1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer Chapter 583

The three-alum jellyfish produced by Li Duoyu and his brand-new jellyfish cooking method have broken most people's understanding of jellyfish.

This is also the first time for everyone to experience that jellyfish can be so delicious.

When the town leaders left.

Li Duoyu each gave them a bucket, and the village party secretaries and village directors who came to inspect also gave a bucket.

At night, Li Duoyu cooked a jellyfish feast with his relatives alone.

Lao Li was also full of praise.

“Send some to your elder brother.”

Li Yaoguo said: "How much do you plan to sell it for?"

Those villagers who had tasted jellyfish were urging Li Duoyu to quickly pull out the jellyfish and sell them.

But now Li Duoyu is a bit difficult, mainly because this jellyfish is difficult to price.

In fact, in the entire process of making three-alum jellyfish, the cheapest thing is the jellyfish itself.

A jellyfish is only five points.

Each one weighs an average of twenty kilograms, but after cutting off the head and tail, and then passing it through three vitriols, there is almost only four kilograms left.

If you add various transportation costs, labor costs, and material costs, Li Duoyu calculated that the cost of a pound of three-alum jellyfish is about 30 cents.

This does not include the most expensive packaging - plastic barrels. But in this era, plastic products are very expensive. It seems that the richest man in Hong Kong, Li, made his first pot of gold from plastic products.

Even if you have already contacted the plastic factory through Chen Yuanyu, the production cost is still there.

Li Duoyu ordered barrels of several specifications, including five kilograms, ten kilograms and twenty kilograms. The average cost of each bucket is about one yuan.

Li Duoyu roughly estimated that after all the jellyfish are finished with three vitriol, they will weigh about 60,000 kilograms.

It will take more than 4,000 plastic buckets to fill all the jellyfish. By then, the production cost of the entire three-alan jellyfish will exceed 20,000.

Li Duoyu made a simple calculation. If he did not engage in foreign trade, he would sell one pound per pound.

After deducting all costs, Li Duoyu can earn about 40,000 yuan.

This investment and return are considered very high, after all, the cycle is only one month.

After a simple test, everyone thought that the jellyfish was delicious, but if the ex-factory price is one pound per pound.

Most people cannot accept it. After all, jellyfish are not very expensive to people on the beach.

Zhou Xiaoying thought for a long time and said seriously: "If it were me, the acceptable price would be 50 cents per catty."

His father was even more ruthless: "It's delicious, but if it costs more than three cents, I think it's a bit expensive."

Second brother Li Yaoguo thought for a while: "I also think that one piece is too expensive and ordinary people can't afford it. I also think that the ex-factory price is about 50 cents. After all, middlemen still have to make money."

But if he sells it at this price, Li Duoyu can only make 10,000 yuan at most. After deducting some losses and subsequent transportation costs, he will not make any money at all.

He is a businessman, not a philanthropist. Besides, he is already short of funds. If he doesn't make money, he will be in trouble.

This time Li Duoyu overcame the public opinion and decided that the ex-factory price would be one piece directly. If people on the island want to buy, they can directly enjoy the ex-factory price.

There were originally many people in the village who wanted to buy Li Duoyu's jellyfish, but after learning the factory price, the whole village was in an uproar.

Chenjia Village next door was even more confused. Their pickled jellyfish sold for less than a cent per kilogram.

Li Duoyu was ten times more powerful than them. This time, even the people in Chenjiacun couldn't help but say, "Li Duoyu, did you drink too much wine yesterday?"

Lao Lu even scolded him on the spot: "Li Duoyu, a black-hearted man, received 5 cents for a twenty catty of jellyfish, but now he sells one piece for a catty of jellyfish."

On the other hand, the Zhao brothers, Wang Jinshan, and Zhao Xiaoliu still firmly supported Li Duoyu.

“Brother Yu's jellyfish is worth the price. It's really delicious.”

Zhao Dahai hummed: "If you can't afford it, don't buy it. Anyway, I'll buy twenty kilograms first and keep it. If you don't buy it, there won't be such good jellyfish to eat this year."

Lao Lu couldn't help but cursed: "You sycophants, if you hold Duoyu up like this, you might become the second Wang Dapao."

“Nonsense, Brother Yu is much better than Wang Dapao. Has Wang Dapao ever made money with the villagers?”

While the two were having a verbal spat, Wang Dapao, who was sitting on the pier enjoying the cool air, couldn't help but sigh. He wanted to say:

I was not that unbearable at the beginning. I remember that when I first became the captain, I led the village to do a lot of great things.

