As before, only Wang Hai will go with him on this trip to Bering Gorsky; Li Shuang and the others will not be able to go.
After all, they are the company's management. This trip to Bering Govsky will take nearly two months round trip, so someone needs to be in charge of supervising them.
In addition, with the end of the year approaching, their company has a lot to do, both in terms of live streaming and employee preparation.
Bai Yu can be a hands-off manager, but the others can't do anything about it.
Of course, Bai Yu wouldn't set off immediately. He would stay at home for a few more days until all the boats were gathered before they set off.
All the fishing boats currently docked at the pier want to go with them on their way to purchase goods from the geese.
After all, when they source their goods from Da'e, whether it's king crab or snow crab, their only cost for the round trip is fuel. Everything else is pure profit.
Compared to leading their own fishing expeditions at sea and bearing the risk of potentially losing money, it's clearly more cost-effective to source their catch from geese.
After Li Shuang and his team spread the word, the captains of the seven fishing boats that were still docked at the pier rushed to the company to discuss the matter with Li Shuang.
Some of these captains are locals from Sanya, while others are from other cities in Hainan Province.
Without exception, after receiving the news, whether they had just arrived at the dock or were on vacation at home, they all rushed to the company immediately.
This time, however, they were not facing Li Shuang, but their boss, Bai Yu.
Less than two hours after the news was released, all seven captains arrived at the conference room and met Bai Yu.
Of the seven captains, Bai Yu only knew one, Captain Wang of Yu Xue No. 1. The other captains joined the company later, and Bai Yu was not very familiar with them.
"Um, Uncle Wang, you've come at the right time. Could you help me do some statistics and see which of the captains here has the lowest monthly profit? Could you calculate it for me?"
Of course, please don't misunderstand, it doesn't mean we won't take those with low performance. On the contrary, our company is a loving family, and we'll take whoever has low performance this time.
"The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, so let's help those of us with lower sales figures boost ours and have a prosperous new year too!"
After listening to what Bai Yu said, the other six of the seven captains present, except for Uncle Wang, all looked at Bai Yu with disbelief in their eyes.
This was the first time they had ever heard of people with poor performance receiving benefits.
Although they worked at Yuxue Shipping Company, Bai Yu and his team didn't set specific performance targets for each ship, but the captains still didn't want their performance to be at the bottom of the company, as that would be too embarrassing.
Moreover, their year-end bonuses are linked to the performance of each fishing boat. The better the performance of the fishing boats after a busy year, the higher their year-end bonuses will be.
This includes not just the captain's year-end bonus, but the year-end bonuses of everyone on the ship, all of which are linked to this performance.
If you work hard all year, but your fishing boat's performance is at the bottom, you'll naturally receive the least bonus. In that case, do you think your crew will resent you, the captain?
So even though Bai Yu and the other leaders didn't set performance targets for the captains, the captains were under tremendous pressure, especially now that the company had thirty-five fishing boats, which increased the competitive pressure exponentially.
Now Bai Yu says that it doesn't matter if the performance is low, as they can make up for it by going to Da'e to buy some king crabs. This is undoubtedly a great thing for those new captains whose performance is not good at the moment!
Aside from taking along a few fishing boats with poor performance, there's one fishing boat that absolutely must come along: Bai Yu's first fishing boat, the Yu Xue. As for the rest, we'll see how things go.
Soon, Uncle Wang compiled the performance statistics of the seven captains present (including himself). The best performing fishing boat was Yuxue No. 1, which was the boat Uncle Wang was on. By the end of October, it had caught more than 130 million fish and was preparing to reach the target of 150 million before the end of the year.
The remaining six boats can be disregarded; the total catch of all six boats combined cannot match the catch of Uncle Wang's single boat.
There's nothing we can do about it. These six fishing boats were all recently acquired, and they've only gone out to sea three times or less each time, so their performance naturally won't be very good.
After compiling the results, Bai Yu told the six captains to go back and wait for further notice. He said they would get back to him within three days, and those who received the notice could set off with him.
If any other fishing boats from their company return to port within these three days, they should be informed of this matter. Otherwise, it wouldn't be right to only inform some employees of good news and keep it from the others.
They will notify anyone who can return in time, and also check on their performance this year. If they need assistance, they will help; otherwise, they will leave it at that.
