Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry
Chapter 746 South America, what a great place
The people are grateful for the benevolence and righteousness of our party, which always considers the poor people like them. They have all expressed that as long as such scum appear, we don't need to do anything, as others will take action to punish those who break the rules.
According to our regulations, a family of four is provided with one pound of staple food per person per day, one can of food per week, plus other miscellaneous items, and the price is only half of the market price. This is equivalent to saving half of the living costs for the people, which is a great favor.
And this kind of thing does not discriminate by age, even for newborn babies.
This also leads to a very interesting phenomenon. After an average family obtains supplies, they only consume two kilograms of food a day at most. The male head of the family who does physical work is given some hard rice and oily dishes so that he has the strength to make money. The other people in the family basically just drink porridge made with wild vegetables.
By this calculation, consuming two kilograms of food is completely sufficient, and the whole family can occasionally eat canned meat, which is a world of difference compared to before.
The remaining two kilograms of food can be saved for emergency use. The simplest view of ordinary people is: "If you have food in your hands, you will not be worried."
If you have 100 kilograms of grain stored in your rice jar, even if something unexpected happens, it can guarantee your family enough food for two months.
If you have 500 kilograms of food at home and eat it sparingly, you won't have to worry about food for half a year. No matter what you do, you will be able to advance and retreat in moderation, and you will be able to cope even if you have no income for a short period of time.
If a family has thousands of kilograms of grain, this is not something that a poor family should consider for the time being, and ordinary city residents will not store so much grain.
The reason for such a complicated process is mainly to allow the lowest level to get some benefits. As for those rich people, they don’t care about the price increase at all, so we don’t need to worry about it.
If there is more food stored at home, you can take out some and sell it outside to exchange for other daily necessities to make your family live a better life.
At the beginning, most people felt a little embarrassed. After all, buying various supplies from others at low prices and then selling some of them at high prices on the market was indeed a bit unfair and unfair to others.
So some people carefully asked the material delivery personnel about their opinions on this matter, and the final result made everyone happy.
The staff member said pointedly, "These supplies are only sold to you. They are yours and you can dispose of them as you wish. Whether you eat them, store them, or feed them to your cats or dogs is up to you."
After hearing these words, everyone finally felt relieved. At the same time, everyone had greater hope for the future and was thinking of our goodness in their hearts.
There are about three million people in the entire city of Shanghai. If each person is given one kilogram of food, 150 tons can meet the needs of one-tenth of the population.
A 7,000-ton cargo ship fully loaded with grain can be enough to last for half a year. This is why we dare to provide such subsidies and even engage in commercial wars with those illegal businessmen.
As long as we distribute more food here, many people will not go to the grain stores run by the Japanese and traitors to sell food. With more food on the market, those unscrupulous businessmen will not dare to raise prices at will.
Storing food has a huge cost. The enemy cannot sell food at a high price, so they can only lower the price or choose not to sell food and fight with us, trying to wear us down with time.
But in addition to transporting a large amount of food back from the Kangaroo Country, Kong Hao also sent people to South America to purchase a large amount of food, and then transported it back by ship.
In fact, on the other continent, the food there is cheaper and more diverse, especially soybeans and wheat, which are quite cheap. Even with the transportation costs, they are only about 20% higher than those in Kangaroo Country.
Our country has a population of 400 million and the demand for food is very large. No matter how much is transported back, it can be consumed.
There is also a wide variety of sugar, beef and mutton there, and the prices are extremely low, which is exactly what our country, which has suffered so many disasters, needs.
At the same time, Kong Hao plans to open the second space gate in South America, which is close to the Eagle Country, and the countries there are generally not strong. As long as he uses the identity of the Niu Niu Country to invest locally, he will definitely be warmly welcomed by the local countries.
In the current international world, the identity of a Niu Niu noble is still very useful, and ordinary people do not dare to deliberately make things difficult for them. Besides, we are going to provide job opportunities and just do business, and never bring any other additional conditions. This is simply the most ideal business partner for everyone.
Based on previous experience, Kong Hao planned to send people to build thermal power plants, smelters, steel mills and, most importantly, canneries near the coastal ports.
The ones in front all serve the canning factory, mainly because only canned food can be preserved for a long time, and they need to make full use of the rich livestock resources here.
By the way, I have to mention here that the entire South America is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the fishery resources are quite rich. There are so many that as long as you drive a fishing boat out to sea, you can return with a full load in no time.
Various seafood are also a source of high-quality protein, which is exactly what the Chinese people need. If 10,000 tons can be shipped back, and one can weighs about one kilogram, that would be 20 million, which is not a small amount.
Although our country also has a long coastline, due to the limitations of technology and steel production, it is basically caught by nearby fishermen and supplied to coastal areas, and it is difficult to eat inland areas.
However, drying fish meat into dried fish takes a lot of time and cannot be provided on a large scale, which also leads to the very small scale of our fishing.
But it is completely different in South America. There are excellent fishing conditions here. As long as various fishing tools are provided to local residents and all the caught seafood is purchased, there will definitely be a large number of people joining this industry.
If we hire some overseas Chinese from the Eagle Country to manage it, this industrial chain will gradually grow in scale.
At present, there are many of our compatriots in the Eagle Country. Their lives are not satisfactory. After all, their motherland is being invaded, and a large amount of territory has been occupied by the enemy. Countless people are also displaced.
In this situation, it is extremely difficult to gain the respect of those arrogant foreigners.
Kong Hao's company is basically opened in the Eagle Country. Except for a few local people who are hired for show, the rest are Chinese. Even the security guards and cleaning ladies are trusted to use their own talents.
The Chinese are the smartest people in the world, but they have never had the opportunity to display their talents.
Providing various jobs to the Chinese people in the Eagle Country can also bring everyone together, so that the force can become strong and will not be underestimated.
