1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 2479
The reason why Tian Yeyou chose the Xingdao colonial area to cooperate was because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the executive committee pays less attention to it, so there is more space to operate some mining projects. This is indeed what Roger did not think of beforehand.

Regardless of Tian Yeyou's true thoughts, the Xingdao Colonial District certainly could not resist the cooperation conditions he proposed, so the two sides happily reached a cooperation agreement.The three of them are the actual funders of the South China Sea Development Foundation, so this kind of internal cooperation is a situation where God knows what you know, and there will be no written agreement.

Since Tian Yeyou expressed his attitude that he would stay here permanently in Dumai, Luo Jie and Tan Juren naturally would not treat him badly, and immediately arranged a construction team to build a private mansion for Tian Yeyou locally as soon as possible.As for the service personnel such as attendants, coachmen, and cooks, Tian Yeyou was well-prepared. He had already brought a whole team here, even a personal doctor, so there was no need to trouble Tan Juren to transfer someone from Xingdao.Tian Yeyou also plans to turn around and take his family over from Sanya to live for a while, and it seems that he wants to live here with peace of mind.

Speaking of which, Tian Yeyou has traveled all over the years due to work reasons, and has visited almost all the colonial areas of Haihan at home and abroad, and thus has many more properties under his name.Wherever he stayed for more than half a year, he basically bought real estate there, which is extremely rare among the cross-travelers.If it weren't for the many children, Tian Yeyou would need to consider the distribution of property in the future, and he wouldn't have to travel around like he does now.

Situations like Tian Yeyou's are not uncommon in the upper class of Haihan.Most of the traversers were between 40 and 20 years old when they participated in the operation. Now more than [-] years have passed, the oldest of these people have become grandparents, and the youngest, such as Chen Yixin, is in his early forties. They're all in middle school.

At this period, everyone will inevitably consider the future arrangements for the next generation, and what's more, they will also think about the issue of power transfer at a higher level.Most of the elites currently in charge of the country are over 50 years old. Although normally speaking, they can still work in their posts for at least ten years or even longer, but they must start to consider the issue of choosing and training their successors.

How to transfer power in an orderly manner, in the first 20 years after time travel, basically very few people brought this issue to the table for discussion.After all, most of the people in the group are in their prime and don't want to think about these seemingly distant things so early.

But when some people's children start to work in government offices at all levels, or make their mark in the military, or become upstarts in the business world, it will inevitably arouse a sense of crisis for others.It has become the consensus of most traversers to arrange a higher starting point and a better development platform for their children.If you work hard now, maybe in 30 to [-] years, the people who will be in charge of the state power in the Haihan Executive Committee will be your sons and daughters.

The children of traversers can basically enjoy the best educational resources, and their status in this emerging country is no different from that of noble children, but whether they can become the pillars of the country in the future is not certain.However, the higher the starting point provided by their parents, the greater the chance of success in the future.

In such a small-scale interest group, connections are naturally an important factor in order to make future generations stand out.However, Tian Yeyou travels overseas all the year round due to his work, and he doesn't spend much time in Sanya. As a result, most of the contacts he makes are overseas, so when it comes time to pave the way for future generations, the strength of his contacts is mostly Senior military and political officials in overseas colonial areas.

Tian Yeyou has many children, if he wants to arrange a good way out for everyone, it is estimated that it will be difficult for him to settle down and enjoy the happiness in the next few years.At the moment, I can only do my best, and I can arrange as much as I can.

After Dumai Oilfield was officially put into production, Haihan no longer needed to worry about the supply of crude oil for a long period of time.The link that needs to be strengthened now is the construction of refineries and downstream petrochemical industry chains.

The equipment required for these production links has high technical requirements, so naturally it cannot be manufactured in the Xingdao colonial area with a weak industrial foundation, and basically all of them have to be shipped from Sanya.At the same time, a large number of engineering and technical personnel from Sanya are required to install and debug these production equipment and train operators to realize normal production.

Due to the large size and weight of these specialized equipment, it is difficult for ordinary cargo ships to carry them. Currently, this kind of highly specialized shipping business is undertaken by Yu's Shipping Company.One of the main business sources of this shipping company established by Yu Feng and Liang Liping in 1639 was the transportation of production equipment and petroleum products for several overseas oil fields.

At that time, Haihan had only one oil production area in Miaoli Oilfield. In order to monopolize the transportation of local petroleum products, Yu’s Shipping Company set up a regular route between Sanya and Miaoli at the beginning of its establishment, and customized several ships. A large cargo ship carrying fuel oil products was an extremely bold investment at the time.

After all, Miaoli Oilfield hadn’t increased its production capacity at that time, and the monthly output was not much. It would definitely lose money to rely on that little volume to maintain a dedicated route.According to the internal information provided by Lu Zhanpeng, a friend of the petrochemical department, Yu Feng rushed to take over the business before the second phase of the Miaoli Oilfield project was put into production, thus becoming Haihan's only professional petrochemical product carrier in one fell swoop, and in the following ten years Gradually expand the business scale and become a shipping company specializing in bulk commodity shipping.

The Dumai Oilfield and the Shilia Oilfield that was put into production before that, and the related transportation business are also taken over by Yu's Shipping Company.Next, Yu's Shipping Company will invest at least four oil tankers on the route from Sanya to Dumai to ensure that the petrochemical products produced in Dumai can be stably transported to China.

This is also the first fixed route connecting China since the development of Dumai Oilfield.For this reason, the Xingdao colonial area also specially provided a two-story small building for Yu's Shipping Company near the pier in Dumai as its office and temporary residence for the crew.

Due to the special nature of the Dumai area, there is a high probability that it will not be able to develop into a prosperous business area. Therefore, for a long period of time in the future, a ship line with a fixed route will be set up between Sanya and Dumai. It is estimated that only Yu's Shipping Company has taken over, which is equivalent to objectively monopolizing the shipping market here.At the beginning of the business, the unpopular route was chosen out of desperation, but now it has become a magic weapon for the monopoly operation in the petrochemical and shipping field.
