Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1378 Plan
He had no money on hand, and as soon as he entered the house, he felt a little empty inside.

In the afternoon, he played cards at the Chamber of Commerce, attended a meeting, had a meal, and had a massage. Everyone was chatting and laughing, so he had no time to think about anything else.

Now when I get home, I can't help but take out my passbook and take a look at it.

Ever since he had a large sum of money in hand, his heart has been tense and he has been very cautious when going in and out. Suddenly, the tension was relaxed, but he did not feel relaxed.

All the money was gone, and only a passbook was left, with only a string of numbers and several zeros.

“It’s just a number now? Hey…”

"Fortunately, I will have money again tomorrow..."

Thinking of this, he became happy again. He pressed the passbook under the pillow and went out to fetch water for a bath.

"Brother Dong, do you want to take a shower?"

"Why are you washing? You smell so good, why are you washing?"

"Hahaha……"

Ye Yaodong gestured with the basin in his hand, as if he was going to throw it at them.

"Don't make wild guesses, my friend just asked me to go for a massage."

"Understood~"

"They said that if you can't remain chaste, you have to keep your mouth shut, otherwise you have to help each other, hahahaha..."

"Hahaha……"

"This word set is so complicated, haha, where did you learn it..."

"What nonsense! That's your fault. Don't involve me."

Ye Yaodong ignored their fussing and simply took a shower, stomped on his clothes a few times, hung them up to dry, and went back to the house.

As soon as he lay down, he took out the passbook and looked at it again. He felt happy every time he looked at it for a few more times.

When he went to bed, he also put the passbook next to his pillow.

It was not until he woke up the next day that he stuffed the passbook into the mattress and locked the doors and windows before going out.

The workers were going out to sea to collect the goods. Although he did not plan to go out to sea, he followed them to the dock and watched them drive the fresh-collecting boat out. Then he returned to the construction site to supervise the workers building the houses.

It was not until after lunch that he rode his bicycle to the Chamber of Commerce under the scorching sun.

He now arranges his time very well. In the morning he supervises the construction of the house. In the afternoon he goes to the Chamber of Commerce to kill time, build relationships, and conduct business. Then in the evening he goes to the dock to collect goods, and at night he delivers goods and collects payments.

All right.

However, in the afternoon, when he was playing cards, a soldier suddenly stood at the door and shouted to the people in the room, saying that he had come to deliver a letter.

Everyone looked up. Ye Yaodong turned around and saw that it was someone wearing a navy uniform. He immediately stood up.

"Is it a letter from Lin Guangyuan?"

"Yes, yes, yes. They said to send it here to Ye Yaodong."

He quickly stepped forward, smiled and thanked the soldier continuously, and quickly invited him in.

"Old Zhang, I asked him to come in and sit for a while and have a drink of water. It's too hot outside. I wanted to write him a reply. It just so happened that I was here and he caught up with me."

"Okay, then let him sit down and rest for a while."

Ye Yaodong quickly filled a bottle of water and handed it to the soldier, and also handed him the unopened box of cigarettes in his pocket.

When he came here, he must have had two boxes of good cigarettes in his pocket. He opened one box today, and there is still one box left, which is just right.

"Please wait for me, comrade Navy. I will write a reply right away and bring it back to you."

"Then you have to hurry. I came here to do some work, and then Lin Guangyuan asked me to deliver a letter. I didn't expect that a kid from Fujian Province like him would have relatives here?"

"Haha, I'm his uncle."

After saying this, Ye Yaodong went to borrow paper and pen, and then wrote a reply immediately after reading the letter.

Since there was no envelope, he used Lin Guangyuan's envelope, stuffed 50 yuan into it, and then glued the seal shut.

Then send the person away politely.

He wrote down the address of his house and asked Lin Guangyuan to send the next letter to him there. If he had the chance to come out, he could also go there to find him.

And he also said that he would be there until the New Year.

