Chapter 946 Planning and Arrangement (7000 Words)
Poor and humble couples are sad in everything, rich and wealthy people are happy in everything, rich people are happy in everything, and rich people are prosperous in everything.
After getting rich, the spirit of the whole family is different.
The old lady's face was also glowing, and she felt much younger these past two days.
After the meal, she not only put on new leather shoes, but also brushed her dentures and put them back into her mouth, put on her reading glasses, and put on the silk scarf that Ye Yaodong bought her last year.
Even though the weather was still very hot and she was still wearing short-sleeves, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with her. She was extremely satisfied when she looked in the mirror.
Then with a smile on his face, he happily leaned on his cane and got ready to go out for a walk.
Ye Yaodong was sitting at the door with his legs crossed to enjoy the cool air. When he saw her coming out with a happy face and a new look, he was puzzled.
"Where are you going? Visiting relatives?"
"I want to go for a walk!"
He chuckled. It turned out that what the old lady said before the meal was serious.
"Then be careful, walk slowly, and come back when it gets dark."
"Hey, I know, I'll be back after taking a walk."
"When you come back later, if you see any children at home, let a few of them take you back."
"I know, I know."
The children in the family are still popular even without the toys that can make them stand out. After all, they are the king of children who once had toys that others did not have. There is still an endless stream of children coming to play with them after dinner.
But everyone had just received a beating, and the wind was blowing hard. They were afraid of getting into trouble again, so they didn't dare to make any noise in front of the house anymore, so they wisely took their friends to play farther away.
Except of course Ye Chenghe.
He was beaten so badly that he was forced to limp to school today. He was afraid of being laughed at by his friends at night, so he didn't go anywhere.
Ye Yaodong sat at the door enjoying the cool air and thinking about it. The shop still had to wait for news, but the day after tomorrow during the Mid-Autumn Festival, most people outside would rush home to celebrate the festival. If it was quick, he should be able to contact the person who wanted to sell the shop after the festival.
He thought, if no one sells at No. 2, he can buy as many as he can at No. 3, and he won't lose money anyway.
Then the store at Gate 2 that he uses as a warehouse can be moved to Gate 3. The store around Gate 2 is more popular for rent.
If the land becomes easier to buy and sell in a few years, he will then buy a piece of land nearby, and he will not touch some of the collective assets, lest the current laws are not perfect and there will be disputes and troubles in the future.
However, he is going to the province to repair his motorcycle after the holiday, and he has to wait until he comes back before going to the market to finalize the deal.
If he goes to the provincial capital, he can also stroll around the streets of this era to see how the province has developed and walk around.
Forget about buying a house. He is new here and is not familiar with the surrounding environment and knows no one. There are few people selling houses these days and there are no real estate agents. He relies entirely on asking around. Maybe the locals will think he is a liar and ignore him. No one cares.
And no one guarantees it. If someone wants to sell it, they probably won’t dare to sell it to a stranger with a foreign accent like him.
It's fine if you buy it locally, after all, they all have the same accent, but the value of buying it in their county is not great. When it develops in a few decades, it is better to use it to buy boats and shops to get back the investment faster.
After thinking about it for a while, he still thought it would be better to buy a store in the market. After all, the prospects of the aquatic product wholesale market were there, and this was something he was familiar with.
As for the house, it won't be too late to wait until after 1990. Don't worry. He only has tens of thousands of dollars in hand. Take your time. Don't be too ambitious first. The most important thing is to make money.
After figuring out what to do, he thought about taking time to go to the shipyard tomorrow and order a few ships. If the delivery date was later, it would be later. It didn't matter.
Thinking of the delivery date, he suddenly slapped his thigh.
"That's right, I can order a few boats from him first, occupy the delivery date, and let the factory build my boats next year and the year after that, occupying the production quota!"
"In this way, if villagers in nearby villages and towns want to order boats, they can wait in the queue, so that there will be fewer boats to catch jellyfish next year? Or they can only go to other counties and find shipyards, or go to the city, which is probably no good. "
"I'm so smart!"
He immediately got up and went to tell Ah Qing about his plan. It wouldn't hurt to buy a few more boats anyway.
Lin Xiuqing thought that her family had so much money on hand now, so she didn't object. This was also a fixed asset. In addition to generating money, it could be liquidated at any time.
"Are you sure how many boats you want to book? If you're sure, we'll go tomorrow. Otherwise, after the festival, the folks will probably book a boat just to catch jellyfish."
