Chapter 1146 Upgraded

Zeng Weimin breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It's just a big fish. It's such a big move and it's attracting such a large group of people. The rumors are really scary."

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly and explained: "There are no tractors at the dock at this time, so we can only bring them over. Otherwise, just letting the tractors pull over will not attract so many people."

This is indeed the case. Many fishing boats go out to sea in the morning or at night, and only come back in the afternoon or evening. At this time, the tractors go to other places to pull goods, other docks or to carry people, and there is nothing at the dock there. people.

"Okay, just send the people away. As for this fish...should we carry it in first? Otherwise, let it dry in the sun, or it will be damaged by the sun."

"I didn't contact the people at the research institute in advance, so I don't know if I want this fish..."

…

Ye Yaodong didn't know who these speakers were. Anyway, some spoke local dialects and some spoke Mandarin. He just stood aside silently, like a follower.

They talked back and forth, and finally decided to carry it to the Marine Police Station and put it there, then sprinkle some ice cubes on it, and ask someone from the Ocean Bureau to call the institute to come over and take a look. Look, pull the fish away.

Ye Yaodong also asked several of his workers to help carry all the fish in. After they were done, the others left work in twos and threes, and only Zeng Weimin stayed at the end.

He said to Ye Yaodong: "If you donate, you will donate for free. There are no rewards or anything like that..."

"I understand, I know, it couldn't be sold in the first place."

Zeng Weimin nodded, "Well, everyone is tired from working back and forth, so you should go back to eat first. The matter of the association will not be finalized so soon. I will tell you when it is finalized in ten days and a month."

"Okay, okay, thank you."

Ye Yaodong hesitated for a moment and said, "Will this fish be made into a specimen after the research is completed?"

"should be."

"Then when the specimen is made, the origin must be clearly stated. Can it be marked with my name? Haha..."

Zeng Weimin also smiled and said, "I will tell you when the time comes. I will definitely write down the origin. But if you didn't tell me, it will probably be written on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month. It was donated by local fishermen."

"I knew it would be like this, so I asked, haha, after all, it was a hard-earned salvage, and it's worth it to leave a famous name."

"Ask me then."

"Okay, sorry for the trouble, let's go back first without delaying the leader's get off work. It's already past twelve o'clock now, and it's long past the off work time."

He nodded.

Ye Yaodong led a group of people out first.

Fortunately, there were still two people left at home to look after the house. When they got home dripping with sweat, they would have food to eat immediately, so they didn't have to wait to go hungry.

During the meal, everyone was discussing the gossip of the local citizens and complaining about the huge changes in the rumors. They were really spreading nonsense.

"Finally we have done this. We have been out in the sun all the way back and forth. It is very hot. Everyone has a good rest in the afternoon. In the evening, we will see how the fishing nets are repaired. If the repairs cannot be completed, we will borrow a trolley to pull the fishing nets back. Let the two women mend it in our yard tomorrow, so as not to delay going to sea tomorrow. "

Father Ye hesitated for a moment, "I guess they wouldn't be happy if we asked those two women to come to our yard to mend the net, right? Our house is full of men, more than a dozen people. If those two women came to our yard to mend the net, they would probably be unhappy. Worry about being judged.”

That's true. It would be nice if there were women here. They were all men, and they were all from outside the country. If two women came to the door, they would probably be frightened.

The fishing net is too big. If it is mended at the door, most of the road will be occupied, which will affect the passage of vehicles and will be scolded. After all, it is a house facing the street.

It was okay to go to the boat to mend the net. In broad daylight, everyone could see that it was serious work.

"Forget it, if they can't make it up today, let them go to the boat to make it up tomorrow, and we'll have one more day's rest. When I was selling goods yesterday, I heard from locals that they couldn't go very deep, and they didn't see anything at all. Sea urchin, just give it a day longer tomorrow, I’ll probably try them all and give up, and it won’t affect us by then.”

"I'm just afraid that some people won't like us..."

"What are you afraid of? After all, it's still the flood season for Jellyfish. They all have to rush to make as much money as possible before the flood season ends. They have no time to manage our place, and we can't bring benefits to them. When the flood season is about to end, we It's probably about to be finished, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

"All right."

