Chapter 923 No Loss at All (7000 Words)

Ye Yaodong instructs several boatmen on how to place them in the water.

This busy work lasted only two hours.

The nets were not placed around the beach, but on the left side of the beach where they were staying. After they were placed, he asked everyone to swim ashore and see the results when they woke up tomorrow.

We don't expect a large swath of jellyfish floating around like this morning. If a few scattered ones leak in, it means it's feasible.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone, hurry up and take a shower, get on the boat and sleep. It's been a hard day after a busy day."

Everyone politely said no.

Ye Yaodong was shirtless and wearing shorts, standing on the beach with his hands on his hips, breathing, and looking at the sea.

The boatmen came ashore and began to fetch water for bathing. Fortunately, there was no need to boil hot water in the summer. Each of them had half a basin of cold water, so they took a bath and washed their hair. They also put their clothes in the bath water and rubbed them for a few times. Sunshine on the boat.

I'm not that particular when I go out, and my clothes aren't that dirty either. It's mostly just sweat.

Ye Yaodong is the same.

While he was taking a bath, Aguang came over and told him what he had just said to Ye's father, and also calculated the money.

"Are you sure you want to pay it back to me, excluding my agency fee?"

"It's necessary. I don't earn all the money. I can't walk when I see the money. But I will return it to you quietly. I still take it from you openly. My eldest brother and my second brother won't let them know."

"I'm a big guy, I'll definitely have hundreds of them in a month..."

"I'm not greedy for money, nor am I obsessed with money. Without you, I wouldn't have thought of working as an intermediary. I might just sit on the dock enjoying the cool air and eating melon seeds with nothing to do."

"What's more, my father has brought two more big boats over. I'm not going to split the agency fees for the two boats. Where is the big part? You can only count it as the small part."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's true. The three boats coming tomorrow are all yours, don't divide them. Since I'm making a small profit here, I'll accept it."

"But don't rush to give it to me. It's troublesome to give it back and forth like this today. I'll leave it with you first. Anyway, the order is here. Let's settle the settlement when we get back."

"That's okay too."

"Come on, brothers, let's sleep together."

Ye Yaodong put his arm around his shoulder and walked to the boat together.

"There is something else I want to tell you. In order to make it easier to receive the goods, Chen Jianian and I have discussed it. From now on, we will only receive the goods three times a day, so as not to have the factory temporarily unable to queue up the car and have to wait. Then It takes too much time for everyone.”

"That's good, so that some people don't get greedy and are reluctant to come back when they see the small number. Some people come early and some come late. A boat can't fill a car, and it's impossible for other people's cars to wait there forever."

Ye Yaodong thinks it would be good to schedule a fixed time to dock. Everyone can go ashore to sell together, and get on the boat together after the goods are sold. They can also have someone to take care of them, and they don't have to worry about being spotted if they are left alone.

"Yes, that's what I think. We fish separately. There are many and scattered fishing boats. The docking time is not consistent, and we can't just call a car when the boat comes back."

"There are more than a dozen ships there, and it's impossible for the cars to just watch the goods from a few of our ships and collect them there. They also have to go to other villages to collect the goods."

"It's best to have the same time. If it doesn't dock at that time, let them find a way to marinate it and wait for the next car."

He had no objection, it had no impact on him. Anyway, as long as he told it in advance, they would control the time and send it back when the time came.

"I know, have you informed the others?"

"I told you, we discussed it in the afternoon, and told everyone when we were selling goods in the evening, because we encountered such a problem when selling goods in the afternoon. We were inconsistent when we came back, and the cars couldn't be on call at all times, or they would just wait there all the time. "

"Which three times?"

"8:30~9:00 in the morning, 2:00~2:30 in the afternoon, and 6:00~6:30 in the evening. Tractors and trucks will arrive at about the same time, and there may be some delays. I'll wait and see, folks. You can catch whichever car you can, and if they are both there at the same time, it’s up to them to choose.”

Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder, "It seems that you had a good communication with Chen Jianian this afternoon?"

"Uncle Yang's factory is like two people working together. He doesn't suffer any loss. He can't accept even one tractor. Let's talk and communicate and he can understand the situation. This is how we are good to you and me."

"Otherwise, if I don't be more ethical and don't give him money, he won't be able to do anything. At most, my reputation will be a little bad, but the villagers will still recognize me. If I don't need the reputation, I can get more money."

"If you dare to cause trouble behind your back, we have 15 boats, and you have guns on the boat. How can you be afraid of them, so cooperation is the best for everyone."

