Chapter 1429: Begging him to spend money

"Dig a cellar..."

Ye Yaodong repeated it several times, then shook his head.

"No, digging a cellar, the movement definitely can't be hidden from neighbors. Everyone will know our family has a cellar. Our courtyard is buried with a lot of treasures, don't lose more than you gain."

A well-known cellar, everyone can't help but feel that he hides good things in the cellar.

"Then forget it..."

"If you really feel there is too much cash, I'm thinking, hang it on the village, buy a big truck."

"Ah?"

"Quite necessary. Now as long as going out to sea, every day or every other day, hundreds of tons of goods are pulled back, and then I send them to each boss. Now the most lacking is a big car."

This was also what he had thought of long ago. He didn't have a big car himself, and it was too inconvenient to rent a car to deliver goods every day.

If he couldn't drive a truck, and big truck drivers weren't easy to find, and he didn't have time to learn, otherwise he would have bought it long ago.

Lin Xiuqing thought about it, and felt it was quite necessary.

The family bought so many boats, not short of a big car.

"Buying is fine, can also let the village write a certificate to hang on the village unit, but who drives? You can't drive either. Learning to drive a big car is not a matter of a few days. Do you have time."

"Ask around, ask, otherwise there is no way, can only buy the car first, hang on the village unit, and then arrange for people to learn."

Not just learning to drive, but also learning repair, mechanical maintenance, and also have to pass the exam, get an internship certificate.

This is a long process, it's hard to get the master's recognition without more than a year or two. To get an internship certificate, the master has to sign.

It wasn't until after the 90s that there were regular driving schools, regular and systematic teaching. Now wanting to learn to drive is a long and difficult process.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought only a tractor for so long, he wasn't short of money.

Now it's not okay not to buy. If he can't find someone to drive, he can only send people to learn, but the car must be bought first. Only units with cars can apply for unified learning.

"Fine, you decide, as long as it's worth spending, then you go buy it," Lin Xiuqing whispered again, "Cash is really getting more and more, I have a headache hiding money every day, and worry about damp and mold."

Ye Yaodong gave her a look. Look, before buying boats, she was reluctant, felt his appetite was too big, bought too many at once, now she is complaining that there is too much cash.

Lin Xiuqing was also a bit embarrassed, put down the sack she was holding, walked to his side and pinched his shoulder.

"Who could have thought of the future? If someone told me 6 years ago that our family could have a million in 6 years, I could say he was sick, and not lightly."

Ye Yaodong also felt melancholy. Didn't expect it to be 6 years all of a sudden, it was quite fast. Is this 1988?

"According to the speed you make money now, our family can double next year."

"More than that, we plan to go up to earn money after the fifteenth of the Lantern Festival."

Lin Xiuqing was surprised. "Go up after the New Year? Not staying at home in the first half of the year?"

"Should be, there are many goods in the fishing grounds above, many factories, many businessmen, sales channels are wider, money is easier to make, the village is more inclined to go up. And Aguang, Azheng, Hearing Xiao Xiao, the three of them just got three more boats, and they still owe loans to the bank. They are also eager to make money now, all want to go up."

"I have fresh-collecting boats, I have to follow them to collect goods and make money, so if they all want to go up, I must follow up to collect goods."

Her brows frowned. "Then you go up to collect goods and make money, it's not wrong, it's just that I have to arrange the family alone, and the town..."

"Isn't your time allocated quite well now? Take care of the family in the morning, go to the factory in the town in the afternoon, and go to the city once a week to check accounts."

Lin Xiuqing also knew that he was not easier outside than she was at home. It was equally difficult, managing so many people, so many boats, arranging so many goods, and the competition outside was also big, and many things he had to do personally.

"Then what about later? You go up and don'

The old lady was shocked, "Huh? You're not coming back until after the New Year? You can't just leave for a whole year. This family..."

"It's not like I'm not coming back. Dad will lead the new recruits for a while, and then hand the work over to others. By then, I'll take turns coming back with him. Whenever I have time, I'll come back and stay for a month or so."

"That's fine then. Have you both discussed it?"

"We didn't discuss it. When we were talking at the time, most people said they would come up after the New Year, but they definitely have to follow the big ships when they go up."

Ye Yaodong felt the water getting cold, so he wiped his feet dry, put on his slippers, lifted the pot lid, and took some rice dumplings to pad his stomach.

Then, listening to the two women nagging in his ears about how he couldn't stay up there all the time and so on.

He just nodded and kept eating to himself; at least the three big things had been communicated.

The old lady saw him eat five in one go and was about to eat more, so she hurriedly stopped him, "Don't eat too much. This is made of sticky rice; it's hard to digest if you eat too much."

"Mm."

"It's the middle of the night already. You two hurry back to sleep. Whatever it is, talk about it after you wake up. Do you want to bring the child over to sleep with me?"

