Chapter 1281 Preaching Activities

Liu Shang has always admired Haihan's ability in business operations. He knew that these people would always find a way to sell tofu at the price of meat. The salt business was probably just another area where this extraordinary ability was reflected.

Luo Shengdong picked up the samples and showed them to Yu Xiaobao, while explaining the production and sales status of these products. Liu Shang stood not far away and listened with his ears, but he could basically hear everything clearly, and he couldn't help but feel strange again.

The scale of Haihan's salt trade was surprising.

At present, tens of thousands of kilograms of salt are sold to foreign countries from here every day. In the ranking of financial and tax payments by administrative cities and counties to the Ministry of Finance last year, Yinggehai County ranked third, second only to Sanya.

City and Haikou City, and even surpassed Danzhou City, which shows the strong profitability of this place.

Ironically, most of the residents of Yinggehai County are salt households who moved from various places along the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty. Since Haihan salt has gradually occupied the salt market in these areas in recent years, the local salt farms have become unprofitable.

These salt farms have closed down one after another. For generations, these salt farmers have made a living by making salt, and it is not easy to switch to other industries. Haihan launched immigration recruitment activities in these salt farms in a timely manner, recruiting unemployed salt farmers in batches.

Come to Hainan Island to resume their old business. With a little training, these skilled workers will be able to operate Haihan's improved seawater salt production process. This is one of the main reasons why the Yinggehai Salt Farm can develop to its current scale in just a few years.

one.

Liu Shang felt a little speechless after listening to Luo Shengdong's introduction. Haihan relied on the cheap salt produced on a large scale to defeat the government-run salt farms in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and then recruited unemployed salt farmers to his side to further expand the scale of production. In the long run,

, the lifeline of the salt industry in the southeastern region of the Ming Dynasty will gradually be controlled by them, without even a chance to stand up.

If Liu Shang had a higher perspective, he would have discovered that a similar situation is not limited to the salt production industry. Many other technical types of work are also in this process. A large number of technicians and craftsmen with professional skills have been expelled from overseas.

The Han Dynasty was recruited to Hainan Island through various methods, and the corresponding production areas of the Ming Dynasty were constantly being weakened without most people noticing.

The main purpose of Luo Shengdong's introduction was to highlight the local industrial development since he took office, and he also listed a large number of figures to highlight his political achievements - he knew very well that what Haihan's senior management valued most was various data, and he was also early on this.

Be prepared.

After going through the quality inspection process, Luo Shengdong took everyone out to visit the production site, and also gave everyone a general introduction to the local salt production process. Liu Shang did not explain the production processes such as brine production, crystallization, and purification in the salt factory.

He is not very interested. He is more concerned about the errands that will be arranged for him at this stop. Because before setting off in the morning, Yu Xiaobao has told him that there may be a preaching activity arranged in Yinggehai County today, and he is also

Taking advantage of the visit, I recalled the manuscript I had memorized before.

The visit to the salt fields lasted until noon. After visiting three salt fields, Luo Shengdong took everyone back to the county seat. However, Yinggehai County is different from Yacheng. There is no traditional Chinese-style city wall on the outside.

It is an open town. There are almost no military facilities in the local area. In Liu Shang's view, it is an undefended city. But this arrangement seems to be reasonable. The channel in and out of Yinggehai is extremely narrow, and within the harbor

Except for a small section of the coastline where piers are built, the rest of the coastline is almost entirely covered with salt fields.

Except for a few forts built next to the entry and exit channels a few years ago, there are basically no other military facilities in the local area, and there is only one company of garrison troops. Local security is mainly maintained by the police and militia. However,

The local life is prosperous, and Haihan has cleaned up the nearby waters in recent years, so there is actually no big hidden danger in terms of safety.

Needless to say, the sumptuousness of the luncheon was needless to say, but since there were other business matters to be done in the afternoon, Luo Shengdong did not invite everyone to drink. After lunch, Luo Shengdong took everyone to a place outside the county town that had been set up in advance.

The venue is a venue specially prepared for the inspection team to hold promotional activities.

Liu Shang was arranged to be second in line to give a speech, just behind Xiaobao. Even though he had been performing in teahouses for the past month, he was still a little nervous when encountering such a formal official occasion. While he was still there,

There was no opening ceremony, so I took the time to go through the manuscript again.

