In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Lin Shengjin felt very disappointed. He wished he had not gotten involved in Hai Xin's mess. He looked at his female colleague, Jiang Zhu, who rarely spoke.

He is envious and jealous.

He suddenly remembered what his master said to him when he first entered the industry: if your ideas are not strong enough, then listen more, watch more, and do less. Young people can be ambitious, but it is not a good thing to show off too much.

Now I finally understand.

Jiang Zhu could be considered his junior sister, having arrived a year later than him. She had implemented her master's principle very well.

It seems that she has done nothing, and is not proactive or positive. She only does the tasks assigned to her by the bureau. She gives people the feeling that she is just following the routine and muddling through.

A week ago, no one was optimistic about her.

No one even thought that she would become the next director, but this mistake she made might very well send her to the position of director.

"Ugh!"

Lin Shengjin couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling extremely bitter in his heart. He had calculated everything, but it would have been better not to calculate at all. In the end, he calculated himself to death.

If he were given another chance to choose, he would never do business with someone like Zhang Sanming who only knows how to brag.

This time he was really screwed.

But to be honest, the person he hates the most now is Zhang Xianjin, who was the leader for him in the beginning. Can't he just lead Li Duoyu for me?
Why did you choose a piece of crap for him?

After the quarantine test was passed, the leaders present finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now they no longer had to be called to meetings to be criticized.

County Magistrate Tao, who had no time to eat breakfast, felt so hungry as soon as he relaxed that he said:
"Duoyu, we have been on the island for so long, you should at least entertain us."

Li Duoyu smiled. He had just asked these leaders if they wanted to have dinner first, but these people were focusing on the test and just said to wait a little longer.

"It's been prepared a long time ago. Thank you all leaders for your hard work. The village committee has prepared lunch for everyone."

County Magistrate Tao jokingly asked, “Are there any grilled eels today?”

"Yes, I baked it myself."

"I heard from my boss that your grilled eel tastes great. I have to try it out to see if it's as good as the legend says."

Before setting off, Li Duoyu also greeted the group of islanders on the transport ship and showed his hospitality.

Yang Kaihong had been pacing in the restaurant all day, with his neck stretched out, looking in the direction of the new pier.

His youngest son would run to the new dock from time to time and report to him: "Dad, they are still at the dock."

Yang Kaihong looked at her watch anxiously: "It's been so long since dinner time, why haven't you come to eat yet? How long do we have to wait?"

Li Duoyu ordered five tables of food from him two days ago and even paid a deposit in advance. Each table was prepared according to the highest standards on the island.

There are garlic lobster, premium deep-sea grouper, sashimi of real snapper, cabbage and swimming crab, and even the local version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

He has been busy with this matter for the past two days. Now the dishes are ready and his wife has come back to help. Now all that is missing is for these officials to come over for dinner.

Not long after, his youngest son said, "Dad, they are going back."

Yang Kaihong said to his wife, "Start a fire and cook the food directly."

But his wife frowned and said, "What if the leaders don't come to eat?"

"Believe me, if you don't eat at this time, you will be sore throated if you go on the boat."

Just as Yang Kaihong expected, these leaders came straight to their restaurant. As soon as Li Duoyu arrived, they immediately urged him to cook.

Maybe it was because they were really hungry, some people couldn't wait to eat the rice in the wooden barrel as soon as it was served.

"This wooden barrel rice tastes good."

Since Yang Kaihong had prepared the dishes in advance, and with the help of his wife and children, and even the neighbors came to help serve the dishes, the serving efficiency was very high.

However, the speed of serving the food could not keep up with the speed at which they ate. Often, the leaders would finish a dish soon after it was served.

Director Wu couldn't help but say, "Duoyu, the restaurant owner on your island has good cooking skills, and the food tastes great."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, it’s obvious that you are hungry.

To be honest, the leaders must have eaten these seafoods a lot on a regular basis, and Lao Yang's cooking skills are not that good. They are barely one level higher than home cooking, and are not even as good as the chefs in their unit.

It may also be that the stone in their hearts was finally put down, and all the leaders present enjoyed the meal very much.

But there were one or two who couldn't even drink the soup. One of them was Lin Shengjin from the Foreign Trade Bureau, and the other was allergic to seafood. As soon as he ate seafood, he would feel unbearable itching all over his body.

After confirming that the test had passed, more than 50 villagers from the eel factory all rolled up their sleeves and started working in the pond.

They had to catch all the eels in the ten eel ponds within half a day.

