Chapter 1297: Snowing

He stood up quickly, "Why are you here? Have you eaten? Do you want to eat a little?"

"I've eaten, no need."

"Is it about the loan or something else?"

"It's not about the loan. I want to ask you, do you want to deposit money? The interest is very high!"

"Deposit? You are doing both loans and deposits, the business volume is quite large, right?"

Shen Ming'e laughed, "This is because the president wants me to promote it, otherwise not many people go to the bank to deposit money."

"I've already borrowed 200,000 from the bank..."

"Deposits are deposits, loans are loans. It definitely won't take your money to pay off the loan."

"You know, I'm not a local. I'm going home next month, so there's no need to deposit in the bank here. It's not easy to withdraw money in another place, not to mention cross-bank plus another place, I'm too lazy to toss."

"You're going home next month? Not coming back?" Shen Ming'e widened her eyes in surprise.

"I'm going home for the New Year. My boat is still in your shipyard, and the money has been transferred to the public account. I will crawl over next year."

"Hehe, isn't that it? You'll come next year anyway, so just deposit it in the bank. When you come to drive the boat next year, you can withdraw the money. The interest for one year will be a lot."

"No money to deposit. I spent 100,000 to buy that cargo ship, and borrowed more than 30,000 from others to make it up. Where do I have money to deposit? What I earned is all used to pay off debts."

"Oh."

"Or, you lend me a little more, and I'll deposit it to eat interest?"

"What kind of good thing are you thinking about?" She raised her voice a little.

Ye Yaodong spread his hands, "Then there's no way. No money on hand, want to deposit but can't. Why don't you ask others? Or wait until next year when my boat is in hand, earn a little more, and then deposit it?"

"Forget it, I just thought you had so many boats, and it's not safe to keep the money you earned by your side. How good it would be to deposit it in the bank."

"Then wait for me to earn a little more. When I earn a little more, I'll deposit it in your bank."

Depositing in the bank sounds safe, but there are too many hidden dangers. It's not nationwide networking now, and the procedures are very troublesome.

And even with nationwide networking, money can be transferred away through internal operations, let alone now? Ten or twenty thousand is not a small amount, and he has more than 100,000. When the time comes, the employees run away, who will he find to compensate?

And he is going home next month. For that little interest, there is no need to deposit for a month.

A large box of money has to be carried around, deposited and withdrawn, how eye-catching is that?

The bank doesn't think counting money is troublesome, but he thinks carrying it around is troublesome.

He didn't even carry change to exchange, just because he was afraid of trouble. Being in a foreign place, it's better to be low-key.

Who knows if the people he meets are human or ghosts.

More than 100,000 is enough to buy all their lives, so he'd better cover it up.

It doesn't matter if you are high-profile when owing money, and it doesn't matter if you render it so that everyone knows, but you still have to cover up when you earn a lot of money.

Hearing him say that, Shen Ming'e could only believe that he didn't have much money on hand and didn't need to deposit, so she had to return without success.

"Boss, why not deposit directly in the bank? It's safe."

"Deposit what? I'm going to pay the final payment for the cargo ship. The cargo ship modification will be finished at the end of the month, so I have to pay money. I'm going home next month, no need to toss."

"That's right. Going back next month will miss the Winter Solstice. I don't know if I can catch up with Laba."

"We'll see when the time comes. Laba doesn't have the pomp to eat, and staying a few more days can earn a few more days of wages."

"Missing home, been out for a long time..."

Ye Yaodong also felt like going back after hearing them say that. It was too lonely here, not even a dog, only the fishy smell was familiar.

But it was the time when he was earning a lot of money, and since everyone was here, he definitely couldn't just go back like this.

No matter what, he had to earn the money he should earn before he could happily take people back.

After he comforted and encouraged everyone, he asked them to persist, and time would pass quickly.

In the afternoon, it was time for the Chamber of Commerce meeting again. They agreed to have a meeting once a week, at a fixed time, at a fixed place, not mandatory.

If you are at home, you can go to a meeting, chat, get familiar, and by the way, get to know new members.

If you are not at home, out at sea, or out of town, you can go to the next meeting. Everyone has to earn money, and not everyone will be there every time.

After nearly two months of development, their members had more than 30 people, but for various reasons, only more than ten were present.

Anyway, every time there was a new member, Ye Yaodong had to be pulled out to be shown off. Four times a month, he was indeed there two or three times, which could be considered very frequent.

