Chapter 1239 Departure
Ye Yaodong took advantage of his father being at home and asked his father to help him look after the goods at home.
He contacted several overseas Chinese families two days ago and confirmed the date of early delivery. He had to go to deliver the goods.
He scheduled the goods of several families on the same day to save him from running back and forth several times.
He also brought some dried squid and pickled squid eggs that had just been dried and pickled for Lao Hai.
Lao Hai knew that he was here to deliver goods, so he generously lent him his tractor.
Ye Yaodong was also happy to save trouble and did not refuse.
The delivery process was smooth, but when it came to settlement, he could not get the foreign exchange he had been thinking about.
Because they were not a trading company and did not have the right to import and export, they could only settle a little bit of foreign exchange on a personal basis.
The conditions for foreign exchange settlement were quite stringent, and he was overwhelmed when he heard what conditions needed to be met.
The first batch of orders did not have much money, so he thought about it and let it go, and wait until it was stable and long-term in the future.
Originally, I was thinking about foreign exchange, but my hope was temporarily dashed. However, it is not impossible to stabilize and work harder in the future.
After finishing this matter, he went to the shipyard again to confirm that the fresh-collecting ship could be completed on June 5, and he was relieved.
The sooner he got it, the better he could drive it to Zhejiang Province.
However, the weather was not very good in the next few days. It was often sunny during the day, but there would be thunder and lightning in the evening.
He asked his mother to look at a date, and the weather was not very good on that day. It rained all day, but the day was good. He drove it when the time came, but he did not stop in the village.
The ship was relatively large and had a deep draft, so he stopped directly at the deep-water port in the town. Anyway, the fresh-collecting ship could only stop at the deep-water port in the future, and then let the family's small boat come to pick up the goods.
After this matter was settled, he felt at ease, but the weather was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and his father and others stayed at home all the time, while he went to the reef to pry abalone during the day.
They were quite a lot, about 10 people, and had 4 sets of equipment. They were very efficient in prying abalone and catching small blue dragon sea cucumbers, and the workers were very excited.
It was the first time for them to go underwater to get these high-quality goods, so they were very excited and liked to compete with each other to see who could get the most in one trip.
After almost all the abalones were pried out, Ye Yaodong thought it was mid-month and planned to go to Zhejiang Province in advance. Everyone was reluctant to leave.
Although abalone was not easy to get, small blue dragons and sea cucumbers could still be found in the water and caught, and after getting familiar with them underwater, they all liked them a little, just like their own backyard.
It was only when Ye Yaodong told them that they could catch sea urchins after going to Zhejiang Province, which would be a different experience and the salary would be higher, that everyone was excited to go quickly.
During this period of time, Ye Yaodong asked Ah Qing to calculate the accounts of those high-quality goods and bottom traps that were salvaged. He also made about 3,000 yuan, which was the net profit after deducting the fuel and labor costs, not much less than working for a month on the Dongsheng.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was more profitable to be a capitalist. Since he hired more people, he never went into the water again. He just moved a stool to sit on the boat, paid some money, and many people wanted to work for him.
After Ye Yaodong was sure that the work at home was going to be over, he asked Lin Xiuqing to pay the workers all the temporary wages.
Then he also told her about his plan to go to Zhejiang Province.
Lin Xiuqing paused while counting the wages, "So soon? Or wait until the end of the month? Rest at home for a few days first?"
"No, it will be July by the end of the month, too late. Going there earlier can help catch more sea urchins. I'm not tired anyway. I've been out to sea at most, sitting on the boat, doing nothing, and I don't need to rest."
"What are your plans? How many boats? Where's Dad?"
"I'll take these workers with me first, and drive the freshwater boat and the trawling boat at home."
He was thinking that since he wasn't at home anyway, the freshwater boat would just sit there, so it would be better to go there earlier, so that he wouldn't have to ask his father to tow it away.
Driving a small boat across provinces against the wind and waves still takes more than ten hours on the road, which is still quite risky. Driving a freshwater boat is much safer, just as an additional guarantee for yourself.
And he has to take more than 10 people with him, so driving a freshwater boat is safer.
"Dad stays at home first?"
"Yes, it's useless for him to go early anyway, so he can go to the Internet cafe at home first. When the flood season is approaching, I will call him in advance to inform him, and he will come over."
"That's fine. Dongsheng will let Dad go to the net at home. When you notify him, he will set off with his elder brother and others."
"Well, it's settled. Go to the farmers' house tomorrow to buy more rice and husk it. This year, the number of people will be no less than last year."
"Got it. Tomorrow, I will collect all the fruits and vegetables that can be stored in the fields and bring them to you."
"You can do it. I will notify others to prepare tomorrow."
I told the villagers a few days ago that those who plan to go there to make money this year should write the application report in advance, and he will take it to help them apply.
After all, he is the vice president, so of course he has to manage these people. If there is any temporary situation, the official will also find him.
Tomorrow, let his mother go to the workshop and say a few words. The whole village should know in less than half a day.

After hearing about this, some people began to worry about what would happen to everyone after he left.
They knew how to go, but without a backbone in their hearts, they would not be able to do anything.
So the next day, villagers kept asking questions at his doorstep and his workshop.
Ye Yaodong also repeatedly assured that he was just going there to settle down in advance and help everyone apply for fishing licenses. The place was still the same place and the pier was still the same pier.
And his father would stay and wait for his notice, and then go with everyone. The villagers' restless emotions were calmed down.
