This is the first time I don’t feel bored while sailing at night.
Ye Yaodong looked ahead, and from time to time turned his head to look at the woman sleeping next to him. He even reached out to touch her hair twice. Listening to the even breathing, he felt very peaceful.
The weather is getting cooler now, it's the end of October, and the sky doesn't get bright as early as in the summer. At around 5 o'clock in the morning, there is a little white light in the sky, dispelling the darkness of the night.
He had slept early before setting off, and when it got light, he was still full of energy.
He reached out and patted Lin Xiuqing beside him, "Don't sleep, get up and watch the sunrise."
Lin Xiuqing immediately opened her clear eyes, "I didn't sleep, so I just lay on my stomach with my eyes closed to relax. The space here is too small and stuffy, and it's not easy to sleep lying down."
"I thought you were asleep."
"I slept well in the first half of the night, and I wasn't actually sleepy. I just had nothing to do and it was pitch dark outside, so I just lay down."
She supported her chin with her hands and looked into the distance. When the first ray of dawn penetrated the sky, the entire sea surface seemed to be coated with a layer of gold and shimmered.
When I first opened my eyes, the genius had a little light, but by then the darkness had completely dissipated.
"The sun is coming out."
"Come out and take a look. You can see it more clearly from the top of the helm. You can also take out the camera in the lockbox and take some pictures of the sunrise on the sea."
Ye Yaodong stood up as he spoke, opened the cockpit door and walked out to make room for her so that she could come out more easily.
When Lin Xiuqing heard that she was asked to take pictures of the sunrise on the sea, she became very interested. She put the password box on the cushion, opened it, took out the camera and walked out.
He brought this specially because he wanted to take pictures of her. Everything these days is a memory worth cherishing.
"You can take any photos you want and save them."
"Well, I'm also picky. I have to take photos that are good-looking or meaningful. Otherwise, film would be so expensive. You can't waste money like this. What I take are all meaningful and worthwhile. These can be
They are all memories. I can’t remember things, but I can remember the scene when I see the photos. How nice.”
She smiled and said, "That means you have some money now, otherwise you can still save photos? Can you still carry a camera with you?"
"Stop talking and adjust it first. The sky is very red and the sun is about to jump out."
Lin Xiuqing immediately picked up the camera, took two pictures, and adjusted it.
At first, the sun peeked out quietly like a shy girl, revealing only a small part of the orange-red edge, dyeing the sky a gentle pink-purple.
She quickly raised the camera in surprise, clicked it a few times, and then took it down again. If the camera wanted to take a picture, she also wanted to look at it.
Gradually, the sun jumped out of the sea level, shining brightly. The golden brilliance filled the sea surface and intertwined with the blue water to form a picture.
She admired it and took pictures.
At this time, seagulls soared in the morning light, and their chirping echoed with the sound of the waves gently lapping the shore.
Ye Yaodong watched her looking at the distant horizon with a smile, and a camera hanging around her neck. If it weren't for the braid hanging on her chest, the white shirt on her upper body, and the blue pants on her lower body, it would be obvious
With the sense of age, he thought it had crossed the century.
Lin Xiuqing has become rich in the past two years, and has been exposed to more new things. She looks full of confidence, and even the clothes she wears give her a sense of foreignness.
At this time, she was still facing the sun, and the sunlight shone on her face, and the soft down on her face was clearly visible, making her whole person shine.
Ye Yaodong walked up behind her, put his hands on the railings on both sides of her, took her into his arms, and said with a smile: "Pretty, isn't she?"
"Well, it's exactly what you said. It looks like salted egg yolk. It feels red and slightly black when it pops out. It's so beautiful. I feel happy just by looking at it."
After speaking, she took a deep breath.
"Did you inhale spiritual energy?"
"What?"
"Ha ha."
"Go and take control of the fishing boat, don't just watch."
"It's okay. Do you want to go lie down for a while? My dad and the others probably haven't woken up yet. After the shift is over, I will go back to the cabin and relax for a while. You can continue to look at the scenery here?"
