In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Li Duoyu is considered an expert at making promises. This was when he worked in an eel factory in his previous life, when business was good.

His boss actually wanted to go public, and he brainwashed them all day long: work hard, and he will give you shares when the company goes public in the future.

As a result, there was no sign of the company going public, and the breeding farm was almost bankrupt, and in the end it couldn't even pay its employees' salaries.

But the pie in the sky that others painted was fake, but the pie in the sky that Li Duoyu painted for them was real and he was not lying to them.

After the two sides finished chatting, they had a simple meal in the restaurant, which was also a welcome treat for Comrade Lei Youshan.

After all, it takes two days to get to Rongcheng from Qingdao by bus, even at the fastest speed. What surprised Li Duoyu was.

Although Chen Yuansu did not come, his thoughtfulness was there. After they finished their meal, they asked the store manager to give each of them a gift.

There were only two souvenirs, a horn comb, one of the three treasures of Rongcheng, and a Shoushan stone, one of the "four great seal stones".

However, the Shoushan stones that Chen Yuansu gave them were actually Tianhuang stones, which are considered rare even among Shoushan stones.

Shoushan Stone is just starting to gain popularity and has not yet been hyped up. The price is not particularly expensive and most of the products are bought to be used as seals.

When he had just returned from the island country in his previous life, it happened to be the years when Shoushan Stone was the most popular. With the quality of the stone in his hand, if he had kept it until then, it would probably not be a problem to sell it for hundreds of thousands of yuan.

After delivering the souvenirs, the store manager also explained, "I'm really sorry, Director Li. Boss Chen is out of town these days and can't come to receive you in person."

Li Duoyu replied: "Thank Boss Chen for me. If you have time, I will definitely visit you in person."

"welcome any time."

"Be careful with the steps, everyone, please walk slowly."

As Chen Yuansu's business grows bigger and bigger, it is no longer easy to meet him.

Li Duoyu is just a "millionaire" in name only, but Chen Yuansu is the real deal. If those state-owned enterprises are deducted, Xinyuan Group can easily squeeze into the top five in Rongcheng.

Li Duoyu is in a difficult situation. Although he has a good reputation, he may not even be able to make it into the top 50 in Rongcheng. After all, there are quite a few overseas Chinese returning to Rongcheng to invest, and the number is still increasing every year.

After leaving No. 1 Courtyard, Li Duoyu drove the fishing boat and took everyone to the shrimp farm.

Although Lei Youshan, Lin Peng and other technical people agreed verbally, they did not dare to sign a contract with Li Duoyu hastily because they had not seen the site in person.

After all, we are all in a “meeting organization” where work reports are always perfect, but execution is another matter.

Everyone came to the shrimp farm.

I am somewhat disappointed. From the outside, Qixing Bay looks like an ordinary breeding farm.

The dock for disembarking is temporary, made of wood and planks, and you have to walk carefully, otherwise you might fall into the sea.

But when everyone arrived inside the shrimp farm, their eyes widened. They were all shocked by the imported equipment and facilities inside.

The factory is well planned. Every pool is filled with living water, the water is surging, and there are even bubbles rolling around.

Looking at the densely packed yet orderly arranged pipes, people like them who are engaged in aquatic research are naturally aware of the value of this nursery.

Lei Youshan was slightly stunned after seeing the brown water. He was a researcher in aquaculture.

In fact, by looking at the color of the water, you can judge whether the other party is engaged in aquaculture.

Whether you are raising shrimps or other aquatic products, you must first maintain the water. If you can't even maintain the water well, there is no need to talk about other things.

When it comes to the color of water for aquaculture, generally speaking, it’s important to be “rich, lively, tender and refreshing”. The industry generally only cultivates two types of water.

One is called "Green Water".

That is, water in which green algae is the main algae. The main cultivated algae include Scenedesmus, Chlorella, and Fibrous Algae, etc.

This type of green water is the most common and the most used, and is generally used on fresh water.

Li Duoyu's shrimp farm cultivates another type of water, diatom water, which looks brown overall.

Diatoms are a very important part of the marine ecosystem. They are not only food for plankton, but also purify water.

