Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 126
Linshui Pearl Cultivation Test Station.
All the researchers at the test station showed excitement and joy on their faces. They actually cultivated a super giant pearl. An oval seawater pearl with a small bead attached to the top of the pearl, which looks like a small gourd, with both blessing and divinity.
All researchers are addicted to its “beauty”, and everyone’s eyes are as bright as seeing the divine light in the dark night.
They found the light in the night, they saw the light!
This is the first time that they have successfully cultivated super giant pearls using the mother-of-pearl plugging technology. The pearls they cultivated are one gram heavier than the largest pearl in the world at that time.
“It worked! It worked!”
“This is the King of Pearls!”
…
When researcher Yao Changtai saw the pearl, his entire hand trembled, and they dared not touch the large pearl that was as magnificent as a gem in their eyes.
“Big news, big news, the Pearl King has been cultivated on Qiongzhou Island!”
All kinds of newspaper reporters are rushing to Qiongzhou Island, they are going to the test station for interviews, they are going to take pictures of the Pearl King, not only reporters, but also foreign businessmen who follow the news, like to join in the fun The merchants were very curious about this magical pearl king.
This pearl king is kept in the experimental station. The researchers of the experimental station come to pay homage to it every day. In the past few days, the personnel of the experimental station have received several people from other places. All kinds of researchers, to introduce them to this amazing pearl.
The villagers of Linshuixin Village also came to the test station to see the so-called Pearl King, but they were not interested in this pearl and did not understand the excitement of the researchers.
“Isn’t this a beautiful stone?”
“It doesn’t look good either.”
“And what’s the use of these researchers studying this all day long?”
…
The villagers are not interested in this so-called pearl, they don’t know the meaning of the birth of this pearl, and they don’t know how much changes will happen in their village in the future.
Qin Rou learned the news of the birth of the Pearl King. She returned to Qiongzhou Island from Guangcheng by boat and came to her pearl cultivation factory.
Not only the researchers at the experimental station were overwhelmed with excitement, but even the people in their pearl cultivation factory were equally excited. The first batch of pearls from their Xunrou cultivation factory was about to come out.
“Open the pearl!”
People in the breeding factory are working overtime to open pearls. The first batch of pearls produced in the breeding factory is not many, about three hundred kilograms, some of which are contracted by Qin Rou in the deep sea. Natural pearls produced from salvaged mother-of-pearl oysters.
These natural pearls are precious and extremely rare.
“It’s so beautiful! It’s so beautiful! These are all pearls! Pearls!!” Meng Lan’s expression was extremely excited. In front of her eyes were baskets of beautiful and dazzling pearls. Under the reflection, those pearls were so dazzling that she couldn’t open her eyes.
What a radiance! Bring the light of hope! How can there be such a beautiful thing in this world!
Tears burst out from Meng Lan’s eyes. This is the pearl they have been guarding and cultivating hard every day.
The work of opening pearls is still going on, and Qin Rou is also opening pearls by herself. They also asked a few villagers to help.
“Uncle, where is the pearl in your hand just now?” Qin Rou stood in front of an uncle in his forties and fifties with a very serious expression.
In the process of opening pearls, it is inevitable that some people secretly hide pearls, thinking that they can fish in troubled waters.
The uncle coughed and took out a pearl from his pocket, “It’s here, not here…”
“You have so many pearls here, so what if you take one or two away? You are such a stingy girl.”
“Isn’t it just a broken stone, and you have worked so hard to dig it out, and you have nothing to do when you are idle.”
…
“Uncle, we don’t need you to work here.”
A Shi brought a brother out to invite this uncle out, and settled him a day’s wages.
He just saw the beauty of these pearls and wanted to take a few back. Who knew the people in this factory were so stingy.
Working in the factory, who doesn’t secretly take some back to subsidize the family?
“It’s not in a cannery, I don’t want to take this kind of broken stone yet.”
