1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 437 Meeting Zhang Defa by chance

In this day and age, after graduating from a key technical secondary school, you will be assigned a job directly, with the lowest status being a clerk. As long as you work for four years, you may be directly promoted to a department-level cadre.

Returnees like Liu Xiaoqi who are willing to return to China are even rarer. It is estimated that all aspects will be relaxed. As long as they have experienced at the grassroots level for a few years or made achievements, they may be assigned to important positions.

He is also a very talkative person. During the chat with him, Li Duoyu learned that the other person did not go to Nagasaki to learn farming, but to learn cold food transportation.

To be honest, Li Duoyu also admires Liu Xiaoqi in front of him. In this era, the difference between the two countries is really huge.

In his previous life, after smuggling into the country, he came into contact with many international students. After completing their studies, they often chose to stay in the island country. They would rather wash dishes in the kitchen than return to their home countries.

  Later, as the domestic economy developed, those who chose to stay in the island country regretted it.

　　When I was drinking with him, I would always complain and say something. If I had been willing to go back, I might have been a pretty big leader by now.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting so well, Liu Zhengyuan smiled and said: "Director Li, I feel that if you continue to chat, this Xiaoqi might switch jobs to your company."

Li Duoyu smiled: "My small company cannot afford to support overseas talents."

Liu Xiaoqi said: "No, I still have a lot to learn from Director Li. I heard that you have raised eels. Even in an island country, this is very difficult."

 “This is really just good luck.”

Liu Zhengyuan looked at his watch and saw that it was almost noon: "You secretly paid me the money last time we had dinner. This time, I have to treat you to a meal no matter what you do."

 “It’s still the same small fry shop, it’s better to change to a better one.”

There are several good restaurants opened here at Qingkou Wharf, and they are all well decorated. Considering that Li Duoyu seemed to be familiar with the owner of the small fry shop, I asked again.

 “Let’s go to Lao Chen’s house.”

“It seems that Director Li is also an emotional person.”

Li Duoyu and Liu Zhengyuan came to Lao Chen's restaurant. They did not order expensive dishes, but ordered a few dishes that were relatively good with wine.

 The two sides chatted for a while, and Liu Zhengyuan suddenly said:

“Director Li, I think our cooperation is very pleasant this time. I plan to bring out two assembly lines and let’s work together. What do you think?”

 Two assembly lines?

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment: "Director Liu, what do you mean?"

Liu Zhengyuan smiled and said: "To put it simply, I will still do the assembly line, but you will provide us with the raw materials required for the assembly line, just like the cloves this time. The only difference is that we are cooperating for a long time. I’ve got a task here, you have to give me the goods first.”

"I see."

Li Duoyu was really surprised. Factory Director Liu wanted him to become the exclusive supplier of the two assembly lines.

Li Duoyu is very clear about how much profit the two production lines can bring him. Maybe tens of thousands a year is still possible.

If the assembly line operates diligently, there may be more.

But Li Duoyu also knows very well that the higher the profit, the greater the risk. If he provides the raw materials, he will also be responsible if something goes wrong.

If something like fingernails appear in exported cans happens again, if he is a supplier, he will most likely be implicated and may have to lose money.

For fishmongers like Lao Mi and Lao Zhang, this is definitely a good thing, like pie in the sky and smoke rising from ancestral graves.

 But Li Duoyu did not agree immediately. Unless both parties have a relatively clear division of responsibilities, problems could easily arise if they agree immediately.

“Director Liu, I’m going to go back and think about it, I’m afraid I won’t do it right.”

Liu Zhengyuan, who was smiling all over his face, was startled for a moment. He thought that Li Duoyu would definitely agree to such a good thing that was 100% profitable, but he didn't expect that Li Duoyu would still consider it.

 Recently, they have indeed encountered some problems, that is, when the seafood is purchased, the quality is not very uniform.

 Especially in summer, some fishermen are reluctant to buy ice, resulting in uneven quality in the same batch of seafood.

 During this period, at Liu Xiaoqi’s suggestion, Liu Zhengyuan planned to try the management methods of the island country and try to make subtractions.

 Aquatic product processing plants now have too many and complicated things to do. The acquisition of seafood is not their strength in the first place, and a lot of manpower and material resources are wasted.

 With each additional production line, management becomes more confusing. Rather than doing this, it is better to directly find a company to exclusively supply products.

 They are responsible for quality control, and they can just concentrate on food processing.

“I think Director Li is definitely capable of doing this. With your quality of cloves, even our factory may not be able to do it better than you.”

