In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

After working on the 3,000 acres of kelp fields, Li Duoyu was almost stripped of his underwear.

He was planning to buy the kelp seedlings on credit. After Li Duoyu told Zhao Jialu the actual situation, he was a little surprised that the millionaire in the eyes of others actually had empty pockets.

"You're not lying to me. I really have no money."

"I'm really out of money."

After all, Zhao Jialu is a brother, and Li Duoyu has no need to put on a brave face in front of him. He has indeed been making money, but he has also been investing.

"You're being too aggressive, aren't you? Why don't you keep some money?"

Li Duoyu wrung out the seawater from his shirt and said, "Let me ask you something. Have you noticed recently that money is becoming thinner and thinner, and things are becoming more and more expensive?"

After hearing what Li Duoyu said, Zhao Jialu thought for a while and said, "It seems to be true. Recently, my mother also said that the vegetables in the farmers' market are getting more and more expensive."

Li Duoyu said: "Three years ago, there were very few people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan, but now it is like mass production. In the past, a pound of mackerel was only 20 cents at most, but now it is 40 cents at most.
I feel that if I keep the money in my hands, it will only become thinner and thinner. If I make money but don’t invest it, and put it in the bank, I can’t afford to grow these 3,000 acres of kelp now.”

Zhao Jialu felt that what Li Duoyu said made sense. His family also told him that now is the crossroads of reform. As long as the right path is taken, a lot of rich people will appear.

Zhao Jialu smiled and said, "If you really don't have any money, I can ask Xiao Su to borrow some for you in case of emergency."

Li Duoyu shook his head: "No need, I still have her car, and I haven't paid for it yet. If I ask her for money again, it will seem like I'm just a gigolo."

"what."

Zhao Jialu's eyes widened: "She wouldn't give you the Crown, would she?"

Seeing his surprised look, Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with this car?"

Zhao Jialu shook his head. He had also heard some rumors. As Chen Yuansu's cousin, he naturally didn't want this to be true.

"If you dare to eat this bowl of free rice, I guess my grandfather will just shoot you with a gun."

"What do you want? A pure partnership."

"That's good."

Zhao Jialu sighed. Her cousin was more of a headache for her family than he was. Chen Yuansu had no plans to get married at all.

He is a complete workaholic and makes his parents at home very angry.

Not long ago, her family arranged a blind date for her with a young man from the capital, but she ended up making him wait for three hours and even stood him up.

He said there was an important business to discuss, and Comrade Lao Zhao was so angry that he smashed the teapot that others gave him.

He also suffered bad luck because of it, and people said that he did not set a good example and led Chen Yuansu astray.

Zhao Jialu felt extremely wronged. This cousin of his had always been a domineering person in the family. Now she was the boss of a group. With his abilities, he couldn't lead her astray at all.

When leaving the kelp seedling factory, Li Duoyu said, "I'll owe you the money for the kelp seedlings for two months."

"no problem."

Zhao Jialu agreed very readily. He was not worried at all that Li Duoyu would not pay back the money.

If they really don’t pay back, we will take the employees of the nursery center to the shrimp farm and catch prawns to pay off the debt.

After leaving the kelp seedling factory, Li Duoyu did not return to Dandan Island, but went straight to Nanri Town.

In more than a month, we can start catching eel fry, but now Li Duoyu has to clean the pond.

Because eel farming is a very rigorous matter, the pond must be cleaned sufficiently and sterilized.

Otherwise, various unexpected diseases may easily break out when raising eels next year.

Fortunately, tilapia grows very fast. In just over half a year, it has grown to more than one kilogram.

Moreover, now each of the tilapia is a big consumer of feed, so they have to be taken out of the pond quickly. Otherwise, if you keep them in the pond any longer, the weight of the tilapia will not increase much, but you will not get any less feed.

What is more regrettable is the bighead carp (Silver Carp). Although this fish grows very fast, it only weighs three to five kilograms now.

At this size, it can only be said to be a minor. If it is raised for another half a year, it will be quite beautiful.

Unfortunately, all the ponds here have to be drained and then dried and disinfected, and even the children have to be cleaned out.

What surprised Li Duoyu was that the price of freshwater fish was very good this year, with the market price of tilapia being as low as 60 cents.

This price is higher than most marine fish, and its sales volume is even better than most marine fish.