The sun jumped out of the sea level and rose for just a moment. It was very short-lived, but the two of them still stared at it.
"Well, I haven't seen enough yet. I'll stand here for a while while you go and sail your boat."
"Okay, then you can do it yourself."
As soon as Ye Yaodong entered the cockpit and wanted to take a look at the instrument controls, he felt as if someone was staring at him.
He tilted his head and looked at the source of his sight. He saw the camera in Lin Xiuqing's hand, smiling at him. He also grinned and gestured cooperatively.
"Haha, be serious. I'll take a nice photo of you sailing as a souvenir."
"OK."
Ye Yaodong straightened his clothes and touched his hairstyle, then sat up straight. Hearing a click, he smiled and turned his head again, "Are you ready?"
"alright."
"My dad will come over later and ask him to take a picture of us standing on the helm together."
"Dad probably won't use it. It will waste the film later, so forget it."
"All right."
The sun is rising higher and higher in the sky, and the temperature is beginning to climb. The chilly feeling when I wake up in the morning gradually dissipates, leaving only the coolness of autumn.
After Ye's father got up to replace him, he returned to the cockpit and lay down with his eyes closed to relax.
The other boatmen were all lying on their own bunks. This group was not going fishing, but they had to bring all the people with them.
There is no guarantee that accidents will not happen at sea. There is always a guarantee when there are more people. What's more, when going to other provinces, manpower is needed to move goods back and forth.
Originally, these people were hired by him with his salary, and they were paid monthly even if they didn't work. Why should he go back and forth on the boat while the boatmen rested at home? He must have brought them all with him.
Moreover, he brought two more with him on this trip, and now there are still two people squeezed into some beds.
He also asked a few younger brothers during this trip. The twins thought about it for a while, then discussed it with their family members when they went back, and reported that they would follow them. After all, they could earn double wages by working there.
Ye Yaodong will give them one copy here, and they will definitely be paid for working in the factory over there.
It is equivalent to two people going to work in Zhejiang Province and earning four wages of one person. It is worth it no matter how you calculate it.
However, if there is no double salary, no one would be willing to go. After all, it is much more comfortable and safer at home than outside.
Who knows what might happen to me in a foreign country? To put it mildly, I am working for the boss, but to put it worst, it is a job assignment. I am unfamiliar with the place and the language is not fluent, so I am very likely to encounter anything.
Like last time, they were all arrested because the workshop did not meet the regulations. The risk of jail time is also very high.
If you don’t add more money, people around you will definitely not go.
In fact, it is okay to recruit outsiders. Everyone is very poor. If they can get paid every month, even if they go to other provinces, there are still many people willing to go. But there is no loyalty to people recruited temporarily, so he would rather spend more money, anyway.
Raising two more people is not a problem for him.
As for the twin brothers, because there are many brothers and sisters in the family, their parents are not so worried about them running away, and they also agree that they can earn so much money.
When there are more children, love is also divided.
In addition, Ye Yaodong gave too much, and they were very excited and found it difficult to refuse.
Others were actually very excited, but they were the first to do so. Some were not as bold as them and were still hesitant.
He was half asleep and kept squinting until he heard someone outside yelling that it was time to eat. People in other beds moved and he sat up too.
It's only 8:30, so I've only been squinting for about two hours.
He filled a bowl for himself and Ah Qing, which was covered with mustard pickles, cucumbers, and a salted duck egg in his pocket.
He also asked his father to come down to eat and made room for him and Ah Qing to sit in the cockpit and eat.
"Day by day, I have to make room for you... I don't know if I will be able to eat the food you serve me in this life."
Lin Xiuqing kept laughing.
"Yes, why not? I will serve it to you at night, and I can also feed it to your mouth. Do you want it?"
"When I get sick and can't get up from bed, if you can feed me, I will be able to laugh even when I die."
"That's good, you can still survive."