Father Ye didn't say anything more.

After everyone finished eating, they went to take a shower, then went to catch up on their sleep and rested for a long time.

The next day, because the fishing net had not been repaired, we continued to rest for another day.

Ye Yaodong also took advantage of his free time to make a phone call. Yesterday morning, the boatmen went together to make phone calls, and he hadn't even gotten around to it yet.

Today is the sixth day since I came out.

His father was the only one who took the time to make a phone call on the second day after he came to Zhejiang Province to report that he was safe. The workers also called back together yesterday, so he was the busiest and kept busy.

Taking advantage of his free time and enough rest today, he also called home.

As soon as Lin Xiuqing answered his call, her first words hurt him.

"I thought you bought a house there and married a new wife, so you stopped calling."

"Nonsense, I'm just a wife."

"That means having a lover."

"Nonsense, there are more than a dozen men around me, how can I find a woman for myself? If I want to find one, I have to arrange one for each of them, otherwise I will be exposed. I just found a woman, and within half a day, there must be a phone call back to the village."

The other end of the phone immediately came Ye's mother's scolding, "Your father is an old man, you find him a woman, half a foot can make him step into the coffin."

"Hehe, just say you are not without lust, it's just because there are too many people around, it's inconvenient."

"You fucking..." Ye Yaodong cursed speechlessly, "Don't talk nonsense, when it gets out, it will become that I took them to find women, not to work and make money. I'm just a little busy these two days, and there are things one after another."

"Then how did you have time to call back today?"

"The fishing net was damaged by a big fish. It was inconvenient to invite people to my house, so I asked people to go to the fishing boat to repair it, so today is a rare free time."

Lin Xiuqing spoke properly and asked about the recent situation. Ye Yaodong also reported the situation to her.

"I'm busy like a top, I don't get enough sleep, and you still think I'm going to find a woman."

"Dad, it doesn't matter, you find an aunt, and I'll find an uncle for mom, one for grandma, one for mom, and one for me..."

The sudden childish words made him dumbfounded, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

There were also several laughs and scolds from the other end of the phone.

"You are so filial, you don't forget to find one for yourself after being filial."

"I haven't finished yet... I have to talk to dad on the phone..." Ye Xiaoxi held the phone tightly, not letting Lin Xiuqing take it away.

Lin Xiuqing's voice also came from inside, "What are you talking about? You're talking nonsense."

"Dad, you have to make money, eat well, sleep well, and then buy me a gift when you come back."

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it if you behave."

Ye Xiaoxi nodded heavily holding the phone, "Well, I'll behave..."

"Behaved, what the hell, Yangyang went to the mountain to herd sheep yesterday, and she also secretly went to the mountain to play, so I looked everywhere for her, the whole village, but I couldn't find her, I was almost going crazy. By noon It was time for dinner, Yangyang came back crying and said her sister was missing, and I realized that they had gone to the mountain together. "

"Didn't she go to the mountain with me? Why did she disappear?"

"She went to climb trees and steal other people's pears, and then she fell asleep in the grass when she was tired. Yangyang looked for her everywhere, calling everywhere, and when she couldn't find her, she ran back to tell me out of fear. When I was about to run to the mountain to look for her, someone had already brought her back, saying that she had fallen asleep with several pears in her arms."

Now, Ye Yaodong couldn't say that she was well behaved.

"Then I wanted to compensate them, but they said it was not necessary. Such a young child was ignorant, so forget it, they didn't lose anything. I simply bought two kilograms of pears later. Those two gave me a good beating yesterday."

"So you wanted to vent your anger on me as soon as you answered the phone today! I said why you answered the phone and talked like you had eaten dynamite, you really take your anger out on others."

"No way."

"This damn girl is so naughty. She can run more and more as she grows older. She even sneaked to the mountains and climbed trees. I really need to beat her up."

Ye Xiaoxi shouted on the other end of the phone, "No."

She is also very thick-skinned. She was just beaten yesterday, but today she is full of energy and shouting loudly. She has no awareness of keeping a low profile.

Ye's mother was also on the other end of the phone and asked: "Where is your father? Did he come out with you to call?"

