Chapter 1108 Peaceful Coexistence

The fishing boats saw the people in front of them reveal their bald heads, and they all took off their hats.

The wind was strong on the sea, so even in the early morning, when the sky was just getting light and the sun had just risen, everyone was wearing hats. In July, the sun was also very scorching, so they basically kept their hats on.

Except for taking off their hats when they ran onto the boat in the evening the day before yesterday, they took advantage of the bald heads, and their big bald heads were not exposed. They were originally planning to scare them at the critical moment.

When the conflict happened before, their side was fine. They were more restrained at the beginning, and they went back early later, and they didn't catch up with the situation where the two sides fought to death.

"What should we do? Are we really going to fight?"

"We just salvaged smoothly for half a day..."

Everyone pretended to be fierce, but they were a little nervous. They saw and heard the tragic situation of the past two days. Half of them were still in the public security bureau and hadn't come out yet. No one would be so angry at this time.

The other party was also whispering there, and they were talking with their backs to the wind, and some of the words were carried to their ears by the wind.

The fishing boats that came later were behind them or beside them. Ye Yaodong's Dongsheng was the closest to the other party, and it could be said that it was a target.

But now everyone was deadlocked there, no one dared to move rashly, and they were all weighing the pros and cons. These locals were probably afraid, and probably didn't want to cause any more trouble.

He thought about it, cleared his throat again, and then shouted to the other party: "Hello everyone..."

The locals almost couldn't help but break their defense, and the expressions on their faces were shocked and unbelievable, looking at him with their mouths wide open in surprise.

And the boatmen on their boat also turned their heads to look at him as if they had seen a ghost, and their eyes were about to bulge out.

Is it so polite?

At this time, is it appropriate to say hello?

Normally, when you open your mouth every day, tmd, tmd, as if you can't speak without a word of tmd, you can still open your mouth to say hello at this time?

These past two days, I have been swearing and cursing at the locals...

Ye Yaodong stood up straight, put away his gun, and shouted to the other side with a smile, "Hello everyone, we don't know each other without fighting. Let's talk nicely. Don't take out your guns at every turn. It's scary."

"You took it first."

"I'm scared, right? Who told you to have so many boats and surround us? My life is at stake."

The people on the other boats looked at each other, but none of them put down their guns.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "I know we are outsiders, but we all have the same faith. Mazu is one family in the world. We are all fishermen blessed by Mazu, so we are all one family. We should not be divided by region."

"We are all fishermen. We should know the hardships of fishermen. We are exposed to the wind and sun, and we have to go out to sea to endure natural disasters and man-made disasters. It is not easy for everyone. We all want to make a living. If we have this resource locally, we will not run so far. We all want to have a full meal."

"And we are all honest people who love peace, unlike the group of people a few days ago. We are all reasonable. If we are really unreasonable and shoot at the beginning, everyone will immediately fight to death like the previous two days."

The people on the other side looked at each other at first, thinking that what they said was quite pleasant, but when they heard the three words "honest people", the expressions on their faces almost cracked.

"You guys are a bunch of bald guys, how can you be honest..."

"That's right, you look much worse than the group of people two days ago..."

The other party was talking at once, grabbing the word "honest" and spewing out all kinds of things.

Ye Yaodong interrupted them immediately, lest they lose sight of the point.

"Let's not talk about whether we are honest or not. We can't just look at our appearance, we have to speak with facts. The fact is, we didn't do anything, right..."

"What didn't we do? Yesterday, a group of you bullied several of our boats and drove us away..."

Ye Yaodong interrupted their discussion, "Did you do that? Was it my boat that bullied yours yesterday? It wasn't me, right? My boat is so big, it's easy to recognize, everyone should be able to recognize it."

"But you bullied me today, so we're even after going back and forth, right? No? Yesterday our fishing boat bullied you, and today you bullied me, so let's just call it a draw, okay?"

Seeing them talking about this again, he felt that it was inconvenient to just shout at a distance, so he said, "Can I move my boat closer to talk? I have no ill intentions, we just want to talk at a closer distance, and you have guns in your hands, so you won't suffer any loss."

