Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1285 Solo
I just received the goods yesterday and came back early this morning. There wasn’t much goods.

The two ships combined did not carry as much cargo as the previous day.

However, when he made the arrangements and found a tractor to transport the goods, A Guang came to him with a tired look on his face.

"Dongzi, can you still accept the goods?"

Ye Yaodong was asking everyone to weigh the goods. He recorded the weight and turned to look at A Guang curiously.

"It's morning now, the sun is out, and the fishmongers have collected all the goods. I just contacted them, but few of them are at home. Those who are still there don't need it, after all, I just sold it yesterday."

"The factory is the only one that needs a few specific items all day long, regardless of the time. I thought I would just buy the other items for myself at a lower price and leave them for drying fish."

He plans to go home next month, so there's nothing wrong with stocking up a shipload of goods. They're not worth much anyway, and they're all on his own ship, so he can free up some space.

Ah Guang rubbed the bridge of his nose. "I came back from the dock in the early morning. My father was still selling goods at the dock. He asked me to keep them for him to sell together. It's daybreak now and there are fewer people. It's not easy to sell them. So I came back to ask if you want any."

As soon as Ye Yaodong heard it, he knew that Pei's father was still feeling awkward, otherwise A Guang should have done the same as his elder and second brothers and sent him over directly when they reached the shore.

"That's fine. Just send me the few items the factory needs. If there are any other fish that can't be sold and are suitable for drying, you can also send them here. I will buy them at a low price then."

"Okay, thank you."

"Well, go and get it ready. I'll take one truck here first and come back to get more later."

A Guang nodded and left first.

After a while, Zhou's brothers also brought over the remaining goods. Most of them were left, and he took over all that he could.

After he had been busy for half the morning and had finally transported all the goods, he let out a long sigh of relief and sat down.

Then he calculated the bills on several shipping lists and received cash for all the goods he had taken to the factory.

But there are also a large number of fish left here to dry. At this moment, the men are killing fish there while basking in the sun. This cold weather is most suitable for drying fish.

Even after he muted his calculator, it was still making clicking sounds.

It took him a while to realize that A Guang had not left.

"Hey? Why are you still here? Go back and eat something and sleep. You've been up all night. Why are you still standing here? When I finish the bill, I'll send it to you at noon."

"It's not about the account."

Under his curious gaze, Ah Guang considered for a moment and whispered, "Dongzi, what do you think about me going to the factory to order a boat myself?"

Ye Yaodong looked at him in surprise, "You don't want to work with your father anymore?"

"I kind of want to do it on my own. I can't always follow him. There are more people who can work for him now. I'm thinking about doing it on my own."

"I have money on hand, not to mention the intermittent profits we made from collecting jellyfish in the past few years. Since I got married, my family has also settled accounts and divided the money at the end of each year, and my father always gives me half of the money he earns."

"I just want to build a boat of my own first. It's obvious that building a boat is more profitable now. I also thought about building a big boat before, but my father only had me as his son at that time and didn't want me to go to sea. Now it's easier for me to do that."

Ye Yaodong was thinking about what to say. He didn't want to get involved in this matter. If he did, people might think that he was the one who said that A Guang was working on his own and not helping his father anymore.

"Why don't you talk to your father about it? He should be able to understand you. You are not a child anymore. You are almost 30 years old. It is normal for you to want to start your own business."

"Well, I'll talk to him when I wake up later."

"You're married and have three children. It's normal for you to want to do something. You don't have to worry about your father's face. It's not like you're poor, so I think he can understand."

"Ah."

"Go back and rest early. You can talk again when you wake up and your mind is clear."

"it is good."

A Guang got up and went back first.

Ye Yaodong took the pen, played with it and thought for a while, and felt that what A Guang wanted was a good idea.

Separated from his father, his father no longer has the only son, and now he has a stepmother and a stepson.

After he went solo, if he needed any help, he would ask his father for it. He didn't really need to rely on his father in the first place, as his father had always been inseparable from him.

It’s different now. His father got two sons for free and had another one, so he doesn’t have to rely on him anymore.

If you explain it clearly, he will definitely agree to let him go solo.

He also said that his father would give him half of his earnings at the end of every year, and the money he earned belonged to him, so apart from eating and drinking together, their financial matters were almost clear, which was no different from splitting up the family, so there was no need to be obsessed with separating and living separately.

