356. Chapter 353 The Kelp of Dandan Island Is Different (1/2)
The sea breeze blows the kelp.
Under the sunlight, the color of the kelp hanging on the bamboo rack changed, from a slightly translucent color at the beginning to a dark brown.
In just four days, Li Duoyu harvested 100 acres of kelp and dried it thoroughly.
This time, the kelp harvest was so abundant that many kelp farmers did not have enough to store it at home, so they had to store it in the village committee's warehouse like Li Duoyu did last year.
When Li Duoyu was collecting kelp last year, it was a typhoon day. If Wang Dapao had not been scolded by his leader, he would not have been willing to give the warehouse to Li Duoyu.
And this time, the farmers have not said anything.
Li Duoyu opened the warehouse early and planned a special area for them to store kelp.
This made everyone realize that a village cadre who can take the initiative to think about the villagers and will not drag their feet is really important.
There is really too much kelp. The whole village has a total of more than 500 acres, and each acre has two dense dried kelp after drying.
Even if all the warehouses managed by the village committee are used, it is not enough.
They could only be piled up on the other side of the square, with a layer of wooden boards underneath and colorful plastic sheets covering them.
Each farmer was worshipping Mazu and praying that it would not rain.
Li Duoyu's own 100 acres of kelp filled up the entire eel factory, but it was still not enough, so he could only pile up the cheaper raw vegetables in his own yard.
During the four days of collecting kelp, Li Yaoguo was as tired as a dog, but his second sister-in-law Zhu Xiuhua was very happy, because she earned 60 yuan in these four days alone.
Although my bones were almost falling apart, I felt really good when I got the six big unity.
But I heard that there was also work to cut kelp.
The second sister-in-law said to Li Duoyu without hesitation: "Duoyu, I will do the work in the eel factory. Can this kelp cutting be counted as my wages?"
Seeing the second sister-in-law working so hard.
Li Duoyu was also scared.
He was really afraid that the second sister-in-law's body would not be able to bear it. Although she was in good health, people with good health were the most terrifying.
Once it falls, it really falls.
And these days, the worst is the second brother, and now the second sister-in-law will take him with her when she works.
The second brother, who has no desire to live, really wants to find a well and jump into it when he hears that he still needs to cut kelp.
At this time, many buyers who heard about the bumper harvest of kelp ran to Dandan Island to visit the kelp farmers in person.
But what made these buyers quite depressed was that these farmers on Dandan Island seemed to have a unified tone and did not intend to talk to them, but asked them to go to the village chief.
Because they had previously sponsored the drama performances on Dandan Island for more than half a month with Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, and had signed an agreement with Li Duoyu.
As a direct result, Li Duoyu had to entertain many buyers who wanted to purchase kelp every day.
Although most of the first-class kelp has been confirmed for export, Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company has also booked a lot.
But Li Duoyu still warmly received this group of buyers. After all, these people are potential stocks. Who knows who will become a big boss in the future if they come out to do business now.
When talking to them, Li Duoyu made the same requirements as he did with Xinyuan Aquatic Products and Rongcheng United Commodity Distribution Company.
You can have Dandan Island kelp, but when selling, the packaging must show Dandan Island or Minlong Food.
What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that he was just overthinking.
At this stage, these distributors have no idea about brands.
As long as there is money to be made, they don't mind shouting an extra slogan when selling things, and they are very happy to do it.
"Director Li, even if you don't say it, we would like to say that these kelp are from your Dandan Island."
"That's right, now your Dandan Island products are very popular. Once I was in the market and saw a man selling duck eggs. No one bought them at first, but later he said they were Dandan Island sea duck eggs, and they were directly sold out."
After hearing this, Li Duoyu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but what they said was true.
The reputation of Dandan Island has been spread. Next, we need to let everyone know that there is a Minlong Food on Dandan Island.
When the kelp of Dandan Island was harvested, other fishing villages in Shangfeng Town that cultivated kelp also harvested it.
A pot-bellied manager was buying kelp in Shangqi Village, but he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the kelp brought by the villagers.
The kelp in Shangqi Village had too much sand and was full of holes.
It was not dried very dry, and it would probably go moldy and deteriorate if it was not kept for too long.
An Yuliang looked at the kelp in front of him, shook his head and sighed. Compared with the kelp purchased from Li Duoyu last year, the quality control was really too bad.
"Your first-class ones can only be sold for 10 cents, the second-class ones are 8 cents, and the raw ones are 5 cents."
After hearing this offer, Zhou, the secretary of Shangqi Village, had a very dark face.
"Manager An, this is different from the price Xiao Lin told us at the beginning. Director Li from Xiasha Village also said that his kelp was sold for 1 cent last year."
An Yuliang frowned and told the truth:
"The quality of your kelp is really too different. Their kelp is so clean, but yours is either broken or full of holes, and there is so much sand. The quality of this first-class kelp is not up to standard."
Xiao Lin, who was following behind Manager An, also frowned. He thought he had won a big order for the master, but he didn't expect to send a big bomb to the master.
Now he finally understood why the manager valued Director Li so much and why he wanted to cooperate with him so much.
Shangqi Village Party Secretary Zhou picked up the kelp and said:
"What's the difference?"
"They are all raised in the same sea area and dried in the same sun. How can they be different? Manager An, you can't cheat us."
An Yuliang said helplessly: "Party Secretary Zhou, if you don't believe me, I suggest you go to Dandan Island to see their kelp."
Zhou Zhiyuan frowned. Their Shangqi Village also cultivated more than 200 acres of kelp this year. If he can't sell it at a good price, he, the village party secretary, will be embarrassed.
