Return to the Small Fishing Village of 1982

Chapter 1232 Not Enough to Sell

“Boss is so punctual!”

The layman raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He was satisfied and was not let off again.

"It's a good thing you were on time, otherwise I wouldn't want this batch of goods."

Ye Yaodong smiled awkwardly. He really didn't mean to and was surrounded in the downtown area yesterday. What could he do?

"Let's go. It's not easy to weigh it here. It takes a long time to weigh it on a wooden scale and it takes a lot of effort. There is a scale in my factory where you can weigh it and there are people who can move it and lift it."

"where?"

He pointed at a spacious factory building surrounded by walls across a wide road.

"It's just across the street, a hundred meters away. It's very close."

"That factory building surrounded by walls? Yours? You don't seem to be a local, right?" The layman's voice was confused and surprised, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Yes, mine. I bought it from the village. Let's go. If you're interested, I can take you around. Get in the car first and pull you there. Although it's only a hundred meters away, you have to walk there. Don't walk too much. A little bit of road is good.”

Ye Yaodong had already gotten on the tractor and patted the seat next to him.

He ignored the surprise and shook his head, "No, my car is on the side of the road, let the car drive by."

"Okay, then you follow me and I'll drive to the door and wait for you."

Yesterday, the truck at home had more than 2,000 kilograms left. This morning, he drove the newly purchased tractor in the factory to the dock to pull goods, and both trucks had goods.

Anyway, when Wang Guangliang and the others went to the dock to receive the goods, they waited until after dinner. The tractor was idle there, so it didn't matter if he drove to pick up the goods.

After driving to the door, he drove the one inside the factory as well, and then had someone push the scale out.

The layman also jumped out of a truck and curiously stood at the door and looked inside.

"Can the land in the village be bought and sold at will? And can you buy such a large area?"

"Then it depends on how you tell the village. I will definitely have to provide jobs to the village. Only by providing labor positions to the village can you be protected by the village. In fact, there is a lot of wasteland around, and the land will be sold. Isn’t it also to generate income for the village committee?”

After Ye Yaodong finished speaking, he asked people to move the goods down from the car and weigh them one by one.

The layman didn't come alone. There was also a middle-aged man who was a truck driver.

They were weighed and recorded.

The lay people kept asking him about buying land.

There are many scattered villages around, and there are also many wastelands, but those wastelands are covered with trees and weeds, as well as piles of gravel, garbage, soil slopes, etc., and there are farmlands further away.

The land Ye Yaodong bought is the closest to the market. No wonder people are attracted to it. It is close to the market. Buying a piece of land to build a warehouse will be more convenient in the future.

He also took people in for a tour and introduced what he was producing to the lay people.

"When I filter the fish sauce out, if you are interested, I can give you a good price. The bags are very easy to transport."

"You actually bought such a large area of ​​land to make a small fish sauce?"

"Haha, it's not just fish sauce. It's also used for storage. If you can buy some land, it's better to buy more. Land has been fundamental throughout the ages."

The layman thought about it thoughtfully and felt that it made sense.

Regardless of whether it’s useful or not, you can’t go wrong by buying more land.

For five thousand years, land has been the foundation of China. From ancient times to the present, land has been the most important thing to the people.

What's more, there is a market in the surrounding area, the roads are spacious, and it is convenient for large vehicles to come and go. It is perfect to build a warehouse nearby. It is more convenient than the urban area, and it is difficult for large vehicles to enter.

Ye Yaodong didn't know that he had given this person the inspiration to buy whatever he wanted in the future, and he had also created a great good relationship for himself.

It's not that fast to weigh the 5-ton cargo from beginning to end. Fortunately, the two bosses don't need to worry about it. The people in Ye Yaodong's hands are already experienced, and there are lay drivers on the side to supervise.

By the time everyone was on the scale, the two of them were already talking and laughing, calling themselves brothers.

Ye Yaodong is still thinking that he has to get a tea set to put here, and he has to build a private living room, preferably a sofa!

Otherwise, when the guest boss comes, he can only wander around and talk with him. When he sits down to drink tea, he can only sit in the kitchen and pour a bowl of coarse tea.

So shabby!

"Brother Dong, it's all weighed, 5 tons, and loaded onto the truck."

"Okay? Bring me the calculator." Ye Yaodong and the layman said as they walked out.

The layman also asked his driver to make sure that the goods were all right. After everyone loaded them into the car, he looked at Ye Yaodong to calculate the price.

"5 tons and 10,000 kilograms, 1 kilogram is 1 cent, which is exactly 1,700 yuan."

"good."

