Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1343 Profit
Ye Yaodong still had to go and see what kind of people were left behind to see if his father had made any mistake.

It just so happens that Acai is still here, so if the goods left are not correct, they can be adjusted.

Acai was already shocked and envious of his two factories.

How come he set up two factories after just one month away from home?
He quickly pulled Ye's father aside and asked him all sorts of questions.

Anyway, the goods have been weighed and are almost ready, so we're just waiting for the truck to transport them back and forth. It's a good opportunity to ask Ye's father about the situation.

The workers had been moving goods all morning. Now that they had finished moving all the goods on shore, they began to move other goods onto the deck.

A large portion of groceries was also piled on the deck itself.

Ye Yaodong just took a glance and went in and out to check the types of fish.

I'm sure his father remembered to keep the corresponding goods, including a lot of deep-sea squids and some cheap goods needed for his own workshop.

"Brother Dong, these are what we left on the deck on the last day of our return. Otherwise, we should have thrown them into the sea to save them from taking up space."

"Uncle San said that it was just right to bring them back to dry. Some of the ones that were not suitable for drying were taken back for fermentation by a tractor from the factory."

"Now they are carrying these out, saying that these are goods needed by other factories..."

"Just waiting for you to come over and take a look. Once confirmed, we'll carry it ashore and let you arrange for delivery."

Several workers gathered around him and explained the goods to him.

Ye Yaodong nodded, "I see, I know what's going on."

He sent them back to their work and went ashore to talk to his father.

"The remaining goods are fine. Let's arrange it this way. How long has it been since the tractor from the factory went back? When will it come over?"

"That's good. Why don't you make a phone call and ask? It's been two hours, right?"

"Then I'll let them move the goods ashore first."

Ah Cai pulled him and said, "Brother, you are really great now. Don't forget me when good things happen..."

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "Didn't I forget about you? I just asked you to come to the city to pick up the goods, but it hasn't been long and you've already started calling me daddy, mommy, and God."

"Haha... Isn't it because you have little ability and a small appetite, and you still want to dream..."

He laughed, "That makes sense. You've already loaded the goods, and you're still standing here talking. Aren't you busy? Is there too little cargo?"

"Busy, very busy. Then you go ahead and do your work. You are a big boss now, I dare not delay you..."

Ye Yaodong patted him twice, turned back to the boat to direct people to move the goods ashore and sort them out so that he could deliver them to the corresponding factories according to type later.

Over the past month, he has made quite a few trips every few days.

I am familiar with several factories and can allocate quantities appropriately.

After the factory's tractor arrived, he asked someone to load the goods and also hired a truck to deliver the goods as well.

Dozens of tons of goods have to be delivered to various factories in several trips.

Ye Yaodong asked a few workers from the fish sauce factory to stay here to look after the goods, and asked his father to take the goods on the boat back first.

A Qing was already waiting there at home.

He took the remaining workers to deliver the goods one by one.

After all the goods were processed, he let the workers go back to the fish sauce factory and rode back on his motorcycle.

When he got home, it was already dark. His father had also returned home long ago. The goods had been unloaded, and the workshop was brightly lit as people started working overnight.

Lin Xiuqing greeted him as he entered the door. "I thought it was too late and you would not come back until tomorrow."

"Since it's still light outside, I thought I'd just come back. What time will my dad get home?"

"I got home at about 3 o'clock. After unloading the goods, I had dinner and went back. He gave me the payment and the invoice for the goods sold during this period."

"I'll give it to you too, you can calculate it together."

He sells goods now, and except for Acai who is a little more lenient, all other accounts are paid in cash. However, the payment from Acai must be settled within half a month at most.

"I've calculated that Dad brought back 3236 yuan in payment for the goods. Over the past 20 days, he spent about 7000 yuan on gas and ice."

Ye Yaodong nodded. This was normal. A single tank filling up of that boat would cost at least four to five thousand yuan.

The catch is large and the sales are profitable, but the consumption is also high.

I sell the cheap goods to the fresh-food shipping ship, and after paying for gas and ice, I can still have a few thousand left, which is good enough, since I don't have to pay any money out of pocket.

It's not much different from what he was doing last month.

The valuables are those that were collected from Acai after docking. The total value of the goods on the cargo list today is more than 1.

Then the goods collected from several factories were settled for more than 4000 yuan, in cash, which he also gave to Aqing together with the bill of lading.

Lin Xiuqing went back to the house and calculated the cargo orders. "This means that the sales for this trip were about 28000 yuan. The refueling and ice at sea cost about 7000 yuan. You added another 6000 yuan before departure, so the net profit was about 15000 yuan."

"Yes, after deducting 15 from the wages of 1350 workers, the boat has earned more than 1 this month, not including the squids left in the workshop and those to be dried."

She nodded with a smile on her face.

