Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1507 Planning
Lin Guangming hurriedly wanted to make a phone call and tell his mother that he had seen his elder brother.

He was lucky because Lin Guangyuan asked for leave not long after he arrived here.

Lin Guangwen followed him and asked, "Are you going to betray your brother now? If he fails to marry her, won't your mother be disappointed?"

"Ah? Then I won't tell you yet?"

"Just say your brother has his own ideas. Besides, isn't it advocated to marry and have children later? And the legal age for men to get married is 22, and he is not yet of age. You can cover up for your brother so that your mother doesn't have to nag you."

"Right."

After Ye Yaodong sent Lin Guangyuan back, he began to think about the fishing boat. After all, he could really take in a few veterans on the fishing boat that he had not yet acquired.

A boat needs at least 15 people, a thousand-ton fishing boat needs at least 20, so here he needs 80 people.

In the past two years, we have been recruiting people near the village. Now we need more people all of a sudden. It would be a good idea to arrange some retired soldiers. They don’t need much training and can start work directly.

Moreover, except for two fishing boats which will be available by the end of this year or early next year, the other three will have to be obtained by the end of next year or even early the year after, so a lot of people can indeed be arranged.

In addition, his processing plant will start operating in the second half of the year. If he can run it properly within the next year, he will naturally be able to accept a lot of people.

He has helped the army share some of its worries, and if the leader just says a few words to help, the local government will definitely support him. They will definitely hope that he will become more and more successful and be able to accept more people in the future.

By then, he will be the conscientious enterprise officially designated to receive veterans.

The more he thought about it, the happier he felt. It was like someone brought him a pillow when he was sleepy.

It was not his initiative to speak out, but his nephew who asked for help. He did it purely to help his nephew arrange a job for his good comrade.

When his father came back from work, Ye Yaodong mentioned the matter to his father and analyzed the key points.

Father Ye slapped his thigh fiercely, "Is this a good thing? If we help them solve the problem of resettlement of retired soldiers, they will definitely help us get some quotas."

"Yes."

"Then why don't you order another fishing boat? If you promise to take on more people, it will be safer."

"A thousand-ton fishing boat costs one million."

"Uh... forget it, forget it. This is fine for now. Isn't your factory still under construction? It will be the same when the processing plant is set up later."

"I'll go to the construction site tomorrow and talk to the foreman about building some more dormitories in case we need them."

Anyway, it has been built and will come in handy sooner or later.

I went out recently and saw that construction was underway in many places in the city. Shops and street stalls have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and are everywhere on the streets of the city.

In the past, there were only two or three specific streets with small vendors. In recent times, there are more shops and the coverage is wider.

Where there are people, there is demand, and where there are people, there is development.

"Ayuan is a pretty good soldier. Should he come back next year? It feels like he has been a soldier for several years."

Ye Yaodong explained to his father that Lin Guangyuan wanted to stay for another year and then apply to become a volunteer soldier.

Although my family has enough food and clothing now, it would be nice to stay in the army and become a non-commissioned officer in the future. After serving for a few years, I can be assigned a position.

If he had a connection and could spend some money to get a promotion, that would certainly be better. However, that's a bit difficult and Yuan has to figure it out on his own, as he doesn't understand these things in the army.

The only support we can provide is to help him accept as many veterans as possible, which would probably give Lin Guangyuan extra points and improve his impression in front of the leaders.

It was half a month later that I received another call from Lin Guangyuan. He said he had mentioned it to his leader, who said it was a good thing, but he should wait until before he retires next year.

It is not certain how many people can be arranged now. If it is just a small fight with only a few people, it will not make much sense. Just arrange it privately with those we are close to.

Ye Yaodong thought that was right, but he couldn't give a specific number now. He had to wait until the workshop was built and the results were seen, which would take at least until the Chinese New Year.

However, the results will be seen by the New Year, and the expansion will be possible next year. The factory is profitable, and there are three fishing boats waiting to be delivered by the end of next year. Of course, he will dare to make a promise then.

At least there must be a minimum of a hundred people, otherwise he would be embarrassed to say that his factory can employ veterans.

The two talked on the phone for a while, and Ye Yaodong also told him that he would wait and see the situation after the New Year. When the number of people could be determined, he would write to tell him, and it would still be in time by then.

For the next period of time, Ye Yaodong paid special attention to the construction site and basically rode his motorcycle to check on the progress every other day.

At other times, whenever he has free time, he will go to a familiar factory to see how their workshops are producing, learn a little, and expand his network.

After all, once he sets up his processing plant, he will need to sell his goods, which will require introductions and connections.

