In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 586 I Can’t Afford to Lose This Face

Li Duoyu is also a very straightforward person. Since the other party offered three pieces,

Then you'll suffer a loss.

Three dollars is three dollars.

Li Yaoguo's brain had already crashed, but he couldn't help but ask, "Duoyu, you set the price so high, aren't you afraid that the other party will run away?"

Seeing his second brother looking confused these past two days, Li Duoyu had to explain: "I didn't make a random offer. First of all, I know the price of their jellyfish very well. Secondly, I am very confident in the quality of my products."

Li Duoyu casually put out a small plate, put some sliced ​​jellyfish heads on it, and poured soy sauce on it.

"For this jellyfish weighing less than two taels, guess how much it would cost in their Japanese food store after being processed?"

Li Yaoguo shook his head: "I haven't been there, so I really can't guess."

Li Duoyu said calmly: "Even in the most ordinary Japanese restaurants, this plate of jellyfish can be sold for almost the price of a big unity."

After hearing this, Li Yaoguo couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "The Japanese are really that rich now."

Li Duoyu nodded. During the period when the island nation was taking off, electronic products and cars were not expensive there.

The most expensive industries are actually the catering and service industries. This is also the reason why everyone went to work illegally in hotels on the island country back then, because there was real money to be made.

Finally, the two sides reached an agreement on the price, but the export of food would be relatively troublesome as it involves quarantine and inspection.

At the strong request of the foreign businessman, Section Chief Jiang took him to Dandan Island and visited Li Duoyu's eel factory and shrimp farm.

During the whole visit, people kept praising Li Duoyu, saying, "Siguo No. 1."

This foreign businessman named Shi Qijiu was actually very dissatisfied with this trip to China. He came here with the intention of importing some seafood.

But every time he saw the flies flying everywhere at the dock, the sewage-filled vegetable market, and the unclean ice, he would give up the idea of ​​importing seafood from here.

Especially the public toilet here, which made him feel extremely physically uncomfortable. He really couldn't stand the big white worms crawling up along the tunnel and wriggling around his feet.

After a week, he was ready to give up, believing that the food hygiene quality here was definitely not up to standard.

But last night at the farewell party with Section Chief Jiang, the jellyfish she brought instantly changed his mind.

The packaging, hygiene and even taste of that can of jellyfish was no worse than theirs, and it was even slightly better.

Products like this are exactly what he wants, but the export price is too expensive.

He has come into contact with many local vendors, and the prices are all a few cents, and almost none of them cost more than one dollar.

Some vendors would rather lose money than export their seafood. I wonder what they are trying to do?
But this jellyfish supplier named Li Duoyu was completely different from them. His initial price was directly five yuan.

He was really surprised, but considering the quality of his jellyfish, Shi Qijiu planned to keep the price at around two yuan.

But Chief Jiang said, "I suggest you keep the price at three yuan. If you offer this price, Director Li will most likely not sell the jellyfish to you."

The final price was settled at three yuan.

After the price was agreed.

After arriving at Dandan Island, Shi Qijiu was still very happy, because the island was really beautiful.

There are no stinking ditches, the dock is very clean, there is a special garbage recycling area, and the public toilets here are quite clean.

He even wanted to live on such an island, and what shocked him most was that the pools used to produce jellyfish were very clean.

Every indicator meets the standard. What he worries most when buying jellyfish is excessive use of alum, which will lead to excessive aluminum residues.

If this item really exceeds the standard, no matter how good the quality and taste of his jellyfish are, the price will even be reduced to one dollar.

That is meaningless because they can't get it through their own customs.

But he didn't expect that after the quarantine inspection results came out, he couldn't help but suspect that someone on their side had falsified them.

Shi Qijiu asked them to retest on the spot, and the result was beyond his expectations.

All indicators were perfect, even better than their local products, which made him admire Director Li.

After visiting the eel farm and shrimp farm, he was really willing to cooperate with people like Li Duoyu.

He really wanted his order of eels and prawns, but unfortunately, someone else had already gotten there first. He was so angry that he couldn't help but curse, "How can you repair it?"

