Chapter 1078 Discussing the Distribution
"There are still quite a few, not less than during the day."
"Yes, they are heavy... Let's collect them first..."
"What a pity, the rest are gone again. It's dark at night, and the back of the fish is also dark, so it's hard to find."
Ye Yaodong shone the flashlight everywhere on the sea, but there was no shadow.
Only the fishing nets that the two boatmen were collecting were full of fish, and they were still alive and kicking.
The belly of the manta ray is white. When it jumps and struggles in the net, it turns black and white, which makes it particularly conspicuous in the dark night.
Moreover, the expression of its mouth on the belly looks like a baby's smiling face. The most important thing is that it is white and very clear. It looks a bit creepy in the dark. A whole net of baby smiling faces...
"They are still smiling after being fished out..."
"Why do I feel a bit creepy? I get goose bumps."
"What nonsense are you talking about in the middle of the night?"
Ye Yaodong also got goose bumps. These manta rays were floating under the water. Some of them showed their smiling faces on their bellies. They looked a bit weird under the light of the flashlight...
"It's just fish. , what's so creepy about it? Fortunately, it doesn't make the sound of a giant salamander. I heard that the giant salamander cries like a baby crying. If a group of giant salamanders run around the fishing boat in the middle of the night, we will be scared to death. "
"Nonsense, the giant salamander is not in the sea."
"Isn't this just an assumption? Look at this face, it looks like a child's smiling face, and it makes a baby's sound. Oh my god, in the middle of the night..."
"Oh, that's scary enough..."
"You two are really good at talking, pull it up quickly." He was almost shuddered by what they said.
There are many strange things on the sea, and various phenomena in nature are very wonderful.
The two boatmen laughed at what Ye Yaodong said.
"Aren't you working hard? Talking doesn't interfere with your work."
Ye Yaodong shone the flashlight everywhere and didn't see any traces of manta rays, so he turned off the flashlight, put it in his pocket, and reached out to help pull it up.
The two nets were heavy, and they still followed the method used during the day to catch a little bit at a time before pulling all of them onto the deck.
"It seems to be a little less than during the day?"
"The light is not good at night, so the accuracy is a little worse."
"It's okay, the two nets together look like 600 to 700 kilograms, leave it for a while until they are all dead, then you can carefully put them into the basket to avoid being pricked by the thorns of its tail. I'll go to the cockpit to watch."
Both of them nodded and looked at the manta rays scattered all over the deck.
After Ye Yaodong returned to the cockpit, he continued to concentrate on driving his boat, but it was a bit boring in the middle of the night.
Just as he was thinking this, the radio sent a signal source fluctuation sound, and he quickly answered it.
It was A Guang, it was the middle of the night, he was also very bored, and it was his turn tonight.
"How many days will we stay this time?"
"One week if nothing unexpected happens. If there are any weather changes, we can adjust then."
"It's a pity that your ship left this afternoon. A group of small manta rays suddenly appeared on the sea. It happened that we didn't cast the net at that time. We cast two nets and caught some..."
"Damn, it turns out that you got a bargain."
Ye Yaodong talked about the two nets of small manta rays he caught in the afternoon, and the two nets he just caught.
It feels like the Harvest has been taking advantage of him and following him to pick up leaks. Fortunately, he has three shares of the Harvest.
He already believes that his shipping is strong. After all, everyone thinks so, and the facts of the past three years are also in front of him.
"Oh my gosh, wait for me, I'll go out and shout, let them pay attention to the sea, maybe they can meet them."
"Tsk..."
Before he could speak, there were sparse and fragmented sounds coming from the other side, and there were also shouts from farther away. He is really a man of action.
"Dongzi..."
"If you have something to say, hurry up."
"No, I was thinking that when we are about to return, we should go directly to the provincial capital to dock and sell the goods. By the way, we should find out where the shipyard is in the provincial capital and settle the joint fishing boat. Otherwise, we will go to catch jellyfish next month, and we don't know whether this trip will take one month or two months?"
"That's what I was planning to do. And, how many shares do you want to take?"
"Uh..." A Guang was stuck for a moment, and was silent for a while before saying, "How many shares do you want to take?"