Who told him to open a fresh fish boat, and he went out to collect and sell goods every two or three days at a high frequency.

And he was also very familiar with the people in the Chamber of Commerce, and had to chat for a while when they met.

What surprised him was that this time, some content was actually said.

It turned out that they wanted to find the government for approval, buy a piece of land, and build a proper Chamber of Commerce office, so that as more and more people came, Boss Xi's rented house wouldn't be able to turn around.

Having a special proper office, and it was approved by the government, would be more standardized and have more to do.

Ye Yaodong also felt it made some sense. After all, this was a rented house where Boss Xi lived temporarily, and he couldn't keep letting people rent it, anyway, there were so many members.

And those who joined the association were either businessmen or boat captains, all with some family background, and they must have earned a lot in these few months.

If the money wasn't enough, it would be about the same if everyone took out one or two hundred yuan.

He was thinking this way, and Boss Xi happened to say the same thing.

"Everyone has some family background. I believe that taking out one or two hundred yuan each is not a big problem for everyone. Since we have entered this big family of ours, I think everyone hopes that this big family of ours will get better and better."

"If we can apply to the government to buy a piece of land and hang up the Chamber of Commerce sign, it means we are recognized by the government. When the time comes, see if we can register a Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce with the government properly like Comrade Ye Yaodong, so that we will be standardized and legal."

"Spend some money, I believe everyone will not have any big opinions, just think about whether it is necessary and whether you support it."

"My place is indeed a bit simple. We have more than 30 members now. If everyone comes, the house can't sit down."

"Of course, applying for a piece of land from the government to build a Chamber of Commerce, this land and this Chamber of Commerce definitely don't belong to me, they definitely belong to everyone, belong to the collective, everyone can rest assured about this."

"I say so much, also hoping that everyone can support each other, go further and further here, earn a lot of money, be safe and make a fortune. You discuss it first."

Jin Laixi let everyone discuss it after saying these words, then leaned over to his side and explained to him why he didn't notify him in advance.

He had gone to find him two days ago, but he went out to sea, and then he went to trade in nearby towns in the past two days.

Ye Yaodong only said it didn't matter, it didn't matter to him whether he told him or not. Anyway, he never cared about these things, and he wasn't a real Wenzhou person, only half, just be a mascot.

But he would definitely pay the money that should be paid. It was only one or two hundred yuan, and having his own Chamber of Commerce building was simply a huge benefit, land picked up for nothing.

Regardless of whether it could be developed or not, having a piece of land under the name of the Chamber of Commerce was simply picking up a big bargain, and the foundation for development was immediately there.

So he immediately took the conversation, "Boss Xi is absolutely right, I absolutely support you. If the Chamber of Commerce has land, it is a great thing for everyone."

"And, if the government approves it, it is support. We can also be considered a regular army. But when we go to apply, we have to say things beautifully."

"For example, our country is currently developing the economy and supporting individual businesses. Our businessmen grouping together can be more conducive to development. And after we businessmen group together to develop, we will definitely support government construction a lot."

"This is also a good thing for their local government. If we group together, they can also better manage us."

Jin Laixi gave him a thumbs up, "I knew it wouldn't be wrong to find you. Why don't you go and say a few words to everyone?"

"That's fine."

"With your help, everyone will definitely have no problem, and they will definitely not be reluctant to pay money. Just that one or two hundred yuan, probably hesitating about whether the money is worth spending, is it useful? After all, most of them just joined the association, and haven't done anything yet, and they have to pay money again. Some people who are not so familiar with us definitely have ideas."

"That's the truth."

Jin Laixi nodded, and said loudly, asking everyone to be quiet.

"Listen to the views of Vice President Ye Yaodong. I just discussed it with him, and he has some ideas that are very good. Let him say it too."

After he finished speaking, Ye Yaodong also stood up and talked about the point of view he just told Jin Laixi.

And he also said a few more words. After the Chamber of Commerce has land for independent use, it will have more cohesion for everyone, and the Chamber of Commerce will also be stronger.

At the same time, he also mentioned that a financial officer could be elected to specifically keep accounts and record where every transaction's income was spent.

If there is no expenditure in daily life, he suggests depositing the money in the bank. The current bank interest rate is also quite high, and the bank will also have records for every expenditure.

This is also a guarantee for everyone.

Hearing him say this, everyone felt it was much more reliable than what Jin Laixi said just now.

At least the membership fees and the money everyone handed in are deposited in the bank, and there are records that can be checked, rather than in the hands of a certain individual.

