Chapter 993

After the middle-aged man was pulled away, the few were a bit awkward for a while.

A-Cheng explained, "What he said is the retail price for dried ones. People selling and receiving goods have to go through another hand. This thing is expensive, and it's not that easy to sell. Only big places have it, and it has to be transported, etc. Fresh acquisition doesn't have such a high price as he said."

Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "No rush. This thing is so expensive and valuable. After all these goods are weighed, let's discuss and talk about it carefully. After all, there are 8 of them, worth several thousand yuan. Let's talk in detail later."

Didn't expect this thing to be so valuable now. He quoted low just now, fortunately, they didn't agree.

Thirty yuan a tael for dried ones, made a fortune!

Even if the acquisition price isn't that high, at twenty yuan, one fish gill is much more expensive than one fish.

Sell for 280, my ass~

The faces of the few were a bit ugly, glaring at the middle-aged man who was still watching the fun with relish outside, full of hatred.

Originally there was a possibility of picking up a bargain, and there was hope to press the price down further. Now that there's trouble, let alone 280, 300 shouldn't be able to buy it.

One by one, their faces were ugly, but they were still thinking about struggling to the death.

A-Cheng smiled awkwardly. "Didn't you just say 280? We won't talk much, 280 for one, 1120 for 4, we'll take them all."

Too late. Just wanted to press the price, now he won't sell.

Originally he only planned to sell for 280, now he has to tearfully earn at least another hundred yuan.

He was still smiling. "No rush. Let's go batch by batch. Let's weigh all these goods first. You have enough manpower now, all helping to weigh goods. Many hands make light work. It will definitely be done before dark. After it's done, we can talk slowly, it's not too late."

They couldn't smile anymore.

Goods all over the ground, weighed one by one in an orderly manner. Even if their faces were ugly, they couldn't stop them from earning the money they could earn now.

Pei Fu was also smiling like a fox, extremely happy. Didn't expect there to be an even bigger surprise waiting here.

The fishermen watching at the wharf watched for a while and then dispersed one after another. Those who had sold their goods should go home.

By the time they were almost done weighing, the wharf was only half as lively as before. Now those who are still lingering are those who returned late.

The middle-aged man from just now came over happily again. "There are quite a lot of these goods. You can earn a lot by taking them all and reselling them..."

"It's a pity, why didn't you ask me just now? I am an honest person, never exploiting you fishermen. Earn as much as you should, never earn a cent more..."

"Go to hell, don't get in the way here, go watch your own stall."

"Don't be like that. Although peers are enemies, we have to help each other, right? If you receive so many goods at once and pay too much, I can help share one boat..."

"Get lost, I'll thank God if you don't get in the way here..."

Ye Yaodong looked at this person strangely. This person wasn't annoyed when driven away, still staying in place with a good temper to watch them weigh the goods, but this time he faced him again.

"Little brother, I just took a look at your boat. Both are quite new, right? Just bought? Good ability, your family bought two? That boat is not cheap, heard it's one or two ten thousand already."

"I see names carved on the boat, taken quite well. Where are you from? Next time you dock, you can find me next door. It's definitely as fair as their family..."

The other party seemed to be a chatterbox, muttering and standing beside him, not waiting for his response, just talking to himself. He had to face it with a smile, nodding from time to time.

The two people who had been entertaining him on the side kept giving him looks, but didn't stop him, looking quite wary.

"Okay, talk next time. Have to wait until catching good goods to dock. This round trip today delayed half a day or a day."

"That's how it is, so it's all earned by the fresh-receiving boat. Fresh-receiving boats can double their earnings after docking."

Ye Yaodong nodded with a smile, his eyes kept looking back and forth at the scale and bookkeeping.

"Is the price for the devil ray settled?"

"Let me tell you, don't sell for less than 280. Not talking about the fish, but the gills..."

"Go, go, go, go do your work. What are you making trouble here for? How much to sell is our business, what are you meddling for?"

Once devil rays were mentioned, A-Cheng and A-Shu were annoyed and started driving people away again.

"Ah, can't even let people talk? Can't share a piece of the pie, can't even ask? Let me tell you, the fish should be 0.6 yuan per jin, the fish gills 280, added together it should sell for 400 yuan..."

"Nonsense!"

