Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1256 Robbery
It is hard to say how much Ye Yaodong catches every day. Don’t be fooled by the large harvest now, because who knows when the harvest will be lower. It is impossible to have a fixed income, and no one can guarantee that the harvest will be the same every day.

But if you stay on the sea all the time, it is definitely better than selling goods on the shore.

What they are discussing now is a ratio that maximizes everyone's interests.

He also mentioned that he did not make money from transporting diesel, ice, fruits and vegetables, but he did so out of consideration for everyone's kindness. Otherwise, other fresh food collection ships would make another profit, which also showed his sincerity.

Finally he said that he would give them a 7% discount on the purchase price. Originally it was a 6% discount, so he would get %, but now he only gets %.

According to the current catch volume, the price of fish sold will be higher than the previous two days, and the amount will be larger.

After a 10% discount, the price he could get was probably about the same as before.

This is not a big change for him, but it is a benefit to other fishing boats, as they spend less and earn more.

This was something he had thought about carefully yesterday, and it was considered to be relatively reasonable and a win-win situation.

It is not possible to earn the same amount of money as before, because now we don’t drag nets and are closer to the shore, so the fuel consumption of the fish collecting boats has also decreased.

Everyone is not a fool.

If your own interests are damaged, you must change to something that is more beneficial to you and earn more.

If we take the goods back from him, according to the previous 60% calculation, we won’t earn as much as they do if we dock at the shore, so it would be better for them to go back directly to the shore, which is equivalent to taking a rest.

As for the fact that the supplies don't make money, they can just replenish them themselves when they return to shore, and they won't have to spend any extra money.

A proper reduction of 10% would not make much difference to what he could get.

If he gets less money, he definitely won't do it. Why?

He also wants to make money. How can he give all the profits to them and give them a bargain?

He can still make appropriate concessions without damaging his original profits.

"I accept everyone's goods, which reduces their risks, right? You don't have to worry about whether the goods can be sold or not. I will take care of it. If they can't be sold, it's my business. This is also a cost."

"There is also a seafood processing factory. It is also my business. If you go to the dock to sell it yourself, how long will it take? And you have to take risks."

"You should know how risky it is to sell goods at the docks, right? There are all kinds of conflicts and fights from morning till night. There are money to be made, but there are also many who lose their lives."

"Let's say we got in accidentally on our first day here. Wouldn't it be better to not take the risk?"

"You don't have to sell the goods on land, so you should pay a little profit, right? If you are at sea, you just need to fish."

"If the weather is bad, we can just return and there will be no losses. Relatively speaking, natural disasters are less unexpected than man-made disasters."

"In fact, these boats are also taking advantage of this. Although they give up a little profit, they don't have to bear the risk of selling goods because they have more time to sell goods. They can also make more money by fishing more at sea. This is also an advantage for the fishing boats."

"I also thought that we are all family, so it's okay to earn less. Otherwise, if you pull it back to the shore and sell it, it's hard to say whether it will be profitable or not."

"If you just count how much money you give out, you can actually earn it back at sea, and even more, with less risk."

"What do you think? I have people on hand, not to mention the workers on the big and small boats, the rest of the people at home, and the people on the fresh-harvesting boats, all of whom need to be supported and earn money."

"You have to give out the profits that should be given out appropriately. You can't just think about letting others make money, because you are actually making money yourself as well."

Father Pei kept agreeing, and actually didn't dare to refute.

What Ye Yaodong said was actually the truth, and everyone could listen to it.

I'm not a fool and I know what's best for everyone.

peace brings money.

Hello, I'm fine, everyone is fine. After all, the concessions given are also beneficial to the fishing boats.

"Yes, you are right. The most important thing is that everyone makes money. If one party does not make money and the other party does, it will not last long."

"Really? So let's set a 7% discount. Is that okay with you?"

"Okay, let's do as you say. After the goods are sold, the fishing boat will get a 7% discount and you will get a % discount. I have to talk to the other two boats tomorrow. I don't know if they will have any objections."

"Will not."

If you have any opinions, it is you who have them. How could others have any opinions?
Take the boat that the three brothers jointly owned, for example. Could his two older brothers have any objections?
Zhou Da and the others would have no objection. They had to rely on him for everything. They would take the initiative to come up to him and follow him out to sea for his protection.

Although he earns a lot, he will definitely have some opinions if he does a quick calculation in his mind when dividing the money, but now he has taken the initiative to make concessions, so he will know when to stop.

