Chapter 331 Internal Affairs Conference-Population Legal Affairs Finance
  (Thanks to the book friend who can’t sleep for the book coin reward, thank you puppet!)

On February 1896, 2, Nanhua Company's annual internal affairs meeting was held as scheduled.

The meeting location was still the Jinling (Bulawayo) Conference Center Building, where representatives from various departments gathered.

Shi Jintang took out a box of cigars and placed them on the conference table, and then distributed them to the heads of departments one by one. Everyone laughed very happily when they received Boss Shi's cigars.

Last year, the company's various businesses were developing well, and even Sansa Bruce had a tacit attitude towards the behavior of the company's smokers.

After everyone lit their cigars, they started puffing smoke, making the conference room "smoky". Tie Lan couldn't help but get up and open the window of the conference room.

Today is a rainy day, and with the cool breeze blowing in, the conference room becomes cooler.

Everyone praised the wind as a good one and a good one!

Boss Shi was not in a hurry to start the meeting. He waited until everyone had finished smoking before knocking on the table and said, "Come on, Director Fu, you better speak first."

Futong placed half of the cigar on the edge of the ashtray and opened his notebook.

“The company currently has a total immigrant population of 581 million, of which 437 million are Chinese, accounting for the vast majority of the population.

Although the 19.1 Mingxiang people are different from the Chinese in the Qing Dynasty, they are still generally classified as Chinese.

There are 32.7 Koreans, 26.3 Japanese, and 17.5 Malays. These three ethnic groups have become the largest minorities in the company.

There are 8.8 other ethnic groups from Beijing, 3.4 from Thailand, 2 from Laos, 4 from Myanmar, and 2 from Khmer. These ethnic groups are all relatively small in number.

Among these populations, Chinese male immigrants still make up the majority, while among the ethnic minorities, except for the Mingxiang people, other yellow-skinned ethnic groups only introduce female immigrants and young children.

In addition, among the white-skinned people within the company, there are 10.3 British people, 8.5 German people, 5.6 Arab people, 2.8 Portuguese people, and 1 Boer people. "

Hearing this, Shi Jintang still had a headache. As the development of the Matabeleland area deepened, British immigrants also became more and more local immigrants.

Nanhua Company cannot turn them away for the time being and can only accept them.

However, when allocating land, it is all distributed centrally. The purpose of this is to facilitate capture and management at critical moments in the future.

As for German immigrants, they played an important role in the industrial development of Nanhua Company. They all acted as the backbone of workers in the light industry of electricity, leather, and transportation machinery.

These Germans are willing to endure hardships and are honest, making them good candidates for industrial workers.

They also get along most harmoniously with the Chinese and are far less arrogant than the British.

As for the Arabs, they are the remaining residents of the former Sofa city. They are currently living a good life in Beira Port and actively integrate into secularization.

They are willing to engage in business, pay taxes on time and in accordance with the law, and do not love agriculture and are unwilling to engage in industry. Such people are what rulers need.

……

"Since the company received a large number of immigrants during the snowstorm in 1893, the company's total population has successfully exceeded 470 million. In 1894, the immigration work suffered a major setback, and only 40 immigrants were transported throughout the year.

The immigration work in the first half of last year was not smooth. Fortunately, Mr. Shi contacted Qingguo in time to provide a loan and signed an immigration contract, which ensured the base of 60 immigrants per year for our Immigration Bureau.

At present, the gender ratio among corporate immigrants has increased again. The company currently has a shortfall of 60 women of childbearing age. The next step of our work is still to focus on introducing female immigrants.

So I would like to ask, can the restrictions on the introduction of Japanese female immigrants be relaxed now? "

Shi Jintang thought for a moment and looked at Tie Lan.

"Tie Lao, please tell me about the severe crackdown last year."

Tie Lan nodded, stood up and spread out the notebook in his hand.

"Let me first talk about the total statistics of the crackdown. In the second half of 1894, we and the police department received a total of more than 8000 cases of abuse of Japanese female immigrants, of which there were more than 4100 cases in one month at the peak.

The most serious one was that all five members of the family were burned to death. This victim's family married a Japanese wife, and everyone else was innocent.

