1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

Chapter 676: Difficulties in the Development Stage, Urgent Need for Talents (1/2)

Uncle Zhuang stood aside and learned for a while, and then began to help grill the squid strips. This thing does not require much technical content, it is just a matter of controlling the heat. As long as you are a cook, you can learn it after watching a few times.

When the sun rises, the crew members are exhausted. This time, trawling squid is much more tiring than the previous trawling.

In the past, trawling nets were mostly pulled up by winches, and they only needed to be responsible for picking.

And squid fishing often has to rely on manual pulling, plus this thing is particularly sprayable, everyone's body is sticky, it's so uncomfortable.

After the task was completed, several young crew members took off their waders directly and splashed sea water on their bodies.

However, there is a strict rule on the fishing boat that soap is not allowed to be used on the side of the boat, because there are really crew members who stepped on this thing and fell into the sea.

As for the newcomer Li Sande, while everyone was washing themselves, he was cleaning the deck with a brush.

He was sticky all over and kept cursing. Chen Liang snorted after hearing it: "What are you talking about? Even our General Yu had the same experience when he first came on board."

After everyone washed themselves, they lined up for breakfast. Compared with the past, the crew's meals were good now.

Since they were doing physical work, the crew did not drink porridge for breakfast, but ate rice directly.

Nowadays, rice is relatively soft. Generally, porridge is boiled in a big pot, and then the rice grains are taken out and steamed separately. The remaining porridge water can be directly used as soup.

The side dishes for this morning meal are quite rich, not only pickled mustard, dried fish, pickled vegetables, but also kelp shreds and black bean cloves provided by Li Duoyu, and now there is also a dish of grilled squid shreds.

The hungry crew praised this thing and looked at Lao Zhuang in disbelief.

"What is this made of? Why is it so delicious?"

Uncle Zhuang rolled his eyes: "You guys spent the whole night catching fish last night and you don't know what you're eating. This thing was made by Duoyu. It seems to be called grilled squid strips. I don't have that ability."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized: "No wonder it smells like squid when you eat it."

"Boss Yu, how come you have time to make breakfast for us?"

After Chen Liang took a few bites, he reacted instantly: "Boss Yu, this can't be the new product of Minlong Company."

Li Duoyu smiled and nodded: "How does it taste? It's okay."

Chen Liang grinned and said: "Haha delicious, haha ​​fragrant, this thing will definitely sell well, I am a seaside person and I eat it very deliciously, let alone those inland people."

Chen Liang had already finished breakfast and was picking his teeth, but Li Sande, who hadn't finished cleaning the deck, was already so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back.

"Hurry up, it's just a small job, why do you have to work so long? If it's any later, Uncle Zhuang will close the stall, and then you won't be able to eat anything."

Li Sande's teeth were clattering, but he didn't dare to talk back. He could only endure it and wait until he finished cleaning the deck, and he didn't even have time to take a shower.

He rushed to the kitchen and found that the grilled squid shreds had been eaten by them, leaving only some pickles and dried fish.

"Salin."

Li Sande was so angry that he cursed. He was several years older than Li Duoyu, and he was so wronged that he almost cried.

The second uncle who was smoking not far away sighed and shook his head. He had seen it all these days. If he couldn't teach his children well, he could only ask others to help teach them.

This trip was only for squid fishing, and it only took three days. The fishing boat had already started to return. The fish tank was filled with baskets of squid, and it felt that there was not enough crushed ice.

In the past, the fishing boats responsible for fishing did not need to go back and could continue fishing in this sea area.

Because there would be special transport ships to pick them up, which would save a lot of round-trip fuel costs and time costs.

This is also the fundamental reason why a fishing boat would take several months or even half a year to go out to sea.

In the past, the entire fishing industry chain was quite complete, and many seafood transport ships simply acted as fishmongers.

At sea, the seafood caught by the fishing boats was directly bought away, so when this type of transport ship arrived at the dock, it was already a second-hand dealer.

After passing through the third-hand dealer at the dock, it was finally transported and then to the fourth-hand dealer in the vegetable market.

In other words, when most people buy seafood, the seafood has been transferred several times. This is also the fundamental reason why fishermen tell you that seasonal seafood is very cheap, but ordinary people can't buy cheap seafood.

