From the perspective of a serious businessman, Xiang Yang's ideas and thoughts are all wrong.
The business world is like a battlefield, and you need to be reserved even with your closest people.
However, Xiang Yang was not a real businessman. He had not studied business management, he had only read history.
Looking at the great figures in history who have achieved great things, most of them trusted the people they employed and never doubted them.
If my subordinates want to rebel, then let them rebel. Why should I be afraid of having the courage to rebuild the country from scratch
Xiang Yang stood up and said, "There is no shortage of people in this world who are willing to give it a try when they have nothing. Most people find it difficult to face the loss after they have something. They study so-called management and the art of ruling others. Throughout history, they are just guard dogs who try their best to protect and maintain the status quo."
Of course, this so-called "dog who guards the status quo" was also a term used by a treacherous hero to evaluate the princes of the time. Most of them could not even guard the status quo.
Soon Xiang Yang asked the crew on the ship to bring all the conches on board and store them in the ship's cabin.
This time He Mingde didn't say anything. Although he didn't quite agree with Xiang Yang's point of view, Xiang Yang was the owner of those snails after all, and he couldn't interfere with what Xiang Yang did.
Therefore, the news about the conches could certainly not be concealed. The news about the five conches in good condition was spread among the crew members by insiders on the ship.
Xiang Yang did not deliberately conceal it. Whenever someone asked him about it, he would openly admit that it happened.
For a moment, everyone was extremely envious.
"Damn, we can make millions just by picking up five snails, but we're just catching a piece of kelp. Captain, can you take us to pick up conchs?" someone said.
Everyone looked at Xiang Yang with fiery eyes.
Xiang Yang asked with a smile: "How many of you know the value of this conch if I don't tell you its value?"
Everyone was suddenly speechless.
yes!
There are tens of thousands of shells in this sea, but most of them are worthless. Often a string of dozens of shells can only be sold for a dozen dollars.
This is equivalent to putting the treasure in front of them and they won’t recognize it.
"You can't force yourself to pick up shells. If you see them, just pick them up. If you can find them even if you don't, then there's no reason for these shells to be worth this price." Xiang Yang continued with a smile, "Collecting kelp is the real thing. I promise that from now on, for every 2,000 kilograms of kelp that you catch, I will give 500 yuan as a reward to the three most active crew members."
Xiang Yang's words immediately made many people's eyes light up.
If they can bring back 100 tons of kelp this time, the bonus from the Sunshine Fund will be at least 50,000 yuan.
Phoenix Snail and the others were just envious when they heard this, but the 50,000 yuan prize was real money, and one of them might even get more than 10,000 yuan.
After Xiang Yang announced the judging rules, he handed over the judging power to Chen Qingsheng, and then went down to the bottom of the sea to wander around again.
With the reward competition system, the speed of catching kelp on the ship has indeed increased greatly. With the crew's perseverance, on average about 200 kilograms of kelp can be caught on the ship every ten minutes.
The crew members were also organized by Chen Qingsheng into two groups according to the time to inflate the diving equipment. Each group had a clear division of labor. In just over a week, the fishing boat was loaded with kelp.
In the past week or so, almost every crew member received a bonus of at least one thousand yuan, and they were so happy to hold the red bills in their hands.
They didn't know that Xiang Yang was actually more excited than they were.
According to Xiang Yang's original estimate, it would take at least half a month to salvage a shipload of kelp. As a result, the crew managed to shorten the time by nearly half.
"Captain, we have been out for more than ten days. I think it will be difficult to deal with these kelps along the coast. The most important thing is that we have to take the conches back first." Chen Qingsheng found Xiang Yang and said rather implicitly.
Xiang Yang glanced at Chen Qingsheng.
Before going out to sea this time, Xiang Yang told the crew that fishing was secondary, and the main thing was to let the crew adapt to deep-sea fishing, so their original plan was to sail the boat to the Liaohai Sea.
The ship has not yet reached the Liaohai Sea, and given Chen Qingsheng's status, it would not be appropriate for him to propose returning at this time.
However, Xiang Yang didn't care. The catch of this trip had already exceeded his expectations, and considering the time, it was also a short ocean voyage, and the goal of training the crew's ocean-going capabilities had been achieved.
The most important thing is that what Chen Qingsheng said is right. The kelp on the boat cannot be disposed of by just finding a dock along the coast.
Xiang Yang thought of this and immediately nodded and said, "Return."
As the fishing boat was towing a boatload of kelp, its speed naturally slowed down. Xu Fang started the boat at dawn every day and only rested at dark. It took him more than a week to get the fishing boat back to Qinglongwan.
"Hey, Brother Yang."
In the Qinglongwan waters, Xiang Yang met Fatty Zuo who was rowing a fishing boat. He stood astride the small fishing boat and waved desperately at Xiang Yang's fishing boat.
"Master Xu, stop the boat." Xiang Yang shouted into the intercom.
When Fatty Zuo saw Xiang Yang’s fishing boat stopped, he immediately rowed his small fishing boat hard to the back of the big ship.
Xiang Yang lay on the side of the boat and looked at Fatty Zuo with interest. "Fatty, why are you here at sea when you are not in the village watching over your salt-making machine?"
"I'm just worried about you because you've been out for so long this time," Fatty Zuo said with a chuckle.
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, thinking that Fatty Zuo was really shameless, lying without blushing. He clearly met him on the sea and wanted his big ship to tow him, but he insisted on making it sound like he was looking for him, "So you rowed this boat out to look for me?"
After Xiang Yang saw through Fatty Zuo's thoughts, he stopped pretending. He swung his arms and said, "I've been rowing for a whole day. If I continue rowing, both of my arms will be useless. Brother Yang, just hold me for a while."
Xiang Yang looked at Fatty Zuo's boat, which only had a wet diving suit and a red plastic bucket. He couldn't help but ask, "I don't see much fish on your boat. You must have just gone out to sea, right?"
"I've been out to sea for a long time." Fatty Zuo wanted to cry when he heard Xiang Yang's words, "I went out to fish without even boiling salt in the morning. I cast several nets along the way but all were empty. It was only after diving that I caught a few swimming crabs. This time I really lost a lot."
Xiang Yang shook his head, unable to tell whether Fatty Zuo was telling the truth or a lie.
Fatty Zuo is a quirky person, and telling lies with open eyes is as easy as eating and drinking. However, it is possible that he is telling the truth. It is a consensus among coastal fishermen that there are no fish near the coast. There is no shortage of fishermen in Yanlong Village who often go to sea for nothing.