"No need. It's the middle of the night; it's easy to catch a cold carrying her back and forth. Just let her sleep in the room."

Ye Yaodong wiped his sticky hands and carried the sack into the room.

Lin Xiuqing was about to turn off the light, but the old lady waved her away, "You go too, you go too. I'll turn off the light here."

Ye Yaodong casually stuffed the sack under the bed first, "Let's count it tomorrow when we wake up. That much money can't be counted in a short while. It's too late now, let's sleep early."

"I'll organize it after I wake up tomorrow."

She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Do you check the money you deposited in Zhoushan a few months ago often?"

"I've checked it twice. It's there."

"Tell me, should I take some money and deposit it in the bank?"

"How much do you plan to deposit? If you deposit too little, I don't think it's necessary. If you deposit too much, I guess you wouldn't feel at ease, right?"

"That's why I'm hesitating."

They had too much money; it was already over a million now. Depositing 100,000 felt somewhat meaningless to her.

She really wanted to tell him to spend more money now. There was too much, and she didn't even feel at ease sleeping...

"Is there anything else you want to mess around with?" Lin Xiuqing asked him ingratiatingly.

Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes at her fiercely, then lifted the quilt and lay down, kissing the child first before saying.

"I just ordered three super-large ships, and the delivery dates are scheduled for three years later. I also spent nearly 100,000 yuan to develop the three acres of land. Now I'm planning to buy a large truck. What else do you want me to buy?"

"Just keep it for now, for two or three years first. If there's no place to put it, use a water vat to hold it. In the next two nights, I'll dig a big pit in the courtyard, and we'll bury the vat underground."

She hesitated, "Will that work?"

"It's much better than your cellar idea. At least digging a big pit makes less noise. I can get it done in one night by myself. You look at that cellar of yours; how much effort would that take?"

"Alright then. I feel like we're like groundhogs, hiding everything underground."

"There's no help for that. Who told me to have such good luck?"

"Otherwise, why don't you go buy more land?"

"Buy more land?"

Lin Xiuqing nodded, "If you set up another factory, we won't be able to handle it. There are already several workshops, and it's already enough to keep me busy now."

"You also said you've already ordered three more ships. If you want to order more, the factory definitely won't take the order. It's impossible for us to fill up all their orders."

"Then thinking it over, buying land is the best. I can't think of anything else to do now, but anyway, we have land, and we can use it for whatever we want whenever we want."

"It's better than being anxious with a bunch of money in our hands. That's really not as good as exchanging it for land. Didn't you say money will depreciate in the future? Land won't, right?"

Ye Yaodong looked gratified; she was finally begging him to spend money.

It really was the tides turning.

"Buy! Let's buy land! Wait for me to rest a bit, and we'll total up the money at home. I'll go visit my godfather in the city in two days, and then look around for land. I'll buy as much as I can."

He was most familiar with his own city, and with his connections, buying land in his own city was the most reassuring.

He'd look around in two days, and when the time came, he'd buy a few more plots wherever there was wasteland or forest land.

It was rare for his wife to be so sensible and beg him to spend money; naturally, he couldn't let her down.

"Buy in our city?"

"Otherwise, where else do you want to buy? Buy in Jingcheng? Although it's not like we can't afford it..."

"You're thinking too much. Jingcheng, you really dare to think. I haven't even been to Jingcheng in my whole life."

"You're only 30, and you're talking about your whole life? In a few years, I'll take you there!"

Lin Xiuqing rolled her eyes at him, took off her coat, and lay down beside him, "Forget it. You're always saying you'll take me here and there. Do you have the time? Even if you have time, I don't. Hurry up and sleep."

Ye Yaodong pulled her over, "It will come true. How hard can it be?"

"It takes days and nights to get to Beijing by train from here. You really dare to say that."

That was true.

"I'm talking about the future."

"You'd better take care of the present. Go ask in the village tomorrow what kind of proof you need to buy a truck."

"Got it."

"Why don't you develop the 5 acres of land you just bought a while ago? Build a dormitory building? Didn't you say there are many migrant workers up there? Wouldn't it be easy to collect rent if we build it?"

"You've gotten smart, knowing how to draw inferences."

"Is it really okay? Then let's build it after the New Year. At least we can collect some rent in a year. Didn't you say prices up there are rising very fast? It won't take many years to break even. The rent for the empty land we just built on has already collected over 20,000..."

"That's because our villagers went up there and occupied the place directly, so we didn't have to bother renting. The land we just bought is still considered the suburbs now, so we have to slow down, wait two years first."

Wait two years until the 90s, it should be about right.

"Alright then, you're familiar with it up there."

"When I go up after the New Year, I'll see about buying a few shops there. They just built a seafood trading city there. I've been eyeing this for a long time."

"Fine, you just go ahead and spend the money. Otherwise, our family is just bringing in money now, and there's nowhere to put it. It's worrying me to death."

"Mm-hmm."
