Chapter 552: Failed the Test, and the Thunder Broke Out (5000 Words) (1/2)

The day after the opening ceremony of the shrimp farm, Li Duoyu and his shrimp farm appeared on the front page of Rongcheng Daily.

Most of the entire front page is related to Li Duoyu, and the title uses the sentence Li Duoyu said in his speech: strive to be world-class and open up overseas markets.

Minlong Shrimp Farming Base has achieved initial success and will provide shrimp seedlings to shrimp farmers free of charge within two years.

At the end of the page, there is also an article: Learning from Comrade Li Duoyu.

After the newspaper came out, several well-dressed middle-aged people in a foreign-style building on the Ludao side knitted their brows together after seeing the newspaper.

"This is too biased, isn't it? And the leader's article, is this innuendo, talking about us?"

Someone also asked: "Mr. Sun, is that Li Duoyu from Dandan Island really raising shrimp seedlings?"

Sun Xiangdong knocked on the table and said: "If it was really that easy, we would have done it a long time ago. The manpower and material resources required to cultivate high-quality shrimp seedlings cannot be afforded by ordinary companies. Besides, conducting research is not a matter of one or two years; Keep burning money.”

"If it's like what you said, this Li Duoyu is not trying to deceive the boss and deliberately get a loan, right?"

"It's really hard to tell."

Sun Xiangdong knocked on the table and said: "Whether he can do it or not, it is not a good thing for us at Haixin. I think everyone should know how to do it. At the critical moment, we still have to unite and cannot be defeated by one person." You little brat, just act like a monkey.”

Someone said: "I think Li Duoyu's foundation should be his eel farming. As long as this foundation is destroyed, he will not be able to make waves."

Sun Xiangdong continued to knock on the table and asked: "By the way, how is Mr. Zhang doing? It seems that the eels will be shipped in the next two days."

"Mr. Zhang said that there was a small problem, but the overall impact was not big. By then, there will still be 200,000 eels exported."

Sun Xiangdong frowned: "This is different from what we agreed at the beginning. We are aiming for a scale of 500,000."

Someone said helpfully: "How can we succeed from the beginning? We also took a big detour in the beginning of shrimp farming and lost a lot of money before we got high-quality shrimp seedlings."

Sun Xiangdong smiled slightly and stopped continuing the topic when he saw someone speaking for him.

Almost at this time, someone on Dandan Island saw a large ship heading towards Nanri Town.

When passing near Dandan Island, a whistle was blown, and even Li Duoyu, who worked in the eel factory, heard it.

Chen Wenchao said: "Brother Yu, this boat looks similar to the big boat that came to buy your eels last year."

Li Duoyu nodded: "This boat should be going to Nanri Town to collect eels."

Chen Wenchao frowned and said, "They have raised them too."

Li Duoyu smiled, raising and raising well are two completely different concepts.

As the ship docked at the largest pier in Nanri Town, all employees at Haixin Eel Factory were very happy.

After working hard for more than a year, it’s finally time to harvest.

Several leaders of the eel factory said: "That Li Duoyu is nothing special. Although we have killed a lot of eels, we have also survived a lot."

"But facts have proven that our breeding model is still feasible. If orders double next year, we only need to continue to double the size of the eel pond."

Zhang Xuejin's mouth twitched when he heard this. To be honest, raising these eels almost killed him.

Principal Chen urged him to go back to teach, but he didn't even have time to go back. Now the school party committee held a special meeting to discuss his stay because of his personal style.

If it were to double in size, his status as a school teacher would be 100% unprotected.

On the day the live fish boat arrived, Zhang Sanming directly contracted the best restaurant in the town.

He warmly received buyers from island countries, as well as staff from the Customs and Foreign Trade Bureau.

In fact, Zhang Sanming was not very familiar with the purchasers from these island countries. He first got in touch with them through the Foreign Trade Bureau.

In this era of foreign exchange earning, the Foreign Trade Bureau does a lot of things. As long as you have suitable export goods, the Bureau can find ways to help you find a buyer.

Simply put, the Foreign Trade Bureau itself is the largest salesperson.

In order to treat this meal, Zhang Sanming spent a lot of money and purchased a lot of rare game in advance.

The embarrassing thing is that apart from seafood and rice, these island people are not particularly interested in owl meat, white pheasant meat, and bear paws.

Furthermore, Maotai only had one or two sips. Instead, he preferred local seafood and rice wine, and also ate a lot of white rice.

On this day, dozens of eel ponds have begun to release water, and all fishing personnel are in place.

But what Zhang Sanming didn't expect was that the eel buyer named Fujiwara didn't transport the eels directly.

Instead, they took a lot of water samples from each eel pond, and then selected a few eels in each pond to be sent to their ship for quarantine testing.

Zhang Sanming was quite puzzled, and then asked a quarantine officer: "What are you trying to test?"

The technician replied: "According to requirements, live fish products must undergo quarantine inspection before they can be exported."

After hearing this, Zhang Sanming and Zhang Xuejin broke out in cold sweat and couldn't help but look at the salesman who had taken the lead for them.

