Chapter 1231 The Ordinary Boss

"Brother Dong, it's ready! Just like yesterday, I opened a pack and spread it evenly on the top." The speaker was a young man in his 20s who was also from this village, named Chen Zhihua.

Half of the 10 people Ye Yaodong recruited last year were young, and half were taken to the city. Only five people were left to move around in the workshop, and the people who were originally on duty took turns filling fish sauce. .

"It's tied up. Don't let any kelp fall off. If it does, I'll pick it up and whip you."

"Haha, not a single strand will fall off. If it does, we'll take off our pants and whip them for you."

"Go away, it's disgusting or not, you're a pervert, what do you watch every day?"

"Brother Dong, you didn't look, how do you know what we were looking at? Hahaha..."

"Shut up, I'll slap your sister-in-law's ears to death."

Lin Xiuqing was a little confused.

What do you mean?

She understood every word, but she didn't understand it.

She looked at Ye Yaodong, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing. I'm leaving. I won't be back tonight. Tomorrow morning you can arrange to take a boat with the goods to the city dock. It should be around 9 o'clock, right? I'll drive the tractor and wait there around 9 o'clock."

"Okay, I'll let them set off at dawn tomorrow morning."

"good."

Ye Yaodong glared at those rough guys. It was not even May yet, and it was still early morning. When moving those bags of goods, they had already taken off their coats one by one and were working there wearing only vests.

At this time, he threw his coat directly over his shoulders and stood aside, waiting for him to drive out so that they could continue working.

"Ah Hua followed me to the city. Chen Shi stayed behind to replace Ah Hua and brought a loudspeaker. When we got to the city, Ah Hua took the horn and shouted while driving."

"Great, it's finally my turn to follow you to the city. The furthest you've ever been is the town."

He happily put on his clothes and the other two looked at him enviously.

"From now on, everyone should speak less naughty words. There are women next door. Can you talk to others? Don't be laughed to death. Those who don't have a wife should pay more attention. The three aunts and six women are watching. The bad side is here. People will see that without your good reputation, I can’t get a wife.”

"I know Brother Dong, we will definitely not joke around or talk nonsense in the future. We will behave well in front of the old women next door and try to get them to introduce us to a good wife."

"Yes, you have to be more considerate and attentive in front of those old aunties."

Lin Xiuqing even laughed, "Don't show off in front of the girl, but be courteous in front of the old aunt."

"There must be a girl, sister-in-law, please introduce her."

"Then you should go to the old aunt to show your courtesy. Where can I introduce you? They know a lot."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "Don't be poor, hurry up and do what you need to do, and leave."

After he started the tractor with the crank handle, he continued to rush to the city.

Today is a little later than yesterday. Because of Chen Zhihua's shouting in the city, more people were attracted along the way, and they all surrounded him.

They were obviously told to go to the wholesale market to buy, but these people seemed to be a little deaf. They only listened to what they wanted to hear, ignored everything else, and now they gathered around to buy.

Originally there were a lot of people going to the market early in the morning on the street, and it was almost packed with people.

Worried that the crowd would just climb on the tractor to pull kelp, Chen Zhihua jumped out of the car and walked to the back to drive away the crowd.

I just can’t drive them away, everyone wants to buy them, and they say they saw them yesterday and they still won’t sell them.

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to stop selling for a while. He took the speaker on the seat and shouted.

"25 cents per pound, 20 cents for more than 20 pounds, no bargaining, no bargaining, one pound can be soaked for five or six pounds, sold at a cheap price..."

"It's 20 pounds. How can I buy it? Can I buy it and take it home to eat?"

"That's right, 2.5 cents per pound is not cost-effective. 20 jins are 2 cents. Why don't you just sell it per jin?"

Ye Yaodong continued to shout with the loudspeaker, "Auntie, it's not cost-effective to sell me a pound. Am I in trouble? It's so cheap, why should I sell it pound by pound until the end of the Year of the Monkey?"

"Wouldn't it be better if you just invite a few people you know or are nearby to buy together and put together an order?"

"Anyway, I won't sell them by the pound. You can go pick them up at the beach. It's free of charge, and you won't have to come here to bargain."

"20 pounds and 2 cents, no bargaining, no bargaining, just stay for a while and then leave..."

If it weren't for the sight of these aunties surrounding him, it would be difficult for him to walk, and he wouldn't want to stop and talk nonsense.

When you go to the market, there are basically vendors who wholesale all kinds of fish and dry goods. It is easy to sell more than 20 kilograms.

