In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

"Congratulations, Lao Li."

"Your Li family is so prosperous. You have both a new baby and great wealth."

"Have you started making red turtles? We should get a few more this time to get some good luck."

Although Mr. Li has a dull personality and rarely smiles, he couldn't stop smiling recently.

Seeing someone congratulating him, he quickly replied: "Thank you, thank you."

In the past, due to the troubles caused by his children, he was embarrassed to go out. He went out early and came back late every day, and even seldom went to the square.

But now, Lao Li can't wait to walk around the village a few times every day.

He and Chen Huiying had three boys, and Jinchuan, Yaoguo and Duoyu were also very good and all of their children were boys.

This is unique in Xiasha Village.

I feel like it’s something I’m more proud of than the fourth brother making so much money.

The old man who was playing four-color cards in the square saw Li Zhengtian smiling so happily and couldn't help but say, "Have you noticed that Li Zhengtian has started to go out for a walk these days?"

As he was saying this, he also played a red cannon card, and the next player won immediately, saying, "A walk is nothing. If I were him, I would definitely beat the gongs and drums and directly invite a few plays for everyone to watch."

The old man, Lao Cheng, who was lighting the cannon, said, "It's because the Li family's ancestral tomb was buried well. Have you heard recently that the old man Zeng at the end of the village may be dying?"

"Is it Lao Zeng's father?"

"That's right, it's him."

“During this period, Lao Zeng hired a Feng Shui master to find a place, and the Feng Shui master immediately fell in love with the location of the Li family’s ancestral tomb.

What else is there to say? Our island looks like a coiled dragon from a distance.

From the location of the Li family's ancestral tomb, you can not only see the entire sea, but also the Tianchi Lake on our island.

Mountains represent people and water represents wealth, and the Li family's ancestral tomb has both of these things.

And the Feng Shui master also said that the location of the Li family's ancestral tomb is special, right on that dragon eye, so that kid Li Duoyu can predict the future."

"Now that you put it, it really makes sense. When smuggling was making money, that kid from the Li family stopped it right away."

A man named Lao Zheng said:
"Don't be superstitious. Old Cheng secretly moved his ancestors' graves there a long time ago, but nothing has changed. Instead, life has gotten worse and worse."

Old Cheng snorted, "Old Zheng, you don't understand. An ancestral tomb is not something that can be moved and immediately manifested. It takes at least 20 to 30 years to accumulate good fortune to bless the next generation. For some tombs that are not in such a good location, it may take hundreds of years to bless future generations."

"Besides, the Li family wasn't a good family in the beginning, but they became different after Li Duoyu stopped smuggling. I wouldn't believe that they were such bad street urchins before without the guidance of their ancestors."

Some people who were listening in said, "But don't people say that it's because of Mazu's blessing?"

"You don't understand this. Mazu is the Mazu of the world. She is kind to everyone and is not partial to anyone. I think this incident is most likely the result of the Li family's ancestral graves."

"In that case, I will ask the old ancestor for permission to move them to the north slope as well, so that they can be neighbors with the Li family's ancestors."

Although Old Zheng didn't quite believe them, he still felt that what they said made some sense, but he still said stubbornly: "Anyway, I won't bother the ancestors anymore. If you want to move, you can move by yourselves."

"If you don't move, there are plenty of people who will. Maybe one day when you are fulfilled, even if you don't go to the North Slope, your son will bury you there."

Old Zheng snorted, "If my kids really dare to bury me there, I'll let them..."

At this point, Lao Zheng didn't dare to say anything. These people were right. It was not up to you to decide where you wanted to be buried after death.

Haixin Eel Factory in Nanri Township.

Ever since Zhang Sanming and Zhang Xuejin were arrested, the provincial task force has moved directly into the eel factory.

Anyone involved in the production of "poisonous eels", whether they knew it or not, was taken away for questioning.

After the incident, Haixin Group is still in a state of panic. This matter would not be over unless Zhang Sanming and Zhang Xuejin were imprisoned.

In order to maintain its trade image, Haixin Group not only had to compensate the islander for all his losses, including all the costs of the transport ship, but also various liquidated damages due to the lack of eels, totaling nearly 300,000 in foreign exchange.
In addition to this compensation, those in the mainland who were hospitalized due to eating "poisonous eels" must also be compensated. The current compensation amount counted is 200,000.

Also, because the product was pretending to be Minlong Food, it caused a very huge negative impact on Minlong Company.

The court not only required them to apologize in the newspapers at the place where the incident occurred for a week, but also to compensate Minlong Food for its reputation loss of 100,000 yuan.

