Vol 3 Chapter 471: Toss the Holy Grail and decide the winner

 After the new team is assembled.

Li Duoyu began to arrange work for next year. In fact, Minlong Company is far more than just them.

 His father's place also has a small team that specializes in kelp and oysters, but Li Duoyu has no intention of bringing his father to the meeting.

If my son is in a meeting with me and I suddenly say something back, then his son has no dignity to speak of, so he can't just fire me on the spot.

In order to avoid this embarrassing situation, the best way is not to call him "I" during serious meetings.

 When summarizing work.

In addition to talking about some of the mistakes he made this year, Li Duoyu also praised the employees for many things. However, in this kind of meeting, the most important thing is of course the red envelopes.

 Li Duoyu, who used to work for people, knows very well that if there is no year-end bonus, who the **** will listen to your summary at the end of the year.

Perhaps I was too lazy to write a resignation letter. I just found an excuse in the spring and said I couldn't come. I didn't want to hand over the work. In fact, I had already reported to other companies.

 In front of the three new employees, Li Duoyu gave each of the three outstanding employees this year a thick stack of solidarity awards.

When giving out the year-end bonus, Li Duoyu made a point of saying: "It's good if everyone knows about it. Don't ever tell anyone about this kind of thing. If Xiaoying finds out, she will definitely talk about me."

Several employees present all nodded, but Li Duoyu knew very well how they could hold back on saying something like this.

Let’s not talk about Qingfeng, Shitou and Xiaojin. Xiaochao suddenly took so much money back. Didn’t Liu Xiaolan ask?

 It’s a pity that if the second sister-in-law had not left, she would also have had a share of this year’s year-end bonus.

 She went to the Haixin eel factory and her salary seemed to have doubled, but in fact she worked as both a cow and a horse, and really didn't earn much.

 The second brother earned much more than her this year, and he didn't have to be as tired as her at all.

However, Li Duoyu has long been used to it. The second sister-in-law was like this in her previous life, and life was a process of constantly hitting walls.

　　I have done everything perfect and Amway, but in the end, all the hard-earned money I finally saved was taken away by Huitou.

According to the words of the older generation, this person’s “karma fire” is very heavy and keeps burning underneath.

But Li Duoyu knew very well that the second sister-in-law was too self-righteous and always felt that she was smarter than others.

She always feels that she can take advantage of the capitalists, but in fact, it is all a trap set by the capitalists for people like her.

Of course, in addition to his second sister-in-law, Li Duoyu also gave his father a big year-end bonus, but it was not in cash, but in ten acres of kelp fields.

Li Duoyu knew very well that no matter whether he gave him money or gave money to his mother-in-law, they would definitely not take it.

Even if he accepts it, he will give it to Xiao Tutu in the form of a red envelope as lucky money, or he will try to use the money to you.

 The elders who are more sensible will generally not use the money given to them by a child to give to other children.

 Because this money is the child's intention. It is used to buy good food, good clothes, and enjoyment for the elders. It cannot be spent casually.

If the elders really give this money to other children, it will often lead to deeper family conflicts.

 But in reality, vampire families and demons are quite common.

 Perhaps because I experienced the eldest brother running away from home, my parents were particularly careful when dealing with these matters.

The red envelopes Li Duoyu gave them last year have all turned into various meals on the table this year.

 In the past, I only bought pork once a week at most. This year, I eat pork almost every other day. Little Fatty has gained more than ten kilograms this year.

 The best way to give money to Dad is to directly give him fields or land and let him manage the farming by himself.

 Lao Li can not only distribute the money earned in this way freely, but also does not have to worry about whether he and Xiaoying have any objections.

 In the conference room.

 Li Duoyu began to arrange the specific work after next spring. Chen Wenchao and his brother-in-law were all holding soft-shell Shanghai brand notepads in their hands, and they were all taking work notes seriously.

The three new young people were a little embarrassed because no one reminded them to get their diaries when they arrived.

"Everyone, please remember carefully that when we start spring, the first thing after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is to start fishing for eel fry. Xiaochao and Qingfeng are responsible for this. The goal is to catch 200,000 eels within half a month. You can also purchase it directly. The specific price can be discussed with my second brother. "

“Brother-in-law, you and Xiaojin will be responsible for collecting red worms this time.”

“Second brother, you should keep the daily records of the eel factory as usual. Another thing is that I rented a large piece of land in Qixing Bay.

