Ye Yaodong walked out of the dock again.
A cart had just been unloaded and was being pushed back.
Lin Xiuqing was also sweating profusely and her face was flushed. There were a few young men and women beside her who were helping to stack the goods together.
"Woke up?"
"When did you get up so early? You've already moved so much?"
"I thought I couldn't let them wait too long, so I got up an hour earlier and moved some things. Is the ship coming soon?"
Ye Yaodong looked at his watch and it was a little after 6 o'clock.
"It should be here soon. He called me and said 6 o'clock. Now it's past that time. He should be here soon."
The time for sailing at sea is not that accurate. Speed, wind speed and direction all have an impact.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, but the porridge at home is ready. I'll go to the village bun shop and buy some more for breakfast for everyone."
"Okay, why don't you buy all of them? You can also take them with you on the road."
"Okay, go ahead, I'll take a look here for a while."
"also."
"Call the Fatty by the way, don't drag it out and keep people waiting."
As soon as Lin Xiuqing left, the two old ladies around him said to him with a smile.
"Ah Qing is very capable, hardworking, and knows a lot."
"You two are a couple, one is outside and the other is at home, it's just right..."
Ye Yaodong also nodded, it was indeed good.
Good wife!
"The goods are coming again, move, move, move..."
Ye Yaodong also rolled up his sleeves and helped everyone move the goods.
After a while, Lin Xiuqing came over with a big basket and asked everyone to eat buns and steamed buns first.
He took a meat bun, said hello to everyone, and then the couple went home first. There was porridge cooked at home, so they went back to eat a little more to fill their stomach.
Everyone knows how to load and unload goods, so they don't need to keep an eye on this.
As they walked, Ye Yaodong told Lin Xiuqing about the two twins who were born in the morning.
Lin Xiuqing also laughed when she heard it.
"Those three are not easy to deal with. The two younger ones hide the chickens and ducks under the covers to play with. Pei Yu caught a small snake last month and kept it in a tin can, and put it on the table in the room. Huimei didn't know about it, and when she opened it, she was so scared that she almost fainted."
Ye Yaodong shuddered, "When you say that, my hair stands on end."
"Who said it wasn't?" Lin Xiuqing also rubbed his arms, "I don't know what this kid's hobby is, he likes to catch snakes."
"It must be A Guang. He didn't teach good things, but taught this. He led a good girl astray."
"It's really scary. Huimei can't even beat them all. These three are causing chaos every day."
"My daughter is still obedient."
"That's right. The one who seems to be making the most noise is indeed the most honest one."
People are afraid of comparison.
The two went home to have a meal, then one went to the workshop and the other went to the dock.
It was around 7:00 when we saw the shadow of the boat that was originally scheduled for 6:00.
They had almost moved all the goods and they were all piled up on the dock, waiting for the fishing boats to dock and take the goods aboard.
The ship on Linji is relatively large, so it can only stop in the middle of the sea, waiting for his small boat to transport the cargo over and then move it onto the ship.
Ye Yaodong had already directed his men to move a boat. As soon as he saw the large ship in the distance, he led his men to sail over.
When we passed by, the big ship had just stopped.
This is a cargo ship of more than 30 meters in length, and it looks like it has been modified.
"The wind direction was not good, so we drove a little slower and were an hour late."
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, the goods have just been moved and piled up at the dock. I didn't have to wait long. I just need your people to help me. I don't know how to pile the goods. You can figure it out."
"it is good."
People on both boats were busy moving the goods.
It took Ye Yaodong four ships to transport all the goods, and he also moved his own luggage and belongings onto the ship.
After the last boat was loaded, he did not return to the shore. He just let the workers in the workshop drive the boat back.
I have just explained this to Lin Xiuqing on the shore.
After the goods were loaded up, the ship started moving, and everyone was still on the deck moving and sorting the goods.
"Dongzi, when will you come back next time after this trip?" asked the fat man.
"You haven't even gone up yet, and you're already thinking about coming back?"
"Of course, it's not as comfortable as home."
"I thought you would feel more comfortable and at ease outside, where no one would bother you, and there would be a place of comfort, and your little sister would call you fat boss and fat brother all the time."
The fat man just coughed twice, stole a glance at the workers in Linji and around him, and glared at him, "Nonsense, that's impossible."
"You need to ask Boss Lin when he will be back. Maybe we can wait for him to come back so that we can take a favorable ship. Otherwise, it will be too difficult to wait for the cargo ship, and it will take too much time."
Both of them looked towards Lin Ji.
Lin Jishang said, "I'm not sure. Things don't get done that quickly. Anyway, I'll go and rent a few empty houses from your place. Is there any?"
"Yes, yes, yes. We still have more than a dozen houses left after the New Year."
