Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1538 Thoughts
Ye Yaodong went out and got a quick meal. He was alone anyway, so he didn't need to be particular. He could do whatever was easiest as long as he could fill his stomach.

After eating, I came back to the factory and asked Manager Qi to call out the 30 veterans who had not yet been assigned jobs.

He was waiting in the open space in front of the dormitory building, with the list in his hand.

Before taking someone away, he has to call out the name, recognize the person, and compare the person with the information first.

By the way, we chatted about what he did in the army before. After learning more about it, if he has special skills, he can make a note of it so that he can be arranged on the ship, as there are positions on the ship.

Now everyone's salary is the same when starting out. After they become familiar with the job, they will be appropriately adjusted and their salaries will certainly be different.

A former soldier is worthy of being a former soldier. When he jogged over, he actually lined up. When standing in front of him, they even adjusted themselves and stood neatly from tall to short.

That series of actions left him speechless.

There were only a few who came out slowly, but they ran over and found a position suitable for their size, then stood straight, waiting for him to speak.

30 people stood in three rows, 10 in each row, and they were really neat and tidy. The key point was that they adjusted their lines by themselves without him saying anything.

Ye Yaodong suddenly didn't know how to start speaking. He hesitated for a moment and coughed dryly.

"Count!"

These veterans also looked at him in surprise, and then actually started counting from left to right.

"one two Three……"

"Well... everyone is here, so I'll call the roll. Those whose names are called, please come forward so I can get to know you and we can chat for a while."

Ye Yaodong felt a little embarrassed, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he quickly reported his name.

Every time you report a name, ask the person a few questions.

Only after all 30 names had been reported did he explain to them that they needed to go out to sea, so they would not live here.

This is the dormitory for the workers in the processing plant, and the dormitory for the workers going out to sea is in another place. He asked them to go back to the dormitory to pack their luggage and follow him now. He would arrange new accommodation for them. Moreover, the boat workers were different from the workers here, as they were provided with food.

These veterans knew that they would be divided into two groups, one to work in factories and the other to go to sea, and they didn't know each other originally.

But after spending a night and a morning together, they got to know each other a little bit. They could tell at a glance if someone was disabled, and they knew that those who stayed here were basically disabled or unhealthy people.

For those of them who are in good health, going to sea is a natural thing to do and they have no objection, as a soldier's duty is to obey orders.

Ye Yaodong only had to wait for less than 10 minutes before everyone had packed their luggage and got on the tractor. It was really fast.

Since one car couldn't accommodate everyone, he told them to take two cars, and chose someone who could drive a tractor to drive one in the front and follow behind him.

At the base camp, there are only about 30 people today. Twenty or so are his workers, and the remaining few are from the canteen, the fat man's relatives or relatives of his relatives.

There were a total of sixteen workers on his two seafood-collecting boats, plus seven or eight logistics and rotation substitutes.

People will always have a headache or fever, or feel unwell after eating grains. Now the fresh food collection ships go out to sea to collect goods every day. If someone feels unwell at sea, the boatmen of the fresh food collection ship can immediately arrange a substitute and pick the person up in time.

This can be considered a kind of guarantee, as other ships do not have this kind of treatment.

After Ye Yaodong arrived at the base camp, he asked Lao You to take the roster and check one by one to find out those who were left behind, and if they didn't go out, then forget it.

The list in his hand recorded which workers were assigned to which ship.

While he was calling for people, Ye Yaodong went to settle these veterans and decided to gather again in 10 minutes.

While waiting for the assembly, he also sat and thought.

Both ships also needed new captains, and he had candidates, but they were all out at sea now, so he couldn't leave.

He thought that it was already afternoon and there was no need to go out now, so he let these people rest for a while and get familiar with the people around them and who they would be working with soon.

Tomorrow morning, let the two new ships go out to sea with the seafood boat.

His father also went out to sea with him yesterday. After all, it was their first trip after the New Year, so he thought he should go along and take a look.

When the seafood ship sets out tomorrow, it will be a good opportunity to bring his father over and transfer him to these two new ships, Ocean No. 4 and Ocean No. 5.

Then we will arrange another Boss Chen, and choose two deputies from among these veterans, some of whom can drive a boat.

The new team will have to work together for a few months first. Anyway, his father on shore is taking the opportunity to make extra money, so let him take charge of the two new boats for a while.

After a few months of adjustment, he had resolved some matters at the processing plant and was able to hand them over. After letting go, he took those ocean-going ships to the deep sea.

The stall is too big, and he can't just walk away as he pleases. Everything has to be arranged and put on the right track before he can sell it.

The new boat and new people on the fishing boat also need to get used to each other and wait.

