Ye Yaodong was drinking duck soup to replenish his body and wondering if it would be feasible to dry dried squid.
This cost is huge, and it can’t be compared with fish costing just a few cents. The fresh squid itself costs several cents per pound. Although it is not as watery as the toad fish, it still has to be sold for a pound after it is dried.
You can earn just one or two yuan apiece.
This can only be tried when the price is low, with a few hundred kilograms drying. If it sells well, you can dry a large batch before the end of the flood season.
It has been tested this year and will have experience next year. If it is feasible, it can be implemented every year.
It's also because he has no experience and doesn't understand anything, so he can only try to explore and test it out. Fortunately, he has some money now, so he can still try and make mistakes, and he can afford to lose money.
Anyway, the things are all there, and it's best to put them in your own stomach or use them as favors.
If you think about it this way, you won't be particularly disadvantaged.
Then there are some people who invest in business, lose money, and then they are gone.
After all, it's dried in the sun, and it's yours to keep there.
With this in mind, he also made up his mind to try it near the end of the squid flood season. The initial price would be high, so he could sell it for a few days.
As soon as Father Ye came back, he saw him looking straight ahead, holding a spoon in his hand and not drinking soup. If he was distracted, he slapped him on the shoulder.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, dad..."
"Why can't you come back after a long time?"
Ye Yaodong put down the spoon and said seriously: "Dad, I'm thinking, let's bring the boat back in the past two days and clean it up first. Clean the barnacles that need to be cleaned, paint those that need to be painted, and let them dry for a few days.
It’s probably time to catch squid soon.”
"When the time comes, one person will have a boat, and two people will be required to help. On the island last year, we put more branches to attract squids to lay their eggs. The people at the border station will probably have withdrawn by then, so it should not affect our fishing.
"
When Father Ye heard that he was talking about business, he also agreed seriously, "That's okay. One person can make more money per boat, and there is no need to divide it. It doesn't cost much to hire two people."
"That's what I think. It's just in time for the squid's flood season. I can earn a little more. But there is another boat. I don't know when it can come back. I don't know if it can catch up with the flood season."
"What do you think?"
"I want to find another boat. If it can be brought back, I will take this boat to partner with my eldest brother and my second brother. At least we can catch squid during the flood season first. As for whether we want to join forces later, we will decide when the time comes.
What do you think?"
Father Ye was surprised. He thought he was going to give it to Ah Sheng and marry him.
"As my mother said this afternoon, the good news should not flow to outsiders."
Mother Ye stood aside and hurriedly chatted, "Yes, yes, yes, the wealth does not go to outsiders' fields. It is better to rent it to your eldest and second brothers and earn money for them than to earn money for outsiders. At least let them earn the money during the squid season."
Let’s go first, if we can just meet him.”
My son rents it to his own son, and he can make a profit for his own family, so what can Father Ye do not do?
"Okay, it would be better if you rent it to the eldest and second brothers. They will definitely be happy to take over. One person can drive a boat and ask two people to help. Two boats operating in one place can also prevent conflicts with other boats.
.”
Every year during the squid flood season, there will be fights over territory. It depends on who can occupy the space first this year.
"Yes, we control two boats ourselves, and leave the other boat to the eldest brother and the second brother, so that we will not be too busy."
In fact, it would be fine if he asked two more people to control the boat, but he felt that three boats fishing around the same island would be enough, and buying another one would be too inefficient.
Last year, Ah Zheng and the small boat fished with him, and they all fought side by side to fight off people. This year, it would feel too unauthentic if they were left to find other places on their own.
If we hire two people, and they only get paid two yuan a day, and we're not watching under our noses, we still don't feel at ease.
If you share it with others and they take half of it, of course they will work hard.
But since he wants to cooperate with others, it is better to cooperate with his eldest and second brothers. They have two boats in the same place, and there are many people, so they can have someone to take care of him.
"Then it's half?"
"It's not easy to split it in half. After all, they already have a boat. I was thinking of three people sharing two boats equally. This is equivalent to me buying a boat and taking a share, and they also buying a boat and taking a share, and then they
If two people contribute labor to manage the ship, they will have one share, so it can be regarded as 1/3 for one person, and the salary of the hired person and the fuel fee can be shared equally by the company."
This was the result of Ye Yaodong lying in bed and thinking about it for a long time after he woke up. He drank wine at noon and told Ah Qing that he was a little confused and didn't make sense.
After waking up, my mind feels clear and smooth.
After hearing this, Father Ye thought about it in his mind and felt that this was also feasible.
Originally, if Adong's boat was rented to them, they would only get 1/4 of it, but they had to bear the fuel and labor costs themselves, and he was not responsible.
