Chapter 312： investment promotion

The time for the New Tuvalu celebration is getting closer, and a small number of tourists have arrived in New Tuvalu ahead of schedule.

According to the relevant data from the New Zealand immigration agency, there are still more tourists who have already arrived in New Zealand. They will go to Xintu by ferry or plane directly at the beginning of the celebration after spending a period of time in New Zealand. Valu.

This is undoubtedly a very good choice, because New Zealand itself is a country with a relatively developed tourism industry, and Bluff Port on the South Island of New Zealand is only more than 400 kilometers away from New Tuvalu.

As for the dispute between New Zealand and New Tuvalu?

The Prime Minister of New Zealand, who chose to resign because of this dispute, wanted to say: The government has recognized New Tuvalu's ownership of the Auckland Islands, so what is there to argue about? Aren't you afraid that the stupid king of New Tuvalu will have another cyber-nuclear attack?

Although there is no cooperation on the surface, in fact, the New Zealand government will use the fastest progress to handle matters related to New Tuvalu. For example, if someone applies to go to New Tuvalu, they will not do anything to stop them, whether they are New Zealand nationals or tourists from other places.

The New Zealand airlines have also launched separate flights from New Zealand to New Tuvalu.

After Li Daniu read Burns' related reception work report and raised a few small questions, he stopped worrying about it.

If Burns can't even manage the celebration this time, then Li Daniu really has to consider whether he wants to change the prime minister.

"Now, what we have to do is to attract investment!" Li Daniu began to talk to Burns about the things discussed before.

Burns nodded and said, "Your Majesty, after our discussions, we agreed that the network and communications should be controlled by your royal family's industrial group, as well as airlines and ports."

"Besides these, what else can attract others?" Li Daniu shook his head, and he said: "Because all the land and even the ownership of the sea area in New Tuvalu are mine, and our New Tuvalu's The citizen welfare policy has made the real estate industry completely disappear from New Tuvalu, and because of the development route that New Tuvalu is going to take, it also determines that it is impossible for New Tuvalu to build factories that pollute the environment locally. industry, if I occupy the industries you mentioned again, who will come to New Tuvalu to invest?"

Burns said: "Shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, etc., these industries can all be opened up. I believe the profits of these industries will not be low."

"You must be generous in doing things!" Li Daniu said: "Whether I do these industries or other people do these industries, it will not affect the tax revenue of the new Tuvalu government. Besides, even if I tell you I have done all these industries, how much profit can I provide? Compared with the profits that my current industry can provide, what is it?"

Seeing that Burns hesitated, Li Daniu directly said in an orderly tone: "Report me all the industries that can be invested and constructed in New Tuvalu at present."

Burns had been working on this aspect for the past few days, so he quickly brought over the compiled report.

When Li Daniu read these reports, Burns introduced next to him: "At present, the most urgent industries for our new Tuvalu are network services and communication services, which have been rented from other countries before. , From the perspective of long-term cost, our loss is very large."

It’s not just about the cost. Li Daniu sighed. If companies from other countries provide these two services for New Tuvalu, it’s like putting your lifeblood in the hands of others. Cut off your network, cut off your communication, what can you do?

"These two industries will be done by the royal family. I will arrange them."

Burns continued: "There are other airlines and shipping companies. Now our airports and ports are dependent on the planes and cargo cruise ships of other countries' airlines. This is equivalent to our country's external traffic and transportation. It's in your hands. If you can set up your own aviation and shipping companies, then..."

Airports are generally built with government investment, and the flights in the airport are set up by different airlines. After the airport collects the ticket price, it will deduct related expenses, such as airport construction fees, and then hand it over to the airline. Some airlines sell tickets directly to the outside world, and after they receive the ticket money, they will also hand over the overcharged airport construction fee to the airport.

"It doesn't matter." Li Daniu said: "Just continue to follow the current model. There is no need to establish our own aviation and shipping companies. After all, our country's population is very small now, and the demand for this is not high."

"But…"

"I know what you mean." How could Li Daniu not understand what Burns was worried about? But compared to the two aspects of network and communication, he really doesn't care whether the external traffic is controlled or not. The new Tuvalu is different from the former Tuvalu, and it can completely be self-sufficient in terms of living materials.

"Continue to talk about other industries."

Burns continued helplessly: "In addition to these, it is only suitable for the development of some livelihood industries at present, such as waterworks. The previous waterworks and pipeline laying were all invested and constructed by you. After analysis, we believe that it is completely possible. To carry out bidding work to the outside world, and let all such industries be released."

Li Daniu looked at the report in his hand, and after sketching out many industries, he handed it to Burns and said, "All these industries are open to public bidding, but there is one prerequisite, that is, there must be more than 90% of the jobs in these industries. , by new Tuvalu legal citizens."

It is naturally impossible to open bidding to the outside world only for New Tuvalu. At present, among the citizens of New Tuvalu, there are no people who have a lot of money or experience in related industry development. These industries are bound to be invested and constructed by foreign companies in related industries.

If there is no restriction on the identity of the job holder, then it is impossible for New Tuvalu to rely on jobs in these industries to attract more immigrants.

"clear."

After receiving the report, Burns flipped through it for a while and asked: "Your Majesty, for foreign investment in our country to invest in commercial real estate such as new hotels or shopping malls, it will definitely involve the authorization method and price of the land. This piece Do you see?"

"In the early stage, if you want to attract foreign capital to invest in construction, you must give them enough profits." Li Daniu said: "So I decided that the right to use the land will not charge any fees. As long as someone comes to invest, then, in the After confirming that the investment amount and industrial level can meet the relevant standards, they will be given free use for 30 years. After 30 years, the price of the leased land will be determined according to market conditions.”

It is free first, and then rent is collected. All the land in New Tuvalu still belongs to the royal family of New Tuvalu in terms of property rights, that is, Li Daniu himself.

"Understood." After hesitating for a while, Burns asked, "Your Majesty, can we... can issue our own currency in New Tuvalu?" (To be continued.)
