Lin Xiuqing slapped him and said, "Why don't you sleep if you're fine? It's scary to sit up and laugh in the middle of the night. Seeing you sitting up suddenly, I thought you were having a nightmare."
Ye Yaodong turned around, hugged her, kissed her, and said cheerfully: "It was a sweet dream."
"What did you dream about?"
"I just laid there and did the math by myself, thinking that by the end of the year, our family's money would probably double."
"Where can I go to look around?"
"The income from a few boats is only a small amount. From the second half of the year, our bagged fish sauce will begin to be widely circulated and shipped in large quantities. This can be considered a large amount. Both of these are considered stable."
"Um."
"Now the dried fish in the store is basically stable, and they are steadily generating income. But if we want to double our family's money in the second half of the year, we don't rely on these three."
"Rely on your jellyfish, right, and sea urchins, right? The leader hasn't said whether I can borrow the equipment, so we can only go into the water one after another, two people, at most, small heads."
Lin Xiuqing didn't take what he said seriously. Their family did make more money in the second half of last year, but it was less than 100,000 yuan. How could they double it?
Even if there is one more fresh-harvesting boat, it will be equal to the small boats last year, and the total accumulated profit will be half. How can we double it?
"Have you forgotten? I also bought lighters. The lighters have been sold faster and faster in the past few months, but now there are some inferior imitations. You won't be able to rely on this in the long term, but you can still make a lot of money in the short term.
Pen."
"The most important thing is that we can't make money through retail sales, we must rely on dividends. Last year, the profit was very high, and in just the beginning of the new year, we have directly transformed from a small workshop to a large factory."
"Everything I earned last year was basically invested in it, and I also used it to clear the way. I went to Fang Jingfu several times this year and said it went smoothly. At most, I took care of all aspects."
"So by the end of the year, there will definitely be a very considerable dividend."
Lin Xiuqing felt that it made sense after hearing his analysis. She left out the lighter factory mainly because they invested less money last year and had no money last year.
This year, they said they were setting up a large factory, buying land, hiring people, and buying machinery to expand. They also said that dangerous goods like this need to be managed.
So she had always regarded it as investing most of the money she earned. Even if she divided it, it probably wouldn't be much, and she didn't take it seriously. They didn't lose money in the first place.
"You've already calculated one thing after another before it's even happened."
"I'm so happy. Doesn't this make you excited?"
"Let's wait until the end of the year. I'm happy now. Who knows what will happen then? If you haven't earned any money all day long, you've already forgotten it. Go to bed quickly. What time is it? It's so late at night. I'm still thinking about this.
As soon as it comes out.”
"It's in the middle of the night, and it's especially easy for your mind to have ideas in the silence of the night."
"Okay, okay, go to bed quickly, don't you have to go to sea at night?"
Lin Xiuqing impatiently pulled him to lie down together, covered him with a quilt, and then turned to her side to sleep.
I'm so sleepy, and I have to listen to him here calculating the money he hasn't earned yet.
I have really drawn a lot of cakes, and I have become proficient in drawing myself. Why not calculate how much money I can earn in 10 years?
She cursed in her mind, turned over and fell asleep quickly.
Ye Yaodong ignored her thoughts, put his hands behind his head, looked at the mosquito net for a while and then closed his eyes.
After Mazu's birthday, Ye's father went to sea with his men on the Dongsheng as usual, while Ye Yaodong was at home catching up on the flood season and salvaging the ground cage.
They went out to sea to catch squid for as many days as the squid flood season lasted. Except for a few rains during the period, they did not go and rested at home.
The income this year was also very average. After the birthday celebration, it rained a lot intermittently, which affected everyone, so that just after it ended, everyone focused on the jellyfish and kelp that were two months old.
I was originally scared last year, but money is a courageous thing. Last year, more than half of the people made a lot of money.
So not long after the flood season ended, someone came to his door and asked him what he planned to do this year.
How to do it? How else to do it?
Ye Yaodong asked them to act according to the rules. The regulations were given last year.
He only said that he would go there in advance and ask them to fill out the application form they filled out last year again. When he left, he would take him with him to help them submit the application. When they went there, they would have a fishing license to use.
Having said that, I am very grateful. It is the best thing to have someone help me handle it in advance. It also saves them from being unable to do anything in the past and having to wait to go through the process.