Father Ye stared at him and cursed a few words that he couldn't hear clearly before going down.
Lin Xiuqing said while eating: "Why don't you let me go down and eat by myself?"
"They are all a bunch of rough guys. You want to go out to eat and everyone is staring at you? Then I feel uncomfortable. It's different at home than on a boat."
"What's the difference?"
"You don't understand, just eat your porridge. If the wind goes smoothly, we can arrive at four or five o'clock in the afternoon. If the wind direction is wrong, we can arrive before dark that day."
"All right."
"When you get there, take a good rest and get some sleep. I'll take you for a walk the next day."
"good."
Lin Xiuqing felt so sweet in her heart that even eating white porridge felt sweet. She didn't feel tired, and she didn't really stay up late.
Ye Yaodong didn't let his father take over after eating, and planned to drive by himself, but his father was worried and ran over to follow him for the second half of the journey and watched.
Then he might as well leave his father alone and stand on the deck with Ah Qing to watch the scenery.
When the sun completely set, they docked at the pier they had found earlier in Vancouver.
Lin Xiuqing also looked at the shore with surprise and curiosity, "Fortunately I don't get seasick, but it takes so long to drive. No wonder you all have to set off at night and arrive before dark."
"You know how difficult it is for me, right? Go pick up your lockbox and get ready to disembark."
The boatmen below were all busy when the fishing boat moved forward to the shore.
After Ye Yaodong got off the deck, he pushed his bicycle and told his father, "Wait a minute and you guys walk slowly behind. I will take Ah Qing over first on my bicycle."
"good,."
His luggage and Ah Qing's luggage were locked together with the money in the lockbox, so there was no need to bring anything else. After carrying the bicycle down and putting it on the dock, he climbed up and asked Ah Qing to sit down immediately.
Go to your home.
And while walking, he introduced the streets along the way to Ah Qing. He had been here for two months and was already very familiar with this road.
Lin Xiuqing looked at the streets along the way, and felt that they were no different from the ones they saw in the city. They were all a cluster of short houses, with a few houses at most. They looked newer and should have been newly built.
The two of them were riding bicycles halfway when they unexpectedly bumped into Fang Jingfu, who was also riding a bicycle in the same direction.
Even before Ye Yaodong noticed, Fang Jingfu was already pedaling desperately from behind, shouting for him.
"Ye Yaodong..."
"Ye Yaodong..."
"President Ye..."
Lin Xiuqing looked at the man standing up and riding a bicycle behind her, and tugged on the hem of Ye Yaodong's clothes, "It seems like someone is calling you from behind."
Ye Yaodong stopped and turned around to look, surprised.
After he stopped, Fang Jingfu also chased after him.
"Holy crap, you still have to call President Ye to stop? Doesn't the name Ye Yaodong no longer work?"
"No, I didn't hear it."
"You really don't have time to talk to me. You are really good at picking up girls. When did we meet you? Just arrived, right? They came to pick you up right after you arrived? You are really good at it." Fang Jingfu looked at him and then at Lin Xiuqing.
, said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is my wife."
"Ah, wife? Really?"
"Nonsense, I only have one wife, is there still a lie?"
"Hello, sister-in-law. I'm sorry. I was just too surprised. Suddenly there was a woman sitting behind his bicycle, trying to teach him that he has a wife... I didn't expect that my sister-in-law is so good-looking. She is so good-looking as Comrade Ye Yaodong.
It's a perfect match. Comrade Ye Yaodong is already very good-looking. What kind of woman do I want to be his wife? He always praises you..."
Fang Jingfu talked a lot, and Lin Xiuqing finally understood why Ye Yaodong mentioned this talkative person to him before. He was really a talkative person.
She smiled and said it didn't matter, and then said it modestly.
"Did you just arrive a while ago? I rode over just after dinner. I thought you should be able to arrive before dark, and I thought I would go to the workshop to wait for you."
