1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 Same as previous years.

 The day before the New Year, the mobile vendors came to their island again.

 It's just that I came later than last year. It's still the same place. The equipment for setting up stalls this year seems to be better.

Those selling braised food and various snacks all have folding tables and do not sell their items on the floor, so it is much cleaner and hygienic.

Nian Ruifa, the boss of the ship responsible for transporting them, saw Li Duoyu and ran over to say hello.

 “Director Li, long time no see.”

Li Duoyu briefly greeted the other party. Because the boat boss was relatively short, he could not take his eyes away from the Mediterranean Sea above his head.

 After a year of absence, the sea above his head was obviously getting bigger and bigger.

“You seem to have arrived a bit late this year.”

Nian Ruifa shook his head helplessly and said: "The world is not good. On the way here, I met a road bully. It took me a long time to pay the money before I left."

Li Duoyu was slightly startled, but considering that this was the 1980s, it was considered normal. The closer to the New Year, the more people took risks to make a big deal.

After they set up the stall, Nian Ruifa spent 50 cents to broadcast an advertisement on the village radio station.

 Not a while yet.

 The pier was full of villagers who came to buy. The vendors were shocked this time. Last year, everyone bought braised meat at a price of two.

 This year I bought it by the pound.

The same goes for melon seeds.

During this period, they also traveled to many places. They had also heard that Dandan Island had made a lot of money in the past two years, but they did not expect that they would be so generous.

　　The money that Roadhog stopped and robbed was collected together by everyone. I thought it would all be in vain in these two days.

Unexpectedly, less than an hour after setting up the stall, a stall sold out most of the items, which made him happy and painful, because he didn't have enough stock, and he probably wouldn't have anything to sell later.

 Li Duoyu came to a stall selling tofu pudding. He never thought that the vendor would still remember him: "Is the boss the same as before? One part of sweet tofu pudding and one part of salty tofu pudding."

 Li Duoyu nodded.

 “Yes, please add more coriander to the salted tofu pudding.”

 “No problem, boss.”

Li Duoyu also planned to sail to the fair and buy some things. After all, everyone in the family came back this year.

But there are really too many things to do this year. I am too busy and tired, and I am too lazy to run to the market. Li Duoyu bought all melon seeds, braised food, dry goods from the mountains and so on directly here.

But what he was more concerned about was that at the dock just now, he seemed to hear a fishmonger shouting that the price of seafood had increased.

To be honest, Li Duoyu was quite surprised when he heard the news. The reason why he was not sure that the price of seafood would increase this time was because Chen Yuanyu was deliberately lowering the price.

 But this sudden surge, and the doubling of the price, was really beyond his expectation.

Li Duoyu lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling that Chen Yuanyu most likely failed, otherwise the price of seafood would not have soared like this.

But it’s right to think about it, her obvious methods won’t work against an old fox like Manager An.

  Manager An’s upward network resources may not be as powerful as Chen Yuanyu’s, but her downward resources can easily overwhelm her.

If Li Duoyu were Chen Yuanyu, he would definitely use his connections to transfer Manager An from the United Distribution Products Company.

 At this time.

Over at Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, an urgent internal meeting of high-level officials was being held, and almost all of these high-level officials were relatives of Chen Yuanyou.

  After all, Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company is a family business, and many relatives own shares and serve as senior executives within the company.

 However, this meeting was not initiated by general manager Chen Yuanyu, but by several other shareholders.

The purpose of holding this meeting is very clear, which is to investigate this failure. They plan to join forces to remove Chen Yuanyou as general manager.

After all, in just one month, the company lost nearly 300,000 yuan on its books. In the past, the company was the most profitable during the Chinese New Year, with monthly profits reaching more than 200,000 yuan. In other words, Chen Yuanyou A total of five hundred thousand was lost this time.

 For Chen Yuanyou, this was indeed a very painful lesson. She really didn't expect that more than half of the relatives in front of her were secretly helping Manager An, which made her quite embarrassed.

 Chen Yuanyou felt that strategically, she did not lose. It was inevitable that the big fish would eat the small fish. This time, she lost because she was too young and underestimated human nature.

A relative of Chen Yuanyou said: "We have spent so much money and still haven't taken down the United Distribution Company. Mr. Chen, as promised, you have to take responsibility for this failure."