But the thugs ignored them and locked the family in a room and burned them alive!

Such thugs have been sentenced to death by us and have already been executed.

Most of the remaining criminals involved in vicious assault cases were sentenced to 5 to 15 years of reeducation through labor.

Before execution, according to Mr. Shi's instructions, we will arrange for these people to parade around and hold as many sentencing meetings as possible.

After doing this, more people became aware of their crimes.

At the same time, "Nanhua Daily" and "Nanhua Newsletter" have done extensive and long-term publicity reports. Generally speaking, the results of these publicity work are indeed very good. Mr. Shi’s methods are always efficient and in line with the reality of our Nanhua Company. I have to say that Mr. Shi has truly achieved the level of “people skills are as good as articles”! "

Shi Jintang flicked the cigar ashes on his hand and smiled, "I also read and think more, and there will always be a suitable way. You may wish to learn more from me when doing administrative work in the future."

Everyone in the conference room nodded and replied: "Yes!"

“As the company’s crackdown has deepened, publicity has been in place.

After 1895, such cases decreased significantly. Even if crimes were committed, the means of infringement were much milder, and there were no more vicious cases of murder.

However, it is difficult to detect such cases. Unless the victim calls the police, it is difficult for us to know, so our statistics may be inaccurate.

The number of such cases dropped to more than 1895 in 1200, while other types of civil cases increased relatively.

Last year, our legal department handled 139 large-scale criminal cases, 1687 ordinary criminal cases, and 15250 civil cases.

In terms of case handling satisfaction, 81%.

The police department handled a total of 35 cases, 9.7% of which were civil disputes, and there were fewer vicious and large-scale criminal cases.

In recent years, the company's legal personnel and police force have increased significantly, and the pressure to maintain stability has increased sharply.

I hope that the company can increase the welfare system for our legal and police departments and move closer to the education and medical departments. "

Hearing Tie Lan's complaints, Shi Jintang couldn't help but scratch his head.

Previously, the number of civil servants for the legal and police systems was greatly increased, from more than 2,000 to more than 10,000.

This welfare system is aligned with the education system and the medical system, and the pressure on the financial sector can be imagined.

Shi Jintang had no choice but to turn to Sansa Bruce, "Grandma God of Wealth, please tell me."

Sansa Bruce nodded, "Although the company's financial income has grown rapidly in recent years, the financial expenditure has also increased significantly.

The company's total financial revenue last year was 73.28 billion yuan, of which 25.9 billion yuan was from domestic taxes, 43.3 billion yuan was distributed from overseas companies, and 4.08 million yuan was from indigenous taxes. "

Hearing this, Shi Jintang nodded.

The rate of decrease in the number of black people in the company has slowed down a lot. In the past few years, the number of black people in the company has been less than 50.

These black people have become valuable, and the company still needs black people in many places, so he is wondering whether to open up some new territories.

After much thought, I finally gave up.

The Boers and the British have become hostile and are about to enter a critical period. It is best not to cause any more trouble.

These 50 black people can still survive for a few years if they save a little.

If it's really not enough, just transfer a batch from the Rhodesia Company. Anyway, now the Rhodesia Company itself has said it will work.

……

"Well, judging from the revenue of your finance department, can the welfare requirements of the law and police departments be met?"

Sansa Bruce nodded, "It should be possible. Last year, the company's total financial support was less than 60 billion yuan in military bills.

It is possible to use the remaining funds to cover the welfare systems of the law and the police system, but we must also find ways to increase the company's income.

After all, a fiscal surplus of more than one billion yuan is very fragile. "

Shi Jintang nodded, "Okay, Mr. Tie, I can answer you now. I will approve your welfare request. You can make an application form and submit it after the meeting."

Tie Lan smiled and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Shi."

Shi Jintang looked at Futong again, "Director Fu, your request can also be lifted. If it still can't be solved, let's find a solution to Italy in Europe. Their willingness to immigrate is also very strong."

Although Italy has been unified for a long time, the people at the bottom of the country are very poor. These people were the main source of immigrants from South America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Nanhua Company used to accept immigrants. As long as they were willing to pay, they could receive immigrants.

Futong nodded immediately, "Okay, Mr. Shi."
