Chapter 1705 Handover
Wherever their fleet passed, all the fishing boats, large and small, in the coastal waters were shocked. They stopped fishing and hurriedly hauled in their nets to follow behind.
Those with communication equipment had already started communicating, while those without used loudspeakers to shout at nearby fishing boats, exchanging information with each other.
Everyone was curious: what was going on with a Japanese ship mixed in with a fleet of ships, and people on board?
"Dongzi, so many ships are following us, what should we do?"
"Nothing we can do, let them follow. Anyway, we'll be at the shore in less than two hours."
"Hehe, aren't we now the epitome of being the center of attention, surrounded by admirers?"
"You're overthinking it. Everyone's just curious and following along to see what's going on."
"They're all watching the show, so they've all stopped fishing and stopped trying to make money?"
"You can make money anytime, but once this excitement is over, you might not see it again for decades."
"Haha, that's absolutely right."
Three boats were running ahead, towing one boat in the middle, with more than a dozen boats surrounding them, and twenty or thirty boats of various sizes trailing behind. The closer they got to the shore, the more fishing boats they attracted, making the trailing boats even more spectacular.
No one knew how those ships of all sizes communicated, but that didn't stop them from secretly enjoying themselves.
This was because they attracted fishing boats on their way to the port instead of heading towards the fishing grounds.
At the same time, they also received a message from the official online trolls on the public channel, saying that people could hardly see the continental shelf anymore. They heard the public channel was in an uproar and quickly contacted them.
Ye Yaodong quickly reported the coordinates, thinking that he was almost at the shore but the other party had not yet set off. Unexpectedly, according to the old coordinates given before, they went in the opposite direction.
Fortunately, it wasn't too far away, and it should be able to drive over in a few hours, he said as he drove.
Ye Yaopeng asked with concern, "Dongzi, what did our online army say?"
"They didn't say much, just reported the coordinates. They're on their way now and also took the opportunity to find out about the other ship and the people on board."
"So, when they arrive, should we hand over the ship and the people to them?"
"Of course, otherwise you'd have to treat the rest of the boatload of people to dinner, wouldn't you?"
"How can we do that? How are we going to ask them for the money then?"
"Make appeals to our online army, put it in a righteous and awe-inspiring way, put on some high praise, say that international friendship is encouraged nowadays, we have helped them so much, we did not leave them at sea, we took the initiative to help them when they encountered difficulties, we directly escorted them to shore, and we even helped them request official support."
"Alright, alright, then when the leaders arrive, we'll have a proper talk when we hand over the ship and the people."
"Of course, everyone should cooperate and say nice things. Whether we can take a big bite out of the other side depends on our performance later."
Ye Yaohua said, "We need to have the leaders negotiate. Should we slow down and wait a bit?"
"It's okay. We've already agreed on where we'll dock. Waiting at the pier or port is fine too."
"More and more boats are coming to watch the excitement from behind."
"Don't worry about it, just let them see it if they want."
As they got closer to the shore, the line behind them grew larger and larger, and as they slowed down, the line in front of them became increasingly congested, causing quite a stir.
As he approached the coast, he could barely move an inch, unable to even navigate to the harbor channel for the larger ships.
Ye Yaodong quickly switched to the traffic channel. The person on duty on shore had been calling out on the channel for a long time, and he finally got through.
He gave a brief account of the situation and mentioned that the naval vessel was just behind them and would arrive in two or three hours to take over and hand over the foreign fishing boat.
"...Comrade, that's the situation. So now we need to trouble you to maintain order at sea. More and more ships are getting closer, and we can't move an inch here. It's causing a traffic jam in the waterway."
The VTS commander was still in shock from beginning to end. Only when he heard that traffic order needed to be maintained did he quickly realize what was happening and immediately dispatched port vessels to evacuate people at sea.
"Comrade, don't dock yet. If your boat docks, things will get complicated later."
