Chapter 1261: Arrival at Port

Saying is saying, the matter of guaranteeing can definitely not be done.

If there is anything, it must be said in advance. In case you can't earn money by then, he will still have to bear the blame.

How can the matter of going out to sea be so accurate? It all depends on luck. Some earn more, and naturally, some earn less.

Everyone has to pay for their own decisions.

Everyone discussed while talking and returned directly to Ye Yaodong's house. This time it was really all serious discussion.

Ye Yaodong let them decide for themselves. Those who are willing to follow will follow, and those who are not willing will stay here. He doesn't guarantee, doesn't take responsibility for anything.

They are all from the same village, or nearby. Old folks bring old folks. If they are willing to follow, they will be together.

The small wooden boats are not qualified to participate this time. They can only wait for others to discuss well. Some people don't intend to follow up and want to stay here. By then, when the peak season ends, they will incidentally follow back together.

From afternoon to night, his courtyard was full of people, from dawn to sleep.

Other boats were hesitant, but the two brothers Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua were decisive this time and took the lead in deciding to follow.

Their boats were so big, there was nothing to be afraid of. The manpower was sufficient. Dongzi had more than twenty people there. Going up there was at most not earning money, but they wouldn't lose money. Just taking it as gaining knowledge wouldn't lose money.

In case they didn't follow, Dongzi earned big money, and they wouldn't have a place to regret even if they slapped their thighs.

And he kept talking about the four major fishing grounds, which also aroused their curiosity. Just taking it as gaining knowledge was also good.

And after they decided, the four Zhou brothers also felt that the two brothers Ye Yaopeng and Ye Yaohua made sense. They wouldn't lose money. Running a trip and taking it as gaining knowledge was fine.

Otherwise, just going back like this, it always felt a bit gray. At least running a trip to Zhoushi, if they didn't earn money, it wouldn't be returning without success. They also had the capital to brag.

After their four boats all agreed to go, everyone discussed even louder.

Some also hardened their hearts and directly said they would follow, some were still hesitant, thinking about calling home tomorrow to see.

By ten o'clock, more than half of the fishing boats had also decided to follow. These parts were basically related to Ye Yaodong, either renting his boats or having a little indirect relationship.

"Those who are sure to follow, go back and prepare at night. We will also pay attention to the weather and set off in these two days. Those who need to discuss with their families, you call home. Those who want to follow must also inform their families."

"Then, calculate the accounts tomorrow. Clear the cargo manifests for catching jellyfish here. For those who rent my boats, let's calculate the accounts clearly first. After all, some people might stay."

"It's very late now. Everyone disperse first, go back and sleep, and discuss tomorrow."

"And the small wooden boats you brought, etc., must also be discussed how to handle. Anyway, by then, there must be boats to help tow them back."

Hearing this, the two brothers were glad again. Fortunately, they didn't get involved with these small wooden boats this year, otherwise, it would be difficult to handle, and they would have to solve the problem of the boats going back.

This year, everyone brought families and relatives and neighbors, and they didn't bring fewer small wooden boats. This was also a problem.

Therefore, many people didn't discuss the entrustment problem at night, so they didn't immediately agree. They had to solve the problem of the small boats going back before considering themselves.

After sending people away, he also took out the recent accounts to look at them.

The accounts for their few big boats trawling, he calculated clearly every time he returned. Jellyfish were the same. They were all paid in advance. What he wanted to calculate was actually the accounts with Aguang.

And the dividend accounts for the 16 fishing boats rented out.

Originally, the dividends had to be calculated at the end of the month on the 30th, but he thought that they were all here, and the boats were still salvaging, so he planned to calculate a total account after all the jellyfish were finished.

Now the situation has changed, so calculate the accounts here before setting off.

After they hung up the phone, they only said they would ask other fishing boats to see what everyone said. This time it was set to call again in two days to give a reply.

So he contacted Uncle Zheng the day after calculating the accounts, asking him to help rent a house, and they would go up in these two days.

On the night of calculating the accounts, everyone also determined which boats would follow and which boats would not follow.

Those willing to follow were basically from their village, or familiar relationships. Most were those who followed last year and earned money.

The fishing boats that joined this year basically gave up because of lack of confidence. They heard that they could earn big money by catching jellyfish here, but for them, reality was the opposite of imagination.

After they followed and didn't earn big money, they only earned small money. After having a gap, they didn't want to run so far anymore. They just thought that as long as they could earn money, it was fine. After the peak season, they would return.

