Chapter 1615 Going to sea
Before the Lunar New Year, he sent all the boats that needed maintenance to the shipyard. Now, to arrange for the fishing boats to go out to sea, he has to bring the boats back.
The ships were all well taken care of at the shipyard, and their hulls were cleaned thoroughly.
He thought it was a wise decision to put the fishing boat in the shipyard for maintenance, as it would also help him keep an eye on the boat, since regular maintenance was necessary anyway.
After all the fishing boats were sent out to sea, everyone in the factory who was previously idle started working again. There were fewer people walking around, and everyone was busy in the workshops and warehouses.
Ye Yaodong was busy for more than a week to sort out the factory affairs. Then he sent a batch of goods back to town and summoned his father over.
He plans to make one last trip to Shanghai before heading to the deep sea to check on the progress of the fishing boats and machinery.
After all, this trip might last for several months before they return, so they need to make all the necessary arrangements before leaving.
This year, he plans to take advantage of the fact that the ship is the largest in Hong Kong to increase the processing plant's capacity and build a good reputation. He expects this year's performance to be better than last year's.
Moreover, he was still thinking about the exhibition slots promised by the government, so he naturally left that matter to Manager Qi to follow up on; he certainly didn't have time to deal with these trivial matters.
Ye's father waited until he had finished processing the goods on his ship in town and received payment before setting off.
After Ye's father came up, he said something else.
Since his leg was broken, Ye Yaohong has been living with his wife and son. He would point at them and curse them every day, but when his sons raised their fists, he would cower and be timid. Later, he went to live with his parents.
He hadn't even lived there for a few days when, while they were away, he stole their retirement money and tried to sneak out of the village. However, an old lady in the village spotted him and called for help to bring him back.
Although the old men and women in the village are old and useless, and only sit and bask in the sun, they keep a close eye on the village roads. No matter if a stranger enters the village or a villager goes out, they can see it all.
Ye Yaohong hadn't even stepped out of the village when he was discovered, arrested, and brought back. His wife and children were also notified.
This guy is now universally hated in the village, his reputation is completely ruined. The money he owes is now being carried by his sons, and the villagers are all counting on his sons to slowly save up money to pay it off. Naturally, they won't let the culprit get away.
After he was taken back, his family checked him and found nothing missing, but they did find more than 1000 yuan on him.
Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye immediately checked their coffin money and found that they had lost it. They were so angry that they beat Ye Yaohong up as well, and then ignored him and sent him back to their own home.
He stole money for the second time, and his sons warned him that if he did it a third time, they would send him to jail.
They originally wanted to break one of his hands, but the neighbors all stopped them, and Ye Yaohong's wife also stopped them, saying that it was too cruel to treat his father like that, since they were both still unmarried, and they should not do such a thing.
Otherwise, no one will dare to marry into their family in the future, and no good family will dare to marry their daughter.
It's terrifying to even hear that; they could break your own father's legs and arms.
Breaking his leg is understandable, but breaking his arm as well is going too far, after all, he's his own father.
So all we can do is give them a warning and give them one last chance.
Ye Yaodong's first reaction was, "Then it would be better to just send them in directly. It would save a lot of trouble. I wouldn't have to worry about taking care of myself in old age, or about my family's money being stolen or my family running away. The whole family could live a comfortable life."
"How can you send it in? If it's money stolen from your own family, the police definitely won't care."
"Naive. Just relax on the surface, then spend some money to have someone he knows induce him to do something bad, and he'll be caught red-handed. Sending him to jail will be perfectly logical, won't it?"
Mr. Ye looked at him in surprise, "How do you know so much?"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. "What's so difficult about that?"
"I understand. You're planning to find this method to send Lin Jianqiang back in next year after he's released?"
"Dad, I think we should look to you for long-term vision and the ability to apply what you've learned to other situations. I haven't even started thinking about how to do it yet, and you've already figured it out? You're brilliant."
Mr. Ye was stunned for a moment. "No, wasn't this what you planned? I was just going along with what you said."
