Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1278 Shock
Ye Yaodong accomplished a great thing, but no one in his family knows about it now.

Even A Guang, who had been working with him, didn't know that he had become so efficient.

He just bought the land the day before and got the loan the next day, but he is still struggling and hasn't made up his mind.

Ye Yaodong didn't even ask him to go to the shipyard in the afternoon. He hadn't decided whether to buy the land or not. Asking him to go to the shipyard would only add to his confusion.

Just let him struggle with it, no one else can make the decision for him.

Director Shen did not expect that Ye Yaodong could get a loan of 20 yuan all at once, and he was a foreigner, which was a bit surprising.

Ye Yaodong explained the reason why he was able to borrow 20 yuan, and Director Shen suddenly realized it, but was also very surprised.

It is surprising that a young man who is not even 30 years old already has such a huge amount of assets, and he accumulated it by himself without any help from his family.

"It's amazing."

"Haha, it's all thanks to Mazu."

"May Mazu bless you, but you also have to work hard. You are lucky and amazing. You have a bright future ahead of you."

"I need the factory manager to help me arrange for the earliest possible delivery date."

"Are you sure you want a 40-meter freshwater boat and four 4-meter boats? Not two 24-meter boats?"

"Yes, the current shipbuilding technology is not mature enough, and it is almost enough to order a fishing boat of more than 20 meters for offshore fishing. But I believe that as the country develops, science and technology will advance, navigation technology will become more advanced, and shipbuilding technology will continue to innovate. There will definitely be breakthroughs in a few years. When I have money, I will definitely support national construction and order more large ships."

This is also what he thought about again and again at noon.

It is not impossible to order two 40-meter large ships, so that they can go directly to the deep sea in a few years, but he wants something better. The current marine equipment is still a little poor, and something that can support near-shore operations would be good.

It would be better to wait a few years until the common equipment is better before ordering a large ship.

It is enough to order a fishing boat of more than 20 meters now, and with the same amount of money, more fishing boats can be ordered. The resources of the fishery here are also extremely rich. More fishing boats can create greater benefits. The offshore here is enough for him to make money for several years.

It was not until 1995 that the country promulgated a fishing moratorium policy in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and then the offshore resources in other sea areas and rivers began to slowly dry up after the 90s.

It is still 86, which is enough for him to make a lot of money in the near sea for a few years. When the resources are exhausted, he can go straight to the deep sea. It seems a bit wasteful to buy a 40-meter ship now.

Captain Shen couldn't help but look at him with more respect and gave him a thumbs up, "You are very smart and far-sighted. You have a good plan. Your arrangement is very clear."

"Well, how can I say that all my decisions are right? Anyway, I'll take it one step at a time. I think it's more reasonable to do this, but is it really the most profitable? That's hard to say. People always make mistakes."

"That's right. No one dares to say that what they do is right and reasonable. This cannot be verified immediately and can only be verified in the future. Most people also have moments when they are not sober and their brains are not working. As long as they can bear the consequences, it's fine."

"Yes, so I think it's okay to do this. Even if I can't maximize the profits, I won't lose money. I can still make money."

"Okay, then I'll write the order clearly for you, draw the blueprints first, and have someone list the materials first. Once there's no problem, you can come back to confirm it. Then, once the loan comes in, I'll arrange for someone to purchase and produce it."

"Then I'll come back in two days?"

"Okay, come over in a couple of days and confirm it together."

"Ok."

Ye Yaodong originally wanted to stand up, say a few words of greeting, express his gratitude and then go back, but suddenly he remembered that there was something he had forgotten.

"Oh, by the way, I want to ask, isn't your shipyard state-owned? Do you have a public account? That 20 is not a small amount of money, and it's not easy for me to carry it around, and it's not safe along the way."

"There is a corporate account. You can wait until the loan is approved and ask the bank to directly transfer the money to the corporate account. Then bring the remittance slip to me and I will have someone check the account. If there is no problem, we can arrange production."

"That's great, it's much more convenient."

"Haha, there are definitely business accounts, but most people carry cash around more often and aren't used to using banks."

"Yes, I did this for safety reasons..."

Ye Yaodong exchanged a few simple greetings, then seeing that the sun had already set, he went back.

When he returned home, he happened to meet A Guang who came to look for him.

"Why haven't you been seen all day? I've been here several times."

