Ye Yaodong has not yet figured out how to arrange the ship he just received.
I went to see Zhang Rensu after selling the goods yesterday morning, and immediately paid the deposit yesterday afternoon. I drank too much last night and sent him away. I talked to Aguang about the money and fell asleep when I went back. I didn't have time to give it to him.
Think about it.
Now that he was sitting in the driver's cab and the ship was sailing out, he had a real sense that the ship already belonged to him.
In his previous life, he was just a boatman on a ship like this. In this life, he has only been a few years, and he already owns it.
Just thinking about it and looking at the sea in the distance made him feel a little excited.
"Dongzi, your boat needs to be renovated here at once. There are not as many boats as there are here in the fishery. The shipyard here is definitely better than ours."
"I watch a bunch of maintenance workers coming and going every day on the dock. This ship is so big. After all, it runs in deep sea. The shipyard facilities here should be more complete, right?"
Ye Yaodong shook his head, "I don't know. I've only heard about the approximate locations of a few shipyards, but I haven't visited them. I'll wait until I get back to the shore. I only have 2,000 yuan left in my hand.
"
"Go out to collect a wave of goods in two days, and you will make money after selling them. Ah, yes, according to me, you can just change this to a fresh harvest ship, which will make more money."
"Then where should I find a fishing boat? A fresh-harvesting boat must have a docking fishing boat to make money. If not, where should I find one in the vast deep sea?"
It is relatively easy for a fishing boat to find a fresh harvest boat. Go to a large berth and inquire about it. The fresh harvest boat will dock every few days.
One fresh-harvesting boat can dock with many fishing boats. For fresh-harvesting boats, the more the better, and there is no extrapolation.
Nowadays, it is the fishing boats that are begging the fresh-harvesting boats to receive the goods, and whoever gives them too much goods. In the future, it will be the fresh-harvest boats that are begging the fishing boats for the goods.
When Ah Guang heard what he said, he felt it was right.
Dongzi's fresh-harvest boat made a huge profit every two days because there were several boats, all of which were owned by his own people, and he also had a share.
Suddenly such a big ship appears and wants to be used as a fresh harvest ship. Who should he find to dock with it?
"Then you have to make it a big trawler?"
"Almost."
He thought that after returning home, he would ask his father's friend Lin Jingye, Uncle Lin, to find out whether his first boat had been replaced by Uncle Lin's friend.
Uncle Lin's friend wants to join forces with others to build a fishing boat of over 30 meters long. This will definitely require a fresh harvesting boat to receive goods when going to the open sea. It would be more reliable if someone acquainted can introduce him.
It would be safer if we could go out to sea together.
He thought that the boat he got was probably made in Hong Kong and Taiwan, or that these sophisticated machines were all imported.
They are probably used to transport goods on the high seas.
When going to the deep sea, safety is basically guaranteed, but having a familiar fishing boat with you will give you more protection. After all, there are unforeseen circumstances.
"If this ship needs to be refitted in a factory, I won't be able to do it for a while."
"Definitely, I guess I still have to queue up, and some of the machinery and equipment accessories may not be readily available, so I guess they all have to be ordered. Anyway, I don't have money now and I'm not in a hurry. I just need to drive it back before the Chinese New Year."
"The next three months should be about the same."
“Well, I’ll get better before driving back, and then we’ll make plans for the specific overseas situation after the year.”
After all, it will be almost January until he returns, not long before the Chinese New Year.
The arrangement of some personnel on the ship is not a trivial matter. Although he can teach some technical tasks, after all, this kind of ship will stay at sea for a long time once it goes out. It is generally not easy to dock when there are no strong winds and waves. It all relies on the fresh cargo ship to receive the goods.
Some people may not be able to bear the supply of supplies.
Some specific personnel must be screened, and most of them must be experienced.
He also plans to repaint the boat and change its appearance. This is called a makeover. Even if it really has an owner, it will not be recognized.
The big ships these days, except those of fishing companies, are specially used for fishing and have special one-stop services. Generally speaking, many big ships take risks to transport goods on the high seas to make quick money.
I don't know how this ship crashed. I asked it during the ship inspection yesterday, and the Coast Guard said they couldn't find out. There were no signs of a fight on the ship. They only said perfunctorily that it might have been a natural disaster.
Ye Yaodong thought that it might be a man-made disaster. There are many anti-smuggling ships on the sea now, and they are targeting high seas.
As for how to avoid being dragged back, he didn't know. He could guess many possibilities if he wanted to.
