Feng Ye didn't go to sleep right away. Instead, he and A Can took Feng Xuan for a walk around the Dong Sheng.
There's really nothing to see here; the designs of fishing boats are basically the same, with only slight differences in layout.
However, Feng Xuan watched with great interest, looking around curiously, and didn't find it boring at all.
The tour begins on the lower deck, then moves through the various cabins, continuing all the way to the bridge before concluding.
Afterwards, they went into the cabin together to calculate the earnings from this voyage so that they could distribute commissions to the boatmen.
Although Feng Ye and A-Can knew a rough estimate, they didn't know the exact number. They could only take out the list and calculate it.
The first time we docked at Tuocheng, we sold the goods to a fishmonger for a total of [amount missing].
The second and third times, they were sold to fresh seafood collection boats.
Because fresh water, diesel fuel, and ice were replenished during the second sale, the actual amount received was only 2974.6 yuan.
The third time was purely for selling goods, without any resupply, and the money was more, amounting to as much as 5863 yuan.
Adding the 60 cents I made from selling goods today, the total comes to 20 cents.
Of course, this is not net profit; there are other costs included.
Before they set sail, they spent no less than 4,000 yuan just on supplies.
Adding in the boatmen's commissions and wages, the actual profit is only around [amount missing].
Nevertheless, Feng Xuan was stunned when he saw the calculated numbers.
He knew Feng Ye was very lucky and seemed to have some secret, but he never imagined that he could earn so much money from just one trip to sea.
Even if the Harvest ship goes out to sea three or four times, it might not be able to earn such a large profit; it would take almost two months.
He clicked his tongue and said, "Isn't that making way too much money?"
Feng Ye smiled and said, "I was lucky to earn so much this time. I might not be able to do so well next time I go out."
Feng Xuan nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.
Fishing at sea is a job that depends entirely on the weather.
When you're lucky, a single haul can yield tens of thousands of kilograms of seafood, and all of it is valuable.
But if you're unlucky, you might not get anything good for several days in a row.
"Brother Ye, how do you calculate the boatmen's commission? Do you need to deduct the costs?"
Ah Can looked at Feng Ye and asked.
"Of course, costs must be taken into account."
Feng Ye nodded, then added, "But we don't need to be too harsh. It's okay to give them a little more."
After all, everyone has worked so hard for so long.
Moreover, we still need them to continue going to sea in the future, so we must win them over.
As for the commission, let's give them 185 yuan.
In addition, give each of them a red envelope containing 20 yuan.
I said I would send them red envelopes, and I definitely will. I can't go back on my word.
Twenty yuan is a lot of money; it's roughly equivalent to four days' wages.
It's only their first time at sea, and they've only worked for a few days, yet they're already receiving a bonus. That's pretty good.
"Okay, let's do it this way."
Ah-Can and Feng-Xuan had no objections and both agreed.
Immediately, Feng Ye took out the red paper he had bought on his way back to the dock, cut it up, and prepared to use it to wrap red envelopes.
He worked quickly, and in no time, he had cut several square pieces of red paper.
Then he wrapped 20 yuan inside each bill, folded them into rectangles, and put them in his pocket.
Ye Chenliang and the others are sleeping right now. We'll wake them up when the ship is almost at the shore and then give them the money, along with their commission.
Thinking that nothing had been overlooked, he lay down on the bed and said, "Brother, you steer the boat for a bit, Ah-Can and I will rest for a while."
"good."
Feng Xuan responded, walked out of the sleeping pod, and went to the driver's cab in front.
Having sailed the Harvest and had experience operating large ships, he was naturally adept at operating the East Rising and handled it with ease.
Feng Ye was completely at ease and not worried at all, so he closed his eyes with a clear conscience.
I feel very sleepy, but for some reason, I just can't fall asleep.
He tossed and turned for a long time, and even though Ah-Can on the upper bunk across from him was already snoring loudly, he still couldn't fall asleep.
"Damn it..."
He cursed under his breath, then got up and prepared to go downstairs to enjoy the sea breeze.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Feng Xuan turned around and asked, "Why are you up again?"
"I can't sleep."
Feng Ye shook his head. "I'm going downstairs for a walk."
With that, he walked out of the cockpit, down the steps, and onto the deck.
The sea breeze caressed his face, bringing a touch of coolness that made him more alert.
He stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze piercing through the waves, looking into the distance.
The sea and sky blend into one, vast and boundless, which makes one feel open-minded and carefree.
However, this tranquility did not last long, and Feng Ye's thoughts returned to reality.
Thinking about his experience at sea and the income he had just calculated, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Big Ship Network has more cargo and makes money faster.
He suddenly smiled and started laughing to himself.
Sure enough, the richer people are, the faster they make money, the richer they become.
Ordinary people can only painstakingly save money little by little, while it is much easier for rich people to make money.
Once you make money, you reinvest it, and it grows bigger and bigger like a snowball.
"It seems that when we get back, we need to discuss with Ah-Can and my older brother that we shouldn't rush to divide the money we earn in the future, but save it up to buy a boat."
Only with more boats can we make more money.
He felt a sense of satisfaction as he thought about this, and then he remembered the miscellaneous fish and shrimp in the fish hold.
