1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

The ceremony for the Fisheries Research Institute to present shrimp seedlings was very big, with not only county leaders participating.

Even reporters from Rongcheng Daily and provincial TV stations came to report on it.

There were many people at the ceremony, and there was a long banner behind the podium.

[Rongcheng Fisheries Research Institute Breeding Center donates shrimp seedlings to help the development of the shrimp industry]

Although Li Duoyu donated the shrimp seedlings to the Fisheries Research Institute, the person in charge of "seedlings" in the institute now is not Director Zhang Qingyun, but the nursery center.

It can be said that this is the second time that the institute's nursery center has "separated".

The year before last, the second generation from the north, Lin Yi, also did this. When he took over, he wanted to take over the entire nursery center as his own, and he had the final say on all pricing.

Basically, he just wanted to make money, and he didn't care about the life and death of the local farmers. Because the food looked too ugly, he was scolded by the boss and walked away with his tail between his legs.

After learning the lesson from last time, this time the nursery center is separated in name and in terms of funding.

But it was not completely separated. Although Zhao Jialu was the director of the nursery center, some larger decisions still had to be made under the guidance of the Fisheries Research Institute, and some things still required the signature of Director Zhang Qingyun.

During this seedling donation ceremony, many shrimp farmers came to the entire Rongcheng City, and each household received two to three million shrimp seedlings.

There were many shrimp farmers present, smiling so happily that at this time in previous years, if they wanted shrimp seedlings, they would have to fish in boats at the estuary.

Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the results are not ideal yet. I didn’t expect that I would be able to get so many shrimp seedlings this year without spending any money.

A shrimp farmer asked with a smile on his face: "Why isn't Director Li here? We still have many farming issues and I want to ask him for advice."

Zhang Qingyun said with a smile:

"Director Li has been busy recently. If you have any questions, you can ask our office's section chief Chen Dongqing, who is the breeding consultant of Minlong Company.

Don't bother Director Li anymore, otherwise you'll bore him with questions and you might be charged. "

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, but everyone who engages in breeding in Rongcheng knows it very well.

"Then don't dare ask Director Li. We don't have 30,000 yuan."

Li Duoyu previously treated eels from the Haixin eel factory and killed them for thirty thousand yuan.

After the shrimp donation ceremony, Zhao Jialu had a meal with the local leaders. During the event, he really hoped to see Li Duoyu at the venue.

But he knew very well that it was impossible for Li Duoyu to come, even though the shrimp fry were sent by Minlong Company.

But this time, the reports all tried to downplay Minlong's existence and focused on the nursery center he was in charge of.

Zhao Jialu did not expect that this good brother would give him such a big gift less than a month after he took office.

After taking over the nursery center, Zhao Jialu knew a lot about the grassroots affairs.

I am always busy every day.

Unlike those who sit in the office, they only need to cross their legs and sign for approval.

Moreover, the nursery center is still a highly technical department. Although he is also from the Fisheries Bureau, he really doesn't know much about this area.

I hardly had to learn new knowledge before, but now I am as tired as a dog every day. I used to pay attention to a sense of ritual when eating, and I always wanted to go out to a restaurant.

Now I'm just like the employees at the nursery, holding an aluminum box, finding a random step, sitting down and eating directly.

The biggest change is that she used to be fair and fair, but within a month, she was tanned even darker than Li Duoyu.

And next, there is still a tough battle to be fought, and that is the issue of kelp seedlings, which have started to charge fees this year.

How to set the price is a problem. Now Director Zhang doesn't dare to make a decision and asked him to ask Li Duoyu privately.

In a large room of more than 80 square meters in the dormitory of a government unit in Rongcheng, a woman wearing a printed shirt held a newspaper and said: "Old Zhao, we are quite powerful in our A Road. We have only been here for a month and we have done it." Such a big thing comes out.”

An old man who was playing with a baby on the bed with a rattle said disdainfully: "He has a lot of abilities. He can be in the newspaper, and it's not because of that Li Duoyu who helped him."

"You can't say a few nice words. When I came back a few days ago, I didn't notice you. You were dark and thin. You must have suffered a lot there."

Although the uncle's tone was unpleasant, he always smiled when he looked at the child's face.

"I don't know who it is. I always wanted to live on Dandan Island before. I have never experienced hardship. I really think the seaside is good. This wind can blow me away in three days."

The woman finally couldn't help it anymore:

"How can you be like this? You can't just ignore your son when you have a grandson. He is your grandson. Zhao Jialu is not your son anymore, right?"