"No, it's too hot. He said I should call to report my safety. Anyway, he called a few days ago, so he won't come with me."

"Old man, who doesn't feel hot? I feel hot too..."

Ye Yaodong listened to his mother's long-winded scolding of his father, and asked him a few questions with concern before returning the phone to Lin Xiuqing.

He didn't talk for long. He asked about his recent situation and just said that he would call again after a few days when he had remitted money back, and then hung up.

He had a smile on his face all the way home. His family was his motivation for struggle.

After the fishing nets were repaired in the evening, he received his wages and took people out to sea to fish for sea urchins the next day.

It was only the beginning of September. Jellyfish were floating on the sea all the way, and the surrounding fishing boats were chasing the jellyfish within sight.

He stood on the rudder tower with a telescope to look around, thinking that just looking for jellyfish on the sea every day, those small boats could probably make a good income during this period, at least a few dozen yuan a day, much better than the work of ordinary people.

When they were approaching the trench, he also looked with a telescope. It was still empty there, with only two fishing boats moving quickly in the opposite direction of the trench. They probably really salvaged all the fish.

He went out to sea at 5 o'clock, and it was only 7 o'clock when he arrived. There was nothing left. The salvage was really too clean.

That was just right, it was convenient for them to salvage sea urchins.

When they arrived at the destination, they went into the water as soon as possible according to the combination arranged a few days ago, and tried to go into the water as many times as possible within a limited time.

Although it is not advisable to go into the water too many times a day, they are only for a short period of a few days, not for a long time. As long as the body can bear it and there is no discomfort, it is okay to go into the water a few more times.

Before leaving, Ye Yaodong also left 5 yuan for them to buy meat. They were provided with delicious food and drinks every day. After just a few days out, he felt that everyone's face was rosier than at home.

After a day of fishing today, several boats came to take a look. They were probably unwilling to give up and wanted to see if there were any more jellyfish. However, after seeing them, they left immediately.

Some people also stopped to watch for a while out of curiosity, but the people who went into the water didn't come up so quickly. After staying for a while, they couldn't wait to turn around and leave after seeing nothing. A few more minutes of delay might have made them lose a few cents.

After a smooth day of fishing, today's harvest was a little more than the previous few days.

After returning to the shore, he still sold to the same person as usual. Today, he salvaged 2,865 kilograms and sold it for 630 yuan, which was another large sum of money.

Although it can't be compared with the big wave of profit the day before yesterday, it is already a big profit compared to the normal day's net towing by the Dongsheng, and it is even more profitable compared to those who are fishing for jellyfish at sea.

Although selling for a few hundred yuan is a lot, referring to his boat, the locals will feel that it is reasonable to make more than their small boats. After all, such a large boat consumes fuel and labor, and the cost is several times higher than that of a small boat.

When someone was discussing it, someone also used this sentence to refute it.

As long as he didn't sell for several thousand yuan at once, selling for five or six hundred yuan wouldn't be considered too much.

He had only been out for seven days, and he had already earned 6,000 yuan, which was considered very fast.

The next few days were very calm, but it rained after a few days of work, so they had to stop working and rest, and wait for the rain to stop and the sun to come out before they could work.

But after the rain stopped, it was cloudy again, and they tried to go out to sea once, but they had to return empty-handed.

Because it was cloudy, the sky was gloomy, and the visibility under the water was too low. The trench was originally a dark trench. Without good weather, they couldn't see the bottom and couldn't salvage. Visibility is very important.

After a week of intermittent suspension, they resumed normal salvage.

But when Ye Yaodong came back that day, the boatman left at home told him that the people from the Coast Guard came to his house in the afternoon and asked him to go back.

"Didn't you say I must be back in the evening?"

"Yes, he said if you come back late and they are off work, then go there tomorrow morning."

"Oh."

Father Ye was a little nervous, "Why did the Coast Guard come to you? We haven't done anything recently?"

Once bitten, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years.

After being sent to the police station, he felt his calves shaking when he heard the police looking for him, fearing that something bad would happen again.

"I didn't do anything. I'll go check it out tomorrow. I guess maybe the jellyfish association has been finalized, so they asked me to go over."