One of her uncles also advised:

"Xiao Su, you will inevitably make mistakes when you are young, so you should learn a lesson. The development in the south is very good. Your father has talked to me privately. He still hopes that you will go there and stay in Rongcheng like you, an international student, selling seafood. Opening a restaurant is indeed a bit overkill.”

“Yes, I just went there some time ago, and I also feel that the development in the south is much faster than here.”

 Chen Yuanyu sighed. She was not someone who couldn't afford to lose. Just when she was disheartened and ready to admit defeat, she headed to the small fishing village.

However, an elder who usually took good care of her took a document and placed it on her desk.

 Chen Yuanyou was a little confused at first, but after reading it, his already very big eyes became even wider.

 She never expected that the contest between her and Manager An would end like this.

Her opponent who dared to love her was not Fatty An from the beginning, but her own father. It was the Chinese New Year, and her father really gave her a big red envelope.

 Chen Yuanyou slapped the document on the table and said in a deep voice: "Rongcheng United Company has been successfully merged."

　　When she said this, the relatives who had been pressuring her just now looked at each other and were all dumbfounded.

A relative who was about the same age as Chen Yuanyou was shocked and said: "How is it impossible? How could Manager An agree? Without his vote, the United Company would not be able to complete the merger."

 Chen Yuanyou looked at him with a smile: "You know very well, from your tone, it seems that you are not very happy about our company's acquisition of Rongcheng United Distribution Company."

The young man waved his hands quickly: "No, no, I'm just surprised. Mr. Chen, don't think too much."

 Chen Yuanyu snorted coldly, and then said: "Today's meeting will end here first. Everyone will go back to celebrate the New Year. The personnel appointments will be made again at the spring meeting next year."

After hearing this, many people in the meeting turned pale. They still didn't know which link had the problem, but what was certain was that the days ahead would definitely not be easy after they forced the palace to do so just now.

After these two years of contact, they have a very good understanding of the character of the family's darling.

The killing is decisive, and it is very fierce to do things.

Chen Yuanyu was in a good mood. He called a female secretary over in the office and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, take two boxes of tea from Wuyi Mountain and a few calendars from our company to give to Li Duoyu on Dandan Island. Director Li, give him some coupons from Japanese food stores.”

The female secretary was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Are you just sending it to Director Li? Do you want to send it to other suppliers as well?"

Chen Yuanyou frowned: "If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. If you want to give them away, then just give them all away. I'll leave this matter to you." The female secretary smiled awkwardly and really wanted to give herself something to say. Son, I really have nothing to do to find something to do for myself.

When Chen Yuanyu returned home, the instigator, as if nothing had happened, was tinkering in the kitchen wearing an apron.

“You’re back. Your dad will make you your favorite lychee meat tonight.”

 Chen Yuanyu glanced at him, and then threw the bag he was carrying on the sofa.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jiao hurriedly said: "Have you been bullied by some blind person? Tell dad who bullied you, and I will help you repair him."

 Chen Yuanyou looked at his biological father in front of him angrily: "Comrade Chen Jiao, isn't it fun? You spend half a million just to give your daughter a lesson."

"ah."

 Chen Jiao's heart tightened, and his face was full of embarrassment. He scolded Fatty An for being unjust and not helping him take the blame, and for exposing him so quickly.

At this moment, Chen Jiao didn't dare to answer the question and said quickly: "The lychee meat I made today is delicious."

“Don’t change the subject with me. Are you trying to embarrass me on purpose? Just to use my help to kick out the third uncle and fourth uncle.”

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Chen Jiao stopped pretending and nodded: "This time it's your father's fault. If you want anything, I will try my best to satisfy you."

 Chen Yuanyou frowned and thought for a while, then grinned and said: "No matter who comes to urge the marriage today, you have to stop me."

The imported stainless steel iron basin held in Chen Jiao's hand fell to the ground, making a clanging sound, and then said with a wry smile:

"Xiao Su, please change it. This is really too difficult. I'm afraid of your mother and your grandma."

"No, that's it. No matter which relative comes to trouble me this year, you have to help me block it."

Chen Jiao sighed. He had known that he would not come back this year, so he would just celebrate the New Year in a small fishing village.

At this time, An Yuliang was packing things in an office of Rongcheng United Distribution Company.

 He did not take away any of the information inside. He had organized it all very clearly, and he was about to leave the office where he had stayed for more than 20 years.

