After staying at home for two days, it was cold and windy for two days. On the morning of the third day, Ye Yaodong was warmed by the sun as soon as he came out.

The winter sun was particularly comfortable. When the father and son saw that there was no wind, they immediately decided to go to sea. Since the supplies were readily available, it was no problem to call someone up and add fuel and ice at the last minute.

In a hurry, the people on the Dongsheng and the Harvest had just finished breakfast and went out to sea to fish together again.

This trip to sea was already on the 2nd. Ye Yaodong originally agreed with Fang Jingfu to deliver the goods on the 5th, but he thought it would be a day or two later. The harvest at sea has been pretty good these days, and it is rare for the sun to shine all the time, and the wind and waves are not bad.

Small.

The cold weather in winter is cold, and cold winds often blow, which also affects the wind and waves on the sea. As a result, there are few days to go to sea in winter. Now that the weather is rare, he also wants to fish for a few more days.

When it was the 6th, he told Father Pei that he had to return first to collect goods.

The money he has on hand is only about 2,000 yuan from selling goods in the past few days, but he is not afraid.

Not to mention that the store's normal sales can have a turnover of 6,000 to 7,000 yuan in less than a month. The 5,000 lighters given in the previous batch can also be sold for 50,000 yuan.

Although he settled the accounts intermittently last month when he passed through the city and took them home, according to what his father-in-law said on the phone before, he has slowly cleared the goods over the past week or so, and the turnover should be about the same.

Having 20,000 yuan is almost enough for him to pay the final payment.

The last time he owed 7,500 yuan, he still had to pay 15,000 yuan this time. In total, he had to pay 22,500 yuan.

He didn't pay any deposit, just a phone call.

Fang Jingfu was also upright and didn't say anything.

When he went to sea, he had already planned to pass through the city, collect the money from the shop, and then go directly to Zhejiang Province.

However, just in case, because the store did not have enough money due to the settlement of construction site material costs, he borrowed the cash from his boat from Pei's father when he returned, and agreed to pay it back when he returned.

Father Pei was happy that he didn't have cash on hand. He didn't have to worry about having too much money on hand. He could take advantage of the good weather and fish for a few more days, so he happily borrowed it.

He also moved all the goods on the ship to the Dongsheng and told him to sell them when he went to the city. This also saved the Harvest a trip and saved some gas money.

Ye Yaodong sold the goods and calculated the money from the store. He still had more money on hand and could make a little over twenty-five thousand.

Because it was one day later than the agreed date, he made a special call to Fang Jingfu when he was in the city and agreed to arrive before the evening of the 7th.

Then we hurriedly drove the boat from the city to Zhejiang Province. This trip took a long time.

Fortunately, the weather has been good and smooth sailing in the past few days. He set off on the afternoon of the 6th and arrived on the afternoon of the 7th.

He didn't stay long and settled the arrears along with the payment for this batch of goods. He gave all the remaining money to Fang Jingfu and ordered a batch of 10,000 pieces.

This time he had a better memory and had to order in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to distribute the order by then.

During the rest night, he also chatted a lot with Fang Jingfu.

Fang Jinfu said that we should take advantage of the current emptiness in the market. Many people are still starting out and setting up small workshops, just following the trend. They should take the lead in expanding development before others become big.

Do something bigger than everyone else in advance and occupy the market first. As long as they are large enough and look formal enough, more people will naturally come to your door.

Big factories and small workshops, of course the big factories are more convincing.

If he doesn't come now, Fang Jingfu will call him in a few days to discuss and ask for his opinion.

Of course he had no objection. He didn't understand anything about market expansion. Of course, it was left to people who knew. All he had to do was give money and he wouldn't interfere with these trivial matters.

For the rest, he only needs to give opinions when necessary, and support when necessary. What's more, Fang Jingfu's idea came to him very timely, and no one needed to mention it. Of course, he agreed with it.

In fact, the most important thing is that the number of orders is increasing. Many people see that things can make money, so they flock to it. Now, his house is not enough, and he has to recruit more people.

Instead of constantly looking for a house, making yourself exhausted and taking up time, you might as well go directly to the government to approve a piece of land and build a big one yourself.

Although some funds were withdrawn during this period, he still had no money, and the raw materials ordered from outside could not keep up with the orders. He simply went to find connections to buy machines to produce raw materials.

Two rooms in Ye Yaodong's house were set aside for him, and he continued to produce accessories 24 hours a day.

He also has ideas. If the external accessories cannot keep up with his production, he will make them himself.

So the more I work, the less money I have.

Now I'm thinking about approving the land again. It just so happens that Ye Yaodong's funds are back, and he can use some of it to approving the land first. If there is more, he can continue to buy machine production parts.

That is to say, taking into account the money he is about to receive, Fang Jingfu can have ideas again.

Ye Yaodong didn't understand anything else, so he just listened to Fang Jingfu talking and talking freely about his thoughts.

However, he also gave some suggestions, asking Fang Jingfu to not only focus on the output, but also ask someone to design the appearance to make it more beautiful.

