Chapter 1588

After Ye Yaodong finished all the docking procedures, he sat there waiting for his father to come over.

Cargo couldn't be unloaded at this moment, so the workers had nothing to do for a while and could only wait there, slumped on the deck chatting.

On the other side, Ye's father hadn't finished being surprised when he saw Ah Guang return, and heard him say breathlessly: "... Dad, Dongzi's boat is back."

Ye's father opened his eyes wide, and then a look of joy burst out on his face, "Dongzi is back too? Just arrived? This coffin-child has finally returned..."

"He told me to come back and notify you as soon as they docked. I'm going to have a cup of tea, you wait for me..."

"Got it."

As he spoke, he hurried toward the outside with quick steps. However, he hadn't even reached the gate before he turned back and ran toward the tractor, forgetting he could drive the tractor and almost having to run on two legs, muttering to himself the whole time.

"Finally back... waited until my hair turned white before he came back..."

"Looking forward to it day and night, looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally looked forward to his return..."

After Ye's father started the tractor, he hurried toward the outside.

Ah Guang had just run to the canteen to drink a cup of tea and come out, but his father-in-law was nowhere to be seen; he looked toward the gate.

"Didn't he just tell me to wait for him? Why did he run so fast?"

Old Pei said, "Just as well, you can sit down and rest, no need to go. Anyway, he's back, they can solve the remaining things themselves, why are you following them?"

"Follow to take a look, listen to it. Dad, you don't know how much cargo Dongzi can haul up in one net..."

Anyway, Ye's father had already run off without waiting for him, so he just sat down here to rest and wait, and by the way, chatted with his father about the situation in the deep sea these past few days.

Ye's father drove the tractor "da-da-da" straight to the dock, having long forgotten that he hadn't brought Ah Guang along.

He felt that the hair he had lost recently was more than what he had lost in the past ten years.

The hairline on his forehead had moved up, and his temples were even whiter from worry.

As soon as he arrived at the dock, he went straight to the deep-water port's docking point, stretching his neck to look around as he ran.

Ye Yaodong stood at the bow of the boat, stood on tiptoe to look at the shore, and just happened to see his father's stretched neck, so he waved at his father.

Ye's father ran toward him with joy, but as soon as he got on the boat, his face changed immediately.

"You bastard, you still know how to come back? My hair has turned white from worry, and you were carefree at sea, while I was worried at home every day, unable to eat or sleep."

"Every day when I open my eyes, I'm terrified about where the cargo is going to be sold! And which family hasn't run yet, every day Baoxing and I grab our hair and calculate, and which family can we beg to take a little more."

"For the sake of that cargo, I was so anxious every day that blisters appeared on my mouth, and they wouldn't go away."

"In just these 20 days, both of us lost several jin, that was really a pile of cargo, and before we finished selling it, the next boat came back..."

"The collection boat on your side just came back, and the collection boat at home came back right after..."

As soon as Ye's father saw him, he had a stinking face and accused him, his face pulled long as if he owed him a million.

"Is the cargo sold out?"

"A portion is left, we asked the women in the nearby village to kill and dry it for several days. Mainly because your fishing boats were in a hurry to return to the sea to pick up cargo, and we don't have cold storage, and the weather is hot now."

"I brought back three more boatloads of cargo now..."

Before Ye Yaodong finished speaking, his father took two steps back and hurriedly waved his hand, but the fishing boat swayed, and he didn't stand firm, falling straight to the ground.

"Damn, is it that bad? You were scared enough to fall to the ground?"

"Are you crazy, what are you talking about? The fishing boat just swayed and I didn't stand firm."

Ye's father used his hands and feet to stand up quickly, holding onto the ship's side, and continued: "Since you're back, you handle these boatloads of cargo yourself, I can't do it, I can't handle it, I'm worried to death, I want to take a break. You handle the cargo you transported back yourself."

He hurriedly cleared his relationship, afraid that Dongzi would ask him to handle it again.

"You're not going back to the deep sea this time, are you? Let me tell you, you haven't solved the sales channel for this cargo, you can't go! You transport it back every day, and I have to worry about not knowing how to sell it, the previous boatload of cargo hasn't been sold yet..."

"Got it, got it, nagging, I have a plan in my heart, I will definitely arrange everything before going to the deep sea again."