"I don't know how much I'd have to pay out of pocket for 400, don't listen to his nonsense."

Ye Yaodong looked at them with a smile that wasn't a smile. "You are afraid of loss, otherwise I'll sell to him for 400, let him lose?"

The two were choked up. Those weighing goods and helping lift goods on the side couldn't care about weighing, stopped and cursed in local dialect. He couldn't understand anyway, so he just watched.

"Just a little bit of miscellaneous goods, weigh them first. After weighing and calculating the accounts, we'll talk about the devil rays. Anyway, I've sold so many goods to you, it's impossible to take a few fish out and sell them to others. If I sell, I'll definitely prioritize your family. If the price is suitable, then of course you are good, I am good, everyone is good."

Pei Fu also said in broken Mandarin: "Right, definitely sell to your family first. We are all practical people, of course we have to do practical things, can't fool people."

Ye Fu's Mandarin is worse than Pei Fu's, so he didn't plan to speak, just nodded along.

Their expressions were a bit reluctant.

"Hmm, it will be weighed soon."

Weighed for nearly an hour before all the goods were weighed. Ye Fu had people organize his family's baskets, while Ye Yaodong calculated the accounts with them.

A whole boat of goods, under the sound of a calculator, was calculated back and forth twice before it was concluded that it sold for 2855.37 yuan.

A little different from the estimate, but the original estimated price included a few devil rays, now it's excluded. In general, it's still a bit more than expected.

The rising price of devil rays is really an unexpected joy, completely can be said to be picked up for nothing.

However, it is impossible to greedily demand the price the middle-aged man said. He is also unsure if the middle-aged man is speaking high, deliberately trying to pit them against him.

Earlier he was shouting there that the fish would be a loss if not 280, later he was shouting there that the fish gills were twenty or thirty a tael. Don't know if he was shouting to leave himself a way out at the beginning, and now he's saying another way.

Or was he talking about fish gills at the beginning, not fish.

He was a bit confused, anyway he believed the higher price, it shouldn't be wrong.

However, the two people on the side who don't know if they are brothers, with unhappy faces, so many goods on the boat were sold at good prices, so they have to leave some face, calculate a little less, and give people a space to earn money.

Ye Yaodong just watched them calculating accounts there, and was also estimating in his heart how to quote the price later?

Anyway, now he can quote above three hundred, it's all his profit. Really, in a while, the value of this fish rose by a large margin.

"Yours is 2855.37 yuan, the boat next to you is about the same as yours, his red fish is a little less, but other goods are a little more, it's also 2821.21 yuan."

"Okay, okay, thank you."

"The goods have all been received. Let's talk about the fish. After talking, let's settle the accounts together."

"Okay, you see how much price is suitable. Everyone knows the price of this fish, it definitely won't be just what I said just now, let alone your quote just now. Everyone is earning hard-earned money, be practical, and be straightforward. This way it's easy to do business next time."

Pei Fu also echoed, "Right, we will basically fish in this area next, and often have to dock in the province. Let's build a good relationship, and next time we dock, we will lift the goods to your house."

The two looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a while. The older one on the side was shouting in local dialect, which sounded a bit incomprehensible, but A-Cheng helped translate.

"My father said, you just called 280 yourself..."

"At that time I didn't know this fish would be so much more expensive than I expected. You didn't agree at that time. If you agreed in one bite, then it would be a direct deal, and nothing would happen. Okay, now that I know this fish is not just the price I expected, then of course, it has to continue to increase."

"Then we definitely can't sell at a loss. You are also cunning and insincere, because we don't know the goods, deliberately pressing the price so hard?"

Ye Fu's Mandarin mixed with their local dialect, speaking extremely awkwardly, don't know if they understood.

They talked to themselves there, and as they talked, they pointed at the outside and cursed angrily.

Then after a minute or two, A-Shu said: "To tell you the truth, four hundred is absolutely impossible. Those mobula gills are dried. If you buy them outside, they are twenty or thirty yuan a tael, but how can you have this price when you take them outside fresh? Don't the buyers need to earn a hand? After two more hands and then dried and sold, the final retail is twenty or thirty yuan a tael."

Makes sense.

If it makes sense, he still believes it.