"I just persuaded them to get two boats some time ago, otherwise one boat would not be enough to share, and the cost of this boat has risen too much in the past two years, and the cost is higher every year. I think it's better to buy it early and make money early."
It's much more cost-effective to invest money in production tools now than in real estate. After all, production tools can make money for you. In this day and age, materials are scarce, and there is no need to worry about no one wanting goods.
In the past few years, people were afraid of not being able to buy food even if they had money. In recent years, as the wind has turned for the better, people lack everything and want everything.
As for real estate, it is still a long way from appreciation. Buying a house now will only lock up the money, which is not cost-effective.
If you have connections, you can occupy some land in advance. This is why he started thinking about it after he knew that Director Chen was transferred to the city.
"Two boats are fine. Have you discussed the distribution ratio?"
"They are worried about draining the family's wealth, so they only want to share a little bit, but I want them to take the majority. After all, I don't have the energy to drive a boat. If you can drive a boat yourself, then you can take the majority. If you also..."
A Guang immediately said, "I definitely don't have that energy. The family already has a Harvest. If my father is not free or is about to retire, I will have to take over. How can I have time to drive another boat? The family still needs to be taken care of. One of my father and I must stay at home to take care of it."
"So I suggest that you take the minority, and let them take the majority of the two boats, and then each of them controls a boat. A Zheng is an only child, and his father must have racked his brains to help him in any way, just like you. Xiao Xiao has many brothers in the family. Whether he asks his brothers for help or divides it with his brothers separately, it's up to him. Anyway, he can distribute his own share by himself. ”
“Then how much do you plan to take?”
“40%, one boat is 10 shares, two boats are 20 shares, you and I each have 4 shares, and they each have 6 shares. It is reasonable for them to manage the boats. We just need to wait for the money to be divided. Don’t worry about other things. The expenses that should be shared by the public will be shared by everyone. Anyway, it will be the same model as the Harvest. ”
“That’s fine. As long as you invest the money, you don’t have to worry about it and wait for the account to be settled.”
“Yes, this is very convenient. When the time comes, let their two boats follow together. We will form a team and fish together with several boats. Now our two boats are the same, and we can take care of each other at sea, and the safety factor will be greatly increased.”
The sea area is so wide and boundless, and it is not possible for them to salvage all the boats together. At that time, they can be slightly dispersed, and they can see each other a little bit. It will not affect them. Now the sea resources are so abundant.
Moreover, if there are more boats, more fish can be caught, and his fresh-collecting boats can dock with more fishing boats, and he does not need to find other fishing boats, which is more convenient.
If it really works out, he will collect all the fish on the sea, and I believe they will not have any objections, after all, he is the one who started it, formed the fleet, and has a share in every boat.
"Then I have no objection, but can they afford so much money? A boat now costs 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. If it is 6 shares, it will cost 10,000 yuan."
"So, we can make a reservation first, and we can talk about the allocation next year. We can discuss these things. Besides, we should be able to earn some money by going to Zhejiang Province to catch jellyfish next month. With more money in hand, we will be willing to spend it."
"You can't think like that. The allocation must be settled as soon as possible. The longer the time interval, the more people will talk. Of course, we believe them, but everyone has a family, and it may be that the family has something to say. If it is settled earlier, there will be no extra voices."
Ye Yaodong thought about it and it was right. What A Guang said made sense.
Just because friends are easy to talk to doesn't mean that their families are easy to talk to.
"Then in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's allocate them first. After this wave of fishing is over, we will find out about the shipyard in the province, and then decide on the boat first, and then go back and talk together."
"Yeah."
Ye Yaodong thought silently for a while, and didn't say anything for a while. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he thought the chat was over and was about to hang up. Unexpectedly, A Guang changed the subject and spoke again.
"Dongzi, there is another thing I want to talk to you about."
"What is it? Just say it directly, but you deliberately said it like it's very serious."
"Of course, big things should be said seriously. It's so disrespectful to smile frivolously."
Ye Yaodong laughed twice. It's rare to hear him speak so seriously. It's so rare.
It's a pity that I didn't see his expression in person.
People who smile frivolously all day have the nerve to talk about others.
However, it's really rare to hear A Guang speak so seriously, and he became more serious.
