"In recent years, the great development of fishery has led to the follow-up of many related industries. Now there are more and more practitioners in this industry." Zhang Yun, deputy general manager of the company, said in the headquarters of Nanhai Fisheries Company in Luoqiang Port. This Jun Ming Guotong was born and had a rough life in his early years. After coming to the east coast, he lowered his figure and served as the captain of a whaling ship. He made many contributions to the Nanhai Fisheries Company (Xu Dehai is now called Zhang Yunhai, which was discovered during his adventures). Therefore, he was promoted to the deputy general manager of the company and was in charge of the company's general production affairs. He was highly entrusted.

Nanhai Fisheries Company has indeed made great progress over the years, especially the booming whaling has made a lot of profits for the company. Currently, the company has 16 professional whaling ships and 3 replenishment processing ships. In addition, there are nearly ten foreign ships catching whaling in the waters near the island of Horse Island, which is considered to be a non-company member of the company's peripheral organization.

At this time, even in the Netherlands, where the whaling industry is the most developed, whales are almost unrelated to food. Only a few whalers or residents along the coast would try to deal with whales, which is very different from the behavior of the East Coast people processing on a large scale and processing whales (the "Madao" five-spice whales have become a national famous brand). However, in terms of attitudes towards whales, whales and whales, whales are not very different from those of whales around the world, such as whales used to refine oil and then be used as machine lubricant (which is rarely seen in Europe), making high-end candles, soaps, lamp oils, etc. (expensive). In addition, whales and whales also have great value in textiles.

Therefore, the whaling fleet of the South China Sea Fisheries Company (including outer ships, with more than 30 ships) has captured more than 100 whales of various colors every year to the east coast, bringing hundreds of thousands of yuan in profits, accounting for almost half of the company's profits. Although it cannot be compared with the Netherlands in the old continent (the country currently catches 700-1,000 whales every year, with an annual profit of more than 20 million gulfs), it is always not as good as the Netherlands? But at least there is not much difference in whaling with France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Denmark, etc., which may be due to the relationship between the natural whale fishing ground near the Cambridge Island? Or is the whales resources in the southern hemisphere far exceed those in the northern hemisphere?

After Nanhai Fishery Company made a daily profit, in addition to paying taxes and paying huge profits to the Ministry of Finance, the company also spent a lot of money to improve office conditions and distributed some employee benefits to boost everyone's morale. Zhang Yun's office building is now newly built (the original office building has been converted into a school building for a fishery school). It is as high as four floors, and it is extraordinary. It has adopted a large number of new technologies that have emerged in the construction industry in recent years, such as the extensive use of iron components in buildings. Nanhai Fishery Company's new office building uses cast iron components as the framework structure of some parts of the house. In addition, some wrought iron components are connected to the brick structure, which also has a high tensile strength on the wall.

It is worth mentioning that in order to prevent these iron components from cracking the walls due to corrosion and extending the service life of the building, East Coast Building Materials Company has invested heavily in recent years to make great improvements to cement. At present, an alkaline cement has been initially developed. This cement is not easy to seep water and can inhibit the rust reaction of iron components. In this way, the iron components will not be easy to rust, expand, and damage. After many years of use, the walls will not crack easily, and there will be no ugly spots and their strength will be greatly enhanced. It can be called the East Coast Republic material material. A major advance in architecture. East Coast Building Materials Company has applied for a technical patent for this cement. I believe that it will replace the cement floor slabs currently used on a large scale in the future (short life span), so it will make a fortune.

"The Nanhai Fishery Company has already had 1,883 employees, and the number of fishermen in private private fishing boats has exceeded 400. In addition, the Nanhai Railway Company also has many fishing workers. The number of fishermen in the country exceeds 3,000 is a foregone conclusion. Moreover, your company has been responding to the call of the navy in recent years and has oversupplied personnel on some fishing boats. In order to train more seafarers, if the country is not counted as the navy, there are still four or five thousand registered seafarers, and you have made great contributions. Minister Zheng of the Central Committee (Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture) also said that it is worthwhile to support you over the years. The Nanhai Fishery Company has indeed made great contributions. Vice President Zhang, you have made great contributions to these things. I have always admired them very much. And regarded them as role models..." Chen Ke, who has been transferred to the special inspector of the Ministry of Agriculture, said with a smile.

