Chapter 1011 A Guang Is Ready to Return It (7000 Words)

Everyone on the boat took advantage of the time they landed to return to the cabin to sleep.

The fishing boat docked at the shore, and the engine was turned off. Everyone cherished the rare quietness and rested whenever they could. After all, the fishing boat operated 24 hours a day, and everyone had limited time to sleep in turns every day, and there was no way to get a good rest. .

The two of them went to the shipyard and didn't know how long they would have to wait before coming out, so it took more than an hour for them to get off the ship, and for nearly two hours, no one came down to urge them.

After they finished their work and boarded the boat, the engine rang, and some of them woke up in a daze, but then continued to sleep. There was no need to work on the return trip anyway, and only Father Ye insisted on getting up and coming out to take a look.

"Did you negotiate? Did you say how much it will cost? How many meters?"

Ye Yaodong showed the draft chapter in hand to his father, "34 meters long, 6.6 meters wide, 140 tons, 38,000 yuan..."

Father Ye originally took the scratch paper in his hand and turned it around several times without understanding it. When he heard his words, his hands shook and the scratch paper flew away.

"Hang Tian, ​​Shan Zhang Shan..."

Ye Yaodong also stood up hastily. Fortunately, the wind was blowing as the fishing boat moved forward. As soon as the flyer took off, it was blown against the windshield in front.

Father Ye hurriedly took down the list again and held it in his hand. He quickly snatched it away and complained angrily.

"What are you doing? Show it to you. You haven't grasped it yet, and you almost flew into the sea. There are pictures written on it, and there are a bunch of regulations and supporting facilities. They are all gone for you, and then you forgot to mention them. What kind of good supporting facilities are there? If you go to the shipyard in the county later, you have to ask if the price of the same supporting facilities can be reduced a little bit."

"No...Dongzi...this...is this boat so expensive?"

Father Ye was also stunned by the price he quoted just now. His hands were so frightened that he couldn't even hold the paper steady before it flew away.

As soon as we got off the boat, I was not awakened by the sea breeze, but I was frightened and motivated by his offer.

"Yeah, it's just so expensive."

"Why is it so expensive? 38,000 is more than twice as expensive as our boat..."

"It's big."

"I don't think that fresh-harvesting boat is worth that much? That person must be cheating us. Who can afford it for 38,000? The fresh-harvesting boat doesn't fish, it only delivers supplies..."

"The storage space is huge, Dad. Although there is no equipment such as a net hoist or crane, there are cold storage rooms and ice storage rooms. These technologies are not cheap in the first place and are more expensive than those machines. Also, the ship for inquiry, He set us at about 34 meters, saying that this size is enough, and it is not a problem to dock five or six fishing boats at the same time, and it can bear a load of 140 tons."

His current load-bearing capacity on this ship is more than ten tons, not including the nearly 10,000 kilograms of goods sold in the morning. It originally had more than twenty tons, but that was nearly three days' worth, including the goods that have not been dumped in the past few days. groceries.

In the past two and a half days, the catch, except for crabs, useless jellyfish, weeds and other debris, has not been dumped into the sea at all. It has all been accumulated on the boat. It weighs more than 10,000 kilograms and nearly 20,000 kilograms a day. , there were 50,000 to 60,000 jins in two and a half days.

The cumulative catch of a fishing boat in two days can reach 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms with good luck, which is equivalent to more than 20 tons. If three fishing boats are docked at the same time, it will be more than 70 tons.

In addition to the weight of the ship itself, as well as the weight of the equipment and storage on the ship, such as ice, oil, fresh water, etc., the weight must be added to the dozens of tons.

If there are no ships with more than 100 tons, ordinary fresh-harvesting ships would not dare to dock with so many ships at the same time. If they do, they will rush back and forth to collect the goods, and the goods will be handed over to partners to sell on the shore.

That means there is more cargo now, but less cargo in the future, and more ships can be docked.

"You said that the fresh harvesting ship that docked with us a few days ago was originally modified from a trawler released by the fishing team. The modification cost is definitely not cheap, and the storage space will also need to be increased."

"Although the ship looks dilapidated, most of the things that should be there have been added. Even though it looks a little shabby from the outside, judging from the ship's hardware and equipment, it will be eliminated in a few years."

"If I order a boat, it will definitely last for decades. Think about it, if this trawler sells goods to the fresh harvesting boat for more than 1,000 yuan in two days, not counting the deduction of supplies, it's just that The amount of money he sells is equivalent to how much he earns from collecting fresh boats."