Aguang was proud of himself. He was not a vegetarian, and he was not as smooth-talking as Dongzi, but he was not stupid, he was also a lively person, and he was also good at talking and doing things.

"Okay, okay, you can be soft and hard at the same time, but don't let my dad know, he is old-fashioned."

"Well, it's just this year anyway. As long as everyone is doing well on the surface, everyone will do their own thing next year. He knows it in his heart. Anyway, he won't lose money this year. He has benefited a lot from you bringing out so many ships."

"Okay, then I will dock early tomorrow according to the time you agreed for the car to arrive."

Some of the boatmen on the boat were already snoring, and some were chatting quietly.

When the two of them lay down on their own seats, the conversation was still intense, and Ah Zheng lowered his voice and muttered.

"Will this net bag you're messing with be useful?"

"It should be useful, right? I'm not sure. Anyway, I'll know in the morning."

He only knows that this is how people breed them, so catching them shouldn't be a problem, right?

Anyway, you won't lose money no matter what. Only by trying it will you know whether it is trustworthy. If it doesn't work, just put in more effort. The fishing net can be reused again and again.

"You spent the whole day on the dock today. How are you? Are there any gangsters or anything like that?"

"Don't tell me, it's true. There are a few small house purchase points next to the pier. I just watched a group of gangsters come to collect protection fees, and the stall owners all paid them honestly."

"I also asked why the public security bureau was so arrogant right next to it. Some people said they had taken care of it, but they would pop up again within a few hours. If they didn't beat people or do anything, they could at most give them a lesson and drive them away. .”

"It's not always possible to catch people if they really cause trouble. They are all young people in their teens and twenties, with very nimble legs and feet. If they are caught, they will be locked up for a few days and then released. It is commonplace, and those people are not afraid. "

"So as long as there are no major problems, we basically don't care. The police can't keep watch all day long. Everyone is used to it. They say they only come once or twice a month, and the family just takes a few dollars and leaves. "

"Okay, then you should be smarter. If you have nothing to do in your free time, you can either sit in front of the Public Security Bureau and show them the door."

A Guang said with a smile: "That's what I think. The thicker the skin, the more you can eat it. Once it's raw, it's cooked twice. If you're a ready-made janitor, you can still look familiar."

"You can figure it out yourself. Go to bed. I'll probably get up at 4 o'clock tomorrow."

The others had also fallen asleep long ago while they were chatting quietly, and their snores were still ringing.

Ye Yaodong was also exhausted. He had never rested like this from 4 o'clock in the morning to now around 9 o'clock in the evening. He fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes and did not feel the noise in his ears.

He didn't sleep until dawn. Today he woke up by himself, thinking about things in his mind, and he was also very punctual in life.

The boatmen on the ship either covered their heads with clothes or put their arms over their eyes to block the light.

When he sat up, Father Ye also sat up and whispered: "It's almost dawn."

"Um."

Ye Yaodong looked at the sea. The swarm of jellyfish that surrounded the fishing boat yesterday was invisible today. He only saw two floating in the farthest distance. It was unclear what was going on in the net bag.

"Not today, Dad, go ahead and sleep a little longer."

"No, then just keep sleeping for a while."

Both father and son were slightly disappointed, but Ye Yaodong thought that it would probably be dawn, so he could check it out later, but it was already in his pocket. It was still early, and the tide hadn't gone out yet.

The two of them covered their heads and planned to go back to sleep. Some people on other boats also woke up early and wanted to see if there were any jellyfish swarms today, but it was the same. After taking a look, they continued to lie back.

It was bright again this time, and the sun was high in the sky. After a few people got up, others also got up one after another, and there began to be a little noise around them.

"A Dong, are you up? You can go check out the net bag you put down yesterday..."

"The tide is out and I see jellyfish inside..."

"Yes, you can pull up the net and take a look."

Some fishing boats are far away from each other and can't be seen very clearly. They are all shouting there.

Ye Yaodong also woke up and climbed onto the reef. He looked over and saw that there were several different colors. He immediately asked seven or eight people to join him in the water, and went over to take in the two nets to have a look.

Everyone was also curious, either on the boat or standing on the rocks to take a look.

The tide had gone out, and they didn't have to swim like they did last night. As soon as Ye Yaodong and the others walked through the water to the net bag, they saw five or six large and small transparent jellyfish of various colors inside, and they were all delighted.

"It really does!"

"Dongzi, this is really feasible. There are also two big ones and two small ones in the net bag here, which weighs more than a hundred pounds."

