Back to the small fishing village in 1982

Chapter 1110: All is Well

After deducting the freight and fuel costs, the Harvest can make a net profit of about 700 yuan today.

Ye Yaodong felt that they were at a disadvantage this time because the distance was far, which meant that they had to use their entire new ship for transportation, leaving them with little free time for salvaging.

However, it is really impossible to calculate it so clearly. When dealing with each other, there will always be times when you suffer losses and times when you take advantage.

For example, when they go into the water to catch hairtail, they use their own small boat. This is taking advantage because they are both relatives and friends.

A lot of times, things are confusing, and we have to be humble to each other in order to maintain harmony. If we are so petty, there is no need to be friends or relatives.

In addition, the Harvest is also under their control, so they have the final say on how to arrange it.

After seeing his earnings today, A Guang slapped his thigh and regretted it.

"Fuck, you've made all the money. Look, you've made almost three times what my family makes. If I had known earlier, I should have learned from you and bought two small wooden boats and tied them behind me before we set out. The difference in income is too big."

"It's also very troublesome. We have to arrange food and drink for dozens of people..."

"If I can earn that much money, I'm willing to do anything no matter how troublesome it is. It's just feeding a few dozen people. If there hadn't been an accident, you could have rented a house and hired two people to cook. It would have been easier than anyone else."

Ye Yaodong smiled. "There's no such thing as knowing it in advance. I still have a mess to clean up here. There are more people on my ship who survived than any of you, and I don't know how to solve it. It's impossible to release everyone unconditionally. I think even if some are released, they will probably have to pay a sum of money. This is the best ending."

"That's true. The more people there are, the greater the risk." Ah Guang thought for a moment and said, "You said... those who participated in the gunfight, if they are shot or imprisoned for life, then their ship..."

Ye Yaodong looked at him in surprise. "How dare you! We were outsiders involved in this. We were lucky enough not to be caught. How dare you still covet those ships?"

"Think better of it, it's not against the law."

"Let's talk about it later. We haven't dealt with the people yet, so don't think about the boat anymore."

"Today is the first day. Three days later, it will be the day after tomorrow. We will go to the Coast Guard the day after tomorrow."

"Well, the fishing boat over there is back."

"The truck hasn't come yet. I guess we have to ask them to wait."

The two continued chatting there, and only started to work again after the truck came.

After the truck arrived, other fishing boats also came over with their cargoes and lined up. Those fishing boats were cooperating with each other in pairs, and their profits were combined.

They did not have as many people as the Harvest, and of course they did not salvage as much as the Harvest, and the catch had to be divided equally, so each boat only made more than 300 yuan, less than 400 yuan, and this included the money from selling jellyfish blood the day before.

But this amount of money made everyone smile and feel extremely satisfied. They took the money on the spot and divided the two boats immediately.

However, what they didn't know was that Ye Yaodong's catch alone accounted for more than 1/3 of all their fishing boats.

He also took advantage of this. When confronting other local fishing boats, the small wooden boat was really not worth mentioning and was not taken seriously by the other side. They only looked at the larger fishing boats. However, as for making money, the small boat did make a lot of money.

While other fishing boats were running back and forth delivering goods and selling them, the small boat was firmly rooted in the trench, fishing without stopping all day long.

Fortunately, he came back early to sell the goods. No one could see him receiving the goods, and only A Guang knew how much he sold them for. The other boatmen were busy, so only the two of them saw the cargo list.

Let everyone know that they should be envious, jealous and hateful. Although everyone knows that you have made a lot of money, if the money is not put in front of you, there will be room for imagination and speculation.

Ye Yaodong lent a hand and helped for a while. After taking a look at the catch of several boats, he returned to the boat, took his own washbasin and towel, and went to take a shower.

He still had a pile of jellyfish blood on his boat that hadn't been cooked, and a lot of people were busy running around, so they didn't join in to collect the blood.

While he was selling his goods, the boatmen had already been cooking and drying the jellyfish there, and everyone had their meal on the way back.

