Vol 2 Chapter 370: Of course you need foreign exchange coupons

Chapter 370 Of course we need foreign exchange coupons

 After the two parties have reached an agreement.

 The next step is to catch the eels in the pond.

All employees of Minlong Food, including their relatives and kelp farmers, all took the initiative to help Li Duoyu on this day.

Li Duoyu first used feed to gather the eels, and then everyone went directly to the net to catch the eels that came to eat the bait.

  But this method cannot catch all the eels in the entire fish pond.

Li Duoyu could only ask Chen Wenchao to drain the pond water, and the villagers who came to help saw news reporters and photographers taking pictures.

  Everyone had their trouser legs rolled up, some were holding fishing nets, and some were holding dustpans to catch fish, working hard to catch fish.

 Seeing them working so hard, Lao Li frowned and said: "You fish it out gently, the dustpan is very sharp, don't scratch the eel skin."

“Also, who is that? Don’t run in the pond, otherwise you will trample the eel to death.”

 The second brother Li Yaoguo, as well as fishmongers such as Uncle Zhuang and Old Man Mi, who are better at arithmetic, are responsible for counting the number and weight of eels.

 The weighed eels were all put into large wooden barrels and moved to Uncle San's trawler by manpower, and finally transported to the live fish warehouse of the big ship.

 The entire process of catching and transporting was very time-consuming. After four hours of catching, it was already dark, and only about 20,000 eels were caught, with more than half of the eels still to be caught.

Because the generator on Dandan Island broke down, when it got dark, there were no lights at the pier, only a few bonfires.

The county leaders were just going through the motions. After taking group photos and important news photos, they exchanged greetings with reporters and then returned to the county seat first.

Wu Yuping also backed down because the accommodation conditions on Dandan Island were so poor.

"Duoyu, I'm going back first. I'll come back tomorrow morning. You can hold the people down for me first. If I don't come here early tomorrow morning, they'll all run away."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It's not easy to keep people alive. I'll catch them slowly and make sure I catch all the eels tomorrow morning."

“Young boy, why are there so many crooked ways?”

 “The main thing is that the leader teaches well.”

"I didn't teach you, don't throw dirty water on me."

Li Duoyu smiled and said that he was really lucky. There were many noble people helping him along the way.

 This reminded Li Duoyu of what some old people said in his previous life:

As long as you take the right path, the road will become wider and wider, but if you take the evil path, there will naturally be monsters and monsters around you.

Li Duoyu and the others took a rest in the middle of the night, and at dawn the next day, everyone continued to help catch eels.

The next day, the county leaders did not come. Only the leaders of the Fishery Bureau and the Foreign Exchange Administration Branch, the first and second leaders of Shangfeng Town, and people from the town credit union and the police station came.

 These people are the ones who really do the work.

After a brief communication yesterday, the staff of the Rongcheng Foreign Exchange Administration Branch roughly learned how much the eels from Dandan Island could be sold for.

 After returning home last night, I immediately reported it to my superiors. When the leaders of the bureau learned the amount, they were also shocked.

Today I personally carried a large iron box to Dandan Island, and also called the police station of Shangfeng Town to accompany me.

 About the same, around eight o'clock in the morning.

The 60,000 eels were finally caught, and the villagers who came to help turned into clay figures, sitting by the pond and smoking cigarettes.

 After catching the eel.

 The next step is the verification process. As an accountant, Li Yaoguo was also called by Li Duoyu to help verify the number and weight of the eels.

 The two sides confirmed several times that the total weight of 60,000 eels is 15.3 tons, and the price per ton is exactly 10,000.

The moment he heard the price, Li Yaoguo lost his mind. He had known for a long time that the price of eels was high, but he did not expect it to be so high.

In addition to eels, Li Duoyu also checked with Oda Norio and his team about the export sea belt.

Unexpectedly, the price of the first-class kelp produced on Dandan Island is not cheap, reaching one yuan per pound, which is twice the local market price.

 Li Yaoguo did a simple calculation and calculated the export price of kelp. This year, the price of kelp per mu on Dandan Island is about 400 to 500 yuan.

