Chapter 1420

Since Ye Fu stopped going to sea and was at ease about that super-large boat, he followed Ye Yaodong every day, following wherever he went, only then realizing how miserable he had been before.

He regretted it endlessly in his heart; if he had known, he would have listened to Dongzi earlier.

He wasn't worried about his own boat, so why was he worrying blindly? He was worried every day, reluctant to go ashore, and suffered that hardship at sea.

Now he follows him every day, sleeping until he wakes up naturally, strolling around after a meal, then playing cards, sometimes returning to take a nap, waiting for someone to notify him before going out to collect goods, and occasionally if he's lucky, he can get a massage.

This life is simply heaven and earth compared to staying at sea.

However, the father and son didn't forget to run to the shipyard. The day for boat delivery was approaching, and they had to keep an eye on it. Every day or two, they had to go to the shipyard to walk around, lest they push it back again.

Basically, by the end of the month, when his 30 rooms were done with bed installation, the shipyard's boat had to be delivered immediately. He could accept a day or two difference, but pushing it back again was not acceptable.

Now the end of every month was an important day for them, especially this month; after the end of the month, it would be New Year's Day.

And the several boats at sea were also thinking about the end-of-month accounting day, all very tacitly returning on the last day of the month, but the date Ye Yaodong looked at for bed installation and moving was the 30th.

So after the iron frame beds were delivered, Ye Yaodong looked at the 30th as a suitable date for moving, so he simply let the people at home help install all the beds first, and set off firecrackers to respond to the scene first.

As for whether to rent more rooms, there was no need for Ye Yaodong to say; they would consider it themselves.

Originally, he built this house because there wasn't enough space, so everyone naturally had plans in their hearts.

However, after the beds were installed, Ye Yaodong locked all the rooms opposite.

Before the beds were installed, everyone complained about being crowded and moved over to sleep, but now that the beds were installed, they certainly couldn't be given to them to sleep in casually.

If there were many people on any boat and the place was too crowded to sleep, their boat boss would naturally have to come and rent, instead of asking him to do charity.

He spent so much money, and he also wanted to make money.

It just so happened that he locked the door while installing the beds. When they needed it, they would ask him to rent, and then he would give them the room keys.

Small boats basically all had to rent, because there weren't enough rooms before, and basically two boats shared one room. Now that there were empty rooms, they all had to rent another room.

Basically, there were about 6 people on one boat, and just one room could be arranged.

The boat boss inside naturally wouldn't be willing to spend money alone to rent one, as those they brought were basically brothers, sons, and nephews, so there was no need to guard against each other and live separately.

So the next day, after Ye Yaodong assigned accommodation to his own workers, the boat bosses of those small boats were already discussing asking him to rent rooms, and those who were squeezed together had to be separated.

For this matter of collecting rent, he naturally had to record it with pen and paper.

Temporarily, he sent a younger brother to ride a bike out to buy him a notebook, and he planned to record the house rental in a separate notebook.

However, there were some things he had to tell everyone in advance.

"Let me say in advance, when you rented the rooms here, the rent was paid until the end of this month, just passing this month. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, the 1st, and rent must be paid for both sides."

"Understood, we all remember, we all know."

"Yes, it just happens to pass today, we who rented together just happen to separate, no need to calculate any accounts, it's clear, just rent one room each now."

"Okay, my father inquired about the rent two days ago. Now basically a room has risen to about 25 yuan a month, and more spacious ones are only higher, not lower. We follow the market price, you see how many months you want to rent?"

His place, if nothing else, is at least safe, and the house is new.

"We naturally rent until after the New Year. What the situation is after the New Year, we will see after the New Year, whether to come up, whether to continue renting."

"Yes, we rent until about the New Year."

Ye Yaodong turned the pen in his hand and nodded, "I flipped through the calendar, this year's New Year's Eve is February 16, just in the middle of the month, so you are renting for one month?"

"Then we just rent for one month."

"Okay."

Ye Fu said to everyone in advance: "Then when the one month expires, when the room is empty, if someone wants to rent a room, it will be rented out to outsiders."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Dongzi spent tens of thousands to build this house, and all the money earned was put into it. It's impossible to keep it empty just waiting for everyone to rent. If everyone doesn't rent, he's still losing money if it's empty. 25 yuan a room a month, 30 rooms is 750 yuan, empty for two months is 1500, that's powerful."

"That's true..."

"That money spent, it must make money, can't be empty for nothing..."

"Then what do we do when the time comes? What if someone comes up, do we have to go elsewhere to rent a house?"

