In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Seeing Lao Zhang hanging out with these fishmongers again, Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask, "Lao Zhang, are you doing your old business again?"

Lao Zhang nodded: "That's right. After all, it's still the most comfortable to do what you are good at."

Li Duoyu pointed to a nearby processing plant and asked, "Are you not working there?"

Lao Zhang sighed and said, "It's boring. The new guy started to make all kinds of innovations and reforms right after he took office. I just said something that he didn't like, so he asked him to leave."

"Ah~~"

Li Duoyu was also a little surprised. He knew that Director Liu was returning to Rongcheng, but in order to avoid suspicion, he did not have dinner with them.

Li Duoyu originally thought that the new official would not take office until at least after the New Year, but he did not expect that he would take office before the New Year.

But after listening to Lao Zhang's simple explanation, I felt that he was not a pushover and was somewhat petty.

However, Li Duoyu felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He felt that it was a very vivid picture because this kind of person fits his inherent impression of organizational leaders.

The foundation had been dug and the publicity was in place, but the leader was transferred away before the project was officially launched. As soon as the new leader took office, he never mentioned the project again.

There were even reports that the approval was unsatisfactory, the local ecology was damaged, etc. As a result, an unfinished construction site appeared on the island.

Having lived two lives, Li Duoyu is no longer surprised by things like this.

After all, competition in their circle is fierce, and the higher you go, the fewer positions there are.

In order to climb up, everyone tried their best to show their unique abilities.

Li Duoyu thought that Lao Zhang was a quite interesting person. When his processing plant was established in the future, he could ask him to come and help.

I glanced at the processing plant not far away, and felt a mixed feeling in my heart.

After all, we have cooperated before, but after Director Liu leaves, we will be competitors starting next year.

The processed aquatic products that Li Duoyu plans to launch in the future will definitely be hot-selling products.

For example, grilled squid strips, black bean clove fish, spicy dried fish, instant kelp strips
Once Li Duoyu's processing plant is established, the new leader will probably be under a lot of pressure.

And that's how business works. As long as there is meat to eat, everyone will take a bite. Even if he doesn't eat the meat, someone else will.

Thinking of this... Li Duoyu felt that it was about time to call Manager An Yuliang. He happened to have traveled to many provinces in the past two years and should have accumulated a lot of channels.

We have to call him back quickly, otherwise once he goes wild, it will not be easy to "recruit" him.

When Li Duoyu arrived at the dock, the fishmongers, including the dock manager, were all very polite to him.

They all greeted him with a smile, calling him Director Li.

After he left, many fishmongers were envious and jealous, as they were quite familiar with Li Duoyu.

When we were smuggling, we came to Qingkou Wharf quite often and we were considered a frequent visitor here.

But I didn’t expect that in just over three years, he would become a millionaire.

He is even richer than Brother Shui who was in the town back then, and he earned his money in an honest way.

What makes everyone envious the most is that the price of farmed shrimps this year is so good that Li Duoyu can make a fortune just by selling those shrimps.

A fishmonger looked at the dismal business at the dock and couldn't help saying, "If business is still this bad, I will quit next year and join Director Li in aquaculture."

Lao Zhang snorted: "Don't be jealous when you see others making money. Do you think farming is so easy to make money? You need skills and abilities."

Li Duoyu and his uncle came to Lao Chen's stir-fry restaurant, but the scene in front of them made them suspect that they had come to the wrong place.

It's been a while since I last saw it, and Lao Chen's stir-fry restaurant has changed a lot. It used to be a very ordinary store with a mixture of stone and red bricks.

The door was also the kind that was made of many wooden boards inserted into slots, but now the store has not only been renovated, but also has an iron door.

The store has expanded three or four times, and the sign has also become much bigger.

If Li Duoyu hadn't seen Lao Chen still busy in the store, he wouldn't have been sure that this was the restaurant he used to eat at.

But it's normal to think about it. When he came last time, Lao Chen's store was doing good business.

Now Qingkou Wharf has become a deep-water port with many ships coming and going, and the processing plants and customs are also here.

The overall flow of people is quite large, and there are only a few restaurants nearby, so it is normal that the business is good.