After Li Duoyu's pricing was announced, Chen Yuanyu even called her personally. Even she was not very optimistic.

Originally, Xinyuan Aquatic Products wanted 20,000 kilograms of jellyfish, but after some thought, they only asked for 10,000 kilograms to test the market response.

Taking into account the current domestic consumption level, Li Duoyu only gave Xinyuan aquatic products 5,000 kilograms in the end.

Follow.

Li Duoyu got a lot of materials, took two barrels of jellyfish, and went straight to the Rongcheng Foreign Trade Bureau.

Looking at the five-story building in front of me, there are also the conspicuous red letters on it.

Li Duoyu was actually in a daze. Speaking of which, he had cooperated with the Foreign Trade Bureau many times.

But so far he has never come in person. Most of them are handled by the Fisheries Bureau on his behalf.

　　Even I haven't been to Changwei Customs. They go directly to the site for inspection and quarantine.

But as soon as I arrived at the door, I found a huge crowd of people, shouting and shouting everywhere, and everyone was pestering the export salesmen.

“Mr. Zhang, the quality of the plastic shoes produced by our company is very good. Please give us some export cooperation.”

“My relative is from Hong Kong. He wants a batch of leather jackets. Can you provide me with a three-to-one supplement policy?”

When a salesman heard this, he couldn't help but cursed:

“Did you make a mistake? You want us to get you three to make up for it and one to make up for it. Then you can find the third thing by yourself. When the deal is finally concluded, we will make up for it for you.”

Foreign trade is so profitable these days. Whether it is state-owned or private enterprises, they are all thinking about earning foreign exchange.

As soon as Li Duoyu arrived at the door, he was stopped by the guard. The man looked Li Duoyu up and down.

Looks a bit familiar, but I don't know who he is.

Every person who comes to the Foreign Trade Bureau to discuss matters is not wearing a suit and leather shoes and carrying a leather bag.

There is no one like him who looks very ordinary and carries two buckets. Who knows what is in them.

The doorman glanced at him and immediately felt that people like him were 100% hopeless. The export salesmen in the building probably didn't want to talk to him when they saw him like this.

At this moment, the bell of the Foreign Trade Bureau rang, and then a staff member came out and said to the doorman:

"There are too many people in the hall, let's go here first today." Hearing this, the doorman immediately understood what he meant and stretched out his hand directly in front of Li Duoyu.

"The number is full today. Starting from this place, people behind you should stop waiting in line and come back tomorrow."

After hearing this, those waiting in line at the back were unhappy. A middle-aged man who looked like he had used hair wax and had a slicked back hair quickly went up and handed over a pack of cigarettes.

“If you'd like, please let us in. It's not easy for us to come to Rongcheng. Food and accommodation will cost a lot of money.”

The doorman glanced at the cigarettes he handed over with a look of disgust on his face. This place is engaged in foreign trade, but there was not even a pack of imported cigarettes.

“Take it back, we will follow the rules and let you in. When the time comes, the leaders will scold us to death.”

The middle-aged man put his head behind his back and clasped his hands together: "Brother, can you be accommodating?"

"No, if I let you in, will those people in line behind you let you in?"

After the doorman finished speaking, he closed the door directly: "That's it for today. Come back tomorrow."

After the door is closed.

These people who were still in line began to curse.

“What a piece of shit, he's just a janitor, what else can he pretend to be?”

The middle-aged uncle tore apart Hongtashan and also cursed: "Hongtashan doesn't even look down on it. He really thinks he is a foreigner."

After unpacking the cigarettes, the middle-aged uncle handed one to Li Duoyu: "Young man, I almost missed you in the queue just now. Why didn't you say something to him?"

Li Duoyu took the cigarette and said, "Look at me dressed like this. If I say a few words, will he let me in?"

“It seems so.”

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged uncle handed Li Duoyu a business card: "My name is Zhang Jinbao, and I am engaged in foreign trade of clothing."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I forgot my business card. My name is Li Duoyu, and I do seafood."

“I understand, I came here like this before.” Zhang Jinbao smiled, but he vaguely felt that he had heard the name Li Duoyu somewhere, but he had no impression of it.

“You have a good name. It sounds like seafood. However, when you come to a place like the Foreign Trade Bureau, I suggest you bring your business card with you. If you don't even have this, the export salesmen won't give you a shit.”

