Chapter 924 Win-Win (7000 Words)

Father Ye was relieved when he heard that the two of them had settled the accounts clearly. He was afraid that a dispute would break out and the friendship would be hurt. After all, they were all his own people.

Ye Yaopeng, Ye Yaohua, and Aguang listened to Ye Yaodong's rational settlement of accounts. They did not give in because they were elders. They were also convinced, and they settled the accounts clearly and clearly.

Originally, they were a little confused at first, and it felt good to be able to get half a share. After all, he had to make a trip anyway, and they only had one share of the big ship. Being able to get half a share was already enough in their opinion. Very good.

I didn't expect that Dongzi could calculate the accounts like that, and he really convinced everyone, and he really didn't suffer any losses.

"Dongzi, you are so smart! I was confused at first, and I felt that half a share was quite a lot. After doing the math for you, I suddenly became enlightened."

Aguang also instantly understood the gap between the two. Dongzi was smart and smarter than him. He was just a little lazy before.

"This isn't called shrewdness, it's called fairness. It's hard to guarantee the extra fishing time the day after tomorrow. After the catch is divided in half, it may not be more than half a share?"

"Oh, please stop talking. I can't wrap my head around what you're saying. I'm so dizzy. Anyway, now that you and my father have figured it out, it'll be fine."

"I told you to read the newspaper when you have something to do, but you didn't listen."

"What does this have to do with reading a newspaper?"

"Read more newspapers, become more educated, fill your mind with more things, and of course you will know more, and you will naturally appear smarter. You use it to wipe your butt every day, how far is your intestines from your head, and how close are your eyes."

"How did you describe the Marler Desert..."

"Snapped!"

A Guang was hit hard on the head by his father and was instantly stunned.

"How did you talk?"

"How old am I and you still hit me on the head."

"You will be my son no matter how old you are."

Fortunately, Pei's father was about the same height as A Guang and could reach him, unlike his father who couldn't reach him.

His damn perfect height made his father look up and look up at him.

Ye Yaodong secretly glanced at his father, feeling secretly happy in his heart. He also wondered whether he should raise another lactating ewe when he returned home.

It would also help the kids in the family grow taller, and the old man should take extra nutrition. He has been eating malted milk for a whole year, which is quite expensive. He needs three or four cans a month. The old lady is still reluctant to drink it every day and never drinks it. They all lied to them about drinking.

It's better to raise a ewe, which is more cost-effective and nutritious, and you won't be reluctant to part with it.

When he was young, the old lady secretly milked a goat to feed him. When he got old, he bought a goat and fed it back to him.

If you can't wait for the milk to come out, you can just kill the whole family for meat and buy another one to produce milk. It won't be a loss at all!

It can drink milk and eat meat.

Aguang glared at his father and went back to the cabin, feeling quite humiliated.

Father Pei didn't care about him.

Ye Yaodong was envious. There were beds on the Harvest to sleep on, which was convenient. A Guang wouldn't have to be woken up by the sun so early tomorrow.

Father Ye said with a smile: "Then you just have to discuss it clearly. Everyone is here. Let's make it clear. Let's test it in the next two days. No one will suffer from the extra half. It's fair. Let's treat it as a fixed price. The transportation fee is paid, and there is no need to change it. If you earn more or less, you won’t let outsiders earn it.”

Father Pei also smiled and nodded, "We all discovered that trench together last year. I won't tell anyone about it. We can just find it with the same team as last year. It's not good for us to tell others. Anyway, everyone will take it with them." Come out and let them catch them."

"The flood season of jellyfish is much longer than that of squid, which is enough for them to earn, and the number will increase every day."

Father Ye also looked at the people on the other boats. At this point, they all got on the boat and got ready to sleep.

After finishing their work one by one, I wanted to know how much they earned today. After all, they only came back with two boats, and the two boats worked all day.

As a result, they all got on the boat to talk things over, so everyone had to give up and go to bed.

He nodded, "I didn't intend to let anyone else know. It's fine for us to know. Don't let the rich water flow to others. We can cover it up as long as we can. It's all money."

"You have to be careful not to let anyone follow you. No one noticed that you have so many goods today, but if it continues for a few days, they will know."

"It's just a matter of making a splash in the east and west. In a few days, the number will gradually increase, and then it won't be noticeable. We are now almost in the peak flood season every day, and they have not yet entered the peak flood season. When the peak flood season comes, there will be a natural gap between us. It will also be smaller." Ye Yaodong said.

