374. Chapter 370 Of Course We Need Foreign Exchange Certificates

Chapter 370 Of course, we need foreign exchange coupons

After the two sides reached an agreement.

The next step is to catch the eels in the pond.

All the employees of Minlong Food, including their relatives and the kelp farmers, all took the initiative to help Li Duoyu on this day.

Li Duoyu first gathered the eels with feed, and then everyone directly used the scoop net to fish up the eels that came to eat the bait.

But this method cannot catch all the eels in the pond.

Li Duoyu could only ask Chen Wenchao to drain the pond water, and the villagers who came to help saw that there were journalists and photographers taking pictures.

Everyone rolled up their trouser legs, some held scoop nets, and some held dustpans to fish, working hard to fish.

Seeing them working so hard, Lao Li frowned and said, "Be gentle when you scoop, the dustpan is very sharp, don't cut the eel skin."

"Also, you, don't run in the pond, or you'll step on the eel to death."

And the second brother Li Yaoguo, as well as the fishmongers such as Uncle Zhuang and Old Man Mi, who are better at arithmetic, are responsible for counting the number and weight of the eels.

The weighed eels are all packed in large wooden barrels, moved to the trawler of Uncle San by manpower, and finally transported to the live fish warehouse of the big ship.

The whole process of catching and transporting is very time-consuming. It took four hours to catch them, and it was dark. Only about 20,000 eels were caught, and more than half of them were not caught.

And because the generator on Dandan Island was broken, there was no light at the dock after dark, only a few bonfires.

The county leaders, who were just going through the motions, took group photos and important news photos, exchanged greetings with reporters, and then returned to the county first.

Wu Yuping also backed out because the accommodation conditions on Dandan Island were too poor.

"Duoyu, I'm going back first. I'll come back tomorrow morning. You should hold the people down first, otherwise they will run away when I come back early tomorrow morning."

Li Duoyu smiled and said, "It's not easy to keep them. I'll catch them slowly and guarantee that I'll catch all the eels tomorrow morning."

"You kid, there are so many crooked ways."

"It's mainly because the leaders taught you well."

"I didn't teach you, don't throw dirty water on me."

Li Duoyu smiled. Speaking of it, he was really lucky. There were many noble people who helped him along the way.

This reminded Li Duoyu of what some old people in his previous life once said:

As long as you take the right path, the road will become wider and wider, but if you take the wrong path, there will naturally be monsters and ghosts around you.

Li Duoyu and his team took a rest in the middle of the night. The next day, at dawn, everyone continued to help catch eels.

The next day, the county leaders did not come. Only the leaders of the Fisheries Bureau and the Foreign Exchange Administration Branch, the top two leaders of Shangfeng Town, and the town credit union and the police station came.

And these people are the ones who really do the work.

After yesterday's simple communication, the staff of the Rongcheng Foreign Exchange Administration Branch roughly learned how much the eels on Dandan Island could be sold for.

After returning last night, they immediately reported to their superiors. When the leaders of the bureau learned the amount, they were also shocked.

Today, I personally carried a large iron box to Dandan Island, and also called the police station of Shangfeng Town to accompany me.

Almost, around eight o'clock in the morning.

The 60,000 eels were finally caught, and the villagers who came to help turned into mud figures, sitting by the pond and smoking.

After catching the eels.

Next is the verification link. As an accountant, Li Yaoguo was also called by Li Duoyu to help check the number and weight of the eels.

The two sides confirmed several times that the total weight of 60,000 eels was 15.3 kelps, and the price per kelp was exactly 10,000.

The moment he heard this price, Li Yaoguo was stunned. He had known for a long time that the price of eels was very high, but he didn't expect it to be so high.

In addition to eels, Li Duoyu also checked the export kelp with Oda Norio and his team.

Unexpectedly, the price of first-class kelp produced in Dandan Island was not cheap either, reaching one yuan per catty, which was twice the local market price.

Li Yaoguo simply calculated that the price of kelp exported from Dandan Island this year was about four or five hundred per mu.