Those who wholesaled yesterday may have been sold out in the streets, so I will continue to come here and wholesale more today.

He had already wasted time to stop, and these aunties still wanted to bargain over the price.

He just yelled a few words, and immediately someone came in with banknotes and asked for 20 pounds.

If there is one, there will be two. Others immediately took out their money and pushed forward, trying to buy and leave quickly. The scene almost turned into a robbery.

Fortunately, Ye Yaodong stood in front of the tractor truck with a long steelyard. When the wooden steelyard moved horizontally, he pushed the crowd forward collectively.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, come one by one."

Fortunately, he also brought two steel scales. He moved the scales forward to block the crowd. Chen Zhihua also quickly grabbed a handful and tied it with straw to weigh the scales.

As long as 20 kilograms were weighed and a shout was made, a bunch of people handed over the money. Ye Yaodong took the money from one person and handed the goods to the other person, and then there was no chaos.

However, a large group of people surrounded there, and the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, almost making the two people dizzy.

Later, they still ran into Linji. He brought the two people past and squeezed in to help when they saw it. Only then did they get busy and the goods were not damaged or taken advantage of by others.

He didn't know how long he had been busy. His stomach was rumbling. The sun was setting, and the people around him became fewer.

Most of the goods on the car were gone, and the cloth bag on his chest was filled with various bills and coins.

Sweat dripped down like water, almost making them faint.

Although there were fewer people around, there were still some people waiting to buy.

Often, the first batch of people had not bought and left, and the next batch came one after another. They wanted to drive away directly, but they couldn't, so they could only continue to work.

Until the sun was about to set, there were fewer people in the downtown area, and the kelp on the car was unpacked one bag after another, and only about 1/3 was left.

Originally, a carload of kelp brought in today was only more than three tons, more than 7,000 kilograms.

Now Ye Yaodong estimated that there were only more than 2,000 kilograms left.

The purchase power of the masses is also amazing, starting from 20 kilograms. It is indeed true that there is a large flow of people in the downtown area. People in the city have money and are afraid of running out of things.

Generally, when a whole carload of things is brought in for sale, everyone will think it is very cheap and will want to go forward, and will go to where there are many people.

Ye Yaodong was so tired that he leaned directly on the car, "Oh my God, these women are really scary, just buy vegetables, and you have to praise me a few words."

"Hahaha, it's because you are handsome. I think some people don't have to buy, but because you are handsome, they come up to take a look and buy some by the way." Chen Zhihua said very flatteringly.

"That makes sense."

Lin Jishang also laughed, "You are too shameless, aren't you?"

"Don't let people tell the truth? And I'm not praising myself."

Chen Zhihua continued, "Yes, I'm telling the truth. Brother Dong is famous for his good looks in our area. If you say he is a city man, everyone will believe it."

"I'm so tired. Hurry up and tighten the bag. Don't let anyone see it, otherwise I won't be able to leave later."

"The sun has set. Everyone has gone home to cook. There are not many people on the street."

Ye Yaodong looked at Lin Jishang again, "Why are you still here?"

"You're destroying the bridge? You're going to drive me away just after I helped you with your work?"

"No, I mean why are you still in the city? I thought you had left and went to make money somewhere else."

Since there were outsiders around, he spoke a little more obscurely. Anyway, everyone would understand.

When he saw people squeezing in just now, he wanted to ask, but he couldn't spare the time. He didn't have time to talk until he was done with the work.

"I have this plan, in the near future. Things are not finished yet, let's wait and see."

Ye Yaodong didn't understand and wanted to ask more questions, but this was not the place to talk.

"Come with me to the market? Then go to my factory and sit down and chat?"

"Okay, will you treat me to a meal first?"

"Of course, let's go, get in the car together, and talk when we get to my place. It's not easy to talk outside."

"Okay."

"They are all kelp, some of which are difficult to step on. You can just sit on them and hold on for a while and you will arrive."

Ye Yaodong waited for them to sit down before driving the tractor to the market.

Yesterday at the door, he told everyone to meet at the same time, but now it has long passed. The plan cannot keep up with the changes. It was agreed to be noon, but now it is almost evening, and he broke his promise.

So when he arrived at the market, the market gates were closed, and the roads were empty. If he wanted to see people coming and going, he had to wait until the night market opened in the evening.

"Brother Dong, we are late, there is no one..."

"Why late? It doesn't matter who you sell to. It's the same if we wait until the market opens and then bring it over to sell. Anyway, there will be another truck tomorrow morning. Those people are the ones who often go around the market. It doesn't matter. We can catch up with the morning and evening markets. There are usually the least people at noon."

