Chapter 471 Throwing the Holy Grail, Defeating the Family (1/2)

After the new team was assembled.

Li Duoyu began to arrange the work for next year. In fact, Minlong Company was far more than just them.

His father had a small team specializing in kelp and oysters, but Li Duoyu did not plan to bring his father to the meeting.

If the son held a meeting with his father, and the father suddenly said something against him, then what dignity would he have as a son? He couldn't fire the father on the spot.

In order to avoid such embarrassing scenes, the best way is not to call him father during a serious meeting.

During the work summary.

In addition to talking about some mistakes made this year, Li Duoyu also praised the employees for many things, but of course the most important thing in such a meeting is the red envelope.

Li Duoyu, who used to work for others, knew very well that if there was no year-end bonus for the year-end summary, who would listen to your summary.

Maybe he was too lazy to write a resignation letter, and just found a reason in the spring, saying that he couldn't come and didn't want to hand over the work, but he actually reported to other companies.

In front of the three new employees, Li Duoyu awarded a thick stack of great unity to the three outstanding employees of this year.

When distributing the year-end bonus, Li Duoyu also said: "It's good for everyone to know, don't tell this kind of thing to others, if Xiaoying knows, she will definitely talk about me."

The several employees present all nodded, but Li Duoyu knew very well that how could they hold back on such things.

Let's not talk about Qingfeng, Shitou and Xiaojin, Xiaochao suddenly took so much money back, wouldn't Liu Xiaolan ask?

Unfortunately, if the second sister-in-law didn't leave, she would also have a share of this year's year-end bonus.

She went to the Haixin Eel Factory, and it seemed that her salary doubled, but in fact, she worked like a cow and a horse, and really didn't make much.

The second brother made much more than her this year, and he didn't have to be as tired as her.

But Li Duoyu had long been accustomed to it. The second sister-in-law was like this in her previous life, and life was a process of constantly hitting the wall.

He had tried everything from Perfect World to Amway, but in the end, all the hard-earned money he had saved was swept away by the head of the association.

According to the words of the older generation, this person's "karma fire" was very heavy and kept burning underneath.

But Li Duoyu knew very well that the second sister-in-law was too self-righteous and always thought she was smarter than others.

She always thought she could get the wool of the capitalists, but in fact, it was all traps set by the capitalists for people like her.

Of course, in addition to the second sister-in-law, Li Duoyu also gave his father a big year-end bonus, but it was not cash, but another ten acres of kelp field.

Li Duoyu knew very well that no matter whether he gave money to him or to his mother, they would definitely not take it.

Even if they accepted it, they would give it to Xiao Tutu as a New Year's gift in the form of a red envelope, or find ways to use the money on you.

Elders who are more sensible generally will not give the money given to them by a child to other children.

Because this money is the children's intention, it is used to buy good food, clothes and enjoyment for the elders, and it cannot be spent casually.

If the elders really give this money to other children, it will often cause deeper family conflicts.

But in reality, blood-sucking families and brother-supporting demons are still quite common.

Maybe because of the experience of the eldest brother running away from home, the father and mother are particularly careful when dealing with these things.

Last year, the red envelopes that Li Duoyu gave them all turned into various meals on the table this year.

In the past, pork was only bought once a week at most, but this year, pork is eaten almost every other day, and the fat boy has gained more than ten pounds this year.

The best way to give money to the father is to give him a field or land directly, and let him manage the breeding himself.

In this way, Lao Li can not only distribute the money he earns freely, but also does not have to worry about whether he and Xiaoying have any opinions.

In the meeting room.

Li Duoyu began to arrange the specific work after the beginning of next spring. Chen Wenchao and his brother-in-law, the three of them, all held soft-shell Shanghai brand notebooks in their hands, and all took notes seriously.

The three new young people were a little embarrassed because no one reminded them to take their diaries when they came.

"Everyone, remember carefully. The first thing we do after the fifth day of the first lunar month is to start catching eel fry. Xiaochao and Qingfeng are responsible for this. The goal is to catch 200,000 eels within half a month. You can also purchase them directly. The specific price can be discussed with my second brother."

"Brother-in-law, this time you and Xiaojin will be responsible for collecting red worms."

