Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1562 Opening up sales

After Ye Yaodong completed the procedures for docking, he sat there waiting for his father to come.

The cargo could not be unloaded at the moment, and the workers had nothing to do for the time being. They could only wait there, sitting on the deck and chatting.

On the other side, Ye's father saw A Guang coming back. Before he could finish being surprised, he heard him gasping and saying, "...Dad, Dongzi's boat is back."

Father Ye opened his eyes wide, and then a look of joy appeared on his face, "Dongzi is back too? Just arrived? This coffin boy is finally back..."

"I'll come back and let you know when we get to the shore. I'm going to go have some tea. Wait for me..."

"understood."

As he spoke, he hurriedly trotted out. However, before he reached the gate, he turned back and ran towards the tractor, forgetting that he could drive the tractor. He almost had to run on his own two legs, muttering to himself.

"But he finally came back... He waited until his hair turned white before he came back..."

"I waited day and night, waited for the stars and the moon, and finally he came back..."

After Ye's father started the tractor, he hurried out.

A Guang just ran to the cafeteria to drink a sip of tea, but his father-in-law was gone. He looked out the door.

"Didn't I just tell him to wait for me? Why are you running so fast?"

Lao Pei said, "It's great. You can sit down and rest. You don't have to go. They're all back now. They can handle the rest by themselves. Why are you going with them?"

"Come and have a look. Dad, you don't know how many goods Dongzi has online..."

Anyway, Ye's father had already run away without waiting for him, so he just sat down here to rest and wait, and chatted with his father about the situation in the deep sea in the past few days.

Father Ye drove his tractor straight to the dock, and he had no idea that he didn't bring A Guang with him.

He felt that he had lost more hair recently than he had in the past ten years.

The hairline on my forehead has moved upwards, and my temples have become grayer due to worry.

As soon as he arrived at the dock, he ran straight to the deep-water port's docking point, craning his neck to look around as he ran.

Ye Yaodong stood at the bow of the boat, stood on tiptoe and looked towards the shore. He just saw his father stretching his neck and waved to him.

Father Ye trotted towards him in ecstasy, but his expression changed immediately once he got on the boat.

"You still remember to come back? My hair has turned white with worry, but you are enjoying yourself at sea, while I am worried at home and can't eat or sleep every day."

"Every day when I open my eyes, I am worried about where to sell the goods. Who else has not escaped? Every day I have to fight with Baoxing to see if there is anyone who can beg for more money."

"Because of those goods, I am so anxious that my mouth is covered with blisters every day, and I can't get rid of them."

"In just these 20 days, we both lost several kilograms. There was really a lot of goods. Before we could sell them all, the next shipload came back..."

"Your seafood collection ship just came back, and my seafood collection ship came back right after that..."

As soon as Ye's father saw him, he started to complain to him with a sour face, as if he owed him a million.

“Is that product sold out?”

"For the remaining part, we asked the women in the nearby villages to kill and dry them for several days. Mainly because your fishing boats are in a hurry to return to the sea to pick up the goods, and we don't have a cold storage to store them, and the weather is hot now."

"I have brought back three ships' worth of goods..."

Before Ye Yaodong could finish his words, his father took two steps back and waved his hands quickly. However, the fishing boat shook a little, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Damn it, is it that serious? Are you so scared that you fall to the ground?"

"You're crazy, what are you talking about? The fishing boat just swayed a little bit and lost its balance."

Father Ye quickly stood up using his hands and feet to hold onto the side of the boat, and continued, "Now that you're back, you should handle these few ships' cargo by yourself. I can't do it. I'm so worried. I need to take a break. You should handle the cargo you brought back by yourself."

He hurriedly distanced himself from the matter, fearing that Dongzi would hand it over to him again.

"You didn't go deep sea again this time, did you? I tell you, you can't go if you don't have a way to sell your goods. I have to worry about how to sell them if you bring them back every day. The goods on the last ship were not sold..."

"I know, I know. Stop nagging. I know what I'm doing. I'll definitely make sure everything is in order before I go to the deep sea again."

