Chapter 734
In 1992.
In late October.
A postman in green postal uniform held a letter and shouted at the door of Li Duoyu's house: "Director Li, you have a letter from abroad."
"I know, just put it in my mailbox." Li Duoyu, who was breastfeeding her baby, was somewhat surprised when she heard it, thinking it was from the island country.
"Your mailbox is almost full."
Ever since Li Duoyu became famous, there have been all kinds of strange letters in his mailbox.
Some wanted him to donate, some wanted to cooperate with him, some asked him to adopt a child, some young girls boldly confessed to him, and some wanted to be pen pals with him.
In short, there were all kinds of people.
Li Duoyu read it with great interest at first, but later he gave it to Teacher Zhou to kill time.
Now most of the time, Teacher Zhou is looking through the mailbox, and sometimes, he will take a few better-written letters and tell them to students as teaching plans.
But she felt that it was too much of a monotony. Starting from the second half of the year, the original principal of Dandan Island Primary School retired, and Teacher Zhou was promoted to acting principal, becoming the youngest primary school principal in the entire county.
Of course, she also had better choices. Due to her high teaching quality, the performance of Dandan Island Primary School has always been among the best in the entire school district.
The County Education Bureau has always wanted her to go to work, and the best primary school in Rongcheng has also invited her, but Teacher Zhou has three children after all. If she changes her job, it will affect the whole body, and it is estimated that the whole family will have to move. In the end, Zhou Xiaoying rejected all invitations and chose to stay on Dandan Island.
…
After Li Duoyu opened the mailbox while holding Minmin, there were so many letters in it that they all fell to the ground. Minmin, the girl, is also four years old and looks very similar to Teacher Zhou when she was a child.
Her mother always likes to comb her hair into two ponytails, which looks very cute. She is very attached to him since she was a child and hangs on him whenever she has the chance.
Seeing the letters falling all over the floor, Minmin slid down from him and said happily: "Dad, I'll help you open the letter. Can you give me the stamp on it?"
Li Duoyu thought for a moment: "Yes, but you have to open it carefully and don't tear the letter. And don't cut your hands with scissors."
"Got it, Dad."
Sitting in the courtyard, the grown-up Tutu saw this scene and hummed disdainfully: "What a clingy guy, he only knows how to stick to Dad every day."
Minmin saw his elder brother say again He said in a baby voice: "Grandma told me that you were the same as me when you were little. You peed secretly when your father held you."
"No way, you're talking nonsense."
Li Pu's face turned red instantly: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank you."
"Lululu, bad brother." Minmin made a face to Tutu: "If you dare to hit me, I'll tell my mother that you paid someone to do your homework for you yesterday."
After saying this, Li Minmin immediately covered his mouth and then looked at his father in horror.
Li Pu stayed where he was, and didn't even have the courage to look at his father. He wished he could install a spring under his feet to launch himself out.
Li Duoyu walked towards him with a smile, then touched his head and twisted his ears.
"Where did the money come from?"
Li Pu looked at Minmin in anger, this evildoer, didn't he know that his mother was just doing a simple repair, and it would be fatal if his father did it?
Li Puyi showed a harmless smile: "Dad, I earned the money by fishing myself. It's cold recently, so there are a lot of sea breams on the fishing raft."
After hearing this, Li Duoyu, who wanted to give him a good beating, let go of his ear and thought seriously.
Perhaps influenced by the family environment, this child is completely different from his previous life. In his previous life, he was a student with excellent character and academic performance.
But in this life, born in such a wealthy family, he doesn't seem to be so motivated, and the theory of the usefulness of studying is not so valuable to him.
Even if Li Duoyu doesn't tell Xiao Tutu how rich his father is, others will tell him.
In fact, Li Duoyu didn't plan for this child to be successful. If he didn't cheat, it would be impossible for him to surpass his father in future achievements.
Li Duoyu hopes that this child is safe and healthy, and of course he can't become a waste, so it's time to think carefully about how to educate this child.
Otherwise, if the current education method continues, it feels that this child will be useless sooner or later.
Li Duoyu thought about it seriously, and then said to his eldest son: "If you think studying is boring, you can just go with me to make money from tomorrow."
"Really, Dad?"
Li Pu looked excited, but then frowned: "But if I don't go to class, my mother will beat me to death."
Li Duoyu smiled and said: "I'll talk to your mother, she won't beat you, and she may even support you."
"Okay, I'll go make money with Dad."
Li Duoyu looked at the eager little Tutu, sighed, and said silently in his heart: "You don't want to read the easiest book, but you have to go to work, right? Then let you be a social animal first, and feel the suffering of this world in advance."
