Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1259 Drifting Fishing Boat

After Boss Zhang left, everyone packed up the things on the boat, and then those who needed to go out to sea went out to sea, and those who needed to go home went home.

A large group of people walked home in a mighty procession.

The people on the dock automatically made a detour and followed them, pointing and talking about the release of the fish they had just done.

After everyone went back, some took a rest, while others cooked.

Before dinner, Ye Yaodong chatted with his father about the recent earnings. The two of them checked the accounts together and counted the money until their hands were tired.

After some further discussion, we decided to go together after lunch and a nap to send another 1 yuan back.

He did not dare to remit too much money at one time, nor did he dare to remit it too frequently, for fear that it would be unsafe for Lin Xiuqing to withdraw it. 1 yuan was a large package, and if he remitted it too frequently, he would probably be questioned.

So I can only transfer 10,000 yuan occasionally, and keep the rest in my hands first.

Ye's father also told him that he had gone to a secular man some time ago and got 10 guns and ammunition for only 5000 yuan, and asked him to get another 10 guns in a week.

If you do the math, it’s almost time.

Ye Yaodong was happy for a moment, and thought about going over to the house tomorrow to have a chat and say hello, but he didn't expect it to be so helpful. He originally thought that he could only get ten at most, but he didn't expect to get more after a few days.

He couldn't do anything while he was at sea before, but now that he's back he must thank Boss Zhang. Didn't he invite him anyway?
It's a good opportunity to visit him with some gifts.

If there are 20 swords, each person will be equipped with one, the safety factor will be greatly increased, and you will have the confidence and guarantee to continue staying here and making big money.

He didn't know where Su Ren lived, and the few times they met were always in the factory, so the next day, he went to the factory to look for him, carrying cigarettes and alcohol.

Of course, what he carried was definitely not the gift from others, but the wine he bought himself and two packs of imported cigarettes he brought from home.

The factory guard was also very familiar with him. When he saw him, he told him directly that Zhang Rensu had come in the morning and also instructed him to take him to the reception room when he arrived.

Ye Yaodong chuckled and walked in the direction the guard pointed.

The door of the reception room was open and there was no one inside. He casually found a wooden chair and sat down. The guard would definitely go and find Zhang Rensu.

He knocked left and right, looked around, and thought that when he returned, he would also have to set up a reception room like this in the factory. He didn't need a sofa, just a set of mahogany chairs and a set of tea sets.

Just as he was touching the stool, Zhang Rensu came in from outside.

"I guessed you would come today."

"Did your uncle say that?"

"Yes, he came back yesterday and mentioned that he saw you at the dock yesterday. He also praised you a lot and invited you to come over. I thought that since you came back today, you should come over this morning."

After Zhang Rensu sat down, he picked up the thermos next to him and made tea.

"I've got 10 more guns as well. I'll bring them back to you later."

"Thank you. Without you, I wouldn't be able to get around in this unfamiliar place." Ye Yaodong said as he took out the money he had prepared in advance from his backpack and pushed it to him.

But Zhang Rensu pushed back, "I'll consider these 10 guns as a gift to you. Because of what I said a few days ago, my uncle got two more pieces of land from the government, and he will probably get more land."

Ye Yaodong glanced at the money in front of him and didn't touch it. "You didn't buy it?"

"Haha, I also bought a few shabby houses on Fish Market Street."

“Is there any trading market going on?”

"It was mentioned that there has been such a plan since this year, but it is still in the planning stage. It will probably be properly advanced, but it is not clear where the plan is."

Ye Yaodong slapped the table excitedly, "Fish Market Street!"

"Are you so sure? Even we locals are not sure."

"I just guessed with my smart brain."

"It won't be a loss anyway, so let's wait and see. This kind of planning cannot be done in a few days or months, but the outside of the dock is so chaotic, and the trading places are formed spontaneously. It won't work in the long run. It must be planned."

"That's right."