At the shareholders' meeting, after listening to this report, everyone's face turned very dark and they all started cursing Zhang Sanming.

The little money Zhang Sanming earned was not even enough to cover half of the investment in construction. If he really had to pay compensation as required by the court, he would have to add the losses of the eel factory.

Hai Xin was going to suffer a loss of nearly one million this time. The incident was so serious that Boss Du behind the scenes had to come out to take charge of the situation.

"What if we don't pay?"

The person reporting the incident whispered, "It is said that three patients died while in hospital. Now the situation is very complicated. The higher-ups are taking a tough stance this time. If we don't pay, Haixin will probably be shut down."

When everyone heard the word "factory closure", they were all stunned. It seemed that this matter would not be resolved by trying to smooth it over.

"Damn it, I think those people from the mainland are clearly trying to blackmail us. Even if the eels are not clean, they will only give us diarrhea if we eat them to death."

Several shareholders looked at the boss behind the scenes and asked, "Boss Du, Zhang Sanming is in jail now. Should we continue with the eel farming project? I heard that Li Duoyu made at least 500,000 yuan from eels this year. What should we do with Haixin Eel Factory? We still have a lot of machines and equipment. We can't just leave them there."

After hearing this, the boss behind the scenes surnamed Du frowned and said, "Go on, what are you going to do? Who can guarantee that the eels can be raised without any accidents?"

There was complete silence at the scene. No one could really guarantee anything. In fact, even they did not expect that Zhang Sanming would fail the quarantine inspection. If this happened in China, no one would care about you.

Boss Du said, "We have to pay Minlong 100,000 yuan. Let's take the equipment away in the next two days, and then we can directly exchange it with the factory."

Everyone suddenly realized: "I think this is okay. The land belongs to their county anyway, so we won't lose much if we calculate it this way."

After most shareholders and company executives left, the boss behind the scenes called the top leader Sun Xiangdong.

"Boss Sun, how is your connection with the Ningde Cannery going?"

"We have reached a preliminary cooperation intention and have agreed to help us with production."

Boss Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have done a good job. Times are changing rapidly. You need to look further ahead. You can make money from breeding, but you can't make a lot of money. The risks are quite high. Boss Zhang has fallen this time.

To be honest, I feel really sorry for what happened to Mr. Zhang. After all, it was the three of us who built Haixin together.”

Sun Xiangdong really hoped that Zhang Sanming would suffer a defeat, but he had never thought of this kind of ending, where he would have to spend the rest of his life in prison.

We all work hard together, so it's inevitable that some people will feel sad when others fail.

Boss Du continued, "But shrimp farming is our foundation, and it is also the basis for us to do business with others. You can't lose this position." Sun Xiangdong assured, "That will definitely not happen. We are still relatively advanced in shrimp farming technology."

"That's good."

Boss Du continued, "I remember that the last time we went to Hong Kong Island, it was Mr. Zhang who went. You didn't go, did you?"

Sun Xiangdong smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing we can do. Mr. Zhang is from Chaoshan and knows some Cantonese, which gives him an advantage in this regard."

Boss Du smiled and said, "After a while, when I'm done with my work, I'll go back too. I'll take you to see the world and introduce you to some people."

"thank you boss."

After the Haixin Eel Factory closed down, Li Duoyu had never expected that he could make such a huge sum of money after handling this matter.

What surprised him most was that Hai Xin did not cheat and was actually willing to pay the money.

But they don't plan to give cash, but instead plan to use the Haixin Eel Factory as compensation.

This time, Hai Xin gives people the feeling that it is going to give up its eel business and sell off its assets.

To be honest, Li Duoyu was really moved when he heard about this compensation plan.

Not to mention the buildings, factories and earth ponds, the value of all the equipment alone is more than 100,000 yuan.

Not to mention, Haixin Eel Factory also has a small cold storage. Haixin is willing to invest in equipment. Even if one spends 100,000 yuan just to buy these equipments, it will only make money.

But just when Li Duoyu thought he had made a fortune, he received a letter from Haixin Eel Factory.

It was still the informant who secretly reported the situation to him, and he might have already learned that the Haixin Eel Factory was finished.

This time he simply didn't hide it and revealed his name directly.

Lin Youming.

Li Duoyu had already guessed that it was this person. He was from the Ludao Fisheries Research Institute and was also a fisheries researcher like his uncle Chen Dongqing.

In the letter.

He first briefly introduced the latest situation of Haixin Eel Factory, except for Zhang Sanming and Zhang Xuejin who were taken away.