So others also reached an agreement, letting these fishing boats that didn't intend to follow up incidentally take the small boats back by then. Basically, they were all related. Giving a little reward and saying a few good words was not a problem.

Ye Yaodong counted the fishing boats that followed. Good guy, not counting their few big boats, there were more than 40.

The main key is that his occupied 17. He rented 16, and one was in his hand. His father had one, his eldest brother and second brother each had two. His family occupied half.

And there were villagers. Last year, some families were still small wooden boats. This year, they all changed to motorized boats. And there were those from nearby villages who also earned money last year.

Counting, it was really scary. Adding the manpower on the boats, there were more than 200 people following.

No wonder Uncle Zheng kept calling them up. Such a large group of people placed anywhere is not a small force.

He first asked people to go back and prepare, and then when calling Uncle Zheng, asked him to help find a few more houses that could accommodate 200 people.

Anyway, they are all rough people. As long as there is a house to shelter from the wind and rain and sleep on the floor, it is fine.

Go there to settle down first. If they can't sleep, some of them can sleep on the boats, and then settle down temporarily.

Uncle Zheng was excited when he received that they were also going up. He agreed in one mouthful and told them the specific town location and which pier to dock at.

Ye Yaodong observed the stars at night that day. The stars were full of the sky. This kind of weather is generally a sunny day the next day.

After he confirmed, he directly made a decision to set off the next morning. If they arrived, it would be the next morning.

Otherwise, dragging and dragging, in case it drags to a rainy day or a day with big wind and waves, it will still be grinding.

Since the decision was made, there was no need to grind. Anyway, yesterday already gave everyone a day to pack things. Now let his father notify it.

And Fang Jingfu's side, he also took the time to go to the factory to stroll.

Fang Jingfu also knew that they might directly turn to Zhoushi recently and not stay here, but he had to say goodbye before leaving.

Afraid of having no time the next day, Ye Yaodong pedaled the bicycle he brought to his house and said goodbye to him.

In addition, he also harvested a pile of pastries, canned food, soda, and other food, all given by Fang Jingfu's family, letting him take them to eat on the road.

People are like this. There is coming and going, which makes it feel human.

After he went back, a house full of people hadn't slept yet, and they were all waiting for him a bit uneasily.

As soon as Ye Yaodong entered the door, the whole house of people looked at him in unison.

"What are you doing? Not sleeping yet? Setting off tomorrow."

"Waiting for you to come back."

"Brother Dong, we are setting off tomorrow, can we find the place?"

"Why can't we find it? Sailing on the sea depends on the helmsman. In the past, there were no motorized boats, all were sailboats. How do you think they all sailed? How to keep from getting lost? Asking is nonsense. Hurry up and sleep."

"Oh..."

"Rest. Get up at 5 tomorrow, set off at 6. I also borrowed a truck and a tractor. They will come over to help pull luggage tomorrow."

"That's great. Save the trouble of moving."

"Go."

Ye Yaodong and his father were in the same room. Their luggage was also packed yesterday. After getting up tomorrow, just take a bamboo basket for daily necessities and lift it onto the car.

The father and son chatted a few words and went to sleep separately.

What should be said and what should be chatted, they have already held several big meetings in these few days, and chatted a lot in private. Now that they are close to setting off, there is nothing to say.

Close to setting off, everyone didn't sleep much. Some people got up to cook before dawn, and then basically got up early.

When the truck came, they successively moved things to the boats to settle.

They parked the boats in the middle of the sea these days and left people to watch, so they weren't splashed with feces again.

The truck pulled several trips back and forth before pulling the luggage of their large group of people to the pier.

They also ate breakfast in the gaps and gathered at the pier.

Ye Yaodong let their respective boats count the number of people, and after the people were complete, they got on the boats.

He still let the twins watch the house as usual and instructed a few words.

Looking at other people who came to see them off, these are those who are not prepared to follow, or some villagers with small boats, who want to follow but can't.

He also said a few auspicious words, wishing them good luck, and took people on the boats.

Not just these people, a large group of local fishermen on the shore also surrounded, watching them leave, and then discussing. They probably wished they would leave immediately.

Ye Yaodong let his father drive the *Dongsheng* number, drove the fresh-collecting boat himself, and just sent someone to drive a small boat.

He checked his side, and after preparing, he raised the flag to remind other boats that they were going to leave.

After the remaining boats were ready, they also shook the flag to respond, and then slowly sailed away from the shore.

