In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

As relations between the two villages thawed.

When the people of the two villages were setting up nets at the junction of the sea areas, they no longer cursed at each other, but instead said:
"If you have time, would you like to come to our village for tea?"

"Okay, I'll go to your village another day."

The passenger ship business at Dandan Island Pier has also improved a lot in an instant. It used to only run once a day, but now many Chenjiacun people come here to take the ship.

The boat owner decided on the spot that starting from today, he would make two trips back and forth a day.

In fact, there has been very little communication between the two villages since the war broke out between the two villages.

Although they live on the same island, some people live for three to forty years and have never been to the next village.

When people from Chenjia Village arrived at Xiasha Village, they looked envious when they saw so many families building new houses.

"Why is your village so rich? So many people are building new houses."

People from Xiasha Village replied: "I don't have much money. I was just like you before. I only earned these in the past two years."

Chenjiacun looked at the densely packed fishing boats in the haven: "There must be too many fishing boats in your village."

"These fishing boats were only bought in these years."

The people in Chenjia Village couldn't help but sigh. They really didn't expect that the economy of the neighboring village had developed so well.

What makes Chenjiacun most curious is that on the dock side, you can see the four characters [Minlong Food] from a distance.

"Did someone from outside invest in that factory?"

"That's not it. It's an eel breeding factory run by our village director Li Duoyu."

"That's the young man with the big speaker a few days ago."

"Well, yes, it's his."

People from Chenjiacun whispered: "It costs a lot of money to set up that factory. Your village director is still so young, so he must be greedy. Why do you still support him so much?"

After hearing this, a young man named Liu Jinyuan became serious and said, "Just tell me this. Don't talk nonsense. All this money was earned by our village director himself."

"Impossible, how old is he? How can he make so much money?"

"The people in your village must not have read the newspapers carefully. It was our village director who took the lead in kelp farming, and he also started the oyster hanging business.
There is also the abalone investment at the beginning of the year, which was also coordinated by our village director, otherwise your village may not get back a dime. "

"No way. He also helped with the Abalone investment. Why didn't we know about it?"

"How could those old men in your village let you know?"

"According to what you say, your village director is too powerful."

"No, if it weren't for him, our village wouldn't be able to develop so well now."

"I really envy you for having such a good village chief."

The villagers of the two villages have been having friendly interactions these days. Some people even carried a lot of dry goods and ran to Chenjia Village to propose marriage.

But Li Duoyu has had a lot of headaches these past two days, because after the relationship between the two villages has been restored, there are a lot of things to be busy with.

When the two villages were at odds, they set up primary schools respectively, but now both sides have insufficient teaching staff.

The council in Chenjia Village hopes to integrate the primary schools in the two villages.

There are also the old men in Chenjia Village who attach great importance to rituals and feel that repairing the relationship between the two villages is a big deal and must be taken seriously.

On the third day, the Chenjia Village Council beat gongs and drums and delivered a large plaque reading "Good Neighborliness and Friendship".

According to the rules, this kind of plaque must be given to each other. If Chenjia Village sends a plaque, Xiasha Village must also return one.

The plaque sent by Chenjiacun is still made of nanmu. It is estimated that one plaque costs hundreds of yuan.

In addition to the plaque, the old men in Chenjiacun hope that they can invite an opera troupe from Shacun to come to the island to perform operas.

People in Chenjia Village sing for half a month, and people in Xiasha Village also sing for half a month, to fight off the bad luck of this century.

After the opera was over, people from the Chenjia Village Council hoped that the two villages would hold a formal event to establish friendly neighbors and invite photographers to take pictures.

Li Duoyu's face turned dark as he looked at the requests made by Chenjiacun. He thought that burning the talisman in front of the Queen's Palace would be the end of the matter.

I didn’t expect that there would be so many rules and so much money to follow.

In this era, if you invite an opera troupe to come to the village to sing, the minimum cost is 50 yuan a day, and for half a month, that is [-] yuan.

In addition to the plaque and various expenses, it will cost at least 1000 yuan.

And there is only 89 yuan left in the capital account of the Xiasha Village Committee. Not to mention hiring a theater troupe, it can't even afford a plaque. How can it still have so much money to carry out these messy celebrations.

