Chapter 1251 Profits

The two of them walked around the dock, and unexpectedly encountered another fight, which seemed to be because the selling point was occupied.

There were dozens of people fighting again, and the two watched from a distance.

"Damn... I just saw two groups of people fighting, and they were held down by the people next to them. I thought they wouldn't fight, but they didn't expect it to be a fight again. It's really chaotic..."

Ye Yaodong also agreed, "Yes, it's really chaotic here..."

It's more chaotic than all the docks he has been in.

It's only afternoon, not the most crowded time.

When I went to sea in my previous life, I was already old and didn't participate in the chaos of this era. Now I have encountered several cases in just two days here, and I personally participated in one.

It's really chaotic...

After the rectification in my previous life, the docks were generally very orderly, not as chaotic as they are now.

"Someone is here to maintain..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how many people do they catch every day?"

"Hey, they ran away, they reacted quickly..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the people who were fighting and said to stop. Before the people who were maintaining law and order came, he quickly lifted the things onto the cart and pushed it away. He looked very skilled.

Although they were not habitual offenders, they were used to it and were familiar with the rules on the dock. Both sides stopped without hesitation.

The two looked at each other and he said, "You still have to run fast!"

"Yeah, fighting is fine, but you still have to run fast. You don't want the things, but you have to run away."

"Let's go back. I guess there are several cases every day, but we haven't encountered them."

The two took a circle and went to check the progress of the fishing nets before going home.

After returning, Ye Yaodong redistributed the personnel who would go out to sea the next day. He selected 6 people to go out to sea with him, asked 2 people to go out to longline fishing, and left 2 people to watch the house.

The remaining 6 people were asked to follow Uncle Zheng and his team to go out to sea to learn how to use radar nets.

He thought about it and thought it was better to listen to Uncle Zheng. The big boats used radar nets to catch hairtail, and the small boats continued to use longline fishing.

After all, their boats did not have other special equipment, nor did they have technical workers who knew how to catch hairtail, so they could not fish in a targeted manner. The harvest from trawl nets was good, but it would definitely not be as profitable as catching hairtail after the flood season.

They kept the fishing nets they had originally reserved yesterday as usual.

Because of the accident today, none of the fishing boats went out to sea, so everyone bought materials and did longline fishing at home.

Father Ye and his boats did not go very far, and Ye Yaodong's boat could be contacted not long after leaving the shore.

After asking, they knew that the surrounding resources were rich. They drove to the East China Sea for more than two hours before they found a school of fish, and then they stayed in the surrounding area and did not leave.

No wonder they encountered fishing boats operating along the way when they came, and they were all big ones.

When he arrived, several ships were already fully loaded with cargo, and some ships even had their decks piled up.

"Oh, so many goods?"

Father Ye smiled, "Luckily you came early, otherwise if it was later, we would have to go back because we couldn't fit them on the boat."

"There are a lot of white pomfret and yellow croaker."

"As soon as we came out in the early morning the day before yesterday, we saw a fishing boat similar to ours nearby, which caught a whole net of big white pomfret. The shiny silver-white color was so beautiful, so we decided to try to drag a net here first, and then there were indeed too many pomfret, yellow croaker, shrimp and crabs."

"The resources here are really rich."

"Most of the time, one net here is equivalent to two nets at home, and there are more big fish, but it's a pity that those small fish are thrown directly into the sea."

"Don't be greedy, just make more money."

"After collecting the goods for you today, we will probably go out and trawling to see if the resources outside are better."

"Okay."

"Are you okay on the shore these two days?"

How should he answer this?

Congratulations, Dad, you are not at home?

Thinking that his father was still at sea and would not be able to return for a few days, it was better not to worry the old man. He would know when he returned. There was nothing much to say about this matter.

"It's okay. There is no big problem. You can fish at sea with peace of mind. I will come out to collect the goods in two days."

Father Ye really thought that nothing had happened and was relieved.

After Ye Yaodong searched all the fishing boats, he hurried to dock and go back before dark.

At dusk, the fishing boats all returned to the port collectively, docked and unloaded in an orderly manner, and the constant shouting was endless. There were people everywhere, and there were many late merchants and fishmongers.

He only needed to put the unloaded goods in place and wait for the merchants to choose. The prices of the same goods on the dock were basically not much different.

From the time the sun just set to the time when it was pitch black, the dock was still bustling with people, brightly lit, and a constant flow of people, which was ten times more lively than during the day.

