Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1457 Estimates (Revised)
"I'm not a profiteer. This is how it should be. No one should serve others for free. I'm not grateful for a small favor, but I'm ungrateful for a big one."

"Sometimes people have urgent matters, so it's okay to exchange it once or twice, but this time you are allowing everyone to exchange it, so it can't be free."

"After changing it once, won't they come to you to change it again next time when they have money? It will cost several dollars to call back, and we can't do a business that loses money. You don't want to have so much cash on hand anyway."

There is some truth to that. His father is right. It costs several dollars to pay inter-provincial long-distance charges to call back.

This time he needs money, but what about next time?

It's good to make some money.

Anyway, those who are willing can come and redeem it, and those who are unwilling can save themselves the trouble.

He also thought about it carefully. He didn't exchange money every day. He just needed it this time, and there might not be many people who would exchange with him next time.

Workers are paid once a year or half a year, usually in advance. Unless their families need money, they have no money to send back, so all wages are settled in one lump sum at the end of the year.

This also avoids the situation where people cannot keep money on hand. It is more satisfying to get a large sum of money at the end of the year, and the wife and mother at home will also feel more at ease.

Anyway, they are from the same village or nearby villages, so they are all related.

The only ones who really want to exchange money are the ship captains. Half of them rent his ships and work for him, and a few of them are his friends or his father's friends. The probability of accidental risks is relatively low.

"Okay, then let's cap it at 20 yuan. I guess it's just this once. It's been half a year since it came up. Everyone has been saving for half a year, so it's probably hard to take it."

Next, I will probably save it up to take back home for the New Year, or I will have to go back to him to exchange it in about three or four months to maximize the benefits, after all, the cap is 20 yuan.

This is somewhat different from what he just thought. The actual exchange will not be frequent, and everyone will at most exchange it sporadically when needed.

It won’t be like this wave, where he looted it all at once.

Father Ye continued to whisper in his ear: "You just do it casually, it's equivalent to me driving a tractor for a month."

"I don't want to bother yet."

"Just be content. This is more than what most people earn in a year."

It is indeed a lot, but it is just icing on the cake.

The main purpose is to avoid handling fees. Every now and then, people would ask him to exchange goods whenever they sold one, and use it as a free transit.

That would be even riskier. How could they let him and A Qing exchange money for them every day?

There is a threshold for the handling fee, and it cannot be too low.

Ye Yaodong ignored the discussion between his father and his elder and second brothers. He thought about it carefully and understood the risks, so he felt relieved.

"Okay, let's do it this way. Dad, wait until you wake up from your nap at noon..."

"I woke up from my nap at noon and I'm going to drive the tractor. Who has time to do this for you? Are you addicted to being your trumpet? I can't read, so your name is Lao You."

"That's okay too."

"Dongzi, then should I exchange the money I have on hand with yours first?" Ye Yaopeng said.

"Okay."

Ye Yaohua also said: "Then I'll give them all to you first, shall we go get them now?"

"They are all 100-yuan notes, right? I don't want small pieces. It's too much trouble. I have to change them and it will take me a long time to count them."

"Then I'll give you a hundred-dollar bill. It's basically all from your bill. Keep the small change for later use."

After talking, the two brothers hurried back to get the money, and then deposited the money directly with Dongzi to exchange it. It was so convenient.

We set off on the 5th day after the Chinese New Year, and it has been almost half a year now. I haven’t calculated the accounts for this month yet, so I can only say it is months.

The two brothers saved up less than 2 yuan, mainly because they only had one boat, and each of them only owned %, so they got less.

When two people work together, they get the same amount of money.

For the tractor owned by Ye Chenghe and Ye Chengjiang, both of them contributed more than 1000 yuan each.

When they took the money, they had already discussed it. Each of them paid half of the deposit. Now each of them took out 1 yuan to exchange with Ye Yaodong, and there was still some money left on hand, which could be kept for emergency.

After counting the money, Ye Yaodong made a note of it for them and said that he would call back tomorrow and ask A Qing to give it to his eldest and second sister-in-law.

"Don't worry, you can get it anytime."

"Yes, we are not in a hurry. You can finish your work anytime you want."

