In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 289 If a person has no faith, he will not stand
Li Duoyu put the fireworks in the utility room next to the house. He would not dare to put such flammable and explosive items in the house casually.

Afterwards, he went to the eel factory and picked up some dried kelp and dried oysters, which he had originally stocked up to sell during the Chinese New Year.

But when I think about the fact that the other party is from the mainland and is in the dry goods business, maybe the other party thinks the quality is good and it can open a channel for sales to the mainland.

When Li Duoyu pushed the trolley to the dock, he found that the man named Liu Neng had been surrounded by the village's elders and aunties, and there were several baskets of dry goods piled in front of him.

Liu Neng said: "Folks, don't be anxious, I will collect them one by one slowly."

"You don't believe us, my dried razor clams are 100% good."

"My dried oysters were just dried this year, so they are guaranteed to be fresh."

"Look at my dried fish, each one is big and fat."

Everyone was vying to be the first to sell their own dry goods to them, which made him feel a little at a loss.

After seeing Li Duoyu coming, Liu Neng hurriedly waved hello and said with a slight embarrassment: "Director Li, the folks are so enthusiastic."

Li Duoyu glanced at these uncles and aunties, frowned and said, "Can't we line up properly? We have to rob everything for sale."

Followed by.

Li Duoyu glanced at the basket of dried oysters closest to him. The two layers on top looked big, fresh, and of good quality.

Li Duoyu directly reached into the basket and stirred it, then grabbed a handful and found that the bottom one was half smaller.

He put it in front of his nose and took two breaths. It was already smelly. Li Duoyu said slightly angrily: "Whose is this basket of oysters?"

A skinny old man, like a child who made a mistake, raised his hand and said: "Mine."

Li Duoyu said in a deep voice: "What we do business with is integrity. Don't just do a one-time business just because you think someone is from out of town. You just pick the basket back."

Seeing Li Duoyu directly asking him to pick it back, the other fishermen instantly became nervous, but one fisherman also stood up and said.

"Village director, Lao Tao's family has always been in trouble. How about you let him keep the good ones and pick out the bad ones."

Other villagers also echoed.

"Yes, those people in the town are even more outrageous. Only the top floor is good. Lao Tao's products are at least good on the top three floors."

Seeing that these villagers were getting more and more reasonable with their talk, Li Duoyu said on the spot: "I brought the people. The dry goods on Dandan Island are good. I also boasted about the cowhide. I will give you two choices. One is to pick up these dry goods. Choose again, and the other one is, I take the person away directly and treat them as if they haven’t been here today.”

The fishermen present fell silent, and then the fisherman named Lao Tao picked up the dried oysters.

"Village director, it's all my fault. I'll go back and pick out the dried oysters and bring the good ones over."

After seeing Lao Tao leave.

Li Duoyu then planned to check the second basket of dried razor clams. A man named Tian Dajiao hurriedly said: "No, I'll go back and pick some. I'll be back soon."

There were originally more than 20 people, but a dozen of them ran away in the blink of an eye, leaving only five or six more honest villagers behind.

Li Duoyu said helplessly: "Brother Liu, I'm so sorry. People in the village love to take advantage."

Liu Neng smiled and handed over a cigarette: "Director Li, this kind of thing is actually normal. I'm used to it."

"That's not okay. I brought you to the island to buy good things, not to collect rags."

In order to reduce losses, it has almost become a common phenomenon for fishermen to mix good and bad fish for sale.

In the previous life, the aquatic products company run by the Wang brothers liked to do this. As a result, buyers and seafood eaters thought it was a poor product when they heard the word Dandan Island.

Once your reputation is ruined, it will not only harm you in the end, but also the next generation.

After a while, the villagers came back carrying dry goods again, but the quantity was twice as much as before. Li Duoyu took a quick look and said: "This is pretty much the same. It would have been better if we had done this earlier."

After Liu Neng took a look at these dry goods, he said with a smile on his face: "Folks, these dry goods of yours are of good quality. Let's do this. At the price we just negotiated, I will pay an extra [-] cents per catty for these."

After hearing the price increase, all the villagers laughed. The old Tao just said to Li Duoyu: "Village director, when I go back, I will reflect on it and write you a review."