After seeing this refreshing diatom water, Lei Youshan had already admired Li Duoyu in his heart.

As he scooped up the shrimp fry from the pond, his expression became more serious: "The shrimp fry are this big?"

The nursery pond is filled with shrimp fry. Each shrimp fry is very healthy and energetic, and more than one centimeter long.

What makes them even more curious is that each breeding pond is numbered, and there is a small notebook next to it. When it is opened, the daily changes of the shrimp seedlings are recorded in detail.

Lei Youshan was surprised and asked, "Director Li, have you already started breeding?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "We just did a rough selection."

Seeing that Li Duoyu started to pretend to be low-key again, Chen Dongqing looked at him with disdain and quickly introduced him:

"Brother, actually I have already selected these seedlings. We picked out about 2,000 pairs from 20,000 broodstock, and then we have these shrimp seedlings.

The male and female shrimps in this nursery pond weigh about 300 to 400 grams each, and are of a particularly large size."

After hearing Chen Dongqing’s introduction, everyone realized that the selection and breeding of shrimp fry did not start after they arrived, but had already started long ago.

As long as they come over now, they can start working immediately and begin their research on seedling cultivation.

This means that they don’t need any prior preparation at all, as it has already been prepared for you. This is really a very cool thing for researchers.

During the following visit, Director Li showed them what it meant to take a steady and cautious approach.

Looking at the giant feed production equipment in front of him, Lin Peng, a teacher from the College of Agriculture and Forestry, said excitedly: "Is this equipment specially used to produce feed?"

Li Duoyu nodded and introduced: "This equipment can produce fish meal, can also be used for ultra-fine grinding, and can also be made into granules.
But for now we are using it to make fish meal and shrimp feed, and we are still trying and researching it.”

Li Duoyu was speaking the truth. He knew the formula for eel feed, but he really didn't understand the formula for shrimp feed.

After all, in his previous life, he had not had a deep understanding of the shrimp farming industry, and only knew the basics. He had also heard from some colleagues that because shrimps need to molt frequently, feed is very important in the farming process.

There was once a farmer in the town who bought fake feed because he wanted cheap feed. As a result, his shrimps were unable to molt successfully and he almost lost everything.

As far as Li Duoyu knows, shrimp feed and eel feed are completely different. It not only contains fish meal, starch and the like, but also some feed yeast and lecithin.

If you don't use the correct feed to raise shrimps, they will not grow. It is like raising a child only to eat rice without vegetables or calcium supplements. The child will definitely be malnourished and have problems in all aspects of his body.

Anyway, a successful feed is developed through gradual testing and does not appear out of thin air. This is why Li Duoyu needs talents.

As a person who was reborn, he is really not omnipotent. It can only be said that he knows more about breeding than others.

Others may start from scratch, and some may be better, probably starting from two or three, but there is still a long way to go before they can make a good product.

But these cannot be accomplished by him alone, it requires an entire R&D team, after all, from a professional and technical perspective.

The four people around him can definitely beat him. Sometimes, when they are discussing professional topics, Li Duoyu can't even get a word in.

But they don't have the "foresight" that Li Duoyu possesses, so there is an advantage in cooperating with him, that is, the direction he gives, whether it is shrimp fry cultivation or feed production, is 100% correct.

If I have to make an analogy, Li Duoyu is like a lighthouse in the dark night, and they are the fishing boats groping in the dark on the sea.

As long as they follow the direction of Li Duoyu, the lighthouse, they will not lose their way in the vast ocean.

When visiting here, the last bit of arrogance of Lei Youshan had been worn away, and he was completely convinced by Li Duoyu.

He once conducted a survey and found that at this stage, there are indeed quite a few shrimp farmers across the country.

In the north alone, there are tens of thousands of acres of farmed shrimp, but the quality of the shrimp is uneven. The vast majority of farmers still rely on wild catching for their shrimp fry.

And no one can tell whether there are diseased individuals mixed in with the wild shrimp fry, which leads to extremely unstable production.

Lucky shrimp farmers have a big harvest, while unlucky ones get nothing.