Ye Yaodong sat in the cockpit, watching the four directions, and followed beside the *Dongsheng* number.

After their 5 big boats sailed away from the shore, they took the lead in sailing in the front, and the forty or so boats behind followed closely.

The spectacular scene of the fleet sailing directly shocked the locals. They didn't know that these outsiders had so many boats???

Only knowing that many outsiders poured into them during this period, and it looked like they were in the same group, but didn't know there were so many.

When going out to sea to fish daily, they also acted separately and didn't go in and out together. The locals didn't feel anything, just felt that there were many more motorized boats at the pier.

Didn't expect there were so many, and now it's not all leaving, and a small part is lingering and not leaving. Then how huge must the team of this pile of people be?

These are still speaking the same language, and they look like they are familiar and know each other.

The locals were curious and inquired with others who stayed here.

After knowing that the large boats that left were basically from the same village, they were even more shocked.

They originally thought it was boats from multiple villages and multiple towns running over. Didn't expect it was just boats from one village. What kind of village is this awesome?

Actually, one village can have so many boats? It's not bad for their local fishing village to have three or five motorized boats.

The most critical thing is the 5 big boats in the front. Each one costs tens of thousands. What kind of rich village is this?

"This is surprised? More surprised is behind! I tell you, half of the boats here belong to the young leader just now! He alone occupied half!"

"Ah! What!"

"Of the 5 big boats in the front, 4 belong to him..."

"He is a legend in our place, not even 30 years old..."

Ye Yaodong didn't know that he left a legend in the local area when he was leaving.

And it was also booming, spreading for a long time.

When they first came, it was already night, and the locals had finished work and went back, so they didn't see the spectacular scene.

And at that time, it was Ye Yaodong who brought two boats first, and others came later, also arriving at night.

Last year, they all left in batches. This time, it was really the first time the locals saw so many of their fishing boats leaving together.

He himself was also seeing so many fishing boats following behind for the first time. Looking back, he was a bit surging.

"Damn! So many boats are following me!"

"No, I have to take a photo!"

"Chen Guodong, Chen Guodong, come over, come over, help me drive the boat for a while..."

Ye Yaodong summoned someone over, rushed out a long distance himself, and after running to the first, let him temporarily take over for a while.

Only by running to the front could he take all the boats behind, otherwise, missing one boat, still a big one, wouldn't show his heroism.

Later, he could still brag. How he was brave and fought hard back then, leading a large group of boats to break into Zhejiang Province, from Wenzhou to Zhoushi, leading a large group of people to get rich.

And the most important thing is that half of the fishing boats here are his!

He hadn't taken all his fishing boats completely. Now it's just right, and he can add more water.

By then, after showing it to others, others blow it, and the ones in this photo will all become his boats.

In the 80s, he had already become the veritable Boat King Dong!

After taking the photo, Ye Yaodong only felt beautiful in his heart.

"Brother Dong, your father just connected and asked what you took the wrong medicine for, why are you rushing so fast? I said you wanted to take a photo, and he asked you to be reliable."

"Don't ignore him. Later he can blow even louder than me."

"Brother Dong, the large pile of boats behind us also looks too spectacular. No wonder you want to take a photo."

"Of course."

"I just looked at the locals on the shore, their eyes went straight. I guess they don't know we have so many boats. They must be sending away the plague god, wishing we would leave."

"You are the plague god, go go go..."

"Brother Dong, I really admire you..."

"There are many people who admire me. You work hard, you can also work hard. In this era, there are opportunities everywhere. If you dare to fight and dare to break, you can earn big money."

"Okay."

Ye Yaodong looked at the fishing boats behind him, lit a cigarette himself, and was also a bit high-spirited.

How many boats is this? In a few years, technology innovation, change a batch of steel big boats, his boats can be more.

He hadn't finished a cigarette, and Aguang also connected with him.

"Dongzi, did you see? The fishing boats behind us are so spectacular! You hurry up and take a photo, take a photo..."

"Took it early, still need you to remind? There are 45 boats in total, all heading in one direction, following and sailing together. Isn't it spectacular?"

"Damn, I tell you, it was even more spectacular when we came. I wanted to share it with you at that time, but you weren't at sea. If I had known, I would have bought a camera. I always felt it was useless, at most taking photos once or twice a year..."

"Now you know the benefits of a camera? Later you can take it out to pretend to be forced."

"Wash it and share one with me. There are also my 8 boats here."

