Li Shouguan happily walked out with Ye Yaodong.
"This looks so standardized? They even give out membership cards? It seems pretty reliable? It's pretty good. What were you worried about when you came here? I didn't expect it to be pretty good."
"It's not bad. Now if you do it alone, it will look good. Then the government will have to get involved, and then you will have prestige."
By then it will no longer be a small organization, it may become a large chamber of commerce.
“Can the government still participate in a small organization like ours?”
"Don't underestimate it. If you want to manage the dock well in the future, you may have to rely on these small private organizations."
"That's true. I heard that there are various small groups or gangs on the dock."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. You can go to sea. Remember to come over for a small meeting after dinner in a week. By the way, you can also get to know more people. We are all fellow villagers in the same place. Let's keep in touch and get familiar with each other.
From now on, we can help each other with anything."
"Okay, thank you. Let's go first. Also, we have eight ships. We are going to sea now. You probably have to come over to collect the goods before tomorrow night, and then you have to collect the goods once in a day and a half to two days.
, otherwise the goods would probably have to be piled on the deck.”
"no problem."
"Then it will be a pleasure to cooperate."
Ye Yaodong smiled and exchanged greetings with him, and then the two of them went their separate ways.
After he returned, he went to see the old lady of the landlady again, chatting with her and asking about the house. The old lady of the landlady cheerfully said that she would ask more questions for him.
Anyway, he had nothing to do at the moment. It was almost time for dinner and it was not suitable to go out, so he continued to chat with the old man.
Listen to the old man talk about ancient times, the appearance and strange things of Zhou City in the past.
Sometimes the stories told by the elderly are quite interesting, and you can listen to what happened in the era before you were born.
The old man talked happily, and he listened with interest, which made the old man even more satisfied.
In the afternoon, he went to the shipyard again, not only to check the progress of his cargo ship, but also to learn more about other steel fishing boats.
The network he has now expanded can already support his fresh-picking ship to go out to collect goods every day.
Apart from Pei's father's troubles, there is nothing to worry about at sea.
This is not a big deal. Pei's father still has to lie in bed for two days to recuperate, which is just enough for him to get through this embarrassing period and give his old face some relief.
As for the interest-free loan, he couldn't rush it. He had to inquire about the house first. As for the land, he had his eye on a small piece of land.
It's not far from the dock and very close to here, just two or three acres.
It looked like that area should have been a wasteland originally, because it was close to the pier and nothing could be grown. Now it is filled with residents' domestic garbage and the garbage from the pier.
Although it can be said to be a garbage dump, who knows how close it is to the pier!
So there is no planning. After planning, what will happen to the small garbage dump?
As long as there is no need to do anything, the land here will gradually become valuable.
Moreover, he also felt that rental houses could be built directly here, which would be more profitable.
Or you can create a whole small market. There are too many crowds of vendors on the pier, so this is a business opportunity.
But he has no capital now, and he doesn't want to stay here for a long time. Even if he buys it, he can only leave it there first.
I have heard from lay people before that the government wants to regulate a trading market, but I don’t know how well it will work.
He had said that he wanted to buy the land two days ago, and was now waiting for them to weigh it before making an offer.
He didn't know what to say or how much the offer was. He planned to wait two days before asking again. Otherwise, if he was too eager, what if he was killed?
He just saw that there was a garbage dump there, and the land was not big. The price was definitely not expensive now, and there were ruins everywhere.
When he went to talk, he also showed his certificate as the vice-president of the Vancouver Fisheries Association. Everyone's attitude was pretty good, so he thought it wouldn't be a big problem.
Anyway, it was just left there, and it was just a garbage dump. He also said that he wanted to use that land to do something, so that he could better build Zhou City.
He would say whatever it sounded like, first coaxing the person to feel comfortable and letting him buy the land.
In this way, he can use it to make a loan. Anyway, he has land. At worst, he can hire a few people to deal with the pile of garbage.
Anyway, the methods are all figured out by people.
He has a strong family now, but it does not mean that he has money on hand. He can still take out interest-free loans if he can. He will definitely repay what is due. If he can get a free boat, he will definitely not miss it.
At that time, with the excuse that the house and land are mortgaged to the government, no one will dare to encroach, and no one will encroach on the garbage dump. It is a win-win situation for him, and everything will be his.
Ye Yaodong has been busy in the past few days, and he has not allowed himself to be idle. He has also arranged everything that should be arranged. He understands everything that needs to be understood. Now he only needs to wait for the news.
