261. Chapter 260: Sponsorship (1/2)

As the relationship between the two villages thawed.

When the people of the two villages were setting nets at the sea boundary, they no longer cursed at each other, but instead said:

"When you have time, do you want to come to our village for tea?"

"Sure, I'll go to your village another day."

The passenger ship at Dandan Island Pier also saw a lot of better business instantly. Originally, it only ran once a day, but now many people from Chenjia Village also came here to take the boat.

The boat owner decided on the spot that from today on, he would run two round trips a day.

In fact, since the two villages fell out, the two sides have rarely communicated.

Although they are on the same island, some people have lived for 30 or 40 years and have never been to the neighboring village.

When the people of Chenjia Village arrived at Xiasha Village, they saw so many families building new houses and were envious.

"How come your village is so rich? So many people are building new houses."

The people of Xiasha Village replied: "We don't have much money. We used to be like you. We only earned these two years."

Chenjia Village looked at the densely packed fishing boats in the harbor: "There are too many fishing boats in your village."

"These fishing boats were also bought in recent years."

The people of Chenjia Village couldn't help but sigh. They really didn't expect that the economy of the neighboring village had developed so well.

What made Chenjia Village most curious was that at the dock, the four big words [Minlong Food] could be seen from a distance.

"Is that factory invested by outsiders?"

"No, it's the eel farm run by our village director Li Duoyu."

"It was the young man holding the loud speaker a few days ago."

"Yes, that's right, it's his."

The people in Chenjia Village whispered, "It must cost a lot of money to run that factory. Your village director is so young, he must have embezzled a lot. Why do you still support him so much?"

After hearing this, a young man named Liu Jinyuan became serious and said, "Just tell me this, don't spread it around. All this money was earned by our village director himself."

"It's impossible. He's only a few years old. How can he make so much money?"

"The people in your village must not have read the newspaper carefully. Kelp farming The breeding was led by our village director, and the oyster farming was also initiated by him.

The abalone investment at the beginning of the year was also coordinated by our village director, otherwise your village would not get a penny back. "

"No way, he also helped with the abalone investment, how come we didn't know about it."

"How could the old men in your village let you know about it?"

"According to what you said, your village director is too powerful."

"That's right, if it weren't for him, our village wouldn't be able to develop so well now."

"I really envy you for having a good village chief."

The villagers of the two villages have been interacting in a friendly manner these days, and some even carried a lot of dry goods and ran to Chenjia Village to propose marriage.

But Li Duoyu has been very troubled these two days, because after the relationship between the two villages was repaired, there are many things to do.

When the two villages were at odds, they built primary schools separately, but now there is not enough teaching staff on both sides.

The board of directors on the Chenjia Village side hopes to integrate the primary schools of the two villages.

The old men in Chenjia Village also attach great importance to rituals. They think that the restoration of relations between the two villages is a big deal and must be taken seriously.

On the third day, the Chenjia Village Council beat gongs and drums and sent a large plaque with the words "Good Neighborliness and Friendship".

According to the rules, such plaques must be sent to each other. Chenjia Village sent a plaque, and Xiasha Village also had to return one.

The plaque sent by Chenjia Village was made of nanmu, and it is estimated that a plaque would cost hundreds of yuan.

In addition to the plaque, the old men in Chenjia Village hope that Xiasha Village will invite a troupe to perform on the island.

Chenjia Village will perform for half a month, and Xiasha Village will also perform for half a month to wash away the bad luck of the past hundred years.

After the performance, the people in the Chenjia Village Council hope that the two villages will hold a formal event to establish friendly neighbors, and invite photographers to take pictures.

Looking at the requirements put forward by Chenjia Village, Li Duoyu's face turned black. He thought that burning the talisman paper in front of the Tianhou Temple would be enough.

I didn't expect that there would be so many rules and so much money to be spent later.

In this era, if you invite a troupe to perform in the village, the minimum cost for one day is fifty yuan, and for half a month, it would be seven hundred and fifty yuan.

Add to that the plaque and various expenses, and it would cost at least one thousand yuan.

And there is only eighty-nine yuan left in the fund account of the Xiasha Village Committee. Not to mention inviting a troupe, they can't even afford a plaque, so how can they have so much money to hold these messy celebration ceremonies.