"Okay, let's do this. When your father takes the fresh-water boat out to collect the goods tomorrow, you can tell everyone. This is good. With a boat to help transport the goods, everyone can stay at sea longer, and you can also make money by selling the goods."

"Well, that's it."

Just when Ye Yaodong was about to cut the line, Pei's father said again: "You are smart. You knew to order a fresh fish boat early. With these boats, it will probably take less than a month to get your money back..."

Ye Yaodong pursed his lips and said unhappily, "It's not just my seafood boat that's making money for everyone, everyone's boats are also making money with my boats. It's a mutually beneficial thing. You're making it sound like I'm the one taking advantage."

"There are discounts on all kinds of fish. Fresh fish ships usually offer 5% off. 6% off is for valuable items. I don't make any money from diesel and ice. I'm being generous."

"Everyone's boat has benefited."

Father Pei laughed awkwardly at the other end, "That's...that's...it's a win-win situation for everyone."

"Besides, I have shares in all other ships except Zhou Da's. I have some say. Zhou Da's ships are also willing to follow us for peace of mind and care."

"They didn't say they would stop trawling and switch to radar nets. They didn't say what to do when there's more cargo... They didn't say what to do."

So stop talking so much.

"Since you have objections, let's discuss it and give it a 7% discount."

Father Pei quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I didn't say anything, and we weren't talking about this..."

"Okay, I get it, we're going to set up the net."

Ye Yaodong hung up immediately.

How could he not know the purpose of the call? Wasn't it to talk about this?

Anyway, just think of it as a sweet treat for everyone, and it’s not a loss for him.

Everyone is here to make money.

For him, earning three to four thousand to four to five thousand yuan by receiving a load of goods every two days is a big profit.

So when his father drove out with the seafood boat the next day, he had already received the notice in advance.

When he arrived, he exchanged places with his father.

He let his father drive the boat, while he drove the seafood collection boat to pluck several boats around.

By the way, I also mentioned the price of goods received and the fact that I took the initiative to reduce the commission, and I talked about it with everyone in turn.

Everyone had different reactions. His eldest and second brothers were very surprised and said happily that they could earn more money this time.

Zhou Da just smiled. His brothers were also surprised and kept praising him for his kindness. They said that if they gave the goods to him, everyone could make more money.

Ye Yaodong guessed that Pei's father had already talked to Zhou Datong, so he didn't show any surprise.

He doesn't care, as long as everyone is happy.

After receiving all the goods and making the cargo list, he set sail again to find his father. Just a few hours had passed and it was time to ship goods online again.

Father Ye grinned, "Dongzi, I didn't expect this radar net to be more useful than a trawl net. It's great at trawlin' hairtail."

"That's nothing. The night is when hairtail fish are active. After dark, the nets catch much more hairtail fish than during the day. They are all hairtail fish. There are no hairtail fish during the day."

"Is that so? That's true. Hairtail fish are active at night, so there are fewer of them during the day. How about you drive the boat to the shore to sell the fish, and I'll take care of it here?"

"That's fine, but I'm afraid you can't handle it at your age."

"Replace it once in a while."

Ye Yaodong thought this was fine, and the father and son could take turns occasionally.

He also took the opportunity to talk to his father about adjusting the discount. When they came over, the two of them just exchanged the discounts and went to receive the goods without talking about anything else.

Father Ye was surprised for a moment, but after thinking about it, he felt that he really made too much money.

"It's up to you. After all, you make the money, not me. As long as everyone is happy, it's fine. They make more money by relying on the convenience you provide, and your ship can only make money by relying on them."

"If we make appropriate concessions, everyone can make more money. The risk here is so great, and we've made enough money, so why don't we go back early?"

"I've seen more than a dozen dead at the dock these past two days. I also heard that when people were trawling at sea, pirate ships pretended to contact fish collection ships, approached to collect the fish, and then looted the fishing boats, killing people and throwing them into the sea. It's terrible."

Ye Yaodong was surprised for a moment, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal. It was so chaotic here, so it was very likely that there were pirate ships. After all, it was easy to make money here, and it was even easier to make money by robbing fishing boats.

Generally, people who work on ships have their wealth on their own. Who can feel at ease leaving their money in a rented house when they are away from home?
Just by robbing a boat, you can earn more than tens of thousands. Isn't this faster than fishing?
There are always people who want to get something for nothing and take shortcuts.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was normal that no fishing boats came close to Captain Xu's boat when it drifted on the sea for so long, after all, it was too chaotic here.