We may not use it immediately next year, but we must encircle the land. When the time comes, it will be occupied by nearby villagers. If land disputes arise, it will be very troublesome to deal with. You and I will discuss this matter. Let's take responsibility together. "

 Second brother Li Yaoguo’s notepad is full of writing, and the fonts are also very beautiful.

 Chen Wenchao's performance has also improved. He has attended night school for the past two years and has learned a lot of words.

 That's the thing about people. Once you don't learn it when you are a child, it is very difficult to learn it when you grow up. Chen Wenchao's notepad still has many "abstract symbols" that even Li Duoyu can't understand.

 After seeing those symbols, Li Duoyu couldn't help but think about a question.

From a certain point of view, Xiaochao might be a genius. If he were placed in prehistory, the group of archaeologists who studied his brain would probably not know what these symbols meant.

 In fact, there are still many details that Li Duoyu has not arranged yet. He plans to handle them personally.

Of course, there are also the future plans of Minlong Company, etc. Now his Minlong Company can make money, and the brand can be considered to be well-established.

 But the effect is not very obvious. Now Dandan Island is relatively famous, but it is due to the large-scale cultivation of kelp.

 When it comes to kelp, everyone does not immediately think of Dandan Island, let alone Minlong food.

Now the reputation of Dandan Island outside has changed. Which village in Shangfeng Town is the richest? It must be Xiasha Village.

Li Duoyu is very clear that Minlong Food currently lacks a key product that can penetrate into people's lives.

For example, Rongcheng's Luoxingta MSG, Mintian fish sauce, etc., it is simple but also the most difficult to make people remember that they need rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

Because these people's livelihood enterprises are generally run by state-owned enterprises, if you want to get a share of the pie, there are currently only two ways, to establish a competing product of the same type, or to go through upper-level channels and find a way to privatize it.

However, Li Duoyu is not in a hurry to consider this matter. The most important thing now is primitive accumulation, which includes assets, connections and channels, as well as talents.

 In addition to doing a good job in breeding this year, what Li Duoyu wants to do most is to plan the new wharf.

At about the end of their meeting, Zhang Jinsha from the village committee came over and said, "Duoyu, you have to go there quickly. The chairman of the board of directors from Chenjia Village is also here. Miao Zhu asked you to go over and throw the Holy Grail together."

 “Okay, I’ll come right away.”

 Chen Wenchao and the others must also go and watch. After all, the temple fair is about to start again, and maybe Mazu Empress will start her "security patrol" again. This is a grand event for the entire Dandan Island.

When Li Duoyu arrived at the Tianhou Palace, almost everyone with dignity and seniority on the island came, especially the council of Chenjia Village. They all wore black hats and uniform blue robes.

When Li Duoyu arrived, Miao Zhu was holding two half-moon-shaped red chalices, chanting words that even the locals could not understand, and asking for instructions from Mazu.

 The person to be selected this time is the "head family", that is, the person in charge of the "incense invitation" and "security patrol". Now that we have reached this point, it is basically certain that next year’s Mazu security patrol will be held 100%, and this time it is very special that it is co-organized by two villages.

After finishing the temple blessing, he looked around and saw Li Duoyu coming. He first handed the Holy Grail to Chen Yuanshan, the chairman of the Chenjia Village Council who was already kneeling on the futon.

 “Start throwing the chalice.”

Holding the Holy Grail, Chen Yuanshan first bowed to Mazu three times, then made three circles with the Holy Grail, and then threw the Holy Grail.

 After the two Holy Grails landed on the ground, both facing backwards, Miaozhu shouted: "Laughing cups."

 After seeing that it was a laughing cup, everyone in the Chenjia Village Council became nervous. The laughing cup meant that the **** was still a little hesitant and could not make up his mind.

 Throwing the Holy Grail, under normal circumstances, is done three times. The best case is that all three times are "Holy Grails", which shows that the **** is very satisfied with what you ask for instructions and agrees with you to do it.

 If not, the first two times can be "laughing cup", but the last time must be "holy cup". This means that although the **** hesitated, he finally agreed.

 But if the first one is the "Yin Cup", then the next two must all be Holy Grails.

 Because when throwing the Holy Grail, it may be affected by the surrounding environment and cause deviations, so two Holy Grails in a row can offset the previous Yin Cup.