Aguang ordered the boats from the shipyard in the city before. Last year, he took the opportunity to buy one. Plus the original one at home, and the *Fengshou* number, his family is now the one with the most boats next to him.

It is also a famous big household in the village. If his light wasn't too bright, Aguang's family would also be famous in the ten miles and eight villages.

So this trip, as long as those who rent boats are willing, they must bring them all out. After all, the boats are also their own.

So many were brought out, naturally, it doesn't matter if the remaining ones want to follow.

"Half of the boats here belong to me!"

"Holy crap! The money was all earned by you!"

"That's right!"

The two chatted and farted, and it wasn't boring on the way.

"You say, we came out, do we have to wait until the New Year to go back?"

"Almost. Driving back takes more than two days. If you take care of the small boats behind, and rest in the middle, it will take about three days. Do you still want to come back every month?"

"Am I crazy? Just asking."

"Look. If you can earn money, stay longer. If it feels average, collecting cargo is about the same as at home. After gaining knowledge, it is also fine to go back."

"Then talk about it later. It's the first time running so far, a bit excited..."

Brother, where is this!

"Wait for me to take you on a plane."

"Wait for you to buy a plane?"

"Then you might as well say wait for me to Da plane, it can be faster."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't talk nonsense with you."

"It's a pity. The two boats partnered with A Zheng and Xiao Xiao are at the end of the year. Otherwise, if they were opened now, lined up in a row, we would be even more stylish."

"Soon."

"Dongzi, you have no boats, right?"

"What for?"

"I'm thinking, did you order a bigger boat behind our backs again."

"Not yet."

The technology of the present is just like this. This trip to Zhoushi also happens to see if the shipyard over there has better technology.

No matter what, it is one of the four major fishing ports. The fishing technology and shipbuilding technology over there must be stronger than their small place.

If you can earn how much money over there, and the shipbuilding technology is good, and the materials are more advanced, it is also fine to order a bigger boat over there.

After all, going back and forth is really far. The quality of the boat must pass the test. It must be bigger and better, and the wind and wave resistance must be stronger and better.

Aguang was a bit curious. "That is when, wait for you to earn more money, in a few years?"

"Almost. Mainly shipbuilding technology. I have enough boats now..."

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The two chatted and pulled, and time passed very quickly. From morning to dusk, Ye Yaodong also changed people to take over, and went to sleep himself.

There are so many fishing boats on the sea, no need to distinguish the direction himself. Just follow, and leave it to others. He doesn't need to worry either.

They were sailing north along the near shore, encountering many fishing boats working along the way, almost without interruption all day, and could encounter them.

Coastal villages and towns all live by the sea, and fishing boats are also scattered in the surrounding sea areas.

Some fishing boats looked at their large group of fleets passing by, and looked at them with surprise and curiosity.

Ye Yaodong sometimes also picked up binoculars to look at the surroundings, and could see some people looking up in shock while collecting nets halfway, watching their fleet pass by.

Probably not only he felt proud, others would probably also feel honored to bring shock to others.

Two years ago, when they returned after catching jellyfish, they also encountered a fleet.

At that time, it was estimated that there were ten or twenty, but that was enough to surprise them. Now it happened to themselves, reversed, and their group of fishing boats was even more.

Perhaps they guessed that it was a smuggling fleet at that time, which was completely incorrect. Maybe it was like them?

Look, now their scale is bigger, but they are serious fishing boats.

In this whole day, Ye's father also slowed down several times, asking the surrounding fishing boats if the direction was wrong, and asking if they were walking correctly.

The fishing boats they encountered along the way really didn't stop, except for less after the sun went down, but they increased again before dawn.

Because they had to accommodate the fishing boats behind, their sailing speed was also controlled a bit slower. Originally, it was expected to arrive in one day and one night, but it opened until the afternoon of the second day.

However, fortunately, it was still early before the sun went down.

They went directly to Shenjia Sect Fishing Port. This is the largest fishing port in the Zhoushi fishing ground, and it is also very easy to find, unlike some fishing villages and small town piers that are difficult to find.

Shenjia Sect Fishing Port is one of the largest natural fishing ports in our country and also the most important fishery base in the Zhoushi Archipelago.

This port is not only a place for fishing boats to dock, resupply, and repair, but also a distribution center for fishery products, which plays an important role in the local and even the entire East China region's fishery economy.

They just arrived in the surrounding archipelago range, and saw one big boat after another working on the sea surface. The deck was covered with various fish cargo, and some fishing boats were bigger than them.