"Where else is as good as here..."

Everyone started discussing in whispers.

Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry.

What his father said was also what he wanted to say, and the father and son had already discussed this matter.

One sings the red face, one sings the white face, let his father be his mouthpiece.

It was impossible for him to keep the house empty just to rent to villagers. Who he rents to is not renting?

And his place has high security and is surrounded by walls, at least it can prevent outsiders, and safety is guaranteed. Anyone living in his place will be more at ease.

He is not afraid of renting to outsiders. After all, he has so many workers on hand, and so many villagers who can help. Hundreds of people are a force not to be underestimated wherever they go. If they dare to make trouble, beat them up and drive them out.

His own workers will naturally keep good rooms and will not take them to rent.

"You discuss it first. Don't be in a hurry. Anyway, other boats haven't returned yet. Everyone has to calculate the fishing boat accounts these two days. Wait for others to say? Anyway, whether you come up after the New Year, you also have to refer to the opinions of other big boats."

"Okay, we'll discuss it and talk about it tonight."

Ye Yaodong's workers had no worries and were already smiling and moving things first.

However, his workers were basically at sea. He arranged it, but only a few workers collecting fresh fish moved their luggage in at this moment.

He currently has 32 workers besides his father and him, needing 5 rooms. The extra two people squeeze another bunk bed in the room. Before, these people only occupied two rooms. Now he only allocated three rooms opposite, which is enough.

Those who moved in first were all happy, and there were also whispers.

"It's still better to work with Adong, it won't be so tangled..."

"I heard that some of them are thinking about continuing to come up after the New Year. After all, making money here is much faster than at home."

"Yes, but they are thinking about going back for several days during the New Year. Whether to come up specifically hasn't been decided yet. They certainly aren't willing to rent for several months at once."

"That's indeed tangled..."

"Forget them, anyway, we are just workers, let their boat boss decide."

By evening, those boats of Dongsheng also returned one after another, but they had to sell goods and couldn't get home so quickly, and Ye Yaodong also had to sell the goods on his own boat.

When it was pitch black at night, everyone returned one after another.

However, the night was dark and the weather was cold, so it was not suitable for calculating accounts and talking.

They waited until the next morning to talk about renting a house.

Everyone looked at the house that had been built over there and was a bit happy. Without Ye Yaodong saying anything, the villagers were already talking about when the house was finished and when the beds were installed.

Then they talked about the problem of renting a house yesterday. Everyone was still tangled there, wanting to hear the opinions of those who had just returned.

After all, those who spoke yesterday were all small boat bosses. If they want to come up next year, they must also count on the big boats.

And everyone's first reaction was, "What does Dongzi say?"

"He said he wasn't sure whether he would stay here after the New Year, but he would definitely come to collect rent, or arrange for people to stay here."

"Dongzi?"

Ye Yaodong sat at the dining table, one hand supporting his cheek, the other turning the pen.

"I'm also thinking about it myself. Otherwise, why don't you rent for one month first? When it's close to the New Year and you're going back, you see if you want to renew the lease?"

"That works too."

"Actually, everyone is looking at your opinion," A Guang said.

Ye Yaopeng also nodded, "Yes, actually everyone is looking at you. If you have plans to come up after the New Year, then everyone will definitely follow up. If you don't have plans to come up, everyone has to weigh whether to organize people themselves."

"Then I'll ponder it before giving you a reply, and see if I want to continue fishing here after the New Year."

A Zheng advised, "Dongzi, come up. Where at home is as rich in resources as here, and so easy to fish? What's more, I heard that there are various fishing seasons all year round here, and the fishing boats here are all chasing the fishing seasons."

Xiao Xiao also echoed, "Yes, I heard that every season, when the fishing season arrives, everyone chases the fish."

A Guang also advised: "That's right, isn't your boat from the shipyard able to be delivered in these two days? Earning more here than at home, you have many boats, and the gap in money earned in the two places is naturally large, so it will definitely pay back quickly, much easier than at home."

"You all want to continue to come up after the New Year and fish here, right?" Ye Yaodong asked everyone.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded intermittently. Basically 80% wanted to come up, and only a few didn't express their position, only saying they would look at everyone's meaning.

"Look, 80% of you want to come up and make money here, then why are you looking at me?" Ye Yaodong asked puzzledly.

"Even if I say I'm not coming up, so many of your boats organize, you can go directly to this side. Still tangled about renting a house? Can't you decide directly now? Care if I come up or not?"

