Chapter 143: What You See on a Passenger Ship (I)

Sa Zhenbing sat on the passenger ship in Taiwan, and he saw that the passenger ship in Taiwan was actually very large, the size of seven or eight hundred people at a time. And this makes Sa Zhenbing feel incredible, because there are relatively few passenger ships of this size in the world. After all, this era is not like more than twenty years later, and the Titanic will be able to accommodate thousands of people. And this passenger liner with hundreds of people seems to be a world-class thing. And Sa Zhenbing was assigned to the first-class cabin by Zhou Chen, who was sent to the mainland by Wang Guorui to be responsible for recruiting sailors, and enjoyed the best treatment.

"Where did you buy this liner?" Sa Zhenbing asked the ordinary waiter.

And the waiter immediately said: "Hello, this is the property of our Governor Wang of Taiwan, called Taiwan Shipping Company." And this ship was purchased by our Taiwan shipping company and Taiwan Shipbuilding Company, another industry of Lord Wang, but the two companies are independent accounting accounts, so they also need real money to buy. ”

"Oh? You said that such a big ship was made by Lord Wang's industry? Where is the Taiwanese company? Sa Zhenbing asked.

"I don't know about this, I'm just a small waiter, not a high-level one." The waiter said.

Sa Zhenbing looked at this passenger ship with a displacement of at least seven or eight thousand tons, and he was also very surprised. Because such a large passenger ship should not be able to be manufactured by China's current shipyard. After all, such a large ship, even if it is only a civilian ship, it is not easy to manufacture. In many cases, civilian ships and military ships are just a line between them. It is not surprising that many civilian ships can also be changed into military ships during wars, and the Beiyang Naval Division also had such a situation back then.

And being able to manufacture such a large civilian ship shows that Taiwan's shipbuilding level is still good. The most surprising thing for Sa Zhenbing is that this Taiwan has just left less than half a year after the Japanese, but it was able to build such a large ship. The level of shipbuilding in Taiwan is really unpredictable. As a navy, of course, he knows ships very well, and he naturally knows that it is almost impossible to build a ship in a few months, but Taiwan has really done it, so what did they rely on to build it?

And Sa Zhenbing couldn't imagine that Wang Guorui used the Red Police Dock to make zuò. And this ordinary passenger liner is very cheap to build. He just charged the cost price of steel, he didn't look like a warship, there was no additional cost. Therefore, the cost of shipbuilding is about 15 to 20 percent of the cost of shipbuilding for other passenger ships, which is very low. And Wang Guorui is not averse to doing some business now, such as civilian ships. During this time, Taiwan's so-called shipbuilding company was established, and this shipbuilding company is no different from a leather bag company to be precise.

These companies are actually salesmen, and then they go around the world to sell this civilian vessel. And the salesman didn't know where the shipyard was, they felt that the ship appeared out of thin air, and then sold it to different customers. And during this time, there was not much to sell for these ships. They are mainly sold internally, such as Wang Guorui's Taiwanese shipping company, which is a route between Taiwan and Fujian.

At present, the mainland and Taiwan are not able to block each other, so they can still come with each other. During this time, Wang Guorui also continued to immigrate to Taiwan, and then prepared for some industrial development. In the future, Taiwan will need a large number of workers, so naturally it will have to find a way from people from other places. Taiwan has a population of more than 2 million, and these people are not enough to stuff their teeth! Therefore, a large number of immigrants must be immigrated, and the immigration conditions given by Wang Guorui are still good. So a lot of people who don't have land have also come.

"Miss, can I go somewhere else?" Sa Zhenbing asked.

"Yes. The captain has already said that you are a distinguished guest, you can go anywhere to see! This ship is also available for you to come and see if you want. The service lady said.

Wang Guorui has a very good attitude in order to recruit those Beiyang sailors. And Wang Guorui wants to show these examples of himself, so that those people in the Beiyang Navy Division can see Taiwan's strength. In this way, they will abandon the Manchus and take refuge in them. Whether you can attract talents to take refuge mainly depends on your own strength, and the stronger your own strength, there will be more and more talents to take refuge, so that you can be stronger. This is also a virtuous circle, and Wang Guorui hopes to show Taiwan's strength. Let those Beiyang sailors or even more people understand Taiwan's strength, so that they can realize that there is a future for Taiwan.

