Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1375

It is better to take precautions in advance than to wait until something happens, as it will be too late to regret then.

After everyone dispersed, while waiting for dinner, each table would knock on its own workers.

Later in the evening, the workers went out less frequently. Even if they went out, they would just take a stroll after dinner and come back before 8 o'clock. They would also ask a few more people to go in and out together.

Human life is so worthless here that sometimes, when someone dies, there may be no one to collect the body, and it will just be thrown onto the mountain and buried.

The second typhoon has just passed, and the weather is not calm yet, so everyone is still staying at home.

On the last day of the month, they also calculated the dividends from several ships.

Ye Yaodong collected rental fees for 17 boats, and also owned 3000% of the shares of two boats with two friends and % of the shares with three brothers, totaling more than yuan.

This trip only took us three or four days, and the boat went back and forth on the same day, so it was quite a good profit.

By the way, Ye's father also chimed in, saying that it was the end of the month and the construction site was almost finished these days, so the rent would have to be calculated starting next month.

Everyone nodded and said it was right.

Father Ye smiled broadly, and those who didn't know would think that the money went into his pocket.

"Now the rent for any house outside is 20 yuan a month. Dongzi's place is large and safe, much better than other people's old and dilapidated houses. But we are all family, and we are from the same village. I can't charge you more, so I will do the same as others."

"Everyone has helped out over the past half month. We just arrived, so it's only natural that we provide everyone with a place to stay. So there's no need for that."

What a good substitute.

After Mr. Ye finished speaking, everyone nodded and took out their money.

In addition to the three rooms he reserved for the workers, he and his father occupied one room alone, leaving 3 rooms, and he also collected 26 yuan.

Father Ye said happily, "Hey, this is quite a lot. The rent alone is over 500 yuan. By the New Year, it should be to yuan. It won't take many years to get back the money, right?"

"It's more than just a return on investment. The land is ours," Ye Yaodong counted out 50 yuan and gave it to his father. "The salary will be paid after the Chinese New Year. This is pocket money for you. You can buy whatever you want during these few days of rest."

"It's too much, and I don't have anywhere to spend it."

As Father Ye said this, he naturally took it and put it in his pocket.

"I'll use it to buy groceries. I go out to buy groceries every day recently, and the money is quite a bit."

"You decide for yourself. Tell me if you run out of money."

"it is good."

Just two days after the typhoon passed, the glass factory delivered glass to be installed on the windows.

As soon as it was installed, everyone took out newspapers to cover the windows.

This newspaper was ordered by Ye Yaodong from the postman after he arrived. He had one delivered to him every day, but it was not enough for everyone to post.

But at least the work on his side was completed, and he settled the wages with the foreman and the carpenter.

Taking advantage of the fact that he didn't go out to sea these days, he went to the Chamber of Commerce every day to play cards, and also caught up with the weekly meeting on Fridays, and got to know quite a few more people.

At the beginning of the month, he would visit the factory from time to time and increase his daily delivery volume.

Based on the catch of several boats some time ago, his fresh-catch boat has to go out and collect one boatload every day. If he can get a little more, he can save a little more trouble.

Because of the typhoon these days, there are not many goods. The factory is also out of stock and is not operating well. Once the typhoon is over, we will have to increase production capacity and the demand will be great.

Ye Yaodong also increased the delivery volume to both factories.

After some boats went out to sea one after another, the dock began to return to its former bustle.

He waited until the sea calmed down, and then asked his father to take the boat out.

Now that they have work to do, the workers no longer sit around playing mahjong or wandering around all day, which reduces the chances of getting into trouble.

I go out to sea before dawn every day and come home at dusk. After selling the goods, I take a shower and eat a meal, and then it is completely dark. There is no way I can play cards or do anything else.

Close your eyes, and it’s another cycle.

Ye Yaodong felt that this was the way to go. He went out early and came back late, and was too tired to go out, and he could save all the money he earned.

At the end of the month, he also settled everyone's salary. It was less than a month later and the salary calculation method was different.

He received a fixed salary in the first half of the month, and a bonus to his salary after leaving the company in the second half of the month. He would settle the salary for that month first so that he could calculate it all together later.

It was just enough to cover their remaining expenses. In the coming months, he planned to save their wages for the New Year and give them another sum of money, just like in previous years, so that they could happily celebrate the New Year when they go back.

Everyone has gotten used to it and has no objections. After all, they are given one month's allowance in advance as expenses, and it's fine since their food and accommodation don't cost any money.

Ye Yaodong also started to get busy. After the fishing boat went out to sea for two days, he also started to drive the fresh fish boat out to collect the catch every day.

This fresh-catch ship is really not enough for him now. It is enough to dock with those ships, but it is not enough to dock with Ocean No. 1.

