Tao Hongfang asked: "Isn't it good to concentrate on the development of the shipbuilding industry? I have traveled all the way and saw that the shipbuilding industries in Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, Zhoushan and other places are developing well. Sasebo Bay is a good natural harbor with rich forest resources nearby. , should also develop along this route.”
Amakusa Shiro shook his head and said: "The Sasebo shipyard mainly serves the resident fleet, and its daily business is to maintain the fleet ships, which is equivalent to a supporting industry for the base. Although the shipbuilding business is also open to the private sector, the local business scale is limited and there is not much shipping demand. , domestic merchants rarely look far away and place orders with us to build boats. Most of the business they can receive locally is to build a few fishing boats. If the price is low, there is no profit, and if the price is high, fishermen can’t afford it. It can only be said that it is better than nothing. "
Tao Hongfang knew a little about the situation of the shipbuilding industry. After listening to Amakusa Shiro's explanation, he realized that he had indeed misjudged the actual local situation.Most of the local demand for shipbuilding comes from the garrison, and orders for the construction of fishing boats are indeed meager profits in comparison.The construction cost of merchant ships has a lot to do with the number of orders. If Sasebo Shipyard can receive too few orders, it will be difficult for the construction cost to compete with domestic shipyards.
When it comes to the demand for shipping for the shipbuilding industry, the question goes back to the size of the local population.Given the current social situation of less than [-] permanent residents in the Sasebo area, the demand for commercial activities and supplies is relatively limited.Now the local area can basically achieve self-sufficiency in food. The main things that need to be transported from the country are some military equipment and living materials that cannot be produced by themselves. Transported by military ships, the civilian transport capacity cannot reach saturation at all, so naturally it cannot bring much help to the local shipbuilding industry.
At present, many domestic large-scale commercial organizations have set up offices in Sasebo, but the main purpose is to seize the territory as soon as possible to gain the first-mover advantage. It is a business behavior that has a date or not, and the scale of trade is still relatively small. low level.
For these wealthy business organizations, there is also a long-term organization in Nagasaki, not far from here, and it will not cost much to send some people there to build a shop in Sasebo or buy a shop to set up a shop. .If he can find a way to get some business from the garrison, then the initial investment can be earned back immediately.
However, in order to truly achieve stable profits, we can only patiently wait for the local population to grow. Only after the demand reaches a certain scale can these commercial organizations drive the development of shipping and other industries.So the root of the problem is population.
For Haihan's overseas colonies, population growth is one of the factors that will test the authority's ability to govern.The Sasebo area used to be a sparsely populated place, otherwise it would not have been easily taken over by Haihan without any resistance. In the early stage, it mainly relied on domestic organizations to immigrate to settle here. After the local construction has achieved initial results in recent years, it has gradually attracted more and more people. More and more Japanese immigrants took the initiative to defect.The growth rate of thousands of people a year is naturally not fast in the eyes of everyone in the mission, but for the Sasebo authorities, this is much better than the population growth level of the initial period of the previous few years.
Amakusa Shiro confessed to everyone frankly: "According to our estimates, to achieve a local fiscal balance, at least a resident population of 5 or more is required, and this does not include the military expenditure of the garrison. At present, With the population growth rate, we may still need seven or eight years!"
"So long?" Tao Hongfang was slightly disappointed when he heard the answer.Yuan Wendong said earlier that people from all over Japan have moved to Sasebo to settle down, and the scale may double next year. It seems that the population growth situation is very optimistic, but if you count the details, it is not so exciting.
This is not because the Sasebo authorities are ineffective, but mainly because of the limited objective environment here.Unless force is used to plunder the population of the Japanese archipelago, there seems to be no way to increase the population here in a short period of time.Of course, considering the current relatively stable international situation, there is no need for Haihan to adopt such radical methods.
After getting a general understanding of the local situation, the mission also took the initiative to explain to the local officials its experience during the mission to North Korea.Amakusa Shiro highly praised the delineation of the exclusive economic zone in Busan and the two matters of persuading Tsushima Fan to give up the franchise, because such changes are undoubtedly beneficial to the development of Sasebo.
With an exclusive economic zone with its own port in Busan, the ships of the Sasebo garrison can also conveniently enter and leave Busan Port to transport supplies and personnel in the future, which will also increase the influence of Sasebo, an emerging colonial area in southern Korea, virtually.
After Tsushima Fan gave up its trade privileges, it will definitely take the initiative to increase trade with surrounding areas. As one of the large ports closest to Tsushima Island, Sasebo will inevitably become the target of Tsushima Fan.At that time, the merchant ships and various resources that will enter Sasebo from the Tsushima Domain will be conducive to local development.
After the brief meeting was over, it was time for the routine welcome banquet.Although Sasebo is not a prosperous place, the living standard of the upper class is definitely not low. At least in terms of the quality of banquets, it is not much worse than the places that the mission has visited before.
Not only the dishes maintain the authentic Haihan flavor, but even the tableware and wine utensils used are all made in Haihan, but there is no trace of Japanese locality.This point is also very favorable to everyone in the mission, because this kind of detail shows Amakusa Shiro's recognition of Haihan's identity from the side.
The United Fleet that arrived here with the mission also had a tooth sacrifice.Haihan's own family is fine, after all, the conditions in the country are better than here, but the North Korean navy led by An Daoshi is very envious of this.
This is just a partial division of the Haihan Army stationed overseas, who can have such a good military port and base with such good natural conditions, and the standard of living is not bad at all.For North Korean soldiers who ate kimchi all the year round and rarely saw oily meals, they really felt the gap.
During the stay in Sasebo, the main purpose was to complete the change of defense of the garrison troops, and the mission had no tasks to perform, so everyone didn't care about anything, so they had a drink during the dinner that night.Except for Amakusa Shiro, most of the people at the banquet were young and strong, just the age that likes to drink and have fun, so the host and guest took turns to start drinking until the sky was about to dawn.
