Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1458 Confiscation
He did not collect the money through Lao You. He counted the money himself and kept track of the names and amounts himself.

This itself is not complicated.

He just didn't expect that before his father came back with the tractor, he had already collected all the money, and the names of almost everyone who had a boat were on the list.

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but feel a little proud. It had to be him.

In a word, everyone handed over their money to him and no one distrusted him.

Of course, he is also trustworthy. When everyone gives the money to him, he will specifically ask who the money should be given to, his mother, his wife, or his father.

And they promised to call tomorrow morning. If everything goes well, it will reach everyone's family in the afternoon. They can also call back tomorrow to check.

The money received was quite a lot, more than 13 yuan, and many people sent money home intermittently during this period.

He estimated that if he took out another 2 yuan, the total of 15 yuan would be enough for the deposit. The factory still owed him a deposit of 20 yuan, but that was for a 45-meter ship ordered last year, and he wanted it too even if the price had increased.

This time we ordered two 24-meter boats, one 36-meter boat and one 43-meter boat.

The delivery period is probably around the end of the year.

Last year, I booked a 45-meter ship. When signing the contract, I asked specifically when it would be available next year?
It was originally scheduled for the end of next year, but now there must be a lot of order cancellations, so it has to be moved forward.

If someone cancels and re-orders, you will definitely have to queue behind him.

The next morning, Ye Yaodong went out to make a phone call.

A Qing's current schedule is to work in the workshop in the morning and go to the factory in the afternoon. When he called, the person who answered happened to be A Qing, not the old lady.

He was just about to say hello, but after Ah Qing confirmed that it was him, he started typing away.

"Dad called me yesterday afternoon and said you told him you wanted to sell those boats? Are you feeling uncomfortable because you've made too much money? Do you want to be a Bodhisattva who saves the world?"

"Ah? Damn, he's so quick. I just mentioned it casually, and he called you to complain."

"He just asked me to tell you that even if you make money, you shouldn't get too complacent. We must continue to make the money we should make, so we won't let others get away with it."

"I know."

Isn't he still thinking that those are cousins?

The profits made by those ships are only a fraction of those made by the big ships.

Lin Xiuqing continued on the other end of the phone: "Don't do anything rash. If you have anything to say, tell me first so that I can remind you. Otherwise, you'll make too much money all of a sudden and get carried away..."

"I know I know……"

"In a few years, when we have more large ships on hand and you can't take care of them all, we can sell them at a lower price. We must make a profit now. Anyway, you have hired someone to do the accounting, so you don't have to do it yourself..."

"I know……"

Lin Xiuqing did not let him go and continued to nag about this topic, brainwashing him harshly and reminding him that he must earn his own money first and not let others take advantage of it. Who would complain about having too much money?

After receiving a call from Ye's father yesterday, she didn't go anywhere today. She just stayed in front of the phone, waiting for him to call back so that she could have a good talk with him.

Ye Yaodong felt overwhelmed listening to her. He was not at home, but he could still hear her nagging over the phone. But he couldn't just hang up because he had a list of names in his hand that he hadn't given to her yet.

"Alright, alright, it's endless. My ears are getting calloused. I just want our big family to prosper, right?"

"It's not powerful when one person is powerful, it's powerful when everyone around him is powerful at the same time. How can it be called arrogance?"

"Besides, although you don't want me to do the accounting, you don't want me to check the accounts, right? How can I just let them calculate whatever I want? I have to check the account book occasionally. A dozen small boats don't make as much as half a big boat. It doesn't take much energy. I also want to put more energy on the big boat."

"If I help them, everyone will be able to buy a big boat. If I build a few fresh-catch boats, won't I be able to make more money?"

"We need to broaden our horizons. Once we have earned enough, we should stop. How can we earn every last penny?"

Lin Xiuqing was speechless for a moment, but then said, "Isn't it still easy to make money now? Instead of expecting others to buy big ships, it's better to expect yourself to buy a few more, which will come faster."

"I have bought it, but I also want the shipyard to produce it for me. I ordered too much, and they won't accept the order. How can they serve me alone? And haven't I said it before? One person's strength is not strength. All relatives and friends should stand up. I don't say it's awesome, but at least everyone can speak loudly when they go out, and others will pay more attention to our village. Unity is strength."

"You have a great idea."