"I didn't think that way. You said it yourself. Fine, we'll do it your way then. I'll listen to you."
"no……"
Ye Yaodong put his arm around his father's shoulder, gave him a nudge, interrupted him, and told him to head towards the dormitory building.
"Go ahead and rest first. I'll tell you about recent events tomorrow, and then I'm going to Shanghai the day after tomorrow."
"Oh."
Mr. Ye looked at him as if he wanted to say something, but he had already turned around and gone back to his office.
Ye's father had no choice but to give up and take his luggage back to the dormitory building.
Ye Yaodong had scheduled his trip to the deep sea for five days later. He had chosen that day specifically to bring good luck.
Since he was away from home these past few days, he entrusted his father with the preparation of some supplies.
Once he returns from Shanghai, he can simply check the stockpiled supplies at the dock.
When the Dongyu No. 1 returned to port and docked at the pier, it once again attracted attention.
It just didn't cause as much of a sensation as when it first came back.
When he went to check, his boat was the only one still moored at the surrounding docks; the other boats had already rushed out to make money.
People coming and going at the dock were all speculating about why the ship had been docked for so long and hadn't gone out to sea.
On the day of departure, he brought a large group of people dressed in matching blue cotton-padded coats to the dock, and people started pointing and whispering about him again.
"Oh, Dong Sheng Fisheries is going out to sea..."
"There are a couple hundred people here, so many?"
"What Dong Sheng Fisheries?"
"You don't know, do you? The biggest ship in the whole port belongs to Tung Sing Fisheries. It was docked in the port last year and we haven't seen it for a while. It's docked there again recently. They must be going out to sea soon."
"I heard that their fishing company is privately owned, not state-owned. That's really impressive; they have a very strong background."
"Huh? They've gotten separated..."
"They must have gone to another mooring place. They have so many boats, all different sizes..."
Ye Yaodong and his group wore matching factory uniforms, making them the most eye-catching presence wherever they went, with their large numbers and conspicuous clothing.
Wherever they went, people would make way for them.
He didn't do anything special; he was also wearing the same factory uniform, except he wore an extra windproof mask.
“You all follow your respective captains. The Dongyu No. 1 crew can stay and come with me.”
"receive."
Ye Yaodong waved the walkie-talkie in his hand, "Make sure you have the walkie-talkie. Later communication reports can be made via the walkie-talkie or the ship's shortwave radio."
"clear."
Ye Yaodong told them to split up and went to Dongyu No. 1 himself.
He assigned 58 men to the ship, all of whom were veterans and had been reassigned.
Then some of the veterans from the cargo ships were transferred to other ships. The captain, first mate, second mate, and chief engineer remained the same; only the ordinary crew members were replaced.
New recruits are placed on the fresh produce ship or the Dong Sheng ship to train and gain experience for a period of time.
All fifty-odd people followed him aboard the Dongyu No. 1. Some of them had worked on the Yuanyang, while others were just ordinary crew members. They all needed to get used to each other.
After Ye Yaodong boarded the ship, he told them to listen to the boatswain and to make preparations first.
He also went up to the cockpit to check, and everyone performed their duties and followed instructions.
An hour later, after he reported that all the inspections were completed and everything was normal, he pressed the horn and issued the instructions.
"Untie the tail cable, leave the head cable and reverse the cable!"
This is the standard procedure for leaving the moor against the current, using the water flow to naturally push the stern away.
The fishing boat started moving slowly, and the rudder angle was slowly adjusted to 15° to the left, with bluish-white foam rising from the stern eddies.
After their fishing boat entered the channel, other fishing boats also reported that they were casting off their mooring lines one after another, following the trajectory of Dongyu No. 1 like geese in formation.
As dawn broke, the Dongyu No. 1, like a lead whale, sailed out of the channel and onto the sea, followed by seven "Yuanyang" ships, each over 40 meters long, lined up neatly.
P.S.: Here's a new chapter. There will be another chapter around 2 or 3 AM, so don't wait.
