Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1401 Good Idea (Supplement)
If his wife hadn't been in charge of the finances at home, he wouldn't have dared to spend all his money. After all, misfortunes may come and go, so he had to leave himself a way out. Therefore, he could only spend as he earned.

So he makes money quickly and spends it just as quickly.

While leaving yourself a way out, you should also gradually increase your assets instead of just having a pile of depreciating cash, or going all in. You should also give your family a sense of security.

Money is security.

Ye Yaohua hesitated, looked at his father, and then looked at Ye Yaodong.

"Then Dongzi, when I go to the shipyard with you tomorrow to sail, I'll take a look and then order another boat? Just like our Shunfeng?"

"That's good. The current Shunfeng is still a partnership between the three of us brothers, and we gave Dad a share for his retirement. You and your eldest brother don't have your own fishing boat yet."

After hearing what he said, Ye Yaohua became more determined.

Indeed, he doesn't even have a fishing boat of his own. The boat is run as a partnership between three brothers, and each of them only gets 1/3 of the profits plus a salary.

The profit from a single ship cannot be as high as that from a single ship.

Before, I always played it safe, and my wife at home also said that it was enough as long as we already had a boat, so I had to save money, save more.

You still have to listen to Dongzi.

Ye Yaopeng pulled Ye Yaohua and said, "Second brother, why don't you call home and discuss this with your wife first?"

Father Ye said, "If you listen to your wives at home in everything, you won't be able to do anything. What do they know at home? Isn't it better for the three of you brothers to discuss and decide?"

"I thought buying a boat was a big deal, and my wife manages the money at home..."

"Then isn't the money you've earned in the past few months in your own hands? You can decide for yourself. Don't ask your wife about everything. How can they know what's going on outside when they're at home?"

Ye Yaodong felt that his father had changed.

When he acted first and reported later, his father was the one who scolded him, and he scolded him quite harshly, calling him a prodigal son who could not keep any money and wanted to buy this and that as soon as he had a little money.

It’s different now. He even instigated his elder and second brothers to act first and report later and not listen to their wives.

You are really good at adapting to changing circumstances.

“Then I just bought it?”

"Buy it. You must have saved a lot of money by following Dongzi fishing in the past few years..."

"Alas, that boat costs tens of thousands, Dad. How can I save enough to buy it? The boat I have doesn't belong to me alone."

"Are you still worried about not having the deposit?"

"I'll see tomorrow."

Father Ye also looked at Ye Yaopeng, "Boss, you can also consider it."

"Good dad."

Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao laughed and said, "Fortunately, we took out a loan at the beginning of the year and booked the boat. If we were not out of town now, we would be able to bring the boat back now."

"Yes, bring the boat back and drive it up directly after the New Year to make money."

Father Ye added: "Look how decisive they are. They even took out a loan to buy a boat."

Ye Yaodong helped and said, "Dad, how can my elder brother and second brother compare with them? My elder brother and second brother are both honest, and they even thought about not paying back the bank's money."

"Don't talk nonsense, how could we not pay the bank back?"

"That's right, wouldn't that make us deadbeats? Are we that kind of people?"

"When we become rich, we will definitely pay it back directly."

"When we make a big splash next year and earn a lot of money, we will naturally pay the bank back."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. Who was thinking about running away before? The bank couldn’t find them and there was nothing they could do.

They were talking animatedly here, and the other workers were listening to their conversation with their ears perked up. They also gathered in twos and threes to talk about Ye Yaodong's plan to order two more super large ships.

This seemed to give them a boost, making everyone else excited to buy a boat as well.

Everyone started discussing it.

"Dongzi, when are you going to book a boat?" A Guang asked.

"I will bring the five boats back tomorrow, and then go to the factory to discuss the details of the new boats with Director Shen. We can only make a decision after we have reached an agreement. Such a large boat is so expensive, and the details need to be agreed upon, and the design drawings need to be obtained. It will not be decided so quickly. This is not a free lunch."

"That's right. We need to think it over carefully and make sure of it."

"Well, it would be good if it could be settled before the New Year."

Fortunately, he has now handed over the work of driving the boat to other people, and he only needs to receive the goods on the shore, so he has plenty of time to run back and forth.

"Take a break. We have been checking the accounts for the whole morning."

