1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 507

 Li Duoyu returned home.

 Zhou Xiaoying was still a little angry when she heard the news, and her mouth was filled with anger.

"Why didn't you discuss it with me and just said that I planned to buy a boat and rent it to everyone? Several people came to me just now and asked me. If they didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known about it."

Li Duoyu was a little surprised: "These people are very quick. I planned to tell you when I get home, but I didn't expect that they came to you first."

Zhou Xiaoying puffed out her cheeks, still feeling a little unhappy.

“Also, where do I have so much private money? If you say it like this, others don't know it and think that I have taken all the money you earned.”

 Li Duoyu chuckled.

“Isn't this good? If word gets out, it means that Director Li from Xiasha Village is very afraid of his wife, so he gave all his money to his wife.”

Zhou Xiaoying snorted: "I'm not the kind of person who particularly likes money. After you say that, everyone must think that I value money very seriously."

Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "Teacher Zhou, it's a disease of young people. If you really don't like money, then you won't rent these boats and give them to them directly?"

 “How dare you!” Zhou Xiaoying became fierce on the spot

But not long after, she said worriedly: "Duoyu, if we rent the boat to them, if these people run away with our boat, or lose it, and the boat sinks into the sea, then what will happen?" Didn't we lose a ship in vain?”

Li Duoyu lowered his head and thought for a while: "So, the review conditions must be stricter. Not everyone is qualified to rent our fishing boat. They must have something that can be used as collateral."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and said, "But they don't even have the money to buy a ship. How can they have assets to mortgage for us?"

Li Duoyu said with a smile: "Teacher Zhou, your vision is not good. There are many things that can be used as collateral, and they are not necessarily assets.

For example, reputation and integrity can be mortgaged, and the house at home can also be mortgaged. We try to rent to those with better reputations, and we must sign a contract with the other party. If the other party breaches the contract maliciously, then we will classify him as blacklist. "

After Li Duoyu said this, Zhou Xiaoying immediately understood: "How much is the monthly rent for the newly purchased fishing boat?"

Li Duoyu thought carefully: "The rent is fifty fifty a month. The boat is ours, and they pay for the fuel themselves."

 “Is it so cheap?”

 Li Duoyu wanted to tell him that the rent was not cheap and not every day was suitable for fishing.

Like last year's continuous bad weather, some fishermen couldn't even make back their gas expenses. Li Duoyu didn't want to explain too much to Zhou Xiaoying.

Zhou Xiaoying continued: "A fishing boat with an engine costs at least 2,500 yuan. If you rent it for only 50 yuan a month, it will take several years to get the money back."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "Have you forgotten again what I told you when we rented a house?"

Zhou Xiaoying thought about it for a while, and then she remembered that if the rent of the store did not depreciate, then the rent would be in vain.

The same goes for chartering a boat. It will take almost four to five years to recover the capital. By then, it will be equivalent to earning more money from these fishing boats.

If you have enough stores and fishing boats, then even a shrimp farm with a lot of fish will not make any money.

Her store and fishing boat are sold, and she can also help him repay the loan for the breeding equipment to some extent.

After Zhou Xiaoying figured it out, she smiled and said: "There are still many people on our island who don't have fishing boats. How about we buy a few more boats and rent them to them."

 Li Duoyu suddenly discovered that his wife had a bit of business acumen, and her idea was right.

It is true that you can buy a few more boats and rent them to the villagers, but there is no need to do it so quickly. There is something called the scarcity of things.

People are like this. Things that are too easy to get are not rare.

“It's possible, but you have to wait for a while. During this time, the shrimp farm will have to spend a lot of money.”

Li Duoyu saw that Zhou Xiaoying kept bulging her mouth and covering the left side of her face, and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

“It's nothing, I just bumped my teeth when I bit the crab claws, and I've been feeling a little sore for the past two days.”

Li Duoyu, who suffered a toothache while working illegally in an island country, knows very well how terrible a toothache is.

If the tooth really hurts, it's really life-threatening. Even painkillers have no effect. I want to take a vise and pull the tooth out on the spot.

 “I'll take you to the county to see a doctor.”

Zhou Xiaoying shook her head and said: "It's not very painful. Maybe it will be fine when I wake up tomorrow. Besides, I just took leave to go to Hong Kong Island. I can't take leave now to go to the dentist."