After passing the quarantine inspection, Li Duoyu asked the workers to seal the jellyfish and then transport them to Changwei Customs.

Because this time the goods were not live seafood, there was no green light. Everything had to be done according to the rules. All imported and exported goods had to be approved by customs.

Adding the 5,000 kilograms sold to Chen Yuansu and the jellyfish exported this time, Li Yaoguo made a rough calculation.

There was an income of more than 170,000 yuan. After deducting all costs, the net profit was more than 140,000 yuan, and the profit was in foreign exchange.

Although he didn't earn the money himself, Li Yaoguo was very happy to have so much money.

At least the company won’t have to worry about wages and expenses for one or two years. Now he just has to take good care of the fourth child and prevent him from spending money lavishly.

But unexpectedly, just as the money arrived, the fourth brother started to make trouble again, saying: "Communication on Dandan Island is still very inconvenient, so why not get a set of wireless equipment."

Li Yaoguo replied on the spot:
"Don't waste money. Every penny saved counts. There's a phone in Qixing Bay. It will only take an hour at most to get the news back to the island."

Li Duoyu laughed and said, "Second brother, that kind of high-powered cordless phone really isn't expensive."

"How much is it?"

"I don't know either. When the time comes, come with me to the electronics factory in Nan'an, Quanzhou."

Li Yaoguo said seriously: "If it's more than 20,000, let's not buy it. We don't have that much time."

"That shouldn't be the case. It's probably only a few thousand dollars at most."

“This price is OK.”

Li Duoyu didn't want to tell him that since he had been to Nan'an, he would definitely go to Shishi.

Li Duoyu has quite a few films, but now he is lacking a video recorder to cultivate his sentiments.

The smuggling here has been cracked down, but the business in Shishi is still booming.

Next, there may even be a person named Lai who will create another big gap and even drive coastal oil prices to the bottom.

Seeing that his second brother had begun to have the awareness of a big company and had started to manage the finances, Li Duoyu felt that it was time to open a branch.

When the time comes, I will transfer some of the money I earn to the branch company, so that I won’t be nagged by my second brother anymore.

Even if Li Duoyu didn't say it, everyone guessed how much money he made. After all, the fleet went together to catch jellyfish this time, and the people who helped pickle the jellyfish were all villagers. I don't know why, compared with Li Duoyu's export price, he sold it to his own people for one dollar per pound, which was really super conscience.

Some of the wealthier people on the island couldn't help themselves and bought several buckets of jellyfish before they were all shipped away.

After this news came out, Chen Shulin and Gao Tianyun from the Shangfeng Town Committee both frowned.

Gao Tianyun said: "I think we are not active enough in Li Duoyu's jellyfish sales."

Chen Shulin sighed, and then said, "I don't know who said it a few days ago, where can I sell a piece of jellyfish?"

Gao Tianyun sighed and said seriously: "So, the two of us must find a way to go out and see the outside world. Otherwise, compared with our Director Li, we are really like frogs at the bottom of a well."

Chen Shulin pushed up his glasses and said, "The quota this year is also very tight. Many departments in the city and province are vying for it. How could it be our turn?"

Gao Tianyun thought about it seriously and said, "How about we ask Director Li to help us find a way through the back door?"

Chen Shulin laughed helplessly: "We still have to fight for it. It's not impossible."

Gao Tianyun said: "Then you go and tell it, or I will tell it."

"Of course we'll go together."

The village party secretary of Langqi Village, Shangfeng Town, was completely shocked when he learned that Li Duoyu had earned more than 100,000 yuan from these jellyfish.

I really can't understand how Li Duoyu can make money by doing something that they think is not profitable.

Afterwards, he couldn't help but curse at some people in the village: "If you hadn't destroyed the temple on our island back then, the luck wouldn't have gone to Dandan Island."

He plans to go to the Mazu Temple this year to admit his mistake, donate some money, and bring back a golden statue of Mazu.

As for Tang Wenchang from Shangqi Village, he was so angry that his liver hurt when he saw many villagers were being sarcastic and saying something like if Li Duoyu was the village party secretary.

