Chapter 1111 Solution
The money is calculated!
He had just earned 25,000 yuan, but he could already calculate that he had earned 100,000 yuan. He almost couldn't help laughing.
Looking at the numbers on the notebook, he turned off the flashlight with a smile, and gradually fell asleep listening to the snoring and the sound of the waves.
Running back and forth for a day is not as easy as being on the sea, and he is really exhausted. He has been tense these days, fearing that there will be another accident on the sea.
As a ship boss, he worries more than anyone else. The boatmen don't need to use their brains, just follow the instructions and do things. They can rest after finishing the work, and don't need to think about it. He has to use his brain and work hard.
Now he bought a courtyard house, just as a reward for himself.
After calculating, he still has more than 12,000 yuan on hand, and he can get another 4,000 yuan tomorrow. He decided to take a time to go ashore tomorrow, just in time to sell the money and remit another 10,000 yuan back.
In the afternoon, he ran back and forth for the house, and then he registered and changed the locks. He didn't have time at all. It was only after selling jellyfish blood and goods last night that he was able to save more than 12,000.
After thinking about the daily plan for the remaining few days again, he gradually fell asleep in the swaying.
The next day, they continued the trajectory of the previous few days and came to the fishing point as usual.
After a few days of fishing, everyone formed a tacit understanding, and both sides gradually let down their guard. Even if they found that there were several fishing boats on the sea, they looked at each other and kept their promises, so Ye Yaodong didn't say anything.
The local fishing boats returned with full loads every day, which of course attracted attention. It was inevitable that the number of fishing boats would gradually increase. There would always be jealous local fishing boats following behind, looking for a place.
As long as the tacit understanding was not broken, the new boats abided by the agreement and did not deliberately rob, for the sake of the interests of both parties, they would definitely not tear their faces apart.
Now it is the peak season. A large number of jellyfish emerge every day, which is enough to support so many fishing boats to fish for a whole day. Everyone is too busy to catch them, and of course they can't take care of other fishing boats.
These local fishing boats are also the first to come back this year. They don't know that resources will be exhausted. They only look at the present. As long as there is enough to catch, no one cares about the new fishing boats that join, as long as there is no conflict.
In this way, Ye Yaodong's daily harvest of more than 4,000 yuan has lasted for a week, and the number of local fishing boats on the sea is also increasing day by day, doubling.
After a long period of high-intensity fishing, the jellyfish that emerge in the trench are also a little weak, and the speed of emergence is gradually not as large as in the past few days.
Everyone has noticed this phenomenon, but it is barely enough for so many fishing boats to catch. However, by the end of the month, they can only barely hold on until dusk, and they can't keep up with the speed of fishing. It's really that the number of fishing boats has increased too much.
When we returned to the shore at night, everyone was discussing while queuing up to sell goods.
"These locals are too immoral. We agreed to live in peace with each other, but after a few days, the number of their boats has increased day by day. If we hadn't thought about not causing trouble, we would have beaten them so badly that they wouldn't recognize their parents..."
"Don't brag. There are so many of them. If a fight really breaks out, we will be the ones to get beaten, and then we will all go to jail together."
"It feels like the number has decreased in the past two days. Can we not make a lot of money for a few days?"
"It looks like it's the same as the late last year. It can't last a few days, and there are more boats."
"Fortunately, I have made a lot of money these days. If the number is less, we can end it early."
"Adong, the one week you said is coming, right?"
Everyone looked at him who had sold all the goods in advance.
"I'll remember the date and go ask tomorrow to see if there's any result."
"It's been more than ten days, there should be a result, right?"
"You'll know after you ask."
How could he know the efficiency of work now? Anyway, he'll go ask tomorrow since it's Friday, and by the way, he'll remit the money he's saved in the past two days.
"Compared to the people who are staying in there, we are pretty good. At least we can still make money."
"That's right. When they really let it out, we really fished out all the fish. We didn't make any money and stayed in there for so long."
"We should be content."
Ye Yaodong listened to the discussion of a group of people, thought about it, and reminded them, "Now there are twice as many local ships on the sea as us. Don't have conflicts if you can avoid them. Anyway, everyone has earned the money they should earn."