After all, it is not often that a son asks for a separation of the family. Usually, parents only think about separating the family when they see their sons grow up, get married and have their own families.

They only have one son, and it is rare for them to split the family property, so they all rely on their son to support them in their old age.

He works alone, and his father has two step-sons who can help with the chores, and the current working team is also there.

In the future, his father can distribute the remaining money as he sees fit. Anyway, he had taken half of the cash early on. After he goes solo, what he earns is his own and there is no need to mix it up with his father's.

His father's family is a bit complicated now, so it would be better for him to withdraw sooner.

As for the fishing boat that the family bought earlier, it all depends on his father's conscience. Anyway, he can earn more if he works alone.

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and continued to calculate on the calculator.

The two of them were sitting alone talking, while the others were chatting about killing fish and basking in the sun, and didn't listen to them, and the story didn't spread.

He didn't tell his father specifically. After A Guang woke up and talked with Pei's father, he would naturally come and tell him the result.

Maybe I have to ask him for advice, whether I should order a boat here as well. It seems a bit late to order it at home, and I don't know the order schedule of the shipyard back home.

After he finished calculating the list of goods, he stretched himself and went back to the house to continue counting the payment. After he finished his meal, he would deliver the money to each family one by one to settle today's bill.

The clanging of coins continued, and Ye's father's snoring in the room was deafening, but he was not affected at all.

Ye Yaodong thought that his father was the best, he ate well, slept well, and didn’t have too many worries.

After lunch, he went door to door to settle the payment for the goods made that morning.

When he arrived at A Guang's place, he saw from afar the father and son sitting at the door talking. The father and son had also seen him early on, then stopped talking and looked at him with a smile as he walked over.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Yip Yao Tung’s signature opening remarks.

"I ate already, how about you?"

"I've eaten too, so I'll take advantage of the sun to walk out and digest my food, and also give you the payment for this morning's goods."

"Then let's go inside and talk."

Ye Yaodong followed them into the house before taking out the money. "Check the bills and count them first. What were you talking about?"

He asked pretending to be ignorant.

"After dinner, let's sit in the sun and chat for a while."

"Well, I'm going to the shipyard this afternoon to look at the boats. Do you want to go?"

"Go ahead, but it's going to be a little later. I'll come to your house to find you?"

"Okay, you guys check the accounts first, if there's no problem I'll go back first."

Father Pei looked at the amount on the bill, counted the money on hand, and then said with a smile: "We are all confident in your work, and you never make mistakes. With you here, everyone saves a lot of trouble. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to stay here so smoothly."

"No, it's actually a mutual benefit. It saves everyone a lot of trouble and makes money smoothly, so I can also make money."

"A Guang is not as good as you. I will need your help more in the future..."

"No, Guang is smart too. We are all childhood friends, brothers, and relatives. We all have to help each other. Nothing else, I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he looked at A Guang again and said, "I'll wait for you at home. Come find me when you're done."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong rode his bicycle back and waited.

Although the wind is strong, there is sunshine during the day and it is still quite warm as long as you don't go out to the dock to enjoy the breeze.

The workers got together again after dinner. They laid several piles of mats on the ground at the door and sat on the ground, basking in the sun and playing cards. He saw that they were quite comfortable.

He also found a bench to sit down, with his back to the sun, while waiting for Ah Guang. He guessed that he should be talking to Pei's father about going solo.

"Ding ding..."

When the bicycle bell rang, he thought it was A Guang coming so quickly. He turned around and saw that it was Jin Lai Xi?
He quickly stood up and went to meet him, "Haha, what brings Boss Xi here?"

"Northwest wind, I have to ask you for advice, otherwise I will be in trouble."

"What's your idea? What happened? You made a special trip here. I went to look for you this morning, but you weren't there."

"I'm busy with the Chamber of Commerce. We have successfully registered yesterday, and the government has agreed to let us set up the Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. I originally thought that with our fundraising, at most a few thousand dollars, it would be enough to buy a piece of land, but building a house would be a problem. I also wanted to ask the government to support us in allocating a piece of land to us..."

"What good things are you thinking? How is it possible? We are lucky to be able to sell it to the Chamber of Commerce. If you want to give it away, it's impossible. We haven't brought any benefits to the government, and we have nothing to give them. Just by talking, you want to get a piece of land for free? Don't even think about it."

