194. Chapter 194 If You Want a Good Relationship, Lubrication Is Essential

Chapter 194 If you want a good relationship, you need lubrication

That night, with the help of Zhou Xiaoying, Li Duoyu made more than ten land contract agreements.

Because these lands were distributed by the state to farmers, Li Duoyu could not buy them from them, but could only contract them.

Zhou Xiaoying was also worried when she saw him making so many contract agreements, "Are you going to start a new project again?"

Li Duoyu nodded.

He told Zhou Xiaoying about the eel farming directly. Although she was a little worried about the investment, she still supported him in the end.

"It's okay, if the investment fails, I will support you."

Li Duoyu laughed and said, "How to support you."

Zhou Xiaoying took out the small treasury from behind the rice jar. There were only more than 200 yuan in it. Now more than a year has passed, and it has accumulated 600 yuan.

"It's amazing, my Tun Tun Mouse, let me show you my savings."

Li Duoyu took out a wooden box from the cabinet and put a stack of big unity on the table, which was more than 3,000 yuan.

After seeing so much money, Zhou Xiaoying puffed up her lips: "You have invested a lot, how come you still have so much money left."

"Because your husband is awesome."

Li Duoyu took out a small diary from the box: "All the money I made is in this little book, do you want to take a look?"

Zhou Xiaoying nodded, opened the diary, and her eyes widened. Every income and expenditure of Li Duoyu was densely written on it.

All Yuan Datou were sold to Agui for 2,200 yuan.

October 1983

Going to sea with Uncle San for six days, earning 30 yuan.

Loaned 10,000 yuan from the town credit union.

February 1984

Selling fish on New Year's Eve, earning 310 yuan.

March 1984

The first batch of kelp was sold, earning 2,241 yuan.

In addition to income, every item of expenditure is also written in great detail.

Buying the fishing boat of the old Ye family, 2000 yuan.

Going to the county town to find my uncle, accommodation, meals, buying imported cloth and folding umbrellas, a total of 35 yuan.

Buying second-hand palm ropes and floats, 450 yuan.

Caught a big perch, invited Wen Chao and Dong Qing to dinner, 8 yuan.

100 Casuarinas, 400 yuan.

Cutting trees, transporting, big pot meals, 89 yuan.

Piling of kelp fields and fish rafts, 481 yuan.

Zhou Xiaoying was surprised and said: "When did you get used to keeping accounts? You never counted money before."

Li Duoyu said seriously: "No matter what, I am a man with a wife and children. How can I be the same as before."

After saying that, he hugged Zhou Xiaoying with his right hand, and became dishonest again.

Zhou Xiaoying remembered the night when he was drunk, and slapped his dog paw heavily: "It's really different from before, getting more and more oily."

"It's not good without oil. I heard people say that if you want a good relationship, lubrication is indispensable."

Li Duoyu laughed.

Zhou Xiaoying didn't react at first, but after she figured it out, she suddenly blushed and hurried back to the bedroom to coax Tutu to sleep.

Li Duoyu's habit of keeping accounts was forced out of him in the island country.

The cost of living in that ghost place is very high, and it's really not possible to be thrifty. He couldn't bear to flush the toilet with water when he urinated.

Li Duoyu took two stacks of big unity.

Bring a few packs of good cigarettes.

That night, he went to the fifth team and half waist of Xiasha Village with his father and signed more than ten land contract contracts.

When signing the contract.

Most of the villagers are illiterate, such as Zhang Cuilan and the Zhao brothers who wanted to commit suicide by drinking pesticides before.

Liu Xiaolan's mother, Liu Jinlan.

But because Li Duoyu helped them recover part of the money invested in abalone, although these villagers didn't understand what was written on the contract, they all pressed their fingerprints readily.

And their trusting behavior made Li Duoyu suddenly feel guilty, because these lands will become very popular in the future.

During the peak period of shrimp and eel farming, the annual rent for each acre of land was several thousand yuan.

To prevent them from regretting in the future, Li Duoyu spent two thousand yuan and paid the rent for five years in one go to rent the best freshwater farming land on the island.

Eel farming is generally divided into two methods: indoor and outdoor farming.

Indoor farming is relatively expensive, and it is necessary to build a factory building, and the ponds are also built with cement and bricks.

There must also be temperature control facilities, and the overall investment is too large. With Li Duoyu's current financial resources, he cannot afford indoor farming for the time being.

The other is outdoor farming, which is divided into cement pools and earth ponds.

Li Duoyu plans to adopt earth pond farming. Although this method does not have a high yield, it is the most cost-effective and not so troublesome to manage.

The only thing to worry about is extreme weather. Once there is a heavy rainstorm or typhoon, the eels may run away.

It is already the end of October.

The eel fry will come to Dandan Island in mid-December, and time is quite tight.

The day after signing the contract.

Li Duoyu hired more than 20 people to level the land and remove the weeds and trees.

Then, they started digging the pond.

Because there were very few excavators in that era, and because it was a war-prepared province, there were no large machinery factories.

The entire county could not get together a few excavators, and most of them were from government units and soldiers, even if you had the ability to contact them.

But at that time, there was no ferry specifically used to transport cars to transport excavators to Dandan Island.

So if you want to dig a pond.

You can only rely on the hands of ordinary people to dig out the soil one hoe at a time.

Once manpower is involved.

The cost will go up instantly.

Because of the physical work, each person needs at least two dollars and a half per day. For more than 20 people, the wages paid every day are more than 50 yuan.

And here, the boss has to provide lunch. Even if the cheapest salty rice and fish soup are used, the cost of a meal for more than 20 people is nearly 10 yuan.

It has only been a few days.

Li Duoyu felt that he was bankrupt. Now he may be the poorest person on the island. He can't even take out 100 yuan from his body.

But the road to burning money for eel farming has just begun.

Next, he has to build an indoor breeding farm and a grading pool for the fine breeding of eel fry.

In addition to these, he also has to build a special water tank, all of which must be done within this month.

Now he finally understood why those bosses had so little money in their pockets even though they had big businesses.

Because if you want to expand your business, you have to keep investing money, and the bigger the business, the less cash you have.

After burning all the cash.

Li Duoyu could only go to the town credit union to withdraw 5,000 yuan. If he burned all the 5,000 yuan and deducted the 20,000 yuan loan, he would be a real pauper.

Now he is just waiting for the oysters to sell and recover his money, and he also has to develop the fishing business as soon as possible.

It just so happened that the weather was good these days and the tide was big, which was very suitable for fishing in the open sea. In addition, Shitou and Zhang Jinsha had urged several times.

So they agreed to go fishing together tomorrow.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that the two originally wanted an immersive fishing package of 30 yuan, but for some reason, they changed it to a pure experience package of 15 yuan.

Li Duoyu didn't feel that he was losing money, but was happier. He gave you the opportunity to make money, but he didn't cherish it.

Tomorrow, Li Duoyu plans to go straight to the fishing spot with the most groupers, so that they can experience what it means to catch fish in succession and what it means to catch fish without a catch.

Due to the fine-tuning of the previous chapter, some of the plot is put into this chapter. Please understand. Friends who have read the previous chapter at midnight last night can go back and take a look or two, or choose not to read it. It won't have much impact.