"You made more money when you came back last month. You made 2 yuan last month. The two moon fish alone made 3000 yuan, and the tuna also made more than 3000 yuan."

"You also said that was last month. Going out to sea is all about luck. No one knows what you'll catch. If you're unlucky, you'll catch junk that can't be sold for money. You'll lose everything."

"What a jinx. This month has been pretty good. We made over 3 yuan from squid strips last month, which is just enough to make up for the investment in the cannery. Dad brought back another batch this afternoon. He said there were to kilograms, which will definitely sell for another to yuan, which is just enough to keep up the pace. My dad said squid strips are selling very well, and there isn't much stock left."

"Well, I knew before I dried the squid strips that they were good. They were much better than the others. No one can resist delicious food. Have you started drying them?"

Just the squid shreds processed and sold in the market would be much better than that shipload of goods.

From the low price of the raw products at the time of fishing, to the production factories, and finally to the hands of sellers, the profit from start to finish is huge.

He catches, processes and sells the fish himself, and keeps all the profits. It's so cool.

It’s a one-stop service, and no one else gets any bargains.

Moreover, he was selling it wholesale, not at retail price, but he had already made a lot of money, several times more than the profit from the shipload of goods that he had caught with great difficulty.

"We'll have someone take care of it as soon as we unload it this afternoon. It's already being dried. Do you want to go take a look?"

"want……"

He immediately walked out of the room and wanted to take a look, but the old lady stopped him.

"Where are you going? I've cooked the noodles, so eat them first, otherwise they'll get mushy..."

Ye Yaodong went to get a pair of chopsticks, picked up the soup bowl and walked out, intending to eat while walking.

"Why is this kid in such a hurry? He doesn't even sit down to eat. He comes back and before he can even sit down, he goes out again. We have to carry the food on the way..."

The old lady looked at his back, muttering something, and followed him out the door.

Seeing Lin Xiuqing following closely, he pulled her aside and said, "Why don't you stop him? Tell him to finish his meal first..."

Lin Xiuqing made some perfunctory responses, then walked to Ye Yaodong's side.

"I let the machine run while drying and drying at the same time, just like last month. Now that everyone is dry, the efficiency will definitely be higher."

Ye Yaodong slurped his noodles and nodded, "Just take care of it. You take care of all these things. I don't have to worry about them. I feel relieved with you around."

She pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's true that women hold up half the sky. You can hold up the whole sky in our family."

"Nonsense, it's you who holds up the sky."

"Yeah, I hold it up, and then you take charge."

Although I have heard too many sweet words, they still make me happy and embarrassed.

She changed the subject, "Now we don't have to worry about bad weather."

"The workshop is still too small. We only have two small low-power machines. The efficiency is too slow. We still have to rely on drying. Now that we can see the market prospects, I want to order a medium-sized machine. I guess the production will not be that fast. Should we place an order in advance?"

"It's up to you to decide. I'll listen to you."

"Let's wait until all the goods in this batch are dried out and then have a look. After all, we just got the dryer, so we have to wait and see how it goes. Maybe we can wait until next month."

"Well, you're right."

Since he could dry squid shreds and dried fish, he wondered if he could open a kelp factory in the future, where he could also dry kelp knots, kelp heads, kelp shreds, and kelp rolls...

If one method can be used, then all methods can be solved.

At present, all these seafoods are dried in the sun, and these dryers are not yet popular, so the output is not high.

There are limited transportation issues across the country.

So this era is really an era of making money.
Ye Yaodong pondered these while slurping his noodles.

The thoughts in my brain have already dissipated and I'm just wondering about nothing.

It was not until he reached the door of the workshop that he regained his composure. It was useless to think about it now, so he might as well do it step by step.

Some things can only be considered small-scale operations. Even if you can make money now, it will be difficult in the future.

The most important thing is to have your own factory, receive the goods collected from the sea, and carry out one-stop production, processing and sales. This is the perfect ecological chain.

Now he can only say that he has taken a step forward and has just come up with a rough outline.

Seeing that he was still eating, Lin Xiuqing asked with concern: "The machine inside is still baking, why don't you sit down and eat first? It's the same if you finish eating and then watch it. There's nothing to watch now."

"fine."

He had wanted to check on the baking condition of the machine in the morning, but he received a call from his father and rushed to the city in a hurry, so he had no time to take a look.

He stood at the door and slurped a few mouthfuls of soup. The noodles were all gone. He finished the soup and did not eat the shrimps, clams and other ingredients. He just poured them on the ground. The dogs at his feet licked them clean so nothing was wasted.

At the moment, he didn't have the energy to peel these difficult things, so he just fed them to the dogs at his feet.

After handing the bowl to A Qing, he strode inside. He could even hear the sound of the machines running.

When the workers who were moving goods back and forth saw him, they all called him Brother Dong.

Ye Yaodong just nodded and continued walking forward without stopping.

Next one around 3 o'clock
