The cargo matter was settled, and Ye Yaodong felt relaxed.
There is no need to worry about shipping the goods the next day.
He waited there all day long. Whenever a boat set up a net, he would move over to collect the goods. Several boats would come in turns, and those who didn't have their turn would continue to trawl nearby without any delay.
Working from morning to night, he packed a total of more than 80 tons of cargo, excluding his own Ocean No. 1.
These boats came out in the early morning of the day before yesterday, and the harvest lasted just over two days. The harvest was average, but this was relatively speaking, and the comparison at home was already very good.
After Ye Yaodong collected all the goods, he contacted his father. He estimated that the current distance was enough to contact him. They were all at the fishing ground. The only difference was the distance.
Sure enough, after shouting on the public channel, he got a response from his father, and the two went to the small channel to talk.
"Dongzi, I've been waiting for you, hurry up, sail over and collect the goods on the ship..."
"How was the catch these two days?"
"It's too much, there's too much cargo. There can be 8 to 10 bales in a net. Most of them are returned to the sea, but there are still 20,000 kilograms left. It's incredible. In the past two days, every net has collected 8 to 10 bales."
There’s so much volume.”
"Damn, there are so many!"
In the past, I usually bought 6 to 8 bags online at home, and one bag usually weighed about 5,000 kilograms. But there were too many miscellaneous items, or there were too many useless goods, so I had to throw away most of them.
Father Ye was beaming at the other end, "Yes, the goods here are too concentrated. In just two days, there are eighty or ninety tons. You have to sail out tomorrow to bring the goods back. Otherwise, you have to collect the goods."
The fresh ship cannot bear more than one hundred tons of cargo."
"I understand, I know. We will sail to pick up the goods early tomorrow morning."
Father Ye laughed happily, "I've made a lot of money. It seems that you have to come out every one or two days."
"I guess if the weather is good, I'll have to go out every day."
"How are the other ships receiving their goods?"
"It will be worse. I see that there are more boats offshore this year, and there are many fishing boats operating on the sea where they fish."
When he went to receive the goods, he stayed on the sea. There were more than a dozen ships as far as he could see, and the flow was quite large. Some were leaving and some were coming, and the plundering was a bit ruthless.
No wonder resources are becoming increasingly depleted.
Zhoushi Fishing Ground is the largest fishing ground in my country, with four major economic fish species: large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, hairtail and cuttlefish (squid) as its main fishery products.
But there are also a lot of other seafood species, including mackerel, moray eel, mackerel, mackerel, pomfret, seabass, snapper, grouper, swimming crab, various shrimps and hundreds more.
It is also a spawning and feeding place for many economic fish and shrimps.
Large fishing boats can basically catch hundreds or thousands of tons of economical fish if they go out to sea for ten and a half days.
Father Ye said proudly: "It's better here than here. There are only four or five boats nearby."
"I will tell them when I return later and ask them to drive farther away."
"Yes, let them find more places to fish, then remember to come out and receive the goods tomorrow morning."
"good."
After Ye Yaodong finished talking to his father, he immediately contacted other ships. After all, the others were not that experienced. Seeing that the current goods received were better than those at home, he was probably very satisfied.
There is no comparison, so naturally they are very satisfied and will not run around. The same goes for him.
I knew that the Yuanyang 1's catch must be astonishing, but I didn't expect that the cargo of this ship was equivalent to the six ships there.
I don’t know what the quality is yet, but the quantity alone is already scary.
In the past, the fishing volume of Ocean One at home was quite large, and there were more and more commercial fish here. It seemed that the harvesting ship would have to come out to collect a wave of goods every day.
One trip is dedicated to collecting the cargo of Ocean No. 1, and one trip is dedicated to collecting the cargo of several other ships. This is not bad, and the profit-making efficiency is higher.
If he is not free at that time, he can hand over the docking of the Ocean 1 to his old cousin. Anyway, it is his own ship and the cargo does not need to be weighed, he can just move it back directly.
