Ye Yaodong's interest-free loans have just been verbally reserved for several boats, and the boatmen have already begun to work hard.
If I could be the boss of a ship, one year of work would probably be worth five years of work.
The next day, as soon as the father and son got up, the boatmen asked them when they would go to sea again.
Father Ye just smiled and said to rest for a day, replenish supplies, and go to sea again tomorrow morning.
Ye Yaodong also laughed and scolded them, "I haven't seen you so active usually. Let's take your turn, just like before."
"Hehe, we were very diligent before, and we did whatever we were asked to do..."
"Let's go out for a while and go to the shipyard to take a look at the ship. We'll come back at noon. You guys take care of the house. If you have nothing to do, go fetch more water and chop."
Everyone responded quickly.
The shipyard didn't come out with the design draft agreed upon yesterday so quickly. Today, the father and son could only look around and take a look at the cargo ship.
Father Ye also started working.
The whole morning I squatted beside me with great interest and watched the masters at work. I also acted as a small laborer to help the masters, and also helped with the moving and lifting. I didn't show any concern at all.
Moreover, the work he does is not on his own cargo ship.
I stayed there all morning and still enjoyed it, and when I left, I was still thinking about coming over to help after lunch.
Ye Yaodong was speechless. His father acted as if he had never done any work.
"Aren't you tired?"
"What's so tiring? It's just a little lifting work. What's so tiring?"
"If you want to work so much, you might as well come here and work as a part-time worker."
"What is an hourly worker?"
"The wages are calculated by the hour."
"This is okay, but will they accept it? Am I a little too old?"
"Damn, I just said it casually, do you still take it seriously?"
"I just want to see how they build the boat, and then I can help out."
"Then if you want to come in the afternoon, you can come by yourself. I won't come with you. Anyway, just watch it this morning."
"Then if you don't come, I definitely won't come either."
"I thought you hadn't worked for too long and wanted to work again."
"I want to farm, but there is no place to farm..."
Ye Yaodong was too lazy to talk to his father.
Father Ye was still thinking, "Then I will go out for a walk in the afternoon, pick up a few pieces of broken wood, come back and take a look, make a wooden box and get some soil..."
He originally thought his father was talking about it. After all, he had said the same thing last month, but he didn't see him going out to pick up wood.
However, this time his father was not talking too much.
At noon, after he calculated the accounts of several boats with everyone, he went to take a nap.
When he woke up, he looked at the pile of broken wooden boards at the door, and some of them could even see the shadow of the desk door panels.
He stretched and yawned widely.
"Where did you pick it up? Others didn't take it back and burn it. How could they keep it for you to pick up?"
"Haha, didn't you buy that garbage dump? I had nothing to do. I thought I'd look at the factory, but I haven't looked at the land yet. I'm going to go there in the afternoon to see how big the land you bought is. What's the size of the land?
I really picked up a lot.”
After speaking, Father Ye paused for a moment, then mysteriously moved his head to his side and said, "Let me tell you, I also picked up a gold ring, and I am the boss."
Ye Yaodong was surprised, "Can you still pick up gold?"
"Yes, I was so happy when I picked it up. I was afraid of being seen by others, so I ran back immediately. Then I couldn't sit still after thinking about it, so I asked someone to go over and look through it together. I just picked up these pieces of wood and came back. Others had some
I also found some money."
"Fuck, that garbage dump is still a treasure?"
"Isn't that right?" Father Ye smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyesight. "This place must be good. It can turn out money and gold. It can't be wrong."
"As expected..."
It's true that sanitation workers often pick up pie from the sky.
There are stalls on the pier and around. How much transaction volume is there? It is normal for someone to drop money. No one noticed it. If they are all cleaned up together, there must be a lot of money dropped there.
If you don't mind it being disgusting, I might be able to find something if I look around there.
"How much money did everyone else get?"
"Some of them picked up one or two cents, or even a few cents, but they didn't see the big money. No, they picked up money. They also saw the gold I picked up. They were all jealous and addicted, and they couldn't bear to come back. They were still there.
Turn it over."
"No wonder I said I didn't work today, but no one was playing cards at the door. I thought the sun was coming out in the west."
There are one or two tables of card games set up in front of his house every day, and there are people taking over from morning to night, not to mention that they all came back yesterday.
No wonder he slept so well at noon and didn't feel any noise.
