There are three main ways to attract alien immigrants:
First, job attraction. By introducing a large number of employing enterprises and setting up more high-paying positions, alien immigrants can be introduced.
Second, monetary subsidies. Subsidies are directly issued to suitable immigrants. The higher the subsidy amount, the more immigrants there will be. Specific immigration advertisements can be published on relevant alien immigration websites.
Third, land attraction. Alien enterprise owners or farm owners willing to immigrate are given a large plot of land, which can be free of charge or charged a nominal fee, and can be permanently granted or have a specified period of use.
Below this, there were more than a thousand words of rambling, detailing immigration cases from other planets and analyzing their pros and cons.
Jiang Ye understood that all these immigration policies could actually be summarized in three words: provide jobs, provide money, provide land.
It was a bit like bandits recruiting followers in ancient times, only lacking the provision of wives and husbands.
Before Jiang Ye could express his stance to Feng Zhi Shuang, another document was sent over.
Jiang Ye Star Talent and Labor Supplement Plan Draft Supplement
A "Alien Talent Introduction Foundation" can be established. If local enterprises are willing to recruit alien talent, they can donate to the foundation and entrust the foundation to help recruit. Such foundations in prosperous commercial planets are very well-developed, and can continuously absorb alien immigrants through civilian efforts.
The foundation should set up offices on alien planets to investigate local immigration needs and attract immigrants accordingly. Offices are often set up on planets with overpopulation, and may even receive financial subsidies from the other planet to maintain the foundation's operations. In an ideal state, the foundation does not consume money and even generates profit.
As per interstellar custom, the lease term for land is 66 years, after which it can be modified based on specific circumstances. A compensation standard for forced land acquisition must be established, meaning that when leased land needs to be requisitioned, tenants are given monetary compensation. The interstellar custom is twice the market price of the land.
Perfecting infrastructure, such as schools, medical facilities, and entertainment venues, can help retain alien immigrants long-term. Currently, Jiang Ye Star's education system is weak, children cannot receive adequate education, the medical system is weak, and entertainment venues are scarce. It is recommended to invest heavily in introducing schools and hospitals, and opening red-light districts. If real people are not desired, simulated red-light districts can be used.
Jiang Ye finished reading everything, pressed his earphone, and asked Feng Zhi Shuang, "Is it difficult to get simulated people?"
"It's quite difficult. We need to obtain production and usage permits from the Galactic Empire, which costs over 20 billion. Then, establishing simulated human factories and management agencies will cost another over 10 billion. If you have 34 billion ready, I can help you get it done." Feng Zhi Shuang said.
"It will take some time. I plan to develop towards Bi Rong Star for now, and I can't save up the money anytime soon." Jiang Ye said, "Money is always scarce when you need it!"
"Do you want me to help you get a loan from an alien planet?" Feng Zhi Shuang suddenly asked. "With your qualifications, you can easily get a loan of tens of billions."
"What are the interest rates? What about the risks?"
"The interest rates are naturally very high. I will help you mitigate the risks by finding large banks on large planets. How about this, I'll calculate if it's suitable, and if it is, I'll tell you." Feng Zhi Shuang paused. "Give me a day."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ye bought four hundred remote control pods, with the delivery address being the military port.
He had not received any news from Isabel. Previously, she would send a delivery notification every time he bought something large. She was probably still on Bi Rong Star and hadn't left.
The money in his account was almost spent. Remote control pods were really too expensive, and planets with tight finances could not afford a troop on Bi Rong Star.
Jiang Ye saw it clearly: the battle team rankings on Bi Rong Star were actually about financial strength. Whichever planet had more money could bring more people to Bi Rong Star, and their team points would naturally be higher.
War is about money, this truth remains unchanged throughout the ages.
After eating and going to the toilet, Jiang Ye injected himself with a physical enhancement agent and then entered the remote control pod.
When he woke up, the first thing he tasted was water.
The entire birth pod was already flooded with water, turbid yellow water more than a meter high. Jiang Ye coughed a few mouthfuls and stood up from the bathtub.
Outside, the wind was still howling, and amidst the wind was the sound of dense gunfire and artillery. Crackling from all directions, he could clearly hear some shells landing nearby, kicking up sand and dirt that splashed into the water.
Jiang Ye forcefully pushed open the door. The wind and rain hit him in the face, and he was stunned by the sight before him.
The entire world was flooded. About a kilometer away, a small iron-colored boat was sailing against the wind. Many mechs stood on the boat, along with a cannon that was continuously firing at the camp. Bullets and shells were flying incessantly. The soldiers in the camp were fighting back, lying on top of the birth pods and firing machine guns wildly!
The density of fire was terrifyingly high. The walls of Jiang Ye's birth pod were full of bullet holes, more than a beehive. The water had entered the pod through these bullet holes.
"Jiang Ye, you're here!" Isabel's voice sounded in his ear, her tone anxious. "The opposite side is from the Skyfire Banner. They don't know where they got a small gunboat, and they're attacking us!"
"What kind of organization is Skyfire Banner? Why are they attacking us? Aren't we all humans?" Jiang Ye clicked on the screen in the pod and bought a Gunner mech.
"Skyfire Banner is a small battle team, ranked 100th. Their camp is nearby!" Isabel shouted. "They probably want to eliminate us and move up one spot on the rankings!"
"Humans fighting humans, is that allowed?"
"The officials don't allow it, but everyone is fighting down here!" Isabel was extremely anxious. "Just five minutes after the fight started, more than ten birth pods have been destroyed! The cannon on their boat is too unfair! If this continues, our camp will be ruined!"
The black Level 2 Gunner mech arrived. It walked into the pod with water flowing around it, and Jiang Ye quickly put it on.
"You stay here and hold them off, I'll try to sneak around to them!" Jiang Ye closed his helmet, turned, and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out, he was hit by two stray bullets. However, they were too far away, and with the strong wind and rain, the bullets' power was greatly reduced. They just made crisp popping sounds.
Jiang Ye bent down, only exposing his head in the water as he advanced. He patted the shoulder of any soldier he encountered, signaling them to follow him.
By the time he reached the edge of the camp, Jiang Ye had nine soldiers following him, one Swordsman, and the rest were Gunners.
A small squad sequence was newly formed, and the voice systems of the ten people were connected.
Jiang Ye commanded, "Everyone follow me around to their rear, don't expose yourselves, crawl in the water. The oxygen in the mechs is enough for three to four minutes of breathing. If you can't hold it anymore, tilt your heads back and expose your helmets to the surface to breathe."
"Yes!" The soldiers shouted in unison, took a few quick deep breaths, and then submerged into the water.
The water was quite murky, with so much sand and mud that they couldn't see half a meter ahead. The surface was also covered with many leaves, as it was a sudden flood. Fortunately, Jiang Ye had marked the enemy ship's location in advance, and he led the way, crawling rapidly along the bottom of the water.
Jiang Ye felt like a large crocodile, leading nine crocodile companions to eat people.
