Chapter 1361 Recent
Ye Yaodong picked up the little man and felt that he seemed to have become lighter?

"Thin?"

Her eyes lit up, "Really?"

Lin Xiuqing smiled and said, "It's not true. I just took off my thick clothes and wore short-sleeved shirts and thin pants in the past month."

"That's right. Clothes become lighter when you wear less."

Ye Xiaoxi pouted, hummed, then used her hands to rub Ye Yaodong's face, forming it into various shapes.

"Hey, hey, hey... What does it have to do with me? I'm not saying anything about you. Go and deal with whoever said that."

Ye Yaodong slapped her butt twice before she let go and said aggrievedly, "I can't beat you."

Ye Yaodong laughed.

Lin Xiuqing also smiled.

The family of three walked into the workshop, and Ye Yaodong put the child down and let her play by herself. The couple, who now had nothing to do, started to help with the work.

The squid season has long passed, and the workshop has resumed its daily routine of roasting dried fish.

When he drove the fresh food boat out to collect the goods the next day and came back, it had turned into grilled squid shreds.

As the variety of fish in the store increased, business became better and better. They were also one of the first companies to open a store in the city and had many trusting regular customers.

There have been many shops following the trend in recent years, but his business is the best because he is willing to invest, stocks the most goods, and has the most varieties.

There is a whole factory building opposite, which looks trustworthy.

Ye Yaodong also has a shop at Exit No. 2. The surrounding area has been extremely lively in recent years, and shops at other entrances have also become easier to rent.

He was thinking about exchanging the shop at Exit 2 with the landlord next door and getting some extra money.

The surrounding shops are easy to rent now. The shop at Exit 2 is now rented out steadily, and the rent is not much different. After all, it has become lively now. I believe that if you pay a little more money, most people will be willing to change.

If it is to be sold, no one would be willing to sell it now. After all, it is the goose that lays golden eggs. If it is sold, there will be no money. If it is not sold, it can still collect rent continuously. People nowadays are not stupid.

After coming up with the idea, he discussed it with Lin Xiuqing and decided to connect the two shops next to each other so that the area would be larger.

Lin Xiuqing had no objection and let him arrange it himself, so when he went to pick up the goods, he asked his father-in-law to help ask.

His father-in-law has been settled in the city for three or four years and knows all the owners of the nearby shops.

This matter took only about a week. He asked the person out for a few talks and paid an additional 1000 yuan, and it was done.

This matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. If we postpone it a few years, the surrounding areas will become more prosperous and people may become more greedy. Now it is relatively better.

After it was completed, Ye Yaodong did not expand the store immediately. As it was enough for the time being, he only opened a small door so that the goods that could not be stored in the store could be piled next door, saving the need to move to the warehouse temporarily.

There is also a small bed for temporary rest inside, which is convenient for occasional rest.

By the time he finished this task, his father had returned by boat.

He had a good harvest on this trip. He weighed part of the goods and gave them to Acai, and delivered part of them to various factories. He received more than 4000 yuan in cash.

His father sold the goods cheaply at sea, and after deducting the money for gas and ice, he still had more than 2000 yuan left, while the value of Ah Cai's goods was about 5000 yuan.

This month, this boat brought in more than 1 yuan in revenue.

I have been out three times since the beginning of the year, each time for about 20 to 30 days, and I have earned a total of 4 yuan.

If I had not come back and had remained at sea, I might have earned more, but not necessarily, after all, all the valuable things would have been brought back.

In fact, it is mainly to be able to go home to rest and take care of the family. Being at sea for a long time is not good for physical and mental health.

Father Ye was relieved to see him coming to pick up the goods, but he didn't have time to chat for long. He only had time to talk after he got home and asked him in detail about his arrangements in Zhou City.

"As long as it's done."

"Well, now I'll call you every two or three days to report on the progress. Everything is fine."

"What about that fish cannery in your town?"

"I've been idle lately, so I've been going there every day. I've picked a good date. The second day of June is an auspicious day for the opening of the factory. I'll go and cut the ribbon, and then the factory can start production right away."

When Mr. Ye heard about the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he sat up straight and quickly flipped through the calendar.

"That's pretty fast. The baby will be born so soon. Um... it's the end of the month... June 6th... the second day of June..."

"Is this fast? Half a year has passed. I have been running a small workshop at home and have made a lot of money. I have been making money for several months."

"There's no comparison. That's a big factory. It's huge and requires machinery and manpower. It's not like just building a few houses and a wall and it's done."

"Ah."

Having invested so much, I will definitely make a lot of money back in time.

"It's already scheduled for the end of the month. It looks like I'll be going out to sea again in a few days."

