Chapter 792 Let the People of Kangaroo Country Work for Us

But now the situation is completely different. There are companies making large-scale acquisitions right at our doorstep, which is the best thing that can happen.

Not only those large fishing boats, but also many small fishing boats of more than ten or twenty tons are in high demand in the market. Many local people in Kangaroo Country rely on the fact that they are at their doorstep and are familiar with various conditions. The whole family drives a small boat out to sea to fish.

I can come back the next day or even the same day, and as long as I transport the fish to the dock near the cannery, I can sell it for money. I don’t have to worry about sales. Even if I only get ten tons of fish, the profit I get is more than the previous week’s work.

There is a proverb in the West: "As long as there is enough profit, countless people will flock to work for you, even risk their lives for you."

Moreover, fishing at sea is a traditional skill of Europeans and Americans, but in the past, due to industrialization, most people went to factories to catch snails.

Now that we have such a good opportunity, as long as we are brave enough to go out to sea to fish, we can immediately get a lot of profits, which is much better than working as a worker and suffering from backbreaking work.

There are only a few rich people in Kangaroo Country, and most of them are struggling to make a living. Now that there is an opportunity to change the fate of their family, many people are willing to give it a try.

At the same time, Kong Hao had anticipated this situation a long time ago and had opened several factories to produce small fishing boats, specializing in the production of various small fishing boats, ranging from ten tons to more than a hundred tons.

If your family cannot afford so much money at once, you can rent a boat and even use the fish you catch to repay the rental fee.

This advanced concept immediately attracted many people, especially the first group of people who tried it out. They indeed made a lot of money, improved their living conditions, and even lived in big villas. This played a good leading role.

Small fishing boats weighing dozens of tons do not require much technical content. As long as there is a need, the factory can produce them quickly.

Kong Hao can also fully utilize the production capacity of our base's industrial zone to produce a large number of parts for small fishing boats, and then transport them through space to the factories in Kangaroo Country to assemble them into fishing boats.

Doing so can not only exercise our industrial processing capabilities. After all, only when the industry produces more can we become more and more skilled and the cost will become lower and lower. It can also be exported in exchange for various materials. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.

The most important thing is that this also results in extremely low costs for the fishing boats and other industrial products we produce, and we can completely suppress the local industry of the Kangaroo Country by relying on the price advantage.

According to our statistics, our selling price is slightly lower than the cost price of goods produced in Kangaroo Country. This is mainly because Kangaroo Country is too large and many steel companies are located inland. It costs a lot to transport the smelted steel ingots from the steel mill to the processing plant.

What's more, the labor cost in Kangaroo Country is also very high, and these have to be calculated into the price of goods. The price is definitely not competitive with ours.

It is also because of this that the various industrial products produced in our base are selling well in Kangaroo Country. Kong Hao used the money he earned to purchase a large amount of raw materials to develop our industrial strength. This formed a closed loop, which can continuously enhance our industrial strength.

Don't underestimate the catch of a ten-ton fishing boat. If you are lucky, you can return with a full load, about eight tons of fish that can be used for canning.

One ton of fish weighs 2,000 kilograms and can make 3,000 cans, which is equivalent to 24,000 cans, which is enough for the people of a county in China to eat for a week.

At the same time, this is the daily harvest of a ship. If you calculate it as twenty-two days a month, you can get at least 150 tons of various fish, which is about 2,000 tons a year.

This is just one boat, but there are at least hundreds or thousands of them along the coast of Kangaroo Country. As long as we can afford the price, the number of fishing boats will continue to increase, and we can get more canned fish.

Of course, these canned fish are basically not shipped to the coastal areas of China. After all, there is no shortage of these things here. Most of them are shipped to inland provinces, such as Sichuan and Guizhou. The people there probably have never eaten sea fish in their lives because they do not have good preservation technology.

Even if they could manage to get some of it shipped over, it would only be some dried salted fish, which could not be compared with the delicious canned fish.

In addition, a large amount of canned fish was stored as a strategic reserve, to be used as emergency relief in the future when a decisive battle with the enemy occurs or when a natural disaster occurs.

Kong Hao clearly remembered that in a while, a severe drought would occur in China, and tens of millions of people would be affected.

Canned food and compressed biscuits with a very long shelf life are the best life-saving food. We must try our best to store more of them now. When the natural disaster really comes, we can transfer them from the warehouse to save the lives of the affected people.

How many canned foods and compressed biscuits our logistics department currently has in storage is top secret. Apart from Minister Zhang and a few other leaders, no one else has any access to the specific details.

In short, our secret warehouses for storing supplies have been under construction, and we should be able to take out millions of tons of supplies easily. This is the basis for us to engage in large-scale battles with the enemy in the wild.

We've gone a bit off topic, let's get back to Brother Ge. Because they opened a can of pork ribs, the two of them specially made some braised pork ribs. The father and son planned to treat themselves to a good meal.

Although it is called spare ribs, there is actually a lot of minced meat in the can, which is an unexpected surprise for the Ge family father and son.

After the meal was ready, Father Ge first placed a piece of pork ribs in his son's bowl and kindly instructed:

"Xiao Hu, eat more. You are still young and it is the time for you to grow. Eat more meat and grow stronger."

"Dad, I understand. When I grow up, I will go fight the Japanese and avenge my mother and sister."

"By the way, you should eat more too. You do physical labor every day, so you need a healthy body. We also had meat for lunch at school, big chunks of beef. I ate a lot."

Seeing the sensible children in front of him, Brother Ge felt extremely proud. He really hoped that his generation could drive out the invaders so that their next generation would no longer have to live such a precarious and frustrating life.

This is also the reason why he wanted to kill more Japanese devils. It was not only to avenge his murdered family members, but also to allow the next generation to have a stable and peaceful living environment so that they would not be bullied everywhere.

Although he is a small figure and killing one or two enemies will not have much impact on the entire battle situation, there are some things that must be done by him.

If he retreated because of fear of danger, his son would have been enslaved by the invaders and would never have been able to turn things around.
