"Then let's wait until those boats have returned in two days, and then we can discuss it?"
"Okay, I'll just spend the next two days thinking about it and making arrangements. I have to get a charter and discuss it with Ah Qing first."
Aguang nodded, "Well, after the typhoon, there will be more goods. I can collect more goods in the next two days and make more money. If you don't make money, you won't make it in vain."
After finishing the phone call, Ye Yaodong and A Guang chatted all the way home.
They also made up their mind that when they called next time, they would also ask his father and others to go there and ask them. If they had any questions, they could ask them in person.
Otherwise, it would be just the two of them saying that the older generation and most people would not agree, and it would be difficult for them to leave, and they would be unable to stand alone.
The bigger this kind of pier is, although it is said to be more tolerant, it will always be chaotic when there are more people. You must have more people to stick together, otherwise you will only be bullied.
Otherwise, Uncle Zheng and the others have been trying their best to keep in touch with them, and they have been asking them to come and make money together.
In previous years, I was very excited and often went to A Guang's house to call them up. It is one thing to have good resources, but also to have more manpower.
However, Ye Yaodong's fresh-water harvesting boat was not very good at returning to the ditch to collect goods. It only lasted four or five days. He could only collect the goods from his own fishing boat. The locals also had local boats doing this.
They all think that with a 50% discount, they can collect the jellyfish that the other party has worked so hard to catch, and even if there is no jellyfish blood, they can still make enough money.
After all, there are fewer people in the trench now, and hundreds of boats are gathering there to snatch jellyfish from others. It would be easier and safer to just collect their jellyfish.
Therefore, Ye Yaodong had only been doing a good job in harvesting fresh boats for a few days, but he was thinned out by several local boats. He could only collect a little bit around, but the profit was not as good as in the first few days, and the price dropped by more than 2/3.
Probably only 1/10 of a trip.
Sure enough, the one who makes money is always the first one to eat something.
He had already expected that this would only make short-term money.
Although he has many ideas, it is easy to be followed if he has no technical content at all, as long as he has a boat.
He didn't feel too distressed, since he had earned the money from the jellyfish anyway.
This fresh-harvest boat itself is specially designed to dock with the big boats at home, and the jellyfish is just a fraction.
By the time Ye Yaodong came out to collect the goods for three or four trips, a few ships docked again and it was already early August.
Ye Yaodong and A Guang also shared their ideas with the others. They first held a meeting with the people from the four big ships. The most important thing was to look at their big ships.
Counting it all, except for Zhou Da's brothers, the others are not outsiders.
Everyone except Father Ye was shocked.
"What, you want to go to Zhoushi? Uncle Zheng's place?"
"No, everything is fine here..."
"We can also trawl the net..."
"There are more abundant resources up there. There are winter floods of hairtail and spring floods. It is known as one of the four largest fishing grounds in the country..."
"I was just wondering why you were so active in talking about the above a few days ago, and you kept in touch with Lao Zheng on the phone, and kept asking..."
They all got a little excited in the room and started talking about it.
After many discussions, everyone prefers to stay here peacefully and not make any fuss. Anyway, you can still make money by trawling the sea.
"If you can still go out to sea and trawl here, why are you still here? Why don't you just go home? You can go back more often and become more familiar with the surrounding waters."
"Isn't it that everyone is running out to take risks and earn more money? It's hard to make money here now, so it's normal to change to a better place." Ye Yaodong said continuously.
"This...this person is unfamiliar with the place..."
"The people here are also very xenophobic. Some time ago they just threw excrement, but we reacted in time and went directly to the sea. What if someone is more radical and directly pours gasoline at night and sets our boat on fire? Can you?
Do you have time to react?"
Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this and couldn't sit still.
"How come?"
"No way?"
Ye Yaodong said calmly: "Why not? Two typhoons in succession left many people dead. Some of them may be men in the family. It is possible that they have grudges."
"Even if we don't do anything, someone will put the shit in the pot and think it's because of us outsiders that they will take risks."
