Chapter 1626 Complaint
Since landing, Ye Yaodong has been extremely busy. Only after all the contacts were made could he catch his breath, and then he had to call the shipyard to urge them to hurry up.
He didn't eat dinner until it was dark, and only then did he feel a little free.
Now, he's not needed for evening deliveries anymore. Lin Guangming, Lin Guangwen, Ye Chengjiang, and Ye Chenghe, these four people, drive two large Jiefang trucks and two tractors, each with a few workers to unload the goods, and they can arrange the delivery properly, collect the payment and delivery slips, and then hand them over to the finance department for reconciliation the next day.
They've gotten used to it; they can arrange delivery orders in advance and don't have to worry about much anymore.
Even Ye's father doesn't need to go anymore. He can just sit in the factory and stamp things every day. In the afternoon, when the fish-collecting boats come back, he can go to the dock to take a look.
He's truly become President Ye in name and in fact, even more like a boss than he is now.
He's like someone working for his father, still adrift at sea.
Mr. Ye was busy until almost dark before he returned from the dock, and he happened to run into them while eating in the canteen.
"Is the cargo unloaded?"
"The cargo you brought back has just been unloaded, and the last truck has been sent away. There are still two cargo ships waiting to be unloaded today. I've let Baoxing take over the arrangements. Come back and have a meal first, I'm starving."
"Then we'll have to work until dawn?"
"That's about right. I told them to stop and we can continue tomorrow after they've had a good night's sleep."
"I think it's the same whether you're here or not for the time being. Why don't you come with me to sea for a few days and learn something?"
Mr. Ye's face immediately fell, and he flatly refused.
"No, it's fine as it is now. I'll just sign and stamp for you and keep an eye on things at the factory. You can come back once a week anyway, right? I'm not going."
"If you don't go, there'll be no one to relieve me at sea..."
"You're already familiar with the job, so why don't you just teach them and hand them over to them? Just like those two seafood collection boats near the coast, right? I'm not going."
"Just occasionally..."
"No, I'm retiring once the house is finished."
"Then I'll call back and tell the foreman to stop work."
“Then I’ll go back now, quit, and retire.”
Now even Ye's father is resorting to cheating; who's afraid of who!
Ye Yaodong looked at his father with a complicated expression. He could threaten people, and now he knew how to enjoy life.
It's just that the old lady is old, her eyesight is not good, her hearing is a little deaf, her hands and feet are not nimble, and she lives far away, otherwise her father wouldn't be so tough.
He used to be so easy to talk to, always willing to work hard and go wherever he was needed. Now, after a few calls of "General Manager Ye," he doesn't want to suffer at all.
“After you go back, no one will call you President Ye anymore.”
Ye's father couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. "Don't even think about sending me to sea to exchange you for you again. If I go, you definitely won't switch with me. From now on, I'll be the one suffering at sea, through wind and rain, while you stay on shore drinking, singing, washing feet, and getting massages every day!"
"How can that be possible?"
"Ha, that's how it was before. After you handed over the delivery work to me, you would make excuses to go to Shanghai or collect debts, and then you would spend your days drinking, singing, getting foot massages and other massages! I'm not falling for your tricks."
"That's not an excuse. I'm just socializing normally. If I didn't maintain these relationships to attract clients, would our factory be able to grow bigger and bigger? Would our goods be able to sell so well? Would we be able to sell out all our stock?"
"No matter what you say, I won't go to sea! Going to Shanghai would be more like it!"
"!!! Dream on!" Ye Yaodong's eyes widened in disbelief.
“I’m an old man, can’t you let me rest? You young people are quick and efficient, it’s no problem for you to do more. Don’t always think about making me do more work. I’ve done enough in my life. If you do more now, you can enjoy your later years.”
"I need to go to Shanghai to check on the ships and the machinery. I also need to maintain relationships with my clients. I can't just ignore them for months without treating them to meals or connecting with them."
"You haven't been at sea for more than a few months, have you? You've only been at sea for half a month!" Father Ye gave him a look that said, "Don't try to fool me."
"I'm rushing around every day, always in a hurry as soon as I get ashore..."
“Leave everything to me next time. I’ll unload the cargo as soon as the ship comes back. If you need anything, just let me know and I’ll take care of it!” Father Ye patted his chest and assured him, “I didn’t bother you today either. As soon as I heard you were coming back, I went to unload the cargo on my own.”
"In the end, you just don't want to go to sea."
Mr. Ye nodded in agreement, “That’s right. You know everything anyway, why are you asking me? Now you’re the one teaching me, so why don’t you teach others? It’s just a matter of receiving goods.”
"Just take them on a few more trips, for two or three months. Once they're all familiar with the job, you can just let go. You'll only be working for two or three months at most. Why can't you stand to see me idle?"
