1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 416

 Liu Zhengyuan,

The top leader of Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Factory. As for what level of cadre he is, Li Duoyu doesn't know very well, but he has quite a lot of power.

It can be said that as long as you can establish a relationship with him, whether you are a fisherman or a fishmonger, you will not have to worry about sales throughout the year.

He has recruited half of the fishmongers at Qingkou Wharf and is now a salesperson in the factory.

Li Duoyu first came into contact with him at the [Third Rongcheng Fisheries Conference] in the county seat. It was precisely because he proposed to build an ice making plant that this branch was established.

I heard that after the branch factory was built, the cadres who were transferred from the city to the branch factory all hated Li Duoyu.

Unexpectedly, the business of this branch factory is very good, and the workers are very efficient. In less than a year, in terms of output, profit and turnover, it directly surpassed the old factory in the city.

 Coupled with the organization's vigorous development of Qingkou Wharf, Rongcheng Aquatic Products Processing Factory decided to focus on this area, leaving only two production lines at the old factory.

 This has also led to some workers who are unwilling to work at Qingkou Wharf to be laid off and look for other jobs.

 Those cadres who were assigned to the job at the beginning have escaped this wave of layoffs, and now they no longer scold Li Duoyu, but think he is very far-sighted.

What surprised Li Duoyu was that the man standing to the left of Factory Director Liu Zhengyuan was actually an acquaintance, and was the Japanese teacher before their study tour to Japan.

Li Duoyu thought about it for a moment and thought it was quite normal. After all, this aquatic product processing factory is mainly engaged in export business, so it definitely needs a translator, and Teacher Xie's Japanese is very good.

 After seeing Li Duoyu, Liu Zhengyuan smiled and said:

“I just wanted to find you in the past two days, but I didn't expect to meet you directly here. By the way, let me introduce you first, Teacher Xie Youzheng from Rongcheng University.”

The teacher wearing glasses smiled and said: "Duoyu, please remember me."

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher, long time no see."

Director Liu was stunned for a moment and said in surprise:

 “You know each other.”

Li Duoyu explained: "Director Liu, it was Teacher Xie who taught us Japanese before I went abroad for inspection."

“Well, it seems that Teacher Xie is really full of talents. I never thought that Director Li is still your student.”

 “Don't dare, don't dare.”

Li Duoyu saw that there was no room left in the restaurant, so he said, "Director Liu, Teacher Xie, the table is a bit small. Let's squeeze in and eat together."

"sure."

Several college students who were very nervous just now stood up on the spot when they saw that their teacher had no place to sit and eat.

“Xiaoyun, we're full. Let's go first. Don't serve the next dishes.”

A few college students greased the soles of their feet and ran away. In order not to be discovered, they even stuffed beer bottles into their pockets when they left.

Xie Youzheng glanced at the group of students and said calmly: "Have you eaten enough? Don't make any mistakes in your drawing this afternoon."

“You can't go wrong if you're full.”

Seeing that her classmates didn't eat much, they left directly. Chen Xiaoyun came out of the kitchen and found that all her classmates were gone. But when she saw the person in front of her, she was stunned for several seconds.

“Teacher, why are you here?”

Li Duoyu asked curiously: "Xiaoyun, do you also learn Japanese?"

 Chen Xiaoyun shook her head and said: "No..."

 Xie Youzheng explained:

“Actually, I mainly teach architecture. I teach Japanese to you, but I was forced to do so by the school leaders. When I think about it, I teach a lot of things in a mess, which is really a bit embarrassing.”

“Teacher, you are so humble. You teach Japanese very well.”

Xie Youzheng was a little ashamed: "Director Li, please stop flattering me. I don't know yet. I definitely didn't teach you Japanese."

 “Stop being modest.”

Liu Zhengyuan continued: "Duoyu, you haven't eaten yet. Let's talk about things while eating. I'll treat you to this meal."

 Li Duoyu nodded.

 Lao Chen saw them eating together, and the two people who came here were one of the leaders of the big factory next door, and the other was Xiaoyun's teacher.

 Old Chen quickly asked:

“Duoyu, do you want your fried noodles and pork liver soup?”

 “When it's done, give it to me first.”

"not yet."

 In fact, it has already been fried, but Lao Chen still said: "I have been busy just now, and I haven't cooked it yet."

Hearing that the pot had not yet been served, Director Liu hurriedly said: "I'm paying for today's meal, so don't eat the noodles and pork liver soup."

 Li Duoyu thought for a moment, "Okay then."

Lao Chen looked at Li Duoyu in confusion. When did this guy have such a good relationship? He shook hands with these leaders and called them brothers.

During the conversation, Li Duoyu learned that the teacher turned out to be a turtle. He studied architecture in Waseda, an island country.

 Teaching Japanese to them is just a way of doing it. He is not a full-time Japanese teacher.

 What surprised Li Duoyu the most was that Mr. Xie was also one of the installers of the wind power generation device.

Liu Zhengyuan said: "That's right, our factory recently received a foreign trade order to catch a large number of small fish."