Zhang Rensu smiled and said, "I heard that you have more than 20 large ships and hundreds of boatmen are here?"

"The combination of large and small ships is about the same."

"He's the president of the Fisheries Association in Vancouver? Why isn't he from your local area?"

"It's the same in the local area. It's just an empty name. Can you say it's useful? It's useless. But if you say it's useless, it's still a little useful. It can show off."

"That's impressive. My uncle said that if he had known that you were the president of a fishery association in another city, you should have used this title a few days ago to say that it was the president of another city's fishery association who suggested it, and that might have helped to advance the process. Yesterday afternoon, the overseas Chinese and local businessmen held a small meeting and also planned to sponsor the improvement of the trading market. In the final analysis, the government is just crying poor and waiting for people to pay."

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly, "Just an honorary vice president."

"That's enough. Social reputation is also important. It's just that you are too young at your age. When people see you, they will say you are a swindler."

"That's right. Everyone judges people by appearance. You have to be in your forties or fifties before people think you're reliable. Otherwise, you're just a jerk and can't do anything."

After that, he added: "The dock has been collecting berthing fees for a long time, so how can the government be poor?"

"We donate money every year, but every year we have no money. We need to build government buildings, repair ports, build dams, and repair roads. Everything needs money..."

This is true...

They had not been chatting for a while when Boss Zhang arrived, and his sons also came to take a look out of curiosity.

Ye Yaodong exchanged polite greetings again, sat there and chatted for a long while, giving him another lesson, painting a big picture of this market, and talking about the prosperous future of the local fishing industry, as well as the economic and status that could be achieved in the future.

In fact, these were all hearsay from his previous life, combined with his own understanding of his previous life. What he said was a bit vague and general, but it was more in line with the perspective of the times.

If you think about it, what he said is foreseeable and not nonsense.

After a pleasant chat for the whole morning, Ye Yaodong pushed back the money for the gun before leaving, saying that it was only natural to pay for things.

If you think what he says is pleasing to the ear and not nonsense, then if you plan to build a market, just let him know in advance and he will buy a few stalls or shops.

He didn't dare to buy or sell some of his personal land and houses, and as he was not in the local area, those old and dilapidated houses could be occupied by others at any time.

The land was given to someone else to cultivate secretly, and after a long time it became theirs. It is impossible to explain why, and it is useless to produce a transaction contract as proof.

But official market stalls and shops are still okay, as there are official coordinators in charge, so there is no need to worry about them being occupied.

He talked about those things just to do a favor, so that if there was any fortune to be made later he could have a small share of the profits.

He has too much cash, and there is nothing more reliable than buying houses, shops and land.

A stranger who is unfamiliar with the place can only rely on the protection of local bigwigs or official guarantees, otherwise the purchase will be in vain.

Now, as long as the purchase is reliable, you can buy as many shops, land and houses as you want, and you don’t have to worry about them being scattered. In the future, when transportation is developed, it won’t be a problem to buy houses all over the country.

Now they all knew his general background. Zhang Rensu had also been to his factory in the city. He had a ship, people and a factory, and was already in the same position as them.

Only those with money and capital will be listened to.

What's more, now they also know that he has the official title of vice president. Although it cannot bring him any benefits, he still has some social status.

At least what you say is easier to convince people and more likely to be listened to, which is a natural bonus.

Otherwise, if an ordinary person brags to you, and if his words make sense, you will still think it over in your heart, but if someone is being polite to you, it means you are not on the same level as him, and most people will not listen to you.

5000 yuan, the goods and money are paid, and there is still a favor left. If you use it in the market in the future, you will make a lot of money.

He really doesn't need 5000 yuan now.

Ye Yaodong was holding a sack and carrying a gun, which contained a pile of straw to prevent the shape from being so prominent that people might guess what it was and cause harassment.

As he walked, he thought that with these, although he didn't know about others, his workers probably felt very secure, and it would be no problem for them to earn enough to get through the New Year, and they were guaranteed.