"That's good."

What I thought about yesterday was basically achieved today. One or two tons of goods were sold, and it was even exceeded. I met Linji.

Originally, it was just a thought that flashed through my mind. I thought about it for many days and didn't know what the result would be. I also thought about asking if there were any channels to buy two more diving machines. I didn't expect to meet them today. This is a big surprise.

It's just that his application report is too late to submit at this time, and he can't leave these people behind and go to the Ocean Bureau by himself. If he goes there at this time, he will definitely be left with food.

He can only wait until tomorrow to submit it.

He didn't say hello to the aunt in the factory, so she didn't cook more for him, not to mention that there are 5 people in their line.

Ye Yaodong simply parked the tractor in the factory, told them not to touch the goods on it, and took them to the Fatty's stall to eat first.

Sitting at the table, everyone chatted about trivial topics.

Lin Jishang was also particularly envious of Ye Yaodong, who could do anything well.

"Did you collect that truckload of kelp from the village?"

"Oh, yes, you haven't been back for a few months, so you don't know. This is also your credit. You introduced the people. This year, our village has a bumper harvest of kelp farming, and the yield per mu may be nearly 10 tons or more."

He was surprised, "So much? Then you have to pull several trucks to sell slowly? What about next year? What about the year after? Can you eat so much?"

"Hehe, can you share it?"

"Not impossible..."

"Aren't you going to other places?"

"Yes", he felt a little regretful, running around outside, how can it be better to be at home.

"You can make a lot of money just by selling these kelp in the afternoon?"

"It's okay, I have to advance the money, and there are also storage costs, labor costs, and fuel costs for the car to go back and forth. These are all costs. Who would do it if they don't make money?"

"Well, these kelp in inland areas outside the province seem to be able to sell for 50 or 60 cents, 60 or 70 cents."

"So much!" Ye Yaodong was surprised and felt it was normal.

Long-distance transportation is free? No manpower and material resources? And there are losses?

Boss Zhou buys his for 1.6 yuan, so it is normal to sell it for three or four times the price.

It is normal that the price of the cabbage collected from the sea is 10 times higher than that sold in the inland market.

It is just like the cabbage that costs two or three yuan in the field, but it costs two or three yuan per pound in the market.

(A few days ago, I went to the market to buy a cucumber for 4 yuan, a radish for 5 yuan, and a small handful of enoki mushrooms and coriander, which cost 18 yuan! I was almost shocked!)

It is only because they are on the coast, close to the sea, and the transportation and labor costs are low, so they sell cheaper.

Lin Jishang said calmly: "It's normal. The inland areas are much harder than the coastal areas. Since last year, I have been to many places intermittently and have seen a lot since I started to not need a letter of introduction when going out."

"Oh."

Chen Zhihua looked at Lin Jishang curiously, "What business are you doing now, brother? It seems that you are not at home all year round."

"Running around and earning some hard-earned money."

"Oh, it's really not as good as being at home. At least when you are running around outside, you can have a hot soup and a meal when you return home, and you can relax and sleep comfortably."

Lin Jishang nodded with deep feeling.

"Hurry up and eat. After eating, come to my place and sit down and talk."

There are not many people at this time. When it gets dark, the market opens, and some large ships dock, a lot of fishermen will come to eat.

So the dishes are served quickly now. In the time they say a few words, several bowls of dishes are served.

After finishing his meal, Ye Yaodong also asked about their bills. Some time ago, when he was busy in the provincial capital, his father took people out to sea, and he must have signed a bill for dinner when he came back.

It happened that he came to eat today and settled the bill.

Please turn off the browser reading mode to view this chapter, otherwise you will not be able to turn the page or the chapter content will be lost.

I am not afraid of signing the bill, but I am afraid of not being able to collect the money. Many stores fail because of this and then close down. Whether this is his friend's store or not, he can't do this.

When he returned to the factory, he asked Lin Ji to go to his room to talk, and then asked directly.

"Will your cousin's affair implicate you? I thought you must have run away long ago."

"It's under control. We won't investigate further. The matter ends here. The people caught will be sentenced. This is actually an accident."

"That's it? I thought it would involve more people."

"It's impossible. Those ships were sunk and confiscated. We won't investigate further. The tug-of-war has ended and a consensus has been reached."

Ye Yaodong didn't dare to ask further and quickly changed the subject.

"Then why are you running away? I was wondering why you were walking on the street so arrogantly today, and you came to help me. It turns out that you have already escaped."

