Chapter 2359 The Status Quo of Sanya ([-])
When Xu Yanliang asked about the house, Tang Menglong waved his hand disapprovingly:

"There are ready-made houses-it's not difficult to build them for you now. We have architects here." He walked to the window and pointed to a three-story building in the northeast direction of the square.

"What do you think of that building?"

Following his finger pointing, it is a neoclassical three-story brick and wood structure building, the outer wall is the original color of red brick, and there are green vines climbing on the wall, which looks literary and fresh.

Xu Yanliang couldn't believe it - he had seen enough of Lingao's Bauhaus-style buildings.How can there be such a beautiful and elegant house.Hesitantly said: "This one?"

"That's right, it's the three-story brick building, isn't it beautiful?"

"Damn, you're generous enough!"

"This was designed by Zhang Xingpei. It was originally the Sanya Library." Tang Menglong said regretfully, "It's been done, but now there is no book in it. It is used as a dormitory for some naturalized cadres. To be honest, it is a waste. Simply It is vacated for your use."

Xu Yanliang felt somewhat flattered: "You are such a generous gift!"

"Where, where, this is also to revitalize fixed assets. Otherwise, this good house will be vacant, and the maintenance fee alone will cost a lot of money every year,"

Xu Yanliang thought in his mind that there are currently about five or sixty people in the headquarters, and after the expansion, there will be at most a hundred or so people. This building is enough for office work.He immediately thought of another problem. The Southeast Asian company's business station is in Hexi District. If the staff of the headquarters live in Hexi, they have to spend time commuting every day.

"Can the dormitory handle it?"

"Yes." Tang Menglong did not hesitate, "I have plenty of houses here, and even the problem of eating is easy to solve - just go to the cafeteria to hire a partner. If you want to improve the food, you have to go to Hexi - there are quite a lot of restaurants there."

Xu Yanliang finalized the relevant relocation matters with Tang Menglong one by one.Tang Menglong patted his chest on almost everything, expressing his "full support".

Xu Yanliang naturally wanted to reciprocate, and immediately revealed to him that Nanyang Company was about to start raising funds, implying that the original shares of the company could be obtained on preferential terms.

"Well, since the policy allows, I will definitely participate in a few shares." Tang Menglong is not shy, "But to be honest, it would be better if you can bring industry and commerce here."

It seems that Mayor Tang still has some ideas.Xu Yanliang thought for a while and said, "It's too early to say what we can do. How about this, tell me about the basic situation in Sanya, and we will add up."

"Sanya still has some foundations." Tang Menglong, "The problem now is that there are no new growth points. Since Wang Gong was transferred and I took office, the Senate has not increased new investment in fixed assets here. Projects. There are only some investment projects for transformation and production increase. The number is not small, but the growth is still too slow relying on these few state-owned enterprises.”

There is another key issue that he did not mention, that is, the contribution of these state-owned enterprises to Sanya is very small.In the case of Tiandu Mining Bureau, the largest local enterprise, it stands to reason that a town formed by tens of thousands of workers has considerable consumption power.However, more than half of Tiandu's laborers are slaves from Southeast Asia. Apart from the most basic food and clothing, there is no consumption power.Most of the other workers are also single -- no wives, no children.After get off work, most of them go back to the dormitory after having a full meal in the cafeteria.The connection with Sanya is that the canteen purchases locally produced vegetables, salt, seafood and a small amount of daily necessities.The biggest consumables: food and clothing are shipped from Lingao.

Such a large basic population plate hardly participates in Sanya's economic cycle.

"...You know what kind of style the old state-owned enterprises are? Yes, Tiandu Mining Bureau is like that." Tang Menglong said.

"Let's not talk about other things, food and cloth should not be. You can't import directly here, but you have to ship it from Lingao? Foreigners don't want to make this kind of money?" Xu Yanliang was puzzled.

"Of course foreigners are willing. The problem is that foreigners have to buy food and cloth after selling them. The goods they want: sugar, silk, handicrafts, medicinal materials... I don't produce them here, so they have to be shipped from other places. Either We pay real money—there’s a limit.”

This is indeed a problem, Xu Yanliang thought, but it is not easy to solve.For example, sugar and silk are both local products. Even if you want to develop related industries in Sanya, you need a lot of investment.It is also not economical in terms of cost.This cannot be solved by Nanyang Company, and requires the coordination of the Planning Institute and other departments.

But he didn't speak, and continued to listen to Tang Menglong.

"Tiandu doesn't have any suitable export products. All its output is ore, and even the slag left over from the beneficiation is shipped out. So what it produces has nothing to do with Sanya, it is a completely independent economy." Tang Menglong complained, "I once thought about whether I could sell the house to the miners, or at least rent some apartments to them for a long time. But the miners have dormitories, and it is difficult for them to escape to their wives to organize a family. It is not a problem to buy or rent a house. interest."

