In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

The salesman, named Chen Zhouqing, took them across two streets and came to a factory with a red brick exterior.

The factory building doesn't look very big, but it is much better than a small workshop. There are many trucks with capes and out-of-town license plates parked in front of the factory building. It seems that they are here to transport goods.

This scene reminded Li Duoyu of Shangfeng Town many years ago. There were more than just several trucks, but they were lined up like a small train.

The young man was very talkative and introduced the factory to them, saying that the factory used to specialize in the production of "Silicon Two-Watt" shortwave radios, which were mainly used on the battlefield on the southern border.

That is the thing that communications soldiers carry on their backs. In the past, because there were no chips, they made them very large.

But now that technology has advanced, components have been reduced by more than ten times. Without violating the ban, their factory has imported a lot of chips from overseas provinces and island countries, specifically for assembling the domestic version of "Black Pearl".

But not all parts are imported. Except for the core chips, the remaining parts are produced by local electronics factories.

After they reassembled it, the power is much greater than the original imported Black Pearl, and with a set of signal amplifying antennas, long-distance calls can be made.

Chen Zhouqing said, "Mr. Li, it's not that I don't recommend the original one, it's just that the original ones are all low-power, and the signal can only reach one or two kilometers at best. If there is no signal across the street in the city, you will scold me after I sell it to you, and that thing is very expensive."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I know. This time I came here to buy a high-power one. The bigger the better."

"It's easy to talk to a boss like you. Unlike some mainland bosses, who have worn out their lips but insist that foreign-made products are the best."

Li Duoyu knew this. It was not that the original products were bad, but that developed countries had already started to control wireless signals, so they could only produce low-power products.

The country is now in a barbaric stage, telephones are just starting out, and radio is not regulated, so naturally the higher the power, the better.

It seems that in the next few years, Black Pearl will still be called the "second brother". Although it is the second brother, it entered the domestic market earlier than the big brother.

Li Duoyu took a brief tour of the factory and found that there was nothing special about it. It was just a simple electronics assembly plant.

Li Duoyu plans to buy two sets first, one for Dandan Island and Qixing Bay, and the other one for the boat.

As for Nanri Town, Zhang Sanming had laid lines there before. When the time comes, he can just buy a landline phone and ask the post and telecommunications bureau to install a line, which can save a lot of money.

One advantage of the "Black Pearl" cordless phone is that it only consumes electricity and does not require paying telephone bills.

Phone bills in this era are really expensive, and are charged by the minute. Ordinary families don’t even dare to make calls, let alone chat on the phone.

But after having this thing, as long as it is not a long distance, but within the same village, it is quite useful, especially the high-power one, it is so cool, you can shoot however you want.

But this thing was too useful. Later, its power became bigger and bigger, and the communication distance became farther and farther. Finally, it was banned and its production was not allowed.

It is said that it often occupies wireless channels and affects aviation, and this kind of high-power can easily reach an altitude of tens of thousands meters.

Another most important thing is that this thing has touched the cake of relevant departments, so it has been cut off directly.

Before discussing the price, Li Duoyu thought this thing was very expensive, at least more than ten thousand.

But I didn't expect that as long as I didn't buy the original product, I could buy a domestically produced semi-assembled computer, and the price would be less than half of the original one.

A set of mother-and-child machines, plus wireless equipment, costs about four thousand five hundred yuan.

If he only bought two sets, it would be less than 10,000 yuan. Li Duoyu then realized that he brought too much money.

Li Duoyu frowned and thought for a while. As an experienced person, he naturally knew that this thing was very useful, especially for them on the island where there was no telephone, it was definitely worth the money.

Li Duoyu thought that as long as he could do it first, he didn't believe that the people in Langqi Village and Shangqi Village would not be jealous when they saw it.

Moreover, the information gap is very large these days. They may not even have been to Ludao, so it is impossible for them to know that this thing has been produced in the country.

Li Duoyu planned to buy more goods and lower the price. Then, he would sell them to them and make a profit from the difference. He might even get two sets of black pearls for free.

Li Duoyu started calculating on the spot. If the sales were really good, maybe he could get the agency rights for that area.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Comrade Chen, if I buy five sets, how can the factory offer a discount?"

Chen Zhouqing scratched his head and said, "Boss Li, we all have the same factory price. There's really nothing we can do about it."