"That's convenient. I'll stay in a few rooms at your place. When I leave for home, I'll let you know. If you want to take a boat, you can take my boat back."
"Okay, that's great. This will save a lot of trouble. If you set up a freight outlet there in the future, it will be more convenient for everyone. In case of emergency, we don't have to go out and ask around. We will naturally know which day the ship will come back."
“It will be convenient indeed.”
Ye Yaodong and Fatty were overjoyed.
By then, you will have specific round-trip times and be able to control them yourself, so it won’t be difficult for you to go out and then return home.
"The cargo has been sorted. You can go to the cabin and take a rest. We don't have many people with us and there are enough beds. I'll go to the cockpit."
"Okay, I'll trouble you on the way."
"I'll watch the first half, and you'll have to watch the second half. We don't know where to dock on the island."
"no problem."
After Lin Jishang left, the fat man bumped his shoulder and said, "You are smart. You know how to get people up there and set up a freight network."
"I didn't get him up there. He proposed it himself after he knew I was in Zhou City."
"With such a large fish farm and so many fish products, they must be transported out. It must be a good way to make money."
"If you want to make money, you have to have the ability to do it. Do you know how to make money? Do you have any connections?"
"I'm a cook, how can I make this kind of money? Even if someone gives it to me, I can't make any. No matter how capable I am, I can only eat as much as I can. I can only run a restaurant and deal with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."
"That's it. I can only catch fish and buy some more land at most."
"Why did you buy so much land? You can't use it."
"Then I can't use all the money I've saved. I've already bought a lot of boats. Why not buy some land? Land is the foundation."
"That's true."
The fat man thought for a moment and said, "I think he's quite dangerous. Would it be unsafe to bring him to your camp and rent him there?"
“Why do I feel more secure?”
He wasn't worried.
I won't pose any threat to Lin Ji, on the contrary, I'm doing him a favor.
I don’t know if it was my cousin or my uncle who had the accident at Linji, or if he notified them in advance.
Everyone does their own thing and does not affect each other.
Moreover, they are from the same village and have been in contact with each other for many years, so I know what kind of person he is.
Although he was considered a dangerous element before, he has turned over a new leaf now.
Everyone wants to rent his place, can he say no?
He could only welcome it warmly.
"sense of security?"
"Yes, we are all honest people. With him here, isn't it like having an extra layer of protection? Can a freight forwarder be an ordinary person? He must have some connections."
"It seems to make sense."
"Don't worry about it. It's none of your business. Just cook your food and go back to the cabin to sleep. You are a lunatic and are still here with me."
Ye Yaodong put his arm around his shoulder and walked towards the cabin. There was no one on the deck enjoying the fresh air at this time.
As they went up the road, the wind was blowing from the southeast all the way, which was equivalent to a slanted wind direction, so the speed could not be fast. They were not in a hurry, so they slowed down.
Even without stopping to rest along the way, it took them two days to get there.
It was already early morning on the 17th when we arrived, just in time for the busiest time at the pier.
When the fishing boats were queuing up to dock at the port, Ye Yaodong also gave Lin Jishang a detailed introduction to the port.
I'll explain it clearly now, and then let him go around on his own after we get ashore. The place is not big anyway, and you can get around it by bike in less than two hours.
He didn't know anything about freight, so he could only hope for the best.
Ye's father had received a call from him asking him to come up a long time ago, and had been waiting there, but he showed up in vain.
Not only did he call home, his family also called to ask about it.
I didn’t expect it to be the middle of the night.
Ye's father lived on the third floor, the farthest from the front door. He didn't know Ye had returned, but he heard the sound of the key turning in the door lock in his sleep and was so scared that he sat up and woke up.
"Dongzi?"
"Well, it's me?"
Father Ye quickly turned on the light, "Why are you back so late? I thought you would arrive at the latest tonight, but you're only here now. What time is it?"
Ye Yaodong checked his watch. "A little after 2 o'clock, but less than 3 o'clock."
"I'm glad we're here. Is everything okay at home?"
"That's great, but I'm worried that if I tell you, you'll be so happy that you won't be able to sleep tonight. I'll tell you tomorrow morning."
"How can I sleep if you talk like this?"
Ye's father's curiosity was aroused. How could he be so happy that he couldn't sleep? What good news could it be?
If nothing was said, he definitely wouldn't think about it. With his appetite already whetted, how could he sleep peacefully?
"I'll tell you tomorrow. I'm exhausted. I've been on the boat for two days."
Ye Yaodong didn't even pack his luggage. He just threw it into the corner and started taking off his clothes, pants and shoes.
Suddenly, Father Ye pinched his nose because of the stinky feet.
"It stinks, go wash your feet."
Ye Yaodong threw the smelly socks directly at his father, and then went out to wash his feet in slippers.
After coming back, Ye's father asked again what good thing had happened.
