Chapter 233 Labor Export
In fact, before Bowen made this suggestion, he had already thought of a word in his mind, labor export.
This is a word that is often heard in later generations, the export of labor force from the provinces with large populations to the economically developed coastal provinces, which is a very common thing in the early days of reform and opening up, with the transformation of the industry in the coastal provinces, the output of the single labor force has not been able to adapt to the environment, and the talents with certain skills have become the sought-after goods in the coastal provinces.
This is now the case in the relationship between the Netherlands and Australia, where the Netherlands and its neighbours have a large surplus of labour, most of which is due to small artisanal owners who have gone bankrupt for various reasons, as well as landless farmers.
What if these countries could be able to organize the existing large refugee teams to go into the relevant factories to learn certain skills and export them to Australia?
After all, there are a certain number of craftsmen recruited in Australia, and if they are imported to Australia after training, they can not only meet the demand for recruitment, but also reduce some refugees for European countries and bring a good environment for urban security.
However, this is only suitable for experiments in Europe, it is absolutely impossible to be in Daming, and the traditional etiquette will not agree, Yu Bowen even sighed that he came to Europe, otherwise he would not know how to complete the tasks assigned to him in China if he went to Daming.
Of course, someone has to believe in this fool to carry it out, although Europe has such conditions, but if there is no willingness to do it, it can only exist in the imagination of the brain.
Crick is a shrewd Dutch government official, and when Yu Bowen put this method out, he won his support, and saw that the benefits were huge, and if enough skilled talents could be cultivated, the more money could be sent to Australia, which meant more money to be earned.
After all, the population trade in this period was very profitable, and the Netherlands was already doing this business, how could it not understand the huge profits.
After talking to the city magistrate Van Boor, the city councillor agreed with Crick that it was a good deal, which would not only solve the unrest caused by the crowded and chaotic environment of the city's refugees, but also create profits for the country.
This is a good deal, and he immediately asked Crick to go to the city hall to attend a dinner, in fact, to ask them how to implement this method.
Although Yu Bowen said that the government should cooperate, he did not say how to implement it, so they felt it was necessary to talk to Australians.
When Yu Bowen in the consulate received the invitation from Crick, he threw it aside with a smile and said to his assistant: "It seems that the Dutch are not stupid, they are worthy of being an emerging country based on commerce, as long as there is a slight benefit, they will not let it go." ”
Fei Zhangsong has now become Yu Bowen's assistant, and his official position is that he is an attaché at the consulate in Europe, and his main job responsibility is to do the secretarial work of Yu Bowen, and he is also a key training official of the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
According to the Parliamentary Decentralization Act, all consulates abroad are only responsible to the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the embassy is only responsible to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In fact, it can be seen that most of the personnel in the European consulate are basically from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the two sides have a common alliance of interests, and it is impossible for them to defect to the newly established Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Therefore, Australia's foreign exchanges are basically controlled by the Ministry of Foreign Trade, which is an indisputable fact, except for the existence of certain authorities in Daming and the Ministry of Foreign Trade in Southeast Asia, there are no personnel stationed in distant places like Europe.
"Consul, it seems that your plan is about to come true, and the Dutch really intend to train the craftsmen we need in the country to deliver to us." Fei Zhangsong expressed his admiration for Yu Bowen's plan, and at the same time thought that it would be absolutely impossible for this matter to be placed in Daming.
Well, of course, the Netherlands must have seen the benefits in it, Songzhi, you get ready to attend with me. Yu Bowen is still very good for this follower, and has the intention of cultivating him as a qualified diplomat, and of course, he also thinks about letting him take over if he returns to China.
Songzhi is Fei Zhangsong's word, so he usually calls him in Bowen to indicate that the relationship between the two is not ordinary, and Fei Zhangsong will call him consul, as respect, but it is different from the strange relationship between other people, the two can be said to be teachers and friends.
Usually in addition to a little criticism of this teacher-like friend in terms of life style, Fei Zhangsong still thinks he is very talented, of course, this kind of liking for beautiful women, in fact, in the eyes of an ancient literati like him, is not a big deal. After all, it is not uncommon for talented people to be merry in the Ming Dynasty, and this Australia is in the same vein as the former Song Dynasty, so it is naturally about the same.
By evening, the Amsterdam City Car's carriage had arrived outside the consulate and was waiting.
Yu Bowen and Fei Zhang gave a dress and got into the carriage to go to the banquet hall of the city government. At this time, Crick and Van Boor were already standing at the door to greet each other's arrival, after all, it is not an exaggeration to be greeted by the city magistrate in person with an identity like Yu Bowen.
I'm really glad to see you again, Mr. Consul, thank you so much for today's riots at the docks, let's go, let's please, I've got all the beautiful ladies of Amsterdam here tonight. Van Boer looked at Yu Bowen meaningfully, and heard a lot about the rhyme of this amorous diplomat.
So that look is clearly telling him that there are a lot of beauties here tonight, and their status is not low, it depends on whether you can win it.
As Van Boor entered the dinner restaurant and had eaten the carefully prepared food, the ball officially began.
At this time, Yu Bowen was like a shepherd dog shuttling through the flock, holding a glass of red wine, clinking glasses and drinking with every young woman and celebrity present, and his amount of wine was indeed good.
Half an hour later, Crick came over and invited him to the city councilor's office to talk, but he didn't know what was going on.
"Mr. Consul, I would like to hear your opinion, you said that you need our cooperation, and I want to know what arrangements need to be made by the city government."
"Actually, it's very simple, Yu Bowen explained with a smile, as long as Mr. City Officer organizes the well-behaved refugees in the city and sends them to your shipyards and various blacksmith shops or other places of work to study, and when they learn to send them directly to Australia, this is much faster than your direct recruitment of refugees, and it is still in batches."
"That's a good idea, but Mr. Consul, you know, if you send these people to the shipyard, the shipbuilders will definitely not agree unless the government gives them money." Van Boor was not stupid and raised his own concerns.
"Yes, you're right, the government does need to give them money, because in a way they do help the government work, so you should consider giving them money, as for this part of the money, I think you should recover it from these refugees, of course, this fee can be repaid by a few percent of their salary during a year of working in Australia, this fee can be called training fee, the money can be temporarily funded by the government, but the cost of training must be within a certain limit."
Yu Bowen's suggestion is a common method used by labor companies in later generations, but he makes this method simpler, and for the shrewd Dutchman, of course, he can understand it at a glance, and even his eyes are bright, as if he has stepped into a new field.
But for those hopeful refugees, it will be an exploitation of them. But this is also the only way out for them, otherwise they can only live on the streets of the Netherlands and rely on the handouts of well-wishers, believing that anyone who does not want to live this life will choose to agree.
