"That's not true, it's just that I spent a few years fishing for jellyfish in Wenzhou."
You can tell by his accent that he is not from Wenzhou, and he doesn't dare to lie to others.
"Yes, yes, our jellyfish flood season has just ended. I thought about it when it was almost over. It was a typhoon that delayed it until yesterday. What a coincidence. I heard that there is also a fishery association in the city.
Specially adjusted to deal with the chaos during jellyfish fishing.”
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "Next time I'll show you the certificate of the vice president of the Fisheries Association. I've been here for two months."
"Okay, that's great. Brother, you just said that I'm so young and so powerful. Are you talking about yourself clearly? I'm already over 40, and you're only in your 20s. If you hadn't said that you could show me the certificate,
You showed me the way when I came here, and I almost suspected that you were bragging."
"What's so bragging about? If you say you have a certificate when you don't have one, wouldn't that be a slap in the face every minute?"
"That's it, you are really good at it. A foreigner who is still so young can become the vice president. Is there anyone here?"
Ye Yaodong chuckled without saying anything clearly.
But no one is stupid. If you think about it casually, it would be much more difficult for a foreigner to become the vice president than a local one.
Who would believe it without some background?
What's more, he looks so young and even more powerful.
He slapped his forehead and said, "Oops, I was confused. I forgot to mention that my name is Li Shouquan. You sell the goods first. We are also going to sea. Everyone is still waiting. I just happened to see the Dongsheng.
Come and take a look and see who can help us with the directions. Today, some fishing boats were so scared that they ignored us and even asked for directions."
"Of course, you don't know how chaotic this area is. Everyone is very vigilant. They generally won't allow strange fishing boats to approach without calling for help. Some time ago, pirates pretended to be fishing boats and approached, and then robbed the boats, killed people, and robbed the goods.
, very dangerous.”
"Hey, I've only heard about the chaos here. I didn't expect this. Thank you for reminding me."
"What's there to thank you for? You'll know the extent of the chaos here after you stay for two days, and my name is Ye Yaodong..."
"Remember, Comrade Ye Yaodong, I will leave first and contact you later. I still remember the channel. When you go to sea, remember to change the channel and we will chat again. You are busy with your work, I am leaving."
"OK."
The two only chatted briefly, but they also met each other.
Ye Yaodong has always believed that when you go out, the more friends you have, the better. Multiple friends, multiple paths.
It doesn't matter how we met, as long as we can have goodwill towards each other.
What's more, doesn't he, the vice-president of the Vancouver Municipal Association, naturally make people feel very friendly when they hear him? He also has an official name, so he naturally has trust.
Of course he had to take advantage of it, as he might have an opportunity to make money.
He just spent 100,000 yuan to go out, and Aguang still owed 35,000 yuan. He was also in urgent need of making money to fill the hole.
The boss next to me, who had agreed on the price and was waiting to be weighed, listened to their chat and pricked up his ears.
As soon as he finishes speaking, answer the question immediately.
"Are you still the vice president of the Vancouver Fisheries Association? Is that true?"
Next to him, Chen Zhihua said: "Of course it's true. If it's fake, our boss still has an official certificate with his name, surname and photo."
Ye Yaodong also smiled and said: "Yes, that old man pointed the way to him just now when he was at sea. I just met him and was recognized by him. I also knew that he was from Wen City, so I mentioned two
sentence."
"I am also from Wenzhou."
"Ah, it turns out he's also the boss of Wen City. He's so awesome. All his business has come here."
"Hey, it's just a casual meal. My name is Jin Laixi. Let me see what else you have. When you are away from home, you just see the people in your hometown being friendly. You don't accept the goods from anyone."
Ye Yaodong was overjoyed and did not deny it. He didn't know if he had heard everything just now. Anyway, there were many dialects in Wen City.
It cannot be said that he speaks Mandarin. He has bought a house in Vancouver, and of course he is also half a New Vancouverite!
"Boss Xida has a good name. The two guys I met in the evening both have good names. One is Shouguan and the other is Laixi. It seems that I am going to have great luck."
"Hahaha... How can you sell this black mullet?"
"I pay whatever other people pay. I have tens of thousands of kilograms piled on the deck. I guess they are loading them now."
"Ah? Tens of thousands of kilograms? You just carried a lot of goods. How big is your ship?"