"There has been a lot of discussion in the village in the past two days, especially that your friend Azheng bought a boat just in time to catch jellyfish. People who originally wanted to buy a boat have already regretted it. They said it early I knew he was serious enough to take a look at it. Everyone said he was so lucky."
"I'm thinking of booking 7 more boats to make up 10 boats with the three boats I have at home. What do you think?"
"Ah! So many?"
"It's only 20,000 yuan. With the calculation from my father-in-law today, we now have 80,000 yuan, right? Spending 20,000 yuan is not a lot. It will be repaid in a few years, and the ship will be returned." Prices will go up.”
Lin Xiuqing thought about it, "Does it have to be similar to the trawler at home?"
"Well, sixteen or seventeen meters is enough."
"Then when we return to the room later, let's calculate the money at home first. Don't we still need to buy a shop?"
"The store will wait until I come back from the province. Didn't we also leave the village phone number and my name on the red paper posted at the door of our store today? If someone really calls, you answer the call and make an appointment with them first. time."
"That's okay, but I don't know if the price will go up if it is resold."
"Look, it was 3,000 yuan a piece before, and it seems like 3,500 yuan a piece later. It's not expensive at all."
"How many should we buy?"
Ye Yaodong glanced at her and asked, "How many do you want to buy?"
Lin Xiuqing was hesitant and unsure, "If it's still 3,500 yuan each, how about we buy five? In this case, it's less than 20,000 yuan. After deducting the money for the ship and the money for the store, we still have money in our hands. With half left, maybe 40,000 yuan can be left? How about that?"
He flicked her forehead affectionately, "My dear wife, you seem to have forgotten that if we order a fishing boat, we only need to pay a deposit, half at most, and next year and the year after, we will only have cash in hand. There will be more and more, the final payment is trivial.”
"Our workshop cooperates with market stores to ship goods, so there will be a steady stream of money coming in. Based on the current income, it is almost equivalent to earning one store a month."
"In addition, the fish sauce will be fermented in a few months. If we start selling it on New Year's Day, dozens of tons can be converted into a lot of money."
"If this sells well, it will also be a production line. After the big ship is acquired at the end of the year, there will only be more and more dry goods and fish sauce."
"Yes, we need to expand that workshop and build another one specifically for making fish sauce..."
"Wait, wait..." Lin Xiuqing was a little confused by his jumping thoughts.
"Let's talk about the store first, then you mean to buy a few more?"
"What I mean is how many stores are selling them at Gate 3. If the prices are not much different, buy them all! I guess there won't be many. If they are sold at Gate 4, you can just buy a few to make up the number."
"Isn't it said that Gate No. 4 faces toward the rear and is the entrance for stall owners inside?"
"What's going on with the goods entrance? There are a lot of people queuing up early in the morning waiting for the market to open. I can't say anything else. Isn't it easy to make money selling breakfast?"
"That seems to be the case."
"So let's decide on the store first. The location is decent, and we can buy as much as we can."
Lin Xiuqing had no objection to what he told him. They did have a lot of money.
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about the shop, let's talk about buying land to build a fish sauce workshop?"
"Do we really want to buy another land to build a fish sauce workshop? Is it too early? Our fish sauce hasn't fermented yet, and we haven't started selling it yet. We don't know if it will sell well. Otherwise, we have to wait? We'll see next year. If it sells well, let’s buy another piece of land and build a special fish sauce workshop, instead of an open-air one?”
"It won't be bad. Didn't you try it this year? Last year, my mother took the fermented ones to the city and they were sold out within a few days. There were also people asking about it, but they were all gone."
"While we have money and land now, we should buy it and build it in advance. When we get our own ship, our production capacity will definitely increase and we can connect it."
"Although fish sauce does not account for a large proportion in the open space over there now, if the Harvest goes out to sea in a few days and continues until the Chinese New Year, it is estimated that it will occupy one-third of the workshop. We still have to build a special fish workshop in advance. The dew workshop is just for stacking fish sauce, and it can also be used as a warehouse after fermentation."
Lin Xiuqing heard what he said was clear and logical. Although she agreed in her heart, she also had her own concerns.
"All the land in the village is a collective asset. We have already bought one piece. At first, everyone didn't know if we could make money and didn't say anything. Now if we buy another piece and use it for personal production and profit, will the villagers have opinions?"
"No, most of the people have followed me to fish for jellyfish this year. Next year, everyone is still hoping to continue to make more money. They have to apologize when they see me. There will be no objections. Neither will the village committee. Opinion, I just made a donation to Thean Hou Temple yesterday, which gave them a good reputation outside."