He planned to start with the simplest squid shreds. He had originally ordered two large drying machines, so that he could catch, produce and sell the squid himself in a one-stop service.

Squid strips are his best-selling product, but all the fishing boats have been taken away by him, so his focus has shifted, and his family can only rely on the dock for supplies.

By the time he sets up the processing plant, he can easily supply the goods by collecting goods from his own ships.

If the production capacity is good, we can also provide more varieties according to the seasonality of fish, so that people will have more choices.

After studying for a while, Ye Yaodong felt that he had almost mastered all the theories and was already impatient to show his skills.

The construction sites were speeding up their progress in an orderly manner. He took some time to go to the Magic City again, intending to speed up the progress of the machines.

And he had several things to do, one of which was to check on the progress of the fishing boat. He was not in a hurry about the fishing boat now, although there was no point in being anxious.

Another thing was to collect the rent from the shops. He bought two shops together with the villa last year.

The original owner, an old lady, was waiting for her descendants while waiting for death. She had no time to run the shop, but she was not short of money either, so the shop was closed all year round.

After he took over, he just put it up for rent, not caring about the dilapidated state of the house. He thought there would be tenants who would rent it out and clean up the house anyway. As long as the location was good, he didn't need to worry about it.

So he rented it out just a few days after he posted it at the end of last year. He agreed to a one-time lease for 5 years, with the rent to be paid every six months in the first year and annually thereafter.

So he came here this time to collect the rent as well, which was almost due in a month.

His final purpose was to check out the land he bought last year. He planned to clean it up and build a row of houses to rent out.

The large-scale development of Pudong began in 1990, and the planning and construction of the Freedom Building began in the second half of 1990.

As for the cross-river bridges over the Huangpu River, there is only one, the Songpu Bridge, which I heard was originally a dual-purpose railway and highway bridge.

He also heard that the Nanpu Bridge was under construction. According to locals, it should be open to traffic in less than two years. Wouldn't it be more convenient to travel between Pudong and Puxi by then?

He built the house in advance. When Pudong is developed and migrant workers flock in, they will definitely need to rent houses, and his house will come in handy immediately.

When he bought it, he specifically looked at the hinterland of Pudong, the central area of ​​Pudong.

The large-scale development of Pudong also started from the area close to the Huangpu River, and gradually expanded to the central hinterland and then to the edge.

He made use of the land, built a house on it, and could collect rent for a few years, and then the land would naturally become a residence.

The price of land with houses on it that is about to be demolished will be different from that of wasteland.

It was already July 1989, and only half a year was left until 7, so he had to start building up the land.

Once Pudong is built, his rental house will come in handy. After all, the locals have limited accommodation space, so how can they rent out their houses? Once he builds the house, he won't have to worry about not being able to rent it out.

Ye Yaodong had already planned everything carefully in his mind, and he would do everything at the expected time.

However, building the rental house was a rather complicated task, so he was left to the end, and he also had to find someone to help him. He didn't have time to just stay here and watch.

After collecting the rent, he visited the machine factory and the shipyard to see the progress of two 40-meter-long fishing boats before heading to the Jiangnan Shipyard.

Because he wanted to ask Director Zhang to help introduce someone to the construction of the rental housing, as the other person was a local boss and knew the place better than he did.

He also had to ask Director Zhang to help him greet the local village cadres and give them gifts before he could start working. Naturally, he also received many benefits from Director Zhang.

As soon as the plasterer orders the first batch of building materials needed, he will buy a batch and put them there, and leave Chen Baoguo, who has just taken office in recent months, to supervise the work. If there is any need for the rest, he will let Chen Baoguo go to the building materials store to transport them, and he will come to settle the bill when there is no more stock.

If there is someone watching, there is no need for him to keep an eye on it. That's how you hire people.

He had communicated with Chen Baoguo before leaving for Shanghai, and only took people with him if they were willing, and then left them behind to supervise.

By the way, he could also ask Chen Baoguo to look after the villa and tidy it up for him, and he also brought his bicycle with him, intending to leave it for Chen Baoguo to use.

Anyway, he has no use for the bicycle now. He rides a motorcycle to go in and out of Zhou City. The bicycle has been idle in the base camp all the time. He gives it to anyone who needs it when going out. It has become a public bicycle.

Ye Yaodong ran around for a few days, and after everything was arranged, he did not leave immediately. He wanted to stay for a few more days and wait for the work to start.

And I also need to keep in touch with Director Zhang, and stop by his small studio to sit and take a look to see if I can get any bargains.

Having tasted the sweetness, I heard that he had introduced several more deals. A few months ago, based on his suggestion, I also set up an office, and currently I have completed many deals.