Lei Youshan also worked with a state-owned enterprise that raised shrimps, and at the beginning it still used the same methods from 20 years ago.

First they shouted slogans, then they took drastic measures and worked hard. From the very beginning they built shrimp ponds covering tens of thousands of acres.

As a result, the technology in various aspects could not keep up, and every step was extremely difficult. The net loss in the first year was as high as 900,000 yuan, and last year the company was criticized by the Ministry of Agriculture.

However, the Li Duoyu in front of them was the opposite of them. He had prepared almost everything before inviting them.

Looking at Li Duoyu, who was seven or eight years younger than him, Lei Youshan really didn't want to believe that this was something a young man could do.

When looking at Li Duoyu again, Lei Youshan couldn't help but feel that this young man always smiled, but when it came to doing things, he was really calm and steady, even more reliable than his uncle.

At the end of the tour, when everyone was looking at the building covering more than 2,000 square meters, Teacher Lin Peng couldn't help but ask: "Director Li, is this also a nursery room? It feels a little different, as if it is very closed."

Li Duoyu replied: "This is the laboratory building. If we cooperate, we can do experiments here."

Lin Peng took a deep breath and said, "Are these all for us?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Yes, this is only the first phase. There will probably be another floor upstairs in the future. However, the basic equipment for research has not arrived yet, so we may have to wait another month."

Looking at such a large laboratory in front of him, Lin Peng was really excited. It was the first time for him to have his own laboratory. If he wanted to use the laboratory at school, he had to apply for a project.

After Lei Youshan finished the visit, he made up his mind on the spot: "Director Li, let's sign the contract directly."

Lin Peng and Sun Hong nodded: "I think it's okay too."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Oh, there is one more thing I have to tell you first. By then, you will not be the only researchers. There may be several more on Ludao. In addition, our research base will most likely become a teaching base. If there are students coming, please give us some pointers."

"Of course. People in our industry also hope that the entire aquaculture industry will get better and better."

That afternoon, Li Duoyu signed a cooperation agreement with Lei Youshan and others. Lei Youshan took the blame because he had a conflict with his original unit.

He will resign immediately when he returns and become a full-time researcher at Minlong Company. Li Duoyu also gave him the title of deputy director of the research base.

In addition, the salary is 150 yuan, and food and accommodation are all included. If he brings his family here, Li Duoyu will try his best to help him solve some accommodation and study problems for his wife and children.

Lin Peng and Sun Hong are not full-time employees. They are still teachers at the Agricultural College, but they spend all their spare time at the research base. The company subsidizes them 70 yuan per month.

After both parties signed the agreement, Lei Youshan hurried back to Qingdao that afternoon, and teachers Lin Peng and Sun Hong also returned to school to handle some procedures.

Chen Dongqing smiled and said, "So, the people I introduced are reliable, right?"

"Whether it is reliable or not is unknown now. We will know it later."

"You are such a person that you can't even spit out ivory." Chen Dongqing continued, "By the way, the shrimp seedling donation ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow. County Magistrate Tao will also be there. Our Director Zhang wants you to go with us."

Li Duoyu frowned.

"Can you help me turn it down? I've been in the newspapers too often recently, and it's become difficult for me to keep a low profile. Now when I go out, even the dogs on the street seem to recognize me."

Chen Dongqing said seriously: "This is a free shrimp seedling, don't you really want to go?"

Li Duoyu shook his head: "I am not as idle as you. I have to work in the factory during the day and go back to pay taxes at night. If I follow your example, there will probably be one more complaining woman in the world."

"Fuck you, can you please stop bringing this up? I've done pretty well this week, okay? I worked overtime three days out of seven."

Li Duoyu asked curiously, "Does my aunt look better now?"

Chen Dongqing nodded.

Li Duoyu patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Men, don't complain all the time. You have to know how to solve problems when you encounter them. Family conflicts are very simple. We can solve the problems that are not solved. As long as we solve them, everything will be smooth."

Chen Dongqing frowned and looked at Li Duoyu: "Duoyu, open your head and show me if there are other people living inside."

"Comrade Dongqing, could you please not use such a bland tone to say such horrible words? It makes me feel very scared." (End of this chapter)