"We have just arrived now. The others are walking behind. We rode our bicycles over there first, and then we met you. This is not the place to talk on the way. Let's ride over there first, and then we can talk when we get to the workshop."
"OK."
The two bicycles rode side by side, saying that they would wait until they got there, but they continued to talk while walking.
It was getting dark, and there were not many people walking outside. The two of them riding side by side did not hinder the passers-by.
After waiting at the door of the workshop, Ye Yaodong took out his key and opened the door. It was full of people, and everyone was busy working non-stop. When they heard the sound of the door opening, only a few people raised their heads and looked at the door, and then continued to lower their heads.
work.
"There are so many people?" Lin Xiuqing followed curiously.
"If you are tired, I will take you to the room to take a nap first. If you wake up and are free, you can join in to earn money."
"Haha, it sounds like you brought me here to earn wages."
"I saw you watching these people working with bright eyes, and I thought you wanted to do it."
Fang Jingfu pushed his bicycle in, closed the courtyard door, and said with a smile: "You are not honest. You take your sister-in-law out and ask her to work to earn these three melons and two dates."
Ye Yaodong smiled and changed the subject and asked: "It looks like there are 50 people here. Even the main room is full of people."
"Yes, you guys will have to go to the back door to eat if you are staying for a few days this time. The main room is also occupied."
"It doesn't matter. I'll come over to pick up the goods. Let's talk about the partnership again. Once the deal is settled, I'll leave."
"Okay, okay, I just like a hands-off shopkeeper like you."
"Although I'm the boss, I still have to put two people in here to watch, otherwise I won't know anything. It's not enough to be blind. I have to have someone report to me."
"This is simple, just two more workers to do the work."
It is better than a partnership between some relatives and friends. When the time comes, all the seven aunts and eight aunts will be sent over to work, and then it will develop into their own family business.
You can't scold me, you can't rush me, you can take goods at will, and if you really go too far, you should be fired, and you have to be publicized everywhere and scold you for not respecting family ties and not respecting friends.
Ye Yaodong nodded, very satisfied with his easy-to-talk attitude.
"We have been on the boat for a day. I will take my wife to the room first and let her rest for a while."
"Okay, don't worry."
It had only been a few days since anyone had lived there, and the room didn't look particularly dirty. Anyway, the sanitary conditions of today's houses are the same.
Lin Xiuqing didn't choose. After putting down her luggage, she filled a basin of water, wiped the table top of the bed and mat, sprinkled a little water on the floor, and then swept it, and it was roughly ready for habitation.
She remembered that dinner had not yet been eaten, so she went out and asked Ye Yaodong again, who was talking to Fang Jingfu.
"Do you have rice, flour, grains and oil at home? We haven't had dinner yet."
"No, I moved them all when I left. After my father and the others arrive, just let a few boatmen cook. You can lie down and rest for a while."
"Okay, then let me go and see them working?"
"Can."
Ye Yaodong had nothing to do anyway, so he followed Fang Jingfu to look at the account books first and chatted while reading.
Father Ye and his party arrived an hour after they settled down. It was already dark. Some of them were carrying goods, while others were carrying rice, flour, grain and oil. They were all sweating profusely.
By the time they arrived, he had already discussed it with Fang Jingfu, leaving only the details.
Even the twins were arranged for him. They were both literate. One was delivering goods back and forth outside, and the other was helping with piece counting in the workshop. Originally, as the number of workers increased, there was also a shortage of people in the piece counting department.
Ye Yaodong also gave him suggestions, asking him to either register a company or be affiliated with a collective. However, he said that now that the problem has been solved, he does not need to be affiliated with a collective. He can register a company based on the situation.
And his investment also changed from 30,000 to 50,000. As for the 5,000 goods he wanted, it was agreed that the settlement would be settled together the next time he got the goods.
As for this share, the two of them discussed it back and forth. Fang Jingfu was only willing to give 20%. This was because he increased the share from 30,000 to 50,000. Otherwise, he would only be willing to give 10%, and he wanted 15%.
