Chapter 1720 Implementation
Ah Guang tried to persuade Ye Yaodong all the way, but Ye Yaodong did not budge.
Now that he has a large family and many people under his command, he naturally has more things to consider, unlike them who can go wherever they want.
They didn't necessarily need Ye Yaodong to participate, but they would feel more at ease if he were there.
Ye Yaodong is their source of security now. With him around, they feel like they've already succeeded 80% of the way. Otherwise, they wouldn't have gone to all that trouble to keep persuading him.
"Alright, I know all of that, I understand, but right now, my priority is not poaching coral, but getting all the necessary permits for fishing in international waters."
"To fish legally, I need to prepare to go to the high seas during the fishing moratorium. This year, the time is too short; the procedures can't be completed in a month or so. But I still need to prepare early."
"The workers need to take the necessary certification exams. With so many people, it will take a long time. If we get them ready this year, they won't have to worry about resting during the fishing moratorium next year."
"There are also some fishing boat arrangements in the near sea. These are my primary concerns. You can decide for yourselves to go. I will let you know if your uncle contacts you."
Ah Guang nodded without pressuring, "Alright, then you can say whatever you want. Anyway, we're definitely going to take a gamble. We can't just sit and rest for two months without doing anything."
"Yes, we're almost at the shore. Let's get ready to disembark."
Ye Xiaoxi suddenly leaned on his shoulder, "Dad, what are you whispering about? Don't we have lots of little corals in our family too?"
"Yes, I'll have someone carve it into a small bracelet for you to wear on your wrist later, would you like?"
"Yes, yes! I want all sorts of colors! And a necklace too!"
"No problem, grab your little things and get ready to disembark."
"okay."
After they lined up to disembark, Ye Xiaoxi excitedly pointed ahead, "Dad, there are foreigners!"
Ye Chengyang looked over with great interest, "Dad, have you ever seen foreigners? I've seen foreigners several times in Shanghai, and there are so many foreigners here!"
Ye Yaodong glanced at it and said, "I've seen it."
“I heard from my classmates that there are mixed-race people! It’s when two people from different countries have a child. I’ve even seen a black person mixed with brown.”
"Black mixed-race people are called mixed-race people."
Ye Chengyang: "!!!"
The others chuckled.
"Hahaha, lamb offal? Hahaha, wow, foreign offal..."
"Haha, that's hilarious, Dad..."
What's so funny about me?
"That's hilarious, your description of 'mixed cultures' is so funny."
"Stop talking nonsense, get in the car and let's go."
Ah Guang was laughing so hard, "So you can call it a mixed bag of foreigners, haha, your name is so apt."
Ye Yaodong rode off on his motorcycle, and the people behind him, no longer able to laugh, hurriedly followed.
Ye Chengyang was still laughing loudly as he got on the motorcycle, "When I get back to school, I'm going to tell my classmates that mixed-race people are called 'foreign mongrels'! Hahaha~"
Lin Xiuqing kept smiling, unable to suppress her laughter.
Ye Yaodong was busy with the fishing boat permits the next day, and postponed the meeting for two more days, spending two days to complete the permits for all three boats.
The Ocean 10 and 11 ships are almost ready, with only a few miscellaneous items left. They will take another ten days or so to complete the inspection. Since his own people are coming over, he will conduct the inspection together in advance to avoid having to make repeated trips.
We can pick a good day and then bring people over to open it.
After settling things here, he went back and continued to ask the army for more people.
Although the fishing ban is just over a month away and will likely be implemented once the personnel arrive, there are always ways to circumvent the policies. In any case, the priority is to get the personnel.
Who knows when the troops will arrive? If they can get someone to come in a month or so, that's already considered fast.
There's nothing to do here, so it's fine to just stay here for two months.
During the two days he was away, Manager Qi was busy applying for fishing in international waters and inquiring about designated pilot fishing moratoriums.
There have been some results. It is said that fishing in near-shore fishing grounds will be banned this year, but deep-sea fishing will not be banned. A complete ban on fishing will begin next year.
