In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

After calling Li Xiaorong, Li Duoyu took out a thick stack of business cards and called them one by one.

The first person he called directly was the owner of the sugar factory, because he was the last business card Li Duoyu received during this period, so when he took it out, he was naturally the first one.

"Boss Lin, I'm Li Duoyu from Dandan Island~"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the line: "Director Li, you finally installed the phone."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "This is my phone number. Please keep it for me, Boss Lin."

"Okay, I'll take notes, and we'll get together someday and have dinner together."

"Excuse me, is Director Zhang here?"

"Who are you?"

"I am Li Duoyu from Dandan Island."

"The one who grows kelp, sorry, Director Zhang is out on business."

Li Duoyu was just like a telephone salesman, calling out business cards one by one and telling the other party his phone number.

After Li Duoyu played a round.

I find it really difficult to make phone calls these days, and more than half of the phone numbers are unreachable.

Finally, Li Duoyu tried to make an international long-distance call, but this was even more difficult to get through.

Li Duoyu opened the phone book that Section Chief Huang gave him and dialed a number. In those days, it was difficult to make an international call.

You must go through an international operator before you can make calls abroad.

"Hello, this is the international station. May I know where to call?"

"North Point, Hong Kong Island, the phone number is"

"Okay, I'll transfer you."

Zhou Xiaoying was very nervous and excited. After the phone was installed, she couldn't wait to chat with her grandmother.

But it took a long time.

The voice coming from the other end of the phone was not grandma's, but the voice of the operator just now.

"Sorry, sir, the number you dialed was not connected. Please call again next time."

After saying that, the other party seemed to be very busy and hung up the phone directly.

Li Duoyu, who was holding the microphone, was stunned for a moment, and then comforted Zhou Xiaoying who was standing beside him: "It's okay, we have a phone, you can call anytime you want, and you will always get through."

Zhou Xiaoying said distressedly: "It's expensive to make a phone call. This kind of long-distance call should be even more expensive."

Li Duoyu hummed:

"What are you afraid of? It's only the price of one eel if it dies in a minute. There are so many eels in our pond. You can even chat with your grandma on the phone."

Zhou Xiaoying frowned, quite puzzled: "Telephone, what is this?"

"Haha, this is it."

Li Duoyu said casually, "It means that you have been on the phone for a long time and the phone is so hot that you can use it to make porridge."

Zhou Xiaoying was speechless and said, "What a mess. Although we have made some money, we can't be too extravagant or wasteful. After all, we still owe the bank a large sum of money."

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying screaming seriously.

Li Duoyu quickly admitted his mistake and said, "Yes, my wife taught me the right thing."

Seeing Li Duoyu admit his mistake on the spot, Zhou Xiaoying was stunned: "No, why do you sound so perfunctory? I am serious about this. We really can't be so extravagant."

In her previous life, Xiaoying did not spend so much time with A Niang, but in this life, Li Duoyu felt that Xiaoying and A Niang were becoming more and more alike.

Seeing that she still wanted to continue talking.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Li Duoyu sealed her mouth without warning.

Zhou Xiaoying twisted Li Duoyu's waist hard, her face flushed with shame: "This is the factory, not home."

"Then go home and continue."

Zhou Xiaoying sighed helplessly: "Hurry up and do your work."

Women are more delicate in their thoughts.

It's normal to mumble.

But as long as we take practical action and shut her mouth, she will stop reciting.

This time the call went through smoothly. Li Duoyu greeted the other party directly in Japanese, and the other party replied enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, long time no see."

Li Duoyu called suddenly. The eel buyer, Norio Oda, was very happy and said that the live fish boat was ready and would set off immediately when the time came and would ensure arrival on time.

At the same time, he also talked about President Kawai Kojima, saying that the president missed the time they spent fishing together and the record of tuna he caught, which has not been broken to this day.

A blink of an eye.

The day of the groundbreaking ceremony has arrived.

Many villagers from Xiasha Village spontaneously went to the shrimp farm to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

It was early in the morning, and it was still dark.

Li Duoyu was dragged by his mother to the Tianhou Temple to worship, and even made a big pig head, which was very formal.

Speaking of which, if Li Duoyu hadn’t thought it was unnecessary, the older generation on the island would have wanted to invite Mazu to attend the opening ceremony of his shrimp farm.

Li Duoyu thought that it was not impossible. After all, Mazu was invited to the launching ceremony of fishing boats, and seafood farming should also be under the jurisdiction of Mazu. There was no problem at all.

It’s a pity that a big leader came today. In a sense, all of them are atheists.

If they really wanted to invite Mazu over, they would not be able to please either side, so Li Duoyu rejected the proposal and decided to proceed with caution.

As the time for shipping the eels was approaching, Li Yaoguo and Chen Wenchao had to stay behind to guard the eel factory on the opening day.

Li Duoyu invited Lao Li to the opening ceremony. After all, he was the boss of the shrimp farm, and Lao Li was the boss's boss.

But he is very stubborn.

He refused to go no matter what and insisted on staying to help him look after the eel factory, and instead started to educate Li Duoyu.

"You have to prioritize things. If everyone leaves, won't that just be the right time for someone to poison your eel factory?"

As it happened that she was in the fifth grade and was about to take graduation exams these days, Zhou Xiaoying did not attend the opening ceremony.

Old Li didn't go, Xiaoying didn't go, and naturally A'niang wouldn't go either. As a result, on the day of the opening ceremony, only Li Duoyu came to his family.

However, it was right for them not to come. This groundbreaking ceremony was really busy.

Originally, Li Duoyu only planned to hold a simple opening ceremony, but he didn't expect that the big boss would confirm to come.

The specifications were improved on the spot.

The town and the county immediately became nervous.

These two days, they even listed his opening ceremony as the most important thing, and every detail had to be taken into consideration.

However, these tedious things are really not Li Duoyu's strong point. Even Chen Jianghe, who has worked in the county, feels a headache.

How should the words on the banner be written, how many seats should be placed on the podium, and how should the names of the guests be labeled?

Left or right?

Fortunately, the county had long guessed that Li Duoyu might not be able to handle it, so two days before the ceremony, they specially transferred two female comrades who were usually in charge of various ceremonies to come and temporarily form a conference affairs group to ensure the smooth progress of the groundbreaking ceremony.

And Li Duoyu actually knew one of them, who was Chen Jianghe’s girlfriend, Zhang Xiuqin.