Moreover, there will be hidden dangers in the future. If the government supports sending out something, then it can be taken back with just a word, right?
"Well, isn't that a good idea? If they don't agree after a try, we can talk about buying it. It might be easier then. Otherwise, if they refuse outright, there won't even be room for negotiation."

“That’s a way of saying it.”

Ye Yaodong led him to the bench and sat down and talked.

Jin Laixi added: "I've thought about it again and again, and each person can't contribute more than 100 yuan in collective fundraising, at most 100 yuan. If it's more, others won't agree even if they have money. After all, no one is willing to pay so much money without seeing anything."

"This 100 yuan is not a small amount. I guess after I tell you about it, some people might quit directly."

"That's why I'm a little worried. I don't know how to make a decision. What's more worrying is that the money for buying the land may be enough, or I can negotiate with the government, but what about the money for building it?"

Ye Yaodong said: "Those who are not happy can just quit, no need to force them. Some people are new to the club, and they are not familiar with the club. I guess they will feel uncomfortable asking them to pay 100 yuan for nothing."

"That's right. Originally, I thought we could each pay a few dozen dollars, pool together 2,000 or 3,000 dollars, and buy an old house. Now, I think you want to build a bigger one, make it more presentable, and use it for decades, so it's obviously not enough."

He didn't seem to say it would take decades?

"What are you going to do?"

"Aren't you here to discuss this with me? To ask for your opinion? People tend to listen to you, and your words are more effective."

"Listen to me, then I will say that each person will pay 100 yuan, and then we will say that this is the money to buy the land, and it will be paid directly to the government. At that time, the land will be transferred to the Chamber of Commerce and belong to the Chamber of Commerce, not to individuals."

"What about Gai..."

"If we build it, what I mean is that we, the initiators, will pay, and other members don't need to pay any more. If we say it, no one will be happy, and it will also arouse public anger, and the Chamber of Commerce will have to be disbanded."

Ye Yaodong shared the ideas that came to his mind on the way back.

"We should take the lead, so that others can be convinced. We have each contributed a thousand yuan, so it is not too much for each of them to contribute 100 yuan, right?"

"When the time comes, we should speak in a nicer way. Everyone will give us a thumbs-up, and we will have more authority when speaking in the future. After all, the entire Chamber of Commerce was founded by a few of us."

Jin Laixi thought silently for a while, "What you said makes sense. I was thinking that we should not let everyone continue to contribute money to build the house, as it would easily anger the public."

"Yes, have you chosen the land? Have you negotiated the price with the government?"

"I have chosen it, but the price has not been discussed yet. They said they need to measure it before giving a price. I will negotiate with them after they give me the price, and then tell everyone about it at the next meeting, so that we can collect the money."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and said, "How about this. When you hold a meeting to raise funds, tell everyone about it. I will donate 2,000 yuan, and the rest will be paid by the other sponsors. A total of 4,000 to 5,000 yuan should be enough to build a large flat."

Jin Laixi's eyes lit up, and he gave him a thumbs up, "Brother, you are so generous! You are so generous, just pay 2000 directly."

"Hey, isn't this for the better development of our Chamber of Commerce? By the way, I can play a leading role. After all, many people join the Chamber because of me and because they trust me. If I pay more money, it will make everyone more convinced and trust our Chamber of Commerce more."

"Besides, it's our Chamber of Commerce that's such a great organization that allowed me to meet so many people. My brothers are also very generous and have saved me a lot of trouble. I have to give back to the Chamber of Commerce and it's only right that I pay more."

"I will just bring the cash over there, and everyone will definitely have no objection after seeing it, and will just pay."

Jin Laixi's face was full of smiles. "Of course, since you have taken the lead in paying so much money and set an example, others will definitely have no objection. As for the remaining money for building the house, we friends will share it equally, which should be several hundred yuan. The piece of land I like is not very big."

"You decide. If you have enough funds and can allocate more land, then try to allocate as much as possible. The more land the better. You don't have to use all of it for construction, but you can occupy some first."

"Okay, I'll try to bargain with the government. If the price doesn't go down, I'll ask them to allocate more land."

Ye Yaodong nodded and said nothing. Just let him handle it.

With limited funds, we can only get as much land as we can. Members cannot pay more. His payment of 2000 yuan is sincere enough. After all, the land is not in his name, and yuan is enough to stabilize his initial position.

