In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Good news never comes out.
Bad things travel thousands of miles.

The news of the failure of exports from Haixin Eel Factory in Nanri Town spread at an alarming speed.

That evening, at the intelligence office at the entrance of the village at Dandan Island Pier, a group of people who were enjoying the cool air started a discussion.

The fishmonger Lao Mi couldn't help but sigh: "Such a big ship must cost a lot of money for the fuel for a round trip."

Some people were curious and asked, "Does anyone know why Haixin's eels can't be sold?"

"It seems that he failed the quarantine. I heard that it seems that he failed all the inspections."

"That shouldn't be the case. Although Hai Xin is bad, she is still quite capable. Could it be that the rules have become stricter this year? If so, will our Director Li be able to pass this year?"

"It's definitely no problem. Our Director Li is an expert in raising eels. He's much better than Hai Xin's gang. I heard from Zhu Xiuhua that when Hai Xin asked Director Li to come over to treat eel diseases, guess how much he charged in one lump sum?"

Everyone present widened their eyes and asked, "How much?"

"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me now, or I'll kick your ass."

"30,000 per time."

"Fuck, no wonder our Director Li is so rich, this money really is like what the wind brought in."

"Have you heard from others that the eel buyers in the island country were so angry that they added water to the big ship overnight and went directly back to the island country."

"No wonder I found that cargo ship moving so fast when I went out to sea last night. It looked like it was very angry."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Hai Xin is going to have a hard time ending this."

A fisherman snorted, "It would be best if Hai Xin died. The poisoning of Director Li's pond was 100% directed by them. From now on, Director Li will be the only one in charge. When it comes to aquaculture, Dandan Island has the final say."

"It's true. The more powerful Director Li is, the more we can benefit from him. Now, whenever I go to the market, as soon as I say I'm from Dandan Island, the girls will look at me twice."

The young man named Chen Youjin asked, "Uncle Lu, you have a TV at home, why don't you watch TV at home?"

Old Lu snorted, "They are all a bunch of women, watching some kind of love story, crying and shedding tears while watching. At my age, I have goose bumps all over my body."

When he thought of his daughter Yanyan, crying her heart out and almost dying, Old Lu felt so embarrassed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. His live-in son-in-law wished he could live permanently in Li Duoyu's shrimp farm.

The young man said, "I don't like watching those people who are in love to death. Monkeys are more interesting."

Li Duoyu, who was doing biological testing at the eel factory, naturally also heard the news, but he was not surprised by the result.

To Li Duoyu, this was bound to happen. He asked Chen Wenchao, "Xiaochao, how do you deal with the eels at the Haixin Eel Factory?"

"I also heard from Liu Yun that the eel factory has hired dozens of fish butchers these past two days, and they are constantly killing eels."

"That's it."

After the last opening ceremony, Li Duoyu had briefly mentioned the counterfeit incident to his leader.

What he didn't expect was that his leader already knew everything and said that a special task force had been set up to investigate the matter thoroughly.

There are only two companies raising eels at present, so there is actually nothing to investigate, but there must always be evidence.

Zhang Sanming's move this time is so big that the task force probably doesn't even need him to provide any information, as they have already been keeping an eye on them.

Leave professional matters to professionals, and he should just concentrate on doing his own thing.

In three days, the big ship coming to buy his eels will arrive. He must grit his teeth and not make any mistakes.

Just then, a metal boat with the words "Fishery Administration" printed on it docked at the Dandan Island Pier.

Several men in suits and leather shoes came down from the boat. One of them asked Zhao Dahai, "Little comrade, which way is Director Li Duoyu's house?"

Although Zhao Dahai felt that these people must be important, he couldn't just tell them about Director Li's home.

"Who are you?"

"What do you want to see our Director Li for?"

The fishmonger Lao Mi at the side quickly scolded Zhao Dahai: "How come you don't have any vision at all? This is our parent official, County Magistrate Tao."

"It was him who presented you with the award not long ago."

Zhao Dahai smiled bitterly inwardly. He really wanted to say that these officials all looked the same and he really couldn't tell them apart.

Lao Mi quickly said, "County Magistrate Tao, I'm really sorry, Director Li should not be at home, he is at the eel factory."

"Can you take me there?"

