In 1983, a small island started from a large farmer

Over on Lu Island.

Haixin Group learned that Li Duoyu’s prawns actually require a deposit before purchase.

Each of their faces was very dark.

You may not make money, but watching others make money is really more painful than losing money yourself.

Because the shrimp fry introduced by Du Haijun had problems, it not only caused heavy losses, but also led to serious impacts.

The internal team of Haixin Group was reorganized, and it was decided to nominally remove Du Haijun and Sun Xiangdong from their positions. Currently, Zhang Tianfu and Zhou Jianfeng are in charge of these positions.

But they still refuse to admit that they introduced the shrimp virus, and they point all the blame at overseas provinces.

It was said that after the overseas provinces discharged diseased shrimps into the ponds, the shrimp plague contaminated the entire sea area, and they were also victims.

Finally, Hai Xin secretly contacted the two ringleaders and gave them enough bribes. Then, the shrimp farmers who were causing trouble immediately split up and soon dispersed.

Du Haijun and Sun Xiangdong did attend the shareholders' meeting, but they did not speak this time.

The speaker was Zhang Tianfu, who represented all shareholders.

"What do you think the retail price of the prawns raised by Li Duoyu will be during the Chinese New Year?"

"About fifteen dollars."

"I've seen his prawns, they are of very good quality, very large and very beautiful. If they are shipped to the mainland and sold, they could be sold for 20 yuan."

Zhang Tianfu said with emotion: "If we can survive this shrimp plague, Haixin would have been able to make a living."

"Director Zhou, you have to work hard this year."

After hearing this, Du Haijun couldn't help but twitch his mouth. It was obvious that these words were meant for him.

But what made him even more angry was that Zhang Tianfu actually said to him:

"After the majority of shareholders agreed, we at Haixin decided to cooperate with Minlong Company. We will purchase all our shrimp fry and feed from Minlong Company in the future."

Du Haijun's face was terribly gloomy. As the largest shareholder, he was not among the majority of shareholders.

Judging from the situation, these old foxes are no longer willing to discuss anything with him, so there is not much point for him to continue staying in Haixin.

The shareholders' meeting hadn't even ended yet when Du Haijun left the meeting, and Sun Xiangdong followed him.

In the office, Du Haijun was in no mood to smoke the cigar. Instead, he looked at Sun Xiangdong and said, "Is it worth it? If you follow me, you will lose your position as general manager."

Sun Xiangdong smiled and said, "To President Du, those people are just like clowns. Compared with the big things that President Du wants to do, I think President Du will not take the small money from shrimp farming seriously."

Du Haijun smiled and said, "Finally, there is someone who understands. The mainland's economy is going to change. We have to take advantage of these two years to make some money."

After hearing this, Sun Xiangdong was slightly stunned. He had been hearing such news recently, but he still didn't understand what was going on.

Du Haijun asked: "Has the Sansha Cannery already started production?"

"It has already started. We are purchasing a large amount of hairtail recently."

"We tried to get a batch out before the end of last year. Hong Kong has already started anti-dumping. By then, the higher the tariff, the more money we will make."

Sun Xiangdong smiled and said, "I understand."

After following Du Haijun for a while, Sun Xiangdong finally understood what this Hong Kong man did.

His main business was not shrimp farming at all. What he did was smuggling cheap domestic goods to Hong Kong Island.

However, this kind of smuggling is strictly prohibited in the country because his practices cannot bring any foreign exchange income to the mainland.

But the profit margin is terribly high. For example, the retail price of canned hairtail here is only about RMB 1.5, and the cost is less than 50 cents.

But the retail price in Hong Kong Island is 15 Hong Kong dollars, which is about 8 yuan.

It's simply huge profits. No wonder Du Haijun looks down on shrimp farming, because if he can make just one order, he probably won't make that much money even if he raises shrimp for four or five years.

It was only at this time that Sun Xiangdong realized that all the businesses prohibited by the law were highly profitable.

No wonder some people say: The brave will die of overeating and the timid will die of starvation.

During the period before the kelp was caught, many fishermen on Dandan Island went to the open sea to catch hairtail.

The period around the winter solstice is the best time for hairtail and also the time when the production is the highest.

Hairtail is one of the four major marine fishes.

The output has always been very high, which also means that the price is not very expensive, around one or two cents in previous years.

But this year, the Sansha Cannery seems to have a huge demand, and the purchase price has been directly raised to 40 cents.

