In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chen Shulin's desk is full of thick documents. Shangfeng Town has been dealing with so many things recently that he can't even count them.

Some overseas Chinese came back and said they wanted to invest in textile enterprises and hoped that local organizations would help and cooperate.

A new warehouse is to be built at Qingkou Wharf, and the organization plans to turn it into a foreign trade port.

There are still a lot of chores in the town to deal with, and the biggest headache for Chen Shulin is the wind power test project declared by Dandan Island.

A few days ago, when he and Mayor Gao saw the document, they were both frightened and couldn't sleep for several nights.

I thought that the wind power test project was just a few "big fans" that could generate electricity.

Who would have thought that this was a major national-level scientific research project, and those "big fans" were all imported. The actual price of the four fans combined was estimated to be higher than the entire Shangfeng Town's annual income.

And for this wind test, the organization decided to lay a submarine cable to Dandan Island, and the cost was astronomical.

It can be said that from the moment this project was launched, it was constantly burning money.

Chen Shulin knew very well that there was a high probability that this project was not chosen by them, but he and Mayor Gao were the nominal applicants.

The pressure instantly became great. In the days after the project was launched, Mayor Gao scolded Li Duoyu frequently.

Because this is a pilot project, to put it harshly, it will only benefit Dandan Island and not much benefit to Shangfeng Town as a whole. If the project is not done well, people will be held accountable.

In addition, this matter somewhat bypassed the county committee, which made the county leaders very angry.

Chen Shulin took off his reading glasses and rubbed his temples. The document he just wrote was a project description and review letter to the county.

Although he was severely criticized by his superiors this time, Chen Shulin was very happy. He always remembered what his teacher said to him.

"As long as it is something that is beneficial to the people, there is no need to be too forward-thinking, otherwise it will not succeed."

For Chen Shulin, the most correct choice he has made in these years is to stay at the grassroots level, stay in Shangfeng Town, and not return to Rongcheng.

If he had gone back, he would now be the section chief of a certain department, meeting every day to write documents.

It is impossible to be exposed to so many projects and learn so many things.

But Chen Shulin also knew very well that all changes might start with the young man in front of him.

In a sense, Li Duoyu is really his "elegant person".

In the beginning, if he hadn't helped to make plans and catch the two fake Hong Kong Islanders, he would have been kicked back to Rongcheng, and he might even have received a demerit.

Without his wonderful speech at the fishery conference, Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Plant would not have landed in Shangfeng Town.

Without him taking the lead in aquaculture, Shangfeng Town would not have been able to add more than 100,000-yuan households in a year.

And the most important thing is that without him, the big leaders would not notice this small place like Shangfeng Town at all.

Chen Shulin was very grateful to Li Duoyu, and what made him most comfortable was that this young man was very easy to get along with, not pretentious and very humble.

I saw him eating three or four oranges.

Chen Shulin asked with a smile: "Aren't these oranges delicious?"

Li Duoyu said: "Anything that costs nothing is delicious. This thing is sold at our supply and marketing cooperative for a very expensive price. It costs 30 cents per pound."

"Cough cough."

A taller middle-aged man came to Secretary Chen's office: "You look like someone who is short of three cents, but the town's finances are very tight. In two days, we won't even be able to eat three cents of oranges." Come on, you, the richest man in Shangfeng Town, would you like to donate some money?"

Li Duoyu grinned and said: "Mayor Gao, I am really poor now. If you don't believe me, you can come to our island to see it. I have invested all the money I earned. In two days, maybe I will come again." I asked Director Zhang for a loan."

"What a sting."

Chen Shulin smiled: "Duoyu, how do you feel about being a teacher on Ludao these two months?"

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said: "It's painful but also happy. It's not that easy to be a teacher. I feel like breeding is easier."

Mayor Gao said disgustedly: "That's because being a teacher is not a good job and you can't make money. If you had money to make, you wouldn't say that."

"Mayor Gao, you are testing my D personality. I am not the kind of D officer who only cares about money."

Gao Tianyun narrowed his eyes and said, "How about donating some money to the town committee first? Our town's fishermen don't pay taxes, so our finances are really tight."

Chen Shulin smiled and said: "Old Gao, please restrain yourself. I'm afraid if you continue to talk, Director Li will really not dare to come to our place in the future."

