing.

But if there is only this point, the living standard of Tuvalu is still at the bottom of the world, because although your prices are normal, but they can’t support them and they can’t make money.

Without industry, under the development of agriculture, and because the fishery cannot be sold domestically, it can only be sold to foreigners, so the income level cannot be raised at all.

Therefore, Li Daniu very capriciously proposed a living allowance of 3,000 US dollars per person per month.

You don't have to do anything, and you can get an income of 3,000 US dollars a month. Not to mention the small country of Tuvalu, even France, which claims to have the best welfare benefits, is an incredible thing.

Although France's annual welfare expenditure accounts for more than 30% of the annual GDP, these benefits are not free. If you want to get these benefits, there are prerequisites.

For example, a small amount of subsidy for each acre of land, how much subsidy for each additional child born, and so on.

It can be said that as soon as Li Daniu's decree came out, Tuvalu instantly became a country with the best welfare benefits in the world.

With $3,000 a month, no matter which country you live in, you can get a very good standard of living.

Therefore, when Tuvalu's first month's living allowance was fully distributed to every citizen, the media all over the world rushed to report.

This also led to non-stop flights at Tuvalu's airport during that period of time.

People all over the world see that there is such a country in this world, and many people are not calm. For many poor people in their own country, immigrating to Tuvalu has become the best choice.

However, Li Daniu rejected all immigration requests at that time, not only because Tuvalu did not have the capacity to receive them, but also because Li Daniu did not have so much money.

If immigration is open, for every 10,000 people who come, Li Daniu will spend 30 million U.S. dollars every month. If there are 100,000 people, it will be 300 million U.S. dollars a month.

And 100,000 people are really not worth mentioning compared to the world's population of more than 7 billion. Even if Li Daniu is a money printing machine, he can't hold up to many people.

If there is no way to immigrate, naturally no one will go to Tuvalu, and Tuvalu will return to what it was before.

However, after the post just now, Li Daniu has decided to open up the immigration qualifications, but how to open up is a big problem.

The business here in the United States is on the right track. The novel "Harry Potter" has begun to show its fangs. After it is released globally, it can bring Li Daniu millions of dollars in royalties every day. Of course, this situation cannot last forever, and Li Daniu still needs to pay taxes. But "Harry Potter" is not one, but seven.

And the second season of "The Voice of America" ​​does not require much effort from Li Daniu. With the experience of the first season as a basis, professionals like Quinn absolutely need the ability to produce this program. More than half a scoop of water like Li Daniu. Similarly, for the players signed by TC Entertainment, there are also professionals who package and promote them according to each person's different styles. All Li Daniu needs to do is to come up with two songs as the title song after a period of time. He is not the only one who can write songs in this world.

Whether it is novels or TC Entertainment, they are now equivalent to cash cows, which can provide Li Daniu with a lot of income every month.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the first step has been taken, and with the cornerstone, we can usher in the rapid development.

Sitting in his own private plane, Li Daniu returned to Tuvalu. Speaking of which, he is indeed a bit incompetent as a king. How can he be a king who stays abroad every day?

On the surface, there is not much difference between Tuvalu and before, but the spiritual outlook of every Tuvalu is completely different.

Because he was afraid of being surrounded by Tuvaluans to greet him again, Li Daniu specifically told Burns this time that he must not say anything.

After getting off the plane, I saw Burns standing beside the airport runway with a car parked behind him.

"It's only about one kilometer from the airport to the palace. Is it necessary to get a car?"

Hearing Li Daniu's question, Burns felt very innocent.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say you wanted to keep it secret? I'm afraid you might be seen on the way from the airport to the palace."

Damn, what is this called? I am the King of Tuvalu, how can I be afraid of being seen by my own people?

It's just that when he thought about the enthusiasm of the Tuvalu people when they saw Li Daniu, he couldn't blame Burns, because he was really afraid.

Back in the palace, Li Daniu got the information on the immigration conditions of all countries collected by Burns, which was arranged when he set off from the United States.

"Have you come up with any plans?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Our government's manpower is really not enough. Just to cooperate with the construction of New Tuvalu, we are almost powerless. That German guy has complained several times that his men are not enough. "

Li Daniu frowned, and asked: "Didn't I say that? Let that German guy recruit people casually in the name of the New Tuvalu Construction Company."

Although Li Daniu kept calling the German guy, the importance of the other party is self-evident, because no matter how high the quality of the foreign construction team of Huaxia was, he still has to do a good job as a supervisor.

Burns replied with some embarrassment: "It's not that we don't let him recruit, but that the people he wants to recruit are not willing to come to work, even if the salary is 50% higher than the market price."

"Why?" After Li Daniu subconsciously asked this question, UU read www.uukanshu. com regretted it, because he had already thought of the answer.

Sure enough, Burns replied: "Because the living conditions in New Tuvalu are too poor, and there is no network, and the electricity is not stable. And because of the inconvenient transportation, it is impossible to ensure sufficient building materials. It can be said that it is difficult." Heavy..."

The Auckland Islands used to have only a simple airport, so simple that even Li Daniu's private plane could not take off and land smoothly, and could only use helicopters or small jets.

And the wharf is very simple. Although there is a bay, large cargo ships cannot dock at all, and small cargo ships have very limited carrying capacity.

As for electricity, it is very unstable. There is no power generation equipment in the New Auckland Islands, only low-power diesel generators.

Although Burns has started to install solar and wind power generation equipment, such equipment cannot be completed in a day or two.

Therefore, the construction work of the New Auckland Islands has been difficult. (To be continued.)
