Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1352 Return in Time
His mother is a good person who protects her children and won't sacrifice herself for others.

As long as our own people don't suffer any loss, everything can be discussed and anything is fine.

Ye's mother continued to gloat over the misfortune, "Those who were still waiting and watching last year are now slapping their thighs. I didn't expect that there were so many people who signed up at the beginning, but not many people actually did the work later. As a result, each of them can still get 300 yuan this year."

"Then I think their thighs must be swollen. After all, they are really busy for only a few days. The rest of the time they just need to take turns to manage and take a look."

"Now we have tasted the sweetness, and next year the revenue will more than double."

"It's okay to have more. We don't have enough to sell this year. There are only 20 to 30 tons. If we run into a few more wholesalers, it will be gone in no time."

Ye Yaodong said and turned to look at Lin Xiuqing, "I'll go up there in a few days. You can take a look at the situation. If the price of cuttlefish drops, you can buy more. We can also dry them like squid."

"I know."

The old lady asked worriedly, "Why are you going up again? How long will you be gone this time? It can't be another half a year. It's just after May Day, and the calendar is still thick..."

"Don't worry, it won't take more than a month. I estimate I'll be back in about half a month."

"Half a month, that's not bad..."

Ye's mother asked, "Did your friend say when he would come to pick you up?"

"Tentatively, mid-month. The specific date depends on the situation. Today is only the 8th, and there is still a week left. There is no rush."

"Then you should be more careful. Fortunately, I brought someone with me."

"Ah."

As the family was sitting and chatting over dinner, the phone suddenly rang.

Lin Xiuqing went to answer the phone immediately. She thought it was her father calling. It had been 10 days since the telephone line was connected, and the only person who called her was her father.

After picking up the phone, her eyes immediately turned to Ye Yaodong.

"Adong, look for your friend."

"Hmm? Speak of the devil, and here he comes."

He stood up and immediately answered the phone.

When everyone heard that they were looking for him, the whole family's attention was focused on him and they didn't even care about eating.

As soon as he hung up the phone, everyone asked: What did you say?

"Come over tomorrow and pick up another 10 tons of cargo."

"This guy is quite amazing."

"Not impressive. Can you drive a big car across provinces?"

"That's good. You can make more money. That's not bad. The friends you know are all very useful." Ye's mother praised.

"You're not going to talk about bad friends anymore?"

"That was in the past. Now it seems that everything is fine. In the past, I was really annoyed by people. I couldn't even hold my head up because people pointed fingers at me every day."

"Tsk, now you have earned face. You don't have to hold your head up low anymore. A lot of women envy you for giving birth to a good son."

"That is."

Ye's mother smiled with a smug look on her face.

The day after Ye Yaodong received the call, he drove his boat to the city. He had been planning to go out to sea to collect cargo today, so he came over to greet the secular people first.

After he had established a good relationship with the other party, the bill was settled in cash, and the man left with a truckload of goods, he took the workers out to sea to collect the goods.

Today is already the 9th. He counted on his fingers and felt that his father would be back in the next few days.

Last month we went out to sea four or five days after Qingming Festival, so it has been a month now. The last time we went out to sea was only for more than 20 days, so it’s not even a month yet.

He was always worried that his father would not be reluctant to come back because of the large amount of goods and delay his going out.

He has arranged everything now, just waiting for his father to come back and deal with the shipload of goods, so that he can go out without any distractions.

Fortunately, his father didn't delay too long. When he drove the seafood collection boat to the dock at night, it was still unloading. It was still dark, and he happened to see the Oceangoing No. 1 ship returning. He breathed a sigh of relief.

He came back just in time this time. Today is already the 10th, and his father calculated it to be exactly one month.

The unloading and weighing here was almost finished, so he left it to Acai and the workers and went to say hello to his father first.

When Acai knew that Oceangoing Ship No. 1 had returned, his heart trembled again.

"How come they are all together? These two ships are together. How can I handle it... so much cargo, oh, my head is overwhelmed..."

Not only did he complain to the workers, but when Ye Yaodong turned around, he pulled Ye Yaodong aside and started talking.

"These two boats have come together, you see..."

"I know you can't eat it. Most of the goods have been taken care of. Didn't you see that there weren't that many goods unloaded to you at night? Only some valuable ones?"

"That's right... Are your two factories operational? Can they handle it?"

"Not yet. A proper factory is not a small workshop. How can it be that fast? But we can consume some of it. My father also sold some of it at sea, and only brought back the more valuable ones."

"That's good, that's good." Acai was immediately relieved.

Ye Yaodong said: "You also need to think about how to expand your business. Get two transport trucks and let your brother, nephew and nephew directly transport goods to the surrounding areas."

"This also requires capital. I gave you all the money I earned, and it turned into goods. Then I had to work hard to make more money, and gave it to you, and it turned into goods again. I... I don't even have the money to see it..."