“Then if you are really in pain, tell me and I will take you to the hospital immediately.”

 Zhou Xiaoying nodded and said: "I understand."

This time fishing for prawns has indeed made a lot of people make money. Some fishermen have followed the magic and eat and sleep directly on the fishing boats.

Some people simply don't close their nets, regardless of whether they can catch shrimp during the day, just to get a good position in Qixing Bay.

In the past two days, Li Duoyu has been selecting suitable broodstock shrimps and has not gone out to sea with the fleet to catch shrimps.

From what Xiaochao and the others said, Qixing Bay is like dumplings, as far as the eye can see they are all filled with fishing boats.

Not only did they carry the fishing boats on the island, but people from nearby Shangqi Village and Xiagong Village seemed to have heard the news, and they all sailed to Qixing Bay to catch shrimps. Even the fishermen from Langqi Village also sailed over.

Fishing nets are all kinds of "fights". Fishermen from several villages have been quarreling at sea because of their territorial disputes.

There are the most fishing boats on Kedandan Island. If they really attack them at sea, they will really not be able to catch them. So Shangqi Village and Xiagong Village are grouped together, and they are barely evenly matched.

As for the later Langqi Village, because they did not want to offend Dandan Island, they chose neutrality and acted as a peacemaker.

After all, summer is coming again, and their village has also cultivated a lot of kelp. If there is a real problem, Li Duoyu will have to ask for guidance and help.

In the past two days, the most devastated ones were the Tang brothers. They hired a boat and hired a "water ghost" to salvage their sunken ship.

But when we got there, we discovered that the entire sea area was a mess, filled with fishing nets, and it was impossible for large ships to enter.

Not only did he not catch his own fishing boat, but he still had to pay for the fishing boats and water ghosts, which was the biggest headache.

The longer the diesel engine is soaked in the sea, the higher the repair cost will be. The two brothers originally planned to carry the pig's feet and noodles to thank Director Li for saving his life after the boat was repaired.

The group of crazy fishermen in front of us don't seem to be able to communicate easily. Depending on the situation, it's not easy to catch the boat.

Seeing hundreds of fishing boats operating in Qixing Bay, the town called in the militia company and people from the police station to prevent conflicts among the fishermen. Even Mayor Gao personally went to the scene to take command.

When the mayor Gao Tianyun learned that this matter was more or less related to Li Duoyu, he was angry and helpless and said:

"This kid is really capable of causing trouble. Last time he went to Dingwan Bay to cause trouble, and this time he came to Qixing Bay again. This kid doesn't really think that all the sea areas belong to them."

 At this moment, a staff member in the town said:

“Mayor, we seem to have leased the entire Qixing Bay area to Director Li. Logically speaking, he has the priority to use the sea area in front of us.”

Thinking of this incident, Mayor Gao frowned and said, "So, it's Li Duoyu who got pregnant."

 The staff nodded and said: "At present, it is indeed like this."

Gao Tianyun looked at the staff member in front of him: "No, Xiao Chen, your **** is a little crooked. Since when did you wear the same pants as Li Duoyu? How can you speak for him like this?"

Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "Director Li is a very nice person. I would like to wear the same pants as him, but it's a pity that I don't have this blessing."

Gao Tianyun glared and said, "It's okay. I've been back from Hong Kong Island for so many days, and I still don't know how to report to the town."

Xiao Chen replied: "Director Li, I just came back from Hong Kong Island, and my trustee told me that I am very busy at this time, and I will find a time to come over next week."

“Tch, he's busy, no one else is busy, right? I may not have time to receive him next week.”

Staff Xiao Chen chuckled. Mayor Gao was a typical smart-mouthed person, and he actually valued Director Li very much.

I prepared the tea early, but I didn't think that Director Li had never been able to come over. Speaking of it, Director Li's Hong Kong Island Bank did make many leaders feel sour.

Li Duoyu really didn't have time to go to the town committee recently to report the situation to Secretary Chen and Mayor Gao.

The fishermen have caught too many shrimps in the past two days. In addition to selecting suitable broodstock shrimps, Li Duoyu also has to sell the remaining shrimps to Chen Yuanyou.

