Chapter 1009 Distribution (7000 Words)
What he said was true and not perfunctory.
I originally thought that if I seize the time to finish fishing out this box, if it is not dark yet, I will go into the water to take a look and clean it to see if there is anything missing.
But at this moment, the boat followed the drift of the box and kept chasing it smoothly, and had long left the area where he launched it.
The reef underneath was not big at all. It was not easy to hit the reef at that point on this vast ocean. The two ships were really unlucky that day.
There are still many boxes floating on the sea, some far away and some close. Although everyone on the two boats is there to help salvage, it is not easy to catch even one box. It takes a lot of effort. , to barely get one.
The floating speed is definitely faster than their fishing speed. The fishing boats are constantly chasing each other. Everyone's thoughts are on fishing for the box. Who wants to think about where the point where they just launched the water is.
If you want to wait for the salvage to be completed and go back to look for it again, you have to put in a lot of effort. Winter swimming is not so friendly.
What's more, these boxes on the sea probably won't be fished out until dark, and their two boats won't be able to see them until dark, and there will be no way to salvage them.
They certainly couldn't just stay where they were and wait until the next day to find the reef.
The original plan was to wait for nightfall and arrive in the city before early morning. There was still a pile of goods on the boat waiting for them to be sold ashore.
After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Yaodong gave up on the second search and cleaning up the fishing boats.
The only thing that can load cargo without sinking directly is the cabin. There is probably nothing else in the other positions, and the machine cannot be lifted away.
The engine of the big ship is not a propeller, but an assembly connected to the gearbox and propeller. He cannot dismantle it alone underwater, and even a person cannot move easily underwater.
So he didn't go for the engine from the beginning. He didn't pay attention to it at all. What he was thinking about from beginning to end was the cargo in the cabin.
Anyway, the purpose of this trip has been achieved. If there is anything else valuable on the boat, let it be kept for the sea.
The two boats, one behind the other, have been following the current to retrieve the boxes. As the sea water flows, the distance between each box being washed away becomes wider and wider.
Before they could catch many fish, they were already scattered. People in a boat could only work together to catch them one by one, and then chase the next one. They couldn't do it at the same time like they did at the beginning.
Efficiency is greatly reduced.
But you definitely have to keep chasing, as this will bring you profits much faster than trawling.
The subsidy for missing work during the day can be covered by just one box.
"It's getting dark soon, and there are still a lot of them on the sea."
Ye Yaodong responded, "It doesn't matter. You can catch as many as you can. When it gets dark, put on your flashlight and go along the current to see if you can catch a few more."
"These ones are becoming more and more scattered. After dark, the light is poor, so it probably won't take long to track them down and they will be hard to find."
"Now we can only chase them one by one. It will take a while to get one."
There were so many people on the boat that he didn't need his help for a while. He just stood there and watched. He also counted the boxes and found that 22 boxes had been fished out. As time went by, it took more time to fish out one box. He continued. If you fish them out, you should only be able to catch thirty or forty, but they will be hard to find.
He looked again and saw that the Harvest was running extra hard in front of him. He didn't know how many people they had caught on board.
Others also asked about the exit.
"I don't know how many they caught. They should pay them back, right?"
"You should pay it back, right? This is all caused by Adong going into trouble, and they are all from the in-laws."
"It's hard to say. Things at sea... they also worked hard to salvage..."
"It's hard to say. If I were thick-skinned, I might not pay it back."
"Let's not worry about it. They will discuss it themselves. They are sons and daughters..."
"Children and in-laws must be made clear when dealing with money and goods. Otherwise, there will be very few people who never interact with each other until death."
"Then we must talk about it and discuss it..."
Ye Yaodong listened to everyone's discussion and walked towards the cockpit.
This is indeed a big problem. When he first saw that the Harvest was also salvaging, he thought that it would be impossible to stop them from salvaging.
He couldn't hold all the boxes in his arms, so the two boats could pick up more at the same time, so as not to return them to the sea.
They also contributed.
"father……"
"It's getting dark. How many have you caught? Every box I saw is quite far away. Now I can only chase them one by one."
"You can still see it now, and it's good to be able to chase them one by one. When it gets dark later, it will take longer and more effort to catch one, and you probably won't be able to catch a few after dark. They're all so floating. It’s far away, and there’s no direction to pursue it.”