The cargo of the other ships still had to be weighed and recorded, and I didn’t know whether his old cousin could write the Chinese characters. Many people knew the Chinese characters but couldn’t write them.
Later, he could ask if there was anyone on board who could write. Then he would have to slowly transfer the work to others.
And he only needs to be responsible for delivering goods and collecting money on the shore, reducing his workload.
When you become the boss, you don't need to do everything yourself. You can just slowly train people and let the workers do it. Anyway, they have several ships with their own people. There is no need for cash transactions, and the people on the ship can supervise each other.
After telling everyone, he went to call his old cousin to come up and sail the ship, while he himself took the book and went to the deck to distribute the goods.
This shipment has basically been secured now, so just go back and dispose of it.
The book records how much each person needs and what kind of fish they want, and he starts to divide it in advance now.
Just talk and let the workers weigh the goods, and when they land, they can call the car to load them and send them off.
By the way, I also asked other people if anyone knew how to write, but none of the older ones really could. They only knew a few limited words.
There are only two younger ones, not yet 20 years old, who can write it down. Ye Yaodong will remember it first and prepares to pick them up in the next few days. After the goods are weighed, these two will take turns writing it down.
The goods will be collected today and delivered to everyone. If the price and quality are satisfactory, we can definitely continue to cooperate and extend the quantity and time for the next batch.
He would deliver it directly at the appointed time, saving them the trouble of purchasing and transporting it.
And he can also give a relatively low price. Anyway, it is his own fresh ship that goes out to collect his own goods (except for one ship, all other ships have shares). A few days ago, he raised the price back to 60%
.
As long as it can save some trouble, make it more convenient, and make some profits, it should be done.
There are abundant resources here. It’s not far away for fishing, and the return journey only takes more than two hours.
Ye Yaodong only weighed part of the cargo and piled it on the deck first. There was not enough space so he did not weigh it and it happened to be docked.
He handed the record book to Lao Biao and asked Lao Biao to arrange for someone to weigh the goods.
He himself went to hire a tractor, loaded the goods that had been weighed on the deck into the truck, and took half of the people to deliver the goods from house to house and collect payment.
He worked until the moon was rising above the willow trees before he finished delivering all the goods in the boat and collected a large bag full of cash.
There was also a small amount left, and he sold it casually for a while. Seeing that there was not much left, and they were all bargains, he just waved his hand and went back.
It's already very late, so I can take the remaining goods back and process them, which saves a lot of people from having to stand around together, and it's hard to sell the small quantity.
Along the way back, the workers were more excited than he was.
"Brother Dong, you must have sold tens of thousands of goods today, right?"
"Each delivery costs hundreds or even thousands of yuan, which is so awesome..."
"Brother Dong, you are really the person I admire most in my life..."
Ye Yaodong covered his bag and banged it: "Everything belongs to me? This is just the money from the sale. When other ships come back, the money from the sale will have to be paid to them."
"You can make some money, but you don't have to spend money on it? Such a big ship has to carry a lot of weight and consumes fuel. The fuel cost for a round trip costs several hundred yuan. It also costs money for your wages, food and drink."
"In the row of buildings on the construction site now, I spent more than 30,000 yuan just to build the houses, and they haven't even been completed yet. I bought tens of thousands more yuan for the land."
Mud, the bank still owes 200,000 yuan. If I don’t make a little more, how will I get the money to fill these holes?”
"I still need to support you. Just the three boats on hand, there are about 30 workers alone. Do you know how much a month's salary is?"
"Only your salary is 5,000 yuan a month! Just refueling the three ships costs 6,000 to 7,000 yuan. Do you know how many times a month you have to refuel?"
"Made, I don't even know how much money I have to spend a month. I only earn so much. I don't know how many years it will take to pay back the 200,000 yuan I owe to the bank."
"You work harder and pray that I can earn more, so that I will have enough money to pay you wages and give you red envelopes by the end of the year."