Fishermen make money by fishing, but there are more people who rely on fishermen to make money.

If you want to buy cheap seafood, there is no shortcut at all. The best way is to have a relative who often goes fishing, and this relative must be the captain of a boat.

As for the online direct sales, they are all scams. Almost every fishing boat has a corresponding "agent".

Even if there is no such thing, there are always various fishmongers conducting high-intensity "patrols" at popular docks.

To put it bluntly, even locals like him can hardly compete with these fishmongers.

After three days of sailing, the fishing boat finally returned to the waters belonging to Rongcheng. They did not return to Dandan Island first, but went straight to Qingkou Wharf.

The fishing boat docked directly at the exclusive docking point of Minlong Aquatic Products Processing Plant. The boat had just docked, and the captain Li Niantian wanted to organize people to unload the cargo.

Unexpectedly, the employees of the processing plant immediately surrounded them and prepared to help unload the cargo.

In the past, such a thing would be unthinkable. In the past, the processing plant was the "master" and the employees were superior to others. This job has always been a sinecure.

These employees responsible for unloading only need to stand there and shout to command the ship boss to unload.

But this time, after Li Duoyu's reform, it is completely different. The processing plant has taken off the "master" hat.

At the beginning, some employees disagreed, but after firing one or two leaders, the rest were all honest.

After all, it was a serious "grandfather" before, and it was quite troublesome to fire people. But after becoming a private enterprise, firing people is really just a matter of signing.

From another perspective, the power of these department leaders has become greater, and those factory scoundrels soon found that they could not survive.

After the squid was unloaded, Director Yang, who was responsible for workshop management, immediately organized a group of employees to slaughter the entire batch of squids as required by General Manager Li.

This time, Li Duoyu only wanted the squid body and tentacles to make grilled squid strips, and the eyes and head had to be disposed of.

Nowadays, there are a lot of seafood scraps and offal produced by processing plants every day.

And because this thing is too fishy, ​​even pigs don't like to eat it very much. In addition, people of this era don't have the idea of ​​environmental protection.

The scraps are often discharged directly into the sea, resulting in large-scale pollution.

This summer, Li Duoyu discovered that the probability of red tides at Qingkou Wharf is at least five or six times higher than that at Dandan Island.

Li Duoyu collected these scraps and packed them all and transported them to the Qixingwan Feed Factory to be processed into relatively low-end fish meal.

And this kind of fish meal is completely fine for feeding ordinary fish except eels and shrimps.

In addition, during this period, the enthusiasm for freshwater tilapia farming is very high. This kind of fish meal can be processed into tilapia feed and sold to some freshwater fish farmers.

After all the squids were unloaded, Li Duoyu directly told Director Yang the formula and technology of grilled squid strips.

But he didn't tell him in full that according to the company's latest regulations, the production formula of each food can only be mastered half, not all.

As for the recipe and taste, they are all in the charge of a special department. After all, a product needs to be distinguished from others, and apart from packaging, it really depends on the taste.

If all are mastered by the same person, it is really easy for the other party to run away and work alone. It can only be said that we must be on guard against others, so it is better to set rules directly from the beginning.

As for the squid pressing machine, Li Duoyu asked the only eighth-level fitter in the factory to connect with Rongcheng Machinery Factory.

If everything goes well, Li Duoyu will be able to produce grilled squid strips in about two months.

Now there are products, and there will be more and more in the future, but Li Duoyu feels that there is still something missing in the packaging. The current mainstream method of the processing plant is canning.

To put it bluntly, all aquatic products can be placed in glass jars and iron cans, and this is also the fundamental reason why aquatic product processing plants have always been called canning plants by outsiders.

For canning, the whole process is indeed relatively simple, but to be honest, the cost is too high. The cost of a glass jar is quite a lot of money, and the cost of iron cans is even more expensive.

Also, it is not very convenient to transport. There are no asphalt roads now. Almost all of them are dirt roads, and there are all kinds of shell holes on the road.

When the car is driving, it is very bumpy, and there are bumps and bumps along the way, and the damage rate is also very high.

Li Duoyu always feels that the development has been too fast recently. In the final analysis, he is still a local.

He is really good at breeding, but as the company grows bigger, he finds that he really can't manage it.

