Chapter 949: Finding an Economic Engine

But the vast majority of people still don't believe or dare not believe Guo Shucheng's words. Because Qionghai Island is a large area, larger than many small countries in the world, involving many industries, it is very different from military factories. The military factory has military products to sell, and as long as the products are marketable, the fate of the low profits of this military factory can be quickly changed.

But the entire island of Qionghai Island cannot be improved by one or two products, not to mention that there are no good products here at all. He would be naΓ―ve to think that the beautiful surroundings would be able to get gold bars back from travelers. The environment of Qionghai Island has been like this for thousands of years, and it has always been magnificent and beautiful, but what is the use of such a good environment, it was still a place of exile for prisoners in the past? A good environment can't be eaten or worn, it's just a dispensable leisure.

I really don't know if he has a problem with his brain or if the superior leader has a problem with his brain, and it is really hanging to let him be in charge.

Guo Zhuocheng smiled and said, "Your worries are indeed justified. ......, then you put aside the problem of tourism and talk about what measures you are going to take to change the backward appearance of Qionghai Island if you sit in my position? ”

If this kind of thing is said in another ten or twenty years, it will definitely be no problem, and everyone is not surprised, because at that time, even school teachers would come up with this kind of essay question "If I am ......", which is called empathy.

But now Guo Zhuocheng is a bit rebellious when he says it, because now he pays attention to seeking his own government in his position, doing one line of love, working honestly and diligently in his own post, and not being ambitious. Don't always want to be promoted, don't always think about squeezing out others.

listened to Guo Shucheng's words. Ye Zhang couldn't help but be frightened, and hurriedly said: "Director Guo, I'm just talking about my Fa, I really don't mean that, I'm now serving as the director of the office because the organization trusts ......."

Guo Zhuocheng interrupted him with a smile and said, "I believe in you." I said this just as a kind of empathy, and I don't mean that you want to usurp power and brainstorm ideas. Besides, you're also a mid-level leader. It is only one step away from the Standing Committee of the Party Committee of the Office of the People's Office, and it should also consider the problem from the standpoint of the overall situation. I don't believe you haven't thought about it, and if you do, that's what disappoints me. ......, just say it, I won't blame you if I say it wrong, and we're bored in the car. Talking while watching the scenery, comfortable! ”

Ye Zhangxin said: Hmph, you still want to blame me? You say so much empty talk, I haven't said anything about you yet.

But he said in his mouth: "Director Guo, then I'll just say it, please don't be angry." ”

Guo Zhuocheng smiled. Didn't speak.

Ye Zhang said: "I think that if we want to change the backward appearance of Qionghai Island, we have to start with agriculture. Agriculture is the foundation of a qiΔ“, only with food can we have enough to eat, only when we have enough food, we can do other things, otherwise nothing can be done. We have a lot of favorable conditions on Qionghai Island. For example, rice can be harvested three times a year, and the fruit is continuous in all seasons. As long as we increase investment and pool our financial budget to improve agricultural seeds and expand the production of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and agricultural inputs, agricultural output will certainly increase by a large margin.

Although our fruits have been cultivated for thousands of years, the products are not high and the quality is not the best, if we make more efforts to improve the fruit varieties, or simply introduce better fruit varieties from abroad, I believe that we can also create more foreign exchange. With grain and fruits, the economy of Qionghai Island will be able to develop slowly, and it will keep up with the pace of the mainland. ”

Guo Zhuocheng sighed, still noncommittal, but asked: "What about industry and fishing?" Qionghai Island is surrounded by the sea, and the fishing industry should be very developed, right? ”

Ye Zhang said: "Industry is definitely not good, our foundation is too weak, and there are almost no factories and enterprises on the island now." In the past, the country's investment was mainly used in the construction of rubber plantations, and other industries only had some small factories, which produced some daily necessities, and the quality was not to mention compared with the products produced in Huhai City, but it was too far worse than that of Wuyang City.

As for the fishing industry, although we are surrounded by the sea here, it is still not as developed as the fishing industry in Ludong Province, Huhai City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, and in addition to the tropical and high temperatures here, if there are too many fish caught here, it is easy to perish, and it will not be stored for long, and the fishermen must transport it to Hong Kong and other places to sell. Once it dies and stinks, no one wants it. Because of these conditions, our fishing industry cannot develop at all. ”

Guo Zhuocheng frowned and asked, "We don't have a large freezer warehouse for fishermen?" We don't have a large fish processing plant? ”

Ye Zhang shook his head and said, "Large freezer? No. How can we afford to build a large freezer? Each fishery production team builds its own processing and freezers are very small. In the past, the production team was the main team, and the freezer was still a little useful, but now the fishing boats are contracted to private individuals, and the big boats are also contracted by several companies, and no one will take the money to build any freezer, and whoever has the way will sell it. To tell you the truth, the current fishery production is still lower than before, because everyone is basically working alone, and it is difficult for the big boats to operate, so they all catch a little fish nearby and sell them as soon as possible. Their own lives have improved a lot, but the state taxes are much less.

