Chapter 662 Population Explosion!
Entering October, the weather in Xiangjiang is still very hot.
Xiangjiang is located in the south of the south, and the weather is generally coolest from December to March, and the rest of the time is basically like a steamer.
If Xiangjiang is not located on the seaside, the surrounding area is very open, which can emit heat, and the temperature of Xiangjiang can be raised by another 10 degrees with the exhaust gas of the air conditioner that is turned on all day long.
Xiangjiang's air conditioners, and even the entire electrical appliance market, are basically covered by Japanese manufacturers.
Japanese products are cheap and easy to use, and they can save electricity and cost less money. Naturally, they are much better than the stupid old Americans.
Fortunately, the weather is like this, otherwise those people on the opposite side who are becoming more and more urgent and nervous will have to suffer a great crime when they cross the sea to Xiangjiang.
In mid-September, the Xiangjiang government was already discussing formally how to change the policy for mainland residents to come to Hong Kong.
The obvious tendency to change is that in the near future, identity cards will not be issued to people who sneak into Xiangjiang, but will be repatriated if they are caught.
Stimulated by this news, in the past two weeks, an average of more than 5,000 people have swam from Nanwan every day. No matter how hard the water police in Xiangjiang do not release water, they can only catch and repatriate two to three thousand people a day. , At least thousands of people have successfully arrived in Xiangjiang.
Especially on the day of October 1st, there were 7,883 smugglers arrested and besieged by the water police in Xiangjiang alone, setting an all-time record.
In April, the four captains Li Weiguo, Zhen Baojia, Fu Xudong, and Wan Chong, as well as the members of the Qilin Security Team, took turns to organize and arrange in Nanwan. In the past five months, a total of their arrangements As many as 250,000 people are protected in Xiangjiang.
These people are no longer like in previous lives, relying on pig urine bags, discarded tires, or even swimming with bare hands to Xiangjiang.
The Qilin security team specially customized a lot of tire inner tubes in some tire factories in eastern Guangdong, as well as some floating equipment, which were handed over to everyone who wanted to cross the sea.
Then they also figured out the changes in water flow, temperature, marine police patrols, etc. from Nanwan to Xiangjiang, and knew which time is the best to start, and how to arrange round after round of people to start is correct.
At the same time, every day, in several large reservoirs, there are special personnel to teach these young people how to swim to ensure safety, how to preserve their strength, under what circumstances they should ask for help, and so on.
With systematic organization, safer equipment, and better swimming skills, there are so many people who sneaked across the Xiangjiang River in the past few months, and most of them arrived smoothly, in mid-September Before, those who were caught and repatriated were less than one-tenth of the number of smugglers.
Thanks to Yin Jun, the population of Xiangjiang also expanded from 5.2 million to 5.6 million.
This is because many newcomers have not yet applied for family members to come to Xiangjiang, otherwise it is possible to directly break through 5.8 million.
To Yin Jun's surprise, in fact, before the discussion of the new immigration bill began in mid-September, the Xiangjiang government itself was not so strict in arresting smugglers.
As Yin Jun saw that the business of the major immigration agencies was booming day by day, he vaguely noticed the thinking of the Xiangjiang government.
After the UK’s annual white paper was released in April, many Xiangjiang people who worried that they would no longer belong to the Commonwealth of Nations, especially the middle class, have accelerated their immigration to the UK, Canada, the United States, Australia and other countries. .
Among other things, the data for July showed that more than 5,000 families immigrated out in a single month; the data for August further increased, with more than 7,000 families emigrating out of Xiangjiang.
According to this data, based on the calculation of three people in each family, Xiangjiang will lose more than 200,000 people every year.
The population of Xiangjiang is only about 5 million, and the number of people belonging to the middle class is no more than 1 million.
If they are allowed to immigrate like this, the middle class of Xiangjiang will disappear, and the population of Xiangjiang will also decrease sharply, thus losing its vitality.
Preventing middle-class immigration is one aspect of work; but on the other hand, the Xiangjiang government has to consider appropriately increasing the population, especially the young and strong labor force, so that the economic development of Xiangjiang can be made available.
At this time, they noticed the increasingly fervent smuggling.
It is precisely because the smugglers are all strong and powerful young people, so although their arrival will increase some of the population pressure in Xiangjiang, they are a labor force that can be used immediately, which is another benefit.
Therefore, in the past few months, they have turned a blind eye.
It wasn't until now that they discovered that the number of people smuggled into Xiangjiang every month exceeded 50,000 to 60,000, and the Xiangjiang government hastily activated the plan that had been prepared long ago.
Unexpectedly, this actually irritated the smugglers waiting anxiously on the other side.
For several days, many people found some buoyancy equipment by themselves before they could get enough buoyancy equipment from the Qilin security team, and swam to Xiangjiang with the large force.
Tragedy also happened naturally. More than 300 people drowned in those few days. The number is shocking.
Fu Xudong, who was in charge at the time, hurriedly purchased more than 30,000 tire inner tubes from farther places at a high price, which was barely enough for them.
