1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 Li Duoyu was the last to go through the process, and his export volume was the largest. He exported more kelp and eels combined than all the farmers on the island combined.

Seeing Li Duoyu start to receive foreign exchange coupons, there were many people in the village watching.

 Because everyone wants to know how much Li Duoyu’s eels sold in total.

Zhu Xiuhua’s eyes widened. Some people in the village who also wanted to cultivate eels were all staring at Li Duoyu.

As long as Li Duoyu, like them, exchanged a quarter of the foreign exchange coupons, everyone can calculate how much he paid for raising eels in total.

 What everyone didn’t expect was that Li Duoyu only exchanged part of the foreign exchange coupons.

Even Director Jin, who was in charge of the exchange, was a little surprised: "Director Li, are you really only willing to exchange 10,000 yuan?"

Li Duoyu nodded and said honestly: "I recently built a new house and wanted to buy some toilets, ceramic tiles, etc. Otherwise there would be no need to exchange."

 “But this can still be exchanged”

 Director Jin rubbed his thumb and index finger twice to indicate that the foreign exchange coupons could be exchanged for more money.

"I know."

Li Duoyu grinned and said: "Thank you very much for the leadership's concern, but if I take too many foreign exchange coupons, it won't be of much use for the time being."

 Director Jin was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had seen you like this, because the village director’s export amount was really large.

Just now, if he had offered to exchange for one quarter, he was going to refuse him on the grounds that he did not have enough foreign exchange certificates, and would only give him fifteen thousand at most.

 Unexpectedly, he was not greedy at all.

 Only ten thousand,

　This... was really beyond his expectation.

Jin Xiannian looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but admired: "Well done, the country needs young people like you."

Seeing that Li Duoyu only exchanged 10,000 yuan, the second sister-in-law immediately became anxious: "Duoyu, are you stupid? You can't make money even if you don't want it. You can give it to me if you don't want it."

 “Yeah, exchange more.”

 “Money is not poison, so why can’t you get along with it?”

Seeing all the villagers shouting, Director Jin came to the rescue and said:

“Your village director already knows how many foreign exchange certificates are left. He has given up his quota to you.”

Those farmers who had redeemed their foreign exchange coupons earlier became quiet and a little embarrassed.

However, some people still couldn't help but ask: "Village director, please tell us the truth. We all want to know how much the eels were sold for this time."

Li Duoyu thought for a while and said, "I really didn't make much, and I almost lost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan."

"We don't believe it. I heard from Xiuhua that your eel export this time will cost at least 50,000 yuan."

 “Yes, do we have money to make together?”

Li Duoyu said seriously: "That's not true. I won't teach you. It's just that the eel farming technology is not yet mature at this stage. If you are allowed to farm eels now, you will be harmed. Maybe all the money for kelp farming will be used." "

 “You are lying, we don’t believe it.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask my second sister-in-law and Xiao Chao.”

Li Duoyu was telling the truth. He almost had trouble raising eels, and he was very lucky this time. Excluding the feed problem, the only thing he really encountered was anatomy.

 There are many kinds of eel diseases.

 As the number of breeding animals increases, it is inevitable that he will encounter something that even he cannot handle.

 The moment before leaving.

Director Wu couldn't help but said: "Xiao Li, seeing you making so much money makes me jealous."

Li Duoyu grinned and said: "Director Wu, can you keep the specific sales amount a secret for me? I really don't want people to know how much the eels were sold in total."

If everyone knew that I had made so much money raising eels, I would probably not have any peace of mind for a day.

Director Wu said: "Now you know you are afraid?"

"I'm scared, I'm really scared. My face is very famous now. If everyone knows that I make so much money, they might be kidnapped when I go out."

Director Wu said seriously: "You can ask me to help you, but you have to do me a favor."

“Eels are really difficult to raise, and the technology is really immature at this stage. I don’t recommend vigorous promotion, and the prescription is not applicable every time.”

 Director Wu rolled his eyes at him.

“Did I ask for your eel farming techniques and prescriptions? Last month, Ludao Fisheries Technical School came to me, hoping to send a few more people with real farming skills to teach students.”

 Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment.

“For someone like me, who only has a junior high school diploma, if I go to teach, I will only mislead the students.”

"Oh, if you don't even want to help me with such a small favor, I can't control what the newspaper writes." "Director Wu, don't do this. I'll go, my wife will be a teacher, and I'll be a teacher, too." Our family will become a scholarly family."

“By the way, Director Wu, if I want to teach, do I have the staff?”

 “There is no establishment, just guest teachers.”

 “Then there should be a salary.”

“Yes, you have made so much money, but you don’t know how to give back to the society.”

 “I just exchanged less foreign exchange coupons, so I’m giving back.”

 “I can’t speak to you.”

Director Wu sighed: "By the way, I apologize to you for what happened with Ji Yi last time. I brought this person on. I didn't know he caused you so much trouble."

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

“Director Wu, if you didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten about this person.”

Wu Yuping frowned and looked at him: "This is not like you. I heard people say that you are a kind of '睚禦', the kind who always avenges you."

 “Where, I am a very nice person.”

Director Wu continued: "By the way, if there are any difficulties during the breeding process, we need help solving them."

Li Duoyu wanted to say no, but then he thought that Dandan Island didn’t even have electricity.

“There are still difficulties. If Dandan Island wants to develop, it will definitely not work without electricity. In the past, many eels died because of the lack of electricity.”

“You are so clever in your calculations that you even included me in your calculations.”

“There’s nothing I can do about my slight remarks. I’m just a small village director. If I don’t have help from the leaders, no one will care about me at all.”

“If I have a chance, I will mention it to the big boss, let’s go.”

 A fishery administration ship.

Director Wu smoked a cigarette and said calmly: "Jialu, from now on, you should be in charge of the export of breeding."

 “Leader, don’t be like this, I’m just a small clerk.”

 “If you don’t do something, how can you climb up? Are you going to be a clerk for the rest of your life?”

 “The main thing is that I don’t have much ability.”

“You know Li Duoyu, and that’s your greatest skill. I’ll give you a task to develop kelp and eel farming within three years.”

 “Isn’t it good if it doesn’t develop now?”

Wu Yuping said seriously: "Do you think our export volume can compare with those selling tea and machinery and equipment?"

Zhao Jialu shook his head: "It's incomparable."

Wu Yuping looked into the distance: "There is a lot of room for development in the seafood industry. The current scale is too small. I think it can be expanded at least ten times or a hundred times."

Zhao Jialu smiled bitterly and said: "Leader, you'd better change to someone else."

Wu Yuping said: "If you can't do it, I will set up an office for you on Dandan Island. From now on, you will come here to work. When you do it, you will come back."

 Zhao Jialu suddenly became excited:

 “Is it really possible to come to the island to work?”

Seeing his excited expression, Wu Yuping suddenly felt something was wrong. This kid didn't really want to come.

 Zhao Jialu had just received his certificate and the banquet had not even been arranged yet. If he brought him to the island, his parents and his father-in-law would probably start scolding him when they met.

“Forget it, I’ll leave this matter to you anyway. Within three years, you must at least give me a guarantee that kelp and eel farming will increase tenfold.”

Wu Yuping thought for a while and then said: "By the way, if you have time, mention it to your father and say that you are now in charge of Dandan Island, but the island currently has no electricity, and let the province find a solution."

 “I don’t dare, I’m afraid of my old man.”

“I’m sorry, Li Duoyu asked me to do this. Aren’t you two brothers?”

Zhao Jialu frowned, and then made a decision: "Then I'll try to say it, but my father can't make the decision on this matter."

“It’s good to mention it, whether it succeeds or not is another matter.”

“Also, when you go back this time, you must go to the customs to complete all the formalities, and you must also remember to write a report.”

“Leader, I’m just a technical secondary school student, how can I do so many things.”

“If you don’t know how to do it, learn it. If you can’t do it, ask your wife to help you write it.”

Zhao Jialu had a dark face and kept smelling sweet fragrance. He felt a little regretful and should not have taken the initiative to come to Dandan Island.