"I have to go back and count, after deducting the money for this trip, will there be enough money left to finish the work at the construction site? There are still a dozen workers who have not paid their wages when building a house, and the day is coming soon.
Pay the wages."
Everyone was stunned when they heard what he calculated was tens of millions. They couldn't imagine how he could spend so much money.
Give them flowers, they can't even imagine how to spend so much money?
They were still spending pennies and cents, but A Dong was spending tens of thousands at every turn...
"Oh my god, how much money do you earn is enough for me..."
"Your expenses are too high..."
"It will cost so much..."
"Brother Dong is the big boss. Otherwise, how could he hire so many of us to work? It's normal for the expenses to be high. What big boss doesn't have a bunch of people in his hands?"
"This is amazing. That's true. I made this little money today, and it's nothing to Brother Dong..."
"You are so capable. Brother Dong is very familiar with the bosses and even made an appointment to play cards together tomorrow!"
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Let's go, treat everyone to a midnight snack. I have been busy all day, so I just want to have a midnight snack and go home to sleep."
"OK……"
"This is good!"
"There are many stalls on the street next door. They are open from dusk to dawn, and they have everything to eat."
"Let's go, it's not far from home anyway."
The workers were all happy and could eat and drink enough before going back to sleep.
I also thought in my heart that if I followed Ye Yaodong, I would have nothing to say in terms of food, drink and benefits. I would not be stingy or picky, and I would not skimp on this aspect to save money.
Ye Yaodong thought the same way. The only reason to work with him was to make money. If he was more generous, the workers would feel more comfortable working, and they were all members of the same village.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough and returned happily, Ye Yaodong took advantage of everyone taking a shower and went into the house first to count the money.
A large bag full of money was poured onto the straw mat. They were all in round numbers and there were no coins.
He erased all the odd bits and pieces. There were only a few cents, but they were all human heads, and most of them were big ones, so it was very convenient to count them.
In just a short while, he piled up several piles, a pile of 100 cards, took out a special card and clamped the money together horizontally.
When he had enough 10,000 yuan, he used rubber bands to combine several piles of money into one and tied them up with rubber bands.
After counting, the total number is just over 13,500. Compared with the number last year, it is not too much, but it is not bad. After a while, the flood season for hairtail will slowly come. By then, radar nets will be used to catch fish, and the catch will be even higher.
Floor.
He happily counted it again, and after confirming that it was correct, he put it in the lock box and locked it, and then continued to calculate the bill of goods.
You know how much you want to share, so just calculate 40% of the total amount you just sold, which is about 5,000 yuan.
After deducting the gas expenses, the total is about 5,000 yuan. This is the net profit made on this day. This is because there is a lot of fish here and the price is lower than that over there.
Waiting for tomorrow, he will go to sea to collect the goods of Ocean No. 1. Just after delivering the goods to them, a few people have conveniently placed orders for them tomorrow.
Tomorrow's shipment of goods will be even more incredible. All the goods he sells are his own, and he doesn't have to give half of the profit to other fresh-collecting ships.
Ye Yaodong was excited when he thought about it. That boat was really a killer.
Calculating this, if he goes to sea every day, plus the share of several boats, he can earn 10,000 yuan every day. What does it mean to make money every day? This is it!
He couldn't help laughing.
Sure enough, channels are king. With production tools and channels, making money these days is your destiny.
In the first three years, I struggled with this and that, and I only managed to save tens of thousands of dollars. It started to double after the year before last. Last year, when there were more ships, the money doubled even more when I came here.
This year the boat is even more powerful, and his profit will have to be doubled again.
Ye Yaodong happily began to look through the wall calendar he brought specially, wondering how many days there were until the New Year.
Check out the correct version one by one!
However, this wall calendar only lasts until New Year's Day. If you want to buy the 1988 wall calendar, looking at the time of the New Year this year, you can only wait until December.
He turned the wall calendar to the end. December 31st was only November 11th in the lunar calendar, so it was mid-February before the Chinese New Year.
