In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Li Duoyu strolled around the pier and then headed towards the new pier.

It is also very lively there now. The only downside is that it takes about 20 minutes to walk there from Xiasha Village.

There is a bulldozer and an excavator currently repairing the road on the island, but the coastal road is really damn difficult to repair as it is full of rocks.

There is a huge rock every few dozen meters. If we want to build a road, we have to crush the rocks first. It took two months to build a short distance of less than two kilometers.

Finally, the village committee decided to spend more money to widen the road into two lanes in order to speed up the progress of road construction, and finally pave it directly with cement.

The broken stones were pulled to the vicinity of the new dock in order to build a large shelter.

As the number of fishing boats increased on Dandan Island, the shelter at the old pier seemed too small, and a new one had to be built.

Otherwise, when a typhoon comes, the fishermen will suffer heavy losses. Fortunately, small boats can be pulled directly to the shore, but larger fishing boats cannot pull them.

As the economy improves, various hardware facilities on the island are gradually being improved. Of course, not all of the money is paid by the villagers themselves.

Part of it came from financial support from the county, which was obtained by Chen Jianghe, and a total of 100,000 yuan of funds was raised.

It is said that when they received this financial support, no one knew how many people were greedy. However, the money given by the government was not enough to repair roads and harden the road surface, let alone build a large-scale safe haven.

In the end, Minlong donated a part of the money, and the rest was collectively donated by all the villagers of Dandan Island.

So far, the donations received have exceeded 200,000 yuan, and the total funding for the two projects is almost 300,000 yuan.

At the current rate, the road should be completed by the end of the year, and the safe haven should be built a year later.

At that time, the traffic between the two docks will be very smooth, and when a typhoon comes, fishing boats will also have a place to dock.

Li Duoyu's goal is to build a whole road around the island. If it goes well, Dandan Island might be able to develop tourism in the 1990s.

At that time, the villagers who are tired of living in stone houses can live in the new district, and those stone houses can be turned into homestays for tourists.

After all, tourists like the authentic accommodation environment. If you let you stay in a hotel here, they will say that there is no "island flavor".

If the tourism industry can be developed, it will also be a steady source of income for the villagers on the island.

Of course, it is also profitable for Li Duoyu, because he has even thought out the development path of Minlong Tourism Co., Ltd.

At that time, in addition to accommodation, all activities such as sea hunting, sea ranching, and sea fishing will be arranged.

When Li Duoyu arrived at the new pier, he found that it was even more lively than the old pier, and many fishing boats were now docked here.

But no matter how well the dock is built, not all large ships can dock there.

Many boat captains can only park their fishing boats dozens or even hundreds of meters away from the pier.

If they want to get on the boat, they still have to be picked up and dropped off. Of course, some people have already started using foam boats as ferrying tools.

This thing can be said to be a must-have weapon for fishermen. Even in his previous life, Li Duoyu had one, and it is really useful.

If there is no one to pick you up, you can row the foam boat back to the dock. However, be sure to use it with caution when it is low tide and there are strong winds and waves.

Otherwise, you might not be able to row past the waves, and you might be dragged directly to the open sea, which would be very scary.

This happened once to Li Duoyu in his previous life, and he almost lost his life. Fortunately, there were many fishing rafts outside, so he was able to climb onto one of them.

At present, more than 30 houses have been built in the new district, and most of them are two stories high or higher.

More than 30 houses have been built, and Chen Wenchao's family has moved here, mainly because it saves nearly ten minutes to go to the Qixingwan Breeding Base from here compared to the Dandan Island Pier.

Since many fishing boats dock here, Mr. Chen, who owns a fishing tackle shop, opened a store here. Selling fishing nets here would be better than at the old pier.

Sister Li Shuihua also bought a store here and plans to open a store here next year.

In addition to the locals, there are also many outsiders who want to "break out" in Dandan Island. There are fifty or sixty people on the application form alone.

Although it has become popular, the new district still looks a bit desolate. Li Duoyu is not in a hurry. After all, Rome was not built in a day.

