In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Chapter 673 It’s not “Grandpa’s” anymore
After the privatization of Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Plant, Li Duoyu was called in for a private talk by his leader.

After much negotiation, this time the privatization was decided by Minlong Company to contribute one-third of the capital, and the remaining two-thirds was paid in the form of loans.

As for the interest, there was a special discount. The calculation method was so complicated that even Li Duoyu couldn't understand it, but the result was good. The interest was almost zero.

In an office in Rongcheng compound.

Huang Qingfeng made a cup of tea for Li Duoyu and said with a smile: "You have taken over the processing plant. What are your plans next?"

Li Duoyu said seriously, as if he had been injected with chicken blood: "The organization has given me so much support, of course I want to make it bigger and stronger, and create the glory of Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Factory again."

"You kid, you are becoming more and more glib."

Huang Qingfeng continued, "However, I want to point out your grammatical errors. This is no longer the Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Factory, but Minlong. You have to work hard.

And your products are pretty good, especially the kelp and anchovies. You must maintain good quality and try to sell them outside of Fujian Province."

Li Duoyu nodded. As an "old man" whose actual age was about to turn 70, how could he not understand what the leader meant?

This Rongcheng aquatic product processing factory was originally led by the leaders and finally settled in Shangfeng Town. Now that it has been privatized so quickly, it is easy to be criticized.

Moreover, before the privatization this time, Director Huang came to see him in person. To put it bluntly, it was because of his jealousy that he made this meal of dumplings.

If I don't run this processing plant well after taking over, it will be a bit embarrassing. The leader's words sounded light, but they were somewhat of a warning.

It means probably that now this thing doesn't belong to "Grandpa" anymore, it's handed over to you, and you must do a good job.

Li Duoyu also heard from the words that the leader seemed to want him to stay away from Chen Yuansu.

After Li Duoyu left Rongcheng compound, he always felt that the recent series of events were a bit strange, even unreasonable.

Logically speaking, the Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Plant project was originally in the hands of the leader, and Liu Zhengyuan was also the leader's man.

It is impossible for ordinary people to transfer him away, but even if they do, they probably won't be stupid enough to arrange for someone like Zhang Dongxin to come in.

Coincidence?
Li Duoyu shook his head. His experiences from two lifetimes told him that these people definitely had very good brains.

It's like Zhang Dongxin deliberately carried out reforms, and no one knows how many times he was called an idiot by the employees in the factory in private.

But a few people who understand the situation know that his purpose of coming to the processing plant is to short sell it.

"Ugh!"

Li Duoyu sighed and felt that Dandan Island was still the best. It was great to have people like Second Sister-in-law. My displeasure with you was written all over my face.

There are passionate young men like Shitou, who put on a sack and just output a lot of punches, and then was tortured by a married woman. Recently, he started reading romance novels.

There are also people like Zhao Dahai who like to go back to their ex-girlfriends. They don’t like young women, but only like widows.

Thinking of this, Li Duoyu couldn't help but frown. He suddenly found that these people in the village seemed a little abnormal.

At Qingkou Wharf, the salty sea water hits the stone bars, and several small fishing boats are docked near the wharf.

During the period when the processing plant was temporarily closed, the fishmongers' business picked up again and they were all clamoring.

“Good price today.”

The fishmonger, Lao Zhang, who was wearing a Shanghai-brand waist bag, shouted to one of the boat captains, "Old Tiao, if you have any good fish, buy them at a high price."

The captain shouted, "One dollar, I won't sell it for less than that."

The business of fishmongers at the dock has improved, but the shops along the street at the dock have suffered, as the processing plants have been shut down for rectification.

The flow of people has obviously decreased. Some shop owners sighed and cursed:
"Salin, this processing plant has only been open for two years and it has to be closed for rectification. They really have money but nowhere to spend it. They are doing it in vain."

"Director Liu is doing a good job, but he has to replace him with a rookie who knows nothing."

"Humph, it's just like transferring money from one hand to the other. If you don't make any efforts, you won't make any money."

The owner of Lao Chen's seafood restaurant at the pier has had his brows furrowed like a mountain recently.

The suspension of the processing plant for rectification had the greatest impact on him. Under normal circumstances, many factory employees would come out to have a bite to eat at noon.

Some bosses who come to the factory to discuss projects would also come to his restaurant to eat.