Hundreds of thousands of fishermen and merchants gather in the port, masts stand in rows, fish and shrimps are everywhere, and the dock at night forms a unique landscape.

Seafood and fish are basically traded at night, and then transported to surrounding cities, or farther places, or to surrounding processing plants during the night break.

Although there is no cold chain vehicle, ice cubes and thick cotton cloth wrapping can keep it for two or three days without going bad.

There are also many seafood processing plants in the port city, and a large amount of seafood is transported in every day.

The evening breeze was blowing, and Ye Yaodong still had dinner on the dock, with fishermen eating with aluminum lunch boxes beside him.

He also took advantage of his free time to communicate with the fishermen next to him from time to time, knowing that this was the case at night, and it could last until dawn.

There were fishing boats coming and going, some docking, and some leaving. There was a large flow of people day and night, which was slightly less during the day, but it was also relatively speaking.

The seafood trading location of the fishing port in this era was different from that in the future. There was no international aquatic city, only markets and spontaneously formed fish markets, and they were only formed in the past two years.

Most fishermen would directly put the caught seafood on the dock, or trade at temporary stops.

Therefore, this also led to frequent blockages in the fishing port channel, and the management staff on the dock had to constantly clear the way, and only then did the official fish market set up for merchants to trade.

After some fishing boats docked, there were no stalls on the shore, so they had to move to the fish market.

There are also some wholesalers who specialize in the purchase of aquatic products. They will purchase seafood from different fishing boats at specific locations, and some fishing boats will specially deliver the goods to wholesalers.

Because of this, some intermediaries have also been formed.

Whether it is the fish market, the dock, the temporary docking point, or the designated purchase point, the flow of people is overflowing, hundreds of thousands of people come and go every day, and fish transactions are made all the time.

There is no worry about not being able to sell the freshly arrived goods. There are thousands of fishing boats docking every day, and tens of thousands of tons of goods are constantly transported out.

Similarly, because the current trading methods are relatively primitive and the infrastructure is not as developed as in the future, he has seen no less than five or six chaos in front of the stall in one night, and this is still within his sight.

Not to mention, the place he can't see is a real mixed place.

And his nearly hundreds of tons of goods were sold almost in the early morning amid the constant flow of people, and all kinds of goods can always meet the buyers they need.

The younger brothers around him have been guarding by the side. Without more people together, there is no way to walk freely on the dock with money.

After they returned home, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not easy to make money..."

"Yes, it's the first time I see such a busy dock, the first time I see what a big port is, I've learned a lot."

"No wonder Uncle Zheng has been urging us to come up."

"Their small boats don't have much cargo, they should be sold out by dark, and it's safer for several boats to go in and out together."

"When you were selling goods, brother Dong, you took turns to look around, and you really saw fights everywhere."

"Be careful, go to bed early, it's almost dawn."

Ye Yaodong went back to a room alone and counted the money he sold today.

The more he counted, the more excited he became. At that time, he kept weighing and keeping accounts. He didn't dare to count money on the dock when he had free time, for fear that his money would be exposed and people would be jealous.

Now when he counted, his hands were shaking. Most of them were goods worth a few cents, and a very small part could be sold for one or two cents, two or three cents, but even so, he could sell 11,826.6 yuan.

If he is conscientious, he can share the profits with the other four boats at a 40% discount, and he can make 30!!!

This is three times what he makes from purchasing jellyfish in Vancouver, and twice what he makes from trawling.

He doesn't make any money from the ice and fuel he supplies, and he can just deliver as much as he buys at the dock to the boat.

The difference in the price of the fish purchased in the middle and sold on the shore is enough for him to make.

The four boats also benefited, as they didn't need to dock at all and then spend a lot of time selling the fish. In half a day, the fishing boats could catch several more nets at sea.

Before, when trawling at home, he could only sell the fish to the freshwater collection boat once every two days for a little over 1,000 yuan, and only 1500 or 1600 yuan when he sold it on the shore.

Now he doesn't need to go ashore, and he can collect the fish for him, and each boat can sell for 1500 or 1600 yuan.

This is because he calculated 60% out of conscience, but if he calculated 10% more, it would only be an extra 100 yuan at most.

The core reason is that there are a lot of fish. The trawl catch is indeed 1/3 more than at home.

Sure enough, although this place is mixed with fish and dragons, risks also mean high returns.

Otherwise, how could so many fishing boats and hundreds of thousands of fishermen gather in this port? They all come here to make a fortune.