Gao Tianyun hummed: "Because of this kid, everyone in the county has a problem with us. This month's financial situation is more serious than anything else. If I don't say a few words to him, I will feel particularly uncomfortable."

"what."

Li Duoyu scratched his head and finally understood that the moment Mayor Gao saw him, he was full of resentment. It turned out that this was the problem.

It seems that the "fishery tax" was only implemented in 86, but it may not be collected everywhere.

Anyway, after Li Duoyu was released from prison in his previous life, the fishermen on Dandan Island still did not have to pay taxes, and the organization encouraged entrepreneurship, so self-employed households like him did not have to pay taxes.

At present, Shangfeng Town's finances come entirely from superior allocations. If the relationship with the superiors is not good, they will definitely be manipulated to death.

Secretary Chen continued: "Duoyu, you should have read the documents I sent to your village."

Li Duoyu nodded: "I saw it."

Chen Shulin suddenly said seriously: "Because of this matter, Mayor Gao and I have already had two meetings, so I will give you a rough introduction to it, just to give you a break in advance."

"Ok."

"At present, this project has a national title and is fully responsible for our provincial science and technology commission. There are currently at least ten units cooperating on this matter."

Li Duoyu listened carefully.

After Secretary Chen finished speaking.

Mayor Gao added: "When we apply for this project, we have bypassed the county. Now those leaders have quite strong opinions on our town. It is estimated that the cooperation will not be very strong. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Anyway, you need to discuss this matter with the villagers. When the time comes, it's best to recruit a group of people to come over and help."

"As for the reception, our town committee really doesn't have any money right now. We may need your village committee to pay in advance and keep the receipt. We can find a suitable time or wait for the project to be completed and reimburse together."

"no problem."

Li Duoyu really didn't expect Mayor Gao to say such a thing. It seems that the finance of the town committee is really stuck.

But even if he had money, he would not dare to donate money to the town committee. This was obviously an internal issue.

If only he had helped.

It's like a disguised challenge to the county. When the time comes, there will be no good fruit to eat.

Li Duoyu didn't expect that such a project would cause so many problems. Speaking of which, he seemed to have offended the county leaders the last time he sold eels.

Fortunately, there is someone above me, otherwise the days ahead may not be easy.

The three of them discussed it for more than an hour.

Secretary Chen asked: "Duoyu, are you free these two days?"

Li Duoyu replied:

"should have."

Chen Shulin looked at his watch: "Well, how about this? The three of us will go directly to the city today, meet with the experts first, and then directly participate in the meeting tomorrow morning."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he had just returned to Dandan Island and was about to go to the city for a meeting. He was probably going to be nagged by his mother-in-law again.

"Okay, I'll go to the market and talk to my relatives."

"Okay, we'll wait for you here. We'll leave on time at five o'clock."

"sure, no problem."

After Li Duoyu left the town committee, he came to the market where he was going to the fair, and found that there were fewer people there, and residents of nearby villages also began to evacuate.

When he arrived, Li Duoyu met several people from the village, and they all greeted him with a smile.

"Director Li, we have just arrived at this point. Everyone is about to leave."

Li Duoyu smiled.

"I don't buy anything."

"If you don't want to buy anything, what are you doing here to attend the fair?"

"I just like places with lots of people."

"Hahaha."

Li Duoyu searched around the market and finally found Li Qingguang in a corner. He was pouring the unburned charcoal from the grill into the water.

In this way, the unburned charcoal can still be used after drying.

Almost all the oysters he brought were sold out. A simple wooden table was set up next to it. On the small bamboo stool, there were two people eating oysters. There were more than ten oyster shells on the table. It seemed that Eat a lot.

These two people were shirtless and had shaved heads. They looked very social and not easy to mess with.

Li Qingguang frowned. He already wanted to close the stall, but these two people kept eating here, and it seemed that they didn't intend to pay.

"Brother, bake us ten more oysters."

Li Qingguang, whose arms combined are not as thick as others' calves, can only pray that these two people don't cause trouble.

Just when he was about to continue grilling oysters, Li Duoyu came to him.

Li Qingguang said in surprise: "Brother."

"Let me do it instead."

Li Duoyu asked: "Would you like garlic sauce or original flavor?"

"Okay, you just pay the money first, and I'll close it right away."