"I knew that when I came to your place, you would definitely have an idea. The big problem that had been bothering me for several days was solved in an instant."

"What a big problem! It's just a matter of money. 99% of the problems in this world can be solved with money. Everything is easy if you have money."

"Yes, if you have money, everything is easy. If you don't have money, don't even think about it."

Ye Yaodong continued to chat with Jin Laixi about the importance of money, since they were free anyway.

A Guang didn't come over for a long time. If he didn't come over again, after Jin Lai Xi left, he would go by himself and stop waiting.

Just when they were chatting happily, A Guang rode his bicycle up to him and stopped.

"Dongzi..."

"You're finally here. All the flowers I've been waiting for have wilted."

“Only after the flowers fade can there be fruit.”

"Results?"

"Well, you have a visitor?"

Jin Laixi stood up tactfully and said, "Now that the matter has been resolved, I have to go back as well. I have other things to do. Let's talk next time."

Ye Yaodong also stood up and said, "Okay, let's talk next time."

After the two waved goodbye, A Guang sat down.

"Who is this? Why haven't I seen him before? How do you know so many people?"

"This is the person from the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce I told you about before."

"Oh." Ah Guang looked at him with envy, "You have not come out in vain. Wherever you go, you will know people there, and there will be organizations everywhere."

"Isn't this group of people who are not organized all artificially? If you know a lot of people, there will always be some who are useful. You have to manage your personal connections."

"I don't have your good luck. Shall we go now? It's almost 2 o'clock. If we go, we can only stay for a while before it gets dark again."

"I'm still waiting for you. You've been dawdling for so long. If there weren't guests coming to talk to me, I would have left long ago. Who would still be waiting for you here? Let's go, and we can talk while we walk."

"it is good."

Ye Yaodong rode the bicycle that was parked at the door, told others that he was going out, and when he came back from dinner, he and A Guang rode on two bicycles and went out.

"My father agreed, Dongzi."

"I was wondering if your father would agree? This in itself is not a big deal. It's normal for you to want to buy a boat and do it alone."

"My father agreed that I could go it alone, but he wanted me to order a freshwater boat."

The corner of Ye Yaodong's mouth twitched. The old man was really good at planning.

She was really jealous of the money he made from the seafood boat, and she also wanted A-Guang to build a similar one so that she could keep all the money within her family.

"Who are you selling your goods to? Where is the docking ship?"

A Guang was also a little embarrassed, as if he didn't want to let Dongzi get away with it, and he sighed.

"Well, with the eight or nine boats I have, my father said that the boat owners are all thinking about booking their own boats next year."

"We just talked a little bit. He was thinking of doing us a favor by ordering two boats like the Harvest, and then selling those boats to the captain who rented our boat at market price."

"This way, we will have enough money to pay the balance, and we can also ask people to work hard for us for another year or two. With this buffer, we can save some money and not empty our family's nest egg."

"It's also good for those ship owners. They don't have to go to the shipyard to order ships that quickly. Besides, they are used to operating our ships, so they can be cheaper than new ships."

"As for the fresh-water ship I have booked, I will only need to collect my own goods. It will be the same model as yours, and I will be able to make a little more money."

"As for who to sell the goods to... just sell them slowly. You can always build up your network slowly."

It sounds reasonable.

Just copy his route for collecting fresh food boats.

When A Guang told his father that he wanted to go it alone, his father probably had already thought about it in his mind.

"Your father has thought very carefully about everything. He has considered every aspect and has also thought a lot about you. He paid for the boat and will give you half of the money when the time comes."

"He was thinking of ordering two more ships. He would drive the Harvest himself and give one to Jianshe. He would then be paid a salary and share profits. The other ship would be for Dongqing's future husband, who would also pay him a salary and share profits. This way, they would all be family members."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh, "Your father has planned everything very clearly. Dong Qing's husband hasn't even shown up yet, and he has already allocated everything?"

Ah Guang was also a little helpless, "Isn't it? I also said that he was thinking too far ahead, and he said that Dongqing has reached the age, and there are things at home one after another, and now we are not at home, otherwise we would have to find a date this year and get married at the end of the year. Now we can only wait until next year, which is also within the plan."

"If word gets out, matchmakers will be knocking on your doorstep again. It's great to be your son-in-law. You can have everything if you marry a wife."

"Yeah, this is almost as good as me being your father's son-in-law."