"No."

"Don't move..."

"Okay, let's say this." He responded helplessly, and he looked more scared than him.

"Look, there are more and more jellyfish floating on the sea surface now, and there will be more in the next few days. If we fight and get bloody, we will be arrested and taken to the police station together, and then others will benefit."

"Think about it, although it's a bargain for you locals, but it didn't fall into your hands, so you're still at a disadvantage, right? Can we all coexist peacefully? You take yours, we take ours, and we don't conflict with each other."

"Anyway, no one can take all the money. In this way, you benefit and we benefit, and no one has to fight to the death."

"If we fight to the death, it will also be a bargain for others. If it's a bargain for others, you won't get any good, but if it's a bargain for us, you can get good, and we can earn money together in peace."

"It doesn't matter who you earn it for? At least when you earn it for us, you can also get a share of the benefits. We both lose, and no one gets any good. It has nothing to do with you if others get good. . "

"Whether it's us or other locals, they are all others to you guys, and what falls into your pocket is yours, don't you think?"

"Mazu in the world is one family, and fishermen in the world share suffering. In the end, we don't have any deep hatred! You still have locals you dislike and hate, and it's no good for you to take advantage of others."

"Now everyone is evenly matched. You have more than a dozen boats, and we also have more than a dozen boats. Let's salvage together peacefully. Anyway, we can't salvage all of them. You see."

Ye Yaodong pointed to the sea again. Originally, there were not many floating in the early morning, but they were deadlocked for a while without salvaging, and all of them were bubbling, looking colorful and beautiful.

Compared with the blue and wide sea in the distance, it is a sharp contrast.

One is vast and scattered, and the other is crowded and dense.

The balance in the other party's heart also tilted, and they all whispered to each other, and then the other party's boat conveyed its meaning to the other fishing boats behind them that could not hear the dynamics.

They are not stupid, and they all know how to weigh the pros and cons.

The events of the previous two days also left a warning bell in their hearts, so the stalemate just now, in addition to fear, is also a concern, worried that if the shooting really happened, it would make a big fuss, and no one would be good, and they would all be shot.

In addition, some of them also participated in it the day before yesterday, and knew that their side withdrew early that day and did not participate in it.

Just now, Ye Yaodong was talking there with the banner of Mazu, but he could not convince them, and could only calm down their anger a little, but the interests were involved, and the relationship was big.

After both sides were hurt, it was the other side that benefited, and no one was willing to accept it. Peaceful coexistence can benefit both sides.

Ye Yaodong felt that he had to buy a big loudspeaker when he went back, so that it would be convenient to shout. Although the distance was too far and he couldn't shout, having a loudspeaker at this time could save a lot of trouble.

If there is a loudspeaker, the message can be conveyed more widely and more clearly.

Seeing them conveying the message back and forth, they couldn't hold the gun so steadily. Ye Yaodong turned around and signaled them to put down their guns, and then shouted at the other party.

"Let's put down our guns first. We don't have any deep hatred. The sea is so vast, and the sea is not for individuals. The jellyfish season is a gift from the sea to us fishermen. As long as all of us who participate can benefit, won't everyone be happy?"

"Anyway, there are so many, no one can monopolize them. We all put down our guns, so you should put down your guns too. Let's live in peace and each salvage our own fish."

"The great *** said that only by making money together can we achieve common prosperity. You don't want to lose everything and your life, right? The group of people who fought the gun battle the day before yesterday will probably be shot. Even if they are not shot, they will probably spend their lives in prison. When they are released, half of their bodies will probably be buried in the ground."

"Money is important, but life is more important. Now we can save our lives and make a lot of money by living in peace."

The other party kept whispering to each other, and no one was talking, just listening to Ye Yaodong's chattering.

But the effect was also very significant, his words also loosened the other party's lips, so they just ran back and forth to tell each other.

Now listening to him talking, all the guns were put away one after another, and then some people started to speak.

