Chapter 927 Negotiation
Ye Yaodong's smile deepened as he listened to the voice on the other end of the phone.
Ye Yaohua also wisely handed the phone to Ye Yaodong.
"Hey, which ancestor is it?"
"Little ancestor!"
A milky voice came from the phone, which immediately amused him.
Normally, he always said that the old lady was his ancestor and she was his little ancestor. Unexpectedly, this child still remembered it and suddenly said "little ancestor" to him!
He chuckled and said: "Oh, it turns out to be my little ancestor. My little ancestor is so powerful, can he make a phone call?"
She hummed heavily, but did not speak. Ye Yaodong only patiently coaxed his children through the phone. He also missed the children at home.
"Do you miss daddy?"
"Miss you daddy!"
This child's daily calls are a bit confusing. Dad is easier to call and talk to, but when other children call him daddy, she also calls daddy. Ever since she can speak, she often takes turns.
I don’t know if it’s because he often used the words “daddy” and “papa” when she couldn’t speak yet, and took turns teaching her to shout, so that she still yells there.
"Are you good? Are you obedient?"
"I am good, but my brother is not!"
"Oh, will you file a complaint?"
"Well, brother wants to be beaten!"
"Do you want a fight?"
"don't want!"
Ye Yaodong smiled lovingly and coaxed the child to talk and chatted with her on the phone, while Ye Chengyang's voice on the other end of the phone kept coming.
"Give it to me, give it to me, I want to answer the phone too..."
"You are not good. You chase chickens and dogs every day. The chickens tremble and hide when they see you. That's why you want to beat..."
"My wife said that chickens are so scared that they won't even lay eggs..."
Ye Xiaoxi still held the phone and retorted, "No, I feed it earthworms..."
Ye Yaodong was grinning as he listened to the two children arguing on the other end of the phone. Lin Xiuqing also took the phone away and stopped talking to them.
However, Ye Xiaoxi said loudly and unwillingly: "I still want the phone... I want my dad..."
The child was not willing to give in. After being placed on the ground, she stood on tiptoes and raised her hands to touch the table. She had to push the phone a little further inside.
Ye Yaodong only briefly told Lin Xiuqing about the remittance, but did not talk about any other maritime matters. Then he only asked about the situation at home and said wait a minute, it was raining today and there was no work.
"Ah, then it's not raining here."
"It should be because the rain hasn't reached your place yet. Don't dry the fish for the next few days. You can stop for two days to avoid it being your turn to rain."
"Okay."
Lin Xiuqing also told him that everything was going well at home and nothing had happened. After all, the village had suddenly become deserted with nearly a hundred young adults walking around.
There are fewer people sitting at the door to enjoy the coolness at night, and in the past few days, everyone likes to come to their beach and sit in front of the sister-in-law and chat. If her house had not been surrounded by a wall and had several dogs, she would probably sit at her house. Go to the door.
She told him a few more words, asking him to be careful outside, and then she said a few more words of concern. Amidst the sounds of children shouting on the phone next to them, the two of them said the same thing and hung up the phone.
A call never hung up from the first person to the last person.
However, none of them were short of a few yuan. The remittance fee alone was only 50 yuan each. Aguang was very smart and paid the phone bill directly.
The person present was either his father, his father-in-law, or his elder brother-in-law. Since he had the lowest status and had short hands, he must pay the bill.
"Where are we going now?"
"We're going back. Where else are we going on a rainy day?"
"Don't you want to go shopping?"
"There is nothing to visit. Many vendors did not open their stalls on rainy days. It is not lively at all. We also visited it last year."
"Then go back."
Aguang walked around during the day and had already visited all the places. He was not curious at all.
"We were able to remit all the money to one person just now, which also saved a hundred yuan in handling fees."
"Don't you think this is too confusing? Several ships have different partners, and the money is all remitted to one place. After the family receives it, it will be easy for us to get confused when the time comes to just settle the accounts. Each of them remits it to his own place. In the hands of family members, it becomes clear.”
"And the sum is too big. There are also women in the house. When I go to withdraw the money, I don't trust anyone who holds it. Whoever collects the money is responsible for it. No one can bear the responsibility for any mistakes. It's not Just remit today’s amount.”
"Anyway, I have made money. Next time I can save a little more and remit it in one lump sum. The cap is only 50 yuan. It will be counted among the public and everyone will share it equally. It's not much."
A Guang nodded, "That's right. There are only women in the family, so it's not appropriate for anyone to take it. It's fine that the other family takes the money."
"If they ask me to pay them later when they get home later, I can't do it just to help them save the remittance fee."
"See for yourself. If this is the case, the responsibilities you and Huimei bear are too big. One boat costs five to six hundred yuan a day. With more than a dozen boats, you have to remit thousands of dollars every day. Huimei has to go back and forth to the post and telecommunications office every day to get it. Money, and you must bear the daily remittance fees.”