However, when encountering such a big event.

The advantages of the clan council of Chenjia Village were immediately reflected.

The clan council can ask the villagers for money with confidence. Even if each household only pays one yuan, the council can receive more than one thousand yuan.

But Xiasha Village is different.

In the meeting room, several village cadres gathered together, their faces were uglier than each other. Now the village committee itself can't even make ends meet, so how can they have the money to do so many fancy things.

But Chenjia Village attaches so much importance to it, and the relationship between the two villages is breaking the ice, so they are embarrassed to pour cold water.

Zhang Jinsha hesitated for a while and said, "How about I donate a hundred yuan first, and we can make the plaque first and send it to them first."

Li Duoyu thought for a while and shook his head. He felt that this kind of donation trend should not be allowed. Otherwise, if Zhang Jinsha donated money, as the "first burden" of the village, wouldn't he have to donate more money.

I am here to be the village director, not a boy who makes money.

And as a man of two generations, he knows very well that the more you help the village, the more grateful the villagers will be to you.

It may even be counterproductive. Small favors and small favors can nourish nobles, while large favors and large favors can nourish enemies. This is especially common in rural areas.

I remember that in my previous life here in Shangfeng Town, there was a boss who went abroad to make a lot of money and came back to help the villagers build villas for free.

He originally planned to build one for each household, but he underestimated the greed of human nature and some villagers with relatively large households.

I think it is unfair that other people with two or three people on their household registration are allotted a villa, and eight or nine people on their household registration are also only allocated one villa.

So they asked the rich man who was a philanthropist to build three villas for them according to their population. In the end, the rich man was so angry that he left the country and did not even want to return to his hometown.

But the villagers still treated him unmercifully. They often scolded him behind his back, saying that he was not trustworthy and ran away after half the villa was built.

As for Li Duoyu, he also has a bottom line. He can help the villagers, but it is limited to teaching them how to make money, and he cannot directly give them money.

If you give less, others won’t be particularly grateful to you. If you give too much, if you don’t express your displeasure, you might actually harm the people in the village.

Zhang Jinsha asked:

"What should we do if we don't have money? The old men in Chenjiacun take this matter very seriously. Yesterday they were asking us when the plaque would be ready."

Li Duoyu also had a headache and felt as if he had shot himself in the foot. He asked his second brother, who was the village accountant:

"Does our village committee still have assets that can be sold?"

Li Yaoguo shook his head. "It's gone. There are only some casuarinas that haven't grown up yet, but I guess no one wants them."

The corner of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched. Damn it, a dignified island village committee could be so poor.

Li Duoyu really wants to learn from the Wang brothers in his previous life and bring in an outside investment company to directly contract the breeding waters of Dandan Island, so that the village committee can receive a large sum of money every year.

And just when everyone was helpless.

Qingguang ran to the village committee to find Li Duoyu and said excitedly: "Brother, that beautiful sister who dresses very well is here to see you again."

After hearing this.

Several village cadres looked at each other in confusion, looked at Li Duoyu through colored glasses, and made "tsk tsk" sounds.

Seeing everyone's strange looks, Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think blindly, we're just business partners."

As soon as Qing Guang said it, Li Duoyu knew who was coming, but when he thought of Chen Yuan Yuan, Li Duoyu suddenly slapped his forehead.

I was worried about money just now and didn't want to send money, so I delivered it to my door in person.

Li Duoyu hurried to the dock and personally greeted Chen Yuanyou, the money-giving girl.

He invited her to the village committee very enthusiastically and brought out the old Cong Narcissus that Manager An Yuliang had given him earlier to entertain her.

After the two sides had a brief chat.

Only then did Li Duoyu learn that Chen Yuanyu's visit was actually related to the island nation's inspection team.

Like his kelp farming and eel farming projects, her soon-to-open Japanese food store has also become an important inspection point for the inspection team.

This time she came, she added many more varieties of sashimi, and asked Li Duoyu to ensure the supply of sashimi during that period.

"No problem, I will 100% arrange it for you this time. When the time comes, I will personally go to sea and catch some red sea bream, croakers, and sea bream for you."

"Come on, let's drink tea first."

"Uncle Liao, please have some sun-dried peanuts from our village."