In order to provide better service to these bosses, he expanded the store and put in several new tables, but now the business has disappeared.

His daughter chose to study abroad, and although most of the money was paid by the government, Mr. Chen was worried that his daughter was too thrifty, so he still gave her some extra money.

At about this time, several workers appeared on the roof of the processing plant, holding tools in their hands and dismantling the old sign.

After seeing this scene, many people felt a sense of "disappointment at a failure", and several shop owners along the street couldn't help but start cursing again.

Old Chen also looked helpless. If the processing plant didn't fall, he might as well just reduce the size of the store.

But when they saw what was happening behind, their eyes widened. The workers were definitely removing the signboards.

However, only the two words "Rongcheng" at the front of (Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Factory) were removed, and then replaced with two big words (Minlong).

After seeing the new sign, the shop owners and even the fishmongers at the dock were all dumbfounded.

"Fuck."

"Fuck."

At this moment, they had no idea how to describe their feelings. Of course, they knew who the boss of Minlong was.

A fishmonger at the dock said, "Fuck! Li Duoyu is so amazing! He took down the processing plant directly."

"He has made so much money in the past two years, it is entirely possible for him to buy this processing plant."

"I feel like he is most likely the richest man in our county right now."

A fishmonger shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. In the past two years, many overseas Chinese have returned to invest. I heard that a man named Lin next door has donated money to build a port before he even came back."

“Overseas Chinese definitely don’t count.”

"If overseas Chinese are not counted, then Li Duoyu should be the richest."

A fishmonger said with emotion: "When he was smuggling, he would call me Brother Wang whenever he saw me. Now I feel like I am not even worthy of polishing his shoes."

"Not really. If you really want to shine Director Li's shoes, I can still help you contact him."

"Your uncle's."

Old Chen looked at the new signboard and felt a little dazed. It seemed that the processing plant would be reopening soon.

This was originally a good thing for him, but when he thought about the young man who used to drink and brag in his shop with messy hair, he still felt a little unbelievable that he had taken over the processing factory. The day after the sign was changed, the Minlong Aquatic Products Processing Factory reopened for business, and some old employees returned to their posts.

At the same time, a recruitment card was placed at the factory gate.

[Minlong Aquatic Products Processing Factory is recruiting skilled workers, with a monthly salary starting from 40 yuan.]

Seeing this salary standard, many fishermen and people working at the dock were tempted.

A long queue formed immediately that day, and some elderly people even came with fish and fish-killing knives and started practicing right in front of the people.

"I'm very good at killing fish. No fish can survive for more than a minute in my hands."

Another woman held a small knife and said, "Are there any oysters? I can pry them open very quickly."

Seeing that the other party was carrying a knife, the staff in charge of the interview was scared and broke out in a cold sweat. It seems that he will have to check the belongings they carry with them during the next interview. Otherwise, it would be a bit scary if he encounters someone who is irritable or hard to reason with.

The aquatic product processing plant slowly got back on track. Although Li Duoyu had never shown up at the processing plant, he held a meeting for them.

But we still had contact with the original leadership of the processing plant.

In a meeting room at the Qixingwan Breeding Base, a group of middle-aged people with an average age of 40, holding a pile of documents in their hands, reported their work to a young man who was not even 30 years old.

Although this young man looked very young and was not even a few years older than their children, these people were a little nervous.

After privatization, this young man has great power in his hands, and their stay or departure depends entirely on his word.

And at this critical juncture, they all want to prove their value to the factory.

Director Yang of the workshop was the first to report: "In the past two days, I have organized people to overhaul all the equipment in the factory, and all ten production lines can operate safely."

"."

Manager Cheng from the Human Resources Department is a middle-aged woman in her forties:
"Because many people left before, there is a big shortage of staff in the processing plant now. However, according to Mr. Li's salary plan, recruitment has been very popular in the past two days, and it is expected that the task will be completed next week."

"."

After listening to their reports patiently, Li Duoyu said modestly:
"There are many old acquaintances here. Speaking of which, Director Yang and I often meet. There are many things in the processing plant that I don't understand very well. I will have to rely on you in the future."

After listening to Li Duoyu's speech, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. Compared with Zhang Dongxin, Li Duoyu was really much more humble.

What they fear most is the kind of people who start meddling in other people's affairs as soon as they take office.