Father Ye laughed, stood up and pulled him into the house, "Let me show you the gold ring I picked up."
"Everyone else is still looking there, why did you come back?"
"I couldn't straighten my back, and I was a little dizzy from being exposed to the sun, so I thought I'd come back to have a rest, drink some water, and take the wood back to wash and dry it."
As Father Ye spoke, he took out a large gold ring from his pocket. He put it to his lips and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he wiped it with his sleeve before giving it to Ye Yaodong to look at.
Ye Yaodong took it and flipped it back and forth, looking at it. There were teeth marks on it, probably from his father's secret bite.
He said with a smile: "Shit, you are very lucky. Now I don't have to buy gold for you. I just need to buy it for your mother, my mother, and my wife."
"What? What did you say?"
"I thought it would be half a year since I came out this year. When I go back in two months, I will buy you all some gold, gold rings, gold bracelets, and gold necklaces. I will buy some as I see fit. I will make a lot of money when I go back and make the whole family happy."
Father Ye's eyes widened as he listened, and he snatched the gold from his hand, "Then what I picked up belongs to me. How can you mix these two things together?"
"Don't you already have these? Several women in the family don't have them yet. Originally, it was their women who liked these gold and silver."
"Who said that? I like it too. Who doesn't like this golden color?"
"Just forget it if you have it."
Ye Yaodong said as he walked out. He almost made his father anxious. He was not so happy even with the gold ring in his hand, so he hurriedly followed him.
I really want to say something, but I can't let go of my old face.
After Ye Yaodong finished teasing his father, he looked at the time on his wrist and realized that it was still early after 3 o'clock. He also planned to go to the garbage dump to have a look, leaving only Ye's father who was no longer so happy.
However, he met a bunch of dirty boatmen halfway, some were grinning, some were sighing, and most of them were holding strange things in their hands.
"Come back from work?"
"Haha, I'm back. It stinks too much. There are too many bugs and flies. Come back and rest and wash up first."
"where you go?"
"I wanted to see you guys rummaging through the trash, but they're all back, so let's go back." Ye Yaodong also turned around and walked back.
However, he stood a little further away from them. They all smelled bad, and the rain boots under their feet were all stuck with something, which made them feel sick just looking at them.
Each one seemed to have found a treasure, talking about how much money they had picked up. Some even picked up a lot of money. Some also picked up some copper wires and some iron pieces. They watched and picked up tatters.
There is no difference.
Only two or three people returned without success, and the others were able to pick up some useful junk, which was a bit funny to watch.
"The garbage dump is a good place, isn't it?"
"Yeah, except that it's a little dirty, smelly, and has a lot of bugs, everything else is fine."
"Hahaha……"
Ye Yaodong was a little nervous, "When I use this land next year, I will ask you to clean it up. You can search and dig for treasures with your salary."
"Haha, your father picked up a gold ring in the afternoon, so everyone followed him. Anyway, it's idle."
"fine."
However, his father probably won't be happy now, right?
Ha ha.
He had had the idea of ​​buying gold for his family for a long time, but until something unexpected happened, he could only talk about it.
Before leaving, he thought about letting Ah Qing watch. If the twins turned one year old, his mother would definitely have to buy gold for the twins. He asked her to buy some as she saw fit.
I guess since he didn't ask, Ah Qing definitely didn't take it seriously either.
It just so happened that I had been out for so long, so I had to bring some gifts back for the Chinese New Year. I made a lot of money during this trip, so I bought a few things for them to stay at home.
Of course, his father is also indispensable. He has been helping him all the time without a single complaint. He has done everything he can to help him.
I was just teasing the old man a little bit, and I'll give him a surprise when the time comes.
After the boatmen returned, they were all talking about it. They were very happy and envious of Father Ye. It also aroused his mood, made him smile again, and made him happy.
Father Ye also generously took out the gold ring, showed it to everyone, so that everyone could be envious, and then put it on his middle finger.
Even when I eat, I still carry it on my right hand that holds the chopsticks.
Every time he stretched out, everyone could see the gold ring on his finger, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but chase his hand.
It's also quite scheming.
Ye Yaodong was secretly amused when he saw it. He estimated that if he bought one for his mother, the old couple would have to eat like this in the future.
If I buy another gold bracelet, it will be terrible. I won’t even be able to put down my sleeves.
