Chapter 1583

Around 11 o'clock at night, the No. 5 boat that Ye Yaodong had been looking forward to finally arrived.

Before arriving, the three boats had already discussed the order of moving goods. Anyway, there were only three boats in total, so whoever was close to the time of collecting the net would come first.

Ye Yaodong's net was just right. He contacted them more than three hours ago. At that time, his fishing net had already been cast, and when they met, he was just collecting the net.

And his fishing boat didn't need to move. The workers collected the nets themselves, and the No. 5 boat just needed to take the initiative to come over and collect the goods.

It also happened that a batch of workers was brought over on the boat, so there was labor for moving, and it didn't delay the loading, unloading, and sorting work on the boat itself.

After the workers on the boat finished loading, unloading, and sorting the goods, they could also spare their hands to help move them together.

Ye Yaodong held a flashlight and watched the No. 5 boat slowly approach. There were about 10 people standing on the deck, all familiar faces.

When the two boats were close together, the workers on the opposite boat climbed over and asked him what to do.

He directly let Lao Xiao take people to direct the moving, while he pulled the boat boss to talk.

"Why are there only a dozen people?"

"It was hard to gather them. Your father said there was nowhere to find them, so he could only draw a few from the remaining logistics, and then draw five or six capable-looking soldiers from the processing plant."

"Otherwise, he said he could only go outside to find workers. If people outside knew that our big group was all from one village, no one would dare to come."

"So, after calculating, we can only draw a dozen people for you. There will be no one left to arrange for delivery. This is because your goods arrive at the shore every two or three days."

"The delivery personnel originally reserved can be slightly fewer, and some can be spared to be sent to you at sea. When your fishing boat returns, the workers on this boat can also help arrange delivery together."

Now that there is no manpower, everyone can only try to do a little more, and temporarily overcome the difficulties first."

Ye Yaodong sighed after hearing this. "Alright, this arrangement is fine. It just so happens that the No. 4 boat can only be used for delivery temporarily now, without dragging nets, so fewer people can be arranged. If a few are spared and coordinated, it should be barely enough."

"Then your father also let the fresh-collecting boat notify your childhood friend to return. When I set off, that 40-meter fresh-collecting boat just arrived at the shore, which is a coincidence. Your father said to let your friends follow the fresh-collecting boat over. It is estimated that they are behind me and should already be at sea."

Being able to have three more people is better than nothing. It's okay to gather them together.

It is mainly because he has now divided three boats as fresh-collecting boats, so he doesn't need as many people as originally estimated for the time being.

When he finds time to go back and solve the problems of boats and manpower, he can let the No. 4 and No. 5 boats fish normally.

Ye Yaodong looked at the workers who were lifting goods back and forth, helped to shine the flashlight, and asked the boat boss, "How many days did you sail on the road?"

"Three days, to be precise, it should be three days and a few hours. When we set off, it was just when the rain was heaviest, but there was no way. Knowing that your fresh-collecting boat here was not enough, we had to rush over."

"We could only slow down along the way, otherwise, it would have been two and a half days when we returned. It rained for one day later, otherwise, it might have arrived at the shore faster."

He nodded and comforted, "Safety first, it's right to be a little slower. It's good to come over smoothly. Has my father finished processing the boatload of goods transported back?"

"Hehe, Uncle Ye's eyes went straight at that time, and he muttered in his mouth: 'Ah? So many, what should I do? If I can't sell them, I have to kneel at people's doors and beg. This coffin son is all left for me...'"

Ye Yaodong had black lines all over his head. "And then, is it finished?"

"It was only finished before I left, after all, there was no place to store it. It is said that he begged everyone everywhere, and then the factory sales also ran their legs off, running through all the processing plants in the local area. He also asked your friends in the Chamber of Commerce to help introduce bosses and build bridges."

"Then you just left, and another boat arrived..."

"Uncle Ye heard people running over to say that the fresh-collecting boat was back, and there were more goods than on my boat. His legs went soft at that time, and he sat directly on the ground and shouted to the sky, it's killing me..."

"..."

"I think Uncle Ye might not be able to handle it..."

Ye Yaodong frowned. "I'm also not at ease going back like this..."

He was a little hesitant. It had only been ten days since he came out, and several boats had just become familiar with each other. It would take at least half a month for him to go back to handle things before he could come to the sea again.

