Chapter 1252 Profit(1/3)

The two of them walked around the pier, but unexpectedly they encountered another group of people fighting, apparently because the spot selling goods was occupied.

There was another scuffle between dozens of people, and the two of them watched from a distance.

"Damn... I just saw two groups of people starting to fight, and they were held down by the people next to them. I thought they couldn't fight, but I didn't expect that they were fighting again. It's really chaotic..."

Ye Yaodong also agreed, "Yes, it's really chaotic here..."

It was messier than any dock he had ever stayed at.

It was only the afternoon, not the time when there were the most people.

When I went to sea in my previous life, I was already too old and did not participate in the chaos of this era. Now I have encountered several of them in just two days here, and I have personally participated in them.

What a mess...

After renovations in a previous life, the docks were generally very orderly and not as chaotic as they are now.

"Someone is here to protect..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, how many people have to be arrested every day?"

"Hey, I ran away, my reaction was very fast..."

Ye Yaodong looked at the people fighting and stopped immediately. Before the security guards came over, he quickly carried the things onto the cart and pushed them away. He looked very skillful.

He is not a habitual offender, but he is used to it. He is very familiar with the rules on the dock, and both parties stopped without hesitation.

The two looked at each other and he said: "You still have to run fast!"

"Yeah, it's okay to fight. You still have to run fast. If you don't want things, people have to run away."

"Let's go back. I guess there are several cases every day, but we haven't encountered them yet."

The two of them walked around to check the progress of the fishing net before going home.

After returning, Ye Yaodong reassigned the people who would go out to sea the next day, and ordered 6 people to follow him out to sea, and asked 2 people to go out to longline fishing, leaving two people to look after the house.

The remaining 6 people were asked to go to sea with Uncle Zheng and others to learn how to use the radar net.

He thought about it for a while and decided that it would be better to listen to Uncle Zheng. The big boat would use a radar net to catch hairtail, while the small boat would continue fishing with long lines.

After all, their boats have no other special equipment and no skilled workers who know how to fish. They cannot fish in a targeted manner. The harvest from the trawl is not bad, but when the flood season comes, the profits will definitely be higher than not fishing hairtail.

They kept the fishing nets originally ordered yesterday as usual.

Due to an accident today, no fishing boats went out to sea. Everyone stopped by to buy materials and make longline fishing at home.

Father Ye and his several boats did not go very far, and they were able to contact Ye Yaodong's boat just after it left the shore.

After some inquiries, they found out that the surrounding resources were rich. They had only been driving towards the East China Sea for more than two hours when they found a school of fish, and then they stayed in the surrounding area and never left.

No wonder they encountered fishing boats operating along the way when they came, and they were all big.

When he arrived, several ships were already fully stocked, and some even had their decks piled up.

"Oh, so many goods?"

Father Ye smiled and said, "Fortunately you came early, otherwise if it were later, we wouldn't be able to fit it on the boat and we would have to go back."

"There are a lot of white pomfret and small yellow croaker."

"As soon as we came out early in the morning the day before yesterday, we saw a fishing boat similar to ours nearby. They brought in a whole net of big white pomfret. The shiny silvery white color poured out was not to mention how beautiful it was, so as soon as we put it all together, we first

I tried dragging a net here, and sure enough, there were too many pomfret, small yellow croaker, shrimps and crabs."

"Then the resources here are really rich."

"Most of the time, one net here is worth two nets at home, and there are more big fish. It's a pity that those trash fish are just thrown into the sea."

"Don't be greedy, as long as you can make more money."

"After collecting the goods for you today, we will probably drive out and trawl the net to see if there are better resources outside."

"OK."

"How have you been at the shore these two days?"

How should he answer this?

Congratulations, Dad. Are you not at home?

Considering that his father is still at sea and it will take a few days before he can return, it is better not to worry the old man. He will find out when he returns. There is nothing to say about this matter.

"It's okay. There's no big problem. You can rest assured that I can catch you at sea. I'll come out to collect the goods in two days."

Father Ye really thought nothing happened and was relieved.

After Ye Yaodong searched all the fishing boats, he hurried back to the shore before dark.

As the sun sets, the fishing boats all return to the port collectively, docking and unloading their cargo in an orderly manner. There are constant shouts and people everywhere, including latecomers and fishmongers everywhere.

He only needs to place the unloaded goods and wait for the merchants to select them. There is basically no big difference in the prices of the same goods on the dock.

From when the sun goes down to when it gets dark, the pier is still bustling with people, the lights are brightly lit, and there is an endless flow of people, making it ten times more lively than during the day.