Not long after, the audience began to arrive one after another. At least half of them were salt merchants, and the other half were made up of local shipyard operators, salt farm cadres and mass representatives. The total number was only sixty or seventy people, and all Luo Shengdong came in advance.

The list was drawn up and the notice came. Liu Shang calmed down a little when he saw that there were not too many people.

Seeing that the audience was almost seated, Yu Xiaobao and Luo Shengdong walked to the front together, and Luo Shengdong introduced the identity of Yu Xiaobao and his party to the audience and the purpose of coming here to preach. Anyone who has heard of Yu Xiaobao's name

Everyone immediately took the lead in applauding, hoping to leave a good impression on this rising star in Haihan's officialdom. Anyone who didn't know him should quickly ask each other about his background.

In fact, it is very simple to introduce Yu Xiaobao's status. The position of chief youth league is enough. Not only Haihan citizens, but also foreign businessmen who often come to Hainan Island also know the nature of Haihan Youth League.

It is equivalent to a reserve team of young officials, and the officials who manage this reserve team have a high status and great influence. It is difficult for such big figures to have the opportunity to come into contact with them, and everyone naturally fights against them.

I was energetic enough to listen to the next lecture.

Yu Xiaobao's speech actually did not have too specific content. It mainly conveyed to the audience some of the recent major policies of the Executive Committee, such as further increasing the development of agricultural projects in Hainan Island and the South China Sea colonies, increasing maritime transport capacity, and strengthening cooperation with neighboring countries.

Maritime security cooperation, etc. These issues do not have much practical significance for people who are not so politically sensitive, but those who are more flexible can understand some of Haihan's latest political trends.

Whether there are any business opportunities that can be exploited is a matter for the beholder.

After Yu Xiaobao finished speaking, it was finally Liu Shang's turn to perform. When things came to an end, Liu Shang was no longer so nervous. The audience present now actually looked not much different from the tea guests in Xinlong Teahouse.

It's just that the book that I want to talk about now has been changed. Although the content of this book is a bit boring, Liu Shang believes that he should be able to finish the content relatively smoothly.

Liu Shang went up to the podium, clasped his fists towards the audience and said: "I have just listened to Director Yu's speech. I think you will all feel that it has benefited a lot. I would like to give some more detailed explanations on the theme that Director Yu just talked about."

Explanation, please listen carefully."

Liu Shang was so used to it that after he finished speaking, he almost reached out to touch the non-existent Xingmu, but he reacted in time, cleared his throat and started talking. There are many things in the manuscript that Yu Xiaobao handed him.

The contents are all guiding opinions for business operators, and they can be said to be very detailed and specific. They just don’t clearly explain where to do business to make money. But for businessmen with a certain economic acumen,

This level of prompting is enough for them to understand the spirit.

This manuscript does not require Liu Shang to interpret it in the form of a storyteller, and he does not have to work hard and add drama to himself. However, when he preaches with his basic storyteller skills, his words will naturally be smoother than those of untrained people.

Duo. Yu Xiaobao was sitting in the first row of the audience watching his performance. He was secretly glad that he was lucky enough to temporarily choose someone to take his place. This replacement seemed to be a little more powerful than the original candidate, and the entire speech process was

The unscripted version shows that this person's brain is really good. He is in the top position on this errand, so there is no need to worry about anything going wrong in the next few stops.

Liu Shang didn't know that Yu Xiaobao had already given him such a high evaluation in his heart. He just wanted to try his best to complete this task properly and not give Yu Xiaobao or Zhang Qianzhi a chance to find fault.

It took Liu Shang about two sticks of incense to finish the manuscript. He bowed slightly to the audience and then withdrew. He felt his mouth was dry for the first time in a long time, and he was secretly worried about whether the effect of his speech could reach the level of Haihan people.

Requirement. When he finished speaking, there was not as warm applause as when Yu Xiaobao finished speaking, but this is understandable. After all, the identity of this "publicity officer" is like a passerby compared to Yu Xiaobao. If the audience reacted enthusiastically

, but it will look very strange.

