Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1243 Capital
In the early morning, when it was still pitch dark, the lights outside the dock were already on and there were a lot of shouting.

Ye Yaodong sent his men on board and walked towards the people shouting. These were people who got up early to sell breakfast.

He looked at the other person's bicycle trunk, which was about 70% full, and seeing that some had been sold, he bought all the remaining ones.

There were probably dozens of steamed buns, and the happy boss smiled brightly. He said he had some at home and asked him if he wanted some.

He simply shook his head. It was too late. He had to get on the boat. These were enough. He would still have more than half left for his father and the others.

They had all eaten at home before coming out this morning.

When the boatmen saw that he bought so many steamed buns and meat dumplings, their mouths watered.

"I just had breakfast. I'll eat at around 7 or 8 in the morning to save myself the trouble of cooking breakfast."

"clear."

Ye Yaodong drove for a while in the direction of the trench before he was able to contact his father, and then sailed to the coordinates given by his father.

Because he was unfamiliar with the sea area here, Father Ye didn't drive very far.

That is, after driving towards the trench for more than an hour, he saw several ships in less than two hours, and the sky was already bright.

He first received his own goods, weighed them as he received them, and told his father about what had happened in the past two days.

After receiving the goods and the father and son had almost finished their discussion, Ye Yaodong went to the next ship. Some of the goods had not been weighed yet, so he continued to weigh them while driving and made a note of it for himself first.

But for other ships, he must remember everything and make a list before going to the next ship.

The price was not filled in because no one knew what the landing price would be. Everyone also trusted him and waited for him to sell the goods before filling in the blank.

Anyway, once the goods come ashore, everyone will know the latest prices. Even if they don’t come ashore, they all know how much each item should be sold for.

These ships also heard Ye Yaodong talk about the situation in the past two days, and they were not so anxious. They all took it easy because they still had a bottom line, which was stronger than the other ships.

If there are no jellyfish, then there is no jellyfish. They can still come out and drag the nets for a few days, which may be only slightly worse than staying there to catch jellyfish.

However, given the situation this year, it is still unclear who is stronger and who is weaker. With so many fishing boats staying there, they may not be weaker than them trawling.

Ye Yaodong went back and forth on the sea, taking turns to receive and weigh the goods one by one. It took quite a while. By the time all four ships had taken their turn and finished receiving everything, it was already 2 p.m.

If we return at this time, the sun will just be setting and it won't delay our sales. It gets dark at 7 o'clock now.

Even though he had so much goods, the purchasing point at the dock couldn't handle all of them, so they had to ask the fishmongers to choose separately.

It was already past 7 o'clock when he returned home after selling all the goods. He also brought back two baskets of not-so-valuable goods and distributed some to his neighbors and some to the villagers. He also bought 20 kilograms of goods and asked someone to deliver them to Fang Jingfu.

Today's harvest was also quite considerable. The four ships accumulated more than 4 kilograms of goods in two days. As long as it was worth some money, he brought it back to sell.

The vast majority of them are goods worth a few cents, a small half are worth a few dimes, and there are very few valuable goods worth more than a dollar.

Even though the items were very cheap, the quantity was large and he made more than 5700 yuan after selling all the goods.

Even if he gives them a 4% share of the profits from the four boats, he can still earn a little over 2000 yuan. After deducting the labor and fuel costs, it is a sure profit.

He just got home, counted the accounts, and filled out the delivery notes for several fishing boats. His mouth almost cracked with smile. It didn't matter whether he caught jellyfish or not, he had already made a lot of money by having such a boat.

There is no difference between collecting jellyfish and collecting fish.

All the goods he sold earlier were not sold to one company, but were selected and divided among multiple purchasing points, as well as fishmongers. No one knew how much he actually got in total.

He didn't have time to count it, and he didn't know how much he sold it for. He only knew it was a few thousand yuan. Now that he did the math, he was really shocked.

Other fresh-collecting ships still have to wander around on the sea, waiting to find the next ship to harvest. If there is no ship to connect, they cannot collect so much goods. They are afraid that the goods will lose their freshness if they are delayed for too long, so they have to return at the right time.

He doesn't need to do that. He just calculates the time, and when one boat goes out, he can just pull all four boats together and come back immediately, saving fuel and ice.