Everyone is not afraid of paying money, but afraid that paying money will benefit a certain person.

Ye Yaodong also thought of Shen Ming'e looking for him to deposit money in the morning, and it just happened that everyone could deposit the money in the bank after collecting and recording the accounts.

The current membership fees are all handed over to Jin Laixi. Now that there are few people at the beginning, there is not much money, and everyone definitely has no opinions. When they come back to their senses later, they will definitely have ideas.

That might as well open an account for the Chamber of Commerce and deposit it in.

After he finished speaking, more people nodded, and more people echoed.

Those who were originally hesitant also followed the crowd.

Most people agreed, and the opposition voice was small, so basically everyone had no opinion and followed the crowd. After all, for everyone present, it was really not much money.

Those who can recommend each other to enter the Chamber of Commerce, not to mention that they are all ten-thousand-yuan households, but in the environment of Zhoushan, they are not much different.

After Ye Yaodong heard that there was no opposition, he also said: "In the future, everyone will be glad for today's decision. Within 5 years, it will definitely make you feel it's worth it."

The international aquatic center here is already being prepared. After it is built, it will only develop more rapidly.

At that time, the trading around the aquatic center will only increase, and the surrounding shops will definitely spring up like mushrooms after rain, and the land will definitely become more valuable and will be speculated faster.

It's only 86 now. In 5 years, it will be 91, and the economy will be better and better, and money will be easier to earn.

Just when he was about to sit down, someone said: "At that time, I heard that the president of our fishery association was involved, so I joined. Since you said so, I believe you."

Ye Yaodong couldn't understand the Wenzhou dialect the person spoke, so Jin Laixi translated it for him, and he stood up again and said: "Rest assured, as long as the government can approve it, it is absolutely a good thing."

He thought for a while and said: "I won't hide it from you, I also bought a piece of land here, and it's not small. As for where I bought it, I won't specifically say. I bought it in my own name. I am optimistic about the development here, buying a house and land is absolutely not a loss."

As soon as he said this, everyone whispered again.

Even Jin Laixi asked him curiously what he bought the land for.

"I am optimistic about future development, so you said you wanted to buy a small piece of land in the name of the Chamber of Commerce to build a Chamber of Commerce, so I supported it incomparably. If possible, I also think it's better for you to buy a bigger one, and it will be the property of the Chamber of Commerce!"

"Like this..."

"You figure it out yourself, find a place first, and then negotiate with the government. After setting the price, discuss how much money everyone will raise. My meaning is that as long as it is within the urban area, anywhere is fine, it doesn't matter if it's a bit remote. If you can buy a big one, buy a big one, it will never be a loss."

It looks remote now, but it won't be remote in the future!

It feels expensive now, but in the future, everyone will slap their thighs for buying too little.

"Okay, anyway, everyone agrees. Next, I will find a few people to take advantage of the free time and walk around together. Since you can buy and sell in your own name, we should be able to do it in the name of the collective."

"Then I don't know, you can go and ask."

Jin Laixi nodded, didn't say anything more to him, but said to everyone that they would raise funds after it was determined. The money raised would definitely not be too much, and it wouldn't be anything for everyone.

At the next meeting, everyone can discuss it again and understand the progress.

After all, many people haven't participated yet and don't know about this matter, so it definitely can't be decided by talking about it once.

And they just happened to take advantage of the gap in the period to look around, and by the way, ask the government to see what attitude they have towards their buying land and whether they can support it.

After talking about this matter, everyone also chatted with each other in twos and threes, looking for people they were interested in to make friends and talk.

Ye Yaodong also took advantage of the end of the meeting and everyone's chatting time to order the shipment volume for tomorrow with several businessmen. Tomorrow he has to go out to sea to collect the goods of several boats.

He also had to find these businessmen in the afternoon, and now it was just right to use it.

After handling this matter, he chatted with everyone.

He himself would always be surrounded by a group of people. From beginning to end, as long as he came, there would be no shortage of people around him.

Everyone couldn't speak Mandarin well, but they accommodated him and followed him to speak Mandarin.

Ye Yaodong guessed half of it, but he could also hear the general idea, and the conversation was pleasant, and he also learned a few sentences of Wenzhou dialect.

The matter of applying for land from the government in the name of the Chamber of Commerce was temporarily decided after this meeting.

Next, it was repeatedly mentioned, striving for everyone to know, because not everyone participated in every meeting.

