In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

After calling Li Xiaorong, Li Duoyu took out a thick stack of business cards and called them one by one.

The first person he called directly was the owner of the sugar factory, because he was the last business card Li Duoyu received during this period, so when he took it out, he was naturally the first one.

"Boss Lin, I'm Li Duoyu from Dandan Island~"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the line: "Director Li, you finally installed the phone."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "This is my phone number. Please keep it for me, Boss Lin."

"Okay, I'll take notes, and we'll get together someday and have dinner together."

"Excuse me, is Director Zhang here?"

"Who are you?"

"I am Li Duoyu from Dandan Island."

"The one who grows kelp, sorry, Director Zhang is out on business."

Li Duoyu was just like a telephone salesman, calling out business cards one by one and telling the other party his phone number.

After Li Duoyu played a round.

I find it really difficult to make phone calls these days, and more than half of the phone numbers are unreachable.

Finally, Li Duoyu tried to make an international long-distance call, but this was even more difficult to get through.

Li Duoyu opened the phone book that Section Chief Huang gave him and dialed a number. In those days, it was difficult to make an international call.

You must go through an international operator before you can make calls abroad.

"Hello, this is the international station. May I know where to call?"

"North Point, Hong Kong Island, the phone number is"

"Okay, I'll transfer you."

Zhou Xiaoying was very nervous and excited. After the phone was installed, she couldn't wait to chat with her grandmother.

But it took a long time.

The voice coming from the other end of the phone was not grandma's, but the voice of the operator just now.

"Sorry, sir, the number you dialed was not connected. Please call again next time."

After saying that, the other party seemed to be very busy and hung up the phone directly.

Li Duoyu, who was holding the microphone, was stunned for a moment, and then comforted Zhou Xiaoying who was standing beside him: "It's okay, we have a phone, you can call anytime you want, and you will always get through."

Zhou Xiaoying said distressedly: "It's expensive to make a phone call. This kind of long-distance call should be even more expensive."

Li Duoyu hummed:
"What are you afraid of? It's only the price of one eel if it dies in a minute. There are so many eels in our pond. You can even chat with your grandma on the phone."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned, quite puzzled: "Telephone, what is this?"

"Haha, this is it."

Li Duoyu said casually, "It means that you have been on the phone for a long time and the phone is so hot that you can use it to make porridge."

Zhou Xiaoying was speechless and said, "What a mess. Although we have made some money, we can't be too extravagant or wasteful. After all, we still owe the bank a large sum of money."

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying screaming seriously.

Li Duoyu quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Yes, my wife taught me the right thing."

Seeing Li Duoyu admit his mistake on the spot, Zhou Xiaoying was stunned: "No, why do you sound so perfunctory? I am serious about this. We really can't be so extravagant."

In her previous life, Xiaoying did not spend so much time with A Niang, but in this life, Li Duoyu felt that Xiaoying and A Niang were becoming more and more alike.

Seeing that she still wanted to continue talking.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Li Duoyu sealed her mouth without warning.

Zhou Xiaoying twisted Li Duoyu's waist hard, her face flushed with shame: "This is the factory, not home."

"Then go home and continue."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed helplessly: "Hurry up and do your work."

Women are more delicate in their thoughts.

It's normal to mumble.

But as long as we take practical action and shut her mouth, she will stop reciting.

This time the call went through smoothly. Li Duoyu greeted the other party directly in Japanese, and the other party replied enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, long time no see."

Li Duoyu called suddenly. The eel buyer, Norio Oda, was very happy and said that the live fish boat was ready and would set off immediately when the time came and would ensure arrival on time.

At the same time, he also talked about President Kawai Kojima, saying that the president missed the time they spent fishing together and the record of tuna he caught, which has not been broken to this day.

A blink of an eye.

The day of the groundbreaking ceremony has arrived.

Many villagers from Xiasha Village spontaneously went to the shrimp farm to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

It was early in the morning, and it was still dark.

Li Duoyu was dragged by his mother to the Tianhou Temple to worship, and even made a big pig head, which was very formal.

Speaking of which, if Li Duoyu hadn’t thought it was unnecessary, the older generation on the island would have wanted to invite Mazu to attend the opening ceremony of his shrimp farm.

