Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1491 Spreading the Word
With this kind of torture, he felt that the rabbit would not live long.

This turtle is quite long-lived. I didn't expect that I would keep it for several years. I didn't give it any special food. At most, my two sons would crack some snails and chop some earthworms for it. Most often, I would change the river water for it.

The two of them treated the turtle very fondly. It was not their turn as adults to do anything, so the kids had to change the water and feed the turtle themselves after school.

This is how turtles are kept alive. It is said that turtles live long lives.

The rabbit was in a difficult situation. It was held in the hand every day, forced to overeat, and had ropes tied to its feet. It was unknown whether it could survive to give birth.

Ye Yaodong took a chair and placed it at the door to bask in the sun. He also placed the turtle at his feet and poked it with a branch out of boredom.

Father Ye came over to see him so idle and asked, "When did you come back?"

"Last night, about 11 o'clock?"

"Are you done with your work and have you settled all the accounts?"

"It's almost time to rest for the New Year."

"I was thinking that when your five boats came back, you would definitely treat everyone to a meal, but I didn't expect you to be so busy."

"How can I have time? I wanted to, but I was busy until today. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, so I don't have time to treat you to a meal. So what? The workers have already given their red envelopes for the Chinese New Year. I can just prepare a table for dinner tonight. The fireworks have been confiscated anyway."

He thought so at first, but he never got around to it. Fortunately, he didn't say it at the beginning, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.

"I think you should just sell the shares in Vancouver so you don't have to run back and forth. You're already busy and this makes you even busier. Anyway, I don't go there to catch jellyfish anymore. I heard that there has been overfishing in recent years, so the number has decreased during the flood season, and they've also started breeding there."

Ye Yaodong nodded. He actually had the same idea.

But not now, he feels he can hold on for another five or six years.

My impression is that the lighter industry went downhill after the millennium, and he could have sold the business when it went downhill.

Anyway, whether you get more or less, it's not bad and it's also a considerable amount.

And it's not just the lighters, he also plans to be in the fish cannery for only ten years, earning money for only ten years, and then transfer his shares.

Because in another 10 years, canned fish will also be on the decline.

He couldn't hold on to every penny, so when he had made enough money, he would just ask their boss to buy the shares back, and he would withdraw and focus on his own fishing business.

The fishing boat is his focus, and those are just icing on the cake.

And in his memory, the fish canning factory in their town was at its most prosperous in the 2010s. It started to decline after the millennium and closed down before ...

All the large factories with two or three thousand employees have gone bankrupt, not to mention some small factories. Only a few well-known brands can barely maintain.

He also thought that if he could get away from it at that time, he would give him a reminder.

However, he will not withdraw at the last moment.

He replied to his father, "I know what I'm doing. I'll hold on to it for a few more years. When people's tolerance reaches its limit, I'll definitely redeem it at a low price. Hello, I'm fine, everyone is fine. I'm not from here anyway. I'll stop when I've made enough money. I've made what I should and shouldn't have made. There's no need to hold on to it."

"As long as you know what's going on."

Ye Yaodong did not mention that he would sell the fish canning factory as well. His father would definitely not agree to the sale of the shares, after all, it was in his own town and close to home.

During the days he was away, his father would ride his motorcycle every day, with his hands behind his back, to stroll around the fish cannery and inspect the industry for him, which was really glorious.

If he told his father that he was planning to sell it, his father would probably scold him for three days and three nights.

Father Ye looked around with a sly look in his eyes, and when he was sure that no one was around, he asked quietly, "You made one or two million this year, right?"

"what?"

"I'm just curious, but you seem to have spent a lot this year. You bought a few fishing boats, and also bought a house and a shop. But that's enough. Don't buy anything else. It's too much. You should keep more money in your hands. In case the policy changes again, you will have money in your hands."

"You're worrying for nothing. The policy will only get better."

"Who knows? How can we predict the future?"

"Don't worry about that. Help me arrange the workers first. We have added five new boats, so we need dozens more workers."

Last year, we sent two groups of people to study, a total of 6 people, but these 6 people were trained as the backbone of fishing boats and were to be in charge of the boats.