Ye Yaodong sat at the door waiting for his meal, patted the seat next to him, and said, "I went to the bank to apply for a loan today. I have successfully applied for it. I also went to the shipyard to confirm the ship. Now I just have to wait for the loan to be released so I can start construction."

A Guang was shocked, "So fast!"

"Yes, all the requirements have been met, so it's not difficult to go through the formalities."

"The house is no longer needed?"

"No, it's not necessary. Previously, it only said that houses and land can be mortgaged, but it didn't say that you must have a house. It's the same if you have land."

"Oh, how can you be so decisive? I'm still struggling with it. 2 yuan is such a huge sum, enough to spend for a lifetime. I can't make up my mind to just buy a useless piece of land..."

"Look for yourself. I can't persuade you to spend the money. Think about it first and see if you can afford it."

Although he knew that buying the land for 2 yuan was worth it, he could only predict that the land would appreciate in value, but he could not predict whether it would be occupied by others or whether he could hold it in his hands for a long time.

If the land is occupied by someone, it will be a long road to defending rights, which will be even more troublesome, so let's wait for A Guang to make his own decision.

We are all adults, and we will always weigh the pros and cons. He himself analyzed it yesterday.

"I came back yesterday and talked to my dad. He said it's not worth it to spend so much. If it costs nothing or I can buy an old house for a thousand dollars, which I can live in and get a loan for, then it's acceptable."

"You're right to think so. It was originally said to be interest-free, but because of my status as an outsider. Otherwise, you can go home during the Chinese New Year to see if there is any in our hometown?"

Ah Guang's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Yes, if there are interest-free loans here, then there should be some in our hometown as well. Banks are all state-owned, so the policies must be the same across the country, right?"

"It's hard to say, but if you're really hesitant, you can wait until after the Chinese New Year when you go home and have a look. By then, you will definitely have more funds on hand. If you can't do it at home, you can consider this place next year."

"Yes, that's right. Anyway, there's no rush at this moment. It would be best if we could get something for nothing. After all, it's free, so why not let it go?"

The conflicted expression on A Guang's face had disappeared, he smiled again, and he looked relaxed.

Hearing that Ye Yaodong had already booked the ship and was just waiting for the funds to arrive, he felt a little anxious.

Originally, the two of them heard the news together and decided to do it after discussing it. As a result, he was still struggling with it, while Dongzi was almost done with it, and he was secretly anxious.

Now I am not in a hurry anymore. It would be better not to spend a penny. It’s okay to wait a little longer.

Ye Yaodong added: "But I have to remind you that this kind of good thing will not last long. It will probably only be in the next few years before the country will react. After all, support is support, and the country will never let itself suffer losses."

"Well, I'll go ask when I get home. If it's available, that's great. If it's not, it's cancelled, then it's just bad luck, forget it."

"You came to me several times just to let me listen to your worries?"

"Not really. I came to ask you when the fresh-harvesting ship will go out to sea to collect the goods. I will go out with you on the Harvest. There is no point in arguing, but we have to make money first. I'll let my father watch over us at home."

"My dad and his family said they would be back tomorrow. When they were receiving the goods two days ago, my dad heard that your dad was sick and said he would come back to visit your dad."

"Don't bother with that. He's fine now. Just take some medicine for two days and rest and he'll be fine."

"They will probably be back tomorrow. If you want to go out to sea, you can go first and then meet up with them in two days. I'm going to go out on a freshwater fishing boat tomorrow. I've also connected with several shrimp fishing boats, so I'll have to go out to collect shrimp every one or two days."

Ah Guang couldn't help but show an envious look, "You are really amazing, it's only been a short time and you have already met a lot of fishing boats, you are going to make a fortune again."

“We met by accident.”

"If you have several boats, it's really profitable to collect fresh fish."

"I still owe you 15000. I should have about the same amount of money on hand now. I'll pay you back first..."

The dividends from the other three boats are still in his hands, so he can embezzle them temporarily. When his father's fishing boat comes back tomorrow night, he can sell the goods for money.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it the end of the month? You just bought the land."

"It's hard to owe someone money, even if it's owed to you. It will always be on my mind. If I can pay it back, I still want to pay it back as soon as possible."

"That's fine."

A Guang got up and walked into the house with him, then watched him take out the safe, open it, and then count the change.

Ah Guang was stunned for a moment, "What the hell! They're all change?"

Ye Yaodong pretended to be dumbfounded for a while.