Li Duoyu believes that one day Dandan Island will no longer be a small fishing village, but a lively place.

Not long after Li Duoyu walked, he met a group of students carrying fishing rods.

When these students saw Li Duoyu, they suddenly became nervous. Two of them who had fishing rods quickly hid them behind their backs.

One of the female students said nervously, "Principal Li, OK."

Li Duoyu nodded and followed the greeting. He was a figurehead as the vice principal in name only. He seldom went to school and generally did not participate in school affairs.

"Where are you going?"

A classmate scratched his head and said, "We plan to go to the oyster farm. Teacher Luo will give us a lesson today on how to attach oysters to the fields."

"That's it."

Li Duoyu smiled and glanced at the simple fishing rod behind the students: "There are a lot of yellowfin fish on the left side of the field. You can go there to fish. If you don't have bait, you can go to the sand and stone area near the beach to dig. There are a lot of red sandworms."

"Got it. Thank you, Principal Li."

The female student just now couldn't help but ask: "Principal Li, when will you start the class for us?"

Li Duoyu thought about it seriously for a while, then said: "It depends on the school's arrangements. If there is time next year, it should be possible."

In fact, the school had urged him to start classes as soon as possible, but Li Duoyu was really too busy recently and had no time to teach at all.

Looking at the students who went fishing, Li Duoyu felt a little envious. The major of aquaculture is quite interesting.

Not only are there more practical classes, but students can also go fishing when they have free time and bring the fish to the cafeteria for snacks.

Regardless of whether the future will be good or not, at least while you are in school, you will definitely have enough seafood.

There are not many students on the island, only about a hundred. The campus is usually closed to reduce contact with local villagers.

Li Duoyu also forbade villagers, especially the "yellow-haired" ones, from approaching the school in case anyone caused trouble.

Li Duoyu didn't even have to deal with it, because naturally someone would take care of those who caused the trouble and teach them a lesson.

There are always talented people in every generation. Since the end of the era of Agui and Li Duoyu, the "street gangs" in Dandan Island have changed several times. But what makes Li Duoyu a little uncomfortable is that these little bastards actually call Xiao Tutu "Little Boss".

Ugh!
If Tutu grew up in such an environment, Li Duoyu was really worried that he would become arrogant.

After walking a few steps, Li Duoyu arrived at the abalone research base next to the new district. This base was jointly developed by the Fisheries Research Institute and Minlong.

The current main research direction is abalone hybrid seedlings, and the mother plant is the abalone seedlings donated to them by the island country.

Under the leadership of Director Zhang Qingyun, the abalone seedlings have been iterated three times and now an abalone variety called Dandan Island North and South No. 1 has been hybridized.

The name of this abalone is easy to understand, which means southern abalone raised in the north. Now Li Duoyu has bought a live fish transport ship from Norio Oda.

With this ship, we can realize the breeding of southern abalone in the north, and we have already reached an agreement with Shandong.

Li Duoyu originally thought that the work would be difficult to start, but unexpectedly, when he heard about raising abalone, the farms and breeders there were so enthusiastic.

Everyone is vying to cooperate with them. With the popularization of television and the influx of Hong Kong TV dramas, abalone, shark fins and fish maw, which were once looked down upon by everyone, have now become luxury goods among seafood.

It can be said that abalone is sold at a very high price, and there are even many "water ghosts" who dive into the sea specifically to catch abalone.

As for the fish maw of rice fish and yellow croaker, the price has more than increased tenfold in this year alone.

In Li Duoyu's warehouse, there are indeed quite a few top-grade fish maws in stock, which he collected slowly over the past five years.

Whenever he thought of this, Lao Mi felt so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, because he had always been the one helping Li Duoyu collect fish maws.

The prerequisite for raising abalone in the north is that there are fish cages for abalone farming in the northern waters, which requires a considerable investment.

The farmers in Shandong also did not give unconditional support. They also planned to raise abalone and hoped that Li Duoyu could sell them abalone seedlings and provide certain breeding technical support.

