Chapter 436 I Found a Fanboy (1/2)

Making money in this age without the Internet is not as easy as it was in previous lives.

Just "ding".

The money has arrived.

Commonly used by ordinary people are letter transfer or wire transfer. Li Duoyu also sent money to Li Xiaorong, who was studying abroad.

Credit remittance is relatively cheaper. After you give the money to the savings bank, the other party will give you a remittance slip.

Just send the remittance slip in an envelope and let the other party pick it up with the remittance slip.

But in this day and age, remittances take a long time, and it often takes more than a week or two to get the money.

In addition, the procedures are troublesome and the handling fees are extremely expensive. Many people like to secretly stuff money into envelopes and send them directly.

As for wire transfer, after you deposit the money, the staff will send the remittance information by telegram. This summary method is faster, but the handling fee is also more expensive.

However, for a large order like Li Duoyu's, and because the Rongcheng aquatic product processing plant is state-owned, it would be even more troublesome to first transfer the money to his Minlong Food company account. Only a regulated agreement will do.

Next,

Li Duoyu and factory director Liu Zhengyuan signed a [Clove Fish Purchase Agreement].

Immediately afterwards,

The person in charge of finance at the aquatic product processing factory has to go to the savings bank to handle the remittance and hand the remittance receipt to Li Duoyu.

But even if he got the remittance receipt, Li Duoyu couldn't get the money immediately because the remittance took a long time.

Especially for such large sums of money, they must undergo strict scrutiny.

In short, in this age without the Internet, bank transfers and the like are really not as useful as cash.

After both parties sign the agreement.

Factory Director Liu Zhengyuan stretched out his hand and said: "It's a pleasure to cooperate. I will ask the finance department to remit the money immediately. It may take more than a week to arrive."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "It seems that this time, I have to let the villagers give me a cushion first."

"That shouldn't be the case. Those of us who are exporting companies still know how much money you made from the batch of eels you exported."

Li Duoyu grinned: "Director Liu, I really have no money. The little money I earned was all invested."

Liu Zhengyuan gave him a disgusted look: "We are all one of our own. You don't need to cry poverty with me or do business with me. Don't worry, I won't miss you a penny of the money I should give you."

Li Duoyu grinned and said, "With your words, I feel relieved. This small business of mine cannot withstand strong winds and waves."

While Li Duoyu and Factory Director Liu were signing the supplementary agreement, more than two hundred baskets of cloves had been unloaded from the ship.

Li Duoyu looked at his watch.

It was around nine o'clock in the morning, and the tide had already receded by half. The pier on Dandan Island had no water, so it was impossible to go back and transport the remaining two hundred baskets of cloves at this time.

It would have to wait at least seven hours before the tugboat of the uncle and the third uncle could dock.

The uncle, third uncle, and Liu Yun and the rest of them decided to just wait here, which seemed like a waste of time.

They just learned that Director Liu would continue to purchase cloves, and they didn't want to waste time. After all, the season was about to go out, and this kind of money-making opportunity only came across once in several years.

"Duoyu, let's go to Ding Bay to catch two more nets of cloves. When the tide comes in, we'll bring you the remaining cloves. What do you think?"

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll settle today's shipping costs with you later."

"We are all our own people. We all rely on you to make money now, so there is no need to calculate the freight."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "That won't work. One stroke after another. The more one belongs to one's own, the more clearly one has to figure it out."

Seeing Li Duoyu's resolute attitude.

The third uncle nodded and said: "Okay, let's go first. Around five o'clock in the afternoon, we will send the remaining cloves to Qingkou Wharf."

Liu Yun also waved his hand and said: "Brother Yu, let's go first."

On the shrimp fishing boat, Liu Yun sighed:

"Brother, your cousin is really powerful. I didn't expect that even Factory Director Liu would be so polite to him."

Li Shuguang sighed. If he knew that Li Duoyu had a good relationship with many leaders in Rongcheng, he would probably be frightened out of his wits.

But Li Shuguang always felt a little inconsistent and uncomfortable. Duoyu had changed too much in the past two years.

"Two years ago, Duoyu was just as bad as you were before."

"Really?"

Liu Yun said excitedly: "So, Brother Yu and I are a bit similar. Maybe I will be as successful as him in the future."

Li Shuguang rolled his eyes at him: "Dream on you."

"Brother, I have decided that when I make more money, I will move to Dandan Island."

"It's better not to come and stay in Nanri Town."

"Why don't you let me come?"

"You talk too much, and I'm annoying you to death. Besides, you were able to reduce your sentence by reporting Xiao Weidong, so you're not afraid that he will fight you tooth and nail when he comes out."