But just when everyone thought so, the girl next to Li Duoyu came out with a whole stack of written materials and distributed them to each participant.

Li Duoyu held up a copy of the Food Safety Management Standards and Regulations and said, "It's like this. A few days ago, I had a long discussion with Director Liu. Director Liu also felt that our factory did have some problems, so I asked someone to draft several new rules and regulations based on our factory's situation. You can take a look at them."

When the original leadership of the processing plant saw those rules and regulations, they were completely dumbfounded, and some of them started to complain wildly in their hearts.

"Is this what you mean by not understanding?"

There were many details in it that even they found difficult to notice. They just took a quick look at it a few times and found that the young man in front of them had almost mastered the entire logic of the plant's operation.

Are you playing modesty with us?

Seeing them concentrating on reading the materials without saying anything for a long time, Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Don't take it so seriously. These rules and regulations were drafted by a friend of mine, who is an outsider. Do you think there are any places that need to be revised?"

A middle-aged man twitched his mouth. He really wanted to say: What's the point of revising it? They don't have the ability to revise it at all.

But when the words came to his lips, he turned into a flattering smile: "Mr. Li, these rules and regulations are very well written, we will definitely implement them well."

"really?"

Li Duoyu was a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have such high requirements. As a food factory, the first thing we have to do is to ensure that hygiene standards are met, and we strive to ensure that there is not even a strand of hair in our food."

Manager Zhang, who is in charge of food hygiene and safety, smiled bitterly. He just glanced at the rules and regulations.

There is a food packaging code inside. Once there is a problem on a production line, the production date and production line can be directly traced back through the code on the food packaging.

Moreover, the rules and regulations clearly state that once a food safety issue occurs, the relevant leaders, team leaders and assembly line workers will be held accountable depending on the severity of the problem.

The division of responsibilities is very clear. Once this set of regulations is implemented, no one will dare to act recklessly.

Everyone thought that Li Duoyu didn't know much about processing factories, but unexpectedly, they themselves were the clowns in the end.

After reading these rules and regulations, everyone felt ashamed of themselves. They had been working for more than ten or twenty years, but they didn't know as much as a layman.

Li Duoyu smiled. To him, these rules and regulations were just a drop in the bucket.

The sushi restaurants where he worked illegally in his previous life had crappy rules and regulations that were even more terrifying than the one he was given.

In short, those years of working illegally were a hardship for Li Duoyu, but they were also good experiences.

After discussing the rules and regulations, Li Duoyu finally determined the future development direction of the Minlong Processing Plant.

In a short period of time, with the cooperation with Dandan Island, we mainly focus on various dry goods, mainly producing dried squid, dried oysters, dried fish and other seafood.

Li Duoyu plans to launch a grilled squid shreds product under the name of Minlong Aquatic Products Processing Factory after a while.

Since the processing plant reopened, the fishing industry on Dandan Island has been instantly activated, with fishing boats going out to sea to fish.

It happened to be the giant squid season, so my uncle and my third uncle drove a big boat to the open sea to fish for deep-sea giant squid.

The stronger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, and the further out to sea, the more valuable they are. The resources near the coast are becoming increasingly scarce. Ever since Li Duoyu took over the processing plant, many fishermen on the island are now considering buying big boats.

Old Lu gritted his teeth, got the seal from the village committee, and went to the village credit union to borrow nearly 100,000 yuan. He also planned to build a big ship.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that during this period, Manager An was actually several versions ahead and started using hunger marketing.

The supply of anchovies was deliberately reduced, causing many channels to run out of stock.

But people are really like this, the more they can’t buy something, the more they want to buy it.

When some scalpers found out, they quickly stockpiled a batch of goods and sold them on the streets at double the price, selling a bottle for three yuan, and some even dared to shout out an exaggerated price of five yuan.

The phone of Minlong Distribution Company was bombarded with calls from various dealers. After the call was connected, all of them came to ask when the goods would be available.

But An Yuliang was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he started to promote a new product to these channel distributors.

"We will launch a grilled squid dish in a while. Would you like to try it?"

A female employee, holding the squid shreds that Mr. Li brought over, ate them and replied:

"Mr. Zhang, the shredded squid we are about to launch is really delicious, the quality is guaranteed, and it is crunchy and fragrant. I like it very much."
