After all, I definitely can't do anything that guarantees a ticket.

He had to agree on anything in advance, so if he couldn't make money by then, he would still have to complain.

There is no such thing as being so sure about going to sea. It all depends on luck. Some people earn more, while others naturally earn less.

Everyone has to pay for their own decisions.

Everyone was talking and discussing and went straight back to Ye Yaodong's house. This time everyone was really discussing seriously.

Ye Yaodong let them decide for themselves. Those who are willing to follow and those who are not willing to stay can stay here. He does not guarantee it and is not responsible for anything.

They are all from the same village, or they are all nearby. Fellow villagers lead fellow villagers, and if they are willing to follow, they can come together.

The small wooden boat is not qualified to participate now. They can only wait for others to discuss it. Some people do not intend to follow and want to stay here. When the flood season is over, they can follow them back together.

All afternoon and into the evening, their courtyard was full of people, from dawn to bedtime.

The other ships were hesitant, but the two brothers Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua made a decisive move this time and decided to follow first.

There is nothing to be afraid of in a ship as big as theirs, and they have enough manpower. There are more than 20 people in Dongzi. At most, they will not make any money on the boat, but they will not lose much, so they will be the captain.

It won’t be a loss if you gain knowledge.

If they hadn't followed, Dongzi would have made a lot of money, and they wouldn't have any regrets after patting themselves on the back.

Moreover, he kept talking about the four major fishing grounds, which also aroused their curiosity. They thought it would be good to go there and gain some knowledge.

After they made the decision, the fourth brother Zhou Da also felt that what brothers Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua said was reasonable. They would not lose much, and a trip would be enough to gain some insights.

Otherwise, just going back home like this would always feel a bit depressing.

At least make a trip to Zhoushi. If you don't make any money, it won't be considered a failure and you will have some bragging rights.

After all four of their boats agreed to go, everyone started talking louder.

Some of them firmly said to go with them, while others were still hesitant and thought of calling home tomorrow to check it out.

By the time it was almost ten o'clock, more than half of the fishing boats were sure to follow. Most of them were related to Ye Yaodong. They either rented his boat or had some indirect relationship.

"If you are sure you want to follow, go back and prepare in the evening. We will also pay attention to the weather and set off in the next two days. If you need to discuss it with your family, just call back. If you want to follow, you should also talk to your family."

"Then, let's settle the accounts tomorrow. Let's go through the inventory for catching jellyfish here. We'll also settle the accounts for those who rented my boat. After all, some of them may have to stay."

"It's very late now. Let's all leave now. Go back and take a nap. We'll discuss it again tomorrow."

"We also have to figure out what to do with the small wooden boats and other things you brought. Anyway, there will definitely be boats to help drag them back by then."

Hearing this, the two brothers were glad again. Fortunately, they didn't get involved with these small wooden boats this year. Otherwise, it would have been difficult and they would have had to solve the problem of getting the boats back.

This year, many families brought relatives and neighbors with them, and many of them brought small wooden boats. This was also a problem.

Therefore, many people did not discuss the entrustment issue at night and did not agree immediately. They had to solve the problem of getting the boat back before they could consider themselves.

After sending the person away, I also took out all the recent accounts and looked at them.

He settled the accounts of their large trawl boats as soon as they came back. The same was true for Jellyfish. They were all paid in advance. What he wanted to settle was actually the account with A Guang.

There are also dividend accounts for 16 chartered fishing boats.

Originally he had to calculate the dividends at the end of the 30th, but since he was here and the ship was still being salvaged, he planned to calculate the general ledger again after all the jellyfish were finished.

Now that the situation has changed, please settle the accounts here before setting off.

After they hung up the phone, they just said that they would ask other fishing boats to see what everyone said. This time, they scheduled a phone call two days later to get a reply.

So it was the day after he settled the accounts that he contacted Uncle Zheng and asked him to help rent the house, and they would go up within the next two days.

On the night after the accounts were settled, everyone also decided which ships would follow and which ships would not follow.

Those who are willing to follow are basically from their village or have close connections with them, and most of them have made money by following them last year.

Most of the new fishing boats that joined this year have given up because they lack confidence. They heard that they can make a lot of money by fishing for jellyfish, but for them, the reality is the opposite of what they imagined.

They didn't make a lot of money by following them, they could only make a small amount of money. After the gap, they didn't want to follow them so far anymore. They just thought they could make money and return after the flood season.

So everyone else has also reached an agreement, allowing these fishing boats that don't plan to follow them to take the boat back with them when the time comes. They are basically related to each other, and it won't be a problem to pay them a little and say some kind words.

Ye Yaodong counted the fishing boats that followed him. Good guy, there were more than 40 of them, not counting their few big boats.