"Well, you guys should go back and rest now? I can also tell the others that after dinner, if you need anything, come find me to change."

"Okay, they are all still playing cards and gambling. Whenever they have a break, they gamble. It's a good opportunity for them to send the money back, and they don't have to gamble too much."

Ye Yaodong nodded.

Small gambling can bring pleasure, but big gambling can harm the body, so this can be considered a good deed for him.

After the two left, Ye's father asked, "They only saved 2 yuan in half a year?"

"If you take away your talent, it's not a small amount. Each person on their SF Express account has 5% of the shares, and they also have to deduct the labor and fuel expenses. They don't go out to sea every day. I haven't calculated this month's account, it's only months."

"That seems to be the case."

Ye Yaodong then calculated the other people according to the standards of his eldest and second brothers.

His three childhood friends probably earned just over 30,000 yuan. A Guang's Harvest Account now earns the entire profit, and the rest of them make a little more, probably around 80,000 or 90,000 yuan, but he may have sent part of it back home.

However, if they wanted to exchange the money, he would definitely ask them to keep the money with them first, after all, they were going on a long journey with him.

Except for the four Zhou brothers, all other large ships seemed to belong to him...

Ye Yaodong was stunned. It seemed that there was not much money to exchange...

The captains here generally own fishing boats of more than ten to twenty meters, because ships of this price range are produced quickly by shipyards and everyone can afford them, so they are the first choice.

These people have probably earned about 6,000 to 7,000 yuan in the past six months. There were no typhoons in the first half of the year, at most it was a rainy season.

Ye Yaodong took a pen and paper to do some calculations and felt that it was about the same.

He owns half of the boats, and there are more than 20 boats owned by other people. If each person makes a net profit of to yuan, that would be more than yuan.

Together with the dozen or so ship captains who rented his boat, each of them should have about three thousand in their hands.

Although it doesn't look like much, it is the result of him taking half of the rent.

Better than a worker.

The workers he has can earn about 900 yuan after working for him for half a year, and that's after he got a salary increase this year. The captains who rent his boats can earn twice as much as the workers.

However, he estimated that the ship captains made a lot of money last year and will make some more this year, so they will all be able to buy their own ships by the end of the year.

I heard that some people went to the shipyard to place an order last year, and went home this year to pay the balance, so the ship will probably be available again.

I heard that a few people ordered ships from the shipyard here two months ago.

When Ye Yaodong thought about this, he decided to give out some benefits at the end of the year and sell the 17 boats to everyone at a discount based on the market price.

Over the past four or five years, the 17 ships that had been added gradually had already earned him several times the money.

Those who rented his boat were all cousins ​​or close relatives, so he took it as a thank you and also as a help.

If some people have already bought it, or reserved it, that’s okay, they can buy it later. There is more than one person in their family, and they also have brothers, sisters, and nephews. The previous generation was very fertile, so they will definitely rush to get it.

Ye Yaodong put this matter aside for the time being and continued to make estimates.

Not counting his elder brother, second brother and Zhou Da's, these small ships could probably loot hundreds of thousands in total.

It was much less than he imagined.

But he was also relieved. If the money was too much, he was worried that it would not be safe to give it to Aqing.

Now everyone has three to four thousand, five to six thousand in their hands, and the workers don't have much money either. That's not so bad, if you count the money household by household, it won't be a big deal.

You don't know until you calculate it. Once you calculate it, you will be shocked to find that the amount of money is less than what he had just imagined.

Add to that his brother's 2 and the 20 to from the four Zhou brothers, and the total would be more than .

Ye's father wanted to speak, but seeing that he was looking down, writing and calculating with a pen, he did not dare to disturb him.

After he put down his pen, he continued to ask, "What are you writing?"

"I'm calculating how much money I can collect from you guys."

"How many can there be?"

"More than 20 yuan. The biggest part belongs to the boat owned by the Zhou brothers. My friends and theirs are not counted. The boats of others are not big. They are all small boats. Each boat is worth a few thousand yuan at most. Uncle Zhao should have quite a few as well..."

Ye Yaodong told his father what he had just calculated, and his father thought it was pretty much the same.