Sa Zhenbing left the first-class cabin, and then came to the ordinary cabin, and then actually saw some poorly dressed clothes.

"This is a warehouse, is there no one living there?" Sa Zhenbing asked.

The service lady immediately explained: "They are immigrants from the mainland, and we in Taiwan have begun to open up immigration to the mainland, and then many people who can't live in the mainland are also willing to come to Taiwan to try their luck." And if they want land, we in Taiwan can rent some land to them. However, it is mainly in the mountains, and some cash crops can be grown on the mountains, such as some fruits and other things, and it is not mainly grain. In the future, we in Taiwan need more industrial raw materials, so naturally we should focus on cash crops. ”

"And if you want to be a worker, then we can have someone to train them in vocational skills, and then teach them a steady stream of various livelihood skills, and then work in the factory in the future. And this is the lowest warehouse, and the reason why they live here is because it is cheap and cheap. After all, everyone has to reflect their own added value, if there is no value, then they can only be at the bottom of the society, they can only live in this ordinary warehouse. And only those who can afford to spend money, or who want to be you, our Taiwanese guests, can live in a relatively better cabin. ”

Sa Zhenbing can also understand that in this era, it is about fairness. And even in later generations, it is the people who pay more money to enjoy better services, and these immigrants do not pay much money, mainly because Taiwan comes to help pay the immigration fees, so naturally they are not qualified to ask for any too good cabins. In fact, it is already very good to be able to live in the warehouse in a certain way. Sa Zhenbing is different, he lives in the first class, because he came to inspect Taiwan instead of the bigwigs of the Beiyang Naval Division.

"How many people have you immigrated?" Sa Zhenbing asked.

"In the past few months, more than 200,000 people have come to Taiwan from the mainland, and they will gradually learn various skills and then join the construction of Taiwan. At present, Taiwan lacks all kinds of talents, and all kinds of workers are hungry for recruitment. Even if you don't have work experience, you can be trained by our engineers in Taiwan, and then learn various skills and join the construction team. ”

"Two hundred thousand? There must be more and more in the future, so this is really amazing! ”

Sa Zhenbing can also imagine that more than 200,000 people have come to Taiwan in batches, and Taiwan has become a big construction site. And according to what this service lady said, Taiwan is already developing rapidly, and they are ready to train skilled workers. As a navy, Sa Zhenbing is also very knowledgeable about industry, and of course he knows that the reason why the British are so powerful is because they have the most powerful navy. However, what supports their strong navy is their world's largest industrial base, so the industrial base is the real foundation that makes a country strong.

And Taiwan is cultivating a large number of skilled workers, and it is obvious that they are also consolidating their own industrial base. Once the industrial base is sufficient, it can be expanded at any time. At that time, the British spent hundreds of years to complete the original capital accumulation, and this Taiwan did not know how to get so much money. And funding is secondary, where is there so much talent? The training of 200,000 skilled workers is a huge amount of human resources, how can Taiwan get so many trained teachers?

"Taiwan, it's really ambitious! It seems that Governor Wang Guorui has received strong support from foreigners, but which country will they be? Sa Zhenbing thought.

Sa Zhenbing definitely didn't believe that Wang Guorui made this by himself, after all, such a huge resource was not something that Wang Guorui could take out by himself. Especially those talent resources, which are extremely scarce, how can they be taken out casually. Without the strong support of other countries, it would be impossible for Wang Guorui to get so many things on his own, which is also the idea of ordinary people. Ordinary people don't know anything like a Red Police base, so they naturally think that other countries are intervening, otherwise it would be impossible to get so many things.

Sa Zhenbing really can't imagine how ambitious Taiwan will be in the future. Because it can have such a strong strength, 200,000 skilled workers, it can support a relatively large industrial system. As long as there is this industrial system, it is completely possible to continue to open up and continue to loot more things. And Sa Zhenbing can also imagine that Taiwan's next ambitions are definitely not small. And Sa Zhenbing felt a little excited when he thought about it, because it would be a great feat if he could join in!

When Sa Zhenbing walked to the power room of the passenger ship, it turned out that there was a dull-looking man handling the engine here, and then he took the initiative to go over and say hello. (To be continued......)