Analysis suggests that control over the deep sea is weak, and even if it is prohibited, it is estimated that only a few vessels can be stopped. Moreover, foreign fishing boats are crossing the border too brazenly, requiring fishermen to spontaneously resist and help monitor the sea area.
If we don't allow fishing in our own area, then all the benefits will go to the small businesses and Taiwanese fishing boats, which is detrimental to both ourselves and others.
Furthermore, if only this port prohibits deep-sea fishing, then it's useless if there are no prohibitions in other places. There are still plenty of ships that can change their port of call and still find a way to go to the deep sea. Restricting this port alone is ineffective.
Only restricting near-shore fishing grounds will be effective; as long as there is no complete ban on deep-sea fishing, targeted pilot programs will not be able to restrict deep-sea fishing.
Upon hearing the result, Ye Yaodong felt relieved. He had prepared for the worst, but it seemed to be alright.
After the turn of the millennium, the government even paid fishing boats to sail to the edge of the South China Sea to intimidate neighboring countries. I heard that they received three to five thousand yuan a day. As long as they stayed at sea, they didn't have to do anything and they would receive subsidies.
"This is a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune. We need to hurry up and urge the troops to send people over so I can arrange for the three new ships."
"When the fishing boats from the nearshore return to shore next time, we will directly notify them to go back to their hometowns. The fishing grounds near DYD will remain unchanged."
He was truly relieved; if those dozen or so fishing boats hadn't been salvaged, he would have lost millions of yuan in two months.
Manager Qi smiled even on his serious face. "Yes, thankfully, the result isn't too bad, and it's acceptable."
Ye Yaodong continued to instruct, "Although deep-sea fishing is still permitted, all the necessary permits for fishing in international waters must be obtained. The crew members should also take advantage of their rest days to get my seaman's certificates; they can arrange their own time."
There's no need to worry about not having time to get certified while at sea. When typhoons are concentrated in July, August, September, and October, fishing boats will have to dock intermittently to rest, giving everyone time to do so.
"Understood. Someone has been assigned to handle it. We've already found out what documents are needed and are starting to prepare. We'll try to get the fishing license as soon as possible."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work. Once the staff quarters are aired out a bit, they should be ready to move in. Have the logistics department arrange the allocation, and then discount the rent from the market price and deduct it from the workers' wages. Those who have made significant contributions, like a few of your key employees, can be given the right to purchase apartments, also at a discount from the market price. Have the logistics department investigate the specific market price and then draft a list for me."
Manager Qi was overjoyed. "Okay, thank you, boss. I'll have the logistics department take care of it right away."
"Okay, you guys get on with it and get busy. Report back if anything comes up."
"clear."
After Ye Yaodong and the others left, they crossed their legs and relaxed.
If deep-sea fishing is temporarily permitted, then he doesn't need to worry about anything, which provides a buffer.
If he prepares early, it won't matter if fishing is banned next year; he can take his fishing boats to the high seas.
He also shared the news with his older brothers and three friends so that they wouldn't have to worry too much.
Ah Guang was originally on shore, while the other two, who were at sea, received news from the seafood collection ship that the new policy would be implemented soon, and rushed back to inquire about it.
He had just returned from his busy trip to Shanghai, and they had also returned from the sea.
This is crucial to their income.
After learning the outcome from beginning to end, the three of them were neither disappointed nor happy.
"What's with those expressions? You seem pretty unhappy?"
Ah Guang said, "No, not at all."
Xiao Xiao said, "We just made a decision, and then this happens. Now we don't know what to do. Should we continue fishing at sea or go get coral?"
Ah Zheng chimed in, "Yeah, it suddenly feels like a difficult decision to make."
"What do you mean by 'difficult to decide'? Did the three of you go on your own or did you find another way? Uncle's boat was recently chased back and won't be going again anytime soon. The boss has already made a lot of money, so there's no need for him to take any more risks. If he's going, he'll have to wait a few months."
Ah Zheng said, "Who knows how long they'll need to recover? It's better to introduce us first, just in case."
"I'll let you know when I get in touch with them. I also need to treat them to a meal."
