In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

The last time County Magistrate Tao organized a party, Li Duoyu had a drink with Director Zhang in front of him.

His name is easy to remember, and it only differs by one character from a very popular pretty boy currently, whose name seems to be Zhang Tieshan.

As for the other few people, Li Duoyu really didn't have any impression of them, after all, there were a lot of people that night.

What no one expected was that after Zhang Tieshan greeted him, he did not go directly to Director Chen, but continued:

"These days, our County Magistrate Tao has been thinking about you, just like that old woman, he has been nagging you, saying that you are boring and you are still bending your arms even though you have been drinking."

Since Li Duoyu knew what County Magistrate Tao was talking about, he would have to offend someone anyway.

"That was an accident. Next time we, Minlong, export food, we will definitely ask for the opinion of County Magistrate Tao first."

"That's pretty much it."

Director Zhang's words sounded like he was lecturing Li Duoyu, but to Chen Quanjie's ears, they were quite harsh.

It was clearly a disguised way of telling them how much the county leaders valued Li Duoyu.

After saying hello, Zhang Tieshan said to one person seriously:
"Chen Quanjie, tell me, what exactly is going on with Director Li's eel factory? Why does the county have to step in to solve it?"

Chen Quanjie smiled awkwardly, then glanced at Li Duoyu. Seeing that he didn't intend to make a big deal out of it, he quickly said:
"Director Zhang, this is all a misunderstanding. Chao Kui has already admitted his mistake and apologized to Director Li. He has also decided to compensate Director Li for all the fish currently raised in the factory."

Li Duoyu said quickly:
"Director Chen, if I agree, I will violate organizational discipline. This Brother Kui from Nanri Town has raised a lot of fish in my eel factory."

Chen Chaokui was about to collapse.

Brother, stop joking and just agree to it. The captain of the criminal investigation team is here, and he can arrest people if he says so.

Looking at Chen Chaokui who kept smiling and rubbing his hands, Liu Yun suddenly found it a little difficult to adapt. He used to be scared to death of him, but now, he suddenly felt that he was a little cute.

At this time, Zhang Quanbiao, a senior official in the town, said, "Director Zhang, Director Li, this is not the place to talk. If there is a misunderstanding, why don't we find a place to sit down and have a good talk."

Director Zhang looked at Li Duoyu and said, "Let me ask Director Li."

Li Duoyu smiled. If he wanted to deal with Chen Chaokui today, that was fine. But if he went in, many people present would probably suffer.

"Sure, that's totally fine with me."

Director Zhang said, "Okay, let's sit down and have a good talk about this matter and see how to solve it."

After hearing this, Director Chen wiped a cold sweat. If Director Li was willing to sit down and talk, things would turn around.

It was a hot day and the inside of Chen Chaokui's pants were wet. It wasn't because he urinated, but because he was so nervous that he was sweating.

After they walked out of the post office, the female operator came out and someone asked, "Who is that young man? Why did he scare Brother Kui like that?"

“It should be the millionaire village chief of Dandan Island.”

"Li Duoyu?"

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

One of the female operators suddenly became infatuated: "You were so handsome just now, you really didn't give Brother Kui any face at all."

"If I had one million, even Kui-ge would have to call me mom."

"Chen Xiaoli, you're dreaming. You only make 40 a month. You won't be able to save a million in your entire life. But if you want to marry Brother Kui, it's still possible. Didn't he just specifically mention your name?"

After thinking of this, the female operator named Chen Xiaoli scratched her hair, wishing that Chen Chaokui would be locked up as soon as possible.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that when they arrived at the restaurant in the town, the food had already been prepared and there was a box of Moutai on the table.

It seems that some of them have already prepared the food and were waiting for them to arrive.

After everyone sat down, Chen Chaokui immediately filled his own glass with wine and toasted Li Duoyu on the spot.

"Director Li, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to slander your eel factory. I'll drink three cups as punishment."

Seeing that Chen Chaokui drank white wine just like drinking boiled water, Li Duoyu was not worried that he would die from drinking it, but just felt it was a waste.

Li Duoyu glanced at Moutai and found that the packaging was a little different. If he was not mistaken, it should be the 86 series of 1740.

It seems that it is only produced this year and will be gone in the future. If you save this stuff now, you can sell it for tens of thousands of yuan per bottle in the future.