You know, these tires are basically wasted.
People who swim past cannot swim back and return the tires to you, so they are all disposable consumables.
Rao is that the prices in the mainland are cheap now, because the purchase quantity is huge, and those tire factories have given very favorable prices, but the monthly expenditure of flotation equipment is as high as 700,000 yuan, which still makes the security team deeply moved.
In addition, there is the relationship established by the large-scale training institute, as well as the expenses of a group of them, and occasionally to help the people who have run out of food money, etc. Yin Jun has to invest 2 million Hong Kong dollars here a month.
More than half of the security team's personnel are people who have swam to Xiangjiang in the past year or so.
They know how difficult life in the mainland is, and looking at this group of people is equivalent to seeing themselves before.
Therefore, they are very grateful to Eun Joon who reached out to help.
In their hearts, Yin Jun has already changed from a simple employment relationship to a more intimate relationship between master and servant.
Such an idea is not really unreliable.
They work in Yin Jun's factory, their wives also work in Yin Jun's company, and their children study in a school funded by Yin Jun. They are well taken care of including food, clothing and housing, including medical care.
Isn't such a relationship the same as the treatment of having children in ancient times?
They give all they have to the master, who is in charge of everything for them.
Yin Jun knew what they were thinking, and he was really dumbfounded.
What era is this, and there are still the thoughts of masters and servants, do these people say they are simple, or are they brainless?
However, the people of Huaguo seem to have been so simple since ancient times.
Even in 2020, the idea of working hard for a bite of food will have a big market, and those who take money to steal and play tricks are still a minority among the minority.
Teenagers don't correct them either. As their knowledge and experience increase in the future, such thoughts will naturally change.
However, since Yin Jun treated them so well, they naturally shouldn't be ungrateful. If they can properly complete the tasks assigned to them by Yin Jun in the future, Yin Jun will feel that his investment is worthwhile.
An increase in population is not necessarily a good thing.
The burden of population increase is not only testing the Xiangjiang government, but also testing the resettlement capacity of Tianshuiwei.
Now in the New Territories, especially in the wide area from Yuen Long to Tin Shui Wai, there are already dozens of very dense villages, all of which are composed of people who smuggled into Xiangjiang in recent months.
The area of Xiangjiang is actually not small. The area of the New Territories is almost the entire area of Yau Tsim Mong.
Moreover, the New Territories has always been sparsely populated and sparsely populated. Therefore, the population has increased by more than 300,000, and it cannot be said to be crowded.
However, the daily necessities such as food, clothing and housing that these people need are very insufficient.
The Xiangjiang government had no obligation to control them, but the government, fearing that these new immigrants would make trouble, had to raise a lot of food, allow them to build simple houses, and urgently increase the number of infrastructure construction Posts, etc., in order to resolve possible conflicts.
In fact, Yin Jun had even more headaches than them.
He brought people here, but if the basic conditions of life cannot be met, it will be useless even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, and there will be big troubles.
Therefore, Yin Jun not only actively offered jobs in his own company and factory, but also let them do some small business, and then the workers of Kirin Group came to buy...
Although these measures eased the tension to a certain extent, the population was too large, and Yin Jun couldn't even solve one-tenth of their employment problems.
In fact, the best way is to send them all to Australia directly, spend one or two years to complete the infrastructure there, and then spend another two or three years to dig out the mines, and build roads and railways at the same time Wait, if you calculate it like this, let alone 50,000 to 60,000 people, even if it is 150,000 to 60,000 people, it is not a problem at all.
But such an idea is impossible to realize.
Australians are not fools, can you allow you to immigrate 50,000 to 60,000 to hundreds of thousands of workers in one or two years?
The population of 10,000-20,000 a year that Yin Jun set before is already very large, that is, the population of Western Australia is too small, and these people are all skilled people, so there is a possibility of success.
As they are now, how can people who come from the mainland and know almost nothing pass the inspection in Australia?
Therefore, Yin Jun can only hold his breath, teach them slowly, and instill more practical knowledge into them, so that they can adapt to the new life as soon as possible and meet new challenges.
Now he suddenly understands why the Xiangjiang government has accelerated the promotion of the new immigration bill.
It's really too much!
There are more than 300,000 people, plus their relatives, at least 600,000 to 700,000 people, even if you want to fill the vacancy left by the middle class and increase the labor force, how can the Xiangjiang government have so many people? Money, so much work to arrange them?
If the law is not urgently changed to stop those who come to Xiangjiang continuously, I am afraid that within a year or two, the Xiangjiang government will go bankrupt, and Xiangjiang will become a place of chaos!
From another aspect, Yin Jun's strategy can be regarded as a success.
With a population base of 600,000 to 700,000 people, Yin Jun will soon be able to provide a large amount of labor.
Whether it is doing production in Xiangjiang or going to Australia to mine iron ore, Yin Jun has enough people of his own.
As Taizu said, as long as there are people, what miracles in the world cannot be created? !