Ye's father only called back two days ago to ask when he would come up. He only asked for a specific time and hung up without asking any other questions.
Even though he has money now, he is reluctant to talk for too long because long-distance calls are too expensive.
He only talked to Ye Yaodong on the phone and never talked to anyone else, so he didn't ask, and Ye Yaodong didn't say anything on the phone, so he didn't know anything at all.
The other workers went out to sea early and came back late, and they would not call home without rest, so the people above them were still unaware of the major events happening in the village.
"I, your son, am on TV. It brings honor to our family!"
"What?"
"I'm on TV!"
Father Ye's eyes widened, and he lifted the quilt in surprise, and landed on his feet, "Really?"
"Of course, why else would it take me so long to come up here?"
Father Ye put on his slippers and circled around him excitedly, "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me about it on the phone? Why are you on TV all of a sudden? What's going on? Why did you tell me about it only now?"
Ye Yaodong climbed onto his bed, "You didn't ask, and you were so anxious on the phone. You hung up after just a few words in 58 seconds. What can I say? It doesn't matter if I know it earlier or later. You're not at home."
He also told his father how he got on TV, the process, the results, and even the reactions of the villagers. He described it vividly to his father so that his father could feel a sense of participation even though he was not at home.
Father Ye pounded his palm with his empty fist, "Oh, what a pity, I didn't go back with you, so I didn't see it. There's no TV here, and it can't be broadcasted. It's such a pity, this may be the only time in my life, and I didn't see it. It's so glorious! People from all over the province can see it."
"I went to see Secretary Chen the next day and asked him to get a copy of the videotape from the county. He agreed, but it won't be delivered so soon. I'll buy a video recorder when you go back and watch it."
"You still have the videotape? That's not bad, you can still watch it, but it's a pity that you weren't at home when such a big thing happened. You didn't even bother to call and tell me about it."
"What's the point of telling you? You can't see it. If I call you, there will be a message. I can only answer it if you call home. Who can I blame if you don't call back?"
"Aren't you worried about the phone bill?"
"I still owe that little money for phone bill?"
Ye Yaodong simply covered himself with the quilt and lay down.
Ye's father was still pacing around his bed with regret.
"Turn off the lights and go to bed."
"How can I sleep well after missing out on such a big thing?"
"If you don't sleep, I have to sleep. I told you that you definitely won't be able to sleep after I tell you, but you still insisted on asking me to say it."
"You've whetted my appetite. I can't sleep if you don't tell me."
Ye Yaodong covered his head with the quilt.
Father Ye continued to ask: "If it's on TV, can it also be on the newspapers?"
He pulled back the quilt and said, "Yes, the newspaper hasn't come out yet. I'll ask A-Qing to send a few more copies when it comes out."
"That's good. Then I can share it with everyone."
"Hurry up and go to bed. It's already 3 o'clock. If you don't want to sleep, go back to your own bed and don't hang around my bed."
Father Ye walked happily to his bed across from him, "Dongzi, you've been on TV and in the newspapers, is there any reward from the county?"
"We've already been given the biggest exposure, what more rewards do we need? There are some policy preferences, but the fish cannery in town has all the support it should have. As for the city, we have to ask about it someday. It's a very troublesome matter. We can do it when we have time."
"That's good."
"Turn off the lights."
"Okay, turn off the lights. We can talk about it after we wake up tomorrow."
Father Ye was so excited that he didn't need to sleep. He just closed his eyes and rested. Not long after, he got up when he heard the noise of people going out to sea outside.
When Ye Yaodong woke up at noon, everyone in the camp knew that he had been on TV. It would also be in the newspapers a few days later, and more newspapers would be mailed to him.
He had just squatted at the door to brush his teeth when a few people squatted in front of him and asked him about being on TV. He said that his father was so excited that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he got up to share it with them.
Ye Yaodong just nodded and responded with a few words. Fortunately, there were not many people around.
He asked everyone else, and the fat man hadn't gotten up yet.
Lin Ji got up at six or seven o'clock, took his people out, and no one cared about him.
However, Ye Yaodong still had a shipload of goods that had not been unloaded. It was too late when they arrived, and that time was not suitable for unloading. They were not going to set up a stall to sell the goods, so they were not in a hurry to unload the goods.
He planned to contact the layman after waking up from a sleep, and then ask the layman to drive to the dock to pick up the goods before unloading.
It doesn't matter when he unloads at Linji. He has to stay here for a few days at least. The cargo ship is parked there without being used, so it's okay to keep the cargo for a few days.
"Dongzi, can I tell you about the incoming and outgoing goods during this period?"
"Okay, let Lao You bring the account book over. I'll take a look at the account and you can explain it to me."
"You eat first, I'll tell you the general situation, and then you can look at the account book after you finish eating."
"it is good."
