Chapter 203 Coach Anxi’s Ambition

The Executive Committee has always been very optimistic about the development prospects of the salt farm. It developed this as an independent construction project at the beginning of its establishment. Even when it sent an inspection team to explore the navigation route of Black Earth Port, it did not forget to inspect the salt farm located in

The Yinggehai Saltworks area in the southwest corner of Hainan Island is preparing for future large-scale development.

However, even if the executive committee had a plan in advance, it did not expect that the private salt business would be promoted so quickly. In the original plan, the salt sales strategy for the mainland was not supposed to be implemented until 1628. Unexpectedly, the salt sales strategy to the mainland was opened.

The sales channels are so smooth, a full four months ahead of the original plan, and the private salt trade in Vietnam is unplanned, which is an unexpected surprise. If you really want to launch a large-scale expansion of these two regions,

Due to dumping, the output of the Saltworks Commune is indeed a bit insufficient, even if the production capacity is developed to the extreme and reaches the theoretical production limit mentioned by Anxi.

Seeing An Xi nodded, Tao Donglai frowned and said: "There is no suitable place for developing salt fields near Victory Port. If we really want to expand production capacity, we can only find another place. But now if we want to open another branch base, I'm afraid

It’s a bit beyond our capabilities!”

In order to be able to use self-produced coal coke as soon as possible, the entire Chuanchuan Group was almost focused on the affairs of the Black Tu Port sub-base during June and July. The amount of manpower, material and financial resources consumed was not a small amount. For this reason, it was not even necessary.

Some infrastructure projects have been temporarily suspended, and human resources have been prioritized for project preparation at Black Earth Port.

The development of the Black Earth Port has only been implemented for less than two months. It has just begun to produce output. Now it has to rush to open another branch. It is indeed powerless for the Cross-Training Group. Let’s not talk about anything else. The maritime transport capacity

The problem is not something that can be solved in a short time.

"How to solve the problem of boats?" Tao Donglai asked straight to the point: "Without boats, we can't do anything."

"We might as well determine the location first and then consider the transportation capacity." Anxi seemed to have been prepared for this: "After determining the voyage and route, we will then calculate the transportation volume requirements based on actual needs."

Since we are discussing the expansion of salt production capacity, the idea of ​​opening a new salt farm is naturally within the scope of the discussion. Tao Donglai nodded and said: "Then tell me what you think first!"

Anxi did have some plans for the future of the salt field. Although he was a little unhappy when he was first transferred to the salt field to take charge of the work, thinking that it was too far from the civil engineering profession he had been engaged in, he soon became

I adapted to this position and achieved good results.

After staying in the salt farm commune for a period of time, Anxi naturally understood the importance that the executive committee attached to the development prospects of the salt farm. For the Chuan Chuan Group, being responsible for key projects means that it is easy to achieve political achievements, which is for anyone who wants to move up.

These are excellent opportunities for performance, and Anxi quickly realized this. Among the friends he made after joining the group, Zhou Hengxing was first transferred from the Ministry of Information Industry to the Civil Affairs Department as a Li

He was the director of Miao affairs, and then was transferred to Heitu Port to serve as the civil affairs officer. Ren Liang was just appointed as the head of the Shengli Port Management Committee, and Maliko served as the director of the Cliff Office. Each of them has begun to take charge of their own affairs.

, only Anxi seems to be a little bit behind.

Although the level of the director of the commune management committee is not low anymore, and he is on the same level as several other friends in terms of internal administrative level, his political influence seems to be far behind. After Anxi carefully considered this,

I think it is due to the nature of the unit. The salt farm is a production unit, and its functions are very different from the departments where several other people work.

Within the Chuanchuan Group, there has always been a vague trend that "enterprise units are not as popular as public institutions", especially from the perspective of political influence, those who are in charge of production, such as Anxi, Gao Huan of the farm commune, Liu Xingli of the metallurgical workshop,

Cai Hongzhan from the Carpentry Workshop, Xiang Chinan from the Energy Comprehensive Management Office and others have almost no chance to show their faces. In this regard, they are far behind those who work in the military, police, civil affairs, commerce and other public institutions.

.

Anxi originally had no political ambitions, but after his butt reached a certain height, the things he saw were very different from the past. In his opinion, among these people, he could climb smoothly and quickly.

Most of them did not have great abilities, but they did the right thing at the right time and played a role that the executive committee cannot ignore.

Anxi believes that for the salt farm, even if the output can reach sky-high, it is not a big deal, because no matter how high the method is, it cannot exceed the output of future generations, and there is no amazing effect at all. If you want to do something in this field

To achieve results, there are only two directions, one is to expand sales, and the other is to find ways to expand production capacity.