"Fuck you, I don't want it."

"It's all money, there's no difference. Small change is easier to spend."

"Fuck you, I don't want the change. I picked out the Great Unity and lent it to you, but you want to pay me back with this pile of 1 or 2 cents. I don't want it."

"Here's the grass. I'll give you the grass. Is that ok? What's wrong with the change? It's still money. It's enough as long as the amount is enough. I'll give you more."

"Count till dawn. Damn it, no, you should keep it. I have a pile of change myself, and it gives me a headache just counting it."

After accumulating money on and off over the past few months, they have a lot of pocket money, which they can't spend all. How much can they spend on buying groceries and daily necessities?

Previously, we used Datu to send money back home, and Datu was also used for current settlements. So wouldn’t there be some change left?

"Don't be disgusted..."

"Keep it for yourself." A Guang said and walked out.

Ye Yaodong looked at the change that he couldn't deal with, sighed, and could only lock the safe again.

It looks like I have to keep it until the Chinese New Year, take it home, and then send it to the bank to exchange it.

There are actually some big unity coins in there, but the quantity is smaller and they don’t look as impressive as the small change.

"Would you like to stay for dinner? Dinner is about to start. We'll have braised pork tonight."

"I smell it. Give me a bowl to go back for a snack."

"Fuck! You still want to pack!"

……

Before going out to sea the next morning, Ye Yaodong went to find those merchants again and asked them how much goods they needed that day. After making the reservations, he took his men out to sea to collect the shrimps on time.

With his delivery at a fixed time and location, it actually saves the merchants some trouble. Anyway, the transaction price is based on the lowest price at the dock on that day, so it can be said to be mutually beneficial for both parties.

He might earn a little at best, but it's worth it because he can save time.

He made two trips back and forth before he collected all the cargo from the eight shrimp boats.

Before returning for the second time, he went to look for his father, and then several boats returned together.

The goods were handed over to Ye Yaodong for handling, and Ye's father went back first.

When Ye Yaodong returned home, his father said, "This partnership is so troublesome. The cost is recovered, but someone will feel uncomfortable when the money is divided later."

"At the beginning, they were the ones who approached me to be their partner. I didn't ask them to join."

"You are indeed an in-law who is not satisfied. Seeing your seafood boat making a profit, the Harvest Boat also wants a share, and all the big money goes into your pocket."

"The same rules apply to the fresh-food boats. I've treated them very well."

"Well, you're right. Fortunately, Guang just said that he will go out to sea and let his father stay at home. How is your loan going?"

"Almost. Just wait for the loan to be released. I have even gone to the shipyard to discuss and order the ship. Once they have finished drawing the blueprints, I will go and sign and confirm it."

"So soon! I didn't even hear you mention it the other day when we were at sea."

"It was decided in the past two days."

Ye Yaodong told his father what he had done in the past two days. The boatmen around him also heard it and were shocked.

"Oh my God, you...you borrowed two...two hundred thousand?"

"Two...two hundred thousand..."

Everyone couldn't move their tongues straight and stuttered when talking about numbers.

This was beyond their imagination.

2 yuan is a huge sum of money that is beyond their reach, so what an astronomical figure is 20 yuan?

Everyone was silent for a moment and then burst into discussion.

"Fuck! No wonder I told you that day that you found some money. Did you really find 20 yuan?"

"Bullshit, he didn't pick up 20 yuan, he took out a loan, he borrowed money from the country... My goodness, Adong is so bold."

"I also bought a garbage dump. This is such a waste of money..."

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone and dropped another bombshell, "I also booked a 40-meter boat, four Dongshengs."

"Selinmu..."

“Boom…”

Everyone was so shocked that swear words came out of their mouths.

"I will select four or five responsible people from among you to take the helm and become the captains. In addition to the basic salary, you will also receive a 10% dividend of the net profit every year."

"what!"

"Really?"

"Really? Fuck, 10% dividend, how much would that be?"

"This is extra. Depending on the fishing boat's earnings for the year, we try our best to catch more fish, and when the dividends are distributed, there will naturally be more."

Everyone was discussing excitedly.

This is great news for them.

If you ask them to spend twenty or thirty thousand to buy a boat, they definitely can't afford it.

If I buy a small trawler and save up, it should be enough for next year. But it would be even better if I could drive the boat for Ye Yaodong without any investment and enjoy dividends.