"It's similar here. There are three big ones and two small ones. They should weigh two hundred kilograms. It's really OK to put them in a net bag like this."

"Collect it first, divide it into two groups, and use three or four people to collect one net. This one is very heavy."

Pulling the net is a laborious task. At night, I just randomly put two test pieces in, and I was able to net nearly ten, and half of them were very large, weighing about three hundred kilograms in total, so it was worth it.

These jellyfish, plus the net bag and the weight of the sea water, are really heavy. Three or four of them worked together and used a bamboo pole as a lever, and they could only move slowly to the shore bit by bit.

However, everyone’s faces were filled with the joy of the harvest.

Everyone on the shore saw the net they were moving up little by little, and they all started whispering.

Father Ye was also full of joy, "It's really okay."

"If you put two of them like this, it looks like you can gain two to three hundred kilograms more. That's not bad. You'll get your money back in one day."

"Yes, two to three hundred pounds, and one pound of jellyfish blood can be made. This is enough to make a profit. You can make a profit by selling the jellyfish heads and jellyfish skins."

"Then we can all learn it tonight, and we can also try it around the island."

"It's okay to give it a try. It's good to earn more. Otherwise, if you don't see it, it will float over, and if you don't catch it, it will float away."

Everyone saw that the net bag was almost moving to the beach, so they all jumped down to take a closer look. At the same time, they all helped to hold the handle and pull it up to the beach.

"Tell me how many there are, one, two, three...nine..."

"Okay, the five oldest and four youngest should weigh 300 kilograms..."

"That's okay, it's extra, it doesn't take long, and it saves trouble."

"How much did you pay for two nets?"

Ye Yaodong didn't hide it, and said honestly: "A dozen yuan is enough. These two networks are enough for today."

"That's a good idea. You can make more money selling it in one day."

"This is just the beginning, we should be able to catch more later, right?"

"That depends on the situation, it's hard to say..."

Everyone nodded and thought about buying a few to try.

And Ye Yaodong also thought about buying a few more in the afternoon, a little more, so that they could be lined up in a row, and they could be placed farther away to catch more when they went out.

"Dad, divide these up. Let's take a shower and change clothes first."

Father Ye had already started cutting it up with a knife, and everyone was watching around him. He had just woken up early in the morning, hadn't eaten yet, and hadn't even gone out to sea yet. All he could see was that his family was busy working first.

"How about we take advantage of the free time now and go to the mountain to cut down a few bamboos, and then we can buy the fishing nets and use them in the evening?"

"That's okay, go now."

"Then let's go, let's go now, the food is not ready yet..."

A lot of people were shouting and cheering towards the island. Ye Yaodong also asked others to follow him and cut a few more bamboos back. He planned to put eight more nets to make ten.

In this way, I can catch more every morning and early in the morning, and earn dozens of yuan more every day.

But since they are not from the local area, they bring a lot of people and spend a lot of money, so they can only find ways to make more money.

People on more than a dozen boats started to get busy. After they all finished their meal, Ye Yaodong also pickled the two to three hundred kilograms of jellyfish from this morning and put them on the boat, planning to catch them together later. Sell ​​and save some time.

For the next whole day, their four boats basically stayed near the trench. Ye Yaodong stayed there all day long, only sending his father's boat to deliver goods once.

His eldest and second brothers did the same, sending one boat back and leaving another boat to guard there.

In contrast, the cargo of their two boats was more than that of the other boats combined. The first trip was only twice that of an ordinary fishing boat, but the second and third trips were equal to that of all the boats combined. The amount of four boats.

Moreover, their catch today was 15% more than yesterday.

In the morning trip, Ye Yaodong's two shipments plus jellyfish blood were settled at about 500. In the afternoon and evening trips, both were more than 200. In total, the income of the two ships today was more than 900.

Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua have relatively less money, but the total of the three trips today is around 900 yuan, and there will be more tomorrow, and it will definitely exceed 1,000 yuan.

The four of them, a father and son, work together on four boats, and their income today is equal to what 15 other fishing boats receive.

The most important thing is that there are no jellyfish groups for them to catch directly this morning. If they go to sea to find them, there will only be scattered ones, which are not as good as yesterday morning when they sold them for more than 40 yuan at a time.

Not to mention the afternoon and evening, they have to return to the shore to sell goods. The round trip in the middle will delay at least more than two hours, maybe three hours. Plus the afternoon trip, the round trip will delay most of the fishing time. .