"Well, we can only count on these two flood seasons in a year."

Everyone’s faces were filled with smiles and they all looked forward to bringing in excess profits.

"Let's go back to bed first. Don't be too late. Get up early tomorrow morning and check on the receipt of several net bags."

"Okay, go to bed early, everyone on the other boats seems to be asleep."

"You should go to bed early, you are tired after a long day's journey."

"No, there is one more thing I forgot to mention." Father Pei grabbed the four father and son who were about to disembark. "I came back yesterday. The Harvest trip lasted for 7 and a half days. The harvest was very good, but the bills and money were all gone. I left it at home, and I don’t feel comfortable keeping it with me..."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "It's okay. We'll settle the accounts together when we catch the jellyfish and go home. We can't carry that much money with us when we go out."

"That's what I think too. I'll figure it out when I get back."

"Then I'll leave first."

Father Pei nodded.

At dawn the next morning, everyone got up and checked their net bags. Ye Yaodong took his clothes and covered his head. He wanted to sleep for a while, but the movement and noise around him couldn't stop him at all. People fall asleep.

He closed his eyes and glanced outside at the horizon. The sun had just jumped out of the sea level, and the sky was filled with red light. It was still early before it was high in the sky. These people were working too hard...

Don't you want to sleep?

He was motionless.

But if he didn't move, his father wouldn't know if he should go into the water too and collect his net bag to take a look.

Everyone on the boat got up, lying on the edge of the boat and watching everyone on the sea go into the water and collect their nets. Some were overjoyed, and some were shouting that there were two, four, and six.

"Dongzi, Dongzi, wake up Dongzi."

Ye Yaodong kicked his legs and straightened them up, then took off the clothes covering his head, sighed in his heart, and got up resignedly.

"Collect it, collect it. Everyone has collected it. You can also go down and collect it. Collect it and see how much it is. Cut what needs to be cut and cook the rice. If the net is empty, then there is no need to collect it."

"There's really no need to get up so early tomorrow..."

Father Ye immediately turned around and retorted, "Of course I have to get up early and finish all the work. After eating, I can go out to sea to fish. We will dock at 9 o'clock to collect the first wave. The return trip will take an hour. What can we do if we don't get up early?" ?”

"Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say is whatever you want."

The fresh water resources on the ship were in short supply, and Ye Yaodong did not have the luxury of washing his face. After brushing his teeth, he continued to lie on the edge of the ship and watch his boatman close the net.

However, the number seems to be small. I only saw two nets brought in and dumped on the beach. There were 11 large and small ones in total.

Ye Yaodong also climbed out of the boat, "Are there no other net bags?"

"There are only one or two other net bags in it. We plan to take the basket out directly to collect it. This will save us from having to put the net in and take it out again later."

"That's okay too."

Some people on the beach were happy, while others shook their heads with regret.

But in general it is still feasible. If you are unlucky today, you may have better luck tomorrow. When the flood season comes and the number increases, there should be no air force by then, and it will be considerable.

Just as they were dividing, some people came over to take a look with their rice bowls in hand.

"How many did you catch today? How many kilograms?"

"About fifteen or sixteen, only about 500 pounds. He's not that big today."

"That's good too."

"It's so-so. After a few days, there should be more."

"How much did you sell them for yesterday? You brothers all have four boats. You should sell more. You only need to get one boat back..."

Ye Yaodong did not answer directly, but said to him, "If you have brothers or close friends, you can also fish together to take care of each other, and then take turns delivering goods to the shore, or you can simply work together to catch fish during the flood season, which will be more efficient. high."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was instantly moved.

If you can save the time to dock, you can definitely catch a lot more.

Although no one saw how much Father Ye sold for yesterday?

But even though the cargo in the ship was covered with things, they all took a rough look. Although it was four shiploads in total, the quantity was beyond their imagination.

Anyway, everyone attributes the reason why the Ye Yaodong brothers caught so much yesterday to saving time on the round trip.

The reason why Ye Yaodong didn't say that their three boats took turns yesterday was because he felt that his eldest and second brothers were not so reassuring and they were too honest.

Not to mention that he was worried, his father and Uncle Pei probably weren't worried about leaving so many goods to them to sell.

As for taking turns with the Harvest, Uncle Pei most likely wanted to stay and fish by himself. After all, he had two boats and he was going back and forth.

Moreover, large ships have a lot of cargo, and traveling back and forth consumes more fuel than their trawlers. However, fishing near the trench does not require much movement, which saves fuel.

