When Anlan mentions Christmas Island, most people's first impression is that the island was discovered before Christmas Eve, along with thousands of red crabs.

The first recorded appearance of Christmas Island was on Christmas Eve in 1643, when the English Captain William Minus discovered the island and named it "Christmas Island", but he was unsuccessful in landing on the island.

The island is rich in phosphate rocks, which later belonged to Australia's overseas territory, but is now terra nullius, and it will not be until two or three years after it is discovered.

"It's about 2,600 kilometres from Manchester City and 500 kilometres from Batavia, so it's the best island for us to use as a transit point." An Lan held a world map that he carried with him before crossing over, and pointed to a small dot 2600 kilometers away from Perth, Australia, and said to everyone, although it was just a small dot, but everyone here still followed the point of his fingers, trying to see something.

Because the Executive Committee has determined a new immigration plan, in order to ensure that the Chinese in the country established by the Crossing Crowd will become the dominant ethnic group in the future, Daming immigration has become the most direct choice for the Manchester City base.

"Anlan, are you sure that the current Christmas Island has not been discovered?"

"Of course, Commissioner Wang, I can assure you that Christmas Island is now a terra nullius, and as long as you drive a boat and throw a stele with the words Australian territory written on it, it will be our territory." An Lan said with a smile.

"It seems good to set up a transit station here, at least it can buy us a period of time to develop, so that the Dutch will not find out where we are earlier, but in the current situation, if we want to take care of the construction of the two bases, we will inevitably consume part of the construction materials of the Manchester City base."

"And the Dutch found out where our position is in advance, and it is worth consuming part of the materials for the development of the base, Xiao Zhao does not have to worry about this, because with the increase of manpower, the output of various factories and mines will also increase, as long as we hold on in the early stage, the problem will not be too big in the later stage."

Zhou Aiguo denied Zhao Shijie's worries, and at the same time expressed appreciation for his down-to-earth ideas at such an age, and had high hopes for him.

Several leaders of the Executive Committee sat together and conducted a series of in-depth discussions on the establishment of a transit station on Christmas Island, the most critical of which was the initial construction issue.

If a transit station is to be built here, at least a dock for the Sea Blue to berth, as well as other supporting defense systems, such as whether to build several shore defense batteries in the port and send armed forces to maintain daily law and order.

A series of questions were raised, but in the end, it was certain that everyone basically agreed on the establishment of a transit station on Christmas Island.

At this time, the unknown Christmas Island has been circled into the map of Australia.

After the meeting, a recruitment notice was posted on the notice board in the street square to develop Christmas Island and build a transit station, and the recruitment positions ranged from Christmas Island executives to ordinary workers, with a total number of about 30 people, and anyone could see that this was a big move by the Executive Committee.

This has given some young people who have not entered the management position because they have ideas, Xiao Baitu is one of them, he was born in sales, it is said that he was also a manager-level figure before the crossing, but somehow the formation of the foreign trade team last time was not able to select him, which made him sad for a while.

Now the establishment of a transit station on Christmas Island is an opportunity for him, and for aspiring young people who have always wanted to participate in management, it is also a good choice if he can successfully apply for the position of executive officer.

Zhao Shijie, who was sitting in the office and waiting for the candidates to come to the door, drank tea and looked at the magazines before the crossing was very leisurely waiting for people to come to the door, but a few hours passed, and few people came, two of them came to ask about the situation, and when they inquired about the possibility of pirate attacks on Christmas Island, there was no interest at all.

"Brother Zhao, read the magazine," Xiao Baitu walked into Zhao Shijie's office with a hunched back and a little nodding.

I am not very familiar with Xiao Baitu and Zhao Shijie, I only know that this guy is very good at talking, and he is also very good at fooling people's masters, originally the last time the trade group was formed, I thought about bringing this guy to Batavia to sell products, but was rejected by Zhou Lao and several old people, just because this guy's mouth is too good at talking and he has a bad habit, he likes to talk big, that is, bragging, so several old people are skeptical about his ability, but they don't dare to joke about the first trade related to everyone's future.

"Well, Xiao Xiao, are you okay?"

"Well, then, that, Brother Zhao, I'm here to apply for the position of executive officer on Christmas Island, what do you think of me." Xiao Baitu stammered for a while, and then pointed at himself with a smile.

"You."

Zhao Shijie looked the other party up and down, this guy is not notoriously timid and afraid, going to Christmas Island to be an executive doesn't sound good, but the danger is very great, because of the lack of manpower, the Manchester City base will definitely not be stationed too many armed forces here.

"Yes, that's right, I saw the notice that the Executive Committee is going to set up a transit station here, I think it must be to prepare for immigration, we must be going to immigrate on a large scale, this transfer station is very important, in my opinion, the Executive Committee should hire Dutch ships to transport people here, and then transport them back to the base by the Sea Blue. The purpose of this is to prevent the Dutch from discovering our truth, after all, we are too weak now. ”

"Hehe, you're right, aren't you afraid of pirates? You must know that in the early days of Christmas Island, there will not be too many forces to protect you, at most a squad of soldiers will carry out guard duties, and it is likely that a large group of pirates will be able to leave you dead without a place to bury. Zhao Shijie smiled and observed the other party's expression, but he was surprised to find that the little white rabbit, who had always been considered timid and scared, actually showed an unusually determined gaze in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, everything is dangerous, not to mention that I don't want to be an overseer on the construction site all the time, my ambition is not here."

Hearing Xiao Baitu's words, Zhao Shijie understood what the other party was thinking, obviously this is another master with lofty ambitions and ideals, but this guy is much better than those who only know what to imagine, he knows how to seize opportunities, no wonder this guy can do the position of manager, at his age, if he doesn't have a background, he must be outstanding.

If there really is no one who wants to go to Christmas Island to take a job, it is not a bad thing to let Xiao Baitu go, at least it can test his ability. Didn't the committee members say a few times ago that they wanted to see how capable he was, and this was an opportunity, whether it was the Executive Committee's absorption of talents or Xiao Baitu's chance.

"You're sure you want to go, and if you become an executive, how you're going to run Christmas Island."

"Then I will first urge the workers to build the wharf, because the wharf is the most critical place, and then I will arrange for people to build houses, and then I will establish a self-supply system on Christmas Island to reduce the burden on the base, and as for the specific development plan, I will write it out for the committee members to see."

"Okay, let's stop here today, Xiao Xiao, you go back and write out the plan and hand it over to me first, if it is really feasible, you have a good chance of being selected." Zhao Shijie got up and patted the other party's shoulder and sent him out of the office, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, if no one has applied for the job fair after the job fair, then choose this guy.