"What time do you leave for the boat tomorrow?"

"Go early, at 6 o'clock."

He didn't have an almanac, so he couldn't see the specific day and time. He could only take a quick look at the calendar, so he didn't pay attention to the time and came according to his own time.

When we sail back home, we'll pick a good day to set off firecrackers on the boat.

Ah Guang asked, "Dongzi, now that you have brought all five boats back, will you leave them at the dock?"

Ah Zheng added, "There is still a month before I can go home..."

Xiao Xiao also said: "Isn't it a bit wasteful?"

"What do you want to say?"

The three of them looked at each other for a while, and then Ah Guang said, "I was thinking, should we go home? You find someone to work as a boatman for you, and we go home to drive the loaned boat aboard? Let's go back together?"

Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and said, "How about you go home and drive the loaned boat up, and find some workers for me?"

"Fuck, we asked you to come with us, but you wanted us to help you."

"Isn't this a simple thing for you? If you want to sail your three boats up here, you'll have to hire workers, and then hire dozens of them for me... No need, I'll call my mother to find workers for me, and when you come up here, just help me bring the workers up!"

As he said this, Ye Yaodong clapped his hands. He was so smart, what a great idea!
"That's it, it's good!"

Why hadn't he thought of such a good idea before?

Anyway, their boat has been built, so why not help him bring the workers up when he goes home to sail the boat?
It also saves him from having his five boats docked at the pier, which is such a waste. There is still a month left, and he can earn a lot if he works hard.

There is no need for him to go back and run around, just let them go!

"This is ridiculous..."

"It's not that I don't want to go back with you, I can't leave. I have to do all the selling and delivery of goods here, and you can leave your fishing boat to your father or brother. It doesn't matter whether you are here or not."

"Then can't you ask your father to go back and bring you workers?"

"Isn't this more convenient for you? If it's so convenient for you, why do you want my dad to go back? It's just more trouble?" Ye Yaodong said as a matter of course.

"You fucking..."

Ye Yaodong patted their shoulders happily, "Then I'll leave this to you. You've finally solved a big problem for me! I was originally wondering what to do with the five boats. It would be a bit of a waste to just dock them at the pier, haha."

"No, absolutely not."

"Bring it, bring it. It's just a matter of convenience. I'll treat you to a drink when I bring it up."

"You took your dad to get a massage, and you only treated us to drinks?"

Father Ye's eyes bulged out and he stood up immediately. "Nonsense, no way, I didn't go there."

"Hahaha, we understand uncle and won't tell anyone."

"Who told you this nonsense? When did I go? You are wrongly accusing me. I just followed Dongzi to see him record the goods. Which bastard spread rumors? Find out and skin him alive..."

Everyone laughed after hearing this, and tacitly agreed not to mention it again.

Ye Yaodong said, "You want to go for a massage, isn't that easy? Arrange it. Then when are you going to go back and sail?"

Xiao Xiao: "I just came back yesterday. I'll take a rest today and discuss it with my dad and brother later..."

Ah Zheng: "Probably just these two days."

A Guang: "After this storm passes and the fishing boats go out to sea again, we will take the ferry first, then take a car, then a train, and then a car."

It turned out that they had already discussed it. It made sense that since they ordered the ship together, they should be able to complete the process at about the same time and deliver it together.

It’s just too much trouble to go back and take the bus. I don’t know how many times I have to change places.

Ye Yaodong added: "Have you asked about the cargo ships? Are there any ships going to our province? If there are, it would be more convenient. Otherwise, I don't know how many trips you would have to take."

A Guang: "I haven't asked yet. We have been at sea for a while. We just discussed it yesterday. The cargo ship should not be so lucky. It's good to have one or two ships a month."

Ye Yaodong: "Let's ask. It would be more convenient to take a cargo ship. I'll call back later and ask my mother to call someone in advance in the next two days. When you return, you can just bring it up directly."

Ah Zheng: "You really don't want to go back with us?"

Ye Yaodong: "I really can't leave."

Xiao Xiao: "Pull it down."

A Guang: "Then we will go back by ourselves. You can call someone in advance and they will bring it up to you."

"Okay, I will tell my mother to call him a good person, not a bad person."