"Then you take a look, I don't know what plans you have."

"I'll ponder and think about it."

"Before I left, your father also told me to tell you to return as soon as possible if you can get rid of it at sea. He can't hold on. With so many goods in a row, he can't handle it. He also said that either you come back first, or let the fishing boat return, and catch a little less in the near sea first, until you have cleared up the matters on the shore, and then find a few more people to be responsible, and he will just watch."

"I'll think about it."

This trip was originally intended to explore the road, get familiar with it, and see the situation, so that it could be arranged in a targeted manner later.

Without actually doing it, no one knows what the situation will be. Not to mention that the workers have no bottom in their hearts, even he has no bottom. They must adapt to local conditions, and only after doing it will they know where the problems are and how to solve them.

After Ye Yaodong understood the situation, he thought about whether to return early while watching everyone move the goods.

Going back is a simple matter, but he is afraid that the three boats will arrive in unfamiliar waters, and it is so far away. Without himself, the anchor of the sea, he will feel uneasy and have no bottom.

Let the boss of the No. 5 boat direct the moving of goods, and he patted Lao Xiao on the shoulder and called him aside.

"Cousin, what do you think if I go back directly?"

"What? What should I do if you leave?" Lao Xiao was shocked and widened his eyes, suddenly anxious. "You can't leave. If you leave, everyone will have no bottom in their hearts."

"My father might not be able to handle so many goods, and he sent a message asking me to go back as soon as possible, otherwise the goods won't be sold and can only be left to rot."

"I'm not here, you just do what you should do. If there is any situation like the past few days, just adapt to the situation and discuss how to solve it."

"Don't think too much, don't always feel that it is too far away. You treat this as a near sea, and if you encounter a situation, make your own decisions."

"I see that the rain has stopped today, and it should be clear tomorrow no matter what. There are stars in the sky at night."

Lao Xiao had a bitter face, wrinkled into a ball. "You clearly said a few days ago that after the boats run back and forth, we would return in the middle or late of the month."

"Isn't this that the plan can't keep up with the changes? If my father can't handle so many goods, isn't it useless for us to catch so many?"

"Do we really have to go back immediately?"

"What I'm thinking is whether to go back with this boat or the next fresh-collecting boat?"

"Fresh-collecting boat!"

Ye Yaodong knew that he didn't want him to leave the sea. If he left, there would be no one to sit in town, and he was afraid there would be no backbone.

Although he is young, he is the boss after all, and his staying on the boat has a different meaning to everyone.

After Lao Xiao finished speaking, he said, "Why don't you talk to the other boats first?"

Ye Yaodong's tightly pursed lips, his eyes looked blankly ahead, and his brain was thinking.

"Or return directly first, and deal with the accidents and situations that occurred this time. Some supporting facilities must also keep up. Then continue to fish in the near sea for another half a year, and wait until next spring when all preparations are complete, and then several boats will come over together."

He thought that only in this way could the benefits be maximized, instead of lacking people and boats. He had been fishing in the near sea for so long, and it wouldn't hurt to fish for another half a year.

Now that he has come out for a trip, he has also learned about the situation in this sea area in this day and age, and the approximate daily catch volume.

He already has countermeasures, and now he just has to wait for time to have people and boats.

And he really has many things to go back to deal with. It is better to return collectively and come out after everything is ready. Anyway, this trip is also to explore the road and get familiar with it.

Lao Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard him say this. "This is possible, this is better. Just go back directly and fish for another half a year, and come out after everything is ready, so as not to lack two boats for fishing and become a fresh-collecting boat."

"I'll think about it, it's not returning now."

"That's for sure. People have just been sent over, and this boat has just come over to transport goods, and the fishing net on this boat is gone. We have to wait until all our boats are full of goods and return with a full load, otherwise, the fuel cost for one trip will be a lot of money."

"Hmm, don't be happy too early, I'll ponder and plan first."

"Hey, you think about it carefully first."

"You watch here, I'll go up and ponder."

After Ye Yaodong finished explaining, he went up to the cockpit, opened the cabin door behind, took out the paper and pen from his rest cabin, and looked at the things he recorded in the notebook, circling and drawing.

While he was thinking, the pen in his hand couldn't help but spin.

