Chapter 1147 The moon in Nanyang is round (Third update, please subscribe)
"...The cargo ship "Lady Dumont" loaded with 17,000 tons of soybeans imported by Kenny slowly docked at Yongjin Port and The successful completion of the unloading operation marks that my country's soybean imports from Africa have exceeded 2 million tons. At present, African soybeans have not only ensured the food supply of Nanyang, but also improved the lives of local people. According to statistics from relevant national departments, as of the end of last year, Nanyang Investment in Africa has exceeded 2.6 billion yuan, 70% of which is agricultural investment..."
Listening to the news on the radio, Zheng Jinrong couldn't help but whisper.
“Nowadays, more and more of the food eaten in Southeast Asia comes from Africa. Without African food, I might not be able to eat so much meat and drink so much milk...”
With this thought in mind, Zheng Jinrong drove the car all the way to the port. As soon as the ship entered the port, he smelled the smell of fish. This is a fishing port, and most of the people parked in the port are fishing boats. , in addition to some small offshore fishing boats of one to two hundred tons, there are also large trawlers of thousands of tons.
Under the sun, the frozen fish is being loaded and unloaded by cranes and other tools. Workers are busy loading the fish into ice trucks, weighing it, putting it into storage, and then transporting it to various markets in Chang'an.
The sea breeze hit, and the strong smell of fish made people frown. Although Zheng Jinrong was used to all this, he still couldn't help but frown, and then he entered the office nearby. Upstairs, before anyone here has entered the office, a secretary wearing a white shirt and black skirt is reporting.
"Manager, Deputy Manager Sun from Taiping Shipyard will come over to meet you in a moment. In addition, Mrs. Gardner's office of the National Preschool Education Association is asking about donations..."
Listen With Secretary Jin's report, Zheng Jinrong walked into the office. A cup of strong tea had already been brewed on the table, and the air conditioner in the office was turned on. As soon as he took off his suit, Secretary Jin had already taken it and hung it on the hanger. Then continue to report on today’s work.
“Reply to Madam’s office, the fishery company will donate 20,000 tons of pollack in the second half of this year, and it will be shipped directly by the branch of the fishery company as in previous years,”
As a senior executive of the company, Zheng Jinrong certainly knew who Mrs. Gardner was. However, he did not donate because of his wife’s identity, but because the preschool education would be connected to all kindergartens and nurseries in Nanyang and all the children of Nanyang people. Children stay there during the day, playing, playing, and having lunch. Because of this, many companies are happy to donate supplies to it.
Rice, meat, milk, cooking oil...the things they donated are all the best. After all, they are all for their children. Naturally, the fishery companies donate their own products. Although they are not precious catches, the pollack and saury produced in the North Pacific not only have large yields, but also have very good quality. They have always been the most important items on the dining tables of Nanyang people. of fish.
In fact, Nanyang people did not originally have the habit of eating sea fish. Most of them were developed in farming sites. Cheap sea fish such as saury and pollack are still often found on company canteen menus and in ordinary food. On people's dining tables.
"In addition, donate 20,000 tons to primary and secondary schools. You can't favor one over the other."
Zheng Jinrong thought for a while and mentioned the vocational middle school established by the Fisheries Association. It is his own school, of course. There is a tendency to donate tens of thousands of tons of fishing goods with just one mouthful, but in fact it is not worth mentioning to fishing companies. In the past ten years, the fishing volume in Nanyang has increased significantly, and the amount of fishing in the ocean has increased significantly. The fishery has increased fivefold in six years, and offshore fisheries have also increased.
The most important thing is technological innovation. It not only introduced ocean-going processing ships and large trawlers, but also applied military sonar detection technology to fisheries and invented the "fish school detector". In the past few years, fish detectors have continued to be improved with the continuous improvement of relevant companies, from identifying "the presence or absence of fish schools" to identifying "the depth and distance of fish schools".
It is precisely because of the invention of fish detectors that Nanyang fishing boats have become a "overlord" in the Pacific. Stories like this have been happening all over the Pacific: fishing boats from many countries have allowed Southeast Asian fishing boats to discover schools of fish first at their doorsteps. The key to this is this fish detector.
Thanks to technological progress, last year's marine fishing volume in Nanyang exceeded 3.8 million tons. Cheap and endless marine fish have become an indispensable food on the tables of Nanyang people.
Soon, while they were chatting, Sun Zixiu from the shipbuilding company came. When they saw Zheng Jinrong, they were polite for a while, and then Sun Zixiu showed him a drawing and said:< br>
"Manager Zheng, look, this is the ocean processing mother ship we designed for your company. Its displacement reaches an unprecedented 30,000 tons. It not only has freezing, refrigeration, aquatic product processing, comprehensive utilization and other equipment, but can also be used with several The fishing fleet consists of fishing boats, fueling ships and transport ships. It can also repair damaged parts of fishing boats, provide oil, water and daily necessities to fishing boats, and also provide rest, entertainment, medical and other services to the crew. The fleet can operate at sea for a longer period of time..."
This is the only magic weapon for pelagic fishing in the South Ocean - using large processing ships as mother ships as the core to carry out pelagic fishing. This allows fishing companies in the South Ocean to operate in sea areas not only across the Pacific and Indian Oceans, but also into the Antarctic and Atlantic Oceans. In addition to meeting Nanyang's own needs, the annual output can even be exported abroad.
