Chapter 688 Inheritance (1/2)
With Lin Akuan taking the lead, Li Duoyu quickly integrated into the circle of overseas Chinese, which was a bit out of reach for ordinary people.
It's still the familiar process. After everyone gets to know each other, they start exchanging business cards.
A middle-aged man with a big belly said: "Mr. Li, your clove fish is really good. Do you still have it in stock? I plan to make a batch and sell it back."
Li Duoyu apologized: "Boss Dong, I'm sorry, if you want a few boxes, I can send them to you directly, but cloves are in season and are out of stock this year.
Next year, we can produce more. Boss Dong, would you like to consider other products of our company? Shredded kelp and grilled squid are also good. "
The middle-aged man thought for a while: "Okay, then shredded kelp and grilled squid, you must leave more for me next year. Whatever you say, I have to take a boat away."
"That's for sure."
Originally, Li Duoyu's plan for the past two years was to adjust the industrial structure, and he had not yet started to enter foreign trade.
But I didn’t expect it, it’s related, you don’t need to run the foreign trade orders yourself, the orders will be delivered to your door by yourself.
Li Duoyu was also very grateful to Lin Akuan. Although the two were not familiar with each other, the other party seemed to really regard him as a brother.
Under Lin Akuan's introduction, Li Duoyu also met several real bigwigs among these overseas Chinese.
Among them was an uncle of Lin Akuan, the big boss who invested in an entire port.
Li Duoyu also heard from others that his entire family built flour mills and cement factories in Nanyang, and they were said to be very big.
In front of these people, today's Minlong is really insignificant, but Li Duoyu does not feel inferior because of this.
Because everyone wants to take different paths. To be honest, if he just pursues money now.
There is really no guarantee that he will lose to these people, but everyone has their own ambitions, and Li Duoyu still prefers the mountains and sea of Dandan Island.
The person preparing this meeting was the second-in-command in the city. Perhaps because there were more overseas Chinese, the whole process was not too lengthy.
Everyone directly entered the free discussion session. They discussed more about how to build the Sea Goddess Statue higher and bigger.
To make the Mazu Temple more glorious and grand, it would be best to make it the largest in the world. There are also overseas Chinese who plan to donate a good Mazu statue.
Of course, in addition to these, some overseas Chinese have also talked about the problem of public toilets on the island. Some overseas Chinese have already had strong opinions on the smelly public toilets.
After their discussion, Lin Akuan said on the spot: "I will take care of this public toilet. Although the time is a bit tight, it should be no problem to do something simple."
This Millennium Festival is a series of activities, including the foundation laying of the Sea Goddess Statue, Mazu's patrol and other activities.
It can only be said that there is strength in numbers. With everyone’s help, many problems on Meizhou Island have been solved.
Li Duoyu is also happy to take advantage of the situation. After all, with so many big bosses present, it's really not his turn to take the lead. When it's time to keep a low profile, he has to keep a low profile.
But sometimes the more you want to keep a low profile, things don't go as planned. This time the host, the second-in-command in the city, suddenly picked him up.
"Director Li, as the representative of young entrepreneurs in our province and the director of our ancestral temple, we would like to hear, do you have any suggestions for this time?"
Seeing the leader calling him, Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he was really not familiar with this leader.
Li Duoyu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Boss, the elders have spoken very well. I am a junior and have relatively little experience. I really don't dare to make random suggestions."
The second-in-command said: "You are too humble. I have heard you speak several times and made us feel ashamed. Director Huang Qingfeng also mentioned you to me. This time you are also a director of the ancestral temple. Why don't you represent our people?" Please give me some suggestions.”
Li Duoyu's forehead is covered with black lines. These big men are really good at deceiving people with their titles.
Not long ago, we had a representative of young entrepreneurs, and today we have a representative of a civil society organization here.
If this continues, Li Duoyu feels like he will never finish writing the various introductions on his business card.
In the future, when I hand out business cards myself, I might have to use the folded ones, followed by fifty or sixty job titles.
It was true that Li Duoyu wanted to keep a low profile, but he had already been brought out. No matter how low-key he was, it would be a loss of face for the leader.
