Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1403 Plan
Since Ye Yaodong said so, they didn't hesitate and decided to check the weather at night. If there was no problem, they would drive his new seafood boat home early tomorrow morning.

This is much more convenient than taking a bus.

Father Ye kept frowning, but he didn't say anything this time.

Director Shen came over soon. Under the guidance of the old master, Ye Yaodong had already looked at all the boats and listened to their introductions. He was very satisfied.

Just wait for Director Shen to come, then we can push the boat into the water, and then sign the contract and settle the bill after the test.

At the beginning, the drawings were produced and the contract was signed, but he came back and forth several times later and made slight changes to some places. For example, he asked for the fish warehouse to be expanded a little bit.

Now the price difference is compensated quite a lot, more than 3 yuan, which is more than what was signed in the original contract, but it is also quite cost-effective.

At that time, because we acted first and asked for permission later, we built a lot of fishing boats at once, so we thought of limiting the amount and just using the 20 yuan loan from the bank, and try not to exceed too much. So the materials we used were based on the Dongsheng, and they were all iron boats.

Even the 40-meter seafood collection ship is made of iron sheets, which is cheaper in cost. It cannot be compared with the Ocean No. 1, and even the instruments cannot be compared. It is not as sophisticated as the Ocean No. 1 which is made of imported materials, but it is enough for now.

However, he can be bolder when ordering a fishing boat next time. After all, he has a clear path ahead of him and it is all a matter for the future.

After he paid the final payment for the difference, he happily went out and called on the workers to come in and help push the five large boats.

He brought a lot of people with him, so he didn't need help from the factory workers at all. His own workers worked hard and several boats were launched smoothly. Firecrackers were set off to add to the atmosphere.

"That's amazing, that's awesome... Ah Dong now has 5 more big ships..."

"Wow, how impressive! Five boats lined up together with red flags waving."

“We don’t know if we can afford it in this lifetime…”

"That's amazing. How old is Adong this year?"

"30 years old, he is only 30 years old..."

"Suzuki is a piece of shit. Ye Lao San is really lucky. He gave birth to a great son. The eldest and second sons are not bad either..."

Father Ye's face was beaming with joy, and he was happier than if he were wearing a big gold necklace.

Ye Yaodong led a group of people on board and followed the procedure, heading out to the sea.

The other workers could only visit here by themselves and go back after the visit, because his boats could not accommodate all the people.

It was not until after 1 p.m. that his boats with big red flowers tied to them successfully docked at the port.

On the way home, Ye's father told him what he wanted to say in the morning but didn't.

"Dongzi, you just brought back these new boats. You haven't even driven them yourself yet. How can you just let others drive them home?"

"Ah? Do I have to drive all five boats in turn before I can hand them over to others? When we first came back, the remaining ones were all driven back by you, big brother, second brother and Guang. We all helped drive them back together."

"It's okay to help you drive it back together, and it's also normal to help you drive it to the port together, but it's different to drive it home. It's your own new ship, and you haven't even driven it home to show it off. How can you let someone else drive your ship back? It's better for you to lead the way and let others drive the boats behind you."

Father Ye gave a long explanation, and the summary was that he could not let others drive his new boat home, he had to drive his new boat home himself, at least the largest seafood boat had to be driven back by himself.

Ye Yaodong also frowned and thought. What his father said made some sense. After all, it was a new ship that they had just acquired.

"Well, I've already said it before. The other boats aren't big enough to accommodate so many people."

"Well, I'm not at sea now anyway, so it's not very useful for me to follow you. I'll drive your seafood boat and take them back first. They are all young, so how can we let them drive the boat back without worry? It's just right that you can drive the boat back on a good day, so we can set off some firecrackers and bring good luck back home."

"That's fine. I was just thinking that we could just ask them to bring the person up here, so we don't have to go there and cause trouble. But now, we still have to go back."

"It's nothing. I'm idle here anyway, so I'll just take it as a trip home and bring some vegetables up. You have so many workers, and the food you eat every day is terrible. I should be able to harvest a thousand kilograms of radishes and sweet potatoes at home. After a while, the vegetables grown here will be edible too."

"Ok."

Ye Yaodong was thinking whether he should build a cafeteria and then contract it out directly, or build a spacious restaurant next to it and rent it out.

Otherwise, not to mention the hundreds of people here, there are almost a hundred workers alone. Eating every day is like fighting a war. They have to set up several tables, and the purchase of food and vegetables alone is enough to give them a headache.

Now we take turns to eat and use the bowls and chopsticks.

He has a total of three acres and two acres of land, and built two rows of buildings along the wall, covering a total of 30 rooms. There is actually a lot of open space, but everyone's pots and pans, tables and so on are placed in the middle, taking up a lot of space.