"Why are you still trying to curry favor with them? Didn't you really not want to go?" A-Guang asked, puzzled.
"I need to curry favor with people? It's more like they're the ones currying favor with me!" Ye Yaodong said confidently, then picked up two corals from the corner of the table to show them.
He didn't have time to find a carpenter to make a base, so he just put it anywhere in the corner of the table and covered it with a cloth to prevent it from accumulating dust.
Everyone was surprised.
"Hey? Where did you get these two corals?"
"It's quite big and pretty. This all-red one must be expensive, right?"
"Holy crap, did your uncle's boss give this to you? It must be worth over a thousand yuan, right?"
"The color of this tail branch isn't quite right. This one should be cheaper, maybe a few hundred yuan at most."
Ye Yaodong said proudly, "I said I wanted one, and my uncle got me one. When his boss found out, he specially picked out this oxblood red acacia one to give me. I didn't have anything to give as a gift, so I was thinking of treating him to a meal, but he was busy. I left my phone number, but I don't know if I can get in touch with him. I'll try it first."
Ah Guang said, "Then you should give it a try. Everyone can get to know each other beforehand, since we're all in the same place anyway."
Ah Zheng said enviously, "You're really something else. Someone gave you such a big coral just to get to know you."
"This is a money-driven era, so it's good for you to make more money."
"Forget it, you're not that lucky."
"That's just not my fate."
Ye Yaodong changed the subject, and took the opportunity to talk to them about fishing in international waters, suggesting that the crew members on his ship also get certified and prepare in advance.
"So... next year there will probably be a complete ban on fishing?"
"It's uncertain. Deep-sea fishing is allowed this year, but who can predict next year's policy? However, it will definitely be fully implemented and completely banned in the near future."
It's still in the trial and pilot phase, and who knows how it will be adjusted? It could change every year.
It's not time to be certain yet, so he can't be too definitive. At most, he can only say that he's sure.
Ah Zheng complained, "This is such a pain, it changes every year."
Xiao Xiao chimed in, "Wouldn't it be better if things didn't change, just like a few years ago? Why all this fuss?"
"That's not fair. The country definitely needs to plan ahead. What if there are more and more fishing boats and all the fish are killed? Seafood has a growth process. If those fishing boats and people work tirelessly in shifts and catch all the fish before they even grow up, what will future generations catch? There must be some restrictions. In the past, there were many fish, so there was no need to restrict them. Now that there are fewer fish, of course there must be restrictions."
"Okay, okay, everything you said is right."
"You have a lot to say, and you're right."
Ye Yaodong laughed and cursed, "Damn it, get lost, I have to go to work."
"Why go to work? Just play cards. You're the boss now, you should be the one having someone else work for you."
"No time. I've been very busy lately. I've been away for a few days and a lot of things have piled up. I also have to take care of getting three new ships back. You guys have fun on your own."
No one wanted to bother him, since they all knew he had a large business and a lot to do.
Ye Yaodong had just returned and hadn't even made the call to the military to ask for the missing personnel yet; he was indeed very busy.
A few days later, the policy was fully implemented and announced, which meant it was a done deal.
The dock was in an uproar, and some people even caused trouble, but fortunately the local authorities were prepared.
The fact that the news was released in advance served as a warning, and most people were mentally prepared. At most, there has been some initial commotion, but the rest has been digested and accepted well over the next few days, and people have already developed their own solutions.
The reason why deep-sea fishing wasn't banned is probably because they were worried that going too far would cause widespread discontent and make things difficult to handle. So they restricted one thing and opened another, providing a buffer and proceeding gradually.
For the next month, the entire dock was abuzz with discussion about the pilot fishing moratorium. The closer the date got, the more intense and frequent the discussions became. However, the number of fishing boats also decreased significantly, and the port became deserted, something that had never happened before.
In the past, even during the Lunar New Year, the port was full of fishing boats.
They've already found a way out and are fishing in other places, since it's just a pilot program and other places haven't banned it yet.
Meanwhile, the price of almost all fish products has doubled in the past month.
