Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1274 Sell It Yourself
"Fuck! This is too cunning, is this still human? This is definitely bullying you new outsiders, who don't understand the market, don't have any connections, and don't dare to just randomly find a new ship to collect seafood."

"Too cunning, damn, extorting money. How could your friend introduce such an unreliable person? This is too disgusting. It's worse than eating a fly."

"You can't just swallow this kind of loss. That son of a bitch got away with it. If you admit it this time, he will push your bottom line again next time. You must not indulge this kind of person."

Ye Yaodong also scolded you harshly, and then continued: "The seafood collection ship is sure that you have just arrived and don't know many people."

"You can't just look for the fish collection ship randomly now. That group of people has already taken it. You can only look for him."

Li Shouquan also said angrily: "That's right, he is sure that we can only find him to receive the goods, otherwise the time wasted in going back and forth may cause greater losses, damn it..."

Ye Yaodong said seriously: "You may not know that there was an accident in this sea area some time ago, which was caused by a seafood collection ship."

"There was a group of pirates disguised as a seafood collection ship, shouting on the channel that they were collecting the goods. Not all ships have seafood collection ships docking at sea, and many of them are looking for them temporarily. And sometimes, because of the good harvest, there are also some who do not plan to go back temporarily."

"So last month, some pirates disguised themselves as seafood harvesting ships, approached fishing boats, went ashore, killed everyone on board and threw them into the sea, and looted all the wealth and seafood."

"Think about it, some fishing boats haven't come ashore for days. They are trading at sea, and the accumulated amount is a lot of money, and there are also goods."

"How fast can you make money by killing people? It's much more profitable than fishing. That's why we have to stick together and get to know more people, just in case."

"The fish-collecting ship you are looking for must have been taken. You have no choice but to look for it. Otherwise, if you look for it randomly outside, you may even lose your life."

Li Shouquan was frightened by his words, "Is it true? Is it so tragic? Pirates pretending to capture the freshwater ship? Have they been caught?"

"I don't know. I don't think I've heard anything. I just heard that some pirates are pretending to be pirates and are killing people and stealing money."

"Damn, it seems that it's not easy to make money here. My fellow villager kept saying that you can easily pick up money on the sea. I just took a walk around the dock. Although I know the chaos here, how can such a place with easy money be safe? But it still sounds scary."

"Yes, risks are accompanied by opportunities. The easier it is to make money, the more chaotic it must be."

"After we get ashore, can you introduce me to the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce? People from my hometown should be more reliable. I need to find a reliable seafood ship. Otherwise, going back and forth like this every day will delay a lot of things. How many days will it take for you to dock during this trip? I saw that your boat is not small before, so it should take at least 10 days or half a month, right?"

Ye Yaodong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What a coincidence, I am driving my own fresh food boat out to collect the goods this time."

"what?"

Li Shouquan was shocked.

"Don't bluff me. We were just talking about the seafood ship, and I needed one. You said you were driving a seafood ship. Did you make up that pirate? You targeted me."

"No, that's impossible. It's just a coincidence. You were the one who brought up this topic, right? Before I called you, I didn't know you needed to collect the fresh food ship."

Li Shouquan thought about it and it made sense. He didn't look like a schemer, as he had seen him setting a net on the sea before.

"But that's not right. Isn't your ship called Dongsheng? That ship is used to set up radar nets. How can it be a ship for collecting seafood?"

"I have several boats. This time my father drove the Dongsheng out to set up the radar network, and then I saw that the time was about right, so I drove the fresh-food boat out to collect the goods."

"How many ships do you have? How many ships of cargo do you receive now?"

Ye Yaodong said proudly: "How many ships do I have? The ships I have are probably about the same as the fleet you brought here, right? There are more than a dozen of them, big and small."

Li Shouquan was shocked and fell silent.

Ye Yaodong looked at the other end and saw no sound at all. He continued, "When we came, it was almost the same as when you did, but there were more fishing boats. Almost half of the young and middle-aged men in the village came out with us. Some had boats, and some were working."

"When you said you needed a freshwater boat, I was actually quite tempted because I already have one, and my boat has only docked with four boats, all of which are from our village."

"To be honest, I don't dare to get involved as an outsider. The seafood collecting boats can kill the fishing boats. Of course, it is not ruled out that the fishing boats can kill the seafood collecting boats. This is all risky. I would rather earn less and only collect the goods from my own villagers."

Li Shouquan quickly said, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't say you would set up a trap and specifically target me."

"I met you by accident when I asked for directions. I saw you fishing with my own eyes, and I saw you selling fish at the dock, so I believed you."

