1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 342

 After Li Duoyu left the town committee.

 Chen Shulin said:

“Lao Gao, do you feel that Xiao Li is a little different from other young people? When he talks to us, he is like people of the same generation, and there is not such a big gap.”

Gao Tianyun, who was smoking, said:

“Let's pretend. He is obviously three or four years younger than my Jingjing. He pretends to be mature all day long. He likes to be with old guys like us all day long.”

Chen Shulin smiled and said, "But why don't I feel like I'm just pretending?"

Gao Tianyun frowned and said, "It's useless to talk about this, Comrade Shulin. The wind power project has definitely landed in the island county next door. Why didn't you tell Li Duoyu about it?"

 Chen Shulin thought for a while, and then said: "That guy may have better information than us. He knows about this project. Do you think he doesn't know about the launch?"

“However, the electricity supply on their island is indeed a problem. To be honest, I admire this guy for thinking about the people in his own village.”

Gao Tianyun sighed:

“He is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. How can we help him solve this problem?”

“Twenty years ago, you were not like this. Besides, our country had nothing at the beginning. Many impossible things would be impossible if we don't work hard.”

Gao Yuntian took a puff of cigarette: "I know my destiny at fifty, and that's about it for the rest of my life. Maybe I won't even have a grandson."

 Chen Shulin patted him on the shoulder:

“Then pave the way for young people. The reason why I stay is that I feel that Shangfeng Town has great development potential. In addition to fishery, I also plan to develop the textile industry.”

“We still have a textile foundation in Shangfeng Town. Would you like to come with me to visit those small workshops next week?”

"sure."

 Li Duoyu left the town committee.

  No, he returned directly to Tandan Island, but went to the market in the town.

 He ​​naturally knows very well that it is difficult for wind power projects to be implemented on Dandan Island.

 In a short period of time, domestic wind power generation technology is still immature and relies on wind turbines donated by foreign countries.

 But what should be fought for still has to be fought for.

 Perhaps, **** will be good luck.

 The next wind power test site will be on Dandan Island.

In the past two years, the fishermen on Dandan Island have made a lot of money, and they have purchased more electrical equipment at home.

 This year many people bought refrigerators, washing machines and TVs.

 And after there are too many electrical appliances.

The electricity supply on Dandan Island is completely unavailable, and the old Soviet-made diesel engine is simply not enough for the people in the village.

 Last month or two.

 At night, when everyone turns on all the lights, there will be insufficient power and the lights will flicker on and off.

 It burned out the lights in many people's homes, and those who are following Huang Rihua's version of the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" series have seen it at its most exciting moments several times.

The TV was turned off directly.

The people who are watching the drama were so anxious that they went door to door and knocked on the door, asking them to turn off refrigerators, washing machines, and high-power electrical appliances.

 Because of this incident, there was a fight between two families in the village.

Not only was the daily life of the villagers affected, but Li Duoyu's eel breeding factory also suffered.

Li Duoyu bought two small diesel generators to barely be able to move his equipment.

 Fortunately, diesel is quite cheap now, otherwise the money earned would not be enough to pay for the fuel for power generation.

 The current electricity problem on the island has become a major obstacle restricting the development of Dandan Island.

 If the electricity problem cannot be solved, it will be really difficult for the breeding industry to become bigger and stronger.

Before,

Li Duoyu also wanted to build a fishmeal factory, but without electricity, it was simply impossible.

If this continues, fishermen who have made money will definitely choose to leave Tandan Island.

In the previous life, many boat owners and farmers on Dandan Island made money, so they all went to the city to buy houses. By the time Li Duoyu came back from the island country, there were no young people left on the island.

If the progress in the previous life is followed, after Dandan Island reached the millennium and submarine cables were laid, the electricity problem was completely solved.

If you calculate it this way, Li Duoyu will have to endure more than ten years of lack of electricity every day. Just thinking about it gives him a headache.

He naturally understands what Secretary Chen said. Although he often appears in newspapers, the leaders have also come to inspect several times.

 Kedandan Island is too small, and the income of the entire Xiasha Village in a year is actually only that little.

 Just any company in the city may make more money in a year than the entire village combined.

 If you want to have free electricity as soon as possible, you really need to develop the entire Dandan Island industry.

If you want to become bigger and stronger, it is not suitable for one company to be the only one. Li Duoyu plans to make money for two years first and teach some less core farming techniques to others.

For example, the technology of preserving oysters,

 Techniques of raising abalone,

 There are also techniques for raising blue crabs.

This time he went to the Zhoushan Islands. The fishing boat passed by Sanmen County in Taizhou for fishing, and then he remembered the Sanmen blue crabs there.

 In this era, blue crabs are also valuable goods. Because they are difficult to catch, the output has not been very high.

The blue crabs of the island were almost finished by the Zhao family brothers. Recently, for some time, their two brothers have never caught big crabs, and they are some crab seedlings that have not grown up.