When he went to bed at night, his father reluctantly took off the ring, then turned his back to him, without saying a word, probably still sulking.
It was only after he asked his father to talk about tomorrow's sailing that his father started to communicate with him normally again.
He will also go to sea the next day, and he has to go out to collect shrimps. It will be two days until tomorrow morning, so he and his father will go out to collect them.
If you wait for the next wave, you can continue to collect these items from your own village.
However, I don’t know if he had used up all the sunny days some time ago, so he went to sea to collect two
While we were on our way, it started to rain heavily and the wind picked up.
He didn't know what was going on at sea. The boats had all returned to port, so he could only wait for news at home. If he didn't come back the next day, he would have to go to sea again to receive the goods.
Fortunately, there was no need to wait for him to go to sea again. Father Ye and the others calculated the time and came back early after the warehouse was full.
When you go out, be more careful, and you will not go wrong. There will be wind and rain, and you would rather earn less to ensure that you come back safely.
With the rainfall, the weather also cooled down rapidly.
An autumn rain and a cold.
During the rainy period, we also went to the meeting time set by the Vancouver Chamber of Commerce in advance. Ye Yaodong also went there on time wearing a raincoat that afternoon.
This time, there were a lot more people. It looked like there were more than 20 people, which only lasted about ten days.
Probably because it was a rainy day, the fishing boats were coming back one after another, so this time there were all the people there, and most of them were new faces to him.
It was also the first person who was present at the meeting, and he was relatively familiar with Li Shouquan. After all, he had received and sold goods many times, and the transactions were relatively pleasant.
He also made a key appearance at the meeting and was introduced as the vice president of the Fisheries Association.
On this trip, he even brought his ID with him, just to prove it like a stranger.
Because he has also heard that many people join the Chamber of Commerce for talents who have a vice president of the association, and feel that it is more reliable and worthy of trust.
As for him, he seemed to be relatively young and could not prove his words, so he thought of bringing a small book to prove himself and put it into practice.
Although he does nothing and is just a mascot, for many people, he is a reassuring agent and a cohesive force.
The official identity is always more convincing and more valuable.
After the meeting, no one was in a hurry to leave. Everyone just introduced themselves again. After the meeting, everyone contacted each other with their target people.
Ye Yaodong also chatted with several familiar or new people.
He hesitated for a moment and then talked to everyone about the interest-free loan.
However, he also emphasized that as a foreigner here, it is difficult to get an interest-free loan. If you return to your hometown sometime, you can consult the local bank.
This interest-free loan is an opportunity for many people to take off, but most people have definitely never heard of it.
He had never heard of it in his previous life, and it was only later in his life that he learned how many big guys had taken off because of this.
The fact that these people from Wenzhou City can come out to make a career in the city can originally show that they have some courage. If given a chance, they may be able to soar into the sky or develop better.
From now on this will all be a favor.
Anyway, he just tells a piece of news or sells a favor. They will decide what to do.
The meeting was originally over, but when he heard the news, everyone concentrated on listening to him and asking him questions.
When everyone heard that he had borrowed 200,000 yuan, everyone was in an uproar, and their mouths were so open that they could fit an egg in.
After I recovered, I admired him very much. I originally thought he was young and looked down upon him, but I was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
But when I heard him talk about this loan, it was well-founded and true, so I believed most of it, and I felt that people should not be judged by their appearance.
In my heart, I forgot about his age and felt a little more in awe.
Everyone hesitated to borrow 100,000 yuan, but he directly loaned 200,000 yuan. Everyone couldn't help but admire him.
Ye Yaodong did not expect that because he borrowed 200,000 yuan, he would directly become the idol of everyone in the chamber of commerce.
It’s not because he has many boats, nor is it because he is the vice president of the Fisheries Association!
At the same time, the atmosphere of the meeting was also pushed to a high point, and everyone could not help but have greater confidence in the development of their chamber of commerce...
Ye Yaodong was surrounded by everyone at the same time, and he could only continue to talk.
"Anyway, I found out by accident, and my friends helped me. As for everyone's plan, you should weigh it yourself and discuss it with your family. What I said is just my personal opinion, and what I did was just a personal behavior and is for reference only.
"
"If there are any consequences, I will not be responsible. I have to tell everyone about this. Our chamber of commerce originally exchanged information and helped each other."
"You just have to decide for yourself. Everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. I only provide information. You'd better not be influenced by the outside world and think about it yourself."
