After the middle-aged man was taken away, everyone felt a little embarrassed for a while.
Ah Cheng explained: "The price he is talking about is the retail price of sun-drying. People have to go through a lot of hands to sell and receive goods. This thing is also expensive and not that easy to sell. It can only be found in big places, and it has to be done."
Shipping and stuff, fresh purchases, are not as high as he said.”
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "Don't worry, this thing is so expensive and valuable. After all our goods have been weighed, we can discuss it carefully. After all, there are 8 of them, which are worth thousands of dollars. We will discuss it in detail later.
.”
I didn't expect this thing to be so valuable now. He just said it was less, but fortunately they didn't agree.
Thirty yuan and one tael of sun-dried food, you will make a fortune!
Even if the purchase price is not that high, at around 20 yuan, one gill is much more expensive than one fish.
280 is a piece of shit~
Several people looked a little ugly and stared at the middle-aged man outside who was still watching the excitement with great interest.
Originally, there was a chance that I might miss something, and I hoped to push the price even lower, but now it's so messed up that I can't even buy it for 300, not to mention 280.
All of them looked very ugly, but they still wanted to struggle to the death.
Ah Cheng smiled awkwardly, "Didn't you just say 280? We won't go into details. One item is 280, four items are 1120, so we accepted them all."
It's too late, I just wanted to lower the price, but now he won't sell it.
Originally I only planned to sell it for 280, but now I have to earn at least an extra hundred yuan with tears in my eyes.
He still had a smile on his face, "Don't worry, we will come in batches and weigh all the goods first. You have enough people now, so you are all there to help weigh the goods. There are many people and strength. We can definitely finish the job before dark."
It’s too late for us to talk slowly after we’re done.”
They couldn't laugh anymore.
The goods all over the floor were weighed one by one in an orderly manner. Even if everyone looked ugly, it could not stop them from making the money they could make now.
Father Pei also smiled like a fox and was very happy. He didn't expect that there would be a bigger surprise waiting here.
The fishermen watching on the pier watched for a while and then dispersed one after another. Those who had sold their goods should go home.
By the time they had almost finished passing the scale, the pier was already half as busy as it was just now, and the only people coming and staying were those who came back late.
The middle-aged man from just now came over happily and said, "There are a lot of these goods. You can make a lot of money if you take them all and resell them..."
"It's a pity. Why didn't you ask me just now? I am an honest person. I will never exploit you fishermen. I will earn as much as I should, and I will never earn a penny more..."
"Go to hell, don't get in the way here, just watch your own stall."
"Don't be like this. Although we are enemies in the same industry, we still have to help each other, right? If you receive so many goods at once and advance too many goods, I can also help share a ship..."
"Get out of here, thank God if you don't get in the way here..."
Ye Yaodong looked at this man strangely. This man was not upset even after being kicked out. He stayed there with a good temper and shamelessly watched them weigh the goods, but now he faced him again.
"Little brother, I just went to take a look at your boats. Both of them are quite new. Did you just buy them? What a great skill. Your family has already bought two of them? Those boats are not cheap. I heard that they are quite new.
It’s ten thousand or twenty thousand.”
"I see that there are names engraved on the boats. They are very well chosen. Where are you from? Next time you dock, you can come to me next door. I will definitely be as fair as theirs..."
The other party seemed to be a chatterbox, standing next to him and talking non-stop, without waiting for his response, he kept talking on his own. He had no choice but to smile and nod from time to time.
The two people who had been entertaining him next to him kept glaring at him, but they didn't stop him. They looked quite frightened.
"Okay, let's talk about it next time. We have to wait for good catches before we can dock. Today's back and forth has delayed most of the day."
"That's right, so all the profits are made by the fresh-harvesting ship. Once the fresh-harvesting ship docks, the profit will be doubled."
Ye Yaodong smiled and nodded, his eyes looking back and forth between the scale and the accounting.
"Have you agreed on how much it will cost for the stingray?"
"I'm telling you don't sell it if it's below 280. I'm not talking about fish, but gills..."
"Go, go, go and do your business, what are you messing around with here? How much money you sell is our business, what are you messing around with?"
As soon as the manta ray was mentioned, Ah Cheng and Ashu became angry and started to chase people away.
"Ah, there's nothing left to say? You can't get a share of the pie, why don't you ask? I'm telling you, the fish costs 60 cents per catty, and the gills cost 280 yuan, so the total price is 400 yuan..."
"Nonsense!"