“And there are quite a lot of that kind of fish near your island. They are a bit transparent and not very big. I want to entrust the fishermen of your island to catch them.”

As soon as Director Liu opened his mouth, Li Duoyu knew what kind of fish it was, but he didn't tell him and waited for him to continue.

“There is a local small whitebait called Lishulan. We fishermen generally didn't like it in the past, but I didn't expect that the island countries like to eat it very much.”

Li Duoyu asked: "Isn't that kind of fish a little transparent? It's very small, about two to three centimeters. It will rot into porridge within an hour after being caught."

Liu Zhengyuan said in surprise: "Yes, it's that kind of fish. It's really easy to talk to Director Li about things."

Liu Zhengyuan has been worried to death recently because of this foreign trade order. This order was assigned by the Foreign Trade Bureau.

This kind of fish has a season, and it also has a time limit. The island country hopes to complete it this month.

 After receiving the order, he realized that this fish was not particularly easy to catch. If fishermen wanted to catch this fish, they had to use fine nets.

And this kind of fish will quickly begin to disintegrate within an hour or two after being caught, regardless of whether you put ice on it or not.

More like tofu than the dragon-headed tofu fish. After the local fishermen helped him catch it a few times, they gave up because it was too much trouble and the profit was not enough.

 After Director Liu's description, Li Duoyu became more certain that it was probably the small clove fish.

However, in this era, there was no such name as clove fish, and local fishermen did not have a unified name for this fish.

 Dandan Island has several names for this fish. Some fishermen call it “little whitebait”.

 Some call it "drawing strips".

 It is also called "transparent fish" and "rotten from water".

If you guessed correctly, Director Liu's foreign trade order should be from an island country, because island people attach great importance to height.

I have always wanted to change the genes of short Chinese people through diet. Clove fish is very small, boneless and spineless. It is very suitable for breakfast and side dishes. Children in island countries also like to eat it.

Factory Director Liu lamented: "Actually, I have found many fishermen to catch them before, but they either caught the wrong fish, or all the fish they caught were rotten, and the fish they caught were either thorax or small males. They said they caught them Wrong, you still have to argue with me."

“Director Liu, to be honest, this kind of fish is really hard to distinguish. It's normal for local fishermen to catch the wrong fish. I would like to ask, should we collect fresh fish or dried fish?”

Liu Zhengyuan looked surprised: "This kind of fish rots quickly after being caught. You can make it into dried fish."

Li Duoyu affirmed: "There is a way. I can produce two specifications for you, one is cooked small whitebait, and the other is sun-dried fish for you."

Liu Zhengyuan looked at Li Duoyu and wanted to ask what the method was, but since the other party had no intention of telling him, he felt embarrassed to ask himself.

"If there is a way to make dried fish, then I'd better ask for dried fish."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "By the way, Director Liu, how much do you plan to charge."

 Liu Zhengyuan thought for a while.

"Wet cooked fish costs one piece per catty. If it's dried fish, it costs five yuan per catty. What do you think?" Lao Chen, who was serving the dishes, shook his hand when he heard the price. He really I really want to ask, why is dried fish so expensive? Five yuan per pound?

Li Duoyu was also stunned. The price was completely beyond his expectation. He thought it would be about three yuan, but he unexpectedly raised the price to five yuan.

Li Duoyu remembered that a pound of special-grade clove fish in his previous life was only about fifty or sixty yuan, but the five yuan now is definitely much more valuable than the fifty or sixty yuan in his previous life.

I just don't know how much goods Director Liu would like if he took the whole village to fish for a month.

 Let's not say ten thousand catties of dried fish, but at least five or six thousand catties of dried clove fish. There will definitely be no problem.

People!

When you are lucky, someone will throw money directly into your face and ask you if it is too little.

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Okay, the price is no problem. By the way, Director Liu, how much do you want?"

Liu Zhengyuan said seriously: "Let me tell you the truth, this foreign trade bill is quite large. I can digest as much as you can catch."

 “Then it seems that I have to work hard.”

Liu Zhengyuan smiled and said: "Let's work hard together to earn foreign exchange. Fortunately, I met you today. Otherwise, I would have lost this order."

Li Duoyu asked: "By the way, Director Liu, your purchase price has been officially announced to the public."

Liu Zhengyuan squinted his eyes and laughed. He naturally understood what Li Duoyu meant, but this was normal. Who would want to do something that doesn't make money?

“As for fresh fish, a few fishermen know about it, but this is the first time I have negotiated with them about the purchase price of dried fish.”

 “Then I understand.”

The three of them had a simple meal. Liu Zhengyuan, who was in a good mood, ordered a few bottles of beer, and Li Duoyu drank one. Since he had important things to do in the afternoon, he left first.

“Director Liu, Teacher Xie, I have something else to do in the afternoon, so I'll leave first.”

After Li Duoyu left, when Liu Zhengyuan wanted to pay, he found that Li Duoyu had already paid.