Facing Li Duoyu's sudden enthusiasm, Chen Yuanyu felt a little uncomfortable.

Came here a few times before.

Li Duoyu seemed to be afraid of something and wanted to drive her away quickly. Not only did he agree readily this time, he also invited her to drink tea with him.

"Director Li, has anything good happened recently?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Manager Chen, you really guessed it. Next, we have a major event on Dandan Island. Would you like your Xinyuan company to participate together?"

"Major event?" Chen Yuanyou asked curiously.

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "That's right. After a hundred years, our Xiasha Village and the neighboring Chenjia Village have finally reconciled. Our two villages plan to hold some activities in the next month."

Chen Yuanyou smiled and said:

"This is a good thing, congratulations."

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

“It’s such a big event, and if only our two villages are involved, it always feels like something is missing.

If a big company like yours can participate and witness the activities of our two villages establishing friendly neighbors, it will definitely be a great success for our two villages. "

Although Li Duoyu didn't say it explicitly, the village cadres present heard that they, the village director, had gone around for a long time and planned to have someone pay for it.

However, they think this is unrealistic. How can he be so stupid? If the two villages are reconciled and they don't care about their company, why should they pay for activities for your two villages?

But what shocked them was that Manager Chen actually started thinking about it seriously and discussed it with his colleagues.

Not long after.

Chen Yuanyou smiled and said: "Director Li, what benefits can our company get if we participate?"

Li Duoyu said seriously: "How can there be no benefit? Doesn't Manager Chen think that having good relations with our two villages is the greatest benefit?"

Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping twitched their mouths. Anyone who has ever done aquaculture business knows the status of Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company in Rongcheng. On weekdays, farmers and fishermen like them would like to hold on to this God of Wealth.

But Li Duoyu said it as if their two villages were the gods of wealth, and Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company's friendship with them was already the greatest benefit.

This is too valuing of oneself.

It's so shameless.

But what Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping didn't expect was that the beautiful manager Chen actually started serious discussions with his colleagues again.

This is nothing to discuss.

This is nothing to discuss.

After a group of people discussed for a while, Chen Yuanyou said seriously: "Yes, but we also have conditions. In every scene, the host must say that it is sponsored by our Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, and it must be in a conspicuous position. Post an introduction to our company.”

After hearing this answer, the village cadres looked at each other in shock, not expecting that the other party would actually agree.

Li Duoyu asked the village cadres: "Can everyone accept these requirements made by Manager Chen?"

Several village cadres didn't even think twice and replied directly: "Yes, of course it's no problem."

To them, it doesn't matter if they read the sponsor's name in every scene. "

Chen Yuanyou then asked: "Director Li, how much funding will you need for this event?"

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Not much, just about one thousand and fifty."

Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping's mouths twitched.

Isn’t this enough?

One thousand yuan is obviously enough, so why add five hundred more.

Chen Yuanyou smiled but did not agree on the spot: "Director Li, I am just a marketing manager. I have to give the general manager approval before I go back."

After hearing this, Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping sighed and asked you to open your mouth. If you get five hundred yuan, they might agree.

One thousand and five words.

Even a big company like Xinyuan Aquatic Products had to think about it carefully, but what the two of them didn't expect was.

Li Duoyu actually smiled and said: "Manager Chen, please hurry up. The activities in our two villages will start soon. Engraving plaques also takes time. If it's late, maybe these village cadres will go find them." Other companies.”

Zhang Jinsha and Tang Ping have very dark faces. There is a ghost company that is willing to give us money.

"Go back and I'll report to the general manager immediately."

Immediately afterwards, a group of village cadres went to the dock to watch Chen Yuanyu leave.

After the group dispersed.

Zhang Jinsha couldn't help but ask Tang Ping: "Brother Tang, do you think Duoyu is having an affair with this girl?"

Tang Ping rolled his eyes and asked, "If it were you, if you had an affair with this girl, would you still cheat her like this?"

Zhang Jinsha chuckled and said, "If I had an affair with such a beautiful and rich woman, I would be so stupid that I would give her all my heart and become my son-in-law right away, not just a fisherman."

"So, this is the difference between us and the village director. We are not on the same level at all." (End of Chapter)
