1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 118 Two Hong Kong Islanders

 The way deputy director Yang Zairong kowtowed to those Hong Kong Islanders made Li Duoyu feel very uncomfortable.

However, it is also normal in this era. Everyone has a blind worship of overseas provinces, Hong Kong Island and gringos.

To put it bluntly, most Chinese people nowadays believe that the air abroad is sweet.

 The people who live in Dandan Island are still proud to have relatives in overseas provinces.

Lao Ye's successful escape made the people on the island envious and wished they could have relatives in high-ranking overseas officials out of thin air.

What impressed Li Duoyu the most was that five years ago, a **** with a SLR camera came to Dandan Island, and the whole village came to watch.

 Coupled with the impact of shipments.

 Everyone is very envious of their life, and they all feel that after arriving with them, they will have a new life. This is one of the reasons why smuggling became popular in the later period.

Just like Chen Wenchao now, his eyes are shining after seeing these Hong Kong Islanders.

Seeing an outsider in the reception room, the deputy director frowned. When he saw Li Duoyu, his face turned dark instantly.

Last time the big leader came, it was supposed to be an opportunity for him to perform, but it turned out to be his home court. I didn't expect to meet him in the reception room again this time.

And he heard from Wang Dapao that six months ago, this man was a street kid with an afro.

Last time about kelp farming, he wanted the Wang brothers to raise kelp. When the time came, he would directly take the leader to the 100 acres of kelp field.

 Unexpectedly, the two brothers were so unsatisfactory that one hundred acres of kelp was gone, which made him a little passive recently.

 Due to some special channels, he knew that Director Zheng might be transferred next year.

The success of the kelp farming project also made everyone pay attention to the existence of Zhang Qingyun again. The two of them were originally in a competitive relationship.

People outside call him the director, but in fact, this is a false position, and the power in his hands is not much greater than that of Zhang Qingyun.

If Zhang Qingyun is allowed to rise this time, it is not certain who will be the director next year.

 And he knows very well that from now on, the higher authorities will increase investment in marine aquaculture every year. If it achieves results, there is a high probability that it will enter the market.

 So these days, he spent a lot of effort to contact these distinguished guests from Hong Kong who wanted to come to the mainland to invest in seafood farming, just to get a chance back.

This "distinguished guest" has enjoyed the admiration of others since he came to the mainland, but the young man in front of him looked at him with a plain expression, which made him very curious.

“Director Yang, are these two colleagues in your unit?”

This Hong Kong Islander named Zhang Binru just finished speaking, and a female translator beside him helped him translate into Mandarin.

 Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu felt it was a bit funny, but it was understandable. After all, at this time, most people on Hong Kong Island did not speak Mandarin, and mainly spoke Cantonese and English.

Deputy Director Yang said coldly: "How is it possible? They are just two fishermen with no education."

 Next, Yang Zairong treated Li Duoyu and the others as if they were nothing, and introduced the Fisheries Research Institute to the two Hong Kong Islanders.

 Finally, we talked about kelp.

Li Duoyu didn’t know where he offended these two Hong Kong Islanders. They actually looked at the newspaper that published him and said:

“Kelp, for us, is just the lowest-end ingredient. We Hong Kong people don’t like to eat it. If we want to cooperate, we must cooperate to raise abalone and sea cucumbers.”

“I understand, I understand.” The words of the two distinguished guests made Yang Zairong extremely happy. He really couldn’t see something as cheap as kelp.

What Yang Zairong didn’t expect was that Li Duoyu would greet him in a friendly way:

“What a piece of shit. After eating the leftovers of foreigners for a few years, I have completely forgotten about it. I really think how advanced I have become. It’s so **** pitiful.”

 One of the Hong Kong Islanders clearly felt Li Duoyu’s contempt and asked the translator:

 “Xiao Zhu, what is he talking about?”

The female translator named Xiao Zhu looked troubled: "He is praising you for your good looks."

 “That’s it.”

