In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

In fact, Li Duoyu was only a little drunk, but there were some things that he had kept in his heart for too long, and he really wanted to find someone to talk to.

So, he took advantage of the alcohol to secretly tell his wife something, and then shamelessly hugged his wife to be close to her.

"It stinks. It smells like alcohol."

"It's been more than five months. It's okay. I'm very gentle."

Zhou Xiaoying gritted her teeth and said, "I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, why is Chen Ziyi here?"

"I don't know either. I'm a big boss now after all. It's impossible for me to ask about everything. Everything is arranged by Manager An."

"sleep."

After Zhou Xiaoying turned off the lights, she turned around and snatched away all the quilts, but she couldn't stop smiling.

This year, the pier of Dandan Island is as lively as a small market. If it were not an island, it would be inconvenient for people in the town to come here, and it seems that the market in the town would have to move to another location.

The market in the town was a lot quieter than in previous years because there were fewer people from Dandan Island.

At the town committee, Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao were also somewhat emotional. The money earned by the entire Minlong was now more than that of the entire town combined.

Mayor Gao said helplessly, "I feel like we are no longer worthy of Director Li. He used to come visit us during the Chinese New Year, but now there is no one around."

Chen Shulin was also helpless: "Just stop talking, Duoyu doesn't owe us anything. On the contrary, because of Minlong, our town committee has gained a lot of benefits for free."

Mayor Gao snorted, "I asked him to help me find an accounting position, but he was so hesitant."

Chen Shulin was a little surprised: "Lao Gao, do you want to get Xiao Jing into Minlong?"

"There are only a few people in the credit union, and they are all married. If she continues like this, she will definitely not find a partner. It would be better to send her to Minlong. There are many people there, and maybe someone will be interested in her."

Chen Shulin took a sip of tea and said, Gao Jing is already thirty years old. Nowadays, most people get married and have children in their early twenties. If you are not married by the age of thirty, it will really break your spine.

"But Minlong's finances are managed by Li Yaoguo, who is Xiaojing's classmate. Aren't you afraid that Duoyu's second sister-in-law will make trouble? Let me make it clear that if that day comes, I will run away first!"

Mayor Gao sighed, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Shulin shouted, "Come in."

After pushing open the door, there appeared a thin and dark young man, carrying a lot of things in his hands.

"Secretary Chen, Mayor Gao."

"You're all here. The New Year is coming soon. Here are some small gifts: some tea, wine, and canned gift boxes produced by Minlong."

After saying that, Li Duoyu handed two exquisite gift boxes in his hand to the leader. These gift boxes were designed by Wu Shaoyan.

To put it simply, it is specially used for gifts. It contains not only local craft green and red wines, but also rock tea from Wuyi Mountain.

The rest are Minlong Foods, including two cans each of anchovies, kelp shreds, and canned jellyfish, three packages of grilled squid shreds, and some fine dried goods, such as dried shrimps and dried oysters.

"Duoyu, you are too polite. Just coming to see us is enough. Why do you need to bring anything?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Thanks to the leaders for taking care of us this year. One should never forget the people who dug the well. If it weren't for the support of the two leaders, Minlong would not have developed so well."

Mayor Gao looked slightly displeased. He naturally knew that this kid was just talking for show. As the business grew bigger, this kid became more and more cunning.

What surprised Gao Yuntian was that Li Duoyu said next: "Mayor Gao, last time I heard you say that Sister Jing was planning to work in a different place?"

Gao Tianyun nodded, and was a little surprised. Didn’t I ask you to smooth things over last time? Why are you bringing this up again today?

Li Duoyu said, "It's like this. When Mayor Gao mentioned this to me last time, we at Minlong really didn't have a position worthy of Sister Jing. It just so happens that our company will set up a headquarters next year, and we are currently lacking a talent like Sister Jing."

Gao Tianyun and Chen Shulin looked at each other, and they both felt that if they were half as good at talking as this boy, they would have been promoted long ago.

Although he knew that the boy was just being polite, Gao Yuntian was happy to hear it.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. By the way, Mr. Li, are there many single young men in your company?"

"is acceptable."

Li Duoyu naturally knew what Mayor Gao meant. In fact, the young men in their company were very popular and were the main targets of matchmakers.

"Then after Xiaojing passes away, can we hold a few more social gatherings? As a father, I really don't have any idea what to do."

Li Duoyu smiled and replied, "I understand, boss. When Sister Jing comes, I will definitely find a way to organize more social gatherings and team-building activities, and strive to eliminate the number of older unmarried young people in our company."