Who knows if those fishing boats are monsters? They pretend to be so aggressive that they can attract the fishing boats to come closer and rob them.

Fortunately, he was alert enough. He observed and asked several times to make sure that there was really a malfunction before approaching.

"Oops!" Ye Yaodong slapped his thigh, "Dad, you're late! You should have come earlier!"

Father Ye was confused for a moment.

"Come earlier, tell them about this, let them know how sinister people are. Do they dare to trust anyone else's seafood boat except mine?"

"But they can sell their products by themselves and earn more money. They don't have to sell them to the freshwater ships, so they won't run into this problem so easily..."

Hey?
It seems so.

"Then I am also a trustworthy person and a backup. If there is a lot of fish, such as during the flood season, it would be uneconomical to go back and sell the fish. How much more fish can I catch by staying at sea? How much more money can I earn?"

"Besides, when the flood season comes, won't the whole dock be full of hairtail? Is it that easy to sell? You have to have connections to sell it. If you don't have connections, it will just go bad in your hands."

Father Ye shook his head. "It's hard to say what the situation is. Anyway, we should earn what we can now. It doesn't matter if we earn less. The most important thing is to make money. When we have earned enough, we will go back earlier."

"I see. It's fine as long as it's already been settled. It's no loss."

"Well, we can only last long if we make money together."

"Then you stay here. I'll take the fresh-catch boat back to the harbor to sell the goods. It's still light now and I can find a good spot to sell the goods when I dock."

Ye Yaodong had estimated that, not to mention other people's goods, the fish goods on the Dongsheng were indeed in large quantities in the past two days.

Calculated based on 25 kilograms per basket, the harvest on his boat in the past two days included nearly 2 kilograms of hairtail alone and more than 6000 kilograms of small yellow croaker. There was also a lot of other pomfret, eel, water carp, black carp, yellow croaker, etc. The overall output was considerable.

But at the same time, the production of seafood here is large, and the price is definitely not as good as at home.

The larger the quantity of goods, the more intense the competition at the port, and prices tend to be pushed down.

Merchants don't have to worry about not being able to receive goods. If you don't sell, others will sell in order to get rid of the goods quickly, even if it means making a little less profit.

So this also reflects the value of Zhang Rensu's direct delivery of goods to the factory. There is a fixed delivery price, so there is no need to worry about being cheated and the goods can be delivered directly.

Although it will be a little lower than the pier, but at least you don’t have to follow the roll, which saves time, trouble, and a lot of trouble.

Ye Yaodong thought that when the flood season came, he could not lower the price anymore, he had to make this money.

When there are more goods, if they have any objections, let them go to the dock to sell the goods and see if it is easy to make money.

Ye Yaodong exchanged some goods with Ye's father, and when he returned to the dock, he only carried a portion of the goods down to sell, and left the rest on the boat, most of which were needed by the factory.

The hairtail factory has special assembly lines for making salted, dried and canned hairtail.

Hairtail accounted for half of his cargo, with four boats carrying more than 4 kilograms. If there were other fish that the factory needed, he would keep them on the boats and send them to the factories after the other fish were almost sold out.

This was also the good relationship he had with the secular boss. He promised him the amount of kelp for next year, and the other party gave him the back door to get seafood this year.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whose goods their seafood processing factory accepts. If they accept goods from relatives and friends, they may be complained that the price is lower than that at the port, or they may be charged a fee by the purchasing department or the intermediary. They can only be grateful.

He sold goods at the dock until midnight, and it was already early morning by the time he delivered the rest of the goods on the ship to the processing plant.

The total weight of the hairtail and other goods was 10 kilograms, and it took two large trucks to transport it all.

By the time he finished settling the accounts at the factory and collected the money, it was almost dawn.

He chatted and laughed with the 10 people, and thought about buying some meat and bones from the morning market before going to bed.

Unexpectedly, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the alley, some holding knives and some holding sticks.

"Hand over all the money you have, or no one will be able to leave."

"Be smart, or you'll lose your life here."

Ye Yaodong and the others were so frightened that their skin tensed up.

"Selinmu, a robber?"

"Boss, what should we do? Cao Yinglaomu is robbing us..."

"Brother Dong, luckily you took precautions. When you got off the boat, you hid a gun in the basket..."

"Fuck them! Grab your weapons!"

