The old people present were quite surprised when they heard that they could be the directors of the ancestral temple, because they did not know about it.
Even Chen Huotan couldn't help but ask: "When will our island have this quota?"
Chen Yuanshan replied: "Our Chenjia Village has some connections with the Chen family on Meizhou Island, otherwise we wouldn't be able to invite the golden avatar back."
After he said this, the old people in Xiasha Village were all a little embarrassed. They had heard something about what happened back then.
The Tianhou Palace on Qidandan Island really belonged to their Chenjia Village at first, but they had a falling out later.
The relatively small number of them was squeezed to the other end of Dandan Island, which made everyone think that Thean Hou Temple was originally their Xiasha Village.
Li Duoyu had also heard of these past events. After Chenjiacun was squeezed out, their village originally planned to build another Tianhou Palace.
When Ke was building it, it didn't go very smoothly. Many things happened. In the end, they had no choice but to "ask God" for the decision.
In the end, everyone disagreed, and in the end the construction was not continued, and Xiasha Village did not do anything right on such a major issue.
Although the two villages were at odds with each other, everyone still worshiped Mazu together.
Li Duoyu then asked: "Can I become a director there without doing anything?"
Chen Yuanshan laughed. Because of his age, when he laughed, his whole face was covered with wrinkles.
"It's like this, because we have some relationship with the Chen family. If I go to be the director of the ancestral temple, I only need to help with a little help. If you want to be the director, Duoyu, there are still some conditions."
Old fox!
Looking at the smiling Chen Yuanshan, Li Duoyu didn't believe his lies, if it were so easy to become a director.
He didn't believe that Chen Yuanshan would burst out with kindness and leave him such a good opportunity. He was not so polite when he was fighting for the top spot.
Moreover, being a director of the ancestral temple is really not something that ordinary people can do. It is estimated that many overseas Chinese are rushing to become one.
"What are the conditions?"
Chen Yuanshan smiled and said: "Next year's celebration will be quite big, and there will be a lot of money to spend. Repairing the pier, preparing materials for the celebration, and renovating the ancestral temple all require money."
After the people in the room heard this, they understood what it meant on the spot. It was all nonsense about having a quota. It was obviously a donation to buy a director seat.
Li Duoyu is a very smart kid. He doesn't want to continue being the boss, so he really won't necessarily spend the money.
Unexpectedly, everyone guessed almost all wrong. After Li Duoyu thought for a while, he asked: "It's almost the same. How much do you need to donate?"
Chen Yuanshan smiled and said: "It's quite a lot for us, but it shouldn't be much for you."
After speaking, he stretched out **** and said, "It's almost 20,000."
After hearing this figure, most people present took a breath of air-conditioning. It takes two households worth ten thousand yuan to support one director.
However, he was really right. This amount of money is really not much for Li Duoyu today.
It has already been spread on the island that if Li Duoyu sells all the shrimps this time, he can earn almost 700,000 yuan.
Among them, there is still 300,000 yuan in foreign exchange. If you include the farmed blue crabs, it is estimated to be 800,000 yuan.
In this era when it is difficult to make a household worth ten thousand yuan, this young man in front of me has made more than one million yuan a year!
Twenty thousand yuan was indeed not much for Li Duoyu, but this act of donating money in exchange for being a director made him a little uncomfortable.
After looking around at everyone, he said: "First of all, I would like to thank everyone for supporting me this year, but to be honest, I am really not a qualified boss.
A lot of things are handled by Uncle Fotan and Uncle Yuan Shan. Apart from throwing the Holy Grail, I really do very little. Today, I am here to express my position. I will definitely not be able to continue to be the leader.
If you need my help at the ancestral temple, I will definitely help. If the ancestral temple needs to be renovated and the money is not enough, I can also donate directly, but I think it is inappropriate to donate money to the directors.
This kind of thing should still be done based on seniority and contribution. Just because I make money, I can't blatantly go through the back door. "
Everyone present was a little stunned after hearing this. Qi Wenli, the oldest among them, suddenly said:
"This time I'm on Director Li's side. It's true that we've thought too much about this matter. Let's just keep everything as usual and follow the original rules."
Everyone really didn't expect that old bones like them would be reasoned with by a young man in his early twenties.
"well!"
Chen Huotan sighed. Unexpectedly, they worked so hard that in the end Li Duoyu rejected all their proposals.