Anyway, as long as the boat is a good boat, the rest is not important.
He drove the boat around on the sea, studied the functions of various instruments in the cockpit, and returned after feeling it clearly.
A Guang also ran to visit every corner of the ship, and then ran to his side and kept praising him.
Ye Yaodong found him annoying, spread his fingers and pushed his head aside.
"Go to anchor and stop the boat, don't be nagging."
"When your father comes back, he will smile crookedly."
"He knew that I came back to buy a boat just because he asked him to replace me."
"It's just your luck that you can still buy it two days late."
"What's the point? If you want such a big boat, most people have to think about it over and over again. They have to hold family meetings or clan meetings several times. They also have to find ways to raise money. Do you think anyone can get 100,000 yuan?
?”
"Yes, you were decisive. You came back yesterday and bought it yesterday."
"Hurry and drop anchor, you are still talking nonsense here."
Aguang left in a hurry.
After landing ashore, the two of them had nothing to do, so they asked some fishermen on the pier about the shipyard, and several came over.
After lunch, they took advantage of their free time to ride their bicycles and visit shipyards one by one. They didn't go home until it was almost dark.
Ye Yaodong only had 2,000 yuan left in his pocket, and he estimated that the deposit would not be enough. After understanding everything, he went back, planning to wait two days to receive a batch of goods, sell them, and then bring the ship over for renovation.
"Now that you have such a big boat, how many tables do you have to invite?"
"OK."
"When are you going to call home and tell me? And also make your family happy?"
"Uh... we'll find out when we get back during the Chinese New Year. There's no need to talk about it now."
"Haha, how will Sister-in-law react when she finds out that you bought a boat worth 100,000 yuan?"
A Guang said again: "How about I help you?"
Ye Yaodong: "..."
He raised his foot and wanted to kick her over, "Go back and eat your food. Don't mess with me. I don't have any extra food here."
The boatmen also looked at them with smiles.
There were also all kinds of compliments during the meal. Since Zhang Rensu was left for dinner last night, everyone knew that he bought the big boat. They had been talking about it all night, and today they talked about it all day and still couldn't get enough.
"Stop bragging. You are so happy. Why don't you give me a few words? Don't just catch the awesome Huo Huo."
"Hahahaha, our mouths stink, do you want it?"
"Hey, A Dong has been out for too long, and he's exhausted..."
"Boss, such a happy thing deserves to be celebrated. Why don't you take your friends out to have fun at night?"
"I'm already a pauper, and I'm taking you out to have fun. Tomorrow I won't be able to eat meat and I'll have to tighten my belt. In order to buy that boat, I scraped everything together and already owe tens of thousands in debt. How can I still count on it?"
You can help me earn more to pay off my debts."
"Oh, now that we have bought the boat, isn't it just a matter of making money every now and then?"
"Hey, you have so many boats."
Ye Yaodong waved his hand, "If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I won't go. It's exhausting. I have to run all day long. How can I have the energy?"
"That's why you have to relax..."
"I see that you are very relaxed all day long. I will buy some fishing lines and come back tomorrow, and you can weave a big net for me."
"ah?"
"If you have so much free time, work more. Only when you are tired can you go out and relax."
"Hey, does Adong plan to weave a big net directly for that cargo ship? Want to transform it into a trawler?"
"That's what I think, but I'm not in a hurry. I don't have any money, and I don't know where the renovation costs will be. I have to have money before I can make any plans."
The topic gradually became more serious again.
Father Ye also waited for two or three days before Ye Yaodong came.
Only then did I find out that he bought the cargo ship right away as soon as he returned, and he actually asked for 100,000 yuan, so much so that he could stuff a duck egg in his mouth.
"Why is it so expensive? I thought if this ship was disposed of, it would be around 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, wouldn't it be discounted?"
"That one is not an old ship. It is a new ship within the past two years. The configurations in the cockpit are not made in China. Who can give you 60,000 to 70,000 yuan? It is more than enough to sell it as a new ship."
After all, sophisticated instruments are all imported and made of all steel. They will never depreciate in value. If they have been useful for decades, why would you go crazy for 60,000 to 70,000?
He estimated that 100,000 yuan could only be regarded as the cost price, and at most it was a little overflow.
If it goes up 30 times after being stored for 30 or 40 years, it will only be available at second-hand prices. New ships will go up more than 30 times.
"Then you spent all your money all at once?"
"I'm still in debt, so I can make enough money this month to cover expenses."