"He chose his own path. If he can't endure this little hardship, he might as well come back and continue to eat and wait to die."

"Why are you getting more and more mean when you talk?"

"Speaking of which, this child has been favored by you. Since he is already at the grassroots level, you shouldn't hold it any longer. You can't let people laugh at it. Let's talk about the cadres from the city who don't touch the spring water with their fingers. ”

"Old Zhao, you just want to follow suit, don't you?"

In an office in Rongcheng Courtyard, after reading today's newspaper, the leader couldn't help but say:

"This kid still has some brains, and he also knows that he needs to distance himself from the nursery center."

"But this matter is still too high-profile. He is helping the kid from the Zhao family so much, which may bring trouble to himself. Let them be more careful in the future and be careful not to be accused of forming cliques."

Secretary Huang smiled and said, "I don't think it's necessary. They are both on the right path, not on any crooked path. Forming cliques is just to prevent themselves from being bullied. I still agree with this."

The leader frowned slightly: "I find that you really take care of them too much. There are a lot of people in our city who are better than them. Why don't you mention it?"

"I have mentioned it many times, Lin Akuan from the sugar factory, and Chen Youze from Sharp Sansha Fishery Canning Factory. I have said it many times, mainly because you are not interested. "

The leader knocked on the table: "So, it's my problem?"

"No, it's my problem. By the way, President Ou called today and they may bring an investment inspection team here in the second half of the year."

"This is a good thing. Let's try to sign more projects this year."

Huang Qingfeng continued: "President Ou complained to me on the phone today that the number of eels exported to him was too small, and he hoped to provide more this year. Some."

"Isn't this simple? Then let Li Duoyu raise more."

Huang Qingfeng continued, "It seems that you told him about shrimp farming last time. He is now wholeheartedly devoted to it. So far, he should have invested millions in his shrimp farm."

"This kid is so rich. It seems that his millionaire status is not groundless."

Huang Qingfeng said, "There is also the 600,000 yuan loan you gave him."

The leader continued, "If you have time, find some time to go and inspect it. This kid suddenly made the factory so big. Let's see what's going on. Need our help. "

"Leader, won't you go with me?"

The leader said disdainfully: "It's because I attended the opening ceremony of that guy. Now, whenever there is an opening ceremony in the province, they want me to go. And I go too frequently. Even if this guy succeeds in the future, people probably won't think too highly of him. We must know how to avoid suspicion."

"I see. It seems that the eels have been eaten. How about I ask him to bring some more?"

"No need for this. I ate too much the other day and felt a little greasy. This thing can be eaten occasionally, but it's too greasy if you eat it often." This time, Li Duoyu didn't count how many shrimp seedlings he gave away. It was roughly 20 to 30 million.

It seems a lot if you look at the number alone, but it's really not a lot.

If you look at it by the standards of the previous life, his seedlings are real "homemade seedlings".

And homemade means that it is seedlings produced by local sea shrimps without any experiments.

This kind of seedlings is a bit like a three-no product. Once it is sold, it has nothing to do with the person who sells the seedlings.

He won't guarantee you anything, and anything can happen in the following breeding process.

At the cheapest time, 10,000 shrimps only cost 20 yuan. As long as you don't mind the fishy smell, you can even buy them back to cook.

And the shrimp seedlings that Li Duoyu gave away were all those that didn't perform well in the shrimp farm's nursery pond.

After all, the good ones were all taken away by Li Duoyu. Although he gave away 20 to 30 million shrimps, he still had about 30 million shrimps left.

The main reason was that the shrimp seedlings grew too fast, and it was not possible not to give them away. As the shrimp seedlings grew bigger and bigger, the nursery base of Qixing Bay could no longer raise so many shrimp seedlings.

At the beginning, Li Duoyu did think about selling the seedlings, but if he sold the seedlings, he would have to take responsibility.

If this batch of seedlings didn't perform well, it would have cheated these shrimp farmers. Li Duoyu didn't want to be put in a sack on the road one day.

In the past, there was such a thing. A large shrimp farmer in the town bought "bad seedlings", but they all turned white after only one and a half months of breeding, and could only be discharged from the pond.

After the incident, the shrimp farmer blocked the shrimp fry seller every day and demanded compensation for the loss. It is said that the two fought and were detained.

Li Duoyu could not guarantee whether these shrimp fry were good or not. If he sold them, he would not be able to sell much, and he would get himself into trouble.

Zhao Jialu had helped him so much before, so he might as well do him a favor. It was free anyway, and these shrimp farmers would not bother him even if they did not raise the shrimp.