However, Ye Yaodong added, "However, considering that they may have remitted money back intermittently, they probably only received about 100,000 or 200,000 yuan?"

"That's not a small amount, right? How much do you want to pay as a deposit? You should have about 300,000 or 400,000 yuan on hand now, right?"

"More than 40."

Father Ye raised his voice, "That's enough, it's so much, how much is the deposit? What will it cost for you to go to the Demon City? Hundreds of thousands, don't mess around."

Ye Yaodong glanced at him, closed the notebook, paper and pen, and locked them in the drawer.

"You know what? Stop making noise and go to sleep."

"So you've booked all the ships at the shipyard again. Have you called Qing yet?"

"No, she listens to me."

Father Ye lay down and muttered, "I don't know who gets scolded every time for acting first and asking for permission later."

"That's different. She's begging me to spend money now. She knows how wise my decision is."

Father Ye sat up again. "That's right. Fortunately, you bought the boat early. The price has increased by 1/3 this year. It's too much. Compared with the previous years, it must have doubled, right?"

"Not bad at all."

"Fuck him..." Father Ye couldn't help but swear after hearing this.

Ye Yaodong also lay down happily, "I made a profit."

"You have indeed made a profit. You are really smart."

"Do you understand now?"

Father Ye said happily: "Do you think the value of these boats can double again if they are left alone for a few more years?"

"You underestimated it, didn't you? It's almost doubled in just five or six years. In ten years, it might even increase tenfold."

"Ten times! You really dare to think so."

"of course."

"Hey, then our boat can still be sold for a good price after 10 years? Can the boat be sold for the same price as your Dongsheng?"

Ye Yaodong raised an eyebrow at his father, "Maybe."

"How wicked that shipyard must be."

"You can't say they are unscrupulous. Raw materials are all going up in price. Haven't you seen that more and more houses are being built? Steel prices are also going up in price. The shipyard certainly can't do business at a loss. You don't know how tough they are this morning. Either they raise the price or cancel the order."

In other words, because he has ordered a lot of ships and has a lot of money tied up, Director Shen might be more easy to talk to. If it were anyone else, he probably wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

However, I guess others have already started to criticize the shipyard for being unscrupulous. How can they raise the price halfway through the production? Isn't this just raising the price on the spur of the moment?
There must have been some unpleasant things going on, which is why four or five boats withdrew.

Otherwise, it would be halfway done and you wouldn’t know how long you would have to wait in line before you could even get the boat.

There are those who swallow their anger in silence, and of course there are also those who point fingers and curse. No one wants to be a sucker. How can someone who can spend money to buy a boat have a good temper?

For example, when you are getting married, you have been in love for several years, agreed on the gift, set the wedding date, sent out the invitation, and are about to get married, but they ask you to pay more...

Some people will tolerate it because of the years of relationship, but some people will not indulge it.

Then the bride price increases every year...

terrible.

"This is a big company, so it must be very powerful. They must be very confident and there must be a lot of people wanting them." Father Ye lay down again.

"Yeah, the official factories must be awesome."

"Dad, I plan to sell those dozen boats to everyone at the end of the year."

Father Ye held his breath when he heard this and sat up. "Why do you want to sell it? Didn't you say the price would go up? It's so good to make money. In a few years, you can sell it at a higher price. Wouldn't it be a big loss if you sell it?"

"You do sit-ups? Sometimes you lie down, sometimes you sit."

"No, why would you sell it?"

Ye Yaodong calmly put his hands behind his head and said, "It's too troublesome to settle the accounts."

"Why are you troubling so much? We've hired an accountant to do the accounting for you. Why are you still troubling? Just collect the money."

"In fact, I was thinking that these small boats have earned me several times the money. The people who rented these boats are my cousins ​​or other close relatives. I don't need to share the money from these boats now."

"So you thought of selling it to them as a way to help them?"

"Well, the resources near the coast will also gradually decrease. Those dozen ships will probably become less and less useful to me. After all, my ships are getting bigger and bigger. Although those ships are more, they can only be regarded as a fraction of my total."

In the past five months, I have only distributed an extra 5 yuan. As offshore resources become depleted, the amount will decrease in the future. It is better to do a favor now.