Today is the 17th. He left on the 24th, but didn't get home until the 28th. So based on the time between departure and return, it has been 21 days in total.
The trip back home wasn’t short, as it took a week to get there and back.
It’s really not easy to go back.
"I plan to deliver a shipment to Chen Jianian today, which will almost pay half of the bill. When we deliver the next shipment the day after tomorrow, we will receive the money from him."
"Well, that's pretty fast. It only took about 20 days for the money to come in. That's pretty good."
"The sooner we deliver the goods, the sooner we can start collecting money, so that the cycle won't be too long. If we supply more goods, we can also collect more money."
Ye Yaodong nodded while eating breakfast.
Father Ye continued to talk about the shipping situation over the past 20 days.
Chen Baoxing and Lao You also sat by the side waiting with their account books.
Ye Yaodong now felt like he was the real boss. As soon as he came back, everyone was waiting to report to him.
Now he doesn't have to do it himself, all these tasks can be carried out, and there are dedicated people to take charge of specific tasks.
He doesn't have to do everything by himself, calculate everything by himself, and keep himself busy like last year.
His father was also a great contributor.
The 20 days or so I was away were recorded separately in the account book.
Some days are at the end of last month and are recorded in last month's account, while this month's records are up to today, the 17th.
From the records so far this month, I have earned a little over 100,000 yuan. During this period, it was rainy and windy for more than a week, so the fishing boats did not go out to sea and were resting.
At the end of last month, more than 8 yuan was received, including the share and commission from other fishing boats.
It didn't matter that he was away at the end of last month, the account was there anyway and they could settle it.
"Please pay everyone's salary at the end of this month. We were released on March 3th, and the salary of the new employees who were released after the New Year will be calculated from this day to the end of May."
Ye Yaodong said this to Old You.
"The salary of the elderly starts from February 2st, and they will also be paid during the Chinese New Year. Except for the captain and the deputy, everyone else will get a 1% salary increase this year. Let's calculate it this way. The meal allowance will be increased by another 10 yuan per person. This will be calculated only from the time we arrive here. If it's less than a month, you can average it out to every day."
After all, generally speaking, half of the time you're at sea, and of course meals are provided on a fishing boat.
For the rest of the time, 10 yuan is enough for food.
In some months you may spend more time at sea, and in some months you may have more rest time, but overall you will be given a subsidy of 10 yuan per month.
Some people are more frugal. If they can't bear to spend money, they can build a coal stove and make something to eat when they are resting instead of going out to sea. Seafood is ready-made and doesn't cost much at all. Ten dollars is pure profit.
Old You was extremely envious when he heard about the good treatment the old man received. He was also a newcomer who had just started working after the New Year.
"Don't be envious. Your job is so easy. How long does it take to keep accounts every day? Besides, you and Chen Baoxing have separate meals. Next year, your salary will also increase by 10%. The longer you work, the higher your salary will be."
The two of them had a monthly package he arranged for them, allowing them to eat as much as they wanted. After all, they were in the camp all day, and his meals were of course free.
He could hardly eat many meals and was out all day long.
"Well, okay, I'm 50 years old and I won't be able to work for many more years. Now I can still get such a high salary, it's worth it."
"That's still too early. There are still at least 10 years to work on. If the country develops better and I get rich, I might even let you receive a pension."
"Isn't it a sure thing that you'll get rich?"
"You can't expect to make a fortune yet. When you figure out how much you'll have to pay at the end of the month, tell me and I'll pay you the salary in advance."
"Ok."
"Damn, there are more than 80 people. Some are paid for two months, and some for three months. That's tens of thousands of dollars."
"If you don't count the captain of the ship, it's probably over 3."
Ye Yaodong calculated the money he had earned in the past two months and suddenly he no longer felt sorry for it.
A drop in the bucket.
"Boss, the oil price has increased this month, so the gas expenses may be a little higher."
"understood."
"And I heard that there are hundred-dollar bills now."
What?
Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "Do you have a hundred-dollar bill?"
"Yes, the 4-yuan bill with four human heads. I heard it was just issued and is only in circulation on a small scale now."
Father Ye also said: "Yes, there are 100 yuan notes. I saw them in the hands of several bosses today, but they were reluctant to give them to me for settlement."
"That's great. We already have 100 yuan. We don't need to carry around a bunch of change taking up space. We'll go to the bank to change it later. 50 yuan notes are no longer rare. Let's change them for 100 yuan."
He knew that the 100 yuan note would be issued soon, but he didn't know the specific month and day.
I didn't expect to hear that there was 100 yuan right at the start, so I had to change it quickly. I now have more than yuan on hand.
Father Ye said quickly: "Then I will go with you later. It will be safer to bring a few more people."
"Well, there's no rush for this. It can be later. I have to do something else first."
I went out today, and the update will be around 2 am in the evening