"I don't even know how much I have to pay back 400. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Ye Yaodong looked at them with a half-smile, "Are you afraid of losing money? Otherwise, if I sell it to him for 400, he will lose money?"
The two of them choked. The person weighing the goods and helping to carry the goods didn't even bother to cross the scale. They stopped and cursed in the local dialect. He couldn't understand it anyway, so he just watched.
"Just a few groceries. After weighing and settling the accounts, we can talk about the manta rays. Anyway, I have sold so many goods to you. I can't just carry out a few fish and sell them to others. I want to sell them.
Your family must be given priority, and the price is right, so of course it’s good for you and me, and everyone is good.”
Father Pei also said in broken Mandarin: "Yes, I must sell it to your family first. We are all real people, so of course we must do real things and not fool people."
Father Ye's Mandarin was even worse than Father Pei's, so he didn't intend to speak and just nodded along.
They all looked a little reluctant.
"Well, the weighing will be finished soon."
After nearly an hour of weighing, all the goods were weighed. Ye's father asked people to sort out his own baskets, while Ye Yaodong settled accounts with them.
A whole boatload of goods, under the crackling sound of the calculator, was calculated back and forth twice, and finally the price was sold for 2855 yuan 37 cents.
It's a little bit different than expected, but the original estimated price included a few manta rays, but now it's been eliminated. Overall, it's still a bit more than expected.
The rising price of manta rays is really an unexpected surprise. It can be said that you picked it up for free.
However, it was impossible for him to be greedy and ask the middle-aged man to sell at the price he said. He was also not sure whether the middle-aged man was exaggerating and deliberately trying to trick them into following him.
The front was still shouting, the fish would have lost money if it didn’t have 280, and the back was still shouting the gills one, two, twenty, thirty. I don’t know if he was shouting to leave a way for himself at the beginning, but now he was saying something else.
It's something else.
Again, I was talking about gills at the beginning, not fish.
He was a little confused. Anyway, he believed that the price was too high, so he couldn't be wrong.
However, the two people next to me, who were not sure whether they were brothers, had a look of displeasure on their faces. There were so many goods on the ship that were sold at a good price, so they had to save some face, calculate less, and give them a
Room to make money.
Ye Yaodong just watched them settling accounts there, and he was also thinking about how they would bid later.
Anyway, everything that can be bid for more than three hundred now is all earned by him. Really, in a short while, the value of this fish has increased a lot.
"The price here for you is 2855 yuan, 3 cents and 7 cents. The boat next to you is similar to yours. It has less red fish but more other goods, and it is also 2821 yuan, 2 cents and 1 cents."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much."
"We've collected all the goods. Let's talk about the fish and settle the bill together."
"Okay, you can see what price is right. Everyone knows the price of this fish. It must be more than what I just said, and it's not just the price you just quoted. We all earn hard-earned money. Be honest and straightforward.
This will make it easier to do business next time.”
Father Pei also joined in, "Yes, we will basically fish in this area from now on, and we will often dock in the province. We have formed a good relationship, and we will carry the goods to your house next time we dock."
The two of them looked at each other and were a little undecided for a moment. The older man next to them was shouting in local dialect, which sounded a little unclear. It was Ah Cheng who helped translate.
"My dad said, you just called yourself 280..."
"At that time, I didn't know that the fish would be so much more expensive than I expected. You didn't agree to it at the time. If you agreed to it, wouldn't you just close the deal and nothing would happen? Okay, now let me
Knowing that the price of this fish is not at all what I expected, of course, I have to continue to add more.”
"Then we definitely can't sell at a loss. You are also cunning and insincere, because we don't know the goods and deliberately lower the price so much?"
Ye's father's Mandarin was mixed with their local dialect, which was extremely awkward. I don't know if they understood it.
They were talking among themselves, and as they spoke, they pointed their fingers outside with angry expressions and yelled curses.
Then after a minute or two, Ashu said: "To tell you the truth, four hundred is absolutely impossible. The sun-dried fish gills cost twenty or thirty yuan per tael if bought outside, but you can take it fresh."
Where can you find this price outside? You don’t want to make a profit on one lot when you buy it? Then you buy two more hands and then sell them dry, and the final retail price is twenty or thirty yuan per tael.”
Makes sense.
If it makes sense, he still believes it.
Ye Yaodong nodded, "That's right, so how much are you going to offer now? There is nothing wrong with sixty cents per catty for fish. For two hundred catties, one hundred and twenty plus is for sure, and then add it on."