The knife that he had ordered from the blacksmith shop was brought back by his father two days ago, so it was double insurance.

When he took it back, the workers' eyes lit up.

"Now everyone can have one, so we don't have to worry about anyone being blind."

"Haha, then I have to wait until the New Year to earn more..."

"Finally, I don't have to worry anymore."

"It's better to follow Adong Qiang. At least the safety seems to be much more guaranteed..."

After they finished looking at them, Ye Yaodong put these things away again.

Giving them a look is to give them a sense of security so that they can work for him with peace of mind.

But the things have to be put in his and his father's hands, it's impossible to put them in their hands.

He redistributed the quantities, picked up a few more handfuls to take on board, and waited until the day after tomorrow to rest sufficiently before going out to sea again. His father was at home.

But when he was driving his fishing boat not far out of the port, he saw a large fishing boat floating in front of him, which looked about forty or fifty meters long.

What surprised him was that the fishing boat did not start at all, but drifted with the wind and waves. The drifting position blocked his original route, so he could only control it to deviate.

"Fuck me..."

"We're almost at the shore. We can't just ignore the boat while we wait for the mooring arrangements..."

After he cursed a few times, he noticed that the boat seemed a little unusual.

Ships of forty or fifty meters in length are not uncommon in this port. There are also many fishing boats from former fishing brigades, as well as some large ships from fishing companies.

He would not look at it for a long time now, nor would he be curious. Even though the deck of the ship was covered with a large area of ​​nylon bags, he would just think it was a cargo ship.

But it is a bit unusual for such a large fishing boat to drift with the current after arriving at the port.

Ye Yaodong had some doubts in his mind and kept staring at it curiously.

The fishing boat had just left the shore and was not moving very fast.

He looked at the fishing boat and always felt that something was wrong.

After thinking for a while, he saw that the fishing boat was still drifting towards the harbor with the wind and waves, and did not stop because it almost hit him. Then he realized that there was no one on the boat and no one in the cockpit.

It would only drift like this if there was no one on the boat, and it almost hit his boat.

If he hadn't deviated from his position, he would have actually collided with it.

I originally thought that maybe the people were resting in the cabin, and because we were about to reach the shore, I didn't control the ship.

Now that I think about it, this happened simply because there was no one on the boat.

The boatmen on the deck were already cursing the boat for being stupid and almost hitting them.

Such collisions between fishing boats occurred frequently in the past, and no one thought much about it.

But when Ye Yaodong turned the boat around and returned, everyone was stunned.

"Why did you turn around?"

"Adong, what's going on..."

"Why did you suddenly turn around?"

"Oh shit, I bumped into him..."

"Crash!!!"

The boatmen were originally surprised that Ye Yaodong suddenly turned the boat around, and thought something had fallen.

Turning around, I saw that the large ship of about 30 to meters had collided with another ship of more than meters.

There were also multiple collisions as there was another fishing boat over 40 meters long that was about to leave the port at the same time, and the three boats collided one after another.

Fortunately, the fishing boats are not concentrated around. Large ships generally do not dock easily, and the berthing points of other small boats are not in this area. Otherwise, the fishing boats leaving the port would be more dense.

Ye Yaodong was also surprised. He moved a little closer, stopped the boat, and went down to the deck to take a look.

"It's going to be a good show now. I don't know if there will be a fight..."

"Is that fishing boat sick? It almost hit us. Luckily we avoided it, but it hit two more times in a row."

"This is such a wide sea..."

Ye Yaodong said: "There was no one on that boat, no one was in control, so it could only drift with the wind and waves."

"what!"

"No one on board? What do you mean..."

"Why is there no one on the boat?"

"Ghost Ship??"

"Fuck, don't scare me in broad daylight..."

"I thought the fishing boat was about to dock, so I turned off the engine and waited for the fishing boat to pick me up at the dock. I didn't think much about why it didn't drop anchor..."

