In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

As the business grows bigger, Li Duoyu now has a headache.

That means I am unable to do it!
He is both the boss and the person in charge of core technology, which means that he has to do many things personally.

If we want to take care of the market side, we are afraid of making mistakes in technology. After all, if there is a mistake in breeding, the whole army will be wiped out.

You have to manage these breeding farms seriously, as he is also indispensable for the outside business. In this day and age, it’s not the end of the business once a contract is signed, it’s more about personal connections and relationships.

This caused him to do things as if he was wearing handcuffs and shackles, and he felt like he was picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Li Duoyu now urgently needs someone who can take control of the overall situation and help him coordinate these things.

There are many talents, but it is really hard to find the right one. In Li Duoyu's mind, the best candidate is An Yuliang.

As for why he wanted to choose him, in addition to his ability, Li Duoyu admired his character even more.

He looks like a profiteer, but he is the most loyal employee of Rongcheng United Distribution Co., Ltd.

It was not until Chen Yuansu persuaded the original employees to leave that they realized how good Manager An was.

If An Yuliang was willing to help him, Li Duoyu would be much more relaxed and would have more time to upgrade the industry.

Li Duoyu didn't plan to wait any longer. If he met Manager An next time, he would tie him up by force.

Li Duoyu plans to shift his focus to Qixing Bay in the second half of the year, as the development potential there is much greater than that of Dandan Island.

Take eels for example. The freshwater resources on Dandan Island are only enough to breed a dozen or so eels at most.

In my previous life, I heard from Old Tang that the time in the millennium on Dandan Island was extremely difficult.

At that time, the fresh water resources on the island dropped sharply because all the fresh water resources were drawn by the Wang brothers for aquaculture.

There is no water at all in the well. If people want to drink water, they even have to pay to buy it from the ship that transports fresh water.

They were reluctant to use fresh water for bathing, washing clothes and washing vegetables, which directly led to the fact that during that period, people in the town disliked the people of Dandan Island because their clothes and bodies always had a strong smell of salt water.

So if Li Duoyu plans to raise eels for another two years, he will move the eel factory away from Dandan Island to save some fresh water resources.

Li Duoyu has always had a clear positioning for Dandan Island, which is the three areas of fishery, marine aquaculture and pond aquaculture.

In fact, as long as you grasp any one of them, Dandan Island can take off easily.

For example, the scope of marine aquaculture is very broad. Not only can we grow kelp, but we can also grow oysters and abalone. In the future, when yellow croaker becomes more and more expensive, we may be able to cooperate with the Sharp Fisheries Research Institute to cultivate yellow croaker together.

Li Duoyu thinks it will be difficult for the fishermen on Dandan Island to become poor as long as they don't commit suicide and develop steadily.

As far as raising eels is concerned, the geographical location of Qixing Bay is definitely not as good as that of the Haixin Eel Factory in Nanri Town, but it is not too bad either.

After all, he could raise eels with the small amount of fresh water on Dandan Island, and there was a Seven Star River next to the Seven Star Bay, which was enough for him to build.

The reason why Li Duoyu particularly wants Qixing Bay is that it not only has a freshwater river, but most importantly, it is close to the sea!
The operating space near the sea is quite large. He can use the entire Qixing Bay to cultivate clams and thin-shell clams.

The reclaimed earth ponds can be used to raise shrimps and blue crabs. In short, in terms of comprehensive strength, this place is far better than other breeding sites.

Moreover, Qixing Bay is close to the customs terminal, and you can drive to Rongcheng from here.

It only takes one hour to get there. Compared with the farming on Dandan Island, the transportation cost here will be greatly reduced.

In short, Li Duoyu can only make such a simple plan for now. After all, there are too many uncertainties in the future, and even a reborn person like him is not 100% sure.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu in the office rubbed his temples and closed the Shanghai brand notebook that Zhou Xiaoying gave him.

Now, he finally tasted the hardship of his boss in his previous life. Li Duoyu discovered that as long as the money does not come from the wind, it is not easy for every boss. The bigger the business, the more things to worry about.

Just when he squinted his eyes and wanted to take a break, Shitou drove his fishing boat hurriedly to the shrimp farm.

"Brother Yu, the Changwei Shipyard has sent several ships to our island. I hope you can go over and sign for them as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu remembered that he had previously ordered five fishing boats from Changwei Shipyard. They had been under construction for some time and the other party had urged him to take delivery of the boats several times.