Li Duoyu thought that it was not impossible. After all, Mazu was invited to the launching ceremony of fishing boats, and seafood farming should also be under the jurisdiction of Mazu. There was no problem at all.

It’s a pity that a big leader came today. In a sense, all of them are atheists.

If they really wanted to invite Mazu over, they would not be able to please either side, so Li Duoyu rejected the proposal and decided to proceed with caution.

As the time for shipping the eels was approaching, Li Yaoguo and Chen Wenchao had to stay behind to guard the eel factory on the opening day.

Li Duoyu invited Lao Li to the opening ceremony. After all, he was the boss of the shrimp farm, and Lao Li was the boss's boss.

But he is very stubborn.

He refused to go no matter what and insisted on staying to help him look after the eel factory, and instead started to educate Li Duoyu.

"You have to prioritize things. If everyone leaves, won't that just be the right time for someone to poison your eel factory?"

As it happened that she was in the fifth grade and was about to take graduation exams these days, Zhou Xiaoying did not attend the opening ceremony.

Old Li didn't go, Xiaoying didn't go, and naturally A'niang wouldn't go either. As a result, on the day of the opening ceremony, only Li Duoyu came to his family.

However, it was right for them not to come. This groundbreaking ceremony was really busy.

Originally, Li Duoyu only planned to hold a simple opening ceremony, but he didn't expect that the big boss would confirm to come.

The specifications were improved on the spot.

The town and the county immediately became nervous.

These two days, they even listed his opening ceremony as the most important thing, and every detail had to be taken into consideration.

However, these tedious things are really not Li Duoyu's strong point. Even Chen Jianghe, who has worked in the county, feels a headache.

How should the words on the banner be written, how many seats should be placed on the podium, and how should the names of the guests be labeled?

Left or right?

Fortunately, the county had long guessed that Li Duoyu might not be able to handle it, so two days before the ceremony, they specially transferred two female comrades who were usually in charge of various ceremonies to come and temporarily form a conference affairs group to ensure the smooth progress of the groundbreaking ceremony.

And Li Duoyu actually knew one of them, who was Chen Jianghe’s girlfriend, Zhang Xiuqin.

This woman looks ordinary, but she is very efficient at her job. Upon asking, I found out that she was originally in charge of meeting affairs and etiquette in the county committee.

After Zhang Xiuqin got the guest list, she immediately said to everyone, "There must not be enough chairs for the guests. Add another row."

“But there are no more chairs in the factory.”

Zhang Xiuqin looked at the bamboo chairs and frowned, saying, "Why not just replace them all and call a car to go to the guesthouse and borrow the chairs for the meeting."

"Bring some tea sets as well."

"In addition, after the meeting, we have to arrange a bus to take some of the guests back."

Looking at Zhang Xiuqin's busy back, Chen Jianghe put his arm around Li Duoyu's shoulder and said, "How is it, my girlfriend is amazing, isn't she? Does she seem to be very decisive when doing things?"

Li Duoyu nodded.

"I am indeed better than you. I am just wondering, how did you catch up with him?"

Chen Jianghe said proudly: "You can't judge a book by its cover, okay? Although I, Chen Jianghe, am unknown, I also have my strengths. It's just that Director Li is not good at discovering them."

Li Duoyu looked him up and down and said, "Now I realize that this guy is even more shameless than me!"

Chen Jianghe laughed and said, "Being thick-skinned is also a skill. Only when you are shameless can you cling to your thigh."

“This is really an amazing skill.”

Li Duoyu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and suddenly remembered a sentence: If a person has no shame, he is invincible.

While everyone was busy, his uncle Chen Dongqing was most worried about his speech and kept muttering beside him:

"Have you memorized the speech?"

Li Duoyu said casually:
"Don't worry, I've memorized it." Li Duoyu would never tell him that he had forgotten about this matter because of the poisoning in the eel factory in the past two days.

I remembered the general content and direction of the manuscript, but I didn't really memorize it. To be honest, Li Duoyu felt that if he read the speech according to the manuscript.

Just like watching the short videos and the Northern Smecta News Broadcast, it’s too old-fashioned.

If he really read it from beginning to end, Li Duoyu would probably get goosebumps all over his body.

Li Duoyu looked at his watch. It was around ten o'clock in the morning and more and more people came to the shrimp farm.