Ye Yaodong and his gang were startled. After being surprised, they all started cursing, rolled up their sleeves, and quickly took things out of the basket.

Because everyone has seen a lot of the chaos here, and they suffered a big loss when they came here on the first day.

So from then on, they not only prepared weapons at sea, but also carried a bag of sticks in a sack whenever they went ashore to sell goods, whether on the dock or out delivering goods, and even brought two guns, just in case.

They didn't do anything illegal or criminal, but self-defense is definitely necessary, otherwise they would have no place to cry if their bodies were dumped in the alley.

In this place, every other morning, they would hear that a few half-dead people had been carried away from an alley somewhere.

"Sai Linmu...Super Bai...Robbery is on Lin Bei's head..."

They quickly divided their men and stood beside Ye Yaodong, cursing at each other and confronting each other.

The other side looked like there were only eleven or twelve people, and they also had 10 people, so the gap was not that big. Ye Yaodong had a gun in his hand, and he could kill one person with one shot, and the gap would be gone.

When he pointed the gun at the other person in the dark, the other person was more nervous than him.

She stared at him, took a step back, and said tentatively: "Super...super white..."

Ye Yaodong: “!!!”

He widened his eyes and looked at the workers beside him, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.

The other side said: "Sai Linmu..."

Everyone:"!!!"

Ye Yaodong frowned and said something inexplicably, "Gan Lin Lao Mu?"

Opposite: "Suzuki chicken..."

Ye Yaodong angrily scolded: "Suzuki is lazy, and now he is robbing Lin Bei. Where is he from?"

"Hehehe... misunderstanding, misunderstanding, brother, let's put down our guns, it's a misunderstanding, haha, we are not outsiders, we are all family...we are all family..."

"Who is 'Suzuki Chicken Break' with your own people?"

"The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. We are all family members, haha. We didn't recognize the great man. Haha, it was a misunderstanding. It's okay, it's okay..."

"Where are you from?"

"We are from Taocheng County... My name is Hu Sijun, and they are all from our village."

Holy shit, isn’t this the county next to theirs?

No wonder they can connect with each other even though they are saying the same thing.

"Everyone has hands and feet, but why don't you find something to do and just rob people here?"

"Brother, you should know how chaotic this place is. We can't do anything. We were originally sailors, but the captain was killed and the ship was lost. Fortunately, we hid quickly. But there are many outsiders here. What kind of work can we find? We are bullied even if we do hard labor, and our wages are withheld. We are also trying to make a living..."

"Go away. If you try to rob me again, I don't care if you are from the same place as me."

"Brother...can you take us in...just take us home..."

"You're thinking too much. Get lost. If you don't know what's good for you, my gun won't have eyes."

Hu Sijun stood there and looked at them for a long time, then he sighed heavily and ran back into the alley with his men.

Ye Yaodong and his men held their weapons and watched vigilantly. They continued to move forward only after the enemy disappeared. However, they did not dare to let go of their weapons for fear of being ambushed.

"You are such a rubbish, how dare you ask me to take you in?"

"Brother Dong, I didn't expect to see ours here. Taocheng County is quite close to us."

"No matter where they are from, who knows how many lives they have taken? The fact that they were able to rob us today shows that they have robbed passers-by many times before, and they are all so skilled. If we didn't have guns in our hands, would they be able to exchange slogans with us and get close to us?"

Still want him to take them back?
Do you think he's stupid? He wants everyone.

If he lets a wolf into the house, he might not be able to make it back out and it will be the end for him.

Don't expect such people to have a conscience. Being from the same hometown doesn't mean you are one of our own people. In many cases, it is these same people who are often the ones who are betrayed.

"That's true. Their captain and their ship are gone. They must be relying on robbery to survive."

"It's too chaotic here. There are people from all over the world. I can't believe I met someone from our place. I thought it was just us."

Ye Yaodong said calmly while carrying a gun: "This is very abnormal. Didn't Uncle Zheng and his crew come here when they were sailing? Otherwise, why would they come here to try their luck when they saw that it was hard to make money in Wenzhou?"

"This is a situation where you have money to earn but no life to spend it."

"I don't know how many ships and people were left here forever. Maybe even their families don't know about it, and there's no one to collect the bodies."

When everyone thought of this, their desire to talk decreased. They just felt it was really miserable and didn't know if the same thing would happen to them.

Ye Yaodong soothed him, "Don't think too much. Bring some extra gear with you when you go in and out. Don't be alone. Pay more attention to safety and go out less."