"Originally, the fresh boat collection is equivalent to half the wholesale price to about 60% of the wholesale price. The goods are collected at sea. One boat of goods is collected every two days. Not to mention too much, can you earn 1,000? Can't you make 3,000 with three boats? Round trip oil If you deduct a few hundred yuan from the money, even if you add labor, ice consumption or other things, if you count a little more, you can still earn 2,000."

"What's more, we can transport the groceries we collect by the way home and use them. The income from this is another. Even if we consume more gas, it is still worth it. It is by the way anyway."

"I go there once, sell the goods for two days when I come back to the shore, and then go to collect them. It just gives the fishing boat two days to stock up. If I make 2,000 yuan per trip, won't it be possible to recoup the money in a few months? 38,000 is not very expensive.”

"Besides, when the time comes, our groceries can also be used to give more money to the Harvest, and the boat that our three brothers jointly do not have to be dumped into the sea. This is a lot, and they will definitely be happy to earn more. Money, who wants this garbage from an ordinary fresh-collecting ship?”

"This is also equivalent to welfare, and it saves us from having to keep the groceries after the harvest, so that we can take advantage of this. Some people have not said it out loud, but they must have some thoughts in their hearts."

For example, his second sister-in-law had said before that this was the trouble with having too many shareholders. Therefore, he only planned to do his own thing when taking over Xian Chuan. He could do whatever he wanted without having to listen to other people's nonsense.

"By blocking everyone's mouths, other ships can earn more hard-earned money. Although the price of our goods collection is the same as that of other fresh goods collection ships, this can be regarded as additional income."

If they have several ships operating in one sea area, they don't have to find a ship to collect goods in the vast sea. They can find a ship here and a ship there to collect goods. They can also save a lot of gas money, which will be of great benefit to him. , Don’t take advantage of outsiders.

Father Ye heard that his calculations were clear and logical, and he felt that it was quite reasonable. They all had ready-made fishing boats, so they didn't need to go around looking for connections. They could just get a fresh-harvesting boat to connect directly.

We now own three ships, and Adong owns a lot of shares in them. It is better to give money to other fresh-collecting ships than to make it ourselves. The profits here are also huge.

The key is that after the groceries brought home are put to use, the two workshops at home can have work every day. There is no need to wait for the fishing boats to dock, start work for a few days, and then stop. The employment rate of women in the village can be It will be greatly improved and can also bring some benefits to the villagers.

Nothing is wasted, and the workshop can make more money, achieving multiple things with one stone.

"You're pretty good at calculating, so don't think about taking out so much money at once..."

"This is an early investment that can be repaid. Do you still want to get nothing? The bigger you do, the greater the investment and the greater the return."

Father Ye had nothing to say for him. If he really wanted to build a fresh harvesting boat, he would really make a lot of money. It would be docked with his own fishing boats. It was very stable and there would be no changes in fishing boats. He would find other fresh harvesting boats and press Judging from the daily gains, there is no loss.

"Then I still have to ask more to see if the price can be lowered a little more. I also have to go to the shipyard in the county and ask. Our small place may be able to get it cheaper..."

"You are cruel enough to build such a big boat all at once. Each boat you buy is bigger and more expensive than the last."

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "People have to look forward. If you are rich, why don't you think about being richer? The money is right in front of you and you have to earn it. If you don't make a bastard, you have to make some progress and pursue something." "

"You've made more than a little progress. You're getting bigger year by year. The year before last, it was just a small wooden boat, and the year before that it was already a trawler. After building several boats last year, the Dongsheng was handed over at the end of the year. The goods are in stock, and we have to collect the fresh boats again this year, and the work is getting more and more serious..."

Ye Yaodong was happy to tell his father.

It’s true, it’s true that the ships built are getting bigger and bigger every year, and there are more and more ruthless jobs.

"Dad, what kind of boat do you think I can build next year?"

Father Ye rolled his eyes at him, "See what you can do. Am I a fortune teller or a magician? Can I tell you clearly and tell you what kind of boat you want to build next year?"

He touched his chin, "I think I might be able to build a steel fishing boat in the next year or so. I don't know if there is one. In a few years, I can build a speedboat, and then I can build a yacht..."

"Stop dreaming. Whatever you are talking about, you will start dreaming in broad daylight."

He didn't even talk about the aircraft carrier, but he was already dreaming?

"Just wait for me to get rich, and I will bring you happiness when the time comes."

"Yes~" Father Ye asked angrily, "The more work you do, the more tired I will be. I have to work hard behind you, and I can't retire even if you want to. After you finish working here, I have to give you The eldest brother and the second brother do it, and then they have to do it for you. I estimate that when I reach 80 years old, I won’t even have a pension, and I will still have to look after the workshop for you.”