Makes sense!
"Okay, then you can just go to the village committee member to apply for a piece of land tomorrow morning. After that, go to the county to book a boat, and then go to the province after the festival the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, that's it."
He happily held Lin Xiuqing's face and kissed her heavily.
His mind, which was originally a little hazy, suddenly became clear after communicating with his wife.
Under the impact of a large amount of money, his somewhat swollen heart returned to its original position. As he talked, his mind became clearer and he had several directions for development.
That scholarship was considered a squandering after his expansion. He just made a lot of money and came back. His mother talked about the child dropping out of school. He felt it was a pity, and he also wanted to earn fame and accumulate virtue.
But there is no need to regret this, it is a good thing after all.
If he continues to earn money next year, he will continue to donate it to Mazu.
Lin Xiuqing smiled and patted him, then glanced at the door, fearing that others would see her, "Don't just kiss outside."
"It's not outside, isn't it at home?"
"Outside the room is outside."
"What are you afraid of? I'm not trying to be a hooligan."
Ye Yaodong put his arm on her shoulder and went into the room, "If the room is available, then let's go to the room..."
Lin Xiuqing was hugged by him and followed him into the house. "I've just finished my work. Let's go back to the house to do some math while the children are out."
"Well, let you experience what it means to count money until your hands cramp."
"For 80,000 yuan, it's really possible that my hands will cramp up from counting the money."
"Shh, keep your voice down."
"You just said it."
"That's why I told you to keep your voice down."
With such double standards, Lin Xiuqing glared at him, asked him to lock the door, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find out all the money in the house.
Ye Yaodong watched her keep moving the jars, and he went back and forth to pick them up several times.
"How many pennies are there? How many jars are there?"
"Isn't that right? The change is basically given to me by my father. I have accumulated so much in this whole year. When A Cai and I settle accounts, we can't hold these jars of change and count them, right? They are all taken from We went to settle the bill together. I can’t even spend a few cents of this much change in a day, but isn’t it all left there?”
Ye Yaodong fainted.
"Then how long will this last? Why are you still picking up rags, picking up so many cans and putting them back?"
"Put this aside for now. Let's count the big ones first. Fortunately, you sent them back and I went to the bank to get them. They were all given to me. Otherwise, my hands would get cramped and I wouldn't be able to finish counting them all night long."
"Next time you take the time to take it to the bank to change it, and bring a can there every few days. There are so many two-cent ones, which take up too much space, and it's troublesome to count them."
"Okay, I'll take a look at it later."
Ye Yaodong originally put these jars of one minute, two points and five points on the bed, intending to pour them out and count them. Later, when he saw that there were so many, he put them directly on the table. They took up too much space and he had no desire to count them.
It's better to keep it for his wife to take to the bank and count slowly when she has nothing to do during the day.
His eyes lit up when Lin Xiuqing took out a large bag of money wrapped in newspapers.
"Is all the money here?"
"Yes, in fact, I have already counted the big unity pieces. For every hundred big unity pieces, I tied them with rubber bands. For those pieces that cost one, two, five, or more, I also tied them with rubber bands for every hundred pieces. Just one cent. I didn’t deliberately count the two-cent cents, I just sorted them into bundles. If I had to count them, it would actually be faster, but coins would be more troublesome.”
"I won't count the coins anymore. You can take them back later. Just count them again when you take them to the bank to exchange them. The big ones are on these banknotes, so just count them."
There is no need to know too precisely, just have an idea of how many there are.
Those rich people may not even know how much money they have.
"also."
Lin Xiuqing climbed onto the bed holding the large bag of money, and Ye Yaodong climbed up too.
The couple happily stretched out their paws to the piles of unity, and then counted five pieces, two pieces, one piece, from high to low.
Then there are the cents, which need to be counted slowly.
After waiting for half an hour, Lin Xiuqing twisted her neck and said, "Our previous estimate was correct. There are more than 78,200 coins here, and the more than thirty jars of coins only cost a few hundred yuan."
"That's not yet 80,000, but it's not much different."
"Well, it's all here."
"Put it away first, just know it well."
The two of them neatly coded the calculated money and wrapped it in newspapers.
"Originally, I wanted to ask you to nail a larger wooden box and then nail it to the cabinet in the next two days. It seems that it is not necessary now. Most of it will be done soon."
