Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1279 Reconciliation
Ye Yaodong had just verbally reserved the several boats that he had loaned out with interest-free loans, and the boatmen had already started to work hard.

If you can become a ship captain, one year of work can probably be equivalent to five years of work.

The next day, as soon as the father and son got up, the boatmen asked them when they would go out to sea again.

Father Ye just smiled and said to take a day off, replenish supplies, and go out to sea again tomorrow morning.

Ye Yaodong also laughed and scolded them, "I haven't seen you guys so active before, take turns, just like before."

"Hey, we were very diligent before, we did whatever we were told to do..."

"We'll go out for a while and go to the shipyard to check on the boats. We'll be back at noon. You can take care of the house. If you have nothing to do, go fetch water and chop more."

Everyone responded quickly.

The shipyard did not produce the design draft that was agreed upon yesterday, so today the father and son could only look around and take a look at the cargo ship.

Ye's father also started working.

He squatted by the side and watched the masters work with great interest for the whole morning. He also acted as a handyman to lend a hand to the masters and helped with the moving and lifting things. He was not shy at all.

Moreover, the work is not done on their own cargo ship.

I stayed there for the whole morning and still enjoyed it. When I left, I was still thinking about coming back to help after lunch.

Ye Yaodong was speechless. His father acted as if he had never done any work.

"are not you tired?"

"Why are you so tired? It's just a little bit of moving and lifting. What's so tiring about that?"

"If you want to work so badly, you might as well come here and work as a part-time worker."

"What is a part-time worker?"

"I'm paid by the hour."

"This is fine, will they accept it? Am I a little too old?"

"Fuck, I was just saying it casually, and you took it seriously?"

"I just wanted to see how they built the boat and help out a bit."

"If you want to come in the afternoon, just come by yourself. I won't come with you. Anyway, I've already seen it this morning."

"If you don't come, I definitely won't come either."

"I also thought you hadn't worked for a long time and wanted to work."

"I want to farm, but there is nowhere to farm..."

Ye Yaodong was too lazy to pay attention to his father.

Father Ye was still mumbling, "Then I'll go out for a walk this afternoon, pick up some broken wood, and come back to take a look. I'll make a wooden box and get some soil..."

He originally thought that his father was just talking. After all, he said the same thing last month, but he didn't see him go out to collect wood.

However, this time his father was not just talking big.

At noon, he settled the accounts of several boats with everyone and then went to take a nap.

When he woke up, he saw a pile of broken wooden boards at the door, some of which still had the shadows of desks and door panels.

He stretched and yawned loudly.

"Where did you pick it up? Other families didn't take it back to burn, so how could they leave it for you to pick up?"

"Haha, didn't you buy that garbage dump? I had nothing to do, so I thought I'd seen the factory but not the land. I went there this afternoon to take a look around and see how big the land you bought was. I really picked up a lot."

Father Ye paused for a moment, then put his head close to him mysteriously and said, "Let me tell you, I also picked up a gold ring, a big one."

Ye Yaodong was surprised for a moment, "You can still pick up gold?"

"Yes, I was so happy when I found it that I ran back immediately for fear of being seen. Then I couldn't sit still anymore, so I asked others to help me search. I picked up these pieces of wood and brought them back. Some of the others also found money."

"Fuck, that garbage dump is actually a treasure land?"

"Isn't it?" Father Ye smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. "This land must be good. You can find money and gold here. It must be right."

"Knew it……"

It's true that sanitation workers often pick up goodies that fall from the sky.

How much trading volume do the stalls on the pier and the surrounding areas have? It is normal for people to drop money. If no one finds it, there must be a lot of money dropped over there.

Don't mind it, go over there and take a look, maybe you'll find something useful.

“How much money did everyone else pick up?”

"Some of them picked up a dime or two, some even a few cents, but no big money was seen. Look, there were money to pick up, and they saw the gold I picked up, and they all became jealous and addicted, and they were reluctant to come back and kept rummaging through it."

"No wonder I said I didn't work today. No one was playing cards at the door. I thought the sun was rising from the west."

There are always one or two card tables in front of his house every day, and there are people taking over from morning to night, not to mention that everyone came back yesterday.

No wonder he could sleep so well at noon and didn’t feel any noise.

Father Ye laughed, stood up and pulled him into the house, "Let me show you the gold ring I picked up."