I didn't expect that after I called Aqing last month, he immediately sent me a letter this month. It was quite timely.

"Boss Ye, do you have any relatives serving in the army here?"

"What position? Being a soldier is pretty good these days."

"Yeah, the navy has been really powerful in recent years, smuggling..."

Everyone has started discussing it, and the more they talk, the more envious they become.

Ye Yaodong only said that he was his wife's nephew, a new recruit who had just joined the army last year. He did not expect to be assigned here.

Everyone turned the topic to the benefits of being a soldier and the future prospects.

He thought about it and realized that there was a phone here that he could use, so he called his father-in-law to ask about the situation in the city. He also told them that Lin Guangyuan had also sent a letter over.

Father Lin was very happy. "You got in touch? That's good. It's worrying that the child is away from home. We feel much more relieved if we can get in touch with you."

"Well, I wrote him a reply with the address of my house here. If he is free, he can come to see me anytime."

"It's probably difficult. He's just a new recruit. How can it be easy for him to ask for leave unless there's an emergency?"

"We'll see when the time comes. If he can't get out now, he can get out in two years. Anyway, my house is under construction, so it won't be gone. After he knows the address, he can find it later."

"Okay, okay, you, my uncle, have helped him a lot, and have also helped our family a lot. Without you, we would still be digging for food in the fields..."

"Why are you saying that? We are all family, and you have been helping me all the time. Without you, I wouldn't have such a good person to help run the store. Outsiders are not as trustworthy as our own people."

"Haha, don't worry, I can still work and take care of the store for you. I can speak Mandarin to everyone now."

Ye Yaodong also laughed, it was still awkward, but he could speak openly without being afraid of being laughed at.

He looked at the sun setting, said a few simple words and hung up.

"It's time to eat, brothers."

"The sun hasn't even set yet, what's the point of eating?" Jin Lai Xi responded.

"Then eat your ass. I'm going home to eat."

"Why are you in such a hurry? After we play cards, let's have dinner together tonight. Let's go for a massage together later. I was busy delivering goods yesterday and I didn't have time. You all went for massages one by one and I didn't even make it..."

"Then you guys continue with your massage. I'll be busy later. I have to go to the dock to pick up the goods after dinner, and then I'll deliver the goods to you. I'll be busy until midnight."

"That's it. Go ahead then. Our delivery can come later. Let's go for a massage first..."

Ye Yaodong agreed.

He gets rich through hard work, he deserves it!

It is not difficult to make money these days, but the difficult part is whether you can keep your wealth after you get rich.

He returned home under the afterglow of the setting sun, his face red from the sun. Only then did he begin to worry whether they could return with the goods safely.

There were this and that thing during the day, and he only thought about it occasionally. Now that he is back, everyone is discussing receiving the goods later, and he can't help but worry.

He had always followed them before and there was nothing wrong, but today they went out alone.

After dinner, he went to the dock and stood there waiting, watching the fishing boats come into the port one by one, but he didn't see his boat. He became a little restless.

The workers were originally very calm, but when they saw him walking back and forth and looking anxiously into the distance, they couldn't help but become worried.

"Brother Dong, is everything ok? The sun has just set and the sky is still bright. It's normal that you haven't come back yet."

Ye Yaodong nodded. "Well, weighing the goods is very slow. We have to wait for the fishing boats to pull up the nets before we can get close. With so much cargo, we basically have to wait until dark before we get back. This is still early. Most of the time, we don't get back until dark."

"Yeah, it's still early, we can go to the fish market next door and check out today's prices."

"I heard that the fish market near the pier is just a temporary enclosure, and I heard that the fish market street inside seems to be building a huge trading market..."

"I've heard about that, too. I heard that a port is also being built at the pier, specifically for cargo ships to dock and transport seafood..."

The workers listened to the discussion of the people next to them and started to talk too, and Ye Yaodong's attention was diverted.