After clearing out some of the shrimp, the nursery pond was much vacant, and Li Duoyu could continue to raise shrimp in the nursery pond.

Since he adopted the mixed shrimp and crab farming method, he wanted to survive in a pond with blue crabs.

Li Duoyu had to raise the shrimp to 2.5 cm before letting it enter the pond, otherwise it would be too small and would really become the food of blue crabs in the pond.

At this time, his second brother Li Yaoguo came over with a frown, holding several account books in his hands.

"We may be out of money."

Li Duoyu was stunned and asked, "How much money do we have left?"

"About 40,000."

After hearing this, Li Duoyu frowned. If he was right, he had earned a lot during this period.

Li Yaoguo then took out several account books and put them in front of Li Duoyu: "I have recorded every income and expenditure for you, you can take a look."

Li Yaoguo took out a few thinner account books: "I have calculated the kelp field, eel factory and shrimp farm separately for you in the past two days."

Li Duoyu looked at the thick account books in front of him, but he still read them patiently.

The purpose of each income and expenditure was written in great detail.

Li Duoyu was still clear about the income, but the expenditure was too much and too complicated.

After reading some of the account books, Li Duoyu found that the money was spent on infrastructure.

The construction cost of the main factory building of the shrimp farm: 157,709 yuan.

Feed factory building: 83,029 yuan.

Laboratory building: 95,000 yuan.

Accommodation building: 20,423 yuan.

Shrimp farm fence: 22,951 yuan.

Five pumping stations: 82,349 yuan.

Four hundred acres of shrimp ponds, pond digging costs: 78,010 yuan.

There are also various scattered things, such as pipeline paving, temporary docks, passenger ship fees, food expenses, etc.

If these are added together, it will cost almost half a million yuan.

Li Duoyu knew that infrastructure construction was very expensive, but the money was paid out one by one. When he signed the contract, he really didn't feel anything. Now if he counted it all together, he found that it was really a lot.

After Li Duoyu finished reading it, Li Yaoguo continued: "We have 45 employees in Minlong, including those from my father's side."

"If you add transportation costs and food expenses, the average cost per employee is 66 yuan. We have to spend nearly 3,000 yuan on wages every month, and this does not include your three researchers who are just coming."

Hearing this, Li Duoyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he finally understood why foreigners and overseas Chinese are rushing to return to China to invest at this time.

The labor cost is really cheap!

But then, Li Yaoguo poured cold water on him:

"We have no problem with wages, but the feed money needed for breeding will be a huge expense. We need to buy a lot of miscellaneous fish to make fish meal, and a lot of thin-shelled melon seeds, at least 7,000 per month. The electricity bill is also a big expense. The shrimp farm uses electricity 24 hours a day. With only 40,000 yuan, it won't last for a few months."

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "It shouldn't be. Didn't we sell 50,000 grilled eels some time ago? Where did the money go?"

Li Yaoguo pointed to one of the account books. Ben said, "All this money is included. The total cost of the research equipment needed for your laboratory building is about 80,000 yuan."

"And a few days ago, you paid more than 10,000 yuan for the final payment of five iron boats, and our blue crab seedlings also cost more than 3,000 yuan."

"A week ago, Haixin transported the equipment here. Many of the equipment broke down. The repair and installation costs alone, as well as the construction costs of the small cold storage, also cost nearly 20,000 yuan."

Li Duoyu's head was buzzing. He finally understood why the boss always looked unhappy when he listened to their work reports.

Li Duoyu sighed. He didn't expect that after three years of starting a business, he would become in debt again.

"Second brother, if you spend money too quickly in the future, you have to tell me."

Li Yaoguo looked helpless: "I told you more than once that you were not in a hurry before."

To be honest, Li Duoyu was really not in a hurry. If he had too much cash in his hand, he would be in a hurry.

If it is true, the dual-track parallel system will be overturned next year. By then, the money will depreciate greatly. It is best to exchange it for assets and various equipment and materials as soon as possible.

But we can't be without cash. As a millionaire, we still have to have some face.

We can't tell everyone that we won't be able to pay salaries in two months.

Li Duoyu now regrets asking Haixin for those broken equipment. He should have asked them for money directly. "

Li Duoyu found that he was trapped by the false reputation of "millionaire". He suddenly didn't like the female reporter.

It was Lu Xiaoyu who praised him step by step. It would be better to make him an outstanding young entrepreneur.

What is the false reputation of a millionaire? It makes everyone think that he is very rich. If people knew that he was a millionaire in debt, they would probably laugh to death. (End of this chapter)