"Then I have more boats, more than twenty of them, large and small. Four boats worked together to catch them in the afternoon. They were all over 20 meters long. They were all caught in one catch. Can Boss Xida take all of them? Or just a little."
He was extremely surprised. People should not be judged by their appearance. He looked only about 20 years old. Are the more than 20 boats real or fake?
It sounded a bit fake, so he just dismissed it as bragging. He was talking about business without going into details, and just said flattering words.
"It's awesome, the young people are awesome. I know a few bosses in Wenzhou City. It's almost enough to divide them up. You give them a name and I'll have people go find them. They should all be still at the dock."
Ye Yaodong was even happier. Did he do a good deed today and be rewarded immediately?
I thought that so many goods would have to be sold until dawn, but I didn’t expect that they would be sold out all at once.
Even the Haitian sweet potatoes, which were supposed to be kept for drying, were bought at a high price.
"Thank you, Boss Xida. I will have people load the goods on the ship right away and carry them down for weighing. Do you want to take a look at the other goods as well?"
Without Ye Yaodong's instructions, the clever boatman had already rushed to the ship to call for help, and quickly loaded the cargo on the deck and lifted it off.
Jin Laixi picked out some fish, mainly small yellow croaker and white pomfret, and took advantage of the free time to weigh them together.
Ye Yaodong sold more than half of them.
At this time, his eldest and second brothers also hurriedly asked Jin Laixi if he needed any goods from them. They reported all the goods on the ship as if they were giving out the names of the dishes.
The sellers around me didn't have much business, so they all came over to sign up for the dishes.
Ye Yaodong also helped promote his two brothers.
Jin Laixi shook his head, "No need, it's enough. I won't be able to eat any more. I have to find a few people to share that batch of black mullets."
Both brothers were a little disappointed and thought they could clear some goods along the way.
Dongzi is lucky and can meet noble people wherever he goes.
Ye Yaodong's heart moved. He touched the cigarette in his pocket and pulled out two cigarettes for him. He asked casually: "Boss Xida, are the friends you called over to share the mullet all from Wen City?"
"Yes, we all got to know each other when we came here. Outsiders are not so friendly. Of course, it is more reliable to get together with local fellows. My fellow fellows will be kinder and will help each other if we have any difficulties."
"Yes, tens of thousands of people move around the dock here every day. It's very chaotic, and all kinds of things can happen. Of course, it's easier to survive if you stay together, and you're less likely to run into danger. If something happens, you can have a discussion.
.”
"That's right, so everyone gathered together."
He smiled and said: "Then you can organize it and set up a Vancouver Chamber of Commerce. If there are other local businessmen in Vancouver, they will definitely join after hearing about it."
"Everywhere is not peaceful these days. Wouldn't it be better for you businessmen if those who are away from home can organize themselves together?"
"Nowadays, those who can hang out outside have some strength, and they are brave enough to fight and enter. After the group grows, won't we be able to help each other more when there are difficulties? Isn't the living space bigger?"
"As long as the group's base is large enough and its strength is strong enough, the government will also pay attention to it."
He knows that there will be a Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce everywhere in the future. How famous are the bosses in Wenzhou?
If he casually mentions something now, it will be a good thing in the future.
If you can come out and have fun now, you will definitely be able to do the same in the future.
When Jin Laixi heard these words, her heart really moved. It made so much sense.
The people in Vancouver who know each other are all introduced to each other by friends, and if they join a group, wouldn't the whole name bring more people together?
The collective power is greater.
Ye Yaodong added: "The government can organize a fishery association, and of course the private sector can also have it, but it must not harm society. Businessmen like you are in a group just to take care of each other and help each other, who cares?"
"That makes sense! Comrade Ye Yaodong is still wise. After hearing what you said, I suddenly understood. Aren't we just short of a reputation now? Having a reputation will certainly attract our local businessmen more than those from outside.
People from my hometown are more worthy of trust."
Jin Laixi looked at him with bright eyes, as if looking at treasure.
"I know why you became the vice-president of the Fisheries Association. It must be true. You are so good at talking and talking about things. Your suggestions are pertinent. You are far-sighted and awesome."
"Haha, I'm just going to say whatever I want, as long as you think it's pertinent."
"You still have twenty more boats?"
I originally thought it was bragging, but now it doesn’t sound like bragging.