Ye Yaodong's brow furrowed; his father was muttering a bunch of things, and it was annoying to listen to. He hadn't even spoken yet, and his father had already said a whole basketful.

"You always have a plan, and then you throw everything to me, and you disappear without a trace, putting all the pressure on me. Look at these dark circles under my eyes; since you left, I haven't had a good night's sleep, I don't even sleep for three hours a day, it would be better if I went to sea and you stayed here..."

"Oh, stop nagging, hurry up and tell me about the cargo sales during this period, everyone is waiting to unload, I have to calculate how much to unload. Why didn't Baoxing come with you?"

Only after understanding could he arrange how much cargo to unload today, how much to send out, and the rest could be put aside for a while.

"He's at the processing plant, he's busier than me now, he has to do everything I can't do. I'll call him over in a moment to see the list of how much cargo needs to be sent today, but you have too much cargo on these three boats."

Ye Yaodong pointed at someone at random and asked him to go to the processing plant to call Chen Baoxing over.

"I've already sent someone to call him, you tell me about the cargo shipment situation recently."

"Alright..."

Ah Zheng chimed in, "Dongzi, there's nothing for us to do, so we'll go back to take a bath and sleep first."

"Good, you guys go rest first, this trip was hard work too."

"What hard work, this trip to sea can be considered an eye-opener."

Xiao Xiao said: "Alright, we're leaving first, you talk to your father."

Ye Yaodong nodded and walked to the corner with his father, leaning against the ship's side, taking advantage of the time waiting for Chen Baoxing to come over to talk slowly and understand the situation.

However, no matter how much Ye's father said, it wasn't as clear as going to the processing plant to check with the finance department himself.

After Chen Baoxing came over, he first had the workers unload the cargo that needed to be sent today and had his father arrange for it to be sent.

He also arranged for people to take turns keeping an eye on the boat, and the workers on the boat could all go back to rest first.

But he himself couldn't spare the time to rest; unloading in the afternoon was only a part, and the cargo of the remaining two boats had to be arranged to be sent out as soon as possible.

The sales staff recruited by the processing plant last month had also come in handy.

During the time he was away, Ye's father didn't know how to sell cargo, so he relied on these sales staff to run to various factories to ship cargo, and his father only sent cargo and collected money.

But since it was his own son's cargo, Ye's father was helpless and could only rely on others, and he was worried that it wouldn't be sold, so naturally, he was anxious enough to get blisters on his mouth.

Ye Yaodong saw the last truck of cargo being arranged to be sent, so he took Chen Baoxing and rode a motorcycle to the processing plant first.

His father wasn't good at selling cargo, but sending cargo and collecting money was no problem.

"Dongge, are you sure you don't want to go back to take a bath and rest first?"

"It's fine, I just woke up before docking, let's go to the factory to take a look first, there are still two boatloads of cargo that need to be arranged as soon as possible. When will the cargo of the two collection boats at home dock?"

Chen Baoxing wrinkled his face, "The two boats take turns going to sea, and they dock every afternoon. The cargo sent just now was occupying part of the small collection boat's orders in advance."

"Hmm, wait for me to go back and make a phone call to see if I can handle a boatload of cargo."

Chen Baoxing's eyes lit up, "Can handle a boatload of cargo?"

"Try it."

"Awesome, Dongge, you're still the best, you can solve any problem as soon as you come back, it has to be you, this factory can't do without you."

"Of course this factory can't do without me, this factory is mine, could this factory exist without me?"

"Hehe, then let's drive faster, let's handle this boatload of cargo as soon as possible."

It wasn't convenient for Ye Yaodong to talk while riding a motorcycle, and he couldn't hear clearly, so he just stepped on the gas as a response.

After arriving at the processing plant and parking the car, he asked: "How did the land application to the government that I asked Manager Qi to make before I left go?"

"It was approved, but they only lease it to us, not sell it, saying that we took advantage of the imperfect laws when we bought it, and now they don't allow selling, only leasing."

"Then how big a place did we lease? What's the rent? How many years can we lease it for?"

"They said we can lease it for up to 70 years, and we have to negotiate the rent with the government ourselves. Manager Qi couldn't make up his mind and didn't dare to set it blindly, he had to wait for you to come back to make the decision?"