"Knitting yarn, why are you so ignorant? You have been setting up the stall for so long, have you ever paid a management fee?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "How much is the management fee? Do you want me to report it to Director Zhang, Mayor Gao and Secretary Chen?"

After hearing this, the two people who were slurping the oysters suddenly turned back and looked at Li Duoyu in shock.

"Brother Yu, why are you here?"

"This my brother's barbecue stall sells my own oysters. Am I weird here?"

The two laughed awkwardly. "Brother Yu, I'm sorry, I really didn't know, this little brother is your brother."

After the two stood up, they wanted to leave.

Li Duoyu said solemnly: "One cent per piece, a total of twenty-one, two yuan a piece."

"Sorry, I forgot."

The two big men couldn't scrape together a dollar and a half from their four pockets, so they said awkwardly: "Brother Yu, I still owe you six cents. Can I pay you back next time?"

Li Duoyu waved his hand in disgust.

"You owe us six cents, don't forget it."

"Will not."

Seeing Brother Duoyu frighten the two street gangsters like this when he appeared on the scene, Li Qingguang couldn't help but asked curiously: "Brother, do you know them two?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "These two people used to be Brother Shui's mascots."

"Ah, then they weren't caught."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "These two people are very timid. They don't dare to mess around at all. The most they do is bluff you, so they don't get caught. If you had been tougher and took out the knife, they probably wouldn't have the guts." ”

"That's it."

After the two people left, Li Qingguang wiped the simple table clean, then cleaned up the oyster shells and prepared to close the stall.

Li Duoyu asked: "How are the sales today?"

Li Qingguang scratched his head: "I came late, so not all of them were sold out today, but after deducting the cost today, I should have made a small profit of five yuan."

"That's good."

If they attend the fair, they do it an average of nine to ten times a month. If they can earn five yuan each time, they can earn forty or fifty in a month.

In the village, this would be considered a middle-income income, and Li Shuguang also gave him the small sampan.

If you catch some fish and do some chores on days when you are not busy with the fairing, it is theoretically possible to earn hundreds of dollars a month.

"How about I treat you to a meal?"

Li Qingguang frowned and said: "Brother, it may not be possible. I have to catch the passenger ship back. If I don't catch it and stay in a guest house, it will be a big loss."

"By the way, brother, you didn't sail over today, don't you have to catch the passenger ship?"

"I have to rush to the city tonight. There is a meeting to be held early tomorrow morning. If you go back, tell Xiaoying for me."

"No problem, I'll tell Sister Xiaoying right away when I get back."

Li Duoyu helped Li Qingguang pack his things and asked by the way: "You have been working so hard recently, are you planning to save money to learn mechanical maintenance?"

Li Qingguang thought for a moment.

"Brother, I don't want to learn mechanical maintenance for the time being. I have a new goal now."

Li Duoyu asked in confusion: "What goal?"

Li Qingguang grinned, a little embarrassed: "I will tell you when I succeed."

"Is there a woman you like?"

Li Qingguang was startled for a moment, Brother Duoyu was so awesome, how could he guess so accurately?

"No, I'm not an adult yet."

"If you wait until you are an adult before you consider a woman, then the woman will belong to someone else. If you are looking for a woman, you need to be thick-skinned. Don't be a licking dog. You must stalk her as soon as possible."

Li Qingguang frowned and suddenly felt that it made sense, but he still couldn't help but asked: "Brother, what is dog licking?"

"You're like a dog licker. You don't even dare to confess your feelings, but you don't dare to pursue them. Every day, you imagine that your efforts will one day move the other person."

"I understand, is it Zhao Dahai's kind?"

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly.

"more or less."

Li Duoyu helped Li Qingguang move the barbecue equipment to the tractor.

Then, he simply waved goodbye.

And he also said to a hawker in a familiar position: "Boss, do you still have the bean curd?"

The boss asked curiously: "You know how to pick up the spots every time. I have two portions at the end. Do you want one to be sweet and one to be salty like before?"

"No, I'll order two sweets this time. I've been to other places in the past two months and the food there was too salty. I just want sweets now."

"Then I'll put more sugar for you."

"This is acceptable."

After Li Duoyu finished eating the tofu pudding, he followed Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao directly to take the bus to Rongcheng.

For the rest of the trip, Li Duoyu, like his younger brother, stayed with Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao, and stayed in a guest house that night.

