On the way back, both pairs of fathers and sons were extremely excited, their faces beaming with smiles.
They all knew exactly how much those 8,000 jin of dried fish cost.
Today's profit should be at least 2,500 yuan.
Adding the profit from selling over a thousand kilograms in the county town, that's over 3,000 yuan.
Standing at the bow of the Rising Sun, Feng Ye was overjoyed, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Sure enough, making money is still faster in business.
This is the first time in my two lifetimes that I've earned money so easily.
Although he had made a lot of money at sea, and quite a few times, it was all due to luck.
Although they were both equally happy and excited, the reasons for their happiness were different.
However, what excited them even more were the next few days.
The next day, he and Ah-Can went out to sea as usual and spent another day catching sea urchins.
When I returned, I received news that I had received another order from the Trade Plaza, and it needed to be delivered the next day.
To make it easier for the business owners to place orders, they left them the village committee's phone number.
This time, the order was much larger. Boss Xie ordered 10,000 jin, and the other two bosses each ordered 5,000 jin.
"I told you, you can't go wrong by listening to me, now you know?"
Feng Ye said smugly, "The day before yesterday, I asked you all to have your relatives and friends come and dry the fish, and you were all worried about this and that..."
Ye Qingling rolled her eyes: "Alright, I know you have good taste, stop showing off."
“I’ll go there later and talk to your uncles, and let them make some money too.”
Xiao Chunxiu had just finished speaking excitedly when Feng Jiaqing added, "Don't just think about your family, inform the other relatives as well."
Xiao Chunxiu glared at her and said, "I won't forget, you don't need to tell me more."
"I also need to go back tomorrow morning..."
"I need to make a call home too..."
Du Guilan and Aunt Ling were also overjoyed. Being able to earn money for their own family was a very prestigious thing.
Ye Qingling then said, "A-Ye, didn't you always say you wanted to keep a low profile? Isn't this a bit too high-profile?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent, and the smiles on their faces slowly faded.
"Times have changed. Now we can't keep a low profile even if we want to. We need to secure our supply, so we have to rely on others."
"Aren't you afraid that others will follow suit, drying fish and not selling them to us, but instead selling them themselves?"
"I'm not afraid."
Feng Ye shook his head, "We already have stable sales channels and a good reputation."
"Even if others try to imitate us, it will be difficult for them to reach our level in a short period of time."
"Besides, this business isn't easy to do. You have to find the right approach, otherwise you're just wasting your time."
"Yes, I was about to give up the day before yesterday, but Ye-ge pulled me back."
Ah-Can said with deep feeling, "Besides, if we hadn't run into Boss Xie, we would have wasted a whole day."
"Our most important task now is to expand production to meet market demand."
Feng Ye continued, "Those who want to sell themselves, go ahead and sell them. When they run into obstacles, they will naturally come back to us for help."
"By the way, you all need to keep your mouths shut. Don't divulge everything. Let them guess what's going on, but we can't say it out loud."
“Ah Ye is right.”
Feng Jialing nodded and said, "As long as it doesn't come from our mouths, even if others guess something, it's just their guess."
The others nodded in agreement.
"We can talk about these things later. Right now, the most important thing is to complete these three orders."
Ye Qingling said, "But there's a problem now. We've done the math, and the inventory in the county's shops, including what we dried and collected today, is still not enough for 20,000 jin."
Feng Ye frowned and asked, "How much more is needed?"
Ye Qingling handed over a piece of paper: "More than four thousand catties, the exact quantity is on this."
Feng Ye glanced at it briefly and found that only two varieties had enough quantity, while the other varieties were more or less insufficient.
"What should we do about the shortfall of over 4,000 jin?"
Without a second thought, Feng Ye replied, "What else can we do but go door-to-door to collect them?"
There's nothing we can do about it.
Some families sell what they see in the sun, without keeping any stock.
However, most households accumulate a certain quantity before selling it all at once.
Gathering these four thousand kilograms shouldn't be a problem.
“Okay, Ah-Can and Uncle Ling will be in one group; Dad, you and I will be in another. The four of us will split up to collect dried fish, and the rest of us will stay in the workshop to work.”
"good."
"By the way, if you encounter someone who tries to raise prices on the spot, ignore them and don't let them get away with it."
"knew."
"Also, try to collect as much as possible, preferably more than 6,000 jin, otherwise the county will have nothing to sell tomorrow."
"Indeed, although the county can only sell a little over a thousand catties, we can't afford to lose any."
Everyone agreed.
"Ah Can, Uncle Ling, you two take charge of the south side of the village. My dad and I will go to the north side of the village to collect the goods, so as not to repeat the process and waste time."
Feng Ye continued, "We will not pay for any of the goods received today. Let them come over tomorrow afternoon with the receipts to collect the money."
Ah-Can said urgently, "Then we need to get moving. We still need to pack the goods after we get them back. We'll be busy tonight."
"That's right, we need to hurry."
Feng Ye nodded in agreement, "Let's split up and get the goods together as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's do it that way."
So the four of them quickly split up and each pushed their carts in different directions to collect the goods.
They went from one store to another...
They even had to go to the neighboring village to collect some varieties because they couldn't find them all.
It wasn't until after 10 o'clock that we finally received the required quantity.
In addition to the 20,000 jin of goods ordered, we also received an extra 1,500 jin, which is enough to sell in the county tomorrow.
By the time I finished all my work and went back to sleep, it was already late at night.
They were all so tired they could barely stand up straight, but seeing the warehouse full of dried fish, they felt a sense of satisfaction amidst their exhaustion.
The next morning, before dawn, the Rising Sun, fully loaded with dried fish, set sail again.
That small boat wasn't up to par; it didn't have enough carrying capacity, so the Rising Sun had to take over.
Feng Ye was starting to regret buying that dilapidated ship; it was useless!