"Then we definitely lease it for the maximum of 70 years, lease as big an area as we can, it's best to lease all the vacant land nearby."

"You talk to Manager Qi later, we still have to negotiate the price, I don't know about this, I'm currently responsible for connecting the factory with buyers and customers."

"Hmm, clear division of labor is good," Ye Yaodong asked again, "Did Ah Yuan call during the time I was away?"

"Yes, he called several times, all asking if you were back? He wanted to discuss the demobilized soldiers with you, but we couldn't make the decision, it all had to wait for you to come back to handle it. Fortunately, you only went for 20 days and came back, otherwise, if it dragged on, we wouldn't know what to do, he called every few days."

He pinched the bridge of his nose; he hadn't been gone for long, and a bunch of things were waiting for him to make a decision.

Just as the two were heading to the office, Manager Qi and Supervisor Yan ran over quickly.

"My ancestor, boss, you've finally returned, I knew it when I heard the tractor sound..."

"My god, finally looked forward to the boss's return, a bunch of things are waiting for you to make a decision."

Ye Yaodong nodded at them, "Go to the office and sit down to talk, one by one."

It was fortunate that he had taken a nap on the boat before docking, otherwise he would have the energy to talk to them now, otherwise he wouldn't have the energy to deal with the three of them.

Talking about a bunch of things, there really was a bunch, not to mention the small things, the big things were the land application and the demobilized soldiers, as well as personnel arrangements.

It was already three hours later by the time they finished their report and he finished making decisions one by one.

"Dongge... you said to handle those two boatloads of cargo..."

"I know, you guys go do your work first, I'll make a few phone calls to see."

Ye Yaodong planned to call Hong Wenle to see, because the fish cannery might not need much of his cargo due to the variety, and it had its own fixed supply line, but it could still consume some of the cargo.

By the way, he would ask Hong Wenle to help him ask if there were any acquaintances' factories that needed cargo, whether it was for these few days or long-term, he could deliver the cargo to their door.

Anyway, his boats were ready-made, and it would only take two days to sail back.

After finishing the call with Hong Wenle, he called Ah Cai.

Ah Cai had been in the city for the past few years, and because he took over the connections he had previously established, he was also doing quite well.

With one phone call, Ah Cai loyally guaranteed with a pat on his chest that he would definitely do his best to sell as much of his cargo as possible, telling him to wait for news and call him as soon as the quantity was determined.

Ye Yaodong felt very comforted; this difficult problem had already been solved more than halfway.

If he could build a sales line this time, everything would be easy to talk about later.

For the last phone call, he thought about it and didn't make it.

He had originally planned to call Ye Yaohai, but now he was a bit hesitant; they hadn't been in touch for a few years, and now that he called to ask for help finding sales channels, he felt it was a bit too utilitarian.

Better to give it up first, wait a bit, wait for Ah Cai's definite news first.

If he could help him solve more cargo, then there would be no need to call Ye Yaohai; if it really didn't work, he would make this call again.

He would take a rest tonight, and tomorrow he could go find those bosses in the Chamber of Commerce to keep in touch, and it shouldn't be a problem to sell more cargo.

He wasn't there, and the relationships he maintained, the weight of his words was naturally different from others.

Ye Yaodong finished making the phone calls, and the sun was almost setting. He stretched, twisted his sore neck, and only then slumped back into the chair.

If Hong Wenle and Ah Cai could successfully help him sell more cargo, he could sail back to deliver the cargo tomorrow, and by the way, build a fixed route.

He could also go home, stay for a few days, and then come up again.

Just returned from the deep sea, the workers were resting, and he naturally had to rest too, finishing handling all the things.

He hadn't been on shore for such a long time, and the operation here was still normal, only some big things needed him to make a decision, and they were still hanging there.

If he were at home, he could also answer the phone, and it would be the same to consult and solve it for him.

However, before that, he had to meet with Lin Guangyuan, not just about the demobilized soldiers, but also the fragment fished up in the sea, and the frilled shark had to be handed over to Lin Guangyuan to report to his superiors.

He stretched and continued to call Lin Guangyuan; the number he called was given by Manager Qi, saying it was left by Lin Guangyuan, telling him to call this number when he returned.