Father Ye breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "They're calling you to be an official. That's a good thing. I thought they were going to talk to us about some trouble."

"With Director Zeng here, there won't be any big trouble."

"It feels good to have a noble person supporting me wherever I go. At least I don't have to worry about being a foreigner and getting into trouble."

"I'm a lucky person."

"Don't be so confident..."

That's the fact. Ye Yaodong felt that he should be lucky. Everything he did in this life went smoothly.

At first, he wasn't so confident. He felt that he had a lot of luck to be reborn. The smooth sailing in the next two years also made him firmly believe that he was a lucky person. Who knows, he might be a good person for ten generations.

He changed the subject, "Then I won't go out to sea with you tomorrow morning. Dad, you take them out to sea. I'll go to the Coast Guard tomorrow to see if it's about the association."

"Okay, one less person means one less person."

Ye Yaodong's guess was not wrong.

The next morning after receiving the notice, he waited until work time to go to the Coast Guard, and then Zeng Weimin told him that after several days of discussion, no jellyfish association was established, but a fishery association was established, and the jellyfish sub-item was also included in the fishery association.

He was stunned for a moment before he realized that the vice president position he had obtained was gone?

He was so arrogant that he blew it away.

"Get ready. There will be a meeting at around 2pm tomorrow. The meeting will be held at the Ocean Bureau. You must remember to go and give your name. Here is a document charter. Take a look. As the vice president, you must stand up and say a few words."

"Ah?"

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? Let me tell you, this fishery association covers a lot of things. It is not like the jellyfish association you mentioned at the beginning, which only manages the fishing, production and distribution of jellyfish. This fishery association now covers the entire fishery industry."

"You are an outsider, so let me help you argue that there should be no discrimination based on region. I am also an outsider, so can't I come here to work? What's more, you bought a house here, so you are also a local. "You are just a name."

"A few days ago, you donated such a big fish to the institute, which was considered to show your face. The institute was also very happy to have such a research material. They all praised you for your awareness and stumbled upon it by accident."

"Having an outsider here can better integrate fishermen from all over the world. Our pier is not only for local fishing boats, but also for foreign fishing boats. After all, Wenzhou is close to Fujian Province. This can also play a role in publicity. Our local people do not discriminate against outsiders."

He was silent for a while, "Although they do discriminate against outsiders who don't speak the local language, their attitude must be shown. That is to say, I was the first to bring it up after you reminded me, and I can still say a few words, otherwise I would have no place to speak."

Ye Yaodong was hit by a pie, and he forgot to be happy. After hearing this, he thought that it was probably because it was just established in the early stage, and these people didn’t know anything, and they were just messing around, so they didn’t care so much.

This local fishery association is not comparable to a small jellyfish association. This social group is very representative.

Not to mention that he is the vice president!

He was really confused. The China Fisheries Association has not been established yet, and it was disturbed by his super consciousness. Now the local fishery association has been established first?

After Ye Yaodong digested the news and reacted, he bowed deeply to the leader.

"Thank you, leader. I am a foreigner. Although I bought a house here, I cannot speak the local dialect. I will definitely be discriminated against. However, it is an honor to be listed here. I am just an ordinary fisherman. It is a blessing to meet you."

"Xenophobia is very serious here. The master leads you to the door, and the practice depends on yourself. You can do it yourself from now on. To tell you the truth, I am also excluded."

"Haha, leader, try to learn to speak the local dialect, so that you will not be excluded."

He nodded, "This is indeed a way. Only with a common language can we better integrate into the local community."

In fact, there is another way, but it does not apply to Zeng Weimin, but to him. It is to become a local entrepreneur. As long as you have money, who will not respect you?

However, he dare not think about this. He only has a little extra money now.

What's more, if you dare to become an entrepreneur now, people will eat you up immediately.

Since you are so rich, donate some money to build bridges and roads; since you are so rich, donate some money to build schools and hospitals; since you are so rich, donate some money to support local construction...

If you want to become a famous local entrepreneur, you have to wait for a few years until the environment improves.

In the final analysis, you still have to learn the local dialect first and try not to be excluded.

"Then...is my position as vice president now a done deal?"