"Don't feel bad, I'll change it to a contract for you in a few days, so it's easier to store."
Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "Fortunately, this is a new house and there are no mice."
"Speaking of the house, the second brother used to think about building an extra layer with bricks at the end of the year. Now that he has made money, he probably wants to build it even more. I was worried that the eldest brother and sister-in-law would not agree, but now the eldest brother has also made a lot of money. With the money, construction should start before the end of the year.”
"Are you going to add a cover again?"
"It's not enough to live in. Didn't you see that except for the youngest of their children, the first two are already in their teens. It's not convenient for a boy and a girl to live in the same house. If there are no conditions, then we can only make do with it. There is no need to say, if there are conditions Then we definitely have to separate.”
"Then we have to build the building together. After all, our three rooms are side by side."
"Well, of course we will build it together, but we are not in a hurry. We will just wait and see when they tell us."
This is what he promised his second brother before.
"Well, everything we talk about tonight costs money."
"What do you mean by spending money? This is investment to make money and improve your family's life."
"Only you can talk."
"I'm not mute, of course I can speak."
"Go, go, go out and see your precious daughter. She went to play with her two brothers and brought her back. She is still young. It's not good to stay outside when it gets dark."
There is a superstitious saying that you should not take children who are too young out after dark.
"I'm going out to look for it, and I'm looking for the old lady by the way. I haven't seen her come back for so long."
"I went out to show off and couldn't bear to come back."
He chuckled and walked out with his flip flops.
The old lady walked to her hometown and rested at the door because she was tired.
Ye Xiaoxi's conspicuous bag had just been found by Ye Yaodong on the roadside. Now he dragged the baby and ran to hold the old lady's hand to take her home.
"You two, one old and one young, have only ten teeth in total, and you don't know who is holding onto whom."
"Let's hold them together," the old lady said cheerfully, "it's better for us, Xiaojiu, to be filial."
Ye Xiaoxi became even more excited after hearing the compliment, and handed the doll to Ye Yaodong, using both hands.
It was so rare. In the past two days, she had been dragging the baby with her wherever she went. She even held it while sleeping. It was so dirty that she couldn't bear to wash it.
The neighbors on the left and right also praised it.
Mother Ye also smiled and said: "Girls are better than some boys."
"I broke one of my sticks the day before yesterday. It was so annoying. No one was good. I ran to the beach to swim without paying attention."
"That's to fight..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and grabbed the baby's hair and followed an old man and a young man. The middle-aged men and women behind him began to talk about their various experiences of spanking children.
The villagers he met along the way all took the initiative to greet him with enthusiasm.
It was like this when he came, and it was like this when he went back. He was almost flattered.
Looking back on his previous reputation of idleness and comparing it with today's enthusiasm, this is the so-called thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. He has not even been thirty years yet, only less than three years.
As the old lady walked away, she said to Ye Xiaoxi: "Your father is very powerful now and has made a lot of money. You should study hard when you grow up. Our family is short of someone who can study."
Ye Xiaoxi was confused and didn't know what it meant, but he nodded cooperatively, "I know!"
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't study. If no one really knows how to study, your father can earn more money and go to some class in Qingbei to get a diploma."
As for what kind of class, I'll find out later when he earns more money.
"Haha, you can't say that. You told her to study hard since she was a child, and she will remember it in her heart."
"Then why didn't you tell me to study hard when I was a kid?"
"It's no use knowing how to read it. The teacher doesn't know how many days he can teach the students."
"Uh...okay."
As Ye Xiaoxi walked, she looked up and looked at this and that, listening to their conversation, and accidentally tripped on a stone. Fortunately, the old lady held her hand and kept her knees from touching the ground, otherwise the skin would be broken and blood would immediately appear.
Ye Yaodong also immediately hugged him up and refused to let her go.
The three of them returned home slowly.
The two sons were not important. After the father and daughter got home, they climbed into bed and started their parent-child time. The son was given the responsibility of calling Lin Xiuqing.
Early the next morning, Ye Yaodong went to the village committee to apply for land based on what he had discussed with his wife the day before.
The village chief frowned, "You still want to buy land? You want to buy the entire area from the edge of your workshop to the slope near Mazu Temple?"
Secretary Chen also said: "This large piece is bigger than your previous workshop."
"I just want something this big."
"It can't be so big. The area on the beach you have now is very popular. How many people say that Feng Shui is good. If such a large area is given to you, the villagers should have opinions."
"No." Ye Yaodong told them the reason he told Ah Qing yesterday.