Fortunately, they had cold storage facilities, and all the catch was from their own fishing, so their costs didn't increase. On the contrary, they made a fortune.
Taking advantage of the approaching fishing moratorium, Ye Yaodong also began to arrange for the Dongsheng to return.
The 11 ships of the Dong Sheng have already docked and returned to rest ahead of schedule.
Everyone packed their bags and prepared to go home to fish.
The crew of the returning fishing boats also needs to be adjusted, with as many local crew members as possible being transferred back to the Dong Sheng. The list has already been prepared, and all that's needed is to issue an announcement.
"Dad, the 11 Dong Sheng fishing boats, plus three fresh catch boats, will return tomorrow, along with the other small boats from our village."
"Is everything arranged?"
"Yes, everything is arranged. We'll set off early tomorrow morning. If the fishing boat docks, remember to call me. I've also arranged for three sales representatives to go back; they're all from around our village, so it'll be convenient for them to run their business locally."
"I know, all this fuss. Luckily, it's just that you can't fish there. You can still do it when you come back. You can go to the deep sea too."
"In a few years, it will probably be completely banned, and we won't even be able to go to the deep sea. The entire ocean will be banned."
"I'm so full. I'm glad I didn't go upstairs and stayed at home, otherwise I would have had to run back and forth."
Ye Yaodong asked with a smile, "Are you comfortable living in the new house?"
Mr. Ye chuckled and said, "Of course, how could we not be comfortable living in such a grand house? It's a good thing that it's not just your mother and me, but also the old lady. Otherwise, such a big house would feel too empty with just the three of us."
"Everyone else has moved in, right?"
"No, your eldest and second sisters-in-law have their own homes, why would they come here? My three granddaughters have moved in with me, it's lively with them around."
"Just the three of them?"
“Yes, who else could it be? None of your family members are home. How could Chenghe’s wife move here? With your sister-in-law here, she still needs your sister-in-law to help take care of the children. They have to live together.”
"Ah."
"Only 5 out of 8 rooms are occupied, leaving 3 empty. When your family of three comes back, we can each take one room."
"By the time we get back, it will be Chinese New Year."
"It's perfect to live in a new house during the Chinese New Year."
Ye Yaodong changed the subject, "How is the old lady's health?"
“She seems alright, but she’s reluctant to move in. She says that living with you is closer to the child, and she can keep an eye on the child every day. I said, if she lives alone at your place, who will take care of her? Let her live here with me, and she can get some exercise by walking over every day.”
"As long as you're healthy, that's fine."
“It’s great. I walk around every day with my cane and I can chat with anyone I meet on the street.”
"I'll put a phone line at your new house another day, so that when I call, someone has to come all the way to your place to call for help."
“That’s what I was thinking too. There’s no one home right now, so the phone is just sitting there. Only the old lady comes over every day and sits at the door to answer the phone and then sends the kids to pass on messages to me. Otherwise, the phone just keeps ringing and no one answers.”
"Why don't you just go to the post office and apply to have my phone number transferred to yours?"
"Is this okay? What documents and procedures do I need to bring?"
"Just take your ID card and go over there and say so."
"okay."
"Just wait to receive the fishing boats. Those dozen or so boats at the town's port will be under your management. I've also asked Chen Baoxing to go back with you. If you don't understand anything, just ask him. As for shipping, a few salesmen will handle it. You just need to oversee the overall coordination."
"Baoxing is back too? That's good. It's also a good thing I can read now, otherwise I would be completely lost."
"Ah."
After Ye Yaodong finished speaking with his father, he asked his father to hand the phone to the old lady.
I just chatted with the old lady for a while, and now I have to hang up. I'll say a few more words and give her some advice.
This old man is getting old, and it's dangerous for him to walk around every day. Fortunately, he's still in good spirits. Now that he has a son named Ye Chenghe, the old man has another precious little grandson.
I just don't know when Ye Chenghai's baby will be born. I guess he won't be able to bring it back; it will definitely have to be in the provincial capital.
It's not good to marry a wife who lives too far away; half of your son will end up belonging to someone else.