Other people's seafood collection ships stay at sea for a long time, and the fuel consumption is a huge expense.

And the most important thing is that he has no partnership with anyone for this ship, so all the profits belong to him.

Other freshwater vessels have at least four or five shareholders...

And he still had a share of the fishing boats they were fishing on...

Come to think of it... this seems to be a solid capital for him...

He made some money from collecting fresh fish, and those people would give him another dividend.

Ye Yaodong got excited just thinking about it and quickly sorted out the money that was scattered all over the table.

As soon as he returned to the house and sat down, he emptied his pockets and threw all the cloth bags on the table. He counted the goods first and only now had time to sort out the money.

He counted the money according to the amount he had just filled in the blanks, counted the money that should be paid to each fishing boat, and then tied the money together with the receipt.

Calculate and divide it in advance, and ask them to check it when they come back. This way it is easier and clearer.

After bundling together the money corresponding to all the invoices, what remains is his profit.

He calculated that it was more than 2200 yuan. After deducting the cost of gas and ice, as well as the daily wages of a boatload of workers, he could earn nearly 2000 yuan.

Including the 10 days of fishing for sea urchins before, he has earned more than 1 yuan in the past ten days, so this trip was not in vain.

He stacked the money and the cargo list, locked them in the suitcase, and then hid them. Then he rubbed his face, put away his smile, and went out to eat.

The workers have already started eating, and seeing his serious expression, I suddenly felt like something was wrong?
"Brother Dong...didn't you make money? Could it be that you didn't make money?"

"You made some money, didn't you? You didn't make that much?"

Ye Yaodong's expression became even more serious.

Everyone was a little worried and couldn't even enjoy the food they were eating.

"Boss, aren't there a lot of goods? Aren't they sold for hundreds of dollars?"

"Then we have to pay the other fishing boats. Are they selling too cheaply? Those four boats have to pay. The goods are theirs."

"Did you pay a high price to take care of those ships? Did you lose money yourself?"

“Losing money???”

"Ah? And you're still losing money?"

Ye Yaodong shook his head slightly, his expression still serious.

"I made a little, but not much. Don't worry. I made some money from fishing for sea urchins a while ago, so your wages are guaranteed. If I collect more cargoes next time, I won't lose money this time. Don't worry about me not being able to pay your wages."

"Even though each of you, plus the subsidies for launching the ship a few days ago, earns more than 100 yuan a month, 16 people, the monthly salary is nearly 2000 yuan, not to mention the Dongsheng, who earns 3000 yuan a month, and there are also food, drinks, gas and ice..."

He paused for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll still receive goods for a few more days and I can still make a little more money. It won't be a problem to support everyone."

"Even if I can't eat, I can't let you go hungry. You work with me, and if I have a bite to eat, I will also have a bite to eat for you."

"Everyone comes out here to give it a try and make more money, so I will definitely give you what you deserve."

"Eat, don't worry about that. I should worry about how to make money. You just need to work harder when you need to."

A group of young men were so moved after listening to the story. The condition of the jellyfish was obviously not good, and everyone could see it.

Everyone thought that he would not be able to earn much money in the future. Although Hai Dan made some money some time ago, after hearing him do the math just now, they also felt that their salary was too high.

With so many people, the monthly expenses are around 3000 yuan, which is more than what their families earn in three years. I felt a little nervous.

Moreover, he kept promising to pay them so much salary and that he would not break his word. He kept making promises, which made everyone feel ashamed. Some people even stayed at home and did not go out to sea today.

He brought 16 people out in total, and today he only brought 10 people out to sea to harvest, with the rest staying at home to look after the house and cook.

"Boss... let's go grab some jellyfish tomorrow, right? Otherwise, we'll just be sitting here doing nothing."

"Yes, no matter how many you salvage, you can make a fortune in a few days. After all, everyone has a lot of energy. If you work harder, you can earn more."

"Yes, you guys go out to sea to collect the goods today, and it will be our turn tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong said calmly, "Let's eat first. We'll talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. Who knows if the situation will be better tomorrow."

No one dared to say more, as he didn't look in a good mood.

At this time, A Guang pushed open the gate and came in.