…
“Be careful, you can’t steal pearls, factory manager, you must send a few people to guard when opening pearls, and count them carefully.”
Qin Rou nodded, she was very satisfied with Ashi’s strict management of the factory.
Thousands of pearls have been opened, and then there is a very careful and complicated classification of pearls. They must carefully screen large and small pearls, not only by size, but also by quality of pearls. .
, the highest quality pearls of this batch.
Her fingers are white and beautiful, with gorgeous pearls spread out in her palm, Qin Rou’s movements are extremely careful, for fear of damaging these beautiful little things.
“It’s so beautiful!” Qin Rou said sincerely.
These pearls are round in shape, basically invisible to the naked eye, and perfectly stunning. The pearl necklaces made of such pearls will also be high-quality pearl necklaces.
The first, second and third grade pearls are all pearls that can be used to make jewelry, and the remaining fourth and fifth grade pearls can only be used to grind pearl powder. class.
“A lot of pearls!” Meng Lan found herself surrounded by so many pearls, it was like a dream.
These gorgeous jewels from the sea surround her like this, making her a little at a loss. She has been farming and feeding pigs since she was a child, but… But she doesn’t know how to get along with these beautiful beads .
“Sister Qin Rou, will anyone come to buy so many pearls?” This is a question that has always been buried in Menglan’s heart.
These pearls are beautiful, but is anyone really willing to pay for them?
I have never heard of how to sell pearls in the past, they can’t even eat, what is the use of pearls?
If you want to sell pearls, how do you sell them, and to whom?
If they can’t be sold, these beautiful pearls can only be piled up in simple warehouses.
“Don’t worry, it will sell!”
Qin Rou is confident that these pearls are not difficult to sell, in fact, it is the case, where is this now? Easy to sell.
The pearls produced are of high quality.
The news that the Pearl King was cultivated in Qiongzhou Island spread everywhere, and many people came to the island to visit this rare super giant pearl.
Galler is a Chinese from Southeast Asia. He often travels to Europe and the United States to do business. Now that China has an open policy, there are many preferential policies. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is an opportunity to make a lot of money. He is also taking advantage of it. Opportunity, I want to invest and set up factories in the coastal area.
His clothing factory was established, and Gao Le heard that giant pearls were cultivated on Qiongzhou Island, so he came to watch the fun. Gao Le was originally a pearl lover and had a deep understanding of all kinds of pearls. Understand, so let’s take a look at the pearls cultivated on this South Island.
Gawler first went to the test station to see the sensational king of pearls. This pearl is beautiful and rare, and has great significance. It is estimated that it will be preserved in the museum as a collection in the future.
“Is there a pearl cultivation factory here?” Knowing from the researchers that there is a pearl cultivation factory on the island, Gowler wanted to go to the pearl cultivation factory to see the quality of the pearls produced here .
Gauer came to the Xunrou Pearl Farm, and his brows furrowed slightly.
I have to say that the breeding factory in front of me is really too rudimentary, although it is not shabby, but these shabby houses… It really does not look like a serious breeding factory.
“I want to see the pearls in your factory.”
It happened that Qin Rou was in the factory, she received this foreign businessman Gaole, Qin Rou saw his dress well, knew that he had been to several continents and was doing foreign trade business, and immediately I was moved.
Qin Rou took out a string of pearl necklaces, this string of necklaces is not ordinary, it is the highest quality pearls in this batch, round and beautiful, even you can’t find it any flaws.
This can be said to be their “treasure of the town”.
In addition to this string of pearl necklaces, Qin Rou also took out more than a dozen beautiful natural seawater pearls, all of which are natural pearls. Just its meaning makes people like it.
“This…this is the pearl you cultivated!” Gowler is a know-it-all, he was completely impressed when he saw this string of pearls, this this this… This turned out to be him in a simple factory building something seen.
Shouldn’t such a precious necklace appear in the noble gathering of the gorgeous castle?