The main key is that he owns 17 of them, he rents 16 and has one in hand, his father has one, his eldest brother and second brother each have two, so his family takes half of them.

Then there are the people in the village. Last year, some people still had small wooden boats, but this year they have replaced them with motorized boats. There are also people in nearby villages who made money last year.

Doing the math, it's really scary. Including the manpower on the ship, there are more than 200 people on board.

No wonder Uncle Zheng kept calling them up, such a large group of people would be quite powerful wherever they were placed.

He first asked people to go back and make preparations, and then when he got on the phone with Uncle Zheng, he asked him to help find a few more houses that could accommodate about 200 people.

They are all rough people anyway, so long as they have a house with shelter from the wind and rain and a floor covering.

Let's go and stay first. If they can't sleep, some of them can sleep on the boat, and then they can make temporary arrangements for themselves.

Uncle Zheng was very excited when he heard that they wanted to go up. He immediately agreed and told them the specific location of the town and which pier to dock.

Ye Yaodong watched the stars that night, and the sky was filled with stars. This kind of weather would usually be sunny the next day.

After he confirmed it, he immediately decided to set off the next morning, so that it would be the next morning when he arrived.

Otherwise, if you procrastinate until a rainy day or a stormy weather, you will still have to wait.

Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to waste time. Anyway, I already had one day to pack things for everyone yesterday, so now I can just ask his father to inform him.

As for Fang Jingfu, he also took advantage of his free time to visit the factory.

Fang Jingfu also knew that they might transfer directly to Zhoushi in the near future and no longer stay here, but he had to say goodbye before leaving.

Afraid that he would not be free the next day, Ye Yaodong rode the bicycle he brought to his house and said goodbye to him.

In addition, I also received a bunch of pastries, canned sodas and other food items, which were given to Fang Jingfu by his family for him to take with him on the road.

This is how people come and go, which makes them appear humane.

When he returned, everyone in the room was still awake, and they were all waiting for him with some anxiety.

As soon as Ye Yaodong walked in, everyone in the room looked at him.

"What are you doing? Still not sleeping? We're leaving tomorrow."

"Waiting for you to come back."

"Brother Dong, if we set off tomorrow, can we find a place?"

"Why can't you find it? Navigation in the sea depends on the helmsman. In the past, when there were no motorized ships and all were sailboats, how do you think it was sailed? How did you keep from getting lost? These questions are all nonsense. Go to bed now."

"oh……"

"Go and have a rest. Get up at 5 o'clock tomorrow and set off at 6 o'clock. I've also borrowed a truck and tractor and will come over tomorrow to help pull the luggage."

"That's great. It saves you having to move."

"Go ahead."

Ye Yaodong lives in the same room as his father, and their luggage was packed yesterday. When they get up tomorrow, they just need to put their daily necessities in a bamboo basket and carry them into the car.

The father and son chatted for a few words and then went to sleep.

There was everything that needed to be said and talked about. They had held several meetings in the past few days and had talked a lot in private. Now that departure was approaching, there was nothing much to talk about.

As the departure was approaching, everyone didn't sleep much. Some people got up before dawn to cook, and then basically everyone got up early.

As soon as the truck arrived, they began to move things to the ship for storage.

In the past few days, they parked the boat in the middle of the sea and kept people watching, but they didn't get excrement thrown at them again.

The truck drove back and forth several times before pulling all the luggage of a large group of them to the dock.

They managed to eat their breakfast and went to the pier to gather.

Ye Yaodong asked them to count the number of people in their respective boats, and when everyone was there, they boarded the boat.

He handed the house over to the twins to look at and gave them a few words of advice.

Then he looked at the other people who came to see him off. They were all not prepared to follow, or they were villagers in small boats who couldn't follow even if they wanted to.

He also said a few auspicious words, wished them good luck, and took the people on board.

Not only these people, but also some local fishermen gathered around the shore, watching them leave, and then talked about them, probably hoping they would leave quickly.

Ye Yaodong asked his father to drive the Dongsheng and sail the fresh boats himself. He also had a small boat and just sent anyone to drive it.

He checked everything on his own, and when he was ready, he raised the flag to alert other ships that they were leaving.

After the other boats were ready, they waved their flags in response, and then slowly sailed away from the shore.

Ye Yaodong was sitting in the cockpit, watching all directions, and was right next to the Dongsheng.

After their five large boats sailed away from the shore, they took the lead and were followed closely by the forty or so boats behind them.

The shocking scene of the fleet sailing directly shocked the locals. They didn't know that these outsiders had so many ships???

I only knew that a lot of outsiders had poured into their place during this period, and they seemed to be in the same group, but I didn't know there were so many.

When we go fishing on a daily basis, we all go our separate ways, not going in and out together. The locals don't think anything of it, they just feel that there are many more motorized boats at the pier.
