"A Guang!"
Ah Guang turned around happily when he heard the familiar voice. "I knew you were home when I saw my dad come back last night. I was busy at home all day today, and I was thinking of going to your house tonight."
"I just came out to buy some seafood. I'm going to invite everyone to my house for a drink tonight. Remember to come and chat with us."
"Okay, then don't buy any. When my boat comes back later, just leave some for us to eat."
"How's your partnership with someone working on that boat going?"
Ah Guang said happily: "That's great. I can make money without going out to sea. I just need to come out to collect the goods after the ship docks. It's very convenient."
Ye Yaodong stroked his chin and said, "It feels like being a boss now, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes... It's mainly to save trouble. Huimei is about to give birth again, and I'm worried about not having an adult at home to help. It's better for her to stay at home and watch over her."
"When is the birth coming? You've been saying it's coming soon, why hasn't it come yet?"
"Who knows? It's hard to predict the birth of a child. We can only estimate that it will be around the Mid-Autumn Festival. She wanted to visit you today, but I didn't let her."
Ye Yaodong nodded, and seeing a boat coming in from a distance, he pointed, "That's the boat, right?"
"Yes, I don't know if there will be much stock today."
"Anyway, you're guaranteed to make money, it's just a matter of how much you make."
Ye Yaodong was not in a hurry to go back, so he helped him receive the goods on the shore and checked the boat at the same time.
The boat he built in partnership with others was a work of three people, a father and two sons. They all looked honest and simple-minded, and were from the same village. However, there were many people in his family and they were a bit poor, so they could only sell their labor, so they joined forces with them to build this boat.
With a profit of 40% to 60% or 50% to 50% respectively, A Guang can earn a steady profit. At least he can make more than 10 to 20 yuan a day. If he is lucky, he can make around 200 to 300 yuan in half a month.
It's not bad to be able to make money without working.
If all goes well, the investment can be recovered in one year.
For example, there are quite a lot of goods today, but the prices of the caught fish are not high. They are all cheap. A large basket can only be sold for a few dollars. However, the quality is not good, and the quantity is the same.
After watching him receive the goods and helping him sell them, Ye Yaodong understood everything and calculated his own assets in his mind.
You reap what you sow, but you won't make money by sowing money. Holding money in your hands will only cause it to depreciate. He knows this.
But if he doesn’t know how to do business, can’t he buy property
However, the appreciation of real estate is slow if you buy it now, and it will take many years to appreciate. It is better to buy a boat to make money first. The two shops were also available at the right time, so I bought them thinking I couldn’t miss it.
But it is not easy to buy a boat, so he can only look for it slowly. If he has more money left this year, he might be able to order a new one and follow A Guang's example and take the old one to form a partnership with others.
This time he only earned enough to support two shops, and that was due to his strong shipping capabilities and great luck. He also sold a lot of the things he salvaged, which added some extra money to his fortune. He estimated that he made a thousand dollars.
The situation on his brother's and Pei's father's sides is probably similar. If you add in the goods that sank into the sea and the rest on the ship, the cargo on that ship would be worth tens of thousands of yuan!
Maybe more than that, the cargo that fell into the sea is even more valuable, and there were dozens of ships passing by yesterday, which is amazing...
He shook his head, quickly pulling his distracted thoughts back to normal, and seeing the front door of his home right in front of him, he hurried in to kill the fish first.
I guess it won’t be long before those friends hear that he is back and they will all come over.
But before his friends showed up, his parents came over first.
"Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat something here?"
Father Ye shook his head and said, "I have eaten."
As soon as Ye's mother came over, she couldn't wait to say, "Dongzi, you have to hold on to your money tightly. Don't lend it to anyone if you don't need it. They are too embarrassed to come to you, so they all come to me. When you make some money, the whole village will know that you have made a fortune of ten thousand yuan, and you wish everyone would come up to share a piece of the pie."
"It's ok for those who don't have money to come and borrow, but those who have money also come to join in the fun. Do you think we are being taken advantage of? Your father and I can't save our face. We heard that they were pitiful, so we lent them 200 yuan. Just consider it as a way to avoid disaster. Don't lend money to them again."
Ye Yaodong was halfway through his meal when he looked over and said as a matter of course: "Shouldn't you tell the eldest and second brothers? Who dares to come to my house to borrow money? I have so many dogs at the door, it's still a problem whether anyone can get in."
Lin Xiuqing's frown suddenly relaxed and she smiled. She could buy some pork ribs to make soup tomorrow. After the adults had their fill, she could also feed the dogs.
"Besides, do I look like someone who can lend money to others?"
Too!
"Well, I just came from your eldest brother and second brother's place and told them to hold on to their purses and not become arrogant after making a little money."
"I know. I'm not a wealthy man who likes to do good deeds. I have money but nowhere to spend it. I'm still short of money myself."
Ye Yaodong continued to eat his meal without caring. He had expected this. Who doesn't have a few relatives who like to borrow money? It's normal.
But Ye's mother suddenly felt as if she had lost her ability to show her ability. She continued to stand there and curse people in a depressed manner, and said a few words to others until his friends and cousins came over to drink one after another, and then she stopped.
When more people came, the room became noisy and filled with laughter.
Ye Yaodong was also very relaxed. He was still comfortable at home, with wine to drink and bragging to say.
He drank and talked excitedly with his friends about his experiences in the industry and his work at sea. The confident glow between his brows was brought to him by money.
Money is the courage of the poor and the charm of men.
Others also added comments, and everyone felt surprised and excited.
Young people are naturally adventurous. Zheng and Xiao Xiao immediately expressed their desire to follow him and make a fortune next year.
"You have to help us make back the money we missed this year next year!"
Ah Guang also felt a little regretful. "If I had known my wife wouldn't give birth so early, I would have gone with her. Now it's just right for me to come back at this time."
"You're crazy. Making money is not as important as your wife and children." Ye Yaodong said unhappily, "You can make money anytime."
"Haha~ Just talking."
"Let's talk about next year's affairs next year. Let's have a good drink tonight. I also brought you mooncakes and local specialties. Each of you can take one back later. It's just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"That's good. It's not in vain that you have made a lot of money. You didn't forget to bring some local specialties to everyone to help them get more money."
"Hahaha~ I also learned a new way of drinking there, called knocking seven... Come on... I'll teach you, this way of playing is also interesting, and drinking is not boring..."