At this time, Li Minmin came over with a letter: "Dad, this letter is so strange, the words on it seem to be different from others."
Seeing this blue and white envelope, Li Duoyu roughly guessed that it was the foreign letter that the postman just mentioned.
The envelope was filled with simplified English addresses, which were completely incomprehensible. Fortunately, there was a string of Chinese characters next to it, otherwise it might not have been sent to him.
Although Li Duoyu's English was very poor, he could still understand the stamping time on the stamp. He only took a quick look and found that it had been sent out more than half a year ago.
After seven months, it finally came to him. Now the letter has become wrinkled and the stamps on it are almost worn out.
Looking at the English name (Jerry) on the letter, Li Duoyu roughly guessed who sent the letter to him.
There was a show-off in the dormitory who once said that his English name was Jerry.
After Li Duoyu opened the letter.
[Seeing the words is like seeing the face.
Brother Yu, I really miss you so much.]
It was indeed sent by Zhao Jialu, with four pages of letter paper. He was not as good-looking as him, but his handwriting was even neater than his.
After reading the letter, Li Duoyu realized that so many things had happened to him in the past few years.
When Zhao Jialu arrived in Hong Kong Island, he worked with his uncle Chen Jiao. Since the Chen family had sensed something was wrong earlier, they transferred part of their assets to Hong Kong Island.
After they arrived in Hong Kong Island, their living conditions were quite good. They had a place to live and a nanny...
After they arrived in Hong Kong Island, they returned to their old business and started the catering industry, but because they were not used to the local climate, they could not do better than those Chaoshan people.
As a result, the development was not very good. After Zhao Jialu worked there for two years, he did not see any improvement, so he started to look for another way out.
After all, the money earned in China was not enough to spend here. After opening a few stores and hiring dozens of employees, there was not much left.
And he could not help well. Finally, under the introduction of a friend, he followed a group of people to the Gold Coast of Africa to pan for gold.
At first, they really went to pan for gold, but because it was too tiring and dangerous, they later opened a supermarket with a few Fuqing brothers.
In the letter, Zhao Jialu kept complaining that the people in Africa were poor and lazy, but the prices were very high, and there was a shortage of various items. A plastic bag could be a treasure, which was very suitable for running a supermarket here.
In addition to reminiscing about the past, Zhao Jialu wrote this letter for another purpose.
That was to get goods from Li Duoyu. He planned to get a few containers of Minlong canned food and some daily necessities to sell there.
Because of the inconvenience of communication there, Zhao Jialu also left him a contact number. If he was willing to cooperate, he could call him directly. He could call him back in about a week. After reading the letter, Li Duoyu's eyes widened. He really didn't expect Zhao Jialu to go to Africa to open a supermarket.
But think about it, he is now with Brother Fuqing, and this time is really the time for Brother Fuqing to venture into the world.
Although it is very dangerous there, if you go out in this era, as long as you are willing to go out, there are business opportunities everywhere.
Li Duoyu is still very supportive.
It is estimated that the experiences of these years are much more exciting than the first half of Zhao Jialu's life.
After receiving the letter, Li Duoyu immediately called Zhao Jialu back. After various transfers at the long-distance station, he waited for two hours.
Li Duoyu finally got through, but the person on the other end of the phone spoke poor Chinese English.
"Hello~~"
"Hu Ahyou, Ah Si, are you willing?"
Li Duoyu is very familiar with this kind of Chinese English. When he worked in the catering industry in the island country, many young people especially liked to talk in English in the island country.
After hearing it, he would reply directly in Chinese, which made them happy every time.
Li Duoyu tried to ask in Fuqing dialect: "Excuse me, can you contact a person named Zhao Jialu?"
After hearing the voice of his fellow villager, the other party was also very excited: "Looking for Brother Zhao, by the way, are you the Li Duoyu from Dandan Island?"
"Yes, it's me, how did you know."
Li Duoyu was also a little surprised. The other party replied: "Brother Zhao comes to my place every month and asks if you have called."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I just received the letter."
The other party said excitedly: "Mr. Li, it's like this, it takes me about a week to contact Brother Zhao, do you have a phone number, then I will ask him to call you back, or I will ask him to wait by the phone next week, and you can call me then."
"Okay, it's okay."
Because the signal is not good and it may be disconnected at any time, Li Duoyu quickly left his number.
These days, it is difficult to send letters, and it is even more difficult to make international long-distance calls. Often, in order to wait for a person's call, you dare not run around, and you have to squat by the phone for several weeks, just for fear of missing the call.