"The number will decrease day by day in the future. If it seems that it is almost the same, we can go to the sea to find some and fish. The most important thing is to go home safely."
"Don't make money just now, but end up making a fuss at the last minute and lose it all. This is also very likely. After all, there are fewer people and more fishing boats. They will definitely fight for resources. You should take it easy."
Ye Yaopeng also reminded them, "This is true. In the evening when the sun was about to set and there were not many jellyfish, a ship robbed our goods. Fortunately, we gave in, otherwise we might have fought again."
"Everyone wants to make more money. This is the case when the number is small. If the number is large, there is no need to fight. So I want you to take it easy in the next few days. What you have earned now is better than many people. You know, some people will definitely be shot."
Everyone nodded and sighed.
Some of them were the people in the town who had followed the Chen family for years. They all felt sad. Everyone came here with great ambitions to make money, but they didn't expect that less than half of them would return.
"I don't know if Chen Jianian has been arrested. I haven't heard about it for so many days."
"If he hadn't been arrested, he wouldn't dare to go back. He encouraged so many people to come with him to make money, but in the end, most of them couldn't go back. Who else can their families look for if not him?"
"Yeah, so it would be easier if he was arrested, otherwise he would be beaten to death if he went back."
"We'll know tomorrow if he has been arrested. If he hasn't been arrested, he would have run away earlier. He might have secretly gone back early and taken his wife and children away."
Ye Yaodong looked curiously at the remaining team that was sorting baskets for him, "Have you called home these days?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"No, we go out to sea before dawn every day and come back in the dark, so how can we have the chance to go out and make phone calls."
"That's right, that means the news hasn't been passed back yet. If Chen Jianian ran fast, he might have gone back quietly one step ahead and taken his wife and children away."
Everyone looked at each other. Some wanted to pass on the news but really didn't have time. They worked early and late these days. They were exhausted every day when they came back. They fell asleep and didn't have the energy to think about other things. It was the blessing of Mazu that they could save themselves.
And the villagers didn't dare to say anything.
Everyone's ship had losses, and everyone still had illusions and wanted to wait for the results to come out. They didn't dare to report the bad situation at all.
If everyone could get out, it would be at most a little dangerous to go back then. Now, if there is no result, they will only worry in vain and get scolded. Generally, the captains of the ships are their relatives.
"Okay, I've reminded you, let's pack up and go back to eat. We still have to cook jellyfish blood later, so we're still busy."
After hearing that the topic of discussion had changed from jellyfish to people, Ye Yaodong also urged his people to go back quickly.
He and the Harvest came back early and sold all the goods, while others were still queuing up to weigh them.
After returning, he took the opportunity to eat and reminded his people again.
He will go out to sea tomorrow morning, and he will go to the Coast Guard Bureau again at noon, so if there are fishing boats snatching goods at sea, let them go if they can, safety first.
His eldest brother said that there was already a phenomenon of snatching goods in the evening when there was less goods, and it would probably be okay tomorrow daytime, but there would probably be more in the evening when there was less goods, so he should pay attention, and he would not be able to watch tomorrow.
Everyone nodded quickly, "We have to stop them. They are all small wooden boats.
How dare we rob them? When we see a bigger boat coming, we will stay away."
Ye Yaodong also felt relieved. He only had small boats, and these people were paid a fixed salary. Who would risk their lives for him to earn more or less? They were originally avoiding big ships. After seeing the previous tragic situation, they must have saved their lives.
"Well, safety first. Let's ask tomorrow to see if we can rescue the people. If we can, there shouldn't be much cargo left in the trench by the time they are released. Everyone will have to search for it on the sea or go back in advance."
"It's better to go back early."
"I'm afraid the people who were just released will not be reconciled..."
"What can we do? Who made them unlucky..."
Ye Yaodong ignored everyone's discussion and took a simple shower after finishing his meal.
Seeing them eating, bathing, cooking, and drying in an orderly manner, he did not care about them and let them make their own arrangements. He also returned to the boat first and stopped guarding here.
The first thing he did when he returned to the boat was to calculate the money he earned today and record the account.
Today's earnings were not as much as the previous few days. Without jellyfish blood, the total sales of three trips were only 2,600 yuan. With 900 yuan of jellyfish blood, it was only more than 3,500 yuan.