"Okay, then let's talk seriously. What else do you have? Have you come up with some money-making projects in the city recently, and want to share a piece of the pie with your brother?"
"Come on, I'm still waiting for you to help me make money."
"What's the matter?"
"I'm serious, we have to discuss the matter of jellyfish agency last year this year."
Ye Yaodong immediately put away the smile on his face after hearing this. He originally thought that he could have something big to say, so he made it so serious. Now he really had to talk seriously.
Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to bring it up first.
"Tell me, what do you think?"
Ye Yaodong pricked up his ears and prepared to listen attentively to see what he wanted to say, but he also had some rough guesses in his mind.
"Last year, we planned it at the last minute, so we arranged it hastily. Everyone was very busy at the time, and there was no specific rules. As for you, it was not convenient to go against Chen Jianian at the time, so I had to take the lead. I was also idle on the shore, so I did it all. Later, the money went into my pocket, which saved you the agency fee. I gave you a red envelope when I got home, but you didn't want it..."
"I was also busy at the time, and I didn't have time to stay on the shore to receive the goods. I also had to watch my own boats and teach them how to disassemble them, so it was most appropriate for you to come forward..."
A Guang interrupted him on the other end, "That's right, but we can't continue like this this year. We have to talk about the distribution. Anyway, you don't have to owe Chen Jianian a favor this year."
"I don't know how many years this jellyfish fishing business can last, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. You have contributed to this. We brothers should settle accounts clearly. After the distribution rules are determined, they will continue. No one knows how long we can earn. We can earn year by year. "
"I have been thinking about this for many days. I started thinking about this after I contacted the factory in Zhejiang Province a while ago."
"To be honest, I earned a lot last year, and the money I got was indeed a bit hot. I always think that I took advantage of your success. Everyone loves money, but it must be taken reasonably. It's not just for this time. I don't know if there will be a next year, and I don't know what will happen this year, but let's talk about it first."
"It's just like the distribution of fishing boats. Anyway, we have to talk about it first."
Ye Yaodong felt very relieved when he heard this. He didn't expect that A Guang would bring it up before he could bring it up.
He didn't pretend to push it back and forth. He thought so in his heart. There was no need to pretend to be polite to A Guang. Anyway, he brought it up first.
"Then how are you going to distribute it?"
"60-40, I'll give you 60-40, don't think I'm being rude, I'm the one who collects the goods on the shore, I'm the one who's busy, you just wait for the money, at most when we get to the shore, lend a hand and help me collect some. Although it was you who came up with the idea last year and helped to connect the lines, but it was me who ran around and took the risks, I did more work, and if it's really distributed, I should get more and you less."
Ye Yaodong smiled, it's right to share the money when it's time to share it, and it's right to fight for your own interests.
"I think you're right. You get 60-40, and I'm taking advantage of it, but it's just because of last year's blessing. To be honest, I didn't do much work, I just gave some ideas, and you were the one running around."
A Guang was happy to see that he had no objection.
"Is that so? I also said that I did more work, so I deserve to get more."
"If we continue next year, you will get 70% and I will get 30%. If we continue the year after, you will get 80% and I will get 20%. It will decrease. As long as I don't stay on the shore with you, I will help you with the work, and it will decrease until it is gone."
"Really? That's what you said."
"Well, I said that I only came up with an idea and helped to connect the bridge. If I didn't help with the work, I would feel guilty to keep taking it at this ratio. If I lend a hand, it doesn't count, and it will also decrease. It's my duty to help when I have free time."
"Okay, okay, then it's settled. You will decrease every year, and it will be gone if it's gone."
A Guang was also very surprised. He could actually say that it would decrease every year, and it would be gone if it was gone.
"Well."
In fact, Ye Yaodong also thought that he probably wouldn't be able to work for long. The locals would fight for the unique location after they knew about it. The best thing was to fish in peace. The income in the future would definitely be much less than before, so he didn't feel comfortable to share so much.
"Oh, what a pity that we didn't sit together and chat. If we did, we could have had two glasses of wine. It's a bit strange to talk across the air like this."
"You're the only one who's not free. We're all free."
"After we go back, we'll probably be free later. We'll go back after Huimei gives birth."