While he was feeling uneasy, he vaguely felt eyes watching him from beside him. When he looked sideways, it was Yu Xiaobao who nodded slightly towards him to show his affirmation. Only then did he feel relieved. Look.

It seems that my boss is quite satisfied with my performance just now, so I don't have to worry about being dismissed midway due to unsatisfactory performance.

But in this case, I am afraid that this errand will have to follow Yu Xiaobao around Hainan Island before returning to Sanya. With the current progress, it will take at least about half a month to complete this circle. I can only pray that Liao Yuan is in Sanya.

Don't go crazy waiting for yourself to show up. If something happens to Liao Yuan, then when you return to Sanya, you may be thrown directly into jail.

Despite such a big risk, Liu Shang believes that this trip is still worth trying. Although he has only made two stops so far, the level of information he has come into contact with is far beyond what ordinary latent identities can achieve, and for the emerging regime of Haihan

This information also builds a more comprehensive and in-depth image. Liu Shang believes that if he can complete this errand, he will not only have the opportunity to be appreciated by Haihan senior officials, but the value of the information collected will be far greater than in the past.

What we have gained in a few years. Even if the superiors arrange for ten or hundreds of people to lurk in Hainan Island, they may not be able to achieve as much as the harvest at hand.

Liu Shang was thinking about his own concerns, but the lecture activity on the stage did not end there. In addition to the economic and trade topics he lectured on, there were also security, culture, education, and medical and health topics that had dedicated personnel responsible for preaching. Yu Xiaobao and his party

After the lecture, Luo Shengdong came to the stage again and expressed his loyalty in front of everyone, saying that he would follow the instructions of the executive committee and continue to properly handle the government affairs of Yinggehai County.

After the speech was over, Luo Shengdong announced that the meeting was adjourned, but many people in the audience stayed. Some people were planning to ask questions that they were interested in during the lecture, while others were planning to get acquainted in the name of asking questions.

Yu Xiaobao and others. So Yu Xiaobao held a small seminar on the spot. Once the chat box was opened, they couldn't stop it. Everyone continued to discuss it in the open-air venue until nightfall. If it weren't for Luo Shengdong

Having ended the discussion out loud, it is estimated that everyone has the momentum to continue talking.

Among the people present, there were many wealthy salt merchants, all of whom were vying to entertain Yu Xiaobao and his party for dinner. However, in the end, no one could win over Luo Shengdong, because the inspection team would leave Yingge early tomorrow morning.

The sea, so Luo Shengdong's reason is also very good - the meal at noon is to catch the wind, and the meal at night is to practice it.

As expected, Yu Xiaobao praised Liu Shang's performance during the dinner and said that he would continue to leave the publicity work for the next few stops to him. Liu Shang was overjoyed and quickly thanked Yu Xiaobao.

Early the next morning, Luo Shengdong rushed to the guest house in advance and sent everyone to the dock to board the ship. His attitude was quite correct. Yu Xiaobao had already figured out his request, and when they parted, he said that after returning to Sanya

, will personally explain the situation to Tao Donglai and Bai Kesi, and submit an application for them to expand the use of steam engines in the Yinggehai Salt Field.

Because we set off earlier, we didn’t encounter traffic jams at the channel entering and exiting the harbor when we left Yinggehai. There is about fifty nautical miles from the Yinggehai Salt Field to the next destination, Changhua County. For this ship

The ship took most of the day to arrive, but Liu Shang was worried that he would bump into Zhang Qianzhi while wandering around the ship, so he simply locked himself in the cabin and slept hard, only leaving the cabin at noon to eat something.

thing.

However, Liu Shang's worries are a bit unnecessary. Zhang Qianzhi doesn't have that much energy to focus on him. The Ministry of Security has arranged agencies and manpower in each county. He also had contact with local security personnel during previous visits.

.Although these places are not under his jurisdiction, with his status and authority, he can still intervene in the local security affairs.

Haihan's security work is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Although the security department has a poor reputation externally, the operation of this department has never stopped. Haihan has mastered many black technologies that are ahead of the entire era, and with some of these advanced technologies

Only in order to establish a country in the South China Sea, there are many forces from the outside world that covet this, and these are all potential opponents of the Ministry of Security. However, Zhang Qianzhi probably could not have imagined that there would be spies lurking in with him at this time.

On a boat.