Take Yu Xue Wu Hao for example. He helped Bai Yu transport tuna from Hawaii before, and the profits from those tuna went to Yu Xue Wu Hao. But this time, he probably won't get any from the trip to Da'e.
Indeed, that was the case. Over the next three days, a total of eight ships returned to the dock, but none of them were the Yuxue No. 5. They didn't even come back.
This year, the company's three best-performing fishing boats are Yuxue No. 5, Yuxue, and Yuxue No. 2.
All three vessels have already achieved a revenue of over 150 million. Of these three fishing boats, only the Yu Xue will be traveling with Bai Yu and the others.
The other two fishing boats are still adrift at sea, and they are putting in all their effort to compete for this year's sales champion title, striving to achieve their targets.
The reason they work so hard is because they receive ranking rewards.
Although the company does not set performance targets for each ship, there is an annual ranking list, and the results are settled annually, with additional rewards based on the ranking.
Those ships with better performance are currently out there trying to improve their rankings. Things like going to geese farm to haul king crabs are just small change to them.
If they happen to encounter a large school of yellow croakers while fishing in the East China Sea, they'll become rich with just one net.
Even if you don't encounter large yellow croaker, you can still make a lot of money by catching a group of large croaker, pomfret, tiger prawns, etc. You can catch hundreds of thousands of kilograms of them.
Moreover, these captains are concerned about this year's performance, which will be updated on December 31st.
The journey from Hai Province to Da'e, where they would load up with king crabs and then return, plus the time spent loading and resupplying, raises questions about whether they could make it back before December 30th.
If they can't come back, then even if we make a lot of money from king crab, it will only count towards the next year's performance, and this year's performance will just be like this.
Three days later, the ten ships that Bai Yu's company was going to use this time were confirmed: Yu Xue, Yu Xue No. 1, Yu Xue No. 11, Yu Xue No. 13, 14, 15, 19, 21, 22 and Yu Xue No. 31.
Yes, all of Bai Yu's company's fishing boats are named with the characters "Yu Xue" (渔雪), listed in order.
On November 7th, Bai Yu and the others were all ready. They arrived at the city's dock, boarded the ship, and prepared to depart.
Bai Yu's company now has too many boats, so it's not realistic for them to dock at the docks in their county. They have to dock at the county and city docks separately, wherever is convenient.
Ten fishing boats with identical markings sounded their horns simultaneously and then set off towards the sea.
That scene was truly breathtaking, especially since the Yuxue Company's ships were all 70-meter-long vessels, and ten of them were moving together – that was a veritable fleet!
The largest vessel is the Yuxue fishing boat. As the first ship of Yuxue Shipping Company, all the subsequent ships were built with the help of the Yuxue. It is undoubtedly a hero.
The captain of the Yuxue is still my uncle. This year, my uncle is over fifty years old. Originally, Bai Yu planned to let my uncle retire to the second line and let him coordinate the work of the remaining ships at sea, so that he could enjoy his retirement.
But my uncle is a man who can't sit still. In his own words, he hasn't even reached retirement age yet, so why should he retire to the second line?
It's not like before, when there was such a thing as "substitute shifts." Besides, Bai Yu's cousin, Liu Tianyu, also works at the company and is now the captain of the Yu Xue No. 26.
......
"Uncle, tell us about it. You've been to Beringgovsky before, right? I heard that it's a controlled city, and ships aren't usually allowed to dock there. Does your former company have connections there?"
When it comes to the Bering Strait, the first person mentioned is Uncle Da, otherwise Bai Yu and the others might not have thought of fishing there.
So he was quite curious about this, wanting to know what kind of company his uncle and his colleagues used to work for.
"My previous company? That was a long time ago. I left there two and a half or three and a half years ago? I can't quite remember."
Well, how should I put it? My previous company was quite large and involved in a wide range of businesses. They didn't just have fishing boats; they also had many cargo ships and did maritime transport and trade.
Your uncle only works in the fishing industry, and he's not even a captain, just a first mate, so his knowledge is limited.
As far as I know, before I resigned, the fishing industry at my old company was already in decline, and the number of fishing boats had decreased sharply, which meant I couldn't get promoted...