For gills, tell me how much you can give me at most."
"If it's suitable, we'll make a decision directly, and don't worry about hurting our feelings. After all, we have to do a second business. Our two ships have a lot of cargo that docks every now and then, and it's definitely tens of thousands of kilograms.
"
"If you give me a good price, you should treat it as a good relationship. If you make less money, it is impossible not to make money. I know this too."
The old man next to him stretched out three fingers and shouted: "Three hundred yuan is the most!"
280 refused before, but now they are slapped in the face and they have to take the initiative to ask for 300. The situation is really changing.
Ye Yaodong didn't say anything but looked at Ah Shu and put pressure on him.
It can be seen that this person can make the decision. Even if the older generation shouts, they still have to listen to the young. The younger generation has to make the decision.
"My father said 300, and I am very sincere. I am more direct and straightforward, not 300, just 320. Don't listen to others, don't say more, just this price. This is already higher than what you originally paid.
The asking price of 280 will be given back to you plus an additional 40. I have lost so much that I regretted it so much that I feel so distressed that I want to hit someone."
Ye Yaodong glanced at his father and then at Uncle Pei.
They also communicate in local dialect.
"Let him add another ten, twenty, thirty, or three hundred and five, right?" Father Ye said greedily.
But Father Pei said: "I think it's about the same. Don't make people anxious. The money we just sold is still in their hands, and they are still waiting to get the money. What if they make people angry because of the difference of tens of dollars?"
It’s not good for us either. We are not local after all.”
Ye Yaodong felt that what Father Pei said was very reasonable.
Don't let the small lose the big.
320 has already doubled from the hundred yuan they expected at the beginning. If it hadn't docked, the delivery ship wouldn't be so kind as to tell you the value of the goods, and would just collect them as ordinary goods, which would only be a few dozen dollars.
block, the gap would be even greater.
To be a human being, you must know how to be content.
What's more, I was shouting three hundred yuan, but he said he would add twenty yuan to show his sincerity. No matter how aggressively he asked them to increase the price, it seemed a little greedy, and it was easy to offend people.
.
No matter what, you have to be sensible. If others take a step back, he might as well take a step back, and the world will be brighter.
Originally, when he had just settled the accounts, he was thinking of trying another three hundred and five.
"Then listen to Uncle Pei, 320 is fine. The 280 I just randomly yelled for has been increased by 40 yuan. People are already upset. If we continue to force them to increase the price, we will have to pay it later.
Let’s fight out.”
"Yes, it's almost done. This has already doubled what we thought at the beginning, so that's it. Don't argue. It's getting dark. Let's settle the account quickly. We'll go back as soon as we get the money.
It’s time to make dinner when we get to the boat.”
Father Ye thought it made sense. The goods were all handed over to them, and the money was not settled. They still had a large amount of money in their hands. If they continued to compete with them on the price, if anything went wrong, he would be the one to suffer.
While they were muttering and discussing, the other party kept looking at them with a frown.
Ye Yaodong turned around and smiled and said to them: "Okay, if you say 320, then 320, I feel it with full sincerity. I am not a greedy person. It is also dark today, and we also want to take advantage of the darkness."
Quickly clear the cargo before going on board and continue fishing.”
They immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they could accept it, otherwise they would be worried that he would not be satisfied with the price and would raise the price, which would be difficult.
Harmony brings wealth, and they are also afraid of quarrels.
Nowadays, fishermen are not so easy to mess with. Every big boat like this has guns.
If it hadn't been exposed at the beginning and you could have picked it up when he didn't know the goods, there's nothing wrong with it. After all, you don't understand the value yourself, and you bid the price yourself. Once you trade, it's fine. It's too late to regret it later.
If you can't agree on the price and have a conflict, it won't be beneficial to anyone, so since the person is sincere, he has to understand it.
"Four devil rays means 1280... Huh? This number is also auspicious and sounds good!"
"Yes, the number 1280 sounds familiar and auspicious."
After that, he added the stingray and price to the bill of goods.
"1280+2855 yuan, 3 cents and 7 cents..."
"There's no need to calculate the cents for this trip. Let's just calculate it as a round number. You can just do it and I can do it too. No one has to dig and search."
"Okay, that's easy to say. Then yours is 4135, and the ones next to it are 2821+1280. The total here is 4101 yuan. There is not much difference between the two of you."