It started to drop three days ago. At the highest point, it sold 4,400 yuan a day. He estimated that tomorrow it would only be about 3,000 yuan, after all, jellyfish blood is the big part.
The catch was decreasing day by day, and of course the jellyfish blood began to decrease sharply, and it would lose a few hundred yuan every day.
However, during the two days of rescuing people, he could still insist on earning a little more. A few hundred yuan is still a few hundred yuan. Others were struggling to earn a few yuan a day, and it was already amazing for him to have a few hundred yuan a day.
After recording the account, he calculated the earnings of the past few days. After writing and drawing on paper for a long time, he finally calculated that he had earned 28,710 this week.
Adding the 14,800 earned in the previous few days, the total is 43,510. The hairtail and sea urchins also earned 10,000 yuan. So far, he has earned a total of 53,510 on this trip.
After he got out, his biggest hobby was to do the accounting. At home, there was no such a large amount of accounts for him to do, and they were all small change. He had a headache just thinking about counting one or two cents. Here, they collected big money, so he only needed to record one.
After calculating his own, he calculated the income of the Harvest and other fishing boats.
When they were selling goods, he was watching from the side, so he could make an accurate estimate.
The daily income of the Harvest has been over a thousand yuan in recent days. At the peak, it can be 1,300 or 1,400 yuan. Under normal circumstances, it is also a thousand yuan. Today it is a little less, only more than 800 yuan, and tomorrow it will probably be even less.
But in these few days alone, it should be more than 13,000 yuan, and then deduct the daily fuel cost, it can still be about 12,000 yuan, this is without hairtail.
And other ordinary fishing boats should also have more than 4,000 yuan, it can be said that everyone has a big harvest.
After fishing for a few more days, it can be a little more.
This time out, the polarization is a bit serious.
Some are miserable, some are laughing!
Although he was the one who laughed, he still sighed in his heart, and then closed the account book.
This year's flood season is a little earlier than last year. Correspondingly, the date of salvage will definitely be advanced. In addition, the number of fishing boats has increased recently. They clearly felt that the number of fish was decreasing very quickly when they caught them the next morning.
They could hold on until the evening yesterday, but they felt that they could only hold on until the afternoon today and had to give up in advance.
When Ye Yaodong went out with them in the morning, he didn't look optimistic. When the boat was moving the goods, he told them again that in the afternoon, if there was not much, they should go to the sea surface to look for it in advance and not stay in the trench.
It was really because he didn't look at it and was worried, so he could only tell them in advance.
Who knew that when he took time to go to the Coast Guard Bureau, he learned that Zeng Weimin had gone to a meeting early in the morning to deal with the gunfight at the dock. He might come back next week, so he asked him to come again next week.
He could only return without success and wait for two more days.
But when he ran back to the dock, he found that the sky, which was originally sunny, suddenly became cloudy and windy.
He looked at the sky while running, muttering to himself, "Why does it feel like a typhoon is coming?"
Only half of the goods were collected at the dock, and everyone saw that the sky suddenly became cloudy and frowned, but they were surprised to see Ye Yaodong running back so quickly, and they didn't care to curse the sky.
"Why did Adong come back so soon?"
"Didn't he just go to the Coast Guard?"
"Dongzi, did you say hello? So soon?"
Ye Yaodong ran out of breath, "He's not here. He said he was going to a meeting to deal with our matter. He won't be back until next week. We have to wait for two more days."
"Oh, we have to wait for two more days. So long."
"Just wait for two more days. We've waited for so long. There's no need to wait for two more days. We can salvage it in these two days."
"It looks like there's no way to salvage it. It looks like it's going to rain."
"The wind is blowing and the sky is overcast."
"It's been sunny all this time. It's been sunny from last month to now. It's good to be able to hold on until now. If it doesn't rain, the river will be dried up."
Ye Yaodong thought that there would be a big typhoon this year. Although it didn't land here, it was also blowing towards the East China Sea. The coastal areas here would definitely be affected. I just don't know when it will come.
Anyway, the months of July, August, September and October are the months with the most typhoons every year. It may be a little less in July.
Seeing the cloudy weather today, he was a little worried.
