Ye Yaodong felt a lot psychologically relieved.
Anyway, my brother-in-law and friend is still reliable.
It's better to replace that old guy. Now that he's old, it's better to retire and take care of himself. He doesn't want to make people dislike him.
Like his father, be more obedient and stay on the shore when he is told.
Father Ye:???Didn’t he feel the chaos on the shore and feel sorry for his son, so he took the initiative to stay on the shore?
Aguang asked again: "How is your ship being sent to the shipyard for modification?"
"I don't know, haven't I been at sea for half a month? I just came back. I just woke up from a nap and haven't taken the time to take a look. I'll take a look tomorrow when I get some time."
"Isn't there nothing else to do in the afternoon? Why don't you go in the afternoon?"
"I have other things to do in the afternoon. I have to take care of them. I'll go to the shipyard tomorrow."
"What are you doing this afternoon? I was thinking that if you were going to the shipyard, I would go with you to have a look and see what it looks like."
"I'll go with you tomorrow. I met a few people on the dock yesterday when I came back from shore..."
Ye Yaodong started telling yesterday's story again.
"Let me go, why are you taking the lead in setting up a chamber of commerce? How can you be so capable?"
"I just mentioned it casually and wanted them to do it, but I didn't expect that they would use me as a sign."
"We just met one night and are still strangers. How can we be reliable?" A Guang remained skeptical.
"It doesn't matter whether he is reliable or not, he doesn't need me to do anything, and he doesn't need me to help him, I'm just going to listen."
He has nothing to lose. If he is really integrated by these people, he may still benefit.
"Or you should bring two more people with you to be safer? Who knows who those people are."
"If you have this plan, you definitely can't go alone. I'll bring a few more people with me later. Anyway, everyone is idle at home."
"That's good. Should you guard against one thing or another? It's so chaotic here and everyone is there."
Ye Yaodong nodded.
It was necessary to be on guard, but he felt that Jin Laixi and his group should be real fish traders, not swindlers.
He was the one who proposed this chamber of commerce in the first place. He was the one who lied a lot about it, and people were just thinking about buying fish from the beginning.
Speaking of which, it was entirely him who started it. They were just led away by his thoughts, so they came to discuss this matter today.
If this thing can happen, it can be considered as his promotion.
"It's already one o'clock to settle the accounts. You can go about your business first."
After Aguang finished speaking, he stood up and wanted to go back, but Ye Yaodong called him.
"Wait a minute. I'm not going to sea today anyway. I'll make a call later and ask Ah Qing to take 35,000 to your house and give it to Huimei?"
Aguang frowned and said, "What is this for? I'm not in a hurry to ask for the money. Why don't you just let it go? Why did you ask Sister-in-law to take it to your house?"
"Aren't you afraid that your father will be unhappy?"
It's not like he didn't think about it when he borrowed it. He thought about it at first, but didn't he cut it first and then tell it later...
He had to pay 100,000 yuan to buy a boat, and he still had to owe more than 30,000 yuan in foreign debt. He had to take it easy, hoping to sail the boat back during the Chinese New Year and let his family know about it.
They could buy their entire village for 100,000 yuan, and he already had so many boats. Buying another boat for 100,000 yuan would be unnecessary for them, and they would indeed be scolded.
When he called me back in the Mid-Autumn Festival, he didn't get scolded and nothing happened. He was relieved. He didn't expect that he would know everything after another call before the National Day.
I thought that since I had borrowed everything, I would be able to pay it back in just one month, but Aguang was not in a hurry anyway.
He had remitted 50,000 yuan intermittently before and spent a lot of handling fees. If he borrowed one here and returned another home, wouldn't it be equivalent to wasting handling fees?
Not less than this month.
But Father Pei's behavior made him have to think more about whether he was feeling uneasy.
It is difficult to borrow 30,000 yuan in 2024, let alone 1986 now. In these years, 30,000 yuan is not to mention regarded as 3 million, but it is not much different. It is indeed a huge sum of money.
And it was borrowed directly, not counting shares, and there was no mention of interest.
If it were a benchmark investment, it would be counted as 30%, but now it is only counted as misappropriation.
This money is equivalent to more than half of what they earned here, so it's normal to feel uncomfortable.
I guess there must have been a lot of words behind it. Although you can understand it if you think about it, it is not a small amount after all, but it is unpleasant, so let's forget it and pay it back as soon as possible to avoid affecting the relationship.
Sometimes, it is these little frictions and bumps that you don't care about that accumulate to cause big conflicts.
If A Guang had directly used the 35,000 to invest in the stock, he would probably be overjoyed by now.
Aguang quickly explained, "My father was not unhappy. I lent you money and he didn't say anything. We are not outsiders, so how can I not trust you?"
"With your ability, you can repay more than 30,000 yuan in just one month. What do I have to worry about? It's just a move. I'm eager to lend you all the money. When the time comes, you can make a payment
Give it back to me, and I won't have to take the risk."