50 a day, a thousand for 20 days in a month, one or two thousand for two months, which adds up to a lot.
Although he makes money from everyone's agency, he doesn't need to put so much profit into it.
It's very friendly if you settle on the spot. You get paid when you receive the goods, and you directly throw away the responsibility and let those people worry about themselves.
Father Pei also said: "You can tie them once every two or three days, and then we can tie them again when we go home."
"I know."
A few people were walking and chatting, and as the rain became heavier and heavier, they pulled over and walked under the eaves of other people's houses.
On a rainy day, it's so wet that you can't do anything, so it's just a good time to sleep.
After waiting home, not long after, other people came back one after another. Everything was deserted and there was really nothing to see.
A group of people returned to the rental house and started playing cards again out of boredom.
The same goes for Ye Yaodong.
After a while, it started to rain and the power went out. They lit candles and continued playing cards regardless of the rain or the power outage.
Power outages due to rain are a common occurrence and we are used to it at home, not to mention that we haven’t had electricity for a few years.
Others outside were not as lucky as them. They were drowned in the rain and could not find a house.
It wasn't until the evening that I asked around the entire neighborhood and found an elderly person willing to rent out their small house, but they had to wait until the rain stopped before they could move.
Those people had to go back to the boat first and put them in the nylon tent
It happened that the rain started to fall and didn't stop. Although there was a nylon bag to shelter from the rain for the time being, it would always come in. The plywood was wet everywhere. There was no way to lie down and sleep. I could only sit or sleep. Standing, it is inconvenient to do anything.
They persisted for only one day, but when they found out that the rain had not let up, they couldn't bear it the next afternoon, so everyone went to stay in a guest house.
As a result, their stay lasted another three days, so it was a good thing they stayed in a guest house. Otherwise, they might have had to sit and sleep on the boat for three or four days, and they might have gotten sick a few times.
As soon as the weather cleared up, they didn't care about fishing and hurried to solve the accommodation problem immediately, so as not to have to stay in a guest house if it rained again.
Chen Jianian didn't show up until it was time to receive the goods, and then he learned about what had happened in the past few days. As a result, he was complained and abused a lot.
However, Ye Yaodong and the others did not know that as soon as the weather cleared, they immediately seized the time to fish.
This incident bought them two more days.
After two days of hard fishing, the delivery time was deliberately postponed today. Moreover, after the weather cleared in the past two days, all the goods from the villagers were collected by A Guang.
Chen Jiannian didn't receive the goods on the first day, and on the second day it was reduced to only two fish boats he brought out. Ye Yaodong felt that he couldn't sit still, and his face was getting worse day by day.
I heard Aguang say that when he shared the money on the evening of the first day, he even said that he was immoral.
A Guang felt unhappy, so he directly told them that he had let two fishing boats follow them that day, which made him speechless, and he honestly didn't speak the next day.
However, he came out just to make money. Whether it was him or the two fishing boats he brought out, they would stop for two days at most. Seeing the huge income gap, they would definitely not be able to sit still.
Even if Chen Jianian stopped asking the two boats to follow them, within a few days, those people would definitely go to the dock early in the morning to block them.
He was able to fish for two more days and made two thousand yuan more than others, which was just so-so. Moreover, people in his village asked him where he caught it every day and why he had so much fish.
Sooner or later, he couldn't hide it. Now he told Chen Jianian in advance that he had the initiative, and he could directly offset the favor, and at the same time, let the villagers remember his favor.
Therefore, when they finished selling the goods in the evening, Ye Yaodong sent the boatmen back first. After Aguang reluctantly divided the money with Chen Jianian, he publicly explained the matter to Chen Jianian.
"Now everyone has thoughts in their hearts. No matter how we work together, there will still be knots. You also asked people to follow us, which also makes us uncomfortable."
"We are here just to make money, and we can make money by being friendly. If we break up, it won't do us any good. There is no need to be jealous."
"So let's discuss it peacefully. I'll tell you the fishing spots so that you can earn more agency fees from your fishing boats. It's none of my business how many boats you want to bring over next year."
"Correspondingly, Aguang won't share half of your agency fee. He originally found the relationship and I brought out the villagers. He also saw that it was you who notified me of this trip. Remember. With this love."
"Now I will tell you the fishing location and share it with you. How about repaying the love? After all, this fishing location is also long-term. One love for another love. Everyone does his or her own thing without interfering with each other."
Chen Jianian was silent for a while and didn't speak for a long time.
Probably thinking.
Aguang didn't speak either.
I’m too sleepy, so I’ll update 3,000 words first, and I’ll update the remaining 4,000 words tomorrow. Good night.
