Chapter 839: Water Test and Money Distribution

Ye Fu only came back in the evening, with a face full of joy.

Ye Yaohua also had an excited look.

Just looking at the expressions of the two, they knew that the fishing boat water test today went very smoothly.

Ye Yaodong had nothing to do, so he took the children to play on the beach. Just when he returned to the courtyard gate, he saw his father and his second brother coming back.

Both of their mouths were split wide, and they each hung two aluminum buckets on the handlebars of their bicycles.

"Dad, Ye Erge, came back so late, it's almost dark. It went smoothly, right?"

"Smooth, smooth, too smooth."

The two hurriedly got off the bicycles, and then took the water buckets down and put them on the ground.

"These are the two nets of goods dragged when the boat went out for the water test today..."

Ye Erge's excited words were only half spoken when he was interrupted by Ye Fu.

"More than these, can't you speak?"

"Let me tell you, Dongzi, the place where this big boat goes is far. The farther sea area has more goods."

"Our boat went out for the water test and dragged a net casually, and it came up with two or three thousand jin. Too powerful, too many goods. A big bag of goods came up, and the mast was a bit bent..."

"There are really too many fish goods. Going to a farther sea area is strong. Fortunately, there are many of us, and the manpower is enough, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to sort the goods..."

"Just now, we sold the goods at the pier in the county town, and earned a sum of money. Everyone divided the money together. Your three shares were divided into fifty-five yuan..."

Ye Fu said while taking out the money and giving it to him.

Ye Erge also hurriedly said excitedly: "I also divided more than ten yuan. Just went to take a look at the water test, didn't expect to have money to divide. This big boat dragging net is too powerful..."

The two had excited looks of joy, and the more they said, the more excited they became.

Seeing them come back, Ye Er Sister-in-law also hurriedly came out. Knowing that just going to observe the water test could divide more than ten yuan, she was also overjoyed, and shouted directly at the door with a loud voice.

"Really? We only participated in one share, and can divide more than ten yuan? I heard Dad say in the room today, didn't you just drag two nets? Can you divide so much?"

She didn't hear it very clearly in the room, just heard the sound of talking intermittently. Knowing they were back, she hurriedly came out.

"Dragged more than 2000 jin in one net, and nearly 5000 jin in two nets. Although most of them are some miscellaneous goods, after sorting, throwing away the useless ones back into the sea, the remaining goods sold for more than 100 yuan."

"Really?" Ye Er Sister-in-law looked at the money handed to her, her eyes shining, "We only participated in one share, and can divide more than ten yuan. If we drag two more nets, wouldn't it be able to catch up with what our family earns in a day of dragging nets?"

Ye Erge nodded with a smile, "Right, if we go out at night, we can drag two more nets, or just drift at sea for a few days and drag nets continuously, we can earn more."

Ye Er Sister-in-law slapped her thigh fiercely after hearing this, "Aiyo, that's great, then we bet right! Just participating in one share can catch up with what our family earns in a day of dragging nets. If I had known, I would have been ruthless and participated in one more share, that would be even better."

Eldest Sister-in-law heard them talking lively in the room and also came out to take a look, but heard Ye Er Sister-in-law's words, and asked in surprise: "Participating in one share can catch up with what the family earns in a day of dragging nets? Really or fake?"

"Of course it's true. Look, this is the money divided from dragging two nets for the water test today. We only participated in one share, and divided 18 yuan 3. If we drag two more nets, wouldn't it be able to catch up with what the family earns in a day of dragging nets?"

"Aiyo, this is stable. Fortunately, I listened to Adong and followed him to participate. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to earn this money. This is really stable money coming in..."

Eldest Sister-in-law's smile suddenly became a bit forced, "How much can this earn, where can it be said accurately? Things at sea are all about luck. Like our family's dragging nets, we fish for three days and dry nets for two days, and we don't go many days in a month..."

"That big boat is different, much stronger than our family's boat. There are beds inside to sleep, and we can stay at sea for three or five days, five or seven days before coming back, and we can earn more. Staying at sea for a few more days can also save some fuel money for coming and going..."

Ye Yaohua said this, and Ye Yaodong remembered to ask.

"Is that boat fuel-consuming?"

Ye Fu was also regretting that the eldest didn't participate in one share, otherwise he would have money to divide. Looking at the situation of the water test today, if it were all so stable, the money invested would definitely not be lost.

It was also his fault for agreeing with the eldest's words at that time and thinking that 4 people dying was unlucky.

At that time, if he hadn't agreed with the eldest's words, it was estimated that the eldest wouldn't have refused so firmly.

He had been regretting for the eldest there. Hearing Dongzi ask about the fuel consumption, he spoke up.

"Fierce, that fuel consumption is definitely much fiercer than the family's, several times that of the family's. It consumes about 22 liters per hour. We set off at 8 in the morning, and just docked at 2 o'clock, 6 hours."

"Coming and going plus the two nets dragged during the operation at sea, a total of about 130 liters of fuel were consumed. Wu Changzhang bought 150 liters of oil in the morning, and when we docked, there was only a little left at the bottom, probably about 20 liters left."