Ye Yaodong almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

It seems so.

His goods are shipped back every two or three days, and he can only take a break when a few ships come back to rest. If it weren't for several processing factories sharing the burden, he would be selling them 24 hours a day and worry that he would not be able to sell them in time.

Now the settlement is done twice a month, and the sales proceeds from the middle and end of the month must be settled to him on time. Maybe Acai will have money in his hands before the bill is settled.

He quickly comforted her, "How could you not see the money? It's just that it's all turned into goods. It's the same for me. The money I received turns into goods, and the goods turn into money again, and the cycle continues."

"You don't have any? Once you bring this stuff back and turn it into money, the money is in your pocket. Why would you need to spend money to buy the stuff?"

Ah Cai looked at him up and down with contempt as if he was not easy to fool.

"I'm not buying goods. I'm putting the money in my pocket and buying boats. Besides, I employ many people, but you only employ a few? I have hundreds of people on my boats and in my workshops, and my monthly salary expenditure is 1 yuan."

"That's true. You're a big boss now, so it's normal for you to pay more. Hurry up and weigh the goods that just came back from that ship, and send them to the market as soon as possible. It would be better if they are beautiful, so as to attract customers and sell the goods faster."

"it is good."

Everyone happens to be at the dock today, so there is no need to delay and the goods can be unloaded and weighed overnight.

Ye Yaodong handed the weighing work of Acai to his father, and delivered the other goods needed by the factory overnight. Anyway, those processing plants operated 24 hours a day.

After a round trip, it was already dawn.

By the time we finished delivering all the goods, the sun was already shining brightly.

He and his father each drove a boat and headed straight for the village.

I didn't have time to chat at the dock just now because I was busy unloading the cargo. Only now when the ship is sailing do I have some free time to chat in the channel.

When Ye Yaodong was at the dock, he had already asked his father why this trip took so long.

His father said that when they went out, they encountered windy, rough seas and heavy rain, and the signal was too weak. They were worried about getting lost, so they didn't dare to run around. They went back to the provincial capital to dock and stayed there for two days before thinking about continuing to go out to sea.

That's why I stayed a little longer, wanting to make up for the lost time.

It is best to come back safely, the quantity of goods is secondary.

On the way back, he also called his father and told him about his plan to go to Zhou City in a few days.

"Luckily you came back today. If you were a few days later, I don't know if you would have made it in time."

"There will be more trawling these two days, so I thought I'd stay for two more days, otherwise I would have planned to come back around the 7th."

"As long as you are safe, just rest at home for a few days. There is no need to rush."

"Since you are going up, has everything been arranged at home?"

"Everything has been arranged. We have just finished collecting all the kelp at home, and have arranged for someone to start the fresh-water boat. When the time comes, we can just send the corresponding goods directly to the factory. The factory will also issue a bill of lading. The bill of lading and the payment will definitely match. We don't have to worry about them swallowing it up. We have to hand it over to A-Qing for verification when we get back."

He added, "Then if you go by boat, the next trip back will be about 20 days later, and I will be back by then."

"Other families have Ah Qing, so they don't necessarily need me to be there, she can take care of everything. Also, there is a telephone installed at home and in the city shop, which was just installed at the end of last month, so it will be convenient for us to communicate when the time comes."

"All installed? That's pretty fast. It will be convenient to make phone calls at home in the future." Father Ye was happy.

"When I can't work anymore in a few years, you can move the phone out and put it in the workshop. I'll be there to watch over the shop and collect money at the same time."

Ye Yaodong laughed and said, "You want to make double the money."

His father could have worked for at least another 10 years. By the millennium, the Xiaolingtong system would have been available and popular.

"Well, since the telephone line is already connected, it would be a waste if we don't use it to make money. You don't need this little money anyway, so you can earn some for my retirement."

"Okay, as long as you can earn it by then."

"Of course you can make money. It's so easy to make money. Just sit there in the sun and answer the phone and you can make money."

Then just pray.

Father Ye inquired about the kelp harvest in the village during this period. When he heard that each participant received 300 yuan, he felt envious.

"If I were in the village, there would definitely be some."

"You still need these 300 yuan? How can the 300 yuan I gave you compare to that? Don't try to make money everywhere. You will end up losing the big picture while picking up sesame seeds."

"That's what I said. I didn't do any hard work, but I could earn 300 yuan in half a year. It was too easy. Last year, it was just the beginning. The village committee was working on it, but the money didn't fall into everyone's hands. Everyone just watched and made money. This year, the money actually fell into people's hands. Next year, a lot of people will follow suit like crazy."

"Of course. Who wouldn't do it if they can make money? And they don't have to leave their hometown, and it's easy."

"Then will no one want to go out with us? Instead, they will stay at home and grow kelp."

"A big reward will always bring out the brave. Our monthly salary is over 100 yuan. When we get older, we may stay in the village."