Ye Yaodong calculated the profit from yesterday afternoon's retail sales last night. He sold less than two tons. He estimated that it was more than 3,800 kilograms, a total of more than 839 yuan.

But the fraction didn't match the weight. He didn't know if there were too many people. If he took it away, it would still be a fish in troubled waters.

It’s pretty much the same anyway.

Now 5 tons is 1,700, and yesterday they sold about 2 tons in retail for more than 800. If they sell more than 4 tons, it is probably almost worth the wholesale price of 5 tons.

However, if you want to cash out quickly, it is faster to wholesale directly. Retailing is too troublesome.

And it was too laborious to count those dime notes. When the lay people handed over a dozen, they all showed great unity, which was so joyful.

Ye Yaodong happily drooled and counted the banknotes before shaking them off, "Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to cooperate. Call me next time if you need it. I'll bring another cart over tomorrow."

"But if the time lag is too long, it may be out of stock and have to wait until next year. You know, these kelp are seasonal."

The layman asked curiously: "How many months is it usually?"

"Right now, in April and May, the delivery period is only between half a month and a month, but it can be stored for a long time after drying. If the quantity is large and not sold out, there will still be some."

"However, I only have 30 tons on hand this year, and half of it has already been produced. It may be gone in less than a month."

"If there are wild ones, you can pick them up and there will still be some, but the wild ones are not as thick as the farmed ones, and the leaves are not that big, and they are a little uneven, but it is better than nothing."

He nodded, "I understand. If nothing happens, I'll leave first. I won't delay you until I sell kelp."

"It's already 12 o'clock. Let's stay and have a meal. I've asked my aunt to cook it. I've cooked more food for two people."

"No, we're in a hurry, we have to leave now."

"You're in such a hurry? You don't even have time to eat? People are like iron, and rice is like steel. If you don't feel hungry after one meal, you might as well bring a lunch box to eat on the road. Anyone who drives a big car should bring a lunch box, right?"

Seeing the two of them hesitantly, Ye Yaodong said enthusiastically: "You're welcome. You've already bought 5 tons of my kelp. It's okay to treat you to a meal."

"And didn't you say you don't have time to eat? If you go to a restaurant outside, you might not even be able to cook it now, and it will delay things even more."

"Come on, come on, bring your lunch box to pack, and try our local specialties..."

Both of them couldn't resist his enthusiasm, so they could only smile and pick up the lunch box, and were pulled in by them.

His enthusiasm also left a deep impression on the two of them.

When he left, he was smiling and waving to them all the time, and he could tell that he was satisfied.

Ye Yaodong waited for the people to be sent away before calling everyone in to eat.

Chen Zhihua exclaimed: "Brother Dong, I was originally worried that you wouldn't be able to sell this kelp, but I didn't expect that several tons of it would be gone so quickly?"

"Nonsense, crow's mouth, who can't sell it?"

"It has to be you. Let's put it on other people. Even if it is sold, it will take several months, right? With such a large quantity, it is so laborious and choking, how can it be so easy?"

Chen Shi echoed, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Wang Guangliang said: "I was also thinking about what if it would be 10 times more next year? Now it seems that there is no need to worry at all. In just two days, more than ten tons have been sold."

"If you collect it at home today, it should be enough to collect it tomorrow, right?" Ye Yaodong looked at Chen Shi and asked.

"My sister-in-law said, it's almost...about...three days, 10...a few tons."

"Oh, let's eat."

Ye Yaodong thought that there were still more than 1,000 kilograms left, less than 2,000 kilograms. If he took it to the market after dinner, he should sell it quickly.

If the meal cannot be sold out, he will put it in the store and he will go home early.

Tomorrow he will bring another cart and deliver it to the army. The rest can be transported to the warehouse for storage and then given to his father-in-law to sell.

It probably won't take more than a few days to sell out. Not to mention the few bosses, just the ordinary people I met today feel that they will come again to take another cart, which may not be enough to sell.

The more he thought about it, the more confident he became. He was able to sell so much this year. The customer base next year will certainly be more stable, and he can attract more customers, 10 times more, which is probably not a problem.

After dinner, Ye Yaodong hurriedly took people to the market to sell goods, and also brought a loudspeaker to make people shout.

The market is closed, but there are still people hanging around the shops doing wholesale. Although it is not as good as at night or in the morning, there are still many people coming and going with cars.

"Sell, sell, sell, sell... sea sea sea... kelp belt... two and two and two cents..."

Everyone turned to look at Chen Shi with disgust.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, I... bang!" Ye Yaodong slapped his mouth.