Those responsible for the production of grilled eels, cold storage management, and transportation of grilled eels were all arrested and questioned, and it is estimated that they all bear joint responsibility.

In the letter, he thanked him many times, saying that it was because of the warning given by Li Duoyu that he chose to be marginalized and did not participate in the core business of the eel factory in the later period, thus escaping the disaster.

What surprised Li Duoyu the most was that the letter mentioned that people from Haixin headquarters came over in the past two days and took the equipment away directly.

When he saw this, Li Duoyu's eyes widened, and he finally understood why Hai Xin was so straightforward and compensated him with the eel factory.

This was a covert move. The most valuable things in the factory were taken away. What use is there for the Haixin Eel Factory, which is now just an empty shell?

Although the area is indeed suitable for raising eels, it takes an hour to get there by boat, and the time cost is really too high.

If he really wanted to build an eel factory there, he would have to send a group of people there. What Li Duoyu valued at the beginning was not the land, but the equipment and the cold storage.

Minlong is already a bit weak in management. If it continues to set up branches, Li Duoyu really won’t be able to handle it.

At the end of the letter, Teacher Lin planned to leave Haixin and come to the shrimp farm to do research with them.

But his idea was rejected by Li Duoyu tactfully. Li Duoyu liked this man very much, but did not like his behavior of betraying his employer.

Since he was able to betray the previous family, then betraying him would only be a matter of bargaining chips.

To be honest, Li Duoyu would not dare to accept such a person, no matter how capable he is.

However, Li Duoyu did not treat him unfairly. The letter came very timely. When Li Duoyu replied to him, he also attached a check.

The letter also wishes Teacher Lin a bright future.

After learning the truth, Li Duoyu directly asked Chen Xiaoyan to call Haixin Group and clearly told the other party that they did not want Haixin Eel Factory as compensation, but actual cash.

When the other party received this reply, they were instantly furious, and the boss surnamed Du looked very gloomy.

"As a small fisherman, I give you face, right? If you don't want it, then forget about it."

"Boss Du, Minlong said that if we don't compensate him, they will sue us in court and apply for compulsory execution."

After hearing this, Mr. Du's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but ask his grandson Xiang Donglai:
“Are you mainlanders all so law-aware and do you know how to enforce it?”

Sun Xiangdong smiled awkwardly:

"There are very few people who understand the law now. When problems arise, most organizations come forward to coordinate. I feel that Li Duoyu is just a stooge, and there must be someone else behind him."

"Since he is a shill, let's just delay it for a year or two and see who is more anxious."

The person reporting the work had a bitter face: "Minlong said that they have sent people to the local area to investigate. If a lawsuit is filed, they will ask us to pay 500,000 yuan in compensation."

Half a million?
Du Hanhai sneered so hard that he couldn't help but clench his fists and smashed the cup in his hand directly against the wall: "This Li guy, he really doesn't want to give me any face, right?"

Sun Xiangdong didn't dare to say anything. He wanted to say that Li Duoyu might not even know that you are the big boss behind the scenes.

But what he didn't expect was that the big boss was only angry for a while and then immediately calmed down.

"Boss Sun, do you think Li Duoyu knew that we had transported the equipment away?"

Sun Xiangdong thought for a while and said, "It should be possible. When we were talking before, Li Duoyu was quite satisfied. But as soon as our equipment was shipped away, he immediately turned hostile. It is very likely that he has someone planted in the eel factory."

Du Hanhai smiled and said, "How about this, I can't possibly pay him back anyway. Mr. Zhang, we were indeed wrong about this matter. Let's just give him the equipment and the eel factory. If he still refuses, we can just slowly wear him out."

Sun Xiangdong was a little confused. He was so angry just now, why was he giving money to her now?
Du Hanhai said: "By the way, no matter who the people at the eel factory are related to, don't use any of them from now on."

Sun Xiangdong nodded: "I understand."

Li Duoyu did not expect that Haixin would give in so quickly this time. Not only did they return all the equipment, but they also gave him the land of Haixin Eel Factory.

Li Duoyu did not ask them to transport the equipment back to the Haixin Eel Factory in Nanri Town, but directly transported it to Dandan Island.

As for the factory, Li Duoyu plans to sublease it directly to local breeders after taking over.

After all, the water is too deep and it is beyond your reach, so it is better not to try it casually, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble.

The most important thing is that Li Duoyu doesn't believe Hai Xin is so kind. There is a high probability that there is something wrong. (End of this chapter)