"No, I'm not idle either, I'm busy too. Don't try to push things you don't want to do onto me."
Ye Yaodong had a lot to say, so since he was so resistant, he decided to let it go.
"Fine, if you don't want to go, then don't. Just stay here and get your stamp and signature."
Mr. Ye nodded in satisfaction.
"Oh right, when you're free to go to sea for a few days, you can take over some work at the factory so I can go home and check on the house construction."
"Holy crap, is this some kind of reversed Heavenly Gang?"
"You're the one who rebels against the Heavenly Gang! I'm your father!"
"But I'm the boss! And you're asking me to spare my time to help you with your work. You can go home and wander around."
“I’m still your father. Besides, this is your job. I’m the one who’s helping you.”
That's fucking ridiculous, it left him speechless.
"Then you just wait until I'm free."
Ye Yaodong picked up the plate and left, feeling heartbroken.
Build a small villa, and Mr. Ye's wings will grow strong.
"Hey? When are you going out to sea? How's the fishmeal deal going?"
"It's settled. Come and see the goods tomorrow morning. I've also sent them for testing. I'll have someone pick up the test report tomorrow morning. We can only discuss the price with the test report."
"That's quite efficient."
"They were the ones who asked about the fish powder in the first place."
The domestic fishmeal industry is still in its infancy, mostly consisting of small private workshops with limited output and inconsistent quality. High-quality fishmeal is still imported domestically, let alone exported, making it a scarce commodity.
Moreover, the smell of processed fishmeal is unbearable for most people, so most of them turn off the heat after a short while.
He can continue to produce this in large quantities. I reckon that once the test report comes out tomorrow and we can show it to them, we'll definitely be able to establish a long-term procurement relationship.
If you get ahead now, you'll be 100 meters ahead of others later.
Mr. Ye said, "Then you can prepare to go out to sea after you finish selling the fishmeal tomorrow."
"Yes, we'll set sail tomorrow night."
"Call the shipyard and urge them to hurry up. We're short of fresh cargo ships right now, and we don't know how much money we'll lose. Let's also change the ship we ordered later into the same type of fresh cargo ship. Anyway, it's still on the order list and hasn't been built yet."
“I know, I felt the same way.”
We need to prepare the harvesting boats in order to keep up with his volume.
He had already planned it out: to build two large cargo ships specifically for deep-sea cargo, while the 40-meter cargo ship would eventually return to near-shore waters.
After talking with his father, Ye Yaodong went to inspect the workshop.
He spends less time on shore these days, and he has a lot to do after landing, so he rarely inspects the workshop anymore. Tonight he has some free time, so he should go and check on things.
The factory is currently shipping a large volume of goods, so they operate on a three-shift, 24-hour shift system with two days off per month.
The scale is three times larger than at the beginning of last year, and he plans to continue to expand this year, taking advantage of the good business now to do as much as possible.
Apply for land expansion whenever possible, so that even if business gets tough later, you can still sublet the land you've leased.
Ye Yaodong didn't go back to his room to sleep until 10 o'clock, and the next morning at 8 o'clock, he sent someone to pick up the fish meal test report.
Around 9 o'clock, Jiang Dacheng arrived. He was in charge of export business, so it was him again.
The test reports had only just been released, and he brought along a knowledgeable person to conduct a spot check.
In the end, he decisively set a purchase price of 4500 yuan per ton. He had a total of about 40 tons, and the deal was completed for 18 yuan.
Both parties signed a purchase contract, stipulating a 50% deposit for delivery and a final payment of 25 days later.
We also want to establish a long-term supply relationship, with a monthly procurement trip, but quality must be guaranteed, since we are exporting.
Ye Yaodong was also very satisfied, having found a regular buyer, which would save him trouble in the future.
Last time, because tuna was rare and I was afraid someone else would get it first, I went through a special payment process. This time, I have to follow the proper procedures, and the payment won't be as quick.
He didn't have time to wait. As long as the contract was signed, that was enough. As for the order, he handed it over to Manager Qi and also instructed the finance department to notify Manager Qi to deliver the goods to the marine fishery company once the payment was received.
Now the factory has a complete set of rules and regulations, standardized processes, and full range of positions. As long as you give instructions, everyone can be assigned their tasks, so he can go to sea with peace of mind.
After running back and forth for two more months, he finally felt relieved enough to hand over the Dongyu No. 1 fishing boat and stopped going to sea to collect the cargo himself.
In reality, he only went back and forth for about a month before he stopped paying much attention to it. When he went out to sea again, he just followed along and kept watch for a while.
This ship is currently just going back and forth to collect cargo and process fishmeal in the hold. As long as you are familiar with the route and the equipment, there shouldn't be any major problems.