"Fuck him, shut up! Someone else, someone else quickly, I was almost led astray."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Wang Guangliang smiled and bent over, "Brother Dong, don't talk about you anymore. We have been with him for a long time. Who has never stuttered? The most serious one took several months to heal."

Chen Shi scratched his head and looked at everyone with a smile, "You...ask me...to talk and read...the password twisters..."

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes, "I asked you to go home and practice by yourself. I didn't ask you to shout with a loudspeaker right now. Are you planning to make everyone stutter?"

Their movements attracted people around them, and everyone looked at them curiously. A young vendor carrying a load came over and asked curiously.

"Haihaikelp... bang! How to sell kelp?"

Ye Yaodong suddenly couldn't hold himself tight, laughed, and then glared at Chen Shi.

"Did you see that? You don't stutter. I listened to you and thought about it several times in my mind, but when I spoke it, I stuttered."

"That, that, that, that... it's not my, my, my fault..."

He held his forehead and ignored him. The others quickly pulled him to the car and asked him to wait in the car to pull kelp.

"One pound of kelp costs 2.5 cents. Starting from 20 kilos of kelp, 2 cents per kilo is enough. One kilo can be soaked to make five or six kilos..." Ye Yaodong said to the visitor, and the others also shouted with loudspeakers.

In an instant, it became clear to everyone around. Some people had bought it the day before yesterday. When they heard that the price was still the same, they immediately flocked to buy it.

The number of people at this time was no match for the flow of people around the downtown area, and it took half an afternoon to sell hundreds of kilograms.

Ye Yaodong hurried home. After selling until 2:30, he saw people still coming around to buy, so he asked everyone to go to the door of the store to buy.

And he asked someone to drive the tractor to the door of the store, unload the goods and put them in the store, ready to hand over the remaining few hundred kilograms to his father-in-law.

There are not many left, and they will continue to be sold intermittently, and I think they will be sold out today.

He took the others to drive the tractor and left first. Chen Shi, who had delivered the goods this morning, and the other two people, he also drove the tractor to the dock and told them to go back as they came.

He was in a hurry this morning, and he was not sure what time he would go home, so he did not go to the market in advance to buy a batch of goods. Otherwise, he could fill up the car and boat and take them back with him when he went back.

But it's not a pity, he made a lot of money just from the price difference in these two or three days.

Including today, nearly 13 tons of goods were sold. Some made a price difference of 9 cents per kilogram, some were 1 cents, and the retail price was 15 cents. When my father-in-law sold out the remaining few hundred kilograms of goods, He can earn more than 2,500.

This is only two or three days, and it is more profitable than going to sea.

On the way home on the tractor, he was thinking, no wonder those who started doing business these days, as long as they are not caught, have become rich. Some celebrities after the 21st century started their careers in this era.

As long as you have the connections, the channels, the information, and the courage to do it, you can make a lot of money.

Even if you are timid, you can still make a lot of money by doing small things.

He got home early today, and the empty car arrived quickly. The weather was hot and the sun was getting longer. When he got home, people were still weighing kelp at the door of the workshop. He came back at the right time.

"A Dong is back..."

"I haven't seen you for two days. Your wife said you were selling kelp in the city..."

"How is business? Is it easy to sell outside?"

Before he even got out of the car, someone came up to him and asked questions as soon as the car stopped at the door.

"It's so-so. It wasn't sold out. I threw it into the store and sold it to my father-in-law."

When the village chief heard this, his heart ached, "It's not sold out? What should we do? Today there are another four or five tons here, and we can collect a lot more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..."

"You take what you have. If I can't sell it all, why should I be afraid if I can save it?"

"Haha, I'm not thinking about breeding more next year. If we can't sell them all..."

"Don't worry, just sell them to me next year when you breed them."

Secretary Chen explained, "We are worried that if the number increases year by year, you will be under pressure..."

"You don't have to worry this year, and you don't have to worry next year. When the whole village is widely planted, you should be able to sell more by then, right? If other people come to harvest kelp, wouldn't it be possible to share the risk? Anyway, then It’s all about the future. You don’t have to worry about it this year, and you don’t have to worry about next year either. Let’s talk about the year after tomorrow.”

If the weather is not guaranteed, the weather will be too cold or too hot in any year, which may affect the growth of kelp. Natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot be said accurately. First, do it well year by year.

The village chief nodded, "That's right. Anyway, there will be a bumper harvest this year. Next year A Dong says it's no problem, so let's do it boldly. We can make money every year."

