344. Chapter 342 Prices Have Risen (1/2)
After Li Duoyu left the town committee.
Chen Shulin said:
"Lao Gao, do you feel that Xiao Li is a little different from other young people? When he talks to us, he acts like someone of the same generation. There is not such a big gap."
Gao Tianyun, who was smoking, said:
"Let's just pretend. She is obviously three or four years younger than my Jingjing. She pretends to be mature all day long. She likes to be with us old men all day long."
Chen Shulin smiled and said, "But why don't I feel like I'm just pretending?"
Gao Tianyun frowned and said, "It's useless to talk about this, Comrade Shulin. The wind power project has definitely landed in the island county next door. Why didn't you tell Li Duoyu about it?"
Chen Shulin thought for a while and then said: "That guy might be better informed than us. He knows about this project. Do you think he doesn't know about the launch?"
"However, the electricity supply on their island is indeed a problem. To be honest, I admire this guy very much. He really cares about the people in his own village."
Gao Tianyun sighed:
"He is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. How can we help him solve this problem?"
"Twenty years ago, you were not like this. Besides, our country had nothing at the beginning. There are many impossible things. If we don't work hard, they will be impossible."
Gao Yuntian took a drag on his cigarette: "I know my destiny at fifty, and that's pretty much it for the rest of my life. Maybe I won't even have a grandson."
Chen Shulin patted his shoulder:
"Then pave the way for young people. The reason why I stay is that I feel that Shangfeng Town has great development potential. In addition to fishery, I also plan to develop the textile industry."
"We still have a textile foundation in Shangfeng Town. Would you like to follow me to visit those small workshops next week?"
"sure."
Li Duoyu left the town committee.
No, he returned directly to Dandan Island and went to the market in the town.
Naturally, he is also very aware that it is difficult for wind power projects to be implemented on Dandan Island.
In a short period of time, domestic wind power generation technology is still immature and relies on wind turbines donated by foreign countries.
But you still have to fight for what you should fight for.
Maybe, shit is lucky.
The next wind power test site will be on Dandan Island.
The fishermen on Dandan Island have made a lot of money in the past two years, and the more electrical equipment they have purchased at home.
This year, many people bought refrigerators, washing machines and TVs.
And after there are too many electrical appliances.
Dandan Island has no electricity supply at all, and the old Soviet-made diesel engine is simply not enough for the people in the village.
In the last couple of months.
At night, when everyone turns on all the lights, there will be insufficient power, and the lights will flicker on and off.
It burned out the lights in many people's homes, and those who were following Huang Rihua's version of the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" series saw the most exciting moments several times.
The TV was immediately turned off.
The people who follow the drama were so anxious that they went door to door and asked them to turn off refrigerators, washing machines, and high-power electrical appliances.
Because of this incident, two families in the village had a fight.
Not only was the daily life of the villagers affected, but Li Duoyu's eel breeding factory also suffered.
Li Duoyu bought two small diesel generators to barely be able to move his equipment.
Fortunately, diesel is quite cheap now, otherwise the money earned would not be enough to pay for the fuel for power generation.
The current electricity problem on the island has become a major obstacle restricting the development of Dandan Island.
If the electricity problem cannot be solved, it will be really difficult for the breeding industry to become bigger and stronger.
Before,
Li Duoyu also wanted to build a fishmeal factory, but without electricity, that was simply impossible.
If this continues, fishermen who have made money will definitely choose to leave Tandan Island.
In the previous life, many boat owners and farmers on Dandan Island made money, so they all went to the city to buy houses. By the time Li Duoyu came back from the island country, there were no young people left on the island.
If we follow the progress of the previous life, after Dandan Island got a thousand years and laid submarine cables, the electricity problem was completely solved.
If we calculate it this way, Li Duoyu will have to endure more than ten years of being short of electricity every day. Thinking about it gives him a headache.
Of course he understood what Secretary Chen said. Although he often appeared in newspapers, the leaders also came to inspect several times.
But Dandan Island is too small, and the income of the entire Xiasha Village in a year is actually only a little.
A random company in the city might make more money in a year than the whole village combined.
If we want freedom from electricity as soon as possible, we really need to develop the entire Dandan Island industry.
If you want to become bigger and stronger, it is not suitable for one company to be the only one. Li Duoyu plans to make money for two years first and then teach some less core farming techniques.
For example, the technology of keeping oysters healthy,
Abalone farming technology,
There are also techniques for raising blue crabs.
This time he went to the Zhoushan Islands. The fishing boats passed by Sanmen County in Taizhou to fish, and then he remembered the Sanmen blue crabs there.
In this era, blue crabs are also valuable goods. Because they are difficult to catch, the output has not been very high.
