Chapter 33, For a Better Tomorrow

When Li Ya arrived at the port of Vancouver, he didn't expect that someone would come to pick him up, and there were many people. When he stepped out of the hatch and onto the deck, he saw that the dock was full of people.

When I looked at it, I saw Zheng Lao, Sister Huang, and Shu Yue standing at the front, and hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "Uncle Zheng, Sister Huang, I just came back from fishing, why are so many people coming?"

Zheng Lao smiled: "You are not ordinary people who go out to fish. I know that in the two months you have been out, the mutual aid association has increased by 10 million. If it weren't for your 10 million, our compatriots wouldn't know where they are wandering now. Now more than 20,000 people have come. ”

Li Ya sighed: "More than 20,000 people is not much. The current situation in Vietnam, the compatriots there will be driven out. For hundreds of thousands of years, the Chinese have lived and multiplied in Vietnam, and there are probably two or three million people. Even if the mainland accepts most of them, the compatriots in South Vietnam will not be able to go back to the mainland if they want to, and hundreds of thousands of them will be scattered all over the world. **, Southeast Asia, and other places, we also have to do our best here. ”

Zheng Lao smiled: "It's okay, it's all shunted out now." Canada is the second largest country in the world, with just over 20 million people, and the vast majority of them are engaged in industry and services, with agriculture accounting for only 4 to 5 percent. The south is heavily populated, while the north is sparsely populated. Even if another 200,000 come, it can be diverted. However, there is also the problem that most people don't speak English. ”

"I don't speak English, so I have to teach it slowly, or I can run a simple evening school. If you have to work during the day, then study at night, so that everyone can have a simple communication as soon as possible. Just when everyone is tired from a long day of work, they sit together and cheer for home, but in English. Li Ya can't help it, now he just has no money, and he has to work to earn money to make a living, so he can only come up with such an idea because of his ugliness.

"By the way, I have to thank you Shu Yue. Thank you for taking care of me for the past two months, if I come by myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of it. Li Ya thanked Shu Yue again.

Sister Huang smiled: "Of course you have to thank Xiaoyue, these two months are to manage the factory and the farm." For fear of betraying your trust, running on both sides without touching the ground, people are tired and thin, and tanned. Not only is the factory reopen, but there are many orders, and now the factory is working in two shifts, and the crops are planted on your farm. Everything is well organized. ”

Shu Yue lowered her head and stroked her hair that was blown by the north wind, and said, "I haven't managed factories and farms either, and I was busy at the beginning, taking care of the end of the day. It took a long time to barely smooth it out. There were many people who helped to be able to sign back so many orders. ”

Zheng Lao smiled: "Xiaoyue, don't be modest. The first time you were managing a factory and a farm, you had just graduated from school, and you were able to manage more than 1,000 or 2,000 people in two places at once, which was a rare experience. How about it, did your teacher praise you when you graduated?"

Shu Yue said a little shy and a little excited: "It's okay." ”

Sister Huang smiled: "Li Ya, Xiaoyue has graduated now, do you think you want to keep her as a manager?"

Li Ya smiled: "I don't know how to speak, eldest sister, you just asked, then I'll tell you what I think." As for me, I grew up in a rural area, I have only been in college for more than a month, and I am still a physics major, so I don't know much about factories, let alone management. And I just came to Canada, I don't know anything, I definitely can't manage the factory well, but the farm is okay. In this way, Shu Yue became the general manager, responsible for all the affairs of the factory, and also had to take care of the farm, which crops are suitable for planting on the farm, and which livestock are more marketable. I'm not familiar with Canada. ”

"Xiao Yue has to be in charge of both the factory and the farm, isn't this the same as now?"

Li Ya said confidently: "Of course I don't understand, I have to take care of someone who understands." I'm in charge of the day-to-day management of the farm. There are large hillsides on the farm, which are not suitable for farming, and the livestock industry has to be developed. You see, here comes the thing. Shu Yue, you look at the contact contact, buy some beef and milk cattle back to raise, try the water first this year, and then increase the scale of breeding next year when you have experience. You're in charge of buying and selling this farm. I'll take a look at the rest, hey, what kind of bird is that? On the way back, I saw a lot of flocks?" asked Li Ya, pointing to a few big birds in the distance.