"No problem, I'll take you there right away." Lao Mi looked excited. He didn't even look at the fish stall and took his leader directly to the eel factory.

Tao Jingyuan was extremely upset by the events at the Haixin Eel Factory and hadn't slept well for two nights.

Although it was a mess left by the predecessor, it was still difficult to completely deny it when things came to this, if the eel buyer really wanted compensation.

The county’s foreign exchange quota will be reduced, and it will be even more difficult to apply to purchase some imported equipment.

It just so happened that he also agreed with the textile base proposal put forward by Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao of Shangfeng Town.

The current demand for the entire clothing industry is very large, but traditional textile equipment can no longer keep up with the needs of the times.

A large amount of imported equipment needs to be purchased, and all of these require foreign exchange quotas. There is not much in the county originally. If hundreds of thousands are deducted again, Tao Jingyuan really wants to curse.

Speaking of which, Tao Jingyuan really had a lot of opinions about his predecessor Zhang Xianjin. Such a good place was not developed well, but all sorts of messes were made. People were demoted to the mountains, and there was no place left for him.

He has just taken office for a short time and the Haixin Eel Factory is about to go bankrupt. Now he has to keep a close eye on Minlong and hope that there won't be any more trouble.

When a group of people arrived at the eel factory, they were stopped on the spot by Zhu Jianguo, who had a ferocious look on his face, even though he only said a normal sentence to them.

"Whatever you want, you can't go into the eel factory."

But looking at Zhu Jianguo's face, one can tell that there is a strong smell of gunpowder.

Lao Mi said, "Jianguo, this is County Magistrate Tao. He wants to see Director Li. Go and notify him right away."

"Okay, you guys wait here for a moment, I'll go inform Li Duoyu."

The officials who were accompanying them were all stunned. They were not even invited in for tea first, but were just left standing at the door?
If it were someone else, the people behind County Magistrate Tao would probably start scolding him, but if it was Director Li, it would be hard to scold him.

After all, everyone saw the groundbreaking ceremony, and the superiors had high hopes for this village director.

Li Duoyu ran out in a hurry. He was also very surprised when he saw County Magistrate Tao and the others. He quickly apologized, "County Magistrate Tao, Director Xu, I'm really sorry. Something happened in my eel factory recently, so the security is quite strict."

"Understood, understood."

Tao Jingyuan smiled and said, "Duoyu, we came to visit you unexpectedly this time just to see how the eels in your eel factory are doing."

When Li Duoyu heard this, he knew why these people came.

"It's okay. Please rest assured, leaders. I'll take you to have a look." Li Duoyu took them to visit the eel factory and brought them to the room specially used for testing.

In addition to the microscope, Li Duoyu also purchased a number of simple equipment to test the water quality of the fish pond and the parasites on the eels.

These basic things are relatively simple. Even though my second brother is not a fishery major, he can learn them after studying for a while.

After seeing these devices, County Magistrate Tao, Director Xu and his party were all very surprised, especially when they saw the testing diary hanging on the wall.

Every day is written in great detail, and is filled with various test values.

pH: No change.

Ammonia nitrogen content: qualified.

Water temperature: 27.8 degrees.

The surface of the eels was normal, no parasites were found in the eels' gills, and no water was found in the eels' stomachs.
In the test log, every test item not only has someone sign it, but also has someone review it.

"Director Li, do you have to remember this every day?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "It used to be tested once a day, but now it's tested twice a day."

After going through this whole process, all the leaders were stunned. This was not just a small eel factory. The breeding model was more rigorous than that of a large factory.

Haixin Eel Factory also has these things, but the inspection diary is so cookie-cutter that it feels like it’s just a job to get by.

County Magistrate Tao couldn't help but look at Li Duoyu again. To be honest, he didn't have much contact with this young man, just a few times. Even after visiting the shrimp farm, he still felt that he might have some relationship with the big leader.

But after visiting the eel farm, he finally understood what the leader meant by learning from Comrade Li Duoyu.

This is too stable!
This doesn't look like something a young person can do. It's clearly the work of an experienced and steady master craftsman.

"Director Li, this is really great."

