Chapter 1147 Fishery Association Established

"Bring honor to the family!"

"Our village can actually produce an official who goes to another province. It's amazing. He can get an official position by catching a jellyfish."

"Your father is so lucky. Now he can walk sideways in the village. His face is proud."

"Why are you still fishing? You don't need to fish. You can just be an official in the city. Why do you have to work so hard?"

Ye Yaodong quickly stretched out his hand, "What's the connection? I'm just a figurehead. There's no salary and no rights. It's still a makeshift team. I can't make a living from this. If you want to make money, you still have to fish. If I don't fish, I'll starve to death?"

What's more, the facts have long proved that he is powerful in shipping. He has such a good cheating artifact and ran to the city to be a mascot for others, ordering people around. It's better to be free and easy on the sea.

I have long understood that I am just a figurehead. The name sounds good, so that people who don't know the reason will envy it and it sounds good when it is said. In fact, who takes him seriously? He is an outsider.

If he can't see clearly and takes himself seriously, he will have to go back to his hometown in a few days.

If he knows his position and acts as a mascot, he may be able to sit in the position of vice president for a few years and brag for a few years.

"Then...then he is also the vice president. This title sounds so great, just like the vice mayor, so powerful..."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but twitch his mouth, "You really think highly of me, you are really good at making analogies."

"Then Adong, you have written so much on this paper, do you have to speak under the national flag tomorrow? Will there be a large group of people watching?"

"We will all go to applaud you tomorrow afternoon to increase your popularity. We can't let you be looked down upon by others, or our palms will be swollen from applauding you."

"Yes, yes, yes, after dinner, we will tell the villagers to come and support you tomorrow afternoon..."

"Wait, what are you thinking about? A speech under the national flag? You really have a lot of imagination, there is no speech, probably just a group of people in the meeting taking turns to speak. Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you." Ye Yaodong was a little helpless, and his imagination was exaggerated.

"Don't you need it?"

"No, you don't have to do anything, hurry up and eat, this has nothing to do with you, you don't need to get involved. If you really want to help, go into the water and replace me, anyway, those who go into the water will get a two-dollar subsidy."

The remaining three old men looked at each other.

"Then let's take turns to go out and try. Seeing that your father can't do it, we also thought we couldn't do it."

"My father can, but he's old, so I didn't let him go into the water. You are the same, you are all a little old, so I didn't think of letting you go down and try, and don't force it. Five people in the water are almost enough, and someone has to stay at home to watch and cook."

This is completely true, not polite. The manpower called out is planned. It is impossible to only hire a few people when there are a few people going into the water. Someone has to stay at home to watch the house and cook. There are also people on the fishing boat who take shifts at night, after all, they are in another place.

"Oh, then we will still take turns on the boat at night, and look after the house during the day, fetch water and chop firewood."

Ye Yaodong nodded and said nothing. If he was willing to try, he would try. If he was not willing, forget it.

After dinner, he continued to sort out his drafts.

In the past two years, he has not stopped reading newspapers. As long as he is at home, he will make up for the newspapers he has not read, but he writes less.

Most of the characters are recognized, but sometimes they are missing when he writes them. Only he can recognize them. If they are too complicated, he sometimes writes half of them and replaces the remaining half with circles and crosses.

You only regret not having enough books when you need them. If you really write, he will scratch his hair. It is too ugly. He is embarrassed to show this draft paper to others. It looks very uneducated.

He took a pen to write and draw, supplemented it, and then sighed.

"It seems that it's not Ye Chenghu who should practice calligraphy, but me. Damn, I'll go buy a copybook when I go out later. I have to practice calligraphy at the last minute. I don't know when I can use it again. This handwriting is a bit embarrassing."

"I think it's pretty good. I can only write numbers, circles, crosses and words."

Ye Yaodong glanced at the three curious people beside him, folded the paper again and again, and then put it in his pocket.

He didn't say anything, someone next to him said it for him.

"Dongzi is a boss. Can he be like us rough people? What's more, we are all old. Who knows how many years we can live? He is still a young man. He will soon become an official. He must have written a lot of words and signed his name in the future. Of course, he has to write better for people to see."

This is right, and it hits his heart.

Other characters don't need to be practiced for the time being. He has to practice his signature first.

That's it.

In the afternoon, he solved the problem of the speech and started writing his own name. Although he didn't know when it would be useful, he had to write his own name first.