"Everyone else is still looking through the pages, why are you back?"

"I can't straighten my back, and I feel dizzy from the sun, so I thought I'd come back to rest, drink some water, and bring back these woods to wash and dry them in the sun."

As Father Ye spoke, he took out a large gold ring from his pocket. He put it to his lips and blew on it, then wiped it again and again with his sleeve before handing it to Ye Yaodong.

Ye Yaodong took it, held it up and looked at it, there was a tooth mark on it, probably because his father had bitten it secretly.

He said with a smile: "You are very lucky. I don't need to buy gold for you now. I can just buy some for your mother, my mother, and my wife."

"What? What did you say?"

"I've been out for half a year now. When I go back in two months, I'll buy you all some gold, gold rings, gold bracelets, and gold necklaces. Just buy as much as you want. I'll make a lot of money, and I'll go back and make the whole family happy."

The more Ye's father listened, the wider his eyes became. He snatched the gold from his hand and said, "Then what I picked up belongs to me. How can you mix them together? These are two different things."

"Don't you already have all of these? The women in your family don't have any yet. It's because they like these gold and silver."

"Who said that? I like it too. Who doesn't like this golden yellow?"

"It's fine if you have it."

Ye Yaodong walked out while talking, and almost made his father anxious. He was not so happy even with the gold ring in his hand, and hurriedly followed him.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't afford to lose face.

After teasing his father, Ye Yaodong looked at the time on his wrist, it was just past 3 o'clock and it felt still early, so he planned to go to the garbage dump to take a look, leaving behind Ye's father who was no longer so happy.

However, halfway through his journey, he met a group of dirty boatmen, some of whom were grinning, some were sighing, and most of them were holding strange things in their hands.

"Are you back from work?"

"Haha, I'm back. It stinks. There are too many bugs and flies. I came back to rest and wash myself first."

"where are you going?"

"I originally wanted to watch you guys rummaging through the garbage, but now that you're back, let's go back." Ye Yaodong also turned around and walked back.

However, he stood a little further away from them. They all smelled bad, and their rain boots were stuck with something, which made him feel disgusted just by looking at them.

Everyone talked about how much money they had picked up as if they had found treasure. Some even picked up a big unity. Some even picked up some copper wires and iron pieces. It looked like they were just picking up junk.

Only two or three people returned empty-handed, while the others were able to pick up some useful scraps, which was somewhat funny to watch.

"Then the garbage dump is a good place, right?"

"Yeah, except that it's a little dirty, a little smelly, and has a few more bugs, everything else is fine."

"Hahaha……"

Ye Yaodong couldn't hold back any longer. "I will use this land next year, and then I will let you guys clean it up. You can search while you are searching, and you can get paid to dig for treasure."

"Haha, your dad picked up a gold ring this afternoon, so everyone followed him. We had nothing to do anyway."

"pretty good."

But, his father probably won’t be happy now, right?

Haha.

He had long had the idea of ​​buying gold for his whole family, but until the unfortunate incident, he could only talk about it.

Before leaving, he thought about asking Ah Qing to look after the twins. When the twins turned one year old, their mother would definitely buy gold for them. He asked her to buy some as well.

I guess, since he didn't ask, A Qing definitely didn't take it seriously.

I've been away for so long, so I have to bring some gifts back for the New Year. I've made a lot of money this time, so I bought a few things for the girls who stayed at home.

Of course his father was also indispensable, always helping him without a single complaint. He did whatever he could for him.

I was just teasing the old man just now, and I will give him a surprise later.

After the boatmen went back, they were all talking about the matter. Everyone was happy and particularly envious of Father Ye. This cheered him up and he smiled and became happy again.

Father Ye also generously took out the gold ring and showed it to everyone so that everyone could envy it, and then put it on his middle finger.

I even carry it with me when I eat, and I carry it on my right hand which I use to hold the chopsticks.

Every time he stretched his hand, everyone could see the gold ring on his finger, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but follow his hand.

He is quite scheming.

Ye Yaodong was secretly happy watching these people. He guessed that if he bought one for his mother, the old couple would have to eat like this in the future.

If he buys a gold bracelet, it will be so terrible that his mother won’t be able to put down her sleeves.

When it was time to go to bed at night, his father reluctantly took off the ring. Then he turned his back to him without saying a word. He was probably still sulking.