So he has no shortage of people to drive the ships, he just lacks ordinary workers. When the time comes, several ships will have to be reallocated so that the old ones can train the new ones.

There are no formal seafarer training institutions now, and few people send people for training, and it is basically the old ones who train the new ones.

He now has more fishing boats, and management is also a major problem.

He planned to reorganize the team that Wang Guangliang had at the beginning.

The reason why we didn't arrange for them to do so in the past two years is to let them learn more on the boat and accumulate experience. Otherwise, how can they convince the experienced fishermen when they are so young and new? No one will listen to them and no one will care about them.

Chen Shi has matured a lot through training at sea in recent years. He doesn't stutter as much anymore, speaks slower, and doesn't repeat himself.

He planned to arrange for a few of them to study in the spring. Anyway, they were not in important positions now and were not in charge of the ship. If they were transferred, they would be able to make better arrangements after they finished their study.

When Mr. Ye heard him say that he would call for dozens more workers, he counted on his fingers how many people were needed for each boat.

Although there are surplus personnel at present, they also have to be responsible for logistics. Especially now that there are more and more ships, naturally more people are needed for logistics.

Ye Yaodong was not very familiar with the people in the surrounding villages, and the job of hiring people was always assigned to his mother.

Just talk to his father and ask his mother to help call someone. Anyway, his mother can chat with anyone and have something to talk about. She is a real HR.

The father and son sat at the door and talked for half the morning about the fishing boat and the arrangements for the logistics staff. It was not until relatives came over to talk that the father and son started to chat with them.

In a short while, most of the village knew that he had returned from his work, and more and more people came to chat with them.

Ye Yaosheng and his wife also came over with their child to play.

"Adong is really a busy man now. It's so rare to see him when he comes back."

"It's like when you're on top, you can see other people."

"Haha, that's true. Once you go out to sea, you'll be there for half a month or a month. You can only see people when you come back. Sometimes you may not even see them when you come back."

"Dongzi is making a lot of money every minute now. You should be happy to see him today." A Guang said with a smile.

Ye Yaodong smiled and shook his head, "That's exaggerated."

"Dongzi, when are you going to buy a car? Let us take a look at it. I actually saw a car when I went to the county town a few days ago. You can only see it during the Chinese New Year. You don't get the chance to see it during other times."

Father Ye said, "Why buy a car? It's expensive, can't carry goods, and can't seat many people. It's worse than a tractor."

Ye Yaopeng asked curiously: "Dongzi, didn't I hear that you bought a big truck last year? Did you buy it? It's been so long, why haven't I seen you drive it back?"

"I have decided, but I don't have anyone to drive it. Those who can drive large trucks are trained by various units. Where can we find people from units these days? So I am not in a hurry. I will go and take a look after the Chinese New Year. I guess I can drive it back then."

"Who's driving it?"

"I sent Aqing's two nephews to study there. It's been a year. I'll go check out the results after a while."

They are learning from people introduced and arranged by their godfather, Director Chen. With someone to act as a matchmaker and a leader, it is definitely not as difficult to learn as if they find a master on their own.

A Qing has also arranged to give gifts to the master during the New Year and other holidays. It should be easier and faster for the two children to learn than others, so he won't deliberately hold you back.

The people around him clicked their tongues, "Are you guys pulling up the entire family?"

"Yes, arrangements have been made for my brothers, cousins, nephews, and my wife's family. It's really a great success."

Ah Guang smiled and said, "It's not just one big family that has been lifted up, Dongzi has lifted up our entire village."

He also described in vivid detail how, when they went to the town a few days ago to lift the motorcycle ashore, everyone praised their village for being rich when they heard that they were from Baisha Village.

Everyone smiled happily after hearing this and felt proud of it.

"Indeed, getting married in our village is much easier than in other villages now."

"Yes, now everyone in the town knows that our Baisha Village has good living conditions and everyone makes money."

"That makes sense. In the past few months, people have been coming to the county one after another. Almost every month, there are two waves of people coming to inspect and study. This is all thanks to Dongzi."