Li Duoyu was too familiar with this sales pitch. The unified factory price was all nonsense. As long as there was a price, everything could be negotiated.

Li Duoyu thought that their profits must be horribly high: "This is the price for one set, this is the price for five sets. Your factory is not sincere."

Li Duoyu turned around and was about to leave: "How about I go to the factory next door to take a look?"

"Mr. Li, don't worry. If you really want it, I won't take my personal commission or sales. I'll give you the best discount I can. If you take five sets, each set will be 4,300. What do you think?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "You see, this is negotiable, how about this, I'll give you ten sets, and the price is 4,000. If we can negotiate, we can make a deal. If not, I'll find another buyer."

Chen Zhouqing blinked and almost wanted to curse. This Mr. Li was not much older than himself, but why was he bargaining like a veteran?

The previous five sets were just to trick him. After he knew he could bargain, he directly lowered the price to the bottom.

"Boss Li, you're cutting the price too much. I really can't make the decision. If I sell it at this price, I'll be scolded by my peers. I have to ask our factory director and get his signature."

Li Duoyu smiled and nodded. After hearing this, he knew that this matter was almost certain to happen.

Just as Li Duoyu guessed, the salesperson did not go to see the factory manager, but went to his office to drink a few sips of tea.

If he sells five sets at 4,300 each, he can still make some commission.

But if he sells ten sets for 4,000 yuan, he will get almost no commission, but he can still achieve more sales.

An extra 40,000 in sales is quite good. If the performance is good, you may be promoted to manager.

The young man named Chen Zhouqing hesitated for a moment, then picked up a signed document on the table and trotted to Li Duoyu.

"Mr. Li, our boss said that this is our first cooperation, so he will give you the biggest discount."

Looking at the deeply wrinkled piece of paper, Li Duoyu did not expose him. He just felt it was a pity and felt that the price could be lowered.

Li Duoyu took another look at the black pearl processing factory and found that this kind of electronic assembly was really profitable in this era.

If the circuit chips are imported, it will definitely not be very expensive. The profit will be at least four or five times.

I feel that in this era, as long as you seize the opportunity, it is almost the same as printing money.

But different trades bring different fortunes. He may be able to do breeding, but if he were to do this, he really wouldn't be able to make this much money.

After placing the order, Li Duoyu asked with a smile: "Comrade Xiao Chen, your factory should have a truck. We are on an island and the ship is a bit far away. Can you help us get it over there?"

"If we can pull it to Nan'an Wharf, there will be no problem."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "I'm really sorry, we are not very familiar with Nan'an Pier, so the boat stopped at Heping Pier in Ludao."

"what."

Chen Zhouqing was stunned: "Mr. Li, Lu Island is really too far away. It costs money to send a car. You may have to pay some more travel expenses."

Li Duoyu said in embarrassment: "Well, how about I buy nine sets first, and after deducting one set, I will have enough money to pay for the travel expenses."

The young salesperson was really about to burst into tears. He really wanted to give a thumbs up to Mr. Li in front of him. He was awesome. Really awesome. You’ve got me beat to death.

When faced with this kind of customer, he really has no idea what to do, but he really wants this order.

Because this boss is not the kind of person who would waste time, his goal is very clear, which is to get the high-power black pearl.

"Okay, we'll send it to you."

Four hours later, the truck arrived at the Heping Wharf of Ludao. When the salesman saw the fishing boat to be loaded, his mouth twitched.

The young salesperson said, "Mr. Li, it should be possible to install it. Do you want us to send a technician over? It's free." Li Duoyu thought for a while.

"No, this thing is not difficult, we can install it ourselves."

"Okay, can you give me a business card? If there are any problems with the product, we can contact you. Our factory will also make regular return visits."

Li Duoyu really didn't expect that there is such a service. It seems that there is no such thing as three guarantees or warranty now.

After getting the business card, the young salesperson followed the driver back to Nan'an.

But he kept looking at the business card in his hand, the company name on it, and the main business on the back.

【Eel farming】

【Kelp farming】

【Oyster farming】

【Prawn Farming】

【Aquaculture technical services】

The young salesperson was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly knew who Mr. Li was.

"Fuck, it's actually him."

The driver rolled his eyes and said, "You scared me. Why are you so excited? Who is that person?"