Ye Yaodong reached out and pointed at A Guang, A Zheng, Xiao Xiao, Zhou Da and others, "You, you, you, you all want to come up, then just sail the boat directly. All those small boats follow, still tangled about renting a house?"

They looked at each other and reacted, laughing.

"That's true..."

"We just feel more at ease following you, plus so many houses here are yours, don't we want to listen to you?" A Guang said.

"Yes, don't we just want to follow you back and forth, your boats are big and many, so we want to listen to your opinion?"

"You didn't express whether you were coming up after the New Year, so of course we were tangled about whether to come up and whether to rent a house..."

Ye Yaodong poked the table with a pen, opened a new notebook, and pressed it.

"Anyway, 80% of you tend to come up, so there's no suspense. Just decide on the house rental directly. Rent for a few months first?"

"Rent for a few months?"

For everyone, this was another difficult problem.

"Otherwise, just rent for a year directly. Anyway, you are not short of money now, just pack for a year and save money!"

"A year? That's too long..."

"Otherwise, shall we still rent for three months as usual? Renew the lease later?"

Ye Yaodong said: "Now the local rent here is rising every month. If you rent for a year in advance, the rent for this year will be fixed."

"If you rent for three months, then when it expires in three months, you have to follow the current market price, and it will definitely rise again."

Ye Fu also followed and said: "That's right, at the beginning and end of this year, the rent of ordinary old houses has risen by 10 yuan. That is a difference of 120 yuan a year. How much is the rent itself? It's a difference of 1/3, right?"

Ye Yaodong said: "I'll calculate for you. Now a room is 25 a month, a year is 300 yuan. Isn't this just the money for your small boat's goods for two days?"

"Two days of goods money for a year, is it cost-effective? For your other big boats, that's just half a day's goods."

"You are really good at calculating, directly using goods to offset," A Guang rolled his eyes, "Then we will also directly use goods to offset for you. It just happens to be accounting today, you just deduct the year's rent from the payment, it's only 300 yuan."

"Determined? Determined that I will record that you rent for a year?"

"Determined, just calculate the account later, you just deduct it from inside."

"You want two rooms, right? Then deduct 600 yuan?"

Although A Guang and his father, and several workers in one room is just right, they have money, and the father and son have long thought about living separately and not living with workers.

"Okay, anyway, if we change our mind and don't come up, we can directly sublet, right?"

"Yes, of course."

A Guang said this, also reminding everyone that they could sublet. Now many people who were still tangled had no worries.

Ye Fu said: "Now directly rent for a year, when the time comes, don't rent and sublet. Later, the rent rises, and subletting can rent higher."

Everyone heard, it is also this truth. Saying this will not lose money, and if they sublet, it can be rented more expensively.

"Calculated this way, renting for a year is more cost-effective..."

Ye Yaodong finished recording A Guang's name and said: "Originally, now directly grab the share of the house in advance. If there are fishing boats following everyone up after the New Year, they have to go outside to live."

"Anyway, you rent for a year and definitely won't lose money. When the time comes, you can sublet, reducing worries. Living here is definitely better than living outside, right?"

A Zheng said: "Then I will also rent for a year."

Several of their close friends expressed their positions, and later the villagers renting for a year was also logical.

Ordinary people have a herd mentality. If no one is sure, they look at each other. Once someone decides, everyone rushes to order.

Ye Yaodong's 60 rooms, except for 5 rooms left for his own workers, and one room for himself and his father, the remaining 54 rooms were divided by everyone's discussion, and there was nothing left.

Originally, there were three or four hundred people coming up, 6 people per room, 60 rooms actually could only barely be just right.

Originally, he wanted to live separately from his father, but later there were not enough workers, so he would continue to live with his father.

A year's rent of 300 yuan, for everyone who earned money, actually didn't count for anything. Everyone was very decisive and crisp after confirming.

Just like he calculated just now, it's just one or two days of goods money.

And 54 rooms also brought him a profit of 16,200 yuan!

Ordering for a year at once can be considered as returning a lot of blood for him. After all, he also spent nearly 100,000 yuan for this piece of land and house.

Calculated this way, he only needs 6 years to pay back, maybe it won't take 6 years, after all, the rent rises every year.

And if there is no accident in the first year this year, then everyone will definitely rent every year, which also guarantees his rental rate for the next few years.

Renting to people in his own village is naturally better than renting to outsiders.

Ye Yaodong looked at the new notebook full of names and rents, and also smiled, making money again.

Ye Fu also counted the large amount of money in his hand with a full face of smiles.

Just now one was responsible for recording, one was responsible for counting money, father and son worked together, perfect.