"You guys just came back? I've been here several times, but I just ran into you now."

"I just came back a while ago. Have you eaten? Sit down and eat together."

"Not yet. I came here alone just to eat, so I ran several times. In the end, I only smelled the delicious food, but didn't see anyone coming back."

Ah Guang saw that no one seemed very enthusiastic and no one was smiling. It was very different from the usual lively and cheerful crowd. He thought something had happened and he was a little nervous.

"What's wrong? What happened? Was it not going well to collect the goods at sea today? Did something happen at sea?"

Ye Yaodong paused, his expression a little stiff, "Nothing, it went smoothly."

"Is it going smoothly? It doesn't look like it. Don't lie to me."

A Guang was a little bit unconvinced. Even if Shunli didn't celebrate happily, he would at least discuss it with a smile.

Whose dining atmosphere is so heavy and so quiet? There are so many people, more than ten, but the meal is not as lively as three or four people.

"I told you it's going well, so stop talking nonsense. Do you want to eat or not? If not, get out of here."

"It tastes a bit right, so nothing happened. I'll go get some food."

"You are always so fussy and sensitive. You make it seem like there is something wrong even when there is nothing wrong."

"Didn't it feel like the atmosphere was wrong as soon as we came in?"

"That was also a discussion about jellyfish. How could I be as unlucky as you?"

"Oh, that's true," Ah Guang was relieved, "I'm not unlucky now."

With their jokes, the dinner table became a little more lively.

"Brother Guang, don't leave after dinner, want to play cards?"

"Okay, do you have money in your pocket? If you don't have money, I won't play with you."

"It would be nice if you had money."

"Cut~"

"Brother Guang, I heard that you always lost when you gambled before."

"No, I still win a few times occasionally."

Ye Yaodong laughed at him, "Yes, win a few games!"

Ah Guang glared at him and said, "The winner will shout later."

"I paid compensation left and right, and it's all gone, hahahaha."

"Don't make fun of my son's name."

"Okay, I'll pay you left, right, and everything!"

A Guang’s brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. Why does it feel like something is not right?
"Brother Guang, your twins are called Peizuo and Peiyou? They fit your names very well."

"Hahaha……"

"Eating can't stop your mouth!"

After Ye Yaodong had laughed enough, he changed the subject and asked him, "Did Uncle Zheng call you today? Did you answer the call?"

"I received it and waited there in advance. They arrived yesterday morning and just settled down yesterday. They didn't go out to sea today. They just went outside the dock to take a look and prepare the fishing nets. It will probably take three to five days before they can go out to sea."

"Can't I use the fishing nets on my own boat?"

"They said they were going to prepare a radar net and something, and they were going to specifically catch hairtail. They said the Zhoushi fishing grounds mainly fish large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail, and squid. Large yellow croaker has been gone in recent years, so they plan to catch hairtail if the price of hairtail is good in the future and there is a fishing season in winter."

Ye Yaodong knew it as soon as he heard the radar network.

Radar network hairtail is the highest grade hairtail. The eyes of this kind of hairtail are smaller than those of ordinary hairtail, so the locals also call it small-eyed hairtail.

It is fatter than ordinary hairtail and its price is two or three times higher. There are several varieties of hairtail.

The radar net does not mean using radar to detect bottom-dwelling hairtail. Instead, after the fishermen set the fishing net from the fishing boat, the fishing boat starts to rotate like a radar, so as to catch the hairtail with the fattest meat.

This method of catching cutlassfish is called radar net fishing, and the cutlassfish caught by this method is called radar net cutlassfish.

This is also deduced from the years of experience of local veteran fishermen. After all, Zhou City is one of the four largest fishing grounds in the country and has rich experience in catching hairtail. Fishermen from surrounding cities also like to gather there.

"Have you arranged a time for your next call with them?"

"Yes, I have arranged to call them again at 10pm in 4 days. I am also very curious about the radar network they mentioned, so I will ask them about it then."

"Okay, remember to tell me when you ask."

"You seem very interested, even more so than I am. You even asked them to schedule a time for their next call."

"Of course, that's one of the four largest fisheries in the country, and I don't know how big that dock is."

"That's true."

Good night, I still wrote 11000 after procrastinating
