Vol 2 Chapter 353: The kelp on Dandan Island is different

 The sea breeze blows the kelp.

 Under the sunlight, the color of the kelp hanging on the bamboo frame changed. From a slightly translucent color at the beginning, it slowly turned into dark brown.

 In just four days, Li Duoyu harvested one hundred acres of kelp and dried it thoroughly.

With this big harvest of kelp, many kelp farmers don’t have enough at home, so they can only store it in the village committee’s warehouse just like last year’s Li Duoyu.

Last year when Li Duoyu was harvesting kelp, there was a typhoon. If Wang Dapao hadn't been scolded by the leader, he would not have been willing to let Li Duoyu use the warehouse.

 This time, the farmers haven’t said anything yet.

 Li Duoyu opened the warehouse early and planned a special area for them to put kelp.

This made everyone realize that it is really important to have a village cadre who can take the initiative to think about the villagers and not hold them back.

There is really too much kelp. The whole village adds up to more than 500 acres of kelp. After each acre is dried, there are two tons of dried kelp.

Even if all the warehouses managed by the village committee are used, there will not be enough space.

They can only be piled up on one side of the square, with a layer of wooden boards underneath and covered with colored plastic sheets.

 Every farmer is worshiping Mazu and praying that it won’t rain.

 As for Li Duoyu's own hundred acres of kelp, the entire eel factory was filled up, and there was not enough space, so he could only pile the cheaper kelp in his own yard.

During the four days of harvesting kelp, Li Yaoguo was as tired as a dog, but his second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua was very happy because she earned sixty yuan in these four days alone.

Although all the bones in my body were about to fall apart, I really felt very happy when I got six copies of the Great Unity.

 You can hear that there is also work of cutting kelp.

The second sister-in-law didn't hesitate and said directly to Li Duoyu: "Duoyu, I will do the work in the eel factory. Can this parting and cutting of kelp be counted as my wages?"

 Seeing the second sister-in-law working so hard.

Li Duoyu was also frightened.

 He was really afraid that his second sister-in-law's health would be too much. Although she was in good health, people with good health were the most terrifying.

 Once it falls, it really falls.

 These days, the second brother is the worst offender. Now the second sister-in-law takes him with her when she works.

The second brother, who was already hopeless, heard that the kelp had to be cut, and he really wanted to find a well and jump in directly.

At this time, many purchasers who heard about the bumper harvest of kelp came to Dandan Island to visit the kelp farmers in person.

What makes these purchasers quite depressed is that the farmers on Dandan Island seem to have the same message and have no intention of talking to them, but tell them to go to the village chief.

 Because we had previously sponsored a theatrical performance on Dandan Island for more than half a month with Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, and we had signed an agreement with Li Duoyu.

 As a direct result, Li Duoyu has to entertain many buyers who want to buy kelp every day.

 Although most of the first-class kelp has been confirmed for export, Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company has also booked a lot.

However, Li Duoyu still warmly received these acquirers. After all, these people are all potential stocks. If they are doing business now, they may not be sure who will become the big boss in the future.

 When talking to them, Li Duoyu made the same demands as he did to Xinyuan Aquatic Products and Rongcheng United Commodity Distribution Company.

You can get kelp from Dandan Island, but when selling it, the packaging must appear as Dandan Island or Minlong Food.

 What Li Duoyu didn’t expect was that he was completely overthinking it.

These dealers have no idea about brands at this stage.

As long as they can make money, they don’t mind using an extra slogan when selling things, and they are very happy to do so.

“Director Li, even if you don’t say it, we would still like to say that these kelp are yours to carry the island.”

"That's right, things from Dandan Island are selling very well now. One time I was at the market and saw a duck egg seller. No one bought it at first, but later it was said that it was the sea duck eggs from Dandan Island, and they were immediately robbed. "

 After hearing this, Li Duoyu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but if what they said was true.

The reputation of Dandan Island has been established. The next step is to let everyone know that there is Minlong Food on Dandan Island.