"You are so willing to spend 100,000 yuan without blinking an eye. On that day, you didn't even think about it. 100,000 yuan is enough for you to spend a lifetime, and you don't have to do anything."
"If you think too much, it's worth it. Don't think too much. Strike first to gain advantage, and strike later will suffer disaster."
Father Ye frowned and said, "Don't call us back to tell us yet. When the boat sails back, our family will naturally know."
"I guess I can't hide it. All the boatmen at home know about it."
"Then...then let's not call back soon..."
"What for? I'm the one who got scolded."
100,000 yuan is indeed an astronomical figure to ordinary people.
But he felt that Ah Qing was reasonable and could be listened to after analysis. The main reason was that they had money now.
Even if 100,000 is spent, there are still 30,000 to 400,000 left on hand. Thinking of this, the anxiety is immediately reduced.
"Are you getting scolded or am I getting scolded?" Father Ye said angrily.
And he also imitated the old lady's tone and said: "How old is he? You are already old and you don't know how to stop me. What's the use of you..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't help but laugh, and then said: "That's right, my mother will still scold: What? One hundred thousand yuan? One hundred thousand yuan can buy the entire village. The whole village does not add up to one hundred thousand yuan. You
A prodigal, a small prodigal, the old one is so unreliable, no one can worry..."
"Go, go, don't call back now, the money will be spent anyway."
"Well, I'll call you after the borrowed money is repaid. It will also give them time to digest."
"Instead, you stay at sea, and I will go back to see what your piece of goods looks like and what the value of 100,000 yuan is."
"There are several multi-functional instruments in the cockpit. If you don't understand, don't touch them or start them. I won't give you the keys. I'll teach you when I get back. If you want to visit, you can go on board and visit. That's fine."
"Well, I'll take a tour first when I get back and see the structure inside."
The father and son exchanged words again, and Ye Yaodong returned to the sea again.
If we get back to shore in a few days, we can almost make up for the embezzled money.
It's still early September. If you work hard, you should be able to pay back A Guang's money by early October.
Then after another three months of accumulation, I can have enough money to take back during the Chinese New Year, which will also be able to shut their mouths by then.
If you have money, a big boat, and unlimited scenery, how can you still have something to talk about?
You have already made hundreds of thousands, so what if you spend 100,000 yuan to buy a big boat? It is also a production tool, and you can make more money with this big boat and reuse it.
The boatmen on the ship were busy sorting, and did not listen to what the father and son were talking about. When Ye Yaodong climbed over again, everyone asked about the situation, and everyone knew that he was going back for that cargo ship.
Ye Yaodong only said that he would take them to the big ship for a visit when he got back. He shocked everyone and praised them fiercely.
"I'm done working, getting ready to go offline. I feel bad about owing money, ugh..."
"Isn't it normal to borrow some money after getting such a big ship?"
He shook his head and said without any seriousness, "You have to work harder, otherwise you won't be able to pay your salary."
"Haha, come on, come on, hurry up..."
After he reached the helm and looked out at the endless sea, he grinned happily.
There are still several ships that can be seen in the surrounding waters. When that ship goes to the deep sea, there probably won't be many ships left.
He stayed at sea for another three days before Father Ye came again.
This time his father was much happier than he was and kept saying that the boat was a good purchase.
"If you have money, you can buy three or four more boats like this. Then you can build a fresh-harvest boat. You won't have to earn the money from outsiders."
Ye Yaodong looked helpless. His father was obviously shocked when he heard about one hundred thousand yuan a few days ago, but now he dared to think about it.
"First of all, those instruments are probably imported; secondly, a slight modification would cost hundreds of thousands; thirdly, are you prepared to sponsor me?"
Father Ye glared at him, "You'd better sort out the boat first."
"This is not what you said. If you learn from these boats, you will make money for yourself, and you don't need to make money for outsiders."
"Just wait until you have time to work."
Father Ye stopped talking. He couldn't explain it.
Ye Yaodong thought that he would go back directly after the cabin was full again, so he did not change the situation with his father.
I just asked how much I sold it for last time, and I mentally estimated how much I could earn this time.
If you can owe less money, you can owe less money. You still have to make up the payment first.
I would rather have the cargo ship delivered to the shipyard a few days later than pay the goods to several ships first. After all, I didn't inform them in advance.
In the past, every time I came back from the shore, I would settle the account after all the goods were sold.
The debt A Guang owes is not that urgent. I guess A Guang would rather keep the money with him to reduce risks.
