Kapitel 28: Chapter 28: 30 thousand jobs! Tourism industry!
Fishing and agriculture were the plans he had drawn up since the founding of the nation.
At the time, the main focus was on building urbanization, without paying much attention to the issue of industry.
Only now, when doing the calculations, Chen Yang realized that fishing and agriculture would not be enough to generate many jobs.
To increase the number of job vacancies, and in large quantities, the manufacturing industry was the solution.
The ideal would be an industrial sector that did not need imports and could export directly.
He opened the system store and purchased all the skills related to these three industries.
As soon as the acquired knowledge integrated into his mind, Chen Yang had a new understanding of these sectors.
"Appliances, clothes, furniture..."
These were the three traditional pillars of exports, and it was enough to build production lines and hire employees to start operating.
After reflecting, Chen Yang removed household appliances and clothes from the list, leaving only furniture.
The island had an abundance of high-quality wood, eliminating the need for imports. All you had to do was cut it and process it directly.
With the manufacturing industry set, Chen Yang took out the map of Yan City.
The map was divided into areas by lines, each area with a designated building.
There were government departments, residential areas, commercial zones, parks, shopping centers...
These were the buildings that Chen Yang had planned. Once Yan City's land traffic planning was completed, construction would begin immediately.
He chose an undeveloped area in the far north of Yan City.
The area was 10,000 acres and, once completed, could provide 27,000 jobs.
Along with logging, another 3,000 jobs could be created.
A furniture factory with a complete production chain could generate 30,000 jobs.
….
Time passed day after day.
During this period, he took inventory of all the buildings in Yan City, determined the necessary building materials, contacted suppliers, and made a purchase.
In this purchase, he acquired in one fell swoop the supplies needed for the mining industry and the production equipment needed for the departments.
Office computers, tables and chairs, line production machines for building materials factories, line production machines for fields, fishing boats...
He purchased 80 50-meter fishing boats and 20 80-meter-long freighters, bringing his total to 100 fishing boats.
He calculated that a fishing boat takes around 15 crew members out to sea, meaning he equipped them with a state-of-the-art sonar system to ensure they always return fully loaded, a trip that lasts at least a day, followed by a period of rest.
Considering two crew shifts per boat, this means 30 jobs created.
100 fishing boats are equivalent to 3,000 jobs.
In comparison, the mining industry offers far fewer jobs.
Poultry farming, focusing on raising chickens, occupies 350 acres and generates 1,500 jobs.
The farming of ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep is on a smaller scale, with each item generating only a few dozen jobs.
If it weren't for the need to meet the Yan Guo Kingdom's demand for local meat in the future, Chen Yang would already be thinking about canceling these projects.
Agriculture generates even fewer jobs. A 100-acre orchard needs just a few dozen workers.
Grain plantations require a little more labor, but they are still not very significant.
However, agriculture has the advantage of not requiring major reforms. Seeds and fertilizers can be purchased in the system and their quality is higher than that on the market.
Thinking long term, agriculture could become a highly competitive sector for the Yan Guo Kingdom on the international stage.
….
On the 23rd, the second batch of building materials ordered by Chen Yang arrived.
On the same day, the company responsible for building the Yan Guo submarine cable approached Chen Yang.
This company was American, as Chen Yang's cable connected to Saipan Island, so he could only hire an American company.
A middle-aged white man over fifty with a big belly shook Chen Yang's hand tightly: "King, the submarine cable is officially completed. I look forward to the next cooperation with Yan Guo!"
"Thanks."
While shaking his hand, Chen Yang heard the system notification in his mind.
[Submarine cable completed, rewarding 500,000 civilization points!]
As expected, the system also rewarded the completion of national infrastructure.
"King, may I ask you a question?" the middle-aged man raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.
Chen Yang said, "Of course, but I can't guarantee that I will answer your question."
The middle-aged man shrugged, "Alright, it seems like you've already guessed what I want to ask. But I'm really curious, what is the financial group behind Yan Guo?"
Chen Yang smiled without responding. The middle-aged man was on the yacht, looking at the port under construction in the distance. The swarming workers represented the massive investment of real money.
The middle-aged man asked, "King, will Yan Guo consider developing tourism in the future?"
"Clear."
In fact, tourism was already in Chen Yang's plans for the next stage.
Compared to basic infrastructure, investment in tourism was not very large.
Furthermore, Yan Guo is an island with a unique environment.
"When Yan Guo's tourism is ready, I will come to visit. I hope that day won't be too long."