He ran to the Coast Guard Bureau just after selling the goods and asked the Dongsheng to go back by itself. At this time, there was no trace of the Dongsheng on the sea, but he could wait for these fishing boats to sell their goods and take a ride on a favorable boat.
In the time he ran back and forth, half of the boats had sold their goods and left, and there were not many boats left. His second brother's boat happened to be there. After his second brother sold his goods, he boarded his second brother's boat.
However, before returning to the trench, it started to rain halfway, blurring everyone's vision.
Many small boats rowed towards the shore halfway, and when they were approaching the trench, they also met many fishing boats trying to rush back.
They also happened to meet the Dongsheng going back.
His boat was still very eye-catching. Among the boats, the alternating white and blue colors made it very conspicuous even in the rain. He waved the flag in advance and asked his second brother to approach first.
The deck was full of people, and there were still a bunch of small boats tied behind him, and the jellyfish were probably in the fish tank.
When they saw him on the boat, everyone asked if the people could be rescued.
He had to repeat it again.
"We have to wait for two more days. It rained today. I don't know if it will rain tomorrow. It looks like the wind is quite strong..."
"If it rains, let's take a rest. It's just the right time to wait for the results. I felt that there was not much cargo this morning. Just now, the sky was cloudy, and before it rained, all the jellyfish on the sea surface sank."
"It's good that it's raining. There's no cargo, and we can't salvage it, so there won't be any conflict."
Ye Yaodong thought so too. He would feel bad if he gave up voluntarily, but it would be balanced if no one could salvage it passively due to the weather.
Just before the results came out, there was no need to worry about any more disputes.
"We are lucky. We can still salvage for so many days. It rained when the number of fish decreased."
"Bullshit, people are still inside. This is called good luck."
"I said us, not them. The lucky ones who came out were very lucky, and the unlucky ones were very unlucky."
"That's right."
Ye Yaodong stripped off his wet clothes, went to the cockpit to take over the control of the fishing boat, and took everyone back together.
When they returned to the shore, the rain did not subside but increased. There was no one on the shore. All the fishing boats that should have returned had docked and returned. There were no pedestrians on the road, and all the purchasing points on the dock were closed.
Nowadays, houses are short and small, with only a little eaves. It is impossible to find a place without rain to weigh the goods, so everyone can only wait in the rain.
When the truck came, it brought a roll of nylon bags. Everyone helped to hold it up so that there was a place without rain to weigh the goods. It was a bit embarrassing, but we have experienced more embarrassing situations, so this is nothing to everyone.
But after selling the goods, everyone was in trouble.
On sunny days, everyone slept on the fishing boat with a roll of mats, but now it has rained so hard that there is no place to sleep, except Dongsheng and Fengshou.
Fengshou could not accommodate anyone, so everyone had to go to find Ye Yaodong.
Ye Yaodong had already run away with everyone as soon as he sold the goods.
The group looked left and right, but they didn't see him after a round. After A Guang reminded them, they had to find a guest house to stay.
It was also the next day when A Guang ran to him to play because he was bored on the boat. He knew about it.
"You think I'm omnipotent. You think of me first when something happens, but not when good things happen."
"Who made you the leader? You are the backbone of everyone. You are the most capable among all people."
"Tsk, if they really came last night, I couldn't accommodate them. I could only take them to the guesthouse. I already have more than 30 people here. If they really came to me, it would be inconvenient to go out on this rainy day. I have to take care of their food and drink? You wish."
"It's uncomfortable on rainy days. You can't go anywhere. Fortunately, you are smart and bought a yard."
Ye Yaodong smiled, "Now you know I'm smart, it's good to have a house to shelter from the wind and rain at critical times. At least you don't have to be so embarrassed."
A Guang looked at a group of people gathered in the middle hall. The sound of gambling was lively, which made people feel happy.
"Indeed, everyone can only huddle in a small space. You have a courtyard here, and everyone can take advantage of the rain to rest and gamble."
"We have been working non-stop for more than half a month. We have just relaxed our tense spirits. It would be strange if we don't gamble."
"I will go and gamble too." A Guang rubbed his hands and hurriedly joined.