Anyway, he will definitely not default on the bill.
By the time he settled everyone's payments, saved eight thousand, and sent the cargo ship to the shipyard, it was already after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Moreover, the advance payment for the renovation was 8,000, and he was instantly pauper again.
He couldn't help but sigh. He had so much money before that he had no place to hide it, and he was worried every day about having to hide a lot of money everywhere.
Now it's better, my family's financial resources have been emptied, and I'm saddled with foreign debts. If I have some money, I have to invest it again.
"When will the hairtail season come? I'm so poor that I'm crazy."
Ye Yaodong had just paid the money and couldn't help but sigh as soon as he returned to the rental house.
At this time, it had just passed the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we had not yet gone to sea. The people were very concentrated, and everyone had opened several tables to play cards.
After hearing his emotional words, he stopped playing cards in his hand, turned to look at him, shook his head and continued playing.
In the past half month, he has thought about it several times.
No one believed that he was really poor and crazy.
The boats were all there, it was obviously in Versailles, and if he was so poor, they would all have to beg for food.
Capital is not worthy of comfort.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and continued to play their own cards, leaving him complaining for no reason.
Father Ye said: "After the weather gets cooler, the number should gradually increase. Isn't it said that it can last for three months? It should be about the same."
"Look, when the number of hairtail fish increases, it will be easier to bring them all to the factory, and I won't have to sell them on the dock for a long time. It's not that easy to sell such a large quantity."
Those fishermen begged the fishmongers to collect them, and a large amount of fish was landed every day. How could anyone buy overnight fish?
There is not enough to sell, and some can only be kept for pickling and drying by oneself. Most of the fishermen who catch here have saved a large amount of dry goods and pickled goods.
Some can be sold, but some cannot be sold, so not having a perfect trading market is also fatal.
He was thinking that if he went back during the Chinese New Year, he would bring a few ships back with spot goods, which would save trouble.
Ye Yaodong took another accounting book from the house and flipped through it, and then flipped through the recent inventory.
"The number of hairtails has indeed increased, and it will probably increase slowly."
"It's cold in winter, so if you take them directly to the factory, you can save yourself some trouble."
"It's getting colder now, and it's not suitable for everyone to sleep on mats and pavements on the floor every day. While I'm not working in the afternoon, I'd like to go out and buy some quilts. I wonder if there are any ready-made ones."
Father Ye nodded, "You really have to buy it in advance. There are so many of us. When the weather gets colder, we won't be able to buy it."
"Then let's go shopping in the afternoon."
There are many people from out of town here, and there are all supporting services. There are even some grocery stores here and there are many restaurants, which are specially designed to serve these fishermen from out of town.
But it wasn't completely cold yet, and he didn't see anyone selling quilts. He probably had to book in advance, so he could get it early, and he also had to prepare some winter cotton clothes.
Everyone originally thought that they would be able to go back around the National Day, so they didn’t bring thick clothes, let alone quilts, and went out with just a roll of straw mats.
He felt that this was all because of his temporary change. No one had prepared anything, so it would be okay for him to provide it.
As a reward for everyone's hard work during this period, each person made two sets of winter clothes.
However, the quilts are still owned by the public, and they can be used later if they are moved to a large cargo ship or placed in a factory in the city.
While going out for a walk, Ye Yaodong also bought some daily necessities, which would consume a lot of money due to the large number of people.
There is basically no ticket required at the port here. There is a dazzling array of goods that you can buy with money. You have everything you want, and they are openly displayed everywhere, and there are also special markets.
Wherever there are people, there is consumption, not to mention the fishermen who come here to make money. They make money really fast and their wages are really high.
In order to earn money from foreign fishermen like them, there is a special street near the pier with red lanterns hung on them.
From the street to the end of the street, it is blatant and no one cares.
Not just at night, Ye Yaodong could also see women standing in a row on the street when passing by during the day.
Many fishermen stay away from home for several months and come here whenever they dock. Except for the occasional gamble, they basically spend all their money here. After all, they are young adults in need.
When Father Ye passed by, he couldn't help but glance at him several times. He saw some people laughing and hugging each other, chatting about women, and saying that they would have a good time later.
He muttered, "This... body is still dirty, so I ran here in a hurry..."
"I'm so depressed."
"You don't make enough money for them to spend on women. Fortunately, you didn't pay them all your salary, otherwise they wouldn't be able to explain it when they go back."
"Last month I paid a month's salary, and some of it has been spent and I've started to make advances."
