Chapter 12 Negotiation (Seeking Investment and Follow-Up Reading)

After arriving at the reception room.

Chen Dongqing looked at Li Duoyu in front of him. Except for the afro cut off, in his eyes, he still had the same careless image.

His head was full of confusion, and he couldn't understand why the usually stern Section Chief Zhang would praise Li Duoyu: "Duoyu, what did the leaders talk to you just now?"

"We didn't talk much, just asked me some questions about farming on the island."

"You're not talking nonsense."

"Do I look like the kind of person who talks nonsense?"

Chen Dongqing looked at Li Duoyu doubtfully, feeling that he seemed to have changed, but he didn't know where.

Forget it, just don't cause any trouble.

However, even if he gets into trouble, for a well-organized job like him, the most he can do is get scolded by the section chief, and things will turn around very quickly.

After get off work, Chen Dongqing picked up the bags containing small seafood and left the research institute.

But what puzzled him was that the janitor who looked at everyone with a domineering attitude actually smiled and greeted them warmly after seeing Li Duoyu.

What a hell.

This kid had been here for less than two hours, but he was already familiar with so many people.

Li Duoyu and Chen Dongqing walked for a while.

I came to a nearby self-employed restaurant called Yuebin. Normally, in the early 1980s, there were very few self-employed restaurants, and most of them were state-owned.

But Lianjiang County is a bit special. In recent years, the "smuggling" activities in Shangfeng Town have directly boosted the local food and accommodation economy. Anyone who wants to go to Shangfeng Town will stop here.

The state-owned hotels could not accommodate so many people, and good policies were adopted at this time, so there was the first person to try it. As a result, in less than two years, the county was full of restaurants and various hotels. .

The streets were very lively with people coming and going.

Chen Dongqing stood under the handwritten menu in the restaurant and hesitated for a while before ordering to the boss:

"A portion of steamed yellow croaker, fried pork belly, a portion of water spinach, and two bottles of Rongcheng beer."

After ordering, Chen Dongqing returned to his seat and asked Li Duoyu, "Do you have a place to stay tonight? Do you want me to make arrangements for you?"

Chen Dongqing didn't want to say this.

Because he doesn't have enough room for himself, he has been living in a dormitory arranged by his employer since his marriage. He, his wife and three children are squeezed into a small house of more than 40 square meters.

But there is no other way. As the only college student on the island, he has to live up to his reputation. Especially when receiving relatives, you can't be vague. Otherwise, when you return to the island to promote it, where will you put your face?

In fact, in this era, many rural people working hard in the city are most afraid of relatives from the village coming over.

"Don't bother, I'll stay at the hotel tonight."

Li Duoyu replied.

After hearing this, Chen Dongqing breathed a sigh of relief:

"Since you have a place to live, I won't force you."

Li Duoyu, who has lived in two generations, is very bright and has already known the basic situation of his brother-in-law's family.

You are bright and beautiful in front of others, but you know your warmth and warmth behind others.

Although my brother-in-law's salary was good at this time, since he was starting from scratch and the wedding would cost a lot of money, he didn't have much money in his pocket.

He probably has to be careful when ordering these dishes. If his wife finds out when he goes back, he might be nagged for a long time.

As for my uncle's economic situation, it was almost until the 1990s when the breeding industry developed. If I remember correctly, he was later transferred to the province and became a big official.

Later, after his mother Chen Huiying left, the two families lost contact, and over time, there was no contact between them.

When the two of them were eating and drinking.

Li Duoyu finally got to the point: "I want to ask you something, at what stage is your research on summer kelp seedlings?"

This question startled Chen Dongqing: "Duoyu, who did you hear that we are studying summer kelp seedlings?"

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment. He spoke too quickly and said some things that he shouldn't have said, so he had no choice but to say carelessly:

"I was in the reception room just now, listening to what the leaders said."

"You almost scared me to death. Only the people in our institute know about this matter. Although it will be made public sooner or later, it is still confidential. You must not talk about it everywhere."

"Don't worry, I'm very strict with my mouth."

Li Duoyu chuckled: "By the way, how about these summer seedlings? I have stopped selling them recently and plan to start breeding them on Dandan Island."

Chen Dongqing looked at Li Duoyu in front of him in puzzlement. He didn't know why. When he saw him this time, he felt very awkward. He always felt that something was wrong.

Unexpectedly, he stopped even selling goods. Originally, he wanted to tell him that the superiors had sent a special team down to deal with smuggling on the high seas and asked him to restrain himself. Well, there was no need to talk about it now.

Chen Dongqing drank a glass of beer:

"If you don't steal the goods, what else can you do? Xiaoying is still pregnant, so you can't rely on her to support you."

Li Duoyu took two bites of the extremely fragrant pork belly. Pork is much more expensive than seafood in coastal areas. The market price of this kind of pork belly is more than one piece per pound, which can be exchanged for several pounds of large yellow croaker.

After eating a few mouthfuls of meat, he took the beer bottle and drank closely:

"I came to the county to find you just to find a way out. I just opened the skylight and said, next, I plan to engage in kelp farming. I hope the research institute can provide me with some kelp seedlings and convenience."

"You want to engage in kelp farming?" Chen Dongqing was shocked.

"Um."

"Alas, we are all family, I won't lie to you. Our kelp cultivation technology is not very mature now, and the risk of kelp cultivation is still quite high."

Li Duoyu looked at Chen Dongqing in front of him: "Why, you have studied for so many years, and you can't even cultivate kelp?"

Hearing this, Chen Dongqing raised his head suddenly and said angrily:

"You think cultivation is so simple? Kelp is suitable for growing in the north. There will be many problems in our south, and these problems need to be summarized."

He has not encountered bottlenecks in his recent research, but he has encountered difficulties in other places.

Since the batch of kelp promoted in Dandan Island two years ago was killed by those farmers, no fishermen near the coast are willing to raise it anymore.

In addition, the sales of goods have become popular in the past two years, and most of the farmers have also gone to sell goods. After making money, many of them are unwilling to do this hard and tiring work.

The promotion progress is very slow.

Since he is from Dandan Island, the director gave him an order a few months ago, asking him to find a few farmers to complete the kelp cultivation project anyway.

If it was an outsider who talked to him about this today, Chen Dongqing would have wanted the other party to raise more and only talk about the good things.

But Li Duoyu is different. He is a family member. If the breeding fails and he loses a lot of money, the relationship between the two families may become very stiff.

Li Duoyu saw Chen Dongqing's bitter face and knew that he was indecisive again. He picked up the beer bottle and finished it in one breath:

"I am willing to take the risk to breed kelp, but you don't have the courage to let me raise it. You are so cowardly."

Seeing Li Duoyu swearing, Chen Dongqing felt that the familiar bastard was back again. He drank the bottle of beer on the table and cursed back on the spot:

"I am your uncle and I am worried about you. If it were someone else, I would not care about your life or death."

"You are worried about my wife Zhou Xiaoying, right? Thank you. You don't need to worry about my wife. I have raised her to be plump and white, and she is getting more and more beautiful."

"Fuck Damn it, you are bringing up all kinds of issues."

"If you don't agree, come and force me to drink."

"Boss, give me another ten bottles of beer."

Half an hour later, the two of them were drunk and their faces were red. Chen Dongqing also took off his disguise as a top student, rolled up his sleeves and started smoking:

"Duoyu, do you really dare to take the risk to raise kelp?"

Li Duoyu, who also blushed, said seriously: "Isn't this nonsense? I'm not a three-year-old child. It's not our turn to do something that has no risks and can make a lot of money."

"Okay, come to my company tomorrow and I'll take you to the breeding base."