However, something big like this happened.

The advantages of the clan council in Chenjia Village were immediately apparent.

The clan council can confidently ask for money from the villagers. Even if each family contributes only one yuan, the council will receive more than 1000 yuan.

But Xiasha Village is different.

In the conference room, several village cadres gathered together, each looking uglier than the other. Now that the village committee itself can't take the blame, how can it have the money to do so many tricks?

But Chenjia Village attaches great importance to it, and the relationship between the two villages is breaking through, so they are embarrassed to pour cold water on it.

Zhang Jinsha struggled for a while: "How about I donate 100 yuan first, and we make the plaque first and send it to them first."

Li Duoyu thought for a while and shook his head. He felt that this kind of donation trend should not be allowed. Otherwise, if Zhang Jinsha donated money, as the "first burden" of the village, wouldn't he have to donate more money.

I am here to be the village director, not a boy who makes money.

And as a man of two generations, he knows very well that the more you help the village, the more grateful the villagers will be to you.

It may even be counterproductive. Small favors and small favors can nourish nobles, while large favors and large favors can nourish enemies. This is especially common in rural areas.

I remember that in my previous life here in Shangfeng Town, there was a boss who went abroad to make a lot of money and came back to help the villagers build villas for free.

He originally planned to build one for each household, but he underestimated the greed of human nature and some villagers with relatively large households.

I feel that it is unfair that other people with two or three people on their household registration are allotted a villa, and eight or nine people on their household registration are also only allocated one villa.

So they asked the rich man who was a philanthropist to build three villas for them according to their population. In the end, the rich man was so angry that he left the country and did not even want to return to his hometown.

But the villagers still treated him unmercifully. They often scolded him behind his back, saying that he was not trustworthy and ran away after half the villa was built.

As for Li Duoyu, he also has a bottom line. He can help the villagers, but it is limited to teaching them how to make money, and he cannot directly give them money.

If you give less, others won’t be particularly grateful to you. If you give too much, if you don’t express your displeasure, you might actually harm the people in the village.

Zhang Jinsha asked:
"What should we do if we don't have money? The old men in Chenjiacun take this matter very seriously. Yesterday they were asking us when the plaque would be ready."

Li Duoyu also had a headache and felt as if he had shot himself in the foot. He asked his second brother, who was the village accountant:

"Does our village committee still have assets that can be sold?"

Li Yaoguo shook his head. "It's gone. There are only some casuarinas that haven't grown up yet, but I guess no one wants them."

The corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched. Damn it, a dignified island village committee could be so poor.

Li Duoyu really wants to learn from the Wang brothers in his previous life and bring in an outside investment company to directly contract the breeding waters of Dandan Island, so that the village committee can receive a large amount of money every year.

And just when everyone was helpless.

Qingguang ran to the village committee to find Li Duoyu and said excitedly: "Brother, that beautiful sister who dresses very well is here to see you again."

After hearing this.

Several village cadres looked at each other in confusion, looked at Li Duoyu through colored glasses, and made "tsk tsk" sounds.

Seeing everyone's strange looks, Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think blindly, we're just business partners."

As soon as Qing Guang said it, Li Duoyu knew who was coming, but when he thought of Chen Yuan Yuan, Li Duoyu suddenly slapped his forehead.

I was worried about money just now and didn't want to send money, so I delivered it to my door in person.

Li Duoyu rushed to the dock and personally greeted Chen Yuanyu, the money-giving girl.

He invited her to the village committee very enthusiastically and brought out the old Cong Narcissus that Manager An Yuliang had given him earlier to entertain her.

After the two parties had a brief chat.

Only then did Li Duoyu learn that Chen Yuanyu's visit was actually related to the island country's inspection team.

Like his kelp farming and eel farming projects, her soon-to-open Japanese food store has also become an important inspection point for the inspection team.

This time she came, she added many more varieties of sashimi, and asked Li Duoyu to ensure the supply of sashimi during that period.

"No problem, I will 100% arrange it for you this time. When the time comes, I will personally go to sea and catch some red squid, yellowtail, and red sea bream for you."

"Come, come, drink tea first."

"Uncle Liao, please have some sun-dried peanuts from our village."