If it is built, he will have to buy a few shops there next year.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, he saw a group of people in navy blue navy uniforms trotting towards him, and he immediately perked up.

It was also mentioned in the letter that Lin Guangyuan sent in the afternoon that a port is being built at the dock, and they are pulled out for training every now and then and will be brought over to help.

"The soldiers are here..."

The crowd moved aside to let the soldiers pass.

Ye Yaodong also squeezed to the side of the road to watch, but he saw that every black crew cut was very evenly black, and they all looked like the same face...

But others looked at him differently. He stood out from the crowd and was particularly conspicuous among a group of fishermen.

It was not until Lin Guangyuan squeezed through the scattered crowd and greeted him that he saw people.

"Fuck, it's so dark here, everything is so dark, I can't even find it."

"Uncle-in-law, you're finally here again! Did you receive the letter I sent this afternoon? I asked my comrades to deliver it to the Chamber of Commerce..."

"I got it. I wrote you a reply with my new address and put 50 yuan in the letter."

"Haha, that's great, I'm rich again. Where's your new address? I've been out all afternoon and haven't returned yet. I haven't seen the letter yet."

Ye Yaodong had already reached into his pocket, ready to give him the money, but as soon as he touched his palm, he put it back.

He only put a few dozen dollars in the envelope when he came out. He would also need transportation fees to deliver the goods later, so he could just put the money in the envelope in the afternoon.

"The new address is written inside the letter. Remember to check the money inside and make sure it's not lost."

"It won't be lost. For example, I got all the money you stuffed into the envelope last year. I even treated the comrade who delivered the letter to instant noodles."

"Please have some instant noodles..."

"No more talking. I have to return to the team quickly, otherwise I will be discovered. We have to go back to the base. I'm glad you received the letter."

Lin Guangyuan was retreating as he spoke, looking at the team that was walking slowly in front of him.

"Hey, I haven't even asked you if you're tired..."

He trotted and replied, "It's not hard..."

Ye Yaodong watched the person go away and said only two words in a hurry, which delayed him for two minutes.

"Brother Dong, is this your nephew who is a soldier?"

"Ah."

"It's quite promising..."

"It's hard to say whether there is a future or not, but it is glorious."

"That's right. If a family has a soldier, the whole family will stand up straight if they tell others about it."

"The ship is back..."

Ye Yaodong quickly looked towards the sea, and saw that his seafood boat was indeed in the fishing ground entering the port.

His boat looks different from others. It has the words "Dongsheng Fresh Food Collecting Boat" written on it. Not only is it written on the hull, but there are also two big words "Dongsheng" on the cabin on the second floor.

It looks a little blurry from a distance, but you can still make out the outline of the font.

"It's good that we're back. We'll be docking soon. Let's go to the docking point."

"Ok."

Everyone followed him and moved to their stop.

A full shipload of goods was shipped back and the deck was piled full. Ye Yaodong was very satisfied.

"Thank you for your hard work. I was still worried that we hadn't reached the shore for a long time."

"Haha, it's not dark yet. Isn't it usually around this time? Sometimes even later." The cousin said with a smile beside him.

The other workers were moving goods out of the fish warehouse.

"I was a little worried because you didn't go out with me the first time. I'm glad you're okay. I'll think about it later and give you a raise."

"That's great. Here are the cargo manifests for several ships. They are all listed."

Ye Yaodong looked through it and found that the weight of the goods on each order was recorded, except for the unit price, which was waiting for him to fill in.

After he looked at the total amount on each bill and had an idea in his mind, he put the bill into his account book.

"Weigh out the goods I need one by one first, and I'll go rent a car."

"it is good."

He asked his cousin to weigh the goods according to the quantity of each type needed by each person on the list, and he went to arrange a vehicle.

It's not the first day, everyone is used to it.

He breathed a sigh of relief only after he successfully delivered all the goods for the day and put the payment back into his pocket.

The work was completed successfully and I don’t have to worry anymore in the future.