It was only after he pulled his father aside to talk about going out to sea tomorrow that his father started to communicate with him normally again.

He also had to go out to sea the next day to collect shrimps. By tomorrow morning, it would have been two days, and it was just the right time for him to go out with his father to collect some.

If we wait for the next wave, we can collect these ones in our own village one after another.

However, he didn’t know if it was because he had used up all the sunny days in the past period of time, so he only went out to sea to collect two
When we were transporting goods, it started to rain heavily and the wind started to blow.

Not knowing what the situation was at sea, all the small boats had returned to the port, so he could only wait for news at home. If they didn't return the next day, he would have to go out to sea again to pick up the goods.

Fortunately, there was no need to wait for him to go out to sea again. Ye's father and his men calculated the time and returned early after their warehouses were fully stocked.

When you go out, you won’t go wrong if you are more careful. No matter how windy or rainy it may be, you would rather earn less and make sure you come back safely.

As the rain fell, the temperature dropped rapidly.

A cold autumn rain.

During the rain, it was also the meeting time scheduled in advance by the Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. Ye Yaodong arrived on time that afternoon wearing a straw raincoat.

There are a lot more people this time, more than 20 people in total, and it will only be about ten days.

Perhaps because it was raining, all the fishing boats returned one after another, so this trip was particularly crowded, and most of them were strangers to him.

Only those who attended the first meeting were familiar with Li Shouquan. After all, they had dealt with each other many times in terms of goods purchase and sale, and the transactions were quite pleasant.

He also made a prominent appearance at the meeting and was introduced as the vice president of the Fisheries Association.

This time, he even brought his ID with him just to prove himself to be a stranger.

Because he also heard that many people joined the chamber of commerce because there was a vice president of the association in the chamber of commerce, and they felt that he was more reliable and trustworthy.

As for him, he looked rather young and words were not enough to prove his point, so he thought of bringing the little notebook with him to prove himself and put it into practice.

Although he doesn't do any work and is just a mascot, he is a reassurance and a source of cohesion for many people.

Official identities are always more convincing and more valuable.

After the meeting, no one was in a hurry to leave. Everyone introduced themselves again, and after the meeting, everyone contacted their target persons.

Ye Yaodong also started chatting with some familiar or new acquaintances.

He hesitated for a moment and talked to everyone about the interest-free loan.

However, he also emphasized that it is difficult for outsiders to get interest-free loans here. If you ever go back to your hometown, you can consult the local bank.

This interest-free loan is an opportunity for many people to take off, but most people have certainly not heard of it.

He had never heard of it in his previous life, and only when he lived longer did he realize how many big shots rose to fame by doing this.

The fact that these people from Vancouver are willing to come out and make a living shows that they have some courage. Given a little opportunity, they might be able to soar to success or develop even better.

From now on, it’s all about favors.

He was just telling them a piece of news and doing them a favor. They would decide for themselves what to do.

The meeting had originally ended, but after he spread the news, everyone focused again to listen to him and ask him questions.

When everyone heard that he had borrowed 200,000 yuan, they were all shocked and their mouths opened so wide that an egg could fit in.

After she recovered, she admired him very much again. She had originally thought that he was young and looked down on him, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

But when I heard him talk about this loan, which sounded logical and true, I began to believe it for the most part, and I felt that one should not judge a person by his appearance.

In my heart, I put his age out of my mind and even had a little more awe in me.

Everyone would hesitate about lending 100,000 yuan, but he directly loaned 200,000 yuan. Everyone can't help but admire him.

Ye Yaodong never expected that just because he borrowed 200,000 yuan, he would become the idol of everyone in the Chamber of Commerce.

It wasn’t because he had many boats, nor because he was the vice president of the Fisheries Association!
At the same time, the atmosphere of the meeting was pushed to a high point, and everyone could not help but have greater confidence in the development of their chamber of commerce...

Ye Yaodong was surrounded by people at the same time, so he could only continue talking.

"Anyway, I found out about it by accident, and it was my friends who helped me. As for what everyone else is going to do, you should make your own decisions and discuss it with your family. What I said is just my personal opinion, and what I did is just my personal behavior. It's for reference only."

"If there are any consequences, I will not be responsible. I have to tell everyone this. Our chamber of commerce is supposed to exchange information and help each other."