Ye Yaodong nodded. "That's the truth. So how much are you prepared to quote now? The fish itself is 0.6 yuan per jin, that's correct. For these two hundred jin, it's definitely above one hundred and twenty, then add its fish gills, you just say how much is the highest."

"If it's suitable, we'll settle it directly, don't talk and hurt feelings. After all, we have to do business a second time. Our two boats of goods, docking every few days is not small, definitely tens of thousands of jin."

"You give a good price, treat it as building a good relationship, earn a little less, it's impossible not to earn money, I know this too."

The old man on the side held up three fingers and shouted: "Three hundred yuan, at most!"

Before 280 wouldn't agree, okay, now slapped in the face, they still have to take the initiative to quote three hundred, it really is the feng shui turning.

Ye Yaodong didn't speak, directly looked at A-Shu, putting pressure on him.

It can be seen that this person is the one who can make the decision. The older generation shouts, but in the end, they still have to listen to the young people, let the young generation make the decision.

"My father said three hundred, I am also very sincere, directly straightforward, not three hundred, just 320, don't listen to others, don't say more, just this price. This is already giving you an extra 40 on top of the 280 you originally quoted. I'm losing a lot, my intestines are green with regret, and I'm hurting so much I want to hit someone."

Ye Yaodong looked at his father, then at Uncle Pei.

They also communicated in local dialect.

"Let him add another ten or twenty yuan, thirty yuan, three hundred and fifty is also okay, right?" Ye Fu said greedily.

Pei Fu said: "I think it's about the same, don't make people anxious. The money for the goods we just sold is still in their hands, waiting to take the money together. In case because of this difference of tens of yuan, people are annoyed, it's not good for us, after all, we are not local."

Ye Yaodong felt Pei Fu's words made too much sense.

Can't lose big because of small things.

320 is already double what they expected at the beginning. If they didn't dock, the fresh-receiving boat wouldn't be so kind to tell you the value of the goods, just receive it at the normal fish price, and there would only be dozens of yuan, then the gap would be even bigger.

People must know how to be content.

Moreover, the old man was shouting three hundred yuan there, but he said to add another twenty, showing sincerity. If he was aggressive and let them add price, it would seem a bit greedy, and it would be easy to offend people.

How to be sensible, people take a step back, he simply takes a step back, the sea and sky are vast.

Originally when he was calculating accounts just now, he was thinking of quoting three hundred and fifty to try.

"Then listen to Uncle Pei, 320 is also very okay. I just quoted 280 randomly, and added another 40 yuan. People are already unhappy enough, if we force them to add price, we will be beaten out later."

"Right, that's about it. This is already double what we thought at the beginning, so that's it, don't argue. It's dark, hurry up and settle the accounts, take the money and return to the boat immediately, it's time to cook dinner."

Ye Fu thought about it and felt it made sense. The goods were all poured to them, and the money wasn't settled. A large sum of money was still in their hands. Arguing about the price with them, in case of unpleasantness, he would be the one to suffer.

When they were whispering and discussing there, the other party was also frowning and looking at them.

Ye Yaodong turned his head and smiled at them: "Okay, you said 320, then 320. Full sincerity, I also felt it. I am not a greedy person. It's dark, we also want to clear the goods before dark, return to the boat and continue fishing."

Their faces also relaxed. It's good to accept, otherwise they were also worried that he wouldn't be satisfied with this price and would have to add price, then it would be difficult to handle.

Harmony brings wealth, they were also afraid of stiffening.

The fishermen now are not so easy to provoke. Every one of these large boats has firearms.

If it wasn't exposed at the beginning, and could pick up a bargain when he didn't know the goods, that's understandable. After all, you don't know the value yourself, and you quoted the price yourself. It's fine after the transaction. It's too late to regret it later.

Can't negotiate the price, cause conflict, it's no good for anyone to cause trouble, so since people are full of sincerity, he has to accept it.

"Four devil rays, that's 1280... eh? This number is also auspicious and sounds good!"

"Right, 1280 is familiar, auspicious and sounds good."

After speaking, he added the devil rays and price to the cargo list.

"1280+2855.37 yuan..."

"No need to calculate the cents this time, let's just count it as a whole number. You are straightforward, I am straightforward, no need to be stingy."

"Okay, that's easy to say, then yours is 4135, the one next to it is 2821+1280, total is 4101 yuan, your two goods are not much different."