"What did the factory in Zhejiang Province say the last time you contacted them?"
"They just said the factory hadn't started work yet. Yesterday, I thought I'd have to go out to sea for a few days, so I called again. They also said I'd have to wait a little longer. They said some fishermen could occasionally catch a few, but most of them took them back to pickle them. The few that were left couldn't be sold. I guess it's going to be soon."
"Then I'll contact you again when I get back. We went late the year before last because of the typhoon. The waves brought a lot of jellyfish to us. We went there early last year. It's probably going to be about the same time this year. It's better to go there early and arrange accommodation earlier."
"Yeah, I remember."
It was the end of the month when we got back after this fishing trip. It's really going to be soon.
Thinking about it, he still has a lot of things to do, and his schedule is quite full.
He wants to buy land, a boat, and prepare to go fishing in Zhejiang Province. He has many fishing boats and dozens of people have to wait for him to arrange. It's not easy to think about it, and there will probably be a lot of things to do by then.
A Guang heard that the phone was silent all the time, and there was no sound again, so he asked again: "What are you doing, why are you speechless?"
"I'm thinking about something."
"What are you thinking about?"
"I think there will be a lot of things to do after I go back. I may not be able to go out for the second time, so I have to arrange things at home."
"What's the big deal? Only the fishing boat issue has not been resolved. When the provincial government has finished looking at it, we will take a day to discuss it and then make a decision. The materials and people to go to Zhejiang Province can be handed over to the third sister-in-law to arrange. What else can we prepare? There is nothing to prepare. When you go back, call in advance. If it's still early, you can go out to sea again. When you talked about it before, wasn't it all in July?"
"That's hard to say. This year, the squid season is late in our area. It's better to go earlier. Or we can set it at the end of June, and don't have to wait until July. There's no need to set a time limit. If we go early, we can do some scattered cargo if there are loose cargoes. "
"Then let's wait a few days. At least we have to call and ask in advance before going. The labor cost for one day is not small. We have hired many people, and it costs dozens of yuan a day, and we also need food and drink."
When it comes to labor, he also knows that he feels bad. A Guang only costs 30 yuan a day, but he has hired 20 people, plus the 4 people on this boat and his father, and a day plus food and drink costs a hundred yuan.
I can't bear it, I can't bear it...
100 yuan a day, 1000 yuan in 10 days, if you don't make money, you can't just play there.
"Then ask in advance before going."
The two discussed the details of the next trip to Zhejiang Province for a long time. Anyway, it was just a casual chat. The fishing boat was working at the moment, and they didn't need to do anything.
In the long night, there must be someone to relieve loneliness.
It can be a brother if not a wife.
Chatting will not make you feel empty.
They disconnected and started working until they both shouted to pull up the net.
It took almost three hours to pull the net. It was almost 1 o'clock in the morning when the net was put down.
After the goods in the fishing net were collected and the empty net was put down again, more than half an hour had passed, and a hazy light appeared on the horizon.
Ye Yaodong stood on the rudder tower, looking at the goods on the deck below. He could only say that the harvest of this net was so-so, but it was okay.
After getting through the daybreak, his spirit was a little sluggish, not as excited and energetic as at night.
He stretched his waist and twisted his neck. He stood there and took a few deep breaths, absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and felt much better before returning to the cockpit to sit.
The work below can be done by two boatmen.
After the second net was raised, the people in the cabin also got up and took turns with them.
Drifting on the sea, nothing special happened next, so they fished step by step, those who should take shifts took shifts, and those who should work worked.
The weather has been good for the past few days. After two or three days of fishing, they summoned the fresh-collecting boat, sold a wave of goods, and continued to fish at sea.
The harvest in recent days was also ordinary. There was no particularly large cargo worthy of their special return trip. Until the fishing boat was full for the second time, the deck was also full of goods. They connected and discussed and prepared to dock in the provincial capital first.
Not only to sell the goods, but also to go to the dock of the provincial capital, find the shipyard of the provincial capital, and understand the market here, so that they can make a decision and make plans.
After things were settled in the provincial capital, they sailed back, fishing as they went, and then went to the city to sell goods.
