Vol 3 Chapter 552: It failed to be detected, there was a thunderstorm (5000 words)
The day after the opening ceremony of the shrimp farm, Li Duoyu and his shrimp farm appeared on the front page of Rongcheng Daily.
Most of the entire front page is related to Li Duoyu, and the title uses the words Li Duoyu said in his speech: strive to be world-class and open up overseas markets.
Minlong Shrimp Farming Base has achieved initial success. Within two years, shrimp seedlings will be provided to shrimp farmers free of charge.
At the end of the page, there is also an article about learning from Comrade Li Duoyu.
After this newspaper came out, several well-dressed middle-aged people in a western-style building over Ludao frowned after seeing the newspaper.
“This is too biased, and the leader’s article is an insinuation, is it talking about us?”
Someone also asked: "Mr. Sun, is that Li Duoyu from Dandan Island really raising shrimp seedlings?"
Sun Xiangdong knocked on the table and said: "If it was really that easy, we would have done it a long time ago. The manpower and material resources needed to cultivate high-quality shrimp seedlings cannot be afforded by ordinary companies. Besides, conducting research is not a matter of one or two years; Keep burning money.”
“If it’s like what you said, Li Duoyu is not trying to deceive the leader and deliberately obtain a loan.”
“It’s really hard to tell.”
Sun Xiangdong knocked on the table and said: "Whether he can do it or not, it is not a good thing for Haixin. I think everyone should know how to do it. At the critical moment, we still have to unite and cannot be defeated by one person." You little brat, just act like a monkey.”
Someone said: "I think that Li Duoyu's foundation should be his eel farming. As long as this foundation is destroyed, there should be no trouble."
Sun Xiangdong continued to knock on the table and asked, "By the way, how is Mr. Zhang doing? It seems that the eels will be shipped out in the next two days."
“Mr. Zhang said that there was a small problem, but the overall impact was not big. By then, there will still be 200,000 eels exported.”
Sun Xiangdong frowned: "This is different from what we agreed at the beginning. We are aiming for a scale of 500,000."
Someone said helpfully: "How can we succeed from the beginning? We also took a big detour in the beginning of shrimp farming and lost a lot of money before we got high-quality shrimp seedlings."
Sun Xiangdong smiled slightly and stopped continuing the topic when he saw someone speaking for him.
At about this time, someone on Dandan Island saw a large ship heading towards Nanri Town.
When passing near Dandan Island, a whistle was blown, and even Li Duoyu, who worked in the eel factory, heard it.
Chen Wenchao said: "Brother Yu, this boat looks similar to the big boat that came to buy your eels last year."
Li Duoyu nodded: "This boat should be going to Nanri Town to collect eels."
Chen Wenchao frowned and said, "They have raised them too."
Li Duoyu smiled, raising and raising well are two completely different concepts.
As the ship docked at the largest pier in Nanri Town, all employees at Haixin Eel Factory were very happy.
After working hard for more than a year, it’s finally time to harvest.
Several leaders of the eel factory said: "That Li Duoyu is nothing special. Although we have killed a lot of eels, we have also survived a lot."
“But facts have proven that our breeding model is still feasible. If orders double next year, we only need to continue to double the size of the eel pond.”
Hearing this, Zhang Xuejin’s mouth twitched. To be honest, raising these eels almost killed him.
Principal Chen urged him to go back to teaching, but he didn't even have time to go back. Now the school party committee held a special meeting to discuss his stay because of his personal style.
If the scale were doubled, his status as a school teacher would be 100% unprotected.
On the day the live fish boat arrived, Zhang Sanming directly contracted the best restaurant in the town.
He warmly received the purchasers from the island countries, as well as the staff of the Customs and Foreign Trade Bureau.
In fact, Zhang Sanming is not very familiar with the purchasers in these island countries. He first got in touch with them through the Foreign Trade Bureau.
In this era of earning foreign exchange, the Foreign Trade Bureau does a lot of things. As long as you have suitable export goods, the Bureau can find ways to help you find buyers.
Simply put, the Foreign Trade Bureau itself is the largest salesperson.
In order to treat this meal, Zhang Sanming spent a lot of money and purchased a lot of rare game in advance.
What’s embarrassing is that, apart from seafood and rice, these islanders are not particularly interested in owl meat, white pheasant meat, and bear paws.
Even so, I only had one or two sips of Maotai. Instead, I preferred local seafood and rice wine, and I also ate a lot of white rice.
On this day, dozens of eel ponds have begun to release water, and all fishing personnel are in place.
What Zhang Sanming didn’t expect was that the eel buyer named Fujiwara didn’t transport the eels directly.
Instead, they took a lot of water samples from each eel pond, and then selected a few eels in each pond to be sent to their ship for quarantine testing.
Zhang Sanming was quite puzzled, and then asked a quarantine officer: "What are you trying to test?"
The technical staff replied: “According to the requirements, live fish products must undergo quarantine inspection before they can be exported.”
After hearing this, Zhang Sanming and Zhang Xuejin suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and couldn't help but look at the salesman who had taken the lead for them.