The second largest industry in Sanya is the coconut processing industry.

There are many natural coconut forest resources around Sanya, but they are far from the scale of plantations.Mainly relying on acquisitions-this is also a sideline business for many local people and nearby Li people.Because Australians buy coconuts, not only in Sanya, but also in Qiongnan, where coconuts are produced, there are buyers who buy coconuts locally and then sell them to Sanya.It is currently the most successful industry in Sanya.

Coconuts are full of treasures. The Senate mainly uses coconuts to produce coconut water and dried coconuts. Coconut water, as a special beverage in Sanya, is bottled and sterilized locally, and then shipped to Lingao and other places by refrigerated ships refrigerated by natural ice. It is also a very high-end "Australian high-end drink" in Guangzhou.Dried coconut is mainly used to extract oil.The coconut palm fiber extracted from the coconut shell is used to make rope, and the coconut flower can also be used to make wine during the flowering season.

This industry produces almost no waste, and can achieve full utilization of coconuts, with extremely high economic benefits.It is the most profitable industrial enterprise in Sanya.It is also the second largest local employment enterprise after Tiandu Mineral Bureau.Absorbed a large number of local labor force.

"Sanya Coconut Company is the mainstay of our economy here." Tang Menglong said, "It can be said that Sanya's ability to maintain this situation is largely due to its contribution."

"Where does this company sell its coconut products?"

"Almost all of them have been shipped to Lingao." Tang Menglong said, "Some of them have been shipped to Wenchang. There are also coconut processing companies there. We don't produce coconut oil here. We only process it into dried coconut, and then transport it to Wenchang for oil extraction. . And the coconut coat too."

"Primary processing."

"That's right, it's primary processing."

There are actually only two end products that coconut companies can sell directly: coconut water and arrack.

Needless to say, Arak is the No. 1 local product exported from Sanya, and it is very popular among European merchants.However, the number of flowers is limited, the winemaking season is very short, and the production cannot increase.

"...In fact, coconut trees can also produce palm sugar. But we don't have plantations here, and collecting the sap is too troublesome. We haven't done it on a large scale—and European businessmen are probably most interested in sucrose, even if we spend a lot of time on it. It seems that people are not necessarily interested.”

"It's not possible to grow this industry just by purchasing coconuts." Xu Yanliang said, "We still need to build plantations."

"Planting is easier said than done. The Council of Agriculture actually doesn't know anything about it." Tang Menglong said, "I told Wu Nanhai when I returned to Lingao, and he yelled out 'we'll study' a few times. There is no more. Later I found Fa Shilu, and he said that the Agricultural Committee does not have a professional hot work. Except for some book knowledge at the university, I can only rely on the materials in the big library.”

"No wonder things like quinine and rubber can't be dealt with..."

"There is a big difference between reading a book and actually doing it. I understand that too. Besides, even if everything goes well, the plantation is not ten or eight years old, and there is no way to pick it."

The third industry is fish-salt.The reason why they are put together is that the salt industry in Sanya mainly serves the fishing industry.Departing from Sanya, the rich Xisha-Nansha sea area has always been a traditional fishing ground for Chinese fishermen. Under the management of the Senate, fishermen must register their fishing in Sanya every year before the fish season. After receiving the fishing flag, they will go south with the escort of the coast guard. fishing operations.

Because traditional fishermen do not have refrigeration conditions, they often need a lot of salt for preservation.Therefore, the consumption of salt is very large.In order to obtain protein, the Senate not only sold table salt on credit with generous terms, but also sent refrigerated ships to buy fresh fish on the spot, and transported them back to Sanya to process various fish and meat products.

"The sales of fishery tax and table salt are considerable, but table salt is a monopoly product, and like Tiandu's mine, it doesn't matter to me no matter how much it sells. After all, the fishery tax is currently returned to the city government in full—if not I really can’t keep up with the money.”

"Now the wood processing industry can be regarded as good. The Dutch and the British often ship logs. It probably costs nothing to them, and they can make money by pulling them there. If they can find enough sources in Sanya, they should ship more. wood from here."

In addition, there are some sporadic industries and businesses in Sanya, the larger ones are ship repairing, fishing boat manufacturing, fishing gear and hardware.In order to avoid tax, many leather bag companies opened in Sanya also provide a considerable amount of tax and consumption.

"This can be considered an industry." Tang Menglong laughed.

"Well, we chatted before Old Wang went to Guangzhou, and he said that this loophole will be plugged sooner or later. Of course, it won't be completely blocked, and they still need to be given some space."