"It's almost the same, big and small. There are about 200 people in our village here. If there weren't so many people, they wouldn't dare to come here."
About 200 people, sounds like that...
Jin Laixi nodded with emotion, "Yes, there are not many relatives and friends from the same village, how dare you come here. You are so awesome, and you can have more than 200 people following you. It seems that everyone in your village is very
I believe you."
"More than just convinced, Brother Dong is famous throughout our villages. He is the signature of our village."
"Yes, most of our village depends on him for food now."
Ye Yaodong looked at the people beside him and said with a smile: "Stop bragging and making others laugh."
"We told the truth and we were conservative."
"Yes, kelp farming has been carried out in the village now. I called back a few days ago and the whole village has participated. There will be a bumper harvest next year and the whole village will be able to make a lot of money from Adong."
"A Dong alone led the whole village to become rich."
Ye Yaodong waved his hands quickly, "No, don't say that. Hurry up. The black mullet has been lifted down. Hurry up and weigh it. Hurry up and record the weight for me. Don't just talk."
"Okay..."
Jin Laixi gave him a thumbs up, "Let me just say, I just heard that you are extraordinary. What young man can become the vice president of a city association at a young age..."
"Not only that, our boss is the vice president of the fishery associations of two provinces, not just Wenzhou..."
"oh?"
Ye Yaodong smiled and changed the subject, "If Boss Xida sets up a Vancouver Chamber of Commerce, he can probably include the entire dock, including Vancouver's boat bosses or fishmongers, etc. Then he will have a special say in this dock.
Already."
"Everyone can have an organization and be protected. In case of any business dealings, it may be safer. It's better than dealing with outsiders."
Jin Laixi's expression changed.
"Brother, you are really good."
"I'm just talking casually, haha. Originally, there are tens of thousands of people coming and going on this pier every day. If you have more people, the safety factor is higher. Others don't dare to mess with you at will. Otherwise, there will be some people who specialize in bullying, and this is how chaos will come.
of."
"Yes, I didn't come here in vain today. Fortunately, I met you. Comrade Ye Yaodong is so young, but his brain is very useful. Let's discuss it when we go back. If something happens again, we will definitely invite you to come out today.
It’s worth the trip.”
"Hey, I'm only half from Wenzhou..."
"The boss still has a factory in Wenzhou and bought a house..."
Ye Yaodong glanced at Chen Zhihua and realized that he was the best at talking.
"You...how much identity do you have? My God, your workers say one sentence at a time, and every sentence surprises me."
"Haha, I told him to shut up."
"You really surprised me, little brother, haha, would it be convenient to leave a contact address?"
"It's convenient. I'll write it down for you. It's hard to remember just by talking about it."
"OK."
The two of them left each other an address, and there were workers nearby. The workers called the workers' goods, and the two of them chatted about what they had said.
The two chatted very happily, as if they had found a soulmate.
The main reason is that Ye Yaodong is good at talking, choosing what people like and talking about that they are interested in.
Everything Jin Laixi said to him was just to brag. He looked so young that it was hard to imagine that he had that kind of family background.
We just had a casual chat, which directly overturned my narrow vision. What I just said was not just a vision, it was a far-sighted vision.
The two of them chatted more and more passionately.
After a while, one of Jin Laixi's friends was brought over, and then he sent people to continue looking.
The area near the pier is the busiest at night, with fishing boats of all sizes docking constantly. The stalls here also have the largest flow of people, and it’s not that easy to find a few acquaintances.
Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry. Someone had already contracted the goods anyway, so he just stood there and chatted with them.
As for the people who had just been brought over, Jin Laixi introduced them to each other, gave him a good blowjob, and repeated what he had just said.
This made the fishmonger who had just arrived look at him with interest, and wanted to ask him for advice.
Ye Yaodong said: "Haha, the pier here is full of people and it is very noisy. It is not a place for talking. If you have any questions, please find a private place to chat slowly. Now let's talk about goods."
His goods haven't been sold out yet, so let's collect all his goods first. Don't let him teach for so long for free. At least, collect his goods first and use them as class fees.
"Yes, that's right. We are here to receive the goods, so we should talk about the goods first. Ye Yaodong has a batch of black mullet here, which weighs about 60,000 to 70,000 pounds. It is too much for me, so I thought of calling a few people.
Call me over and share it."
"Okay, black mullet roe is a good thing and Taiwanese businessmen like it."
