In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Shanghang Road.

At the headquarters of Xinyuan Group, the female boss had just gone to a banquet and came back right away, in less than an hour.

Seeing that she was so calm that it was a little scary, Zhu Sulan, as a secretary, didn't dare to ask any questions, but she didn't dare to say nothing either.

"Mr. Chen, have you had dinner yet? Do you want me to go downstairs and pack you a bowl of Lao Hua?"

As soon as Chen Yuansu took off his coat, the female secretary quickly stepped forward to take it and hung it up to tidy it up.

"Not very hungry."

After Chen Yuansu sat down on the leather office chair, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you think of Director Li's speech today?"

The female secretary was stunned for a moment, then replied: "I was standing outside the door, so I couldn't hear it clearly."

Chen Yuansu glanced at her and continued, "Isn't he afraid of offending people when he said that? I wanted to help him tonight, but he ran away so quickly."

Zhu Sulan smiled and said, "If it were me, I would run away too. After all, I would offend a lot of people if I said that."

"Didn't you hear it?"

Zhu Sulan made a bitter face: "I didn't hear it very clearly, but I still know the general meaning."

Chen Yuansu frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Has the cooperation agreement between Haixin and Minlong been finalized?"

"done."

"Let me have a look first. We have to be on guard against people like Director Li. We need to add some clauses."

Zhu Sulan asked curiously, "Mr. Chen, what other terms do you want to add?"

"He released the eel farming technology without consulting us. During our cooperation with him, we must add a clause that the core shrimp farming technology must not be released to the public. Otherwise, how can we make money?"

After hearing what Mr. Chen said, Zhu Sulan felt that it made sense. The boss finally came to her senses. Although they were familiar with each other, there should still be boundaries.

But the next second, she felt unwell. Mr. Chen frowned and said, "Let's go over the cooperation agreement again tonight and hand it over to Haixin and Minlong respectively tomorrow."

"now?"

Chen Yuansu asked back: "Otherwise, when?"

Zhu Sulan shut her mouth on the spot. At this moment, she wished that a handsome guy would come and take her boss away.

As long as she is in a relationship, she won't have to stay in the company all day, and I can relax a little. Otherwise, if I always follow her, I might become a single woman.

This reminded her of the blind date she had during the Chinese New Year. When the other party heard that she was Chen Yuansu's secretary, he rejected her tactfully without even a few words.

This made her speechless and angry. She originally wanted to refuse first because she really looked down on the other person, but she didn't expect to be rejected first.

She was so angry that she wanted to hit someone and wanted to go on a blind date again. When she saw him, she said, "You are too ugly. I don't like you."

Although her salary is high, the job of a secretary is not something that people can do, so she started working on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

I went to Minlong on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and I had to work overtime on the seventh day to revise the cooperation agreement. I have to contact both parties tomorrow.

And it's not just about work. As Mr. Chen's personal secretary, she also has some extra tasks, which is to secretly report the situation to the old man regularly.

She certainly didn't dare report the indescribable awkwardness that Mr. Chen felt towards Director Li, but she had no problem knowing what Mr. Chen did every day and how his schedule was arranged.

Originally, the old man had arranged for a young man to attend this banquet and meet with Mr. Chen.

But she came back so early that the other party probably hadn't been able to talk to her yet.

"Ugh."

Zhu Sulan sighed. She had a bad feeling. She felt that if Mr. Chen continued like this, the probability of him remaining single would be too high.

If I were to hang out with her, it would probably be difficult for me to find a partner. In that case, I might as well make more money and raise a little puppy to serve me in the future.

Just as Zhu Sulan was grinning, Chen Yuansu snorted, "My mouth is watering. Hurry up and bring me some laohua. I want some large intestines and pork kidneys."

"Suck it, I'll be there right away."

……

The most luxurious presidential suite of the Foreign Trade Hotel is where a young man from Hong Kong Island lives during this period.

in the suite.

The young man, who is in his early thirties and has a slicked-back hair, cuts off the front end of the cigar with a special pair of scissors.

The next second, a man with a Mediterranean look next to him hurriedly took out a "chicken explosion" lighter and bent over to light it for him.

But the young man shook his head and said:

"Boss Chen, you don't understand. If you use a lighter to light this, people will laugh at you. It's best to use a match. You have to wait a few seconds for the sulfur to dissipate, and then slowly light it."