"Don't tell me to ask Sister-in-law to take it to Huimei first. If you do take it, who do you think I am? I said I can't wait even a month?"
"It's time for my third sister-in-law to scold you. When I came out, I didn't see the money being taken back. Instead, I asked her to repay tens of thousands of dollars. I knew you were buying a boat, but I didn't see it, so I must be feeling unsure."
Ye Yaodong was speechless.
"Don't worry about what my father said. He is just like that. He has no bad intentions. I just woke up in the morning and heard about it. I felt distressed, so I wanted to ask and see if I would lend you the money happily."
Aguang patted his shoulder again, "Keep the money first, don't let the third sister-in-law take the money."
"Okay, then I will pay you back 20,000 yuan first, and then I will give you 15,000 yuan back to you at the end of the month."
Ye Yaodong stopped him from speaking, "Don't rush to push it. I have some money on hand now, and it's not that I have no money. I also paid the deposit at the shipyard, and there is no place to spend money for the time being. Now that I have money left in my hand, I will pay back part of it first.
, this is also what you should do, I will pay you back the rest at the end of the month."
"Hmm... Okay, then you can pay me back 20,000 yuan first. The rest will be paid back when you have it. It doesn't have to wait until the end of the month. I'm not in a hurry."
"Okay, then you come in with me and count the money. It will take me half a day to count 20,000 yuan."
Ye Yaodong led A Guang into the house.
Father Ye listened from beginning to end and said nothing.
They should discuss matters between the two of them by themselves. Lao Pei is an in-law, so it's hard for him to say anything.
If you owe money, pay it back as soon as you can, so that ordinary people will not feel unhappy.
When the Harvest was bought, they all came over to recruit the three brothers to join the company, but the boss did not agree, so Dongzi and Ahua divided it up.
As for this boat, Dongzi still had money on hand, but he didn't think of recruiting them to join the boat, but directly borrowed 35,000, which would indeed make him feel dissatisfied.
This doesn't mean who is right and who is wrong. Today is different from the past.
It’s not that Dongzi has no money. It’s more than enough to buy one alone. It’s just that he sent part of the money back, so he doesn’t have as much money on hand.
At that time, Lao Pei didn't have enough money on hand and wanted to recruit people to share the risk, so there was no way to compare.
Father Ye pretended to be deaf and mute and followed them into the house, only helping them count the money and not saying anything else.
Ah Guang counted 20,000 yuan and returned with a basket of shellfish.
Father Pei probably felt unhappy when he left. He didn't take anything, only cents of money and went back.
After Ye Yaodong waited for him to leave, he saw that the time was already past 1 o'clock, counted 10 people, and followed him to the address given by Jin Laixi.
They asked for directions and chatted while walking, and it was almost 2 o'clock when they arrived.
It is also a row of short bungalows, with several people sitting on small benches and benches at the entrance.
As soon as they arrived, those people looked at them curiously, and Jin Laixi also greeted him with a smile and walked over.
"Quite on time, there are so many people?"
"They are all from my village. They are a little curious and want to come over to see me. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I just follow them and don't worry about them."
"Originally, there were more people who wanted to come and have a look, but I was too embarrassed to bring them along, otherwise they would think I was bringing them out for a fight, haha."
The few people sitting there looked at Ye Yaodong curiously. They all came alone or with one or two friends.
He is the only one who brings a large group of people like him...
However, this can indeed allow people to see his strength...
If you take 10 people with you when you go out casually, and there are still more people you don't take with you, this is enough to show that you are not an ordinary person.
Jin Laixi smiled and didn't say anything, "Okay, people are here too. Let's just chat casually. Those who came here in the afternoon are all acquaintances, they are all trustworthy, and they are all from Wenzhou."
"There are also two or three friends who are ship bosses and have gone to sea. I won't mention them for now. We will gradually recruit them into the chamber of commerce after they have stopped going to sea. We will get to know each other by then."
"If you have friends who are also from our local city of Vancouver, you can also bring them in. Let's communicate more and find out what resources we have that can complement each other. Your fellow villagers are always more reliable than people outside. You can bring convenience to your own people and you don't have to waste money.
Earn money for outsiders."
"Let me first introduce to you this friend who just came here. I just met this unexpectedly yesterday. He is extraordinary. He is the vice president of our Vancouver Fisheries Association - Ye Yaodong."
"Haha, I accidentally found out about it when I heard him talking to a ship boss at the dock yesterday."
"No, we just talked about it for a while. This Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce was also suggested by Comrade Ye Yaodong..."
Jin Laixi kept talking about how she met Ye Yaodong, and also introduced Ye Yaodong's strength.
He also emphasized that although he is not from Wenzhou, he owns a house and a factory in Wenzhou, so he can be regarded as half a Wenzhouian, not to mention that he is the vice president of the Wenzhou Fisheries Association.
Everyone looked at him in surprise. The smarter ones all knew how valuable Ye Yaodong was. Not just anyone could be the official vice president of the Fisheries Association.