“Chief Lin, when we signed the contract, we didn’t seem to say that we would test this.”
Lin Shengjin frowned and said: "Yes, I emphasized to you the other day that the export of live fish must meet the importer's quarantine standards, and it is clearly stated in the contract."
Zhang Sanming did not believe in evil and took out the contract immediately. There was indeed a clause written on it.
【For the export of live fish, please refer to the "Precautions for Inspection of Exported Live Fish". The import standards of the other party shall prevail. 】
Zhang Sanming had a dark face, the contract was so thick, and everyone was more concerned about the price. Who would pay attention to these short thirty words.
Besides, he drank a lot on the day of the cooperation discussion, so he couldn't remember what Chief Lin said to him.
Zhang Xuejin was also sweating profusely. In fact, he had long felt that there might be something wrong with the medicine he purchased from the expert from the overseas province.
Otherwise, the effect of the medicine cannot be so quick and immediate.
Seeing that Zhang Sanming was sweating on his forehead, Lin Shengjin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This business is his. When he got this business, he didn't know how many people in the bureau were envious of it.
There are even rumors that as long as this deal is completed, he is likely to become the best candidate for the next director.
Lin Shengjin couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhang, why are you sweating profusely? Our batch of eels should be fine."
Zhang Sanming wiped his sweat and said, "It's definitely no problem. I'm more afraid of heat. When it gets hot, I'll sweat profusely."
“You have night sweats and are weak.” Lin Shengjin smiled and said, “Mr. Zhang, we are in the same boat now. Please don’t drag me into the water.”
“No, how is it possible?”
To be honest, Zhang Sanming really wanted to just grab the bucket and run away, because his intuition told him that he would probably not pass the test this time.
But he still had some luck.
Perhaps the expert from the overseas province gave him a new drug and the other party couldn't detect it?
Perhaps,
What they test is not drug residues or anything like that, but other things.
He still didn’t believe it. Eels were so difficult to raise, and Li Duoyu passed the inspection without adding any food to the pond. He must be fine too.
However, the detection has just begun. The detection equipment on the live fish boat has been alarming and flashing red lights.
“Chloramphenicol test, failed.”
“Parasite test, failed.”
“Salmonella test, failed.”
“Antibiotic test, failed.”
A quarantine officer wearing protective clothing said: "The veterinary drug residue index seriously exceeds the standard and does not meet the purchase conditions."
After a whole day of testing, except for the freshness test, almost all the remaining tests were wiped out.
This eel buyer from the island country had a dark face throughout the whole process and presented with a lot of unqualified inspection results.
After arriving at Haixin Eel Factory, he started to curse loudly and looked very angry.
Lin Shengjin from the Foreign Trade Bureau and the people at the customs were all dumbfounded. Although they didn't understand, the other party looked so angry that something had obviously happened. Zhang Sanming and Zhang Xuejin’s hands and feet instantly became cold, and the last trace of luck in their hearts was pinched away.
The female translator accompanying the Foreign Trade Bureau filtered out the international lingua franca of greeting other people’s ancestors and spoke the words of the eel buyer.
“Mr. Fujiwara said that our batch of eels does not meet export standards and all tests failed. He is not prepared to purchase eels.”
“According to the agreement, we have to compensate him for the trip expenses and subsequent economic losses, a total of 300,000 yuan.”
After hearing this, Lin Shengjin looked at the accompanying translator and said with a wry smile: "Zeng Mei, this is a very serious occasion, don't make fun of us."
The female translator said seriously: "Chief Lin, do you think I'm joking?"
Lin Shengjin clenched his fists fiercely, and the veins on his forehead popped out, feeling that his official career seemed to have come to an end.
He looked at Zhang Sanming angrily and asked tremblingly: "Mr. Zhang, what exactly did you do to the eel? How did you fail all the tests?"
Last year, he participated in Li Duoyu's eel export with the director. I remember that after the other party completed the test, all the indicators passed. He was full of praise for Director Li.
He even said that even he couldn't do it so well.
I thought that Zhang Sanming and the others would be more reliable because they had experience in shrimp farming. When they signed the contract, they were all hyped up at the banquet, so he dared to take over this business.
I didn’t expect it to be a big pit.
Lin Shengjin gritted his teeth. He was really hurt now. According to the agreement, not only did he not earn any foreign exchange, but he might also have to pay foreign exchange back.
This is something that is unheard of in the bureau.
At this moment, Zhang Sanming was so hot that he was sweating profusely, but his hands and feet felt cold: "If the test is so strict, how could that Li Duoyu pass?"
“Mr. Fujiwara, are the test results wrong? How about we test again?”
After the translation, the islander said even more angrily: "Do you think we are as lax as you? We tested it three times before we got this result."
Lin Shengjin’s last illusion was shattered, and now all he could think about was how this matter should end.
The first thing he thought of was that the person in charge of this matter was the local county committee.
I directly used the phone number of Haixin Eel Factory to make a call to the county party committee, which took less than half a day.
Because he was relatively close to Li Duoyu, Zhang Sanming did not invite the new county magistrate for this foreign trade transaction.