"Isn't this something I've seen a lot? And when we go out, we all join a group. Who doesn't have a sense of collective honor? What's more, everyone has worked for me for so many years and helped me make so much money. Of course, I hope they are all well."

"You'll have to wait a few years to sell it. Now is a good time to make money. The rent from those ships alone is enough to pay all the workers. You can save a lot of money."

"I see. Then let's wait two years. When I'm no longer fishing in the coastal waters and have to go far away, I'll sell the boat to them and let them accumulate more money."

After they have accumulated experience for two years, he will encourage everyone to follow him to the deep sea or the high seas, and by then he will be seen as a man of rich experience.

Then, he will continue to invest, he can make money, and others can also share the risk. By then, everyone will definitely follow him again, and he can make more money by setting up a few fresh fish collection ships.

He has implemented this principle from beginning to end: personal prosperity drives collective prosperity.

Lin Xiuqing was relieved after hearing this, and then she comforted and made amends with earnest words.

"We rent boats to them, so they are better than boatmen. This is already considered as assistance. Relatives are given priority in everything."

"At most you can give them a hint now, saying that in two years when you have too many big ships and don't have enough energy to manage them, you can sell them the small boats."

"This gives everyone something to look forward to, so they don't have to buy new boats one by one. If they run out, we will have to find new people to rent them, and then we will give priority to those who rent boats."

"Knowing that our boat will be sold at a low price in two years, everyone will definitely want to hold on for a while, and not rush to buy a new boat. This will also help us save some money and keep it there."

Ye Yaodong listened and responded, "Okay, okay, okay, got it, I'll do as you say. Then let me know first and wait for two years."

"Yes, this will also help to calm everyone down."

In fact, according to Lin Xiuqing, what's the harm in keeping it? Just hire more people to help and keep good accounts. Anyway, you can make money, so what's the harm in spending a little more time?

However, Ye Yaodong knew that offshore resources would gradually be depleted and many fish were almost fished out to extinction. The situation was not alleviated until the country implemented a fishing moratorium.

He would rather save this energy to repair the big ship.

After this matter was settled, he started talking about business.

Ye's father also said something when he called yesterday. Lin Xiuqing was mentally prepared and didn't say much. He agreed very straightforwardly and asked him to give the name of the person and the amount.

He reported one and she wrote it down.

After all the names were read out, Lin Xiuqing even called out his name to check with him.

It was okay for people from her own village, but for those who were not, she repeatedly asked for the address and name, and planned to confirm the home address with Ye's mother later.

After all, she has only been married here for 10 years, unlike Ye's mother who has been entrenched in the local area for decades.

After everything was checked over and over again and confirmed to be correct, Lin Xiuqing asked about his boat.

Yesterday, Ye's father called her mainly to complain. He was not very clear about the ship matter, after all, he did not go to the shipyard with her.

Ye Yaodong didn't mind the expensive phone bill and told her in detail about the price increase at the shipyard. He also took advantage of the fact that someone canceled their order and booked all the ships.

Now when Lin Xiuqing hears him buying a boat, he will only nod and not shake his head, but he can't help but complain.

"The increase is too much, it went up so much all at once. Normally it should increase slowly, right?"

"It's probably because the 100-yuan note was issued, so the price of raw materials has skyrocketed, plus fishing here does make a lot of money."

"You were right a few years ago. If you don't buy things, they will become more and more expensive, and money will become less and less valuable."

"So now it's proven that everything I said was right. You can always go no wrong by listening to me. I haven't read the newspapers in vain over the years. I've always been paying attention to current economic affairs."

"Haha, yes, I'll listen to you. Fortunately, I bought a lot in the past few years. Now I've made back my money and the boats are even more valuable. The shipyard happens to have more boats to buy, so you can spend the money you made this month."

Ye Yaodong also mentioned that he was going to the Magic City, so he wanted to collect everyone's money and keep some money for himself so that he could be ready in case there was an opportunity to make a fortune.

Lin Xiuqing was now convinced by his ideas and just asked him to take charge of the arrangements and call her if he needed anything.

"Be careful when you go out and don't get into conflicts with others."

"We will be going with a large group of people, so don't worry. You should also pay attention to your safety. If you have any problems, call me and I will tell Dad. I will also ask the village officials to keep an eye on our family."

"know."

Ye Yaodong planned to go back and urge Fatty to see when the phone line would be connected.

After Lin Xiuqing finished talking about business, the old lady's voice came from the other end of the phone.