Liu Yun snorted: "I'm afraid of his hammer. This guy still owes me a lot of money. If it weren't for him, how would I dare to steal Brother Yu's oysters."

"Now you are talking about Brother Yu, making it seem like you are very familiar with him."

Liu Yun scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I'm not very familiar with it now. As long as I move to Dandan Island, I will be familiar with it."

"You really have to come over."

"Well, actually, it was my parents who asked me to come here. They said your island has a better atmosphere and asked me to come here and learn to behave."

Li Shuguang was stunned for a moment. After he said this, it seemed that it was true.

Since Li Duoyu became the village director, no one in the village has gambled anymore. Everyone seems to be busy making money.

"If you really want to come, you can live in my house first, but if you plan to live here for a long time, you have to buy a house and build a house."

"I think it's okay. It just so happens that I made a lot of money from the anchovies this time, so I can buy a house and build a house."

Li Shuguang sighed. To be honest, he was a little jealous. This time, his cousin really made a lot of money.

His shrimp boat is the most suitable for catching anchovies. Even his father and uncle's trawl boat can't beat him.

"But I heard from Duoyu that our island seems to be building a new dock. Maybe you can build your house next to the new dock."

"Really? Then I won't be in a hurry."

Liu Yun laughed and said, "By the way, brother, if I come to your island, can you introduce me to someone first?"

Li Qingguang, who had been silent on the boat, suddenly said enviously, "You should go back to Nanri Town. There are many bachelors on our island. Don't come here to join in the fun."

Liu Yun frowned and looked at Li Qingguang, grinning, "Qingguang, you are so nervous, don't you have someone you like?"

Li Qingguang blushed, "No."

"No, why are you nervous? Tell me who it is, I promise not to compete with you."

"I don't like your type."

"You still say no?"

After the anchovies were unloaded at the dock, the workers in the processing plant moved the anchovies to the warehouse. Their staff wanted to select the anchovies again.

But what they didn't expect was

The quality of each basket of anchovies is super good. It can be said that each anchovies is very clean and complete, and fully meets the export standards required by the factory.

After spending more than an hour, a quality inspector reported to Liu Zhengyuan:

"Director Liu, this batch of anchovies is very good and fully meets the export standards. We don't need to continue to pick and choose." After hearing this, Liu Zhengyuan was a little bit unbelievable and checked it himself. He thought that the baskets that Li Duoyu showed him might be the best ones.

But what he didn't expect was that the quality of the more than 200 baskets unloaded was actually the same.

He has been purchasing seafood for so many years, but this is the first time he has seen someone who can achieve export-level quality control.

Liu Zhengyuan suddenly fell into deep thought. He used to think that Li Duoyu was just lucky and met the big leader by accident, so he could go so smoothly all the way.

Now he has completely changed his mind. People who can be valued by big leaders are indeed not ordinary people.

"It's really amazing!"

Liu Zhengyuan had already prepared for the loss of this foreign trade of cloves. Five yuan was not only his bottom price, but also the purchase price of the island country.

That is to say, even if this order was completed, the processing plant would not make any money, and might even lose a lot of money.

Because under normal circumstances, after Li Duoyu's batch of cloves came, he would have to re-select them according to the export standards.

According to previous export experience, the selection loss is at least one-quarter, and it may be even higher.

Previously, he had already calculated that even if he didn't calculate the labor, he would lose one yuan for every kilogram of cloves he purchased. The more he purchased, the greater the loss, which was a loss.

But the superiors also put a lot of pressure on him. He had to earn foreign exchange orders even if he lost money.

It was easy to say, but if he really lost money, the organization would not cover it, and the factory's profits would be lost in the end.

To be honest, he has been quite troubled by these foreign trade orders recently. If he said it, no one would believe it. Almost every order was losing money.

Fortunately, he met a conscientious supplier like Li Duoyu, who could help him reduce his losses.

Director Liu looked around and asked the quality inspector: "Director Li, where are you?"

"It seems that he is visiting our factory."

Liu Zhengyuan walked a few steps and found Li Duoyu and Chen Wenchao who were visiting the factory.

"Director Li, our quality inspectors have been praising your clove fish, saying that it directly meets the export standards."

Li Duoyu replied: "It should be. Director Liu gave us such a good price. If I continue to fool us, it would be a bit unreasonable."

Liu Zhengyuan sighed: "If every businessman is as sensible as Director Li, then business will be easy to do."

Li Duoyu smiled and didn't say much. Everyone has a different way of making money.

He is not a very smart person, nor is he good at socializing. If he wants to get along in this circle, the only thing he can show is integrity and reliability.