Moreover, those small fishing boats would not carry many people. No matter how many people go out every day, they will come back in the evening. When they come back, they have to cook. There is no one left at home to cook.

In fact, it is quite inconvenient. The most convenient thing is that there is a big cafeteria where you can eat directly when you come back.

Of course, no matter how troublesome they are, they are not as troublesome as him. The most important thing is that he has many workers and he has to be responsible for their food and drink.

Now there are four people staying at home and taking turns to do the shopping. In addition to the daily groceries, they also have to cook for more than thirty people, which is actually not easy.

If he calls in more workers, the workload will be even greater. He will have to set up seven or eight tables just for meals...

Not to mention cooking, the amount of vegetables bought is huge.

When Ye Yaodong thought of this, he also talked to his father about the issue of eating.

"Accommodation is easy to deal with. We still have a few bunk beds left from the ones we bought some time ago. We can squeeze in tomorrow. If there aren't enough, we can just sleep in any empty bed. But eating is a real problem."

Father Ye frowned again, "That's right, so many mouths to feed, all strong laborers, they eat without hesitation."

"I thought, maybe we should not pay for their meals, and give them a meal allowance every month in addition to their salary."

"Then we will build a larger canteen here and contract it out to others. Workers from other ships can also go to the canteen to get their meals. They don't have to cook, and there won't be a mess of pots and pans piled up on the open space. They also don't have to come back tired and have to cook."

"Or I can go back and persuade Fatty to come up and build a branch here. With so many workers here as customers, we don't have to worry about losing money at all."

"Besides, if we build a bigger one, we can also earn business from outside. There are so many people coming here. The small restaurants outside are packed with people every day, and there are queues everywhere."

Ye Yaodong thought as he spoke that the person who understood him best now was his father, and the person he could discuss things with was also his father.

He was not a very capable person and he often took things one step at a time. He only thought of it when the situation was right in front of him.

"What you said makes sense. With so many people, it's difficult to feed them. It's very troublesome. We really need to solve the problem of feeding them. If we can contract out a canteen, it will save us a lot of trouble. We don't have to go through the trouble of preparing meals for so many people. We still have to keep accounts every day to record how much food and vegetables we bought."

"Yes, keeping accounts every day makes my scalp tingle."

"Then see for yourself."

"Now I only work for about a month before going home for the New Year. I'll think it over first, so I can finish it in the two months before the New Year, and then implement the meal subsidy after the New Year. This way, workers with poor conditions can eat less and save extra money from their food to subsidize their families."

"also."

"The most important thing is to save yourself the trouble. When the time comes, you can leave the trouble of eating to others, and your family can also make money."

If he really builds a canteen, can he also collect a contract fee?

Ye Yaodong was somewhat inclined to just build a canteen. His place was so big and with so many workers, only a canteen would make it complete.

When he has more and more boats, the policy will be relaxed and he will hang a Dongsheng Fishery Company sign at his door.

When the time comes, he will directly arrange for people to deliver the goods from other factories, and then use public funds. He will definitely not have to run around all this time.

He has now taken shape, right?

It would be more decent to set up a canteen.

"You should call back the worker who left a few days ago and build another big canteen in the next one or two months. It's not easy to persuade others to open a store outside. They don't know the situation here. It's a lot of trouble and you have to take risks for them."

"That's fine. We can just build a large dining hall on the first floor, and add rooms on the second floor. We can also add a third floor. This will save us from having to add rooms in two years when the building is not big enough. We can save some ground space by building directly on top."

He will move directly to the third floor then!

"You haven't recovered the money you spent yet, so you have to pay another expense."

"Who said I didn't get any money back? Didn't I just get more than 16000 yuan in rent yesterday? It's just enough to build a house. I didn't lose money."

"You haven't lost money yet? You spent 10 yuan and only got back a little over 16000 yuan. Now you have to spend it again, and you got nothing back."

"Then when I finish building and contract out the projects, won't I be able to make some money? Don't worry, the more I build, the more money I will make. What's more, I will collect more than 16000 yuan in rent this year, more than 2 yuan next year, and maybe 3 yuan the year after. How far is it from making back my investment?"

Father Ye shook his head. What he said made sense anyway.

"That's it, then. When we get home, I'll talk to Guang and the others. If the weather is good tomorrow, you can take them back by boat. I called mom yesterday to ask her to help get the workers together, so they should be able to get them all in the next two days."

"Okay, there's nothing to prepare anyway, just listen to the weather forecast tonight, no problem, just leave at night."

I will update one to make up for the early morning one first, and then try to post another 6000 words after midnight.