"Yaoguo, you should keep daily records of the eel factory as usual. There is another thing. I rented a large piece of land in Qixing Bay.

We may not use it immediately next year, but we must fence the land to prevent it from being occupied by nearby villagers. If it causes land disputes, it will be very troublesome to deal with. You and I will be responsible for this matter."

The second brother Li Yaoguo's notebook is full of writing, and the handwriting is very beautiful.

Chen Wenchao has also improved. He has attended night school for the past two years and learned a lot of words.

But people are like this. If you don't learn when you are young, it will be very difficult to learn when you grow up. There are still many "abstract symbols" in Chen Wenchao's notebook that even Li Duoyu can't understand.

After seeing those symbols, Li Duoyu couldn't help but think about a question.

From a certain perspective, Xiaochao might be a genius. If he were placed in prehistoric times, those archaeologists would probably not know what these symbols mean no matter how hard they study.

In fact, there are still many details that Li Duoyu has not arranged. He plans to handle them personally.

Of course, there are also future plans for Minlong Company, etc. Now his Minlong Company can make money and its brand has been promoted.

But the effect is not very obvious. Dandan Island is relatively famous now, but because of the large-scale cultivation of kelp.

When it comes to kelp, people don’t immediately think of Dandan Island, let alone Minlong Food.

Now Dandan Island’s reputation has changed. It has become the richest village in Shangfeng Town. It must be Xiasha Village.

Li Duoyu is very clear that Minlong Food now lacks a flagship product that can penetrate into the lives of the people.

For example, Luoxingta MSG and Mintian fish sauce in Rongcheng, if you want the people to remember, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are simple, but also the most difficult.

Because these livelihood enterprises are generally run by state-owned enterprises, if you want to get a piece of the pie, there are currently only two ways, either to establish a competitor of the same type, or to go to the upper channel and find a way to privatize it.

However, Li Duoyu was not in a hurry to consider this matter. The most important thing now was the original accumulation, which included assets, connections and channels, as well as talents.

In addition to doing a good job in breeding this year, what Li Duoyu wanted to do most was to plan out the new wharf.

Almost when their meeting ended, Zhang Jinsha from the village committee came over: "Duoyu, you have to go over quickly. The chairman of the board of directors from Chenjia Village is here too. The temple keeper asked you to go over and throw the holy cup together."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

And Chen Wenchao and the others would definitely go over to see it, after all, the temple fair was about to start again, and maybe Mazu would start "tours" again, which would be a grand event for the entire Dandan Island.

When Li Duoyu arrived at the Tianhou Temple, almost all the people with a face and seniority on the island came, especially the board of directors from Chenjia Village, all of whom wore black hats and uniform blue robes.

When Li Duoyu came, the temple keeper was holding two half-moon-shaped red holy cups, chanting words that the locals could not understand, and was asking Mazu for instructions.

The person to be chosen this time is the "head family", that is, the person in charge of this "inviting incense" and "tour". It has come to this step, and it is basically certain that the Mazu tour next year will be held 100%, and this time it is very special that the two villages will co-host it.

After the temple priest finished reading, he looked around, and when he saw Li Duoyu coming, he first handed the holy cup to Chen Yuanshan, the chairman of the Chenjia Village Council, who was already kneeling on the futon.

"Start throwing the holy cup."

Chen Yuanshan held the holy cup and bowed to Mazu three times, then drew three circles with the holy cup, and then threw the holy cup out.

After the two holy cups landed, they were both on the reverse side, and the temple priest shouted: "Laughing cup."

After seeing that it was a laughing cup, the people of the Chenjia Village Council all became nervous. The laughing cup means that the gods are still a little hesitant and can't make up their minds.

Under normal circumstances, the holy cup is thrown three times. The best situation is that all three times are "holy cups", indicating that the gods are very satisfied with your request and agree to let you do it.

If not, the first two times can be "laughing cups", but the last time must be "holy cups", which means that the gods hesitated but finally agreed.

But if the first one is "yin cup", then the next two must all be holy cups.

Because when throwing the holy cup, there may be deviations due to the influence of the surrounding environment, so two consecutive holy cups can also offset the previous yin cup.