Even my uncle and third uncle were very tempted by the price, as they had originally planned to go fishing for swordfish.

Seeing that the price of hairtail was so good this year, we immediately canceled our original plan to catch mackerel and sailed to the sea area where hairtail appeared.

The fishermen on Dandan Island also all took their hooks and lanterns and went to the sea where cuttlefish appeared to fish for them.

Hairtails are active at night, so fishing at night is very efficient. If you are lucky, you can even see hairtails biting one another.

And this is true. Li Duoyu has heard some related proverbs since he was a child.

White fish are caught by the tails, and they bite each other's tails.

What else? There are eighteen red hairtails in a row.

Hairtail fish are very ferocious in the sea. When they appear in groups, sea wolves will probably run away when they see them.

In the sea areas where cutlassfish hunt, it is often difficult to find other fish species, as most of them are eaten by them.

Once there is not enough food, cutlassfish will resort to cannibalism. When these fishermen kill cutlassfish, they often find some small cutlassfish in their stomachs.

It is precisely because of this habit that once the cutlassfish finds that its own kind is in danger, it will not try to help.

Instead, they will take advantage of your misfortune to kill you and bite off the tails of their own kind. But they didn't expect that they all fell into the trap of the fisherman.

However, Li Duoyu never saw a situation in later generations where one hook could be used to catch several cutlass fish.

I heard from experts that it seems that because the number of cutlassfish has decreased, the competition for food is not as fierce, and they are not as aggressive towards their own kind.

When the fishermen on Dandan Island went to catch hairtail, Li Duoyu did not participate in this hairtail fishing event.

But he found it a little strange that Li Duoyu knew about the Sansha Aquatic Canning Factory.

When I went to Hong Kong Island before, I chatted with a key member of their cannery. I think his name was Chen Youze.

Normally speaking, if the price of hairtail fish increased to 30 cents, it was understandable, but if it increased to 40 cents, then something was wrong.

After all, the Sansha seafood canning factory is state-owned, so its distribution channel naturally goes through the supply and marketing cooperative.

But the listed price of canned hairtail fish is only one dollar. If he buys it at this price, plus the seasoning, packaging, transportation and labor costs, it is simply doing charity.

Unless it is a foreign trade order, but recently he has been very familiar with the Foreign Trade Bureau, and the cannery has not had any foreign trade orders recently.

There always seems to be something wrong here.

Li Duoyu, who couldn't figure it out, stopped thinking about it because he was very busy in the short term.

Because the batch of bamboo products from Dazhu Village is about to be exported, but the packaging problem has not been solved yet.

According to the product requirements of the island country, these bamboo products cannot be packaged naked. They must have outer packaging and the specifications and models must be printed on them.

But unfortunately, the mechanical equipment of the paper mill in the county broke down, and this made Brother Ou so anxious that he couldn't sleep for two nights.

All the things were produced, but he didn't expect that they would get stuck on the outer packaging. If he had known that the Japanese were so serious about it, he would have produced cartons in advance.

Fortunately, Li Duoyu met the director of Rongcheng Paper Mill when he went to Hong Kong Island to attend a social gathering last time.

After treating the other party to a drink.

Factory Director Cheng simply waved his hand and gave priority to the production of their cartons.

With the help of Li Duoyu, the entire foreign trade export process went very smoothly.

Li Duoyu had already calculated that if this foreign trade order could be successful, he, as the middleman, could earn at least nearly 100,000 yuan.

Although Brother Ou took the lion's share, after all, he was the one who paid for the labor and materials. After deducting the costs, he could probably earn around 70,000 yuan.

But for him, 70,000 is already a huge sum of money, and he earns it in foreign currency. By the time he gets all the subsidies, he can get about 100,000.

He has never made so much money in all these years since the reform and opening up.

Unexpectedly, he made so much money in just half a year. This made him determined to follow Li Duoyu in the future.

They even planned to send Miaomiao directly to Dandan Island. It would be best if they could have an arranged marriage.

After coming out of customs, Brother Ou originally wanted to treat Li Duoyu to a big meal, but at this moment, the second brother on Li Duoyu's waist made a loud noise.

Looking at the thing in Li Duoyu's hand, Brother Ou was so envious. His family also had a TV, and this thing often appeared in Hong Kong movies.

Unfortunately, their Dazhu Village is full of mountains, and Duoyu said that this thing doesn't work very well in mountainous areas, otherwise he really wants to buy one.

After the call was connected, Chen Xiaoyan's voice was heard.

