1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 192 Received a reply

 After eating a feast of oysters.

An Yuliang left Dandan Island by boat. On the boat, his follower Lin Haiqing couldn't help but complain.

“Manager, this village director is too crazy. Not only does he make demands on us, but he also imitates those big companies. Whatever brand he wants to create, he can create whatever brand he can with the little things he cultivates.”

An Yuliang smoked a cigarette, frowned and began to think. Speaking of it, his fate with Li Duoyu must start from that meeting at the credit union.

An ordinary fisherman asked for a loan of 20,000 yuan. At first he thought there was no chance, but unexpectedly he actually got the loan.

 The next time I saw him, it was on an old newspaper.

Being a little curious, he asked someone about it and found out that he had a relative who worked at the Fisheries Research Institute, and it was just a coincidence that he took a photo with the senior leader.

With the mentality of making many friends and making more good connections, he applied to the company to purchase a batch of kelp that the company was not optimistic about at the time.

He never thought about the batch of kelp, but it gave him a sweet taste.

I thought he was just a fisherman with better luck, but I didn’t expect that when I heard news about him again.

I actually went abroad with the inspection team. I heard that because of him, the Fisheries Bureau was squeezed out of a quota.

There was a female colleague named Li Xiuyun in their company who was also a member of the inspection team. After she came back, she submitted an inspection report.

As a small leader of the company, he naturally read the report, but he did not expect that one-fifth of the content in the report was related to Li Duoyu.

　　Why did I catch a fish weighing 600 kilograms, auctioned it for more than 100,000 yuan, and received five fishing rods and a fishing boat as gifts?

　　It made him look stupid.

Li Duoyu's growth rate is really terrifying. It took him nearly twenty years to reach this position.

 It only took this young man one year to go from an ordinary farmer in need of a loan to a village director, and even went abroad for inspections.

 Every opportunity in life,

 He had a firm grasp on it.

Today, when he said he wanted to develop his own brand, An Yuliang was really shocked, because a few days ago, the company leaders held a two-day meeting with them.

 It’s about brand effect, improving visibility and striving to create a first-class brand.

"well."

Thinking of this, An Yuliang couldn't help but sigh, flicking the finished cigarette **** into the vast sea, and saw Lin Haiqing who was still complaining.

An Yuliang couldn't help but feel disgusted: "We are both young people, why is there such a big gap?"

Lin Haiqing was stunned for a moment.

Of course I knew who the manager was talking about, so I said unconvinced: "It's just good luck. No matter how good he is at raising seafood, he will only be a farmer in the end."

An Yuliang said: "Young man, don't be too arrogant. He became the village director at such a young age and has been in so many newspapers. Is it as simple as you think?"

Seeing that the fire was burning on him, Lin Haiqing quickly changed the subject: "By the way, manager, do you want to accept his oysters?"

An Yuliang asked: "If we follow his request, do you think the superiors will agree?"

 “I definitely disagree.”

“Then do you think he can sell these oysters if we don’t accept them?”

Lin Haiqing thought of the garlic oysters and the pan-fried oysters, and replied: "If they are as good as what we ate today, we really don't have to worry about selling them."

An Yuliang said calmly: "Hai Qing, times have changed. It's different from before. I don't have to worry about selling, so I will naturally negotiate terms with you."

Lin Haiqing frowned and said, "Manager An, should we harvest the oysters or not?"

An Yuliang said seriously: "Of course we must accept it, and we must cooperate fiercely."

 “What should I do if the leader refuses?”

An Yuliang glanced at him with disgust: "This is what I, as a person who will retire in twenty years, should think about. You, a college student, don't have any ideas about making progress?"

Lin Haiqing looked bitter and pointed at himself: "Manager, you don't want me to be responsible for this."

An Yuliang glanced at him sideways: "Why else would I have brought you out?"

 “Ah, let me try.”

“It’s not about giving it a try, but you have to give me a complete plan to persuade the leader. If the leader doesn’t agree, then go back to the logistics department.”

Lin Haiqing smiled bitterly.

 After Li Duoyu sent Manager An on board, he returned to the restaurant to settle accounts with Lao Yang.