Father Ye shook his head and said nothing.
Ye Yaodong didn't have the nerve to make fun of his father, and planned to see what he needed and buy it.
"What are you looking at here?"
Ye Yaodong turned around and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going out some time ago?"
Zhang Rensu said with a smile: "I should have gone out two days ago, but it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I waited until the festival was over before setting off. I went out to buy some things today and left tomorrow."
He glanced again at the street where the father and son were standing, and gave them a meaningful look.
"This place is not very good and not clean. You can find another place."
"ah?"
Father Ye responded instinctively, "Where to change?"
"Shall I take you there?"
"No, no, no!" Ye Yaodong was extremely embarrassed. What is this?
"We also came out to buy something, we were just passing by."
"I understand, I will be away from home for several months..."
Father Ye's face turned red. He felt that he had answered the question too quickly, so he quickly explained, "I was just passing by and took a few glances out of curiosity."
"hehe……"
Ye Yaodong changed the subject, "Where are you going on this trip? Or are you going to our place?"
"I will probably go to the area around your provincial capital, and then go to Ganzhou. There are several routes, and I should also pass through your city."
"Can you help me take some photos back?"
"photo?"
"Yes, I miss my family a little. I happened to have taken some photos intermittently recently and developed them. If it's convenient for you, please help me take the photos back."
"Okay, no problem. If you don't go, I'll return it to you when the time comes."
"Alright."
"Since you have a break today and don't go to sea, why don't we go play together in the evening?"
"drink wine?"
"right."
"Okay, where is it and what time is it?"
"Charming Karaoke, 7pm, do you know where it is?"
Ye Yaodong nodded, "I know, the only ones who still know."
That is to say, they go to sea day by day and have no energy. Unless it rains, they can only take a few extra days to rest. However, there are not enough people to gather together, and there is no fun with the boatmen, otherwise a few of their friends would have gotten in there long ago.
He's not very interested either. Today's karaoke is too crude.
It was because of Zhang Rensu's invitation that he thought about going there to get closer and maybe make a few more friends.
"Okay, I'll introduce you to a few friends then. I'll leave first so I won't disturb your shopping."
"OK."
After the others left, Ye Yaodong said to his father: "I finally know who Cheng Ha looks like?"
Father Ye was a little confused, why are you talking about this?
"Isn't he like your elder brother?"
"Like you, you are a bit stupid because of inheritance."
"How do you talk?"
"My second brother is the same, sometimes he can be honest and foolish."
"That's outrageous!" Father Ye walked forward quickly with a straight face.
He hurriedly followed, "The same goes for Ye Chenghu. It seems to be passed down from generation to generation. It's passed down from generation to generation. Dad, your genes are so powerful. Even Aqing and I can't change it even if we are so good. I don't know if I can be smarter when I grow up."
.”
Father Ye raised his feet and wanted to take off his liberation shoes and hit him.
"Dad, this is on the street, street, street!"
Ye's father held the shoe in his hand angrily, stared at it, and had no choice but to put it on again, but he couldn't stand still and was hopping and dangling on one foot.
Ye Yaodong laughed happily.
He had wanted to complain for a long time, but he finally said it openly.
"Dad, were you embarrassed just now?"
"Stop being upset and go back quickly. What time is it? You are still wandering around here. You have bought everything and you still have to go shopping."
"Are you angry with shame?"
Ye Yaodong glanced down at his father, and when his father reached out to hit him, he quickly took a step back.
Father Ye strode forward and ignored him.
"Wait a minute, how many pairs of socks should I buy? I have no socks. I washed them and they disappeared. Those bastards must have stolen them and put them on..."
"Dad, why are you angry? Why don't I take you with me tonight? Don't be angry."
Father Ye turned to glare at him and cursed in local dialect.
Ye Yaodong smiled and followed with the basket, "Don't leave, I have no money. If you don't buy me socks and don't follow me at night, then give me money."
Father Ye was angry again, "Oh, you just want me to give you money by saying all this."
"Otherwise? I have no money."
"Debt collector, he invited you to drink, and he still wants you to pay?"
"Then I'm too embarrassed to spend it in vain. If he invites me to drink, I can buy one or two boxes appropriately."
"Make money, make money, where did your money go?" Father Ye walked forward minding his own business.
Ye Yaodong followed behind, "You asked me to buy a fleet some time ago. When I got back, I told them that you asked me to buy it. You also asked me if I wanted to buy a car."
"you……"
Chapter completed!