It should be the captain of the boat on the opposite side that was closest to him, who also said to him in broken Mandarin: "We think what you said makes sense. There is no difference between letting your fishing boat salvage and letting other local fishing boats salvage. It seems that there is no way to salvage all the jellyfish here."

"The conflict a few days ago was also because there were too many boats on your side and they robbed too much, so everyone was unhappy and fought. After all, these jellyfish are also in our waters, and you are outsiders."

Ye Yaodong waited for his response and breathed a sigh of relief, "At that time, there were too many monks and too little porridge, so we could only plunder. Now it's different. Now the whole sea is covered with jellyfish, and we can only salvage our own."

"Otherwise, we won't get any good, and you won't get any good either. Everyone's fishing boats are equal, and their weapons are equal. If we fight, several people will die. I don't want to die, and you don't want to die either, right? I don't want to go to jail, and you don't want to go to jail either."

The other group of people frowned.

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "So let's live in peace. If we have money, we can all make money together. Everyone will be happy. There is no need to fight to the death. We will suffer losses and benefit others."

"But let's not tell others. Just salvage with our ships. Anyway, the difference between our ships is not much. If more ships join, we will benefit less."

"If you agree, then we will salvage separately now, without interfering with each other. Everyone will make money together and everyone will be happy."

Everyone's face was relaxed, and no one wanted to get into trouble.

"Okay, we just told the other boats that as long as you don't rob us, we will each salvage our own goods. There are so many goods, enough for everyone to salvage. As long as you don't come to rob us, we won't rob yours, and you are not allowed to call other boats."

"We don't have other boats. They are all here. The others have been detained by the Public Security Bureau. Now the matter is not resolved, how can there be other boats. Don't bring a bunch of boats here, it will hurt others and not benefit yourself. After all, it will not benefit you to make a lot of money for others, but will cause disputes again."

"Okay, then it's settled. You go over there, we're here, and everyone does their own thing."

Ye Yaodong snapped his fingers and it was done.

He tilted his head slightly, but his eyes were still on them to prevent them from damaging the smoke bombs, and then told the boatmen beside him to let the fishing boats behind them step aside and salvage their own things. Don't cause trouble. We don't provoke them, and they don't provoke us.

The boatmen also breathed a sigh of relief and went to convey the idea of ​​peaceful coexistence.

They were also worried about a fight. They came here to make money, not to die. There were still dozens of people in prison, and they didn't want to lose themselves.

The risk was too high. If they had known that they would be arrested and thrown into prison, they would have weighed it and not come to do this job.

They were not the captains of the ship, and they could still make a lot of money. It was not worth taking such a big risk to earn a salary.

Ye Yaodong watched the other party's ship slowly retreat to the side, and the ships beside and behind him also retreated to the back.

They resumed salvaging again, but everyone was highly focused, staring at the other party's ship, and they were all on guard and couldn't relax completely.

He was the same.

Let others drive the boat to the side first, while he stood on the deck and stared at the other party.

It was not until the distance was pulled away that everyone's tense nerves relaxed.

Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at everyone who had already started working.

"Finally, we can salvage with peace of mind for the time being. We have to gather together like this, speak frankly, and reach an agreement to have no worries. Otherwise, we have to worry about our lives all the time."

"Yes, yes, I thought we were going to fight again, and I was sweating in my heart."

"I thought we were going to fight again, and I was so panicked that I was thinking about whether to jump into the sea first if a fight started. I was also thinking, what if I get stung to death by a jellyfish, and I was hesitating whether to be shot to death or stung to death by a jellyfish..."

"Haha, it's good now. With so many, no one can get them all. Why do we have to fight to the death? Just do our own thing."

"At the beginning, there were too many boats on both sides, and the locals suffered losses and were angry. Now it's good. Everyone is not much different, so they will listen to me."

Ye Yaodong clapped his hands again, "Okay, anyway, we have reached an agreement, let's do it quickly, while we are living in peace, hurry up and get more, it's worth it to run out and take risks."

It's not in vain for those people squatting in the prison.

"Yes, yes, we have a whole day today, everyone should work harder and make more money."

