Vol 3 Chapter 542: Award competition

Vol 3 Chapter 542: Award competition

These 10,000-yuan households have so many problems that Li Duoyu has dealt with them all, and they are not even planning to leave his room.

But compared to the knowledge about farming, Li Duoyu found that these people preferred to hear what he saw and heard in the island country and Hong Kong Island.

 The most frequently asked question is the salary issue.

“Is the salary in the island country really that high? You can earn 10,000 yuan a month by washing dishes?”

Li Duoyu replied: "Island countries are almost the same, but Hong Kong Island is not very clear."

“Do they really have a train that runs underground?”

Li Duoyu nodded. Maybe it was because of the lack of information. No one knew that the capital already had a subway.

An uncle asked: "Director Li, I just want to ask if girls from island countries are more beautiful. The biggest regret in my life is that I can't go to island countries, otherwise I will let them taste the power of an iron rod."

After the uncle said this, everyone laughed. Someone said: "Uncle, how old were you at that time? Did your hair grow all the way? You still have an iron rod, and you are almost an earthworm."

“Damn, I joined the battle when I was fourteen, okay? At fifteen, many people around me have had babies.”

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "They are not pretty, they are all tiger-toothed girls. If they open their mouths, be careful to bite you."

“Director Li, you have tried it before, otherwise how would you know so clearly?”

 “No, don’t talk nonsense.”

The group of people went to the back and asked more and more outrageous questions. They even asked how they sneaked across. Li Duoyu was unwilling to answer.

 In the end, the staff came to the rescue and invited these people back to their rooms.

Li Duoyu had just finished taking a shower and was about to lie down and sleep. Unexpectedly, someone came knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

Li Duoyu said angrily: "Go back, it's too late today. I'll talk to you next time when I have the chance."

 “There are many fish, it’s me.”

Li Duoyu heard the voice sounded familiar. When he opened the door, he saw a look of surprise on his face.

 “Brother Ou, why are you here?”

Ou Wusheng smiled and said: "I am also here to participate in this commendation meeting."

Li Duoyu patted his forehead, and then remembered that Brother Ou also had a household worth ten thousand yuan, so he would definitely come to the meeting.

Ou Wusheng continued: "It was too busy here just now, so I didn't come to look for you. Now there is finally no one. It's so late, so it shouldn't disturb your rest."

 “No, I didn’t go to bed that early either.”

Ou Wusheng scratched his head and took out a pack of Ganoderma lucidum from behind: "It's like this, Duoyu, I have something to ask you."

Li Duoyu quickly refused: "Take it back quickly, I don't have to be so polite."

"No, if you don't accept it, I won't ask you for advice. I'll ask someone else."

After saying these words, Li Duoyu frowned slightly and had no choice but to accept the packet of Ganoderma lucidum and give him some fish maw next time he goes to Dazhu Village.

Ou Wusheng said: "It's like this. After discussing with you the year before last, I went to build a bamboo factory. Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to let me start it. I made a lot of money last year."

 “Congratulations then.”

Ou Wusheng sighed: "But this year, I don't know why, the business has obviously become bigger, but the profit is much less than in previous years. I feel that if the scale continues to expand, I may lose money."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly: "Please speak more carefully, I can't understand you."

“It’s like this. You see, I’ve made money. There are several villages nearby this year.”

After listening to Brother Ou's words, Li Duoyu finally understood that several nearby villages had seen Brother Ou making money, so they imitated him and started a bamboo processing factory with him.

 Li Duoyu had heard from Xiaochao and Shitou that the bamboo processing factory in Ouge produced relatively simple things, such as baskets, dustpans, baskets and the like.

People from several nearby villages can also do it, so they follow suit and the competition becomes fierce.

 But Li Duoyu feels that this is not the reason why Brother Ou can’t make money. Because Brother Ou started doing business relatively early, the business is quite good. On the contrary, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and one truckload of goods needs to be shipped in two days.

 The problem is that there are more bamboo factories and the purchase price of raw materials has increased, which means bamboo has become more expensive, but these bamboo product manufacturers have rolled up.

 This phenomenon is relatively common. To put it bluntly, low-end manufacturing has rolled up. If raw materials continue to rise, the bigger the business, the more losses it may have. By then, profits will be eaten up by workers and transportation costs.

 Li Duoyu frowned and thought for a while. This is a relatively common situation. I don’t know how many such cases I have watched while watching short videos in my previous life.

 Li Duoyu feels that this kind of thing is relatively easy to deal with in this era, and the development potential of bamboo products is still quite large.

  Bamboo chopsticks can be produced. Summer is coming, and bamboo mats are also in great demand. They can even be used to make high-end mahjong mats.

 In addition to these, bamboo products are also very suitable for export. Islanders are quite fond of bamboo products.

At that time, you can take some samples to the islander who purchased the eels to see if there are any sales channels. If possible, Li Duoyu would also like to invest in some.