Everyone nodded quickly and said that they accepted this sentiment. As for whether they should do it or what plans they had, they would think about it themselves.
For all their actions, whether good or bad in the future, they will be responsible for themselves.
Ye Yaodong's move also gained him some prestige. He was able to borrow 200,000 yuan and dared to borrow 200,000 yuan, which in itself shows that he is very capable.
Moreover, having so many ships on hand also shows that he has strong funds and an officially certified identity, so dealing with him will definitely be more secure.
Even the boss of the ship came to him and wanted to collect the goods from him. There were also two businessmen who wanted to establish a long-term supply and demand relationship with him, so they treated it as a way of selling face and making good friends.
Ye Yaodong didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. He felt a little worried for a moment. He felt that if he developed more, one fresh harvesting boat would suddenly be insufficient.
Now he can still receive orders, and there are only two more ships of goods. They will definitely not come in and out at the same time as his fishing boats. There is definitely no problem in staggering the time. Moreover, a businessman just came to him again.
But, since we have just met, you still have to be a little wary. Who knows if you are trying to seduce him or set him up?
Anyway, he now has many ships, not least these two ships, and there is only one fresh-harvest ship. If there are more ships, he is worried that he will be too busy.
He didn't feel comfortable handing it over to the workers. After all, these were all transactions in cash, so how could he hand over a lot of money to the boatmen.
After he regretfully refused, his mind turned away.
Now that I'm not familiar with it, he won't pick up the ship casually, but in the future he will definitely not be able to do everything himself, and he will definitely have to hire someone to do it.
He can train the people first, and after he gets familiar with these fishing boats, he can directly send the boats out to collect the goods and weigh them without using cash.
When he didn't go to sea, he would wait at the dock to pick up the goods. Anyway, he must know the time when the fishing boats go to sea, and the docking points are also fixed.
He only needs to arrange transactions, receive cargo orders and shipping orders, and then ask these ships to come to him for reconciliation and payment after they dock.
Anyway, the merchants are ready-made. He only needs to provide transportation and go to sea to collect the goods from these ships. The merchants will collect them on the shore, so there is no need to worry about unsalable goods.
But it’s probably hanging this year.
Trust also takes time to build.
This is also the plan for the future.
Ye Yaodong chatted with people from the Chamber of Commerce and went out to have dinner together before going back.
He gained a lot from this meeting, and it was not in vain that he braved the heavy rain to go there.
So it’s not that there are no resources, it’s that the resources are not integrated. Once they are integrated, it will be mutually beneficial.
When he went back in the evening, he also told his father about this matter.
Father Ye didn’t know what to say.
It's good to say good things, but the risks also increase.
"Originally, I thought you would just join in and have fun, but now it seems that you are really mixed in."
"It doesn't matter, just think of getting to know more people. Even if I suffer a loss, I should be able to bear it now, and it'll be fine. It would be good to have more businessmen trading with us. Anyway, I refused the fishing boat."
"Well, don't agree casually to people you don't know well. Who knows if they are coming for you and want to set things up for you. On the sea, if someone has a good intention, you can also call the sky, but the sky will not respond, and the earth will not respond.
"
"That's what I think. I would rather not make this money, but I have to ensure my own safety first. I can only accept it after eliminating the harm."
The best thing is that he builds his own fleet and manages all his own people.
Fertilizer and water do not flow to outsiders, and the safety factor is higher.
It's almost time now. After the interest-free loan is obtained, the shipyard can start construction. Next year he will have his own fleet, which will completely belong to him and everything will be at his command.
After a few years of accumulation and more advanced ship technology, it will no longer be a dream to spend a lot of money to build a deep-sea fleet.
"You have made a lot of money now. Don't take risks. It's best not to get too close to those people. Who knows who they are. After all, we are not from Vancouver City."
"I know, I know it well."
Father Ye sighed in his heart and didn't say much. He was almost 30 years old and was even more powerful than him. What else could he say? At most, he would help more when needed.
It rained heavily for five or six days, and the temperature dropped lower every day.
It’s almost November, and everyone is already wearing sweaters and thick coats.
They each bought wool for the sweaters and asked nearby women or elderly people to help knit them for a little wages.
Fortunately, Ye Yaodong reminded them in advance so that they could put them on in time.