"Director Liu, your processing plant seems to have expanded a lot since it was just built, and several new production lines have been added."

Liu Zhengyuan sighed: "Yes, several new trouble lines have been added."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and seeing Director Liu's expression, it seems that there is a story.

"Director Li, if you want to visit, I will introduce it to you."

"The production line in front of us is dedicated to making rat fish, mainly spicy flavor, which sells very well in the mainland."

"This one is for canned sardines, mainly exported to Southeast Asia, as well as black bean dace and clam meat"

But what makes Li Duoyu more curious is that the current processing plant is quite standardized, and employees not only wear hats and masks, but also gloves.

For this era, this is quite rare, and generally only island countries will have such strict requirements.

"Director Liu, have you been studying outside recently? Why are you all wearing masks and hats?"

Li Duoyu asked this question, and Liu Zhengyuan was too lazy to put on the airs of a leader. He just treated Li Duoyu as a friend and complained bitterly.

"Oh, I'm not afraid to tell you, it's not okay to be non-standard."

"Previously, our factory did a foreign trade export to an island country, but I don't know what happened. An employee's fingernail fell into a can. After the supplier in the island country found out, he returned the entire batch of goods."

"It's just a fingernail. Is it so exaggerated?" Li Duoyu was very surprised.

In fact, he felt that it was normal to have the whole batch of goods returned. For the island country in the 1980s, not to mention a fingernail in the can, even a hair might cause the whole batch of goods to be returned.

Director Liu sighed: "Isn't it? I thought it was easy to do business with them, but it turned out to be very difficult. If there is anything unqualified, they will directly return it to you. This is why I have to check the anchovies again."

"I can understand." Li Duoyu smiled. If a fingernail falls into a can, it may be just a small matter in China.

In this era, maybe you won't even be compensated, and you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

But in the island country, if a fingernail appears in a can, it is a big deal for a food company.

If it goes wrong, the company may fall into a public relations crisis, and in the worst case, it may be driven out of business.

When he was working illegally before, he was pulled out by the store manager because a hair accidentally fell into the rice ball. He kept apologizing and finally shaved his head.

At this time, Liu Zhengyuan called a young man in work clothes in the factory.

"Xiaoqi, come here."

A young man came to Liu Zhengyuan: "Director, do you want to ask me something?"

Liu Zhengyuan said: "You always want to see the village director of Xiasha Village, right? He is in front of you now."

The young man looked at Li Duoyu in surprise and stretched out his hands enthusiastically: "Teacher Li, I have heard of you for a long time, and finally met you in person."

"Hello." Li Duoyu was frightened by the enthusiasm of the young man in front of him. Why did he call him teacher?

Could it be that he was from Ludao and knew that he had taught at the Fisheries Science and Technology School.

Liu Zhengyuan said: "Director Li, let me introduce you to Liu Xiaoqi, a returned overseas student who our factory has just recruited. He is mainly responsible for foreign trade work. He seems to have always admired you."

Admire me?

? ? ?

Li Duoyu was puzzled. The returned overseas students in this era were completely at the top of the pyramid.

Even graduates from Tsinghua University and Peking University were not good enough in front of them. Such people would actually admire themselves.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that Liu Xiaoqi took out a black folding wallet.

He took out a photo from it, and this photo was very familiar to Li Duoyu. It was a photo of him, President Kojima Kawai, and the 600-pound tuna.

"Teacher Li, I cut this photo from a magazine. When I was in Nagasaki, I heard your story. It's really amazing that you can catch such a big tuna."

Li Duoyu's brain was buzzing. This Liu Xiaoqi was really handsome and handsome. He should be the kind that girls like.

Even when talking to him, many female workers secretly looked over here.

But such a handsome turtle actually had a photo of himself in his wallet.

I don't know why, but I always feel a little awkward, although in this era, people do put some photos of their favorite stars in their wallets.

But he is not a star.

Why put his photo? Besides, I don't know him at all.

Liu Xiaoqi continued, "Teacher Li, we actually met when we were in Nagasaki."

Li Duoyu couldn't remember this person in his mind.

"When you went to Nagasaki for inspection, I was a student at Nagasaki Fisheries School. At that time, you and my teacher discussed oyster farming together."

Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully for several times, and finally remembered that when he went to Nagasaki Fisheries School, there was indeed a good-looking male classmate who kept smiling at him and waving at him.

At that time, Li Duoyu thought he was the kind of person who didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but he didn't expect that he was actually an international student in China.

"It's you."

Liu Xiaoqi said excitedly: "Teacher Li, you finally remembered me."

Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I was too busy at that time, so I didn't say hello to you."

"It's okay, I understand." (End of this chapter)