According to normal estimates, diesel costs RMB 6.7, and the fuel consumption of 20 liters per hour is RMB 13.5. There are four round trips every day, and each trip basically takes an hour. The cost of gas alone is more than RMB 50.

Not to mention how much less time it takes to catch a round trip, the fuel consumption for the round trip alone is more than 50.

By giving him half of the extra catch in the past few hours, Uncle Pei not only earned half of the goods, but also saved more than 50 yuan in round-trip gas expenses.

Anyway, I’ll give it a try in the next two days and see how much more I can catch, but I haven’t decided yet.

Anyway, he was happy to help Uncle Pei sell goods at the shore. After all, with Uncle Pei's goods at the shore, his father could sell the goods to A Guang as a matter of course. He could save half of the agency fee, otherwise he would have to give priority to selling. To Chen Jiannian.

Helping deliver goods is good for him, good for Uncle Pei, and good for everyone. It depends on how much compensation is given to him for the delivery.

Yesterday I said that I would give him half a share, which was really stupid!

Although it was a bit troublesome for him to make this proposal, and it would take two days of fishing for comparison, he also wanted to show how outrageous the half share of net profit that Pei's father said at the beginning was.

People who are not sophisticated enough, like his eldest and second brothers, may be fooled into working as porters for free. The net profit of half a share is only 20 yuan, which is probably only enough gas money for four round trips. .

I have to say, they are all smart people.

After everyone heard Ye Yaodong's suggestion, they no longer worried about how much money they earned yesterday?

If we form a partnership, having one boat can increase efficiency, and we can fish for a few more hours every day, which will be very impressive in a month, and everyone is excited.

Everyone is now asking each other whether they should join forces to fish together or take turns to transport the goods. It is estimated that even brothers who are not real brothers will not be relieved if they take turns to transport the goods. Who knows whether the goods will be stolen.

You don’t have to worry about fishing together. Anyway, the accounts are settled according to the cargo order, and each worker is responsible for it.

Ye Yaodong threw a bomb to them and ignored it. He asked them to put the pickled jellyfish on the boat and eat quickly.

It was already 6 o'clock after a casual day's work, and they had to prepare to go fishing.

After the others talked with each other, they also prepared to form a team to fish together in twos and threes.

Ah Zheng and Xiao Xiao undoubtedly got together again, preparing to join forces to fish together.

Ye Yaodong heard them as soon as he passed by them. He patted them on the shoulders twice, shouted to leave, and walked away himself.

Ah Zheng was still shouting from behind, "Dongzi, why are you so smart?"

"It's you who are stupid."

He just happened to have two boats at hand, otherwise he would have been going back and forth honestly last year.

The sky was bright and sunny, and the sun was shining brightly, but it was not directly exposed to the sun, and the sea breeze was quite cool.

Their four boats plus Pei's father's boat, five boats left the shore one after another.

Others were lagging behind because they were talking about partnership, but they found someone they knew well and hit it off immediately. After chatting, they also hurriedly drove the boat out.

Just in case, as soon as they drove out, they each found a direction to drive out, and then headed halfway towards the trench.

After a whole day of fishing, the Harvest was actually not much better than their trawler. The number of crew members on their boats was about the same, and the catches were actually about the same, and they were all fished manually.

Those farther away either use long bamboo poles sharpened to cross the sea, or use iron hooks to hook them. Anyway, as long as they poke the jellyfish, they can be caught.

For those that are closer, just use a hand-made net to catch them directly.

The Harvest's advantage is not here. Its biggest advantage is the net it casts on its return trip in the evening. The number in the net is two or three times that of their trawlers.

Of course, they couldn't be pulled up, because they were too heavy, so they had to be dragged close to the front and back, and the workers were asked to go into the water one by one to cover them with hand nets and drag them to the shore for slaughtering.

Everyone on the island saw the Harvest's catch for the first time, and everyone was stunned.

Just looking at the large area behind the butt of the Harvest, which was covered by a fishing net, with floating jellyfish, if you didn’t look at the fishing net, you would have thought it was a swarm of jellyfish floating over.

In addition, several of their other boats also came back one after another at about the same time, and they saw a large area of ​​jellyfish floating in the sea not far from each other, mostly covered by fishing nets.

"How many kilograms does this net weigh?"

"At least four to five thousand pounds, right?"

"I'm kidding, it's more than that. A boat with four or five thousand kilograms can directly hoist the net. Once it's on the boat, it must be seven or eight thousand kilograms."

