Chapter 1114: Calculating the Broker Account

"We have earned enough now. If you want to earn more, you should go back first. Our people have been redeemed, and the locals will also be redeemed."

"Besides, you have bought a boat, why don't you leave? You bought a local's boat. His family has been destroyed and he has lost his boat. After knowing that we bought it, he will definitely ask around. They can also find out which factory you received the goods from."

"During this period of time, the locals know that we are not leaving. If we continue to stay here, the risk will outweigh the benefits."

Ye Yaodong persuaded a few words, and everyone else nodded immediately.

"You're right. I didn't think it through. I just couldn't bear to part with that little money. Let's wait until the rain stops and the waves are small before we go back together."

Ye Yaodong said again: "I'm going to drive the boat to the safe harbor first. Do you want to go?"

"Now? Why do we have to drive to the safe harbor?"

"It's raining heavily and there are strong winds. It feels like a typhoon is passing by. I don't know when it will stop, and I don't know if there will be stronger winds and rains. Let's stop in the safe harbor first, just in case."

Seeing that it was still pouring rain outside, they had no choice but to agree.

"Then let's all park in the shelter. It just so happens that the boats we bought yesterday have parked in the shelter. Let's drive the remaining boats in today and drive them out together when the rain stops."

"It's just a little troublesome. We have to walk a long way back."

"It's the same thing. It's windy and rainy. We have nothing to do. Let's go."

Some other people who were originally discussing whether to go back or not, heard that they were going to drive the boat to the shelter to avoid the typhoon, so they followed them.

Even if they didn't have any ideas at first, seeing so many people going, they had to follow the crowd. By the way, those who didn't go to redeem the people yesterday had to go.

So a bunch of people went back and forth in the wind and rain, and most of the day passed like this.

When they came back in the afternoon, the house was full of people again. There was no reduction at all. Ye Yaodong saw that they had not left all day today.

He couldn't chase them away, so he let them stay in the main room. After he came back, he took a simple shower, put on shorts, cooked something to eat, and found a room to lie down. He was exhausted after running around for most of the day.

And those who went to the safe haven and came back to the public security bureau to redeem their loved ones have not come back yet.

When he woke up after sleeping for an afternoon, the sky was dim. There were still the sound of rain and wind outside, and the noise in the main room. He looked at his watch and it was almost 5 o'clock.

He walked out of the room and saw that there were more people than during the day. Those who went to redeem their loved ones in the afternoon were all there, even those who had just been redeemed were all there. Did they really think that his place was the base camp? They rushed to his place as soon as they came back?

"What? Are you all here? Don't you want to eat?"

"Haha, I just came back and thought that everyone is here, so I came over to chat."

"What are you talking about?"

"Some people were arrested, but they were not working, and no captain took the initiative to redeem them. When we went there, we had all the money we had, so we couldn't redeem the people who were still inside..."

Ye Yaodong asked curiously: "Who else hasn't been redeemed?"

As soon as he asked, he had a flash of inspiration. He seemed to have seen Ye Yaoguo's name on the list yesterday. He glanced around the room and didn't see it.

At this time, everyone spoke up.

"Aguo and his two cousins, and his wife's two brothers-in-law."

"When we left, we calculated the money and redeemed the people, but we didn't expect that they were still inside and no one redeemed them. The other relatives had already been counted as heads, so we helped to redeem them first."

"After we redeemed the people, while we were still in the lobby to handle the procedures, we heard the police say that there were still a few people inside, and asked us to take them away together. There was also a commotion inside asking everyone to help redeem them."

Ye Yaosheng was a little embarrassed when he told everyone, and everyone looked at him, after all, he was his brother.

He said with embarrassment: "I have remitted all my money back, and I still have the money from the last two days of sales. I used it to redeem the person yesterday. I saw you guys buying a boat yesterday, so I wanted to buy one too. I wanted to ask Dongzi or A Guang to lend me some money, but it didn't work out, so I didn't ask for money."

"Aguo shouted inside, asking you to redeem him first. If you don't have money, you can ask Apeng and Ahua to borrow money."

Everyone's eyes fell on Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua again. Their faces turned dark and their brows furrowed.

Ye Yaohua immediately said: "I just bought a boat yesterday and redeemed someone, and I have no money left."

"What boat did you buy? Why did Ah Sheng say he was buying a boat, and you also said you were buying a boat? What boat did you buy? Where did you buy it yesterday? What do you mean?"

"Yeah, I don't understand. What do you mean by buying a boat? Where did you buy it?"

"How could you buy a boat yesterday in this weather?"

Someone interrupted and said: "They bought fishing boats that were confiscated by the Public Security Bureau. I heard they bought several of them. The newer ones cost 1,800 and the older ones cost 1,500. They got a great bargain."

"You left too fast this morning..."