"Yes, it was Adong who first encouraged everyone to cultivate kelp, and he even donated two boats."

"He helps us sell the kelp we collect from the sea. We don't have to think about who to sell it to, and we don't have to worry about losing money after farming."

Ye Yaodong quickly said modestly, "No, no, no, everyone is exaggerating. I can't pull the whole village together by myself. This is the result of our village working together."

"I can't accomplish anything by myself. It depends on the collective."

Ye's mother said with a smile: "Everyone has a responsibility to build the collective. The leaders have said that unity is strength. Our village is united, and this is what makes it better and better."

"That's because Dongzi gave us advice and helped us solve our worries."

"Most of the strong laborers in our village follow him to make money. Each person can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a year. If a family of three or four fathers and sons go, they can earn 5,000 to 6,000 yuan a year."

"Not only that, women can still earn money at home."

"It's incredible. In the first few years, it was so difficult to become a 10,000 yuan household. Now there are more men in the family, and they go out to earn money with them. It only takes two years to become a 10,000 yuan household."

A group of men and women gathered together to talk, and they all expressed their feelings when talking about the changes in the village in recent years.

However, those who could gather around the three brothers' house and talk were either relatives, friends, or people who worked for them. They were all very close to each other and had natural interests tied to them, so of course they all said nice things.

The New Year is coming soon, and everyone will say nice things to each other when they meet. No one will bring bad luck to others.

Father Ye's face was full of smiles. "In the past two years, everyone has been making more and more money. In the future, every year will definitely be better than the last year. Everyone can build a house and buy a big ship."

"You know what? A few days ago, when I got back, many people went to the shipyard to order ships. But it seems that the production is not that fast. Some people have gone to the city."

Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and said, "After two or three years, my dozen boats will be open to everyone to redeem. People who originally rented the boats will be given priority, and I will give them a discount based on the market price of second-hand boats."

He had this idea a long time ago, but they had always discouraged him from doing so, hoping that he could make a little more money before selling it.

So he never said anything.

Now we are talking about the past.

He figured it would be about time to wait two or three years, then he could give up what he needed to give up and focus on larger ships.

After two or three years, he will probably have all the ships in his possession. Once he has the big ships, the small boats will have to be eliminated.

Moreover, after the new year, he will also have to cultivate the land and build a processing plant. After two years, the processing plant will probably be more mature, and by then his energy will be consumed everywhere.

By spreading the news now, we can also give everyone a heads-up in advance.

Two to three years was his estimated time, based on the delivery date of the large ship.

When everyone heard what he said, some were surprised, some were surprised, and some frowned, but the only one who frowned was his father.

"really?"

"Really? In two or three years, you're going to sell all those boats?"

"Why sell it? Isn't this a safe way to make money?"

"Yeah, you've worked so hard to save up so many boats, why are you selling them?"

Everyone asked questions at the same time, showing how excited they were.

There are hundreds of people in their camp, and if they all go to the shipyard to order ships, how long will it take the shipyard to build them?

What's more, Ye Yaodong said that he would give it to everyone at a price slightly cheaper than the market price.

Ye Yaodong said calmly: "I have too many ships, dozens of them, big and small. Besides, I have ships, I also have to arrange the cargo, which is too energy-consuming."

"In two or three years, I will have several large ships in my hands. By then, I may have to order other ships. I will give up the small ships and focus on the large ships."

"We can also help everyone out. After all, we have been operating the boat for several years, and we should have developed some feelings for it. We can sell it to the captain at a lower price when the time comes."

Everyone applauded.

"Great!"

"Dongzi is really generous. He sold more than a dozen boats at a low price."

"Adong is still generous..."

"This is great. Now everyone can drive the business with peace of mind for a few years."

"Don't regret it when the time comes, Adong, hahaha..."

"How can that be possible? He already has so many boats. So many small boats cannot match his one big boat."

The next chapter will be updated at about 2 o'clock. I have been busy all day today and I am dizzy. I am busy again when I come back at night. I am just starting to write. Anyway, I will update one chapter before going to bed.