"My dear, this net will soon catch more than I can catch in a whole day..."

"Where can we catch so many fish? We just came back, and we only dragged back twenty or thirty fish, big and small, in the fishing net, which only weighs a thousand pounds."

"Big boats are easier to tow."

There was basically no big difference in the time when their dozens of ships docked. They all came back one after another. Everyone calculated the time to dock, so although Ye Yaodong and the others had a lot of cargo, they didn't associate them with each other. Come together.

The net that Ye Yaodong and the others brought back was estimated by visual inspection to be around three thousand kilograms. It was really not as good as the Harvest. His two boats combined could probably equal the quantity of the Harvest.

When they lowered the net and dragged it, they did not dare to get too close to the trench, for fear that there would be too many nets and they would not be able to drag them...

Envy, it’s better to have a bigger ship, the gap will appear immediately.

"Forget it, forget it, there's no comparison. Their boats are bigger and more powerful. Of course, they consume more fuel and have to tow more..."

"I'm busy doing my own thing, and half of the water is still on the sea and I haven't pulled it up yet..."

"I'm just a worker. I haven't finished my work yet. I just keep working..."

Each of them muttered a few words, shook their heads, and went about their own work.

Most of them are boatmen, and they don’t have anything to say. Anyway, they are just working part-time. They haven’t finished the work at hand yet, so they can’t care how many pounds others have dragged. It’s better to have less work for themselves, and they have less to do.

Everyone is seizing the time to do their own work, hoping to divide it up and sell it for money as soon as possible.

However, the amount of the Fengshenghao network was too much, and they were stuck in time to come back. When it was time to divide it, the time was tight, and the time reserved was not enough for them to divide the seven or eight thousand kilograms.

After the other fishing boats finished their work, they took the time to run to the town.

Ye Yaodong quickly asked half of the workers on his side and his eldest and second brothers to go out to help.

The most important thing is to get into the water and drag the jellyfish to the shore one by one. The process of dividing them is fast, but it is slower to fish them out one by one.

Fortunately, they worked together to handle all the jellyfish from the Harvest and put them on board.

The same goes for the next day.

Fortunately, they all have shares in the Harvest, and they are all members of the in-laws' family, so they should get their fair share of moving around.

However, after the dried jellyfish blood was sold out the next day, comparing the two days, the sales on the day with Ye Yaodong helping to transport it were over 200 more.

The Harvest's fishing progress is actually not much different from their fishing boats. Only the catch hauled back in the evening will be larger than theirs.

As for the goods obtained with the extra time, the jellyfish blood is actually more valuable and accounts for a larger proportion when sold.

In general, one Harvest boat could not match the catch of Ye Yaodong's two boats, but it was only a little bit behind. After all, Ye Yaodong's boat had to be used for transportation.

But after comparison, they also agreed that as long as there was transportation, Pei's father would give him a transportation subsidy of 100 yuan a day.

For Pei's father, as long as he did not return to Hong Kong, the gas money he saved was a profit. If he really had to make a trip by himself, the loss would be 200 yuan plus fifty or sixty yuan in gas money.

Comparing this, it is equivalent to Pei's father earning 156, and Ye Yaodong earning less than 100. Four trips back and forth, deducting gas expenses, can earn at most 80. However, there is no need to calculate so carefully. This is probably enough. This is enough. clearly.

Later, with the advent of the peak flood season and the increase in fishing volume, the transportation fee was still calculated at 100 yuan. It was a fixed calculation to save trouble. Anyway, he had three-thirds of what the Harvest earned.

Generally speaking, they are both satisfied and it is a win-win situation.

After fishing for several days in a row, everyone noticed deeply that their harvest seemed to be more than everyone expected every time?

The Harvest is a big ship, and everyone thinks that it is normal to catch a lot, but Ye Yaodong and his three brothers also caught too much, right?

"Where have you been fishing these past few days? Which sea area have you been fishing in? Why do you seem to have so many products every day?"

Ye Yaodong chuckled and said, "You are mistaken. In fact, it is not much more than you. My father sells not just one boat of goods every day at the shore, but the amount of two of my boats, plus Uncle Pei's big boat." amount."

"We have three ships carrying the goods, and one ship brings them to the shore. Doesn't that mean there is a lot of cargo on board?"

Thinking about it, it seems right.

"That's right. You only have one ship to send back, which is equivalent to two more ships fishing together? Then the next trip will definitely have more cargo."