"Not necessarily yet. I have only registered now. I have to make a speech after the meeting tomorrow afternoon. Only when my name is on the list will it be a done deal."

"I understand. I will go back and prepare the speech for the meeting."

"It is best to publish all the suggestions you have in mind, especially the jellyfish association you mentioned before. You can mention this in a targeted manner and it is best to mention some useful contacts."

"Okay."

He is sure of this. He still knows a lot about this, especially some subsequent developments. He can propose a plan for jellyfish farming, let the local area build a jellyfish hometown, and vigorously promote farming. That is probably enough.

After all, now everything depends on the original ecological resources of the ocean, and no one has thought about aquaculture. If he advocates it earlier, he will also have a share of credit for developing in this direction in the future.

As for whether anyone will listen to him after he says it, it is not within his scope of concern.

Anyway, as long as he is the first to propose it, it will only show that he has foresight and foresight.

After discussing with the leader what he would say, Ye Yaodong took a list and went back.

On the way back, he was thinking that if he really became the vice president of the fishery association here, he would really have to come here often every year, at least he must be here during the flood season, and then it would be best if he could do something locally.

Alas... This person is too lucky, but also a little troubled. Wherever he goes, he sets up a stall, a sweet burden.

I thought it would be good to come here every year to earn a few months of money, but now I think I still have to run something here.

As he walked, he would occasionally pick up the list and take a look at it. After taking a look, his mind was full of imagination. He even thought of people respectfully calling him President Ye, General Manager Ye, and Chairman Ye in the future.

In the past, he only imagined that people would call him Ship King Dong, but now his imagination was more advanced.

It was still broad daylight, so he should stop dreaming. He quickly shook his head and walked back quickly with the list.

As soon as he got home, he immediately picked up the paper and pen and started writing non-stop. The boatmen couldn't help but come over to look at him.

"Adong, what are you writing? It's like my child writing an essay."

"Don't make noise, go and do your own thing, don't bother me."

He was very excited. He had already imagined doing a big job in his mind. He had a strong desire to express himself and wanted to write down everything he thought of first.

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and really couldn't understand what he wrote. Those who stayed at home were all old and could only write their own names at most.

He was the boss, and he told them to stop arguing, so they could only stop disturbing him.

But everyone was really curious. From the time he came back until lunch, Ye Yaodong sat there writing non-stop. People who didn't know him thought he was some kind of intellectual.

During lunch, everyone saw him stop and asked a few questions.

"Did the people from the Coast Guard ask you to go there today? Is there something?"

Ye Yaodong grinned, "The city is going to set up a fishery association, not a jellyfish association. I was nominated as the vice president. There will be a meeting at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon for me to make a speech, so I'm just preparing."

"Ah? Why did it change?"

"Which one is bigger, the fishery association or the jellyfish association?"

"Silly, of course it's the Fisheries Association. The Fisheries Association immediately knows that it can represent the entire fishery. That is to say, it has just been reorganized and is still a grassroots team, so it is not so particular and can still catch me. However, your boss, I can only It’s just a name, but that’s enough.”

Ye Yaodong smiled happily.

"Is that a bigger official?"

"Not really, I've said it before. Now I'm just a member of the grassroots team. I don't know if I'll be kicked out in the future, but I'm still a veteran after all!"

"It sounds very powerful. It's so amazing. You, a foreigner, can come here and become the president. It's so good, so awesome."

"Deputies, deputies, they say there are five deputies, don't be too happy too early."

Although he said this, his smile was brighter than anyone else's.

"Then A Dong, after you become the president here, do you have to live here?"

"No, didn't you tell me? I just put my name on it. In fact, it's just to sell face to the leaders. They are just balancing all parties. The leaders of various local departments must be from other places and some from the local area. They must be officials. It also requires a balance in all aspects.”

"Maybe I am the product of their balance. What does it matter if I am with you or not? It's just that for me, it sounds nice to say it out loud."

Everyone was confused when listening to what he said. They didn't understand what he was talking about. They felt they understood it, but they felt they didn't understand it. Anyway, it sounded very high-level!

After all, when it comes to being an official, nothing ordinary people can understand.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but shine with envy.

"You are really going to be a high official!"