And Li Duoyu alone had more than 150 mu of kelp, and this item alone brought him nearly 70,000 in income.

If eels were added.

Li Yaoguo suddenly felt a little dazed. The fourth brother was not only the richest man on the island, but also the richest man in Shangfeng Town.

Thinking of how he had to humble himself to his wife for a pack of cigarettes that cost less than 20 cents, Li Yaoguo couldn't help but sigh. How could the gap between people be so big?

But what he didn't understand was that in the past, Duoyu would definitely not tell him how much the eels and kelp sold for. But recently, he found that Lao Si seemed to be planning to help him make money.

He was also asked to raise blue crabs together, and he was also asked to participate in such a core matter as accounts. It seems that Lao Si should have let down his guard against him.

Li Yaoguo also knew that he had no ambition, but having no ambition did not mean that he was lazy. He still did his duty very clearly.

In fact, he and Chen Wenchao were the same kind of people. They were the kind of people who didn't know how to make money without anyone to lead them.

The best way out for people like them is to find a big leg that can make money and hold on to it tightly.

Moreover, Lao Si's network of relationships has been spread out, and he is still on the right path. In the future, even if he is bad, he won't be too bad.

After checking the eels.

Li Yaoguo said: "Duoyu, I've checked it. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Okay, you've been busy all night, go and have a rest."

Next, it's the checkout and payment stage. Because the amount is large, the other party pays in Japanese yen, and there is also the issue of exchange rate. It must be converted into local currency before it can be consumed domestically.

This is also the reason why the leader of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange came in person. The director surnamed Jin asked a female employee: "Xiao Jiang, what is the exchange rate with Japanese yen."

"1 to 85."

After both parties determined the exchange rate, Oda Norio took out a locked suitcase, opened it, and handed the Japanese yen that had been prepared in it to the staff of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange.

And the staff member named Xiao Jiang directly sampled the Japanese yen and shone it with a small flashlight.

"Leader, no problem."

"Then start counting the money."

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the two female employees pointed their fingers quickly, and their speed was not inferior to the money counting machine at all.

While counting the money, Li Duoyu visited the live fish transport ship. There were ten rectangular live fish tanks in total.

Each tank was four meters deep, two meters wide, and five meters long. Bubbles kept coming out from the bottom of the live fish tanks, and Li Duoyu's 60,000 eels were in these ten tanks.

The ship was also equipped with two long-arm cranes. Li Duoyu really wanted such a ship. If there was such a live fish transport ship.

He would dare to breed abalone in the north.

In the previous life, after the efforts of countless scientific researchers, the experience summarized was that the best way to breed abalone is to breed it in the north and south.

In summer, abalone from the southern waters is transported to the north to spend the summer.

In winter, the northern waters are too cold, and abalone is pulled to the southern waters to spend the winter. This not only ensures the survival rate of abalone, but also allows abalone to eat continuously at a comfortable temperature.

In less than fifteen minutes, the staff counted a whole box of Japanese yen twice, and then told Oda Norio the specific amount.

When he heard the exact amount, Oda Norio was shocked.

"Mr. Li, how did they do it?"

Li Duoyu smiled and replied, "They are the best money counters in our country."

There is no such equipment as money counters in China now, and money counting is a skill often used in competitions.

With the help of the Foreign Exchange Administration Branch, Li Duoyu completed the kelp and eel transaction.

And Oda Norio wanted to transport the eels back alive, so after paying the money, he hurriedly left Dandan Island.

Before leaving.

Li Duoyu gave Oda Norio five jars of green and red wine in his personal name.

After the big ship left, the kelp farmers on Dandan Island gathered at the dock, holding a piece of white paper with the village committee's seal on it.

They were ready to receive the money.

Director Jin smiled and said, "Fellow villagers, do you plan to receive cash or foreign exchange coupons?"

The kelp farmers said in unison:

"Of course we need foreign exchange coupons."

"I knew you would say that."
