In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

The tricycle looks big, but it is very flexible and can move back and forth on city roads.

Maybe because he was the only one on the bike, the old man almost sped away, honking his horn from time to time and saying disdainfully to a worker riding a bicycle nearby: "Move over."

Since the wave of strikes, workers no longer have a stable job. Although tricycle drivers don't have much status, when it comes to making money, they earn much more than ordinary workers.

If you are lucky, it is not a problem to earn ten yuan a day, but there are some rules in their industry. If you don't pay some protection money to the organization, you can't attract customers.

The old man pedaled too fast, and Li Duoyu was so scared that he kept holding on to the handlebars on the tricycle seat, fearing that he would be thrown out.

The tricycle passed through the streets. Li Duoyu felt that Rongcheng had changed a lot in the past two years.

The most obvious change is that there are more cars on the road. In the past, there were often jeeps with military green tarpaulins, but now, in addition to these company cars, there are also many imported cars on the road. Some important transportation hubs even have queues of cars.

However, Crown cars are relatively rare, and Li Duoyu originally planned to drive a fishing boat to the breeding base.

Maybe because he was a fisherman, Li Duoyu seemed to prefer driving the boat, so he drove all the way to the end and brought the fishing boat to Rongcheng Pier.

"Yidi, we'll be at the Foreign Trade Hotel soon. Have you made up your mind? If you really want to sneak in, I'll send you to my second brother."

Many tricycle drivers solicit customers and introduce business at the same time. For them, this is a way to make extra money.

If they come across people coming to Rongcheng for tourism, they will take them to the travel agency and earn some commission. If they come across people who want to stay in a hotel, they will go directly to the second brother. If the deal is successful, they may be able to earn half a day's wages.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I've thought about it. Just take me to the hotel entrance."

The old man sighed and said, "I'm not lying to you. Ordinary people like us can't get in. Believe it or not, you can't even get through the security booth."

"If you don't try, how do you know if it works?"

After Li Duoyu paid the fare to the old man, he walked straight inside. The old man was stunned. Although this man was young, he walked like a boss.

What's more, the people at the security booth didn't stop him and just let him in.

He was lucky, but even if he passed the security booth and got inside, if he didn't have some connections, they wouldn't give him a room to stay in.

The old man planned to wait for him here for a while and then take him to find his second brother. However, he didn't expect that the security guard would find him, walk towards him and make a gesture to drive him away.

"Go away, go away, there is a meeting today, don't solicit customers here, this is not a place for you to come."

"Okay, let's go now."

The old man had a smile on his face, but he was annoyed in his heart. Those tricycle riders hated these guard dogs who looked down on others the most.

But usually, these security guards will only come out to drive away tricycles when there are more tricycles nearby. But today, there was only one tricycle, so why would they drive him away?

Is there a meeting today?
After the security guard said this, the old man found that there were indeed quite a few cars heading to the hotel, and there were also quite a few people at the hotel entrance.

Could it be that the security guards thought the young man was attending a meeting and let him in? If so, it would make sense.

The old man parked the tricycle not far away, then looked towards the entrance of the hotel lobby, thinking that he would be asked to come out soon.

But when the young man arrived there, the lobby manager, who was still wearing a skirt and shorts in the middle of winter, greeted him with a smile.

"What the hell!"

The old man felt that he didn't need his brain anymore, as he seldom made mistakes. Those who were in the business of soliciting customers could tell at a glance whether someone was rich or not.

This young man should come from a family with some money, but not much. The suit he is wearing is nice, but just nice. He can afford it if he grits his teeth.

The most important thing is that the young man smelled of fish and his palms were very rough. It was obvious that he was the kind of person who worked a lot.

But how could someone like him know all these big guys? He just took a glance and actually found someone he knew. He looked pot-bellied and was smiling all day long.

When we were at Rongcheng Wharf in the past, everyone called him Manager An in public, but called him the God of Wealth in private.

But when the God of Wealth saw the young man, he actually took the initiative to get close to him. The old man really couldn't figure out the identity of this young man.

The tricycle driver sighed that he knew so many people. It seemed that this young man was really not honest at all. He chatted with him all the way, but he didn't tell any truth to him.

When he thought of this, the old man's face turned red. He had been wanting to introduce him to his second brother.

Judging from the ability shown by the young man at present, Second Brother is probably not even worthy of carrying his shoes. If you really bring such a person over there and make Second Brother lose his job, people will really come after you and fight you to the death.

