He slept so soundly that he didn't wake up for lunch and didn't wake up until it was almost dark in the evening.

He got up, dressed, and went out of the room, where he saw Ye Qingling busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

"Ah Ling".

Feng Ye called out and went in to help her start the fire, so she wouldn't have to wander around the stove all by herself.

"Are you awake?"

Ye Qingling glanced at it, then continued to focus intently on wielding the spatula.

"Um."

Feng Ye laughed and said, "I haven't had such a good night's sleep in days, so I slept a little longer."

"Is this just a little while? You've been sleeping for half the day. You've slept so much during the day, how are you going to sleep at night?"

"Hehe, then let's exercise a bit, and we'll be more likely to sleep when we're tired, right?"

"You idiot, is there nothing else on your mind besides that?"

Ye Qingling touched her belly and said coquettishly, "I'm still pregnant with another one. Too many times is not good for the baby."

Feng Ye then remembered that Ye Qingling was pregnant.

Because Ye Qingling was only a few months pregnant and her belly wasn't showing yet, he had completely forgotten about it.

I didn't even think about it when I was running errands in the morning.

"Ah, right, right, it shouldn't be too frequent. But..."

He paused, chuckled, and then added, "It's not like we have to do it; there are other ways."

"You are beautiful."

Ye Qingling rolled her eyes, not wanting to hear him continue his flirtatious talk, and changed the subject, "A-Can and Xiao Guowen came over this afternoon and stayed next door for half the afternoon. They just left not long ago."

Why didn't you wake me up?

"You're blaming me now? Why didn't I wake you? But you were sleeping like a log, I couldn't wake you up no matter what I did, so I just let you keep sleeping."

"Uh... really?"

Feng Ye smiled awkwardly and asked, "I know why A-Can came here, but what's Brother Wen doing here?"

"I don't know anything else, you can ask him yourself. But when he left, he asked me to let you know to go to his house that night to settle the accounts and divide the money from last month's Harvest Fund."

"Okay, I'll go check it out after dinner."

Feng Ye nodded, then frowned. "Sigh, I had an appointment with A-Can and my older brother tonight to discuss something, but it looks like I'll have to reschedule for tomorrow night."

"What's up? Want a share of the money from this voyage?"

"It's not about the money."

Ye Qingling pressed further, "What is it?"

Feng Ye thought about it and realized that he still needed to get Ye Qingling's consent for his plan. He couldn't just do things his own way and make decisions on his own.

He considered it for a moment and said, "I don't plan to divide this money. I'm thinking of saving it up and buying a boat when I have enough."

"What, buy a boat?"

Ye Qingling's mouth dropped open in surprise. "You want to buy a boat?"

"right."

Feng Ye nodded heavily, his eyes shining with determination.

Ye Qingling forgot about cooking and turned to stare at him intently: "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious."

Feng Ye's expression was solemn, showing no sign of joking.

"You just bought one boat, and it's only been out to sea once. Why do you want to buy another one? Don't forget, the shipyard still has one boat that hasn't been delivered yet."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ye immediately felt much more at ease.

As long as Ye Qingling doesn't strongly object, then the matter is already more than half successful.

His biggest fear was that Ye Qingling would strongly oppose it, and he really wouldn't know how to persuade her then.

After all, buying a boat is no small matter; it requires a significant investment of funds.

“This is not something I did on a whim; it was something I thought about carefully.”

He explained with a smile, "You've seen the sales list too. The purchase price from the seafood collection boats is too cheap, while the resupply is too expensive. If only we had our own seafood collection boat..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Qingling was surprised again: "You want to buy a seafood collection boat?"

"Okay, let's order a boat for collecting fresh seafood first."

Feng Ye then explained, “We now have the Dongsheng, and the shipyard also has the Ziqi that hasn’t been delivered yet. In addition, Uncle Jun’s Fengshou makes three ships.”

It is absolutely necessary to set up a cargo ship to collect the goods from these three ships; it will definitely be a profitable venture.

Moreover, with the fresh catch boat, the miscellaneous fish and shrimp caught don't have to go to waste; the boat can bring them back to dry.

This adds up to another source of income.

In addition, fishing boats can also resupply and collect cargo from other fishing boats at sea, earning the price difference.

This is also a considerable income.

He poured out all his thoughts about the sea to Ye Qingling.

After listening, Ye Qingling's eyes gradually brightened, and she also felt that his idea was feasible.

She thought for a moment and said, "Your idea is not bad, but collecting fresh seafood boats is not cheap, is it?"

"That's natural, and it's likely to be more expensive than a fishing boat."

Feng Ye continued, "However, there's no need to rush. Let's take it slow and place the order when we've saved enough money."

Ye Qingling nodded: "Okay, you can decide this matter."

Anyway, I don't understand these things. As long as you think it's feasible and can make money, that's fine.

By the way, this fish-collecting boat is also going to be a partnership with Big Brother and Ah Chan, right? Have you discussed it with them yet?

"Not yet. I was planning to discuss it with them tonight, but I'm going to Uncle Jun's house later, so I'll have to find another time."

Feng Ye had considered buying it on his own, but his savings were too slow, and he didn't know when he would be able to save enough for the deposit.

However, it's different when three people partner up; they can accumulate enough funds in twice as long.

Time is money.

The sooner we can place the order with the shipyard, the sooner we can receive it and put it into use.

"Then you'll have to talk to them properly. If they don't agree, don't force them."

"Don't worry, this is a great way to make money, they'll definitely agree."

Ye Qingling rolled her eyes at him: "Are you that confident?"

Feng Ye chuckled: "This isn't confidence, it's the truth."

You've seen the order details; the profit from collecting seafood by boat shouldn't be too high.

Even if we take a step back and can't get cargo from other ships, and only get cargo from our own three ships, we still can't lose money.

Do you think they wouldn't be tempted?

Ye Qingling thought about it and felt that what Feng Ye said made a lot of sense.

She then advised, "However, you must remember to act within your means in everything you do. Don't rush into things and end up getting yourself trapped."

Don't forget, there's still nearly 200,000 yuan left to pay for that undelivered "Purple Aura" cruise ship.

Feng Ye smiled and agreed, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Even if we place an order immediately, the earliest delivery time is estimated to be the end of next year.

We have enough time to earn that money.

If they have extra money, they can even order a few more fishing boats.

At that time, the cargo ships won't even need to collect cargo from other ships; the cargo from our own few ships will be enough to fill them up..."