The old lady had been listening nearby, but she didn't interrupt them as they were talking about business. She just pricked up her ears and waited.

After Lin Xiuqing handed the phone to the old lady, she took the list she had just written into the house and started counting the money. She planned to give the money to the villagers first, from near to far.

When Ye Yaodong finished his call and walked back slowly, those who were close to him received the money first.

However, he didn't know. After arriving home, he just told everyone that he had been notified and asked them to call back later to inquire, but not to call everyone at once, as it would not be so fast to deliver to each household one by one.

There were also anxious people who went out early in the morning to call home, but most people were patient and decided to wait until later.

What if it's not that fast? If I don't receive the money after the call, I'll have to call again later, wasting money. Each call costs a minimum of one yuan. Normally, they may only call once every half a month to report safety.

By the evening, almost everyone had called home. They were all very happy and said they had received the money so quickly.

"Adong, can we send the money back directly through you next time?"

"Yes, with your help, it's much faster and more convenient for us to send money back."

Ye Yaodong didn't say it was good, nor did he say it was bad.

"When is the next time? It will take at least a few months to save up. It's only half a year until the Chinese New Year. If your family needs it urgently, you can come to me then. I can still help with this little favor."

"That's good. I'm not in a hurry or have much money. I've saved for several months this time, so I can just send the money back through you. If you hadn't told me, I would have been sending money back in the next two days."

Everyone followed suit and was happy, and everyone was happy.

However, he still planned to call A Qing early the next morning to ask if everything was going well. He couldn't just focus on himself and ignore his family.

Lin Xiuqing replied that everything was fine at home.

However, the barking of dogs increased a lot in the next few nights, and she got up several times, thinking about raising the wall a little higher.

She was also a bit thoughtful. The dog at home was not kept in the kennel. In the past two months, the dog gave birth to two litters of puppies, adding more than a dozen puppies.

She discussed with her second sister-in-law who lived in the middle household and built a doghouse at her door along the wall of the two houses. There was already a doghouse at the door.

There are also two kennels over at the workshop. There are at least 20 dogs in her family now. If there is any noise at night, they will come and go. It is really noisy, but it also makes people feel at ease.

One or two dogs, two or three dogs may be poisoned to death, but dozens of dogs cannot all be poisoned to death by someone with bad intentions, right? Be alert, the problem is not serious.

However, she still told her neighbors about it the next day.

Everyone in the surrounding area has a boat, and they have made money by following Ye Yaodong, and they have a wealthy family. I would like to remind everyone that they can be more alert at night and help each other. After all, other families do not have as many dogs as his family.

Women hold up half the sky, and now rural women are also strong.

Lin Xiuqing also took the opportunity to spread the word that if any thief really broke into her house and was caught, he would be beaten to death or maimed.

At the same time, if you are from the same village as the thief, don't even think about going out on his boat to make money.

The other women in the village also followed suit. Their village is now very united and everyone is like a rope.

Now if anyone harms the collective interests or the interests of Ye Yaodong's family, the whole village will not agree.

Most of the village follows Ye Yaodong to make money.

The wind released by Lin Xiuqing was like long legs, blowing to several nearby villages.

Generally speaking, if there is someone doing something dishonest in a village, the villagers in the village will know about it.

This was a disguised form of warning on her part.

Lin Xiuqing has been managing the workshop for several years and his words are now influential in the village.

Ye's mother is good at talking. She can also find excuses to go to the surrounding villages to chat with people she knows, and she can curse at every village one by one, which will shock the whole village.

Ye Yaodong had a lot of things to do later on, so after receiving the news that everything was settled, he also started to get busy.

As agreed, he and his elder and second brothers got up early in the morning and went to the shipyard to sign the contract and pay the money.

The contract was almost the same as the original order, except for a few adjustments based on their requirements and a 30% increase in the price. After the three brothers checked to make sure they were correct, they signed the contracts one by one.

This can be considered a major matter for the three of them.

"You guys made the verbal decision that day which was considered quite timely. In the past two days, people who had originally withdrawn have come back one after another, thinking of taking it again, hehe..."

The three brothers looked at each other and couldn't help but feel lucky that they had arrived in time the day before yesterday.

Ye Yaodong said: "The shipyard is not theirs, so how can they just give it up or take it back?"

"That's right. The more harshly I cursed at that time, the more I regret it now. It's useless to beg for mercy."