And he added: "It happens to be on the left side of the road. It means that I will build workshops on the left side, and the big guys on the right will build houses. Anyway, the open space on the right is quite large, and I can build twenty or thirty households."
The two village cadres looked at each other, both hesitant.
"We will discuss it later and let you know in the afternoon or evening."
"Okay, I will pay whatever land use fee is required."
"You go back first, your area is too big, we need to discuss it."
"good."
After coming out of the village committee, Ye Yaodong got on his bicycle and headed towards the city non-stop.
There was also a sack of grapefruit tied behind his seat. Ah Qing said it was delivered by his second brother a few days ago.
There are also baskets hung on the handles on both sides. One basket contains ripe persimmons, and the other contains pickled salty persimmons.
The basket in front of the bicycle also contained several kilograms of dried jellyfish blood. When I came back two days ago, I brought a lot with me.
Anyway, I was going to the city, so I took half of it from home and sent it to Director Chen in a while. The relationship had to be maintained well. It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it was time to give some gifts.
This kind of home-grown souvenir will not offend people, and it will make people feel more comfortable than buying some canned tobacco and alcohol.
The key is also the result of the labor he has been tinkering with during this period. When he comes back from two months away, he still thinks about giving a copy to his boss, which is his sincerity.
There is no doubt that they are indeed very happy that Ye Yaodong is thinking about it. After accepting it happily, they pulled him and talked with concern for a while, asking him to remember to speak up if he encountered any difficulties.
Of course, Ye Yaodong is not in trouble. He is just here to show off his face and gain favor. By the way, I would like to ask a few words of concern, will the damaged side wheel be given to him, will it have any impact on him?
Director Chen smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. I was promoted not long after I came back. Those are all trivial matters. It's just that you have to work hard to repair it, but there is no such repair here."
"I have contacted a motorcycle factory in the province, and after the holiday, I will have the tractor delivered early the day after tomorrow. I said that Director Chen has worked hard for the country and the people, and he has devoted his whole life. Our country will not treat you badly, and the leaders are also discerning. Zhu, congratulations on your promotion, you are getting promoted step by step..."
"Haha, thank you very much. Just find a place to repair it. If it doesn't go well, call me if you encounter any trouble."
"Thank you, leader, for being so kind to me. I am lucky enough to meet you for the third time in my life."
"It's also fate. You are also smart and hard-working, and you dare to work hard. Who knows, we will become familiar with each other over time. We are also destined to hit it off."
"Yes, I would say that my greatest luck in the past two years is meeting you."
"Then don't say that. You might have better luck."
This is necessary. He was also talking about the past two years, not the next one!
He still has incredible wealth yet to come.
There is still a lot of money waiting for him to earn, and great blessings are definitely yet to come.
"Haha, since the things have been delivered, I will stay shortly so as not to delay your work. Once I come, you won't even have a break at noon. You talked for a long time and had to rush to work again soon."
"It's all a small matter. It's normal to meet old friends after get off work. And I'm receiving a gift, so there's no way I'm delaying anything."
"You are joking. These are all local products of our family. They are not a gift at all. They don't even include tobacco or alcohol."
"It would be great if you thought of coming over to take a look at me. These are very good and very thoughtful. I don't need those things on the counter. I don't lack anything."
"Hey, okay, I think so too, etiquette is less important than affection, but the most important thing is the intention."
"Yes, even if you don't bring anything, I welcome you to come over and have a chat."
The superior is the superior, and whatever he says makes him feel like a spring breeze, making him feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Yaodong exchanged a few more pleasantries and then proposed to leave again. This time Director Chen didn't say much and didn't keep him.
After he came out of the dormitory building, he got on his bicycle again, preparing to go to the street to eat a bowl of noodles, and then rush to the shipyard without stopping.
The person in front of me asked him if he had finished eating, and he simply said that he had, so as to avoid having to come over to deliver food and having to eat at someone else's house.
Alas, in the two or three days since he came back, he felt even more tired than when he was away from home. He was running around outside every day. He originally wanted to take a day off today, but unexpectedly he started to get busy again.
He even suspected that he had taken all the vacations in this life in his previous life, so he was working so hard and worrying now.
Fortunately, the results are also gratifying, and the trajectory of destiny is changing bit by bit.
I slacked off, it was my fault, I made everyone stay up late with me.
I want to ask for leave. I haven’t asked for leave in 3 months. But after thinking about it, I’ll try my best to write it down.