Ye Yaodong said: "You are overthinking. There is no such thing as a ghost ship. The so-called ghost ship is just a shipwreck. There is no one in control of the fishing boat, so it is drifting on the sea and looks scary."

"That unmanned fishing boat is a ghost ship..."

He added: "This is a cargo ship. There must have been a crew accident. There are still cargoes on the deck. The ship doesn't look old. It doesn't look like it has been drifting for a long time. There is a nylon bag covering it. It must have drifted in slowly with the wind direction in recent days."

"That's such a coincidence..."

"What a coincidence! There are islands around here. If the wind direction doesn't change, it will either drift here or drift to other docks."

"It's just bad luck for those two fishing boats. They ran into an ownerless cargo ship. There's no point in cursing them."

"Luckily we hid quickly."

"The management ship is here..."

There were several fishing boats gathered around watching the fun, all of which were preparing to go out to sea, so they were not in a hurry for the moment.

Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry. Since it was an ownerless ship, it would be directly detained by the dock. He could not find anyone to compensate for the two ships that were hit, so he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

The matter wouldn't be delayed for too long, nor would it delay everyone's going out to sea, so he planned to see it through.

He was more interested in the ownerless ship, of course, on the premise that it couldn't be a ghost ship.

While everyone was watching the excitement, several people on the management boat climbed onto the big ship to check.

I saw several people checking separately. Some went to the cargo hold, some ran to the wheelhouse, and some stood on the deck to check the cargo covered in nylon bags.

Suddenly, the nylon belt was pulled, revealing the tip of the iceberg, and Ye Yaodong's eyes widened.

"Fuck, car!"

"What? A car?"

"Why didn't I see it? I looked at the wheelhouse..."

"Your eyes were shot by a cannon, didn't you see the red car?"

Not only did they see it, other fishing boats also exclaimed in surprise.

A car!

How shocking!

It wouldn't be that surprising if this pile of goods were small household appliances, or food, tobacco and alcohol.

The person who was checking reacted quickly, and after seeing what was covering it, he covered the bag again and told others.

They couldn't hear what was being said over there, but that didn't affect the excited discussions on the boat at all.

"How can there be a car here..."

"Could it be smuggled in?"

"Couldn't it have been transported via a legitimate means? For example, it was transported from Shanghai? And something went wrong on the way, so it drifted here?" Ye Yaodong analyzed.

"It's possible!"

"But I heard that there's a lot of smuggling of this in the south..."

"It's a different matter. There are also cars produced in China. It's hard to say. Anyway, there's no need to guess. It's good to know that this ship is used to transport cars. I don't know how many cars there are."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that the ship carrying the car could float here after it got into trouble."

"Damn, if we had gone out to sea earlier and encountered it earlier, could we have seized this ship?"

Everyone felt regretful for a moment when they heard this.

Ye Yaodong also took a deep breath, but then relaxed. "You're dreaming. It's still dark before you go out to sea. If you run into a ghost ship, it will scare you to death."

"Haha, that's true."

"We wouldn't pay attention to it if we encountered it. For no reason, this ship is bigger than us. Without special circumstances, who would dare to approach it casually? Aren't you afraid it's a trap?"

"What a shame, now the docks are all cheap, whether it's a boat or a car."

He nodded, but it was not a big bargain for the dock, but for the Coast Guard, so it must be confiscated.

But even if he was discovered and recognized at sea, he could do nothing.

There is room for one boat and four cars. Does he dare to drive directly to the shore or directly home?

It's ok for one car, but what about 4 cars?
"Does the car on this boat need to be lifted ashore by crane?"

"Should we notify the Coast Guard first?"

"Should we wait here and see, or should we go to shore first, or go directly out to sea?"

Ye Yaodong said, "When they dock, we will go back to the port to have a look. It won't matter if we delay for half a day or a day."

"That's great. I haven't seen many cars in my life."

"It's a good time to see them lifting the car."

Another one before 8pm tomorrow night