Now it was lying so quietly in his hand.
My God! !
“Have you sold your pearl necklace? I want it! I want it! Do you have any other pearls here? Let me see them all!”
Gawler couldn’t hold back his excited expression at all, such a high-quality pearl, I have to take it… I have sent it, he will send it! !
That string of pearl necklaces was taken away by Gowler at the price of five thousand US dollars. At this time, the ratio of the US dollar to the domestic currency was 1:1.49, which means that one US dollar can be exchanged for 1.49 yuan. about domestic currency.
On the luxury car, it costs hundreds of thousands.
The super giant pearl cultivated by the test station is even more precious. Such a super giant pearl can fetch a high price of 30,000 US dollars at auction.
Gauer waved his hand, packaged and bought the first three grades of pearls that can be seen in the Xunrou Pearl Factory, and sold a total of 60,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 80,000 to 90,000 yuan in domestic currency Around, a large part of the price is natural pearls.
“This is a pearl cultivated by our South Island Xunrou Pearl Factory, and there will be more high-quality pearls produced next year.”
Such an international order shocked the local government!
How can pearls sell for such a high price? ! ! And they can cultivate pearls here? ! ! !
The entire Qiongzhou Island and even the Guangdong Province were sensational.
“My God!! The pearl necklaces from their pearl factory sold for thousands of dollars!”
“Pearls are sold one by one!”
“The King of Pearls has been cultivated in Qiongzhou Island. Linshui is a treasure of feng shui. The pearl necklaces raised can sell for thousands of dollars!”
…
All kinds of explosive news came out one after another, constantly washing people’s cognition, even the people in the test station were shocked. When they were doing research, they didn’t know the value of pearls. but now…
Pearls are so valuable! !
“Ahhhh!!!”
Not only the outsiders were shocked, even the people in the Xunrou breeding factory were stunned. Hearing the astronomical number, Meng Lan felt as if she had never studied mathematics. Can’t tell.
These pearls are like the stars in the sky! !
“Dividends paid!!”
Qin Rou was very happy that she made money, and gave thousands of high dividends to the backbone of their breeding plant. Menglan was very excited with the money. With so much money, she could buy it for her daughter Beautiful clothes and shoes, save more, their family can build a house!
A Shi collected the dividends. Although he was silent and said nothing, his eyes were extremely shining.
Their pearl farm made money! !
For the people in the Xunrou Pearl Cultivation Factory, their happiness not only comes from making money, but also various newspaper reporters rush to interview them. Qin Rou did not come forward and let Menglan as a representative Reporters speak.
Meng Lan, a country girl from the past, faced so many reporters for the first time, although she was very uneasy, but in the field she was good at, she was able to know everything about cultured pearls like the back of the back.
She took a lot of photos with reporters, and soon after, this report appeared in the newspaper.
“Thousands of dollars for a string of pearl necklaces!”
What happened at their pearl farm is widely circulated.
“Crazy, this is all crazy!”
First of all, the villagers of Linshuixin Village were all excited. Pearl farming is so profitable, they also want to raise pearls!
They surrounded the test station, “We also have to learn how to grow pearls!”
“Everyone, don’t be impatient, let’s learn from the pearl cultivation factory first, the government will soon open a state-owned pearl cultivation factory…”
…
“I knew I should have stolen a few!” Uncle Asun who was kicked out is even more annoyed now.
I didn’t expect the price of broken stones like pearls to be so high, he should have tried to steal a few of them in the first place.
If he can steal a few, he will post it!
Uncle Asun’s eyes were red and blood was dripping. He had missed so much money in front of him.
Those pearls can turn into dollars! Dollars!
Uncle Asun, like other people, thought that a pearl could sell for a high price, but in reality, only high-quality and good-looking pearls can sell for a high price.
After the first batch of pearls was harvested, Qin Rou’s pearl cultivation factory decided to expand reproduction and increase the scope of pearl cultivation. When people who saw the report went to Linshui on Qiongzhou Island, they also wanted to cultivate pearls!