"Ah? Because of the gunfight, both sides were detained, and the boat was also confiscated? So now it can be sold?"

"Oh my god, we left too fast last night and didn't stay for long. When we came here this morning, we just discussed whether to go back or not. Then when we heard you said you were going to take the boat to a safe harbor, we followed you. Damn..."

"Then didn't we miss it? We can actually buy a boat so cheaply..."

"Don't think so beautifully. It's impossible for us to buy all of them. We have to leave some for local people to buy. Also, the people in our town are almost wiped out, except for a dozen people who followed us. Do you dare to buy the boat in our town? It's strange that you won't be harassed by people when you go back..."

No one wanted Ye Yaodong to speak, everyone talked about everything.

So many people bought boats yesterday. Not long after they came back, their families basically knew about it. Those who didn't know about it basically knew about it all day here today.

Everyone's topic has changed. No one cares whether Aguo and his people have been redeemed. Anyway, they have their brother Ye Yaosheng. Everyone only cares about whether they can buy a boat and regret not going to redeem the people yesterday.

Ye Yaodong looked at everyone discussing there and pulled two people at random, "Have you cooked? It's getting dark, and you've been sitting here chatting all day."

"The meal is ready, and someone is cooking there. It's just that our rice is running out, so we added a little more beans today."

"Okay."

Since the rain, they haven't eaten seafood, only vegetables and dried fish, and they have picked up all the vegetables growing in the yard in the past two days. After the rice is eaten, if the rain doesn't stop, they will probably have to eat pumpkin and potatoes to fill their stomachs. Fortunately, they don't need to work even if it rains.

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically, thinking about buying the boat at a low price first, and then taking advantage of the next few days to fish more here. One more boat would also make more money, and then sell it immediately after returning to make another profit in the process...

Ye Yaodong didn't care about their dreams. No matter how they discussed, he had already taken advantage of them.

He was holding his chin up, thinking about when the rain would stop, so he could quickly drive the boat over and move the materials to the Public Security Bureau.

He was the only one who boldly asked about this matter when he returned yesterday afternoon. No one else heard it, so he simply didn't bring it up. Anyway, whoever followed him to drive the boat to the town would benefit.

"Adong, are you really going to go back when the rain stops?"

"Yes, if you want to stay here to salvage, go to the Ocean Bureau and apply for a fishing report when the rain stops."

"Alas, if you leave, we won't know anything. We will be in the dark and we won't know which way the door of the Ocean Bureau will open."

"Yes, why don't you stay for a few more days? With you here, if something happens, everyone will be at ease. This time, we all rely on you, otherwise everyone will be panicked and don't know what to do. Maybe we are still squatting inside now."

He said lightly: "No, I'm here There are too many people here, so we have to send them back first. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know where the Ocean Bureau is, as long as you have a mouth. ”

“Then you go back, will you come back again?”

“Can’t you also go into the water to catch sea urchins? You can stay until the end of the flood season…”

“I said, there are too many people here, and some of them are in a hurry to go back,” Ye Yaodong frowned, “Are the dishes ready? Let’s eat, it’s getting dark, the rain outside is a little lighter, but the wind seems to be stronger, you should go back early, it’s not good to stay outside on this typhoon day.”

Everyone saw that he was about to eat, and those who knew what was good went back first.

Ye Yaosheng stood in the corner, hesitating all the time. When he saw that everyone was running into the rain and almost gone, he made up his mind and walked to Ye Yaodong and said, "Dongzi, can you lend me 1,000 yuan to redeem them? I don't have enough money on hand."

"Have you sent back all the money from selling jellyfish?"

"Yes, I have sent it back, otherwise I wouldn't have to borrow from you now."

"You can lend it to me. Anyway, I will just deduct it from the dividends when I go back to settle the accounts. But have you ever thought that if you redeem them like this, what if they don't recognize it, or just drag their feet and don't pay you, you will lose money on this trip Isn't it all in vain? Your wife is going to give birth in two or three months, right? "

Ye Yaosheng was tangled and bitter, "There's nothing we can do. My brother has to go and redeem him, and they don't have money. They were arrested right after they came here, and they didn't make any money."

"I have to help redeem their brother-in-law. It won't work if I don't redeem him. My brother and his brothers have to take care of their brother-in-law after they come out. Alas, why did they follow him out? They had to follow him out, not only didn't they make any money, but they also owed a lot of money."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. This was a typical case of getting into trouble for no reason. He should have been the one to follow his elder and second brothers. It was Ye Yaosheng's bad luck.

"So I want you to be careful. Ask someone who can write to write an IOU for you in advance. When you use the money to redeem the person, ask them to sign the IOU. In the Public Security Bureau, they dare not deny the amount of money. They will definitely press their fingerprints. When you go back, if you don't get the money, ask your wife to ask for it."