"I can't do the original job anymore, and I'm worried that I'll be liquidated later, so I have to go out to avoid the limelight, and I can also find some business to do."

"Have you decided where to go?"

"I plan to go north. I heard that there are fewer light industries in the north, so I'll run back and forth between the south and the north."

"Then I'll stock up some kelp and sell it to you!"

Lin Jishang couldn't help laughing, "Are you crazy about money? Can't I collect it myself?"

"Who do you want to collect it? Who will advance the money for you? Can your brothers come up with so much money? Will you feel at ease if you give your money to me? Only I can tell you reliably! Who am I? I'm famous throughout the town. I'll check the quality for you. Whenever you come back, you can come to me to pick up a truckload of goods."

Lin Jishang thought about it and it made sense. He couldn't stay at home forever.

The villagers now recognize Ye Yaodong.

"Okay, then you have to give me a lower price."

"Definitely."

Very good, there will be one more sales channel next year. This person now plans to travel back and forth to sell goods, and he will also be a big customer.

"Alas, your business is still booming. There are people protecting you in front of you and backing you up behind you. You have both face and money, and you are glorious wherever you go."

"When you turn over a new leaf, you will be the same. People only look at the money, not the way you came. After a few years, you will come back with a new look and you will be Boss Lin."

"Hehe..."

"So you don't have a way to get goods now?"

"It depends on what goods you get. What else do you want? With your ability, what can't you get now?"

"I also want two sets of diving equipment that you helped me get back then."

"That can't be obtained. If you want small household appliances, that's easy."

"I can buy small household appliances by myself."

"Don't you have a leader to back you up? Just go ask. There must be someone in the navy. Ask if there are two sets of discarded ones."

Ye Yaodong frowned, not knowing if it was feasible.

"Forget it if there is none. When are you leaving?"

"In two or three days."

"What about your wife and children?"

"At home, what else can I do? I'll go back and see them occasionally."

"You are so heartless. Your wife takes care of the house, the elderly, the children, and stabilizes the rear. But you rarely come back for a few months, and you keep a mistress outside."

Lin Ji leaned on his feet and didn't answer. "If you don't have anything else, I'll leave first."

"I talk too much."

"Then I'll leave first."

After sending the people away, Ye Yaodong sighed. He just said a few words in a teasing way. If you don't like it, forget it, and don't say it next time.

Back in the room, he lay down again, planning to rest for a while. He had to drive a truck of goods to the market entrance later.

He thought he had let the pigeon called Su Ren go and would not see him again until tomorrow, but he did not expect to meet him again when the market opened in the evening.

Please turn off the browser reading mode to view this chapter, otherwise you will not be able to turn the page or the chapter content will be lost.

He had just arrived at the market and had just shouted a few times with a loudspeaker. Before anyone came up to ask for the price, he came over.

"Is this the same time you mentioned? We understand that there is a time difference?"

Ye Yaodong saw that the other person was a little unhappy, and smiled and said: "I'm so sorry, I also set out at the same time. I thought I could get here at noon, but when I passed the downtown area, a bunch of people wanted to buy and surrounded my car, so I had to stop and sell a little."

"Who knew that I would sell until the sun went down, and the crowd slowly dispersed. It's too late to get here at this time, and I was thinking if I could meet them at night, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

The common man waved his hand, "Forget it, are these the only goods you said?"

"Didn't you say that you were stuck in the downtown area at noon and could only unpack and sell? So these are the only ones left, which are more than 2,000 kilograms. If you think it's too little, I will bring another truck here tomorrow morning."

"Your tomorrow morning? Then I have to come tomorrow afternoon?"

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly, "I will be on time tomorrow. Can you come tomorrow at noon? Or you want a quantity, I will reserve it for you in advance."

The common man had an expression that said I knew it.

"How much are you going to sell these 2,000 jin for?"

"Do you want all of them?"

"Give me another 5 tons, is there?"

Ye Yaodong's eyes widened, and he said 5 tons? Good guy, he was really short-sighted yesterday, but fortunately he felt that he was a big boss when he heard his name later.

"Yes, there is, of course, but there may not be 5 tons delivered tomorrow, I can't guarantee it, but there will definitely be the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, then you keep all this truckload of goods for me, and put it together with tomorrow's goods to see if you can get 5 tons. If you can't, then give me as much as you can. I'll have a car come to pick it up at noon tomorrow and weigh it by the way."

"Okay, no problem!"

"Tell me how much first."

"How much do you plan to pay? Let me see if the price is appropriate."