"Okay, done with the house rental, those who should pay have paid, those who haven't paid, just offset when checking the accounts later."

"Just now the keys were given to you. Are you moving in first and then checking the accounts, or checking now?"

Just now when paying money and giving keys, they took the keys and let the workers move first, and only they themselves hadn't moved.

"Move first, let's check the accounts after tidying up things. This account is not so fast to calculate."

"Okay."

Then he waited, and the money didn't need to be collected into the room. Anyway, he would still have to give money after checking the accounts later.

Every end of the month, checking accounts takes at least two hours, and after he finishes checking accounts with everyone, he still has to collect rent from the small boat side.

Everyone spent the whole morning here today.

The income he got this month was also a bit more than last month. Last month, he only earned about 130,000 for the whole month, still because Ocean No. 1 earned more.

This month Ocean No. 1 was handed over to others to drive, and returned twice in the middle, plus rest, also delayed for several days, which can be considered earning less, but other boats earned a little more.

Calculated in total, he earned about 140,000 this month.

However, this is without deducting labor, and without deducting the boat boss's share. Labor and boat boss share a month is probably about 10,000 yuan.

This has to wait until next month to go home to calculate, and then give it to them to bring back in one lump sum.

Everyone was jubilant, counting the money in their hands, and only after counting did someone ask him.

"Dongzi, is the boat in your shipyard coming back in these two days?"

"Yes, it could have been driven back today, but I looked at it, today is not suitable for everything. Thinking about driving it back tomorrow, tomorrow is not a good day, but it won't be very bad. Anyway, try it in the water, if there is no problem, drive it back."

"Then we will go with you tomorrow? You have 5 boats, and a super-large fresh fish collection boat."

"Okay, all can."

"You are awesome again, suddenly 5 more boats, how many boats do you have now?"

Ye Yaodong counted with his fingers, "17 small boats, Dongsheng sorted 5 boats, one 30-meter fresh fish collection boat, one 40-meter one, one Ocean No. 1, a total of 25 boats, it seems not many?"

"Still not many?!" Many people said in unison.

A Zheng was so angry he slapped the table, "We only have half a boat, the boat made by the loan at the beginning of the year, still have to wait until we go home to drive it back."

Xiao Xiao echoed, "That is!"

"Don't you have a small boat that was also rented out? Why not count it as one and a half? When you go home and drive the boat from the shipyard back, you will have two and a half."

Their three friends all took out loans, so they were eager to follow up after the New Year to make money. After all, it is indeed better to earn here than at home.

"I plan to go to the shipyard to drive the boat back tomorrow, and then go to book a fishing boat. This time I have to book 44 meters, not smaller than this."

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Ah?"

"You still want to book?"

"What?"

"Damn, you still want to book a fishing boat? Still a super-large boat of more than 40 meters?"

"You have so many boats, still want to book?"

Everyone was boiling, more excited than his wife.

A Qing was not so excited when she heard it.

Ye Yaodong dug his ears, surrounded by people, you say a sentence, I say a sentence, buzzing, noisy to death.

"Who thinks there are too many boats? I don't have many boats, can I make money? Can you follow me everywhere?"

Ye Yaopeng said: "Then your boats are enough, Dongzi..."

Ye Yaohua said: "Then the 40-meter boat is at least more than 100,000, right?"

"Ordinary iron boats are about this price, but if it is an all-steel one like the ocean-going one, that's more than that? It has to double, right?"

"Damn, my god... so expensive and still two..."

Ye Yaodong tapped the desktop with a pen, "Asked, said pay half the deposit is enough, wait for delivery later."

If it weren't for the high cost of such super-large boats, he wouldn't have to pay half.

"Then it must be at least 100,000?"

"Never seen so much in this life."

"Everyone can earn it in the future, it won't take a few years." Ye Yaodong said with a smile, this is also the truth.

"Borrow your auspicious words."

Ye Yaohua asked hesitantly: "Then Dongzi, if I have money on hand, is it better to buy a boat?"

"Look at yourself."

He has already set an example and bought so many boats, still asking him?

Obviously there is already an accurate answer, just copy it.

But he certainly wouldn't say it. After all, the sea risk is great, look at their own personal considerations.

Some people are like hamsters, just want to save money, reluctant to spend, feel that one boat is enough, such people are not without, but many.

Afraid of poverty, don't want to have no money on hand, and don't want to owe money.

Also quite normal.

After all, no one will be like him to foresee the future and know that money will depreciate.

He doesn't know clearly about other things, but money will depreciate, he becomes a pig and he knows it, he just wants to spend the money.