Miao Zhu picked up the Holy Grail, handed it to Chen Yuanshan again, and started throwing the Holy Grail for the second time.

Because he laughed at the cup for the first time, the president of the council was very nervous. He kept muttering something in his mouth, and then he threw the Holy Grail high.

 After landing.

 Miao Zhu shouted: "Laughing cup."

 “Come on, the third time.”

Everyone in Chenjiacun became nervous and did not dare to breathe. For the last time, Chen Yuanshan shook his hand very slowly and slowly threw it out.

This time the Holy Grail is exactly the same as the positive and the negative.

 “Holy Grail.”

 After seeing this result, everyone in the Chenjia Village Council smiled, two smiles and one saint, which meant that Mazu Empress finally agreed.

 But he was not the only one who came to throw the Holy Grail today. There were four representatives from the two villages. The representative of Chenjiacun was their council president and village party secretary Chen Bian.

 The representatives of Xiasha Village are Li Duoyu and Chen Huotan, a very senior elder in the village.

This elder is already eighty years old. Li Duoyu doesn't know him very well, but people of his father's generation respect him very much.

 Because in that era of war and chaos, there were many pirates and military bandits. It was he who led a group of people who secured Dandan Island.

He was the second person to throw the Holy Grail. Due to his seniority, Li Duoyu was the last one to throw the Holy Grail.

 Similarly throw three times in a row.

 What everyone didn’t expect was that they still had two smiles and one saint, and they directly tied with the chairman of the council of Chenjiacun.

　　If next, Li Duoyu and Chen Bian both fail to throw the Holy Grail.

Then the two of them must throw the Holy Grail again until the "gods" decide who will be the leader.

 What was surprising was that the village party secretary of Chenjiacun actually threw the "yin cup" three times in a row.

The scene was quite embarrassing, and the people in the Chenjia Village Council were also dumbfounded. Three "Yin Cups" meant that he was denied by the gods, and he was not even qualified to be the "Deputy Head of the Household".

Now it's Li Duoyu's turn. In fact, he doesn't particularly want to be the "head", but if the two villages jointly organize it.

It would be best if you can win over it. After all, this thing is quite metaphysical, and some people from the older generation say that it has something to do with "village luck."

Since it is a matter related to the interests of the village, it is natural to work hard to fight for it.

After Li Duoyu took the Holy Grail, he bowed devoutly three times, and then threw the Holy Grail out. Unexpectedly, the first cup was also a "laughing cup".

 See this scene.

The people in the Chenjia Village Council finally lost their hungriness. What they feared most was that Li Duoyu was the "Holy Grail" from the beginning.

Li Duoyu threw the Holy Grail relatively quickly, but after the second cup came out, everyone present became nervous.

 Because it is the "Holy Grail" directly.

When Li Duoyu was about to throw the Holy Grail for the third time, the onlookers from Xiasha Village, regardless of age or sex, all shouted together: "Holy Grail."

 “Holy Grail.”

 “Holy Grail.”

Everyone present was very nervous and quickly looked at Li Duoyu’s last cup to see what it was.

Li Duoyu held the Holy Grail, spun it three times, and then threw it out. One side quickly landed on the ground with a flat surface facing upwards.

 But the other cup actually started to spin. Under normal circumstances, most of the cups that can spin are flat and face upward, so it is most likely the Holy Grail.

 It should also be two smiles and one saint.

 Next, the three of them have to throw the Holy Grail again. If it is two to one, Xiasha Village still has a better chance of winning.

What everyone didn't expect was that the rotating Holy Grail directly hit the "divine pillar", and the entire cup stood up. When it stopped, it became convex.

Even Li Duoyu himself didn't expect this unexpected result, but he really didn't know whether it counted after the Holy Grail hit the pillar.

 “Holy Grail.”

With the shouts of the temple blessings, the villagers of Xiasha Village who were watching all became excited.

 “Village director, awesome.”

Someone even whistled, and a man in his thirties shouted directly: "Village director, I love you."

The people in Chenjiacun looked a little ugly now, but they could accept it if Li Duoyu was the head of the family.

 After all, this young man has helped their village a lot this year. It can only be said that the "gods" are really good at judging people, and he is indeed qualified to be the leader.

 After throwing the Holy Grail.

Li Duoyu became the head of this "invitation for incense" and "inspection of security", while Chen Yuanshan and Chen Huotan were the deputy heads. (End of chapter)