If he doesn't come around and see if he can find any bargains, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

It was fine before the person was away, but now that he is here, I have to ask Director Zhang to recommend him some houses or shops in a good location.

He also deliberately chose to come during the time when people were taking a break from their main job, so that they could do their side job while their main job was on break.

Director Zhang has helped him a lot these days, and he also brought a lot of cigarettes, alcohol and canned food when he visited him.

Director Zhang knew that he was coming today and had been waiting there for a long time. He came to greet him with a smile on his face.

"Why are you still so polite? Now that you're here, what else do you want to bring? And why are you bringing so much?"

"It's my duty. It was during your working hours before, or it was inconvenient for me to carry things here and there. Now that the work is done, I have to thank you. Let's go have lunch together at noon."

"It's a bit awkward, but it's just a matter of convenience. I'll just take you to the village committee to say a few words and introduce you to the local bricklayers and electricians who build houses. It's not a big deal."

"Then I have it today. I also want to ask if you have any houses or shops for sale? If I set up a studio, it should be easier to get orders, right?"

"Yes, I opened a shop that specializes in intermediary services, put up a sign, and asked friends and relatives to promote it. In the past few months, I have completed quite a few deals. It's also your suggestion. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of doing this, and would just help people."

"That should be a lot of money, definitely higher than your salary."

Director Zhang poured him a cup of tea with a rosy face. "Yes, it's not a big deal. Just hire two people to look after the store. If someone comes to look at the house, the land, or the store, or wants to sell it, just record it and take them to look. I'll come over to take a look after work, too."

"I suggest you also set up a sales commission system. As long as there is a deal, you can give the salesperson a commission. The base salary can be lower. This can also increase the enthusiasm of the store staff to work and take orders."

"That's great. You young people are really smart. Why didn't I think of that?"

"It's not too late now. The more orders they complete, the more money they can get. They will definitely be more active. It's better than being lazy and doing nothing. Anyway, they only get so little money, right?"

"Okay, I'll think about it in the next two days and arrange it right away."

"Let me know first what houses and shops are available for me to choose from."

"Right away, I'll look through the book. I've been busy lately and haven't come to see if there's anything left. You know, very few people sell their houses, shops, or land these days, unless they can't make ends meet or are planning to go abroad."

Ye Yaodong nodded, he naturally knew it.

Director Zhang was writing and drawing on the notebook in his hand, looking at the messy characters, a bunch of addresses and house features.

"Yes, there is a factory housing quota, and someone is selling it. This person is a relative..."

"I don't want this one, change it."

"Why not?"

"The factory's goal is to directly distribute benefits to workers, so the house registration can only be in the name of the workers. If there is a need to resell the house, it is usually agreed upon directly between relatives and friends, and the name cannot be changed, unless the workers privately coordinate and give up their quota, so that the factory can change the name of the house."

This is very troublesome. He is an outsider, so how can he ask the factory to change his name?

The factory's indicators can only be negotiated among workers, with workers making concessions and paying the difference privately.

If I really sell it, I can only say secretly that I am letting a relative to stay there. How can I change the name? It will be difficult to explain to the factory.

After all, the property rights of the house still belong to the factory, it’s just that the factory allocates it to you for temporary residence.

After listening to his explanation, Director Zhang felt that it made sense. It would be annoying to buy a house and end up registering it under someone else's name.

"Besides, I bought the house but I don't live in it, and the house registration is not in my name. It will be hard to say who owns the house when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll look through it for you again. This house has a lot of people coming and going. If someone wants to sell it today, someone else might buy it tomorrow. Let me look through it carefully."

“This shows that your business is good.”

"No one has done this yet. It's only now that I've been doing it for a few months and have gained some fame, so some people are starting to do it. It's because I work in a shipyard and live in a government compound, so I know a lot of people. They're all relatives in the compound who have come to me..."

Director Zhang was chatting about this and that, and finally turned to a registration that had not been traded.

"Yes, we have a small courtyard with its own entrance and exit, but it's in Pudong. My family was allocated a house by the company and we are moving to Puxi. We have no elderly people at home, so we are going to sell it."

Ye Yaodong slammed the table and said, "Okay, this is it."

It's just right. He is going to start construction on the land in Pudong. Chen Baoguo lives in Puxi and it's too far to commute. If he buys this yard in Pudong, it will be much more convenient for him to come and go to supervise the construction.

Too sleepy, I will write more tomorrow. I have been going to the hospital a lot recently and I am too tired. Now I have to start taking care of my health and not stay up late.