After listening to this, Li Duoyu nodded seriously and said, "You are right. If you continue, it will probably be difficult for you to make money."

Ou Wusheng also knew it very well, but he was helpless: "Duoyu, you have seen the world. Is there anything I can do about my situation?"

Li Duoyu thought for a while: "Your threshold is too low. Everyone can do it. Unless the industry is upgraded, there is nothing we can do?"

Industrial upgrading?

Ou Wusheng was a little confused when he heard this word for the first time: "What does this mean?"

Li Duoyu frowned and said, "I won't be able to explain it to you for a while. To put it simply, it is to make relatively high-end things."

“Does anyone want to make high-end products? But we seem to only be able to make bamboo baskets and baskets.”

Li Duoyu asked: "Let me ask you something, how are the skills of the bamboo weaving craftsmen in your village?"

“It’s not bad, several of them can even weave animals out of bamboo, and they also made all the lantern frames.”

 “That’s pretty awesome.”

Li Duoyu glanced at the room, and there happened to be a pen and paper: "Let's do this, I'll draw something first, and then you let them do it according to the pattern above."

Li Duoyu drew pictures on the spot, such as bamboo vases, bamboo chandeliers, and bamboo storage baskets.

These things are quite common in island countries and are used very frequently. It can be said that since the bamboo weaving culture was introduced to the island countries, they have always attached great importance to it and applied bamboo weaving products to all aspects of life.

 Speaking of which, they are the birthplace of bamboo culture, but for some reason, everyone seems to think that bamboo products are cheap, and seem to prefer the so-called luxury woods such as mahogany and nanmu.

But when Ou Wusheng saw what Li Duoyu painted, his mouth opened a little wide. He wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to do so.

 Abstract, really too abstract.

To be honest, the painting is not as good as that of his daughter Miaomiao. Ou Wusheng said quite against his will: "Duoyu, your painting is very sensitive."

Li Duoyu naturally knew how good he was in drawing, so he said a little embarrassedly: "You should be able to understand it, right?"

 Ouge nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Duoyu said with a smile: "As long as you can understand it, it doesn't matter what you weave. The most important thing is to show off our bamboo weaving technology."

 “Who should we show it to?”

Li Duoyu said seriously: "It's like this. In about twenty days, a guest from the island country will come to me. He may be interested in these things. Let's show him the things."

Brother Ou became excited when he heard this: "Duoyu, are you planning to do foreign trade?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said, “Isn’t what I’m best at doing foreign trade?”

“Oh, yes, yes.” Li Duoyu continued: “When I went to the island country, I found that they particularly like bamboo products. I thought that as long as we make good things, there might be something to do.”

 After hearing this, Brother Ou was a little worried but also a little excited: "But can people from the island country appreciate these things like us?"

Li Duoyu said: "How do you know if it works without trying it? Maybe they are bumpkins too?"

Ou Wusheng was startled and said, "Okay, after I go back this time, I will ask those old craftsmen to try their best to make these things as good as possible."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "If the negotiation can be successful this time, maybe we can cooperate."

Ou Wusheng said with hot eyes: "Then this time, I will do a good job and strive to cooperate with Director Li on a business as soon as possible."

 In fact, even if the foreign trade negotiations are not concluded, the things Li Duoyu gave Ou Ge will help Ou Ge expand his ideas for bamboo products.

Especially the mahjong mat. If I remember correctly, it will be a very popular bamboo product in the next few years.

After the two of them finished chatting, Li Duoyu asked: "Brother Ou, Miaomiao, are you feeling better now?"

“It’s much better.” Brother Ou said, “It’s been much better since I stayed on your island for a while last time.”

Ou Wusheng said: "If I weren't too busy and your sister-in-law wanted to help me, I would have sent her to your island to live for a while."

"welcome."

The two of them chatted until very late. When Li Duoyu woke up the next day, he was quite listless and had a pair of panda eyes.

When he came to the auditorium where the meeting was held, he looked around and saw that it was full of people. It seemed that there were many households worth ten thousand yuan in the entire county. It was worthy of being a place where smuggling had been done in the past.

 There was a banner hanging on the podium, with the words "Develop production, work hard and get rich" at the top.

 There are also the words "Lianjiang County Commendation Conference for Hard-working Wealth" in the lower row.

Every person who entered the venue was given a small red flower by the staff, but Li Duoyu’s red flower was different from everyone else’s and seemed to be a little bigger.

After entering the chapel, Li Duoyu wanted to sit with the villagers, but the villagers said, "Director Li, your seat is not here, it is in the first row in front."

Li Duoyu really found his place in the first row, and his name was posted on the back of the seat.

 【Li Duoyu, Shangfeng Town】

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but the seat next to Li Duoyu at this commendation meeting was [Nanri Town Zhang Sanming].

After the two met, they all smiled and nodded. Zhang Sanming smiled and said: "Director Li, long time no see."

