Chapter 160 Establishment of a news agency
Lin Han touched his chin: "What do you think these people mean to Timor-Leste?"
"Like...... It doesn't make much sense. In a way, they were even like slave owners or lords and nobles in ancient times. ”
Lin Han smiled slightly: "Then can people send these guys to the guillotine?"
"Judging by what happened the other day, it looks like it's okay now, at least you can really send them to the guillotine. Amara hesitated, "Still, maybe later." ”
"Why?"
"Timor-Leste has 90 per cent of the population in agriculture and 80 per cent illiteracy, and there is no market for traditional culture, modern civilization or politics, and millions of poor peasants don't care about these things at all," Amara explained. ”
"But now the school attendance rate of children and adolescents has already passed half ...... It is conceivable that, in the near future, the illiteracy rate in Timor-Leste will inevitably decline rapidly, resulting in a large number of young people with rudimentary literacy. ”
"The peasants and the capitalists are easy to buy and appease. But these future East Timorese youths are different. They are more impulsive, more passionate, and more difficult to appease. They don't have enough knowledge to contribute to science or art, but they can make some actions more destructive...... In short, these future East Timorese youth will be the most precarious group in society. ”
Lin Han thought for a while: "So, the biggest variable in East Timor after is this first batch of mass-produced intellectuals?"
Amara nodded, "I think so. ”
"These people are likely to cause a serious rift in East Timorese society if they are exploited by those 'slave owners'......"
Lin Han asked, "Then how can we avoid this?"
"Let them go into the factory, be workers, and find a way to keep them busy and not worry about anything else," Amara said. ”
Lin Han seemed to think of something: "For example, give them higher and higher wages, but at the same time, make housing prices rise faster." ”
Amara was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, and she said with some excitement: "You are really a genius!"
"Oh my...... It's the perfect idea to drain these people's energy, attention, and keep their spending levels high. He patted his forehead, then looked at Lin Han, "How did you come up with this idea?"
Lin Han said casually: "It's just a little life experience." ”
Then the conversation changed: "All in all, according to what you said, the backbone of the future East Timorese society is the young workers of East Timor. All economic and political problems must revolve around them, and they will also be the front line of competition between various forces. ”
Amara nodded: "That's right, and your arrival will greatly speed up the process." ”
Lin Han thought for a while, then pondered and said, "Nicolo Amara, I think you are very good...... How about you running a news agency at my expense? Serve me and, of course, the people of East Timor. ”
Amara was stunned: "News Agency?"
Lin Han nodded slightly: "Yes." First of all, you have to have three newspapers, Workers' Newspaper, Industrial Newspaper, and Business Newspaper, which are aimed at future East Timorese workers, high-level technicians, and businessmen and entrepreneurs. ”
"There are four propaganda directions: to downplay the ethnic conflict in East Timor, to downplay the class conflict in East Timor, to downplay all East Timorese traditions except for Jacques Island, and to strengthen industrial civilization and the spirit of science...... What do you think?"
Amara's face was a little excited: "It's good, at least it's good for the people of East Timor." ”
Lin Han smiled: "You will get 0.1% of the shares of the oil company, as well as 5% of the shares of the soon-to-be-established news agency and a decent salary, and be responsible for all the work of the news agency." ”
The oil fields that have been explored so far are worth as much as $680 million, and the value of the 0.1 percent stake is also $680,000, which is equivalent to the income of the average East Timorese for 500 years, not counting the news agencies......
Amara seemed to be a little incredulous, just because of the other party's fluttering words, she was about to turn over!
At this moment, he was about to become a wicked bourgeoisie, and it felt like ...... It's so cool!
He trembled and swallowed his saliva: "Very willingly, to serve the people." ”
"So, the name of the newsletter should be?"
"It's called 'Jacco Island News Agency.'" ”
……
News agencies, which literally mean "news agency organizations" or "news service organizations" in English, are responsible for collecting, providing, and reporting news from around the world.
Among the world's leading media organizations are international news agencies such as Xinhua, Reuters, the Associated Press, Wolf News, Agence France-Presse, Kyodo and dpa.
These organizations can often find their shadow in important news reports. It can be said that their influence is everywhere.
Some news agencies, which are run by the state, have the responsibility of supervising news content, and are even equivalent to half of the intelligence agencies.
Although Nicolo Amara is a university dropout, his language ability, writing ability, and observation and analysis ability can be called outstanding, far beyond ordinary people.
At the behest of Lin Han, he soon began to set up the Jacco Island News Agency, which aimed to supervise and guide the public opinion situation in Timor-Leste.
Speaking of which, the Jack Island News Agency was the first to settle on Jack Island, and was the first to start building an office building on the island, as well as personnel arrangements.
Jacko Island has been closed for many years, the island is rich in vegetation, the natural environment is excellent, and Lin Han specially requires that the basic ecological environment of the island be maintained, and illegal discharge and any unnecessary felling are prohibited.
So from the very beginning, the Jacco Island News Agency and several subsequent companies named after "Jacques Island" came to the island with the concept of "harmony between man and nature".
The affairs of the news agency were handed over to Amara, and Lin Han contacted Chen Zhixian and asked him to prepare for the establishment of the "Jieke Island Petroleum Industry Company".
The oil company was the most important step in the early stage of the "Jacco Island Plan", which touched almost every aspect of Timorese society, so the binding of its interests was also very complex.
The largest shareholder is naturally Vientiane Technology, accounting for 70% of the shares, followed by Huaxia Petroleum for $66 million, which acquired one-tenth of the shares of the oil field, and finally held one-tenth of the shares.
Then there are the central government of Timor-Leste, the provincial government of Lautem Province, Chen Zhixian, the Socialist Party property, the Democratic Socialist Party property, the Independent Revolutionary Front, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and the East Timorese dignitaries......
Since none of these shareholders actually contributed capital, Lin Han's subscribed capital contribution was much higher than his shares, and after some calculations, it was equivalent to the oil company owing Lin Han $132 million.
Counting Huaxia Petroleum's $66 million, this oil field almost made him $200 million, and the funds are much more abundant.
In the process of forming the oil companies, there are still a handful of media outlets with ulterior motives, either explicitly or covertly, spreading negative news or making mocking gestures to attack the authorities and Lin Han.
Nicolo Amara's response to this was swift. Let the Jack Island News Agency, which has not yet been officially established, immediately publish the first news report:
"Expert: Timor-Leste will have the world's largest GDP growth rate this year"