Some people on the shore pulled a trawl net that sank to the bottom and drove the eels onto the trawl net, while some of the people in the pond held scoop nets and some held dustpans, and they put all the eels on the trawl net into wooden barrels.

Lao Li on the shore kept shouting: "Be gentle, don't break the eel's skin."

"Wu Laosi, don't run in the pond, or you'll step on the eels to death."

Outside the eel factory.

The drivers of farm vehicles that came to transport eels first covered the back of the vehicle with a layer of tarpaulin, and then covered it with a layer of waterproof colorful plastic sheeting.

There is also some crushed ice mixed in it, and the only purpose of doing this is to cool the car and reduce the death of eels during transportation.

When the eel factory started catching eels, the announcer Lao Mao couldn't help but happily announce: "I have a good news to announce. The eels raised by our Director Li have passed the inspection and are now being loaded onto trucks."

After hearing this broadcast, the villagers of Xiasha Village were stunned at first, and then became very excited and happy.

If it were two years ago, when Li Duoyu made a lot of money, everyone would be jealous and envious, but it is different now.

Li Duoyu is the signature figure of Xiasha Village and even Dandan Island. The more powerful he is, the more proud the villagers will be.

This time, the Haixin Eel Factory in Nanri Town failed to sell the eels, but Li Duoyu did it, which proves that their island is quite powerful.

Nowadays, many villagers, when chatting with outsiders, often say:
"Director Li from our village~~"

"Li Duoyu and I were classmates in elementary school and we even sat at the same table before."

"Li Duoyu was very naughty when he was young. He even broke my family's water tank."

"Our Director Li liked me when we were in elementary school, but unfortunately I rejected him."

When the broadcast occurred, people at Dandan Island Primary School could also hear it. Zhou Xiaoying, who was writing the key points on the blackboard, was obviously stunned for a few seconds.

When the fat boy Li Haoran heard this, he was really happy. He didn't stand up this time, but he still couldn't help laughing out loud.

After he finished laughing, he regretted it because the whole class was looking at him and Teacher Zhou was marking key points.

Li Haoran felt that he would most likely be punished to copy homework again tonight, so he quickly apologized in advance, "Teacher Zhou, I was wrong."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned slightly and said in a serious tone, "Forget it, I won't punish you this time. Just don't disrupt the class order next time, okay?"

"Got it." Li Haoran smiled very happily.

At the Tianhou Temple, Chen Huiying, who had been praying for the whole morning, prayed to her mother again after hearing the broadcast, and finally set off a string of firecrackers that rang a thousand times.

When the broadcast was made, some people in Chenjia Village also heard it. Not long after, their village also knew that Li Duoyu had sold the eels.

At the Chenjia Village dock, someone said with emotion: "Fortunately, we reconciled with Xiasha Village, otherwise we would be too embarrassed to see anyone now."

Some people also said anxiously:

"Tell me, when will Li Duoyu be willing to teach us how to raise eels?"

Someone shook his head and said, "Eels are so profitable, how can he teach us now?"

A kelp farmer who made money by raising kelp with Li Duoyu last year said:
"Even if I teach you how to raise them, do you have the guts to do it? Even the Haixin Eel Factory in the next town, with such a strong team, can't raise them. Let's forget about it and just focus on growing kelp."

"That's right, let's grow kelp first."

The development of Chenjia Village in the past two years is obvious to all. Many people in the village have built new houses, and the number of fishing boats has more than doubled.

The ranking also jumped from the last place in ten thousand years to the top eight.

Everyone is very confident now. As long as they are given a few more years, it may not be impossible for them to reach the top three.

But there is a big prerequisite here, that is, Li Duoyu is willing to make money with them. This year, when they were cultivating kelp, they listened to Li Duoyu and harvested the kelp in advance, thus escaping the disaster.

Now, under the influence of "money", the villagers in Chenjia Village respect Li Duoyu very much, even more than their own villagers.

An old man from the Chenjia Village Council said, "By the way, when will Li Duoyu come to the ancestral hall to worship?"

One of Chen Huiying's uncles said, "My niece said that Li Duoyu's surname is not Chen, but a foreign surname, so it is not appropriate for him to come to the ancestral hall to worship."

Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chen Yuanshan, frowned and said, "What's the big deal? This kid was so rebellious at first, why has he become so rigid now? It's not like we're asking Li Duoyu to recognize his ancestors, we're just asking him to come and pay respects to his grandfather, what's wrong with that?"

After hearing this, everyone present looked at the president. It seemed that he was the one who had been the most disciplined in the past.