After finalizing the arrangements for tomorrow, he flipped through the list and marked with a pen who would go on which ship, evenly distributing the work between the old and the new.

There are two ocean-going fishing vessels and three seafood collecting vessels, with a total of more than 3 people on board the five vessels, who are temporarily arranged in a shuffled arrangement.

When the time came, everyone had already stood in front of him in a neat line, except that some of his crew members had gone out and were not there yet, but all those who were there had arrived.

You can tell the difference between people just by looking at their standing posture.

The workers looked curiously at the people standing in three neat rows nearby, pointing and talking in low voices.

"Where did Adong find this person? Why does he look like a soldier..."

"These are all soldiers. You didn't know that, did you? I heard about it last year. The army arranged a group of retired soldiers for Dongzi to take over. Dongzi planned to arrange them on the new ship, so many people came to ask for work during the New Year. Dongzi refused them all, saying that they had already been arranged."

"They are all soldiers, no wonder..."

"These are all retired navy soldiers. I heard from others that the military leaders even went to the processing plant to inspect and make the arrangements. Our boss has a lot of connections."

"so smart?"

"Of course it's amazing. Dongzi succeeds in everything he does. The military leaders have already gone to the processing plant when it was just opened. It's hard for it not to be successful."

……

"Boss, everyone who can be called has been called here, the others are not here."

Ye Yaodong nodded and stood up. If the person was not there, he could just ask Lao You to relay the message when the time came. He knew everyone there anyway.

He asked Lao You to look at the list of personnel so that he could re-select the assignments.

Before the distribution, he planned to say a few words so that everyone could get to know each other.

"Good afternoon. Let me introduce to you all. The people standing in three rows in front are retired soldiers who have just been assigned to the army. Some of them are staying in the processing plant, and these are going to the sea."

"They are all retired navy soldiers, and their experience at sea is no less than yours, but their experience in fishing is definitely not as rich as yours. From now on, you old boatmen will have to lead them."

"Just like when you are training new people, everyone should get along well with each other. There is still a long way to go in the future."

"Because they have little experience in fishing, the personnel on the two freshwater fishing boats had to be reshuffled. Anyway, it was just like in previous years, so we had to reorganize them."

"The names on the list are all in my hands, and I will distribute them randomly anyway. When I have finished distributing them, I will ask Old You to rewrite the names and post them for you to see for yourselves. Some of you are not here yet, so you can take a look when you come back."

"If you have any objections to the assigned personnel list, you can discuss the change privately. After the discussion, go to Old You to adjust the list. Anyway, it's the same as in previous years."

Everyone was talking and whispering in low voices.

The three rows of veterans just looked at their noses and their hearts, without saying a word.

Ye Yaodong really liked what he saw. The army is really good at training people.

Absolute obedience and discipline.

I really want to send all the workers I have on hand to practice.

"Okay, I'll read you the list of arrangements, please listen carefully."

By the way, he also talked to Lao You next to him and arranged them on different ships, with numbers after their names, to form the new team. The rest without numbers would still serve as logistical substitutes.

Generally, he arranges younger people for these tasks, while older and more experienced people must definitely go on board to guide the newcomers.

Young people who stay on land can be more flexible if they need anything.

He will definitely make more personnel adjustments later, but now that the arrangements have just been made, he won’t make any adjustments so quickly.

At the very least we have to wait a few months. If he goes to the deep sea, it would be natural to make some personnel adjustments at that time.

After reporting all the names, he handed the list to Lao You and asked him to copy it and post it.

"That's it. If you have anything else to do, please find Old You. If there's nothing else, just go your separate ways."

"Oh wait, there is one more thing. I want to remind you that the freshwater boats will go out to sea to collect the goods at 5 a.m. tomorrow. If you don't gather on time, you will be fined for delaying the departure."

"Put away your laziness and start working. Don't play outside and be reluctant to go home to sleep."

Some people burst into laughter.

After Ye Yaodong arranged everything, he saw that no one came to talk to him, so he waited for a minute, then patted his butt and left.

He still had to take the money to the processing plant and hand it over to the finance department. It had already been delayed for quite some time. Chen Baoxing should be back with a truckload of goods soon.

After running back and forth non-stop, he finally managed to deal with today's affairs temporarily. Everything that needed to be arranged was arranged, and he could finally take a breath, make a pot of tea, and drink it quietly for a while.

By the way, I can use the calendar to write, draw, and make some corrections.

It was at this time that he remembered that it had been 7 days since he left the hospital for the examination, and he didn't know whether the report was out yet.

Thinking of this, he called Ye Chenghai's shipyard again, then transferred the call and waited for a long time before hearing Ye Chenghai's voice.