"That makes sense. From now on, the workshop will really have to count on you to watch the gate."

"Concentrate on your ship."

Before leaving, Father Ye stretched his neck to take a look at the list he placed on the operating table, pressed with a simple ashtray.

"I don't know what I wrote, I scribbled and drew...I don't even know which one is up and which one is down...

Ye Yaodong pretended not to hear what his father was saying. Fortunately, he was literate and could read everything written on the paper clearly. Moreover, he was explaining, writing and drawing in front of him.

After spending some time at the shipyard in the city, it was noon again. By the time he sailed back to the shipyard in the town, it was already past 3 o'clock.

Thinking that the shipyard in the county town was nearby, he simply went directly to the shipyard to inquire about the price first. Director Chen probably didn't have time today, and it was probably dark when he left the shipyard.

But he is not in a hurry. The boxes on the ship can be moved home and piled in the yard. Tomorrow, he will go to Director Chen to inquire. There is no rush for now.

I don't know if Lin Jishang has been at home recently. He just weighed 5,000 kilograms of goods a week ago, so he probably went out.

This is a busy man who is even busier than him, so he has to try his luck to find someone.

Director Wu now smiles brightly and enthusiastically when he sees him. Based on his spending power, he can be considered a big customer.

Ye Yaodong went straight to the point and told him the purpose of his visit. He also gave him a set of rhetorical requirements that had been negotiated at the city's shipyard and asked him to quote a price.

Director Wu originally heard him saying that he wanted to order a 34-meter fresh harvesting boat. His eyes widened in shock. Then he heard him cracklingly talking about a long list of requirements and the required specifications and equipment, and then he came back to his senses. Come.

"Where did you ask? So you didn't need me to explain it to you, so you just decided on the equipment requirements?"

"Yes, I just came back from trawling and passed through the city. I have already asked a lot at the shipyard in the city. But I think we are old acquaintances. Many ships were built by you. We are more familiar with each other, so of course we can't Fertilizer and water flow into outsiders' fields. I have to ask you to see if the supporting equipment arranged is reasonable? Can it be optimized a little more? Then, I will also ask you to give me a quotation to see who is more conscientious. Of course , the most important thing is the delivery time. After all, your shipyard is much smaller..."

"It's easy to talk about. I can let the workers work day and night. As long as we can settle down, let's sit down and talk slowly. I also have to remember what you said, and then make a list and sort it out before I can give you a quotation."

Ye Yaodong and A Guang also followed him into the office.

The three of them were inside and chatted for a long time while writing and drawing. It wasn't until it got dark that he took another piece of paper on which to write and draw, folded it and put it in his pocket.

"I'll go back and think about it. It's just that your delivery date can't be met."

"There is no way, the factory is so big, we all work in three shifts, and we never stop. We have hired a lot of people in the past two years, and the efficiency is actually much higher."

"Hey, my eldest nephew is also 15 years old. My father has always been thinking about letting him learn a trade early. After all, he is the eldest grandson. The old man has always felt that if he has a trade, he will starve to death. He is now in the third grade of junior high school, and he doesn't usually look like one. What kind of study materials can you be allowed to be an apprentice here for a few years?"

"ah?"

"Aren't you short of manpower? I'll send you one. Don't you also tell me that you plan to start recruiting workers again?"

Director Wu thought about it for a while, but didn't say anything, "You can think about it."

Generally, when master craftsmen recruit apprentices, they also recruit their own relatives. Craftsmen rely on their craftsmanship to make a living. How can they teach it to outsiders casually? Of course, it is more difficult to get into a big factory like theirs. You are said to be an apprentice, but you also get a salary, which is much better than being an apprentice to an ordinary master.

It is said that teaching apprentices to starve the master to death. It is not easy to learn things as an apprentice to a master. However, if you go to a big factory, you can really learn, and after you graduate, you can stay in a big factory directly. This is no less than In an iron rice bowl.

"Okay, then I'll go back and think about it."

"You come back tomorrow and we will explain it in detail tomorrow. We will definitely not be able to fully understand it in one visit. If there are any details or other things that you don't understand, you can come back tomorrow and we will explain it in detail. I am too pressed for time today. I can only give you a quote for the solution I provided, maybe we can optimize it a little more and get a better price."

"Okay, okay, okay, okay, of course you can't be hasty with a boat that's more than 30 meters long. It's normal to talk about the plan a few more times. You should also consider the matter of my eldest nephew coming to work, and you can be accommodating..."

