Chapter 1402

If he could work less, he wouldn't want to work more.

It wasn't his boat anyway, listen to Dongzi!

Ye Yaodong said indifferently: "Fine, if you don't want to work two more days, then let's go back on the 2nd. Tell the others tomorrow that we are going back on the 2nd. See if they want to stay for two more days or go back with us; no forcing."

Ye's father originally wanted to refute that it wasn't that he didn't want to work two more days, but after hearing the latter part, his attention shifted again.

"Since you said we're going back on the 2nd, how could they not go back with you? Stay for two more days? They aren't stupid. They will definitely follow you whenever you go back."

"That's hard to say. If some people haven't earned enough, they might want to stay for two more days. After all, going back on the 4th is also fine, and it's still 5 days away from September 9th."

"How is that possible? Isn't it that everyone listens to whatever you say now? Whenever you leave, they will definitely leave; whenever you return, they will definitely return. Before, they were still saying they wanted to learn from you, and next time when they have more money in their hands, they will also deposit it in the bank. At least it's safer. Even if it's not a time deposit, depositing it as a demand deposit and withdrawing it after going home is safer than keeping it in their hands, and they can also get interest."

"That's up to them, whether they deposit it or not is their business."

"Without you saying so, they wouldn't have encountered such a good thing, being able to deposit it for a few years and have it double."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. Just a moment ago, he was worried about him depositing money in the bank for so long and kept nagging about it.

Now he's attributing the credit for the deposit to himself?

He really is fickle.

And he really knows how to spare no effort to claim credit for himself.

"Listen to tomorrow's broadcast to check the weather. It's still a week away from the 2nd. If there's good weather these two days, we still have to go to sea. One day not going is one day of loss."

"I know, when we eat breakfast tomorrow, we will tell everyone that you plan to go back on the 2nd."

Ye Yaodong nodded.

The next day, when everyone heard that he was going back on the 2nd, they also felt it was too early to go back, as they would have to rest for many days. They were a bit reluctant to give up the current good earning efficiency and thought about persuading him to stay for two more days, as staying for two more days could also earn a lot of money.

Ye Yaodong, however, had made up his mind and let them discuss it and decide for themselves. Those who wanted to go back with him could go back together.

If they wanted to stay for two more days, they could also organize to go back with other boats.

For him, it didn't matter if he earned less for two days. He still had a bunch of industries at home, and now the money in his hands had accumulated a large sum. Going back two days early would also allow him to go to the family workshop and the factory to take a look and stay for a few more days.

The family side was also his main focus, and he had to take care of it.

Going back two days early or two days late, he might have to stay for the same number of days anyway. Going home meant running around everywhere to handle things.

If he went back late, he would have to come back up later.

Then it would be better to go back early. By late November, it would almost be the peak fishing season anyway.

Ye Yaodong let the others discuss it themselves, and after eating, he ran out again, still going to the Chamber of Commerce.

The boats were all back, no need to collect goods, and he had another whole day to kill.

During this period, his relationship with the people in the Chamber of Commerce had progressed by leaps and bounds, all through the friendship at the card table and the camaraderie of going for massages together.

Basically, whoever won the most money would treat everyone to a meal or a massage...

And every time, because he had to collect goods, he would leave the table halfway through when the time came, even if he had won money...

He hadn't spent money to treat anyone yet, which was quite embarrassing, making it seem like he would just pat his butt and leave as soon as he earned money.

He had to spend some money no matter what.

Give and take, eat and return.

These bosses all quite liked massages. After he won money, he had to go against his conscience and treat them to massages, incidentally enjoying it himself before going home.

This wasn't his original intention; he was purely socializing.

Anyway, he would leave when the time came; whether to add time or not was their business.

Ye's father also had a very sharp nose. As soon as he entered the door, his father smelled the fragrance on him.

"Dongzi, what did you go do? You weren't at home all day, didn't come back for meals, and only returned when it was pitch black. The smell on you is so strong, did you learn bad habits?"

Ye Yaodong raised his arm and smelled it. It was indeed quite fragrant. Next time he had to suggest those bosses let the shop change to something unscented!

Otherwise, their secrets would all be exposed.

"I was playing cards with those bosses, and then they treated me to a massage. After the massage, I came back."

"You even got a massage?" Ye's father's voice went up.

"Do you want to go? If you're interested, I'll take you to relax tomorrow?"

"No, no, I won't go to that kind of place. I'm already at this age; if I go, your mother will scold me to death."

"Just don't let her know."

"Did you learn bad habits yourself and want to lead me astray, dragging me into the water so I won't expose your secrets when I get home?"

"How can you say that? I had good intentions, but you took it the wrong way. I was just thinking that you go to sea every day and it's very hard, so I wanted to take you to relax."

Ye's father shook his head like a rattle-drum, "I won't go to that kind of place, and you should go less too, it's very improper."

"Who cares if the place is proper or not? Anyway, I'm proper myself. I didn't do anything, just got my back kneaded and feet soaked before coming back."