Not only is the state-owned pearl cultivation factory opened, but also various joint venture individual pearl factories are blooming around. The state-owned pearl factory is called the Hairou State-owned Pearl Culture Factory. Qin Rou’s “Xun Rou” pearl cultivation factory is surrounded by several pearl cultivation factories such as , Zhen Rou, Zu Rou, Rejoice and so on.
In the previous interviews with various reporters, Qin Rou asked Menglan and the reporters to focus on increasing the public’s attention to “Xunrou Pearl”, and took the lead in striving for the effect of their brand to make the surrounding Everyone knows that there is such a “seeking soft pearl”.
As a result, the effect of the South Island Xunrou pearls came out. The Xunrou pearl factory “selling pearl necklaces for thousands of dollars” is extremely eye-catching, but this also means that each A follower is coming.
Isn’t your name Xunrou? Then I call it Rejoice, Extreme Soft, Meirou…
Qin Rou: “…”
Comrade Xiao Qin was stunned when he looked at those “labels”. Before the pearl cultivation factory opened, he was already grabbing the name in advance. Let’s take the name first. , the sign should be hung up and made public first, so that people around you can know, and don’t bump into the name later.
After Qin Rou knew that her pearl factory was famous, other people would definitely follow her to open a pearl cultivation factory, but she didn’t expect that the name she chose at random could cause such a butterfly effect.
Qin Rou clutched her forehead, God, in the future, all kinds of pearl cultivation factories in Linshui will bloom everywhere, and all kinds of “soft” will also bloom everywhere.
She regretted it, she shouldn’t have named “Xunrou” with her name.
Sure enough, the most irresistible thing in this world is the name.
“Sister Qin Rou, it seems that they want to open a shrimp soft pearl factory again?” Menglan and others noticed the lively atmosphere of the factory opening, and the people in their factory also went to inquire. Happening.
“What? Blind Rou?” Qin Rou is really speechless. If you say that you love Rou, Rejoice and Hai Rou, it’s fine, and now there’s a blind Rou pearl factory.
“Shrimp from big prawns, shrimp from sea prawns, soft shrimp pearl factory! It seems that a Hong Kong island owner invested in it. He loves shrimp, so it is called soft shrimp.”
Qin Rou: “…”
Qin Rou thought it was easy enough to choose her own name, but she didn’t expect that there would be someone more casual than herself.
This shrimp soft pearl doesn’t sound like a beautiful pearl, and it has nothing to do with women’s jewelry, but it looks like a snack such as shrimp chips.
God **** shrimp soft pearl.
Qin Rou was speechless.
Menglan saved her dividends. Although she received so many dividends, she was very uneasy at this time: “Sister Qin Rou, you said that there are so many pearl cultivation factories around, Will it affect our factory?”
“What are you afraid of, our factory opened first, and we are one step ahead of the people around us. Now our factory is also stepping up to recruit more people. We must recruit good characters and strengthen the management of the breeding factory.” Qin Rou had expected such a scene for a long time. As long as pearls are known to people, there will naturally be an endless stream of people who cultivate pearls. In the future, more and more people will open pearl cultivation factories here.
At present, they have to occupy a “first” word, pearl cultivation is calculated on an annual basis, and it cannot be cultivated in a day or two.
“Our Xunrou Pearl Cultivation Factory must pay attention to the quality of pearls!”
Qin Rou’s goal is to make money in the mixed market in the future, and keep it for countless years in the future, and start her own brand of Xunrou pearls. pearls!
If you want to build a pearl brand, you must ensure the quality of the product and fight the quality defense. This is one of the problems for the development of their breeding factory in the future.