Ye Chenghai looks a little naughty now, but he will still be quite hardworking when he grows up. He is not a student anyway. If he can find a job, he can carry buckets and enter the factory early. It will be better than running out to grow seaweed in the future. .

But now I am in my second year of junior high school. It would be a pity not to get my junior high school diploma without studying for one more year.

Or when we come back tomorrow, we can discuss it again. We can come here every weekend to learn to work as a helper without being paid, and then we can officially carry buckets into the factory after graduating from junior high school.

Then wait until there is an opportunity to study in the future, and then get a high school diploma. After a few years, you can go to a special university based on your skills and get a university diploma. By then, you will be a full-fledged technical talent.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Ye Yaodong didn't stay much. After agreeing to come back tomorrow, he got on the boat and left.

Father Ye came over as soon as possible. It wasn't that he didn't want to get off the boat, but that he had to watch the boat and he wasn't so relieved when it was handed over to other boatmen.

"What do you mean? Is it cheaper?"

"It's cheaper, but the delivery time is not as good as the ones in the market. The ones in the city can be delivered at the end of this year, but he has to wait until the middle of next year."

"It's too late. If we have to wait until the middle of next year, then we have to waste more than half a year and not be able to make money? The losses in this half year are also huge."

"That's the saying. However, the ship that the three brothers are partnering with will not be delivered until the middle of next year. If the harvest ship is obtained earlier, we will earn less just docking two ships."

"That's also a good thing."

Ye Yaodong nodded, "Let's talk about it after we get back. Let's sail back first. It's dark now, so we don't have time to go into detail. We'll talk about it when we come back tomorrow."

"Let's see if some equipment or other things can be optimized, and see if there are any changes that need to be made. It's not something you can just say and make an immediate decision."

"Of course you have to be careful. This is not a small boat. The entire village may not be able to build one. Only a fishing company can afford it."

"You're wrong, dad. I bought my first trawler from the friend introduced by Uncle Jingye. He just eliminated the fishing boats and raised funds to build a boat over 30 meters long."

"That's different. There might be a bunch of people working together to build a boat. Otherwise, who can do it for tens of thousands of dollars? You are an exception. You do it alone."

A Guang listened in surprise and said: "Dongzi wants to do it alone? Don't you want to find someone to partner with you?"

Ye Yaodong also realized that he didn't seem to tell A Guang that he wanted to do it alone.

He quickly said: "Yes, I plan to do it myself. Anyway, I have enough funds, so I don't need to find others to partner."

"This is not a matter of funds, it is a matter of risk. Finding a few more people to partner can share the risk, so that the investment is not too large and the risk is not taken on."

"I think it's okay. There are many people and many opinions. I have already partnered with several fishing boats. It is quite troublesome to settle the accounts every month. It would be too troublesome to build another fresh harvesting boat and have to settle the accounts again."

"I don't want every ship I run to have a bunch of shareholders, and then have to settle a bunch of accounts. This is very troublesome. If I do it alone, how much money I will earn by then, I just need to bring it back and throw it to Ah Qing. She settles the accounts, so I don’t have to worry about them. Otherwise, I would have to go and settle the accounts for each ship in person, and I would be very busy by the end of the month.”

Aguang thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

"You have too many ships..."

"Right, I still have to go out to sea to fish, and there are two workshops and shops at home. Just doing the accounting gives me a headache."

"You can hire an accountant."

"That's not enough. Just let Ah settle the accounts. Women are the best at settling accounts."

…

Seeing that the two of them were chatting, Father Ye quickly returned to the cockpit and sailed back. It was already dark, and it would probably be 8 o'clock by the time we sailed back.

Ye Yaodong also wanted to tell A Guang quickly that he wanted to go it alone, lest A Guang listen to the whole process and plan to join forces.

He really thinks that partnership is too troublesome. If he really wants to recruit a few people to join each ship, then he doesn't have to do anything all year round, he can just settle accounts there.

The two stood on the deck and continued to chat while enjoying the wind. The other boatmen stayed in the cockpit and fell asleep and did not come out.

There's nothing to do anyway, I'll be home soon, and I don't plan to cook on the boat.

"What are these dozens of boxes of goods piled on your deck? I wanted to ask you when I came back from the city during the day. Even if you hid in the cockpit and dad went back to the cabin to lie down, there was no one for me to ask. ask."

"Did your father tell you that the last time we went to sea, we encountered two fishing boats that ran aground on the rocks and overlapped each other, and one of them sank?"

"You jumped into the sea to retrieve the sunken ship?" A Guang looked at him in disbelief, "You went into the water in such a cold weather?"