The blue crabs on Dandan Island are almost finished by the Zhao brothers. Recently, the two brothers have not caught any big blue crabs anymore. They are all crabs that have not grown up.
In addition, the public believes that it is a good tonic, and some people use it as a folk remedy to treat some symptoms, which also leads to its price not being cheaper than that of yellow croaker.
Next, it is the season for crab seedlings, and a month later, Li Duoyu's eels will be shipped.
It happened to be a window period for breeding, and Li Duoyu thought, just try to breed some blue crabs.
After all, this thing is durable and can live for a long time even out of water, and people in Rongcheng like to eat this thing.
Li Duoyu thinks that the sales should be good and it is completely possible.
However, if you want to breed blue crabs.
You still have to solve the problem of crab ponds first. In the previous life, Dandan Island directly reclaimed the tidal flats.
The amount of this project is not less than that of digging eel ponds at the beginning, but Li Duoyu thinks it is still valuable.
As long as it is reclaimed, even if you don't raise blue crabs, you can also breed various shellfish and shrimps.
As for the problem of occupying tidal flats and destroying the environment, Li Duoyu is too lazy to think about it. After all, if you don't destroy it, the islanders will help you destroy it in the future.
In this age where everything is about money, let's make the wallets of people around us fatter first.
Li Duoyu squatted on the curb, holding a bowl of hot salty tofu pudding in his hand. After taking a sip, he said:
"Boss, is your salty tofu pudding less than before? I remember it was a big bowl with a lot of ingredients before."
The tofu pudding seller sighed:
"The price of soybeans has increased this year, and the price I sell is still the same, so the quantity is naturally reduced."
"Is that so."
Li Duoyu was stunned, as if he could clearly feel the continuous rise in prices after the beginning of spring this year.
The purchase price of seafood has obviously increased, and many daily necessities have also increased in price.
Along with the rapid growth of GDP, the great unity has also ushered in depreciation.
And this time is the watershed.
If a millionaire deposits money in the bank and does not circulate it, it will not take ten years for him to return to poverty.
He suffered this loss back then. He kept all the money he earned from working in the island country in the bank, thinking about earning interest.
I could have bought a building in downtown Rongcheng, but in the end I could only afford a school district house.
"Boss, give me another bowl of sweet."
"Okay, I seem to remember you. The last time you came, you also ate a bowl of salty first, then a bowl of sweet."
Li Duoyu smiled. In fact, he is a typical sweet party: "Salty first, then sweet, it tastes sweeter this way."
"Then do you dip your lychees in soy sauce?"
"Of course."
After eating two bowls of tofu pudding, Li Duoyu felt warm all over.
"Let's go, boss, I'll come to eat your tofu pudding next time."
"I'm also going to close the stall."
Just when the boss told him that the price of soybeans had risen, Li Duoyu had already made clear the future development direction.
Who cares about so much, anyway, do it hard, spend money if you have it, as long as you don't put the money in the bank. The scallops of Zhangzidao will run away, but his eels and blue crabs will definitely not run away.
Next month,
Start to reclaim the tidal flats.
First, we need to build a breeding land of more than ten acres.
After eating tofu pudding, Li Duoyu found that the owner of the tofu pudding stall was already packing up and preparing to close the stall.
There were few vendors on the market side, and most of them were preparing to go back.
Li Duoyu walked a few steps and came to a shop that sold cloth.
Li Duoyu planned to take Zhou Xiaoying back to her hometown during the summer vacation. It would be best if he could "return home in glory".
Since Xiaoying knew that he had borrowed so much money, she has become more and more stingy and even reluctant to buy clothes.
In the shop, coarse cloth and cotton cloth were placed in the front, mostly in the most common four colors of white, black, blue and gray.
And the ones hanging inside were the colorful "Dacron", which was very popular in this era.
It was called a symbol of fashion.
The young people in Rongcheng liked this kind of cloth very much because it was not easy to wrinkle and would not shrink after washing.
The most important thing was that the colors were colorful enough.
It was beautiful enough.
Young people nowadays like it very much, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, it is not breathable. When wearing it in summer, the experience is very bad. It is not breathable and very uncomfortable. The armpits are full of sweat.
There is a middle-aged man wearing reading glasses in the store, stepping on a sewing machine, sewing clothes for people.
He lowered his head, letting his reading glasses fall down, then glanced at the young man at the door of the store, and said with some surprise:
"Duoyu!"
Li Duoyu grinned and said, "Uncle Ma, it's been a long time since we last met. You don't look much different."
"How can I not be older? I have a lot more white hair."
The middle-aged man stood up and looked at Li Duoyu: "I haven't seen you for more than a year. How come you have become so dark?"
"I'm just a fisherman. How can I not be dark? By the way, Uncle Ma, how is the business in the store recently?"