"You guys should decide for yourself. Everyone should be responsible for their own actions. I am only providing information. It is best for you not to be influenced by the outside world and think and judge for yourself."

Everyone nodded quickly and said that they appreciated the favor, but as for whether or not to do it or what plans they had, they would think carefully about it.

They will be responsible for all their actions, good or bad in the future.

Ye Yaodong's move also earned him some prestige. The fact that he was able to borrow 200,000 yuan and dared to borrow 200,000 yuan showed that he was very capable.

Moreover, he has so many ships on hand, which shows that he has strong financial resources. He also has an officially certified identity, so it is definitely safer to do business with him.

Even the captain of a ship came to him, wanting to give his goods to him. There were also two businessmen who wanted to establish a long-term supply and demand relationship with him, just to give him face and make friends.

Ye Yaodong did not expect such an unexpected surprise. He suddenly became worried and felt that if he developed more, one seafood collection boat would not be enough.

He can still accept orders now, just two more boats of goods, and they will definitely not go in and out at the same time as his fishing boats, so there will be no problem in staggering the time, and a businessman has just come to him again.

However, since we just met, we still have to be a little cautious. Who knows if we are trying to lure him or set him up?

Anyway, he already has quite a few ships now, so he doesn't need these two ships. Besides, there is only one seafood collection ship, and he is worried that he will not be able to handle it if he adds more.

He was worried about handing it over to the workers. After all, these transactions had to be made in cash, and he couldn't afford to hand over such a large amount of money to the boatmen.

After he regretfully refused, his mind turned away.

Now that he is not familiar with the situation, he will not take on boats casually, but in the future he certainly cannot do everything by himself, he will definitely have to ask others to do it.

He can train people first, and after he gets familiar with these fishing boats, he can then send boats out directly to collect the goods and weigh them without any cash transactions.

When he was not going out to sea, he would wait at the dock to receive the goods. Anyway, he knew what time the fishing boats would go out to sea, and the docking points were all fixed.

He only needs to arrange the transaction, receive the bill of lading and the delivery note, and then let the ships dock and come to him to reconcile the accounts and get the payment.

Anyway, the merchants are already there, so all he has to do is provide transportation and go to the sea to collect the goods from the ships. The merchants on the shore will take them away, so there is no need to worry about unsaleable goods.

But this year is probably uncertain.

Trust also takes time to build.

This is also a future plan.

Ye Yaodong chatted with the people from the Chamber of Commerce and went out to have dinner together before going back.

He gained a lot from this meeting, and it was worth his trip in the heavy rain.

So it’s not that there are no resources, but that the resources are not integrated. Once they are integrated together, it will be mutually beneficial.

When he got home in the evening, he told his father about this.

Father Ye didn't know what to say.

It's a good thing to say, but the risks are also increased.

"I originally thought you were just joining in for fun, but now it seems you're quite involved."

"It doesn't matter. Just think of it as getting to know more people. Even if I suffer a loss, I should be able to bear it now. It's okay. It's also good to have more merchants trade with us. Anyway, I refused the fishing boat."

"Well, don't agree to someone you don't know easily. Who knows if they are targeting you or setting a trap for you? On the sea, if someone has intentions, you can't help but cry out to the heavens or the earth."

"That's what I think. I'd rather not make the money than to ensure my own safety. I can only accept it after the danger is eliminated."

The best thing is that he runs his own fleet and all the people he deals with are his own people.

The benefits will be kept within the family and the safety factor will be higher.

It’s almost time now. After the interest-free loan is approved, the shipyard can start construction. Next year he will have his own fleet, which will belong completely to him and everything will be under his control.

After a few years of accumulation and when ship technology is more advanced, it will no longer be a dream to spend a large amount of money to build a deep-sea fleet.

"You have made a lot of money now, so don't take any risks. It's best not to get too involved with those people. Who knows who they are? After all, we are not from Vancouver."

"I know, I know what's going on."

Father Ye sighed in his heart and said nothing more. He was almost 30 years old and there were people who were better than him. What else could he say? At most, he would help out more when needed.

The rain kept pouring down for five or six days, and the temperature dropped lower and lower every day.

It's almost November, and everyone has already put on sweaters and thick coats.

They each bought wool and asked nearby women or elderly people to help knit the sweaters, and paid them a little money for the work.

Fortunately, Ye Yaodong reminded them in advance so they could put them on in time.