"We could sell hundreds of goods even if we came out so late yesterday. We have a whole day today, so we will definitely make a lot..."

He also looked at some people who were not very interested, thought for a while, and then said, "You guys work hard. If you make a lot of money this time, when you go back, I will give you a bigger red envelope, just to calm everyone down."

"Also, I will definitely try my best to get all the people who were captured on our ship back, even if it costs a lot of money, we have to get everyone out. Let's make more money now, so that we can have more confidence when we redeem people."

"We came out together, so of course we have to go back together."

Everyone was refreshed when they heard this and nodded to each other.

"Yes, earn more money, let Adong find a way to get everyone back."

"Okay, don't think too much, just get to work."

Now everyone felt at ease. Many people came to work with their families, or they were all familiar with each other. The most feared thing was that their relatives and friends could not go back. Now that they were comforted, they had more confidence and worked more efficiently.

Ye Yaodong also participated in the salvage, and from time to time he kept an eye on the movements of other fishing boats on the sea.

After a brief negotiation, everything was calm afterwards. It was indeed because there were too many jellyfish floating on the sea, and everyone couldn't salvage them all, so how could they take care of others.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the other boats were full, and everyone rowed over one after another, and lifted the cut jellyfish onto the Dongsheng.

After the boats came over one after another, the No. 2 fishing boat also drove over and moved all the full cargo to the Dongsheng. By the way, he took some empty baskets or barrels with nylon bags, replaced the full ones with empty ones, and continued to salvage.

There were too many, and the morning wave alone was larger than the harvest yesterday evening. The fish warehouse was full. He also told the No. 2 boat that he would go back to sell the goods, and move the pre-cooked rice on the boat to another boat, so that they could solve it themselves later.

Although the Dongsheng was a little faster, it took less than two hours to go there, but it took three hours to go back and forth. After he went back and forth, he probably had to transport another batch of goods back.

If the quantity is small, they can still use alum and salt to pickle them and go back in one trip. If the quantity is large, where can they get so many materials? They must transport them back to sell while they are fresh.

When he returned, he also connected with the Harvest and talked about it.

Know

Father Pei did not plan to drive the Harvest back, but only planned to let his stepson Lin Jianshe's new boat to transport the goods back. Anyway, it was A Guang who received the goods on the shore, and that boat only needed to send the goods back.

And they only salvaged two boats, and the boat on Lin Jianshe's side was enough to transport the goods, so there was no need to send the Harvest.

Ye Yaodong asked him to take care of his small boats, and then he left first. The others didn't care about them, and they could go back to sell the goods at any time.

However, when everyone saw his iconic Dongsheng going back, they followed him back one after another. Even some local fishing boats saw that the quantity was about the same, and they had to go back to sell.

At this time, most of the fishing boats on the sea were gone.

He did not take the people on the Dongsheng with him, only 4 of them, leaving half to help on another fishing boat.

The harvest this morning was really good, 12 boats worked together, and the manpower was nearly half more than yesterday, and even the harvest of the small boats increased a lot.

Not to mention the jellyfish blood that was dried last night, this morning alone, more than 50 kilograms of jellyfish were caught, and his goods alone had to be taken away by a truck.

The jellyfish heads have just started this year, and only their group has the most goods, and the price is a little higher, which can be 6 cents. The jellyfish skin is also 4.5 cents. After a while, the quantity will increase, and the price will probably start to drop, but this wave of sales in the morning has also sold for more than 800.

The jellyfish blood from last night was not dried enough in the morning, so it could not be sold, and it could only continue to be dried until the evening.

While selling goods, Ye Yaodong also briefly chatted with A Guang about the morning situation. After knowing that they were salvaging peacefully, A Guang also breathed a sigh of relief.

After selling the goods, he immediately drove back in his boat.

The fishing boat that had followed him back had just docked late, just passing by him. He envied those people so much, saying that his boat was big and fast, and he could even sell goods before others and return to continue salvaging, which was very efficient.

On the way back, they also solved lunch, and everyone had a breathing space. When they came, everyone had to cut jellyfish on the road, but they didn't have to do anything when they left.