Then he must stay until the end of January before going back to celebrate the New Year.
Counting from beginning to end, that’s more than 4 months!
However, they will definitely have to go home in October, which is still 4 months away.
Make a lot of money!
But imagination is beautiful, reality is skinny.
He was only excited for one night. When he woke up the next day, he felt that something was wrong with the weather. Although the sun was still shining, it felt windy.
It's summer now, it's summer, the weather is bright and sunny, and it feels wrong if it's windy.
Other workers also got up early in the morning and sat there talking about a typhoon coming.
"Is there going to be a typhoon?"
"Yes, Adong, wake up. I felt windy last night. I thought it was the sea breeze blowing from the coolness of the pier after nightfall."
"No wonder a lot of people at the fish market said last night that the waves were big at night."
Ye Yaodong looked at the big sun in the sky. It was only after 6 o'clock, and the sun was as bright as an egg yolk.
He couldn't help scolding: "Made, it's only been three days since we went to sea and there's a typhoon?"
"Fortunately, we came up a few days early..."
"I went out to buy fried dough sticks in the morning. Everyone said that the boats went out at night, and now they are all coming back one after another."
"Then the others went out at night and should be back now?"
"Brother Dong, do we want to go to sea to collect the goods later?"
Everyone was a little undecided. It was already a typhoon. If the fishing boats came back, would they not have to go to sea?
"I'll go out to the pier to see if all the fishing boats have returned."
If the fishing boats were returning to port one after another, there would be no need to go out to sea to collect fish. He could just wait at home for his father to come back.
Ye Yaodong didn't wash his face or brush his teeth. He pushed his bicycle and went out to take a look.
The pier is really crowded with people, and the goods are piled up, all of which are unloaded by fishing boats going back and forth.
Normally, ships go out to sea one after another at this time, and the unloading is usually in the evening or night, and the ships actually come back one after another.
And all the pedestrians on the pier were talking about a typhoon coming.
However, all he saw were small boats coming back from the shore, and he even saw people from his own village. However, there were quite a few fishing boats on the waterway queuing up to enter the port. It seemed that they had just returned from the sea.
Ye Yaodong chatted with the fishermen in his village again and learned that the wind and waves on the sea had become stronger since night, so he watched other boats come back this morning and they followed them.
Then he really doesn't have to go out to receive the goods today.
He turned around and returned home again.
"There's really going to be a typhoon, so there's no need to go out to sea today. My dad and the others will definitely be back, so we can just wait at home."
Everyone had expected it, so it was not surprising at all.
"I don't know if this typhoon is big or not, I haven't felt it yet."
"The only thing left to do is to lay tiles upstairs. If you don't come early, you won't come late. If a typhoon comes at this time, there will be no place to take shelter from the rain, and the doors and windows will not be closed."
Ye Yaodong also took a look at the house. The beams in the upper row of the second floor had been installed and the frame was set up. All that was left was to lay the tiles.
Downstairs, only the door of his house has been opened, and the window has only a frame, but the glass has not yet been installed. He has only put newspapers on it now.
"I'll be urging the workers in the next two days, and if everyone helps out, it should be about the same after two days of work. If there are tiles, at least we can avoid the rain."
"The windows were nailed up with wooden boards first. We haven't gone out to sea in the past two days. Since everyone is free, we can do it by ourselves. It's quick. At least when the typhoon comes, we will have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"After dinner, we will go help together and finish the work before the typhoon."
"We should be able to make it in time. Everyone has returned from the sea. There are hundreds of people. This can be done in one day."
While they were having breakfast, people kept coming back from the gate carrying burdens.
By noon, the Dongsheng and Harvest ships also came back one after another.
Even his father sent a worker back to call him, saying that he had arrived at the dock and was waiting for him to handle the goods.
Ye Yaodong helped with the work and waited until his father finally came back.
He put down what he was talking about and immediately took his account book and headed to the dock.
The quantity recorded yesterday can be delivered today.