"Well, let's see later, how many are there?"
"It's already 23. I just caught another one. Harvest should also have caught a lot."
Father Ye also thought about the distribution issue with understanding and glanced at him, "What are you going to do?"
"After the salvage is completed, I will talk to Uncle Pei. I originally went into the water and released this from the cabin. Otherwise, how could he have salvaged it?"
"Then you have to think about a charter in advance. You have to get all the goods back and leave nothing to him. This is impossible. People have also contributed. We can only discuss the charter if we think about it in advance."
"That's why I ran up to ask you what you said, this is your in-laws."
"They are my in-laws. How can I be my in-laws? I should share 1/3 with him? What do you think?"
"1/4, right? The key is up to me. It's a lot to leave him 1/4 as a reward. And what I think is, it doesn't have to go to the public. This is not a normal trawl income, it is an unexpected gain. , there’s no need to include it in the public calculation?”
Father Ye was still frowning at first, wondering if 1/4 was too little? But when I heard him say that it would not be included in the public calculation, I felt a little confused.
"There are not many people to share it with, so just giving him 1/4 is fine. But if everyone talks about it when we go back, your second brother and Lao Zheng..."
"What's this? Just say that I dived into the water to salvage the cargo of the sunken ship, so I asked Uncle Pei to help me salvage it from the sea. Those cargoes should actually be mine. He just helped, and then I gave Isn't it normal for Uncle Pei to receive a little personal remuneration? What does this have to do with the public?"
Father Ye thought for a while and could barely accept this statement, "If you want to put it this way, it is reasonable to give 1/4, it is just a favor. When you went into the water at the beginning, I also said, where are you looking for The shipwreck, hoping to make a windfall. Those boxes that floated up were obviously brought up from the sea by you, and they were already marked with your label."
"Yes, when we give a red envelope to the boatmen on our ship later, we will also give the same red envelope to the boatmen on the Harvest. This will confirm that they are helping us salvage, and we also want to thank them."
"That's right, the workers next door are not our workers. Since they have helped out, they must be paid."
"So, when it gets dark later and it's hard to find, let's let the two boats come together and discuss it with Uncle Pei. It's better to talk face to face. Let's follow the current regulations and see what he says. ?”
"I think it's okay. It's mainly a personal reward for him. It's just for helping with the salvage. A quarter of it is fine."
Ye Yaodong nodded. Since his father also agreed, it would be easy to say.
It is easier to talk about such important matters in person, so that you can detect subtle changes in other people's reactions immediately. There is no need for anyone to hesitate.
Speak face to face and solve the problem face to face to avoid leaving any knots.
"Then you go down and open the box first to see what's inside, so you can know what's inside."
"OK."
He hurried back to the deck to find tools to open the box.
Each and every boatman was leaning on the side of the ship and looking at the sea, watching a man holding a hooked bamboo pole and hooking a box floating beside it, so he was talking there.
"It's hooked, it's hooked..."
"Pull it over slowly, little by little..."
"A Dong is going to open the box?"
Seeing his actions, the idle people immediately ran over to take a look, leaving only two people there to help.
"I don't know what's inside?"
"Canned fish, that's the one we've eaten in the past two days. After eating it for a long time, I think it's quite good for rice. The deep-fried food is fragrant. You can even chew the fish bones. Chew and swallow."
"It should be. The boxes all look the same. Didn't A Dong say that the canned fish is quite valuable? You can make a lot of money by selling it."
"Let's see what it is first. Maybe it's canned fish?"
"Want to make a bet? A dollar?"
"I do not want it."
"Tch, this means that you also think it's canned fish, so you don't dare to bet."
…
While the boatmen were talking and laughing, Ye Yaodong opened the box bit by bit, and the exposed tip of the iceberg directly proved that it was really canned fish.
The cargo piled in the cabin was the same as the cargo on the deck. It was just that the cabin couldn't be piled up completely. They probably wanted to transport more cargo in one trip, so they piled them all on the deck. Anyway, this kind of iron can packaging is not afraid of sea water tides at all. Lose.
Everyone knew it clearly.
"Just say it's canned fish."
"It's a good thing I didn't make a bet with you."
"There are dozens in that box, but aren't there hundreds of these here? Make a fortune."