As for the breeding techniques, Li Duoyu naturally could not teach them all, but he had already sent some breeding technicians to provide support.

An abalone breeding branch will be established in Shandong by the end of this year to cope with next year's southern abalone breeding project.

Around April next year, all the abalone farmed here will be sent to the northern waters to escape the summer heat, and will be brought back around November.

Li Duoyu drove a small sampan to the abalone farm. So far, the abalone farming farm is the most expensive, but also the best.

Because abalone farming requires frequent walking on the surface and feeding feed into the abalone farming box, it is definitely not feasible to use only bamboo, as it is too easy to slip.

Workers are prone to falling, and these people don’t wear life jackets. Once something bad happens, their family members will definitely come and cause trouble.

If wooden boards are used, the cost will be very high because the fishing raft still needs some supporting strength.

In the past life, the abalone steaks they made were all made from an imported wood called African red malachite.

Since imported wood is no longer available, we can only use local wood instead, which is actually ironwood. This kind of wood is hard and resistant to corrosion and is often used to make furniture and ships.

Once this kind of wood is used to make abalone steaks, the cost will skyrocket, and the customized plastic abalone breeding boxes are not cheap either, costing several dollars for one box.

Li Duoyu spent nearly 300,000 yuan on just five abalone fillets, which was about ten times the cost of kelp.

But the higher the investment, the higher the rate of return. It takes about three years to raise abalone like Li Duoyu. After three years, they can be raised to about 300 to 400 grams, and some outstanding ones can reach half a catty.

These abalones are used to make dried abalone. As soon as Li Duoyu started breeding, President Ou called him and contracted more than half of the orders.

At this moment, Li Duoyu saw a familiar figure on the abalone steak. After the other person saw him.

"Congratulations, Director Li."

Li Duoyu greeted him, "Director Zhang, why are you here in person at the fishing raft?"

Zhang Qingyun smiled and said, "For people in our field, it's impossible to achieve anything if we just sit in the office all the time."

Li Duoyu nodded. This reminded him of an old man who, although an academician, spent most of his working time in the fields.

Director Zhang is right. You cannot achieve any results by sitting in an office. You must go to the fields.

Zhang Qingyun pounded his waist and looked at the abalone steak in front of him. He couldn't help but sighed: "Abalone farming takes too long. Our North and South No. 1 will take another two years to harvest. By that time, I will have retired."

When he said this, Li Duoyu immediately understood what the other party meant and quickly said, "Let us know when you retire, and we at Minlong will immediately hire you as a technical consultant."

"You said it, don't look down on me later."

"How is that possible? For a talent like Director Zhang, the door of Minlong will always be open to you."

"You're just sweeter than your uncle. That guy can't even say a good fart for a long time."

Li Duoyu smiled and asked, "Let me see how the abalone is doing recently."

Zhang Qingyun pulled up an abalone breeding box and untied the ropes on it. It was filled with abalone, about fifty of them.

What they are feeding now is asparagus, of course, you can also soak dried kelp and feed it to them.

It can be said that in aquaculture, abalone is the greenest, because it mostly eats asparagus and kelp.

Of course, when technology reaches a certain level, special abalone feed will be used for breeding. However, compared with other aquaculture, abalone can be said to be a very healthy green farmed aquatic product.

At present, Li Duoyu's row has nearly 500,000 abalone seedlings, and the survival rate is calculated at half.

There are still about 250,000 of them. If calculated based on three years of breeding, it will be about 80,000 kilograms by then.

At that time, even if the abalone steak is only sold for ten yuan per pound, it can still make a lot of money after deducting the cost.

But according to Li Duoyu's budget, the price of abalone in two years will definitely be more than ten yuan, at least doubled.

At least I heard from Old Tang that those who raised abalone in the early days of the previous life all became rich and built mansions in their hometowns.

Li Duoyu also has a big ambition, which is to learn from the Koreans and directly farm abalone in a factory.

When Li Duoyu proposed this idea, Director Zhang Qingyun beside him couldn't help but gasp.

"It seems that I can't retire." (End of this chapter)