Ye Yaosheng nodded gratefully, "Okay, I'll ask someone to write a few IOUs for me later, and then ask them to press their fingerprints one by one."

Father Ye said: "Dongzi has paper and pen, just ask him to write a few for you now, and when you bring it to redeem the person tomorrow, ask them to press their fingerprints."

Ye Yaodong: "..."

Just because he knows how to read doesn't mean he can write every word completely, without missing any arms or legs.

"You go find A Guang. He must have account books and paper and pens. I've only attended literacy classes for a few months, so I can recognize most of the characters, but writing, haha..."

"Then my IOU..."

"Forget about your IOU. I still trust you. Anyway, I can just deduct it from the profit share of the fishing boat."

"That's fine."

"I'll go get you the money."

He didn't have much money left. He bought the boat and redeemed the people. He didn't have much money left. He had to rely on A Guang to share the money in two days to pay the wages.

At first, he didn't think he could buy so many boats. He had planned to save the remaining 10,000 yuan to pay the wages when he returned.

Today is the 30th, and tomorrow is the 31st. After the rain stops and the wind calms down, it will be the beginning of the month. It will be almost a full month.

4.5 yuan per person per day, 140 yuan for 31 days a month. He has 29 people from the village, so he has to pay 4,060 yuan in wages.

The 15 city dwellers we picked up along the way started in the middle of the month, so if we calculate it based on half a month, it’s only a little over 1,000.

This trip involved a gunfight and imprisonment, and we were scared. In the past two years, we gave 20 yuan in red envelopes, but this year 20 is not enough, so we have to give 50 yuan.

Damn, it’s all money.

In addition, for the three days of fishing for sea urchins, the 10 people on the boat got an additional 2 yuan subsidy every day, which is another 60 yuan.

His father also has to give a little more, because the labor expenses are too much.

Now that we have agreed to go back, it’s just right to take advantage of these two days to finish the work and redeem the people. We can wait for the weather to clear up before going back and settle the accounts with A Guang.

So far this month, he has earned about 54,000 yuan. He sold more than 700 yuan in the morning of the rainy day, and the jellyfish blood that was dried the day before and the jellyfish blood that was dried half a day on that day were still half-dried in the past few days.

He also hopes that the weather will be sunny soon so that he can sell the last batch of jellyfish blood and sell it for another thousand yuan.

In total, this month's fishing, minus the labor expenses and fuel expenses, can earn more than 40,000 yuan, not counting the agency fee and the share.

After dinner, he took out the account book in the password box and calculated it, and he also knew how much money he had to pay out after the rain stopped.

On the sixth day of the rain, the rain finally became lighter, and the sky was bright in the early morning, as if the haze of the past few days had turned into rain.

Early in the morning, a large group of people all ran to his side. They had just eaten the second wave of pumpkin porridge. There were so many people that they had to take turns to eat.

"It seems that the typhoon has gone and moved to another place. The rain has become lighter."

"It's finally going to be sunny after so many days. If it doesn't clear up, my clothes won't get moldy, but I will."

"I don't know what the tide is like outside the dock..."

"We've seen it. The water level is very high and the waves are quite big. Several small boats have been blown away. Many fishermen have also run out to see."

Ye Yaodong asked again, "You have decided not to go back yet, right?"

The people who just came looked at each other.

Someone hesitated and said, "We still want to stay here for a few more days and make more money. Otherwise, we will be too embarrassed to go back."

"Okay, then you can see for yourself. The rain is about to stop. We will go back after the rain stops and the waves are smaller."

Everyone stopped persuading him to stay. Everyone knew that Ye Yaodong made the most money on this trip. After all, he had so many boats and everyone could see the daily catch.

Although they didn't know how much it was sold for, it was definitely several times more than their fishing boats.

The rain stopped quickly. It was only a little light in the morning, but it stopped completely in the evening. The sky was full of rosy clouds, dyeing the whole sky red. The afterglow of the sunset made the sky brighter than the daytime sky.

The second day after the rain stopped, A Guang also ran to the door with the account book.

Ye Yaodong originally wanted to wait until the waves were small, and planned to settle the accounts and pay wages the night before going back, but he didn't expect him to act so quickly.

"I thought that since I was going back this time, I wouldn't be here to receive the goods. No matter who they sold the goods to, our intermediary's money was almost earned, so it was a good opportunity to settle the accounts before going back."

"I thought of the same thing. I was thinking of that too, but I'll settle the accounts and pay the wages when I'm ready to go back."

He had originally thought of moving the supplies to the Public Security Bureau after the rain stopped today, and hiring a tractor to bring them back directly, otherwise the town's dock would really not be able to dock anymore. Now that the rain has stopped, the town will probably have to start redeeming people.

"Well, I'm free now, so I'll settle it now."

It's too late, so I'll send it out first. This is the update for today, and I'll try to make up for it tomorrow night