After he finished speaking, the old man on the side also started muttering and complaining: "If I knew earlier when he said 280, we would have agreed directly, saving us from spending more money now. One fish spent forty yuan more, eight fish spent three hundred and twenty more, holy crap..."

The old man cursed for a while, and cursed the middle-aged uncle from just now again.

"Okay, settled is settled, don't talk about before. We were also very greedy before, thinking people didn't know the goods, wanting to earn more, but ended up stealing a chicken and losing the rice."

"Now hurry up and contact the truck, see if one truck can take it away. If not, can only add a tractor."

"A-Cheng, count the payment and settle it for them."

A-Cheng reached into his backpack unhappily, emptied it all, and it wasn't enough to settle. Had to let others contribute the money on their bodies, then concentrated the money in the bag to settle the accounts for their two families.

They all carried a bag in front of them, and after receiving the goods, they immediately settled the accounts and let people leave.

Ye Yaodong took a large handful of big unity, counted twice with his father in turns, and only after there was no problem did he lift his clothes and put them into the satchel inside his clothes.

"Thank you, happy cooperation. If there are goods next time, I will come to ask you again. Remember to give a fair price."

"Okay, okay, easy to say, easy to say."

"No, Brother A-Shu, he still has a mobula gill drying on the boat. Are we receiving it too? Anyway, it's already dried." A-Cheng suddenly thought of the one he hung on the boat and hurriedly spoke.

Ye Fu also hurriedly echoed: "Right, I just wanted to tell you this. By the way, sell the one on the boat, the one you hung up to dry earlier. Earn a little is a little. Anyway, we don't know how to eat that thing when we take it home."

"Oh, busy counting money, forgot to take the one on the boat to negotiate the price."

A-Shu also said: "Are you selling the one on your boat?"

"How much do you plan to offer?"

"180!"

"200! I'm almost done drying, at most two days, you can sell it, don't need to spend any effort, just go through one hand and earn dozens of yuan, made a fortune."

"Where can you earn dozens of yuan as you said? If it's 180, you can say you can earn dozens of yuan."

"Is it okay? If it's okay, just one word, take the money directly, and then go to the boat with me to get the half-dried mobula gills."

"Okay, okay, count another two hundred yuan for him, I'll go to the boat with him to get the fish gills."

Ye Yaodong entered another 200, and then he happily led everyone out and walked toward the boat.

After Ye Fu finished organizing the fish baskets, he left one person on the boat to watch, and others followed them to support the scene in front of the stall. He was also afraid of being bullied.

At this time, no one was watching outside, and the sky was already dark, with only a little light left. Everyone returned to their homes and found their mothers.

From dawn to dark, it was just a while on the boat.

Ye Yaodong turned on the flashlight and handed the half-dried mobula gills hanging there to A-Cheng for inspection. After no problem, the other party took it off the boat.

He also said a few polite words, finished it properly, and then returned to the boat, telling his father to sail quickly.

From leaving the stall, taking the money, they and Pei Fu simply and neatly boarded their own boats, without communication, and immediately sailed the boat away from the shore, with a posture of running away.

Everyone knew it, afraid that the large sum of money in their pockets would be left behind, then it would be over.

After sailing away from the shore and driving for a distance, Ye Yaodong and Ye Fu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yaodong also stood on the deck, looking at the shore, holding his heart. After putting his heart back in his stomach, he went to the cabin to lock the money in the iron box under his bed, and then went to the cockpit to talk to his father.

"Holding so much money in hand is also exciting enough."

"Fortunately, no one chased after. I was worried that the middle-aged man who made trouble earlier would have crooked thoughts. Fortunately, no."

"This shows that they are doing serious business. You can continue to send it over if you have goods in the future."

"Is the money locked? You have to lock it and watch it closely."

Ye Yaodong was full of smiles. "Don't worry, you can rest assured when I do things. Money is my lifeblood, there will be no mistakes."

After Ye Fu felt relieved, he was also extremely happy.

"Our trip is really too lucky, earned over four thousand three hundred in just one day and night..."

"Counting it, it's more than one day and night. After the fishing boat sailed out to cast the net, it's almost two days and two nights. Today delayed one day without fishing, it's also a loss, but our few devil rays earned a lot, enough to make up for it."

