"Sustainable development?" Chen Zhixian was stunned.

Lin Han nodded: "This is just the guiding ideology...... Specifically, I will first invest in oil and gas resources in Timor-Leste, and at least find a small oil field to give Timor-Leste a chance to breathe. ”

"Part of the profits generated from the oil fields will be used to improve Timor-Leste's natural environment. The main ones are to clean up rivers, expand greenery, and improve soil quality. ”

"Of course, the oil companies themselves will also adopt the highest environmental standards and be meticulous. ”

After all, Timor-Leste is dependent on natural resources, and although Timor-Leste has not yet developed for a short time, the deterioration of the natural environment is inevitable.

At least, the environmental conditions in Dili, the capital, are not very good.

Of course, on the whole, the environment in Timor-Leste is not too bad, and it is basically in the initial stage of environmental deterioration, which is stronger than the rural areas of China.

Coupled with the small size of the country, it is relatively easy to improve.

Chen Zhixian was a little puzzled: "It's okay to adjust the economic structure appropriately, but we still need to improve the ecological environment?"

"Paying more attention now can reduce a lot of unnecessary expenses in the future, and environmental governance will have to be carried out sooner or later. Now that we have the experience of other countries and the funds in hand, it is better to pay attention as soon as possible. ”

Lin Han continued: "And I have opened a garbage treatment plant, a sewage treatment plant, a forest company, etc. in Huaxia, and I am still very experienced in this business. ”

Chen Zhixian was stunned: "So, the cost of improving the ecology is paid by you, and it is also charged by you?"

"Yes. Lin Han nodded.

Chen Zhixian was a little embarrassed: "What about other than that?"

Lin Han thought for a while: "Then we have to support East Timor's agriculture, at least so that the local people can be self-sufficient in food and no longer need to receive help." ”

Not long ago, Huaxia has donated a batch of high-quality grain varieties to Timor-Leste, but it has not yet been popularized on a large scale.

In addition, Timor-Leste's farming technology can be said to be very backward, and the primitive and crude method of slash-and-burn farming has not been eliminated, which not only has low production efficiency, but also has a bad impact on the ecological environment.

Coupled with the lack of fertilizers, Timor-Leste's food production has not been able to increase, and its people have sometimes to rely on other countries and international organizations for food and clothing.

The problem of fertilizer is easy to solve, in the final analysis, it is still a problem of money, and when the time is ripe in the future, Lin Han can even export a large amount of domestic garbage fertilizer to East Timor.

But the diffusion of farming techniques is much more troublesome, and the government needs to make a big deal out of it.

"After food self-sufficiency, it is the development of cash crops, that is, coffee beans. Lin Han continued, "Huaxia has a tariff-free policy for Timor-Leste's agricultural products, and with Timor-Leste's output, no matter how much it is produced, Huaxia can easily digest it, and the market will definitely not be a problem." ”

China's tariff-free policy for Timor-Leste is still quite caring, as long as it is a product originating in Timor-Leste, nearly 5,000 kinds are tariff-free.

However, it is somewhat regrettable that Timor-Leste basically does not have the corresponding production capacity for so many products that enjoy the tariff-free policy.

"When the natural environment is stabilized and agriculture is stabilized, the people of Timor-Leste will truly stand up. Lin Han paused and continued, "Next, Timor-Leste's mission is to learn from Japan. ”

"Japan?" Chen Zhixian's expression moved, "You mean the processing trade economy?"

If Saudi Arabia is a negative teaching material for the resource curse, then Japan is the corresponding positive teaching material.

Japan is an island country with very poor natural resources, and its domestic supply is seriously insufficient, so it is impossible to rely on natural resources to survive.

Under these circumstances, the Japanese had no choice but to choose a processing trade-based economic model. That is, raw materials are imported from abroad, relying on domestic population and technology, and then sold to other countries.

This economic model, which relies heavily on external supply, has also contributed to a large extent to the general sense of crisis among the Japanese people.

But it has to be said that relying on this economic model, Japan once achieved a counterattack, and rose strongly after World War II, until 2010, when it was surpassed by China in terms of total volume and retreated to the third place in the world.

Timor-Leste is also an island country, and although its natural resources are acceptable, it is obviously not a long-term solution. Treating resources as stepping stones and learning from Japan's economic model is the only way to achieve sustainable development.

Lin Han nodded: "That's right, it's a processing trade-based economy." In addition, there is also a guided planned economy, and of course, when this point is implemented, it can be carried out by some means to keep up with the situation in China. ”

The planned economy has been said to be good.

After hearing this, Chen Zhixian was silent for a while, and then said: "The planned economy should be fine, and with your capital, it is enough to carry out any form of cooperation with the East Timorese government." ”

"However, this processing trade economy does not seem to be suitable. The population of Timor-Leste is acceptable, but the quality is far from good, and the illiteracy is not ordinary. ”

Lin Han said: "This has to be done in two ways. The first is to promote urbanization and attract some migrant workers to enter the factory for primary processing and production, and the profits should still be considerable. ”

"The second is to promote education, which we have to do together with the government...... Nine-year compulsory education cannot be done for the time being, but six-year compulsory education can still be carried out. ”

"In addition, we can also set up scholarships for college students and even middle school students in Timor-Leste to study in schools in China, which can not only promote knowledge, but also promote the Chinese language. ”

Lin Han smiled: "Compared with Tetum, I think Chinese is more intelligent, after all, Chinese is the most spoken language in the world." ”

Chen Zhixian also smiled dumbly, and then asked, "Do you have any plans then?"

Lin Han nodded slightly: "The plan behind is only an idea, but there is indeed one more important thing that should be implemented in recent years." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Currency. Lin Han said, "Timor-Leste doesn't have its own currency now, which is obviously not good." ”

The main economic activity in Timor-Leste is settled directly in US dollars.

It's just that since most of the peasants have a small net worth, the government will also issue a certain number of coins for market circulation.

But these East Timorese coins are also defined in US dollars, that is, they are equivalent to US dollars, and the government cannot directly affect their exchange rate.

Chen Zhixian hesitated: "This is mainly due to the fact that Timor-Leste does not have its own bank now. ”

"The Commercial Bank of Timor-Leste is still only a plan of the government, and there is no shadow of it so far. As for the Central Bank of Timor-Leste, it is more like a statistical office, and it is not very meaningful except to investigate the state of the economy. ”