After thinking about it, he still felt that it was better to take the three boats back directly. There was no need to wait until July when a typhoon would blow before returning.

Although the quantity is large, the supporting facilities and manpower cannot keep up. He has to worry about when the next boat will come every day. It is better to go back and solve the problem first, and then come over once and for all.

And his father also urgently wanted him to go back, and he was indeed not at ease.

Although he has only been out for more than 10 days this time, he has also gained a lot.

He circled the date and made up his mind.

However, it is not returning now. The fresh-collecting boat is on the way, and the No. 4 boat is estimated to be about to set off from the port.

You can let the No. 5 boat contact the No. 4 boat on the way back. If it has set off, just let him go to the near sea to find the Dongsheng boat and the others to fish.

Their return route is planned, and they may not necessarily bump into each other, but calling on the public channel every half hour will definitely be able to contact them.

And after their three boats wait for the fresh-collecting boat to come, they will collect a batch, and then return with a full boat.

He calculated that this is also the best plan.

No loss, catch a last bit and go back.

And for the goods of the two boats returning, if his father can't handle it, it will be in time for him to handle it after his goods are full and he returns.

After thinking clearly, he told Lao Xiao, and got Lao Xiao's support with both hands and feet, and then he had to contact other fishing boats.

Other fishing boats naturally had nothing to say. Not to mention that they all agreed, even if they didn't agree, they had to think that he was the boss.

And after Ye Yaodong discussed with several boats, he also explained to the No. 5 boat that after contacting the No. 4 boat on the road, he must stop them and stay in the near sea first.

The workers knew that they would be able to return with a full boat before long, and they were all very happy. It was originally expected that this trip would take more than two months, but they didn't expect that they would be able to return in less than a month now. Everyone was very happy, and even their spirits were much better.

After Ye Yaodong made the decision, he also felt relaxed and happy.

He will be able to go back to rest soon. Who is willing to stay at sea every day if they don't have to work?

Every bit of work he does now, and every bit of hardship he eats, is to ensure that the workers who work for him can have a meal and can always have a stable income!

After the No. 5 boat finished collecting the goods on his boat, it also collected the goods from other boats in turn, and the sky was bright after finishing.

Before returning, he also explained to the No. 5 boat, remembering to tell his father to let his father grit his teeth again and persist for a few days. If he really can't handle it, just leave it and wait for him to come back.

It was indeed clear today. After being rained on for several days, everyone saw the sun, and everyone was in a particularly good mood. Plus, knowing that they could go back early, everyone had a smile on their faces early in the morning.

Ye Yaodong teased, "You don't want to work that much and want to go back?"

"Aha? Where? Isn't this what you said?"

"We all listen to you, boss."

"Don't be happy too early, it's not that fast. It will take two days for the next fresh-collecting boat to come over, and then wait for our fishing boat to be full, it will take four or five days. You should be prepared to struggle for another week."

The smiles on everyone's faces collapsed a little.

They only thought about being able to go back after the boat was full, and didn't calculate the time. Damn it, isn't there still a week left?

Lao Xiao said, "It's only a week and we'll be back. How fast, otherwise it would have taken two months to return."

"Hehe, that's true. A week will pass quickly. Haven't we been out for more than 10 days?"

"It's mainly because most of this time has been raining, and it's heavy rain and storms, so it feels like this period is quite long. Now that it's clear, a day passes quickly."

"Come on, work hard, persist for a while, I'm going to sleep."

After staying up all night and just sending the No. 5 boat away, he was also sleepy.

The weather looks good today, and the waves are not that high, so he can sleep with peace of mind without worrying too much.

It rained for the first few nights, and he had to keep his spirits up every night. His daily sleep time might only be three or four hours.

Today, he decided to return in a week, and his spirit relaxed. Lying on the bed, he just touched the red coral for a while, and his eyelids fought. He could only put the coral by the pillow and go to sleep first.

The most expensive treasure in this trip is probably this red coral. This is an existence that can appreciate in value, and it can be taken out to admire openly.

And yesterday, when everyone was sorting, the small corals of various colors they saw were not thrown away, and they accumulated half a basket.

He let everyone pick and choose, and he would collect the rest himself.

He had already taken the big one, and he didn't care about the rest. There were quite a few at home, and he could accumulate more in the future.