Looking at the earnings of Dongsheng this year, you can tell that it has made a lot of money, definitely tens of thousands. This 10% dividend plus salary may be better than buying a small boat and working on your own.

Moreover, following Ye Yaodong is secure, and it doesn't require any thought, effort, or cost.

If I go solo, I don't know when I will be able to get a fishing boat. It would be best if he could strive to become the captain of the boat. After accumulating for a few years, I should be able to save enough money to buy one.

It is better to book a fishing boat while earning money, and then go solo when you have done enough.

Not only was everyone shocked, even Ye's father was surprised.

"How come you just decided on it without even discussing it?"

"It's not completely settled yet. I'll wait for him to produce the drawings and plans, and then finalize the price, and then I'll sign and confirm. I think this is a reasonable way to book it."

The transformation of that cargo ship has been decided and construction has already started. The equipment has been ordered and it is difficult to change. But he will definitely have to build a larger seafood collection ship to prepare for going to the deep sea.

If there were more ships like the Dongsheng that could make as much money as this year, the profits would be explosive.

He put his arm around his father's shoulder, left the excited crowd, and told his father his thoughts.

Ye's father had no objection and felt that there was nothing wrong with his approach.

"But didn't you say it was 10 before? How come it has changed to 20? You are so cruel. You are lending me 20 this time. My heart is trembling."

"Why are you shaking? Haven't you seen the earning power of several ships? To be honest, what does this matter? I can pay it back in less than a year, not to mention that I only need to pay it back within three years."

"That's what I said, but it's scary to hear that I borrowed 20 yuan from the bank."

"Just think about it. The more you borrow, the more you will earn. The boats you build with the money will be free. Of course, the more the better. I just need to pay it back, right?"

"This time I have to pay back 20..."

"Yes, there is no interest, you can just pay back the amount you borrowed. If you pay it back, you can get another 20 interest-free, which is even better."

"You really dare to think so." Ye's father was speechless for his audacity.

He dares to take the country's money for free.

"Think about it, what's there to be afraid of? Okay, don't worry about it, I'm hungry."

"I'm worried that you won't be able to explain to your wife when you go back."

"What's so hard to explain? I made the money, so of course I have the final say."

Father Ye said unhappily: "Then don't push me out when the time comes."

Ye Yaodong did not respond, but said to the boatmen who were still discussing: "Don't tell your family about my loan yet. I just told you about it to encourage you to work hard."

By the way, it was also reported that the garbage dump had been bought and mortgaged to a bank, thus preventing it from being coveted by others. It might even arouse people's hatred of the rich, causing them to throw garbage there more frequently.

That's even better, it would make people dislike that piece of land being dirty and messy even more.

Anyway, he always has to ask someone to organize it when he needs it.

Father Ye glanced at him with disdain and whispered, "You talk so tough, but you don't dare to let your family know?"

"Brother Dong, you are so powerful, you dare to borrow 20 yuan, but you dare not let your family know?"

He explained, "I just don't want to worry my family. It's hard and troublesome to explain over the phone. It's definitely hard to explain clearly over the phone."

"That's true. If a normal person hears that they owe the bank 20 yuan, they would be so scared that their legs would go weak."

"The sky is about to fall..."

"That's not all. I spent 10 yuan to buy a boat, and now I've borrowed another 20 yuan from the bank... Oh my God..."

"If this gets back home, there will be a huge uproar. This is too bold..."

Ye Yaodong emphasized again, "We really can't talk about loans."

I just stirred up a hornet's nest a while ago, and I must not let my family know this time.

"Okay, okay, we won't tell."

"Well, go do what you need to do."

Father Ye walked up to him and said in a low voice, "What if your family finds out? It doesn't matter. If they scold you, just hang up the phone. Men should be tough. After all, the emperor is far away."

"Then why don't I see you being tough?"

"You...I...it wasn't me who did it!"

"You didn't do it, and I didn't see you decisively hang up the phone and stop my mother from talking nonsense."

"I just didn't react. I had just answered the phone and hadn't finished my sentence. Next time, I'll scold her to death."

"Ok."

"Rest at home tomorrow and take me to the shipyard. I'm still confused and you've already ordered the ship."

"Row."

Ye's father followed him into the house, sat aside and watched him eat, and asked again: "You borrowed 20 yuan, and what about Guang? Did you borrow yuan?"