An old man revealed: "If I remember correctly, it was you who refused to let Chen Huiying return to the ancestral hall to worship her parents."

Chen Yuanshan smiled awkwardly.

"There are rules for different times, but rules are dead, people are alive, and now is a special situation and it's different."

"Cut it out, everyone knows that your family plans to plant 200 acres of kelp this year. You're clearly trying to build a good relationship with Li Duoyu."

As truckloads of eels were transported to the Beilanling wharf, the staff on the island nation's transport ship also became busy.

Their equipment is obviously much better than that of Dandan Island. The boat not only has a crane, but also large plastic barrels specifically for transportation.

The second brother Li Yaoguo was still in charge of the statistics this time, while Chen Wenchao and Shitou were responsible for assisting.

After dinner, Norio Kojima checked the eels again on the boat and found that Li Duoyu's eels were really well raised.

The weight of each eel is very well controlled, about half a pound, and they are all very healthy.

Even after being transported and placed in the live fish pond of the transport ship, they are still lively and don't look injured at all. This batch of eel fry is better than last year's batch.

He himself also raises eels, but he is not as good as Li Duoyu. He learned that Li Duoyu still had five eels in the pond and did not plan to catch any.

Kojima Norio couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, can't you sell me more eels?"

Li Duoyu didn't beat around the bush and told the other party directly: "The other five eels in the eel pond were reserved last year."

Kojima Norio said confidently: "I believe that the price our country paid for the acquisition is the highest."

Li Duoyu frowned and suddenly said seriously: "Mr. Xiaodao, I think you are not willing to cooperate with a dishonest person. If someone really offers a higher price than you, should I sell the eels to him?"

After hearing this, Kojima Norio was stunned for a few seconds, then he bowed to Li Duoyu and apologized without hesitation: "I am very sorry, please forgive my rudeness."

When several leaders saw the other party bending down to apologize, they were dumbfounded on the spot. After all, bending down to apologize is a very serious matter in China.

But Li Duoyu has become accustomed to it. After all, the customs of the two places are different, and the waist and kneeling are not as important to the Japanese as in China.

Li Duoyu continued, "By the way, there is something I want to tell you in advance."

"Li Sang, please speak."

Li Duoyu did not hide the fact that the quality of kelp exported this year was not as good as last year.

After listening to this, Oda Norihiro admired Li Duoyu even more and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Mr. Li, you are a very admirable partner."

Li Duoyu smiled.

In fact, he was reluctant to tell them that he had been with them for nearly twenty years and knew their personalities very well.

When the economy is good, they have a set of principles to follow and work harder to make themselves the most contract-abiding and rigorous country in the world.

But when the economy is bad, the bottom line is easily broken, and they can't do anything messy.

Many times, quality has little to do with people, but it is definitely related to money. People only consider the issue of quality when they have money.

When food and clothing are a problem, and there is not even time to wait for a traffic light, what is the point of talking about quality?

After looking at Li Duoyu's kelp, Oda Ji found that it was indeed a little worse than last year, but to him, it was still top-quality kelp.

"Mr. Li, the quality of this kelp is still good. Let's buy it at last year's price."

When the translator in the same team translated this sentence, the kelp farmers who were watching on the side were so happy that their faces blossomed.

Some people even hugged each other. If Li Duoyu hadn't been chatting with the Japanese man, some people would have wanted to rush over and kiss Li Duoyu a few times.

It takes almost a whole day to get the eels onto the ship, plus the statistics, and the kelp will not be loaded until the next day.

The leaders followed for the entire day, and Li Duoyu thought that the procedures had been completed, including the group photos, interviews, etc.

The leaders should not have come the next day, but unexpectedly, most of them still came.

Some people are very interested in the final transaction price of Li Duoyu, such as County Magistrate Tao, who has always wanted to know the exact price.

How much money did Li Duoyu finally sell these eels for, and how much foreign exchange could it bring to the county.

the next day.

The female reporter Lu Xiaoyu from the TV station asked with a smile, "Director Li, when we report on the special, should we make the transaction amount public?"

Li Duoyu thought about it. In the past, he was afraid of being hated by the rich and being targeted by others, so he kept a low profile.

But now everyone knows that he is a boss and very rich, so there is no need to hide it. The more low-key you are, the more curious others will be. It is better to tell them openly.

Besides, how can leaders improve their performance if the transaction amount is not made public?

"No problem, it can be made public."

Lu Xiaoyu, who had crescent eyes, couldn't help but say, "After this news is broadcast, everyone will probably be really shocked." (End of this chapter)
