As a Linghai cadre, you cannot always "not do your job properly".

At 8:30 in the morning, Han Yu rushed to the conference room on the third floor of Linghai Agricultural Bureau half an hour in advance according to yesterday's phone call from the Party and Government Office of the Administrative Committee.

The upcoming meeting is about offshore fishery production, and it is said that Mayor Qian and Vice Mayor Zhang, who is in charge of agriculture, will attend.

The heads of the Linghai Agricultural Bureau Fishery Administration Station, Linghai Fisheries Company, Sanzao Port and other seaside towns, the party secretaries of several seaside fishery production brigades, and the heads of several small businesses engaged in fishing boat repair and seafood processing, etc. Already arrived.

Han Yu called Vice Mayor Shen yesterday and found out why Mayor Qian named him to attend this meeting. He was thinking about how to report to the leaders later, when the manager of the aquatic products company actually talked to several heads of towns on the seaside. Talking about the merger of three towns in the development zone.

Yesterday, the development zone's organizational and personnel adjustments were quite significant.

Although Han Yu did not attend the All-Development Zone Party Members and Cadres Conference, he was not surprised that so many cadres were dismissed and demoted at once, because Vice Mayor Shen had privately revealed this two months ago.

The cadre team is bloated and severely overstaffed. How can we reduce the burden on farmers if we do not withdraw and merge three towns? After all, so many cadres are said to be financially supported, but in fact they are supported by the common people.

As for the management committee's downsizing, several deputy directors of the management committee were even demoted, mainly to transform the functions of the organization. All party and government functions that required a lot of energy were transferred to the newly established Sanhe Subdistrict, so that the management committee could Will be able to focus on attracting investment, operating development zones, and developing the economy.

At the same time, we are also preparing for future application for provincial and even national economic and technological development zones.

The city’s goal is to turn the development zone into a provincial-level development zone within five years. The administrative level of a provincial-level development zone is at least deputy director. If the cadres are not adjusted now, the management committee will be upgraded by then. Most of the current cadres will not be promoted due to their age and academic qualifications. If the relationship does not meet the conditions for promotion, then it would be unjustifiable to let them go. They have no merit but hard work.

If we can successfully apply for a national development zone in the future, the administrative level of the unit can even reach the deputy department level. Not to mention that Vice Mayor Shen will not be able to be the secretary and director of the management committee of the development zone. Even Secretary Ye wants to be the secretary of the development zone. The director of the management committee must be approved by the provincial party committee. After all, the deputy department level is a provincial cadre.

In short, the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone cannot have too many members, but can only have fewer and better members. The same is true for the Management Committee.

Han Yuzheng secretly lamented that despite his virtues and abilities, he could still rely on his position as a member of the Party Working Committee of the Development Zone. Mayor Qian and Vice Mayor Zhang walked into the conference room accompanied by the Director of Agriculture and the Deputy Director of the Government Office.

This generation of city leaders attaches great importance to industry, and today they finally attach importance to agriculture. The attendees were very excited and immediately gave a round of warm applause.

Vice Mayor Zhang presided over the meeting, first introduced the leaders and personnel attending the meeting, and then asked the comrades participating in the meeting to speak according to the agenda, mainly introducing the situation of fishery production.

Today's meeting was convened by the Agricultural Bureau, and the notice was distributed yesterday. As long as everyone attending is prepared, how to report.

Starting with several branch secretaries of the fishery brigade, they read out the speeches in their hands.

How many fishing boats and fishermen are there in our brigade? How many days did we go fishing last year? How many fish we caught and how much we sold them for? The living standards of the fishermen have been significantly improved.

After the brigade party secretary's report, the person in charge at the township level summarized and reported on the fishery production situation of the entire township. Then the aquatic products company reported how much they purchased from the beach and how much they sold to big cities such as the East China Sea. Finally, the person in charge of fishery administration from the Agricultural Bureau reported Report from the deputy director.

It’s all about achievements, the situation is great!

That's not what Mayor Qian really wanted to hear. He put down his pen and raised his head and asked: "What about the distant sea fishery? Have our Linghai fishery production companies and fishermen gone to the distant sea to fish?"

"..."

"Comrades, as early as 1992, Dongqi City built its own fishing boats to engage in distant-water fishing in Moroccan waters. Is our Linghai lagging behind in terms of distant-water fishery production?"

