Timor-Leste, a small country in northwestern Australia, is one of the poorest countries in the world, with a per capita GDP of less than 20% of that of China and just over $1,000.

Timor-Leste's GDP is less than one-twentieth of Madan's personal assets.

Its land area is similar to that of the capital of China, its population is about the same as that of half of Yunzhou City, and its economic scale is about the same as that of Qinglin County......

All in all, Timor-Leste, while its name, is quite poor.

Poverty aside, the country is still very young, only in its teens, and in a few months it will be able to enter the 21st century.

Before 1975, East Timor was ruled by Portugal, and in 1975 a civil war broke out, and it was annexed by Indonesia and divided into thirteen districts, which later became the current thirteen provinces.

In 1998, the Suharto family in Indonesia, in order to continue their rule, provoked a series of conflicts, which eventually led to the extremely tragic massacre of China, resulting in the death of many Chinese in Indonesia.

The following year, East Timor's political situation changed dramatically and it gained independence from Indonesia.

In response, Huaxia said that it did nothing, but then became the first country to establish diplomatic relations with Timor-Leste......

To this day, the two countries have friendly diplomatic relations, and China has also provided assistance to East Timor from time to time.

After all, from a geographical point of view, Timor Island is strategically located in Southeast Asia, between Indonesia and Australia, and it is also a member of the United Nations with voting rights.

In addition, although Timor-Leste is very backward economically, its natural resources are quite good, with relatively rich manganese ore, gold ore, and oil and gas resources.

Before 1975, the Chinese in East Timor had already controlled the economic lifeline of the country, but after the arrival of Indonesia, the Chinese were generally suppressed, a large amount of property was confiscated, and the accumulation of generations was destroyed.

It was not until East Timor's independence in 1999 that the local Chinese gradually regained their vitality and regained the commanding heights in the economic field.

From this point of view, the plight of the Chinese in East Timor is quite similar to that of the Jews in Europe and the United States.

......

On the endless sea, a medium-sized cargo ship is moving slowly, and the rippling waves are blowing on the side of the hull.

Seabirds flew in the sky, and the two crew members chatted and laughed at the bow of the boat.

In a not spacious room on the ship, Chen Zhixian, the owner of the cargo ship, was leaning on a chair, holding a copy of "Mao Xuan" in his hand, looking intently......

Chen Zhixian, a Chinese born in East Timor, just returned from studying at Huagong University in Dongguang Province a few years ago, and as the eldest son in his family, he has now taken on the management of the family's business.

Like many East Timorese Chinese, Chen Zhixian's ancestors were also broad, but they were later suppressed by the Indonesian authorities, and returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.

In Chen Zhixian's generation, after completing his studies at a first-class university in China, his vision and knowledge are naturally higher than those of his parents.

So he tried his best to sell some of his stores, and then spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a small cargo ship to import cheap agricultural products, clothing, simple electronics, etc. from China and sell them to Timor-Leste.

Under Chen Zhixian's management, in just one or two years, the Chen family's assets have expanded rapidly, and they have become the number one wealthy family in Lautem Province (that is, Lauteng County).

And he himself, naturally, is the richest man in Lautem province.

Not long ago, he bought a larger cargo ship from Huaxia, and the original small boat has been transferred to another Chinese businessman in East Timor.

This voyage is the first voyage of this cargo ship, and what it carries on board is not so much the cargo as the brighter future of the Chen Zhixian family.

After a while, Chen Zhixian closed "Mao Xuan", stretched his waist, got up and walked out of the room, and came to the bow of the boat.

"Boss. ”

The two East Timorese indigenous crew members at the bow of the ship hurriedly stood up and greeted in somewhat broken Chinese.

Although the East Timorese Chinese are rich and influential, they only account for 2% of the country's population, and even more are the indigenous people of East Timor.

Chen Zhixian put his hands behind his back, looked at the sea in the distance, and asked for a while, "How long will it take to reach the Timor Sea?"

One of the crew members said: "Just passed through Sevaru and will soon enter the Timor Sea. ”

Chen Zhixian nodded, and then suddenly said, "Ruak, I remember that you are about to get married." ”

The crew member named Ruak showed a sincere smile, with a little flattery, and scratched his head: "Boss, how do you know...... It's almost time, and I'll get married when I go back this time. ”

Chen Zhixian smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Your salary has doubled this month, which is a little bit of my heart." ”

Ruak was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed: "Thank you, boss!"

The crew on the side looked envious, and couldn't help but think about when they would get married.

At this moment, he swept his gaze, but he saw a somewhat strange ship rapidly approaching this way on the eastern sea.

"Eh, boss, what do you think that's that?" he gestured.

When Chen Zhixian heard this, he turned his head to look at it disapprehantly.

However, as soon as he turned his head, his face sank, and then gradually turned pale......

......

In the northwest of the Timor Sea, Lin Han and the driver of the speedboat were speeding on the sea, leaving a bright white wave behind them.

"Lin, why are we wandering around here all the time, IMHO, you seem to ...... Well, nothing was done. ”

After a while, the driver of the speedboat couldn't help but say something, and glanced at the few packets of snacks beside Lin Han......

It has been five days since BHP organized people to assist Lin Han in cleaning up the leaked crude oil in the Timor Sea.

In the first three days, several speedboats went deep into the contaminated area, releasing a large number of oleophiles into the corresponding area, and then all but the one carrying Lin Han returned.

In the name of follow-up investigation, Lin Han continued to ride the speedboat and traveled through the polluted area for two days.

The reason for this is naturally because the area of the polluted area is too large, and his biological authority is far from enough to cover it, so he has to make a few more trips.

After a few days, the area of crude oil pollution on the sea surface has shrunk by more than half, so fast and efficient, so that many people in BHP company are incredulous and amazed.

According to Lin Han's estimate, he can completely call it a day after running for a while, and then sit back and wait for the oleophiles to decompose all the crude oil in the Timor Sea.

He smiled and said, "Donald, it's called science." ”

"It's terrible, it's science again...... Should I go to China for an eight-year compulsory education?"

"It's nine years of compulsory education, and eight years is the War of Resistance. ”

"Eight and nine are pretty much the same. ”

Donald shrugged his shoulders and continued to steer the speedboat, speeding across the sea.

Lin Han was wearing sunglasses and headphones, leaning on his seat, holding a pack of snacks in his hand, quite leisurely.

Originally, he was a person who loved to learn, but because the use of biological permissions also required some attention, the efficiency of reading books was too low.

So in desperation, he had to take the boat while eating snacks and listening to music......

"Lin, look! What's that?"

Donald exclaimed.

Lin Han hurriedly took off his sunglasses, looked in the direction he pointed, and his face suddenly changed.

"Lifeboats?"