"Chief Lin, when we signed the contract, we didn't seem to say that we would test this."

Lin Shengjin frowned and said, "Yes, I emphasized to you the other day that the export of live fish must comply with the quarantine standards of the importing party, and it is clearly written in the contract."

Zhang Sanming did not believe it and took out the contract immediately. There was indeed a clause written on it.

[For the export of live fish, please refer to the "Precautions for Inspection of Exported Live Fish". The other party's import standards shall prevail. ]

Zhang Sanming's face was dark. The contract was so thick, and everyone was more concerned about the price. Who would pay attention to these short thirty-odd words?

Besides, he drank a lot of wine on the day of discussing cooperation, so how could he remember what Chief Lin said to him.

Zhang Xuejin was also sweating profusely. In fact, he had long felt that there might be problems with the medicine purchased from the expert in the overseas province.

Otherwise, the effect of the medicine could not be so immediate.

Seeing that Zhang Sanming's forehead was sweating all the time, Lin Shengjin's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This business was counted as his. When he got this business, he didn't know how many people in the bureau envied him.

There are even rumors that as long as this order is completed, he is likely to become the best candidate for the next director.

Lin Shengjin couldn't help asking: "Boss Zhang, why are you sweating so much? There should be no problem with our batch of eels."

Zhang Sanming wiped his sweat: "Definitely no problem. I am afraid of heat. When I get hot, I sweat all over my head."

"You are sweating profusely and your body is weak." Lin Shengjin smiled and said: "Boss Zhang, we are in the same boat now. Please don't drag me down."

"No, how is it possible."

To be honest, Zhang Sanming really wants to run away now, because his intuition tells him that he probably won't pass the test this time.

But he still has a glimmer of luck.

Maybe the expert from the overseas province gave him a new drug, and the other party couldn't detect it?

Maybe,

they are not testing for drug residues or something like that, but for other things.

He didn't believe it. Eels are so difficult to raise. Li Duoyu didn't add anything to the pond, and he passed the inspection. There must be no problem with him.

However, the test had just begun, and the testing equipment on the live fish boats kept alarming and flashing red lights.

"Chloramphenicol test, failed."

"Parasite test, failed."

"Salmonella test, failed."

"Antibiotic test, failed."

A quarantine officer wearing protective clothing said: "The veterinary drug residue index is seriously exceeded and does not meet the purchase conditions."

After a whole day of testing, except for the freshness test, the rest of the tests were almost wiped out.

This eel buyer from the island country had a dark face throughout the whole process, holding a lot of unqualified test results.

After arriving at the Haixin Eel Factory, he cursed loudly and looked very angry.

Lin Shengjin from the Foreign Trade Bureau and the people from the customs were all dumbfounded. Although they didn't understand, the other party looked so angry that it was obvious that something had happened. Zhang Sanming and Zhang Xuejin's hands and feet instantly became cold, and the last bit of luck in their hearts was pinched off.

The female translator from the Foreign Trade Bureau filtered out the international lingo of greeting other people's ancestors and repeated the words of the eel buyer.

"Mr. Fujiwara said that our batch of eels does not meet the export standards and all tests failed. He is not going to buy eels."

"According to the agreement, we have to compensate him for his travel expenses and subsequent economic losses, a total of 300,000 yuan."

After hearing this, Lin Shengjin looked at the accompanying translator and smiled bitterly: "Zeng Mei, this is a very serious occasion, don't tell us that you are not joking."

The female translator said seriously: "Chief Lin, do you think I am joking?"

Lin Shengjin clenched his fists suddenly, and the veins on his forehead popped up. He felt that his career seemed to have come to an end.

He looked at Zhang Sanming angrily and asked tremblingly: "Mr. Zhang, what did you do to the eels? How did you fail all the tests?"

Last year, he participated in the export of eels by Li Duoyu with the director. I remember that after the other party finished the test, all the indicators passed, and they praised Director Li.

Even he said that even he couldn't do it so well.

I thought that Zhang Sanming and his team had experience in shrimp farming and should be more reliable. When the contract was signed, he also boasted about all kinds of things at the wine party, so he dared to take on this business.

But I didn't expect it to be a big pit.

Lin Shengjin gritted his teeth. This time he was really hurt. According to the agreement, not only did he not earn foreign exchange, but he might even have to pay for foreign exchange.

This is still unheard of in the bureau.

At this moment, Zhang Sanming was sweating profusely, but his hands and feet felt cold: "If the test is so strict, how did Li Duoyu pass it?"

"Mr. Fujiwara, is the test result wrong? Otherwise, let's test it again."

After the translation, the Japanese man said even more angrily: "Do you think we are as lax as you? We tested it three times before we got this result."

Lin Shengjin's last fantasy was shattered, and now he was thinking about how to end this matter.

The first thing he thought of was the leader of this matter, the local county committee.

He directly called the county committee using the phone number of Haixin Eel Factory, and it took less than half a day.