"This guy is still rushing to pay the bill. Does he think that I, a salaried person, don't have as much money as him?"

Xie Youzheng said seriously: "You are right. In terms of financial resources alone, ten of you cannot compare to one Li Duoyu."

Liu Zhengyuan sighed with emotion: "Money is much easier to earn now than before. In the past two years, many comrades have really gone to sea."

 “What about you?”

Liu Zhengyuan smiled and said: "I am in the sea now, just the sea in the organization."

Xie Youzheng said lightly: "Let me tell you something strange. I have met a lot of young people, but this Li Duoyu is the only one I can't understand more and more, and it gives me a very inconsistent feeling."

"How to say?"

Xie Youzheng thought for a while: "I don't know what to say. Anyway, this Li Duoyu is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

Until now, Xie Youzheng has never been able to figure out why Li Duoyu has a Tokyo accent when he just learned Japanese.

 Later, he paid special attention to Li Duoyu and found that he was like a trend-setter of the times, always one step ahead of others.

If this was during the Anti-Japanese War, he would have to be arrested and tortured directly to see what kind of character he was.

 After waiting for others to show up.

Lao Chen was clearing the table, while Chen Xiaoyun was looking in the direction Li Duoyu left in a daze.

Looking at his daughter's nymphomaniac behavior, Lao Chen was almost worried to death, but what was most difficult for him to accept was that Li Duoyu had changed so much.

Two years ago, I still had an afro, smoked and drank, and spoke the essence of the Chinese nation. I looked like a street kid.

 But two years later, his whole temperament had changed, and he even had dinner with Director Liu, his daughter's teacher, and even called him brothers, which was like his life had changed.

“Take off your apron. Go to the construction site in the afternoon and help with the drawings. Don't come to the store to help in the future. Just go to your grandma's place during the holidays.”

 “Dad, why don't you let me come back?”

"You are like this. Even if Li Duoyu is not married yet, he might not like you."

Chen Xiaoyun said angrily: "Dad, what are you talking about? I don't have that idea."

"There is no best. If there is, you are asking for trouble. Anyway, I put my words here. You must not do anything to embarrass me, otherwise you will not recognize me as your father."

Seeing that her father was really angry, Chen Xiaoyun's eyes instantly turned red, and she promised a little aggrievedly:

“Daddy, don't worry, I'm not the kind of girl who doesn't know what's going on.”

"That's good."

“The town government has arrived, are there any people getting off the bus?” Following the conductor's call, Li Duoyu replied: “If there are people getting off the bus, please give way.”

There was a clang.

 The back door of the bus opened, and Li Duoyu squeezed out of the crowd, with chicken feces still stained on his shoes.

 “Damn, bad luck.”

 Because someone came up directly with a chicken, and when he passed by it just now, it was directly on his feet.

After Li Duoyu got out of the car, he buried his shoes in the sand on the roadside and rubbed them a few times, finally rubbing the chicken **** away.

 But if you smell it up close, it still smells a bit stinky.

As soon as Li Duoyu approached the gate of the town committee, the doorman smiled and said hello.

 “Director Li, long time no see.”

Before Li Duoyu could ask, Uncle Chen said, "Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao are both here today."

Li Duoyu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and placed it at the gate.

 “This won't work.”

 The guard uncle saw Li Duoyu directly give him a pack of cigarettes, picked up the cigarettes, and wanted to return them on the spot.

 “It's just a pack of cigarettes, you're welcome.”

 The guard uncle frowned. If it had been anyone else, he would have accepted it, but this Director Li was different.

The longer I get to know him, the more I find that he is not simple, and he has no airs and is very easy to get along with.

“Okay, next time you come here, I'll get some dried bamboo shoots from my house for you to try.”

"This is acceptable."

Li Duoyu arrived at Secretary Chen's office with ease and gently knocked on the door twice.

"Come in."

"Is there a problem?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment and found that Secretary Chen did not look up at him, but was wearing glasses and immersed in writing documents.

“Secretary Chen, it seems you asked me to come here.”

After hearing the sound, Chen Shulin raised his head suddenly. When he saw Li Duoyu, he quickly said: "Sorry, I thought it was Xiao Ding. When did you come back? If you don't come back, I will really go to Ludao to find you." ”

"I just arrived last night. I heard that you wanted to see me for something, so I came over immediately."

Chen Shulin frowned and said, "Director Li, you may have to wait for me for a while. The document I have is urgent. I will tell you after I finish writing it."

 “You are busy first.”

　　"There happen to be oranges brought by others on the table. Peel them and eat them yourself."

"good."

Li Duoyu was not polite and just peeled the oranges and started eating them. After waiting for about half an hour, Secretary Chen finally finished writing the document and shouted directly through the door.

 “Xiao Ding, come over here.”

 In less than half a minute, a young staff member arrived at the office of a senior town official.

Chen Shulin handed a piece of letter paper containing documents into his hand: "You will send this document to the county committee in the afternoon, and tell Mayor Gao that Director Li Duoyu is here." (End of Chapter)
