In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

"Small town with many stories
full of joy

If you come to a small town

A lot of gains

"

Early in the morning, radio stations in overseas provinces were playing Miss Deng's decadent music in rotation.

Li Duoyu was also very familiar with this song, and he hummed along while cleaning his intestines in the morning.

Zhou Xiaoying, who was cleaning the courtyard nearby, couldn't help but ask, "You are in such a good mood, which beauty are you planning to meet?"

Li Duoyu tensed up suddenly.

Only then did he remember that Zhou Xiaoying knew that he had a party today, and they were going to the No. 1 Courtyard restaurant opened by Chen Yuansu at Rongcheng Wharf.

Women are more sensitive, especially Chen Yuansu, who is beautiful and unmarried. This makes many women whose husbands have business dealings with them somewhat nervous.

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. No wonder others said that getting along between husband and wife is a science. It seems that he still needs to practice more.

To be honest, if there weren't particularly important guests, Li Duoyu really wouldn't like going to that place.

One is that Zhou Xiaoying did care a little bit, and the other is that they were too familiar with each other, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

After Li Duoyu finished flushing the water and washing his hands, he saw that Zhou Xiaoying was the only one in the courtyard. After looking at his watch, he said seriously:

"Since you are so worried, there is still some time. You can just empty me out first and then let me go. By then, I promise that I won't even look at the female star named Gong Xue when she stands in front of me."

Zhou Xiaoying said disdainfully: "Come on, Gong Xue is the only one who likes you."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "What are you talking about? My wife is prettier than her. She doesn't like me, but I don't like her either."

Zhou Xiaoying's cheeks flushed. "Just say it at home. If you go out, don't say anything. I'm just an ordinary rural woman."

Li Duoyu smeared honey on her little mouth:

"Comrade Xiaoying, being overly modest is actually arrogance. Everyone knows that when I married you, all the men in the village cursed me, and many wanted to put a sack on me and beat me."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xiaoying frowned suddenly: "Huh, I don't know who it was, but he went out to drink the day after the wedding."

"Ah, is there any?"

Li Duoyu really forgot, but to be honest, he was really a jerk at that time, and it was not surprising at all that he did such a thing.

There is a saying that goes, "If it is drought, you will die of drought; if it is flood, you will die of flood." Many people want to have a goddess but cannot get her, but others may not know how to cherish her.

If I remember correctly, Gong Xue seemed to be very popular during this period, especially the drama "Under the Bridge", which attracted countless fans.

This year, there is even a saying "Gong Xue in the South, Zhu Lin in the North". Zhu Lin became popular this year for playing the role of the King of the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West.

If the time matches, Gong Xue should not have had a good year this year. It seemed that she was involved in a "major gangster case". It was because of this incident that she fell from the altar and fled to America.

When he was leaving, Zhou Xiaoying tidied his clothes: "When meeting an important guest, you should dress formally. Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Don't be sloppy all day long. Shave your beard."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "You dress me up so handsomely, aren't you afraid that someone will kidnap me?"

Zhou Xiaoying said calmly: "She will be abducted sooner or later. I have nothing to worry about."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Make some pickled vegetable, bamboo shoots and pork ribs soup tonight. I'll be back for dinner."

Zhou Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, then she smiled happily: "Okay, then Tutu and I will wait for you to eat together in the evening."

"Okay, I'll be back early in the evening."

Li Duoyu looked at his watch and thought it was about time, so he set sail for Rongcheng.

As soon as he arrived at the dock, someone asked, "Director Li, are you going out?"

Li Duoyu nodded.

As long as you live in a place like the countryside, you can't avoid the ways of the world.

Earlier, when Li Duoyu went to places like Rongcheng, he liked to bring people with him.

But after doing it a few times, I started to feel a bit burdened. Many times, when you finished your work and wanted to come back, you still had to wait for someone.

After all, many of the people who troubled him were neighbors, relatives and elders. Once, Li Duoyu waited for an uncle at Rongcheng Wharf for more than five hours.

It turned out that he drank a few more sips of wine when visiting relatives and got drunk.

From then on, when Li Duoyu went to Rongcheng, he would no longer advertise his departure, but would leave secretly.

Even if someone asked him, he would just say that he was going to the shrimp farm. For example, now, Li Duoyu had just untied the rope of the fishing boat.

Mickey Mouse smiled and said to him, "Duoyu, where are you going?"

Seeing Lao Mi smiling so cunningly, Li Duoyu knew without thinking that once he told him that he was going to Rongcheng.

