1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

1993, the end of the year.

Minlong Company ushered in a year-end meeting. The venue was full of employees. The host of this meeting was Wu Shaoyan.

To be honest, Minlong is really lucky to have recruited such a person.

Publicity, entertainment, and packaging are all done well, and the most important thing is grandeur and confidence. But it's right to think about it. Being born in such a family, there is no chance of stage fright.

"Congratulations to ten employees Li Yinhua, Zhang Sancai and Wu Fugui for winning this year's Best Employee Award from Minlong Company, with a bonus of 2,000 yuan. Three employees were invited to come to the stage to receive the award."

The person who presented awards to outstanding employees was Li Duoyu. As a former cow horse, he knew very well that it would be better to give bonuses directly instead of giving them frivolous titles.

Two thousand yuan is what most employees earn for a whole year. As we entered the 1990s and prices rose rapidly, wages also increased.

A few years ago, the price of meat was still around 2 yuan, but now it has risen to 5 yuan, and labor wages have also increased from around 50 yuan to 200 yuan.

But during this special period, not many factories are willing to increase prices. The average monthly price for Minlong's employees is almost 200 yuan.

Zhou Xiaoying's salary is only over 100 yuan, the salary of some state-owned enterprise employees is only around 150 yuan, and the salary of some black-hearted factories is even less than 100 yuan.

Therefore, the two thousand yuan bonus is definitely a huge amount of money for most people. The employees sitting below are envious and full of motivation.

In addition to paying bonuses to employees, Minlong Company ushered in its first official dividend distribution, and shareholders received the corresponding money.

This time, the person who got the most dividends was Chen Wenchao. Looking at the numbers on the passbook, Chen Wenchao felt an inexplicable hot feeling.

Although he only owns 2% of the dividends of the entire Minlong Group, after so many years, he got it in one go and directly exceeded eight figures.

Households worth ten thousand yuan have long been a thing of the past and have been forgotten for a long time. It is now popular to call them millionaires, but Chen Wenchao already has tens of millions in his bank card.

After his wife Liu Xiaolan saw the dividend, she said seriously: "Don't let my brothers know, otherwise they will definitely come to borrow money."

Chen Wenchao nodded: "I understand."

Although Liu Xiaolan's brothers have embarked on the right path, with such a powerful brother-in-law in the family, they are still somewhat lazy.

Moreover, they have lost a lot of money at Yupai this year. If they knew that Wenchao had distributed so much money this year, they would probably have to run to their house every day.

After Chen Wenchao thought for a while, he then asked Liu Xiaolan: "Do you think Brother Yu made a miscalculation and gave me so much money? Do you want me to ask?"

Liu Xiaolan looked at him with disgust: "If you hadn't been with Brother Yu for the first time, how could you have been the person in charge of the feed factory with your head? Who is Brother Yu? How could he have made a miscalculation? Even if he had made a mistake, , it’s impossible for Mr. Li not to recalculate.”

Chen Wenchao was stunned for a moment. Brother Yaoguo was in charge of the company's money. Even if Brother Yu might make a mistake, Brother Yaoguo would definitely not make a mistake.

Liu Xiaolan then said: "Since Brother Yu gave you this money, you should keep it well and manage the feed factory well. This will be the greatest reward for Brother Yu."

Chen Wenchao nodded, but he himself found it very incredible that he suddenly became a multimillionaire.

He looked at his wife, who was still wearing ordinary work clothes, and couldn't help but grinned and said: "If you are free on the weekend, I will take you to buy some new clothes."

But what Chen Wenchao didn't expect was that Liu Xiaolan actually said: "Now that we have money, if we have another child, we won't be afraid of fines."

"Isn't this bad?"

"But grandma has already left. Her biggest wish during her lifetime was for your Chen family to have children."

"We'll talk about this later."

In addition to Chen Wenchao, brother-in-law Chen Dongqing, second brother Li Yaoguo, brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng, Shitou, Xiaojin, including Manager An and Wu Shaoyan all received dividends.

Not only these shareholders, but all company employees receive dividends from the company based on their length of service.

According to the company announcement, Minlong paid out a one-time dividend of nearly 40 million yuan at the end of the year.

Li Duoyu just wanted to keep a low profile and didn't invite any media, but the news of the dividend spread quickly. It was explosive news not only in Rongcheng, but also in the province.

During this period of time, Minlong Company's phone numbers were almost overwhelmed, and the mailbox was full every day. Most people came to ask when Minlong Company would recruit people again.

Regarding the Minlong dividend issue, Director Lu Xiaoyu of the provincial station still complained a little. She was not invited to shoot a few scenes for such an explosive news.

During this period, a team has been lobbying Minlong Company in the past few months, hoping to get Minlong Company listed.