And he didn't care about it, anyway, he just listened to the progress result, and paying money wasn't that fast.

When Ye Yaodong walked back after the sun went down, he was also thinking on the road that with more than 30 people, 100 yuan each, that would be more than 3,000 yuan, which was not a small amount.

Later, it can be developed further. After all, from the time it is decided to the time it is built, it definitely won't be that fast.

More or less, raising 5,000 yuan should not be a problem. Buying a piece of land should be enough, but building a house might still be a little short.

It is estimated that it will have to be raised again, but this is also a matter for later.

At worst, look at personal willingness to donate internally. He definitely supports this, donate one or two thousand yuan, take the lead, be a role model, and his status will definitely be unshakable in the future.

Speaking of which, this Chamber of Commerce was built with more than half of his money at the time.

Thinking of this, he also said "fuck".

Wouldn't it be better to use his dump directly next year?

At that time, rent it directly to the Chamber of Commerce in the name of renting.

"Hey, no!"

His land has a good location, and the difference in rent every year will definitely be large. In case of pulling skin because of rent in the future, it is not good.

Letting him contribute for free, that is definitely not possible.

It cannot be drawn to him, otherwise everyone will think that the Chamber of Commerce is his personal, and there will be redundant ideas, and the cohesion will be poor.

This Chamber of Commerce still needs to have its own place, belonging to everyone, to give them a sense of belonging.

He might as well pay more money to support the Chamber of Commerce to build it, his reputation can be better, and he can have more prestige.

Paying more money to buy a reputation also avoids future trouble, which is more worthwhile and profitable for him.

After walking home all the way, he also figured it out clearly, just waiting for the next time he meets Jin Laixi to mention it again.

For the few initiators, it is very simple for each person to take out a thousand yuan, and they are probably the people who support the Chamber of Commerce the most.

After Ye Yaodong returned home, he hurriedly poured himself a bowl of hot tea, and his body finally warmed up.

"It's really fucking cold. It seemed like ice pellets were falling just now, and my hat felt a bit wet."

"It's dark at 5:30."

"Eat and sleep quickly, go out to sea at 4 o'clock in the morning."

"It's really cold here, the wind blows into the bones, I think it's really going to snow..."

When they got up to go out to sea in the early morning of the second day, in the dark night, a few snowflakes really drifted in the sky, snow-white, falling on the ground, but couldn't accumulate a little, and melted instantly.

Most people saw snow for the first time and were extremely excited.

In the south of Fujian Province, except for the mountains, it rarely snows. Even if there is, it is a little bit at night, and you can't see it in the morning, let alone snow accumulation, and you can almost never see snow by the sea.

"Wow ha? It's snowing..."

"It's really snowing..."

"Seeing snow for the first time..."

"This is too small, just a little bit of snow, just a few snowflakes."

"If the children at home saw this, they would be excited to death."

Ye Yaodong said with a smile: "This snow is too small. When it snows heavily and the ground can accumulate, I will take a photo for everyone. It is best to build a snowman, take a photo with the snowman, and then bring it back for you to share with your family."

"This is good..."

"I think we should take a big group photo to commemorate it."

Ye Yaodong thought this was not bad, "That's also fine, it really needs to take a big group photo."

"It's snowing now. After the end of the month or after New Year's Day, the temperature will be lower, and it will definitely be able to snow heavily."

"Hurry up and buy buns, buy more, heat them up on the boat at noon and night, and then match with some hot soup, it's easy, otherwise it will be cold for a long time on the boat in the cold weather, and it will be cold immediately after cooking."

"Okay, just in time, I'm tired of eating noodles."

Everyone walked all the way, looking up at the snowflakes, their noses were frozen red, but their faces were smiling, and they were very happy. In their hearts, they were thinking, if their family saw the snow, how happy they would be.

They also chatted with each other, looking forward to heavy snow, building a snowman for the children at home, and taking photos to show them.

And Ye Yaodong was thinking, after returning from the sea, he had to look around to see if there was any color film. He didn't buy it at home before. If he wanted color photos, he could only hand-draw them.

This time thinking of taking pictures of snow, color photos must be better and clearer.

Before, color film could only rely on imports, and the quantity was very small, and it was not widely used.

When everyone walked to the pier, everyone around was discussing happily that it was snowing.

He also heard passersby say that today is the "Heavy Snow" of the 24 solar terms, and he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the body temperature felt colder today.

