Chapter 1424: Picking up people

There were many people at the pier, and everyone was squeezed and dispersed by the crowd. Ye Yaodong chatted with his father while walking.

After arriving home, the workers who went to the shipyard with him this morning had long returned, but they went out to wander after the meal, and there were not many people left at home.

These people started to set up pots and cook as soon as they returned.

Most of the people who came back this time helped on the new boats and contributed effort, so he had to treat them to a meal.

This was really a big project.

Ye Yaodong felt that building a canteen was imperative.

While waiting, he called the three friends together again and told them about the discussion he and his father just had.

The three of them all said it was good. With Ye Fu going back together, what else was there to worry about?

They originally wanted to call an experienced boatman to go back together, otherwise their fathers wouldn't be at ease.

Now with Ye Fu sailing the boat to take them back, it couldn't be better.

Originally, they also had this idea at the beginning, but Ye Yaodong refused it in one breath, saying that neither he nor his father would go back, and let them bring his workers up while they were at it.

After discussing it, Ye Yaodong also mentioned to them by the way, letting them go back and find Fatty.

"You just ask him, does he want to follow you up for a market survey? Just open a restaurant here, and you can make money with your eyes closed."

"It's true. There are so many workers at the pier here. On the big and small roads near the pier, there are all kinds of restaurants. People eat all day long. At meal times, there's no place to sit, and a large group of people sit on the ground to eat."

"Terrible, and a bunch of people go to eat."

"It's possible to ask Fatty to come up and open a branch, he'll make a fortune."

"Right? I think so too, so you go back and call him up, see if he comes up. If he doesn't, forget it."

"Then we'll try to call him. Anyway, we have to go to the city to sail the boats, so we'll eat a meal at his place then."

Ye Yaodong felt that if Fatty became big and strong in the future, he would have to thank him for eight lifetimes.

After saying this, he mentioned that he was preparing to build another canteen, and after the New Year, he wouldn't be responsible for meals, only giving meal subsidies, to save from setting up pots and cooking every day, and arranging for so many people to eat, which was troublesome.

"Ah! Not responsible for meals? Then we don't have to be responsible either! Let them go to the canteen to eat, it's easy!"

"Right, if there's a canteen, that would be great. It saves from being exhausted, and having to cook when coming back. We just spend money to eat outside when we come back in the middle of the night."

"If you build this canteen, it's really convenient. A bunch of pots, pans, and bowls here can all be collected. There's no need to be messy in the open space, and no need to quarrel every day because of garbage."

Everyone said it was good, so it was really good.

Ye Yaodong arranged it early the next morning, and immediately went to invite the foreman back, talking about his requirements and what kind of building to build.

After confirming that the person understood his meaning, he contacted cement, sand, and gravel again, and arranged for them to enter the site that day.

And his father and the others set off in the middle of the night. Ye Yaodong was not at ease, and specially sent two workers to go back with his father.

Other fishing boats also went out to sea in the middle of the night.

After Ye Yaodong arranged the building materials, he also went to the Chamber of Commerce to call home by the way. His father had already sailed back, so he had to notify his mother and let her arrange the manpower early.

His father set off in the middle of the night, didn't rest on the road, and at the earliest, he would arrive tomorrow morning.

He notified his mother on the 1st, sailed back yesterday, set off early this morning. When his father goes back home tomorrow, it will be the 4th, so he should be able to call good workers.

Then when his father returns for the first time, it will be the 6th at the earliest, the day after tomorrow.

This is calculated just right, the fastest situation. If it's slow, it will have to be delayed.

After the fishing boats started going out to sea, he was also busy. He had to go outside the pier to collect goods every day. Fortunately, he didn't have to go to sea, and could look at the progress of the house building on the shore and arrange building materials.

Basically, these two days, he looked at the progress every morning, arranged the procurement of building materials, went to the Chamber of Commerce for a stroll in the afternoon, confirmed the quantity of fish goods needed for the 2nd day, and then went to the pier to wait for the fishing boats.

Originally, he wanted to find time to find the familiar person and ask how the aquatic product trading market was being built, but he couldn't find time. That day, he only met once in a hurry on the way to sail the boats.

Ye Yaodong thought he could only wait until his father came up, and with someone to help, he could be freer to find the familiar person.

However, before he went to find the familiar person, the person came to find him on the 4th.

Seeing that Ye Yaodong had built so many houses here, and it looked quite decent, he was also a bit curious.

"You built so many houses here, such a large piece of wasteland, now it looks quite decent, spent a lot of money, right?"

"Quite a lot, almost all the family wealth has to be invested."

"Stop joking, your family wealth isn't worth this little. Any boat of yours costs 100,000 yuan, not to mention you have dozens of boats. I've never seen anyone with more boats than you."