He felt that Lin Guangyuan was also doing better and better, and he could even leave him a phone number; usually he could only write letters, and then wait for Lin Guangyuan to call him before he could contact him.

It was different now, he could even leave him a phone number?

However, it definitely wasn't the contact method on the warship; the one on the warship was a classified phone, this should be the contact office at the land station.

Sure enough, as soon as the phone was connected, the other party only asked him to leave a message and pass it on.

He was mentally prepared, so he went to eat after leaving a message.

He didn't know when there would be a response, maybe a few days, maybe 10 days or half a month; if they went to sea with the warship, there would be a wait.

And he had been busy from morning docking until now in the afternoon, and had long been tired, hungry, and sleepy.

During this half day, he had also arranged what should be arranged, and the rest was just waiting for the phone call and notice; this couldn't be rushed, so he had to be patient.

He didn't go back to the base camp either; the canteen here at the processing plant was already open, so he simply ate here, and after eating, he took a casual shower and took his luggage to sleep in the dormitory here.

When eating, he kept yawning, wishing he could lie down on the spot, and his eyes were full of tears because of yawning.

Especially since the things that needed to be solved were solved, or he was waiting for news, his spirit relaxed, and he felt even more tired; he now needed a sound, deep sleep.

During these 20-plus days at sea, he hadn't had a good night's sleep, his daily sleep time was less than 5 hours, and most of the time he was half-asleep and half-awake, his heart was on edge, and the pressure was great; only after returning did he relax his whole body.

After returning to the dormitory building, he didn't even need a quilt; as soon as he lay down, a huge snoring sound started, and he just threw his luggage into the corner without even unpacking it.

His brain was already mush, and he didn't remember that his red coral was inside, just threw a bag of things away.

After sleeping until the sun was high the next day, everyone was looking for him, and only after finding the dormitory did he wake up.

He was so tired and sleepy last night that he didn't even lock the door before lying down. At this moment, Ye's father had just shouted "Dongzi" a few times before opening the door and coming in.

"Dongzi, you slept here without making a sound, making me look for people everywhere."

"Huh?" Ye Yaodong yawned and stretched, "What for, early in the morning..."

"It's almost 11 o'clock, and you call it early in the morning? Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry to find you? Isn't it to ask you, yesterday you said the cargo on the boat would be handled by you, what's the solution? I went to the dock early this morning to take a look, and the cargo on the remaining two boats hasn't moved at all. I thought you went out early to contact someone, I didn't expect you to be sleeping here, not in a hurry at all."

"It's almost 11 o'clock? Too tired, after eating last night, took a shower, came over and fell asleep as soon as I lay down. Was there a phone call for me this morning? I've already made the phone call, just wait for the phone call."

"I don't know about that, you have to go down and ask them."

"Hmm."

He stretched again, suddenly remembered his bundle, and hurriedly opened it.

"What are you doing?" Ye's father saw him suddenly rushing toward a bag of luggage and asked.

Dirty clothes were thrown out one by one by Ye Yaodong, and only then did he see the tightly wrapped red coral; the corners on it hadn't broken again, and only then did he feel relieved; it wasn't in vain that he wrapped it in dirty clothes in three layers inside and three layers outside.

Ye's father's eyes widened as soon as he saw the coral.

"Ah, such a big coral, where did it come from? Fished up from the sea on this trip?"

"Right."

"Wow, such a big one, it's worth a lot of money, this bright red one, it must be able to sell for over a thousand yuan. I heard that some bosses like to buy this to take back as an ornament, let me see."

"Be careful." Ye Yaodong handed it to his father.

Ye's father took it outside and put it under the sun to shine it around, "When can we go sell it? Let me know how much it sells for."

"Not selling, others are bosses, I'm a boss too, I'll also put it on display."

"You have money, you're willful, you just put something worth a few thousand yuan there to look at?"

"Why did you come to find me in such a hurry early in the morning?"

"Anxious about those two boatloads of cargo, the collection boat that returned yesterday evening, the cargo was solved today, the collection boat in the afternoon should also have a place to go, it's just your two boats..."

"Just wait for news, no need for you to worry."

?? Catching a cold and coughing, slept dizzily and intermittently all day, will resume normal updates from now on.