Li Duoyu also conducted a survey at the farmers' market because of this matter. The reason was that the price-performance ratio was really high.

Although tilapia has a strong earthy smell, for most people, it is good enough to have it, so they don’t care whether it has an earthy smell or not.

Even if it has an earthy smell, if you fry it directly or braise it, all the smell will be gone.

Although the market retail price is very high, the farm price at Li Duoyu's place is only about 25 cents.

Teacher Liu has calculated that the yield of tilapia per mu is about 1,000 kilograms, and there are more than 20 earth ponds in Nanri Town, covering an area of ​​nearly 200 mu.

Li Duoyu did a simple calculation and found that after cleaning all the tilapia from the pond, he could sell them for about 50,000 yuan.

The price of bighead carp is higher than that of most marine fish. In the farmers' market, the retail price is as high as one yuan.

The pond price is around 40 cents. Unfortunately, the breeding density of this fish is not very high. Although each fish weighs three to five kilograms, after all are sold, the price is almost the same as that of tilapia.

After deducting all the labor, feed, and miscellaneous expenses, Li Yaoguo did a simple calculation and found that he made about 70,000 yuan from this breeding.

No wonder some people said before that you can really make money by raising tilapia. This profit really made Li Duoyu somewhat tempted.

After all, the risks of freshwater aquaculture are much smaller than those of seawater aquaculture. If the entire reservoir could be used for aquaculture, you would make a fortune that year!
Faced with nearly 200 acres of freshwater fish, Li Duoyu thought for a while and finally sold them all to Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company.

Chen Yuansu was naturally very happy. He waved his hand and deducted his 100,000 yuan payment for the goods, which was just enough to offset the payment for the Crown.

The female secretary was dumbfounded on the spot. She had originally estimated that it would sell for at least 150,000 or 160,000 yuan, but she didn't expect it to be only 100,000 yuan.

This is simply half-selling and half-giving away.

Zhu Sulan has been nagging all day long and usually scolds me the harshest, but when it comes to talking about price, you are the most easily persuaded.

What made Zhu Sulan speechless was that Li Duoyu looked reluctant and even wanted to return the car. He seemed to want the 100,000 yuan payment more.

Zhu Sulan really wanted to say, you don’t want it, but I do, and I can make at least 60,000 or 70,000 yuan by selling it.

Zhu Sulan was really confused. What was in the minds of these two big bosses?

One sells at a loss.

One of them was disgusted to death. In fact, she was always a gossipy person, and had been secretly observing the two of them, but she found that it was just plain water, without a single spark.

On the contrary, one looks more and more like a sexually apathetic person, while the other is a 100% wife-doting maniac.

Apart from their cooperative relationship, the two parties are simply people from parallel worlds. The only thing they have in common is that both of them are excellent.

However, this time, Mr. Chen sold the car at a low price, and everyone in the group was very dissatisfied. As expected, all kinds of rumors emerged again.

They are all slandering Mr. Chen.

Director Li also suffered as a result.

But what Zhu Sulan didn't expect was that after just two days, this group of people immediately shut up and changed their expressions.

After Mr. Chen sold the car to Li Duoyu at a low price, the other party directly placed a large order with him.

Minlong Company has guaranteed that it will provide at least five tons of prawns to Xinyuan Aquatic Products during the Chinese New Year sales period.

In the past, Xinyuan Aquatic Products really looked down on these five tons of prawns, but now it is different.

She knew how popular the shrimps from Li Duoyu's shrimp farm were.

This year is different from previous years. Once the shrimp plague broke out, shrimp farmers from south to north were almost wiped out, and even the number of wild shrimps decreased significantly.

Nowadays, the price of shrimp has rebounded in retaliation. At its lowest point this year, it was only two yuan.

But it's not even the Chinese New Year yet, and the price of prawns starts at at least eight yuan. It is estimated that the lowest price of prawns during the Spring Festival will be more than ten yuan, or even higher.

She also visited a shrimp farm and found that Director Li's shrimps were of very good quality. Each shrimp was very large and they were all top-quality shrimps.

In short, everyone knows that when the time comes, no matter which dealer it is, as long as they can get the goods from Director Li, they will definitely make money.

This year, their company was also affected by the shrimp plague and did not make any money for the entire quarter, and even suffered losses for two months.

They were all holding back their energy and wanted to make a comeback by the end of the year, and this order from Director Li was like timely help.