If he hadn't thought that his father would be back today, he wouldn't have been waiting at home all morning. He would have gone to the Chamber of Commerce to squat, play cards with everyone, and sell some more.
Ye Yaodong hurried to the dock and found his own ship. He saw that the goods had been moved out and piled on the deck. It looked like it was waiting for him.
"Is the sea rough? How many tons are there here?"
"The wind and waves were strong. It started blowing at night and the waves got bigger. I thought I could still bear it, so I stayed there. Later I heard on the radio that a typhoon was coming, and I stayed there until this morning watching the boats around me.
They all disappeared one after another, and I thought they would come back too."
"It's better to come back early. I was going out this morning. The weather was not right and everyone said there was going to be a typhoon, so I didn't go out. I thought you would come back too."
"What should I do with these goods? Is there a way out? Are all the goods you took back yesterday sold out?"
"It was sold out, and there were only two to three hundred kilograms left. We all processed it this morning and started marinating it. Seeing that the weather was not suitable for drying, we simply marinated it."
Ye Yaodong looked at the account book as he spoke, and added: "Yesterday I ordered some more goods, about thirty or forty tons. Let's weigh this part of the goods first, and I will send them away one after another."
"You move some goods to the nearby fish market and sell them on the street first. After I finish delivering the goods, you can ask other people if they want to increase the quantity."
"There is going to be a typhoon, and many ships have returned. They will definitely transport more goods to send away today. There will be no fishing boats going out to sea in the next few days, but there will be no goods."
Seeing that he had plans, Father Ye kept nodding.
"Okay, then weigh what you want first."
When Ye Yaodong arrived, he had already sent someone to get the big steelyard from the fresh-harvesting ship.
"Approximately how many people are on board?"
"About 120 to 30 tons, look at the amount..."
"It's easy to sell, but there's going to be a typhoon, so the fishmongers will charge more for shipping."
The greater the quantity, the more people will ask. Of course, when people buy things, they like to buy from places with large quantities.
Father Ye felt relieved when he heard his affirmative answer.
"How are you at home? A typhoon is coming soon..."
"We have asked everyone to help with the construction and seize the time to prepare for the fight against Taiwan."
"That's good. I've been out to sea for a few days this time. At least I can make a little money. Otherwise, I haven't started making money yet and just rested there all the time. The expenses for a day are not small."
Ye Yaodong smiled. With these two shipments of goods, it would be okay to rest for a few more days and there would be no loss.
Just now he also asked the workers to go out to buy meat, chickens and ducks.
The weather is hot and meat cannot be stored for a few days, but live chickens and ducks can be kept there. During the two days of typhoon weather, it is difficult to buy anything, but meat and vegetables can be obtained.
He ran back and forth all afternoon and was sweating all over.
There are more fishing boats coming back from the dock on the pier, not just Qianfan returning to the port. At a glance, there are densely packed boats of various sizes.
The fish market street is also more lively, full of goods and fishermen shouting there.
After he finished delivering the goods, he went to his father's place to help. When he met someone he looked familiar with, he naturally had to weigh the goods from him.
And he also asked his father and the boatmen to go back and rest first, while he led another group of workers to take over the work here.
He was busy until midnight, and he only sold about seventy-seven or eighty-eight percent of the goods. Seeing that there was not much left and it was difficult to sell, he closed the stall and went back.
At this time, the waves on the shore were getting bigger. On the way back, I could hear the sound of waves and see large waves hitting the shore.
His construction site is still a short distance from the shore, but he is not afraid of being hit by waves.
When Father Ye saw them coming back, he quickly came over to greet them.
"Are they all sold out?"
"It's hard to sell the leftovers, so I brought them back. I'll give some away tomorrow to save myself the trouble of having to deal with them for a long time."
Father Ye felt relieved when he saw that there was not much left, only a few hundred kilograms.
"It's okay. You've made some friends here and sent some to others. There's too much pickled food and I can't finish it every day."
Chapter completed!