After counting the money, Ye Yaodong was ecstatic. He quickly checked all the bills of lading, and then calculated the price of the goods received by each boat.

"So this is called making a fortune every day..."

Last month, I was in Vancouver for a whole month. Although I couldn't catch many jellyfish, I was idle for half a month due to the typhoon.

But in the past 10 days, I have earned about 18,000 sea urchins.

There are also fresh jellyfish that have been collected by the fresh boat for ten days. Although the number was large in the first few days, the local boats followed suit in the next few days, so he earned less, but he still earned 7,000 to 8,000 in total.

There are also small boats that caught some during that period.

All in all, he earned about 28,000 yuan in Vancouver last month, and remitted 20,000 yuan back home. Ah Qing asked him to keep the rest, so he kept it with him.

In addition, he also brought 3,000 yuan with him when he left. After deducting the fuel expenses for that month, he still had nearly 9,000 yuan before he came to Zhou City to settle the accounts with all the fishing boats.

However, before leaving Zhou City, he calculated the profit and dividends of that month in Vancouver with all the fishing boats, including the Harvest and Shunfeng.

The dividends of 16 fishing boats in total, plus the dividends of two large boats, he took 30% of the dividends of the two boats, a total of 22,009.

A Guang also took 2,600 yuan in agency fees.

Those boat bosses kept saying that they didn't make much, but in fact they took half of it.

Add to that the workers' expenses and fuel costs, so they said they didn't make much, but in fact they only made a few hundred yuan.

Who let the typhoon affect us for half a month last month.

It's because the blood of jellyfish is expensive that everyone didn't lose money.

Compared with last year's income, last month was not profitable, so he planned to come to Zhou City, and everyone thought about following him and fighting again.

Otherwise, if they didn't make a lot of money, no one would be ashamed to go back.

Compared with all the fishing boats, he is actually the real winner.

And Fengshou and Shunfeng were only profitable because of trawling, and before the typhoon, a boatload of jellyfish was pulled back, so they made money.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel that he was really a capital.

With so many boats, he didn't have to do anything. He could get half of the money earned by those boats.

For the remaining half, the boat boss had to pay for labor and fuel, so at most he could only get 1/4.

He was definitely working for him, but renting his boat was better than being a boatman.

He opened his luggage, and the zippered compartment was neatly stacked with more than 33,000 yuan.

There were big unity and Mao bills, all tied up with rubber bands, and a lot of coins, which really filled the zippered compartment.

Adding the 20,000 yuan remitted back and deducting the 3,000 yuan he brought out, he actually earned more than 50,000 last month.

Half of it was earned by renting out the joint-stock fishing boats!

So how wise it was for him to buy so many fishing boats at that time, these are production tools that can make money.

By the way, it can also benefit the village.

The fishermen who rented his boats also improved their lives, from being poor in the village to becoming middle class in the village.

However, although the money he earned was deducted from the fuel cost, the boatmen’s wages had not yet been paid.

After all, he hadn’t returned yet, and it wouldn’t take long for them to get all the money they paid. They either lost money in gambling or spent it on ah ah ah, so they definitely couldn’t save much.

Anyway, they were all from the same village, so they weren’t afraid that he wouldn’t give them money.

In previous years, they would settle the accounts when they returned, and they would be happier to get it in one lump sum.

He made a preliminary estimate, and with his father, there were a total of 22 workers, and the wages would be about 3,000 yuan.

So he probably made a net profit of more than 000 last month.

So happy!

And today, he can earn about 000 for the first time since he came to Zhoushan, and it’s only been two days.

His fresh-harvesting boat is really a killer.

These days, as long as you master the production tools, making money is really not a problem.

The more production tools there are, the rest of the people can only serve as tools to make money for him, and only a small part of the profit is distributed. In fact, all of them are working for him.

Ye Yaodong happily put his part of the money that he had just calculated back into the zipper layer.

There are more than 33,000 in it now, plus the more than 00 he put in, a total of almost 38,000.

He was thinking about when to send some money back. There are too many accumulated, and it is not safe to keep it with him. After all, this is a rental house, with all kinds of people.

Although he specifically left someone at home to watch, who knows if it is reliable.

In other words, he just came here and has not dealt with the money he brought with him.

While thinking in his mind, he tied the corresponding amount of money that should be divided by the other three fishing boats and the bill of lading together with a rubber band, and then put it in the password box and locked it.