"Li Duoyu from Dandan Island, a millionaire who specializes in breeding, and is often on TV and in newspapers."

"It's him, but why is he so stingy? He doesn't even want to pay for the shipping."

The young salesman said, "When have capitalists ever been generous? We made so much money for the factory, but they are so stingy with their year-end bonuses."

After getting the equipment, Li Duoyu couldn't wait to return to the island. He spent two full days installing the two sets of black pearls.

A mother machine is placed at the shrimp farm, and a slave machine is placed at the eel farm. There is also a mother machine at the eel farm, and the slave machine is placed on the fishing boat.

In this way, even on a fishing boat, Li Duoyu can contact Qixing Bay through the eel factory at any time.

These two days, I was quite curious after seeing Li Duoyu pulling the line there, on the day of the "Super Ropeless" test.

Many fishermen came to the eel factory, more than thirty people, all gathered around the small landline phone.

Li Duoyu drove the boat out and picked up the "Second Brother" in his hand about one kilometer away.

I pressed the button above to connect to the mother machine, but for a moment, I didn't know what to say.

"Hey Hey hey."

"I'm Li Duoyu, can you hear me?"

The one who didn't want to reply was Lao Lu. He said disdainfully: "I can hear you, I can hear you. Everyone can see your boat. Go further away."

"Then I'm going to La Liga Reef. Don't hang up the phone. Our service is free and we can keep talking."

As the fishing boat sailed further and further away, everyone could still hear Li Duoyu shouting, "Hey, hey, hey, I can hear it."

Old Mi was tired of hearing this and shouted, "Duoyu, you keep yelling 'hey, hey, hey'. It's so boring. Sing a song for everyone."

Li Duoyu said speechlessly: "Why should I sing for you? There are so many of you, just find someone to sing for me."

"We are all rough people, how can we sing? Back then, didn't you carry a three-in-one machine and sing and dance in the square?"

"That was a long time ago."

“Only three years ago.”

"One song."

Li Duoyu said: "You forced me to do this. Don't blame me when the time comes."

But unexpectedly, Li Duoyu was stopped after singing just two lines: "From now on, you should stop singing and let Teacher Zhou do it."

Zhou Xiaoying was rarely shy or refused, and with everyone's encouragement, she sang a nursery rhyme.

"

月亮 在 白莲花 般 的 里 穿行

晚风 吹 来 一 阵阵 的 歌声

我们 坐 在 高高 谷堆 旁边

听 妈妈 讲 那 的 事情
"

Zhou Xiaoying has a beautiful singing voice, but she seldom sings outside. She only teaches students to sing in school.

When the children who were watching heard her singing, they began to beat the rhythm on their own initiative. After the song ended, a group of children kept clapping.

But after hearing this song, Li Duoyu's eyes instantly turned red, and his memory was pulled back to a long, long time ago.

"Duoyu, do you remember which song you sang the first time I taught you to sing?"

"So many years have passed, how could I remember?"

Zhou Xiaoying said:
"It's "Listen to Mom Tell You About the Past". Do you know why I want to teach you to sing this song?"

"do not know."

Li Duoyu looked at Zhou Xiaoying who was weak on the hospital bed. Although they grew up together, he didn't know her at all.

Beside the bed, the son replied with red eyes: "Because when mom was little, she was really lonely and missed grandma very much, and this song was the only song she could sing about mom."

Li Duoyu bit his lip, wiped his eyes, then grinned and continued driving towards the La Liga Reef.

"Duoyu, why are you so quiet? Teacher Zhou sings so beautifully, why don't you applaud?"

"I didn't applaud because I could hear tears falling."

"Is it really that exaggerated? You are so heartless that you even cry when listening to music."

"That's because my wife sang it. If you want to sing this song, Old Lu, I will spit on your face."

"I am your elder after all. When you were a child, your parents were busy and I took care of you. Can you please respect me a little?"

"Let's talk about it next year. This year I'm the boss. I'm the biggest. You have to respect me."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing. There was really something wrong with what Duoyu said.

After Li Duoyu drove the boat to Xijia Reef, he shouted, "We are at Xijia Reef. Can you hear me?"

"OK."

If Xijia Reef is fine, Li Duoyu thinks Qixing Bay will be fine too, since the distance between the two sides is about the same. (End of this chapter)