When more and more pearl farmers appear in the future, the reputation of South Island pearls will spread, and more people will bring “fake” South Island pearls to fish in troubled waters. , the originally clear and clean sea water will also be affected, as well as those deep-sea pearl oysters that are caught…
In today’s era of non-standard market, many industries will adopt this method of thirst and fishing, and after ushering in a huge period of prosperity and wealth, it will end in dismal end.
But no one can stop it, because you can’t stop people from making quick money, everyone used to be poor and afraid, and now I finally have a way to make money, and now the most important thing is to make money.
Nowadays, the government encourages everyone to make more money. The more cultured pearls are exported, the more foreign exchange can be earned.
“Well, our Xunrou Pearl Farm will definitely get better and better!!”
Seeing the prosperous scene at the moment, Meng Lan’s mouth showed a happy smile, she is no longer the country girl of the past, she has dealt with foreigners, she began to learn English, she also took US dollars, she was in the newspaper!
They say she’s better than those college students!
“Menglan, congratulations to your plant.” Cui Mingzhan, a researcher at the experimental station, came to the breeding plant and saw the young woman on the island in front of him, and couldn’t help but wish.
In the past year, Cui Mingzhan had a lot of contacts and exchanges with Menglan because he often came to the factory for pearl cultivation exchanges. He felt that the girls on this island were shy, enthusiastic, and very tenacious. , took the trouble to take root in pearl cultivation, which he admired very much.
“Thank you, this is a pearl I raised, I will give you one.”
“Thank you for teaching me how to study textbooks before!” Meng Lan gave Cui Mingzhan a beautiful sea pearl, without telling him too much, she turned her head and went back to work in the factory.
“Our factory sold pearls, my mother and my daughter are happy.”
Meng Lan actually felt a little bit of ambiguous feelings between herself and Cui Mingzhan, but she knew that it was impossible between them, she was a woman who was abandoned by men, and she also brought a daughter, A well-educated and knowledgeable scientific researcher, how could the family accept a woman like her.
So Meng Lan has now distanced herself from Cui Mingzhan.
She doesn’t want to think about other things anymore, and she doesn’t want to find a man anymore, she just wants to start a pearl cultivation factory with Sister Qin Rou, take good care of the parents at home, and raise them well My own daughter, I will send my daughter to college in the future!
And he himself did not know what he was thinking.
The daughter that Menglan emphasized just now was extremely uncomfortable in Cui Mingzhan’s ears, as if Menglan was deliberately pulling her away from herself.
“I’m willing to admit defeat, Cui Mingzhan, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
Lin Guisheng still remembers his bet with Cui Mingzhan. Lin Guisheng is also a staff member of the experimental station. Before Qin Rou wanted to open a pearl cultivation factory, Lin Guisheng bet with Cui Mingzhan that he bet that Qin Rou’s pearl cultivation factory would open. I can’t get up, but I didn’t expect that the other party’s pearl cultivation factory actually raised good pearls and sold them at an astonishing price.
He had to admire the woman named Qin Rou.
This woman is too powerful, she has her own opinions on pearl cultivation, and the pearls raised according to the method she has tested are of good quality and beautiful.
“Let’s go and have a meal at the state-run restaurant!”
Although he was in a low mood, Cui Mingzhan still smiled and went to have a meal with Lin Guisheng.
After eating, Lin Guisheng said to him: “Cui Mingzhan, I plan to quit my job at the test station, do you want to join me.”
Cui Mingzhan was surprised: “What do you want to do?”
Lin Guisheng has already made up his mind. He contacted his family in China and his former brothers. He plans to pool money with others to open a pearl cultivation factory in Linshui.
In the past, Lin Guisheng always disliked his job on this island and planned to go to Guangcheng to make a fortune. Now he has found a profitable business opportunity on Qiongzhou Island, so he must seize this opportunity.
“I want to open a pearl cultivation factory, Cui Mingzhan, you can do it with me. We are all technicians and understand this technology. I believe that the pearl cultivation factory we jointly open will definitely make money in the future. Big money!”