They also expected to spend two days during this period, after all, they had to fish on the way back to make money, and they had to fill the fish warehouse before they could dock and sell goods in the city, otherwise it would not be cost-effective.
Originally, they were not in a hurry. In the past, they fished while going out to the open sea, and the same was true when they returned, fishing while returning.
When you are away from home, you have to be careful about everything you do.
If they hadn't thought about going to the provincial capital to inquire about the shipyard, if they had a full boat, they would probably sell it directly to the fresh collection ship at sea, and then go back, fishing while they go, and then collect a boatload of goods to sell in the provincial capital.
After arriving at the provincial capital dock, Lao Hai greeted them as soon as he saw them, and was extremely enthusiastic. Of course, they had no choice, and they sold all the goods to him.
Uncle Pei was not around, and his father was too embarrassed to ask other people for prices, so he had already made a move to A Guang in advance and told him to go, since he was a stranger.
Although they were related, they had to avoid being cheated. It was impossible not to sell, but at least they had to know what they were doing so that they could argue with reason if they were cheated.
Fortunately, the price was still very fair this time. I don’t know if it was because they were familiar with each other. Anyway, this time, I saw that his shop had received a lot of goods in a scattered manner. It seemed that it had opened recently.
However, although selling goods here was smooth, finding a shipyard was not so smooth.
They had to ask and search along the shore. Some shores were too shallow to allow them to stop and ask for directions. They walked so many wronged sea routes that they felt like they were always circling around the coast around the provincial capital.
Later, they went to the shore to find local fishermen, wanting to pay them to help lead the way, but they ignored them, fearing that they would be sacrificed to the Dragon King by outsiders after boarding the boat.
After searching for two or three hours, they still couldn't find it when it was dark, and they were so angry that they drove the boat back directly.
"Let's not look for it anymore. Anyway, we are unfamiliar with the place, and there is a high probability that we will be ripped off. At that time, everything will be controlled by others, and they will have the final say. We have paid a deposit but still have no say. At least you have booked several boats in the city, and you will know them there."
"Okay, then go back to the city to book. I can probably sail a boat back in the next two days. It happens that I will dock in the city in two days. I will learn more about it in detail and drive the new boat back by the way."
"Well, let's go to the city. I can also learn if there are any new technologies."
If there are any new technologies, the city will definitely use them earlier than the county, which is an advantage.
The whole boat had been struggling with them, but only the two of them were really tired. The boatmen didn't care, as they could rest without working.
"Let's go, let's go back. We'll fish for two more days. You should save up some groceries for me, and don't throw them back into the sea."
"I know. My father-in-law started saving them two days ago, fearing that they would be wasted. Fortunately, my fish warehouse is bigger and can hold a lot of them."
"No more talking. Go eat quickly. We've been looking everywhere. It's already dark, and we haven't eaten yet..." Father Ye urged them, and he also went to start the boat.
The two boats left the brightly lit city one after another. If they had known this, they wouldn't have wasted time. Who knew it was so hard to find? It wasn't so hard to find the shipyard in the city.
In the end, it might be that the provincial capital was too big, and the village where the shipyard was located was too remote, and they didn't know which shipyard to look for.
After the two boats had been running at full speed for an hour or two, they slowed down and slowly lowered the fishing nets, letting the nets open their bloody mouths to continue to eat their fill in the sea.
When Ye Yaodong was driving the boat, he was also thinking that the price he had asked from the city was about 15,000 or 16,000 yuan, which was acceptable. Although it was more expensive than his boat, it was normal for the price to rise after two years, and they had also been paying attention to the market conditions in recent years.
In addition, the city was originally more expensive than their small place, so 15,000 or 16,000 yuan was considered very cheap. After all, there were few such large fishing boats now, and they could catch more fish in farther places, and they could quickly make a profit.
15,000 or 16,000 yuan for one, and 30,000 to 32,000 yuan for two. A deposit of 10,000 yuan should be enough. If they were worried about them being outsiders, it would not matter if they added a few thousand yuan.
Anyway, he would go over and take a look first. After the inspection of A Guang's boat, he could talk slowly. He still had three boats that had not been delivered.
Thinking about it, not everything would go smoothly.
The latter part is divided into sections, and it is just right to break here