The night before he went to sea to collect shrimps, he went to some merchants in Wenzhou and asked them if they wanted goods for the next day. Everyone thought about it and made a reservation.
Several thousand kilograms of fresh dried shrimps have been ordered. Although it is not much, it is not bad.
This kind of drying can be stored for a longer time and is more popular.
Since this trip he not only had to collect shrimps, but also had to collect all the cargo from several Dongsheng ships, so they set out at night instead of waiting until daytime as before.
Ye Yaodong also informed the boatmen in advance that this time they would have to make two trips to collect the goods before they could rest.
No one had any objections. It was easy for them to work as a group. About 20 of them took turns boarding the Dongsheng. The rest of them either killed fish at home or took turns going out to sea with the fresh harvest ship.
Compared with other fishing boats, it is so comfortable, there is no objection.
After Ye Yaodong had just sailed a certain distance, he tried to call his father. Shopee would just go there in the afternoon, and his father's goods would be weighed first.
After he entered a channel, Father Ye hurriedly asked: "Dongzi, what's going on with the in-laws? Oh, we're so worried. If you didn't come out today, we would probably have to go back during the day."
His eldest brother and Zhou Laoer also hurriedly asked similar questions.
Ye Yaodong said calmly: "Why are you so anxious? Such a big living person has his own subjective consciousness. It's not like some natural or man-made disaster occurred and caused him to lose contact."
"You all can see that he returned voluntarily on the fishing boat he controlled, so what else is going on? If something goes wrong with the boat, can he still leave?"
"If the boat was fine and something happened, wouldn't he come over to look for you? It's not clear that he just left on his own and deliberately didn't respond to you."
Everyone else in the channel was puzzled, surprised, and quickly asked.
"What is he doing?"
"Did something happen? Why is it like this all of a sudden?"
"Okay, what is he doing? Did he go back that day? Is he at home now?"
Ye Yaodong told them the whole story.
"I'm probably lying at home right now. I'm probably feeling embarrassed. I can't keep my face off. I probably won't go to sea these days. If I want to lose face, he will probably let A Guang take over."
Everyone was silent for three seconds after hearing the reason.
Then Father Ye said: "Hey, why are you so careful? You can already take care of everyone. The fresh-harvest boats on the dock are now busy with a lot of goods due to the busy season. Fish, especially hairtail, are all discounted to 40% off. Other goods are discounted by 40%."
Most of them are about 50% off.”
Ye Yaopeng also said: "You are so generous, but he still wants to increase the price. He is too greedy and goes too far."
Father Ye said again: "I said I saw him driving the boat away without saying a word the day before yesterday. I don't know what happened?"
"When we noticed it, we quickly contacted him urgently, but there was no response at all and we couldn't contact him."
"I wanted to drive the boat to chase him, but the fishing nets were still in the sea. When we collected the fishing nets, he was gone with the boat."
Zhou Laoer also echoed, "Yes, everyone was so anxious at that time. When I chased him, he disappeared, and when I contacted him, he didn't respond. Everyone guessed that he suddenly had something urgent and was in a hurry to go back."
Ye Yaopeng said: "He just received the goods the day before, so he shouldn't have gone back that day. It turned out that he waited until the goods were full the next day before going back."
Father Ye added: "No one thought much about it. No one knew that he had other plans. Then you didn't care about him and accepted his goods. He had no choice but to go back by himself. What's this called..."
Everyone said something to each other, and we talked for quite a while.
"Then what should we do now? That ship won't care about them anymore? The Harvest also has 30% of Dongzi's shares..."
When Father Ye heard what Ye Yaopeng said, his mind flashed, "Does the in-laws think that you earn too much and are unhappy that you still have 30% of the shares in the Harvest? When receiving goods at sea, just take 30% of the shares, and the fishing boats have to divide them again.
What’s the remaining 30%?”
Ye Yaodong said: "Maybe this is also the reason. I feel that I have so many ships, but the Harvest still accounts for 30%. When harvesting at sea, just take away so much, and I have to divide the rest again. I feel exhausted.
Did you do all the hard work for me?"
"Sigh... This partnership has been around since the beginning. How can I see you making money? That's it..."
"Yes. Seeing that the cost of the Harvest has been repaid, I am still dividing the money continuously, but they only got two or three tenths. I must have been unhappy for a long time, right?"
Ye Yaopeng said: "They were the ones who came to find you at that time..."
"That was the time. Now that I have made more money, things have changed. Forget it, leave him alone. It's not me who is embarrassed anyway. In a few days, Aguang will have to take over the ship."