Speaking of which, the price of this wine has been skyrocketing since the reform and opening up, but it seems that this is because the production cannot keep up, and the company does not know how to advertise.

Therefore, in this era, its fame has never been as great as Wuliangye and Fenjiu.

But those who really know how to drink know that this stuff is the real delicious one.

Li Duoyu remembered that the year he was released, the price controls on liquor were lifted and the price of Moutai increased more than tenfold that year.

Li Duoyu remembered a former cellmate who had been tinkering with wine after he was released. Eventually he even lived in a villa and drove a luxury car, making much more money than those of them who had illegally entered the country.

Seeing that Li Duoyu didn't seem to want to pursue the matter, Director Chen said, "Chao Kui, what you did was really unkind. Three cups are not enough. You should at least drink one bottle as punishment."

"Okay, one bottle is enough."

This is how it is at the dinner table. Once the other person is generous, it is difficult for you to lose face.

While Brother Kui was punishing himself, Chen Quanjie also hurriedly poured some wine for Li Duoyu, but he didn't fill the glass, only 70% full.

In fact, Li Duoyu had already realized that Director Zhang and his gang should be acquainted with Chen Chaokui and his gang.

Society is a huge network of relationships. If Chen Chaokui were to say that his superiors didn't know about it, Li Duoyu would definitely not believe it.

There are many things that, as long as he doesn't cross the red line, people will turn a blind eye to them.

Li Duoyu was not the kind of person who wanted to make a big deal out of things. Seeing that the other party was still drinking as a penalty, he also raised his glass and took a sip:
"Brother Kui, you don't need to drink anymore. How about this? I'll just take the fish, but you can calculate the cost of the fry and the feed, and I'll return this part of the money to you."

Chen Chaokui, who was already blushing, said, "Director Li, it's really not necessary. I admit my mistakes. Besides, most of the fish fry and feed were given to me by Hai Xin, and I didn't spend much money on them."

Hearing the name Hai Xin, Li Duoyu instantly perked up: "Are you familiar with Hai Xin? Why did they give you fish fry and feed?"

Chen Chaokui sighed and said, "Speaking of which, I was also harmed by them. Someone from Haixin told me that you would not come to take this eel factory, and that it would be a waste to leave it alone, so they provided me with fish fry and feed for free."

"Oh, so that's it."

Chen Quanjie, who had also drank a lot of wine, was so angry after hearing this that he couldn't help but want to hit Chao Kui on the head with something.

"You are such a grown-up, but you are acting like a pig. People are using you as a tool, and you still think you have made a profit, right?"

Chen Chaokui smiled bitterly and said, "No, I was also deceived by them. At the beginning, I had no idea that the factory was mortgaged to Director Li." Chen Chaokui said so, but he was not stupid. He just didn't expect that Li Duoyu had such a strong background.

Chen Chaokui, who is feared by everyone in Nanri Town, kept drinking at the table today and his face turned red from drinking.

Li Duoyu said, "By the way, Brother Kui, when I finish raising this batch of fish, I might raise eels here. I'll ask you to take good care of them."

Chen Chaokui burped and patted his chest and said, "Director Li, you can rest assured. From now on, our brothers in town will help you watch the eel pond and make sure not even a fly can fly in."

Director Zhang also said, "Chaokui, you are right to do this. Director Li is a major foreign exchange earner for our county. We must not lag behind and must give him our full support."

After Director Zhang finished speaking, he turned to Li Duoyu and said, "Director Li, you raise eels here. The foreign exchange you earn here should be counted back to our county."

"That's for sure."

"With your words, I can report to County Magistrate Tao when I return."

At the end of the drinking party, Li Duoyu toasted the leaders from the bureau individually.

"Thank you very much for making a special trip for me."

Zhang Tieshan patted Li Duoyu on the shoulder and said, "You're welcome. In the future, if you have such a thing, just call us directly. You don't have to call County Magistrate Tao. He has a bad temper and even scolds us."

"I understand. I won't do that next time."

After the wine party.

Director Zhang and his men drove away. Seeing that the driver had drunk several glasses of wine, Li Duoyu wanted to tell him to be careful, but thinking back, these days, they didn't seem to have started checking for drunk driving yet.