Ye Yaodong, father and son, and several brothers used two boats for transportation and two boats for continuous fishing. Moreover, they did not need to look elsewhere. As long as they stayed near the trench, there would be a steady stream of jellyfish emerging.

This also means that their four ships can equal the goods received by 13 other people's ships.

Among them, Ye Yaodong himself had two boats, and his two brothers' two boats accounted for another third, making a lot of money.

Among the 17 boats, he is considered the biggest winner.

Father Ye also knew that their goods were too eye-catching, so he was not in a hurry when he queued up to be weighed. He just stood there and did not move the goods directly to the shore, but let others weigh them first.

Most of the villagers think that it is safer to settle the knot once every few days, not to mention that Ye Yaodong did not have any problems when working with this person last year, and they are willing to believe it.

Only A Zheng is close to A Guang, and their goods are reserved exclusively for A Guang. The wealth does not go to outsiders, so they do not buy Chen Jiannian's account.

Of course, Aguang's two boats were also taken over by him, so how could he dare to take advantage of outsiders?

Anyway, Father Ye always waits until the end. Usually when the tractor is full, he and his son sell all the goods of the four boats to Aguang.

People have close relationships, so of course they prefer their son-in-law psychologically, but according to morality, he is still ranked first in Chen Jiannian's team.

Then when the queue arrived and the goods could no longer be received, he would naturally change teams.

He has gained a reputation for being modest and has done nothing morally wrong. His son-in-law has also benefited, and Dongzi can save half of the agency fee.

It has to be said that Father Ye is actually a thief at heart. Anyway, now that the matter has come to this, he must of course maximize his own interests.

If he docked early and others didn't, he wouldn't care. He would sell it directly to Chen Jiannian. For the sake of morality, he would fill up his cart and drive away. The villagers would have no choice but to choose Aguang.

You won't suffer any loss.

Therefore, at the end of the day, all the boats knew that the four of them, father and son, had caught the most, but they did not know how much more money the four boats had made.

When they returned to the island in the evening, everyone was busy opening the fishing nets and setting them like Ye Yaodong did last night. Various marks were made on the bamboo poles. There was no time to ask them how much they earned today.

When Ye Yaodong went to the shore to sell goods in the evening, he bought three more nets. It wasn't that he didn't want to buy more, but that all the fishing nets in several nearby shops had been plundered by their boats.

However, he also reserved 5 tickets and paid a deposit of 10 yuan. He only said that if they were ready in a few days, he would come and pick them up.

We were busy until 8 o'clock, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There were also many fishing nets near the island. They were not obvious when the tide was high, but when the tide was low, it was obviously a beautiful scenery.

After finishing all the goods, Ye Yaodong and his son had time to greet Father Pei and Uncle Zheng who arrived in the evening.

They had just returned together from the pier in the town. It must be said that the speed of the big ship was faster. They arrived quite early and rested at the pier for a while before waiting for everyone's fishing boat to dock.

Father Pei waited for them to finish their work before inviting Father Ye and the three brothers Ye Yaodong to board his big boat to chat about what happened in the past two days and the jellyfish situation on the sea.

But he also knew in his heart that when Father Ye was selling goods, Father Pei also watched and chatted with him. He also knew how much he sold in the evening and how much others sold.

I also knew in my heart that it was probably due to the trench and the fact that they only sent two boats back to deliver goods.

But he didn't expect that A Guang could actually bite off a large piece of meat from Chen Jianian's mouth and share a piece of the pie. In his opinion, this was a good thing, and he didn't dislike it, and now he always said that they were together. Dry.

"From this point of view, it is best to have two boats in hand, one boat docking, and the other boat staying still to fish."

Aguang immediately agreed, "Yes, Dad, I am very aware of the difference between the goods sold by Dongzi and other ships today. The other ships may not know how much Dongzi and his two uncles sold today. The difference is huge. It would be a shame for both of our ships to be released."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who would have thought? Last year we were all in the same boat, going and returning together. It's too late to say anything now, so don't say anything."

Father Pei also wanted to have a boat to help deliver goods and dock, so that his boat could stay in place and keep fishing. He kept looking at Father Ye.

Father Ye also understood what he meant. Anyway, it was just a shipment if he delivered it. It was okay to pick up his goods and deliver them together, but why?

This boat belongs to Dongzi alone, which means that Dongzi is required to dedicate a boat to deliver goods to everyone, but they take advantage of it. After all, the owner only owns three shares of the boat, so sacrificing one of him will benefit. It's everyone.