"He also has some other goods, you can check them out..."
They were picking the goods, and soon there were two more people. Then they pointed at his goods, distributed them randomly, and divided them all up.
If it wasn't enough, he also went to his eldest and second brother's side to clean up a little bit.
He didn't need to worry about anything. He just told him the normal price at a terminal and everyone was fine with it.
This is also the easiest time for him to sell goods. He doesn't need to be blown by the cold wind on the dock for a long time.
It's slightly cool in early autumn, but there are no buildings blocking the pier, and the wind is the strongest.
Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua next to them were envious. Even the workers were envious that they could finish work early and go back without blowing the wind.
But there was nothing they could do. The two brothers had nothing in their minds and their mouths were not very good at talking. If they wanted to have a conversation, they didn't know what to say, so they could only stare.
They didn't wait long after collecting the goods. People were coming and going on the dock. There were so many goods and so many cars that they had to be taken away and processed quickly.
Ye Yaodong carried a bag full of money and held it tightly without letting go. He shouted to others to collect the baskets, poles and other items first, then take them to the boat and lock them up.
"Dongzi, how do you know so much..." Ye Yaopeng couldn't help but ask.
"Ah, whatever you think of, just say whatever comes to mind. It won't hurt me anyway, and I'm not the one doing all this, so what does it matter if I just talk about it."
"But most people never figure it out."
"Then your brother, can I be an ordinary person? I can become an ordinary person and become better and better, and I know more and more people."
Ye Yaohua agreed and said: "Yes, Dongzi is very talkative."
"I've sold out. I won't wait for you and will go back first."
"OK."
There was also a basket of shellfish that Ye Yaodong dug during the day on the boat, and a basket of Haitian sweet potatoes that was just enough for a load.
There were also some leftovers from the other fish products, and two loads were picked.
The knives and guns were also covered with something, and they carried a load, just in case. This has been done for a long time recently, and everyone would carry a load on the way back and forth anyway.
Everyone happily walked home from the pier.
"Boss, it's you who can do it. With just a few words, people can buy all our goods, hahaha..."
"Sure enough, his sharp tongue is very popular."
"Who said that? It has to be A Dong's own ability. I asked you to say it. Are you right? It's a good thing that people don't treat you as a lunatic."
"Hahaha……"
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "It's just a quick chat, a casual chat. Originally, I was chatting casually with that Li Shouquan, but I didn't expect that this boss is also from Wen City."
"Boss, are you eyeing the shop skins of the group that Li Shouquan just arrived? Do you want to build a relationship? Then let the fresh harvest ship collect their shop skins?"
"Smart, but I don't know what the situation is like in their team. That's why I think about it myself. Anyway, they have many friends from many walks of life, and they are the ones who came to me. It's not a bad idea to treat them as acquaintances."
"Yes, if you go out and meet a few more friends, you will definitely feel better."
Ye Yaodong said again: "That boss Jin was quite surprised, but I was just bragging about it."
"Haha, when they organize the Vancouver Chamber of Commerce, you will be the president again."
Everyone laughed.
"It's going to be a long time, but it's good to get to know each other well. At least you don't have to worry about no one picking up the goods. And if they can really integrate some businessmen from Vancouver or the boss of the ship on the dock, it will be really useful.
of."
Not to mention other things, the boats that can come here to fish are not small boats, and the bosses of the boats are all powerful.
The same goes for merchants. They must have some channels and connections to sell goods before they can come to the dock here to beg for food.
If we really want to integrate the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, then the channels within the chamber of commerce will be widened.
Maybe we can bring him a few more fishing boats, and then add a few more bosses who can regularly receive the goods, so that he doesn't have to worry about selling the goods, and he can implement a one-stop service internally.
He knew that many fishmongers had a fixed number of ships to receive their goods.
Those ships are very relaxed. When they go out to sea, they have already announced in advance when they will come back. After docking, the goods can be taken away as soon as possible, and there is no need to bother setting up a stall.
This kind of people are familiar with each other or have worked with them many times.
"You are still smart and think quickly..."
"This is actually beneficial to them all. Some people come here, maybe just two or three people working alone, or two or three cargo ships coming here to work. There is no way out and they can only follow the masses."
Didn't Uncle Zheng and his friend do the same thing back then? The two of them came right over to take the lead.