Li Duoyu also felt it. The leader asked him to stand up and make suggestions, just to make the locals look good.
Because after the entire meeting, the suggestions were made by these overseas Chinese, and the money was also provided by these overseas Chinese.
Those village sages who had loud voices before the meeting were all mute after the meeting.
However, Li Duoyu can also understand that if you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don't have money, it's really difficult to move around, and you can even speak in a low voice.
Since the leader asked him to make suggestions, Li Duoyu really thought about it seriously.
He really has something to say. The current Meizhou Island Ancestral Temple still looks very easy-going to people, and it is a place of pilgrimage in everyone's mind.
But in the not-too-distant future, a qualitative change will slowly occur, and from now on Mazu in the ancestral temple will become a tool used by a few people to make money.
Not only do you need money to go to the island and worship, but you also need to collect tickets for scenic spots. You may feel that this is not enough to earn money, and you have even set up various companies using the ancestral temple.
He talks about carrying it forward, but behind the scenes he does things that everyone knows.
Li Duoyu has been immersed in it since he was a child. The so-called greatness of Mazu, the goddess of hundreds of millions of believers, is because of her selflessness.
She protects the fishermen and ships along the coast with her life. According to Li Duoyu's understanding and according to Mazu's character, even if you get her a gold statue, she will donate it and wish to build more breakwaters.
After thinking for a while, Li Duoyu finally stood up and said: "Hello fellow citizens, my name is Li Duoyu. What you just talked about was really good."
Li Duoyu first praised everyone, and then continued: "I don't have any special abilities, but I grew up listening to the stories of Mazu. Every time I heard that Mazu sacrificed her life to save others, I felt special. Excited.
Even now, our fishing boats are still very backward, especially in our fishing villages near the sea. Many families are not particularly intact. Even now, fishermen tie their heads in their belts when they go to sea. What they fear most is a sudden change in weather or going to sea. At that time, he hit a reef.
We, Minlong, are just in the process of development and cannot afford that much money. We only hope that in the future development, we will strive to pass on the spirit of selfless dedication of Mazu. I may not be able to donate much money, but we hope to form a team. The private maritime rescue fleet inherits Mazu’s spirit of selfless dedication and makes our sea routes smoother and smoother. "
After Li Duoyu finished speaking, the conference room suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
It was Lin Akuan who was the first to applaud: "Mr. Li, that's well said. If you really want to form a rescue team, count me in."
Immediately afterwards, warm applause erupted in the venue, and some overseas Chinese bosses began to look at this young man with admiration.
After listening to the young man's words, they suddenly felt a little ashamed. Unexpectedly, they were so old that they were taught a lesson by the young man.
The second-in-command in charge of presiding over the meeting was also quite surprised after listening to Li Duoyu's speech.
No wonder the boss likes him. This guy can surprise people every time, and he is very good at summarizing and sublimating. He has risen from the material level to the spiritual level in one go.
This does not look like someone who has not graduated from junior high school. Even if a college graduate comes to write articles, he may not be able to do as well as him.
But what the leader didn't expect was that after the boy finished speaking, he actually didn't put down the phone, but continued to ask: "By the way, there is one more thing. I want to ask the preparatory team, is there an invitation to our celebration this time?" Will the TV station or director come?"
Li Duoyu really has one regret, that is, for an important celebration like the Mazu Millennium Festival, there was not a very complete video feature in the previous life, and there were not many photos that survived.
Li Duoyu knows very well that in this era, inviting TV stations to come over is not an easy task because it requires approval from the leadership.
In addition, these days, the bosses still have conservative opinions on this kind of things.
As for inviting some directors to make documentaries and the like, as far as local leaders are concerned, these methods are not necessarily available.
After the second-in-command heard this, he reacted instantly and asked quickly: "Director Li, do you have any connections here?"
Li Duoyu nodded: "Leader, I can try to contact you. If the other party agrees, I will report to the preparatory team."
"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
Li Duoyu really did have connections. The mainland reporter in the province had harassed him so many times, so this time it was his turn.
Reciprocity is a gentleman! If the TV station refuses, they can simply ask Xiao Wu to go to BJ again, spend some money, and invite the director back.
