Someone saw Tian Caihua's eyes sparkling and she was grinning from ear to ear, so they asked, "Ah Hua, does your family have a share of these cages?"
Tian Caihua smiled and said, "Of course, my family also invested money."
Although compared to the third brother's investment of millions, their family's ten thousand yuan is not enough to buy fish fry.
But Zhou Chengxin said that Zhou Chenglei gave 20% of the dividends to them and Zhou Chengsen, and asked them to help manage these eleven cages and the cages that would be ordered later.
It's called management, but there's not much work to do.
Zhou Chenglei has hired good people because they usually have to wait there to feed the fish and change the nets.
In other words, Zhou Chenglei has hired and arranged all the people to do the work.
Zhou Chengxin only goes there to supervise and give reminders when there is a typhoon.
To put it simply, you don’t have to do anything, just check it out every day and you’ll get your share of the money.
Zhou Chengsen just helps to keep accounts, pay salaries, deal with any issues and so on.
This is simply giving them money.
Tian Caihua didn't know how much the 20% dividend would be, so she asked her eldest son.
The eldest son said that if he earned 100 yuan, he could get 20 yuan, if he earned 1,000 yuan, he could get 200 yuan, and so on.
Then Tian Caihua would calculate that if she earned 10,000 yuan, she would get 2,000 yuan; if she earned 100,000 yuan, she would get 20,000 yuan; if she earned 1 million yuan, she would get 200,000 yuan...
Tian Caihua knew the fish in that cage last year. After deducting all costs, she estimated that she made about 700,000 yuan.
If we take the earnings from the cages last year as an example, each of the two companies can earn around 140,000 yuan from each cage.
One cage costs 140,000 yuan, so ten cages can bring in 1.4 million yuan.
The two families divided it equally, and each family got 700,000.
Do you think Zhou Chenglei gave them money?
Of course, with so many fish, I don’t know if all of them can be sold to Hong Kong Island.
If we don’t sell to Hong Kong Island, we might not even be able to recover the cost in the first year.
Someone asked again: "Ahua, how much does such a big cage cost?"
Tian Caihua: "About one hundred thousand or eighty thousand!"
The people around gasped.
It is impossible to buy a cage to raise them.
They counted the cages the workers were installing.
Ten in total!
Wouldn’t that be millions?
Zhou Chenglei is really rich!
"Ah Hua, tell us honestly, how much money did your brother-in-law make from selling the 100,000 kilograms of fish to Hong Kong Island last year? Was it a lot?"
How could Tian Caihua tell them? Tian Caihua didn't know how much she had earned because she didn't know the exact cost.
Tian Caihua only said: "It's a lot. Anyway, I can get my money back in a year, and there's still some profit to be made. You also know that things in Hong Kong Island are more expensive than here."
"I heard that the price of snapper in Hong Kong Island is more than ten yuan per pound, right?"
Tian Caihua said modestly: "About the same! But when we sell it, it won't be that high! If it were that high, we would have become rich a long time ago!"
"You're already rich! Even if you sell it at half the price, you'll still make a lot of money!"
"If I sell it for five yuan a pound, I can make half a million yuan if I sell 100,000 pounds."
"No wonder your family ordered ten more cages."
Tian Caihua: "It's very risky. These cages can only withstand a Category 12 typhoon. If a big typhoon hits by accident, millions of dollars will be wasted."
Fortunately, their family doesn’t have to pay any money, they just need to help with the management, otherwise Tian Caihua really wouldn’t dare to do it.
The power of a typhoon is no joke.
"Typhoons above level 12 are rare! They don't appear once in ten years."
"That's right."
"By the way, when will you sell those mussels? I saw they grew a lot bigger when the tide went out yesterday."
Tian Caihua felt better when she mentioned this: "I plan to sell it next month."
Those mussels can be sold when the tide recedes next month. Zhou Chengxin estimates that their family has harvested about 100,000 kilograms of mussels.
When the time comes, if you sell it to Hong Kong Island, even if it’s just over one dollar per pound, you can get hundreds of thousands of dollars.
How could Tian Caihua be in a bad mood?
Zhou Chengxin said that she has been laughing out loud in her sleep recently.
By selling the mussels, she had enough money to buy a house in the city.
Zhou Chengsen plans to buy a house in the city. Zhou Chenglei already has a house in the city, and Tian Caihua feels that she also needs to have a house in the city.
The most important thing is that it was the house built by Jiang Xia’s grandfather, and Jiang Xia’s grandfather offered to sell it to them at a low price.
If you don’t take advantage of an opportunity, you’re not Tian Caihua!
You can make a profit by buying the house first and then selling it.
Even if you don't sell it, you can still make money by renting it out.
Her goal is to become a landlady.
Those stalls in the seafood market gave Tian Caihua great confidence in investing in properties in the city.
…
Pan Daidi also came to see the cages today, and kept asking questions to the workers who were installing the cages.
When Zhou Bingqiang's wife saw how interested she was in the fish cages, she came closer to her and asked, "Daidi, are you also planning to order fish cages for your family?"
Pan Daidi had previously gone to the brigade to make a fuss, demanding that the brigade ask Zhou Chenglei and his team to vacate 100 acres of beach for raising mussels, and this matter became known to everyone.
It's just that her request was really unreasonable and she didn't succeed!
Pan Daidi glanced at her and said, "Yes, I have this plan. My Junjie has many connections in Hong Kong Island, so he wants to raise some fish and sell them to Hong Kong Island."
Zhou Bingqiang's wife: "You need to rent sea area to raise fish in cages. Have you rented it?"
Pan Daidi: "Not yet. I haven't even ordered the cages yet. Why would I want to rent the sea area so quickly?"
Zhou Bingqiang's wife immediately said: "You don't know this! It's hard to rent the sea area! I almost didn't rent the sea area at home...."
Then she told them how difficult it was to get approval to lease the sea area.
"My family was able to rent the land only because of connections. Even with connections, we still had to give in to certain people. The area we liked was occupied by someone else. We waited for half a year, and I caused trouble again. Finally, the land was approved for us."
Pan Daidi: "No way? Is it so difficult to rent?"
"Why not? But there's nothing we can do about it. He married a good wife with a strong backing. They're afraid that the fish we raise are better than theirs and will take away their business, so they don't even want us to rent the sea area!"
Zhou Bingqiang's wife exaggerated and told a half-truthful story about the original leasing of the sea area.
"So if you want to order cages to raise fish, I advise you to rent a sea area first. Otherwise, if you can't rent one, it's useless to order cages! Don't be like our family, which ended up with nothing. Although my family has sea area now, I didn't expect cages to be so expensive. Without money to order them, the sea area can only be empty. A good cook cannot cook without rice. We can only wait until we make money before ordering cages."
Pan Daidi thought that Jiang Xia's background was indeed strong. Just for a small matter, she was forced to operate the sewing machine, and she had to operate it for such a long time, not even for a day.
If she went to rent the sea area, she probably wouldn't be able to do so, so she asked, "Would you like to rent your sea area to me?"
This is exactly the result Zhou Bingqiang’s wife wanted!
Everyone is happy! (End of this chapter)