But Zhang Sanming never expected that he would be invited over in this way.
After Magistrate Tao arrived at the Haixin Eel Factory, he frowned after understanding the situation. This happened in their county, and it would most likely affect the county's foreign exchange quota.
He was too lazy to curse and said on the spot: "Chief Lin, Mr. Zhang, this matter seems to have nothing to do with our county."
Chief Lin said: "County Chief Tao, the county party committee took the lead in this matter, and our Foreign Trade Bureau was also involved."
County Magistrate Tao smiled and said: "Which one will take the lead?"
"open"
Halfway through the words, Lin Shengjin swallowed up the name of the person. He was leaving and the new official could not settle the old accounts.
Fujiwara was very tough and kept asking the Foreign Trade Bureau to compensate them for their losses.
Zhang Sanming also started to argue, saying that the islanders deliberately raised the testing threshold, which was a fraud.
On this issue, the four parties have become a mess, and no one wants to shoulder this responsibility.
Seeing several big bosses making a lot of noise in the office and banging the table, the employees of Haixin Eel Factory also noticed something was wrong.
“But the water is half full. Can we catch the eels? The weather is so hot. If it continues like this, the eels will die.”
In fact, when the islanders were conducting tests, eels kept dying in the eel pond.
As soon as they died, they were picked up by the staff, collected together, and put into the cold storage.
The cold storage now exudes a stench that makes these workers feel nauseous every time they come in and out.
Because these dead eels have foul-smelling liquid flowing out of their anuses. There are many dead eels, and the smell is extremely stinky.
The workers were also curious: "Where did you say these dead eels went?"
“We are the ones getting paid, so don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask.”
“I don’t know which unlucky person will eat these dead eels. During this period, I have to remind my family not to buy eels to eat.”
After the quarrel lasted for most of the night, Fujiwara, who had purchased the eel, asked the live fish boat to add water to the cabin. He was so angry that he left Nanri Town overnight.
The foreign trade bill fell through in this way, but the matter was not over. Before leaving, Fujiwara said that if he did not compensate for his losses, he would blame the matter on them.
Now, Lin Shengjin's mind is blank, but he is not brainless.
He certainly couldn't handle such a big thing by himself, so he rushed back to the Foreign Trade Bureau overnight, explained the situation to the director, and tried his best to shift the responsibility away from Hai Xin and Zhang Xian.
Zhang Sanming and Zhang Xuejin couldn't sleep at all, and the matter was developing in a completely uncontrollable direction.
But what is before them now is that the eel export failed, but it has been dying, and it was just for easier fishing.
The water in the pond is almost empty. More than a day has passed and the eels are dying in large numbers.
A staff member asked: "Mr. Zhang, our eels keep dying, what should we do?"
Zhang Sanming gritted his teeth and became fierce. All he can do now is to reduce economic losses.
If he can't survive in Rongcheng, he might as well stop living in Rongcheng. Anyway, these lands were rented to him cheaply from the county.
The most important thing now is how to explain and explain to the shareholders of Haixin Company. As long as he does not lose too much, it can be explained, and he still has a chance to make a comeback.
“Invite the fish killers in the town and we’ll kill the eels overnight.”
Zhang Sanming said to Zhang Xuejin: "Go and contact the processing factory and ask them to prepare more ingredients. Let's try to grill all the eels within this week."
In fact, until now, Zhang Xuejin’s mind is completely blank, and he regrets raising this eel very much.
But it’s too late to say anything now, because he and Zhang are always in the same boat now.
He has also dealt with many dirty things. If something goes wrong with him, he will never be able to run away.
“Okay, I’ll contact the processing factory right away.” Zhang Xuejin asked, “Which package should we use?”
Zhang Sanming said fiercely: "Li Duoyu's eels are about to be launched. He can't all be exported. What kind of packaging should we use? If there is a problem then, what does it have to do with us?"
“Let’s do things cleanly. The people in charge of the processing plant and the printing plant should entertain them well and don’t let anyone know if they know.”
Zhang Xuejin couldn't help but wipe off a cold sweat. Although he had known Mr. Zhang's methods before, judging from today's performance, this person was more ruthless than he imagined.
In fact, he also knew very well that the poisoning of Li Duoyu's eel pond was 100% related to him.
Because when those people were arrested, Zhang Sanming almost smashed up his office.
He also kept scolding: "The people on Dandan Island are all sons of bitches. They accepted my money and dared to betray me."
To be honest, Zhang Xuejin is really scared now, but he can no longer look back. This time, he is in too deep.
At this moment, he looked at his colleagues with envy. Although they didn't get a lot of money, they were really only responsible for raising eels and didn't care about other things.
"well!"
Zhang Xuejin sighed heavily. If he had not competed with Li Duoyu, he might not have embarked on the path of raising eels.
It's too late to say anything now!
But he still couldn't figure out how a street kid who graduated from junior high school could be better than a group of professionals like them.
They even started a shrimp farming industry. If you guessed correctly, Li Duoyu should be successful in shrimp farming this time.
“Hehe”
Zhang Xuejin laughed at himself. (End of chapter)
