Chapter 592: Share the Benefits
Wang Yuanchao took his two children to visit his uncle Michael.
Michael is now a senator from California.
Congressman, one term for six years. Influenced by his father Reagan, he was a senator in California, and his influence was growing rapidly.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of the California consortium, especially Wang Yuanchao.
In turn, Wang Yuanchao also needs Michael's care.
First, he needs to recruit a large number of highly educated talents in California, possibly from all walks of life, to serve as a talent pool for universities in Borneo.
These talents will first go to Hong Kong to teach for a year to adapt to the tropical climate, and then transfer to Borneo to teach.
If they can be attracted with ideals, then use ideals to attract them; if they can be attracted with treatment, then use treatment to attract them. Anyway, Wang Yuanchao will not treat them unfairly.
He came to say hello to Michael, hoping that Michael would greet the colleges and universities in California and have his supporters give presentations on campus.
Similar to campus recruitment.
The social atmosphere in California is the most tolerant towards people with yellow and black skin, so he could only take advantage of the schools in California.
Once the level of Borneo University is improved, it will be much easier to recruit top students from other schools or poach famous scholars.
The official languages of Borneo have been determined to be English, Chinese and Malay. English is the administrative language.
Wang Yuanchao only wanted to establish English and Chinese, but that was too blatant, so he had to add Malay. But he was prepared to let Malay fend for itself, yes, fend for itself.
The education system in Borneo is like this: the state is responsible for university education, including Borneo National University, Polytechnic University, Industrial University, Agricultural University, Forestry University... and so on. Basically, they are corresponding to the administrative departments to cultivate specialized talents.
The language of instruction in universities is English, but private donations are encouraged to establish Chinese universities or Malay universities, without any restrictions.
The official textbooks of national universities are in English, but in private, if you use Chinese or Malay versions of textbooks, the government will not care.
But who would be so bored as to privately fund the printing of Malay version of textbooks?
In addition to the Malay language major, after all, there are still citizens who speak Malay, and we cannot not understand what our own family members are saying. However, Wang Yuanchao's attitude must be that one thing will increase while the other will decrease.
The Chinese are very good at selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton.
University education is too far away from ordinary people, but high school education is similar to that in the mainland. All subjects are available, English is a compulsory language, and Chinese and Malay are optional. As for mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, history, society, music, and physical education, all these subjects are available. As for the teaching language, it is up to each school to choose freely.
Because secondary education is hosted by provinces and the National Capital Region.
[Province is actually equivalent to the inland region, or city]
Whether in Indonesia or East Malaysia, the cities here are cities with smaller areas and mainly non-agricultural economic activities; counties are usually larger in area, with larger populations, diverse economic activities, and greater autonomy; of course, they are all administrative agencies of the same level, just with different focuses.
Borneo was divided into 26 provinces and the Capital Special Administrative Region.
There are 5 provinces in Sarawak, 5 provinces in Sabah, 4 provinces in East Kalimantan, 3 provinces in South Kalimantan, 2 provinces in Central Kalimantan, 3 provinces in West Kalimantan, 3 provinces in Riau Islands, and 1 province in Belitung Island, totaling 26 provinces.
The capital special administrative region was not set up in Pontianak as Wang Yuanchao originally envisioned.
Because although this place has a developed economy, a large population and many Chinese people, it has a criss-cross network of canals and most of the houses are built on water, so it is really not suitable to be a capital.
So later, everyone went upstream along the Kapuas River, the largest river in Kalimantan, and found that Sangkao County would be more suitable. It could not only take advantage of the river transportation of the largest river, but also be like planning the capital special zone from a blank sheet of paper.
The province with the smallest population, such as Belitung Province, has a population of over 20 but is less than .
The most populous provinces, such as Batam in the Riau Islands, have over one million people.
Each province can have one member of the House of Representatives for every 10 people in the population, and each province has a fixed number of two senators, which is exactly the same as the system in the United States.
If you want more seats in the House of Representatives and more votes, then develop the economy and absorb the population.
This is a far-fetched topic. Middle schools are hosted by each province. In fact, it is equivalent to a county or city with a population of 20 to 100 million in the mainland, with one or two middle schools.
There is no distinction between junior high and high school in Borneo for the time being, and the school system is four years.
This requires the local governments to pay for it. Do they have the money?
They have no money!
Wang Yuanchao won’t give them money!
So we still have to rely on donations!
Whether Malays, Javanese, or indigenous people, who is as rich as the Chinese?
If schools donated by Chinese people don’t teach Chinese, what else do they teach?
As for primary schools, each town also runs its own school. Like secondary schools, they only offer Chinese/Malay, mathematics, art, physical education, and music, with a 5-year curriculum.
The Chinese have even set up their own scholarship fund to provide subsidies for Chinese teachers in various schools.
I don’t know whether the money in this fund was donated by Chinese people or came from somewhere else.