Maybe if Aguang uses the interest-free loan to renovate another boat, they will probably lose the boat and rent it out, and they won't have to work hard anymore, and they can just wait for the dividends.
The newly acquired fishing boat with interest-free loan belongs completely to their Pei family.
He has been a part of Harvest since the beginning, so why should he withdraw to make it easier for him just because they hate him?
Why would he give away the money he earned?
Even if he really wants to discount all his shares, that is not the case now. Why would he want to trade at a loss? He has done nothing wrong.
If he is jealous of how much he earns, he can only endure it, who will allow him to have channels.
When the time comes for the Harvest to be rented out and not put in anyone's hands, I will probably feel happy because I can get the money without having to do anything.
When that time comes, there will be no point in selling. Why should he sell the shares if he keeps the penny? Who would think that the money is too much?
Anyway, in one sentence, he was right.
He also did his best to be kind and righteous.
No one can fault him, they can only give him a thumbs up.
Father Ye was still there with his long beard and sighed, "It's so embarrassing to make such a fuss. How embarrassing will it be in the future?"
"Why are you embarrassed? As long as he is not embarrassed, it will be fine."
"I think this time, after you collect the goods, we will stay at sea for another two days. When the warehouse is full, we will go back to the shore. They are all in-laws. They are all sick. I have to visit them.
If you just say a few words, nothing will happen."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes in the cockpit. His father would really be displeased if he faced Pei's father.
They are all brothers...
They are all friends...
They are all relatives...
They are all from the same village...
None of them are outsiders...
They all have to be humane.
But his father's behavior can indeed reassure more people and make them more trustworthy.
"It's up to you. Just go back and rest. It's been a few days since you came out."
"I thought so too."
Ye Yaodong chatted with them while driving along. He also talked about the current situation on the dock and told them that everything was fine at home, so that they could feel more at ease at sea.
It is inconvenient to receive news at sea, so he can bring everyone news from the shore, so that everyone can fish at sea with more peace of mind and no worries.
This is unmatched by other fishing boats.
There is a sense of security that other fresh harvesting ships cannot provide.
When Ye Yaodong found their ship to receive the goods, Ye's father suddenly remembered to ask.
"That's not right. Why did you come out to collect the goods in the middle of the night? Wasn't it used to be during the day? Then after collecting the goods, you would go to the shore to sell the goods in the evening."
"A few people I know, their fishing boats are for catching shrimps, and they also collect the goods for me..."
"Who is that person? Is it unsafe to ask you to receive the goods when I just met him? You need to inquire more and ask more. Don't think that they are sending money..."
"I have a sense of propriety. I know better than you on the shore. Don't worry."
"There is no such thing as a pie in the sky..."
Ye Yaodong explained to his father, and his father felt relieved, but still told him to be more careful.
"Either when you come out again, come to me first and I'll collect the goods for you?"
"Don't worry, it will be fine. They don't know you. What goods did you go to collect? Don't scare others. You will have to pay for it when the time comes. The other party will only recognize mine."
"Oh, okay then, I'll wait until we meet more on the shore, and we'll get to know each other by then."
Ye Yaodong agreed casually, and after moving all the goods on the ship, he went on to collect another ship.
There are only three boats in total, so the speed will be faster.
However, he saw that after collecting the goods, there was still room on the ship. Although it was not a waste to go back like this, but if he could not collect Li Shouquan's goods in one trip, he would have to make another trip, that is
What a waste of gas money.
So after receiving the goods, he tried to call Li Shouquan on the VH F channel. After being contacted, he went over to collect the goods from their two ships.
Good guy, before he even got close, he saw the entire deck covered in gray, with a touch of light pink, which is the color of shrimp skin.
There are a bunch of workers squatting around, picking up other fish products, and some people are holding buckets to keep loading shrimp skins, and then pouring them into baskets.
"Brother Dong, you can eat fried shrimps and celery tonight."
"Okay, then I'll make a bowl of shrimp skin soy sauce soup."
"It's no good, I should eat shrimp skin and winter melon soup, add some clams, it will be more delicious!"
"Stop talking, I'm already hungry."
"Can you grab a handful of dried shrimp skin when it is sent to the factory? I'll make it with shrimp skin in the evening."
"I also want to eat dried shrimp skin dipped in rice wine with rice."
Ye Yaodong looked at each one with a smile, "Okay, there are so many shrimp skins, you can eat them all."
