Chapter 191: Economic Issues

Wang Yi felt a little strange about these Tanegashima wealthy families who came to meet him today, after all, they were all Japanese, although they had also begun to speak Chinese in recent years, and even their clothes were similar to those in the Northeast. But the strange accent made it a little difficult for him to get used to. Later, I thought about it, what did I think so much for? Over the years, Wang Yi has already been overjoyed and angry. So the people present didn't see his abnormality, and everyone talked and laughed. By the way, Wang Yi also learned about Tanegashima and the shape of the nearby sea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming, Wang is very grateful."

"Chairman, you're welcome."

Since the establishment of the Northeast Autonomous Region government, Wang Yi has retreated into the background, living a life similar to that of a hermit, rarely appearing in the media and in public except for the affairs of the big business group. But this does not mean that Wang Yi's control over the entire Northeast has decreased, his name has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the same is true of Dashang Group.

"Since joining the Tohoku Autonomous Region, the people of Tanegashima have been living a good life. There is no tax on farming, and the peasants have spare money in their hands, and we merchants have a better life. The only problem now is that we have few people in Tanegashima, so the freight is not very convenient, and large merchants are reluctant to come. I wonder if the chairman can help solve it? An old and thin old man said.

At this time, the mayor of Nanchong introduced with a smile: "Chairman, this is the representative of our Nanchong City, Mr. Gong Fang. ”

Wang Yi and Gong Tian nodded a little, after all, the age of the people was there, and it was not good to be too arrogant and rude. But what he didn't understand was that this old man was really a little strange, his accent was Japanese, but how could he be called Miyakata. Later, I asked the mayor of Nanzhong to understand that his real name was Miyata Fangyun, and after he returned to the Northeast, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he gave himself a Chinese name.

"I understand what the old man meant, Tanegashima is very important to our Tohoku Autonomous Region. There should be more garrisons arriving before next year, when I will arrange a new route from Arthur, through Korea, to Jingju Island, to Tanegashima, and then to the Ryukyu Islands. In addition, we will also increase the intensity of air transportation, and I believe that the problem of freight will be solved soon. ”

Everyone present nodded with satisfaction, it is strange to say that the trust of the people in the Northeast in Wang Yi has reached a blind level, as long as Wang Yi is scared of the ticket, the promise will definitely be fulfilled. Now Wang Yi doesn't even dare to make jokes casually, for fear of tarnishing his prestige as a matter of what he says.

"But there's one more thing to say here."

Everyone else had a deferential expression, and the room was very quiet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a saying in our Qing Dynasty, which is called planting a plane tree to attract a golden phoenix. In the mouths of our traders, what is the sycamore tree? It's a good product that you can get your hands on. It would not be realistic for you to rely solely on our own shipping to sustain Tanegashima for their livelihoods. But if Tanegashima can find amazing products, it won't be you who come to me to open up new routes. Other big conglomerates will come to the door on their own. ”

Wang Yi said this, it is very simple, everyone understands the truth, but the problem is easier to know than to do. Who wouldn't be able to talk in the vernacular, but if you really want to do it, everyone present has no confidence.

Or that palace official, stood up at this time, and said with a slight salute: "Can the chairman show us the way?" ”

He didn't do this kind of thing, like She Fatzi often came to him to ask for ideas, of course, Wang Yi would not respond to requests, but on this occasion today, he naturally didn't want to say anything to refuse.

"I wonder what the island has to offer?"

"Wheat, upland rice, sweet potato......"

Hearing this, Wang Yi's brows furrowed, and the others also understood how much property there could be on such an island. Island...... Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and said with a smile: "Don't limit your thoughts to this island!" ”

"What does the chairman mean?"

"Our island is surrounded by endless sea! There are countless treasures waiting to be discovered. ”

Wang Yi's eyes carried a kind of Xiyi light, which made people can't help but be immersed in it and can't extricate themselves. And his tone of voice makes the listener have an impulse that can be convincing!

"Recently, we are trying to launch several kinds of canned seafood, but unfortunately we have not been able to find a suitable location to build a factory......