It feels very busy every day, and it is difficult to get out of trivial things. Sometimes, Li Duoyu thinks that he seems to lack a real secretary.

For example, Chen Yuansu, she has Zhu Sulan to help her take care of these small things. She runs all the big and small things, and she sits in the office with air conditioning.

When he thought of this, Li Duoyu also felt that it was time to treat himself better and hire a better secretary for himself.

Chen Xiaoyan is good, and she does a good job in miscellaneous things, but it is probably not good for work that requires brains.

As for other people, they all have their own positions, and they can't ask them to help.

The eel factory that my second brother is currently managing, plus the financial part, is already his limit. If he is given more work, he will probably be unable to turn around soon.

Xiaochao is a practical person with very good execution ability, but due to his cognition, it is difficult for him to leave the front line of breeding and become the decision-making level within the company.

Overall, the group of people from Dandan Island are more suitable for practical work, that is, responsible for the work of breeding.

If I want to expand the market, I must recruit talents. Alas, I still lack people.

Li Duoyu finally understood why the bigger the company, the more troubled the boss is, because there are really too many troubles.

When I worked in the past, I often heard people say that when a factory will go bankrupt depends on how much work the boss does.

The more work the boss does, the closer it is to bankruptcy.

In the past, Li Duoyu didn't understand it very well, but now after personal experience, he finally understood it a little bit. This is called unclear responsibilities.

After unloading the squid, the fishing boat returned to Dandan Island, and the big ship could only stop at the new dock.

The ship had just docked.

Li Sande jumped over immediately and started to curse: "Fuck your uncle, a boat full of idiots."

Someone on the boat laughed and said: "Sande, if you curse us now, it will be a bit embarrassing next time you get on the boat."

"Get on the boat, fuck your uncle, if I get on the boat again, I will be a dog."

The uncle smiled and said: "Sande, if you leave now, you won't get any wages, the wages are paid once a month."

"I won't get on the boat anymore, I want a woolen wage, I'll give it to you."

After saying this, Li Sande turned around and left in a very casual manner.

But all the people on the boat looked at him with a smile, especially Chen Liang, who couldn't help shaking his head.

The man in front of him really looked like himself at the beginning. It felt like Li Sande would soon become a real dog.

Li Duoyu couldn't help but smile. He still knew the situation of this guy. It was estimated that in a few days, his relative would run to the boat again.

After all, he owed a lot of money for smuggling. His second uncle helped him pay some of it, but there was still a lot of money that had not been paid off.

It is true that people can be willful, but debt collectors will not let you be willful. Sometimes, after a few beatings, they will be completely obedient.

After arriving at the new wharf, Li Duoyu looked around and found that the changes were really big. It used to be a wilderness here.

Now there are many buildings, and Chen Wenchao's small villa has also started to lay the foundation.

The fastest construction is in Chenjia Village. Because there is no wharf in their village, many people park their fishing boats at the new wharf.

If you go back, you still have to walk a long way. Many people have directly applied for land here. The fastest ones have already laid the foundation and bought bricks.

And Principal Chen of Ludao Fisheries School has confirmed with him that the campus here will be officially put into use next fall.

And he is no longer a visiting teacher, but has been directly upgraded to the vice president of this branch school.

The shellfish research station of the Qie County Fisheries Research Institute here will also specially hire Li Duoyu as a consultant for the research station.

At this moment, Li Duoyu finally understood why some people have so many identities behind their business cards.

Because he really has quite a few now.

General Manager of Minlong Company.

Representative of young entrepreneurs in Fujian Province.

Vice President of the Dandan Island Branch of Ludao Fisheries Science and Technology School.

Director of the Mazu Ancestral Temple.

If you have to make up the number, Li Duoyu nowadays may really be able to make up a dozen.

And it seems that the Rongcheng Fisheries Association is about to be established recently, and the organizer has already sent him an invitation, not to invite him to be a director, but directly to start as vice president.

A group of people talked and laughed, walking all the way back to the village along the dirt road on the new wharf.

But when Li Duoyu returned home, he found that there was no one at home.

It seemed that everyone had run to the old house, and many neighbors were watching there.

At this moment, Li Duoyu heard the shrill cry of his second sister-in-law and felt a little familiar. He calculated the time and instantly understood what happened. (End of this chapter)
