It's not a valuable thing and it's not burdensome to carry. No one will refuse it. It's just a good name for him in the family building.

The room is full of square nylon bags. If they hadn't been vacated earlier, there would be nowhere to put them.

After finishing the kelp work, others went next door to help carry the goods delivered by Ah Cai, and Ye Yaodong also locked up the storage room.

He then went to the fish-killing workshop next door, which was in full swing. There was only a wall between the two plots of land, but they were two extremes.

Fortunately, they were separated, and it could barely be considered dry and wet separation.

Those old ladies are killing fish while discussing the weighing of kelp just now. What they get is always first-hand information, and what they discuss is always the latest headlines.

He walked around in a circle and took Ah Cai, who was listening to the excitement, to stand aside and chat.

Ah Cai had just finished weighing the goods, finishing the order, and was chatting with his father.

"Brother Cai, have you made a lot of money recently?"

"Haha, isn't it all thanks to my brother? If you leak a little from between your fingers, I can survive. Now I rely entirely on you to make money."

"In that case, I also need your help. Otherwise, it will be too laborious to send people everywhere to collect the goods. Why don't I give you the job package and let you arrange it."

He opened a pack of cigarettes, handed two cigarettes to Ah Cai, and lit a cigarette for him. Ah Cai was very happy.

"Now that I can let you light a cigarette for me, my face looks brighter."

"We're all friends, what's wrong with lighting up a cigarette? Look at your big belly and bald head, you look like a boss, and I look like a little brother."

"Don't laugh at me, anyone can do this job. Agui and the others at the dock can also collect the goods for you, or you can send a few workers to the town dock to collect the goods. You specifically gave the goods to me to collect,

Let me earn this money, I know it very well."

"There is a more profitable job, do you want to do it?"

"What kind of work? Don't you have enough goods? I can't do anything else except collecting and selling goods."

Ye Yaodong put his arm on his shoulder and walked towards the door to avoid too much noise inside.

"Are you interested in selling goods at the market?"

"Ah? As for the small amount of goods at our wharf, we don't need to bring them to the market. The surrounding vendors will digest them and send them to the county at most, unless it is the flood season or there is a big harvest of some kind of fish. Do you want me to sell squid or something?

?”

"No, my fresh-harvesting ship is about to arrive. A few of my own ships are enough for docking, but it takes time to process these goods ashore, and I can't squat in the market all the time to sell goods, so I thought of you."

There are also people collecting fish at the pier. The fresh fish collecting boats have all kinds of goods. People who specialize in collecting fish will pick out what they need. It is impossible to eat them all. Those are goods worth thousands or even tens of thousands. They also need to collect fish from other boats.

I will only accept what I need, and it must be accessible.

A small buying place can't handle a lot of goods. Likewise, he's not the only one in the business. After all, all transactions require cash.

For the rest, you have to find a buyer yourself, or send it to the wholesale market to wait for a buyer. In the past, they took it directly to the wholesale market, which saves one step. Although you have to pay for freight, you can still make more money if you have more goods.

Now he has a hard time selling a boatload of goods, let alone collecting a whole boatload of fresh goods. He directly arranges for his younger brother to stay and sell the goods. He is also worried that others will take his money and run away. After all, he pays with one hand.

First hand delivery.

He himself can't stay in the market all day long, and if he can't sell all the goods, he has to stack them in the icehouse and continue the next day, so he has to transfer the goods to others, which can save him more trouble.

You only need to cooperate with Ah Cai. He is responsible for driving a fresh ship to collect a circle of goods at sea. After docking, he will weigh the goods to Ah Cai and bill him according to the purchase price of the dock that day.

For the rest, he can be a hands-off shopkeeper and don't have to take care of anything, letting Ah Cai sell the goods by himself and make a profit from the price difference.

With so many goods, you can make a lot of money, but it takes time and requires upfront capital costs.

But it doesn't matter if you can make more money, it doesn't matter if you spend some time. Ah Cai's behavior of helping him receive the goods is also to make more money, and the wholesale market will become more and more prosperous.

He is also targeting Ah Cai, who is quite capable. He definitely doesn't have much money on hand. If not, he can find a partner with relatives and friends.

In fact, he could also go to Lao Hai and sell the goods to him. He seems to be well-connected and has abundant funds, and he can now make a living at the dock.

But Lao Hai was in the provincial capital, and he found it difficult to go around to the provincial capital and then back to the city. It would be better to encourage Ah Cai to develop in the city and earn money for him.

"Think about it, how much can you collect in the village? What I ask you to help collect is only cheap fish, and the income is limited. It will be different if you go to the city to develop."

"A fresh-picking ship carries dozens of tons of cargo, and all of it is given to you. Although the cost of advance capital is high, the return rate is also high. And isn't that store in your city not rented out? You can also use it and pile up more.

The ice cubes can be converted into ice storage and can be used to store unsold goods when the time comes. This is also ready."

The information Ah Cai sent him was shocked, and he frowned, unable to think clearly.