As it was lunchtime, the restaurant was full of people. Li Duoyu and his uncle quickly found a seat to sit down.

The customers in the store were already shouting, "Boss, give me a portion of fried hairtail."

"Are there any cheap shrimp?"

In the kitchen, a familiar voice replied, "Nothing is cheap. Shrimp is very expensive this year. Even a slippery shrimp costs six dollars."

"Boss, are the salt and pepper shrimps ready? We've been waiting for almost half an hour."

"Can't you hire more people? Can you two run such a big store?"

"Sister Yun, why aren't you here? Let her help serve the food."

There are actually quite a few people who come here to eat just for Chen Xiaoyun.

Especially at the customs, many singles wanted to pursue this top student who came out of this small restaurant.

Old Chen, who was holding a plate of salt and pepper shrimp, snorted, "Just eat, what are you thinking about? My daughter is an international student now, how could she possibly serve you food?"

The young customers at the customs were shocked: "Ah! When did you go abroad to study? Why didn't you tell me?"

Old Chen said with disdain: "My daughter is studying abroad, what does it have to do with you? Why do I have to report it to you?"

Several young people sighed: "It's over, it's over, there's no chance now, they've gone abroad to study, they will definitely not come back."

After Lao Chen served them the dishes, he turned around and found Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing sitting in the restaurant. He was so surprised: "Duoyu, long time no see!"

"It's been a long time since we last met." Li Duoyu said with a smile.

Old Chen laughed and scolded: "I thought that after you made money, you would look down on my small shop and stop coming here."

Li Duoyu laughed and said, "After eating so much, I think your stir-fried double crispy dishes are the best. If I wasn't so busy, I would move my home next door to yours."

"You are still good at talking." Lao Chen said confidently: "You are right. Not many people can make this stir-fried double crisp dish better than me."

After listening to their conversation, Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yun, are you going abroad to study?"

Old Chen replied proudly, "Yes, her instructor thought she was very good, so he recommended her to study abroad. There were only two places available in the entire school."

"Xiao Yun is amazing!" Li Duoyu was very happy after hearing this. After all, he had watched this little girl grow up.

When I first met her, she was still a little girl and often helped out in the store.

In a blink of an eye, she has gone abroad to study. But when thinking about the cost of studying abroad, Li Duoyu couldn't help asking: "The cost of studying abroad should be high, can you afford it?" Lao Chen smiled bitterly and said: "If you can't afford it, you have to bear it. As long as she graduates successfully, it will be like a carp jumping over the dragon gate."

Li Duoyu nodded. Anyone who can study abroad now will definitely have a bright future as long as they are willing to come back.

After all, at that time, there was no such concept as a fake university, even if you went abroad to study in an unknown technical school.

For most people, its status and position is much higher than that of Peking University, Tsinghua University and Fuhua University.

This is also the fundamental reason why so many parents wanted to send their children abroad to study. No matter which school it is, as long as the children are returnees, it’s fine.

Old Chen glanced at Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing and asked, "Old Three, let's order something better."

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said, "Let's go with the old three. My uncle is used to being frugal. If he eats too well, he will get diarrhea easily."

Chen Dongqing rolled his eyes at him: "But they are all from the seaside, and they are almost tired of eating seafood. Now I feel that ordinary dishes will taste better."

After Lao Chen ordered the dishes, he hesitated for a while, then mustered up the courage to say, "Duoyu, can you give me the shrimp?"

Seeing Li Duoyu was stunned, Lao Chen quickly said, "If you don't have it, it's okay. I'm just asking."

But unexpectedly, Li Duoyu nodded and said, "How much do you want? I can leave some for you."

Old Chen was pleasantly surprised: "One hundred kilograms will do."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly: "It's so little. Anyone who can come to me to get the goods must buy at least 2,000 kilograms."

"Two thousand kilograms, I can't eat it, and I don't have the money."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Since we are so familiar with each other, I will just give you 500 kilograms."

After hearing this, Lao Chen's eyes widened: "Five hundred kilograms? Really give it to me."

Li Duoyu nodded: "Xiaoyun is going abroad to study, so this is a small gift for her."