"Brother Dong, when are we going back?"

"Want to go back?"

"A little bit. It's too dangerous outside."

"We just got here, so we just need to be more careful. We don't come out at other times, and only come out when we're selling goods."

The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death.

Among his workers, some wanted to earn more money, while others wanted to go home.

However, this is not up to them to decide. It depends on the captains of several ships.

But the one who makes money is the captain of the ship, and people are greedy.

Ye Yaodong said, "Next time you get off the boat, bring a few more guns with you. I'll go ask after I wake up to see if I can get a few more."

Wait until he wakes up, then go ask some lay people.

He is a local and has the courage to travel far and wide, so he must have ways to buy it.

Get a few more. It doesn’t matter if there are few people, just equip each person with one gun.

"It's OK to have a gun. I'll feel at ease if I have one."

Ye Yaodong added: "Let's go buy some more food. When we get back home and wake up, we can eat something delicious to calm our nerves."

"Brother Dong, next time we sell goods, tell the car not to leave yet. Wait until we're done selling them, and then take us back. At most we'll have to pay one more trip, and it'll be safer."

"Okay, I was negligent. By then everyone will have guns and weapons in their hands, so we won't be afraid of anyone daring to stop the car, or the driver daring to have evil intentions."

"Yeah, this way I won't be afraid anymore."

They were lucky today as the robber they encountered was a poorly equipped straggler who didn't even have a gun.

If we encounter an organized group, it would be easy to confess.

It's really hard to make money.

High returns mean high risks.

Ye Yaodong and his group carried stacked empty baskets and walked towards the market. Gradually, more people appeared on the road and it seemed safer.

They also collected the weapons in their hands, put them in sacks, and hid them in baskets.

It is because the processing plant is too remote that this kind of thing is likely to happen. Otherwise, when you come out, the sky will have already brightened and there will be people on the road.

They bought a bunch of fruits, vegetables and meat. Ye Yaodong also bought a box of instant noodles that everyone liked. They could just cook them at home to fill their stomachs and sleep, and it could also help calm their nerves.

As soon as he woke up, he went to find his secular boss.

When Zhang Rensu heard that he wanted 20 guns, he was so scared that he stood up from the stool.

"Are you going to rob a bank? Or a gold shop? With 20 swords, you can take over my place."

Ye Yaodong laughed and said, "If there are not 20, do you have 10?"

"Are you kidding? No, you think I'm dealing in arms. I'm also a fish seller."

"What about the other five? I also want them for self-defense..."

Ye Yaodong recounted what happened to him this morning.

"So, you guys were able to match the code, and then they left?"

"How is that possible? You're already robbing, so why would you care if they're from the same hometown? That's to intimidate the guys in my hands. They're just roving soldiers. If I run into a well-equipped one next time, I'll really be done for. You guys are too chaotic."

"The chaos is real, but the gun..."

"There are only five of them. It should be easy, right?"

“I can’t.”

Ye Yaodong knew that other people had no obligation to help him, and this direct sales backdoor itself was a way of thanking him for picking up the car keys, and also a way of exchanging resources for next year.

Now he must pay something before others will help him.

He thought about it for a moment, then said, "How about I give you some information in exchange?"

Zhang Rensu raised his eyebrows, "What news?"

"Have you ever thought about getting a cold chain truck for seafood transportation? The conditions at your port are unique, and you don't have any seafood. If you have a cold chain, you can ship fresh seafood to all parts of the country. Wouldn't that be a lot of money?"

Resources in the country are scarce now. In some places, things are in abundance, while in some places, there is not even a bite to eat, even if you have money.

"You know the technique?"

"I don't know. Don't you have overseas Chinese? The government agencies are asking you to do this. If you ask the government agencies, they will definitely have researched it and found a way to do it. Wouldn't that mean you can make a lot of money?"

"What kind of news is this?"

Ye Yaodong coughed dryly, "Have you ever thought about building a seafood trading city, a large one, the largest seafood trading city in the country? Such a large port doesn't even have a place for proper and protected trading."

"You all know what the scene is like at the dock. If we build a special trading city to reduce conflicts, I believe many ship bosses or fishmongers will be willing to trade there and be protected."

Zhang Rensu frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"You're thinking too much. It's impossible. How can ordinary people build a trading city? It must be done by the government."

"Yes, you instigate the government to do it, and then buy a stall yourself. Wouldn't that make a fortune?"