After Oceangoing Ship No. 1 has stored up cargo for two days, this fresh-water collection ship has to go out and collect it, otherwise the fresh-water collection ship will not be able to bring back so much cargo at once.

So now he has to go out every day to collect a shipload of goods, taking turns on the two routes, leaving early and returning late every day, and he is extremely busy.

Fortunately, he hooked up with several businessmen from the Chamber of Commerce some time ago, and now maintains a certain order volume every day. The identities of vice president and vice president of the Fisheries Association are quite useful.

The two factories also consumed a large part of the goods. When he came back every day, he only had to take turns delivering the goods and sell the rest at the stall. There was basically not much left.

There were also 6 people in the family who took turns to look after the logistics and handle the goods that he brought back.

Ye Yaodong was truly experiencing both pain and happiness during this period. He was busy all day and counted money until his hands cramped at night.

A shipload of goods can be sold for around 13000 to 16000 yuan every day, depending on the volume of the day and price fluctuations.

One day's goods belong to everyone, and one day's goods are his own, which is counted as personal income. In two days, he can usually get 2 yuan, and after deducting the gas expenses, he can get about yuan.

After all, the catch of Ocean No. 1 alone is equivalent to the catch of those six boats, and among those six boats, one belongs to him alone, and he owns 6% to % of the other three.

He took a little here, a little there, a share here, and all there, and he was completely overwhelmed by the wins.

He alone probably accounted for 7% of the total amount of goods, while so many people shared the remaining %.

Really, it feels good to earn money!

He is almost numb from counting money every day and can't sleep well at night.

Every morning when he woke up to go out to sea, he would secretly take the money aboard and lock it in the safe in his own rest cabin. He felt much more at ease only when he didn't leave it at the construction site.

In just over a week, he had sold over 100,000, which was a huge sum of money.

When the Harvest and the others came back to rest, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly settled the accounts with them, and gave them some of the money to keep for themselves.

"I just came back and had a meal, and Dongzi is already asking me to settle the bill. He's too impatient..."

"Haha, we who are receiving the money are not in a hurry, but you who are giving the money are very anxious..."

"Haha, you're in such a hurry, it's like the money is hot..."

Isn’t this a hot potato?

If you can pay it quickly, give it to them and let them keep it for themselves, regardless of whether they prefer to hide it or remit it back.

Everyone was joking like this, but they were also very happy in their hearts. After working so hard for so many days, who wouldn’t want to get the money urgently?

Ye Yaodong's hasty request to reconcile the accounts just hit the spot.

Everyone followed him into the house with great enthusiasm.

The workers outside were actually also very curious and wanted to know how much money they earned, but they were too embarrassed to go in and listen.

There was no room for everyone to stand in the room. The shareholders of the six ships, plus the shareholders’ fathers, totaled more than a dozen or twenty people.

"If I don't share the money with you, I'm afraid you'll be slaughtered as a fat sheep. I've saved a lot over the past few days. Let's divide it up quickly. Each of you can keep it for yourself or remit it back."

"How much did it sell for?"

"Here's the calculator, you guys do the math, I'll count the money first."

There were already several bundles of banknotes on his desk.

The cargo list of each ship was clamped with a piece of paper. He had already calculated the list in his hand, so he just needed to count the money. While counting the money, he asked them to calculate it themselves.

Each of their boats was sold for a minimum of more than 6000 yuan in the past few days, and as much as or yuan. It all depends on one's luck.

Luck is something mysterious.

"Wow, so many..."

"How much is it on your end?"

"I think I'm lucky, I got over 7600, hahaha..."

"Hahaha, it's only been a few days and everyone has sold thousands of them."

"This is too much! Hahaha, luckily I listened to Dongzi two years ago and ordered two boats. Only this year can I sail out and make money, and I can earn so much."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone was delighted when they received their payment. They asked each other how much they had and compared their payments.

Although luck can be good or bad, and income can be high or low, it is only relative. Everyone is very happy and contented to be able to sell so much. At most, they envy others who sell more than themselves.

"It makes me want to stay at sea forever and never come back."

"The wind is blowing and the waves are high. I can't stay here even if I want to."

"That's enough. I'm just back to rest. I'll go again in a few days."

Ye Yaodong took out five bundles of money, and now only a few thousand yuan was left.

Among the six docking ships, one was his Dongsheng, so the money from the Dongsheng naturally belonged to him, and he only needed to divide it into five ships.

"Have you counted them? If you have, take them and go back to hide them."

"Although everyone here is our own people and the workers you hired are all our brothers and nephews, you still have to be on guard and send money back if necessary. Don't be reluctant to spend the handling fee."

He reminded with a smile.