After work, he returned home and called his cousin to his room to talk, asking him to fulfill his promise to increase the salary.

"If I wasn't on the freshwater ship, you would be the boss. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to keep your previous salary. You still have to worry about this ship."

"Hehe...we are all brothers..."

"I'm relieved because we're my brothers, but I can't let you suffer any loss. The workers who come here now get 135 yuan a month, and I'll give you 300 yuan a month."

This is just a fresh fish collecting boat out to collect goods, and the boats that connect with it are all their own fishing boats. They return on the same day after collecting the goods, so it is not difficult at all.

It's nothing compared to the captain, who controls the fishing boat operations at sea for a long time and stays out for at least a week.

Not to mention Ocean No. 1, when his father goes out, unless there are special circumstances, it usually takes more than 20 days.

Therefore, the risk is small and what you get is naturally relatively less.

But it is more than twice the number of workers.

"300! That's a lot!"

"It's as you should be. If you work hard, you will definitely not suffer any loss. We will increase your income in the future. By then, we will buy insurance and pension for you. After you work for 20 years and retire, you will still receive a large salary every month."

My cousin's mouth widened, a little unsure, "Really?!"

"Of course, I keep my word, but your salary must be kept confidential and no one can tell it. Although the more you work, the more you get paid, it is reasonable for different positions to get different salaries. However, the workers will feel emotional when they think about how much you earn."

"I can't say it's good, I can't say it's the best, otherwise I'm afraid I'll spend too much money and won't be able to explain myself when I get home."

"Hahaha, I'm just worried that my sister-in-law will settle the score with you."

The cousin rubbed his hands together and laughed, "Women are petty, they count every penny very carefully, what's wrong with spending a little money when you go out?"

"Well, the salary is confidential anyway. You can tell your cousin's wife how much you want when you get home. I won't tell you."

"Okay, then how much do I get per year? 3000... 3600?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Oh my god, so many! If I work for three years, won't I be a millionaire?"

My cousin was very surprised.

"Correct."

"Fuck... 3000 plus a year is equivalent to what I earned in 10 years before."

"Haha, there will be more in the future. Go and have a rest. You have worked hard all day."

"Ok."

My cousin's mouth was crooked from smiling, and he walked unsteadily. It took him several attempts to open the door before he succeeded.

Ye Yaodong also smiled. They were both very content.

Fortunately, his mother has many brothers and sisters, and each of them has many children, so naturally he has many cousins ​​as well.

My brothers all have boats, but I can only take care of my own boat, which is of no use.

His nephews had work to do, and his family was reluctant to let them go out to sea, and his son was still young.

Fortunately, there are a lot of cousins, and each cousin has a lot of sons who can be of use.

If he really wanted to count, he himself wouldn't know how many cousins ​​he had, and would have to ask his mother to count.

People who were unfamiliar to us in the previous life, now come together in this life and become familiar to us.

No matter how familiar or not they are at home, or how united they are, when they are away from home, their hearts are definitely more united than others. The people in their village are also more united than others, and their old nests are next to each other.

After Ye Yaodong closed the door, he poured out all the money he had earned from the evening's sales, put it in order, and counted it.

He is finally rich again!
My bankroll just returned to zero yesterday, and now I have money again tonight. I feel comfortable. Now I feel safe again, but also feel a sense of crisis.

Since last month, the cargo has been gradually increasing. This month, the number of hairtail is even greater. Their fishing boats have started to focus on hairtail since this month.

Today's whole shipload of cargo was sold for 16000. Normally, only the Ocean No. 1 can sell that much.

Ye Yaodong felt very happy after counting the money. After collecting the goods from his Ocean Shipping No. 1 ship tomorrow, he should have another 2 yuan in his account.

Now he had more than 3 yuan. If he distributed some of it, he would have nearly 3 yuan.

After accumulating for a few more days, he will consider going to Fish Market Street to buy an old house!