 To be honest, I was quite reluctant to part with him. Chen Jiao personally visited him two days ago, hoping that he could become the vice president of the company.

 But he refused on the spot.

 What a joke, he doesn’t want to be an assistant to a girl.

In the office, Lin Haiqing couldn't help but ask: "Master, if you leave now, where are you going?"

An Yuliang thought for a while and said slowly: "I started working when I was more than ten years old. I have been working for more than thirty years and I haven't even gone out for a walk. I plan to go outside and take a look."

Lin Haiqing grinned and said, "Master, where are you going to play? I'll go with you."

An Yuliang taught him something right: "You are so young, you just want to play and work hard all day long. You know, Chen Yuanyou hasn't got a partner yet. Work harder, maybe you will become Chen Jiao's son-in-law."

Lin Haiqing shook his head like a rattle: "Master, please don't flatter me. I'm quite self-aware. Master, I don't want to stay in this company either."

An Yuliang was stunned for a moment.

 “Xiao Lin, are you going to go to Director Li’s place?”

Lin Haiqing shook his head: "It's possible in the future, but I probably won't go now. His team is still a bit small and not suitable for me to play. I'll wait until he becomes bigger and stronger."

“When Director Li becomes big, if you go there again, people may not look down on you.”

Lin Haiqing chuckled and said: "Gold will shine wherever it goes. I believe in Director Li's vision."

An Yuliang rolled his eyes at him: "You are like this, and you still want to be gold. The stones on the roadside are much harder than you."

Lin Haiqing licked his face and said: "It's mainly because you, Master, didn't polish me properly. Speaking of which, I think Master you are really awesome. You beat Chen Yuanyou to the ground in just one month. I still want to follow you." Learn something.”

An Yuliang said disgustedly: "What's not good about learning is to imitate other people's flattery."

An Yuliang shook out a cigarette, and Lin Haiqing immediately pulled a match and lit the cigarette.

An Yuliang took a sip: "If you still want to follow me, you have to go with me on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year next year."

“It’s so soon, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is leaving. Why don’t you wait until after the Lantern Festival? It seems that many places have started to wander around this year.”

An Yuliang said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I've offended both the Chen family and my daughter. After the Chinese New Year, Chen Jiao will definitely want to settle accounts with me."

“Master, didn’t you cooperate with him privately? Why is he causing trouble for you?”

Lin Haiqing was a little puzzled. He only found out two days ago that the master and Chen Jiao actually cooperated secretly in private and gave Chen Yuan a lesson.

 To be honest, he has seen ruthless people, but he has never seen anyone as ruthless as Chen Jiao, spending so much money to educate his daughter.

 “I exposed the private cooperation.”

　　After hearing this, Xiao Lin's eyes widened, and then he extended his thumb: "As expected of my master, awesome!"

But when An Yuliang packed up his things and left the Rongcheng United Distribution Company, someone actually set off firecrackers to celebrate after he left.

Lin Haiqing, who left with him, cursed angrily: "You are a bunch of short-sighted trash. After the merger of the company, you will be the first to be unlucky."

An Yuliang was not angry because of this kind of thing. Looking back at the company, he felt that an era had come to an end.

Society has developed so fast in the past two years that even he is a little uncomfortable with it, so he wants to go out and see how much the society has changed now.

The market in Shangfeng Town was full of people, and the stalls were lined up all the way to the road, blocking the shuttle bus and making it impossible to pass.

On the road, there was an out-of-town farm truck selling fireworks. This year’s fireworks business was particularly good. It wasn’t even New Year’s Eve yet, and they had almost sold out the entire truckload of fireworks.

In the back of the car, a fireworks seller said: "Brother, should we save some? It seems that the boss who bought so many of our fireworks last year hasn't come to buy them yet."

"He is already twenty-nine. If he wanted to buy it, he would have already bought it."

"How about we take the rest to Dandan Island and sell it. Then we can take another cart of kelp and sell it back."

 “No need.”

At this moment, a young man who was about to buy fireworks said: "You should be talking about Li Duoyu from Dandan Island."

 The young man smiled and said, "Yes, that's him."

The young man smiled and said: "He is too busy this year. He probably won't have time to come to the market. You can sell me the remaining fireworks and I will take them back to him."

 “Okay, who are you, brother?”

 The young man smiled and said: "I am Li Duoyu's cousin." (End of this chapter)