"Yes, I am a hero."

Ye Yaodong briefly explained the salvage process to him.

"Ah, then my father also gave away 1/4 of you? This is just a favor. I will go back and ask him to return it later. How embarrassing is this? We are still in-laws..."

"Hey, don't... We have agreed on the distribution, and no one has any objections. What else is there? Your father and the others also contributed."

"What kind of effort did he make? It was all the boatmen who helped with the salvage. He just gave an order and then drove the boat to follow. You can just send a red envelope if you want. Aren't you going to give red envelopes to other boatmen too? ? Just give him a random red envelope to thank him. How many boxes of goods are divided into? Didn’t you say that one box costs a hundred yuan? That’s several hundred yuan..."

"I've agreed not to say anything more."

In case Uncle Pei thought he was reluctant to part with the few boxes of goods and muttered in front of A Guang, and then A Guang went back to attack and wanted to return the goods, then he would be so embarrassed, and he would have to look up and not see him again.

Uncle Pei is a very shrewd person.

"My father is used to being the boss of the family... We can't handle this matter like this. I'll go back and tell him that you are generous and we can't be so unreasonable."

"There's nothing unorthodox about this. Without the help of the Harvest to salvage, many of them would have floated away. It's a win-win situation."

Aguang shook his head and said seriously: "It's different. You can't be so blind to money. You forgot that when we went to Zhejiang Province to catch jellyfish last year, you were the one who made the suggestion as an agent, and then you didn't have time to stay." On the shore, just let me do it."

"At the beginning, I was not sure whether it could be done and how much money could be earned? We didn't talk about the distribution method. We didn't say this at the beginning, and it was kept vague later. We only exempted you from the agency fee. In the end I gave you 3,000 yuan, but you didn’t even ask for it, so you gave it back to me.”

"You let me earn this big money and didn't care about me, but my father cares about this small favor. It's so inappropriate."

Ye Yaodong felt very relieved after hearing this. He didn't misjudge the person. A Guang was quite clear about it.

After returning from rebirth, among his friends, he did play best with A Guang.

He patted A Guang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much. Last year, you were the one communicating on the shore and running around. It was quite dangerous to face those gangsters. Chen Jianian even received a beating and lay down. After a few days, I came up with an idea..."

"My father also only asked people to help fish out the goods. It was just a little effort and help each other. The most dangerous and critical things were completed by you going into the water and slowly exploring the way."

"If it were other fishing boats, there would be nothing wrong with such a distribution, but we are not outsiders, and we have taken enough advantage from you."

"You don't need to say much. When I go back and talk to my father, he will understand."

"It's really unnecessary..." Ye Yaodong was a little embarrassed, he could afford to give it away for a few hundred yuan.

"You don't have to worry about it. My dad is thick-skinned and he won't feel uncomfortable even after he has lived a long time. When the time comes, you can sell all the goods and give him a red envelope as a thank you."

"We are all brothers, and we are all in-laws, not outsiders. I am not short of these few boxes of goods. Didn't you see that I have dozens of boxes piled here? If not, the goods on the ship are enough for me to earn. No, you don’t need to say it, so as not to make Uncle Pei look bad."

He also wants to build a fresh harvest boat to harvest the goods of the Harvest. It is better not to worry too much about the money earned from the boat, so as not to leave people feeling upset.

He also said this, but Aguang didn't take it seriously.

"One size, one size. My father is also reasonable. Our family is not short of these few boxes of goods, which cost several hundred yuan."

"If you do this, it will embarrass me. How will I earn money from the Harvest in the future?"

"Just do whatever you want, let's talk about the facts."

Ye Yaodong shook his head and said nothing more. Let's watch it later.

Anyway, he had said everything that needed to be said. Even if Aguang really wanted to return the goods, there was nothing he could do.

As he said, neither of the two families are short of each other by a few hundred yuan, and they should help each other.

If he returns the goods, he can give him 200 yuan in red envelopes and take them back.

The red envelopes have not been given to the boatmen yet. After selling the goods and getting on the ship, the Harvest immediately set sail and took the first step. The other boatmen also returned to the cabin to sleep and have not come out until now.

Thinking of this, he planned to go back to the cabin to prepare red envelopes, and before disembarking later, he would give the red envelopes to the boatmen on his own ship.

The boatmen on the Harvest are all from their own village, except for the one arranged by Chen Qishui and Uncle Zheng. It would be better if his mother delivers it to everyone later.

For those country people, red paper is of great use. There are also folded red papers in his suitcase. These days, red envelopes are always wrapped in red paper.