 “Lao Yang, how much is the total?”

Lao Yang said with a smile: "I don't have much, so I don't need any money. If I hadn't helped recover the abalone money, my restaurant would have been closed long ago."

“One yard equals one yard, if you don’t accept it, then I won’t come next time.”

"Okay." Lao Yang said: "You brought the fried squid rings for 50 cents, the red snails for 80 cents, the clams for 50 cents, and the oysters. The processing fee is also your 50 cents, and the beer is one yuan."

 “A total of three yuan and three.”

"Why is it so cheap? I heard people in the village say that a meal at your place only costs more than ten yuan."

Lao Yang said awkwardly: "What they order is game from the mountains, which is of course expensive. What you order is our local seafood, how high can the price be?"

 “He’s gone.”

 “Walk slowly.”

After Li Duoyu left the restaurant, he did not go home directly. Instead, he sat on the stone strips of the pier for a while.

 He was also thinking whether the condition he had just put forward to Manager An was a bit too hasty.

But Li Duoyu also feels that some things are the same whether they are done early or late. The sooner the brand starts, the better it will be.

Li Duoyu hopes that in the next few years, when others see the four words Minlong Food, they will immediately think of Dandan Island.

Just like the original goods, when everyone thinks of buying imported goods, the first thing that comes to mind is Shangfeng Town.

Since the words have been spoken, let’s wait for Manager An’s reaction. If it doesn’t work, he has nothing to lose by giving in.

 After all, business is for negotiation.

 After blowing the sea breeze.

Li Duoyu checked the time. Xiaoying was about to finish school, so he just asked her to help write a few land contract contracts.

Just sign it directly with the people in the village at night.

 And on his way back.

Li Duoyu happened to meet the postman who had just gotten off the boat.

“Director Li, here is a letter from you.”

 “Thank you.”

Li Duoyu glanced at the mailing address on the envelope and didn't expect that Ma Xiumei, the wife of Mr. Shi from an overseas province, had already replied.

 After Li Duoyu broke the seal.

After a brief glance, I found that the words inside were crooked. Not only did there be many typos, some were even replaced with "hieroglyphics".

Li Duoyu didn't find it funny. On the contrary, in this era, not many people knew how to read.

Especially in rural areas, it is normal to be illiterate. People like his parents, second sister-in-law, Chen Wenchao, and Zhao brothers only know some big characters.

If you really want them to write a letter, they probably won’t be as good as this letter.

 It seems that I need to find some time to apply for some funds from the town to open a literacy class.

The general meaning of this letter is: She is not Ma Xiumei, but her neighbor. The letter also says that Old Man Gao’s parents are no longer alive, and Xiumei also remarried with her children thirty years ago.

She and her second husband went to the south, but they didn’t know exactly where they went.

The last person who wrote the letter also gave the address of Xiumei’s natal home, reminding her that if she wanted to find Xiumei, going to her natal home might provide clues.

　　After Li Duoyu read the letter a few times, he frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, the plot of the story unfolded in the worst way.

However, in the 1950s and 1960s, it was normal to remarry. After all, in that era, eating was a problem, let alone a woman taking care of children.

I heard that in that corner of Montenegro and Baishui, many men who are sick and unable to work have no choice but to choose Labangtau.

Li Duoyu glanced at Xiumei's natal address and thought about it carefully for a while. He felt that he should be a good person, but he was not enthusiastic enough to make a special trip for Old Man Gao.

 But this matter cannot be delayed for too long. If I remember correctly, it was the year he was released from prison in his previous life.

 That is, 87 years.

 Senior officials in overseas provinces could not bear the pressure and finally allowed the veterans to return to the mainland to visit relatives.

It would really be a headache if Ma Xiumei was not found when visiting relatives.

Since I bought him a water pump, I think it’s probably over a thousand yuan.

Li Duoyu felt that this matter should be taken seriously, because the address of Xiumei’s natal home was also very close to the hometown of Xiaoying’s parents.

 Originally, he planned to take Xiaoying back to her parents’ hometown to visit relatives when their children were older.

 It seems that we need to plan ahead now.