In addition to Zhao Jialu's own affairs, he also talked about Chen Yuansu in the letter. She did not stay in Hong Kong Island but went to the island country. She currently opened a Chinese restaurant in Tokyo.
When seeing this news, Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile. So far, he still remembers that the first time Chen Yuansu took the initiative to find him, it was to discuss how to open a Japanese restaurant in China.
But I didn't expect that now it's completely the opposite. She is now running to the island country to open a Chinese restaurant. In a sense, she can be regarded as not forgetting her original intention.
But it's also true. Li Duoyu can see that even though the Xinyuan Group developed so well back then, she didn't look very happy. Maybe returning to her original intention is the best for her.
While waiting for Zhao Jialu's call, Li Duoyu had already begun preparing various canned aquatic products.
In addition to canned seafood, Li Duoyu also bought a lot of canned fruits from Zhang City, as well as a lot of daily necessities.
If I remember correctly, daily necessities are more popular in Africa. They have no production system there and often even the simplest daily necessities must be imported.
Li Duoyu stayed by the phone and waited for two whole weeks before finally receiving an international long-distance call from Zhao Jialu.
"Brother Yu, is that you?"
After Li Duoyu received the call, he cursed on the spot: "Damn it, I slept in the company for two weeks just to answer your call."
The moment he heard Li Duoyu's voice, Zhao Jialu felt like he was about to cry: "Brother Yu, I was wrong. This phone has been busy. It took me two days to get through."
Seeing the intermittent sizzling sound coming from the phone, Li Duoyu said: "Hurry up and prepare the procedures. I will send the goods directly to you when the time comes. There are almost fifteen containers with various things in them. It should sell well at your place.”
Hearing that Li Duoyu gave him so many containers of goods, Zhao Jialu's brain directly short-circuited: "Brother Yu, but the people here don't have that much money, can you just bring a few containers first?"
Li Duoyu said disgustedly:
"It's only a few containers. I don't do such a small business. If you want it, I'll give you fifteen. As for the payment for the goods, wait until you make money, then give me the payment for the goods, or you can find a way to open it for me abroad." Give me an account and deposit the money into it.”
"Brother Yu." Zhao Jialu choked up suddenly. Li Duoyu trusted Zhao Jialu unconditionally. He really regarded him as a brother.
After Li Duoyu finished speaking: "Don't cry in a hurry. You will cry later. I will ask Xiuqing to tell you a few words."
"Ah, Xiuqing is here too?"
Li Duoyu replied: "Well, Xiuqing has just come to work in my company. You don't have to worry about this. With me protecting her, no one dares to bully them."
Li Duoyu turned around and called Chen Xiaoyan, who was pregnant with her belly, and said, "Go and call my cousin."
"Mr. Li, if you call Sister Xiuqing your cousin again, be careful and she will get angry with you later."
Not a moment.
A woman holding a little boy hurried over. She glanced at Li Duoyu, and then looked at the phone.
"Hurry, the signal is not that good and it may be cut off at any time."
Li Xiuqing held the phone tremblingly: "Jia Lu, is that you?"
"It's me."
"Are you okay over there?"
"Okay, very good."
Li Xiuqing suddenly thought of something more important.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask your son to tell you a few words." Li Xiuqing picked up the child, put the microphone in front of the child's mouth, and said excitedly: "Fu Bao, hurry up and say a few words to your father."
The little boy was a little confused. He didn't have the concept of "father". Li Xiuqing became anxious on the spot: "Don't you keep saying you miss your father?"
"But my father isn't here."
The little boy looked at the phone with a confused look, but after a while, he came to his senses and said with a cry:
"Dad, I am Fu Bao."
"When will you come back? I miss you so much."
After hearing this, no matter how strong Zhao Jialu was on the other end of the phone, his eyes were red at the moment and tears fell unconsciously.
Zhao Jialu cried and laughed: "Dad, go back soon. You must listen to your mother and your Uncle Li, do you know?"
"I know dad, I am very obedient and Fu Bao is very sensible."
Seeing this scene, Li Duoyu couldn't help but feel sad even though he had been born in two lifetimes. He had also experienced this scene in his previous life.
At that time, Zhou Xiaoying had been frugal for a long time before she was willing to make an international long-distance call to him.
At that time, little Tutu was just like this Fu Bao. The moment he heard the sound and reacted, he immediately burst into tears.
Li Duoyu remembered clearly that his eyes were red all night long. His biggest pain in his previous life was that when his family needed him most, he was no longer around.
At the end of the phone call, Li Duoyu gave Zhao Jialu some instructions.
"When you go out, your life is the most important. You must bring more reliable bodyguards, and you must remember that you must never trust your own people abroad." (End of Chapter)