"No, he was told before that he was an outsider, and even with my guarantee, he could only get a loan of 5 yuan. And it would cost 2 yuan to buy the land, so he was a little hesitant. He came over to chat for a while yesterday, but he has given up and plans to go back home to see if there is such a policy there?"

"That's not bad. If you can get a loan back home, that would be even better. You don't have to spend money to buy land. After all, he doesn't earn as much as you do, so you should just take it easy."

Ye Yaodong said: "He also has eight or nine boats, so the profit from the dividends will be quite a lot."

"But he only has 5% of the Harvest, and the dividends from those ships can only make up for what you and the second brother took away."

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm thinking, since you've earned enough anyway, why not let them buy back the shares at the market price, or with a little more money? This will save trouble and make your in-laws unhappy. Guang is also your brother-in-law, and everything will belong to him in the future anyway, so just think of it as helping your sister?"

"Are you okay, Dad?"

"How do you talk?"

Ye Yaodong put down his chopsticks. "It's obvious that it's the goose that lays the golden eggs. Why should I sacrifice my own interests and give it back? Who said that everything will belong to Guang and Huimei in the future? If it's all theirs, then I can take a loss and redeem it for them."

"But don't forget that Old Pei has a little son, and there are two step-sons who are not married yet. They will definitely need to be supplemented in the future."

"A stepson is also a son. The older one helps out on the boat. We used to be neighbors, and I watched him grow up, so he must have gotten some credit. As for my newborn son, that goes without saying."

"If we split up someday and the Harvest is given to him, I will definitely redeem it back to him. It doesn't matter if I get a little less."

"Or, if he wants to build a big ship again, I will lend him money to support him."

"If I redeem the boat from him just because Old Pei is unhappy, that won't work. If I bid too high, he'll accuse me of being black-hearted and asking for a higher price. If I bid too low, what's the point? He won't thank me anyway."

Father Ye thought about it and felt that it made some sense. The composition of his in-laws’ family was a bit complicated now.

"Then let's take it slow and talk about it later."

"Well, it would be best if A Guang spent his own money to buy a big ship, instead of using his father's money. All the money he earns is his own. Let his father decide how to distribute the money in the future. Besides, if the Harvest is rented out at that time, no one will be unhappy."

"That's true. If he can get an interest-free loan at home next year, that would be a good thing."

"Of course. Just take out an interest-free loan to buy a boat. It's better to start a new business without spending a penny on his father. There is a saying that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. The youngest son must be his sweetheart. Regardless of whether it will come true or not, it will definitely not be wrong to make more plans."

"Ah... it's so complicated. Our family is simpler."

"Don't worry too much, it's none of your business. Just do more work, I'll take care of the rest. You don't know anything, so it won't be difficult for you. If you have any problems, just scold me in front of others. This way, you can get rid of yourself and save some face."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "You went to their place just now? I think some of them scolded me, right?"

Father Ye glared at him and said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

Teach your son in front of others and teach your wife by your side.

By scolding him, Ye's father could ease the relationship and give Pei's father a way out.

Ye Yaodong knew what his father would say to him. He would definitely say that he was wrong for coming back immediately. If he didn't agree, he should at least talk to him in a nice way...

Or maybe he has a bad temper, and it’s caused by the old people at home. Don’t bother with him…

How could he not know his father?

Father Ye added: "Anyway, let's just let this matter pass. We'll just have to deal with it as it is."

"Ah."

"I will be the one to receive the goods at home, and you will go out to sea?"

"No, I contacted a few merchants and solved most of the fish sales problems. I have to contact those you don't know. So you should go out to sea. Anyway, it will be Guang who will go out to sea next. I can't deal with Lao Pei."

"Well, that's fine."

Father Ye also asked about the merchants he knew and any recent goods he had received.

The father and son, one is at sea and the other is on land. When they come back to rest, they always communicate and talk about recent events.

The workers at the door were also analyzing whether it was more cost-effective to rent those small trawlers, or to become the captain of a ship and get a 10% dividend.

After all the calculations, they all felt that each had its own advantages, and taking dividends was pure taking after all.

Small trawlers have to bear the cost of fuel and labor. Although there is a lot of cargo here, they still account for about 20% of the sales.

Then Ye Yaodong took away 50% of the sales, not the net profit, so everyone only got 30%.

The main reason is that there are no ships available for them to rent now, and experience with large ships is even more difficult to come by.

There is no comparison even if you do the math. It's best to go where there are vacancies.