Ye Yaodong thought about it and agreed. After all, it was too special. Foreign fishing boats could not be allowed to come into contact with local fishing boats or other people. He had to hand them over to the authorities completely.
"Then you disperse the fishing boats, and I'll drift at sea until the navy comes to hand them over."
"It's arranged, please wait a moment."
All available port vessels have been notified and are being mobilized to evacuate the area.
It's quite rare to see all the ships at sea concentrated in one place, creating a complete blockage.
It's usually only crowded when a typhoon ends and people are leaving the port. When have we ever seen such crowds coming back from the port?
After Ye Yaodong finished his discussion, he waited for the port maintenance vessel to come and clear the blockage.
Then they switched from the traffic channel to the public channel, which was noisy and bustling, like boiling water. Their own people were already bragging on the public channel, making the captains of the big ships who could access the channel envious and jealous.
The small boats nearby were just there to watch the spectacle, and then they would gather some useful information from the larger ships around them before spreading it further.
Ignoring the commotion on the channel, he took out the camera he had brought with him and went up to the deck to take a picture.
He had already taken photos of the fishing boats at sea yesterday while sailing during the day. Now that we're closer to the coast, there will be more fishing boats, making it even more spectacular.
I've taken the photos. I'll develop several and take them back to the ancestral hall to display, and we can also burn them for our ancestors.
The captain approached with a beaming smile, "Dongzi, now our Dongsheng Fisheries is really something! The whole dock and even the whole city know that we seized an intruding Japanese fishing boat at sea and even towed them back with their boat. That's awesome!"
"It's a beautiful sight, but so many fishing boats are surrounding us, it's completely blocked, we can't move at all."
"The port authorities have already come to evacuate the area. They're on the outskirts. Do you want to take a few more photos? They'll definitely be in the newspapers, and they'll definitely ask us for more pictures."
"I've already taken several photos, that's enough. There will definitely be reporters coming to take photos later, so I'll just ask them for a few photos from different angles."
"Okay, okay, when you get a few more sheets printed, give me one too, so I can take it home and stick it on the wall."
"Once the fishing boats have dispersed a bit, let the other boats dock and unload their cargo first, and also notify the factory to come and pick up the goods."
"Understood, I'll go and inform them right away."
Ye Yaodong estimated that the navy's ships would arrive at least two hours later, and the evacuation of fishing boats here wouldn't be that quick either. There was nothing he could do now, so he could only stay put and wait.
It was more than two hours later when the port authorities had evacuated all the fishing boats from the dock, and they slowly emerged from the channel one by one.
With so many ships, it was difficult for them to move forward or backward. By the time they returned to the middle of the sea, the navy had arrived.
Everyone was excited. Ye Yaodong had originally planned to have them unload the goods first, but now no one wanted to leave.
They cleared a path, allowing the naval ships to approach first, while the port maintenance ships naturally followed suit, all eager to get the first scoop on the news.
Ye Yaodong came down from the wheelhouse and watched as the naval leaders came aboard their fishing boat first.
"You're the owner of Dongsheng Fisheries? You're so young!"
"Yes, it's me, hello..."
The other person smiled and shook hands with him. "My name is Qiu Zhuoqun. I've heard the leaders mention you before. You're amazing. Last time, you even saw through the Japanese devils' scheme and helped us destroy their lighthouse plan on the reef. Today, you've done something big again."
"No, isn't this what we should do? We can't just sit idly by when we encounter this."
"I've heard a lot more than just this one thing. I heard that the leaders have arranged for many veterans to be sent to your factory. That's great, young man. You have a high level of awareness and you can even help solve the employment problem for veterans."
Ye Yaodong smiled modestly and said, "Not at all, I was just trying to help the leaders. Originally, my nephew was worried about his comrade's family's financial difficulties and wanted me to arrange a few positions for him. I didn't expect it to alarm the leaders, and then more and more positions were arranged for him."
"You've helped solve a major problem and made a significant contribution."
