Chapter 106 Trade
Zhang Lin felt that it was time to open up the port and connect with the outside world, and business was a good choice! But what to use?
Zhang Lin picked up the phone on the desk and dialed a number: "Delin, you count the specialties of the harbor and report to me immediately!" ”
"Understood, is there anything else?" Delin asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"No, give me the report as soon as possible!" After saying that, Zhang Lin hung up the phone, looking at the mountains of documents on the table, Zhang Lin instantly felt a headache, picked up a document, flipped through it, and after a while, Zhang Lin closed the document and rubbed his temples, it seems that he is not suitable for this kind of thing, two or three work reports have made Zhang Lin anxious!
Just when Zhang Lin had a headache, the door of the office opened, and Avril came in, curiously lying on the table and looking at Zhang Lin with a sad face: "What's wrong?" Is that uncomfortable? ”
"Nope! It's just ......" Zhang Lin said halfway through when Avril interrupted Zhang Lin!
"I see you're stumped by these documents, hehe, okay, don't embarrass you, get up, leave it to me!" After Avril finished speaking, she pulled Zhang Lin away from the chair: "You sit on the sofa next to you!" ”
Zhang Lin was relieved, Avril began to deal with today's work, the various departments of the harbor will submit a lot of documents every day, they must be dealt with, and the next day they must give back the documents to the various departments, otherwise a lot of work cannot be carried out!
"Knock knock!" Just as Avril was opening the first document, the office door rang: "Come in!" Zhang Lin said!
After Delin pushed the door open and came in, he saw Zhang Lin sitting on the sofa, and immediately walked closer: "Sir, this is the agricultural products and fishery of our harbor, take a look!" ”
Zhang Lin took the document and looked at it carefully, and asked Delin: "Why is the agricultural output so low?" ”
"That's the sir, we have just developed a few pieces of farmland, for the time being, the fishing is because we don't have large fishing boats, and our waters here are inhabited by a large number of precious bluefin tuna, but there are no suitable fishing boats, so the catch is not large!"
"Go down, I'll look for you later!" Zhang Lin waved his hand and motioned for Delin to leave!
"Sir, miss, goodbye!" Delin saluted the two and turned to leave the room!
"Zhang Lin, what do you want all this for?" Avril was a little strange, why Zhang Lin suddenly cared about this!
"I want to open up commercial links between the seaport and the outside world, and all the materials we can get through trade, and it can stimulate the economic prosperity of the seaport, killing two birds with one stone!" Zhang Lin has been thinking about trade for a long time, and now it is being implemented, which is very beneficial to the development of the seaport!
"Yes, that's a good idea, but we don't have merchant ships, so we can't trade! And these products are not produced on a large scale, so we are at a disadvantage when it comes to trade! Avril knows these things very well, Zhang Lin has not systematically studied economics-related things, and his consideration is still not comprehensive!
"I'll take care of all of this, the main thing now is to encourage production, expand our production, and I'll take care of the rest!" Zhang Lin thought for a while: "Wei'er, do you know the price of bluefin tuna?" ”
"Well, when I was in the Reims royal family before, the price of a 200-kilogram tuna was thirty gold coins, and the common people couldn't afford it at all, mainly the nobles and wealthy businessmen were the main consumer class, oh yes, there are also royal families of various countries!" Avril told Zhang Lin almost everything she knew!
Zhang Lin touched his chin, it seems that this bluefin tuna is so popular, but there are a large number of tuna inhabiting the waters around the Storm Strait, which is one of the pillars of trade! However, Zhang Lin has never eaten tuna, and he still has many questions: "Weier, why is tuna so popular?" ”
"The main thing is that it is delicious and nutritious, but the most important thing is that the production is very small, and the supply exceeds the demand, so the price is high! We also have a large number of bluefin tuna in our strait, which is a good way for our harbor to generate income! After listening to Avril's words, Zhang Lin nodded: "I'll find someone to handle this matter, you deal with the matter at hand first, and I'll come back and tell you the result later!" ”
Zhang Lin found Delin, called him out, and began to walk in the harbor: "Delin, what do you think about the fact that we have purchased a batch of large fishing boats to catch tuna?" ”
"Sir, I think this is the key to the development of our seaport, the development of military strength is inseparable from the support of the economy, only by doing a good job in the economy can we support the huge navy!" Derlings paused: "Our current situation simply can't afford to raise a battleship like the Liberty, if it weren't for Smith giving us concessions, our economy would be in crisis, so developing the economy is our top priority at the moment!" ”
"Okay, let's do it, let the people participate, we are responsible for the sale, the people are responsible for the capture, the farmland is the same, the land is distributed to individuals, five to ten percent of the tax is collected, and the rest is owned by the people, so that the economy can be developed, and the people can be benefited, killing two birds with one stone!"
Zhang Lin and Delin chatted and walked to the dock of the harbor, the Liberty floated quietly on the pier, reflecting the sunset, a large number of sailors were busy on the Liberty, repairing the damage left by the Liberty in the war, but the harbor equipment is poor, can only repair some simple damage, more complex need to be completed by the Liberty back to Smith!
"Delin, this time you lead the Liberty back to Smith, and I'll go out to explore the harbor for trade routes!" Zhang Lin looked at the huge bow of the Liberty and said!
"Sir, this is not appropriate, the task of exploring the business line can be handed over to me, and you can take the Liberty back!" Delin was afraid that Zhang Lin would have an accident and persuaded Zhang Lin not to take risks!
"Don't worry, you lead the Liberty back, the Hope stays, I need him, I'll contact Smith later and ask him to send us a few fishing boats, and we'll start the trade plan, but I don't think it will go so well this time!"
Delin looked at Zhang Lin's resolute face, he knew that it was not easy for Zhang Lin to do this: "The chief is worried about the Pirate Alliance!" ”
"Yes, the Pirate Alliance has always been a big trouble for us, our forces want to expand outward, the Pirate Alliance has always been a stumbling block for us, if we don't solve the Pirate Alliance, we will always be trapped in it, to the north, there is a large sea area, but at the end it is a strong country, we are difficult to fight, to the south is the sphere of influence of the Pirate Alliance, if we want to develop with peace of mind, we must solve our neighbor full of instability!" Zhang Lin has always been very clear about the situation, and he also knows what are the factors hindering the development of the seaport!
"Sir, I see!" Delin sighed: "For us, this is indeed in a disadvantageous position, and it is dangerous!" ”