Indeed, he had originally only thought of setting the time for the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the end of the month, and only remembered that he had to dress formally at the time. He had not really thought about going out to sea, and subconsciously he had already assumed that his father was involved.

The old lady interrupted nonchalantly, "Then you should work more. If you don't work more now, you won't be able to work when you are old in a few years."

"I can't do it, so am I still sorry?"

"You are so lazy. You don't want to do this or that all day long. If you don't do more while you are young, you will be disliked by others when you get older."

"You say that as if I'll please you now."

The old lady thought what he said made sense and nodded, "That's right..."

Father Ye glared at him unhappily, then stood up and went back to rest.

Ye Yaodong took over his father's job of flipping the calendar, and flipped it again himself, confirming the date once again. It was June 6, the second day of the Chinese New Year, and that was right for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. So his father had worked hard, and they should continue to go out to sea in a few days.

Lin Xiuqing waited until his father left before he remembered to ask, "Then there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the end of the month. Dad should be at sea. You won't be going to Vancouver next month, right?"

"It depends. I might just go for a few days and come back. If I go again this year, the cost performance is not high. But it's OK for other small boats. I'll see if other boats go. I'll also go to the lighter factory to take a look."

"We have never taken care of it. We live far away and have never visited it. We are just waiting to share the money. It seems that it will not last long."

"It certainly won't last long. Anyway, as long as we don't mention it, we'll get a share of the money. It doesn't matter how much we get. When they can't stand it anymore and want to redeem the shares, we can talk about it then. Anyway, we've already made a profit."

"Well, we just need to take care of our own business. When the time comes, we can give them a favor. If the price is right, we can just sell it directly."

"I know. We thought so at the beginning."

Starting this year, there are too many varieties of lighters on the market and they are circulated everywhere. He doesn't have much free time, so he just sells the ones in stock and doesn't go out to buy new models. Anyway, this is not his main business, so he just forgets it when they are sold out.

If you have that energy, you might as well run your own workshop and factory better. After all, you are the one who is in charge of this, you have invested your energy in it from start to finish, and you intend to make it bigger and stronger.

He had just finished talking about this matter with Lin Xiuqing, and someone actually came to him the next day and said it was Lin Jingye, his father's friend.

In the past few years, Uncle Jingye has followed him around and made a lot of money, but he did not change to a bigger boat. He still uses that small trawler. He said he was reluctant to change it. It hasn't been operated for many years, so it's enough to make a lot of money anyway.

Uncle Jingye happened to be on break and hadn't been out to sea for a day, so when I saw he was at home I came to ask him a few questions. I was thinking about continuing to chase the jellyfish season this year.

After all, compared to trawling just offshore, being able to catch the flood season for a month or so is also a big profit.

Ye Yaodong only said that he was not planning to go during the flood season, but if they wanted to go, he could go with them, but he would only stay for two or three days and then come back.

As for what happened to everyone there afterwards, he certainly wouldn't know.

"Anyway, you've been there for two or three years, so you should be familiar with the situation."

"Then... the situation of the intermediary receiving the goods..."

"Ask Guang. He should be back in the next two days. Ask him if he wants to go with you."

"Then I'll ask him later. I'm just worried that when we go to catch the flood season, you'll have to leave home and go up..."

"You plan to continue to go to Zhou City this year, right?"

Lin Jingye said with a smile on his face: "Of course, I made money last year. It's much better than at home. The worst one made twice as much as at home. For example, my boat is not rented, so I don't have to pay for it. All the money I make is my own, which is more considerable."

"That's true."

"So I'm worried that if we go to catch jellyfish during the season, you'll have to leave from home and won't be able to keep up with the team..."

"You can ask A Guang about receiving the goods first. If you are sure that we need to catch the jellyfish season, then go. You can call my home to confirm the time for us to leave, and then make preparations in advance. We can stop at the port when we pass by."

When we came back last year, we rested there overnight. Although it was winter and windy then, it’s summer now so it’s not a big problem to stop there.

"That's fine. That's perfect."

"You are really working hard. You want to catch the jellyfish season to make more money, but you are also afraid of missing out on the hairtail fishing season in Zhou City."

Quite greedy.

"Haha, isn't it time to make more money? It wasn't so easy to make money fishing in the past. It was good enough to make a living. It's only in the past few years, with you leading us here and there, that I suddenly feel that money is easy to make."

"Only those who love to fight and take risks can win. This is also because everyone is brave enough to follow."

"Isn't it because I saw that you made money? That's why I dared to follow you. It's because I saw that you got rich, right under everyone's noses, that's why everyone trusts you more."