In this day and age, it is not easy for a company to go public, and the quota is extremely limited. So far, only two companies in Fujian Province have been listed.

In an office on Wuyi Road in Rongcheng, several staff members wearing formal suits and carrying briefcases found Li Duoyu again.

One of the middle-aged men with a crew cut said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Cao's company from the glass factory went public in June this year, and each share sold for more than 30 yuan.

After going public, he immediately made 200 million, and now the scale of the factory has expanded many times.

Your Minlong is much more famous than the glass factory, plus you have advertised on CCTV for so many years.

As long as it is willing to go public, investors across the country will definitely flock to buy Minlong shares. "

"Director Zhang, have some tea first. The rock tea from Wuyi Mountain is quite good." After Chen Yuan Yuan left, Li Duoyu also gained benefits, that is, several tea gardens in Wuyi Mountain were transferred to him.

Under the management of Wu Shaoyan, these tea gardens have established their own brands. When they go to the imperial capital to give gifts, they use these branded teas.

Li Duoyu made tea for the other party. The people who came were not only organized, but also from local securities companies.

This is the third time they have come to him, in order to get Minlong Company listed.

Director Zhang's talk was miraculous, but what he didn't know was that Li Duoyu and Brother Wang from the glass factory were good buddies.

And he also invested a lot of money in him. If Brother Wang makes money, it means that he also makes money.

In fact, it took three years for Glass Factory to go public from issuance to listing, and the period was like a roller coaster. Wang Ge was almost collapsed several times, and even borrowed a lot of money from him, but it was still not enough.

In the end, if the bank hadn't come forward to help, the glass factory might have been sold before going public.

After Li Duoyu made tea for the other party, he said with a bit of pretentiousness: "To be honest, our company is really not short of cash flow now, so we have no plans to raise funds and go public for the time being."

At this time, a young man in a suit said: "Mr. Li, there are many benefits of going public."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Director Zhang who was accompanying him, and said: "Xiao Chen, it's you who can explain the benefits of going public. Who is Mr. Li? How could he not understand?"

Li Duoyu smiled, and then asked the young man: "Brother, can you tell me what disadvantages will arise if our Minlong company goes public?"

"this?"

The young man was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then regretted it. Why did he interrupt just now? How should I answer such a question?

Li Duoyu didn't say clearly that Minlong's cash flow in the past two years was really so large that it could be lent to the bank.

In addition to aquaculture, Minlong has also been developing daily consumables in the past two years.

For example, making fish sauce and monosodium glutamate. The fish sauce has already been made, so we can make soy sauce and steal a certain company's slogan.

"Minlong soy sauce is delicious and fresh. It is dried here for 180 days."

Even the advertising scenes were replicated. In order to shoot this commercial, a helicopter was even rented to shoot aerial footage.

Seeing them hesitating and not knowing how to answer, Li Duoyu asked again nonsensically:

"I just want to ask, if one day the seafood I farmed runs away, will the stock price fall to the limit?"

Faced with this outrageous question, the young man was embarrassed, and Director Zhang also said:

"Mr. Li, you really know how to joke. How could the seafood escape?"

"Yes, I was just making an analogy."

At the end of the chat, the group of people sighed, and they knew very well that this trip was probably in vain.

But they really don't understand. Now almost all the companies in the province are eager to get financing and go public, but Minlong, which has a very strong reputation and strength, is not surprised at all.

Li Duoyu, who has been a man for two generations, naturally knows very well that there are many benefits to listing a company.

But it all boils down to one word: money!

Listing is not for the purpose of making money. Listing has a purpose, but it is precisely because of listing that you can make a lot of money.

So much so that many entrepreneurs have forgotten their original intentions and are all rushing to go public.

But the financial market is never that simple. Once it is listed, it is likely to be swayed by capital. It will not be surprising what happens by then.

All scallops will run away.

It’s not surprising that the oysters and shrimps he farmed escaped.

Besides, Minlong's cash flow is very sufficient. If it wants to expand, it can just use its own money. There is no need to raise funds at all.

When he finally left, Director Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Li, why don't you want to go public?"

Li Duoyu smiled.

"I just haven't graduated from junior high school. The water here is too deep and I can't control it."

In the end, he still failed to convince Li Duoyu, and Director Zhang did not give up. Instead, he said: "We will come back to you next time."

Watching them leave, Li Duoyu was silent for a while. In fact, he had been paying attention to the stock market.

Since 1992, the "T+0" trading rule has been implemented, which means you can buy and sell at any time, and there is no limit on the rise or fall.

At that time, there was always a queue in front of the securities company. Some people became rich within a few days, while others went directly to the rooftop to jump off the building. (End of chapter)