In the short term, Borneo's investment in education will be very limited, so the limited funds will naturally be invested in universities to ensure elite education.
Basic education depends entirely on the “private sector”!
If anyone says that Borneo is a wolf in sheep's clothing, then come and donate money and build a school!
Malaysia and Indonesia are already busy with their own domestic affairs, so why would they worry about the affairs of Borneo?
Dare you worry about the affairs of the Kingdom of Borneo?
As an Asian country, who can worry about the Commonwealth countries and the affairs of our little brothers where the US troops are stationed?
European and American countries, you are welcome to donate and to teach here - if there are enthusiastic people like you.
In Borneo, with a population of only 15 to 16 million, it is much easier to popularize education than in the mainland.
Schools funded by Chinese do not only recruit Chinese, but treat everyone equally. Oh, by the way, Borneo does not have a nationality, it is just Borneo people.
You do the job that suits the language you speak and the education you have received.
It's that simple.
In addition to college recruiting, he acquired a pharmaceutical company in California and prepared to develop the little blue pill Viagra.
Originally, he was planning to take it to Borneo for research and development.
But after visiting the pharmaceutical companies, if there is a finished product, they can quickly analyze the specific ingredients for you, which makes hidden production a joke.
It still depends on patents.
In another time and space, he didn't know when the little blue pill came out, but it must be later than now.
Patents are time-limited.
Even with the help of my father-in-law, 25 years is the maximum.
But this is good news for men, it's a gold mine!
So he planned to launch this gold mine. Now his father-in-law was in a good situation, so if he didn't launch it now, when would he?
With the little blue pill, he can gradually introduce the other pills.
All the medicines in the space at the beginning had chemical formulas, and everything was written clearly for you. They were for headaches, fevers, anti-inflammatory and analgesics, which one of them was not worth a fortune?
He will then set up a pharmaceutical factory in Borneo and authorize it for the Asian and Oceania markets.
As for the rest of the market, the California consortium took over.
He will further integrate the California consortium and become the undisputed core of the California consortium.
The small pill still needs to go through a series of procedures and will be produced around next year, just in time for the Los Angeles Olympics.
As we all know, Dudu is one of the best-selling products in the Olympics, and many of the people who come out are not physical enthusiasts like the athletes. They are either old and weak, or have indulged in excessive sexual activities. The small pill will let them know what it feels like to be young.
Wang Yuanchao even wondered whether it was possible for Borneo to bid for the 92 Olympic Games.
The application for hosting the Olympic Games is usually made 6 or 7 years in advance, so the selection for the 88 Seoul Olympics in South Korea was completed two years in advance.
So, if Borneo wanted to bid for the 92 Olympic Games, it should have been around 85 or 86.
In two or three years, the country of Borneo with such a small population could be almost put in order.
The Olympic Games have a huge impact on the publicity of the country and the promotion of infrastructure.
Borneo is not very famous in the world, but one of the ways Wang Yuanchao positioned this country later was as a tourist destination. Then the Olympic Games was the biggest publicity for it, right?
Bali, as we all know, Batam, known as Little Bali, is the second most visited tourist destination in Indonesia.
Semporna, this name, listen, doesn't it sound very fairy? In the future, it will be a famous diving resort and a world-renowned underwater tourism center.
Add to that the vast tropical rainforest, which is second only to the Amazon in Brazil, and the various magical animals and plants, and there are countless tourist treasures to discover.
Borneo has been carrying out major infrastructure projects every five years. If it is combined with the Olympic Games, it will be a win-win situation.
Don’t say that the two consecutive sessions were held in Asia. That’s unscientific and unreasonable.
There is no such provision in the Olympic rules and regulations.
In the early days, they were all held in Europe!
In 96, Athens wanted to bring the Centennial Olympics back to Athens, but Atlanta, USA, snatched it away. They had just hosted it in 84, so what's impossible?
Think about how Sydney won in the first place?
Cash ability.
But if we really want to have this idea, we must take action now. We must first set up the Olympic bid team, Olympic bid plan, and Olympic bid budget.
We also need to bring some people over from the United States. They have applied to host the Los Angeles Olympics before and will be hosting the Olympics soon, so they must be experienced.
Various construction projects require people to be recruited from the mainland. The mainland is worried about so many people being unemployed and causing trouble everywhere, so a large number of people have been recruited from within the mainland.
Nothing more than spending some money.
Besides, it’s not Kao Yuanchao’s money alone.
It is no exaggeration to say that Wang Yuanchao's money came from the wind.
As long as it makes sense, he is willing to spend money!
Although the National Bank of Borneo has the word "national" in its name, it is not completely state-owned.
The state only holds a 70% stake.
For the remaining shares, Bank of America of the California consortium holds 8%, Wells Fargo holds 5%, First Citibank of the Citigroup holds 7%, HSBC holds 5%, and Hong Kong Commercial Bank holds 5%.
It is true that I am in you and you are in me, and the benefits are shared equally.