There were several army green jeeps parked in the parking lot, and some young people from the village who had come to attend the groundbreaking ceremony came over to look at the cars.

"Brother Guang, you know a lot about cars, so please introduce them to us." Li Qingguang, who already liked cars very much, began to explain them to them on the spot.

"The most common model is the BJ212, but this one should be the latest version."

"This one is an Arlo 244. It's imported from Romania. It's not cheap."

The young man couldn't help but ask: "Where is Romania? Is it close to us?"

Li Qingguang scratched his head: "I don't know either. I have to look at the world map to find it."

At this moment, an imported Crown stopped in the parking lot. Li Qingguang took a breath and his eyes could not stop showing his love for the car.

That luster, those headlights. Li Qingguang really wanted to touch them.

This time, even without Li Qingguang’s introduction, everyone knew that this was a good car.

But when the woman from the back seat of the car came out, these young comrades, who had just reached adulthood, all dared not look at that woman.

A black tight dress, elegant and majestic, perfectly outlines the figure.

Compared with her, the women in the village are not on the same level at all. At this moment, she gives people the feeling of a dazzling star.

A young man nicknamed Potato said, "I think I've seen this woman on our island, the one who had an affair with Director Li."

"To be honest, our Director Li and her look really good together."

Li Qingguang knocked Potato's head on the spot: "Don't talk nonsense, okay? Otherwise, my brother might have to kneel on the washboard when he gets home tonight."

After Chen Yuansu got off the car, Li Duoyu hurried forward to greet her. She didn't expect that the manager of the Japanese restaurant also came with her.

"Director Li, long time no see."

After the two sides briefly greeted each other, Li Duoyu invited them to the reception room.

There are many powerful people gathered there now. When they meet, they immediately take out their business cards and start chatting with each other.

Not a moment later.

A Coaster stopped in the parking lot, and everyone in the reception room ran out to greet it.

After seeing the beige and gold Toyota Coaster, Li Qingguang took a breath and said, "Everyone, remember to stay away from this kind of car because all the people sitting inside are leaders."

During the reception, Li Duoyu was pushed to the front. After seeing the first person getting off the car, Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Hello, leader."

What shocked him was that the person following behind him looked a bit like Zhao Jialu.

What surprised Li Duoyu a little was that Zhao Jialu did not come with the people from the Fisheries Bureau, but was mixed in this car.

After the big boss came down, he looked around and said, "You have found a treasure again. This is a good place. Let's go and take a look at your shrimp farm first. I loaned you so much money, let's see if you can make a splash."

Followed by.

Led by Li Duoyu, a group of leaders visited the shrimp farm, and this time the explanation was originally given by Li Duoyu to Chen Dongqing.

But this guy was not strong enough at the critical moment and actually had diarrhea. Until now, he is still in the toilet and refuses to come out.

Looking at the breeding ponds that were constantly bubbling with water, the leaders present were quite surprised. They had visited many places before.

But so far, Li Duoyu's place seems to have the most technological content.

The big boss snorted, "It all depends on what the equipment is used for. The most important thing is the results."

"Hello, leaders, please look at the pond over here." Li Duoyu said, and directly took out a net to scoop up a net of shrimp fry from the pond, and introduced: "This is our fast-growing No. 1 fry, and the broodstock are all large shrimps weighing more than grams."

After seeing the shrimp fry, the senior leader was a little surprised: "They have already hatched. Are all these ponds full of shrimp fry?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Every pond is full of shrimp fry."

After hearing this, even Chen Yuansu was shocked. He saw Li Duoyu catch so many shrimp fry with just a scoop.

If all the ponds in the factory are filled with shrimp fry, how many shrimp fry would this factory have?

The leader pointed to the No. 2 pool next to him and asked, "What do these numbers mean?"

"This number is prepared for research. The broodstock is different. This pond is called Wenjian No. 2."

Seeing so many shrimp fry, Director Wu couldn't help but ask, "Director Li, how are you going to sell these shrimp fry?"

Li Duoyu saw Director Zhang from the Fisheries Research Institute and said with a smile, "We don't plan to sell shrimp fry this year."

"If you don't sell them, can you raise so many shrimp fry?"

Li Duoyu explained: "It is like this, Director Wu, the shrimp species are still unstable. To tell you the truth, the cultivation rate of the shrimp species I have is less than one tenth."