The news has spread in the village, and everyone is discussing whether to go this year.
But seeing that Ye Yaodong is planning to go, everyone is more inclined to go, after all, he is the backbone.
I also thought that since there are already regulations, a fishing license, and maritime patrols have been strengthened, it shouldn't be a big problem to be careful. The main thing is that I can earn more than at home.
Squid's earnings are not ideal, so he has to make up for his losses elsewhere.
Some people who don’t have boats at home originally worked for others, but are now considering kelp farming in the second half of the year. Village leaders have also posted production announcements during this period.
The breeding arrangement plan for the second half of the year has also been announced. It will be a collective unit. Each household who is interested can send one person to study. The work point system will be used, which everyone is familiar with.
The villagers responded one after another. Before it even started, some were already helping, rolling up their sleeves to deal with this year's aftermath.
The ropes used to grow kelp need to be cleaned before use the next year, and the piles on the seabed need to be brought back to avoid being stuck there and getting corroded.
Ye Yaodong worked on both sides during this period, and actually made better than anyone else. He salvaged ground traps at the same time, and then went to catch squid when the time came. He also hired three more people to join them in the water, and stayed on the shore by himself.
So not long after the squid flood season ended, he had almost cleared the ground around the reef, and it had even reached the bottom of the sea.
This made the few people who followed him out to sea very excited. It turned out that in addition to sea cucumbers, there was also a large river bank stuck upside down on the bottom of the sea. A small part was also covered with ground cages, but most of them were exposed on the bottom of the sea, standing there layer by layer.
, just like a small stone tablet.
If it hadn't been for the large amount of goods in those cages, including sea cucumbers, everyone would have squealed and pulled them all out.
When Ye Yaodong had cleared the ground cage to the bottom of the sea and paid off part of it, he also felt doubtful about asking the troops to borrow equipment.
More than half a month has passed, and there is still no reply from the godfather, which means it must not be that easy, and he may be called back.
Now he can only rely on the two machines in his hand to launch the fish and slowly salvage it. Fortunately, it is not in vain, and the goods of the bare ground cage are also a big profit.
When the bottom of the sea is almost clear, he will ask people to take turns to pry abalones. Anyway, it is still early before he goes to Zhejiang Province, so he will work slowly.
However, he was still a little unwilling. He had known that he should have let Lin Jishang do more tricks at that time. It was not because he felt that this thing was difficult to handle and was afraid of embarrassing others.
If I had known that he would be caught so soon, I would have gathered as much wool as possible.
After thinking about it, he felt that he still had to make sure. After all, with two more sets, the income would be doubled.
If you can borrow it, you can certainly take it to Zhejiang Province when the time comes.
When his father came back, he asked his father to look at the house.
He happened to have someone pry out a bucket of abalone, and three kilograms of intact sea cucumbers harvested from the ground cage that day were also kept. Jiang Yao also pried a basket.
When his father came back and someone was watching him, he took some time to straighten things up and took him to the city the next day to find out what was right.
Originally, he planned to equip the equipment with two more sets after the cage was cleared and there were no obstacles, and then work on it slowly.
Now it doesn't work, it's not going so well, so he has to go and ask around eagerly.
Director Chen was a little happy when he saw that he had brought so many goods again, and they were also high-end goods like abalone and sea cucumber that he had mentioned before.
"You need to borrow the equipment just now. I will give you half a day off in the afternoon to deliver it. It will be more convincing to have the items delivered to your door. It will show that we are not just trying to catch the autumn wind."
Ye Yaodong was pleasantly surprised, "Is there still a chance? I thought it was over."
"Originally, I refused, saying that I had never heard of a fishery association and would not lend it. I asked someone to prepare a report and an application form in the name of the fishery association. This must not be in my personal name."
"I was undoubtedly called back later. The application form was submitted and returned. It took a lot of time to go back and forth. But our official business must be done in a public manner, and it must be based on documents, and all the required procedures must be in place.
"
"After I was called back, I called directly. It took a lot of effort to explain that during this period, our Ocean Bureau would apply to the institute for a visit and to apply for breeding. They have also been submitted.
After reporting it, the troops were shaken."
"I will bring these over later to prove that they are indeed taken into the water to salvage them to supply the institute."
"But you have sent too much, so you can't have so many..."