After he finished speaking, the old man next to him began to mutter and complain, "If I had known that when he said 280 in the first place, we would have just agreed to it, so as not to have to spend more money now. One fish costs forty yuan more, and eight fish will cost more."
Three hundred and two, holy shit..."
The old man vomited fragrance for a while and scolded the middle-aged man just now again.
"Okay, let's settle it now. Don't talk about the past. We were very greedy before, thinking that people didn't know the goods and wanted to earn more. In the end, we stole the chicken but lost the rice."
"Now it's better to contact the truck quickly and see if one truck can be collected. If not, we can only add another tractor."
"A Cheng also counted the payment and settled it with them."
Ah Cheng reached for his backpack with a look of displeasure on his face, and emptied it all out. A full backpack was not enough to settle the bill, so he had to ask others to donate their bags, and then collect the money in the bags together.
, the accounts of both their families were evened.
Each of them carried a bag in front of them, and after receiving the goods, they immediately checked out and asked people to leave.
Ye Yaodong took a handful of big unity, and he and his father took turns counting them twice. When there was no problem, he picked up his clothes and put them in his shoulder bag inside his clothes.
"Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I'll come back and ask you next time when I have the goods. Remember to give me a fair price."
"Okay, okay, it's easy to talk."
"No, Brother Ashu, he still has a fish gill drying on his boat. Can we collect it together? It's already dried anyway." Ah Cheng suddenly remembered that there was another fish gill hanging there on his boat, and he hurried out.
Voice.
Father Ye also hurriedly joined in, "Yes, I was just about to tell you this. By the way, I'll sell the one on the boat that you hung up to dry before. If you can make a little bit, you can take that thing home anyway."
We don’t know how to eat either.”
"Oh, I was so busy counting the money that the guy on the boat forgot to bring it over to discuss the price."
Ashu also said, "Would you like to sell the one on your boat?"
"How much do you plan to pay?"
"180!"
"200! I'm almost ready. You can do it in two days at most. It doesn't take any effort. You can earn dozens of yuan just by doing it. You've made it."
"How can I earn as much as tens of yuan as you said? If it's 180, you can still say that I can earn dozens of yuan."
"Is that okay? Just say a word, take the money directly, and then get on the boat with me to get the half-dried fish gills."
"Okay, okay, give him another two hundred yuan, and I'll go with him to the boat to get the fish gills."
Ye Yaodong credited another 200, and then happily took everyone out and walked to the boat.
After Father Ye finished packing the fish baskets, he left one person on the boat to watch, and the others followed them to support the scene in front of the stall. He was also afraid of being bullied.
At this time, no one was watching outside, the sky was already dark, and there was only a little light left. Everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers.
From dawn to dusk, it only takes a while to get on the boat.
Ye Yaodong turned on the flashlight and handed the half-dried fish gills hanging there to dry to Ah Cheng for inspection. Only after there were no problems, did he take the boat off.
He also said a few polite words and finished it off properly, then returned to the boat and asked his father to start the boat quickly.
After leaving the stall and getting their money, they and Father Pei simply boarded their own boats without any communication. They quickly pushed the boats away and left the shore, as if running away.
Everyone is tacitly afraid that if a lot of money is left in their pockets, it will be over.
After driving away from the shore and driving for a distance, Ye Yaodong and Ye's father breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Yaodong also stood on the deck, looking at the shore, holding his heart in his hands. After his heart returned to his stomach, he went to the cabin to lock the money in the iron box under his bed board, and then went up to the cockpit to find it.
His father spoke.
“It’s exciting to have so much money in your hands.”
"Fortunately, no one caught up with me. I was worried that the middle-aged man who caused trouble before would have other ideas, but luckily he didn't."
"This shows that they are doing serious business, and they can continue to send goods there if they have goods in the future."
"Have you put the money away? You have to lock it and watch it closely."
Ye Yaodong smiled broadly, "Don't worry, don't worry when I do things, money is my lifeblood, nothing will go wrong."
After Father Ye felt relieved, he was also very happy.
"We were really lucky this time. We made more than 4,300 in one day and one night..."
"It's more than one day and one night. It's almost two days and two nights by the time the fishing boat sets off to set the net. Today's delay of one day without fishing is also a loss, but our few manta rays are making a lot of money, and the profit is enough to make up for it.
.”
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the most valuable thing about this thing is the fish gills. Who would have thought of this? In the past, the dogs wouldn't eat other fish gills if they were thrown to them. It's really eye-opening that it can be sold at such a high price.