But because I was really busy recently, and my eldest brother had a baby, this matter has never been put on the agenda.

Unexpectedly, the shipyard was even more anxious than him and sent the ship directly to Dandan Island. After all, Li Duoyu had only paid the deposit and most of the money was still to be paid.

When Li Duoyu was about to drive the fishing boat back to the island, his uncle Chen Dongqing reminded him, "I have booked a private room at Rongcheng No. 1 Courtyard tomorrow. Don't forget, my senior has already arrived, and there is also..."

"Got it. I won't be late."

Li Duoyu couldn't help but shake his head, realizing that there were really too many things to do. He really wanted to hug his wife and have a good rest.

Li Duoyu drove his fishing boat back to Dandan Island Pier and found five brand new iron boats docked there.

A young man came up to Li Duoyu immediately after seeing him.

"Director Li, long time no see. I am Zhang Yuanhan from the shipyard."

Li Duoyu smiled slightly awkwardly. To be honest, he seldom went to Changwei Shipyard and was not familiar with the people in their factory.

The first time he went there, he was turned away and was not even allowed to enter. His fishing boat was almost taken away by Director Gou of the shipyard and given to a second-generation rich man.

In the end, it was Secretary Huang who stepped in to help him get the boat back, and in the process got rid of Director Gou.

Seeing that Li Duoyu didn't recognize him, Zhang Yuanhan quickly said, "Director Li, it's me. I used to be the gatekeeper at the shipyard."

After he said this, Li Duoyu remembered that there was indeed such a person and it was he who stopped him when he first entered the factory.

And it seemed that it was this young man who finally stepped forward to report Gou Qingyuan. Unexpectedly, he is no longer a security guard now.

However, in this era, anyone who could be a security guard must have connections in the factory. After that incident, it was normal for him to be promoted and get a raise.

"Sure, you got a promotion. I almost didn't recognize you."

Zhang Yuanhan smiled and said, "I didn't get promoted. I'm just the head of a small department. As soon as I told my boss that I knew you, he asked me to deliver the ship."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Is it because I asked you to come and ask for money?"

Zhang Yuanhan chuckled twice, then said, "Yes, that's what the leader told me."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. He found that this young man really only knew how to play straight balls. He was the same when he reported Gou Qingyuan last time. He told everything he knew.

Because there were five new fishing boats, there were quite a lot of people watching at the dock. They were quite envious of these new fishing boats.

Each of them is about 12 meters long. For them, fishing boats of this size are no longer small fishing boats, and they can fish in the open sea. And each one is equipped with the latest diesel engine, which looks powerful, and there is a net lifting machine on the bow.

There is also a live fish tank in the middle, and even a groove reserved for installing a rain shelter.

Li Duoyu’s fishing boat is too far away and not practical, but this kind of fishing boat tailor-made for fishing is really very attractive.

Many fishermen at the dock have envious looks on their faces. Putting aside other things, as long as they are on such a fishing boat, they will feel more motivated to fish than usual.

Normally, you’d get tired after half a day of fishing, but if you get on a fishing boat like this, you might be able to work four or five more hours.

A fisherman named Zheng Chunfa couldn't help asking: "Duoyu, you are engaged in aquaculture and don't catch fish, why do you have so many fishing boats? Why not just rent one or two to us?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "You are right. I rent it out."

"That's perfect. You can rent it to me."

Li Duoyu sighed: "I'm sorry, the boats have all been rented out."

"Ah~"

After hearing this, the fishermen at the dock were all stunned: "Who did you rent it to? We don't even know how much you rented the boat for this month."

"My landlady is in charge of this matter. I am not very clear about it. She is the only one who has the list of rented boats. I just came here to collect the boats."

Li Duoyu and Shitou checked the fishing boat and started each engine and net lifting machine.

Then, he said to Zhang Yuanhan: "Okay, the ship is very good, no problem, I will transfer the subsequent money directly to your shipyard's account."

"Thank you, Director Li."

Seeing so many fishermen also wanting boats, Zhang Yuanhan smiled and said, "Director Li, our factory is trying to achieve good sales results recently. I see that people in your village really want boats. Why don't you order a few more?"

Li Duoyu glanced at him and said, "You are quite good at business."

Zhang Yuanhan chuckled.