Although they didn't know much about it, they had heard a little bit about the chaos during the jellyfish flood season in Vancouver last year. The Fisheries Association was also an organization single-handedly established by the Bureau of Oceanography.
Ye Yaodong randomly found a stool to sit on. Except when he introduced everyone to him, he smiled and nodded, and at other times he didn't say anything. He just sat there and listened to their discussion.
Some people spoke a few words in Mandarin and then spoke the local dialect of Wenzhou City, but he couldn't understand it, so he just sat there like a mascot and let them discuss whatever they wanted.
Just when it comes to positions, ask him if he has any ideas.
He shook his head directly, "I have no idea. I am also very busy. There are many ships to manage and accounts to be settled. I also have to go to sea at the same time. My energy is limited, and the time on the shore is not certain. I am not even sure how long I will stay here.
Yes. Haha, just make up your own mind and make arrangements, don't worry about me."
"How can that be done? You are our flagship, and we have to rely on you to attract more people from Wenzhou who come out to work hard, so that everyone can develop together better and not be bullied."
"Then it's up to you. I don't care, and I'm really not free. If anything happens, you may not be able to find me."
"In this case, let me give you a name first, Vice President?"
The workers nearby whispered to each other and asked in a low voice: "Brother Dong, there are so many vice presidents..."
"The boss wants to make money, so how can he have time to start a group..."
Ye Yaodong hesitated for a second, "After all, I am not a local. I don't speak Wenshi dialect. There is no need to give me a name. There are only a few people in total. Except for the president, everyone is the same."
"Everyone is the same, but you are different. You are the vice-president of the Fisheries Association, which is officially recognized. You have to be used as a living sign. Otherwise, there are only a few of us here. Apart from the president, there is no need to install a lot of people.
With his name, everyone is a friend."
Others also mentioned it by the same name.
Ye Yaodong agreed after hearing this. There were only a few people in the grass-roots team, but there was a president and a vice-president who were overwhelming. Don't even think about having a secretary-general, director, etc...
It's hard to say what will happen in the future. Maybe the Caotai team will break up while working hard. He will definitely go home for the Chinese New Year anyway. It's hard to say what will happen next year.
Just stay here for a few months and fool around.
Originally, he was thinking of making a few friends. It would be great if there was a boss here who regularly collected his goods, or there was a fishing boat that would collect the goods for him freshly.
Just mess around and take a look.
"Then it's settled. The boat boss you talked to last night is also from Wenzhou. We can chat more and invite everyone to sign up for a tour together."
"Okay, I can't contact him now that he has gone to sea. You have to wait until I go to sea. Then we can communicate with the same channel at sea. I just met him yesterday. I can't guarantee how he is."
"Okay, then you need to understand first, we must introduce a reliable member to join..."
Ye Yaodong remained silent again, only listening to them talk about details, development, and the benefits of joining a team, and then talked about their respective needs.
Because he is the vice-president of the Fisheries Association, even though we have just met him, everyone still trusts him because of the official bonus.
They all said politely that they would buy a lot of hairtail next time, and take some small yellow croakers, pomfrets, shrimps and the like away, and if the time happened by chance, I would collect them first.
The eight or nine people Jin Laixi called in the afternoon were basically fishmongers like him. Some were his brothers and neighbors, and some were people from Wenzhou whom he met here. Most of the boat owners were still at sea.
Ye Yaodong didn't care whether they were speaking politely or seriously, he would always listen to the truth.
I also asked them specifically about what time they would receive the goods at the dock every day, thinking that they would cooperate with the docking at that time.
Anyway, these fishmongers have to accept the goods, and they will accept it from whoever accepts it.
Nowadays, communication is underdeveloped and it is inconvenient to contact each other. We can only cooperate with each other to make an appointment in advance, otherwise there is no better way.
They can't even agree on the quantity, it all depends on the situation.
They fishmongers don't need the goods every day, and the quantity may not be that big. Simply make an appointment and collect what they can, and if they can't, they will set up a stall.
If he couldn't sell it all, he would take it back to dry. Anyway, when he came back from the shore, he would have a lot of people working there, and after drying it, he would take it home and sell it in his shop during the Chinese New Year.
Several people chatted until the sun went down.
Jin Laixi shouted to everyone to stay for dinner, but Ye Yaodong directly refused and let them eat by themselves.
He brought 10 people out, and even if he had the nerve to stay, he would stay for a meal. So after chatting, he said goodbye to everyone with a smile and went back with the people first.
Everyone listened all afternoon and couldn't bear it anymore. Just now, they wanted to chat in a low voice, but now they can speak loudly.
"Brother Dong, you have another title..."
"I don't know what this organization is for...whether it can make money..."
"At least we have another vice-president, which sounds good..."
"There are just a few people. I don't know how they are going to develop the people in Wen City. I don't know if there are many people in Wen City here. Most of them should be ordinary fishermen, right?"
Chapter completed!