"How much are you going to sell?"

"For me, the price has been set long ago. 20 jin sells for 2.2 cents. Now you want such a large quantity, see how much you can give for the purchase price, as long as it is appropriate, If it's not suitable, we can talk about it later."

"1.5 yuan."

"No, it's too low. I drove a car to the city in the afternoon and sold almost two tons, and it was 2.2 yuan. Although the quantity you want is large, it can save me a lot of trouble, but it's too little. I might as well save it and sell it slowly, which is more profitable."

"At most 1.7 yuan, no more, I would rather spend more effort to go to the countryside to buy some different quality."

Ye Yaodong said reluctantly, "1.8 yuan, I still have dozens of tons behind, if you come to buy later, it will be 1.7 yuan."

"That's 1.7 yuan."

Ye Yaodong was actually satisfied in his heart, but he still hesitated for a while, and then agreed reluctantly.

While the two of them were talking, Chen Zhihua's horn didn't sound, but no one came.

At this time, the market had just opened, and the fishmongers rushed straight into the market. How could they have time to look outside? They could only wait until they had purchased everything inside before they had time to walk around outside to replenish.

So the layman's eating this one also saved him a lot of trouble. If he wanted to make money, he had to sell in large quantities. When would the scattered sales end?

After the two reached an agreement, they also decided to meet here at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning and then separated.

Ye Yaodong also drove the tractor with a truck of goods back to the factory.

It was easier at night, but he couldn't sleep immediately. He had to go to his father-in-law and brother-in-law to ask about the recent situation.

Yesterday was too busy. He only had time to take the money back and didn't have time to talk in detail.

Ye Yaodong now felt that the stall was too big, and he planned to discuss with his father-in-law to find another person to keep accounts, similar to a cashier.

Lin's father also particularly agreed. Now Ye Yaodong has more business, and there are more miscellaneous expenses. He has to keep accounts every time. Sometimes he is confused and can only rely on Lin's mother to remind him.

After talking with them, he also decided to let A Qing recruit a girl who knows how to keep accounts in his village tomorrow. She doesn't need to have a high level of education, as long as she is honest, can remember the accounts clearly, has graduated from junior high school, and is willing to come here.

Probably there would be no girl who would not want to work in the city, but it is difficult to find a junior high school graduate in the village.

This is a bit difficult, and most families will rarely let girls waste money to go to junior high school. Generally, it is enough for them to graduate from elementary school and know a few words.

You can only ask, if there is no one in this village, go to other villages to find one, and you will always find one.

After chatting for a long time, Ye Yaodong dragged his tired body back to sleep.

The next morning, before he went to the dock, he went to the Ocean Bureau in advance, and submitted the report form when the working time came, and then went to the dock to wait for the goods.

The dock was also crowded with people in the early morning, but they were not people docking, but people going out to sea, and they were all the fish owners who went ashore to sell goods at night.

After selling the goods all night, they were all cleared at that time, and then they went out to sea again, just like he did in the past.

I didn't expect that when he stood on the dock, someone would greet him and say that they hadn't seen him on the shore for a while.

Ye Yaodong also smiled and complimented him, saying that he had been busy with other things recently and left the work of going out to sea to his father, so he didn't meet him.

He had been to this dock many times, and he was familiar with most of the people.

After standing for more than half an hour, going back and forth, there were three or four groups of people who greeted him.

And he also waited for the goods delivered by the fishing boat at home.

It was Chen Shi who drove the boat to deliver it.

"Brother Dongdong... I... I didn't... overtime?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch, "9:30, not too late, and I can catch up with the agreed time. How many tons were delivered?"

"Sister-in-law... said, 444 and a half tons."

The corners of his mouth twitched, 444 is not that much.

"Get rid of your stuttering problem as soon as possible, and read more tongue twisters. I said 444 tons for you, and you need to make up for the missing 440 tons! Go and load the goods onto the truck, and then go to the factory to rest for a while. I'll talk to you after lunch... After lunch, you can go back, and I'll drive the tractor back."

"Okay."

"Boss Dong, have you changed your job from fishing to receiving goods?"

Ye Yaodong smiled at the people at the receiving point on the dock, "No, I'm still fishing, but I also receive and sell goods."

Everyone only saw bags of black things. Although the nylon bags were transparent, they were very thick. As long as they were not opened, they could not tell what the black things were.

Most people hurried out to sea immediately, and just took a look. No one was nosy. They were also some familiar nodding acquaintances, so they usually said hello, took a look, and left first.