"Okay, let's stop here first. I also think what Duoyu said makes sense. It's true that we have made things complicated."
Li Duoyu chuckled and said, "Uncle Huo Tan, aren't you angry?"
"Why are you angry? If I am angry about something like this, how can I live to this age?"
"Hahaha!"
After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and the awkward atmosphere disappeared.
"If everything's okay, I'll leave first." Li Duoyu quickly rubbed oil on his feet and slipped away.
But after he left, the old man in this room, who were almost two thousand years old in total, couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Old Zheng, who often plays four-color cards in the square, said: "I always feel that times have changed. Today's young people think differently from us."
Someone else said: "I think this kid Duoyu has very upright views. If he had agreed just now, to be honest, I still feel it would be a bit inappropriate."
An old man lamented: "Those who can bring everyone together to make money have different ideas from us."
After Li Duoyu fled, when he came to the dock, the fishmonger Lao Mi was "on leave" again.
All the fishing boats on the island were requisitioned by the Li family. No one fished at all, and he, the fishmonger, lost his job.
In the last month of previous years, he could earn at least a few hundred yuan, but this year it seems that there is no chance. He originally planned to go to Qingkou Pier to grab a business.
It turned out that it was similar to Dandan Island. Almost all the fishing boats in the town were hired to hang kelp seedlings. With nothing to do, he sat on the dock and listened to the radio.
After seeing Li Duoyu, Lao Mi said angrily: "Next time, you should hang kelp seedlings earlier. If you do this, I won't even make any money."
Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said: "Uncle Mi, don't work so hard, okay? It's okay to make less money. Have you celebrated the New Year with your children this year?"
"There should be."
When Li Duoyu asked this question, Old Man Mi felt that all his strength had been drained from his body. Every family had sutras that were difficult to recite.
And this family tradition almost tortured him to death. The more sons he had, the more **** he had to do.
This year he also established fifty acres of kelp fields and asked them to contribute money to help with the development, but none of them agreed. In the end, he borrowed it from a relative, but two days ago, he gave some dried fish and aquatic products to the children in Rongcheng.
The kelp seedlings had just been hung up, and they were already planning how to divide the fifty acres of kelp fields.
Raising children to prevent old age is a fool's errand. Now all of them are vampires. After the eldest son has finished sucking, the second son will suck, and after the second son has finished sucking, the third son will suck!
Seeing Lao Mi's expression, Li Duoyu guessed it instantly: "Uncle Mi, you still have to be ruthless. When you have money, you are the uncle. If you have no money, then you are the grandson."
Lao Mi was stunned for a while, and he understood the meaning of Li Duoyu's words.
In fact, he has always been very clear that whenever he has money, these little bastards, including his daughters-in-law, are very nice to him, but as soon as they have no money, they will immediately become more troublesome.
Lao Mi also felt that Duoyu was right about one thing, he was just too soft-hearted and not ruthless enough!
Next, he plans to keep the money in his own hands, and cannot give them money immediately when they cry about poverty.
But now there is no one fishing, so where can he make money?
Seeing Li Duoyu sailing away, Lao Mi quickly shouted: "Duoyu, I'll go work at your place these two days."
Li Duoyu said disgustedly: "No, you are too old and your health is so bad. I will lose money by hiring you."
"Hey, why are you talking? I'm in poor health. When I was young, I was much better than you, okay?"
The sea is still very busy, with nearly a hundred boats plying the pier and going back and forth from the kelp fields.
At the beginning, there were really too many boats. I had seen traffic jams on the road, but I had never seen a boat jam at sea.
But it was really blocked.
Because the waterway is fixed, if there are too many ships, if everyone runs around, there will be a hundred percent chaos.
The day before yesterday, two boats actually collided, and one of them was overturned. Fortunately, everyone was good at water.
Before the boat capsized, he had already jumped into the sea. Apart from shivering from the cold, he was not seriously injured.
In order to prevent ship jams and collisions from happening again, Li Duoyu made a traffic map overnight.
He divided the more than 5,000 acres of kelp fields into ten areas, and each area was equipped with ten boats.
The fishing boats responsible for transporting kelp seedlings in each area go to the dock from different waterways to transport the clamped kelp seedlings.
After Li Duoyu reorganized it, his efficiency has improved a lot. In less than five days, he was almost halfway done.