Ye Yaodong calculated in his heart. Now the price of diesel is 6 mao 7 per liter, so this fuel consumption would be 80 yuan. How can they earn more than 180?

Ye Fu also saw his doubt and said: "Today is the water test to debug the machine, so the factory is responsible for the oil money. But because it's our boat, Wu Changzhang generously gave the goods to us."

"No wonder, I said the oil fee would be eighty yuan, how did you earn more than 180."

Eldest Sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It turned out that it wasn't really earning 180, but because the oil money was responsible by the factory today, so the oil money cost wasn't deducted. If the oil money was deducted, they only earned 100 yuan.

Thinking this way, she didn't feel so uncomfortable all of a sudden. Otherwise, missing so much money, she would be too uncomfortable to eat or sleep at night.

It's good that they didn't earn that much...

Watching others earn money while missing out oneself is more uncomfortable than losing money oneself.

"Ah, this is without deducting the oil money?" Ye Er Sister-in-law instantly felt that she wasn't so happy anymore.

Ye Yaodong reacted quickly, calculated roughly in his heart, and spoke directly.

"Didn't deduct the oil money, but you have to know, this is only dragging two nets, and the distance coming and going is far, which is relatively fuel-consuming. If you work at sea for a whole day, you can also save the fuel consumption of coming and going."

"The fuel consumption of coming and going, if used to drag two more nets, the net profit of the subsequent two nets will be more than 100."

"It's equivalent to our ordinary fishing boats going out at night and coming back in the evening. If we drag for a day, after deducting the oil money, we can earn more than 200 yuan. If we don't come back and continue to drag nets in shifts day and night at sea, we can drag two or three more nets a day and earn more."

"If Ye Erge participates in one share, as long as there is a trip to sea, dividing twenty or thirty a day is definitely no problem. The big boat has strong wind resistance, and can stay at sea for a few more days than our family's boat in a month. If there are many goods, it will be almost two or three months to earn back the cost."

He felt that even if the fuel consumption is fierce, the harvest is also large. Dragging two or three thousand jin in one net is 10 times that of their family's fishing boat. Compared with it, it is already very profitable.

Hiring five or six fixed crew members to work, the monthly wages are only three or four hundred yuan, and it is only more than ten yuan when allocated to each day.

Calculated by going to sea for half a month, the wages are 30 yuan a day, and the oil money is 320 yuan for 480 liters of oil a day. But if they work in shifts 24 hours a day at sea, dragging 6-7 nets is definitely no problem.

Calculated by dragging 6 nets, 10,000 jin of goods, selling for five or six hundred according to today's market price is stable.

Calculated, it can earn two or three hundred net profit a day. If there are many good goods, it can earn more.

This share, after deducting costs, dividing twenty or thirty a day is not a problem. If the weather is good, it will be almost two or three months to earn back the cost, and no need to wait for a year.

However, this also depends on the season and the weather. In winter, the harvest will definitely be less, and the time to earn back the cost will be longer.

Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, it will definitely earn back the cost this year, and can earn a sum. Investing in fishing boats is stronger than them believing in mouse clubs, or those folk fundraising clubs.

"The fuel money hasn't been deducted yet, but you have to know that we've only dragged two nets so far, and the long round-trip distance consumes more fuel. If we were working at sea for a full day, we could save on the fuel consumed for the trips back and forth."

"If the fuel used for the round trips were used to drag two more nets, the last two nets alone would add up to more than 100 in net profit."

"It's equivalent to our usual fishing boats going out at night and returning in the evening. If we drag for a day, after deducting fuel costs, we can earn about 200 yuan. If we don't return and continue to work in shifts day and night at sea, we can drag two or three more nets a day and earn even more."

"Ye Erge has invested a share. As long as we go out to sea, there's definitely no problem with him getting a share of twenty or thirty yuan a day. The large boat also has strong wind resistance, and it can stay at sea for a few more days a month than our boat at home. If there's a lot of cargo, we'll break even in about two or three months."

He felt that even though the fuel consumption was high, the harvest was also large. One net could drag two or three thousand jin, which was 10 times that of their home fishing boat. By comparison, it was already very profitable.

If they hired five or six permanent crew members to work, the monthly wages would only be three or four hundred yuan, which was only a dozen yuan when spread out over each day.

Calculating based on half a month at sea, the wages are 30 yuan a day, and the fuel consumption is 480 liters a day, which costs 320 yuan. But if they work in 24-hour shifts at sea, dragging 6-7 nets is definitely no problem.

Calculating based on a conservative 6 nets, that's over 10,000 jin of cargo. At today's market prices, selling it for five or six hundred is a sure thing.

Calculating it out, they can net two or three hundred a day. If there's a lot of high-quality cargo, they can earn even more.

After deducting costs, getting a share of twenty-something yuan a day is no problem. If the weather is good, they can break even in about two or three months, and they won't have to wait a year.

However, this also depends on the season and the weather. In winter, the harvest will definitely be less, and the time to break even will naturally be longer.

Anyway, no matter how you calculate it, they will definitely break even this year and make a profit. Investing in a fishing boat is much better than those rat clubs they believe in, or those private fundraising clubs.