He absolutely asked him to help bring local specialties to his children who lived in the city.

Although Li Duoyu feels good about himself, he is not a pushover, so how could he help you?

"No, just go to the shrimp farm."

Li Duoyu's fishing boat slowly left the dock and then slowly accelerated because there were many kelp fields around the island.

If you are not familiar with this sea area, you can't drive too fast, and you might even get killed.

Some time ago, many people came to their island to catch small pipes. Since they were not familiar with the local waters, several fishing boats were caught on kelp ropes.

After being caught by the village kelp farmers, they paid a large sum of money before they were willing to let them go.

When Li Duoyu was passing by his own kelp field, he discovered that someone on the fishing raft was pouring fish into the net cages.

The man was neither Lao Li nor Chen Wenchao, but his eldest cousin Li Shuguang. After seeing Li Duoyu's fishing boat, he greeted him.

Because they were too busy this year, Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao had no time to go fishing.

Some time ago, my father brought Erbaiwu back to the island. Now, most of the time, it is my eldest cousin who uses the fishing raft here.

Speaking of which, my eldest cousin is the kind of person who makes a fortune quietly. Although he did not invest in his eel factory and breeding farm, he has also embarked on a path that suits him.

Since Li Duoyu was too busy, he transferred all the relationships of Chen Yuansu's restaurants and the foreign trade center's purchasing to his eldest cousin.

He now has a small team of about ten people, and his second cousin also works with him, specializing in providing relatively high-end seafood to restaurants.

For example, big grouper, big lobster, and some sea fish suitable for sashimi, such as red sea bream, red snapper, etc.

Not long ago, their small team caught more than a dozen yellowfin tuna, making him a small profit.

Even now, the villagers only know that Li Shuguang makes money by fishing outside, but they don’t know that he is doing this kind of business.

Since his eldest cousin's business relies on his personal connections, Li Duoyu would not even participate in this project.

He still gets 20 percent of the project's profits every year. At the end of last year, he received 2,000 yuan.

According to my eldest cousin, Chen Yuansu's restaurant business is very good this year and he has purchased a lot of goods from them, so it should not be a problem to share the 4,000 yuan this year.

Li Duoyu said hello to his eldest cousin on the fishing raft and sailed away. But to his surprise, as soon as his boat left, a group of Yingying monsters immediately followed the fishing boat at the bow.

These crying monsters seemed to recognize Li Duoyu’s fishing boat, and from time to time they made whimpering sounds to beg for food.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I don't have any fish to feed you, so go catch fish for yourselves instead of just thinking about getting something for free all day long."

This group of white dolphins is very popular on Dandan Island. Whenever fishermen see them, they will feed them some miscellaneous fish.

Some time ago, because small tubes were cheap, these white dolphins were fed fat.

Li Duoyu is really worried that if fishermen continue to pamper the white dolphins like this, they will lose their ability to hunt.

The white dolphins followed Li Duoyu's fishing boat to the estuary. Seeing that Li Duoyu still did not give them food, they swam away to other places.

What made Li Duoyu speechless was that perhaps these dolphins thought he was too poor, and one of them even brought him a sea wolf fish.

Li Duoyu inexplicably felt that the voice of this white dolphin was very familiar, and it seemed to be the one that often played with Erbaiwu.

He touched its soft head, then splashed some water on it, indicating that he didn't need it.

Li Duoyu really dislikes sea wolves, they are not very tasty. If they bring a big yellow croaker, I will accept it reluctantly.

It was almost ten o'clock in the morning.

Li Duoyu's fishing boat docked at Rongcheng Wharf.

His boat had just docked when four men in shirtsleeves, carrying briefcases and smoking came towards him near the dock.

Among the four people, three wore glasses and looked like they were doing research in the company.

When his uncle Chen Dongqing saw Li Duoyu, he came over with his men and said, "Finally you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Duoyu replied: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I'm a little far away."

Chen Dongqing hurriedly said: "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Director Li Duoyu of Dandan Island, the owner of Minlong Food."

"Yes, I've seen him in the newspapers a lot. Some time ago, the TV even broadcast Director Li's special program several times."

Although they had known that Li Duoyu was very young, they still felt it was a little unbelievable when they actually met him.

He looks to be only twenty-five or twenty-six. At his age, the best he can do in the workplace is to do odd jobs.

But the Li Duoyu in front of him is not only the boss of a large company, but also one of the few "millionaires" in Rongcheng.