As for the cotton-padded jackets he ordered, he took advantage of the rainy days and had nothing to do, so he went to get them and distributed them to everyone.
All we need now is quilts, which can be obtained in less than two days.
Everyone is already shivering from the cold when sleeping at night, but if you have thick clothes and cotton-padded jackets, you can cover them up, so you can deal with it casually.
Taking advantage of the rain these past few days, and it was almost the end of November, Ye Yaodong called several boats together and planned to settle the accounts in advance.
Who knows when the rain will stop? If it stops, everyone will have no rest. We can settle the accounts in advance and go out to sea on a sunny day.
After all, he has 16 ships to put out. When the accounts are settled at the end of each month, it is also a huge project that takes at least half a day.
If I made a mistake in my calculations, I would have to waffle for a long time.
These dozen trawlers are definitely not as good as the Dongsheng, but they are much better than at home.
When trawling for a day at home is very common, you can only sell it for thirty or fifty. If you are lucky, you can get sixty or seventy, but you still have to take away 1/3 of the gas money and share half of it with him. But even so, it is better than going out.
Work part-time, or become a boatman.
It's different here. Every day the sales are at least 100, and now it's a busy season, sometimes it can be as high as 200.
This is because the price of fish is low due to the busy season, and many times it is unsalable and cannot be sold, so the fish can only be sent to him at a discounted price to dry.
After all, these ship owners have to go to sea every day, and they have a limited number of workers to go to sea with. They have no time to deal with these unsalable fish products.
In other words, Ye Yaodong has enough manpower. Even if he goes out to sea, there are only 6 people on the Dongsheng. If he takes two small boats, there are still about ten people at home. When he goes on the fresh boat, he still has six or seven people to help, and there are still seven or eight people left at home.
Those at home also have to work, basically killing fish, drying fish, and cooking. After that, they can do whatever they want. No manpower is wasted at all.
Ye Yaodong could send some goods to the factory, but generally the rest of the goods could only be used to dry.
The ones that are easy to sell can be sold early.
After all, the goods in the trawl are too miscellaneous, which is why there are so many unsalable items.
Some of these fishing boats can harvest more than 100 yuan a day, and sometimes the goods can be sold for more, up to 200 yuan. Of course, there are occasional breaks. No one can stand the high-intensity work.
But accumulated over a month, the selling price of a boat is about 2,000 yuan, and there are several boats with as much as nearly 3,000 yuan.
After all, there are still three or four days before the end of the month, and it's raining again. If it hadn't rained, all the boats would have been priced at more than 3,000 yuan.
So when we settled the accounts at night, although everyone was happy, they also felt a little sad.
After all, after arriving in Zhoushi, Ye Yaodong let them independently manage the boat he rented and let them sell their own goods.
How can he have the energy to collect their goods one by one and then set up stalls to sell them? It's not like there are more than a dozen ships all coming in and out at the same time.
If he really wanted to collect all the goods from the boat and sell them himself, then he wouldn't have to do anything. He would have to blow the cold wind on the dock from morning to night. No matter how many people there were, he couldn't do it.
He could save a lot of trouble by letting them handle these goods independently, and he would rather turn a blind eye and regard it as a subsidy.
Anyway, these people who chartered the boat were basically not his cousins, and they were also the first to follow him.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish.
There are more than a dozen boats comparing there, and no one dares to go too far. If the gap is too big, it will also make people suspicious, and then the gains outweigh the losses.
After all, we are still in Zhou City and we still have to rely on him to survive.
Due to the typhoon last month, there was not as much cargo as this month. Sixteen ships only allowed him to share 15,000 yuan, an average of more than 900 yuan per ship, but this month it was more.
He was holding a list of snails in his hand, which they had brought over.
The cargo manifest corresponding to each ship was pinned up with a clip, and he calculated the accounts based on the cargo manifest they brought over. The top bill stated how much each ship should pay him.
After calculating their account numbers, everyone responded with a smile and said they would go back and get the money right away.
But Ye Yaodong could also see how heartbroken each of them was.
After all, half of the money he received had to be spit out. In the past, the money passed through his hands and he would then take it and divide it. The feeling here was different.
One is taking out and the other is taking in, the difference is huge.
Ye Yaodong held the order in his hand, pressed it on his calculator, and waited for them to come over with the money.
In total, a total of 21,631 yuan and 6 cents were divided.
Chapter completed!
