"Okay, we don't have any objections anyway, we can settle the accounts anytime."

"Yes, you can come at your convenience. We are all at home anyway, so we can settle accounts anytime. Dongzi has a big business now and has so many ships. It is normal to be busy."

Everyone was on the right track, no one had any opinions, and no one asked for a second check.

Lin Xiuqing felt that it was easy and convenient, so she simply calculated the money that everyone wanted to share, and then wrote it down on the list for them to see.

"Then it's 50-50 if you don't have any objections. I'll go get the money for you."

After everyone got the money, they were even happier. Everyone who got the big or small points got it, and those who got the small points also knew it. Even though they only went there for a few days, they all felt good.

The amount given is small now, but it will naturally increase next month. Anyway, it is better than doing odd jobs or farming at home.

Ye Yaodong and his wife also did some calculations after they left. They had just divided half of it, and they also divided more than 2,100. In addition, the two brothers shared more than 100, and they also divided more than 2,200.

"It's pretty good. It's a flood season this month and we've got a lot of distribution. In addition to the more than 800 yuan settled in advance by the eldest and second brothers in the first half of the month, the total is 3,000 yuan this month. It seems that these boats last month were

We divided more than 800 yuan, which is more than three times more."

"Yeah, I'll get a little more this month, and next month there will be two more ships. I should be able to get more than 1,000, which can be used to pay wages."

"Oh, everyone's wages have to be settled tomorrow."

"I know, remember it."

"So, the money earned by these five ships every month is enough to pay the workers?"

Lin Xiuqing gave him a blank look, "When I'm counting money, I'm counting all the money I haven't earned yet. When it's time to pay, I can't think of how much money I've earned elsewhere? I just think about it.

How much salary do you pay?"

"The wages of more than 1,000 include four boatmen plus a father, five boys in the workshop plus a mother, in addition to the father and mother in the market, and the odd workers hired. After deducting these wages, the market will

The money collected from the store here and the money brought over by the Dongsheng can be regarded as a net profit."

"I just want to save some trouble and use the money earned from these boats to deduct expenses. This way I can easily calculate how much I earn, which is more convenient."

"But the money these boats earn every month is real. Together, they can earn a thousand yuan a month, which is quite stable. There is no need for any additional operation at all. After renting for a few months, the capital will be natural.

Just came back."

Ye Yaodong chuckled, "I'm thinking the same thing as you, I'm just saying this to make you anxious. Who doesn't know how much of these ships are net profits, and the expenses were originally incurred elsewhere.

of."

Lin Xiuqing listened to his sophistry and did not expose him. She just rolled her eyes at him and sorted out the goods list on the table. She would also put them away when she got back to the house.

Save it first, no matter whether it can be used or not, save it anyway.

"My eldest cousin and Brother Asheng split more than 900 yuan each, and 1,000 yuan each. After deducting gas and labor expenses, the two of them can earn about 700 yuan this month, which is a lot of money."

"This is the only month in the year. How can I earn so much in other months? Sometimes in the winter or during the rainy season, I may only go there for four or five days a month."

"It's okay. At least I can support my family. Then I can make a fortune by fishing for jellyfish in July."

"Have you ever said when our next boat will be delivered?"

"I didn't say, maybe we have to wait until next month. Anyway, the next production will be ours. Just wait for the delivery one by one."

"Then don't buy any more boats. There are already enough. When they save for two years, they will definitely buy their own boats and won't be able to rent any more. After all the debt repayments, I will understand in my heart.

You know, you must have your own boat to earn more."

Of course Ye Yaodong understood this, and he had seized an opportunity.

Just a few years ago, everything was in dire straits. Everyone was poor and didn't even have enough to eat. Those who could own a small wooden boat were considered to have very good living conditions.

Who can easily save some money and buy boats one after another like him?

He just stood on the edge of the storm, hugged several boats in his arms, and then asked others to help him make money.

After each of them has accumulated a little wealth, it will definitely be more cost-effective to book a ship by themselves, just like his eldest and second brothers did.

Nowadays, everyone is still relatively poor, and few people can afford it. In addition, the shipyard's orders have been filled up by him in the past two years. Even if someone wants to form a partnership, they can't get it.

However, after they have accumulated wealth for two years and go out alone, he is not afraid that no one will rent the boat. There will only be a small number of rich people, and there will only be more poor people than rich people. More people are willing to rush to rent the boat.

his ship.

"I know that placing so many orders at once is just to occupy the production volume during this period. By next year and the year after, they will probably have the money to fly solo. We have such a large quantity to rent out, which is almost enough."