Qiu Zhuoqun glanced around at the boatmen standing on the deck and said with a smile, "Looks like you've all come aboard."
The veterans who had served in the military all stood up straight and gave a military salute!
"Do a good job and don't embarrass our naval fleet."
The veterans responded loudly.
"Getting back to the main point, this fishing boat got into a conflict with a Taiwanese fishing boat, and then the Taiwanese fishing boat tripped it up by getting its propeller tangled in its net, so it can't move?"
"Yes, that's right. They were still fishing in our waters. We put aside our past grievances and helped to tow their fishing boat back when it couldn't move. Now it's time to hand it over to you for processing."
Qiu Zhuoqun nodded, "DYD is ours, and the surrounding waters and fishing grounds are naturally ours as well."
"There's another thing. We kindly towed their ship back to deal with it, but it had already gone deep into our own waters. As a result, their patrol ship also appeared there. This is an intrusion. I've taken pictures of it."
"Is that so? Then you need to develop the negatives and give them to us to handle."
"must."
"Then we'll take the ship and the people with us for now, and wait for the leaders to negotiate. You've maintained order in our waters and helped our international friends; the country will not forget you."
Ye Yaodong nodded, then smiled and said, "Can we state our demands?"
"You said."
“We had more than a dozen boats escorting that Japanese fishing boat to shore, which took three days and two nights. It was quite a hassle and disrupted our fishing. We were just doing our part in accordance with international conventions, so they should give us appropriate compensation and cover our losses, right?”
Qiu Zhuoqun nodded in agreement. "You're right, that's only right. They should compensate you for the reward and the losses. Register your fishing boat and personnel, I'll report back and tell the leaders about your demands. You've made such a great contribution and helped international friends, you deserve a reward."
Ah Zheng, who was standing nearby, came over at some point and interjected, "Can we ask for more? We catch 20,000 fish a day, and this trip has delayed us for three days and two nights. Dongzi's fish-collecting boat can easily collect 300,000 fish in one trip."
Xiao Xiao chimed in, "That's right. I heard their economy is really good. The workers who go out to sea earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month, compared to our 300 yuan a month, that's dozens of times less. So if we catch 10,000 to 20,000 yuan worth of fish, it's probably equivalent to hundreds of thousands of yuan for them."
Ah Guang said, "Their prices are different from ours, definitely dozens of times higher! They come to our waters to fish, and then sell them at high prices back to their own country, making all the money. We have to make them lose a lot of money."
Captain Zhang also shouted, "Not only that, they also arrogantly sailed their patrol boat into our territorial waters, almost to the nearshore waters. Now we have evidence, photos, and their boat is in our hands. We have to make them pay a hefty compensation."
……
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, but the gist of it was that they wanted to make them pay a hefty sum that would cripple them.
Qiu Zhuoqun listened with a smile, "I have noted down everyone's demands, as well as the amount of compensation and reward they want from the other party. I will report back to them."
After saying that, he asked his assistant, "Have you written down the list of fishing boats and the amount they are demanding?"
“I wrote it down, and I also wrote down how many people were involved in each one.”
"Alright, thank you for your hard work on this trip. We'll take that boat with us first, and then we won't delay your fishing."
Ye Yaodong said politely, "I'm grateful to the leaders for handling the follow-up troubles. If you have any news, please call any of the phone numbers left above. They are all my factory's phone numbers."
"must."
After they finished speaking and made a record, they quickly returned to their own ships and then mobilized manpower to arrange the fishing boats.
During their previous exchanges, the online army had already sent translators to negotiate with the other party, and the handover is now proceeding smoothly.
There were many fishing boats watching the commotion, but none of them dared to get close. There were port control vessels nearby that did not allow these fishing boats to approach easily.
All people could do was crane their necks and watch the people on the huge ships talking and guessing.
After handing over the hot potato, Ye Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone with a smile, "Perfectly resolved. I'll let you know when there's any progress. It'll probably take at least half a month to a month, but there's no rush."