Li Duoyu smiled, he really took it out. Li Duoyu didn't plan to find those export salesmen at all, but planned to come directly to Section Chief Jiang.

It's just that Li Duoyu didn't expect that if he didn't use his connections, he wouldn't even be able to get in on the first day.

Li Duoyu was not in a hurry. After all, jellyfish can be stored for a long time, so he just happened to bring some more jellyfish.

Aniang is still here in Rongcheng, so she can just go there for a visit and give some jellyfish to my eldest brother and the others.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Zhang Jinbao was not only a talkative but also a familiar person.

“Duoyu, what's in this bucket?”

Li Duoyu replied: "It's a jellyfish."

After hearing the word jellyfish, Zhang Jinbao was stunned and looked at him in shock: "Who told you that you can export this thing?"

Perhaps because he thought Li Duoyu was too new, Zhang Jinbao couldn't help but whisper in his ear:

“Let me tell you secretly, the clothing trade is the biggest one. One-third of our country's foreign exchange is earned from making clothes.”

After hearing this, Li Duoyu was also quite surprised. It seemed that this businessman named Zhang Jinbao was indeed quite familiar with foreign trade.

What he said is absolutely correct. In this era, clothing foreign trade is indeed a pillar industry of foreign trade. It seems that it is sold through Hong Kong Island and then sold to all over the world.

But the competition is also huge, and small manufacturers have no chance at all.

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "No, I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, forget it."

The middle-aged uncle sighed: "Why don't you believe me? If you want to export jellyfish, the export salesman will immediately call the next one."

Those who didn't queue up and were cursing at her almost dispersed. Li Duoyu also planned to call a tricycle and then go see Aniang.

But this man named Zhang Jinbao was still very enthusiastic: "Duoyu, you must be from out of town too. Let's stay in the guest house together at night. Seeing how you have just entered the industry, I will tell you about foreign trade. detail."

On such a hot day, Li Duoyu originally planned to stay in an air-conditioned foreign trade hotel, but after hearing this, he suddenly became interested.

“You don't get halfway through your talk and then charge for it.”

“I'm like that kind of person.”

Zhang Jinbao took a puff of cigarette and said with emotion: "If small bosses like us don't work together, we won't be able to handle those state-owned and overseas Chinese enterprises."

“Let's stay at the nearby guest house tonight. It's close to the Foreign Trade Bureau and the Post and Telecommunications Building. There are many foreign trade people like us there. When the time comes, I will introduce some people to you.”

“Then thank you, Brother Zhang.”

“We are all our own people, so there is no need to be so polite.”

Just in time, Li Duoyu also wanted to meet the trendsetters of this era.

These small business owners who are still living in hotels and have difficulty even entering the Foreign Trade Bureau may become big bosses in a certain industry in the future.

Li Duoyu followed the foreign trade veteran and simply registered at the guest house.

Perhaps because this guesthouse is relatively close to the Foreign Trade Bureau, the price is twice as high as other guesthouses.

And the facilities are very old, as if they were from the 1960s and 1970s, and there is not even a place to take a shower.

If you want to take a bath, you have to carry a basin to a shared bathhouse 200 meters away. If you want to use the toilet, you have to go to a public toilet.

But in such an old guest house, all the people coming in and out are people in suits and leather shoes, holding briefcases, and all they talk about is business.

Li Duoyu originally wanted a single room, but the owner of the guest house became a little angry after hearing this: "We are not a foreign trade hotel. Our room is at least a four-person room. I can't live in it."

Li Duoyu's mouth is wide open. Damn it, if you say a few more words, I will go and stay at the Foreign Trade Hotel.

In the end, Zhang Jinbao quickly smoothed things over: "Boss, young people are not sensible, so a four-person room will be a four-person room. Give us two keys and try to arrange for two more sensible people to live with us."

The boss took out two keys and said: "Room 314, the deposit for the washbasin and hot water kettle is five yuan, and you can get the hot water kettle yourself on the first floor."

Seeing this arrogant boss, Li Duoyu really wanted to open a hotel next door to him, which would make him so angry.

But if you think about it, if you can open a guest house in this area, it is 100% relevant.

Perhaps if we dig deeper, we may be able to pry into a certain leader's cake.

Li Duoyu brought two buckets of jellyfish, one large and one small, and originally wanted to put one of the buckets in the room.

But when I thought about the incident of grabbing the camera at the gate of West Lake, I felt that people in this era are still relatively simple, so we took the tricycle together and headed to the dormitory building of the machinery factory. (End of chapter)