After seeing Zhang Sanming, Li Duoyu asked unceremoniously: "Mr. Zhang, my second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua was taken care of by you some time ago."

 “Should, should.”

Li Duoyu continued: "It's difficult to raise eels recently. I don't know how Mr. Zhang is doing. I heard that you have a medicine in your hand that is very effective."

 Zhang Sanming was slightly surprised: "Director Li, did you raise the eels this time?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Every now and then, one or two eels die. I have no idea what's going on."

Zhang Sanming's face turned dark when he heard this. Recently, three to four thousand eels were dying every day for him.

It is 100% that Li Duoyu heard some news and came here to show off deliberately. Zhang Sanming really didn't want to pay attention to him at this moment.

The last time I came here for a meeting, it was the Rongcheng Fisheries Conference. The big leaders came to attend the meeting, but this time Li Duoyu looked through the table cards on the podium, and there was no name of the big leader.

　　Not even Secretary Huang, just these leaders in the county.

 After all, commendation meetings are different from work meetings. If the leader comes here and does not go to the next place, other places will have opinions.

 So either go to all such commendation meetings or not go at all.

Li Duoyu discovered that the people sitting in the front row were not the so-called households with ten thousand yuan. They were all entrepreneurs. There were ten people in total.

 There are two people in the breeding industry, namely he and Zhang Sanming.

 A person from the cannery, Lin Jinghua.

 Ren Chengyi of the textile factory.

There is also a young man who came back from Nanyang. This man's dress is slightly different from them. He does not wear a white shirt and trousers, but a casual outfit, which makes him stand out from the crowd.

 But there were many people around him who were complimenting him. Even County Magistrate Tao said very politely when he saw him: "Boss Lin."

A group of people with a household worth ten thousand yuan were fawning over him. Li Duoyu had seen this person several times in the newspaper and heard about their family's story.

His family can be considered one of the people who went to Nanyang in the early days. Later, they made a lot of money in Nanyang, so they returned to their hometown to invest in a sugar factory. I heard that the scale was quite large.

 After the commendation conference began, it was natural for Mr. Lin to speak as a guest and star entrepreneur.

 In other words, it's relatively conventional. It's probably because of homesickness, and I just returned to my country to invest in the hope of making a contribution to the motherland, etc. "

 After the overseas Chinese finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause.

Zhang Sanming, as a foreign investor and a guest speaker, generally praised Lianjiang County and felt that their county has great potential.

 After he finished his speech, the meeting moved on to the next agenda, which was to award “Hard-working Wealth Awards” to households with 10,000 yuan.

People in Xiasha Village saw Li Duoyu sitting in the first row and thought he was also going to speak. However, they did not expect that the commendation meeting was almost over and Li Duoyu was not invited to the stage.

At this time, some people in the audience started talking. Some people who were originally jealous of Li Duoyu couldn't help but start talking on the spot.

“I thought the leader paid much attention to him, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that.”

“Those who spoke are so powerful, of course he can’t compare to them.”

"Let me tell you, if I really let him speak this time, I can't help but wonder if Li Duoyu is the illegitimate son of the leader."

"Hahaha."

 The people in Xiasha Village felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words, and some of them were quite unhappy.

“Why should I let Zhang Sanming speak and not Brother Yu?”

“Brother Yu’s eel cultivation is much better than that of Zhang Sanming, and he has also earned foreign exchange. Now he has set up a shrimp farming factory. In the entire county, our village has the largest number of households worth 10,000 yuan.”

But Li Duoyu didn't care at all. When he had a drink with County Magistrate Tao and others the night before yesterday, he already knew the list of speakers. It was he who deleted the three words "Li Duoyu" from the list of speakers.

 At first, County Magistrate Tao refused, so Li Duoyu had no choice but to bring up the big boss and said that the loan for his shrimp farm was approved by the big boss.

 Everything is just for stability and cannot be too high-profile.

So the spokesperson changed from Li Duoyu to Zhang Sanming, but Zhang Sanming didn't know about it at all.

If he knew that Li Duoyu gave up this opportunity to speak because he found it troublesome to write a speech, he would probably vomit blood.

 At the end of the commendation meeting, Li Duoyu took the oath as a representative of new party members.

In this era, everyone is still very active and enthusiastic about joining the organization, and every pledger shouts very loudly.

Li Duoyu also shouted loudly. People like him who have been abroad know very well that only when the motherland is strong will others treat you as a human being, otherwise you will be treated like a monkey.

Of course, there are some people who don’t want to be human and want to kneel down and be like dogs. However, such people are often not human inside and out, and their lives are quite uncomfortable.

  After all, gringos are not stupid. For a person who doesn’t even love his own country, how can others believe that you love their country? They often just throw it away like a rag after using it.

At the moment when he took the oath, Li Duoyu was thinking a lot, wishing that his family would always be happy and safe, and that the motherland would always be prosperous and never be bullied again. (End of chapter)