This preparatory meeting was relatively successful. At the end of the meeting, Li Duoyu only donated tens of thousands of yuan in a symbolic sense.
But I also took two things away.
One of them was that the leader really planned to build a private maritime rescue team, so this matter naturally fell on him.
The second thing is that he is responsible for contacting the TV station to ensure that there is a special documentary on the entire Millennium Festival.
Chen Yuanshan, who came with him, was forced to sit there the whole time. After following Li Duoyu out, he finally realized how big the gap between himself and the village director was.
In the past, I always felt that I was senior and always thought of relying on my elders to show off my old age. Now I suddenly felt that this young man might actually be sent by Mazu to save their Dandan Island.
When Li Duoyu left Meizhou Island, he chatted with the overseas Chinese for a while, and then used his fishing boat to send several big bosses back to Jiangyin Town in Digua County next door.
Before leaving, Lin Akuan's uncle, surnamed Lin, said to Li Duoyu: "Xiao Li, are you interested in doing real estate with me?"
Li Duoyu hesitated for a moment, but he really didn't expect that the future real estate giant would extend an olive branch to him at this time.
"Of course, but I have to wait until Mr. Lin builds the house before I buy it."
The other party was stunned for a moment. From the young man's tone, he already knew that he was also optimistic about the real estate industry, but he just had no intention of entering.
After watching the fishing boat leave.
The middle-aged man surnamed Lin was silent for a long time: "Ah Kuan, if you have time, you should walk more with this little brother. In my opinion, this young man may develop better than us in the future. ”
"Uncle thinks so highly of him."
The middle-aged man named Lin remained silent and said lightly: "Businessman's intuition."
After Li Duoyu returned to Dandan Island, he went straight to the breeding base and immediately made a phone call to contact Lu Xiaoyu.
But what Li Duoyu didn't expect was that this woman was promoted as fast as a rocket and was now the production director of the station.
After listening to Li Duoyu's words, she thought for a while and agreed very readily, but it seemed that Li Duoyu didn't get any advantage from her.
Lu Xiaoyu could apply to shoot the Millennium Festival, but in contrast, she also wanted to reshoot a special issue about Minlong, and the name of the special issue had been thought of for him.
"The Gorgeous Transformation of the Fishing Village".
Li Duoyu's mouth twitched. It turned out that this reporter Lu had been eyeing him for a long time, and he took the initiative to throw himself into her arms.
It was harder than climbing to the sky to take advantage of this woman.
Time passed quickly. During the preparation period, Li Duoyu's Minlong Food Factory took a big step forward.
Manager An sent good news. The sales of the three products that Li Duoyu promoted successfully exceeded one million. The next goal is to sprint to two million.
The shrimp ponds on Dandan Island have also completed the fishing work, and the blue crabs were also sold together. The company directly received nearly 800,000 yuan.
Brother-in-law Zhang Mingsheng also said: "Many shrimp farmers have already started to reserve shrimp seedlings for next year, and the number of shrimp seedlings reserved for next year is expected to double."
After two years of precipitation, Minlong has been developing in a better direction.
During this period, the happiest person is Li Yaoguo. He goes to the bank to check the account every day, and he is so happy looking at the dense remittance bills.
In the past, he felt particularly stressed every time he received salary, but now he no longer has such worries.
Looking at the balance in the company's account, Li Yaoguo is so happy, but the happiness only lasts for a few days.
Li Duoyu said directly at a company meeting: "Our cloves are selling very well this year. I plan to buy an imported offshore processing ship directly."
Li Yaoguo asked: "How much is it?"
Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It's not very expensive. The whole ship is about three million."
After hearing this, Li Yaoguo's face turned black on the spot, but Li Duoyu did not give him room to object, and said on the spot: "Cloves are one of our company's current main products. Only by investing can we get greater returns."
On the night of September 8th.
After Li Duoyu, Lao Lu, and other bosses finished worshipping at the Tianhou Temple on Dandan Island, the temple keeper shouted in a hoarse voice: "Today, the Queen of Heaven will set off to return to her ancestral temple on Meizhou Island!" (End of this chapter)