"Otherwise, why did you throw excrement on our four boats that day? Didn't you just point the finger at us? Vent your anger on the four boats. Do you still dare to stay here?"
He is not being alarmist. This is very possible. What if someone's entire army is really wiped out?
Originally, those who went to sea were fathers, sons, and brothers. If some of the families were destroyed, the ship was gone, and the whole family was ruined, would they be radical?
At that time, things had just been done, the typhoon had just passed, maybe the funeral had just been held, and the methods were not so radical.
Stay here and try?
This was also part of the reason why he wanted to leave. They, outsiders, would always suffer a bit, so it was better to accept the situation as soon as possible.
Everyone's heart was pounding when they heard it, and they felt that what he said made sense.
If their entire family was wiped out, they would definitely find an outlet to vent their anger.
All of a sudden, everyone couldn't sit still and wanted to leave quickly. They didn't dare to stay any longer.
Their boats are not small boats, they cost tens of thousands, and they are all new. They have not yet started to make a lot of money, and they have not even recovered their capital.
"Then what should we do? Then we should just go home? Anyway, we are still trawling the net. We can drag it home..."
"No...the fishing boat is still parked at the pier. It will get dark soon. Let's take the boat to the middle of the sea first..."
"Let's dock the boat again first, and quickly have people go to the boat to take a look."
Ye Yaodong said one last time, "Then you go ahead and think about it carefully on the way. After finally getting out, we have to make a lot of money before going back. It will definitely not be a problem for our few boats to go to the boat market."
"There is Uncle Zheng above now. He has been urging us to go up, so it will definitely be no problem to let him find a place for us to stay in advance."
"Think about it, everyone. We happen to have a phone call with him the day after tomorrow. You can also find out in person the day after tomorrow."
Everyone frowned and had a hard time making a choice.
In fact, I am not willing to go back like this. If I don't make a lot of money, it is equivalent to a wasted trip.
"Then let's wait until the day after tomorrow to find out more about it first."
"Let's go ahead and arrange the fishing boat for the evening, and we'll discuss it in detail in the next two days."
"You also need to tell the other fishing boats. After all, they all belong to the same village or a nearby village, and they all come out together."
A Guang said: "Yes, I definitely have to tell everyone. It's up to them to choose. If they are willing to go up with us, they can go up together. If not, just stay here and go back on your own when the time comes."
After everyone tentatively agreed to think about it, they all hurried to the dock to make arrangements.
Ye Yaodong was frightened, and they all felt that they would not be able to sleep at night. They had to stay on the ship personally and lie down on the deck to sleep.
Father Ye and Father Pei did not leave. They just told the people on duty at night to drive the boat to the middle of the sea. Then the two old men looked at Ye Yaodong and A Guang.
"Why are you so bold and decisive?"
"I haven't decided yet. Didn't I discuss this with you?" Aguang said.
"Yes, isn't this asking for everyone's opinions?"
Father Ye glanced at Ye Yaodong, "With all the talk you just said, aren't you just asking them to go with you? After convincing them, it would be easier to tell others."
"I really want to go. Let's discuss it now and list everything out. Let's think about it and then decide."
Father Pei sighed, "Old Zheng has been encouraging me since the past few years. I just think that the family is safe and stable, and A Guang doesn't want to move."
"If you want to go up there, it's actually okay. They will know better. They are all old friends for decades. They must be making money to keep calling. Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the risk themselves a few days ago.
Already."
"Of course, I must also feel that it will be safer if I have more people, so I have been keeping in touch with you and wanted to ask you to go up together."
Ye Yaodong responded, "Well, as long as my father agrees, my eldest and second brothers don't think it's a big problem. It just depends on whether Zhou Da and the other brothers want to follow. You think about it and we'll talk about it the day after tomorrow."
A Guang and his son both nodded, then walked out and went back first.
Ye Yaodong and Ye's father whispered for a long time, and they didn't shut up until they fell asleep.
He also put his hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling and thinking about the arrangements at home.
The next day, he called Aqing, reported that he was safe, told her about the current situation, and told her his next plan.