His fishing boat had already docked not far away, and he had notified Li Shouguan in advance, waiting for them to set up the net, and then come close.
At this time, the fishing boat over there was also picking and approaching him, and the workers on the boat over there were looking at them curiously.
Ye Yaodong watched for a long time, and found that none of them had weapons in their hands, and then he felt relieved and let the two boats line up side by side.
After saying hello, he asked the other party to carry the goods over for weighing. Li Shouquan also climbed over and watched the accounting.
He was assured of Ye Yaodong, but Ye Yaodong was not so assured of him, so when he came over, he had already told him to let the other party come to his boat to check the scale.
Normally, he would send everyone to help with the fishing boats in his village, and they would work together to move the goods from the fish warehouse, sort them out, and then carry them over for weighing.
Anyway, the workers on his ship were always idle and did nothing else while going to sea.
This is my first time working with Li Shouquan, so I can't go wrong with being cautious.
Ye Yaodong lit a cigarette for him, and the two of them chatted together while watching other people moving goods, weighing people, weighing them, and then recording the weight.
"Brother, your harvest is very good. I even want to change the fishing boat to catch shrimp skin instead of hairtail."
"The hairtail fish is valuable. I estimate that the shrimp skin in this boat is only about 30,000 kilograms at most, plus several thousand kilograms of fish and shrimp. The shrimp skin is from the upper layer, so it is difficult to catch much fish. But we all call it shrimp skin.
To make money, everyone comes here just to catch shrimps, and there is no change for the time being.”
"Then Shopee is better and easier to sell."
"Or will you tell the truth? You won't tell lies just for the sake of doing business, and you won't be able to sell it. If I didn't meet the last person, I would smash his mouth if I did."
"Haha, please give a shout to other fishing boats and tell them not to worry. I have already collected my own goods on my boat, and I can't put them away. I have to go back first and come back to collect them on the next trip, probably in the afternoon."
"No problem, you can just enter the channel and notify them when the time comes."
"good."
Ye Yaodong waited for the goods to pass the scale smoothly, and asked them if there was no need to add ice and diesel for the time being. He paid the bill in cash and went back directly.
If they don't own a boat, they must settle it in cash on the spot. The same was true when they were trawling at home.
The people in your village can only keep an order if they can't escape. You can go home to settle the accounts, and you have to pay in advance for the normal harvesting ship, so this is not a guaranteed profit. Natural disasters and man-made disasters also bring a high risk of loss.
After the two boats separated, the boatmen kept whispering in his ears that this time it was reliable.
"Sure enough, it's easier to earn money from outsiders. It's as much as you say. People on your own have to be more considerate and careless."
"that is."
Ye Yaodong also said: "Being able to make money from outsiders with peace of mind is what you and I want. As long as we agree on it in advance, there won't be any big problems."
"Hehe, we have a lot of goods to collect now. It doesn't matter if we don't accept him, we are worried about him."
"You are stupid. The Harvest Company still has 30% of Adong's shares. The loss of the Harvest Company is also his loss."
"That's true. If you go back and talk about it, you can make him angry to death..."
"You don't need to tell him in front of him, everyone can just chat and it will reach his ears. After losing one boat, the boss met eight shrimp boats, and they were all willing to sell them to us at a 50% discount."
"Hahaha... I'll probably be bleeding from anger, so I'll have to lie down for two more days."
Ye Yaodong listened to them all having fun and had a clear-cut camp, so he ignored them.
Anyway, it’s just a joke, a bit of fun, but after we go back, everyone else will definitely know what they need to know. With so many people, how can there be any secrets, and there are many good things.
As for whether he would be so angry that he would stay in bed for two more days, he couldn't guarantee it.
His cargo, plus the two cargoes of Li Shouquan that he just received, are almost enough to be divided among several fishmongers in Wenzhou. The shrimp skin and hairtail can all be taken to the processing factory, which is very convenient.
After finishing processing this boat, he took everyone to a local restaurant for a big meal to celebrate that the fresh harvest boat would make money every day. By then, his income would be doubled immediately.
By the time everyone finished eating and headed out to sea, it was already afternoon again.
Ye Yaodong also saw with his own eyes the scene of these small shrimps floating on the water after nightfall, looking for food. It is truly a wonder that every sea area has its own wonders.
They are all in the same fishing ground. There are many shrimp fishermen in the surrounding area, and they are also gathering places during the flood season.
At a glance, the lights of dozens or twenty ships are flashing there, distributed in all directions on the sea.