The old man wiped his cold sweat and cursed inwardly: "How come this guy is just like that bastard named Zhao before, he is just bored. You have status, why do you drive a car or take a taxi instead of a tricycle?"

Unfortunately, the old man didn’t like reading newspapers and there was no TV at home, otherwise he might have really known Li Duoyu.

After Li Duoyu arrived at the lobby, he simply greeted the lobby manager. To be honest, he really admired these people.

He seldom comes to the hotel, but the manager still remembers him and is even ready to call out his name. If he doesn't have some skills, it would be impossible for him to become this manager.

When Li Duoyu arrived at the lobby, he found that Manager An and Xiao Lin were already waiting for him there. After seeing him, they walked straight up.

"Mr. Li, you're here quite early. It seems you got up very early today."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "You've been waiting for a long time."

"No, Xiaolin and I just arrived a while ago."

Ever since the last time the two sides reached an agreement, Manager An's way of addressing him immediately changed, and now the two of them have become in a superior-subordinate relationship.

But the actual situation was that An Yuliang had been waiting here very early, and during that time, many people who knew Manager An came here and wanted to take them in.

Although An Yuliang is no longer in that distribution company, his abilities are still obvious to everyone.

If he had not let the money go back then, the current general manager of Xinyuan Company might not be the same Chen Yuansu.

After he resigned, many companies invited him, but in the end, he politely declined them all. However, I heard that he traveled around with his apprentices.

What surprised everyone was that he actually appeared in such an occasion, which means that the fat man was out working again.

When An Yuliang was at the United Distribution Company, he accumulated a lot of connections and got to know a lot of people who could use his help.

The company certainly won't have to worry about its distribution. Many bosses who came to the banquet, even though they had been rejected by him before, couldn't help but extend an olive branch to him again.

Unexpectedly, his answer was very straightforward: "Sorry, I have already found the next buyer."

Everyone was curious about who the fat man's new boss was. Some people were waiting here just to find out which big boss had taken him in.

But what surprised them was that it was not an electronics factory or a foreign trade company that recruited An Yuliang.

It was a young man with a dark face. Many local bosses in Rongcheng were also quite surprised.

"Why did this fat guy go to work for him?"

A boss from Ludao couldn't help but ask, "Who is that young man? Why haven't I seen him before?"

"You mean that guy, Li Duoyu? He's quite famous in the past two years. He specializes in aquaculture."

"There's only a few dollars to be made from aquaculture. Manager An is wasting his talent. I should have asked him to sell electronic equipment in our factory." After hearing this, the man smiled and said, "Boss Huang, let me ask you something. Are prawns expensive this year?"

"Why are you asking this suddenly? The prawns are really ridiculously expensive this year." The boss surnamed Huang immediately responded: "Is it Li Duoyu who is often in the newspapers?"

"Yes, that's him." The man who was chatting with him nodded.

Li Duoyu brought Manager An to the reporting office in the lobby. Unexpectedly, he met an acquaintance. The staff member in charge of this reporting was He Mei.

She was in charge of publicity. It was she who received him when he went to Rongcheng University for Japanese language training. I remember that Zhang Jinglin was the monitor of their training class, and He Mei was the life committee member of their training class.

Being able to report on this kind of activity, it seems that she has made a lot of progress in the past two years. He Mei smiled and said, "Director Li, long time no see."

Li Duoyu didn't know how to address her, so he just said, "Hello, Life Committee Member."

Hearing this address, He Mei was stunned: "Director Li, you still remember it, it feels like time has passed so quickly, if you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten that we were still classmates."

After He Mei finished speaking, he turned to Li Duoyu and said, "By the way, Secretary Li told me that after signing, if you have time, go to Room 406 to find him."

"whats the matter?"

"I don't know the details. Secretary Li will probably tell you when the time comes."

After Li Duoyu signed, it was An Yuliang and Xiao Lin's turn. Unexpectedly, He Mei was actually very familiar with An Yuliang.

"Hello, Uncle An."

But after An Yuliang signed, he smiled and said, "Hurry up and find a partner, so your father won't bother me every day and ask me to be your matchmaker."

"I want it, but no one wants it."

But at this moment, Xiao Lin scratched his head and said, "Sister He, would you like to consider me?"

Unexpectedly, the other party rejected it very straightforwardly: "No one younger than me, he feels like my brother."

"My brother is good, he is obedient and sensible."

An Yuliang interrupted directly and said, "You two should never get together, otherwise I will be annoyed to death."

"Uncle An, don't worry, it's impossible. I like people who are older than me."