He was worried about the local fishing boats on the sea, and he didn't feel so relieved when he asked others to take care of his small boats. He rushed back quickly after selling the goods.

On the way, he happened to meet several local fishing boats returning. The town was closer, so they returned later than him and were slower than him, but they were able to get out first.

When he quickly reached the trench again, it was already 1pm. Seeing that the busy fishing boats on the sea did not have any disputes, he was relieved. Then he drove the boat to the small boats and collected the goods on their small boats first.

After collecting all the goods again, another hour had passed, and their boat had not had time to salvage a few before it had to return.

The money sold this time was not as much as the first trip. After all, the Dongsheng did not participate in the salvage, and it was all transporting and selling goods on the road.

There was nothing to do about it. If it was not transported back early, the jellyfish would turn into water, and the loss would be even greater.

However, this trip also sold 600. The boats on the sea were sweating and salvaging non-stop. He heard it when he received the goods, and when they took turns to eat, they all knew what he said in the morning.

They all worked hard to help him earn more money, so that he could have enough money to redeem the other people he knew. Then they could go back together happily and get a big red envelope. So everyone worked very hard.

It was equivalent to three round trips a day. When the evening trip came back, it was completely dark.

Everyone was a little greedy for the dark. As long as there were still people on the sea, they were reluctant to leave. After all, they were not the only ones on the sea, there were others.

Moreover, they now have a longer round trip distance, which means that the time for salvaging is shorter. They are reluctant to go back before dark. These fishing boats also cooperate in pairs like last year, one salvages and the other delivers goods, taking turns to go back and forth, and sharing the profits equally.

On the way back, the locals have almost finished their work

It is rare to coexist peacefully today, and everyone has a good harvest, and everyone has a smile on their face.

On the way back, Ye Yaodong stood on the rudder and waved to the nearby fishing boats and said hello.

After a moment of hesitation, the other side also waved and said hello. After all, they really don’t have any deep hatred. Today is a good start. As long as both sides keep their promises and don’t interfere with each other, they can tolerate each other.

When they finally returned, it was already dark. It was already past 7 o’clock when they arrived. This was because Fengshou and Dongsheng were fast and arrived first. The other fishing boats were still behind and would not be able to dock until about 8 o’clock.

They sold their goods first. The last trip, Dongsheng, participated in the salvage for a short time. The goods collected were more than the one at noon, and they sold 720 yuan.

He also sold the jellyfish blood he had accumulated yesterday. Yesterday, he accumulated more than 30 kilograms of jellyfish blood. The price of jellyfish blood has increased this year. One kilogram can be 12 yuan, one yuan more than last year. He sold it for 365 yuan.

In total, he made 2,500 yuan today!

Ye Yaodong took the bill of goods, calculated it in his mind, and smiled brightly. This money was also after the commission.

Taking advantage of the dark, there were not many people on the shore, he also calculated the accounts from A Guang, and then took them to the boat and locked them under the bed.

The more boats, the greater the harvest. Last year, he only had two boats salvaging there, and the daily harvest was only about 1,000 yuan for jellyfish blood.

That's why he couldn't bear to send the Dongsheng out to traw. If he went out to traw those fish, he could only earn a hundred yuan per net when he wasn't very lucky, and he could only sell 600 to 700 yuan a day, and he had to deduct half of the gas and ice expenses.

If he went out for a week, he could only sell 3,000 to 4,000 yuan when he was not lucky, and he had to deduct half of the expenses.

He could stay here to support himself and make money faster. When it was almost over, he could send the small wooden boat and the fishing boat to make money here, and then send the Dongsheng out to traw, but he would have to wait for his father to come back before he could feel at ease.

As for the Fengshou, he heard that the jellyfish blood sold for more than 900 yuan today and yesterday when he put the money out.

However, the Fengshou stayed on the sea today and did not return. It kept fishing, relying on their new ship to transport goods. It also followed the old rules of last year and deducted 100 yuan a day for transportation.

After all, the Harvest is a partnership, and their fishing boats are individually owned, so they have to settle accounts clearly.