Hong Kong Islander smoothed his hair. He was indeed very confident in his appearance, because after arriving on the mainland, many girls looked at him affectionately.

Deputy Director Yang's face was dark, but he did not dare to get angry on the spot, because he knew that Li Duoyu was essentially a street kid. If he really scolded him, he was worried that Li Duoyu would make the two distinguished guests angry.

Li Duoyu shook his head helplessly: "You are really mean. He laughs when you scold him, but you can't even understand the motherland."

Deputy Director Yang was almost ready to kill someone with a knife, and the two Hong Kong Islanders could clearly feel Li Duoyu's ridicule. They frowned and asked: "Xiao Zhu, don't lie to me. This man is not good at all." It’s like he’s complimenting us.”

The corner of the female translator's mouth twitched, she looked at Li Duoyu bitterly, and finally smiled and said: "No, this person is born with a bad face. He just praised you for your good temperament."

Seeing that Li Duoyu still wanted to scold him, Deputy Director Yang quickly took the guest away from the place.

After seeing them leaving, Chen Wenchao, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help laughing and said:

 “Brother Yu, you are so awesome.”

“How do you do it, scold them, and they still laugh?”

“Because they are stupid.” Li Duoyu said, “If they didn’t leave, I would have wanted to become a nationalist.”

Chen Wenchao asked curiously: "What is the quintessence of the country?"

Li Duoyu said meaningfully: "The quintessence of Chinese culture is a great art. As long as it is spoken, everyone can understand it."

 “Are you so awesome?”

  “Can’t.”

Actually, Li Duoyu didn't want to curse, but these two **** showed off their superiority to his head. If he didn't curse them, he would feel very sorry for himself.

However, Li Duoyu felt relieved when he saw that they were discussing raising abalone. This was definitely a project that would kill people.

Because abalone farming still has a long way to go, he knows it best as someone who has experienced it, even if he has mastered the entire abalone farming technology.

 But in this era, he didn't dare to breed abalone, mainly because abalone is really delicate, and in summer, it will die easily.

It’s okay, let Deputy Director Yang help you step out of the way first.

However, during the conversation, Li Duoyu always felt that there was something wrong with the two Hong Kong Islanders, not so much like the businessmen from Hong Kong Island.

At that time, it was true that many people from Hong Kong came to invest in the mainland, but in his previous life, Li Duoyu heard from others that there seemed to be a lot of people who came to cheat on food, drink and women at that time.

 When Deputy Director Yang left.

  Section Chief Zhang and Chen Dongqing happened to come over and happened to see Deputy Director Yang with a dark face.

 After arriving at the reception room.

Section Chief Zhang couldn't help but ask: "You kid, what did you do again to make our deputy director so angry?"

Li Duoyu looked helpless.

“I didn’t do much, I just exchanged friendly greetings with the distinguished guests brought by the deputy director. I didn’t expect the deputy director to be so angry.”

 Zhang Qingyun and Chen Dongqing looked at each other and smiled. They felt that there must be something wrong with this boy's "friendliness".

However, look at that Yang Zairong being defeated.

 The two of them were very happy because they and Yang Zairong had completely broken up over the kelp farming issue.

If he were allowed to go up, neither of them would be able to reap the benefits, so now they would strongly support anything that could make Yang Zairong suffer.

“I heard from Dongqing, are you planning to raise oysters next?” Zhang Qingyun asked.

Li Duoyu replied: "Yes, the cultivation of oysters and kelp can be staggered. In the second half of the year, I really want to cultivate oysters."

Zhang Qingyun looked at the watch on his wrist, and then said: "I think it's still early. If you are not in a hurry to go back, can we go directly to the oyster breeding base to talk?"

"sure, no problem."

Li Duoyu also likes people who do practical things.

Please give me a monthly ticket and subscribe.

Next, I will replace sea oyster with raw oyster. In fact, both are oysters, but the names are different between the north and the south. To be more serious, in the 1980s, oysters were called "oysters" on Dandan Island.