Xiao Lin said: "People older than you are all married."

Li Duoyu's uncle smiled at him the whole time. He realized that the circle in Rongcheng was really small and many people knew each other.

Many of those who came to the banquet were acquaintances of Li Duoyu. Lin Akuan from the sugar factory in the next county was also very happy to see Li Duoyu. He spoke in curry-flavored Mandarin: "Boss Yu, it's really not easy to meet you."

"Brother Kuan, long time no see. I heard your sugar factory is getting bigger and bigger."

"How can you be as big as you? I can hardly afford to eat shrimp this year. You are too powerful. You are almost reaching out to us. There is also a breeding base in Nanri Town. You must have made a lot of money last year."

"It's nothing compared to one of your fingers, Brother Kuan. When your machine is spinning, it's just like printing money."

"Mr. Fish is being modest again. Everyone knows that you earn money by shipping foreign exchange home."

After the two met, they praised each other's business, but Lin Akuan really admired Li Duoyu.

Last year's shrimp plague also affected Southeast Asia, but Li Duoyu actually survived.

Naturally, this kind of news also spread abroad, and some of his friends in Southeast Asia even asked him about Li Duoyu.

Because they all felt that this Li Duoyu was very likely to have mastered breeding technology that was more advanced than that of overseas provinces.

At this moment, two cars came to the door, and the one in front was the latest generation of Crown car.

After the car stopped, the doorman immediately helped open the door.

The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of shiny leather shoes, and a young man in a high-end suit walked down from the boss's seat.

He was the only one sitting in the car. Without waiting for the doorman to help open the door, three other people got out. They were Sun Xiangdong, the former general manager of Haixin Group.

The boss of Sansha Cannery, Chen Youze.

Li Duoyu didn't recognize the other person, but judging from the outfit he wore, he didn't look like an ordinary person.

With these three people following behind the young man, the atmosphere became very cool, and the originally noisy lobby became quiet on the spot.

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. Although he had expected to meet him here, he was still a little unhappy to see the way he appeared. He really couldn't get along with this person at all.

However, the other party seemed to think the same way. Even after seeing him, he didn't even look at him. He went straight to the registration office, signed, and then went to the banquet hall.

When Chen Youze saw Li Duoyu, he wanted to say hello, but when he saw Du Haijun just left, he could only quickly follow him.

Many people present wanted to establish good relations with this businessman from Hong Kong and do foreign trade business, so they followed him into the venue.

Lin Akuan was also a little annoyed with this guy: "Boss Yu, who is this young man? Why does he look so awesome?"

"He used to be Haixin's behind-the-scenes boss, but I really don't know what he does."

Lin Akuan snorted, "If you can't tell me what you do, then you definitely didn't do anything. For people like us who are engaged in the real industry, there is no need to be sneaky. I wish I could write the words "I sell candy" on my face.

I hate those speculators who don’t do business properly and just want to cheat money from other people all day long.”

Li Duoyu couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Kuan, have you ever played the stock market?"

Hearing the word "stock", Lin Akuan gritted his teeth and quickly said to Li Duoyu:
"Damn it, it's all a scam, fishmonger, listen to my advice, don't touch that stuff."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother."

If I remember correctly, there seemed to be a stock market crash in Hong Kong in 1987. Many people went bankrupt overnight, and even a lot of frequent flyers appeared.

But what concerned Li Duoyu more was that Chen Youze from Sansha Cannery was actually getting together with Du Haijun.

This made him think of something. The Sansha Canning Factory was somewhat abnormal. They bought a lot of hairtail at a high price, which directly drove up the price of hairtail.

He also heard from others that the machines in their cannery had never stopped running in recent times, and they had hired a lot of people to keep producing, but the products of the Sansha Cannery were not available on the market.

Feeling that there was something weird everywhere, Li Duoyu frowned slightly, wondering if it could be related to this Du Haijun.

At this moment, another Santana sedan arrived at the door, and the bosses all got out of the car in the same way, almost all of them got out with their feet first.

When she saw the license plate number, Li Duoyu already knew who it was. Not long ago, she had humiliated her severely.

When Chen Yuansu looked in their direction, Li Duoyu quickly said, "Brother Kuan, I'm leaving first."

"Don't worry. I heard that you are very familiar with Mr. Chen from Xinyuan Company. Can you help introduce them to each other? I want to promote the products produced by our sugar factory to their company's channels."

"Let's do it another day. My boss just happened to be looking for me for something. I'll take a look and see what it is." (End of this chapter)