Full of passion, stimulated by the title of vice president of the Fisheries Association, which he had never dared to think about, he felt like he had been injected with chicken blood, and his whole body was full of energy.

If he had this enthusiasm when he was studying, why would he worry about not being admitted to the top university?

All the enthusiasm in his body was now focused on this, but he was really a little bit enthusiastic. After writing it all, the effect of the chicken blood wore off, and his enthusiasm also slowed down. He put down his pen and went back to his room to sleep.

After the sun went down, Ye's father and his friends came back, and then he went to the dock to help.

When Ye's father saw him, he asked about the Coast Guard calling him over today.

Ye Yaodong also explained everything in detail, and Ye's father was stunned. His first reaction was the same as everyone else's. His first reaction was that he had been promoted?

He had to explain it again, asking his father not to be so happy so early, it was just a title.

"That's also a glory for the family. He's become a big official all of a sudden, and it's more powerful than what you said before. The title sounds different."

Ye's father's old face was full of wrinkles from smiling, and he was so happy that he even muttered a few words of ancestors' blessing.

"Have you called home to tell them? You should also tell your family members to make everyone happy in advance. This trip was not in vain. You have made money and gained fame."

"Why are you in a hurry? Things have not been completely settled yet, so there are still variables. Don't rush to promote it now, lest you brag and make a fool of yourself later."

"Ah, that's right, then wait until you have a meeting tomorrow at noon to confirm it. Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, lest you be laughed at."

After saying this, Ye's father couldn't help laughing again, "Hey... you really have made progress."

"Hurry up and move the goods, and then go home after moving."

"Yes, yes, yes, sell the goods quickly, and talk slowly when you get home."

It was rare that he was not here today and didn't go into the water, so the harvest was really reduced, with a few hundred kilograms less.

Originally, after the rain stopped, they could harvest about 3,000 kilograms of goods in the few days of intermittent salvage. This time it was reduced to more than 2,300 kilograms, and they sold it for a little over 500 yuan.

Father Ye looked at them counting the money and stretched his neck to see, "So much is missing? Without you, we have lost more than 100 yuan. I saw the goods today and knew that some of them were missing, but I didn't expect that much."

"Well, let's talk about it when we get back."

Ye Yaodong also felt sorry for the money he lost. It was too much, but he would definitely not be able to go out to sea tomorrow.

Fortunately, it was only two days.

He comforted himself.

Anyway, he could only salvage the sea urchins below now, and others couldn't salvage them, so they belonged to him. It didn't matter if he salvaged less now, because it didn't get any cheaper for others anyway. He could just salvage more in the future.

Thinking of this, he didn't feel sad, because it was all his anyway.

After returning, Father Ye thought about arranging another shift for the five people to take turns, rest less, and try not to miss any. Today, there were three teams of five people, and only one person in one team went down, so one was missed.

But Ye Yaodong felt it was unnecessary and stopped his father.

Fortunately, his father just came in and mentioned it when he took the money back to the house to hide it.

He explained: "Frequent diving is harmful to the body. They now have six or seven trips a day, which is enough. If they don't have a break in between, their bodies can't bear it. If you let five people take turns and don't let them take a break, then at least everyone has to do two more trips. That's too harmful. It won't work."

"Didn't it happen?"

"It looks fine, but accidents happen. Fortunately, it has been raining intermittently during this period, and we don't go out to sea every day. We can give everyone a break. We can't increase the workload. Let's just leave it like this. Anyway, no one is stealing our goods."

"Okay then."

"Just consider the loss as the rainy day. It rained intermittently a few days ago. If you really count it as a loss, it would be a loss of several thousand yuan, right? Now It's only a loss of a hundred yuan a day, so it's not a big deal. "

"Okay, you're right."

Father Ye didn't refute, but changed the subject and asked: "Do you have any power after becoming the vice president?"

"No."

"No power? Then are there any benefits?"

"If there are any benefits, it's probably a good reputation. You can brag in front of people who don't know. When you return home, the whole village will know about it and feel proud."

"That's it?"

"That's it. Didn't I say before that it's just a name, and the reputation is good. Be content, others want to take advantage of this but have no chance, and this is what the leaders helped to fight for."

Father Ye was a little disappointed, thinking he could be glorious.

Before listening to Ye Yaodong's words at the dock, Father Ye just listened to what he wanted to hear and didn't care about the others. Besides, it was inconvenient to talk outside because there was noise. Now he really understood.

"Well... that's good, it's not bad, at least you have a title, and it's higher than expected, that's better, just have a title first, and take your time later, it will be fine once you get familiar with him."