"This place is chaotic, but he has so many boats, it is really easy to make money here."

"I don't know how the other small fishing boats harvested today?"

Because of the trouble yesterday, many people fought before they sold all their goods, and there is no way to refer to the income.

Ye Yaodong took out the watch from his pocket and checked the time.

"Fuck, it's 4 o'clock."

He looked outside the window and saw that it was already a little light.

He didn't expect to count money until dawn.

He quickly put the password box in a hole in the ground, which he dug out yesterday. He put a wooden board on top of the hole, and a wardrobe on top of the wooden board.

There was no other way. He was away from home, and he was renting a house. Of course, he had to find a way to hide so much money.

The seaside is prone to moisture, and some people do put a wooden board under the wardrobe to prevent moisture on the ground on south windy days.

After hiding the password box, he lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.

He thought to himself that he would call A Qing tomorrow and remit the money back, and just keep a few thousand yuan with him.

When his father comes back next time, his father will take over the fresh food ship to sell goods. He will take the money to the ship, or put the money on the ship. He feels safer.

You can't put all your eggs in one basket.

Fortunately, he brought many boatmen with him. With 10 people assigned to the two boats, he still had 12 people on the shore, 13 people including himself.

Leave two people to look after the house, and the remaining people will be more than enough to protect his father to sell goods.

Ye Yaodong fell asleep while thinking, and when he woke up, it was noon, just in time for lunch.

There were not many people eating at this time, so he asked casually.

"Some went to learn radar network, and some went to the dock. Xiaowu just went to the dock for a walk and picked up 13 yuan. He made a lot of money!"

"Aha? You found money?" Ye Yaodong was happy, "You're lucky."

"Yeah, they envy us so much, so except for us who are watching the house, everyone else went to the dock to pick up money."

"Haha, there are a lot of cash transactions, it's really easy to drop money, go and have a look, maybe you can really get something."

The light is not good at night, sometimes you don't know if you dropped money, and there are people coming and going over there, if you have nothing to do, go and have a look, try your luck.

It's better than staying at home to gamble, or looking for money in the alleys.

He has just been here for a few days, and the city was busy a few days ago, and he went out to sea, but no one came to him to collect their wages.

It is estimated that in a few days, people will probably come to him to collect their wages.

"How were the other villagers' fishing boats doing yesterday? Did anything go wrong?"

"I heard that Uncle Lin also encountered a fishmonger who shortchanged them yesterday. They found out in time and there were many people, so they just said they would not sell anymore. Fortunately, there was no big conflict. Those fishmongers cursed and went to find the next one."

"And then someone was almost robbed. The dock was too chaotic and there were all kinds of people."

"There is no way, we can only ask them to be more careful when going out, go out in groups, and don't be alone."

Ye Yaodong thought for a while and said, "When you come back in the evening, I will give you last month's salary. I don't know when you will be back, so you have to put some money in your pocket."

The eyes of the two people who were eating lit up.

"You're paying me now, why don't you wait until I get back?"

Ye Yaodong raised his eyebrows, "You're going back for the Chinese New Year, so I'll wait until the Chinese New Year to pay you? You guys can just hold on for the next few months?"

"Haha, then I'll pay you one month first, which will be used as living expenses for the remaining months, and I'll save the rest at your place, and I'll take it all at once during the Chinese New Year."

"Hehe, I've run out of money a long time ago, but fortunately I don't have to spend money on food and drink..."

He smiled and said, "I've advanced several yuan each of your wages, I'll do the math later, and I'll pay you all the money before the 1st of this month."

Some of them came here at the beginning of last month, some came with him at the end of the month before last, and 12 of them were working in the water, and they received extra subsidies.

He thought it was a bit confusing to calculate, so he thought of paying them a lump sum of wages before this month in advance.

It's just right to give them as living expenses first, because who knows how long they'll stay here, and they can't keep getting advance wages there.

Advance this one, advance that one, frequent advances, when the time comes, it's more troublesome for him to calculate the accounts, so it's better to just pay them a month's living expenses first.

No matter where they spend it, as long as they don't ask him for advances frequently, he is not at home every day.

Clear the messy accounts of last month first, and then calculate the wages of all people from the 1st of this month, and see if anyone is special.

It will be easier to calculate the accounts when the time comes, just start from this month and settle monthly.

This year, when he brought them out, the daily salary of each person is still 4.5 yuan, just like last year. When his father went to hire people, it was easy to call, so there was no price increase.