In the past two days, Li Duoyu's eyesight was almost dazzled, and he finally selected more than 4,000 pairs of suitable broodstock shrimps.

These broodstock are 100% sufficient for breeding shrimp larvae. If managed well, there may be more.

 At that time, it can even be sold to surrounding shrimp farmers at a low price.

Ever since Li Duoyu prepared to raise shrimps, my brother-in-law Chen Dongqing has been particularly active. He goes to Dandan Island almost whenever he has time.

After seeing how many broodstock shrimps Li Duoyu had made, Chen Dongqing was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He picked up one of them, which was as big as the palm of his hand.

 “There are so many fish, where can we get so many broodstock shrimps?”

Li Duoyu joked: "I want to say that I bought it from Haixin Group. Do you believe it?" "Believe me? They don't have any shrimps, so how can they sell them to you?"

Li Duoyu replied truthfully: "These broodstock shrimps were caught in the past few days."

The uncle suddenly realized: "Did you catch it in Qixing Bay?"

"Um."

After Chen Dongqing read these shrimps, he started gossiping: "I'll tell you some good news. I heard from a friend of the county party committee that Zhang Xianxian's office is vacant and it seems that he has been transferred."

 Li Duoyu was a little surprised: "So fast?"

Chen Dongqing smiled and said: "The main reason is that he committed other crimes and was also found out. This time it is said that the leader behind Zhang Xianxian was also involved."

Li Duoyu was a little surprised:

 “Is there someone else behind him?”

“That's for sure, otherwise Zhang Xianxian is so stupid, knowing that your relationship with the big boss is not simple, and still going against you, someone must have given instructions.”

 “That's it.” If that's the case, Li Duoyu would have figured it all out.

Chen Dongqing whispered: "It is said that because of this incident, the leadership behind Zhang Xianxian also suffered a lot of bleeding. In short, someone above him won the victory very thoroughly."

Li Duoyu smiled. He didn't know much about officialdom, nor was he interested in it. As a reborn person, he had one thing in mind, which was to hug the leader's lap.

Zhang left first, which was a good thing. Li Duoyu couldn't help but ask: "Where was the man named Zhang transferred to?"

Chen Dongqing smiled and said: "The specifics have not been decided yet, but I have heard that they may be driven to the northwest. I heard people say that the development there is very poor, and it is difficult to use water now."

 “How can it be adjusted so far away?”

 Chen Dongqing shook his head and said: "I don't understand either. Maybe the leader above him felt it was not safe to keep him around, so he was transferred."

As soon as he heard about Northwest, Li Duoyu's mind was filled with Xihaigu from "The Love of Mountains and Seas". Life in the Northwest in this era was not easy.

In the years since the reform, due to its location on the coast and smuggling, their city has rapidly integrated with international standards and attracted many foreign-invested enterprises.

 In addition, their province itself has a very large number of overseas Chinese, and these people are also the main force in promoting the development of their province.

Li Duoyu chatted with his uncle for a while and then continued to work on the shrimp business.

The uncle also caught a few ordinary shrimps and was performing eyestalk separation on them. However, after trying several times without success, he was so angry that he grilled the shrimps and ate them.

Now that the broodstock problem has been solved, the next step is the construction of the shrimp farm and the issue of power supply.

Things can only be done step by step, but at this moment, my brother-in-law came over and his face was not very good: "Duoyu, I have something to tell you."

During this period, Li Duoyu asked his brother-in-law to go to Qixing Bay first and fence the thousand acres of land.

Seeing his brother-in-law frowning, Li Duoyu had a bad premonition: "Is there something wrong at Qixing Bay?"

 Brother-in-law nodded.

“Xiao Jin had a conflict with someone over there, and was beaten by a nearby villager.”

 Li Duoyu became nervous on the spot: "Is anyone injured?"

“The person is still conscious, but he cannot be discharged from the hospital yet. The doctor said he needs to be observed.”

 “Where are people now?”

 “At the health center in town.”

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "I'll go see him first."

Before leaving, Li Duoyu brought a lot of unity from home, and also went to the village supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bottle of malted milk and three bottles of canned sugar water.

When Li Duoyu finished shopping and left, several counter clerks looked at him with envy: "It's great to have money. You can buy whatever you want, including malted milk and canned food."

 A female salesperson said: "If I were Teacher Zhou, I would buy a can of canned fruit every day."