Ye Yaodong didn't discourage him.

"Then you hurry up and prepare, and get this done tomorrow afternoon, so we can call back and tell the folks that you are an official here."

Father Ye adjusted himself and quickly accepted it, smiling again, with a proud look on his face, it was too late to brag.

He flattened his lips and didn't say anything.

There were quite a lot of people at the meeting the next day. It was estimated that there were 30 or 40 people sitting in an empty room, with an empty space in the middle. Everyone sat in two or three circles, and then took turns standing in the middle to speak.

When the first person went up to introduce himself, Ye Yaodong was completely confused. Everyone spoke in the local dialect. He didn't listen to a word, and asked the person next to him quietly. The person next to him glanced at him and didn't say a word.

After cursing in his mind, "td, what's so great about a local?", he turned his head, sat up straight, pretended to listen seriously, and then when others applauded, he also applauded.

When the second person came up, he spoke in local dialect again, and he had to sit calmly, looking confused.

But at this time, someone on the other side patted him twice out of curiosity, and then talked to him in local dialect. He said something directly, but I couldn't understand him, I'm from out of town.

The man was surprised for a moment, then immediately switched to Mandarin and said, "Oh, I see, you are the fisherman vice-president from other places."

Ye Yaodong nodded reservedly.

"It's amazing. You are a foreigner and a fisherman, and you can sneak in and become the vice president. It's amazing. And you don't look like a fisherman at all. You look so upright, I thought you were a soldier. Don't all fishermen As black as charcoal, with a weathered face? "

"It's just a promotion from the leader." He touched his face again, "I don't know how to tan."

"I thought the fisherman vice-president who was thrust in would be an old man in his fifties or sixties. I didn't expect him to be so young and so handsome. My name is Fang Jingfu, you can call me Ah Fu. I am also the vice-president. , My dad works at the Oceanographic Research Institute. He was very happy when I heard that you donated the big fish the day before yesterday. He said that he studies shrimps every day and it is rare for a rare big fish to be sent to you. "

Ye Yaodong was surprised, "So you were stuffed in too."

"What nonsense are you telling the truth, brother, everyone is the same." Fang Jingfu pursed his lips towards the person who was speaking, "Look, this person who is speaking has also been stuffed in. He is the son of the president of the chamber of commerce that was just established in the past two years. The president who spoke first is from the Ocean Bureau..."

Ye Yaodong listened to his eloquent talk about the combination of this grass-roots team, and he immediately knew that this was really a grass-roots team, which was built after a balance between various departments.

In addition to the president, there are several directors and secretary-generals. Half of them were stuffed in from here and there, and the remaining half were some idle personnel transferred from other departments. They were asked to supervise and do practical work, and then they were handed over after they became regular.

Then, after today's meeting is over, there will be news and newspaper announcements that the Fisheries Association will be officially established, and then by the way, new people will be recruited. Major Fisheries Associations will train talents. New people who come in will have to pay another membership fee.

Of course, they, the senior backbones, also had to pay membership fees for start-up capital, which was a trivial matter to Ye Yaodong.

Fang Jingfu seemed to be a talker too. He kept talking when he caught Ye Yaodong and pointed out everyone he knew present to him.

It wasn't until the person speaking in the middle changed and Fang Jingfu's name was called that he stood up instinctively, called out, then smiled sarcastically, took out the scratch paper in his pocket and started speaking.

But this time he did not speak the local dialect, but Mandarin.

Ye Yaodong listened to his talk with excitement. After he finished speaking, he clapped cooperatively. Then when he came down, another person came up. Ye Yaodong's name had not been called yet.

"How do you speak Mandarin? Don't you all speak local dialect?"

Fang Jingfu folded the draft paper in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket, "I just graduated from college and I have always spoken Mandarin in school, so I speak Mandarin."

Ye Yaodong gave him a thumbs up, "That's great, college students, there's no limit to it."

"Hey, I couldn't pass the technical secondary school entrance examination, so I randomly enrolled in a junior college. I was originally assigned to the tractor factory, but my father got me to the research institute again and asked me to work for him. Now he got me here again. Give it to me. It’s a beautiful name.”

"It's amazing. He has many jobs. It's not like me who is uneducated and only knows how to fish."

"As I said, with three hundred and sixty, you will be the number one scholar. You are also very good. I have seen your boat. It is quite big. I heard that the boat costs tens of thousands."