After everyone got on the boat and drove the fishing boat away from the port, keeping a distance from other fishing boats, they looked at the snow on the sea and talked more lively. Everyone stood on the deck watching the snow, and no one returned to the cabin.

Everyone was shocked by the snowfall on the sea. There were no people around, and it was the sea on all sides. Under the faint light on the boat, the surroundings looked like countless stars falling from the sky, falling into the water, looking beautiful.

It wasn't the first time Ye Yaodong had seen it, but he also felt it was indeed beautiful. He sat in the cockpit, warm and able to enjoy the snowy scenery falling around.

Unfortunately, when the fishing boat sailed in the middle of the sea and the sky was slightly bright, the snow stopped instead, didn't fall anymore, and disappeared without a trace.

He first went to find his father to collect goods. After the weather turned cold, the harvest of hairtail was better, and the quality was higher.

Generally, after "Light Snow", the quality of hairtail will be higher and higher, and the 20 days before and after the Winter Solstice are the fattest and most delicious time of hairtail in a year, just before the New Year.

However, in this era, the number of hairtail is too large, and it is a peak season. Even if it is the fattest and most delicious time, the price has not risen much, but has fallen with the increase in quantity.

Recently, the temperature has begun to decrease, the seafood can be stored for a longer time, and it is more popular. Fishmongers also want more goods, and the price has not fallen again.

"Dad, it snowed at night."

Ye's father was also full of joy, "Yes, it snowed. I haven't seen it for many years. It's rare to see it once in many years."

"Don't hail."

"Crow's mouth, it's possible to hail in this weather, blowing a demon wind is true."

"Fuck, Dad, you are the crow's mouth."

Ye's father also reacted and hurriedly patted his mouth.

Crow's mouth X1

He is indeed a crow's mouth. In this weather, demon wind can come as soon as it says it will? Hail is not necessarily.

"Hurry up and collect the goods and go back, it's too cold at night."

After Ye's father said this, seeing him wrapped tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes, he instantly felt that he was talkative again.

He is wrapped like a ghost, where will he be cold?

"Okay, hurry up and go, don't delay my net casting. I don't know how many days I can catch in this weather. I don't know how big the waves are at night. Fortunately, I carried it. It's better during the day. I just came out for three days, don't go back tomorrow."

"Don't be a crow's mouth again."

Crow's mouth X2

"I'm just complaining. I'm either stuffed in the cockpit all day or lying on the bed sleeping. I can't say a few words all day."

"Then do you want to change me?"

"I don't know whose house those goods of yours are going to be sent to. I can't understand a single word you wrote, so forget it."

"My writing is quite good now."

"Even if you write out flowers, I don't recognize them. After loading the goods, hurry back. Who knows when it will snow heavily."

"I'm grass..."

Ye's father reacted that he was a crow's mouth again.

"Okay, okay, how can it be so easy to be said by me."

Crow's mouth X3

Seeing that everyone had lifted the goods almost the same, Ye Yaodong didn't say much to his father. He still had to go to the next boat to collect goods.

The goods of the Dongsheng didn't need to be weighed at all. After selling, he deducted the goods of the three boats, and the rest were all Dongsheng's, simple and easy.

He went back and forth three times to collect the goods, and also collected the goods of the shrimp boat, and went home to lie down in the middle of the night.

Who would have thought that when he woke up the next day, he saw his father and the others had all returned, and even sent the goods back and piled them up at the door, waiting for him to wake up and deal with them.

"Why are you back?"

"It's windy..."

Ye's father just said it, and someone on the side took the conversation, "It's a demon wind... The wind is blowing on the sea... We came back."

Blowing a demon wind? Fulfilled.

Don't know when to come back tomorrow? Fulfilled.

Heavy snow? To be verified.

His father can really speak, really can speak.

Ye's father was still muttering, "The weather is too cold, it's snowing and blowing a big wind. It was blowing cold wind every day, and it's even more powerful at sea, and the wind is even bigger at night..."

His father's words sounded like a mouthful of sophistry.

"Okay, you all go to eat something, soak your feet and sleep, leave these goods to me, I'll ask where else needs goods."

"I also let them bring back the goods of your eldest brother and second brother. You go to them first to see the quantity, and help sell them together. In the cold weather, they haven't slept all night, and they don't want to blow the cold wind at the pier."

"Understood."

Ye Yaodong washed up, didn't even eat breakfast, and hurried out, just bought something to eat on the side of the road, and went to deal with those goods while walking.