"Director Li, three guests have come to Qixing Bay. They said they want to see you. One of them said he is your classmate, He Gang, from the Sharp Research Institute.

The other two are doing research on yellow croaker farming. One of them is Liu Jiafu. He said he plans to come and cooperate with us. Do you have time now?"

Li Duoyu hasn't seen He Gang for a long time. He was also a member of dormitory 413. Now all four people in the dormitory are very successful.

Chen Dongqing has already been designated as the successor to their county's Fisheries Research Institute.

This He Gang is also very capable. He specializes in the research of laver cultivation, and it is said that he is making great progress now.

What surprised Li Duoyu the most was the man named Liu Jiafu.

This person may not be very famous now, but in the future, in the breeding industry, Liu Jiafu is definitely a big shot, and even has the reputation of being the father of cucumber fish.

"Okay, tell them to wait for me, I'll be there soon."

After Li Duoyu hung up the phone, he quickly said, "Brother Ou, I have a guest. Let's make an appointment another day."

"Okay, I'll definitely show you my favor next time."

"That is required."

Li Duoyu drove the Crown back to the shrimp farm, and the guests were already waiting for him.

When He Gang saw Li Duoyu's Crown, he couldn't help but sigh: "I always feel that you have made all the money we earned from breeding."

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

"Nonsense, how about I exchange my kelp farming technology with you for my laver farming technology?"

He Gang rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't I just ask Dong Qing directly? If I give you the laver farming technology, then the farmers in our county probably won't be able to beat you."

Li Duoyu glanced at the two older brothers beside He Gang and found that they were dressed quite simply.

One person's Liberation shoes had a hole in them, so he could definitely be described as "poor".

He Gang hurriedly said, "This is the old section chief of our institute, Liu Jiafu, who is now specializing in large yellow croaker breeding research."

"Hello, Chief Liu."

Li Duoyu took the initiative to shake hands.

"This is technician Chen Jiaxiang, an old colleague from the institute. He is now doing research with Section Chief Liu."

When Li Duoyu saw that one of them was holding a brown paper document bag, he realized that these people were not there to drink tea, but had something to discuss with him.

"Let's go to the factory and make some tea first."

After Li Duoyu arrived, Lei Youshan from the shrimp farm, his uncle Chen Dongqing, and teacher Lin Peng also came.

After everyone sat down and drank some tea, the young man named Chen Jiaxiang handed the folder to He Gang.

Let him speak up.

He Gang: "Duoyu, Chief Liu and his team have achieved good results in breeding yellow croaker. Would you like to take a look?"

“Can yellow croaker be farmed now?”

Li Duoyu pretended to be surprised: "If yellow croaker can be farmed, then you will be rich."

He Gang frowned awkwardly: "Chief Liu and his team have only achieved temporary success. I suggest you take a look at the document first."

Li Duoyu opened the folder, which was full of documents and photos, including photos of yellow croaker seedlings, fish eggs, and photos of the experimental cultivation of yellow croaker.

There are also some introductory documents related to yellow croaker farming.

Li Duoyu read it carefully for a while, then gave the document to Lei Youshan and Chen Dongqing, and then asked:

"There is too much information here, and I can't read it all at once. Chief Liu, I just want to ask, how long do we need to raise the yellow croaker we are currently breeding?"

Liu Jiafu said with a little embarrassment: "After being domesticated, the yellow croaker's appetite is not particularly high. It will take at least two years to raise it to more than one kilogram."

When they heard that it would take two years to raise the animal, Lei Youshan, Chen Dongqing, and Lin Peng were all very surprised.

The impact of this year's typhoon is still fresh in everyone's mind, especially for those of us who are engaged in breeding.

For the past six months, they have felt that the risks are very high, and most people choose to raise fish in the winter when there are no typhoons, and dare not raise them in the summer at all.

When Section Chief Liu started talking about two years, Chen Dongqing immediately understood the purpose of He Gang bringing them to find Li Duoyu.

It is obvious that they are here to ask for research funds.

The organization will definitely not approve a project with such a big risk. If it were him, he would definitely not agree. It will take two years to raise a pig to more than one kilogram. What's the point of raising it? I don't even know how much money the feed will cost.

But what they didn't expect was that their boss Li Duoyu was actually very interested in this yellow croaker project and made a decision on the spot:

"That's amazing. They can raise more than one kilogram in two years. I think we can definitely cooperate on this yellow croaker project."