And there were several boats cooperating, releasing long surrounding nets, forming a huge circle, gradually narrowing the range, until surrounding a large amount of fish schools.

He saw the fishing net collected, full of white light, and some light yellow fish, at least ten thousand jin.

This situation was seen more than once.

There were also trawling ones, the mast was bent, but he couldn't see what cargo there was.

Some workers on the boats were also wearing waterproof clothes, looking more professional, but very few.

These fishing boats were probably also very powerful. Those plastic silicone waterproof clothes were not cheap.

"Wow, there are so many fishing boats here, I see quite a few big boats..."

"Yes, I can see fishing boats all the way here. It should be arriving soon. I have encountered many more now."

"Let your father ask for the way again..."

Wanting to follow these fishing boats on the sea surface to return to the port, that has to wait until evening. Now it is only noon, and the time is still early.

Ye's father asked several fishing boats again before locking the port to dock.

When approaching the coastal range, there were countless fishing boats, but most were small boats, but some of these small boats were installed with diesel engines.

When they were docking at the pier, they were even more surprised by the vast water area of the fishing port, and at this time, it was not yet dusk. Hundreds of large and small boats were parked on the shore, neatly, and the scene was very spectacular.

This was still daytime. Fishing boats were still working outside. If the sun went down and the fishing boats all returned to the port, what kind of scene would that be?

More than a thousand? And generally, big boats don't dock every day.

People coming and going on the shore were busy.

"Holy crap, are we here?"

"Is this here? I rely on, this is too lively? More lively than our provincial capital, and more boats?"

"It's still daytime now. Our provincial capital doesn't have so many boats at night."

"Yes, yes, it's still daytime now. Fishing boats are all outside. How many fishing boats did we encounter just now on the way?"

"There are really many fishing boats here. Those people on the boats are doing what?"

"Maybe they are repairing, or maybe they are making preparations for going out to sea..."

Ye Yaodong looked at it and it was almost there, so he stopped the boat and walked out of the cockpit. The boatmen on the deck had long been excited and started discussing.

"So lively, so many boats!"

"Boss, is it here? Such a big port, it should be here, right?"

"Here. Prepare to dock later. You can pack your luggage and take it out."

"Brother Dong, why not drive in? Why are they all stopped?"

"This kind of big port, fishing boats docking also have their own set of rules. It's not that you can dock as soon as you arrive. Maybe you have to pay management fees. Wait first. Someone will come over."

At this time, there should be no such complicated things, but there must be some. Otherwise, if so many fishing boats have no set of rules to manage, wouldn't it be a mess?

There are so many boats. If there are no rules to limit the entry and exit, it is easy to collide, and it will also block other fishing boats from entering and exiting, affecting traffic jams at sea.

In individual times, there are restrictions on the time of entering and exiting the port, and there are also situations where docking is not allowed. Now it shouldn't be.

Therefore, the port is in front, they can't approach now, they have to wait, wait for the port management personnel to come over to command them to dock.

"This pier still needs money?"

"Otherwise, people will let you dock for nothing, and manage the pier for nothing?"

Don't know if there are special parking spaces set up now. I went out to sea too late in my previous life, and I knew too little about some port things at sea in this era.

Therefore, it is said that if you don't work when you are young, you will work hard when you are old, and you are taking detours in the middle.

In this life, I became a fisherman early, went out to sea to fish early, and took fewer detours for decades.

"We don't need to..."

"We can't compare. They are all fishing boats in the surrounding area, and the pier is not big. They wish for a few more fishing boats to dock and make the pier lively. This side has too many fishing boats from all over the world. There must be a management system, otherwise it is easy to be chaotic."

"Yes, otherwise why is it the four major fishing grounds? Look at the scale, it is so big. There are so many boats that didn't go out to sea during the day. Then there are more boats going out to sea, right?"

"Are there many piers and ports here? Is this just one of them?"

"Definitely. Asking is nonsense..."

"No wonder Uncle Zheng kept inciting us to come over. Here it is so big, there are so many boats, the cargo must be a lot. Otherwise, why is it called the four major fishing grounds..."

The boatmen were all excited, and the whole piece in front of them was fishing boats. They had never seen so many fishing boats at the same time in their lives.

People on other fishing boats were also chatting, waiting for the pier manager to come up.

Their so many boats, entering the port all at once, had long attracted attention. Before long, a management boat drove over. ===== CHAPTER 1262 =====

With so many of their boats entering the port all at once, it had long since attracted attention, and a management boat sailed over before long.