After saying that, the young man lit two matches and slowly ignited it. Du Haijun was usually very anxious when doing things, but he was very disciplined when smoking cigars.

He learned all these from the bigwigs in Hong Kong Island. Smoking a cigar should be calm and elegant, not impatient, and should be done with a sense of ritual.

Although he was overshadowed by Li Duoyu today and was rejected by Chen Yuansu, Du Haijun did not get angry.

Because during this period of time, he earned much more money than their two companies.

As for Chen Yuansu, he thought he was very powerful and swallowed up Haixin's shares, but in fact, Haixin only accounted for a very small part of all his project investments.

If they had a good relationship, she wouldn't even have to spend money, and it could be given to her for free. Unfortunately, this woman was blind.

She would rather have a good relationship with Li Duoyu, who smells like fish, than accept his kindness.

Du Haijun was not in a hurry, but some people were very anxious. Chen Youze from Sansha Cannery was so anxious that his face was twisted.

If the payment for the goods wasn't in his hands, he would have wanted to start cursing. It's just smoking a cigarette, why is there so much fuss?

See him light up his cigar.

Chen Youze asked kindly, "Boss Du, our finance department has gone to our bank several times and they said the project payment has not yet arrived. Can you give us a definite answer as to when it will arrive? Our factory really can't afford to delay."

Du Haijun exhaled a puff of smoke and shook off the cigar ash. "Boss Chen, you must be patient when doing big things. It's difficult for me to ask me for money several times a month like you. It takes time for funds to turn over. How about this, as long as we ship the second batch of goods, the other party will naturally transfer the money to us."

Chen Youze's face was solemn. "Boss Du, I'm not asking you for money all the time. You have to tell me who our partner is. If we don't find Rongcheng Foreign Trade Company to cooperate with such a large volume of shipments, I really feel a little bit empty. If you cooperate with a foreign trade company, then I will definitely not be in a hurry, right?"

Du Haijun sneered:
"I have my own channels, why should I cooperate with them? I remember we agreed at the beginning that you only need to deliver the goods to me, and the project funds will naturally go to your cannery's account."

Chen Youze looked distressed, but cursed in his heart: "Then why don't you give it to me? You keep drawing the cakes but there is no money at all."

According to regulations, all foreign trade exports in Rongcheng must go through foreign trade companies under the Foreign Trade Bureau.

Although earning foreign exchange is the most important thing at this stage, it is still a violation of the rules. If they really investigate, he will definitely not be able to escape. He also guessed that Du Haijun had no intention of going through formal channels from the beginning, but he had already given him a batch of goods.

It was like being on a pirate ship. It was too late to get off now. After leaving the suite, Chen Youze came to the corridor and said to a person who was waiting for him:

"Boss Sun, I'm really going to be killed by you this time. The loan was borrowed by our cannery from the bank.

Now I can’t get paid, and Mr. Du hasn’t said clearly when he will pay me, and he’s still using unconventional methods. Since I started working with you, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep. It’s really a sin.”

Chen Youze really regretted it, but what he regretted even more was that he did not listen to Li Duoyu.

A month ago, Li Duoyu from Dandan Island called and asked about the canned hairtail fish and asked him to pay attention to it.

But at that time, he was dazzled by the high returns promised by Du Haijun. What's more, many equipments of Sansha Cannery needed to be updated.

I was in urgent need of earning some foreign exchange so that I could get a foreign exchange quota, so I agreed to his request. However, I didn't expect that this man looked very sanctimonious, but it was difficult to get along with him.

What a hypocrite and a real villain. He even had a bad feeling that Mr. Du didn't seem to intend to give him money.

Sun Xiangdong, who had left Haixin not long ago, had a lot more white hair. After following him for a while, he finally figured out that Du Haijun came to the mainland to make money.

Relying on his identity as a Hong Konger, he did business openly, but in fact it was Haixin Company and the industries he invested in.

But those were all smoke screens. In reality, this guy was a smuggler.

During the Chinese New Year, he made several million by sending out a cargo ship full of various canned goods. No wonder he looked down on the little money Li Duoyu earned.

And using his identity, many things are really convenient. Even if the cargo ship is inspected, as long as he shows his identity, says that the relevant procedures are being processed, and gives the other party some bribes, no one will make things difficult for him.