"Manager An, how about this? First-class kelp is 1.1 cents, second-class kelp is 9 cents, and raw kelp is 6 cents. What do you think?"
An Yuliang said: "There is no other way. By then, everyone's kelp will be sold on the market. For your level, you can only reduce the price to increase sales."
"Manager An, if you say this, it will be difficult for me as the village party secretary to live. I have already told the villagers."
An Yuliang said helplessly:
"Party Secretary Zhou, you have to understand me. We said before that the quality must meet the standard. It's not that I am unreasonable. It's really that the quality of your kelp is too poor." Zhou Zhiyuan sighed. In fact, before this, many kelp buyers came to him.
But after seeing the kelp, the price they offered was lower than that of Manager An.
What is said, the quality is not half as good as that of Dandan Island. When Zhou Zhiyuan heard this at first, he was quite unconvinced.
So he asked someone to go to Dandan Island and buy some scattered kelp back, and then he found that the difference was quite large.
The kelp produced in Dandan Island is indeed thicker and fatter, and the edges are quite flat and there are no holes. It is visibly better than theirs.
They are all raised in the same way, but the ones they produce are a bit horrible.
This makes Zhou Zhiyuan feel that Li Duoyu must have mastered some core breeding techniques and is unwilling to tell everyone.
"Okay, then this price."
Seeing Manager An's hesitation, Zhou Zhiyuan quickly agreed first, because even if they sell at this price, they will make a lot of money, but not as much as Dandan Island.
Seeing that Secretary Zhou agreed to this offer, Xiao Lin's heart was bleeding. Since he saw the kelp from Shangqi Village, he has always hoped that Secretary Zhou would not accept this offer, and it would be best if the two sides parted unhappily.
Unexpectedly, the other party accepted it.
Xiao Lin apologized in a low voice: "Master, I'm sorry, I dragged you down this time."
An Yuliang smiled.
"Have you learned anything this time?"
Xiao Lin thought for a while and nodded: "I have learned that when doing business, try to cooperate with reliable and disciplined people. Not all business is good business."
An Yuliang just took out a cigarette.
Xiao Lin immediately struck a match to light the master's cigarette.
An Yuliang continued: "In the future, you can observe more and see which type of people are more reliable when doing things."
Xiao Lin grinned:
"Of course, the master is the most reliable."
An Yuliang squinted and said: "It's useless to talk sweetly. This time, you will write the acquisition report when you go back. You will report the specific situation to the leader."
Xiao Lin was stunned.
"Master, don't be like this. I am really afraid of our boss. He will lecture for an afternoon. Maybe he will ask me to hold a special review meeting."
An Yuliang rolled his eyes and said: "If you don't review, should I review?"
Xiao Lin:.
On the third day after the kelp was dried.
A 40-meter iron-hulled cargo ship stopped outside the fishing port of Dandan Island.
The cargo ship wanted to stop at the Dandan Island fishing port.
However, since the Dandan Island wharf was built after liberation, it was not expected that there would be such a large fishing boat at that time.
The draft is not particularly deep.
In addition, the wharf was not well managed before, and fishermen often dumped oyster shells into the fishing port, causing the fishing port to become shallower.
The largest ship in the village is the trawler of Uncle San, which is only more than 20 meters long and often breaks down in the fishing port.
If this more than 40-meter cargo ship enters the port, it may be directly stranded. At that time, it will be impossible to get out for less than ten days and half a month.
When it just entered the port, it was immediately stopped by the fishermen at the wharf. In the end, the cargo ship could only anchor more than 50 meters away from the wharf.
And behind this large cargo ship.
There is also a 30-meter iron-hulled ship, which also dares not enter the port and can only stop outside the fishing port.
Unlike the big ship in front, this iron-hulled ship of more than 30 meters is not owned by a private enterprise. There are three conspicuous characters "Fisheries Bureau" printed near the bow.
Ever since he saw the two iron-hulled ships, Li Duoyu knew who was coming.
At the same time,
there were also many kelp farmers gathered at the dock. They were all very excited. They had been raising kelp for half a year and were waiting for this moment.
Seeing that they were all so happy, Li Duoyu said disdainfully: "Why are you still standing there? The boss who collects kelp is here. Hurry up and move the kelp here. Do you want the boss to come to your house to collect it in person?"
Hearing this, the kelp farmers came to their senses and went home to pull the bundled kelp over with carts.
After a while.
Half of the dock was full of kelp.
After the two big ships dropped anchor, Li Duoyu hurriedly drove the fishing boat to pick them up, otherwise the bosses who bought kelp would have to drift on the sea.
The more than 40-meter-long ship with "Minrong 057" printed on it is the largest cargo ship of Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company.
When Li Duoyu's fishing boat approached, Chen Yuansu was already waiting for him on the deck.
The people on the boat this time were all familiar faces, people who had been to Dandan Island before.
Chen Yuansu wore a relatively plain dress, with two white pearls on her earrings. When she saw Li Duoyu, she smiled and greeted him.
"Director Li, long time no see."
Li Duoyu smiled and nodded.
The last time I met Chen Yuansu was four months ago. At that time, she felt like a big girl.
But in just four months, Li Duoyu felt that Chen Yuansu had matured a lot.
Zhao Jialu on another boat was different. When he saw Li Duoyu, he waved his hands desperately and shouted:
"Brother Yu, did you miss me?"
"Finally I saw your fishing boat. It's so damn beautiful. Oh, your dock is not good for draft. Come and pick me up."
Li Duoyu smiled.
Zhao Jialu, a child from a big courtyard, has always been very jumpy, but everyone doesn't dislike him very much.
The most important thing is that he has the capital to jump. Even if he is not steady, no one will say anything bad about him except his parents and wife. (End of this chapter)