Because he was close to Li Duoyu, Zhang Sanming did not invite the new county chief for this foreign trade transaction.

But Zhang Sanming never expected that he would be invited in this way.

After County Chief Tao rushed to Haixin Eel Factory and learned about the situation, his brows were furrowed. This happened in their county and it is very likely to affect the county's foreign exchange quota.

He was too lazy to scold people and said on the spot: "Chief Lin, General Manager Zhang, this matter seems to have nothing to do with our county."

Chief Lin said: "County Chief Tao, this matter was led by the county committee at the beginning, and our Foreign Trade Bureau was also involved."

County Chief Tao smiled and said: "Who took the lead."

"Zhang"

Halfway through the words, Lin Shengjin swallowed the name back. The new official could not settle the old accounts.

Fujiwara was very tough and kept asking the Foreign Trade Bureau to compensate for their losses.

Zhang Sanming also started to argue, saying that the islanders deliberately raised the detection threshold, which was a fraud.

On this issue, the four parties were in a mess, and no one wanted to take the responsibility.

Seeing several big men quarreling and slamming the table in the office, the employees of Haixin Eel Factory also noticed something was wrong.

"But the water is halfway through, can we catch the eels? The weather is so hot, if it continues like this, the eels will die."

In fact, when the islanders were testing, eels kept dying in the eel pond.

But once they died, they were caught by the staff, collected and put into the cold storage.

The cold storage now exudes a foul smell, and these staff can't help but feel nauseous every time they go in and out.

Because the anus of these dead eels has a foul-smelling liquid flowing out, and there are too many dead eels, the smell is extremely bad.

The workers were also very curious: "Where did these dead eels go?"

"We are here to get paid, so don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

"I don't know which unlucky people will eat these dead eels. During this period, I have to remind my family not to buy eels to eat."

After arguing until late at night, Fujiwara, who bought the eels, directly asked the live fish boat to add water to the cabin. He was so angry that he left Nanri Town overnight.

The foreign trade order fell through, but the matter was not over. Before leaving, Fujiwara said that if he did not compensate for his losses, he would report this matter to them.

Now, Lin Shengjin's mind is blank, but he is not brainless.

Such a big thing, he certainly can't handle it alone, so he rushed back to the Foreign Trade Bureau overnight, explained the situation to the director, and tried his best to push the responsibility to Hai Xin and Zhang Xianjin.

Zhang Sanming and Zhang Xuejin couldn't sleep at all. The matter was developing in a completely uncontrollable direction.

But what lies before them now is that the eels have failed to be exported, but they are still dying. Just now, they were made easier to catch.

The water in the pond has been almost drained. After more than a day, the eels are dying in large numbers.

A staff member asked: "Mr. Zhang, our eels are still dying. What should we do?"

Zhang Sanming gritted his teeth and became fierce. Now all he can do is to reduce the economic losses.

If he can't make it in Rongcheng, he might as well not stay in Rongcheng. Anyway, these lands were rented to him cheaply by the county.

The most important thing now is how to explain and account to the shareholders of Haixin Company. As long as he doesn't lose too much, he can explain that he still has a chance to make a comeback.

"Invite the fish killers in the town, and we will kill the eels overnight."

Zhang Sanming said to Zhang Xuejin: "You go and contact the processing plant and ask them to prepare more ingredients. We will try to grill all the eels within this week."

In fact, up to now, Zhang Xuejin's brain is blank, and he regrets raising this eel very much.

But it's too late to say anything now, because he and Mr. Zhang are in the same boat now.

He has handled many dirty things, and if he has problems, he will definitely not be able to escape.

"Okay, I'll contact the processing factory right away." Zhang Xuejin asked, "Which packaging should we use?"

Zhang Sanming said fiercely, "Li Duoyu's eels are also going to be on the market. He can't export all of them. What packaging should we use? If there is a problem, what does it have to do with us?"

"Do things cleanly, treat the heads of the processing factory and the printing factory well, and don't let the secret out, okay?"

Zhang Xuejin couldn't help but wipe his cold sweat. Although he knew Mr. Zhang's methods before, judging from his performance today, this man is more cruel than he imagined.

In fact, he also knew that the poisoning of Li Duoyu's eel pond was 100% related to him.

Because when those people were arrested, Zhang Sanming almost smashed his office.

He also kept cursing: "The people of Dandan Island are all sons of bitches. They took my money and dared to turn against me."

To be honest, Zhang Xuejin is really scared now, but he can't turn back. This time, he is too deep.

At this moment, he envied his colleagues. Although they didn't get much money, they were only responsible for raising eels and didn't care about other things.

"Alas!"

Zhang Xuejin sighed heavily. If he hadn't competed with Li Duoyu at the beginning, he might not have embarked on the path of raising eels.

It's too late to say anything now!

But he still couldn't figure out how a street kid who graduated from junior high school could be better than a group of professionals.

He even started a shrimp farming business. If I guessed correctly, Li Duoyu should still be successful in shrimp farming this time.

"Hehe~~"

Zhang Xuejin laughed at himself. (End of this chapter)