Zheng Lao looked up and said, "This is a black goose, and the adult ones weigh four or five kilograms. The meat is good, it is often hunted, and there are restaurants in the city. ”

Li Ya said happily: "The meat of this black goose is delicious, look at the adult one meter long, if you breed it, you can't fly if you eat it well." With such a large body size, it can grow to seven or eight kilograms. It seems that this black goose is going to be bred first, which is very promising. Feathers can be used to make down jackets, meat can be eaten, and eggs can be eaten. In addition to black geese, there are also red deer, I read the introduction above, there are many wild red deer in Canada, and red deer are also a good choice. Deer antler deer fetal deer tendon venison is a good thing, but there are not many in China. ”

Zheng Lao smiled: "When I was young, I often went hunting, red deer are strong and run fast, it is easy to kill, but it is difficult to catch alive." ”

Li Ya said with a smile: "No matter how cunning the fox is, he can't fight the old hunter, but I often go into the mountains, and I am skilled in looking for prey, laying traps, and setting traps." Red deer is just that, even a bear and a brown bear can catch it alive. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten bear paws yet, are bears in Canada protected animals? Is there anyone who can make bear paws? I have the opportunity to try them. ”

Zheng Lao smiled: "Bears are not protected animals, and they will definitely have a chance to eat them in the future." ”

Sister Huang smiled: "You guy wants to come out of the way, this is just back, take a good rest first, don't get tired." ”

Li Ya looked at the dock and said: "Call a few taels of cars to come over, I'm afraid that there are dozens or hundreds of tons of low-priced fish in the cabin, I think the price is too low, it's not cost-effective to sell, it just happens that there are too many people here to eat dried fish." Dried fish is not tasty, but now is not the time for picky eaters. ”

A boatload of fish, most of which was sold to the fishing company and hauled away, and the rest was loaded into five or two truckloads. Settle the account with the boat owner, because the deposit was too much, so in the end, there was still money left for the last fish sale, so the fishing company wrote two checks, one for Li Ya and the boat owner. The remuneration of the first mate and the crew has long been paid to them, and the last time it will have to be settled by the bank.

Li Ya went to the bank to transfer the money, and everything was settled. After coming out, the first mate held Li Ya's hand and smiled: "Thank you! My good luck captain! Without you, I don't know when I will be able to live in the big villa." ”

Li Ya smiled: "Mr. First Officer, this is what you deserve." But, with all due respect, brother, sooner or later the money will be spent. Now I live in a good house and drive a good car, and I have to work hard to make money when I run out of money. ”

The first mate shrugged and said, "Do you want to be as frugal as you Chinese? Indeed, these foreigners think differently from the Chinese, preferring to eat grain rather than save, and often owe bank debts. That's why when the economic crisis hits, many people go bankrupt and have to eat relief, because they don't have any property at all. I owe a lot of debts to the bank, and I have lost my job here, and I don't have a ghost if I don't go bankrupt.

Li Ya smiled: "I took over a closed refrigerator factory, and it has been more than a month now. ”

The first mate smiled: "I know that this refrigerator factory has closed down due to the lack of competitiveness of its products. ”

Li Ya nodded and said: "It's this factory, although its technology is not as good as the best refrigerator on the market, but it is not much different." Due to the high salaries of workers, the prices remain high and cannot be sold in the market. I took over the factory, and the workers were my compatriots from Vietnam, and the wages were just over half of what they were supposed to be. However, my compatriots are working actively, and the productivity is now 138 percent higher than before. The previous boss used to work eight hours, now we work ten hours. Moreover, the original damage rate is also lower. The purchase of raw materials is large, the price is lower, so the price of our products is much lower. Now the supply is in short supply, and we are planning to increase production capacity. ”