Everyone nodded in agreement and said that they would transfer the money back tomorrow while they had a rest day.

"Then I will send all the money back, leaving only the gas money."

Ye Yaodong said: "You don't have to keep the gas money. I'll be the one delivering the gas anyway, so I can just deduct it from the payment for the goods."

This way he can also spend some cash.

"That's true."

"I've been at sea for so many days. I have to go out and make a phone call tomorrow to let them know I'm safe..."

"We've settled the bill, so let's go out first. It's very stuffy in this room, and I'm sweating all over after just standing there for a while..."

After Ye Yaodong waited for them to go out, he closed the door again and locked up the remaining money.

There are about 8,000 or 9,000 here now, and he has hundreds of thousands locked up on the ship...

This was all earned in the past half month. His father is still at sea and has not returned yet.

Now that their ships have returned, his 44-meter-long ship can still hold some weight on the sea, so he doesn't need to come back and can continue to make money.

"Ah... having too much money and nowhere to put it is also a problem..."

There was nothing here except the straw, mats and quilts on the ground. There was no place to hide. He thought it would be safer on the boat.

But he couldn't hide them all in one place, so he planned to move a few bags of dried fish in later and hide them everywhere.

There is no way to remit so much money back.

We are in different provinces and regions, without any internet connection, and banks are not interconnected.

Even if he dared to remit the money, the post office in his small town would not be able to withdraw that much money.

Even if there was really so much money to withdraw, he would not feel comfortable letting Aqing, a woman, go to withdraw it.

When will you be connected to the internet?

He finally understood why he had heard in his previous life that a boss in Vancouver used a tractor to pull a cart of money around to do business, but he didn't know whether it was true or not.

Everyone's ship returned, and Ye Yaodong didn't have to go out to collect the goods the next day. He just had to go to collect the goods on his father's ship the next day.

Now he finally had some time to rest, otherwise he wouldn't have had a chance to catch his breath for the past half month, running back and forth on the sea.

As he had some free time, he went to the Chamber of Commerce today and called home, but he didn't send any money.

After dividing the money last night, several people went to remit money back today.

There is no way the small post office in town could withdraw so much money.

My family hasn't received a call from him for half a month and they are a little worried.

The old lady scolded him for the first time and even cried a few times. Fortunately, Lin Xiuqing took over the call directly, otherwise he would have scolded her too.

"What are you thinking about? I'm so busy, how can I have time to make a phone call?"

Lin Xiuqing said, "That's what I said. There are several more ships this year, so it's normal for you to be busy. You don't have time to call all the time. But the time interval this time is too long. I thought you could call at least once a week, but this time it took half a month."

"There are many ships and lots of goods. The freshwater ships go back and forth every day to transport goods. They are very busy. I plan to arrange literate workers to cooperate with my cousins ​​to receive the goods. I will stay on the shore and wait for the ships to come back to pick up the goods, deliver them to various places, and collect the payment."

"Have you trained people? Have you taught them? Then it's fine if you can let others do it. Anyway, you can arrange the shipment of goods and collect the payment yourself."

"Yes, for the past half month, I have been letting the workers do it. I just drive the boat and watch them weigh and record. Seeing that they are familiar with the work, I plan to hand it over to them in two days. I will not go out to sea with them. I am busy enough on the shore."

"That's okay too."

Ye Yaodong spoke to Lin Xiuqing on the phone in their local dialect, which no one could understand, so he just spoke boldly.

"Do you know how much I have earned in the past half month?"

"How many?"

"Just over 10, a little more. Dad is still at sea. I have to sail out again tomorrow. There's still half a month left..."

He deliberately added a few extra words to confuse people and make them wonder what he was talking about.

Who knows if anyone among those playing cards was listening to him talking on the phone?

Lin Xiuqing on the other end of the phone was speechless and stunned!
"How many!"

"From what you just heard, there is no doubt about it. Just the 44-meter boat is worth buying. It is worth buying five or six other boats. It is awesome. Our boat was at sea for 11 days and we just got back yesterday. The boat that my father drove is still fishing at sea and doesn't need to come back either."

"Oh my God... If you earn so much in half a month, how much do you earn in a month?"

She was so surprised that her heart was trembling. She never dared to imagine that she could earn so much.

"12!"

"12? How...how come it's 12? Oh, you mean 12? That's not right. It's already 10 in just half a month."

"What time do I leave home?"

"The 13th. I left home on the 13th of last month. Oh, yes, it's been almost exactly one month today. That's about 12 a month."

She suddenly realized that she had only counted the excess and had not included the first half of the month.

She laughed and said, "I was shocked. I really thought I could earn 20 yuan a month. Now it's considered normal."

"Normal? 12 in a month, you tell me that's normal?"