But this salary is not low, equivalent to the daily salary of a skilled worker.

4.5 yuan a day, a month is 135 yuan, and everyone in the village is scrambling to do it.

Now they are eager to stay until the end of the year and go back to get the salary for the first half of the year directly!

And he has 22 people besides him, which is 2,970 yuan a month. At that time, everyone will be paid the same monthly and it will be clear.

"Great, thank you, boss."

"They will be so happy when they come back."

"Some of you who came late will get about 100 yuan, and some may get nearly 200 yuan, which is probably enough for you to spend for half a year. If you really want to go back for the Chinese New Year, everyone can bring back a lot of money when they go back for the Chinese New Year."

The two of them were grinning so hard that their mouths were crooked.

"Then let's wait until the Chinese New Year to go back and stay here to make money first. I hope you make a lot of money and everyone can have a good year."

"Well, worship Mazu more and let Mazu bless me more."

"Haha, it's a must."

The few people who went to the dock to pick up money also came back to eat after they had dinner.

When they heard Ye Yaodong say that he would pay them their wages before the 1st, they were all very happy.

"I said I would definitely have good fortune today. It turns out it's not from the dock, but from the boss."

Ye Yaodong asked with a smile: "Did you pick up any money at the dock?"

"No, there were too many people, and I kept my head down, and I almost got lost."

"My pocket was cut, but luckily there was no money."

"Thieves are really powerful nowadays. I met someone who said that several thousand dollars was stolen and he cried at the dock."

"We also heard that someone was dragged into the alley and robbed last night, and was found half dead this morning."

Ye Yaodong frowned, "Be careful, it's nothing, it's better to go to the dock less, and go out less at night if there's nothing to do."

"Yeah, I know, we need more people to go out now."

"Wait until I finish my meal and go to the post office with me to make a phone call."

"Okay, boss."

It's better to remit the money quickly.

Ye Yaodong went back to the house after dinner to calculate the wages of the workers, and those who were at home were paid first.

Then he took out 10,000 yuan from the password box and went to the bank to remit the money. He didn't dare to remit too much at one time, because so many workers were watching.

Remitting 30,000 yuan at one time would make their eyes drop. After all, they had just arrived here and some of their ships had just set sail.

He will come here by himself tomorrow. Today he will take someone with him to familiarize himself with the route.

Lin Xiuqing was already anxious at home.

After receiving his call, I immediately dropped a lot of questions.

It turned out that someone called back and told what happened in the past two days, and the news spread all over the village.

He quickly comforted him, "I'm fine. I don't care who your husband is. I'm President Ye. Nothing's wrong. It's just that the dock is a bit chaotic. Everyone is new here and their tempers are too tough."

"In recent days, everyone has become familiar with it on the dock. Some people have to temper their tempers. We will pay attention to it in the future."

Lin Xiuqing: "My family is scared to death. I'm afraid that like those people in the town last year, going out will not be as good as at home. I have to control my temper, tolerate it when I can, and give in when I can. People outside will not care. Who are you, you don’t care about people’s feelings, please be careful.”

Ye Yaodong echoed while listening to the old lady on the other end of the phone calling: "Dongzi, Dongzi, are you okay, Dongzi... don't let your family worry..."

And Ye Xiaoxi's childish voice kept calling daddy, and everyone was rushing to speak.

"Dad...you have to be good...be safe...A Tai asked Mazu to bless you...Dad...did you hear that? I also asked Mazu to bless you..."

Ye Yaodong couldn't help but smile on his face as he listened.

"I heard it. I heard everything you said. When I make a lot of money, I will go back and buy you gifts."

Lin Xiuqing recounted it to them.

"Okay, okay, bless dad to make a lot of money..."

"I wish you could come back safely. Come back soon. Alas... everyone is gone..."

Mother Ye also spoke, "Come back as soon as possible. It's too chaotic outside. I heard about it two days ago, and I was very nervous. Your father is so unlucky, I'm even afraid that he will go in again this time. "

Ye Yaodong: "..."

"You know, I know what's going on. Don't worry. We're all going in and out with a group of people. We'll be careful and try not to cause trouble."

I said that morning is not suitable for coding. At 9 o'clock this morning, when I opened my eyes and saw the backend, I was in a panic. I quickly changed and re-wrote.

I was so hurt by writing that I felt depressed and procrastinated today.

Write early tomorrow! Update soon! No more staying up late!