"Who knows if you're proper? Let me tell you, I only recognize Aqing as my daughter-in-law..."

Ye Yaodong glared at his father in annoyance, too lazy to talk to him, picked up the washbasin, and went out to fetch water to bathe.

After resting for another day, the wind and waves weren't as big, and the fishing boats continued to go to sea.

This trip was shorter, not even a week, just about five or six days, and they all returned the day before the 2nd.

They discussed it back and forth and felt that they couldn't trust the other boats, so it was safer to follow Ye Yaodong.

Who told him to have so many boats, who told him to have such big boats, and who told him to have so many workers in his hands!

Those who rented his fishing boats naturally followed his lead and all followed him. The others who were left behind had no confidence and definitely didn't dare to leave alone.

They could only follow his schedule and also return on the 2nd, although everyone was heartbroken to death.

Ye Yaodong had already processed all the goods the evening before, and this day also happened to be the 1st. He incidentally went to worship Mazu locally to pray for a smooth journey and added another sum of incense money.

There was also a Mazu temple here, and the incense was exceptionally prosperous. Fishermen were accustomed to worshipping Mazu when entering and leaving.

It should be said that no matter what Buddhist temple it was here, the incense was very prosperous, but it seemed they weren't promoting the Mazu Millennium Festival.

Perhaps Mazu wasn't local; faith was faith, but it wasn't that grand yet.

It was probably also because this place was Guanyin's dojo.

And their Min region was Mazu's hometown. The most famous deity in their Min province was also Mazu. Regardless of whether it was a coastal area or not, Mazu was also very famous.

Naturally, they attached special importance to it, and now feudal superstition wasn't prohibited either.

At night, everyone was also packing the things they wanted to take back, including local specialties and gifts, while some fishing tools were still piled up in their original places and in their respective rooms.

"Dongzi, we also dried a lot of fish that couldn't be sold during this period. Do you want them?"

"Yes, you guys take them back first. I have a lot of things here and many people, so I find it troublesome too. You take them back and send them to the workshop. I'll let Aqing arrange for someone to weigh the goods."

"Alright, then it'll be the same as the end of last year."

"Hmm."

He himself had also saved a large batch in these two months. After drying, there were still nearly ten thousand jin, and he had piled them up against two walls in his room.

The rest were piled up at the newly built house. A row had been built this month, and there was already one floor. Although it wasn't easy to live in yet, it could temporarily store goods.

Otherwise, their 30 rooms were already packed with people, and they were sleeping all over the floor at night, let alone having space to put goods.

When they came over at the beginning of next month, he would have to let them divide a few workers to build him a large warehouse first. The occasional rain in these two months also reminded him that storage was a problem.

Now this piece of land of his could be considered decent, with tens of thousands invested. Because building the current one also cost fifty or sixty thousand, plus twenty thousand for the land, it cost seventy or eighty thousand.

When everything was finished, he estimated it would cost 100,000, which could be considered a large investment.

But it was also worth it. Later, besides the continuous rent collection to recoup the cost, the land itself was very valuable.

When calculating the total accounts for these two months at night, he also incidentally calculated the land accounts.

His father's heart ached, but he felt it was okay.

"Dongzi, don't mess with that piece of land you just bought anymore. We just spent so much money here and haven't recouped the cost yet. No matter what, we have to wait until we recoup the cost before messing with that land."

"I know, I have a plan in my heart."

He just thought that since wasteland was easy to buy now, he would buy it first. Of course, he had to wait until this piece of land recouped its cost first.

And now the population was concentrating in the city and hadn't moved out yet. When the population expanded outward, it wouldn't be too late for him to start building.

He didn't expect to build it very well; anyway, building a few rows of houses was very simple, and turning it into the appearance of an urban village wasn't bad either.

By then, he would proudly point to that urban village and introduce it to others, saying that this whole urban village was his!

Just thinking about it, he would wake up laughing in his dreams.

"How much money did we earn this trip?"

Ye's father watched him put stacks of banknotes into the sack, his eyes staring straight.

"Want to know?"

"Yeah, isn't that a waste of words?"

Ye Yaodong counted 2,000 yuan for his father, "This is your hush money. Don't worry about how much money I earn."

Ye's father's face blossomed with a smile, "You're giving me so much?"

"Hard work fee, it's only right."

He didn't know how much he earned either, so he had to take paper and pen to calculate.

Just counted, there was over 100,000 in cash here. Subtracting the 2,000 yuan given to his father, it was about 100,000.

Just finished calculating the accounts and paying the payment for the other fishing boats, and he also took his own dividends. He gave the other crew members' wages and the boat captain's dividends in one go. Anyway, they were going back early tomorrow morning.

He gave 11,000 yuan, and his heart ached to death. Mainly because there were many workers, one person 135 a month, two months was 270, 30 people was over 8,000, and the boat captain also took a lot.

Now there was about 100,000 left in his hands, which was what he had saved in total since coming up.

However, he also had 200,000 deposited in the bank.

Buying 5 mu of land also cost 50,000.

Calculating it, in these two and a half months, he earned a total of 350,000!