I just lie in bed these days and don't want to go out at all, but the room is really too hot and I start to sweat all over after lying down for a while.

The fan blows hot.

Damn it, if only I could make more money, I could install an air conditioner like Li Duoyu’s.

Anyway, Tang Wenchang planned to give up and learn whatever Li Duoyu did.

When he picked up the kelp seedlings, he would pick them up at the same time, and when he harvested the kelp, he would harvest it at the same time.

Tang Wenchang just didn't believe it. I learned everything from you. By then, Li Duoyu would make money, so how could he lose money?

And on Dandan Island, there is someone who plans to do this.

When Old Lu saw that Li Duoyu sold the jellyfish at such a high price, he felt as if ants were crawling all over his body.

This time, he and his son-in-law earned less than 600 yuan a week from catching jellyfish.

But Li Duoyu earned more than 100,000 yuan from this jellyfish. This huge gap was really hard for him to accept.

These days, she couldn't sleep well every night. Finally, she gritted her teeth and drove the boat to Little Elephant Island with her son-in-law.

When his boat arrived there, he found that there were already quite a few people on the island. Their purpose was clear: to catch jellyfish.

But the jellyfish season has passed, and the number of jellyfish is now sparse. It took them half a day to catch half the boat.

But they are still very happy. Even if they are not exported, they will be sold at one yuan per pound after pickling.

This ship costs a lot of money.

All of them reached a common consciousness, which was to do it together, although they were not clear about the specific steps and procedures of Li Duoyu's three-alum processing method.

But during this period of time, everyone helped to some extent, and after piecing together the information, everyone seemed to know how Li Duoyu prepared these jellyfish.

Although you may not make any money this year, as long as you master the method, you can make a lot of money next year.

This group of people were laughing happily, but when they actually started the pickling process, they found that things were not as simple as they had imagined.

"That's not right. After adding alum water, why did the jellyfish become hard and cracked?"

"There's something wrong with this pool. Maybe I didn't add enough alum? Why is it dissolving into water?"

After a week, they finally pickled the jellyfish. From the shape, it seemed to be not much different from the one pickled by Li Duoyu.

They came to Lao Yang's restaurant, took their pickled jellyfish with alum, and asked Lao Yang to make a dish of jellyfish with cucumber and old vinegar.

“It still looks good.”

Then, all of them picked up the jellyfish with chopsticks and started eating.

But as soon as they put it in their mouths, everyone felt that the taste was not right, and some people spat out the jellyfish in their mouths on the spot.

"Bah bah bah."

One by one, they drank water and rinsed their mouths.

At this time, Lao Yang from the restaurant couldn't help but say, "I feel like you guys didn't get the process right. You added too much alum when you first made the alum."

"It seems that the alum water of the first alum has strict standards. The ratio must be 200 to 1."

Old Lu looked at him puzzledly: "Old Yang, how come you know so clearly?"

Yang Kaihong smiled and said:
"Many people in our village know about this jellyfish alum processing method. Li Duoyu never kept it secret. If you ask, he will tell you."

"what!"

Old Lu blinked, still unconvinced: "Duoyu, such a stingy person, how could he give us the processing method for free?"

Lao Yang said: "We didn't believe it at the time, but Duoyu said that he was not the only one who knew this processing method, he also learned it from the north, so there was no need to keep it secret."

"And I also heard that Director Li doesn't plan to go fishing for jellyfish next year. The reason he went fishing this year was because the company spent too much money some time ago, which caused some difficulties in capital turnover, so he went fishing for jellyfish to make money."

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Old Lu made a bitter face and said, "So, everyone has been laughing at us all this time?"

Yang Kaihong shook her head and said, "No, Director Li even praised you, saying that our village should have more people like you who are brave and hardworking."

Old Lu said with a dark face: "Praise your uncle, Old Yang. We have been neighbors for so many years. Tell me the processing method of that three-something quickly."

"Go find Director Li yourself. I haven't learned it myself, so how can I teach you?"

"Kaihong, please, I really can't afford to lose face like this." (End of this chapter)