Ye Yaodong could understand it. After all, something happened last year, it was normal for everyone to rely on him more. When they were familiar with going there every year, it probably didn't matter whether he was there or not.
He also told the villagers that he would leave on the 17th and asked them to send the application form to him before this time. He would not wait for them after that time.
He also calculated this time. A few days ago, Ye's father took advantage of the good weather on the Dragon Boat Festival and went out to sea with several boats at night, and he had not returned yet.
He calculated that he should be back in about two or three days. The time he told the villagers was reserved.
He had to wait for his father to come back and talk to him before he could leave, and it just took time to prepare things.
In the past two days, he had been busy with the departure, and he had not touched the ground. His friends were all out at sea, so they could only talk to each other in the evening.
Finally, his father came back at noon on the 18th. After talking to his father, he could set off with peace of mind.
June 17th, the lunar calendar is May 11th, which was originally an auspicious day for travel. He had checked it in advance, but his father came back a day late, so he could only set off one day later.
Although the 19th was not an auspicious day for travel, it would not be a bad day, as long as everything was not unlucky.
The 20th was actually also an auspicious day for travel, but he didn't want to wait for this day. He had already delayed for two days waiting for his father to come back.
Because of the two-day delay, Ye's father was scolded by the old lady and Ye's mother, and they took turns scolding for two days.
When he left in the early morning, he could still hear his father being complained by two women.
"To go out and make big money, you have to choose a good day. It's all your fault..."
The old lady asked Ye's mother worriedly, "Is the date you chose accurate? Is today okay?"
"It's not as good as the 11th, but it's okay today. It would be better if it was a day later. We are going to travel far away, so what's the harm of waiting one more day, waiting for a good day? Anyway, we have been waiting for several days."
"It's good that it's not bad. It's all because of waiting for him..."
Ye's father was too lazy to pay attention to them. What does it have to do with him?
Is he good at fortune-telling, or what?
He didn't tell me in advance, how could he know that he would come back early?
We only knew that Dongzi would go early, but how could we know which day he would go early?
But he knew he couldn't tell her. The more he told her, the more excited they became. One of them was his beloved daughter, and the other was very proud of her current ability as a sorcerer. She kept talking about the days and hours, and believed in the good and bad luck she had calculated.
He wanted to ask her if she could calculate when he would be angry to death?
Ye Yaodong drove a small trawler to the deep-water port in the town to find his own fresh-collecting boat, and then asked everyone to move all the supplies on the boat to the fresh-collecting boat.
After all, the small trawler had only an empty deck, and the small two square meters of space could not even hold a few bags of rice and oil.
Now they were all piled on the deck, along with many tools, bamboo baskets, large and small barrels, etc. There were more than a dozen workers on the boat, and everyone had very little space to stand.
It would take more than ten hours to drive along the way. It didn't matter if everyone stood on the edge and got wet by the waves, but it would affect the supplies.
Although he also used nylon cloth to pad the bottom, it was not very useful. He brought too many things. It would be better to move to the storage space of the fresh food collection ship to avoid the wind, sun, rain and waves.
"Fuck! Is this the boss's boat?"
"Boss, you're hiding it too well, aren't you? There's such a big boat!"
"Damn, I was wondering how to get to the town, and when I asked Adong, he only said that we'd know when we got there. It turns out there's such a big surprise!"
"That's awesome, so impressive, such a big boat!"
"That's amazing. I heard a few days ago that you have another 30-meter-long boat. I thought it was just a rumor, and people who didn't know were bragging. It turns out it's real."
"I heard it too, but I heard people say you have a 30-meter-long boat last year, so I didn't take it seriously. I didn't even see its shadow, and I thought it was all nonsense."
"I thought we were really going to drive this small boat, but it turns out there's a big boat waiting here, hahaha..."
...
Ye Yaodong listened to them talking one after another, and they were all very surprised. They kept talking like machine guns, and he quickly stopped them.
"Stop talking, move the supplies on the ship quickly, move them here, we have to hurry up and leave, it's almost dawn."
"Coming, coming, right away..."
Everyone hurried over, half of them went over, and the other half stood where they were, so that they could move them to the other side.

There were so many people that the goods that filled the entire deck were moved in just over ten minutes, and it was not visible on the fresh-collecting ship at all, as they were all loaded into the fish warehouse and cargo warehouse. The deck was clean and still so empty.
After everyone finished moving the goods, they realized that this ship seemed different from other ships.
"Boss, your new boat is so empty, is there something missing?"
"Net lifting machine, you idiot, but why is it missing? And what about cranes?"
"This one is a fresh catch boat, I specially customized it for receiving goods, so it is different from other fishing boats. You wait here, I'll go to refill the diesel."
After saying this, Ye Yaodong left them in a state of panic and left them to discuss on the boat.
After he refilled the diesel, he set off again from the town.
"Brother Dong, you built a fresh catch boat, do you want to collect the goods yourself in the future?"
"Then what about your other boats?"
"Boss, you have one more boat, do you have to hire people again, I, I, I..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "It depends on your performance in the next period of time. If you perform well, I will give priority to you to stay, and then you can get a monthly salary like the people on the Dongsheng."
After leaving this sentence, he walked to the cockpit, leaving everyone excited.
"Haha, I said we would definitely get priority."
"That's amazing. They have already arranged such a large freshwater ship. What will happen in the future?"
"In the future, we will be able to arrange a large fleet."
"In two years, there will definitely be a bigger ship. Adong's ships are getting bigger every year..."