"Mayor Qian, the coastline of Dongqi is longer than ours, and there have been more fishing boats and fishermen than us historically. There are now more than a thousand fishing boats with complete licenses, which is six times that of our Linghai. And Dongqi is still there New fishing boats are constantly being built.”

“Dongqi’s foundation in marine fisheries is better than ours?”

"It's much better. Guanglvsi Fishing Ground has supported them for decades."

There is no ambition for progress, no sense of crisis, and no plans for the future development of marine fisheries.

But then again, this has something to do with the importance attached by the municipal party committee and city government, so we cannot entirely blame the people below.

Mayor Qian sighed secretly, raised his head and said: "Comrade Han Yu, you are familiar with the Donghai District Fishery Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Fishery Administration Station of the Municipal Agricultural Bureau, and you have traveled to many places. Please introduce Dongqi to everyone. , the development of offshore fisheries in Binjiang and even the whole province."

"OK."

Han Yu calmed down and said quickly: "Dear leaders, in fact, I am not very proficient in marine fishery production. I just often deal with the Ministry of Agriculture's fishery administration and the municipal fishery administration at work, so I have a little understanding of this aspect."

Mayor Qian smiled and said: "Don't be modest, I don't think there is anyone in the whole Linghai who knows more than you."

"Mayor Qian, I'd better report first."

Han Yu sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "In fact, it is not just Linghai that is seriously lagging behind in the development of distant-water fisheries, but also Binjiang City and our Jiangnan Province. It can be said that the development of distant-water fisheries in Jiangnan Province is closely related to the economy of Jiangnan Province. The development is completely disproportionate.

As far as I know, the province has only had four projects in distant-water fisheries in recent years. The first one is the provincial distant-water fishery company's cooperative fishing project in Iran. This project started in 1987, with us providing fishing boats and labor services. Responsible for fishing and processing. Iran provides port services such as fuel, water and ice. The fish is sold to Iran, which pays in US dollars.

Due to the impact of the Iran-Iraq War, starting in 1991, Iran switched to the method of sharing fish products to pay our income. As of this year, the Provincial Ocean Fishery Company has sent seven fleets, more than 600 people, and earned more than 500 foreign exchanges. Ten thousand U.S. dollars."

I just know that when it comes to fish, you can go to Xianyu.

Mayor Qian nodded with satisfaction and signaled Han Yu to continue.

"Mayor Qian, the second one is the cooperative fishing project of Dongqi Fishery Company in Morocco that you just mentioned. This project was actually taken over by Binjiang Ocean Fishery Company. Dongqi only built two fishing boats and dispatched more than twenty people.

Fishing boat crew.”

"They can at least build ocean-going fishing boats!"

"It was built, but using other people's drawings, and we encountered many technical problems during the construction process. We could only ask technicians from large fishing boat repair and manufacturing companies to come over and help solve them. From a purely ship construction perspective, the construction

Dongqi Fishing Boat Repair Factory did not make any money on this fishing vessel."

Developing distant-water fisheries is not about developing anything else, and it can’t be done just when your head is hot.

Han Yu was not worried that these words would spread to the Dongqi fishing circle, and continued: "These two fishing boats have been in operation for one year, and they have caught more than 700 tons of fish, with a cumulative output value of 2.1 million and a profit of 160,000 US dollars.

Later, due to problems with the partner, and because it was too far away from the country, the ship accessories and fishing nets could not keep up, so the two fishing boats had to be sold to the shipping management company. But anyway, it was an exploration, a

It is not easy for county-level cities to do this."

Mayor Qian really didn't know about this situation and asked in a low voice: "It was only done for a year and then stopped?"

"For just one year, from 1993 to now, Dongqi has not set foot in offshore fishing."

Han Yu glanced at the notebook and continued: "The third one is the cooperative fishing project of Binjiang Ocean Fisheries Company in the Philippines. The Philippine government restricts foreign fishing boats from fishing in its waters, so this project is leased by Binjiang Ocean Fisheries Company on the Philippine side.

The ship is in the form of four 8105-type 500-horsepower fishing boats that were modified and dispatched.

The fourth and final project is the Far East Fishery Company, a joint venture between the Provincial Ocean Fisheries Company and the Oriental Fisheries Company of Ecuador, to seine tuna in Ecuador, but progress has been slow due to foreign reasons.”

Mayor Qian couldn't believe this was true. He was stunned for a while before he asked doubtfully: "Xiao Han, you mean there are only four distant-water fishing projects in the province?"

"Just these four, and none of them go very well."

"Why is it not going well?"