When the kelp was harvested on Dandan Island, other fishing villages that cultivated kelp in Shangfeng Town also harvested it.

A manager with a big belly was buying kelp in Shangqi Village. When he saw the kelp brought by the villagers, he couldn't help but sigh.

The kelp in Shangqi Village has too much sand and is full of holes.

 It is not very dry in the sun. It is estimated that it will become moldy and deteriorate if it is left for too long.

An Yuliang looked at the kelp in front of him, shook his head and sighed. Compared with the kelp purchased from Li Duoyu last year, the quality control was really far worse.

“You, the first-class ones, can only get 10 cents, the second-class ones can only get 8 cents, and the gross ones can only get 5 cents.”

Zhi Zhou, the branch secretary of Shangqi Village, turned very dark after hearing this quotation.

“Manager An, this price is different from the price Xiao Lin told us at the beginning. Director Li from Xiasha Village also said that last year he sold his kelp for just a dime.”

An Yuliang frowned and said truthfully:

“The quality of your kelp is really very different. The kelp that others have is so clean, but this kelp of yours is either broken or full of holes. There is so much sand, and the quality of this first-class kelp is not up to standard.”

Xiao Lin, who was following Manager An, also frowned. He thought he had secured a big order for the master, but he didn't expect that he had received a big thunder.

Now he finally understood why the manager valued Director Li so much and why he wanted to cooperate with him so much.

Zhi Zhou from Shangqi Village picked up the kelp and said:

 “What’s the difference?”

"They are all raised in the same sea and exposed to the same sun. How can they be so different? Manager An, you can't cheat us."

An Yuliang said helplessly: "Party Secretary Zhou, if you don't believe it, I suggest you go to Dandan Island to take a look at their kelp."

Zhou Zhiyuan frowned. Their Shangqi Village also produced more than 200 acres of kelp this year. If they can't sell it at a good price, he, the village party secretary, would be really embarrassed.

“Mr. An, what do you think, if this is not the case, first-class dishes are 11 cents, second-class dishes are 9 cents, and rough dishes are 6 cents.”

An Yuliang said: "There is no way. By then, everyone's kelp will be on the market. For products of your level, we can only reduce the price to offset sales."

“Mr. An, if you say this, it will be difficult for me, the village party secretary, to be a good person. I have already told the people in the village.”

An Yuliang said helplessly:

"Secretary Zhou, you have to be considerate of me. As we said before, the quality must meet the standard. It's not that I'm unreasonable, it's really that the quality of your kelp is too poor." Zhou Zhiyuan sighed. In fact, , before that, many kelp purchasers came to him.

 Hence, after seeing the kelp, the price offered was even lower than the manager An’s.

　　What to say, the quality is not half as good as that of Dandan Island. When he first heard this, Zhou Zhiyuan was quite unconvinced.

So I sent people to Dandan Island to buy some scattered seaweed and brought them back, only to find that the gap was quite big.

 The kelp produced on Dandan Island is indeed thicker and fatter, and its edges are quite smooth and there are no holes. It is better than them to the naked eye.

They are obviously raised according to the same method, but the ones they produce here are a bit miserable.

This made Zhou Zhiyuan feel that Li Duoyu must have mastered some core breeding techniques and was unwilling to tell everyone.

 “Okay, then that’s the price.”

Seeing Manager An's hesitant look, Zhou Zhiyuan quickly agreed, because even if they sold it at this price, they would still make a lot of money, just not as much as Dandan Island.

Seeing that Zhou Party Secretary agreed to the offer, Xiao Lin's heart was bleeding. Ever since he saw the kelp in Shangqi Village, he had been hoping that Zhou Party Secretary would not accept the offer, and it would be best for both parties to break up on bad terms.

　　I didn’t expect the other party to accept it.

Xiao Lin apologized in a low voice: "Master, I'm sorry, it was me who burdened you this time."

 An Yuliang smiled.

 “Did you learn anything this time?”