The next day, we went directly to the Foreign Trade Center Hotel to attend the meeting.

There were quite a few people at this meeting, including a provincial cadre named Zhao. I don't know why, but he looked a bit like Zhao Jialu.

There were more than ten units participating in the meeting.

Even Teacher Xie Youzheng was there. He was sitting in the Construction Bureau, and he should have a temporary job there.

What surprised Li Duoyu the most was that the person presiding over the meeting was actually Secretary Huang Qingfeng.

The three of them were the smallest in the entire conference room and sat in the corner. However, all three of them were holding Shanghai brand notebooks and taking notes carefully.

Li Duoyu looked at the "participation information" and realized that the wind turbine was originally very large and difficult to transport and install.

The old pier is too small, and there are houses on both sides. If the windmill comes ashore from here, many houses will definitely be demolished.

In addition, there are still three to four kilometers from the old dock to the installation site. Building another road will extend the entire construction period.

It was decided to re-build a deep-water pier where large ships can dock at the site where the windmill was installed, and technicians have already surveyed the location.

In addition to this, a mountain road leading to the wind turbine erection point must be built so that transport trucks can transport the equipment there.

The Electricity Bureau said: "The original lines on the island are very aging, and it is recommended that they be completely replaced."

Mayor Gao couldn't help but mutter: "This time, your island will make a lot of money."

Li Duoyu was silent, but he was happy in his heart. The wind power project he applied for not only permanently solved the electricity problem of Dandan Island, but also built a brand new deep-water dock and a section of highway.

At the end of the meeting, Secretary Huang said: “This project requires all units to cooperate and strive to open a new chapter in wind power generation.”

After the meeting, Teacher Xie came over and said, "Director Li, congratulations."

"Teacher Xie, I'm really troubling you. I didn't know you went to the island so many times, otherwise I would have treated you well."

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities next."

To be honest, his contribution to society and the organization is actually not very great. The little foreign exchange he earns is simply not enough to cover the cost of this project.

Fortunately, the entire project is included in the national, provincial and municipal plans, and the project funds are all funded by the organization. Otherwise, who can afford this money.

When leaving, many department heads were chatting with Secretary Huang, and the leader's secretary, after greeting everyone, smiled and walked towards him, the village director.

"Duoyu, long time no see. I thought you were still teaching on Ludao?"

"Hello, Director Huang."

"The leader said that the quality of the eels produced by those assembly lines is not good, so you should use more snacks."

Li Duoyu understood instantly and hurriedly said: "You know, I will definitely not let the leader down, and I will definitely develop vigorously."

Huang Mi sighed: "You are usually so smart, why didn't you understand? What the leader meant was that the eels you sent last time were not as delicious as the ones I ate on the island the first time."

"Now you understand."

"understood."

Secretary Huang patted Li Duoyu on the shoulder: "Now we have electricity, work hard, that Principal Chen thinks very highly of you."

Li Duoyu scratched his head. Huang Mi talked to him on this occasion just to give him a platform.

"Okay, I will never let the organization down."

"By the way, haven't you written a report and submitted it to the organization recently?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, then grimaced, and immediately guessed that the leader was probably paying attention to his report.

"I just got back. I'll write it right after I get back to the island."

Huang Mi then said: "One more thing, do you want to join the Association for the Promotion of Foreign Exchange?"

This is a good organization. Once you join, you can follow the leaders to discuss business, and you can come into contact with many overseas Chinese.

"Am I qualified?"

Secretary Huang touched his chin: "It should be so. Your contribution to the last island country inspection was actually quite large. I heard Director Wu say that you still helped with the two big ships in our city."

"Then I'll join."

"I heard that your Japanese is good. During the Chinese New Year, we may have to go to Hong Kong Island. You'd better learn English."

"Ah~"

Going to Hong Kong Island?

At this moment, Li Duoyu suddenly remembered that Xiaoying's relatives seemed to be in Hong Kong Island, although they were likely to be scolded.

But he still tried to ask: "Boss, my English is really poor. Can I bring my family members? My wife's English is good."

"You kid, you can give me problems." Secretary Huang frowned and thought for a while: "If there is a place, I will try to save one for you."

"Thank you, leader."

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I didn't promise you." (End of Chapter)