Ye Yaodong smiled and said: "You have to keep some for yourself. I originally wanted to take more to honor you. One ginseng a day will keep you away from all kinds of diseases. This sea cucumber is a good thing for strengthening the body."
"Oh, having several sons is of no use at all. They are not as good as you." Director Chen sighed with emotion.
"Isn't he half a son now? There is no difference."
"Haha, yes, I will bring it up in the afternoon, and I will ask for an accurate letter on the spot. There is a big difference between where the person is and where the person is not. There is a big difference between communicating by letter and by phone. If you want to show off your face, you have to
Let people see your face first. Don’t rush back today. Come back tomorrow. If possible, maybe you can take it back directly tomorrow.”
"That would be great!"
"I can't guarantee it 100%. I can only try my best. If I can't bring it back to you tomorrow, then there's no hope."
"Okay, forget it if you don't succeed. Anyway, just do your best to obey fate and work hard."
"Well, then you can come back tomorrow morning. I have to go to work to ask for leave first."
"Okay, please excuse me godfather, I won't take up your time here."
Ye Yaodong went back after finishing speaking.
He went directly to the factory in the city and stayed in the factory for one night. By the way, he also took a look at the accounts that Huang Mei had done recently. They were much clearer than those done by his father-in-law, and the handwriting was also beautiful.
Moreover, with the buffer of more than half a month of accounting and running in with other people, she has become very skilled at the job and has adapted well in the factory.
Even those unmarried boys like to hang around her, but this young girl is the only one left.
Ye Yaodong only reminded them to be careful and didn't care about anything else. Who doesn't like juicy Chinese cabbage?
Early the next morning, he rushed to the family home before work time, and Director Chen was already waiting for him.
As soon as he entered the door and before he sat down, Director Chen said: "I have made arrangements for you. The two sets of equipment are temporarily hung in the fishery association to support the development and construction of the fishery in this city. As for when they will be returned, it depends.
When do they want it?"
Ye Yaodong was overjoyed. After talking yesterday, he thought it was very possible to get it.
Now that he got the right words, he felt at ease and finally got it done.
As for when to return it, let's talk about it. We have everything in hand, and there are plenty of excuses to shirk it.
"When are we going to get it? Can we go now?"
"Okay, I'll just wait until you come over. Come on, I'll take you there. You have to let the soldiers practice and teach you how to use it."
"Okay, thank you godfather. You have been busy running back and forth for this matter for so long."
"I'm just here to help you with a little help. It doesn't take much trouble. I just need to make a trip. I usually get so much respect and concern from you. This is nothing. Let's go. Go quickly. I still have to go to work.
Yeah, I guess I'll have to take another two hours off."
…
It was almost 10 o'clock by the time Ye Yaodong drove Director Chen to the unit on his tractor. The remaining time was probably enough for him to write a leave request and then get off work again.
Ye Yaodong hummed a song and drove the tractor home. This trip was really not in vain.
Let's just say, you can't sit still and wait for death.
How can you get others to help you if you don't even come forward?
As soon as he went to the army, someone recognized him and exchanged greetings with him. Director Chen introduced him in detail, saying that he was the vice president of the Fisheries Association and his godson. He was instantly worth a lot.
No longer the salty fish guy selling dried fish...
Ye Yaodong knew about it, and some people just called him Xianyu Lao. People around the village knew that his name was Ye Yaodong, and they would call him Xianyu Dong. People outside would just call him Xianyu Lao.
At first he almost lost his breath and vomited blood. Will shouting "boss" cost someone's life?
Fortunately, we got to know each other well, and with the help of Director Chen, the matter was completed. He also signed the application form and took the equipment away.
In fact, the two sets of equipment he received were very crude and old-fashioned, and could not compare to what he wore when he watched them salvage bronzes in the village a few years ago.
They are probably those that have been eliminated and are no longer needed, so they are relatively easy to get.
We can't expect too much these days. The country's industry has just started, and we can't expect much advanced equipment. Now we still have to rely on imports, and technological reforms are not changing that fast.
One of the reasons for the continuous technological innovation of this type of equipment is wealth, wealth from the ocean.
Many merchant ships and pirates sailed on the sea, but due to storms or the ship itself, many treasures on board, such as gold, silver and jewelry, sank to the bottom of the sea.
Even now, there are still many sunken ships waiting for people to salvage and explore them, and the current exploration is just the tip of the iceberg.