Li Duoyu alone has more than 150 acres of kelp, and this alone has an income of nearly 70,000 yuan.

If you add eel.

Li Yaoguo was suddenly in a daze. The fourth child was not only the richest on the island, but also probably the richest in Shangfeng Town.

Thinking about how he had belittled his wife for a pack of cigarettes that cost less than 20 cents, Li Yaoguo couldn't help but sigh. How could the gap between people be so big?

 What he didn't understand a little bit was that in the past, Duoyu would never tell him how much eels and kelp sold for. But recently, he found that the fourth child was planning to make money for himself.

The blue crab also called him to raise it together, and the core of the account also made him participate. Seeing the situation, the fourth child should let go of his wishes to him.

Li Yaoguo also knows that he has no ambition, but his lack of ambition does not mean that he is lazy. He still does his duty very clearly.

 In fact, he and Chen Wenchao are the same kind of people. They are both the kind of people who don’t know how to make money without anyone to guide them.

The best way out for people like them is to find someone who can make money and just hold on to them.

Moreover, Lao Si’s network of relationships has been expanded, and he is still on the right track. In the future, even if he is worse, he will not be much worse.

 After checking the eels.

Li Yaoguo said: "Duoyu, I have finished checking. If everything is okay, I will leave first."

 “Okay, I’ve been busy all night, let’s go and have a rest.”

 The next step is the checkout and payment process. Due to the large amount, the other party pays in Japanese yen, which also involves exchange rate issues. It must be converted into local currency before it can be consumed domestically.

This is also the reason why the leader of the Administration of Foreign Exchange came in person. The director, named Jin, asked a female employee: "Xiao Jiang, what is the exchange rate with the Japanese yen."

 “1 to 85.”

After the two parties determined the exchange rate, Norio Oda took out a locked suitcase, opened it, and handed the Japanese yen that had been prepared inside to the staff of the Administration of Foreign Exchange.

The staff member named Xiao Jiang directly checked the Japanese yen and shined it with a small flashlight.

 “Leader, no problem.”

 “Then let’s start making some money.”

Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of everyone, the two female employees clicked their fingers quickly, and their speed was not inferior to that of the money counting machine.

While counting the money, Li Duoyu took a look at the live fish transport ship. There were ten rectangular live fish warehouses side by side.

Each mouth is four meters deep, two meters wide, and five meters long. Bubbles are constantly rising from the bottom of the live fish warehouse, and Li Duoyu's 60,000 eels are in these ten pools.

The boat is also equipped with two long-arm cranes. Li Duoyu really wants a boat like this, if there is such a live fish transport boat.

 He dared to breed northern panbaled abalone.

 In previous lives, through the efforts of countless scientific researchers and the summed up experience, the best way to breed abalone is to raise the north and the south mutually.

 In the summer, abalone from the southern seas are transported to the north to spend the summer.

In winter, the northern sea is too cold, and the abalone is moved to the southern sea to spend the winter. This not only ensures the survival rate of the abalone, but also allows the abalone to continue eating at a comfortable temperature.

In less than fifteen minutes, the staff counted a whole box of yen across each other twice, and then told Norio Oda the specific amount.

 When he heard the exact amount, Oda Norio was shocked.

 “Li Sang, how did they do it?”

Li Duoyu smiled and replied: "They are all the best money counters in our country."

 At present, there is no such equipment as a money counting machine in China. Counting money is a skill that is often used in competitions.

 With the help of the Foreign Exchange Administration Bureau, Li Duoyu completed the kelp and eel transaction.

Since Norio Oda wanted to transport the eels back alive, he hurriedly left Dandan Island after paying the money.

 Before leaving.

Li Duoyu gave Oda Norio a full five bottles of blue and red wine in his own name.

After the big ship left, the kelp farmers from Dandan Island gathered at the dock, holding a piece of white paper in their hands with the seal of the village committee on it.

 They are ready to receive the money.

Director Jin smiled and said: "Folks, do you plan to receive cash or foreign exchange coupons?"

Kelp farmers said in unison:

 “Of course you need foreign exchange coupons.”

 “I knew you would say that.”