"I would like to, but now money is tight. Now I have to spend money to buy land to build a factory. The tens of thousands of dollars that have just been withdrawn gradually have to be spent on other things, and there is no space now."

"We have to wait until the new factory is built and moved to the new factory, and then we can think of other ideas and designs. For now, we can only temporarily improve these simple ones, earn more money, and make more money.

Hands first.”

"The site hasn't been settled yet, the output can't be increased, and we can't do so many tricks."

Ye Yaodong thinks what he said is right.

Space is a problem. Without space, production is limited. Now it is not a problem of variety, but that production cannot keep up with sales.

Although orders are not received easily, you can find a few more small workshops for parts, or you can simply buy machines and produce parts yourself, but the key is that you need a large enough space to support it.

"You're right. You still have to go to the government to approve a piece of land to build a big factory. Now, you can only reuse your own home."

"Or you can temporarily find an open space and put up an awning casually."

Fang Jingfu sighed, "My family has already taken advantage of it, so I discussed it with you tonight. If I don't agree, I will go to the government to approve the land tomorrow. First, I will take a piece of vacant land to temporarily build an awning, which can provide shelter from wind and rain, and then I will get another piece of land."

Before we build a factory, we have to increase the production volume."

"I went back to my hometown to worship my ancestors some time ago. Many of my relatives are overseas Chinese from seven or eight countries. They came back to build ancestral halls, donated money to build roads, build schools and hospitals. I took the opportunity to sell our lighters and ordered a bunch of them.

Contact information..."

Fang Jingfu's eyes lit up.

"Really! I read it right. You are really powerful, and you have a lot of overseas Chinese relatives. Having one or two overseas Chinese relatives is already pretty good. If you can get foreign exchange certificates, I don't know how many people will die from envy.

, you can still push lighters to others?"

"That's why I thought of asking you to ask someone to design more patterns and colors to make it more exquisite, so that we can export it. They heard that our cost is low, only a few yuan, and they were very interested."

"Let's do it, let's do it right away. Once the site is settled tomorrow, we'll hire someone to design it." Fang Jingfu suddenly became more confident.

Ye Yaodong smiled because he liked such action people.

It's not that he hasn't thought about making a fortune from it and then selling it to overseas Chinese, but he really doesn't understand the product. If he exports it for a long time, he certainly can't sell it too expensively. Mainly, he doesn't understand export. His old profession

It's the catch from a fishing boat.

Of course, you have to be sincere when partnering with Fang Jingfu. You also own the shares. Relatives will introduce you, and the rest will be handed over to Fang Jingfu. You will also be considered as a salesperson. When the time comes, you will talk to Fang Jingfu. There will always be extra commissions for the sales of the customers he introduces.

But, of course, this is also a matter of course.

This wave of overseas Chinese relatives can be regarded as putting more pressure on himself. Even if the company becomes bigger and stronger in the future, Fang Jingfu cannot kick him away at will.

Ye Yaodong was particularly satisfied with his intelligence when he thought about this.

Only when people reflect their own value can they be valued more by others.

"When I design a new product, I will call you and send you some samples in a package."

"good."

In just one month, he felt that their grassroots team seemed to be doing something decent again.

Fang Jingfu was gearing up and wanted to start a big fight right away.

The next day after the conversation, he went to the government to apply for land approval early in the morning.

However, when the land is approved, regulations must be followed, the land must be rehabilitated, and construction must be completed. These all take time and cannot be accomplished overnight.

So for at least a few months, they still have to squeeze into Ye Yaodong's house or a temporary shed to slowly develop and accumulate, but the design can be carried out at the same time.

Ye Yaodong thought that in a few months it would be almost 1986. Maybe the policy would be more relaxed and he would be able to apply for a company again.

Because he was in a hurry to deliver the goods to the city, he did not stop in Wenzhou. After checking the goods, he stayed at home and chatted all night. After a good rest, he set sail again early the next morning.

Gone.

If he stayed any longer, there would be nothing else he needed anyway.

I have been at sea for many days, so I took a good rest this night when I landed in Vancouver, which relieved my fatigue.

So when he arrived in the city the next night, he handed over a new batch of lighters to his father-in-law and set out to sea again, planning to continue fishing.

Anyway, I have had a rest, and the weather has been good recently, so I will go fishing for a few more days.

When they sailed the ship towards the East China Sea, they contacted the Harvest and found that Pei's father was still there and was in no hurry to go back.

Everyone is a qualified social animal.

Their two boats also discussed fishing for another three or four days, and then they would go back together and have company.

Ye Yaodong also told everyone, and after finishing speaking, he suddenly said something.

“Earn money at sea and spend it at sea, but don’t even think about taking a penny home.”

"What?"

"It's just a matter of dragging on the net for a few more days to pay Uncle Pei back. Wouldn't all the money on hand be exchanged for goods? Now my pockets are empty. If I drag on the net for a few more days, I can barely scrape together enough to pay him back and go home.