"You also have a fresh harvest boat... You plan to eat it directly from beginning to end without revealing any soup..."

"That's right. If I didn't have someone I can trust, it would be troublesome to send it to the provincial capital. I don't have to drag you. I'll transfer the goods to you and let you make the difference."

If he could have any fish processing factory of his own, it would be a one-stop shop.

Now we only have half a dragon, the cheap ones are used for drying, the worthless ones are used for fermentation, and the rest are sold to Ah Cai.

"Let me think about it. I suddenly left such a big thing behind. I have to think about it. It's dozens of tons. Except for the squid season and your crazy fishing for toad fish in winter, it's rare to have so much goods in one day. At most

Occasionally, if you encounter schools of Balang fish, schools of dragonhead fish, schools of pomfret, etc., there will be more goods.”

"Actually, the nature is the same. You were also collecting retail households in the village, but now you are directly collecting large households like me. Doesn't this have more room for development? There is still unlimited hope in the city."

"I have to go home and think about it."

"Then you go back and think about it. This opportunity cannot be missed, and it will never come back. I have a fixed source of goods, or if you are worried about advancing funds, find two more people to join forces. Originally, you can't do this alone, so you have to hire someone."

"I'll go back and think about it, when will your fresh-harvest boat start collecting goods? Why didn't I hear that you had another fresh-harvest boat, and I didn't see any fishing boats coming in."

"At the end of next month, or at the beginning of June, it depends on the situation. It's still a long time, so you can think about it carefully. If you feel that you can't bear it and want to stay in the village, that's fine. I'll find someone else."

"It's still a month or so away, so that's okay, don't worry, I'll think about it."

"Well, you generally know the situation in the city. You also have shops in the wholesale market. You also know that the market is getting more and more prosperous. How much traffic there are around, how much seafood is shipped out every day, and I heard that seafood will be processed this year.

There are a lot more factories.”

Ah Cai nodded, with a rare serious look on his face, "I know, I will consider it carefully."

"Well, in a big place, there are more opportunities. Go out and hang out, maybe you can become a famous fishing boss in the city, and you can develop other industries in the future."

He smiled and said, "With your mouth, you can talk about life and death."

"Haha, that's not the case. I'm just analyzing the pros and cons for you. It's a win-win situation. Of course I hope you will go to the city to do it together."

"Then if I go to the market, your workshop will be out of supplies and will need to find someone else..."

"Are you kidding me? When I get the fresh boat, you will also lose your job here. I will sell you a whole boat full of valuable goods, and I can still send back the worthless ones to dry the fish, and there is no need to go through it.

Your hand, let your middlemen make a profit."

Ah Cai was silent for a moment, "Then I will really be beaten back to my original shape, and I will no longer be able to earn money and drink soup from you."

"That is to say, I have the goods myself, so of course I don't have to go outside to collect them. If you think about it, our cooperation can be considered a win-win situation."

"Okay, wait until I go to the market soon to have a look and investigate."

"Okay, you should be more careful."

"You are really getting better and better. Hey...it has only been so long. It seems that the whole village can follow you and drink soup."

"Who knows, I just kept working and ended up like this. I didn't expect the stall to be so big. I just wanted the whole family to have enough food and clothing, and just have some small assets."

Ah Cai shrugged expressionlessly, shook off his hand on his shoulder, and walked away.

"Hey? What are you doing? Where are you going? I haven't finished talking yet..."

"I have nothing to say to you."

"No, didn't we have a good chat just now? You even smoked two of my cigarettes, and I ordered them..."

Ah Caili ignored him and continued walking towards the village.

Ye Yaodong followed him and continued to read, "I didn't think much about it at first. I just thought that I couldn't keep the money in my hands and had to use it in production to make money, so I kept buying ships, buying big ships, doing this and that..."

Ah Cai's pace slowed down a bit, and these words that could still be heard were more pleasant to the ears than what he just said.

"...Who would have known that there would be more and more people behind me, and more and more things to consider, and the result would be like this, which is far different from the original idea. There are more and more industries, and it is exhausting...

…”

Ah Cai felt that he should not slow down, so he quickened his pace and strode towards the village, leaving behind the people behind him.

"Hey... listen to what I have to say... why are you walking so fast? I don't eat people, so I just want to chat with you..."

Can't this person be a good listener?

What's wrong with hearing about Versailles?

He left before he finished speaking. It was rare that he had a strong desire to chat at night.

Ye Yaodong smiled and walked back. After talking for a long time, he wasted a lot of water and he was also thirsty.

The workshop is in good order now, and there is no need for him to stay in it. He just happens to go home and go to bed early. He is tired after working for so long.

Tomorrow I have to get up early to go out to sea for longline fishing, and then I have to go to the city.

Ye's father and Ye's mother have been helping in the workshop, and they have stayed there until now.

At this time, I also planned to go home and rest, as Ye’s father would go to sea at night.

It was rare for the old couple to walk together with smiles on their faces. They chatted while walking. They looked so harmonious that Ye Yaodong felt like the moon was about to come out in the east.