"Adong is not only good at sea transportation, but also good at wealth. He really got rich again..."
The sea is indeed his treasure, and Ye Yaodong is also happy. His requirements are not high, and they may not necessarily be other high-end goods. Canned fish is enough for him to make a lot of money.
Damn it, he didn't go to sea earlier in his previous life, which wasted his excellent maritime talent.
He just said that the boss who followed him after running a business became richer year by year.
Some of the big deep-sea boats that are 30 to 40 meters long go out to sea to trawl, and some are a little less lucky. They lose millions a year. In a few years, a boat will lose money, and there will still be debts of another million. His boss But I make money every year.
Madhu, you are making wedding clothes for others.
Fortunately, once again, he changed his mind.
"Since it is confirmed that it is still canned fish, there is no need to open it any more. If you are busy and stand there looking at it, just stack these boxes against the cabin so as not to be scattered and thrown here, affecting the ability to get off the Internet later. goods."
"The sky was still bright just now, but now it's almost dark. Do you still want to continue looking?"
"Let my dad look for it again. Those of you who should be cooking should go and cook. It's already dark, so don't just look around."
"Okay, okay..."
All of a sudden, the two who were idle moved boxes and went to cook.
There are also two boxes leaning against the side of the ship that work together to hook them.
When it was completely dark and half an hour later, Father Ye circled around on the sea surface and didn't see him again before giving up.
As night fell, his vision was blocked. He could only see a limited distance on the sea from the cockpit, and the lights in the cabin were weak. His search was aimless. It was just a matter of luck.
After finding one or two, it was difficult to find them later. It happened that Father Pei also contacted him and said that he had been unable to find them for a long time and planned to give up.
The distance between the two ships was also quite far. Everyone was moving separately, and only the other party's faint lights could be seen on the sea.
After both parties gave up on searching and salvaging, they rushed over in both directions. They also agreed during the connection that they would get closer and chat first.
Father Pei must have known in his heart that it was impossible to embezzle it for himself. He just ordered the boatmen to work casually. He was not the one who took the risk.
After the two boats merged, they hooked them with the hook on the bamboo pole to bring the two boats together, and they were both ready to talk about the distribution issue.
Ye Yaodong also told Pei's father the words he had just discussed with his father, and then watched his reaction.
The boatmen on both sides of the ship listened with their ears pricked up. They all had some gossip and wanted to hear how they distributed it.
The crewmen on the Harvest ship didn't care who got more and who got less. They were just gossiping to see if the two families would get into trouble.
Anyway, they were getting a dead salary, but they were very happy when they heard that Ye Yaodong was going to give them red envelopes, but they didn't expect that they would get a share.
Everyone is more inclined to say that they are working for Dongsheng.
Father Pei also frowned, "Does it count as my personal reward? Doesn't it count as public money?"
"Yes, so how many boxes did you get?"
When he asked just now, Father Pei only vaguely said thirty or forty, but did not give a specific number.
Ye Yaodong was not afraid of him being a treacherous person. Most of the people on the boat were boatmen from his own village, and there was also Chen Qishui who he had put on the boat. He would not use his brains to hide his secrets.
There is no airtight wall in the world. If the news spreads and everyone knows about him, his reputation will be ruined.
But he didn't say frankly how many he had fished out. There must be some selfishness and thoughts.
"Thirty-three pieces. Let me think about it. We have never seen this canned fish here. Can we sell it for money? The packaging is certainly not cheap. Do you know how much it can sell for?"
"I haven't bought one, so I don't know, but it probably costs a few yuan each. So there are 50 canned fish in this box. In terms of value, one box of goods is worth hundreds of yuan. Uncle caught it 33 boxes, if divided into 1/4 points, divided into about 8 boxes, it can be sold for several thousand yuan!"
Father Pei calculated it for him, and his eyes widened.
"How many...how many...thousands of dollars?"
"Ah, it doesn't necessarily cost several thousand yuan. Anyway, based on the price of our orange can, it should be one or two thousand yuan?"
He just said it casually, but it was a bit exaggerated when he thought about it. If it was resold, it would definitely not be as good as the original price. He quickly made up for it, lest it would not be of such great value and he would be relied upon.
So, he is still too conscientious!
Father Ye also widened his eyes, suddenly feeling that 1/4 was too much!
It should be less.