If nothing goes wrong, the 5,000 acres of kelp seedlings will be completed on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.
When heading to Qixingwan Shrimp Factory, Li Duoyu checked his kelp field and hooked up the kelp rope.
Li Duoyu found that the work was done quite beautifully. Sure enough, just by raising the wages, these workers became very reliable in their work, even beyond Li Duoyu's expectations.
Everything was in accordance with his requirements. The brown ropes hanging kelp seedlings were all tied with slip knots, which could be untied with an easy pull.
That's how people are.
Everyone has a number in mind when making money, and as long as it is a little higher than the number in his mind, the other person will work very hard and make things look good.
To put it bluntly, if the money is in place, things will naturally fall into place, but it cannot be too high, otherwise the other party will think that you are being taken advantage of.
A few days ago, his neighbor Lao Hu was still cursing and almost had a conflict with the people who hung kelp seedlings for him. The reason was that he wanted to save some money and hired some relatively inexperienced workers.
As a result, the other party forgot to tie a slip knot on his kelp rope, and eventually had to hire someone to retie it. The final cost was more than what Li Duoyu paid for it.
If the kelp rope is not tied with a slip knot, it is indeed very troublesome to manage, especially when collecting kelp. Once it is found that the rope cannot be untied, the workers who collect kelp will not have so much patience. They will definitely use a knife to cut it, and they will also cut the edge. While scolding kelp farmers as idiots.
In his previous life, Li Duoyu scolded him for a whole day, and shouted: "I will never accept kelp from this family again."
In short, although kelp is the best aquatic product to cultivate, there are still many details that need to be paid attention to.
Just when Li Duoyu was planning to go to Qixing Bay, he saw his uncle Chen Dongqing in the kelp field.
He drove their unit's boat and stood on the boat smoking in a daze, waiting for Li Duoyu's fishing boat to approach.
After the whistle.
Only then did he realize that the cigarette in his hand was so frightened that he fell into the sea. When he turned around and saw Li Duoyu on the fishing boat, he started cursing on the spot.
"You're crazy. I want to scare your uncle to death."
Li Duoyu asked: "It's almost the Chinese New Year, why haven't you gone home yet? You came here to Dandan Island. Did you quarrel with my aunt again?"
Chen Dongqing rolled her eyes at him: "Can you please stop talking about it? It's like I have a home and can't go back."
The reason why Chen Dongqing came here was because of other things. During the county meeting yesterday, because of the explosion of the entire county's kelp farming industry, the county committee specially awarded him an "Advanced Worker" certificate.
He came here just to see how spectacular this thousands-acre kelp field would be after hanging the kelp seedlings.
The reason why he was in a daze just now was that time passed really fast. Six years ago, he was still studying Duxia Miao with his senior brother Lei Youshan.
Five years ago, he was so confident that he persuaded Uncle Tai from his village to carry out kelp farming. However, the farming failed, causing Uncle Tai to owe a lot of debt.
In those two years, he didn't even dare to go to Chenjiacun, and rarely even went back to Dandan Island, until his nephew, who was involved in smuggling, suddenly came to him and said he wanted to engage in kelp farming.
It was from that time that everything changed. Chen Dongqing felt as if he was caught in a huge gear, and someone kept pushing him forward.
Seeing the endless kelp field in front of him, Chen Dongqing couldn't help but sigh: "If you have time, come and have a few sips with your uncle."
Li Duoyu wanted to say that he was not free, but his uncle was really simple. Once he wanted to drink, he would have trouble.
"If you want to drink, do you want to go to Lao Yang's shop?"
Chen Dongqing thought for a while, and for some reason, he especially wanted to eat at Lao Chen's Fried Restaurant at Qingkou Wharf. Maybe that's where he started.
"Everyone there is familiar. It's boring. Let's go to Lao Chen's Fried Shop."
"Okay."
Li Duoyu took out his second brother, made a call to the shrimp farm, gave some instructions, and then sailed towards Qingkou Pier.
After arriving at Qingkou Pier, Li Duoyu found that the business here was average, and many fishmongers were sitting there in a daze.
And Lao Zhang, who had bought Li Duoyu's big perch slipper and gave him a piece of ginseng as a gift, saw Li Duoyu and said with a smile: "Rare guest, rare guest, Director Li, why do you have time to come to our Qingkou restaurant?" "The dock." (End of chapter)
