Chapter 17 The Transparent Man

What He Xiao said to Diana was not completely deceitful.

Building Hawke Island is exactly what he's been doing lately.

Of course, it is impossible to become a fat man by eating in one bite, you have to do it step by step.

He doesn't intend to rely entirely on the system to accomplish this goal, it's unnecessary and too wasteful of energy and time.

As long as Hawk Island is provided with strategic technical resources, and then the framework is set up, with the capabilities of the Andres and others, it is entirely possible to build Hawk Island.

There is no need for him to build it brick by brick.

After the Umbrella Coconut Juice Company "developed" the "coconut juice raw squeezing technology", the coconut juice beverage production plant built in advance has begun to be put into operation. In the first stage, 40 workers were recruited, and the wages have been greatly increased compared with the past. At 800 pounds per month, it has doubled from a year ago.

It's not that He Xiao or Roger Andre deliberately distributed coins to distribute benefits, but that after the recent infrastructure construction on Hawke Island, the service industry such as bars and restaurants has developed, and many of the original unemployed people have found jobs. .

The quality requirements of the workers in the coconut milk factory are still relatively high, at least junior high school education, young and healthy, so the salary is definitely not enough.

Akagi Miya and Nicole's current monthly salary is only 1200 pounds.

On the way home from get off work, they chatted, or else they might as well resign and go directly to work in the factory.

Of course, it is said that working in the Duke's mansion is much easier than working in the factory, and the benefits are very good. They will be the first to come into contact with all kinds of strange things from all over the world.

Hawke Island is a closed island, and there was a serious lack of foreign exchange before, so it is very difficult to transport many commodities that are very common abroad. In addition, resources such as food and fuel are the priority for importing commodities, other non-essentials, luxury goods The quantity imported is very small, and only people from the Duke's Mansion and the Administration Office can get it relatively easily.

The reason why they were willing to work as maids in the Duke's mansion before was that apart from having no other suitable jobs to do, the main reason was that they could get the most in-demand and fashionable goods here, which allowed them to live on the island. Become a star, don't mention how much face you have in front of your little sisters.

Although common goods have become less scarce since the discovery of oil and money on Hawke Island, there are still many more novel things in the Duke's mansion.

For example, they are one of the first people on Hawke Island to use hundreds of megabytes of optical fiber and WIFI signals. Like people in developed countries, they can watch videos directly on their mobile phones without worrying about traffic, which makes their little sisters envious.

In the past, the mobile phone signal of Hawke Island was borrowed from the country next door, Salia. The signal was very weak, and the traffic fee was astonishingly high. There was once a little sister who had exceeded the traffic and was forced to pay 320 pounds. If she didn’t pay, she would never Can't get online anymore.

Not long ago, under the lead of Mr. Yang of Huahai Oil Company, a communication company in Dongguo helped Hawke Island to lay and connect the submarine optical cable, and established a 4G signal station covering the whole island.

Akagi Meiya intends to go to the department store to exchange for a new East China-made mobile phone. It only costs 800 pounds and has 128G memory. You can watch videos as you like, and you can also play many popular games in developed countries.

It would be best to find a boyfriend abroad so that she can emigrate to a developed country.

Although Hawke Island is developing, the gap with developed countries is still too large.

In fact, when Hawke Island had the largest population, there were 1200 people. Later, they continued to immigrate to the suzerain Tulip country or the former suzerain country Pu, or worked for a long time in neighboring countries with larger economies and more employment opportunities. The remaining population was only 800. people.

This place is too remote, too far away from the most important economies in the world, and it is difficult to share the dividends of globalization. Even if oil is discovered, it will be difficult to change this.

The example of Nao next door has not been many years.

Although the people in the administrative office and Mr. Andre have been promoting recently that Hawke Island will be made into a little star lady, Akagi Mia, Nicole and their little sisters don't particularly believe it.

Still, it's better than before.

At least, wages have risen, and there are entertainment venues. After get off work every day, go to a bar for a drink, or go shopping in a department store, and then buy a cup of coffee and fried chicken. This is the life that modern people should have.

If only I could be like Dongguo, just move my fingers at home, no matter what kind of food and goods are delivered directly to the door, it would be great.

However, it seems that it will never be possible. Without a large enough economy and dense population, it is impossible to develop such a powerful logistics and express industry.

Not to mention that Hawk Island is not good, even many developed countries with small population densities are not good.

Some conditions are congenital and there is no way to change them.

"Hawk Island is too small, and there are too few people, so there is no future." Akagi Meiya said with emotion.

"It is possible to reclaim the sea, do you know that land reclamation is done? I read on the Internet that Xingpo and Dongguo have implemented it. We can fill up the surrounding sea and turn it into an island ten times and a hundred times bigger, and then We build a lot of houses, distribute them for free, and accept anyone who is willing to come, as long as they are not black.” Nicole said while eating fried chicken.

"The cost is too high, there is no cost-effectiveness, and it is impossible to implement it. People in Xingpo Country and Dong Country are only implementing it on a small scale." Akagi Meiya obviously has more common sense than Nicole.

"Why think so much, it's fine now." Nicole didn't take it seriously, and continued to eat fried chicken and drink Coke happily.

He Xiao asked her to learn how to cut videos with Akagi Meiya before, and Akagi Meiya learned it well, and she caught fish after two days of learning.

How comfortable it is to lie flat, why work so hard.

"Haha, that's right." Akagi Miya didn't argue with her, and then whispered, "By the way, Nico, you are so beautiful, have you ever thought about becoming an Internet celebrity? Diana is popular now, you can rub her If you become popular, you can make a lot of money."

In fact, they had thought about becoming Internet celebrities to change their fate before, but the network conditions on Hawke Island at that time did not allow them to live broadcast or make or upload videos.

"Hmph, she just has a star face. What's so special about it? She doesn't have any fashion sense. I don't want to be her follower." Nico obviously didn't like Diana.

"Do you know how much Mrs. Andre paid her for her live broadcast now?" Akagi Miya asked in a low voice.

"How much?"

Akagi Mia showed five fingers.

"Five hundred pounds?" Nicole asked in surprise.

This is equivalent to half a month's salary.

"No, no, it's five thousand pounds! At least!" Akagi Miya said.

"Let's go, let's go find her now, I think I'm suitable to be her follower!" Nico got up instantly, her eyes lit up: "It's a bit strange to say, she came to Hawke Island since she was a child, but I feel that she I really don’t have a sense of existence, I can’t remember anything about her when I was a child, and I always feel like she just popped up out of nowhere.”

"I don't have much impression, maybe because of her withdrawn personality, she hasn't played with us much." Akagi Miya said.

"You're right, she used to be a little transparent, if Gadot hadn't played Wonder Woman later, who would have noticed her!" Nicole said with a smile, straightening out the logic herself.