He smacked his lips secretly. He shouldn't have said 1/3 at the beginning. If he said it was less, Dongzi might lower the allocation even lower.
The boatmen on the Harvest were also shocked. They didn't know the value of this canned fish at all. They didn't have it here at all. It was still so expensive. How many yuan could a can be sold for?
Everyone looked at each other, but instantly became happier. The value of this product is so high, so the red envelope should be bigger, right?
Father Pei originally thought that he helped fish out 33 boxes of goods, and only 1/4 was a bit too little. After all, without his help, Dongzi couldn't get so much more goods. If he didn't give half, 1/3 At least?
Although he went to the sea to tinker with things and made the boxes float up, and the credit goes to him, without them, he wouldn't be able to make more money.
Now do the math for him. Since he can give one or two thousand yuan to an individual, it is worth a fortune!
It's just a helping hand, it's a real profit.
Father Pei's frown instantly relaxed, and he smiled, "Is it really worth so much money? We have never seen this kind of canned fish here, but it is quite rare. I didn't expect that fish can also be canned. .”
"Who makes fresh fish inconvenient to transport? It will spoil in a day or two at most in summer. Canned fish will be very convenient to transport. It will also allow some places in the mainland where there are no seas or rivers to eat fish, and it will not waste resources. , improve the shelf life of fish.”
"That's the truth, that's okay. Since it can be sold for so much money, I have made a profit and taken a big advantage."
Seeing that he agreed and had no objection, Ye Yaodong also breathed a sigh of relief. When he said 1/4, he saw his brows furrowed, so he went on to say the value of the goods.
If two boats enter and exit at the same time, it is good for everyone. If they break up, it will not be good for anyone.
What's more, without the help of the Harvest, he really wouldn't be able to salvage so much, and it might all be wasted at sea.
He accounts for 3/4, which is enough. If they are all scattered on the sea, he certainly can't get as much as 3/4?
After taking the lion's share, you have to leave some sweet spots for others.
He also caught 42 on his own boat, and adding 24 more boxes, he got a total of about 66 boxes, but only 8 boxes were given to Uncle Pei.
Doing the math, it's a great deal.
Everyone was very happy.
Father Ye's heart ached, and he smiled a little reluctantly, "As long as you don't have any objection, Dongzi went into the water again and again to look for the reef, and he almost didn't freeze. It's not easy to go down in this cold weather, but he repeatedly I went into the water many times.”
"It's dangerous under the water. It's not easy to find a boat. If the boat sinks, who knows how deep it will sink. He's taking a big risk. Let's just fish a few times on the sea surface. It's easy and hassle-free."
"Without his risk in the water, these dozens of boxes of goods would not have floated up. It's a pity, and many of them have floated away..."
Father Pei was a little embarrassed when he told Father Ye. He also felt that he was too greedy. He took the risk and took advantage of others. The eight boxes he got were indeed enough and could be sold for one or two thousand yuan.
In fact, the satisfaction of both parties mainly depends on personal desires.
Ye Yaodong's desire is not strong. He feels that even if he eats meat, he has to drink soup for others. He should keep a line in everything so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Hello, me, everyone. We are not outsiders yet.
Father Pei smiled and said: "Dongzi has indeed worked hard, and it is all due to his efforts. I want to have a son like him, and I wake up laughing in my dreams. It's a pity that there is only one son in the family. You are better off. Fortunately, everyone has also They are relatives, so there is no need to calculate clearly. I have salvaged 33 boxes, so let’s count them as whole numbers and leave 8 boxes for me.”
Father Ye was reluctantly satisfied, "Okay, then you can keep 8 boxes and move the rest over here. You move them there and we will take over here."
"Okay, everyone, move on. Move 25 boxes of goods over and pick them up for them."
"OK."
The boatmen on both sides were busy at the same time.
Suddenly, Father Pei thought of another question.
"Ah, Dongzi, the store we bought is not open for business at all. It's not easy to handle these goods, and we don't know how to sell them. What are you going to do with them? Are you going to sell them in your own store?"
"I have to go back and think about it."
Although there were labels on the outer packaging of these goods, he was not afraid. He had fished them out of the sea, and they were honest and not smuggled.
Of course, the goods from sunken ships in the sea belong to whoever salvages them, and they are not antiques that have to be handed over.