Then they kept discussing and giving in.
Ye Yaodong thought for a while and agreed. It was good to have so many. This was a sure profit.
It’s hard to say what happened in the later period. In the later period, the lighter factories went into recession, and most of them closed down, leaving only a few leading ones.
However, as long as he can make an initial profit, that's fine. Anyway, the more than 200,000 yuan in his family's money is really just sitting around. He might as well give it a try and cast a wide net. If he loses, he won't lose much, and if he makes that much
I really made a lot of money.
The two of them sat there and talked very quickly. Originally, both parties had intentions, and they had already talked on the phone, and they were both straightforward people. Now, if they talk in person, they just want to confirm and discuss the details and shares.
.
Ye Yaodong originally didn't have high requirements, as long as the share was not too small, but now if he can give 20%, which is within his expectations, then it would be OK.
As for if there is another capital injection in the future, if it is diluted, it will be very considerable. Or if he has money in the future and the place becomes bigger and stronger, he will have no problem injecting capital himself.
"If there's no problem, I'll ask someone to draw up a contract tomorrow. Let's formally sign the required articles of association. We still have to have them, we can't just talk about it verbally."
"That's for sure."
"Okay, no problem. We'll sign the contract tomorrow, and then you'll give us the money. Once it's settled, I'll be in charge of everything. You won't have to interfere."
"Definitely. I can't interfere even if I want to. I'm thousands of miles away. Isn't that what you like about me?"
"Hehe, I not only see this in you, but also see that you have money, otherwise I would have no place to borrow such a large sum."
"Do you have to treat me to dinner?"
"No problem. I'll call my brother after signing the contract tomorrow. You can bring your wife with you and we'll go to a state-owned hotel for dinner together. I thought you could arrive early today and have already booked a table at the state-owned hotel. Who knows?
I knew you didn’t come after waiting for a long time, so I went home for dinner.”
"That's okay. You are already very busy, but you still have to eat tomorrow."
Fang Jingfu patted his chest and assured, "This is necessary."
Lin Xiuqing had been watching their work curiously, not knowing that Ye Yaodong had turned the original order of 30,000 yuan into 50,000 yuan.
However, she couldn't say anything after knowing it.
You must give him face outside and have the final say.
Father Ye had no idea that his son had already spent 50,000 yuan while he was still walking.
When he arrived, he was still there saying that he should have just hired a tractor.
"Why don't you hire a tractor? I didn't ask you to save money for me."
"It's not because we all carry our burdens and walk around. It only takes a few hours to get there. It's not like we haven't walked there yet. No one is as valuable as you."
"You are used to being poor."
The wild boars can't eat the fine chaff, so they still dig at it.
"Forget it, you have been gone for such a long time. I asked Ah Qing to cook while you take a break or take a shower first."
"Okay." Lin Xiuqing agreed.
She had long wanted to cook, but it was hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.
Ye Yaodong waited until after dinner and took her back to the room before telling her that he had discussed it with Fang Jingfu.
"Ah? This has been discussed? When was it discussed?"
"Before you cook, I promise to invest 50,000 yuan directly for him. This batch of 5,000 pieces will be paid for when we come over next time."
"Didn't you say 30,000? Why did you change it to 50,000?"
"Because when it came to the distribution of shares, everyone took a step back and decided after discussion. That's it. Anyway, it's not much different."
"Did you really... have you thought of it a long time ago? So I said I would bring 30,000, and you told me to bring 50,000?"
"No, if you had thought of it earlier, I would have asked you to bring 60,000 yuan."
Lin Xiuqing didn't say anything after thinking about it. Anyway, he couldn't take the 50,000 yuan back with him, so he could spend it however he wanted.
"Forget it, just make your own decision and don't be fooled."
"Well, let's sign the contract and go to a state-owned hotel for dinner tomorrow. After dinner, I will take you around."
"good."
Chapter completed!