The construction of aquatic product trading centers has begun, which means that prosperity is not far away.

Last year, I was worried that my family was not here, and I was worried that I would not be able to keep the house I bought. This year is different.

Their chamber of commerce has had clear access to the government, and now has gathered a group of businessmen from various industries, so he has also accumulated a small network of contacts.

Although it seems to be of little use and can only expand one's network, collect more of his goods, and make some money, but at least there is an organization.

Moreover, he has a lot of power. There are three or four hundred workers around him now. They are familiar with the place. Why would he be afraid of the land being occupied after buying it?
After going back for the New Year, there will definitely be more people coming up after the New Year. He might have to take turns with his father to stay here to receive the goods.

You're a bastard who doesn't make money.

It's naturally different when that person is here, as he can supervise and regulate at all times.

It’s different in the past.

He is different this year than he was last year, and the money he has on hand has to be invested separately.

There are still 5 ships hanging in the shipyard that have not been delivered yet. He does not plan to order more now, as he will have time to order after the ships are delivered.

Of course, the money on hand will be used to buy houses and land. The shops inside will have to wait until next year, and I guess they will be snapped up by then.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that it would be a good idea to deposit the 20 yuan in the bank to balance the risks. No matter how much you invest, you can't avoid savings.

Keep some money there, and when the loan matures, you may be able to borrow more.

The 90s was a period of rapid development.

Thinking of this, a surge of ambition surged in his heart again!
The salted fish has turned over a new leaf!
Fortunately, I have handed over the received goods to the workers, so I have plenty of time staying on the shore. When the day is free, I can take a few friends out to have a look around.

By the way, he also encouraged them to buy houses and land, so that everyone could do it together and share the risks. It also allowed them to remember his kindness so that they would cry and thank him when the time came.

It might even be a lifelong favor.

It is better to encourage them to buy houses and land than to let them spend the money on their lovers and leave no money for their wives and children.

After Ye Yaodong finished thinking, he sorted out the money in his hand and hid it in the mattress. Then he filled in the price on the receipt and calculated the price for everyone.

It was late at night and everyone went to bed early after washing up, planning to go out to sea to collect the goods early tomorrow morning.

Only the light was still on in his room, and he was still using a calculator to calculate accounts.

He became annoyed with the calculations later on, and occasionally made mistakes, which exhausted his patience.

"Damn it, I should hire a little sister to do the math for me. It's exhausting to do the math every day, and I'm also worried about making mistakes."

"Your sister..."

He pressed the calculator several times frantically, scratched his hair, and after a temper tantrum he could only continue calculating obediently.

If we don’t finish today, we’ll have to start over tomorrow, damn it.

He had never been so serious even in his first grade math exam!
And staying up late.

If he had been so enthusiastic in studying, would he have remained illiterate? Would he have become a fisherman?
Sure enough, money can make all the difference.

After Ye Yaodong finished calculating, he looked at the time and it was already one o'clock. He cursed and quickly lay down to sleep, leaving the list to be dealt with tomorrow.

It was early in the morning, and he hadn't even woken up yet, when he heard a lot of chatter outside, everyone was talking about a baby being born.

"Give birth to a few hairs? Give birth to a child?"

He opened the door and went out cursing, wanting to ask them to keep down the noise, then he heard them say that more than a dozen puppies had been born.

"Two dogs gave birth?"

"They gave birth last night. Thirteen of them. They are all different colors."

"I heard you guys talking about having a baby this early in the morning, and I thought one of you was having a baby."

"This dog gave birth to it."

Ye Yaodong repeated jokingly, "A dog's child."

"Why does this sound like cursing, haha..."

"I'll take a nap for a while. Keep your voice down. Those of you who need to go out to sea should go out to collect the goods as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll go after breakfast."

Ye Yaodong lay down again. It was good to have one more litter of dogs. By next spring, they would have a group of good guard dogs.