"Right, right, right, didn't expect the most valuable thing about this thing is the fish gills. Who could have thought of this? In the past, other fish gills were thrown to dogs, and dogs wouldn't eat them, but they could sell for so much. It really opened my eyes. Don't know who is eating these fish gills, how to eat this thing."

"You don't care how to eat it, anyway you can't eat it, and can't swallow it."

"That's of course, kill me, I can't swallow such expensive things, the Thunder God will ring."

Ye Yaodong was happier the more he thought about it. "Cool to death, it's really an accident. I thought I could only sell a little more money, sell for over a hundred yuan, didn't expect four to sell for 1280 yuan, tsk tsk tsk, deeper sea areas have more good goods, catching a little good goods is worth a year of trawling for ordinary families at home."

"Isn't it? Do you want to change all the seven boats you ordered into such big boats? Cost-effective, earn money fast..."

"No need to change. Those seven boats are set there. If you want to order big boats, you can order more. Anyway, just pay a deposit. But this can be left for later. We can't sail so many. If we hire people to do it, we won't be at ease if we are not on the boat."

He wants to keep those seven boats to occupy the delivery period, can't cancel. If canceled, what to do about fishing for jellyfish this year and next year?

One by one, they swarmed up, couldn't fish for a few days, might have to return home.

And he is now occupying the delivery period, occupying the quota, one by one can't buy boats, and the boats that go can be slightly less, one boat less is one boat.

By then, he will ask the master to build a batch of manual small wooden boats, directly use this Dongsheng to pull them over, and take a boat of people, quack fishing, hum hum hum~

Furthermore, he is still very loose on hand now, still has 40,000 yuan, fish dried haven't been hoarded yet, hoard while selling, estimated not to use the old capital.

After a few days, he earns enough money at sea, goes back to supplement a wave, enough for A-Qing's expenses for drying fish for a period of time, and there will be surplus, their family's small treasury will be fuller and fuller.

Ordering another big boat is not a thing for him. The worry is the person who sails the boat. His father is old, at most help his eldest brother and second brother sail for a few years and then have to retire at home to support the old.

Probably should still be able to exert the residual heat, watch a gate for him.

This should be what he likes, can chat and blow water, can pretend to be forced.

Ordering another new boat to give to others to sail, learning the model of the boats at home, it's not impossible, but going to sea is a few days, people don't keep accounts of the goods sold, you have no way.

Fengshou is because of the partnership of several shares, there is Chen Qishui he stuffed in, Uncle Zheng also called one, there are people sent out to supervise, so everyone is at ease.

Where does he still have people to send out to supervise fishing boats? The few boys in the workshop, now working three shifts a day, he is still worried that there are not enough people.

Chen Shi, he has to stay on the boat to help him, because in two years his father has to go to help his eldest brother and second brother sail, he also has to have his own person on the boat to be a helper.

The few his father called are not bad, but people just simply do work, Chen Shi this boy is dead-set on following him, he still believes more.

So the matter of buying a boat is not urgent, still first master Dongsheng well, let his father rest assured.

As for himself, first accumulate more, that fish sauce hasn't been sold out yet, supplement once every half a month, don't know when to sell, not yet truly on the right track.

Truly on the right track, it must be like dried fish, long-term stable sales, don't need him to worry, it can operate by itself.

Now is the first batch just fermented, hasn't been sold out, have to wait for a period of time, stable sales, and the second batch fermented also starts to sell and connect, then he can rest assured.

Ye Fu heard him say to order another big boat, hurriedly shook his head immediately.

"Don't, this boat just arrived. You haven't sailed for a few days, you also mixed one-third on your eldest brother and second brother's side, I still have to sail for you, come another same one, where can I be busy, now it's very good."

After he finished speaking, he was not at ease, and said solemnly again.

"Don't toss! Now it's okay, very okay, my old bones help you do some work is nothing, it's just that every time you do something, you do a big one, and the bigger you do, my heart is lifted there."

"Lift what heart, this is scenery, know not? The more you toss, the more scenery you are."

Ye Fu glanced at him and said unhappily: "You think I am your mother?"

"Isn't it about the same, half a catty and eight taels, see you usually don't be less proud than her."