Ye Yaopeng asked, "Did they go to inquire about the market, so they regretted it?"

"Of course, prices are going up everywhere, not just mine. Repair costs have gone up, not to mention construction costs."

"Luckily we arrived in time."

"Well, we usually base it on the deposit, and we trust you because you have hundreds of thousands of dollars staked here."

"Thank you very much. We will follow the rules. Will there be any more ships withdrawing later?"

"It's hard to say. I can't notify you if you haven't come to see them yet. For orders that have not been confirmed, we will stop working and do the confirmed orders first."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and it made sense. Since communication was inconvenient, he could only wait for the buyer to come and check the progress before he knew the situation.

He had no choice but to give up.

After signing the contract, they walked around the shipyard again before going back.

There were only three days left before the scheduled departure for Shanghai, and he didn't have much to prepare. Just two sets of clothes and a thousand yuan worth of cash would be enough. It would only take a few hours by boat anyway.

It's close and convenient to travel back and forth.

It was impossible for him to carry hundreds of thousands of dollars with him without any certainty.

"Donzi, the boat issue has been settled. We will also go out to sea at night."

"We have rested for many days. We should hurry up and go while there are fewer typhoons this month. There will be more typhoons starting next month."

Ye Yaodong responded.

The two brothers took turns again.

"If you go to the Magic City in a few days, you will have to take care of these two boys. If they don't obey, you can beat them up."

"You can beat and scold them as much as you want, as long as you bring them back. I'll also tell them to listen to you later."

"it is good."

"Neither of us has ever seen the world, so we'll just follow your instructions..."

Parents worry so much about their children, but the children don’t know anything.

When they walked to the door, they saw two boys squeezed on the tractor, holding what seemed to be magazines or something in their hands, their eyes shining, and they didn't even notice the three people walking up to them.

"Fuck, you guys are reading the Little Emperor's Book!"

The two men were startled to realize someone was approaching, and they immediately hid the magazine behind them, then looked at the three people with embarrassment on their faces.

"Dad, second uncle, third uncle..."

"father……"

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua looked extremely embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ye Yaodong was not embarrassed at all, and was very curious and wanted to take it, "What are you hiding? Take it out and share it with me. What are you looking at? Where did you get it?"

The two brothers hid themselves tightly behind him, ignoring him and just staring at and smiling at their two fathers.

"Dad, have you guys come back from buying the boat? Have you eaten yet? Hurry up and eat, or there will be no more food if you're late."

"Yes, yes, we have all eaten, you guys go now."

They were not worried about being seen by their third uncle, but it would be really embarrassing if their own father saw it.

Ye Yaopeng coughed dryly, "Well, you two are not allowed to spend money recklessly and do whatever you want."

Ye Yaohua also said: "Read more newspapers and read less of other things that you shouldn't read."

"Haha, we are just reading ordinary magazines, haha..."

The two didn't know what to say for a moment, so they just left.

"Donzi, you're not going?"

"You go first, I'll take a look for you and see what garbage they are watching."

Only after they walked away did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

"Take it out and show it to me. What good stuff are you looking at?"

"Uncle San, you just said rubbish."

“Is it a good thing now?”

Ye Yaodong spread his hands, "Stop talking nonsense and let me take a look. The cover just now almost made my eyes pop out. You guys are not trying to hide it at all. You are so shameless."

"Uncle San, come sit up and we'll share the show with you..."

Ye Chenghe moved his butt to the side and gave up the position in the middle.

"Who wants to see it? They are two minors, their hair hasn't even grown out yet..."

"It's grown!" Ye Chenghe stood up and retorted.

Ye Yaodong glared at him and snatched the magazine from Ye Chengjiang's hand.

"Fuck, it's so white and big, I thought I was seeing things, you guys are really blatant..."

He rolled the magazine into a cylinder and hit one of them on the head.

"It's confiscated, minors are not allowed to watch it!"

"what!"

"Fuck! We just watched..."

The two were shocked and quickly jumped out of the car to chase after him.

"Uncle San, give it back to us. We will share it with you. It's not like we won't let you watch it."

"That's right, Third Uncle, don't even think about taking it all for yourself!"

The two of them walked on the left and right, trying to snatch the magazine from his hand.

Ye Yaodong raised his hand high and hit one of them on the forehead, "Behave yourself, or I'll send you directly to your father."

"We didn't share it with Dad or you..."

"Do you think I am rare?"