That is, he didn't know the progress of Director Chen, whether these goods were labeled as stolen goods or something like that, ordinary smuggled goods, so he pretended not to know and sold them.
Now the laws are imperfect, transportation is underdeveloped, information is blocked, and it is not easy to spread. What's more, this is a product produced in Guangdong Province, which is thousands of miles away from them.
However, if the city is investigating, then he can't sell it in a city store.
It is easier and more secure to package them together and hand them over to Lin Jishang directly.
He also salvaged it in a serious manner, and he did not participate in smuggling. He only knew that if others wanted to take it, he would sell it.
You love me.
Wherever someone buys something from you, you can check their ancestors for eighteen generations.
This reason is also very high-sounding.
And according to Lin Ji's development trajectory in his previous life, this person has managed to get ahead safely, and they can be packaged and handled directly for him. Whether it is sold to all over the country or overseas, it seems to be safer than selling it slowly by himself. , and the ones who get rid of it are faster.
However, after returning from the city and passing through the county seat, he would definitely have to stay in the county seat for a while to talk to Director Chen and see how things were progressing.
Then determine the specific plans after bringing the goods back.
Father Pei's face was full of doubts, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering whether I should open a store for retail, or directly find a boss to package and sell to others. I can ship the goods in one go and save myself the trouble of selling it myself, which would take too long."
"That's true. If you sell it all at once, it will be better if you get the money faster. It doesn't matter if it's cheaper. It's fished out of the sea anyway, so it's okay to earn less."
"Yes, I think so too, so I'll think about it after I get back."
"Then when you have thought about it, will you let me know? I only have 8 boxes of goods, and I have no way to sell them. You have a store, you know a lot of people, and you have a wide network. If you have If you contact a good person to take action, can you also help me do it together?" Father Pei smiled eagerly.
"We'll see when the time comes. It's hard to say whether I can ask anyone. I'll think about it first..."
"Okay, then you think about it first. If you have any news, let me know. We are not outsiders. We all help each other. But we can't let you work in vain. If we sell it together, we will act as an intermediary. According to the rules, I will draw 5 points for you..."
Father Ye was satisfied after hearing this. Although they were all in-laws, he still had to settle the accounts clearly, and he had taken advantage of them all.
"I'm sorry, I'll talk about this later. I'll ask first."
Father Pei smiled and nodded.
Father Ye also felt in his heart that the Harvest followed them and took advantage of the boss. Dongzi had good shipping and good things often happened to him. The Harvest followed them and had already benefited several times.
If we look at the monthly bills from Harvest in the past few months, the goods sold through trawling every time were not as much as they are earning now.
This is all because of someone else’s fault!
Now he can get a windfall from Bai, which is really an advantage for him.
Fortunately, the old Pei family only has one son. No matter how much money they make, it will belong to Aguang and Huimei from now on. If the wealth does not go to outsiders, it is not that uncomfortable.
Let them take advantage now, and his daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren will have an easier time in the future.
The boatmen were moving and receiving goods back and forth there, and the three of them finished discussing there and started chatting.
"It's a pity that so many boxes have floated away. Each box costs over a hundred dollars, so all that's really floating away is money."
Father Ye also came back to his senses with a face full of pain, "That is to say, we found it too late. If we had found the place earlier, we could have salvaged for a few more hours and brought up a few more boxes. We can't see anything now. The surface of the sea It was pitch dark and you could only see a few meters in front of you.”
"Then...Have Dongzi looked carefully down there? Is there any other storage space?"
"This is a cargo ship. What I opened is the largest cargo storage room. There probably aren't any other valuable things where they sleep. What's more, it's not that easy to go back and look for it. It's too laborious and time-consuming. Winter Swimming It’s not that uncomfortable, uncle, we’ve got a lot now.”
Father Pei smiled and said, "That's true. It's okay to make a fortune. Don't be too greedy. Even those people have lost too much. The goods are gone and people are still arrested. I don't know what's going on now. Yes, have you been released?"
"By the way, Dongzi, why didn't the people from the Maritime Safety Administration go out to sea to check? Can they let us get into the water and take advantage?" Father Ye also suddenly thought of this.
"I don't know. If you ask me, who should I ask? I don't know anything, so why don't I just stay with you? Otherwise, when I go back, I can pass by the county and ask again?"