“Oh, fuck…”

They were chatting and joking there, talking about finding workers. Ye's father had already moved aside, thinking that no one would know that he was going for a massage, so he followed Dongzi.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was Dongzi who did the wrong thing. This brat must have been there often before!

So he followed Dongzi around everywhere this month, and everyone thought he went with him too!

Disaster.

Ye Yaodong had agreed with them that they had already had lunch, so he decided to wait until after lunch before going to the Chamber of Commerce to make the call.

Most of the strong laborers in the village have already gone out on the boat. If he wants to find more people, he has to go to the nearby villages to find someone reliable and not seasick. He has to ask his mother about it.

This matter is not so quick or convenient. After all, if he wants to add another five boats, he will have to recruit thirty more people, and it will take some time.

When his mother heard that his five boats would be back tomorrow, she was overjoyed and promised that she would go and ask for him in the next two days.

"Why aren't you coming back? Everyone else can come back, why can't you?"

"Others are not as busy as I am. I have so many ships, shouldn't I be very busy? Just help me find good people. I will tell you in advance when Guang and the others return."

"If you don't come back, your father won't come back either?"

"My father will help me. If we don't go back by boat, it will be too much trouble. We won't go back. If they want to come back by boat, we can wait until February to go back. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, which is about a month."

"Okay, you get five more boats now. How much more money are you going to earn this month?" Mother Ye said as she smiled happily.

She just asked casually, not expecting him to answer, just happy, and then said

"When you come back next month, you must bring your boat to the village. You cannot stop at the town's safe harbor. At least you should come back to the village waters for a spin first..."

"Got it. What's there to talk about? Give the phone to Qing."

Lin Xiuqing was most concerned about his boat booking, so she asked about it. Ye Yaodong gave the same answer, saying it wouldn't happen so soon, that they needed to discuss the details and draw the blueprints, and that it might not be possible until he returned.

"Why don't you go home and order it?"

"We don't have the technology at home, but here we have all-steel ones, and the most famous shipyard."

Besides, he doesn't have so much time to run back and forth to discuss the details of the drawings. It's the New Year, so he must be taking a break.

After the New Year and they have had enough rest, all of them will come up one by one, so he has to come up too. He can't just watch others make money.

His freshwater ship has to rely on their ships to receive the goods in order to make a lot of money.

Anyway, now he is helping his father get familiar with both the customers and the factory, and then he can hand the job over to his father, with father and son taking turns.

After a few years, it may not be so easy to get the cash for the goods. I guess we have to get the money based on the documents, which is a disguised form of withholding the payment for the goods.

It is only in recent years that cash is king, and the principle of paying money before receiving goods is adhered to.

After Ye Yaodong finished his call, he handed the phone to his father, thinking that his father would also have something to say.

Father Ye kept shaking his head and put his index finger to his lips.

He was a little puzzled. The call was already connected, so why didn't he say a few words to his mother?

However, seeing the way he answered the phone, since he didn't intend to answer it, I didn't mention that he was next to me. I just said "nothing" as usual and hung up.

After hanging up the phone, he asked his father, "What are you doing? The phone is connected, and my mother is here. I was kind enough to tell you about the phone call, but you won't tell me?"

"It's fine if you said it. I won't say anything. There's nothing to say. What if she hears about it? She'll scold me over the phone. How boring. She has such a loud voice. It would be bad if someone heard it."

"What happened to her?"

"It's because you go for massages so often. Guang and the others have guessed it. Those workers probably know the truth..."

"Damn, so that's what you're worried about. What's there to worry about? Those people went even further. Don't worry, they won't tell anyone. No one knows what can and cannot be said."

"Really can't tell?"

"You didn't go, and I didn't go, so what are they talking about?"

Father Ye nodded, "I didn't go, and you didn't go either, hehe."

"Let's go out for a walk, buy some things, and get ready. We're going to sail early tomorrow morning."

"Hey, hey, hey...you two are leaving now?"

Father Ye said proudly, "Tomorrow Dongzi will have five more large ships delivering goods. We have to go out and buy some preparations."

"What? Five more big ships?"

"Fuck, how many boats do you have?"

"About 20 or 30. You guys work hard to ship the goods. I'll have a lot more in a while."

"You're really good at making money, aren't you?"

"I'll buy you some fireworks later..."