When the surrounding group of people heard Wang Yi's statement, they became excited on the spot, and the people of Tanegashima, who were originally unable to find suitable products for export, were like being stimulated, and they were gearing up one by one, and they had a very strong posture to do a lot of work. Jokes, following the big business, I haven't heard of a precedent for losing money!

"Chairman, I, Kimberlin, am willing to invest in your cannery!"

As soon as Wang Yi's last words fell, this Kimberlin began to show his determination, and he had no hesitation in investing in the cannery. The people around him looked at him and said that this thing was too cunning, and the others hurriedly followed suit. In fact, Wang Yi also understands that don't look at these people in front of him who claim to be the rich people of Tanegashima, but if they really want to invest in a cannery alone, I am afraid that the scale of capital is not something they can afford, so it is inevitable that the company will implement a joint-stock system.

The merchants were busy making money, but there were not only wealthy businessmen but also local officials, who were thinking about something else. Now everyone in the Northeast knows that farming is not as good as doing business. Land is not very valuable in the Northeast, after all, the population of the Northeast is still too small for the growing territory. The land that really has a lot of value is just the heart of some big cities. As for the periphery of the city, land prices have not changed much. Because of Wang Yi's knowledge of the financial industry and his deep dislike of land finance in his previous life, a large number of public rental housing and affordable housing were built around the city. It is used to solve the housing shortage caused by the influx of rural people into cities.

Although the population of Tanegashima has begun to increase in recent years, there are more than 2,000 immigrants in the true sense of the word, except for the more than 2,000 people from the Tohoku after the initial occupation. The main reason for the increase in population in recent years is actually the increase in the number of Tanegashima garrisons.

Tanegashima also has elementary, junior and high schools, but most of the students who study well go to big cities to make a living after graduating from university. Even some junior high and high school students enter technical schools with the goal of leaving Tanegashima and studying hard. Unless there are some old people, or real hermits, who like to stay on a small island that is not very popular at a young age. Otherwise, when you are old, when you are dying, you look back on your life, but you find that you have been confined to such a small island in the depths of the western Pacific Ocean all your life. At that time, I'm afraid it's really too late to regret it.

There are many such islands in the territory of the Northeast. Not every one of them will come up with a policy to come to the rescue, but Tanegashima's geographical location is crucial to curbing the southward expansion of Japanese power. Therefore, Tanegashima's economy must not be wasted, and it must be self-sufficient. Of course, it is unrealistic to just take the official test to make offerings. Therefore, Tanegashima officials' greatest hope at present is that someone can lead the economic development of Tanegashima.

Wang Yi's idea of a canning factory may not sound like much at first, but when you think about it carefully, it is completely a huge industrial chain. Harvesting and farming of seafood requires a large number of manpower. The manufacture and maintenance of fishing boats requires a large number of manpower. Of course, the canneries also need manpower, so it is easy to solve the employment problem of Tanegashima, which has a small population. What's more, Tanegashima has established a relationship with the Dashang Group, coupled with the preferential policies provided by the Northeast Autonomous Region for the economic development of the outer islands, as long as the marketing work is done well, unless there is a major natural disaster, the canning factory will be a sure win.

Because of this good psychological expectation, the atmosphere in the restaurant gradually became warmer, pushing the cups and changing the lamps, and even the old man of the palace, who had been a little sad after seeing Wang Yi, had a kind look on his face.

After the banquet, the wealthy merchants gradually took their leave, and after a while, only a few military representatives from Tanegashima and high-ranking government officials remained in the restaurant. They stayed, on the one hand, to report on their work, and on the other hand, to talk about the current situation.

Wang Yi and these people talked until about nine o'clock in the evening before they said goodbye and left.

The night has enveloped the island, and it is pitch black all around, and the regular sound of the waves does not make people feel noisy, but has a quiet temperament. Han Xiujing was reading a book next to her, while Lim Tae-hee was chatting with Wang Yi.

Chu Yuan walked in at this time and said, "Captain, the commander of the German airship captured today, I hope to meet you." ”

"What's his name?"

"Ferdinand von Zeppelin, in his forties, commander of the Zeppelin."

"It's really him!" Wang Yi said with a smile. "Since this Zeppelin wants to meet me, then I will give him this face, and bring him to see me tomorrow."