This is why Lin Guisheng is willing to invite Cui Mingzhan to dinner. He wants to invite Cui Mingzhan to dry pearl cultivation with him, “Come with me to the Guirou Pearl Cultivation Factory!”
“Gui Rou Pearl?!” Cui Mingzhan really didn’t expect Lin Guisheng to have a new idea. He was going to leave his public job and start a pearl cultivation factory.
“We are national scientific research staff.”
“How about that? Can you make a lot of money? Just get that much salary? Why don’t we start a factory and make a lot of money. You don’t want to buy a color TV and a refrigerator to live a good life? Now the times have changed!” Lin Guisheng tried his best to convince Cui Mingzhan that the two of them knew more about the cultivation mode of Qin Rou’s pearl cultivation factory, or that Cui Mingzhan knew more about the pearl cultivation mode of Xunrou Pearl Factory.
Lin Guisheng didn’t care about the pearl cultivation factory before, while Cui Mingzhan got close to the island woman named Menglan, and he knew more about the cultivation mode of the Xunrou pearl cultivation factory.
As long as Cui Mingzhan is brought over, Lin Guisheng believes that his Guirou pearl cultivation factory will make a lot of money in the future. He plans to fill in his own worth, and he has to get a loan from the bank. Now the bank is asking Get people to take out loans.
“Cui Mingzhan, let’s make a lot of money together!”
Cui Mingzhan shook his head: “No, Lin Guisheng, I have to think again…”
Cui Mingzhan’s brain is extremely confused now, to open a pearl cultivation factory? This was something he had never thought about before. Besides, even if he wanted to set up a pearl cultivation factory, he still wanted to…
Cui Mingzhan rejected Lin Guisheng’s invitation.
“Cui Mingzhan, think again.”
Faced with Cui Mingzhan’s stubbornness, Lin Guisheng can only shake his head. Even if Cui Mingzhan is unwilling to join his pearl cultivation factory, Lin Guisheng can also cultivate pearls.
He is a technician and knows more about pearl farming than those amateurs. Lin Guisheng believes that the pearls he grows will be very popular and sell at enviable high prices!
Aunt Fu’s family was beaming recently. The pearl factory where her daughter works has succeeded in raising pearls, and her daughter Menglan is also in the newspaper! What a face! The old Fu family’s ancestral graves are covered with green smoke!
“Our Menglan is very promising! She follows people to raise pearls! The pearls she raises can be sold for US dollars!”
“I envy your Menglan, can my family follow along to raise pearls?!”
“Ask the Chen family, the Chen family is Qin Rou’s sister.”
“Menglan also understands pearl farming techniques, do you know that? Do you think pearls can be raised just by urinating? You need to know the technique, or else the shells will die and there will be no What should I do if I spit pearls for you?”
“It’s been said on the radio, what technology is it, do we have culture, what technology can we understand?!”
…
Meng Lan was surrounded by many people when she returned home. She smiled and dismissed these villagers one by one. Now she has become more and more confident. Her mother, Aunt Fu, said that she also like a beautiful pearl.
An aunt from their family came to visit her house and dragged Meng Lan to talk a lot.
“Menglan, your uncle also wants to open a pearl cultivation factory with someone, come and do it with your uncle!”
“How can you do better with outsiders than with your own family, your uncle will never treat you badly.”
…
Meng Lan shook her head and refused: “No, auntie, I want to do it with Sister Qin Rou, I won’t do it with anyone else.”
“You child, why are you disobedient, old girl, you don’t care about your daughter”
Aunt Fu said lightly: “Menglan is doing a good job in other people’s factories. If you want to open a factory, just open a factory, don’t drag her into it.”
Aunt Fu and Meng Lan sent this relative away together. In the past few days, many people have come to win her over to set up a pearl factory, but Meng Lan did not agree.
“Yes, I can’t agree, we have to repay our gratitude and follow you, Sister Qin Rou!”