Ye Yaodong sat on the bench with his feet up as usual, watching the heavy rain outside. A gust of wind blew over, and the rain outside was thrown in a little, soaking his feet.
He had to move the bench further inside.
"It's windy and rainy, it doesn't look good."
There was no TV or radio on hand, and I couldn't listen to the radio. I didn't know if there was a typhoon, so I could only judge by experience.
Typhoon days are the most bizarre. Sometimes the sun is shining brightly, sometimes the wind is howling and it's cool for several days, or there are heavy rains for several days.
Not long after A Guang came, Pei's father also came, and not long after, the remaining people on their boat also came and joined the gambling.
Then someone came to him to ask for an advance on his wages, and he could only stand up and take the money without saying anything.
But it was not over yet.
He took the account book directly, holding a little money in his hand, waiting for someone in the battle to come out to pay him an advance at any time, otherwise, if someone came later, he would have to get up.
A Guang just won more than ten yuan, and he looked very satisfied, "It's not in vain today."
"Do you have to pay me some venue fees?"
He felt that he was sitting here like a stacker, raising money for others at any time.
"How can you still be interested in these little things?"
"No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat. There are dozens of people, and the meat and vegetables alone cost 20 yuan a day. Fortunately, there are some vegetables planted in front and back of this yard, which have helped us for so many days."
A Guang put away the money, moved a chair, sat beside it and asked seriously: "If there is news on Monday, should we deal with the matter and go back?"
"Yes, we will go back immediately after we deal with it. Do you still want to continue fishing here?"
"I'm afraid that the people who just came out didn't make any money, and they got into trouble, and they are unwilling to go back like this."
"If they can really come out, they are lucky and have a good life. They can still stay and continue to fish, and they are not afraid of another accident. I admire him."
"That's true. I'm scared after the first time. I don't think I'll stay for long."
"Well, I'm thinking of going back immediately. If the others don't want to go back, I'll just ignore them and make their own plans."
Although he can continue to fish for sea urchins after the weather clears up, half of the people he has arrested have gone. After they are released, they will definitely be eager to go home.
Being arrested and detained for 10 days and half a month is no less than a disaster for ordinary people. How can they be in the mood to make money for him? He can't ignore everyone's wishes and be unkind, and he has earned enough.
"Tomorrow is another day, and the day after tomorrow we will know the result. We don't know when the rain will stop."
"Whether the rain stops or not, it will not affect the ongoing case."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he saw someone running over to ask him for an advance on his wages, so he just put all the money away and stopped paying.
"That's about it. I've paid all the money. I can't explain it when I go back. I came back empty-handed after working. I didn't earn a penny. My wife will scold me. Okay, those who need to cook, go cook."
After he said that, everyone slowly stopped.
Some counted the money, some sighed.
After waiting for two days, the rain didn't stop for two days, and the wind was even louder.
When Monday came, Ye Yaodong had breakfast and waited for the time. The heavy rain outside didn't stop. When the time came, he could only put on his raincoat and hat and continue to go to the Coast Guard Bureau in the rain.
Today, he was not stood up.
When he went there, Zeng Weimin also said to him straight to the point: "Last week, we held three days of meetings and discussed the solution. I also arranged as much as possible. I can bail your father out directly. There are not many of your relatives, right?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Yes, there are three or four cousins, and seven or eight uncles, and several other relatives..."
Zeng Weimin couldn't help laughing and said with his forehead: "You have too many relatives. They really come here with their families to make money."
"Alas, people in our area like to stick together as a family and neighbors. If you want to make money, you will go together. I didn't expect this to happen this year."
"You have too many people. I don't have the authority to bail out all your relatives."
"Try your best. Although I want everyone to come out, it's not good to make it too difficult for you. I don't dare to expect too much."
He was relieved that his father could be bailed out directly, and others could only try their best.
"You were caught while running away... Again, you participated, you behaved, but you didn't take any responsibility, and it's unlikely that you would be released unscathed. If there were fewer of you, I could still make the decision."
"Can you give me a lighter sentence? I have a lot of relatives..."
"Yes, we've already discussed it. For those of you who have committed less serious crimes and haven't caused any trouble, we've discussed it in a meeting. We can just pay money to redeem you, per head."