Xiao Lin thought for a while, nodded and said: "I have learned that when doing business, try to cooperate with reliable and well-behaved people. Not all business is good business."

 An Yuliang just took out a cigarette.

Xiao Lin immediately struck a match to light the master's cigarette.

An Yuliang continued: "In the future, you can observe more and see which type of people are more reliable in doing things."

Xiao Lin grinned and said:

“Of course the master is the most reliable.”

An Yuliang squinted his eyes and said: "It's useless to talk sweetly. It's you who will write the acquisition report when I go back this time. You will report the specific situation to the leader."

 Xiao Lin froze on the spot.

"Master, don't be like this. I'm really afraid of our boss. When he starts lecturing him, it's impossible to end it in the whole afternoon. He might even ask me to hold a special review meeting."

An Yuliang rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't criticize, how can I criticize you?"

 Kobayashi:.

 The third day after drying the kelp.

 An iron-hulled cargo ship of more than 40 meters was parked outside the fishing port of Dandan Island.

 The cargo ship originally wanted to dock at Dandan Island Fishing Port.

 However, since the Dandan Island Pier was built after liberation, I never expected that there would be such a large fishing boat at that time.

 The draft is not particularly deep.

Coupled with poor management of the pier in the past, fishermen often dumped oyster shells into the fishing port, causing the fishing port to become shallow again.

The largest boat in the village is currently Uncle San's trawler, which is only more than 20 meters long. It often sits in the fishing port.

If this more than 40-meter cargo ship enters the port, it may directly run aground. By then, it will be impossible to get out in less than ten days and a half.

When he first entered the port, he was immediately stopped by the fishermen at the pier. In the end, the cargo ship had to stop and anchor more than fifty meters away from the pier.

 And behind this big cargo ship.

There was also a 30-meter iron-hulled boat following, which also did not dare to enter the port and could only park outside the fishing port.

Different from the previous large ship, this 30-meter-plus iron-hulled ship is not owned by a private enterprise. There are three conspicuous characters "Fisheries Bureau" printed near the bow.

 Ever since he saw the two iron boats, Li Duoyu knew who was coming.

at the same time,

 There are also many kelp farmers gathered here at the dock. They are all very excited. They have been raising kelp for half a year and have been waiting for this moment.

Seeing that they were all poor and happy, Li Duoyu said disgustedly: "Why are you still standing there? The boss who collects kelp is here, hurry up and move the kelp over. Is it possible that the boss will come to your house to collect it in person?"

Hearing this, the kelp farmers came to their senses and went home one after another to pull the bundled kelp over on carts.

 Not a while.

 Half the pier was piled with kelp.

After the two large boats anchored, Li Duoyu hurriedly drove the fishing boat to pick them up. Otherwise, the bosses who purchased kelp would have no choice but to drift on the sea.

That one is more than 40 meters long and is printed with "Minrong 057". It is the largest cargo ship of Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company.

When Li Duoyu's fishing boat approached, Chen Yuanyu was already waiting for him on the deck of the boat.

The people on the boat this time were all familiar faces, people who had been to Dandan Island before.

 Chen Yuanyu wore relatively plain clothes and wore two white pearls as earrings. After seeing Li Duoyu, he smiled and said hello.

 “Director Li, long time no see.”

Li Duoyu smiled and nodded.

The last time I met Chen Yuanyou was four months ago. At that time, she still felt like a big girl.

 But in just four short months, Li Duoyu felt that Chen Yuan Yuan in front of him had matured a lot.

Zhao Jialu on the other boat was different. After seeing Li Duoyu, he waved his hands and shouted:

“Brother Yu, have you missed me?”

“I finally saw your fishing boat. It’s so **** good-looking. Oops, your pier is not good at drafts. Come and pick me up quickly.”

Li Duoyu smiled.

Zhao Jialu, a big boy in the courtyard, has always had a very jumpy personality, but everyone is not very disgusted with him.

 The most important thing is that he has the capital to jump. No matter how unstable he is, no one will say anything about him except his parents and wife. (End of chapter)