"Haha, it's not as valuable as a college student like you."

"Do you go to sea every day? Do you often catch some rare and big fish?"

"It's not necessarily rare big fish, but you can still see a lot of magical scenes on the sea and various strange phenomena of marine life?"

Fang Jingfu suddenly became interested, but after the person in the middle finished speaking, Ye Yaodong was suddenly called by name.

Ye Yaodong's nerves that had just relaxed immediately became tense, and he quickly stood up with a serious face.

The people around him looked at him in surprise and whispered in low voices.

Don't tell me, if he hadn't said he was a fisherman, no one would have guessed that he was.

After all, he is tall, has long legs, has a correct body shape, and his face is whiter than the average person, at least whiter than the people present, and he is also very young. This is because he has tanned a little during this period and looks a little more mature. Otherwise, he would look the same as before. It's a pretty boy.

Moreover, I lost my bald head last month, and after a month and a half, the bald head that has now grown out gives people the first impression that it looks more like a soldier.

Everyone whispered and had a better impression of him. When they first learned that there was a fisherman vice president from out of town, they all guessed that he was an old man in his fifties or sixties with a weathered face.

Looking at it now, he is taller and more handsome than everyone present. Personal image is quite important. The first sense is better, and at least he can have a good impression. Although he is still xenophobic, he is not as disdainful as before. .

Ye Yaodong had read the draft paper dozens of times. He was familiar with the content. After all, it was written by him. When he spoke, he only glanced at it occasionally, and most of the time he looked at everyone sitting in the room.

And what he said was refreshing. Those who had just spoken were very official, only saying how they would do their job well, how to praise the Fishery Association, and optimistic about the development of the Fishery Association.

What he said was very targeted jellyfish suggestions, and the prospects for the breeding of some marine organisms, promoting the breeding industry, and building a jellyfish hometown. This is a resource given by the ocean because of its geographical location, and it must be used.

Then he also suggested supporting more marine research, and advocating that the government give some preferential policies for fish production.

When he finished speaking, everyone was thinking there, and Fang Jingfu took the lead in applauding, leading everyone to stop whispering and applaud.

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed before returning to his seat.

"Great! You speak so clearly. Everyone else speaks so vaguely, but I didn't expect you to speak so realistically."

"Haha, because I'm a fisherman, I've been in contact with the ocean more than you have, I float on the sea every day, and I have a deeper understanding of the ocean than you do. I just want our country to develop the ocean better, and we can develop better and better in the future, surpassing some of the neighboring countries."

Fang Jingfu nodded with a smile on his face, and his expression was particularly agreeable, "You are right, we should promote more marine research. The more things we research, the more it will benefit the country and the people, and it can be used for development, making us stronger and stronger. . "

"That's right, science is the primary productive force, and only with technology can there be power."

"I have to go back and tell my dad that you gave everyone a refreshing look today. Everyone used to look down on you, but now it seems that you are much better than others, which is far different from what we imagined."

"Hehe..."

"No wonder the leaders always say that we should start from the grassroots. The working people at the grassroots level also have the wisdom of the working people at the grassroots level. It is true that there are top talents in all 360 professions. If one industry is perfect, even fishermen and farmers can be admired by others."

Ye Yaodong only laughed twice, and he kept chattering.

The meeting started at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and lasted until 5:30. The talents present took turns to speak, but no one listened at the end. Those who were still able to listen carefully at the beginning would be absent-minded at the end.

It was not until the end that the president who presided over the meeting took out the registration certificate of the Ocean Association and showed it to everyone, and announced that the Fishery Association was officially established today.

After everyone applauded enthusiastically, today's meeting was officially over.

Ye Yaodong was also smiling and excited, and the dust had settled.

Most of the people present were also very happy, applauding without reservation, and the applause was particularly enthusiastic. At this time, it was no longer possible to tell that it was a makeshift team.

He and Fang Jingfu also became familiar with each other in this meeting. When they left, they exchanged addresses with each other, and Fang Jingfu also left the phone number of the research institute, asking him to send it to the research institute if he got any strange goods.

Ye Yaodong didn't know whether he talked to him for this purpose, but the two of them had a pleasant chat, and he also learned a lot of information about this makeshift team from Fang Jingfu.

Today, he made a new friend, and it seemed that he was a new friend with some status.

After the two of them separated and left, the people behind him whispered to him as usual, but he couldn't understand anyway.

Ye Yaodong completed a big thing and walked back briskly.

More tomorrow