But how risky is it here? Of course, it seems safe if there are more people.
If Boss Jin goes to rectify the Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, it will be beneficial to most people, but you still have to distinguish between a human and a ghost, but it is true that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
At least you can know some details. You must have an acquaintance to vouch for the membership and introduce and screen it.
That is to say, Li Shouquan left too quickly in the evening, and he was also selling goods there, so he couldn't spare any time. Otherwise, he would have to ask a few questions about the situation of their fleet.
But there is no rush, since they just went to sea at night anyway, and when they go out after two days of rest, they can go to sea and connect to the channel again.
He sighed in his heart, the communication was still too underdeveloped.
If you have a mobile phone, you can call at any time.
The VHF is on a fishing boat and can only be contacted at sea. However, there are mileage restrictions. If the distance is too far, contact cannot be made.
It’s no wonder that when Big Brother came out, ship owners who had some money would be so cruel that they would spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy one.
"It's really easy to make money at the pier here. When I save enough money, I will buy one and continue to follow A Dong."
Others quickly followed suit, and everyone probably knew how much profit they would make every day after the arrival of other ships.
They all envied Jill and turned purple, hating that she didn't have a boat.
Ye Yaodong also followed: "I can't guarantee that I will come here next year, but you can make a lot of money in the past six months, and if you put it together at home, you can buy a boat. This is a production tool. I didn't come here.
By the way, you can also make money by trawling the Internet at home. The difference is that you make more and less, but it is relatively safer at home anyway.”
"Haha, let's talk about next year next year."
"Those who didn't come with Adong in the past two months and are still staying in Wenzhou, I wonder if they will regret it."
"Definitely, the jellyfish flood season is almost over now, so they should go back."
"I called before the typhoon a few days ago and didn't hear anything about it. I guess after the typhoon passed in the past two days, all the fishing boats that stayed there should have gone back."
"I'm just taking a break. I'll call home tomorrow to report that I'm safe and to ask about it."
Everyone was chatting about how much money those people would earn on this trip? I guess they didn’t earn much, and they were all guessing that they couldn’t compare to last year’s success.
Everything you do is done one step later than others, and the money you earn is also one step later than others.
He also said that they were all left over from playing with Ye Yaodong.
Last year, Ye Yaodong made a lot of money by building a bunch of small wooden boats. This year, a lot of people followed suit, and even more boats followed suit. As a result, it was not easy to make money.
Moreover, their large force also ran to Zhoushi, and those small boats were probably depressed.
Even eating shit can't keep up with the heat.
But it is relatively foreseeable that next year there will be twice as many fishing boats in the village.
There are more than 200 people who came out this year. When they go back during the Chinese New Year, they can all have six or seven hundred dollars left over based on their salary. Some brothers and their sons have come out, and they can just scrape together enough to buy a boat.
There will definitely be a large increase in the number of fishing boats in the village next year, and the factory may not be able to make them, so they will have to book them elsewhere.
They were the first to arrive home, joking all the way. This was the first time so early, and Father Ye was even surprised.
After hearing the simple version of the ins and outs, I couldn't help but lament Ye Yaodong's bad luck and his talk, how good he was at being deceived.
Father Ye didn't think that just a few businessmen could organize any chamber of commerce. Subconsciously, he still felt that only the government could do it.
So he just ignored it and didn't care. He just thought Ye Yaodong was deceiving others and bought all the goods.
He just looked at the baskets of goods he brought back and asked, "What kind of bug is in this basket? It looks so strange and so big?"
Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "We found this on the island. Everyone else had goosebumps all over the floor. They felt disgusted and were busy collecting black mullet. I was the only one who took people to catch them there, so they all gave me an advantage. This
This thing sells for 60 cents per catty, you know it’s expensive, right?”
"Six cents! So high? The fish on the dock are constantly lowering their prices. How can this insect be sold so expensive?"
"Well, they haven't come back yet. When they come back, their legs will probably be bruised."
Ye Yaodong told his father again about the process of discovering the black mullet.
"So, not everyone has this kind of fortune. If you don't recognize it when you see it, it's no wonder you can't make a fortune."
"Yes, this is true. You can't really make money with things you don't know. It can only make other people who know how to make money."
"While you're still asleep, don't go to bed yet. Let's clean up first. Kill the unsold fish, pickle them, and dry them in the sun."
Chapter completed!