If they are sold as welfare at the end of the year, next year will be 1989, and it will definitely be profitable, but the output will definitely decrease slowly.

If he then focuses on the deep sea and the high seas, won't he be able to catch more?

Although there are many small boats, they are no match for a 40-meter large ship. Moreover, he also has his own seafood collection boat, which will not collect cargo from those small boats.

"It's okay even if it's just a fraction. If you tell others, it's more than a dozen ships. The number alone is enough to brag about."

Ye Yaodong laughed, "Don't look at the quality, look at the quantity, right?"

"Yes, apart from these dozen ships, your other large ships combined don't have this many. If you sell them in half, people might think you've lost a lot."

"Let's think bigger. If we abandon those dozen ships now, we can turn our attention to the deep sea and the high seas in two years. Do you think there are endless resources in the near sea?"

"How could it be possible that all the fish were caught? If they were, the fishermen would be finished. What else can they do if they can't fish?"

Ye Yaodong felt that he couldn't communicate with his father. He couldn't just say that a fishing moratorium policy would be introduced in a few years to give the ocean a chance to breathe, so they could continue fishing.

Otherwise, if they really keep fishing without limit, and there are more and more boats, then they will finish fishing immediately, right?
Of course the fishermen will be doomed, and the ocean will be doomed too.

"Go to sleep." He simply closed his eyes and stopped talking.

"If you want to go far away in a few years, why not sell it in a few years? Although the profit is not much compared to your big ships, it is still profit. Compared with others, it is much more."

Ye's father was a common man, so of course he wanted to earn every penny. No matter how he thought about it, he was unwilling to just sell it and give it to others at a low price.

He can only earn a dozen or twenty yuan a day by driving a tractor. How can Dongzi just give up the 20,000 or 30,000 yuan he has earned in the past six months?

Isn't that digging into his heart?
"Dongzi, Dongzi?"

"what?"

"You made a profit from the hundreds or thousands of dollars in handling fees up front, but you're just saying you don't want these tens of thousands?"

"Let's put it this way. I charge a handling fee to avoid subsequent troubles and to prevent people from treating me as a free exchange machine. I don't really want to make money from it. I'll think about the ship, so stop nagging me."

"Then you should think about it carefully. If you haven't thought it through, don't tell them. Otherwise, they will all be thinking about it. If you don't sell it to them, they will scold you to death."

"I know, long-winded."

"Remember to call your wife, don't just act on your own."

"are you done?"

"Okay, go to sleep, and I think you're swelling!"

He would have to go out and make a phone call to talk to Aqing and give Dongzi a warning.

Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment. Was he getting swelled again?
He cleared his mind and thought about it carefully. The two things had different original intentions and should be treated separately. They certainly could not be compared.

But what his father said makes sense. He can sell it next year or the year after, and he doesn't need to settle the accounts.

As long as he sells it cheaply, everyone will rush to buy it and it will be a benefit. Then he can give priority to those who rent boats.

He only has one 40-meter ship, an ocean-going vessel and a seafood collecting vessel, and the others have not started delivering goods yet. The offshore resources are still good, so he can continue to fish.

It’s okay to deal with it after a year or two.

It's really expanded again...

He fell asleep while thinking, and when he woke up, his father's bed was empty.

The big guys in the camp downstairs had already heard the two brothers' propaganda and were waiting there, waiting for him to show up.

Some people have sent some money back home in the past few months, but they still have money on hand. If they can exchange it back, that would of course be great.

As soon as Ye Yaodong showed up, everyone swarmed around him and asked him questions.

He said it directly and affirmatively.

Then he asked them to go back and count them. He only accepted hundred-dollar bills. After counting, they lined up to go to his room, and they could only enter one at a time.

This also ensures everyone's privacy.

Everyone responded with a yes.

Moreover, everyone trusted him very much. No one waited until tomorrow for the money to arrive in their account. Everyone lined up and gave him the money.

However, he also reminded everyone not to tell anyone except their wives how much money they sent back home, and to keep their earnings tight and not show off their wealth.

It only took him a meal time to collect all the money, which was unexpectedly fast.

The account is a bit unclear, just bear with it