Wetsuits are made partly for salvaging jewelry and partly for rescue missions.
Although they have been eliminated, as long as they can be used, he is not picky, something is better than nothing.
By the time he got home, it was evening again, and Father Ye was puzzled when he looked at the strange things he had brought back.
"What are you talking about? Didn't you ask the leader to apply for the equipment in the army for you? What is this scrap metal for?"
"This is it. I only brought two sets of old-fashioned ones. As long as they can be used, I will show you when we go to sea tomorrow."
"That's it? Why does it look less reliable than the two of you?"
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Then are my two sets of equipment reliable?"
"It's reliable, but isn't it different? This one doesn't look very reliable."
"I'll show you tomorrow and you'll know. It's not very deep anyway."
"You said you were eliminated, why don't you forget it, in case there is any danger..."
"It is not produced by the army, it must be high-quality, and the eliminated ones will definitely be usable. I have repeatedly assured you."
"All right."
Others also looked around and felt that it was unreliable and too crude. However, Father Ye had already said it, so no one else said anything more.
The people who actually went into the water have gone back to rest long ago. The people in the workshop right now are all on duty. People who don’t feel pain in their backs when talking while standing are embarrassed to talk.
Because Father Ye wanted to see the effects of the two new sets of equipment he brought back, he did not sail on the Dongsheng the next day, but went to sea with him at the same time.
Ye Yaodong must set an example and show it to everyone, so that everyone dares to follow him.
The two new sets I brought back are actually simpler. They just put an iron shell-like hood on them, and then there is a connecting tube to input air into them.
The principles are the same.
He took Chen Shi into the water to demonstrate and successfully brought a bag of abalone up. Everyone cheered and confirmed that there was no problem.
He was also a little worried about whether he could go down to more than ten meters, so he thought that this equipment could be used to dig abalone directly, without having to go down to the bottom of the sea to collect ground traps to catch sea cucumbers.
The abalone on the reef is only three to five meters above the water surface, which is more suitable for this simple equipment.
It just so happened that the four people who went into the water divided their labors and cooperated, two went to the bottom and two went to the upper level in the sea.
Before coming out today, he also specially invited 10 more people. Originally, the staff had been expanded to 6, which could be rotated in three waves. Now the number has been increased to 16.
However, the 10 newly hired people are all novices, and he himself intends to train them. After all, when he brings them to Zhejiang Province, he will have to recruit more people, and they must all be able to go into the water.
He asked all newcomers to use simple ones, directly on the upper level.
Most people in the village know that he has equipment that can go into the water. He has a lot of property now, and he can assemble the equipment to salvage sea cucumbers and abalones, so everyone is not surprised.
And I heard about it yesterday and spread it around. He was recruited from the army. If there are connections behind the scenes, there is no need to be jealous.
He is so much better than ordinary people now that everyone is no longer surprised by the new things he comes up with from time to time.
New people who go to sea are somewhat eager to try it.
As long as they can hold on and go into the water without fear, they will be able to make a lot of money by going to Zhejiang Province. Last year, if they worked for just one month, they could earn around 100 yuan in wages.
Those who follow Ye Yaodong will stay longer and earn more.
Now everyone in the village is looking forward to selecting him, working for him, and making steady wages.
After Ye Yaodong's demonstration, he did not blindly let all the newcomers jump down. Instead, he explained it carefully and then let them get used to it first.
"If you can hold on down there, you will all come with me to salvage in Zhejiang Province. Those who go into the water will receive extra subsidies, which is higher than the salary for salvaging jellyfish."
"well……"
"Great, I've been looking forward to when you would recruit workers..."
"And working with me will definitely be safer and more secure than working with other people."
Everyone is a little excited, and this is obvious.
Ye Yaodong told them to be careful before letting them go down with the new ones.
After a wave of success, the confidence of the remaining people increased greatly.
However, some people are afraid and look at the bottom of the sea without being able to see the edge, so they want to float up.
There were five such people, which made the ratio half of them. However, seeing how they sighed, he gave him a second chance and thought about going there a few more times to try. If he could get used to it, that would be better.
Anyway, I have already been hired to go overseas, and my salary is calculated as one day.
After a whole day, only two of the novices could not overcome it, so we had to forget it.