Ma Youcai said helplessly: "You can see that you are the only customer. Now the business is not as good as before."
Li Duoyu remembered that when the goods were popular two years ago, Uncle Ma's fabric store was very popular. If you wanted to buy imported fabrics, you had to queue up. Fabrics were sold in bundles.
It was really easy to make money back then. Even though it has been almost two years since the last big sweep, there are still many people in the town who have not come out.
"What kind of fabric do you want to buy?"
Li Duoyu glanced at the cotton cloth. Although everyone in later generations liked to wear cotton cloth again, the cotton cloth of this era was not as soft as imagined. On the contrary, it was a bit rough.
Fishermen don't like this kind of absorbent fabric. The scariest thing is that if you wear cotton to fish, the clothes will always have a fishy smell that can't be washed away.
After Li Duoyu looked around at the fabric, he asked in a low voice: "Uncle Ma, do you still have any goods here?"
Ma Youcai frowned and hesitated for a while: "You come into my store first."
After Li Duoyu entered the store.
Ma Youcai turned on the lights in the shop and temporarily closed the shop with a few wooden boards.
"You come with me."
Then, he took Li Duoyu out of the back door of the store and came to a small warehouse behind the store.
A "click" sound.
Uncle Ma turned on the lights in the warehouse.
Li Duoyu discovered that there were many very beautiful fabrics stored in this warehouse, and he knew that these were imported goods without even thinking.
Ma Youcai introduced:
"This is from Hong Kong Island, this is from the island country, this is Oxford cloth, and there are some ready-made jeans."
Although the crackdown on smuggling is very strict, there are still many desperate fishermen along the coast. After all, this thing is much more profitable than fishing.
"Uncle Ma, you have a lot of work. It's quite dangerous to do this now."
Ma Youcai sighed:
"Originally I didn't want to do it, but many old customers still come to me to buy goods. As I continue to do it, I accidentally make it bigger. If we hadn't known each other for a long time, to be honest, I really wouldn't dare to sell to you."
After looking at several imported fabrics, Li Duoyu found two solid-color ones and said, "Uncle Ma, give me ten meters of each of these two styles."
Ma Youcai said: "I told you in advance that things are different now. These imported cloths are not cheap."
"No problem, just cut it, no matter how expensive it is, I can afford it."
"Are you getting rich?"
Li Duoyu smiled and said, "I'm not getting rich either. I just made a little money fishing."
"Then I'll cut it off."
When Uncle Ma was cutting fabric, Li Duoyu saw an unexpected little thing in his small warehouse.
Li Duoyu picked it up and saw that it was a well-packaged "Walkman" made by Sanyo.
"Uncle Ma, you still have this to sell."
Ma Youcai took a look and said, "This is from previous inventory. The price is too expensive and it has never been sold."
"How much does this one cost?"
Ma Youcai rolled his eyes at him: "You were in this business back then, so you didn't know how much this machine costs."
Li Duoyu scratched his head: "I forgot."
Ma Youcai said: "This Walkman, when I first purchased it, I already asked for 20 units."
"I remember it wasn't that expensive."
Ma Youcai said with a hint of disgust: "If it wasn't expensive, I wouldn't have bought it. I bought ten units in total, but I couldn't sell this one."
"Hey, if you can't sell it, just sell it to me cheaply."
"If you really want it, I can give you one hundred and eighty."
"One hundred and fifty."
"If I give you one hundred and fifty, I will lose fifty."
"Uncle Ma, you can't calculate like this. If you keep failing to sell it, this thing will break sooner or later. Don't say you will lose fifty by then, you will lose two hundred."
"Then one hundred and seventeen."
"Okay, deal."
"You kid, alas! You still love to take advantage as before."
"Everyone likes to take advantage, okay? Besides, instead of throwing this thing away, you might as well sell it to me."
The Walkman is very useful. When he first arrived in the island country, young people in the streets often carried a Walkman in their trouser pockets.
And this thing can not only be played externally, but also has headphones. In this era, it is definitely a luxury product.
At the same time, it is also a symbol of fashion, whoever has a Walkman hanging around his waist and a pair of headphones.
That's a 100% return rate.
You don’t have to pick up girls at all, they will just come over and talk to you.
The reason why Li Duoyu spent money on this luxury item was not to pick up girls.
It's because Xiaoying's birthday will be in two days.
I feel ashamed to say that I have known her for two lifetimes and I have never celebrated her birthday even once.
Xiaoying just happens to like listening to music, especially Cantonese songs and Hokkien songs.
And with this Walkman, even if she listens to music while taking a break in the office, it will not affect others.
But what troubles Li Duoyu is that if he buys her such an expensive thing, she will definitely scold him for spending money indiscriminately.
What a headache! (End of chapter)