Li Duoyu couldn't help frowning and said: "Old Tao, you don't even know a few words, how can you write a self-criticism?"

"I just don't recognize a lot of words. I don't know any words. I've been working the night shift recently and I've learned a lot of words. At least I know more words than your father."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.Since Liu Neng didn't have enough money, Li Duoyu took out a small book and recorded the prices of the dry goods sold by the fishermen.

(Old peach, dried oyster 42 pieces.)
(Tian Da Jiao, dried razor clams and dried snails, 95 pieces.)
After registration.

The villagers helped load the dry goods onto the boat, and then Li Duoyu drove Liu Neng and the dry goods to Qingkou Pier in a sampan boat.

After arriving at the pier.

Liu Neng rushed to the town in a hurry, and came back in his agricultural vehicle about 40 minutes later.

When he came back, Li Duoyu found that the fireworks in their car were almost sold out.

Liu Neng's brothers and sons expressed their gratitude after seeing a whole boat of dried seafood.

At the same time, they looked at the seafood they purchased and couldn't help but sigh: "I have been making dried seafood for so many years, and this time I received the best quality."

On the way here, they also learned that the young man who bought their fireworks before was the village director of Xiasha Village on Dandan Island.

Liu Neng took out a dozen cash wrapped in plastic bags from the backrest of the agricultural vehicle and started counting them directly.

"Director Li, the total is one thousand four hundred and five, please click."

After Li Duoyu took the money, he counted it twice carefully: "Yes, it's one thousand four hundred and five, so I'll go back first."

"Wait, Director Li."

Liu Neng glanced at the fireworks on the farm truck and thought for a while: "We still have some fireworks here, and we have almost collected the dry goods. If we rush back at this time, maybe we can return home to celebrate New Year's Eve.

We don’t plan to continue selling these fireworks. Seeing that there are a lot of people in your village, we might as well sell them to you directly at the factory price. What do you think? "

Li Duoyu glanced at the fireworks in the car. They were five times more than what he had bought before. He would definitely not be able to set off all the fireworks by himself.

"Okay, you give me a price, and I'll see if I have the money to buy it."

Liu Neng said: "It's not expensive, it's one-third of the original price. The 24-ring one only costs five yuan, and the gophers only cost one yuan a pack."

After hearing the price, Li Duoyu was stunned on the spot: "The ex-factory price is so cheap, so it didn't cost me much more just now."

Liu Neng scratched his head and said awkwardly: "You can't calculate it that way. We transported these fireworks from Liuyang, and the freight is very expensive. If we give you this price, we will lose a lot of money in freight."

Li Duoyu smiled: "I was just kidding, yes, at this price, I would buy them all."

This time, Li Duoyu moved a lot of fireworks onto the fishing boat, spending a total of just over 200 yuan.

Before leaving, Liu Neng took out a piece of paper and wrote his home address on it, along with a phone number.

"Director Li, thank you very much for today. If you come to Liuyang in the future, you can come to us at the address above, or call this public phone and tell me your name."

"Okay, no problem. If I come to Liuyang in the future, I will definitely come and play with you."

Liu Neng got into the driver's seat of the agricultural vehicle, and then waved to Li Duoyu: "Director Li, let's go first."

"We have many mountainous roads here, so drive slower when you go home."

"Thank you, Director Li."

Watching the agricultural vehicle go away, Li Duoyu returned to his sampan boat and couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he watched the fireworks on half the boat.

"There are so many fireworks, they have to be put in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."

When Li Duoyu returned to the pier, all the uncles and aunties who had been selling dry goods were waiting for him. Seeing so many fireworks on Li Duoyu's boat, they all smiled and helped carry them to the pier.

Li Duoyu took out a wad of money and the piece of paper he used to record the money, and said, "Old Tao, 42 yuan, do you have eight yuan in change?"

Lao Tao looked helpless: "Eight yuan is a lot of money to me. Where is the change?"

Tian Dajiao on the side shouted: "I have some change, Duoyu, you can take it from me first."

"That's okay, Tian Dajiao is 95 yuan."