If they switch to trawling next year, he can go with them then, for a month or two.
There are basically no problems now, and we don't need him at all. It doesn't matter whether he's there or not, as the core members of the ship are all experienced.
Needless to say, the other fishing boats had been at sea for almost three months straight, experiencing all the storms and rough seas, and their mindsets were different now.
After giving instructions to the captain and the others, he felt relieved that he wouldn't be going out to sea with them anymore.
After resting for two days, he finally had time to call home, and he even specifically chose mealtime.
"Dad, you haven't called in so long! Last time it was my birthday, you didn't even call to wish me a happy birthday! You didn't even buy me a cake!"
Lin Xiuqing, standing to the side, said speechlessly, "He recites it every day, and he remembers it so well, even his birthday."
“Dad said during the Chinese New Year that he would buy me a birthday cake and invite my friends to celebrate my birthday together!”
Hearing her chattering, Ye Yaodong suddenly remembered that a month had already passed and he had completely forgotten about it.
For the past two or three months, he has been constantly on the sea, and he doesn't have much time to call home. Moreover, he only calls whenever he has free time, without specifically choosing meal times.
"Dad, you haven't called home in so long..."
"Dad, when are you coming back? Children's Day is coming up soon, and our school has a performance..."
Ye Yaodong couldn't say a word; he could only listen to the chatter on the phone, some voices near, some far.
"You have so many mouths, but I only have one. Whose question should I answer first?"
Ye Xiaoxi gripped the phone tightly, refusing to let them take it away, "I...I...you owe me a birthday cake..."
"How much money did you take from me during the New Year? Can't you ask your mother to buy you something?"
“My mother said I should go find whoever promised me, but she didn’t promise me.”
Lin Xiuqing responded from the side, "Do you think I'm that free? Would I be so bored as to make a special trip to the city just to buy you a cake?"
Ye Yaodong quickly replied, "Dad has been too busy these past few months, staying at sea the whole time. I'll go back tomorrow and then go to the city to buy you two to make up for it, okay?"
Ye Xiaoxi cheered with delight, "Really? You're really coming back tomorrow? That's great! Dad, I love you the most, you're the best! When I grow up, I'll earn lots of money and then I'll buy you food."
"Then I'll wait!"
Lin Xiuqing responded from the side, "Bullshit, all she says is nice. When I'm out and don't have any change, I ask her to go home and get me two yuan in change, and she chases me around all day asking for it."
The old lady was only concerned about his statement that he would be back tomorrow, and she immediately said happily, "You're coming back tomorrow? Then you'll be home in a couple of days, right?"
"Father, Grandmother is asking if you'll be home in a couple of days?"
Lin Xiuqing took the phone from her and happened to hear Ye Yaodong's reply.
"I'll arrange the cargo first thing tomorrow morning and set off tomorrow afternoon. As for when I'll get home, it's hard to say, since I don't drive my own boat and I'll be using a cargo ship."
"It's still more convenient to have your own boat. Cargo ships are too slow; it would probably take a week to get home."
“We have a lot of cargo, so we can charter the ship directly. It should only take two or three days. We'll have to wait until the new ship arrives next year so we won't need to charter other people's ships.”
"That's good."
Mr. Ye had just finished his work and was passing by his office when he heard the voices inside. He walked in and overheard the conversation. He asked in surprise, "Are you shipping the goods back tomorrow? Why didn't you tell me? I could have made some preparations."
What are you preparing?
"Getting ready to go home."
Ye Yaodong rolled his eyes. "Let the old lady answer the phone."
"Huh? Oh."
"Dongzi, what do you want to eat? I'll prepare it in advance so you can eat as soon as you get home. Do you want your mom to make some fish balls for you beforehand? Or make something else..."
"No need to go through all that trouble. My dad told me to call him back tomorrow and not to bother calling back."
"What? Don't listen to him, just reply to your own message and ignore him."
"No way, he doesn't even go to sea anymore. He just sits in his office comfortably drinking tea and signing documents. Otherwise, would I be so busy? Besides, he told me two months ago that whenever I had a break, I could stay at the factory to cover for him and let him go home for a few days!"
Ye's father looked at him in disbelief as he complained.
"He's glaring at me now, and he's even planning to go back and pack his things to go home tomorrow, leaving me here."
"Even if he comes back, get him out of here. Don't worry about him. You're back, so just let him sit there drinking tea and signing papers. Let him sit there as much as he wants. Don't come back. It's good that you're back. We all want you back."
Ye's father cursed loudly for a few minutes, then turned and left.
Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "My dad said he'll send me back then, and he can just stay in the office and hear people call him President Ye."
"Alright, alright, let him be President Ye, let him be President Ye to his heart's content."
P.S.: I'll add more tomorrow.