"You know you found a treasure?"

Ah Guang smiled and said, "Of course."

Ye Yaodong got back to the point and told the truth, "Your father's plan is quite good. After coming here this year, I finally understood how easy it is to make money. It's normal to think about ordering a few more boats and making more money. I even went to the shipyard and ordered several more."

A Guang also wanted to take out an interest-free loan to book a fishing boat, making money out of nothing, but he gave up because he had to pay 2 yuan to buy the land.

It is normal to make reservations at your own expense now.

There is nothing wrong with not stealing or robbing, but following the path that he has already taken to success.

However, if the goods cannot be sold by then and you want him to help, he will definitely be unable to help.

Next year he will have a bigger fresh-food ship, plus four more ships. His own cargo is already amazing, so he will have to find more buyers.

But he also supported A Guang in booking a few more boats. After all, money would depreciate if left alone, so it would be better to spend it on production tools.

His main reason is that he now has a lot of production tools, and he cannot take too big a step for fear of not being able to connect the dots. Also, the conditions for going to the deep sea are not sufficient now, so he can make enough money near the coast.

Now he had to wait until he got home to calculate the family’s total savings, and then discuss with A Qing how to make better use of the money.

I will definitely have to spend money next year to clean out the new garbage dump I bought this year and build the rental house, which is also an expense.

As for the rest, he would have to think about it and make plans after he gets home.

"My father also heard that you took out an interest-free loan to order five more boats, so he just had the idea. Since I want to go it alone, he might as well help me and then follow your example and order two or three more boats."

"I don't have an interest-free loan, so I'll just pay for the reservation myself. Anyway, I'll just have to pay a portion of the deposit first. If my family can also get an interest-free loan, that would be even better and less burdensome."

"If it doesn't work, there's still a year's buffer, so it won't empty the family's bank."

Ye Yaodong said: "Of course, your family will have its own cycle. When your younger stepbrother grows up in a few years, you will have more helpers."

"That's all for the future."

"Your father's marriage was a good one."

A Guang's mouth twitched and he didn't respond.

"That's perfect. We're going to the shipyard now, so you can go and take a look. Do you want to make a reservation here? Or should we wait until we get home?"

"Let's take a look first. I have to discuss it with my father after I finish. I don't know the delivery date at home yet. My father wants to wait until I get home to make a reservation. Otherwise, if we make a reservation here and the customer doesn't come to see it, we have to wait until the second half of the year..."

"You can order an all-steel fishing boat here, and order the other two when you get home. This way, the delivery date won't be too rushed. And you only need to pay a deposit, so what's there to be afraid of? All-steel fishing boats are safer and better, and they're not available back home right now."

"I thought so too. I went to learn about it first. But because it was an interest-free loan, I just took a quick look and thought I would confirm it after the loan was approved. After it didn't work out, I never looked at it again. Now is a good time to go and learn more about it. By the way, you can also show me the drawings of the ship you ordered and copy them for me."

"Copy your uncle, I set the target at 40 meters."

"I can't afford it, but I can get him the same one, just in smaller sizes. I guess it's made entirely of steel, so it'll be much more expensive than your freshwater boat."

"That's for sure."

Ah Guang felt distressed again, "How much did your seafood boat cost?"

"35000!"

"Shit, if I order a full steel one, it will cost 5, right?"

"To be conservative, it should be yes."

"Forget it. It's not enough to go bankrupt. I have to take this seafood boat home to book. I have to save my money."

"Then you should find out the cost of a steel-only one. Ask more questions and ask him to come up with a few more options."

"That's fine."

The two of them rode their bicycles slowly side by side, talking as they went.

A Guang was also open-minded. He said whatever he thought and planned, and he told them all about his father's thoughts and plans without hiding anything.

Ye Yaodong was also satisfied with his honesty and could understand the mentality of following the trend to make money.

Anyway, he doesn't need the goods from Harvest. No matter what, he owns 30% of the shares in Harvest.

All the goods have been collected for him this year. Next year, A Guang will work on his own. It is normal for it to be his turn to collect the goods from his own ship. His family will account for 50%, and it was agreed at that time that his family would be the dominant one.

"Hello, is this 2009? I'm reporting you with my real name. My dad is Han Li..." Han Yuan was reborn on the first day in , and he resolutely reported the incident for the sake of justice.