Lin Xiuqing was silent and didn't know what to say. She was thousands of miles away and there was no way she could stop him.
When did he really ask someone for his opinion? He had already made a decision in his heart, and then under the guise of discussing it, he actually informed her.
She objected, but he also had a lot of reasons to convince her.
What's more, he's not around now.
"You should see for yourself. Discuss with dad and the others more. If there are not many people, don't go. If there are more people, you will have someone to look after you. It will be safer. After all, you are going to another place."
"I know, we are discussing it. I will give you a call when I make a decision. Now let me tell you in advance."
"Okay, then you don't need to send money back. Keep some extra money with you in case you need anything."
"Well, I'm not here. You have to go to the market occasionally to inspect the accounts. Then bring a few more people, two for women and two for men. It will be safer on the road. And Wang Jianxin, I will give it to you later.
Dad made a phone call and sent him to work as a salesman. Then he would be given a certain commission and asked to go out and sell fish sauce."
"Okay, as long as you make arrangements."
Ye Yaodong gave another instruction, and there was nothing else to arrange. Everything was in order.
Only the fish sauce fermented in large batches has not yet stabilized, which makes him a little worried.
However, the overseas Chinese in the past have also gotten on the line. If they need to call home, Ah Qing can arrange it.
Thinking of this, he asked Ah Qing to answer the phone to Secretary Chen, so that he could explain again that he was not at home recently and the village committee should help look after his home.
After everything was explained, he felt relieved.
And I don’t know how the news spread in the past two days. Other fishing boats also knew that they intended to follow Uncle Zheng to Zhoushi, and they came to inquire one after another.
He had no choice but to make it public and ask his father and workers to tell the people who came to the door over and over again, so that they could go back and think about it.
In fact, these people also have to look at the big ship's decision before they can decide whether to follow or not.
Although the catch this year is not as good as previous years, everyone has considered the worst plan before going out, and now it is pretty good.
Last year, those who were caught had to spend money to redeem themselves and the ship. They didn't make much money if they stayed on, but they just didn't lose money. This year, they are safe now, and most of them are better off than last year.
So after everyone knew about it, everyone started to feel a little hesitant again.
Everyone wants to make a lot of money, but they are worried about the dangers and the distance. At the same time, they don't understand the situation yet. They want to hear what other people say before making a choice, but they have no idea.
This also led to the fact that when I was waiting to talk to Uncle Zheng on the phone next time, dozens of people crowded into the post and telecommunications office, almost scaring the staff inside to death.
What he said when he opened his mouth was not in the local dialect, but at first glance he looked like a foreigner, so everyone rushed in and even rushed to the counter.
Fortunately, Aguang and Ye Yaodong made several phone calls back and forth, and they became familiar with each other. After comforting them, the staff reluctantly allowed them to call, but they also looked at them warily.
It wasn't until I saw them walking out after making the phone call that I breathed a sigh of relief, and then I dared to sit down and curse behind their backs.
Ye Yaodong walked out and followed the others while chatting, "You heard the sound just now, and I've asked you the questions you want to ask. Let's go back and discuss it."
"Are you sure you want to go?"
"Are all your big ships going?"
"Then I have to ask my eldest brother and Zhou Da. There is no problem with A Guang and I. Let's see if they are willing to take two boats. You can also take a look. If there are many people who are willing to go up with us, we will go up. Please
It depends on what one wants."
Aguang said: "Let's go back to a few big ships to discuss it, and then tell everyone. If we all go, it will be safer for everyone to follow. After all, there are many people."
"Yes, it will definitely depend on whether you big ships go there. If you all go, it will be difficult for everyone to make money here. I will definitely be inclined to follow you. After all, you can really make money by following A Dong."
"Yes, you can really make money by following A Dong. We made money last year and the year before that."
“It feels like there are a lot more fishing boats this year, as well as local ones, and it’s really difficult here...”
Ye Yaodong said: "Let's talk about it when we get back. You can't trust me blindly. If I can't make money, then I won't be a sinner?"
"That won't..."
Chapter completed!