With Li Duoyu's current ability, he is indeed competent. But now he has too many things in his hands. The last time he raised crabs, he was deeply aware of a problem.

 He does not lack the means to make money now, but he lacks a whole team that can help him.

After the end of Dingyuyu this time, Li Duoyu plans to focus on cultivating talents and building a team.

 But when he thought of the talents on Dandan Island, Li Duoyu couldn't help but think of his second sister-in-law. To be honest, based on her personality, she was really suitable for the job Director Liu mentioned.

But she is a rebel. If she had not been in a hurry to rebel, if she had endured until now, she might have given him this project.

While Li Duoyu was thinking, he looked up and found a man and a woman, both of whom were acquaintances.

 Male, wearing a shirt, a brown leather belt with a sliding head, and carrying a green red star satchel.

 The girls wear ponytails and although their clothes are very simple, they give people a sunny feeling.

When the girl saw Li Duoyu, she showed two small tiger teeth and said happily: "Brother Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The restaurant owner Lao Chen said disgustedly: "It's been a long time no see. A few days ago, your classmates came. I just met you. Can you be more mature and steady? I didn't see Duoyu having dinner with the leader."

Liu Zhengyuan smiled and said, "Xiaoyun, it's time for vacation."

 Chen Xiaoyun saw Liu Zhengyuan and said with a smile: "Hello, Uncle Liu."

Liu Zhengyuan also likes this little girl very much. She is obedient, sensible, and a top student. Ever since Liu Xiaoqi came, he has been thinking of introducing them to each other.

It can be seen that when she came back with a **** man, Liu Xiaoqi was not introduced to her.

Li Duoyu looked at Chen Xiaoyun for a moment and said, "Okay, she's getting more and more beautiful. There's no trace of the little black girl she used to be."

“Have you changed your age since you were a girl? Besides, why was I dark before? I’m very fair, but it’s easier to tan.”

Li Duoyu smiled. She was very happy every time she saw Xiaoyun. Her smile was very contagious.

But what puzzled him was how could it be possible for her to be together with Defa?

But thinking about it, it's not very possible. Defa looks rustic and has a bit of a literary youth. What woman would like this.

 “Defa. Long time no see.”

Li Duoyu greeted him, but for some reason, the old classmate looked unhappy when he saw him.

 “Why, you are everywhere.”

 Zhang Defa was very lucky when he came back by car and sat down with Chen Xiaoyun.

 In the past, I was either a big guy who picks his feet or an aunt with a chicken. Almost every time I got in the car, nothing good happened.

This time, I was so lucky. There was a beautiful woman sitting next to me. After a brief greeting, she turned out to be a student at Rongcheng University, from the same town, and her home was at Qingkou Wharf, so she was half a fellow villager. The most important thing is that the girl has a good personality, loves to laugh, and is very chatty. Zhang Defa is really relaxed when chatting with her.

The feeling this girl gave him was as gentle as the white moonlight, and his originally dead heart suddenly felt a sense of belonging.

 After failing the college entrance examination, he had given up on Li Xiaorong. To him, Li Xiaorong was the sun that he could never catch up with.

 In the short two-hour drive, he almost composed a love poem.

 But as we chatted, something gradually became wrong. After learning that he was Li Duoyu's classmate, the girl became particularly excited and excited, and kept asking about Li Duoyu's past.

 Bai Yueguang, whom she had just met, had been discussing with him a **** whose child was almost two years old, and she looked admiring him.

 The romance that Zhang Defa had just imagined was instantly swallowed up by Li Duoyu's evil smile.

I was so sick that I wanted to vomit out the two bites of triangular cake I ate in the morning. I couldn’t help cursing in my heart, Li Duoyu, you bastard!

Seeing that Li Duoyu knew this young man, Liu Zhengyuan, who was about to find out more, said with a smile: "Director Li, are you familiar with me? Why don't we have a casual dinner together?"

 “From the same village, classmates in primary school.”

"That's it." Liu Zhengyuan moved a chair and said, "There happens to be a place. Come on, come on, sit down and have a meal together."

Haunted by the hospitality, Zhang Defa glanced at the stir-fried dishes on the table, which looked quite delicious.

 Judging from the situation, Li Duoyu was inviting someone to dinner, so he was not polite and planned to order two more dishes to kill this big boss.

 But not long after he sat down, after learning the identity of the middle-aged man in front of him, the seat felt like a needle.

This middle-aged man in formal attire turned out to be Director Liu of the processing plant, and the young, handsome-looking young man turned out to be an overseas student who had returned from overseas.