"The boss is so generous!" Old Chen smiled happily. Nowadays, the prawns farmed by Li Duoyu are very popular in the market.

As long as there is stock, you can at least make half the money. If you are lucky, you can double the money.

"Today's meal is on me. Just tell me what you want to eat."

"Aren't you afraid that my uncle and I will bankrupt you?"

Old Chen grinned and said, "I'm not afraid of how much food your bird stomachs can eat."

Before eating, Chen Dongqing opened a bottle of wine, filled both parties' glasses, and said:

"Duoyu, there is something I need to tell you. Your aunt already knows about the 5% bonus."

Li Duoyu picked up the fried salted peanuts with chopsticks and ate them savoryly: "You know, this is normal, it will happen sooner or later."

Uncle Chen Dongqing sighed: "But after she found out, she went to ask someone. I don't know where she got the information from, but she also found out the approximate turnover of our shrimp farm."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Does my aunt think you are awesome? Did she reward you with five extra minutes tonight?

"What a reward."

Chen Dongqing picked up the bowl, clinked it with Li Duoyu's wine bowl, and drank all the wine in gulps.

After finishing the drink, he started to complain: "I am almost annoyed to death now. After your aunt knew that I had that dividend, she didn't want to go to work anymore. She also said that the educational resources in the county are not good and she wanted Wenwen to go to the best school in the city."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly, took out his hands and did a simple calculation: "Five percent of the dividend is not much, it seems to be only 35,000, it shouldn't be so bad that I don't even want to go to work."

When the customers who were eating nearby heard this, their ears all perked up.

Thirty-five thousand?
not much?

Some people couldn't help but hum: "Xiao Yun is not in the store anymore, so there is no need to pretend. Who are you pretending for?"

Li Duoyu really didn't expect that
He turned around and said to everyone, "I'm sorry, I just said Japanese yen, which is about 700 RMB. I didn't mean to show off."

The young man at the next table said, "Oh," "That's really not much."

His colleague immediately exposed his mistake: "Seven hundred is not much. If you don't count the bonus, we can only make seven hundred yuan a year at best."

Chen Dongqing looked at the group with disdain, and then said, "Two days ago, your aunt had already started looking for a house and was planning to buy a piano."

Li Duoyu said: "Isn't it good to spend all the money on children?"

Chen Dongqing said helplessly: "It's good, but if they really move to the city, it won't be so easy for me to see them in the future. I can't run back and forth every day."

Li Duoyu looked at his uncle speechlessly: "You are such a hypocritical person. When we are close, you don't want to go home all day long. When we are far away, you are worried that you won't be able to see each other."

Chen Dongqing looked disgusted: "I asked you to come and help me think of a solution. Tell me, what should I do now?"

Li Duoyu thought about it. In his previous life, parents like them were very common. Once they had money, they would buy the best house in the school district.

But Li Duoyu really doesn't know whether this kind of thing is good or bad. There are both good and bad sides to pushing children to grow up.

Anyway, Li Duoyu feels that studying is not everything for children, and parental companionship is equally important.

It would not be a good thing if my father was always away from me because I was reading a book.

But Li Duoyu would not interfere in other people's affairs. Instead, he said seriously:

"If I see my aunt less often in the future, I must provide good service. Otherwise, if we live apart, a Hulunbuir grassland will grow on my head."

"Damn it, can't you just give me a definite answer, whether to let her go or not?"

"You already have the answer, why are you still asking me? Do you think my aunt will listen to me if I tell her not to go?"

"It seems so."

Chen Dongqing drank another bowl of wine and then said, "Come, let's say something happy. Director Zhang will go to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences next year."

Li Duoyu blinked, then said: "Ah, then aren't you now?"

Chen Dongqing nodded: "It's almost settled. Once you sell all the prawns and blue crabs, plus one more shrimp fry, I can go up."

"Niu, how old are you?"

"I'm almost 30, and some people my age have become department heads."

Li Duoyu quickly poured himself a bowl of wine, then said, "Director Chen, you have to take care of me more in the future."

"Call uncle and let him listen."

"Don't even think about it. I'm already lucky enough that I didn't ask you to call me boss." (End of this chapter)