Today's three trips caught more than 4 kilograms of jellyfish, and a lot of jellyfish blood was scraped out. Everyone was still busy there in turns. Both boats had coal stoves burning at the same time, and a big pot was set up there to cook. Even a bamboo flat was placed on the small boat to dry it.

Fortunately, they all came back very late, and there were not many people on the dock. Even those who like to stay out until 8 o'clock would not come back at most after dark. So a group of them gathered on the dock to sell goods, and no one saw them as they were busy.

Today, all the fishing boats have already salvaged enough cargo in the trench. It seems to them that the heavy rain season has arrived, but to other local people, it is not the real heavy rain season yet and they have to wait another two or three days.

There is a trench there, so the peaks are densely populated.

Now it can be considered that they have picked up another advantage for these remaining troops.

We have caught so many today, and tomorrow will not be any different. In addition, with the large number of jellyfish caught today, the amount of jellyfish blood produced will not be less, and we will make more money tomorrow.

He stood on the deck, enjoying the breeze, calculating the quantity in his mind. According to the previous ratio of 100 to kilograms per kilogram of dried jellyfish blood, he could probably produce about kilograms of dried jellyfish blood tomorrow...

scare!
His eyes widened. He didn't know until he calculated it. He was shocked.

While he was surprised and hadn't figured out whether he had calculated wrong, the boatman next to him ran over and asked him.

"Adong, there are no more bamboo flats for drying. Half of them fell when I was running yesterday. There weren't enough to begin with. There are more jellyfish blood today, so there's not enough to dry."

"Drag the fishing net from the grocery store out and spread it on the deck. That fishing net has also been washed."

"Row."

He felt excited, as his income tomorrow could increase by more than 1000 yuan, which meant he could earn to yuan a day, more than three times what he earned at his peak last year.

"If I make money, it's okay if it's a little troublesome."

He couldn't help but feel regretful. If they could rent a house and hire two people to cook, they would really save a lot of trouble.

He still had to wait a few days before making a long-term plan, but this also made him more determined. He still had to coexist peacefully with the locals in order to achieve a win-win situation.

I don't expect to be able to make money long term by occupying that place, but I can earn three to four thousand yuan a day, which is worth it for a few days.

Fishing nets have to be laid out on the big boat to dry, and the extra people can only go to No. 002 first.

By the time they finished all their work, it was nearly ten o'clock. Ye Yaodong asked them to go back to the guesthouse, and he continued to drive the boat to the center of the sea. He even left one person to sleep on the deck tonight.

There are more goods on the deck today, so we have to be on guard.

If a trawler approaches, the noise of its machinery will wake them up, but if a small wooden boat comes by, they are sleeping in the cabin and really won't feel anything.

After the success of peaceful coexistence on the first day, everyone tasted the sweetness and got up early in the morning on the second day with high spirits and set out for the trench before dawn.

No one is waiting for anyone else, for fear of being a step behind others and getting less.

The Dongsheng and Fengshou were still the first to arrive. When they arrived, the sky was already turning pale, and there were already many local fishing boats on the sea in the trench, and there were still ships behind them that had not arrived yet.

They also tacitly agreed not to approach the local fishing boats that were already salvaging, and chose a densely populated area of ​​the sea that was some distance away from them to salvage.

It was early morning and there weren’t many jellyfish on the sea, and fortunately there weren’t many fishing boats either.

As soon as everyone arrived at the place, they took their positions, and the Harvest had already started working.

When the fishing boat behind them arrived, they had already salvaged a lot.

This time they left early and returned late, so they did not attract the attention of the fishermen in the city, nor were they followed.

Many fishing boats came over one after another. Everyone kept an eye on the number of fishing boats on the sea and estimated that it was about the same as yesterday. After it was completely bright, no fishing boats came straight here. Everyone continued to fish peacefully and maintained a tacit understanding.