"You are keeping it all for yourself now."

"Believe it or not, if I take your fathers to you right now, they will beat your butts up in no time. Don't even think about going to the Magic City with me in a couple of days."

The two of them were afraid to act rashly, but they didn't want to give up and continued to follow him.

"Uncle San, you are so unkind..."

“We are seeing the climax…”

"Where did you get it from? How much is it?"

These two brats really know how to spend money. They just made some money and now they know how to spend it?

"We didn't buy it. We met a fat man selling this in an alley near the pier, and he gave us a copy."

“We were shocked to see him setting up a street stall!”

Ye Yaodong was also shocked, "A fat guy is selling Little Emperor's books on the street? Holy shit..."

"Yeah, yeah, business is booming, there are a lot of people gathered there, we thought they were selling something, so we squeezed in when we had some free time."

"There are people everywhere from morning till night, three layers inside and three layers outside, everyone is scrambling to get it."

"He also asked us to help him sell it, so we took turns delivering the goods and one of us stayed there to help him, so he gave us a copy."

"This damn fat guy is leading the kids astray. He doesn't do legitimate business but goes out to make this money." He was cursing. No wonder I haven't seen him for several days.

It’s probably not the first day.

"Uncle San, we've told you everything, can you give it back to us?"

"Want it? No way! Confiscated!"

Ye Chenghe glared at Ye Chengjiang, "It's all your fault. You even went to the tractor to check. Now it's gone."

"If not on the tractor, where else can we go? There are other people in the house, and there are even more people in the cafeteria. The sun can shine in other corners, and there are no big trees here!"

"You can watch it under the covers at night."

"I'm hiding from you. Who wants to hide in the bed with you? You'll suffocate to death in this hot weather."

Both of them were very depressed, so they deliberately stayed away from the crowd and sat on the tractor to watch.

Unexpectedly, I was caught red-handed just as I saw the climax.

hate it!

Ye Chengjiang trotted up the stairs with Ye Yaodong, "Uncle San, can we give it to you after we finish looking at it..."

"Uncle San, please..."

"Uncle San, let's just take a look. It really is telling a story."

"What story? The pornographic one?"

Ye Chenghe gestured with his fingers, "Just a little bit, just a tiny bit!"

Ye Yaodong hit him again and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at noon or at night after watching this. You still have to work in the afternoon. Go, go, go and sleep."

"We feel like we're being scratched by a cat right now, how can we sleep..."

"We can't sleep if you don't show us the whole story..."

"No room for negotiation, get lost."

Ye Yaodong went straight into the room and closed the door, not letting them in.

After stuffing the magazine under the pillow and picking up the lunch box, he opened the door and went out again, locking it behind him.

"Ah, Uncle San, are you on guard against thieves?"

"Aren't you?"

Ye Yaodong took the lunch box and went to get food without paying any attention to them. After being busy for the whole morning, his stomach was already growling with hunger.

The two of them sighed and squatted at their door, blaming each other.

If Ye's father hadn't come up with a washed lunch box for a nap, they would have had a fight.

Father Ye was also wondering why the two of them were sitting at the door?

"Haha, we are waiting for Uncle San."

"Isn't he having dinner downstairs?"

"Yes, so we are waiting here. Please open the door and let us in. It is so hot."

"It's so hot. I'll plant some trees next year..." Father Ye muttered, and opened the door to let them in first.

They were so excited that as soon as they entered the room, their eyes looked around like searchlights.

The sharp-eyed ones showed them a corner of the cover sticking out from under the pillow.

The two of them pulled it out immediately and then rolled it into a ball.

"What are you doing? What are you taking? Don't touch your uncle's things. His things are very important..."

The two had already run outside, and the voices came from the corridor.

"This is a magazine or newspaper..."

"It's not important to Uncle San..."

"This is our ..."

"Hey hey..."

Father Ye was shouting and chasing but it was too late. Just as he ran out of the door, the two had already turned the corner and walked down the stairs, running faster than rabbits.

"What are these two doing? What did they get? They've been talking nonsense all morning..."

When Ye Yaodong came up, Ye's father hurriedly spoke to him.

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at his father. These two people were right under his nose, but they knew nothing.

His father has been making money for them all the time, but he is so blind that he actually asks him questions.

"It's none of your business, old man. This is the business of the young people, don't bother with them."

"What young people's business... it's inexplicable..."

Both little kids have grown up.