Today he came to inspect the fishery production situation under the instructions of the Ministry of Agriculture. Luoqia Port is the first stop, and he will go to Yancheng Port, Madao Balewhale Port and Araukan Port, a subsidiary of Nanhai Railway. As an important figure in the Nanhai Fisheries Company, Chen Ke did not dare to be too lazy even if he was a second generation. Moreover, he himself admired Zhang Yun, so he spoke very politely.

"Haha, Inspector Chen is really good at speaking." Zhang Yun smiled, "It's all the hard work of everyone. I can't do so many things by myself. Mr. Chen, Vice President Li, and Vice President Lin of the company (these people are all time travelers. They are responsible for personnel, attendance, finance, market, external relations and other matters. They may participate when formulating major policies, but they don't usually interfere with daily production) are also mature and persistent people. They have helped contact many small workshops around, small businesses and handicraftsmen, and also helped the company to run loans, policies, and equipment. To be honest, the credit is much greater than mine and is much more important. I am just a foreman who follows the instructions of the top peak and takes production step by step. Haha, foreman..."

...

"In the past few months since I came back, I have also visited some old officials and comrades-in-arms. Some things have been cleared." Zamparini has drunk a lot of alcohol today, and his face turned red. He only heard him say: "Now, the Nanhai Fisheries Company is the right one. They call the fishery trust enterprise, and the daily operation of the fishery trust enterprise is handled by Deputy General Zhang Yun, but the money approval is handled by Deputy General Li, and the personnel affairs are handled by Deputy General Lin, and General Chen is responsible for it. But I heard that he is in poor health and has been recuperating. However, it is said that Mr. Chen has done a lot of things before he got sick. Many small workshops have developed in recent years, which is the credit of Mr. Chen. Look at the large area on the street, I count the iron anchors (a small one used for fishing boats).

shaped iron anchors or special iron anchors), ballast stones, basket-woven craftsmen, coopers, blacksmiths who make various tools, carpenters, wood merchants, siding board makers, marine skin makers, compass make pumps, fish hooks and iron nails, lead pipes, pulleys, rope-twisted, weaving wool cotton silk, spinning, fine canvas weaving merchants, custom-made small workshops of various specifications, nets (also repairs), special marine candles and butter candles, and a large number of winemakers, toasters, steamed buns and cake sellers, restaurants, bathhouses, butchers, farmers selling agricultural products and even Italian **,

Oh, I can't forget that there are still a large number of ship repairers, dock workers, and even the shipyard in Dongfang County next door has benefited a lot from selling many fishing boats. You see, this industry has allowed so many people to find jobs and support themselves. The employment of these small businesses, small handicraftsmen and their families, is the minimum, and it has supported too many people..."

Zhu Chengdong has also been wandering in this market for several years and basically agrees with what Zamparini said. The above handicrafts did not emerge out of thin air overnight, but as the scale of fishery production gradually increased, I heard that there were more such handicraftsmen in Yancheng Port. Some of them came from Europe, and a small part came from the Eastern Ming Kingdom, according to the virtues of the illuminated people, even if the handicraftsmen immigrated to the east coast, they would choose to farm. Fortunately, the country forced these people not to divide the land, allowing them to make money by relying on craftsmanship, but the most were the apprentices who were gradually learning locally. The number of these people was so huge that they had gradually accounted for half of the number of people. The masters who brought them also received generous state subsidies. And because of the large market demand, they were not worried about their unemployment. It was a joy.

In fact, in this era, the team of craftsmen who rely on the marine industry to make a living are also extremely large. However, what is different from them on the East Coast is that even small workshop companies use mechanical equipment to work a lot, which greatly reduces the requirements for technical proficiency, improves labor efficiency, and has similar product specifications and is more versatile. This is undoubtedly the benefit of industrialization and standardization. I believe that as the marine industry in the East Coast Republic becomes more and more developed, these small workshops and self-employed businesses will gradually evolve into small factories and small shops, and eventually grow into large enterprises and large shops that attract attention.

After the meal, Zhu Chengdong and Zanpalini took a break for a while, and then parted ways. Zhu Chengdong went back to sell seafood to other distributors. Zanpalini ran to the nearby Rongjun Township (formerly Rongjun Farm) to visit the disabled brothers who fought side by side in Shandong. During this period, everyone drank and recalled the glorious years of the past. In the end, they cried bitterly and couldn't afford to get drunk.