Ye Yaodong replicated the previous day's trajectory, and when all the small wooden boats came to deliver goods, he began to return to sell the goods.

After running around all day, today's income is not worse than yesterday's. Together with yesterday's jellyfish blood, I sold more than 2600 yuan in three trips in one day. Together with 110 kilograms of jellyfish blood, the total sales were 4000 yuan.

After a peaceful win-win situation, everything became simple and tacit afterwards. Everyone kept their promises, fearing that their peace would be destroyed and that more ships would come to share the profits, thus reducing their income.

On the third day, the money Ye Yaodong earned from selling the items climbed back to 3.

Ye Yaodong sold the catch for about 10600 yuan during the three days of fishing.

However, three days after the appointment, he had to make time to go to the Coast Guard. Although he was reluctant, people were more important than money. His father was also there. Others could not go, but he had to go to ask about the result.

So after returning in the morning to sell the goods, he did not go out to sea, but handed the Dongsheng to a trusted boatman on the ship.

Anyway, everyone is familiar with the fishing process, which does not require any technical skills. Just go back to the trench, collect another wave of catch from your own fishing boats, and then continue to deliver it to the shore.

After explaining something, he went ashore and headed straight for the Coast Guard Station. He was going alone this time. A Guang was still receiving the goods on the shore, and the other people's fishing boats were still behind. There was no way to wait, and it was useless for others to follow him.

He ran to the Coast Guard Bureau in a disheveled state, and Zeng Weimin was already waiting in the office.

Seeing him soaked all over, his face covered in sweat, and smelling of the sea, I was a little surprised.

"Running fast?"

"I just got back from the sea. I didn't want to delay your get off work, so I rushed over here."

"We are going out to sea to catch jellyfish these two days."

"Yes, with dozens of people following us, we can't just sit there and do nothing. Even though a lot of people were arrested, we still have to live our lives."

Zeng Weimin nodded. "The gunfight is a serious matter. We are still discussing it in meetings. We haven't reached a conclusion yet, but I have already asked about it. Your dad...oh, the guy you call dad, was also in there, and he didn't suffer any injuries."

Ye Yaodong had already expected this, so he didn't look disappointed or relieved.

"Thank you, and thank you for your trouble. I'm glad to know that he is not injured and is safe in there. As for when we can expect the result."

"Wait another week and see. Tomorrow is the weekend again."

The time is not too long and it is acceptable.

"Then I'll come back next Friday?"

"Okay, we should be able to reach a conclusion internally by next Friday."

He asked tentatively: "Since the leader has understood the cause and result of the incident, how do you think this matter should be handled in the future?"

"It's hard to say. Of course, those who have killed someone should be shot, there's no doubt about that. The people at the scene will also be shot or sentenced to life imprisonment, depending on the extent of their involvement. Those who were caught on the spot will be sentenced to three to five years. As for you..."

Ye Yaodong looked over with hope.

"We need to discuss this. He was involved, but he didn't participate substantially. But he's not innocent either. He was involved in the incident at sea during the day, but he escaped quickly to protect himself. Although he was arrested later, it can also be said that the locals were the first to take action..."

"so……"

"So you will still be punished, because you were caught red-handed, but I will try my best to protect you and give you a lighter punishment. It's just that there are too many salvage problems caused by the flood season. It's not just you, there are also fights in other waters. When the time comes, there will be corresponding plans and policies to restrict it."

"You should catch as much as you can in the next few days. But there must not be any more conflicts. If something like this happens again, I will have to pack up and leave."

Ye Yaodong didn't understand what the future plan or policy was, but at least he had these few days of buffer time to make some money, so he was content.

He also knew that his father was safe and that the leader would help protect him, so he felt much more at ease.

"Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much. We really just want to make money safely. We will definitely not do anything rash and embarrass the local leaders."

"I know it's not always easy to be away from home. Just remember not to cause trouble."

"Okay, sure. I won't disturb you at work for now. I'll come back in a week to ask about the results."

"Ah."