The temple keeper picked up the holy cup and handed it to Chen Yuanshan again, and started the second throwing of the holy cup.

Because of the first laughing cup, the chairman of the board of directors was very nervous, and kept muttering in his mouth, and then threw the holy cup high.

After landing.

The temple keeper shouted: "laughing cup."

"Come on, the third time."

All the people in Chenjia Village became nervous and dared not breathe. The last time, Chen Yuanshan shook his hand very slowly and threw it out slowly.

This time the holy cup happened to be one positive and one negative.

"Holy cup."

After seeing this result, all the people in the Chenjia Village Board of Directors smiled, two smiles and one holy, which means that Mazu finally agreed.

But he was not the only one who came to throw the Holy Grail today. There were four representatives from the two villages. The representative of Chenjia Village was their council chairman and village party secretary Chen Bian.

The representatives of Xiasha Village were Li Duoyu and an elder of the village, Chen Huotan.

This elder was already eighty years old. Li Duoyu didn't know him very well, but people of his father's generation respected him very much.

Because in that chaotic era, there were many pirates and military bandits. It was he who led a group of people to defend Dandan Island.

He was the second person to throw the Holy Grail. Because of seniority, it was his turn, Li Duoyu, to be the last one.

He also threw three times in a row.

What everyone didn't expect was that it was still two smiles and one saint, and they tied with the chairman of the council of Chenjia Village.

If Li Duoyu and Chen Bian both failed to throw the Holy Grail next.

Then the two of them must throw the Holy Grail again until the "god" decides who will be the head of the family.

But surprisingly, the village party secretary of Chenjia Village threw three "Yin Cups" in a row.

The scene was quite embarrassing, and the people in the Chenjia Village Council were also dumbfounded. Three "Yin Cups" meant that he was denied by the gods and could not even be the "deputy head".

Now it was Li Duoyu's turn. Actually, he didn't particularly want to be the "head", but if the two villages were to jointly run the event.

It would be the best if he could win it. After all, this thing was quite metaphysical. Some older people also said that it was related to "village luck".

Since it was related to the interests of the village, he would naturally strive for it.

After Li Duoyu took the Holy Grail, he bowed three times devoutly, and then threw the Holy Grail out. Unexpectedly, the first cup was also a "laughing cup".

After seeing this scene.

The people in the Chenjia Village Council finally felt relieved. What they feared most was that Li Duoyu was the "Holy Grail" from the beginning.

Li Duoyu's speed of throwing the Holy Grail was relatively fast, but after the second cup came out, everyone present became nervous.

Because it was directly the "Holy Grail".

When Li Duoyu was about to throw the Holy Grail for the third time, the villagers from Xiasha Village, regardless of gender, age or status, all shouted together: "Holy Grail."

"Holy Grail."

"Holy Grail."

Everyone present was very nervous, and they all looked at what cup Li Duoyu's last cup was.

Li Duoyu held the Holy Grail, turned it three times, and threw it directly. One side quickly landed on the ground, with the flat surface facing up.

But the other cup actually started to spin. Under normal circumstances, most of the cups that can spin are also flat and facing up, and the probability is that it is the Holy Grail.

It should also be two smiles and one saint.

Next, the three of them had to throw the Holy Grail again. If it was two to one, Xiasha Village would have a better chance of winning.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the rotating Holy Grail directly hit the "God Pillar", and the whole cup stood up. When it stopped, it became convex on the top.

This unexpected result was not even expected by Li Duoyu himself, but he really didn't know whether the Holy Grail would count after hitting the pillar.

"Holy Grail."

As the temple priest shouted, all the villagers of Xiasha Village who were watching the scene were excited.

"Village director, awesome."

Some people even whistled, and a man in his thirties shouted directly: "Village director, I love you."

The faces of the people in Chenjia Village were a little ugly, but they could accept Li Duoyu as the head of the village.

After all, this young man has helped their village a lot this year. It can only be said that "God" is really accurate in judging people, and he is indeed qualified to be the head of the village.

After the throwing of the Holy Grail.

Li Duoyu became the head of this "inviting incense" and "patrol", while Chen Yuanshan and Chen Huotan were deputy heads. (End of this chapter)