"Hello, I'm Ye Chenghai..."

"I'm your third uncle. Have you found a date?"

"Hehe, it's Uncle San. I thought it was my mother calling. I was confused. I just left a few days ago. How could my mother be willing to call me? Normally, she only calls once every two weeks."

"Have you found your partner? If you can't figure this out, you might as well just stay single. You're so useless."

"Who said I can't do it? I did it a long time ago. I did it before you left. I've held your hands so many times."

"Okay, it's not in vain that I helped you pretend to be cool."

"Hehehe...I can still handle it even if you don't help me pretend. I've liked me for a long time."

"He's crossing the river and destroying the bridge."

"No, no, thank you, Uncle San. Thank you very much. I will kowtow to you more when I succeed in my cultivation."

"Then you should work hard to get the recognition of his family."

"I'll try my best. It's indeed a little bit lacking. I'll think about it."

Ye Yaodong didn't give him any advice, and let him come up with his own ideas first. "Then you think about it carefully, but don't forget to get the report form from the hospital. Today is the 7th day, you didn't get it, right?"

"No, it's only Thursday today, and I have a night shift tomorrow. I thought I'd get it for you during the day and go watch a movie while I'm there."

"Okay, just remember it."

"Uncle San, have you arrived in Zhou City? Has my father gone out to sea?"

"Here we are. We arrived at noon the day before yesterday. Your father also went out to sea last night."

"Oh, let me ask you, how much do Jiang and Chenghe make in a month?"

"You do not know?"

"How should I know? They are two ghosts. They won't tell me even when I ask them. I swore I wouldn't tell anyone, but they still wouldn't tell me. The damn Chenghe even said I have zero credit, so he wouldn't tell me."

"Why are you asking this? If they don't tell you, then I can't tell you either."

"I'm just a reference. They all earn so much. I can't just make fifty or sixty a month. Where would my dignity as the eldest brother be?"

Ye Yaodong chuckled twice, "You still have the dignity of a big brother? The two of them together earn more in a day than you earn in a month. Are you satisfied?"

"Fuck, if they really make that much, one day is equivalent to what I make in a month. Damn, they make a fortune. No wonder they are so rich."

"You should also work hard to make money. You really can't be outdone by your brothers and sisters."

"Oh, hang up, hang up, go get some money."

"Ah."

While Ye Yaodong was making the call, his other hand was flipping through the calendar without stopping.

After hanging up the phone, he became thoughtful again, tapping the table with one hand. Then he thought of something and immediately went out to find the guard.

"Give me all the newspapers that have been delivered recently, including those before the New Year holiday, until today. Don't miss any. Find them all for me, whether it's the local evening paper or the People's Daily."

"Ok."

Ye Yaodong collected newspapers from the past month and took them back to his office, intending to slowly read the surrounding news and the People's Daily.

He has been away from here for the past month and can only watch the news broadcast every day. The news broadcast reports domestic and international political and military news, so he has to flip through the newspaper again.

Nowadays, our motherland is changing with each passing day. Various new policies are constantly being promulgated, and there are major news from time to time. If you want to know the real things, you have to pay attention to it every day.

He is still thinking about the large-scale development of Pudong. He just came here after the New Year and has been unable to leave. He has not yet arranged for anyone to visit Pudong.

I plan to flip through the daily newspaper and read the news first, then call Chen Baoguo over and send him to the Magic City again.

Now that he has just started working, he has a lot of things to do. Even if he wants to go to the Magic City, he can't leave. He can only wait for a while, at least half a month, to summon his father back to replace him for a few days, so that he can leave properly for a few days.

Ye Yaodong also spent the afternoon there reading the daily newspaper. The workshop affairs were handled by two managers anyway, so they would make the decisions themselves.

However, because there are other people here, they would come over from time to time to ask questions.

Chen Baoxing's truckload of goods was delivered at around 3 pm. The workshop had already stopped working before that because too little was purchased in the morning.

He also ran over to report after the weighing, showed the cargo list to Ye Yaodong for review, and then handed it to the finance department.

"Go back to the base camp later and call Chen Baoguo over to me..."

"Now?"

Ye Yaodong looked at the time and it seemed like he would be off work soon. "Forget it. I'll go there after get off work and I'll go find him myself then."

"Are you going to let him go to the Magic City?"

"Well, let him be stationed in the Magic City, and keep an eye on the houses for rent there."

The information about his rental has been posted to Director Zhang's agency. If he needs to check the accounts, he can find out everything with just one phone call. No matter who is sent, it will not be false.

After a new year, it will be 1990, and the policy for the large-scale development of Pudong should be almost announced, and it should be easy to rent.