Ye Yaodong's brows were furrowed. His father kept chattering away, which was really annoying. Before he even said a word, his father had already said a lot.

"You have a plan every day, and then you throw everything to me and disappear without a trace. You put all the pressure on me. Look at the dark circles under my eyes. I haven't had a good night's sleep since you left. I sleep less than three hours a day. It would be better for me to go to the sea and you stay here..."

"Hey, stop talking so much and tell me how the goods have been sold during this period. Everyone is still waiting to unload the goods, and I need to calculate how much goods have been unloaded. Why didn't Baoxing come with you?"

After understanding the situation, he can arrange how much cargo to unload today and how much quantity to ship out, and the rest can be put aside for now.

"He's at the processing plant. He's busier than I am right now. He has to do everything I can't do. I'll call him over later to see how much cargo is required to be delivered today. But your three ships are too much."

Ye Yaodong pointed at someone and asked him to go to the processing plant and call Chen Baoxing over.

"I have sent someone to call him. Please tell me about the recent shipment situation."

"Row……"

Ah Zheng interrupted, "Dongzi, since there's nothing for us to do, let's go back and take a shower and go to bed."

"Okay, you guys go back and rest first, you must have had a hard time on this trip."

"What's the point of working so hard? This trip out to sea has given me a lot of experience."

Xiao Xiao said, "Okay, we'll leave first. You can talk to your father."

Ye Yaodong nodded and followed his father to the corner, leaning against the side of the boat. While waiting for Chen Baoxing to come over, he talked slowly to get to know him.

However, no matter how much Ye's father said, he would not be able to understand more clearly if he went to the processing plant and consulted the finance department.

After Chen Baoxing came over, he asked the workers to unload the goods that needed to be delivered today and asked his father to arrange for their delivery.

I also arranged for people to take turns watching over the boat, and the workers on the boat can go back and rest first.

But he himself had no time to rest. Only part of the cargo would be unloaded in the afternoon, and the cargo of the remaining two ships had to be shipped out as soon as possible.

The sales person hired by the processing plant last month did come in handy.

He was away during this period, so Ye's father had no idea how to sell goods. He relied on these salesmen to run around to various factories to ship the goods, and his father only delivered the goods and collected the money.

But since these were his own son's goods, Ye's father was powerless and could only rely on others. He was also worried that they would not be sold, so of course he became anxious and had bubbles on his lips.

When Ye Yaodong saw that the last truckload of goods was being sent away, he took Chen Baoxing on a motorcycle to the processing plant first.

His father was not good at selling goods, but he had no problem delivering goods and collecting money.

"Brother Dong, are you sure you don't want to go back and take a shower and rest first?"

"It's okay. I just woke up before docking. I'll go to the factory first. There are two more ships of goods that need to be arranged as soon as possible. When will the two fresh-collecting ships at home dock?"

Chen Baoxing frowned, "The two ships take turns going out to sea and come back every afternoon. The goods just sent out are part of the orders of the small fresh-collecting ship in advance."

"Well, I'll make a phone call when I get back to see if I can get a shipment of goods."

Chen Baoxing's eyes lit up, "Can you handle a whole shipload of goods?"

"Give it a try."

"Awesome, you are really awesome, Dong brother. You can solve any problem as soon as you come back. It's you who's responsible. This factory can't do without you."

"Of course this factory can't exist without me. This factory is mine. How can it exist without me?"

"Hey, let's drive faster. We'd better get this cargo done as soon as possible."

It was inconvenient for Ye Yaodong to talk while riding a motorcycle, and he couldn't hear clearly either, so he just stepped on the accelerator as a response.

After arriving at the processing plant and parking the car, he asked, "Before I left, I asked Manager Qi to apply for land from the government. How is the approval going?"

"It was approved, but they only rented it to us, not sold it. They said we took advantage of the imperfections in the law when we bought it. Now we are not allowed to sell it, we can only rent it."

"How big is the place you rented? How much is the rent? How many years can you rent it for?"

"They said the maximum lease term is 70 years, and we have to negotiate the rent with the government. Manager Qi is undecided and doesn't dare to make a blind order. We have to wait for you to come back and make the decision?"