In addition, it is considered a good tonic among the people, and some people use it as a folk remedy to treat some symptoms, which also results in its price not being cheaper than that of large yellow croaker.

 Next comes the crab fry season, and Li Duoyu's eels will be shipped in a month.

It happened to be a window period for breeding. Li Duoyu thought about raising some blue crabs.

 After all, this thing is very durable and can survive for a long time even out of water. Plus, the people in Rongcheng like to eat this thing very much.

 Li Duoyu thinks the sales volume should be good and it can be done.

But if you want to raise blue crabs.

 The problem of crab ponds still needs to be solved first. In the previous life, the tidal flats on Dandan Island were directly reclaimed.

 The amount of this project will not be less than that of digging the eel pond, but Li Duoyu thinks it is still valuable.

 As long as the land is reclaimed, various shellfish and shrimps can be cultured even if blue crabs are not raised.

As for the issue of occupying tidal flats and destroying the environment, Li Duoyu didn't bother to think too much. After all, if you don't destroy it, the islanders will help you destroy it in the future.

 In this era where everything is about money, it is better to let the wallets of those around you be a little bigger first.

Li Duoyu squatted on the curb, holding a bowl of hot salty tofu pudding in his hand. After taking a sip, he said:

“Boss, do you have less salty tofu pudding than before? I remember that it used to be a big bowl with a lot of ingredients.”

 The bean curd seller sighed:

“The price of soybeans has increased this year, but the price I sell is still the same, so the quantity has naturally decreased.”

 “That's it.”

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. It seemed that after the beginning of spring this year, he could clearly feel that prices were rising.

 The purchase price of seafood has obviously become higher, and the prices of many daily necessities have also increased.

 Along with the rapid growth of GDP, Great Unity has also experienced depreciation.

 This is the watershed moment.

 If a household with 10,000 yuan deposits money in the bank and does not circulate it, it will not take more than ten years to fall back into poverty.

He suffered this loss back then. He had so much money from working in the island country that he deposited it all in the bank and just wanted to earn interest.

　　I could have bought a building in downtown Rongcheng City, but in the end I could only afford a house in a school district.

 “Boss, give me another bowl of sweets.”

“Okay, I seem to remember you. The last time you came here, you also ate a bowl of salty food first and then a bowl of sweet food.”

Li Duoyu smiled. In fact, he is a standard sweet person: "Salty first and then sweet, so it tastes sweeter."

“Then are your lychees dipped in soy sauce?”

 “That must be obtained.”

 After eating two bowls of bean curd, Li Duoyu felt his whole body warm up.

 “Let's go, boss, I'll come back next time to eat your tofu pudding.”

 “I'm also ready to close the stall.”

Just when his boss told him that the price of soybeans had increased, Li Duoyu had already made clear his future development direction.

 No matter how many things there are, just work hard and burn the money you have. As long as you don't deposit the money in the bank, it will be fine. The scallops on Zhangzi Island can escape, but the eels and blue crabs on Liduoyu certainly cannot escape.

  Next month,

 Started to reclaim the tidal flats.

 Let's first develop a breeding land of more than ten acres.

 After finishing the bean curd, Li Duoyu found that the owner of the bean curd stall was already packing up and preparing to close the stall.

 There are very few vendors in the market, and most of them are preparing to go back.

Li Duoyu walked a few steps and came to a shop that sold cloth.

Li Duoyu planned to take Zhou Xiaoying back to her hometown during the summer vacation. It would be best if she could "return home in fine clothes".

Ever since Xiaoying found out that he had borrowed so much money, she has become more and more stingy, and is even reluctant to buy clothes.

In the store, the first items are coarse cloth and cotton cloth, most of which are the four most common colors: white, black, blue, and gray.

What is hung inside is brightly colored "Chenliang". This kind of fabric is very popular in this era.

  It is called a symbol of fashion.

Young people in Rongcheng like this kind of fabric very much because it does not wrinkle easily and will not shrink after washing.

 The most important thing is that the color is flowery enough.

 Looking good enough.

 Young people nowadays like it very much, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, it is not breathable. When wearing it in summer, the experience is very bad, it is not breathable, it is quite uncomfortable, and the armpits are all sweaty.

There was a middle-aged man wearing reading glasses in the store, using a sewing machine and sewing clothes for people.

 He lowered his head and let his reading glasses hang down. Then he glanced at the young man at the door of the store and said with some surprise:

 “Lots of fish!”

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Uncle Ma, I haven't seen you for a long time. You don't seem to have changed much."

“Nothing has changed at all. He is obviously older and has a lot more gray hair.”

 The middle-aged man stood up and looked at Li Duoyu: "I haven't seen you for more than a year. Why have you become so dark?"

“I'm just a fisherman, how can I not be shady? By the way, Uncle Ma, how's the business in the store lately?”