Secretary Chen also smiled and said, "Yes, if you can do it, keep doing it. It's best to have a few more bosses to receive the goods when the time comes, so that you don't have to put all the pressure on A Dong..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and walked towards Ah Qing who was supervising the weighing of the goods, "How much is the quantity today?"

"A lot has been weighed. I estimate it should be five or six tons, which is more than what we have collected in the past few days. It should be more than one truck can pull tomorrow."

"If you can't finish it, I'll put some aside and send it to the city together the day after tomorrow."

"Are the ones sent today sold out?"

"It's almost the same. There are only a few hundred kilograms left after the goods arrive in the past few days. I gave it to my father when I came back. I will send this load directly to the army tomorrow. There is exactly one load of kelp and one load of dried fish."

They have established a fixed deal with the army in the past few months. They will send a car at the beginning of each month, and tomorrow happens to be the 1st.

He had already planned it two days ago. When the dried fish is delivered on the 1st, he will bring a cart of kelp there. He will personally lobby for it. The publicity about kelp preventing big neck disease has not yet become popular, so he has to rely on his three inches. The immortal tongue comes first.

I believe that the Army Logistics Department will not refuse these cheap and good goods, and they have been in stable supply for so long, so I can definitely trust him.

So he is not worried at all about the kelp this year. He really feels that there is not enough kelp to sell. He can get more next year. He also needs to stock up to supply those vendors in the long term.

Although the number of hawkers is small, there are many hawkers, and the accumulation is quite large. They have been sold to nearby villagers for retail sales.

"Are you hungry? Are you tired? Do you want to go home and rest first? Let the old lady make you something to eat?"

Lin Xiuqing couldn't spare any money and immediately arranged food for him. After the scales were weighed, she had to pay the bill.

"No, the scale is almost finished. I'll also take a look at the quantity."

"good."

Ye Yaodong was standing on the side, and all the village cadres were surrounding him. They kept greeting him with a smile on their faces, caring about him, and looked closer to him than their biological father.

His father couldn't be as amiable as them, and even the old lady was almost worse than them.

After everything was weighed and the quantity and price were calculated, Lin Xiuqing immediately went home to get the money.

The old men looked at the couple as happily as they looked at the God of Wealth.

Ye Yaodong smiled and asked: "How much have you sold in total these days? Have you forgotten it?"

"If you have a plan, there will be a lot of sales..."

"In addition, there are already more than 2,600 today. There will still be more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If we collect more the day after tomorrow, it should be about the same."

The villagers who had been watching were in an uproar. Although some people watched every day and knew how much money was collected, they were still shocked when they heard the village cadres affirmatively say it.

"So many!"

"It costs three to four thousand yuan to sell it all. Isn't that too much?"

"Then if we all follow suit, can we earn so much?"

"This is so profitable, isn't it? Just a few cents of kelp..."

"Oh my god, the main reason is that the output is high, it's so profitable..."

"Hurry up and come up with a charter on how to plant crops next year..."

Everyone was excited, thinking that they could earn three to four thousand yuan a year by following this.

The village chief said with a smile: "You only look at making money, not spending money. We hired two knowledgeable people to help with farming, so we can harvest so much."

"The wages of these two people are 50 yuan a month, which is 1,200 yuan a year. From September last year to now, they have to pay 1,000 yuan in wages, as well as money to buy ropes and seedlings. The village has also paid Two laborers.”

"If I didn't make any money, I would help out on a voluntary basis. Now that I have made money, I will definitely have to count my wages as well. Calculate, after deducting expenses this year, I will only earn one or two thousand yuan."

"It's okay, after all, the first year is just to test the water..."

"When the time comes, if the villagers grow their own crops, won't they save money on labor? If they grow their own crops and contribute their own efforts, what kind of wages will be needed?"

Several village cadres talked to each other one by one, and the villagers became a little clearer and not as excited as before.

But after thinking about it, I think it makes sense. Labor is the least valuable thing.

Each of their families has a lot of labor, and they have no place to make money. How can they all earn 600 yuan a year when they go out?

"You're right. If your family has a large population and there are many people who can work, then you still have to spend money to hire others."

"Yes, if the whole family works together to breed, it's not bad to earn a thousand dollars a year."

Please close the browser reading mode before viewing this chapter, otherwise you will be unable to turn pages or the chapter content will be lost.

"As long as we can make money, everyone can have a goal. Now it's hard to find a job, we can't use our strength, and the whole family can't make any money."

"That's right. If you work as a family, aren't the products sold by your family? You don't have to pay any wages."

"Yes, yes, by then the three or four thousand yuan will be earned by my family, and I won't have to pay thousands of yuan a year to others."