"This time, our shrimp farm and the Fisheries Research Institute are planning to cooperate with a group of high-quality shrimp farmers. We will only send seedlings, not sell them."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned again. The leader asked curiously: "Why not sell the seedlings?"

Li Duoyu said to the leaders present: "I will explain this to you at the next place."

After visiting the shrimp farm, Li Duoyu led the leaders to the newly built laboratory building and said, "This is a high-quality shrimp seedling breeding base that we have built in cooperation with aquatic researchers."

Li Duoyu continued:

"There are indeed many shrimp farmers in China, but they are faced with problems such as poor quality of shrimp fry and low growth rate. Some shrimp farmers can only catch shrimp fry from the wild, and the return on farming is not high."

"Our laboratory was built specifically for this purpose. Our original intention was very simple, which was to cultivate shrimp fry with a higher growth rate, thereby increasing the income of shrimp farmers."

Li Duoyu had just finished speaking when the senior leader affirmed in public: "I think your idea is very good. We must master the technology in our own hands, so that when the outside world suddenly cuts off, we will not be thrown into disarray."

After hearing this, everyone immediately knew who the leader was talking about. At the same time, everyone finally understood why the leader had always been lukewarm towards Hai Xin.

The core point is probably here. They thought they were doing it very secretly, but everyone knows that Haixin’s shrimp fry are not produced by themselves.

If this is due to political factors and the other party stops providing shrimp fry, their entire factory will go bankrupt immediately.

After all, the sudden withdrawal of the Soviet Union cut off all technical support, causing great damage to the country's development.

The leader then said:

"As cadres, you should learn from our Director Duoyu. Short-term foreign exchange earnings are indeed important, but we must also have a long-term vision."

After that, he said to the secretary beside him: "Director Li is now one of us. He spoke well today. You can make an appointment with him some other day to interview him alone. We will try to publish it in Red Flag."

After hearing this.

Everyone took a deep breath, and even Chen Yuansu widened her eyes. She also grew up in this circle, so she naturally knew the value of this publication.

After the visit.

Next, it was the process of the opening ceremony, but when everyone started giving speeches, Chen Dongqing was confused because he had written three manuscripts in total.

Except for the speech by County Mayor Tao, the other two were very different from what he wrote. The one prepared for the senior leader was completely changed.

But this kid Li Duoyu didn't even memorize the script. Although the main structure was roughly the same, the words were completely different and not formal at all.

County Magistrate Tao looked at Director Zhang Qingyun, and Director Zhang stared at Chen Dongqing with a dark face.

Chen Dongqing felt like he was about to explode. This kid spoke too casually and too outrageous.

Li Duoyu didn't even read the manuscript: "Actually, I don't know what the future of the Minlong Shrimp Farm will be like. If I say too much, someone will definitely say I'm bragging, but if I say too little, it's too stingy."

"Finally, I can only say that we at Minlong have always had a goal, which is to strive to become world-class and work hard to open up overseas markets."

After hearing this slogan, everyone present was obviously stunned and looked at each other.

Chen Dongqing's face darkened as he looked up at the sky. At this moment, he really wished that the world would be destroyed. This kid didn't play by the rules at all.

No matter how well they had done before, the opening ceremony was ruined once these words were spoken. Chen Dongqing couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn it, can't they be more low-key?"

But what no one expected was that the big boss fell for it and took the lead in applauding: "You're very courageous. I'll remember this. If you don't achieve world-class results, I'll make trouble for you."

next second.

Everyone present also started to applaud.

Chen Dongqing was confused.

No way, such a ridiculous statement could actually pass.

In the guest seats, an old man with gray hair on his temples said to Chen Yuansu, "Xiao Su, is this Duoyu married and has children?"

Zhao Jialu came over and said, "We're already married, and his son still calls me uncle."

The old man gave him a look of disdain:
"I was talking to Xiao Su, I didn't ask you."

Zhao Jialu had a bitter face. This person was so thorough in demolishing the bridge after crossing it. After having a great-grandson, he completely ignored him as his grandson.

The old man sighed and said, "In the future, when you look for a partner, you should look for someone like this. This young man looks very reliable at first glance."

Chen Yuansu smiled and said, "Grandpa, I can't find it." (End of this chapter)