"I've also never seen anyone who loves driving big trucks more than you. You could have been more comfortable at home."

Ye Yaodong led him to visit his territory and chatted by the way.

"Comfortable? At home is comfortable, but there's no money to make. Only by driving big trucks out can you make money."

"Who said that? You're just limited by the thinking of a long-term big truck driver. Look, this place is full of people. Where there are people, there is consumption. What can't be done here? Targeting consumption, what can't make money? No need to run outside."

"You're right, so I came here this time thinking about whether to listen to you, change industries and try, not run around driving big trucks."

"Right, you can make a lot of money by selling buns and tea eggs here. It's not the first few years anymore. The era when big truck drivers were the most popular has passed."

Ye Yaodong was really not stingy with friends he treated sincerely, not to mention that people had strength, courage, and boldness, just waiting for his reminder.

"Alright, then I'll listen to you, open a big massage shop."

"Ah?"

"When I finish building it, you can come whenever you want."

"Ah!"

He originally wanted to say, when did he tell him to open a big massage shop, but since he could do whatever he wanted, he wouldn't say it.

"Ah what? How big do you think I should build?"

"Look at yourself, why do you want to open a massage shop? Doing something else is also fine."

"This money is easy to make, right? Aren't those who come here to work men? When men are away from home, isn't their money spent like this?"

"Consider me asking in vain, you decide for yourself."

"Originally wanted to ask you, how did you do that interest-free loan last year."

Just say it, definitely not coming to him to chat casually.

Ye Yaodong told him how he did the interest-free loan last year. He didn't need to say or do anything else. The familiar person would naturally know how to do it.

And he also asked about the trading market by the way, just saying it wouldn't be that fast, it would take a few months, and when it could be traded, he would notify him.

The familiar person didn't stay long, asked clearly, and left after asking.

Ye Yaodong really didn't expect that he would really open a big massage shop. He didn't know if it was really that profitable.

Driving big trucks looks profitable now, but it's very dangerous, extra hard, and will slowly become less promising and less popular.

Changing industries early now is not bad. According to the current environment, doing other businesses is more profitable.

Thinking that the familiar person was also going to the bank for a loan to start a business, he thought of his 200,000 yuan deposit.

It's New Year's Day now, and it's been three months since it was deposited. He has to find time to go to the bank to check his interest recently.

And in the two days after his father left, he had to call home when he went to the Chamber of Commerce. The first day he notified his family that his father had set off, the second day he asked if his father had arrived, and the third day he asked when he would come up.

There was no one in the village now, and Ye Fu had nowhere to wander. The glory of sailing the big boat back was reduced by more than half.

Originally thought it would be very lively, would attract how many onlookers, how many people would flatter, but only the women in the workshop came out to take a look.

It was only after he went ashore that the women in the village came to him, basically all asking about the men in their families. No one asked about his new boat, at most one sentence, the focus was still on asking about their own men.

Now he couldn't stay at home either. After Ye Yaodong's three friends sailed the boats back and finished their business, they hurried up as soon as possible.

Saying it was the first time to come up, it was actually delayed until the 10th.

No matter how urgent, people sailing back had to pick a good day, ask for good luck, and couldn't be urged. They had to wait. Fortunately, it wasn't delayed too long.

Ye Yaodong could only ask every day and wait every day, until they successfully came up.

"Why did you come up until the 10th, this trip back took almost 10 days."

"Have to try to pick a good day, whether it's sailing back or setting off, it's a big deal related to safety and making money, can't be sloppy."

"The boats aren't docked together either, let's go take a look at their new boats later."

"Is the living arrangement ready?"

"Almost, nothing to arrange."

Most of his workers were at sea, and the beds were empty. They could sleep anywhere. Anyway, they were all poor, and had no valuables.

A few yuan, they probably brought them directly to the sea. There were many people here, and a few yuan had to be carried with them.

And these people wouldn't sleep for two days, they would have to go out to sea with the boats, and wouldn't be particular. It was good to have a place to sleep that could shelter from wind and rain.

Going back for the New Year next month, they couldn't stay for a few days, and most of them were at sea. There were not many days to sleep on shore.

He really didn't worry about the living problem. He only worried about the eating problem when the time came.

He could only let the 4 workers left behind persist for a few days. They probably wouldn't cook for many days, so it wouldn't be suitable when going out to sea. When all the fishing boats came back, there would be so many people eating at home at the same time. Daily life definitely wouldn't have so many.

Ye Yaodong told his father, and then the two discussed and arranged the boat boss to sail these new boats.

Ye Yaodong explained the situation to his father, and then the two of them discussed and arranged for a captain to operate these new ships.