Gao Tianyun put his arm around Li Duoyu's shoulder and said, "I have a bottle of aged red wine that someone sent me. Do you want to have a drink? Your sister-in-law is a very good cook."

Chen Shulin was speechless when he heard this. The old colleague who had just been trying hard to arrange things for Li Duoyu was now so attentive that he wanted to invite Li Duoyu home for dinner.

"If you want to eat, go home and eat. Mr. Li and I have something to discuss."

Chen Shulin quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Duoyu, I have something I want to ask you. If we develop another textile business in our town, do you think it can be done?"

Li Duoyu pondered for a while and decided that if the historical process was followed, the future development direction of their town would indeed be centered on the textile industry.

But because of his appearance, the entire aquaculture industry was developed and the balance tipped in his favor.

"Yes, it can be done. Now that people's economy is gradually getting better, the demand for clothing is getting higher and higher. The textile industry is definitely a sunrise industry in the next few decades."

Chen Shulin smiled and said, "I think so too. Look at those Hong Kong people on TV. They all wear such beautiful clothes. After we develop, these work clothes will definitely be phased out. There are so many people in the country..."

Chen Shulin talked to Li Duoyu for nearly three hours on the spot, and at the end, Secretary Chen finally got to the point.

"Mr. Li, do you want to invest?"

Li Duoyu looked at Secretary Chen with a smile. He was indeed optimistic about the textile industry, but many times, human energy was limited.

He is already having a hard time managing Minlong Company. If he gets involved in the textile industry, which he has no knowledge of at all, Li Duoyu feels that he may not be able to do well.

"Secretary Chen, my personal ability is limited. If Minlong makes more money in the future, I will definitely invest."

"Ok."

Chen Shulin was just asking questions, but in fact, he had already attracted an investor, a returned overseas Chinese in the town.

Most of the equipment and funds were provided by this overseas Chinese. However, this overseas Chinese was quite interested in Li Duoyu and wanted to get him to join the business together, and Chen Shulin acted as the middleman.

After chatting for a long time.

Li Duoyu sailed back to Dandan Island, but unexpectedly found that the pier was full of people and the village loudspeaker was broadcasting.

[Dear villagers, please pay attention. There are salesmen from our Fu Ri TV Company selling TVs at the dock. If you want to buy a TV, please go to the dock immediately.]

Even though he has been reborn once, Li Duoyu still feels that this era is really magical. On the one hand, you have to provide TV tickets to buy a TV.

And this part belongs to the She family.

But in some places, you can also buy a TV directly, but it will be a little more expensive than in department stores. This part is capitalist.

Simply put, this is the dual-track system unique to this era.

People with connections can get tickets and buy things at low prices. And people without connections can still buy those popular goods as long as they are willing to pay a little more.

The difference between the two is the benefit of some people.

Li Duoyu remembered something Old Tang said to him in his previous life.

Nine hundred million out of one billion people fell.

There are still 100 million to be found.

This is probably the true portrayal of this era. Many people with connections in the city don't need to go to work at all. They just need to find ways to get various kinds of money every day.

Although the TV is not cheap, they sell it right at your doorstep. If you don’t buy one, it would seem like they are not generous enough.

"If I don't want the coupon, I want a 16-inch black and white TV." A villager named Xu Fugui raised his hand.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a villager immediately advised: "Old Xu, trust me, grit your teeth and go straight to the color TV. If you are still watching black and white now, no one will come to your house to watch it later."

"I bought the black and white one just because I was afraid you would come to my house and see it."

"Just pretend."

When Li Duoyu heard this, he inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable. The development of Dandan Island in the past two years was really too fast.

I remember that at this time in my previous life, except for the Wang brothers, everyone else in the village was lucky enough to have a TV, and no one cared whether it was in black and white or color.

It’s not like now. If I buy a black and white one, I still feel a little out of date. This is too pretentious!
Wang Xianghong, an electrician in the village, struggled for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and shouting, "I want a 16-inch color TV."

After making this decision, Wang Xianghong sighed: "If I really buy the TV, I won't be able to eat pork for half a year."

One villager joked: "If we can't afford pork, we'll just eat fish. That's how we got by in the past."

Wang Xianghong said: "Fish meat is not cheap now. Besides, my family doesn't have a fishing boat. Why don't you sell the seafood to me at a low price after you catch the fish?"

"Sure, do you want a big-bellied fish?"