As it was raining and he had nothing to do during these few days, he went to get the cotton-padded jackets he had ordered and distributed them to everyone.

Now all we need is a quilt, which will be ready in less than two days.

Everyone is now shivering with cold when sleeping at night, but they have thick clothes and cotton-padded jackets, so they can cover themselves up and deal with it casually.

Taking advantage of the rain these days and the fact that it was almost the end of November, Ye Yaodong called several boats together and planned to settle the bills in advance.

Who knows when the rain will stop? If it stops, we won’t have time to rest. It’s better to settle the bill in advance so that we can go out to sea on a sunny day.

After all, he had 16 boats launched, and settling the accounts at the end of the month was a huge project that took at least half a day.

If there is a mistake in the calculation, we will have to argue about it for a long time.

These dozen or so trawlers are certainly not as good as the Dongsheng, but they are much better than at home.

Under normal circumstances, one can only sell thirty or fifty yuan after trawling at home for a day. If he is lucky, he can make sixty or seventy yuan. However, one-third of the profit will be deducted for the gas, and he will have to take the other half. But even so, it is better than going out to work or being a boatman.

It’s different here. We sell at least 100 goods every day. Now it’s the peak season, and the sales can reach 200 sometimes.

This is because of the peak season, and the price of fish is low. Many times, fish are unsalable and can only be sent to him at a discount to be dried.

After all, these ship captains have to go out to sea every day, and they have a limited number of workers to take with them, so they have no time to deal with these unsaleable fish.

Only Ye Yaodong has enough manpower. Even when going out to sea, there are only 6 people on the Dongsheng and two on the small boat, so there are still more than ten people at home. If the seafood boat goes, six or seven people will help, so there are still seven or eight people left at home.

Those who stay at home also have to work, which basically involves killing fish, drying fish, and cooking. After they are done, they can do whatever they want, so there is no waste of manpower.

Ye Yaodong could send some of the goods to the factory, but most of the goods left over from sales could only be dried in the sun.

Items that are easy to sell can be sold out early.

If you look into it in the final analysis, it is because the goods caught in the trawl are too diverse, which is why so many of them are unsaleable.

Some of these fishing boats can harvest more than 100 catches a day, and sometimes they can sell more, up to 200. Of course, they will take a break occasionally, as no one can stand the high-intensity work.

But after accumulating the money for a month, the selling price of a boat is about 2000 yuan, and if there are several boats, the price can be nearly 3000 yuan.

After all, there are still three or four days left until the end of the month, and it is raining again. If it hadn't rained, all the boats would definitely be able to reach more than 3000 yuan.

So when they settled the accounts at night, everyone was happy, but also a little sad.

After all, after arriving in Zhou City, Ye Yaodong let them manage the boat they rented independently and let them sell the goods themselves.

He doesn't have the energy to collect their goods one by one and then set up a stall to sell them. It's not like there are more than a dozen boats all going in and out at the same time.

If he really wanted to collect all the cargo from the small boats and sell them himself, he would have nothing to do and would have to sit in the dock in the cold wind from morning to night. No matter how many people he had, they would not be able to do it.

He could save a lot of trouble by letting them handle the goods independently, and he would rather turn a blind eye and treat it as a subsidy.

Anyway, most of those who rented the boats were his cousins, and they were also the first ones to follow him.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

There are more than a dozen ships competing there, and no one dares to go too far. If the gap is too big, it will arouse suspicion, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

After all, we are still in Zhou City and have to rely on him for survival.

Due to the typhoon last month, the cargo was not as much as this month. He only got 1 yuan from the 900 ships, an average of more than yuan per ship. This month it is more.

In his hand he held a list of snails, all of which they had brought over.

The cargo manifests corresponding to each ship were pinned up with a clip, and he settled the bills according to the cargo manifests they brought over. The top manifest listed how much money each ship should pay him.

After calculating the accounts, they all responded with a smile and said they would go back to get the money immediately.

But Ye Yaodong could also see how heartbroken they all were.

After all, he had to give out half of the money he earned, whereas in the past, the money passed through his hands and he would then divide it up. The feeling here is different.

One is taking out, the other is taking in, there is a huge difference.

Ye Yaodong held the list in his hand and used the calculator to calculate it, while waiting for them to bring the money.

In total, a total of 21631 yuan was distributed.

It will really make them feel painful.