In comparison, those who do research only get about 60 yuan a month at most.

A young man in his early thirties, wearing a white shirt and black-framed glasses, extended his hand and said, "Hello, Director Li. I am Lei Youshan from Qingdao Fisheries Research Institute."

"Hello, Comrade Lei. I often hear my uncle mention you. He says you are an expert in aquatic products."

"I don't even dare to call myself an expert. I'm just a researcher."

The other two also introduced themselves: "Lin Peng, from Rongcheng Agriculture and Forestry College."

Another person followed suit and said, "I am Sun Hong."

"I have long admired my name."

After both parties introduced themselves, Li Duoyu noticed that the weather was a bit hot and said, "It's still quite hot today, let's go inside the store to talk first."

As soon as Li Duoyu arrived at the door, the store manager and manager of No. 1 Courtyard, as well as several waiters, came out to greet him: "Director Li, Section Chief Chen, and all the leaders, please come in."

Such a large-scale event simply overwhelmed researchers like Lei Youshan.

Fortunately, it only happened at the door, and there was no excessive service afterwards. Anyway, Li Duoyu was not used to "Haidilao".

With the introduction of his uncle Chen Dongqing, Li Duoyu quickly got to know these three researchers.

It was from his uncle that Li Duoyu learned that the summer kelp seedling variety cultivated on Dandan Island was created by Lei Youshan and his uncle together.

If it weren't for the two of them, if Dandan Island wanted to grow kelp, the seedlings would have to be transported from the breeding base in Qingdao.

Maybe it’s because we’re all doing research, so everyone speaks more directly, without too many beating around the bush.

Lei Youshan said directly: "Director Li, roughly speaking, I have heard Dong Qing tell me about it. Can you tell us more clearly what we are going to do if we come to Minlong?"

Li Duoyu also liked such direct people, and he spoke to them directly on the spot.

"My goal is very simple, which is to breed shrimp fry with a higher survival rate and faster growth."

After hearing this, Lei Youshan frowned and said, "Director Li, you should know that shrimp seedling cultivation is not a profitable business. You may lose money for many years in a row, and you may not even see the benefits."

Lei Youshan had taken on such a task before, but after only two years of training, he was stopped by his superiors because it was too expensive and had no results.

He was blamed for this incident, so after working for so many years, he is still a clerk.

Li Duoyu nodded and pretended to be cool on the spot: "Comrade Lei, I have also visited both the island country and Hong Kong Island. I know how difficult it is to select and breed shrimp fry."

"Don't worry, everyone. At least in the five years after our cooperation, I won't ask you to produce any results."

"Besides, your research department is independent. I won't interfere too much with you as your boss."

When they heard the number five years, Lei Youshan, Lin Peng and Sun Hong were all stunned. This was completely different from their leader.

Once their leader assigns a task, he wants you to give him the results immediately that evening.

Five years in their "system" is something that is simply unthinkable.

And their shock was far from over, the young "millionaire" continued:

“As long as we cooperate, if the company’s finances allow, we will organize at least one overseas inspection every year.

I have a good relationship with the Nagasaki Fisheries Association, and I can ask them to introduce some farmers to you."

When they heard this, the three of them were dumbfounded and extremely excited, because what Director Li said hit the nail on the head.

If their original units had treated them well, they might not have come out to work. Lei Youshan not only took the blame for his leader.

Last year, an opportunity to study abroad was originally his, but it was snatched away by a relative who was transferred there temporarily.

However, those who actually work in the unit can only attend meetings and write reports to their leaders every day.

Although Lin Peng and Sun Hong are teachers, they cannot get projects in the college due to their personalities.

So after I learned about Li Duoyu's project from Chen Dongqing, I have been very interested in it.

However, in addition to these, what made them feel incredible was that the young Director Li actually promised:

"By the way, we have to agree on this in advance. When we really come up with the product, the patent ownership will belong to the company, but I can give you the authorship part. You can publish it in domestic and international journals at that time."

After hearing this, Lei Youshan and the other three researchers really didn’t know what to say, if all the previous attacks had hit the vital points.

This time it was a real blow. What researchers fear most is that they work so hard, but the final signature goes to the project leader whom they have only met a few times from beginning to end. "

Since Director Li was so sincere, Lei Youshan said on the spot: "Director Li, I want to join your project."

Teachers Lin Peng and Sun Hong looked at each other and then said, "There is no reason for us not to join." (End of this chapter)