Hearing this, all the villagers became excited: "Director Li, why don't you just order a few more boats and give us a chance to be fishermen again."

Li Duoyu thought about it seriously and said, "I have to go back and ask my landlady about this matter. She is in charge of renting fishing boats."

The fishermen at the dock started to make a noise: "No way, Director Li, men have to have the final say on matters like this."

"That's right. I am the one who makes the decisions in my family. If my wife doesn't obey me, I will just slap her in the face and make sure she obeys me."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone grabbed his ear and said, "Li Dazhu, you are getting more capable as you get older, right? Who do you want to slap?"

After seeing this, the woman weaving the net in the shed also said with disdain:

"When a man gets older, he only has a mouth to speak, and he can't do anything else. Our Director Li is still the best. He knows how to respect his wife and often takes Teacher Zhou to play on the sea."

Li Duoyu felt that the previous words were quite normal, but the latter sentence was obviously a bit off.

The village radio started to ring, and Uncle Mao shouted, "Gao Fei from Team 7, Wu Xiaoguang and Zhao Xiaoliu from Team 3, please go to the dock. Your fishing boat has arrived."

This time, a total of five villagers were assigned to the fishing boat, and these five villagers were all selected by Zhou Xiaoying. These people, like Chen Wenchao back then, had no money to buy a fishing boat and could only do odd jobs for the boat captain.

So they usually know how to drive a boat, and some of them even have better fishing skills than the boat captain.

Gao Fei, who is already in his fifties, arrived at the dock early. When his name was called out on the radio, he was stunned.

Director Li did talk to him, but did not explicitly say that he would rent the new fishing boat to him.

Gao Fei couldn't help but burst into tears. He never thought that after helping others catch fish for half his life, he finally had his own boat.

The young man Zhao Xiaoliu touched the boat and couldn't help but cheer loudly: "I finally have my own boat."

Seeing him so happy, someone on the dock poured cold water on him, saying, "The boat is not yours, it belongs to our Director Li, and it is just rented to you."

"Xiao Liu, if you can't make money with your fishing skills, you should find someone else to rent the fish to, okay?"

"Go away, you bastard! You're still trying to curse me for not making any money. I'll buy this boat sooner or later."

As a series of firecrackers rang out, the five captains of the new ship began to worship the Goddess Mazu on the new ship amid the envious gazes of the crowd.

Next, he used paint to mark the fishing boats he rented, otherwise the five boats would all look the same and it would be very easy to make a mistake.

But everyone was more concerned about something else: "Xiao Liu, how much does it cost to rent this boat for a month?"

Zhao Xiaoliu smiled and replied: "Director Li said that the first month is free."

"What about the second month?"

Zhao Xiaoliu suddenly said seriously: "Director Li didn't let us talk about this. He said that this ship leasing model is still under exploration and the price is difficult to determine."

“That’s a rough number.”

"If you want to know, just go ask Director Li. I can't tell you, or Director Li will definitely take my boat back."

That night, Li Duoyu held his waist and lay on the bed to rest. There had been too many things going on recently and he really needed a good rest.

Never thought about it.

Today was destined to be an eventful day. There were knocks on the neighbor's door and noises of quarreling.

Old Hu's dog also started barking, and Idiot started barking too.

At the door of Lin Shanshan's house, Xiao Qingsong held a fire stick and shouted angrily: "Lin Shanshan, what do you mean? Come out and explain it to me."

"Why do you want to divorce Weidong? I tell you, it's impossible. A married woman is like spilled water. You will be the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family until you die, and your child will be the offspring of our Xiao family until he dies."

Just as Xiao Qingsong was banging on the door and cursing, a neighbor shouted, "Old Xiao, what's wrong with you? It's already late, can't you let me sleep?"

Seeing everyone was awakened, Xiao Qingsong shouted:

"It's just that everyone helped us judge the matter. Otherwise, when we went to visit Weidong this time, we wouldn't have known that the vicious woman Lin Shanshan had been forcing him to sign the divorce agreement."

Xiao Weidong's mother also shouted, "I just find it strange. It's only been a short time since our Weidong went in, and she immediately moved in with her parents. It turns out that she has a man. Everyone in Xiasha Village knows that you're having an affair with that kid named Shi."

After hearing this, Shitou really couldn't stand it anymore, but just when he was about to rush out, he was stopped by his parents. (End of this chapter)