Father Ye sat on the small bench all day, sorting with his hands, and watching them go up and down. He never failed to find abalone in a net bag or a few nets in a cage.
"This piece of crap is really good."
"Sure, I'm President Ye."
"Then if the dozen or so people you invited over have matured during this period, it will be more efficient to bring them to salvage sea urchins."
"Yes, that's right. There are still a few people on the Dongsheng that can launch water, which will be enough when the time comes."
"Then when do you plan to go? It's already the end of May."
"I went down to take a look. If I clear the cages down here for ten days and a half, they will be almost completely cleared. In another half month, I should be able to dig up all the abalones on the rocks, leaving only the rest.
Some of the ones that are difficult to dig in the gaps will be given to them to reproduce next year."
"Then it will be the middle of next month?"
"Almost, half a month is enough for them to become perfect with practice."
"You can just wait for the fresh harvest ship to deliver the goods and sail back, but then you will have to leave again, and the ship will be parked there when it returns, which is a waste."
"Who said that?"
"If you don't stop there, what else can you do? They have all gone to Zhejiang Province, and several ships must have gone there as well. Where are you going to collect the goods? From whom?"
"I have a use and I have arrangements. You will know when the time comes."
Father Ye glanced at him and said, "You are mysterious and full of crooked ideas. The people in the village have been building wooden boats there for the past few months. They all learned from you last year."
"Oh, if they follow the trend, they can only pick up what others have left."
"Then forget it if you don't tell me. Tell me how many people you plan to invite in advance. You have to call them in advance, otherwise you might not be able to call them later."
"I was worried that I wouldn't be able to call anyone, because I was afraid that everyone would be frightened by what happened last year."
"That's someone else. Why should I be afraid of following you? Everyone is eager to follow you. With such a high salary, working for a few months is worth working at home for a year."
"Let me add it up and tell you after I finish the calculation."
"Then you have to do it as soon as possible."
The two people next to them who had been eliminated and could not enter the water quickly took the opportunity to talk, and Ye Yaodong also directly agreed.
When the time comes, we will definitely need manpower to collect the fresh produce.
Thinking about it, he had a headache again. He had to take dozens of people with him alone, and more and more people were following him to make a living.
He is now being pushed to work hard to expand the market and explore ways to make money.
"After you go back, you have to contact the shipyard to see on which day the harvest ship can be brought back."
"Just ask Ah Hai and let him convey it."
"Ah Hai has learned well this year. He has grown up and matured. He will graduate in half a month. He will be a formal apprentice. After a few years of training, he will be a skilled worker and can be called a master."
"Let's see. It's hard to say how well I can learn. It would be great if I join the army like A Yuan."
"That won't work. To be a soldier, you have to leave your hometown. I don't know where to serve as a soldier. He is the eldest grandson, so it is better to stay at home."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes quietly, speechless, and he has a grandson, do you have a family business to pass on to him?
Lin Guangyuan is also the eldest grandson, can't he go too?
"Do you still have a job quota at the village committee?"
"Um."
"I didn't take you back, did I?"
"How is it possible? Now the whole village is counting on me. I am the hope of the whole village. It is too late for them to fawn over me. How can they take back the quota?"
"That's true, then don't waste your quota. A Jiang and A Hai are only one year apart..."
"Don't worry, it's better to give the quota to girls. Why do boys need to be so stable? There is only one male in my second brother's family. I have to rely on him to help with many things. How can I make Ajiang so comfortable?"
He knew that his father must also be thinking about a bowl of water, but how can he use his quota as a favor? It is not like using it as a bowl of water to rob the rich and give to the poor.
His elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law always say that his parents are partial. In fact, his parents also want to have a bowl of water to balance things out. They have that intention, but if they have too many children, things will always be unfair.
It is better to leave the work of the village committee to the girls at home.
"Oh, they should have been allowed to have more children at that time."
"It's too late to survive now. Haven't you just grabbed and ligated them randomly now? When they are all beaten to death, it will be too late."
It's not yet time to conduct all-out sterilizations, and they only arrest pregnant women. He also forgot when it started, and it has evolved into going from house to house to arrest married women who have given birth to sterilizations.
I heard that unmarried girls were taken away for performance reasons.
well.
"How could I, a father-in-law, have caused the birth?" Ye's father muttered quietly, but Ye Yaodong seemed to have taken it to heart when he heard it.
Chapter completed!