Others nodded.

"Yes, that's the reason. When everyone returns, we have two boats fishing there at the same time. If we fish it out, won't there be more cargo for the next trip?"

"So how much can you sell every day these days?"

"Can this be said? What we sell every day has been deposited by Aguang at the post office. It's not safe to keep the money around. If you can send it back sooner, just take it and remit it as soon as possible."

There are so many people who carelessly talk about how much they earn and sincerely want others to make them rich.

It is safest to have no money around you. Don't use money to test the hearts of people around you.

"You have to make a wire transfer, but the post and telecommunications office's handling fee is too high. They charge 1%. How can I afford it?"

"Yes...it's too expensive..."

"If you don't want to part with the interest on the wire transfer, you can save it and keep it there. When we go back, we can take out a large sum and keep it there. There may be interest on it for us."

"If I save it, will it be easy to withdraw it when the time comes? Will I refuse to acknowledge the debt and not give it to me?"

"I think it's better to keep it with you, or send it back directly. It feels unreliable to store it in the post and telecommunications office. What if they don't recognize it? Our hard-earned money will be wasted."

"Probably not..."

"No, just get the deposit slip yourself."

"Go and ask tomorrow."

Ye Yaodong turned the topic to them about bank remittances, so that everyone should stop worrying about the problem that they caught more fish.

Anyway, in recent days, there have been a lot more jellyfish floating on the sea, and there are more and more jellyfish floating on the sea day by day.

The amount of fish caught by everyone can be known from their conversations during meals every day. They are also catching more and more every day.

As for the jellyfish in their trench, more and more jellyfish are popping up, like mushrooms after a rain. Their fishing boat has been slowly moving out from the position inside the bend on the first day, and today it can't even enter the bend. The truth is spoken.

The jellyfish inside are really too dense. At a glance, they are not much different from the first time they discovered them last year. They are completely the source, and fishing boats can catch them first at the outermost edge.

It's not as shocking as last year, because it has been increasing day by day in the past few days, and I'm used to it.

However, their catch did not increase much, just a little, because the area where they got along was already equivalent to a high flood season from the beginning.

When the number of floating boats on the sea increases in the past few days, the gap between them and other fishing boats will be much smaller, and they will not be so conspicuous.

Now that the fooling around is over, no one will ask again in two days.

The money Ye Yaodong has sold these days is actually in his hands, which is already several thousand. The two boats are making money really fast, which is not comparable to last year.

He was also reluctant to pay the handling fee for remittance, and was also thinking about saving it and taking it out when he went back. This would save a lot of handling fees, or he could save half of it and keep half in his hand.

It's not safe to leave A Guang there. It can be said to be more dangerous. He is alone on the dock and has so much money coming in and out every day. It is easy for someone to see him.

If someone catches them all, who will he ask for?

In the past two days, he has been reminding A Guang to save money every day, and just keep a few yuan with him at most. If he is targeted, he will only lose a few yuan, and at most he will get beaten.

He was told not to leave the crowd, not to be alone, and to get acquainted with the owners of several nearby shops. If anything happened, they could still call the police for help.

Aguang was also affected by what he said, and knew that what he said was very likely to happen, so he always maintained a high degree of vigilance, but he never had any problems.

Ye Yaodong also noticed in the past two days that there were many more boats fishing for jellyfish than last year. You can see it from the dock. In these two days, the number of trawlers has more than doubled compared to the first day they arrived.

I don’t know where they came from. There were more than a dozen of them, but there weren’t many small wooden boats. Maybe they came from afar after hearing the news.

I heard from A Guang that there are jellyfish sellers coming and going from morning to night every day on the pier. Even fish is rarely available recently, and there are no fishing boats. Everyone is fishing for jellyfish.

"Dongzi, I think the man who has been raising people for a few days is almost healed. Should we ask? Give him two or three yuan for travel expenses and let him go back directly? He probably won't be able to speak, so he doesn't dare to Squeak."

Father Ye actually thought that this man might just want to stay on their ship and eat and drink for free. After all, they didn't ask him to work.

Today, I saw him standing on the boat and walking around freely, coming and going, just watching them catch and divide the fish. He didn't say anything about helping with some work or saying that he would go home after his injury.

It looks a bit annoying.

"I'll go and ask him what his plans are."

Ye Yaodong also saw that he had been very active in the past two days, but he was too busy to care about it. This man was actually very calm and did not say that he wanted to leave.

I don’t know what the plan is?