There are deep processing factories for fish products, which are all done by several county-run small enterprises, making some canned food or something, but the sales are not good. Those who have eaten marine fish along the coast, they can catch it themselves and make it themselves, and they will not spend money on our canned food. And those inland provinces that do not have sea fish, they are not used to eating sea fish, saying that it smells fishy, and they do not like to buy it.

As a matter of fact, the biggest problem restricting the development of our Qionghai Island is the inconvenience of transportation, and our canned fish products have worked hard to transport them to the mainland, and we cannot even earn back the transportation costs, and we will lose as much as we sell. In addition, ours is all handmade, and there is no comparison with seafood in Shanghai and other places, and people don't like us at all. It is unsalable and loss-making, so these processing plants are half-dead. ”

It can be heard that Ye Zhang still has a full understanding of the whole island, but because of the limitations of the times, he can't think of a good way for the development of Qionghai Island, and he is at a loss, so he can only work hard from agriculture, including fruit planting, like most people, and mainly focus on production rather than sales, and there is no sales awareness and brand awareness.

Of course, now they don't have a fist product at all, and it's a little early to say brand awareness.

Guo asked, "Don't we have distant-water fishing here now?" ”

Ye Zhang thought that Guo Shucheng didn't know anything about the situation on Qionghai Island, and said with a smile: "Yes." In the past, the fishing brigade had organized fishing operations more than 100 nautical miles away, but then it still did not go that far. As I just said, it is useless to catch too many fish, if they are not frozen in time, they will soon become stinky and rotten in places like ours, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Guo Zhuocheng laughed in his heart: More than 100 nautical miles is considered ocean fishing? This is just out of the house. Do you think that ocean fishing is just for this little profit, just to catch a few fish? The significance of deep-sea fishing is far more than that, and for the country, it is necessary to support fishermen every day.

However, Guo also knows that in the previous life, the real start of deep-sea fishing on Qionghai Island began in 95. The reason why it started so late is that in addition to the lack of equipment that Ye Zhang said, most fishing boats are too small to be equipped with large freezers, it is useless to catch fish, and the small power of fishing boats cannot withstand big wind and waves, there are many unfavorable factors that hinder ocean fishing.

The first is that the situation in the South China Sea has not been calm, there was the Vietnam War before, France and the United States took turns to occupy the South China Sea, they rampaged in the South China Sea, and the Chinese Navy is not their opponent at all. Although China has always claimed sovereignty over the South China Sea, it is only symbolic, and most of the time it is just a rhetoric, and it has no ability to expel foreign powers from the South China Sea. Coupled with the South Vietnamese army's hatred of the Chinese, if Chinese fishing boats sail far to fish, it will be like entering the ghost gate, and nine deaths will be lived.

Later, North Vietnam took power, and less than two years after peace with China, then China and Vietnam became hostile, and Vietnam wiped its mouth from eating China's aid and completely turned to the Soviet Union, so Chinese fishing boats still did not dare to sail far. In addition, the navy of the Taiwan-Kuomintang-Party has also flaunted its might against mainland fishing boats, and has adopted methods of suppressing and driving away mainland fishing boats, squeezing them near the coast.

The second is that China has not yet matured the technology of deep-sea fishing, and the large tows made of nylon are only heard of here, and the fishermen are fishing by traditional hemp rope fishing, relying on fishing, which is small and cumbersome, and may not be able to recover the cost of going out on a trip. At this time, they did not even know or could not use strong lights to trap fish, and the high-power lamps used to trap fish were simply not available on the mainland, and there was no corresponding generator to drive. As for sonar fishing technology or foreign gadgets, there are basically no sonar on Chinese fishing boats, and sonar can only be placed on warships.

The third reason is that China's weather forecasts for the South China Sea are still blank, and it is impossible to predict the arrival of typhoons and hurricanes. The experience of the old fishermen is limited to the near sea, and they are at a loss for the weather prediction in the open ocean, and even have problems navigating from a distance. It is not cost-effective to let fishermen go deep-sea fishing now, and it can even be said that it is a matter of human life.

However, Guo Zhuocheng knows that in order to safeguard the interests of the South China Sea and to assert sovereignty in the South China Sea, it is necessary for fishing vessels flying the Chinese flag to carry out deep-sea fishing, which is not only an economic benefit, but also a political and military necessity.

In the previous life, according to the strategic guidance of "developing Nansha and fishery first" put forward by the party and the state in 95 years, the local government organized 06 militiamen to go to Nansha for fishing operations on 5 fishing boats, which was also China's first organized development of Nansha's fleet.