"Okay, then let's get back to our own boat and get ashore to unload the cargo as soon as possible before heading out to sea again."
"Go."
They waited until the naval fleet towed away the Japanese fishing boat before sailing to the corresponding cargo terminal to unload the cargo, but they kept talking over the walkie-talkie.
"We just had a good talk, right? They should respect our demands, right?"
"Probably? From an international perspective, we did nothing wrong, and we even did a good deed! From the perspective of our own national righteousness, we can be considered to have captured them. Who told them to come to our waters to steal fish! We have to drag them back to warn them."
"Is it reasonable for us to ask for 5 per boat?"
"That's definitely not an exaggeration!"
"What is 5 to them? The workers on their boats earn more than 1 a month. Besides, they are stealing our fish to sell and consuming our resources. Now we are just making them give back a little bit."
"Let's wait for their notification and see what they say. Anyway, we can't back out of it."
"Dongzi, how long did it take before you were notified to collect your awards the past two years?"
Ye Yaodong said, "It'll take almost a month. Their procedures don't take that long, especially considering the international situation involved. There'll probably be a lot of wrangling around."
Ye Yaopeng nodded, "Well, they won't renege on their promise anyway, so let's just wait patiently."
He urged again, "Now that things are settled, hurry up and unload the cargo. After you're done, we'll continue fishing. Don't delay our main business. If we don't fish for a day, we'll lose 20,000 to 30,000 yuan."
"Oh, isn't it several thousand yuan?"
"Didn't the prices all increase earlier? That's only a matter of twenty or thirty thousand."
"Then hurry up and unload the goods."
Ye Yaodong's boat hadn't done anything when it went out; it had only collected a load of miscellaneous goods. Now that the fishing boats had all returned, it could continue collecting miscellaneous goods from other boats, so it wouldn't be idle.
"Old Zhang, since the fishing boats ahead are queuing up to unload, could you arrange for them to come over first, scoop up the miscellaneous fish, and process them into fishmeal in the hold? Doing it from both sides will save some time."
"receive."
"I'm going back to the factory after I disembark. You can arrange the handover of the cargo on the fishing boats first. Let me know when the other boats have finished unloading and are ready to return to sea. I'll make arrangements for that too. The Pioneer No. 1 and No. 2 will come separately, so they don't have to go together this time."
"Understood, received. You can go back to the factory now. If anything happens or there are any problems, I will call you."
"okay."
While their fishing boats had dispersed, the fishing boats on the sea were still discussing the matter, and the news had long since reached the shore.
The shore was already packed with people when they handed over the fishing boats; now the foreign fishing boats were nowhere to be seen, and the people were still there.
When Ye Yaodong secretly went ashore, he could still hear everyone talking excitedly.
"...Dongsheng Fisheries is really awesome, they even seized the Japanese ship and towed it back with the crew."
"Yes, who can argue with that? The online army just came out and handed over the people and the ship."
"That's impressive! I heard they have dozens of ships, which is why they were able to easily detain people without losing a single soldier."
"Oh dear, I heard they put it very nicely, saying it's not called detaining them, but helping them reach the shore."
"Tch~ That's just for outsiders to hear."
"Those people deserve to die. They even came here to steal fish. They're shameless, coming all this way to steal them."
"We should send fishing boats to steal from them too."
"Pah, we can't even catch enough fish ourselves, who cares about theirs?"
"I heard there are a lot of corals in their waters, so you can go there to steal corals. I heard that some boats have gone there to steal them. Those blood-red corals are very valuable. It's a matter of tit for tat."
As Ye Yaodong walked along, he heard all sorts of things being said, and when he heard about the illegal harvesting of corals in their waters, his mind was also stirred.
He worked for a boat owner in his past life! He knows a lot about boats!
Bringing back a boatload of goods can easily bring in millions; one trip can make you rich and make a fortune.