The group of people who used to gossip behind his back all shut up, and during the regular meeting, they even kept emphasizing: "Mr. Chen, we should get along well with that Li Duoyu."

"Our two companies are considered brother units. If there is a chance, we can definitely hold a social gathering together."

After hearing this, Zhu Sulan really despised these people. When they lost a little money, they said that Mr. Chen was unclear. But when they saw a way to make money, they wanted to sell Mr. Chen out.

She couldn't help but curse, "Little man."

At the Qixingwan Shrimp Farm, Li Duoyu looked at the Crown in front of him and suddenly felt that it was not so attractive.

Fortunately, it is not completely useless. Winter is coming soon, and this car can turn on the heating, so it is still quite warm to hide in the car.

Or just find some time to drive and take the family on a trip. Zhou Xiaoying has always wanted to go to Huangshan.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. There are still many ruthless people in this era, and traveling is still a rather unreliable thing.

Inside the factory, Li Yaoguo pushed his glasses frame with a frown on his face. The account book on the table was already thicker than the Xinhua Dictionary.

And these are only the accounts for these three months.

Because in these three months, Li Duoyu spent a lot of money, especially on the 3,000 acres of kelp fields, and the miscellaneous expenses have seriously exceeded the budget.

What worries him most now is that there is no money in the company account again, and next month's wages are about to be paid.

Li Yaoguo couldn't help but grumble and complain: "Can you not be like this every time? Think a little more before doing things and leave some money for the company.

We are not a small company anymore. Together with the people in Nanri Town, we now have more than 150 people. The monthly salary plus other miscellaneous expenses alone is at least 15,000 yuan.

And your three thousand mu of kelp fields will soon be planted with kelp seedlings. By then, our island will definitely not have enough workers and boats, and we will have to rent boats and hire workers, which will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars."

Li Yaoguo frowned and said, "We are no longer a small company. I hope you will at least consult with me, the financial officer, before spending any money."

Li Duoyu laughed:

"Brother, don't worry. The batch of bamboo products we cooperated with Brother Ou will be shipped soon. By then, we will be able to earn some foreign exchange."

Li Yaoguo rolled his eyes and said, "When can the goods be shipped?"

"About half a month later."

"When will the money arrive?"

"It may not be that fast. The money will be transferred to the account of the Foreign Trade Bureau first. After the other party receives the goods and confirms that there are no quality problems, the money will be transferred to our account."

Li Yaoguo said speechlessly: "That happened a long time ago. Next month, we won't be able to pay wages, not to mention that we have to hire people to pick up kelp seedlings."

"Brother, don't get excited yet. I'll take care of the money problem and make sure I can pay you on time next month."

Li Yaoguo stopped there. Although he complained, he still knew who the boss of this company was.

In fact, he was not worried that Li Duoyu would be out of money, because Lao Si's batch of blue crabs and prawns were very good.

In the two months leading up to the Chinese New Year, dealers came to their place almost every day, all to look at the goods.

Even people from the two neighboring provinces came, and even the big restaurant owners in Shanghai came along.

They also saw the business opportunity. When this prawn was placed on the table during the New Year's Eve dinner, it would definitely be the most beautiful thing in the village.

If you invite guests to a restaurant, it would be very honorable. The most important thing is that the prawns cooked by Li Duoyu are all very big.

In short, the current situation is that Li Duoyu’s large prawns are really in great demand, and many bosses come to negotiate every day.

But Li Duoyu did not agree. In order to get this batch of goods, some bosses even settled down in the county town and came to grind every day.

But what shocked Li Yaoguo was that the fourth brother actually came up with another outrageous move and organized a prawn buying event.

If you want to buy his prawns, you must first pay a deposit of 20,000 yuan. Only then will you be eligible to buy his prawns. The number of places is limited, with a maximum of ten places.

Li Yaoguo originally thought that the fourth brother was a little whimsical, but he didn't expect that his message had just been released.

All ten spots were snapped up, and before Li Duo even started selling the fish and shrimp, he had received nearly 200,000 yuan in reservation deposits.

"Who said I couldn't pay the wages? Isn't the money coming?"

Seeing Li Duoyu's smiling face, Li Yaoguo was really at his wit's end. He really wanted to pry open the fourth brother's head to see what kind of monster was living there.

I don’t know why, but it seems like it’s really easy for the fourth brother to make money, and he has a lot of clever ideas.