Tao Jingyuan couldn't help but patted Li Duoyu on the shoulder: "If everyone was like you, I wouldn't have to be unable to sleep at night."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Would you like to have dinner together tonight? I'll treat you to seafood from the island."

Tao Jingyuan sighed and said, "Maybe next time. You should have heard about Hai Xin's situation. I have to rush to Rongcheng to report to my boss."

"Oh, I almost forgot to ask you something. Haixin's eel boats are here. When will yours come over?"

Li Duoyu replied: "Tomorrow, Director Wu and people from the Foreign Trade Bureau will also come."

Tao Jingyuan frowned slightly. To be honest, it was Zhang Xianjin who was not doing his job. It seemed that Li Duoyu's foreign exchange earning quota was recorded in the Fisheries Bureau.

If I really get fined, the county won't have much quota left. I have to come and join in the fun tomorrow no matter what, and see if I can snatch some meat from Old Wu's mouth.

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Then I will prepare some more seafood to entertain the leaders."

Tao Jingyuan said: "You don't need so much seafood, just grilled eel will do."

"no problem."

Not long after the county leaders left, the ferry used to transport cars from the neighboring island county appeared at the Beilanling Wharf.

After a few melodious whistles sounded, Li Duoyu hurriedly led his people to the new pier, and at the same time, he had a lot of red envelopes in his hands.

Last year, the poor draft at the old dock made loading eels extremely difficult.

There is a new dock this year, but the eel factory is still some distance away from the new dock, and relying on the few tractors on the island for transportation is far from enough.

Li Duoyu simply spent a little more money and hired eight farm vehicles for transportation, and most of these workers were found by Brother Ou.

But the island has a very difficult development bottleneck, which is that it is too difficult to enter and exit, in order to transport these agricultural vehicles to the island.

Li Duoyu even went to the Nianggong Wharf in the neighboring Haidao County to rent their ferry.

After Li Duoyu arrived at Beilanling Wharf, he helped direct the ferry. As the large iron sheet on the bow fell down, the farm vehicles inside drove out one by one in an orderly manner.

Li Duoyu shouted with a loud speaker: "Don't be in a hurry, go slowly, safety first."

Every time a car came out, Li Duoyu gave it a greeting gift: "Master, thank you for your hard work."

When eight four-wheeled farm vehicles all stopped near the eel factory, the villagers were all dumbfounded.

The children also came to watch the fun.

"Where did all these cars come from?"

Some villagers couldn't help but envy: "When will our island have such a ferry to transport cars?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will be done soon. As long as everyone has money to buy a car, I will get a ferry to the island."

"Director Li, you said this."

Li Duoyu smiled. He was not bragging. If Dandan Island wanted to develop, a ferry would be indispensable.

It may not be long before Li Duoyu plans to build a medium-sized ferry when Beilan Territory starts to develop.

Not only can it transport cars, but it can also transport some large goods. Maybe in the future, it will even be able to transport containers.

All shareholders came to the meeting at the western-style building with the words "Haixin Group" written on it near the Heping Wharf of Ludao Island.

Everyone's face looked very ugly.

This time, the major shareholder who rarely shows up in public was present in person, with a gloomy face throughout the whole process, and waited until everyone arrived.

The major shareholder asked on the spot:
"Where is Zhang Sanming?"

Sun Xiangdong replied, "He has been dealing with eels in Nanri Town these past two days. He said he wanted to package them and sell them directly to the mainland to reduce the losses caused by the failure to export them."

The major shareholder snorted coldly: "What do you usually do? You finally feel anxious now."

The major shareholder sighed and said, "Last night, the head of the Foreign Trade Bureau called me directly and asked us to compensate Mr. Fujiwara for all his losses."

After hearing this.

No one present dared to raise their heads, let alone fart.

Seeing that they were all silent, the major shareholder announced on the spot: "All losses this time will be deducted from everyone's dividends."

When everyone heard that their bonuses would be deducted, their faces changed drastically. Someone whispered, "This is clearly Zhang Sanming's fault."

Seeing that someone finally dared to speak up, the major shareholder slammed the table fiercely and said, "Did you all sign the agreement that he raised eels? Did you also agree to his importing of drugs?"

"Now, stop using all imported drugs. If we can't export our shrimps in the future, you all get out of here." (End of this chapter)