Facing Li Duoyu's sudden enthusiasm, Chen Yuanyu felt a little uncomfortable.

Came here a few times before.

Li Duoyu seemed to be afraid of something and wanted to drive her away quickly. Not only did he agree readily this time, he also invited her to drink tea with him.

"Director Li, has anything good happened recently?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Manager Chen, you really guessed it. Next, we have a major event on Dandan Island. Would you like your Xinyuan company to participate together?"

"Major event?" Chen Yuanyou asked curiously.

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "That's right. After 100 years, our Xiasha Village and the neighboring Chenjia Village have finally reconciled. Our two villages plan to hold some activities in the next month."

Chen Yuanyou smiled and said:
"This is a good thing, congratulations."

Li Duoyu smiled and said:
“It’s such a big event, and if only our two villages are involved, it always feels like something is missing.
If a big company like yours could participate and witness the activities of our two villages establishing friendly neighbors, it would definitely be a great success for our two villages. "

Although Li Duoyu didn't say it clearly, the village cadres present heard that they, the village director, had gone around for a long time and planned to have someone pay for it.

However, they feel that this is unrealistic. How can they be so stupid? If their two villages are reconciled and they don't care about their company, why should they pay for activities for your two villages?

But what shocked them was that Manager Chen actually started thinking about it seriously and discussed it with his colleagues.

Not long after.

Chen Yuanyou smiled and said: "Director Li, if our company participates, what benefits will it bring?"

Li Duoyu said seriously: "How can there be no benefit? Doesn't Manager Chen think that having good relations with our two villages is the biggest benefit?"

Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping twitched their mouths. Anyone who has ever done aquaculture business knows the status of Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company in Rongcheng. On weekdays, farmers and fishermen like them would like to hold on to this God of Wealth.

But Li Duoyu said it as if their two villages were the gods of wealth, and Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company's friendship with them was already the greatest benefit.

This is too valuing of oneself.

It's too shameless.

But what Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping didn't expect was that the beautiful manager Chen actually started serious discussions with his colleagues again.

This is a fart.

This is nothing to discuss.

After a group of people discussed for a while, Chen Yuanyou said seriously: "Yes, but we also have conditions. In every scene, the host must shout that it is sponsored by our Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, and it must be in a conspicuous position. Post an introduction to our company.”

After hearing this answer, the village cadres looked at each other in shock, not expecting that the other party would actually agree.

Li Duoyu asked the village cadres: "Can everyone accept these requirements made by Manager Chen?"

Several village cadres didn't even think twice and replied directly: "Yes, of course it's no problem."

To them, it doesn't matter if they read the sponsor's name in every scene. "

Chen Yuanyou then asked: "Director Li, how much funding will you need for this activity?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Not much, just about one thousand and fifty."

Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping's mouths twitched.

Is this not much?
Obviously 1000 yuan is enough, why do we need to add [-] yuan more?

Chen Yuanyou smiled but did not agree on the spot: "Director Li, I am just a marketing manager. I have to give the general manager approval before I go back."

After hearing this, Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping sighed and asked you to open your mouth. If you get 500 yuan, they might agree.

One thousand and five words.

Even a big company like Xinyuan Aquatic Products had to think about it carefully, but what the two of them didn't expect was.

Li Duoyu actually smiled and said: "Manager Chen, please hurry up. The activities in our two villages will start soon. Engraving plaques also takes time. If it's late, maybe these village cadres will go find them." Other companies.”

Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping have very dark faces. There is a ghost company that is willing to give us money.

"Go back and I'll report to the general manager immediately."

Immediately afterwards, a group of village cadres went to the dock to watch Chen Yuanyu leave.

After the group dispersed.

Zhang Jinsha couldn't help but ask Tang Ping: "Brother Tang, do you think Duoyu is having an affair with this girl?"

Tang Ping rolled his eyes and asked, "If it were you, if you had an affair with this girl, would you still cheat her like this?"

Zhang Jinsha chuckled and said, "If I had an affair with such a beautiful and rich woman, I would be so stupid that I would give her all my heart and become my son-in-law right away, not just a fisherman."

"So, this is the difference between us and the village director. We are not on the same level at all." (End of Chapter)