His production chain does not include these small motor boats. After getting the fresh harvest boat next year, the next step will be to wait for two or three years to replace it with a steel fishing boat. By then, he can go fishing in the deep sea again, and he can do everything one step faster.

And the wealth in his hands cannot be revealed yet. It is one thing to know that he is rich, but who would have thought that he could earn more than 100,000 yuan in just a few years?

This stage is not the time for him to enjoy it. It is only eight years ago and he has to continue to accumulate wealth.

Hundreds of thousands is an unimaginable huge amount of money for ordinary people, but for the truly wealthy, it is not much, especially for overseas Chinese who have come back to invest in recent years.

His little money is not enough.

And now is not the time to buy a house or land. It won’t be too late to buy again in the 1990s. At least the money is in your own hands now, and it will be there when you buy a house or land.

Lin Xiuqing felt relieved when she saw that he had no objection and no longer thought about buying a boat.

"We really have too many boats. The total number of boats that have not been delivered to the factory alone is 11 trawlers. There is also a separate Dongsheng, and a partnership with the Harvest. You guys

There are also three brothers."

"Oh! There are also 10 small wooden boats!"

God, she felt helpless when she thought about it. All the boats in the village combined didn't have as many boats as hers.

"You despise the title of Salty Fish Dong every day. Now I can almost change it to Ship Wangdong for you."

Ye Yaodong smiled widely when he heard what she said, "You have to go out tomorrow to help me with publicity, so that you don't have to worry about people still shouting about it. How unpleasant is it?"

"I don't care about you, you're not calling me anyway." Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him angrily, then packed up the documents and went back to the house.

"No, I can't spread this word out, can I? That's so embarrassing, I'm thin-skinned..."

Ye Yaodong was still sitting there stretching his neck and shouting, but who wanted to pay attention to him?

Don't even give him a look.

He had no choice but to sit there and finish the tea in the bowl, then go out to see the children.

Early the next morning, he hurriedly went to the city to settle accounts and brought back a scale. Then he stopped by the wooden boat maker to check on the progress of the small wooden boat.

In fact, at the beginning of the year, I wanted to buy the Dongsheng Hao after I got it, but I never had that much free time, and I didn't happen to go to the city so coincidentally. Most of the time, I just happened to pass by the city and bring it back to settle accounts.

Last month I went to the city to settle accounts. It was already evening when I arrived, and I hurried back early the next day.

I originally had a large wooden scale at home, which would be convenient for weighing dried fish. The hook on the front is more than enough to hook a few bags of dried fish.

However, after the new year, the Dongsheng and Fengsheng ships brought back more goods, and there were more places where scales were needed, so wooden scales were no longer suitable for weighing fresh fish.

In the past two months, I also stopped by Ah Cai's place to weigh them. Fortunately, they only weighed them twice a month. Only this month, they collected squid every day in the first half of the month. They borrowed them so many times that he felt embarrassed, too.

Keep it in mind.

So on this trip to the city to collect money, I brought one back with me.

By the time I got home, the sun had set, and the busy day was over.

When he was not at home, his father also rented out his boat and the old boat, which meant that he had rented 5 boats, and now his father's boat had to be entrusted to his

Little brother does it.

After he came back, his buttocks were not hot. He only took a sip of tea and was called by his second brother to go to the Pei family to settle accounts together. He was so busy that his feet did not touch the floor.

While waiting for dinner, the accounts were settled.

Aunt Ma was quite enthusiastic. She smiled and wanted to let them have dinner, but he refused. She was away from home all day, and there were things at home, so he had to get the money back first. His second brother also refused like him.

Only his father and Uncle Zheng were thick-skinned and stayed to drink.

During dinner, his mother kept nagging him for a while.

Ye Yaodong only took a breath while eating, and then after the meal he slumped there with his feet crossed, not wanting to move, just watching Ah Qing's busy work coming in and out.

"What are you doing?"

"Pay your little brothers wages."

"oh."

Seeing her hurried out again, he had no choice but to wait at home with his feet up.

When she entered the house again, he asked her to find two boys from the village who were about the same age to watch the workshop together.

"I feel like five people are not enough. I'll call for one more. They can work in groups of two and work in three shifts. We don't have to work two at night and one at a time during the day."

The water and firewood they use now are all picked and delivered by these boys during their free time during the day.

It is indeed necessary to work in groups of two and three shifts, so that if anyone is in trouble at the last moment, there will still be one person available.

Lin Xiuqing thought for a moment and agreed.

Originally, the five people were all from nearby villages. It would be better to call them from the same village to supervise each other.

"Have you paid all the boatmen's wages?"

"They were all sent over just now."