"Besides, aren't you the vice president of the Fisheries Association? How could you do something illegal? I can still believe it. I was just shocked just now."

Ye Yaodong said, "Well, I have a ship that sells fresh produce anyway. Do you believe me? Or you can go ashore and sell some goods first. Let's discuss it among yourselves first."

"Okay, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask the other ships. If everyone agrees, it will be a good thing. We don't have to look for fresh-water ships to collect the goods, and we don't have to go to the shore to sell the goods, which will waste time."

"Well, OK, I'm going to collect a shipment today and will probably dock in the afternoon. You can wait for it to dock and take a look at my fresh-catch boat. I can also show you my certificate as the vice president of the Fisheries Association so you can rest assured."

"That's even better. I believe you. If you show the evidence to others, they will definitely not have any objections."

"Okay, then let's talk about it after we get to the shore together. That way everyone will feel more at ease."

"Yes, yes, that's settled. I'll write down your address and tell you where I'm staying."

"no problem."

Ye Yaodong wrote down the address he gave, and after he settled the matter, he made some inquiries and learned that they would be able to dock with a full cargo by the evening, so he cut off the call with him.

They have been out for four days already, so they won't lose money if they dock and sell some goods. It's just a way to get familiar with the market.

He drove the boat to find his father to collect the goods, but he didn't expect that when the goods were received at the Fengshou and were about to be weighed, Pei's father smiled and said to him.

"Adong, it's almost the peak season for hairtail fish. The daily catch is very high..."

Ye Yaodong frowned and asked the others to put down their weighing work first. "What do you want to say?"

"We have a lot of cargo. Every time we dock, each ship can sell for three to four thousand yuan, and the quantity will only increase in the future."

"If the quantity increases, the price will drop..."

"Yes, that's right. But as the weather gets colder, the quality of hairtail will get better and better. You sell it directly to the factory, so it doesn't take much time. Large quantities won't affect you. On the contrary, you can make more money. You're making a lot of money..."

"and then?"

Ye Yaodong already knew what Pei's father was going to say.

"I wonder if we should raise the price a bit? Now that there are more goods, the value is higher, and you don't have to do much. Instead, the four ships are working hard at sea, but the money they earn at sea is the same as your fresh-harvesting ship. Your profit here is too big..."

It is true that if a man does not care about himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Pei's father has demonstrated this sentence vividly.

"How about this, why don't you just take it back and sell it yourself? That way you don't have to earn money for me, you can earn it yourself? What do you think?"

If you spoil him, he will become too arrogant.

He gave up the profit this time because he thought that the ships were indeed working hard at sea, and he only needed to collect the cargo once. He had already found a way to do it, so he made a little less profit and considered it as a favor to his family.

After all, one is my brother-in-law’s family and the other is my brother.

And even if he gave up the profits, he would still get three shares from their fishing boats, which actually only allowed them to earn a little more.

The four brothers of the Zhou family were purely benefiting from this, but being willing to follow them was also considered as supporting him, and could be considered as an appropriate reward. Anyway, he also benefited from it.

The smile on Pei's father's face froze. "I'm just discussing this. When you count the accounts, don't you think the fresh food boats make a little too much?"

Ye Yaodong said confidently, "It's my ability to sell to the factory. It's what I deserve and what I should earn. If I didn't have connections, I would be like everyone else, sitting on the dock in the cold wind all night, waiting for the fishmongers to lower the price, otherwise my fish would be unsalable."

"If the goods are unsalable, they are not considered as costs? Even if a large amount of goods are sold to the factory, a large part of them will be unsalable. Otherwise, where did all the dried fish piled up in the warehouse come from? Aren't they just unsalable?"

"Labor is not a cost, so risk is not a cost? Selling goods at the dock also involves taking risks. Don't think it's that easy."

"If I didn't have connections, I wouldn't be able to make that much money, and neither would you. Compared to other fishing boats, our boats make much more money, and I'm making sure all of your boats don't have to worry about anything."

"Uncle, it seems that you have never sold goods at the dock. Why don't you go back and sell a few goods yourself? Otherwise, you can ask other fresh-water ships about their prices?"

"If there are people who are higher than mine, just sell it to them. I don't mind. People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places."

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he waved to the others.

"Let's go back to the ship. The Harvest will handle today's cargo by itself. This will allow everyone to go back early."

The other workers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

The quarrel with the boss made it difficult for those who worked there.

Ye Yaodong had already climbed back to his fishing boat with one foot. He turned around to look at the others who were still standing there in a daze, and shouted again.

"Let's go, what are you looking at?"

“Oh… here it comes…”

Father Pei looked grim, and he opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't.