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "Then you have to take your time. Next year, first learn the technology and how to breed, and then you can work as a family unit."

"Definitely, learn it yourself first and then teach your family members."

"If our village can all live a good life, we have to thank you."

"Yes, if everyone can make money, they all have to thank A Dong."

"No, no, no, don't say it so quickly. Wait until everyone makes money first. If you don't make money, you still have to scold me."

"Hehehe..."

Secretary Chen quickly helped and said: "No one can predict the consequences of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Who can guarantee that you will make money every year? It's not like the God of Wealth will give you money."

"After all, this is a business. If it succeeds this year, everyone can see it, which means it is feasible. We will continue to gamble on luck next year."

The village chief also said: "If the harvest is good, everyone will eat meat. If the harvest is bad or the harvest is not completed, we will continue next year."

"One success does not mean eternal success, and one failure does not mean eternal failure. Anyway, everyone has seen hope, right?"

"Yes, yes, now we have seen the hope. If you try more, you can always make money."

Ye Yaodong thought he would have to go home later and get a few packs of cigarettes to deliver to the village cadres.

They are so sensible and considerate that they know how to get vaccinated in advance.

When there are too many people around, emotions will always be aroused. Talking about it in advance is more effective than trying to appease them afterwards.

He listened to the village cadres talking to the big guys, and listened to their repeated assurances that they would definitely discuss it in the next few days, come up with a charter, and post it on the bulletin board.

Everyone was satisfied and walked home in twos and threes.

"If we make money this coming year, everyone will be happy. If we don't make money, we probably won't be able to do anything."

"I hope you will make a lot of money next year."

Ye Yaodong said: "Everyone can see the success this year, and even if it fails next year, everyone will understand. It's just that the village committee will have to experiment for a few more years before everyone dares to try."

"Yes, it is a way out anyway. I hope next year will go smoothly."

"Then let's go first."

"Wait a minute, come to my house to sit for a while. You have been standing here for so long. Come to my house to have a drink of tea." Ye Yaodong put his arm around their shoulders and walked towards his house.

Lin Xiuqing also hurriedly followed, smiling and inviting them to her home for dinner.

Ye Mu was also there, pulling them enthusiastically and inviting them to go home.

Inviting the village cadres home for dinner made him feel happy.

They not only invited the village head and the village secretary, but also other cadres and women's directors.

A large group of people could not resist their enthusiasm and could only follow them to their home with a smile.

Fortunately, their family has made a lot of money in the past two years, the food is not bad, there are a lot of dried goods and seafood, and they can make a decent table with temporary arrangements.

It was originally dinner time, and the whole family had not eaten yet. After inviting everyone back, Ye Yaodong first pulled everyone to sit down and drink with the food prepared in the evening.

Lin Xiuqing and Ye's mother also put on aprons, and a big pot was set up in the yard. They hurried to prepare a few more dishes. It didn't matter if the rice was not cooked enough, and it was the same to cook more soup noodles as the staple food.

There were a lot of people at the table, and the lively conversation attracted people at the door to watch. The village talked about kelp these days.

The neighbors around were envious of the village cadres' intimacy with their family.

Some of them stopped in the yard to chat with Ye's mother and lend a hand. Ye's mother also smiled from ear to ear, listening to everyone's chat and compliments with a rosy face, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.

It was a pity that Ye's father was not there, and he would regret it if he knew it. What a good opportunity to be brothers with the village cadres.

After a meal, everyone's tongues were big and their feet were unsteady before the meal ended. Ye Yaodong also fell down.

Ye's mother and Lin Xiuqing had to go to the neighbors next door to ask for help, send the cadres home one by one, and then clean up the mess.

Ye Yaodong lay on the bed without taking off his clothes and pants. Lin Xiuqing had no time to take care of him, so she just let the three children watch him and take off his clothes and pants.

Ye Chenghu looked at his drunken father and said first: "I'll take off my clothes!"

Ye Chengyang also said quickly: "I'll take off my pants!"

Then they both looked at Ye Xiaoxi.

Ye Xiaoxi was also a little confused, "What about me?"

The two brothers said in unison, "Take off your shoes!"

"Oh, oh, okay!"

Both brothers had experienced Ye Yaodong's stinky feet, so they quickly climbed onto the bed and gave the place at his feet to Ye Xiaoxi.

Ye Xiaoxi used all his strength to pry open the shoes on his feet...

"Hey...ah...brother..."

Ye Chenghu said: "Please use some strength."

Ye Chengyang hesitated for a moment, "I'll help you untie your shoelaces, it will be easier for you to take them off."