"The lease term must be up to 70 years. We'll rent as much space as possible. It would be best if we could rent out all the vacant land nearby."

"You can talk to Manager Qi later. We still need to discuss the price. I don't know about this. I am now responsible for connecting the factory with the buyer."

"Well, it's better to have a clear division of labor," Ye Yaodong asked again, "Did Ayuan call you during the time I was away?"

"Yes, I called several people, all asking if you've come back yet. They wanted to discuss the issue of discharge with you, but we can't make the decision, and we have to wait for you to come back to deal with it. Fortunately, you only came back after 20 days, otherwise, we wouldn't know what to do if it dragged on. He called us every few days."

He pinched the bridge of his nose. Not long after he left, a bunch of things were waiting for him to make decisions.

As soon as the two of them went to the office, Manager Qi and Supervisor Yan quickly ran over.

"My dear boss, you are finally back. I knew it when I heard the sound of the tractor..."

"Oh my god, finally you are back, boss. There are so many things waiting for you to make decisions."

Ye Yaodong nodded at them and said, "Let's go to the office and sit down and talk, one thing at a time."

Fortunately, he had a nap on the boat before docking, so he still had the energy to talk to them. Otherwise, he would not have the energy to deal with the three of them.

There are a lot of things to talk about, really a lot. I won't talk about the small things, but the big things are the land application, veterans' issues, and personnel arrangements.

It took three hours for them to finish listening to their reports and make decisions one by one.

"Brother Dong...what do you think of dealing with those two ships of cargo..."

"I know. You guys go do your thing first. I'll make a few calls."

Ye Yaodong planned to call Hong Wenle to see. Because of the variety of goods, the fish cannery might not need much from him, and it also had a fixed supply line, but it would be able to sell some of the demanded goods.

By the way, he asked Hong Wenle to help him ask if there was any factory he knew and how much goods he needed, whether it was just for a few days or for a long time, and he could deliver the goods to the home.

Anyway, his boat is ready and it will only take two days to sail back.

After calling Hong Wenle, he called Acai again.

Acai has been working in the city for the past few years, and has been doing very well because he took over the connections that he had previously established.

As soon as he called, Acai patted his chest and promised that he would do his best to sell as many of his goods as possible, and told him to wait for news and call him once the quantity was confirmed.

Ye Yaodong felt relieved that most of the problem had been solved.

If we can build a sales channel this time, everything will be easy later.

He thought about it and decided not to make the last call.

He had originally planned to call Ye Yaohai, but now he was a little hesitant. They hadn't been in touch for a few years. If he called him now, he would just ask him to help find sales channels. He felt that it was a bit too utilitarian.

It’s better to give up for now and wait for a while, waiting for the exact news from Acai.

If he could help him get more goods, then he wouldn't have to look for Ye Yaohai. If that doesn't work, he'll make this call again.

He will take a rest tonight, and tomorrow he can contact the bosses of the Chamber of Commerce again. It shouldn't be a problem to ship more goods.

When he is not around, the relationship he maintains and his words naturally carry different weight than other people's words.

Ye Yaodong finished making all the phone calls. The sun was about to set. He stretched, twisted his sore neck, and then slumped back in his chair.

If Hong Wenle and Acai could help him sell more goods, he could sail back tomorrow to deliver the goods and build a fixed route at the same time.

I can also go home and stay there for a few days before coming back.

Having just returned from the deep sea, the workers were taking a break, so naturally he also had to take a break and finish all his work.

He has not been on shore for such a long time, and everything here is still operating normally, except for some major issues that require his decision, which are still pending.

If he were at home, he would still be able to answer the phone and call him for consultation and resolution.

However, before that he had to meet with Lin Guangyuan first. Not only about the veterans, but also the fragments fished out of the sea and the frilled shark had to be handed over to Lin Guangyuan to report to his superiors.

After stretching, he continued to call Lin Guangyuan. The number he dialed was given by Manager Qi, who said that Lin Guangyuan left it and asked him to call this number when he returned.