"First, the economic benefits are not ideal. To put it bluntly, the project was very popular but did not make much money. For example, the project in Iran changed the payment method to fish sharing in 1991, and the foreign exchange income decreased and the fish was shipped back.

Not only will there be transportation costs domestically, but the sales risk is also very high."

Han Yu paused and then said: "Furthermore, there are big problems with the cooperation method. Among the three projects that were actually implemented, the Moroccan projects of Binjiang Fishery Company and Dongqi Fishery Company were actually introduced or subcontracted by the Dchain Fishery Group.

For them, they have to pay management fees to both the foreign joint venture company and the large chain aquatic products group. In the end, the profits and losses are even."

"All the money has been taken away by others!"

"So Dongqi did it for a year and stopped doing it again."

Han Yu confirmed and added: "The Iranian project of the Provincial Ocean Fishery Company is affiliated to the East China Sea Foreign Economic and Technical Cooperation Company. It is said that the kickbacks from foreign parties and the management fees collected by the East China Sea account for a total of 15% of the total output value. This

It’s 15% of the output value, not 15% of the profit, who can bear it!”

After doing this, it turns out that I am losing money and making money!

Mayor Qian no longer envied Dong Qi for attending the meeting on the development of offshore fisheries held by Binjiang City. He looked at Han Yu with a smile and asked: "How is the development of offshore fisheries in the East China Sea?"

"The development of the East China Sea is very good. I went to the East China Sea to borrow a boat some time ago. The fishery administration wharf of the Donghai District Fishery Administration Bureau is on Fuxing Island in the East China Sea. Fuxing Island is the headquarters of the Donghai Fishery Company. I stopped by to visit it. It is really big.

Eye-opening.”

"Why is it so eye-opening?"

"They established a pelagic fishery preparatory group as early as 1985. In April of that year, they established a pelagic fishery company and invested US$4.9 million to introduce a 3,000-ton pelagic fishing vessel from the then Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany).

Processing vessel.”

"We invested US$4.9 million in 1985!" Mayor Qian was shocked and looked incredulous.

"That boat is still very advanced today. It can process it while fishing. This processing not only freezes the fish for packaging, but also processes fish roe and even fish meal."

Han Yu looked at his notebook and continued: "That boat is called 'Chuangchuang'. After it was imported back to China, it first went to the seamount fishery northwest of Midway Island in the Pacific to trawl. In 1992, it went to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to fish, and it was caught in one net.

It’s just dozens of tons of cod. Cod is a precious fish that people in developed Western countries like to eat. If you catch it, you can export it and earn foreign exchange.”

Vice Mayor Zhang asked curiously: "Comrade Xiao Han, do you think we can develop distant sea fisheries and go fishing in distant seas like Donghai Fishery Company does?"

"This requires solving two problems first."

"What two questions."

"The first is funds, and the second is talents."

"Be specific."

"The investment in offshore fishing is huge. A decent offshore fishing boat can easily cost millions of dollars. The climate at sea changes rapidly, so the risks of offshore fishing are also very high. To use the simplest analogy, if a crew member gets sick, they can only grit their teeth and persevere.

, unlike cargo ships, which can berth nearby or request rescue from the maritime authorities of relevant countries."

Han Yu took a deep breath and said very seriously: "Compared with financial investment, the lack of talent is the real problem that is difficult to solve. Mayor Qian, Mayor Zhang, and Deputy Director Tang Wentao of our Development Zone Management Committee are all familiar to you.

It can be said that if you want to develop distant-water fisheries, you need at least three to four people who are more proficient in international trade than Director Tang and who can follow fishing boats to operate in distant seas."

Mayor Qian frowned and said, "It's hard to find such talents."

"If we don't have such talents, where can we find partners? It is no exaggeration to say that after our ocean-going fishing boats go out, we don't know which port we go to for refueling and water, who we call for repairing if the boat breaks down, or who we catch and sell the fish to.

"

"Xiao Tang has only worked as an agent, has never been abroad, and doesn't know much about offshore fishing."

"So we need more talented people than him. But if you really have the ability, who is willing to take the risk and endure the hardship? After all, it takes more than half a year or even one or two years to go to sea. The situation in Donghai is different. Donghai is an international metropolis, and there are many

Talent in this area.”

"So if others can develop distant water fisheries, we in Jiangnan Province can only work for them."

"almost."

"Xiao Han, are you familiar with Donghai Ocean Fishery Company?"