Now one person accounts for 1/3, but the gas money and workers' wages can be shared equally by everyone, so there is no difference in calculation.
But there is an advantage: sharing the two boats together will avoid any suspicion among the brothers.
After all, the ship was not under Dongzi's nose and was rented to two brothers. If the eldest and second brothers moved the cargo back and forth on the ship, Dongzi would suffer a loss.
Even if the two brothers are honest and do not transfer, if one ship has more cargo and the other has less cargo, they will always have something in mind.
Even if you don't think too much, you can't stand the person next to you who keeps nagging you. If you nag too much, your thoughts will get distorted.
No matter how good the relationship between brothers is, it is always easy to be unclear about matters involving money.
In this way, the two ships can be divided together to avoid a series of conflicts caused by one ship having more cargo and the other having less cargo. This avoids misunderstandings caused by well-intentioned help.
"You can arrange it this way. The two boats will join together and the three brothers will share. After dinner, I will go with you and talk to your eldest and second brothers."
By the way, Father Ye has other ideas, and he plans to take this opportunity to talk to the boss and the second child together.
"Well, I just don't know when I can sail the boat. I have a good plan now. Don't delay for too long. Wait until the flood season is over before asking me to sail the boat."
"No, if they don't find anything on the island, they will probably deal with those things when they come back."
"Um."
Mother Ye grinned and said, "After I got back at noon, I went out for a walk. Word has spread that you have bought a boat. I will go and see it tomorrow and we can bring the boat back."
"Ah? The news has already spread?"
I just told his mother exactly this morning that she would go see her tomorrow and spread the word. I didn’t expect her to be so impatient...
"Oh, it doesn't matter if I tell you sooner or later, the only difference is this night. People didn't believe me when I told you. They also said that the squid flood season is coming soon. Who is so stupid as to sell the boat?"
"I just said that if someone owes a gambling debt, his hand will be cut off if he doesn't pay it within five days, so he can't wait. It's normal for this gambler to do anything."
Ye Yaodong felt a little relieved after hearing this. It is indeed not credible to say that someone is selling a boat at this juncture, but it is normal for a gambler who owes a loan shark to do such a thing.
His mother's operation can be regarded as solving this problem.
"Then I told you in advance. Depending on the date tomorrow, I will bring the boat back for maintenance."
"I'll go check it out tomorrow. It doesn't matter if there's no day approaching. I'll drive it back for maintenance first, and then go to the beach to set off some firecrackers when the day comes."
Father Ye said with a smile: "When I just came here, I heard everyone talking about you again, saying that you have become rich again. After buying a boat, you bought a shop, and after buying the shop, you bought a boat..."
Mother Ye also slapped her thigh excitedly, "Hey, if you come back with another boat in a few days, the village will be boiling. It's time to praise you for buying another boat..."
"No, I have to go out and talk about it then. I'll just say that your third boat was left by the border guard for you because of the leader's words. If there are people to support it, it will be different. Everyone can only admire it, not be angry!"
"If you say this, your reputation will be better. People will think that there is someone behind you, and you will be more polite to our family in the future. You will have more face when you go out..."
"Those who have bad intentions towards our family must be carefully considered. If they dare to do evil, we will arrest them all..."
The more Ye Mu talked, the more excited she got, and the more she talked, the more excited she became!
"Yes, yes, that's what we'll say when your third boat comes back. What we're saying is the truth, and the rest will be left to the folks to figure out."
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Ye Mu said was very reasonable.
It turns out that Dongzi not only followed his mother's words, but also followed his mother's cleverness!
His mother's mind is so lively and it moves so fast!
There is nothing wrong with what he said. Director Chen originally asked the border guards to keep it.
Ye Yaodong also gave his mother a thumbs up, "Mom, you know how to put gold in your own face."
Mother Ye glared at him with a smile and swatted his hand away, "What I said is true. As for what you think, that is the matter of the villagers. It is obvious to all that the leaders come to our house to have tea. Everyone must know that you and
If the leaders have good relationships, there are connections behind them.”
Father Ye also had to admire her for knowing how to raise a banner to protect herself.
Lin Xiuqing also smiled and praised, "Mom is really smart. Although the leaders come to our house for dinner and tea and rest, and the villagers see it, they don't know how good our relationship is with the leaders."
"Now, just leave a boat. Everyone has to take a high look at our family. People with evil intentions have to think carefully and don't dare to provoke us. After all, they are the Border Defense Brigade and the Maritime Safety Administration."
"And if our family does anything in the future, it will definitely be smoother in the village, and the village cadres will definitely have to give face."
Father Ye smiled and nodded, "That's the truth!"
The old lady also joked: "Dongzi has always been promising."
There is one more chapter. Don’t wait. I don’t know what time it is. I might finish it during the day tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