Others joked: "With our village director's family background, if you were Teacher Zhou, you could afford ten cans a day."

 “That's not okay, you can't eat it until you become a fat man.”

After Li Duoyu finished shopping, he took his brother-in-law and sailed to the town health center.

The health center in the town is not very big, but there are many people coming to see the doctor. Under the leadership of his brother-in-law, they came to a ward with multiple rooms.

Li Duoyu arrived at the ward.

The first people I saw were Xiao Jin's parents, the butcher Lao Jin, and Sister Jin Hua.

They were sitting next to the hospital bed, all frowning, while Xiao Jin was lying on the hospital bed with a plaster on his right hand and a bandage on his head. His left eye was swollen and looked like he was seriously injured.

After Lao Jin saw Li Duoyu, he quickly stood up and said hello: "Director Li, why are you here?"

 After meeting Li Duoyu, he quickly handed over the malted milk and canned fruit he was carrying to Lao Jin.

 Lao Jin shied away: "Don't be so polite. It's just a minor injury, but you still want to buy such an expensive thing."

 “I bought everything, and there was no one who even took it back to the hospital.”

“There is still this money, please keep it first.” Li Duoyu took out ten large coupons and put them in Lao Jin's hand: “This money is used to pay for hospitalization and recuperation expenses.”

 Lao Jin quickly refused: "Director Li, this is impossible."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "Lao Jin, you must accept this money. Your son was injured because of the company, so the company is responsible, and the money must be paid by the company."

Xiao Jin felt hot when he saw Brother Yu giving so much money to his family all at once. He hadn't even started to make money for Brother Yu yet, so he had lost so much without thinking.

　　Xiao Jin sat up directly from the hospital bed: "Brother Yu, it's really not necessary. It's really just a minor injury. It will be fine in two days. My father used to beat me even more severely."

Sister-in-law Jinhua said urgently: "You kid, lie down quickly. The doctor said it's best for you to stay in bed and not move this month."

Li Duoyu said angrily: "Listen to the doctor and lie down quickly."

 After Xiao Jin lay down again, he said very embarrassedly: "Brother Yu, I'm really sorry, I had a conflict with someone."

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "Tell me first, what exactly happened?"

Xiao Jin, who was lying on the bed, replied: "Brother Zhang and I were originally reinforcing the fences at Qixing Bay.

 But I found that a lot of people suddenly came on the side near Xiamong Village, and they were tearing down our fence.

 So, I stepped forward to argue with them, saying that this is the land rented by our Minlong Company.

But they didn't listen at all. They also said that this land had been theirs a long time ago and kicked down the fence surrounding it.

 Then, I stood in front of the fence, and one of them pushed me. Then I pushed him too, and they started beating me. "

Lao Jin frowned and said: "Director Li, Xiao Jin is not mature yet and does things a little impulsively. There are so many people and they dare to fight back. It's better not to be beaten to death."

Sister-in-law Jin Hua said angrily: "What does it mean to be immature? Our Xiao Jin was bullied by them. How can we blame Xiao Jin for this kind of thing?"

Li Duoyu frowned and asked, "Do you know where the person who hit you is from?"

Xiao Jin shook his head: "I don't know, but it's probably from Xiagong Village."

Li Duoyu asked: "Brother-in-law, have you seen that group of people?"

 Zhang Mingsheng shook his head and said, "I happened to be at the other end at that moment. By the time I found out, the group of people had already run away."

Li Duoyu then said: "Then if I find someone and pull him in front of you, can you recognize him?"

Xiao Jin gritted his teeth and said:

“One hundred percent yes, I know exactly who hit me with a stick among those bastards.”

Li Duoyu narrowed his eyes. It was impossible to just let it go like this. What he was most worried about was that no one knew who Xiao Jin had been beaten.

As Xiaojin's boss, I have to stand up for him. Also, this place will be a shrimp farm in the future, so it is very necessary to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys.

Li Duoyu was not worried at all about not being able to find the ones who beat up people. According to Xiao Jin's description, these people were most likely from Xiagong Village. There must be brave men under the heavy reward.

 I originally planned to go to the town committee next week, but depending on the situation, it is necessary to go there in advance to give the leaders a good response to the situation. (End of chapter)