 The most important thing is that this meal was not invited by Li Duoyu, but by them.

Zhang Defa was sitting on pins and needles, so embarrassed that he wanted to dig at the floor. Although there were many dishes in front of him, he did not dare to use his chopsticks.

"Duoyu. When I just came back, I ate several pieces of bread and my stomach was a bit full, so I decided not to eat yet."

Li Duoyu stopped him.

“Comrade Defa, let’s give him some face and have a couple of drinks before leaving. Xiaochao, pour him some wine.”

 “I don’t know how to drink.”

"You don't know how to drink. Who are you trying to fool? You drank more than me last time."

After Chen Wenchao poured him wine, Li Duoyu quickly introduced: "Director Liu, let me introduce to you, our village doctor went to the Medical University to study again last year."

Factory Director Liu was slightly surprised: "Stay ahead. Doctors are good and have a bright future. What our country lacks most now are doctors."

“I am no longer a doctor, I am just a student at a medical university.”

Zhang Defa scratched his head in embarrassment. Li Duoyu poured him wine even though he knew he didn't like this kind of occasion. This was a deliberate trick on him.

Zhang De was smiling, thinking that when Li Duoyu got sick, he would give him a few injections in the buttocks.

To Zhang Defa's surprise, Director Liu said directly: "I had dinner with Director Zhao of your school a few days ago."

“Is it Director Zhao Tianheng?”

“That’s right, it’s him. All my medical records are in his hands now.”

Zhang Defa was stunned. Although medical students can be assigned jobs immediately after graduation, there are only one or two good hospitals in the province.

There are only a limited number of places available every day, and everyone is busy working there.

 Zhang Defa has experienced society and his thoughts are relatively mature, unlike those students who only want to fall in love.

Not long after he arrived at school, he immediately discovered a very realistic and helpless problem.

For people studying medicine like them, relationships are really more important than ability.

 And under the influence of Xiaorong, he understood one thing. There are steps in medicine. If you want to go, you should go to the best hospital, which often has the best technology and equipment.

He now has a goal, which is to go to the Union Hospital in Rongcheng, but the competition in that hospital is very fierce.

And if you want to enter the best hospital in Rongcheng, you must not only have good grades, but you must also follow the right teacher.

It is best to be the kind who attends classes in school and works as a director in a hospital, and Director Zhao Tianheng is that.

Zhang Defa plans to hang out with him from now on, but unfortunately there are too many people who want to hang out with him, and he is not the most outstanding one.

  Most of the students in this school who have ambitions and ideals aim at that hospital.

 But he knows very well that ability is not enough. It is best to have connections and a two-pronged approach to ensure nothing goes wrong.

Just like Li Xiaorong, not only is she good at skills, but she is also very lucky. Just by following the right teacher, she was directly admitted to the best hospital in Shanghai.

Zhang Defa glanced at Li Duoyu and frowned slightly. Could this guy be so kind and want to have a relationship with him?

“Director Liu, I’ll finish this drink, you can do whatever you want.”

 In the back kitchen of a small fry shop.

 Lao Chen frowned and said, "Who is that person who came back with you?"

Chen Xiaoyun said disgustedly: "Dad, why are you getting more and more involved? I told you just now, or I met him on the road and happened to be Brother Yu's classmate."

"I do not believe."

Chen Xiaoyun said slightly angrily: "Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, you will be defeated."

Lao Chen frowned, feeling that something was wrong. They met halfway and they should have dispersed long ago. Why did he follow him to the store?

Li Duoyu was drinking and talking with his boss. He was too embarrassed to ask. Finally, Li Duoyu drank too much and wanted to relieve himself at the dock.

 Lao Chen immediately followed.

“Xiaoyun, please stir-fry the next two dishes. My stomach hurts a little.”

Li Duoyu came to the public toilet at Qingkou Pier. The toilet here was built in the past and was really not as good as the one in his village.

And it leads directly to the sea, so the fish traders will not collect the fish caught here at the pier, because they may have grown up eating shit.

But the scariest thing about this toilet is that when the wind is strong, it will make a "squeaking" sound, and sometimes the urine liquid will be blown up by the wind.

Many people who used this pier for the first time have been tricked, such as Ou Ge from Dazhu Village. After that, he would rather urinate against the wall than against the pit again.

Li Duoyu took out the thing and fired it directly into the sea water below.

But when he came over, Lao Chen didn’t pay for it at all and just looked at him.

I’ve had a migraine all day, it’s so painful!