After that, Li Duoyu went to close the eel factory, and they all went to the eel factory. When the gangsters who were still playing cards saw Brother Kui, they all behaved very respectfully.

"Brother Kui, OK."

"Bullshit, you guys should apologize to Director Li right away. Director Li is here to take over the eel factory today, and you actually want to beat him up."

The hooligans all looked confused and a little aggrieved, because it was Brother Kui who said from the beginning that no one should be allowed to approach the eel factory.

But now seeing that Brother Kui was acting like a little brother, the gangsters all lowered their heads and said, "Director Li, I'm sorry, we were wrong."

"It's okay, we don't know each other without scolding."

Li Duoyu then went on to visit the eels and found that they had really been moved out, but all the equipment and instruments were still with him. It was really a hassle.

Li Duoyu really didn't expect that these equipments would be moved here and there, and would most likely have to be moved back to their original locations in the end.

Li Duoyu took a look at the original eel pond and found that the tilapia in it were quite big. After raising them for another two months, they would probably be ready for shipment.

The bighead carp is not small in size.

But what surprised Li Duoyu was that Brother Kui, this country bumpkin, actually managed to raise the fish quite well. The whole water color looked very nice, and it was obvious at first glance that he was an old hand.

When Li Duoyu turned around, he unexpectedly met an "acquaintance" here.

(Will I be beaten to death if I stop here?)
Although they had only met twice, Li Duoyu was still quite impressed by him. He was Lin Youming, a breeding expert at the Haixin Eel Factory.

He was the first to defect and took the initiative to act as an insider, telling him a lot about the situation at the Haixin Eel Factory.

"Teacher Lin, you are still here."

When Lin Youming saw Li Duoyu, he was stunned for several seconds. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond to the matter of the breeding farm being robbed. He could have written a letter to tell Director Li.

But since he had already rejected it, I didn’t write it, and he is still the breeding consultant here.

“I’m helping with the farming here now.”

Chen Chaokui said with a smile: "Teacher Lin, you will follow Director Li from now on. This place will belong to Minlong Company from now on."

Lin Youming, who had been rejected by Li Duoyu, smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid Director Li doesn't want me."

Although Li Duoyu doesn't like people like Lin Youming, sometimes fate is really wonderful. Unexpectedly, he has been working for him for a long time.

"Teacher Lin, are these tilapia and bighead carp raised by you?"

"Yes, I specialize in freshwater aquaculture. I may not be able to raise eels well, but I have never failed with these two kinds of fish."

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'm quite busy these days, so you will be in charge here for now."

Lin Youming thought he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly asked again: "Director Li, have I joined Minlong?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "When the time comes, I will recruit all the people here who are suitable, and everyone will refer to my salary standards."

At this time, a fish farmer asked worriedly, "Can I ask how much the wages are at Minlong?"

At this time, Li Yaoguo, who was in charge of finance, said, "Let me introduce it to you. Each position is different. Let me give you a brief introduction. Even those who do sanitation start at least thirty yuan a month. The person in charge of each pond starts at least forty yuan a month. The technicians start at fifty yuan, and the experts at least one hundred yuan."

After hearing the wages, the eyes of the workers became clear.

"Hello, Boss Li."

Li Yaoguo frowned and said, "Don't call me boss, just call me Director Li."

"Hello, Director Li."

Li Yaoguo went on to say: "Our salary is high, but our requirements are also relatively high, so everyone should be mentally prepared."

Chen Chaokui, who was standing by, felt very angry because the salary he offered was less than half of what Li Duoyu received.

"Director Li, I haven't settled the bill with the restaurant yet. I'll go and pay it first."

"Okay, let's see you next time."

When those thugs saw that the owner of the eel factory had been replaced, they also wanted to follow suit.

But just as he caught up, Brother Kui glared and said, "You stay here to help Director Li look after the eel factory. From now on, we will be responsible for the safety of the entire eel factory. Do you hear me?"

"I understand, Brother Kui."

After the drinking party, Chen Chaokui finally realized that he was trapped by this eel factory.

From now on, whenever anything happens at the eel factory, Director Zhang will come directly to him regardless of whether he did it or not.

In simple terms, whether he can survive in Nanri Town in the future depends on whether anything goes wrong in this eel factory. (End of this chapter)