The external sales of salt have always been the responsibility of the commerce and trade department. The Saltworks Commune only has the function of production. Even the export of products needs to rely on the Ministry of Shipping. Naturally, it is difficult to perform in this aspect, so Anxi can only focus on it.

Go to the second path.

To expand production capacity, in addition to limitedly improving production efficiency through scientific and technological means, the most direct and effective way is to open a new salt field. In fact, Anxi was aware of the political significance of the sub-base when the executive committee began to organize the Black Earth Port project.

The opening of a new salt farm will definitely not be as big as the Heitu Port project, but the benefits are also obvious. First, the site must be located in Hainan. Compared with the Heitu Port, which is a few days away from the sea, development is not that difficult; second, the location is definitely in Hainan.

When it comes to the development and construction of salt fields, the entire Chuanchuan Group cannot find anyone who can replace Anxi - now when it comes to matters related to salt production, Anxi is the only expert.

From preparation and establishment to production and operation, from civil affairs management to organization of production, Anxi understands the entire construction process of the salt farm. If he wants to make his voice heard on the executive committee, Anxi believes that the most suitable way for him is to become a certain person.

An authority in a field - such as salt industry development.

Anxi originally thought that this opportunity would have to wait until next year at the earliest, but since it appeared in advance, of course there was no reason to let it go, and he had already made certain preparations for this, so that he would not be given up by the people in the executive committee.

Ask live.

Anxi erased the numbers he had just written, drew a simplified outline of Hainan Island on the whiteboard, and marked the location of Victory Port: "We must first know which places on Hainan Island are suitable for building salt fields. The north is where the Ming Dynasty's rule has a stronger foundation.

We are currently unable to set foot in the local salt fields, so the area from Danzhou to Wenchang can be crossed out and not considered."

As Anxi spoke, he drew a horizontal line from Danzhou to Wenchang, and then drew a cross across the area north of the horizontal line.

"Let's look at the east coast first, the northern slope of the Wanzhou coastal area. There are bays in Dong'ao that are very suitable for developing salt fields. However, it is said that there are Ming Dynasty garrisons there, which will be more troublesome to develop. Lingshui to the south, there are Li'an and

The two harbors of Xincun are also very suitable for salt field development, but they also have the same problem. There was a Ming Dynasty garrison there."

Anxi continued to point south: "Tieliang Port in the southeast corner next to Yalong Bay is a good place. It is about twenty nautical miles from Victory Port and can be reached by sea-going ships in half a day. The channel into the bay there is very narrow, and

Without Ming troops stationed there, the developable salt field area is at least three times the current salt field. The local area can also directly reach Tiandu Industrial Zone by land through a long and narrow valley corridor. When conditions are ripe, this land channel will be opened.

The distance between the two places can be doubled. I personally think this place can be included in the candidate locations."

"Along the coast from Victory Port to the west, only the area near the mouth of the Ningyuan River is suitable for the development of salt fields, and there is a certain development foundation there that can be utilized. However, it is too close to Yazhou, and some problems may arise.

.Unless we have full control of Yazhou now, I don’t recommend choosing that place.”

"Further west, there is only Yinggehai. Regarding the specific situation of the Yinggehai salt field, it has been described in detail in the report of the last expedition team, so I will not repeat it here. I will only add one point,

The developable area of ​​Yinggehai Salt Farm is about thirty times that of Shengli Port Salt Farm.”

"In addition, the coastal area from Yinggehai Salt Field to the north to Changhua Port has a flat terrain, so there are actually many places that can be used to build salt fields. If we have enough human resources, it is possible to build a continuous salt field on the entire west coast.

.Of course, I personally recommend developing it in a focused manner to facilitate management and overall arrangement of production plans."

"To sum up, I suggest that the Executive Committee focus on two places, one is Tielugang in the east, and the other is the Yinggehai Salt Field, which we will definitely develop in the future." Anxi put down the marker and finally said: "

From planning to construction and commissioning of the salt farm, it will take at least a month of construction. If the executive committee wants to significantly increase salt production in the short term, it should consider the construction and development plan of the new salt farm in advance."

"Coach Anxi has prepared the pre-match equipment!" After listening to Anxi's explanation, Menghe praised with great admiration.

Being able to give a concise and organized explanation of the location of the new salt field will naturally not be a casual performance. If Anxi was not prepared in advance, these people here would definitely not believe it. But it was not done at this time.

When people look into why Anxi made these preparations, everyone is considering the feasibility of Anxi's plan.

Tao Donglai did not forget the previous question: "Assuming that we will develop one of the two candidate locations, how to solve the problem of transportation capacity?"
Chapter completed!