"Fuck you, I'm from the seaside and I'm going to eat this."

Li Duoyu smiled. The big-bellied fish they were talking about should be the anglerfish. Not only is it ugly, but even the fishermen dislike it. Usually, if they catch it, they will sell it as miscellaneous fish.

In Japanese cuisine, it is a rare delicacy, but for a chef, he really doesn't like to cook monkfish, mainly because it is troublesome to kill and even more troublesome to cook.

This year, due to the departure of Xinyuan Group, the market is very chaotic. Unlike pork, the output of seafood is very unstable and not so easy to regulate.

In addition, the supply and marketing cooperatives have rarely sold seafood, which directly leads to the fact that seafood prices mostly follow the market.

The fishermen really made a profit this year. They earned a lot of money by collecting kelp seedlings.

Coupled with the sharp rise in seafood prices this month, some fishermen have earned the annual salary of most people in just these two months.

Others may have to spend a whole year's salary to afford a TV, but for the villagers of Dandan Island, as long as they are willing to work hard.

As long as you work hard during the three months of picking and collecting kelp and fishing during the New Year, you can very likely earn enough money to buy a color TV.

Nowadays, the villagers have money in their pockets, so consumption has naturally increased. This time, the sales of TVs were very good. In just one day, they sold 20 TVs on Dandan Island, and most of them were color TVs.

The salesperson was completely confused, and some people who came late were still asking, "Will you come back tomorrow to sell?"

The salesperson quickly said, "Come on, of course!"

Before leaving, the salesperson looked at the Dandan Island in front of him and couldn't help but say, "Fuck, the people on Dandan Island are so fucking rich!"

In addition to those who came to the island to sell televisions, the mainlander who originally sold Li Duoyu fireworks chartered a boat this time to sell directly on the island.

The whole boatload of fireworks was quickly sold out, and half of them were bought directly by Chen Atai, the big boss of the neighboring village.

They spent more than 10,000 yuan on the shopping and finally got the big deal. This year they plan to celebrate well and set off fireworks until dawn.

The two brothers who came here to sell fireworks were completely dumbfounded. This was the fastest fireworks sales since they started the business.

But this time, besides selling fireworks, they had a more important purpose, which was to find a way to purchase the products of Minlong Company.

He had made a phone call before, and the canned anchovies and grilled squid strips were still in short supply. If he wanted to get these two items, he had to pay the full amount.

But they were also afraid of losing their money. They happened to go to Shangfeng Town frequently to sell fireworks, so they thought they might as well try their luck and see if they could get any goods.

Finally, I went to the town and asked.

Only then did they realize that the young man who gave them the business card was the boss of Minlong Company.

So the two of them decided to hire a boat and take the fireworks to Dandan Island to sell.

Selling fireworks was just a side job. The two went to the island to sell fireworks for only one reason, and that was to deliver fireworks to the boss of Minlong Company.

"Mr. Li, long time no see."

After seeing the two men, Li Duoyu smiled and asked, "How are the fireworks selling?"

"The people on your island are so awesome. They sold out in just half a day." As soon as they finished speaking, the two pushed the best fireworks into the courtyard of Li Duoyu's house.

"This is the newest type of fireworks we have produced in Liuyang in the past two years. Not only are the colors beautiful, but there is also a roar after it is launched into the air. It is very good."

Li Duoyu turned around and was about to get the money, but Liu Neng, who was selling fireworks, waved his hand quickly: "No need, Mr. Li, I really don't want any money."

However, free things are always the most expensive. After all, you have to be grateful for what you have received from others. And it just so happened that Li Duoyu really wanted to buy some fireworks.

Li Duoyu had a good connection with these two people, so he gave them two large boxes of Minlong seafood gift packs in return.

In addition, they were given a note allowing them to bring a truckload of goods back home.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to watch the Spring Festival Gala again. Compared with previous days, their courtyard was full of people.

It seems a little quiet this year. Only our neighbor Wang Po, Lao Hu, my second brother, and Sister Shuihua are watching TV at home.

After all, there are more people with televisions on the island now, and we don’t have to have hundreds of people watching one TV like before.

The color TV in Li Duoyu's home is still the Toshiba TV that Liu Yun compensated him with, and as the Spring Festival Gala began.

The TV suddenly went dark again, and little Tutu was the first to shout, "Dad, go hold the signal pole."

What a traitor!
Li Duoyu's mouth twitched. It seemed that he had not watched the Spring Festival Gala properly in all these years. (End of this chapter)