"That's not what I thought before. If it's really 20, it's too exaggerated."

"It's not certain anyway. There was a typhoon last month, so we didn't go for a few days. It also depends on the luck of their fishing boats. The wind and waves have been strong these two days, but it's not bad. We've been out for nearly half a month. The big boats can handle it, but Dad hasn't come back yet."

"Then it's at least hundreds of thousands this month."

"definitely."

"Oh my god, what would happen if you stayed a few more months?"

"That depends on the weather. Now there are typhoons from time to time. When the temperature drops, the winds here will be very cold in winter, and they can even reach level 5 or 6."

"It's cost-effective to be able to go for half a month. It's almost the same if you can go for half a month at home for a month."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "By around New Year's Day, I can have a few more boats."

“Then you can earn more, right?”

"necessary."

"Then don't come back! Just go out and make money!" Lin Xiuqing was so happy that she was stunned!
The old lady got furious when she heard this and jumped up. "What do you mean don't come back? Why did you tell him not to come back? He finally called me and you told him not to come back?"

"Dongzi, don't listen to Ah Qing. You are obsessed with money. How can you not go home just to make money? We have already agreed to come back for the Double Ninth Festival next month."

"There is an extra June this year, so the Double Ninth Festival is scheduled to the end of October. In previous years, it was after National Day."

Lin Xiuqing said: "I was just joking, but you are still excited."

Ye Yaodong said, "Damn, as long as we pay the money, it's okay if the person doesn't have to go back, right?"

"Haha, I'm just kidding. How could that be possible? My family needs you everywhere."

The old lady grabbed the phone again and asked, "Dongzi, when will you be back?"

"The Double Ninth Festival on September 10th is October 31st, right? Then I will come back three days earlier. You should count the days carefully."

There is exactly one and a half months left. By then I can take the money I have saved back home and come back empty-handed to continue earning money, so I won’t have too much money on me.

Wait until November and then come back up and stay until February, which is exactly another 11 months.

The old lady gave another earnest admonition, "Then you must call us more often when you are free, so that we can all feel at ease."

"Got it, give the phone to Qing."

She reluctantly handed the phone to Aqing.

Ah Qing gave him a few concerned words of advice, and he responded perfunctorily, changing the subject and saying, "I plan to build another row of houses at the construction site."

"We need to build more? Don't we already have 30?"

"It's not enough. There are more than a dozen people in one room. They all lie side by side and can't turn around. I plan to add another row of buildings."

"How many tens of thousands will that cost?"

"About 3 or yuan. The fence has already been built, so there is no need to spend that part of the money. The cost of building the house should be within yuan, so that everyone can live in a more spacious place."

"No, then when you come back in a few months, won't the house be empty?"

"That's not necessarily true. They all tasted the sweetness last year and tasted it again this year. Some of them may plan to come back again after they go back to celebrate the New Year."

He knew that some people made money last year and after returning, they teamed up to order ships of more than 20 meters in length. They should be able to get them by the beginning of next year.

Who wouldn’t want to make money? At most, you can go home for a few months.

We are now in the season for hairtail and dried shrimp, which will last until February or March, and then in spring we will have the spring season for small yellow croaker.

There is another squid season in May, and in summer there are also pomfret season, herring season, and yellow croaker season.

There used to be yellow croaker seasons, but the resources have been depleted due to overfishing.

The autumn season is the season for jellyfish, which float scattered from south to north throughout the Zhoushi fishing grounds. They are not only found in Vancouver, but also here, but there are not so many now.

There are also swimming crab and eel seasons in winter, but swimming crabs are not valuable now, but eels are also valuable.

All four seasons of the year are the peak season for all kinds of fish.

All year round, a large number of fishing boats follow different schools of fish and fish in the vast ocean, like "Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers."

Last year, after everyone made money, they returned home during the Chinese New Year and did not go out again. They just fished there. At that time, many people complained that the resources were not as abundant as here, and there was fishing season all year round.

They all thought about booking a bigger boat so that they could come and go freely and with greater safety, and they could also earn more like him.

Everyone is talking about him. He has so many ships, but he keeps buying bigger and bigger ships. He is making more and more money, and his life is getting more and more prosperous. It would be right to follow his example.

So he thought, since 30 rooms are not enough to live in, he might as well build another row. He has plenty of money now and other people are here. If there are enough people, it can be done in three months.

Once he gets all five ships from the shipyard, he will definitely have to go home and hire dozens of people to come up.

Four Dongsheng boats of the same model would require 4 people, and a 24-meter seafood collection boat would require 40 people.

We already live very crowded now, and if we want to accommodate more people we will definitely have to build more houses.

Ye Yaodong also told Lin Xiuqing this, and Lin Xiuqing had no objection.