Ye's father was clear in his heart, but he just didn't say anything.

Neither should Ye Yaodong.

Although he also benefited at the same time, he also sacrificed at the same time. Others did not have to pay a penny, so they had to pay some reward.

"My dear, I think it's good for you to keep one boat and return one boat like this. It will increase efficiency, so I also want to send the goods to your boat tomorrow. Anyway, our boats will fish there last year, and everyone is there. We're in the same place and very close, so we won't let anyone else know."

"My dear, that guy is at a disadvantage. It means he has to use a boat to deliver goods back and forth. He makes two trips a day to sell goods on the road, but it will take five or six hours."

"I won't let him suffer a loss. Shouldn't we divide it into ten shares? At that time, half of the share will be deducted from the net profit and given to him as the daily transportation cost."

Chicken thief!

It turned out to be half a share of the net profit, not half a share sold, but half a share sold, but no expenses were deducted, which is equivalent to the agency fee, 50% off 1,000.

His two boats today earned almost 1,000, and half a share of 500 for one boat was only 25. If you deduct the fuel and labor costs, it would be even less. Big boats consume more fuel, so how much does it cost per day?

If he could spend 20 yuan to allow his boat to fish for five or six more hours, he would be willing to spend that money.

Sitting on this treasure land, he not only earns an extra 20 yuan in five or six hours, but also sells jellyfish blood, and he does not have to search all over the sea like other fishing boats.

"Uncle, what you said is so insincere..."

Ye Yaodong told him what he had just experienced psychologically.

Father Pei also laughed a little, "After calculation, it seems to be a little less than what I gained. It's because I didn't think too much and didn't think carefully. I just thought of it on the spur of the moment and said it casually."

"Otherwise, it's the same as the agency fee? How about selling it for 5 points? Based on your income from a fishing boat today, 500 is 25, which is considered an extra subsidy. After all, you still have to send one trip, and the extra time for a big boat , the extra income may only be about 100 yuan, which is considered a 1/4 share, and the rest is regarded as the collective partnership benefit."

"Uncle, you can't calculate it like that. You can't say that my boat has to hand over the load to me every day when it docks. See if they are happy to hand it over to my eldest and second brothers? As the weight increases, the fuel consumption of the fishing boat will also increase."

One code is another code, and the in-laws are the in-laws. In this matter of cooperation, the accounts must be settled clearly and clearly.

"At least the extra money your boat earns must be divided in half. I help you transport it back and forth, saving you five or six hours. If you make 100 in this time, then you will score 50 from me. "

"Do you think this is true? Does it have to be calculated this way? Besides, I also bear the cost of fuel. In total, I still lose money. But who allowed me to have two boats? I accept this loss. At least I will do it for you. It’s convenient, everyone can benefit, and everyone benefits.”

Ye Yaodong made such a clear calculation, and everyone understood better that they really had to share the extra income equally, not just a quarter.

"Then how can we guarantee how much money we will earn in those hours? How much will we pay?"

Father Pei frowned and listened to his analysis. Although he felt that what he said was reasonable, he felt that it could not be calculated so clearly.

"This is simple. You try it tomorrow and do the shipping yourself. Then try to switch to my ship the day after tomorrow to save time. Compare the extra money in the two days, and then maybe make a compromise."

"You have just come out. You can also learn how to sell the goods tomorrow."

"Anyway, we are sitting on this treasure land. We don't need to move much. There will basically be jellyfish floating around. When the flood season comes, it will not be much different from us, because the number is already large. If the number increases during the peak flood season, our daily catch will also be Right there.”

"The biggest difference is that people outside will earn more during high floods, and the contrast is more obvious. We are right in the trench, and the difference will not be too big between high and low floods."

"At most, the number of hauls in the evening will increase significantly, and we will earn a little more, but this is the collective benefit of everyone in our partnership, and it has nothing to do with my delivery."

Father Pei's brows relaxed instantly.

"You are so smart, your analysis is clear and logical, and you won't suffer any losses."

"Hey, when it comes to money, it's better for everyone to figure it out clearly. Talk it over in advance to avoid any problems in the future. This is also for the sake of happy cooperation. Being confused is not a good thing."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you and do what you say. Try it for a day. It's a win-win situation."

The calculation of Ye Yaodong's account at night gave me a headache. Every time I calculated the account, I got stuck. I didn't know how to calculate it so that the protagonist would not suffer a loss. It took me an hour or two to figure it out, and then I continued to write it, so I'm sorry for being late.