Hundreds of thousands of fishermen and merchants gather in the harbor and come and go. There are many masts and masts, fish mountains and shrimp sea. The pier at night forms a unique scenery.

Seafood and fish products are basically traded at night. During the evening, they are taken to surrounding cities, or further away, or to surrounding processing plants.

Although there is no cold chain truck, if you pack it with ice and wrap it with thick cotton cloth, it can be stored for two or three days without breaking.

There are also many seafood processing plants in the port city, and a large amount of seafood is transported in every day.

The night breeze was blowing, and Ye Yaodong ate his dinner on the pier. Next to him were fishermen who were also eating from aluminum lunch boxes.

From time to time, he took advantage of his free time to communicate with the fishermen nearby, knowing that it was always like this at night and could last until dawn.

There are fishing boats coming and going, some docking, and some leaving. There is a large flow of people regardless of day or night. It will be slightly inferior during the day, but it is still relatively speaking.

The seafood trading place in the fishing port of this era was different from that in the future. There was no international fishery city, only markets and spontaneous fish markets, and they were only formed in the past two years.

Most fishermen will directly put the caught seafood on the dock or trade it at a temporary stop.

Therefore, this also resulted in the fishing port's waterway being often blocked, and the management staff on the dock had to constantly clear the water, so there was an official fish market enclosed for merchants to trade.

After some fishing boats docked, there were no stalls on the shore, so they had to move to the fish market.

There are also some wholesalers who specialize in the purchase of aquatic products. They will purchase seafood from different fishing boats at specific locations. Some fishing boats will specially deliver the goods to wholesalers.

Because of this, some intermediaries have also been formed.

Whether it is a fish market, a dock, a temporary stop, or a designated purchasing point, the flow of people is overwhelming. Hundreds of thousands of people come and go every day, and fish products are traded all the time.

There is no need to worry about selling the freshly arrived goods. Thousands of fishing boats dock every day, and tens of thousands of tons of goods are constantly transported out.

Similarly, because the current trading methods are relatively primitive and the infrastructure is not as developed as it was in the future, he could see no less than five or six chaos in front of the stall in one night, which was still visible within his sight.

Not to mention, where he couldn't see, this was a real mixed bag.

And he almost sold hundreds of tons of goods in the early morning amid the constant flow of people. All kinds of goods can always meet the buyers who need them.

The younger brother beside him has also been watching over him. Without a few more people together, it is impossible to walk freely on the pier with money.

When they got home, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not easy to make money..."

"Yeah, it's the first time I've seen such a busy pier, and it's the first time I've seen what a big port is. I've gained a lot of experience."

"No wonder Uncle Zheng keeps encouraging us to come up."

"The cargo on their small ships is not much. They should be sold out by nightfall. It is safer to go in and out together with a few ships."

"Brother Dong, when you were selling goods, you took turns to look around. You can really see fighting everywhere."

"Be careful and go to bed early. It's almost dawn."

Ye Yaodong returned to a house alone and counted the money sold today.

The more he counted, the more excited he became. He kept weighing the scales and taking note of the accounts. When he had free time, he did not dare to count the money on the dock, for fear that the money would be exposed and others would be jealous.

Now when he counted, his hands were shaking. Most of the goods were worth a few cents, and a very few of them could be sold for one or two cents, or two or three cents. Even so, they still sold for 11,826 yuan and 6 cents.

Be more conscientious. If he shares the 40% discount with the other 4 boats, he can earn 4730!!!

This is three times what you earn from buying jellyfish in Vancouver and twice what you earn from trawling.

He doesn't make any money on the ice and oil he supplies. He can buy as much as he wants at the dock and transport it to the ship.

Just by buying the fish in the middle, the price difference from selling it ashore is enough for him to earn.

The four boats also benefited. They did not need to dock and waste a lot of time selling goods. For most of the day, the fishing boats were able to catch several more nets at sea.

In the past, when I trawled the net at home, I could only sell the goods once every two days to the fresh harvest ship for just over 1,000 yuan, and when I sold them ashore, I could only sell them for 1,560 yuan.

Now there is no need to go ashore, just let him collect the goods, and a boat can be sold for one thousand and fifty-six dollars.

There is a reason for this that he conscientiously calculates at 60%. However, calculating an extra 10% is at most an extra hundred yuan.

The core reason is that there is a lot of fish, and the trawl catch is indeed 1/3 more than at home.

Sure enough, although this place is a mixed bag, risks also mean high returns.

Otherwise, how would it be possible for so many fishing boats and hundreds of thousands of fishermen to gather in this port, all for the purpose of panning for gold and making a lot of money.