I don’t know who is eating these fish gills or how to eat this thing.”
"You don't care how you want to eat it, you can't eat it anyway, and you can't eat it."
"Of course, if you kill me, I won't be able to swallow such an expensive thing. Thunder will sound."
The more Ye Yaodong thought about it, the happier he became, "It's so cool. It's really an accident. I thought I could only sell it for a little more, maybe a hundred yuan, but I didn't expect that four pieces could be sold for 1,280 yuan. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's better to go to deeper seas."
There is a lot of cargo, and if you catch a few good ones, it will take an average person at home to trawl for a year.”
"Isn't that right? Why don't you replace all the seven boats you ordered with ships this big? It's cost-effective and you can make money quickly..."
"There's no need to change. The seven boats are booked there. If you want to book a larger boat, you can book it again. Anyway, you just need to pay a deposit. But we can leave this for later. We can't drive so many boats. Please
If someone does it, I won’t worry if I’m not on the ship.”
He has to keep those seven boats to account for the delivery date, but he cannot cancel them. If they are cancelled, what will happen to the jellyfish fishing this year and next?
They all swarmed up one after another, and they might not be able to catch it for more than a few days before they might have to go back home.
But now he occupies the delivery date and the quota, so no one can buy a boat, and the number of boats to follow is slightly less. One less boat is one.
At that time, he will ask the master to build a batch of handmade small wooden boats, and directly use the Dongsheng to pull them over, and then take a boat of people to catch fish, hehehehe~
Furthermore, he still has a lot of money on hand. He still has 40,000 yuan, and he hasn't finished stocking up on dried fish. He is selling while stocking up, so he probably won't use his old capital.
After a few days, he has made enough money at sea, and if he goes back to replenish it, it will be enough for Ah Qing to spend on drying fish for the next period of time. There will still be some leftover, and their family's small treasury will become more and more full.
Booking another big boat is not a problem for him. What worries him is the person who drives the boat. His father is getting old. At most, he can help his eldest and second brothers sail for a few more years and then retire at home.
You should probably be able to use your spare vision and show him the door.
This should be what he likes, he can chat and flirt, and he can show off.
It's not impossible to order a new boat and let someone else drive it, and learn from the models of the boats at home, but there is nothing you can do if you go to sea for several days and they don't keep accounts for the goods they sell.
The reason for Fengshenghao was that there were several shares in the partnership, and Chen Qishui was on it. Uncle Zheng also called one, and someone was sent out to supervise it, so everyone was relieved.
Where can he find anyone who can be sent out to supervise the fishing boats? The few boys in the workshop now work three shifts a day, and he is still worried about insufficient manpower.
Chen Shi had to stay on the boat to help him, because in two years his father would have to help his eldest and second brother sail the boat, and he would also have to have one of his own as a helper on the boat.
The ones his father called were not bad, but they were just doing their jobs. Chen Shi followed him wholeheartedly, so he still believed them.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about buying a boat anymore. It is better to take good control of the Dongsheng first so that his father can rest assured.
As for myself, I should accumulate more first. The fish sauce has not been sold out yet. I replenish it every half month. I don’t know when it will be sold. It is not really on the right track.
To really get on the right track, you have to be like dried fish, have a stable sales for a long time, and you don't have to worry about it, you can operate it by yourself.
The first batch has just been fermented now, and it has not been sold out yet. It will take a while for sales to stabilize, and the second fermentation will also start to be sold, and then he can feel at ease.
When Father Ye heard that he wanted to order another big ship, he shook his head immediately.
"No, I just got this boat. You haven't driven it for a few days. You have to add one-third to your eldest and second brother's side. I still have to sail the boat for you. If I get another one of the same kind, I won't be able to do it."
That’s good now.”
After he finished speaking, he felt uneasy and said something solemnly.
"Stop fussing! That's enough now. It's fine. It's okay for me to do some work for you with my old bones. It's just that you make a big one every time, and the bigger you make it, the bigger it gets. My heart
It’s all mentioned there.”
"Why are you so worried? You know this is glory? The more I torment you, the more glory you will get."
Father Ye glanced at him and said angrily: "Do you think I am your mother?"
"Isn't it the same? It's just the same. I see you're not any less proud than her."
In the past two days in Singapore, I only slept for three or four hours for two consecutive days. I was typing on the plane. I was really in a hurry. It was not easy to keep updated. My eyes were bloodshot and red.
Chapter completed!