"Well, then you just wait for A Guang to come back and see how to deal with the receiving of the goods. If it weren't for the peak season, the purchasing agency would have required the full quantity every day. If it exceeded the quantity, they would not want it. You can sell it to whoever you want."

"We just need an agent, otherwise we would go there ourselves."

"Ah."

"That's it for now. When Guang comes back, I'll go to his house and ask to confirm."

Lin Jingye came to his house to ask about it. Later, when someone asked him whether he would go during the jellyfish season, he pushed all the questions onto Lin Jingye and asked everyone to ask Uncle Jingye for his opinion.

Anyway, he was not taking the lead this time. At most, he helped them apply for fishing qualifications, visited Zeng Weimin, and toured the lighter factory before returning.

And A Guang also came back two days later.

It only took half a day, and I went to his house to talk about this matter. He said that Lin Jingye came to see him, but he had not given a specific reply yet, and said he needed to think about it.

"Donzi, what do you think?"

"What do you mean by how I see it? He should have told you that I will only stay for a few days and then come back. I will not go there to earn money during the flood season this year. After all, my small boats have been rented out, and it is not cost-effective to go there with a larger boat. It is meaningless for me to go through so much trouble, and it will only be a thankless task."

“Although fishing is not cost-effective, being an agent is cost-effective…”

Ye Yaodong understood, and he was reluctant to give up the intermediary's commission profits.

"So you want to go along on the boat and earn a commission?"

"I have this idea. Otherwise, it would be a shame to let the agent do the job. Although the big boats didn't catch as well as expected last year and they went out to trawle later, the agents were able to make a lot of money. Between the two of us, each of us got several thousand yuan."

"How about this, if you still want to earn the agency fee, then you go and do it, and I won't do it. You don't have to share the agency fee with me, and I won't care. Just take it."

"Are you sure? Actually, you can just stay over there. You don't have to do anything. Just help weigh the goods..."

Ye Yaodong waved his hand. "I'm very busy now. The freshwater ship has to go out to sea every two days to collect goods. I also have two workshops and two factories at home. I'm really too busy to leave so many things behind just to earn a few thousand yuan in agency fees."

For him, the most important thing is to take good care of those big ships and arrange the delivery of goods to the factory. In the second half of the year, several big ships will go to Zhou City to make big money, and that is the big money.

In the past, working as an intermediary only earned a few thousand yuan after working for two months, which was not as much as what my family could earn by receiving two batches of goods from the fresh water ship.

Besides, he has rented out all 17 boats. If all these boats follow Uncle Jingye to catch jellyfish during the season, he can also get half of the profits.

There is enough for him to earn here. There is no need to try to get all the money and lose sight of the big picture.

It would be better for A Guang to be the intermediary. When the time comes, A Guang will have the invoices. How much did the boats sell for? He can just take the invoices from A Guang and settle the accounts. No one can embezzle the money.

This year, several people wanted to buy ships at the shipyard, but there were too many people and too few ships, and the shipyard's output was limited. Those who needed to rent had to continue renting, and those who needed to do the work had to help him do the work.

Even if someone doesn't want to do it, there will be others who will rush to do it, so there is no need to worry about no one to help him work and earn money.

Small trawlers can earn more by going there to catch jellyfish than by trawling, after all, jellyfish blood is expensive.

All in all, he threw away his responsibilities, but he was still making money, and that was enough.

Ah Guang gave him a thumbs up and said, "Awesome, a few thousand dollars is nothing to you. You give it up just to save trouble."

"I don't do anything, so I can't monopolize the place. Besides, I only need to collect rent from a few boats. If I don't stay there all the time, and you are my agent to make arrangements, then everyone will feel more at ease."

"Okay, then I'll take it and take them there at the end of the month."

"It's actually more cost-effective for you to sail the Harvest. You just need a bigger ship to collect everyone's goods at sea. Then everyone can stay at sea without worrying about going ashore to sell goods and wasting time."

"I know. I just wanted to copy what you did last year, so I couldn't bear to give up. Even if there's really not much cargo, I can ask the captain to go out and trawle the net, and I just need to arrange the collection on the shore, so that both ends will not be left behind."

"So you've already made up your mind, why are you asking me?"

"I want to hear your opinion, don't I? I have to hear what you have to say. Who knows if Uncle Jingye has explained it to you clearly? I have to confirm it with you in person. After all, you are the backbone of the whole village now."

"Your father is having a great time now. He doesn't even have to go out to sea. You do everything. He just needs to collect rent. He has started to enjoy his life at home." Ye Yaodong said jokingly.

"Last year, I was thinking about ordering a few more Harvest boats, and I was also thinking about ordering a freshwater boat myself."