Ma Youcai said helplessly: "You have also seen that you are the only customer, and business is not as easy as before."

Li Duoyu remembers that Uncle Ma's fabric store was very prosperous two years ago when shopping became popular. You had to queue up if you wanted to buy imported fabrics, which were sold in bundles.

It was so easy to make money back then. Even though it has been almost two years since the last big sweep, there are still many people in the town who have not yet come out.

 “What kind of cloth do you want to buy?”

Li Duoyu glanced at the cotton cloth. Although everyone in later generations liked to wear cotton cloth again, the cotton cloth of this era was not as soft as imagined. On the contrary, it was a bit rough.

Fishermen don't like this kind of absorbent fabric. The most terrifying thing is that if you wear cotton to go fishing, the clothes will always have a fishy smell of the sea, which can't be washed away.

Li Duoyu looked around at the fabric and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Ma, do you still have any goods here?"

Ma Youcai frowned and hesitated for a while: "You come into my shop first."

 Wait for Li Duoyu to enter the store.

Ma Youcai turned on the lights in the shop and temporarily closed the shop with a few wooden boards.

 “You follow me.”

　　Then, he took Li Duoyu out of the back door of the shop and came to a small warehouse behind the shop.

 A "click" sound.

 Uncle Ma turned on the lights in the warehouse.

Li Duoyu discovered that there were a lot of very beautiful fabrics stored in this warehouse. He knew that these were imported goods without even thinking.

 Ma Youcai introduced:

“This is from Hong Kong Island, this is from the island country, this is Oxford cloth, and some ready-made jeans.”

Although the crackdown on smuggling is very severe, there are still many desperate fishermen along the coast. After all, this thing is much more profitable than fishing.

"Uncle Ma, you have a lot of money. It's very dangerous to do this now."

Ma Youcai sighed:

"Originally I didn't want to do it, but many old customers still come to me to buy goods. As I continue to do it, I accidentally make it bigger. If we hadn't known each other for a long time, to be honest, I really wouldn't dare to sell to you."

After looking at several imported fabrics, Li Duoyu found two solid-color ones and said, "Uncle Ma, give me ten meters of each of these two styles."

Ma Youcai said: "I told you in advance that things are different now. These imported cloths are not cheap."

“No problem, just cut it, no matter how expensive it is, I can afford it.”

 “Are you getting rich?”

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I'm not getting rich either. I just made a little money fishing."

 “Then I'll cut it off.”

While Uncle Ma was cutting cloth, Li Duoyu saw an unexpected little thing in his small warehouse.

Li Duoyu picked it up and saw that it was a well-packaged "Walkman" made by Sanyo.

“Uncle Ma, you still have this to sell.”

Ma Youcai glanced at it and said, "This is from previous inventory. The price is too expensive and it has never been sold."

 “How much does this one cost?”

Ma Youcai rolled his eyes at him: "You were in this business back then, so you don't know how much this machine costs."

Li Duoyu scratched his head: "I forgot."

Ma Youcai said: "This Walkman, when I first purchased it, I already asked for 20 units."

 “I remember it wasn't that expensive.”

Ma Youcai said with a hint of disdain: "If it wasn't expensive, I wouldn't have thrown it away. I bought ten units in total, but I couldn't sell this one in the end."

 “Hey, if you can't sell it, just sell it to me cheaply.”

 “If you really want it, I can give it to you for one hundred and eighty.”

 “One hundred and fifty.”

“If I give you one hundred and fifty, I will lose fifty.”

"Uncle Ma, you can't calculate it like this. If you can't sell it, this thing will break sooner or later. By then, let alone a loss of fifty, you will have a loss of two hundred."

 “Then one hundred and seventeen.”

 “Okay, deal.”

 “You boy, alas! You still love to take advantage as before.”

 “Everyone likes to take advantage, okay? Besides, instead of throwing this thing into your hands, you might as well sell it to me.”

 The Walkman is very useful. When he first arrived in the island country, young people in the streets often carried a Walkman in their trouser pockets.

 And this thing can not only be played externally, but also has headphones. In this era, it is definitely a luxury product.

 At the same time, it is also a symbol of fashion, if anyone has a Walkman hanging on his waist and a pair of headphones.

The return rate is 100%.

 There is no need to pick up girls at all, girls will come over and talk to you.

 The reason why Li Duoyu spent money on this luxury item was not to pick up girls.

 It's because Xiaoying's birthday will be in two days.

I feel ashamed to say that I have known her for two lifetimes and I have never celebrated her birthday even once.

It just so happens that Xiaoying likes listening to music, especially Cantonese songs and Hokkien songs.

 And with this Walkman, even if she listens to music while taking a break in the office, it will not affect others.

 What gives Li Duoyu a headache is that if he buys her such an expensive thing, she will definitely scold her for spending money indiscriminately.

 Have a headache! (End of chapter)