It seemed that Lin Guangyuan was getting better and better, and he even left him his phone number. Usually he could only write letters and then wait for Lin Guangyuan to call before he could contact him.

Things are different now. I can even leave him my phone number?

However, it is definitely not the contact method on the ship. The phone on the ship is a confidential phone. This should be the contact office of the land base.

Sure enough, when the call was connected, the other party just asked him to leave a message and pass it on.

He was also mentally prepared and went to eat after leaving the message.

It is not known when we can get a response. It may take a few days, or 10 days or even half a month. If we go out to sea with a ship, we will have to wait.

He had been busy since he docked in the morning until now mid-afternoon and was already tired, hungry and sleepy.

During this half day, he had arranged everything that needed to be arranged. All that was left was to wait for the call and notification. There was no way to rush, so he could only be patient.

He didn't go back to the base camp either. The cafeteria at the processing plant was already open, so he simply ate there. After eating, he took a quick shower and carried his luggage to the dormitory to sleep.

He kept yawning while eating and wanted to lie down right there. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes from yawning.

Especially when all the things that needed to be solved were solved, or when he was waiting for news, he felt more tired as he relaxed. He also needed a good and deep sleep.

During the more than 20 days at sea, he did not have a good night's sleep, sleeping less than 5 hours a day. Most of the time he was half asleep and half awake. He was nervous and under a lot of pressure. He only felt completely relaxed after he came back.

When he returned to the dormitory building, he lay down without a quilt and immediately started snoring loudly. He just threw his luggage into the corner without even unpacking it.

His mind was in a mess and he didn't remember that his red coral was inside, so he just threw the bag away casually.

He slept until noon the next day, and he woke up when everyone was looking for him and found his dormitory.

He was so tired and sleepy last night that he went to bed without even locking the door. At this moment, Father Ye just called Dongzi a few times and then opened the door and came in.

"Dongzi, why didn't you make a sound while you were sleeping here? I had to look for you everywhere."

"Ah?" Ye Yaodong yawned and stretched himself lazily, "What are you doing, so early in the morning..."

"It's almost 11 o'clock, so early in the morning? Otherwise, why would I rush to find you? I just want to ask you, what's the solution for the cargo on the ship that you said yesterday? I went to the dock this morning and saw that the remaining two ships of cargo had not moved. I thought you went out to make contacts early in the morning, but I didn't expect you to be sleeping here, not in a hurry at all."

"It's already 11 o'clock? I'm so tired. I had dinner last night, took a shower, and fell asleep right here. Will there be a call from me in the morning? I've already called you, just wait for it."

"I don't know about that. You have to go down and ask them."

"Ah."

He stretched again, then suddenly remembered his bag and quickly opened it.

"What are you doing?" Ye's father asked when he saw him suddenly rushing towards a bag of luggage.

Ye Yaodong threw out the dirty clothes one by one, and only then did he see that the corners of the tightly wrapped red coral were no longer broken. He felt relieved, thinking that it was worth it that he had wrapped it with three layers of dirty clothes inside and outside.

Father Ye's eyes widened when he saw the coral.

"Ah, such a big coral, where did you get it? Did you fish it out during this trip to the sea?"

"Correct."

"Wow, this is a big and valuable thing. It's bright red, so it must be able to sell for thousands of dollars. I heard that some bosses like to buy this and take it home as a display. Let me see it."

"Be careful." Ye Yaodong handed it to his father.

Father Ye took it outside and put it under the sun to look at it. "When can we sell it? Let me know how much it will sell for."

"I'm not selling it. Others are bosses, and I am a boss too. I'm also putting it on display."

"You are rich and willful. Why are you just displaying something worth thousands of dollars like this?"

"Why are you rushing over to see me so early in the morning?"

"I'm anxious about the cargo on your two ships. The fresh-water ship that came back yesterday evening has also found its cargo today. The fresh-water ship that will come back this afternoon should also have a cargo, which is your two ships..."

"Just wait for the news, you don't have to worry about it."

I have a cold and cough, and I have been groggy and sleeping intermittently for the whole day. I will resume my normal updates next time.