A Guang smiled and said, "My idea at that time was also based on loans. I wanted to borrow 10 yuan like you, and then order a few more ships to do a big business, just like you, a one-stop service. Later, I couldn't get a loan, and when I came back, I could only borrow 1 yuan. How could I dare to think so big?"

"Plus, plans can't keep up with changes. The family has also been divided. My father doesn't want to build them anymore, so he just divided them out and didn't let them touch the family boat."

"I also advised my father that at his age, it would be good to have a few boats to collect rent. The rent alone would make a lot of money, enough for him to enjoy a carefree life for the rest of his life. And don't think about redeeming the boats to the workers. There are many people willing to rent them. The rest of the hard work should be left to me."

Ye Yaodong said: "Indeed, you should enjoy your life when it's time to enjoy it, just take good care of your little son, don't think too much."

"Well, then I'll plan to leave at the end of the month. I'll go and confirm it with Uncle Jingye now, and then ask him to check which boats in the village will go with me when I leave, so we can make preparations in advance."

"If there aren't many ships that want to go, then you don't have to go there."

"Of course. As an intermediary, I need more ships and more cargoes to make money. Let him go and ask first."

"Then you guys can discuss it among yourselves. I don't care anyway. When we set out, I will at most help them apply for fishing licenses, and then I will stay for two days and then come back."

"it is good."

"By the way, the fish cannery in your town is said to open on the second day of the new year at the end of this month, right?" A Guang suddenly remembered this.

"Yes, the second day of the sixth lunar month, which is the 27th at the end of this month."

"Then I might not be able to see you then, so I'll send you some fireworks in advance to congratulate you."

"It's nothing, it's just a small matter."

"How can it be a small matter? Such a big factory must cost a lot of money to set up. It's not a small workshop. You won't be able to have your glory days by then."

"There are photos. I will show them to you when the time comes, so you can know how glorious I am."

"Haha, yes, it is indeed very beautiful now, it is different."

When talking about this, they couldn't help but sigh that in just a few years, all of their friends have changed a lot.

Fortunately, everything is developing in a positive direction.

"You are very successful now, and you even have a big ship."

"I'm just a nobody, how can I compare with you? If there's nothing else, I'll leave first and give the person a definite reply first."

"it is good."

After A Guang agreed, he stood up and hurried to find Lin Jingye.

Ye Yaodong also went to talk to A Qing, and the couple now discuss everything.

Originally, Lin Jingye came to see him a few days ago, and A Qing knew what it was about afterwards.

The two also discussed this matter.

"It would be better if Guang is willing to continue to be the intermediary. You have promised that you will stop in Vancouver to pick up everyone. There should be many fishing boats going there. We can collect more rent for the boats we rent out, and we don't have to worry about them cheating and refusing to pay."

"Ah."

Just two days after they confirmed it, the village started to discuss the jellyfish season again.

It is said that people rely on these flood seasons all year round. As long as they can make money, running around doesn’t matter.

Then everyone said that he had earned enough and didn’t need to go this year. He could earn enough just by guarding a few big ships at home.

Some people came up to him with concern to confirm whether they would go to Zhou City in the second half of the year. Would it be like what Lin Jingye said, to confirm the departure time in advance and inform everyone, and then pick everyone up at the Vancouver pier?

For everyone, catching jellyfish is important, but the most important thing is the season of hairtail. This is the big deal, so as not to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons.

He always gave accurate responses to reassure them.

While the whole village was discussing preparations to set off for Vancouver, Ye Yaodong was also running to the town every day.

The fish cannery is now his largest investment. All the money he has invested, plus the money he has recently given out, is a total of 10.

This must be taken seriously. As long as he is at home, he must come over to check on it every day.

The factory has almost recruited all the employees now. Every time they see him riding in on a motorcycle, someone will greet him respectfully, knowing that he is also one of the bosses.

He can ignore everything, but as long as he is at home, he will definitely come over every day.

There are only a few days left until the end of the month, and it will be here in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yaodong got up early in the morning and put on a formal Mao suit. He had polished his leather shoes the night before and even put some cold cream on his face.

"Dad, it smells so good..."

He also applied it to Ye Xiaoxi, and she was so beautiful that she rushed to look in the mirror.

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful child in the village..."

"Shut your mouth and don't show your gap teeth, you are the whole village..."

"Ahhh, don't say that!"

Ye Xiaoxi was originally so narcissistic, but suddenly she became angry and wanted to hit him.

Ye Yaodong laughed so hard that she chased him out the door.

When he was pushing the motorcycle, she caught up with him and hit him.

"Oh yeah, my camera..."

"Dad, I'll get it for you..."

The one who was beating him at first suddenly became active and ran home to get him the camera.

"Dad, do you want to take a picture of me?"