Some fishing boats use trawl nets, some use seine nets, some use gill nets, and some use float trawl nets, and there are various methods.
But again, every way, the receipt is huge.
After two trips back and forth, he could see clearly that when the shrimps were lifted up, they really weighed several thousand kilograms in a net bag.
The mesh of the fishing nets used by everyone is extremely small, because the shrimp skin is also small, but it cannot be said to be the Juehu net.
This fishing net only fishes in the upper layer of the water surface and is targeted. Unlike the Juehu net, which trawls at the bottom and catches everything in one catch.
They collected all the docking fishing boats one after another, and then stopped on the sea, waiting for the next boat to collect the net.
Standing on the helm, he could still see the boatmen below excitedly holding hand nets, lying on the edge of the boat, half of their bodies leaning out of the hull to fish for shrimps.
Everyone was fishing there excitedly, and the bamboo baskets were filled with two or three baskets, and some even ate while fishing.
This is the loot they salvaged in their free time while waiting for several ships to receive the goods, and it is also very considerable.
"Eat it now, it tastes more fresh and sweet when it's alive and kicking."
"It's so easy to make money. You can make money even with your eyes closed."
"Looks like I have to work hard to make more money. I can buy one next year and follow the boss over to drink some soup. I can make a fortune."
"Who says otherwise? No wonder there are so many fishing boats here. There are really a lot of goods here."
"Next year, even if you are trying to sell iron, you will have to buy a boat."
Ye Yaodong stood on the helm, listening to the lively chatter below them, thinking that since they all had such plans, next year the cargo ships would probably not have to go out to sea to fish, and could be used directly as harvesting ships.
Collect all the goods from the boatmen...
Anyway, after the transformation, all the necessary trawling equipment will be available, and there will also be a fish warehouse and cold storage. The ship is larger and the space is larger. When the fresh-harvesting ship collects all shrimp skins, there is no need to modify anything, and it can be used as a makeshift one.
These are people who have accumulated wealth by working for him. If they come with him next year, the goods will definitely be collected by him. Regardless of whether there are other people who learn to collect goods from him, priority will definitely be given to him.
Just think about it, it's perfect...
Or you can use the money from the interest-free loan directly to customize fresh boats, which is more profitable.
It would be easier to use both boats to collect everyone's goods. After all, he also has a lot of boatmen.
To be more cruel, if the boatmen who want to build fishing boats don't have the funds on hand, he can invest half of it.
This system seems to have been cultivated for him...
In this way, the 20 people he brought out this year can build 20 boats...
Each ship has half of his shares, and he still has to share the remaining half with the fresh ship, which means these people can only earn 25%.
And the goods have to pass through his hands, no one can try to fake them.
Ship king owners are really going to become capital owners!
Ye Yaodongguang suddenly became a little excited when he thought about it. Why hadn't his mind moved so fast before?
He looked at the boatmen below, his eyes brightening, as if looking at banknotes. These people now seemed to be his wealth.
Moreover, he provided half of the money to support them in buying boats and let them follow him. He was also helping them and leading the collective to get rich!
It was also of great benefit to them. It was easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and he knew some people now.
The cold wind made his mind clearer, and he thought about the piece of garbage land he wanted to buy. Then he might just build a dormitory building to accommodate the whole village, even those from neighboring villages!
Damn it!
His mind suddenly became more active, and he was a little excited just thinking about it.
These people are his wealth.
Ye Yaodong touched the drool that suddenly dripped from the corner of his mouth. He didn't know when, but his mouth was already cracked and he was smiling stupidly.
He patted the railing and said, "Do it! You have to do it!"
"Get the land first, and then get the interest-free loan. We'll do it when we get back tomorrow."
Li Shouquan's ship only carries 30,000 kilograms of goods. In fact, it doesn't have to be every other day and a half, it can be two or three days.
Just because they have many fishing boats, the cargo that the fresh harvesting boats can store and unload is limited, and the load-bearing capacity is also limited. Picking up all their fishing boats is almost enough to return in one trip.
Therefore, Li Shouguan said at that time that he had to come out every day to collect their goods.
After all, his goods are collected by the factory, and these shrimps don’t need to be placed at the dock like other fresh-picking ships. They can be sent directly to the factory, which saves a lot of time.
He could have made two or three trips a day and collected all the cargo from several ships.
Ye Yaodong calculated the time in his mind and planned to take advantage of the fact that he was not far away from Li Shouquan to discuss with him and make several trips over the next two or three days to collect all their goods.
Chapter completed!