Faced with huge profits, Sun Xiangdong has been jumping back and forth for a while, but after hearing that President Du has not paid Chen Youze for the goods.

Sun Xiangdong finally understood one thing: this young man was very cruel and probably didn't even treat them as human beings.

But if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. A young man like him has so much wealth.

Sun Xiangdong felt that he could not control the situation and failure was a matter of time, but once he failed, he would definitely be the next Zhang Sanming.

Seeing that Chen Youze's eyes were almost red, Sun Xiangdong patted Chen Youze on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. When the time comes, I will notify you and try to get you to the ground safely."

Chen Youze couldn't help but curse, "It's like this, and you still say it's okay, Mr. Sun, you should know exactly what that Hong Kong guy is doing. If anything happens to him, we'll both be finished with him."

"Damn it, I shouldn't have known Zhang Sanming in the first place. If I had gotten involved with you guys, I should have lived in the same room with Li Duoyu."

A lawless area in Hong Kong Island has been filled with a foul smell recently, and the reason is that many people ate the same canned food during the Chinese New Year.

In the narrow alley.

A young man held his stomach and kept knocking on the wooden board, cursing, "You bastard, you've been in there for so long, come out now and let me take over."

"My legs are weak and I can't stand up."

"I told you guys not to take mainland products, but you still had to bring them back for me to eat."

"Fuck him, if I knew which bastard brought this thing to Hong Kong Island, I would kill him with a knife."

Just two days ago.

There was a batch of canned food being sold at a very low price in Hong Kong Island. Many people were poisoned after eating the canned food and were hospitalized, which attracted the attention of the local anti-smuggling team.

After investigation, many clues pointed out that the canned food in question were all from the mainland, and this matter was also listed as a key focus by the local customs anti-smuggling team.

After leaving the Foreign Trade Hotel, Li Duoyu took a taxi to Rongcheng Wharf, then walked a few steps to a nearby street selling New Year's goods.

Many shops are closed during the Spring Festival, but some shops selling New Year's goods are doing good business.

As the Lantern Festival is approaching, the doors of some incense, candle and lantern shops are crowded with adults and children coming to buy.

Li Duoyu also came over and found the rabbit-shaped lanterns were pretty, but what he liked was the foldable paper dragon.

This thing.

The little bastard at home would definitely like it. Li Duoyu shouted on the spot: "Boss, how much is this paper dragon?"

"Two dollars each."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly. He didn't expect it to be so expensive. But considering that there are no machines now and it is almost all handmade, it seems worth the money.

"Then give me four. And how much is this rabbit lantern?"

"Two for the rabbit, too."

"Give me three, too."

After Li Duoyu bought the lanterns, he returned to Rongcheng Wharf. The old man watching the boats at the wharf smiled and said, "Director Li, you are going back so soon."

Li Duoyu nodded.

Ever since the renovation of Rongcheng Wharf, this old man's business has plummeted. Previously, there were only fishing boats here.

Now everyone has gone to the second pier. There are only a few ships here now, but once people stop making money, they feel like they are getting old very quickly.

Li Duoyu sighed, got on the boat, took a bag of dry goods and handed it to the old man, saying, "Happy New Year."

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Just as the old man was about to push the dry goods back, Li Duoyu had already untied the boat rope.

An old man riding a tricycle near the dock saw the young man board the expensive-looking fishing boat.

He instantly knew who the young man was, and at this moment, his face was burning.

If I had really brought a millionaire to my second brother this morning, my second brother would have beaten him to death.

At the same time, I also understood why this person called his tricycle, because if you come to Rongcheng by boat, it is indeed more convenient to call a tricycle.

When Li Duoyu returned to the Xiasha Village Pier, it had already dark, but the lights were on at Zhang Defa's health station near the pier.

Curious Li Duoyu walked in and heard Zhang Defa introducing the condition of the patients in the village to someone in the room.

"Our village's former captain, Wang Dapao, suffered from typical Parkinson's disease. You should keep some emergency medicines in your store."

"Although we are a fishing village, there are still many fishermen who eat it recklessly. We need to prepare more explanations and medicines to make them lose weight."

"Oh, and there's a man named Li Duoyu, who is the village director here. He's a little weak, so remember to prepare some supplements for him. He's very rich, so feel free to give him the best medicine."

"Ahem." (End of this chapter)