We do need to send someone over to collect rent and find out about the development.

Chen Baoxing's face was full of envy. "He made a fortune, and he was so happy. If he went to Shanghai alone, he would be the boss, second only to the heavens and the earth, and he would be the third."

"We need to send one more person this time. He can't go alone. In case of a conflict, two people will be able to take care of each other."

It wasn't that he was worried about being betrayed, but he was thinking that since a large-scale development was about to start, those who had lost money from selling land previously might cause trouble.

A person is bound to be isolated and helpless, but two people can help communicate with each other.

However, this was also the worst case scenario he had thought of. The initial development would have to be done step by step, and it would have to start from the area close to the Huangpu River. Now he just needed to send people over to keep an eye on it and keep the people alert. Two people would be more than enough.

"That's true. It doesn't seem that great. It's boring to be alone in a place where you don't know anyone. Two people can be a companion."

"Since you are so envious, I will send you to accompany him."

Chen Baoxing shook his head like a rattle, "I don't want to. It's so nice to be with you. I can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and I can get to know a lot of bosses. I'm surrounded by familiar people."

"The key is that the salary is high..."

He smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes."

"Go ahead, go out and take a rest, and then we'll go back together after get off work."

"Okay, I'll go sit at the gate and watch over the door. When I leave, I'll definitely follow you. Uncle Dong, you can't leave me behind."

Ye Yaodong waved at him twice, indicating that he could go out.

Chen Baoxing went out happily.

And he continued to read the newspaper, and looked at the calendar to check the time.

After work, when he returned to the base camp, he went to find Chen Baoguo again and assigned him work.

This time, two people were arranged to go to Shanghai. The people whose names were called were very happy, thinking that it was a trip at public expense.

There were originally quite a few people on the logistics and collection ship. After they were distributed on the ship, there were actually only seven or eight people left. Now that two more people are sent to the Magic City, there will be only five or six left, which is not a lot.

But it’s not a big deal. The seafood-collecting boats go out early and come back late, and there are people here at night, so there’s no need to worry about being alone when something happens.

Another busy day passed for Ye Yaodong, and he was not idle at all the whole day.

Tomorrow, when all the fishing boats have gone out to sea and the people who should be sent out have been sent out, he will have a little free time and have time to check on Ye Huimei and his three nephews to see how they are adapting.

He was so busy these past two days that he hadn't even met them, and he didn't know where A Guang took them to play.

It was early in the morning, after all the fishing boats had gone out to sea, when he arrived at the processing plant and found no one there.

"Where did you go these past two days? I didn't even see you."

A Guang stretched his body and said, "On the first day, we walked around the city. On the second day, we visited the surrounding attractions. I will take them to play later."

"You're so cool! Everyone else has gone out to sea, and I'm busy as hell, but you're still hanging around."

"Hasn't my wife and kids just arrived? There's no place for these three little ones to stay. Let's take them out to play for a few days and send them to kindergarten later."

"Send it to kindergarten?"

"Yes, there is a kindergarten here. It would be great if we could send the child to the kindergarten. Huimei wouldn't have to look after the child herself. She just needs to pick him up and drop him off every day."

"That's not bad either. Going to kindergarten early will also help me get familiar with the atmosphere of the class."

Ye Huimei smiled and said, "Third brother, when are you going to the Magic City?"

"what?"

"I'll go for a walk with you."

"Why don't you just let Guang show you around? I don't have the time."

"I plan to send all three to kindergarten in a few days, and then have Guang pick them up. I'll go to the Magic City with you for a few days."

Ye Yaodong's mind was full of questions, "Why did you go to the Magic City?"

Ye Huimei glanced at A Guang and said, "I plan to go buy some goods and then send them back by ship for Dong Qing to sell."

"what?"

"Before the New Year, my mother brought a batch of products from Shanghai to people. Everyone responded very well. Everyone likes things from big cities. Then Dongqing wanted to promote it in the factory. I went to Shanghai to buy the products for her. Let's try to work together."

"!!!"

Ye Yaodong was so surprised.

"Whose idea was this?"

"Dongqing thought of it. She felt that factory workers had a stable income and the female workers also liked to be coquettish. Things from the Magic City were quite popular just by their name. Thinking that I would come here after the New Year, she decided to give it a try."

"Well, I feel like you guys won't be able to do this for long. You'll reach saturation. There are only so many workers and so little pay..."

"It's okay. I only run once or twice a month at most. I'll just give it a try."

"It's a good idea, go ahead and do it if you want, but you have to be careful about safety. You can't do it alone. Chen Baoguo just went to buy a boat ticket this morning and plans to go to Shanghai tomorrow. I think you will miss it. You can wait until next time..."