For this reason, the company has always attached great importance to the design and construction of fishing equipment including mother ships. After all, only the most advanced equipment can guarantee the company's output.
“Different from the processing ships of the past, it can directly box and package the frozen fish, and then export it directly to other countries by the transport ship...”
In Sun Zi Xiu When Yu introduced the fishing mothership in the office, the busy dock became a little more relaxed. The workers who had been busy for half the night could finally relax a little. On the fishing boat that had been unloaded, the crew He was looking at the city on the other side of the pier with envious eyes.
Although the fishing industry in Nanyang is very developed, fishing companies employ a large number of overseas workers - these are cheap labor. The cost of hiring crew members from Japan and South Korea is far lower than hiring people from Nanyang. For this reason, fishing companies like to hire these cheap labor. The development of offshore fisheries in the South China Sea is largely due to these cheap labor forces.
However, these people stay in the port most of the time. In fact, they are considered lucky, because many of the employees of the fishing company have never been to the mainland of Nanyang until the end of the contract. Most of them are in overseas ports such as the Pacific Ocean.
At this time, these lucky people were looking longingly at the bustling city on the other side.
“This is Chang’an!”
“Yes, this is Chang’an, the most prosperous city in the world.”
Staring at the tall buildings in the distance, Jin Zhiyuan pointed. Smoking a cigarette, Nanyang Camel. When he was in South Korea, only the rich could afford to smoke it, but since coming to Nanyang, he can afford to smoke such cigarettes every day, "What a pity, we don't have a visa." , I can only stroll around the fishing port. If I can go into the city and take a few photos, I can show off to others when I return to Korea.”
The person on the side said immediately.
“Oh, what’s there to show off? The most important thing is money. How much can we earn in South Korea by working so hard for a month? Even college students only earn 20,000 to 30,000 won. You have to work hard to survive. But here, you can earn 100 Nanyang dollars a month. That’s 100 Nanyang dollars!”
“In Korean won, that’s a full 300,000 won!”
< br>Someone sighed next to him.
Now the Korean won is like paper. Once upon a time, the Korean won was still very valuable. When the country was first founded, the exchange rate between the Korean won and the U.S. dollar was set at 15:1. But the outbreak of the Peninsular War changed everything. Hyperinflation continued for several years, causing the Korean won to continue to depreciate. Now, the exchange rate between Korean won and US dollar is 6000:1.
In fact, in the past twelve years, the Nanyang dollar has also depreciated. From being initially equal to the U.S. dollar, its exchange rate with the U.S. dollar remains at about 2:1. However, this depreciation is to stimulate exports, and indeed It also achieves the purpose of stimulating exports. In the past few years, Nanyang's economy has been running wildly forward like a wild horse running wild.
However, Nanyang's rapid economic growth has little to do with these migrant workers and trainees. While the income of Nanyang people has doubled, the increase in the income of trainees and migrant workers is very limited.
But even so, for Japanese and Korean workers and trainees, they are already very satisfied.
“That is the official exchange rate. On the black market, one Nanyang dollar can be exchanged for at least 3,500 Korean won.”
"Sometimes you can even earn 4,000 won!"
The instability of the black market exchange rate is itself a symbol of economic instability.
While talking, Jin Zhiyuan leaned lazily on the fishing boat, looked at the city vaguely visible in the distance, and said:
“The money I make in a month here is more than what I earn in a month. You can earn more by working in Korea for one year. If you upgrade to a senior sailor, you can earn even more money. As long as you work for a few years, you can return to Korea and enjoy the blessings. When the time comes, I will return to Korea and let my children go to the highest level. good Let them learn Chinese well in schools, and let their sons study in Nanyang in the future, and then marry their daughters to Nanyang. This life will be complete!”
Everyone has his own dream, for As a father, Jin Zhiyuan, his dream is very simple. It is nothing more than working in Nanyang to earn more money, and then educating his children well. If there is an opportunity in the future, he will send his children to Nanyang.
Become a Nanyang!
When others heard what Jin Zhiyuan said, they all looked at the distance with longing eyes, looking at Chang'an that could be seen but couldn't get in or touch. Perhaps, this is like It's like their Nanyang Dream - it can be seen and heard, but it cannot be realized.
At this time, Park Chengan, who had been smoking next to him, said.
“Oh, in fact, in ten or twenty years, Korea may also develop, and it may even be like Nanyang in the future. By then, children will no longer have to go abroad to suffer.”
However, his expectations were not recognized by everyone.
"Haha, stop dreaming. How could South Korea become like Nanyang?"
"That's right, Nanyang is Nanyang, how is it possible for South Korea!"
"How is it impossible?" Didn’t you read in the newspaper that South Korea has sent an inspection team to study in Nanyang again? As long as we follow Nanyang studies, we will develop sooner or later..."
The people on the side retorted:
" Maybe we won’t see that day, but who knows? Maybe one day, Korea will become rich too!”
"Just dream, Korea will be like Nanyang. This is simply a big joke."
There was laughter all around, and everyone thought that guy was wishful thinking. In fact, under all of them, People have long formed an understanding in their hearts that Nanyang is the best.
After all, the moon in Nanyang is round!
